"Then don't be the emperor!" A woman who failed to petition said angry at Hadrian, but the emperor turned around and handled her complaint.

"At any cost, mobilize Pompei and fight him to the decisive battle." Caesar's order was quickly issued to the entire army.

Then, the camps that extended the entire ridge line were operating. Caesar and Li Bida drew the first brigade from each legion, and then gathered all the cavalry at hand together to form two mobile groups, led by two individuals, and the rest of the brigades were stationed in place to save food.

Then, the armed training began. Every other day, like on duty, the two mobile groups wandered around and attacked the towns of Pompei. If they succeeded, they would be regarded as fighting the autumn wind. If they did not succeed, they would create a siege under the city, hoping to lead Pompei's army to fight to the decisive battle.

But the other party seemed unmoved and still stuck to Uzta City. + No + Wrong +

Until King Juba could not hold back, because he heard that the Eighth Legion of Tap and Aphranius had not completed the task of expelling Hitius, but was driven back to the city of Zama at the junction of Carthage and Numidia. He was besieged by the guerrilla army of Hitius, and the residents of Zama City had strong rebellion. Bad news came one after another, and every day, the Gatulians escaped from the king's imperial camp, some went to Caesar with weapons, and some did not know where they had gone.

The thunder-fury King Juba wanted to give Caesar a certain blow to restore his momentum. "If this is not the case, I will really become a complete nomadic king! My wife and children are captured by the enemy. This is better, either Pompei will attack with me, or I will lead my own troops to fight Caesar, and if I lose, I will surrender to him and keep Pompei himself to realize his great strategic plan."

Pompei, sitting on another chair, pondered silently. His staff members kept explaining the current situation to King Juba. The one who was anxious was Caesar. Because his food and water were difficult, many Libyan coastal cities gradually fled towards us. As long as they persisted for a while, they kept giving Caesar a setback in the defensive war, we would definitely win a turning point in our fortune. At that time, we would force Caesar to fight to the decisive battle.

But King Juba refused to listen. He roared and raised various criticisms to the Romans. He ridiculed the Romans as all the unreasonable people. As a result, the elders, especially Surpisius, Cruise and others, became angry. But they did not dare to attack King Juba, the barbarian, but surrounded Pompeii. He asked him to take the initiative to fight a few beautiful battles.

"Now our attack is to be controlled by others. The most basic military key is to never do what the enemy wants you to do." Pompey didn't feel relieved when he saw that even the Romans themselves did not trust him, and he answered breathlessly.

"But didn't you say that Caesar is already very short of food and fodder? Are we, who have abundant supplies, still afraid of him?" Surpisus said in a hurry.

"Yes, it's because Caesar lacks and we don't lack it, so why bother going out to the wild and standing in the same conditions as them?" Pompei was still explaining patiently.

"Because this can accelerate the arrival of the victory fortune, and the God of War will not shelter the indecisive people. If you want to really win the support of the autonomous city and speed up the progress of defeating Caesar, you must show some performance." Cruise also spoke and suppressed Pompey.

"Take some performance!" In the end, whether it was King Juba or the elders, they all began to surround Pompei, throwing out such views, and saying that they had to go out to fight, which would not only stabilize the allies, but also strive for the effectiveness of the surrounding towns. Caesar could no longer be so arrogant, otherwise it would be too late to wait until the wind direction changed.

Rabinus wanted to speak, but no one wanted to listen to him. Even Pompey dared to deny and scold him. How could he care about a soldier who was a civilian guardian? Scipio sat upright on a ring chair symbolizing his identity, closed his eyes and pondered. Several monkeys were leaping around. To be honest, even Scipio spoke was not important. In the eyes of elders such as Surpisius and Cruise, he was just an accessory called "father-in-law". People like Zhengjiao didn't care about it, let alone an accessory!

In the end, Pompei couldn't bear it anymore and approved the plan for King Juba to play, and asked Scipio to lead a team to join, "Try to set up camps far away from Caesar, don't fight too much, just keep an eye on him." This was Pompei's secret reminder to Rabinus, because he knew that his father-in-law was not normal now, and Scipio seemed to be scared by his own shadow just now.

On July 16th, Caesar still sent troops. This day was the day when Rome was defeated by King Brenus of Gaul on the Alia River 340 years ago, also called "Alias ​​Festival". According to tradition, Roman generals could not lead the army out to fight on this day, but Caesar did the opposite. In order to show Pompeii how anxious he was, he was indeed very anxious.

Caesar's cavalry and infantry crossed the valley where the two armies confronted each other and walked straight to the nearest Mount Jemale. Under Libida's gaze, they turned toward the city of Zeta. Next to this town are two towns called Sasura and Waga, which form a triangle. Now Caesar's target is these two towns, and the specific point is to plunder food and fight the autumn wind.

Rabinus and King Juba pointed out ten thousand cavalry, including three thousand saddles, seven thousand saddleless, and five thousand light infantry, galloping towards Caesar on the road on the other side of the Jemale Mountain. Of course, when Rabinus's cavalry passed through the high ground, he did not see Li Bida doing anything. "His horses lost a lot in the last battle of Zeta, and should not be able to catch up with my speed." Rabinus thought so,

But he was still very cautious, leaving a small part to block the road to restrain Li Bida, and the rest rushed towards the direction where Caesar was.

Why didn't Li Bida take action?

Because he was torturing the captured Reginus, this man almost died of thirst in the previous battle, but now he was tortured by Tagus and others. "I have already explained the number and specific location of his legion. This is the limit I know. Even if you kill me, it will be of no use."

At this moment, Li Bida, who was sitting in a ring chair next to him, smiled. Because Turinus was still in the camp, the man volunteered to see how the former cavalry commander obtained information through torture. "Guardian, I think the lowly slave should be called tortured the knight so that he could feel humiliation and despair." Turinus suggested.

"No, dear Tulinus. From his words, I can determine that he is lying." Li Bida continued to smile, then looked at Reginus, who was covered in bruises, and the other party couldn't help but be scared to death. (To be continued...)
