Chapter 12 Tapsus (Part 2)

Then, Li Bida held Tulinus's shoulder and signaled him to sit and watch with peace of mind. Then he walked to Reginus, who was tied to a Celtic bench and asked softly, "You are just a knight."

"Yes, so what?"

"I have checked your resume. You are just a knight. You have not served any military posts in Pompei's army, civil guardians, or deputy generals. - To put it bluntly, you are just a tax collector he appointed in Zeta. The person who is responsible for urging money and food from the people as soon as possible. Do you think a person like you will know the location and number of Pompei's army?" Li Bida clamped his hands and said slowly.

"I, of course I know. If I don't believe it, I can report it to you." Reginus was a little panicked.

"Don't worry, of course I understand that you know everything, because that was what Pompei intended to tell you that using worthless intelligence to conceal valuable intelligence is the most basic trick in espionage. That's fine, Lord Reginus, I'll ask you a very simple question, what are the names of the six centurions in the chief brigade's positions from low to high?" Li Bida sat down easily and asked.

Reginus was silent, and the entire camp was silent. Only Tulinus rubbed his hands very excitedly. He knew that the guardian had stabbed the opponent's weakness with an invisible fighting sword and killed with one blow.

After a long time, Li Bida said, "In the things you carry, I found that there were letter templates for signing letters, right? They were definitely not city seals or private rings, but seals for documents used by Pompey." Then, he slowly escaped from the three seals with ink traces and arranged in a row. "Oh, right? Is it, Pompey never abandoned the nickname Magnus. After the Roman people gave him the title of "great" he used on his own documents."

Reginus was still silent, and Li Bida answered on his behalf, "This means you have another identity. That is Pompeii's contact messenger. Yes, Atreus also explained this identity. Tell me quickly, which city is going to betray Caesar? Now there is only this puzzle left. I will be angry that the puzzle process is too long."

Then Tagus placed the blade on Reginus' scalp.

"When the sand of the water chronometer leaked to a wide finger, he cut off his scalp, cut off his ten fingers, and pushed him down the mountain of Jemale to death. Another message was passed to the city of Rome. Reginus was declared public enemy and killed his whole family, including his children and slaves." Li Bida slammed the water chronometer on the table. The sound of sand falling rapidly made Reginus' sweat flow down. Three or four choices and thoughts flashed in an instant. Originally, it was no big deal for his death, or he thought it was a big deal after weighing the trade-offs, but Li Bida said it very clearly. The public enemy declared that his property was confiscated, his family was executed, and the mansion was leveled.

But soon, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his scalp, and even though his whole body was tied up by ropes, he tried hard to curl up. This is the purpose of Li Bida not trying to tie him up, "Let him have room and time to struggle."

In fact, after a small piece of scalp with broken hair was cut off, Reginus' resistance was completely over, shouting, "It's Tapusus, it's Tapusus! Their Presbyterian Church has submitted a secret letter to surrender to His Excellency Pompei within the agreed time."

Tapsus is not far from Leptis, but it is the largest trading port on the coastline. Caesar has a few supplies and most of them are stocked there. It is also the city with the backstory of Caesar's defense circle. If what Reginus said is true, then Tapsus really rebelled, in Pompey's eyes, Caesar will be attacked from both sides, and his dozens of legions will also end up with the end of the whole world.

"No wonder Pompey is so calm, but when he learns that Reginus has been captured, he should be afraid of him handing over the information, right? I have to use a larger smoke bomb to confuse him." Li Bida thought in his mind, and then he immediately drafted the seal, stamped Pompey's seal on it, and then used Reginus's ring to cover it.

He wanted to push forward the time of Tapsus' "uprising" to fit his plan.

On the other side, on a high ground outside Waga City, Rabinus and King Juba's large army had occupied the place with murderous intent and set up a camp.

Seeing this, Caesar took his own mobile group to challenge the camp in front of the camp. However, Rabinus kept in mind Pompei's teachings and not only ordered the soldiers not to go out, but also persuaded King Juba not to act rashly. As a result, at dusk, Caesar, who had no choice but to withdraw the team, but Vaga City surrendered because he could not wait for actual assistance. Caesar immediately "requested" supplies from the whole city to replenish himself, and then headed towards Sasura the next day.

The angry King Juba followed Caesar's tail with his cavalry and rushed into the abandoned Vaga, robbed all three hundred nobles onto the pile of firewood, burning them to death, for supporting the enemy.

Then, King Juba's cavalry tied Caesar's tail tightly and captured many vendors and mule carts accompanying the army. After interrogation, the answer was "Caesar's soldiers were fully armed to Sasura."

"Then such weather and environment arrive at Sasura, the physical fitness of the soldiers of Caesar will be overdrawn." King Juba judged, "It will be there immediately, and give Caesar a decisive assault."

Immediately, he did not listen to Rabinus' cautious advice and took all the cavalry to force Caesar's formation. Then, all Caesar's army stopped and twisted to form the formation against King Juba, who was so scared that he dared not take the battle.

After a day of confrontation, Caesar's advance troops captured the city of Sasura in front of King Juba. The small number of Pompei veterans and Numidian soldiers left behind were all killed by Caesar's orders, throwing bloody heads in front of the formation, insulting King Juba, and claiming that his country would soon perish, and that all royal families would be treated like this.

King Juba, who could no longer bear it, believed that Caesar's army had already passed marching and fighting and was extremely tired, so he ordered all the cavalry to charge against Caesar's army.

But Caesar, who was scheming, had already ordered that during the march, six hundred elite soldiers were selected without carrying luggage and handing over the weight to others to share. Therefore, these people were still fierce. After the Numidian cavalry rushed over, they cooperated with their own 800-se Weaver cavalry to launch a brave counterattack, which soon defeated King Juba's cavalry.

"No, we must attack!" Seeing this, Rabinus had no choice but to order his cavalry to rush over and reinforce King Juba. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
