At the city of Sasura, both sides uninterruptedly added forces to the confrontation line. Rabinus continued to stretch the wings of the cavalry in an attempt to give full play to the advantage of the number of cavalry, but Caesar continued to use the tactics of infantry and cavalry counterattacks to squeeze and smash the enemy's offensive everywhere. It was difficult to tell the difference for a while, and the battle was very fierce.
Finally, Caesar's veteran Milu led his troops to climb the walls of Sasura, and used crossbows and scorpion crossbow equipment to shoot out hunting spears and heavy arrows to attack the opponent. Another cavalry captain Bugadias, the helmet of a shooting spear, was cut in half by a hunting spear, half of which had been destroyed, and fell off the horse with serious injuries. Caesar's deputy general Gobala, was also held by a javelin thrown by more than a dozen Numidians. His right hand was injured and he was dragged back to the city for treatment. Both sides left behind dense bodies and wounded bodies on the line of confrontation, and then they retreated to the town and camp to stop the battle at dusk.
The next day, Caesar pulled all the soldiers out of the city and formed a formation to challenge King Juba. The two sides fought fiercely again, and the scale of the war expanded rapidly like a whirlpool. Li Bida led another mobile group to rush down from Gemale Mountain and fought with Rilias's surveillance personnel.
The excited Surpisius hurriedly asked Pompeii to lead all the other legions to break through the fortifications of Caesar's camp on the opposite ridge. But Pompeii had to act accordingly. Anthony, who was left behind, also selected forty infantry brigades, walked out of the camp to form a formation, and fought with Pompeii's men and horses at a distance with each other and fought with cavalry wars.
Another day of killing ended, at the city of Sasura. Caesar finally left some of the vitality troops behind the temple because he was unable to support him, and he was defeated and retreated back to the camp.
At the foot of Jemale Mountain, Libida made a small victory against Lelias, and then did not dare to fight. Instead, he took the cavalry to ensure Caesar's retreat. Pompei and Anthony's battles were not able to determine the actual victory or defeat, and each suffered hundreds of casualties and retreated to the camp. The front seemed to have returned to its previous state, but in the early morning, decisive news came - the city of Tapusus announced that it would fall to Pompei's side. He quietly crossed the line of fire and sent the noble hostages to Pompei's camp. He asked Pompei to send troops to assist in defense, and defeat Caesar with the inside and outside.
"It seems that Reginus's rebellion has worked, but Reginus is now captured by Caesar's army in the city of Zeta - but the attitude of Tapsus is sincere. The current situation is really as complicated as a fog, and the war gradually becomes irregular." Pompey pondered for a while, and then said to Tapsus' envoy, "Let's endure for three days. I observe the situation and decide to use the army to reinforce your city."
As a result, there was an uproar at the meeting. The veterans expressed dissatisfaction with Pompei's Youru and said that if this delay continued, it would not only lead to the death of Tapusus, but also make the entire battle situation difficult to return. This valuable opportunity must be seized.
"Send the order as soon as possible, hold the removal ceremony of the entire camp, and break through Caesar's camp position tomorrow and reinforce your city!" Surpisus seemed to see the road back to Rome, opening unimpeded towards him. In desperation, he actually issued an order on behalf of Pompey.
Pompei roared and stood up, "The situation is not clear now. I have seven legions and nearly 80,000 lives. When the Battle of Canny, the number of Rome's entire army was comparable to that of me now, and I lost almost the entire country's male defeat. Half was because of the terrifying enemy Hannibal, and half was the consul Varo who could only talk big. His reckless impulse and irrationality caused everyone to suffer a catastrophe! Now my wish is very simple, and I don't want this scene to reappear."
"You are now making everyone die slowly while drinking diarrhea poison." Surpisius also shouted angrily, "Are you still the great person who is enterprising? But now I ask Pompeii, you are the Senate, or the special fathers of us. If you feel that you are not competent for the current command, then we can immediately choose a deputy future to replace you."
The old lion was also angry and rushed up. He rushed up, grabbed Surpisius' collar, and pushed him to the pillar in the tent. The bronze oil lamp was knocked over and burned. The slave screamed and was busy extinguishing the flames. The surrounding Jiang Zuo and the senate hid in scattered. They had never seen Pompei so excited and disobedient. "Thirty years, thirty years, even if I was greeted by the ships of the underworld in a few days, I would express the grievances of so many years. It was not a pastoral song, but a bloody cry. The Senate and the Senate were all a group of vulgar bastards. They were such a group of people, like a group of noisy sparrows, competing for each other incompetence, biting the bedbugs in their mouths to show off each other, and then relying on the ancestors instead of their own talents to control this great country. They were afraid that the enemy was an owl, but even more afraid of themselves.
Eagles appeared in the group, yes, yes - they paid attention to everything, fearing a slight minor change, they pursue eternal 'happy possession' rather than an orderly and fierce flow. When any outstanding eagle appears, they scream uneasy, like a prostitute, because their sky cannot accommodate eagles, and they are afraid that the eagle will take away the carrion under their pale claws!" Then Pompey pushed away the unpopular Surpisus, while he hunched his back and shaking, saying, "I took over the army of Lukulas, and he called me the carrion eagle. Well, now let Caesar peck at my body and feel proud. You are all dead, and I will hit the most majestic cliff like a real bird of prey, in the thunder of lightning and thunder, and smashed to pieces, and smashed to pieces."
Rabinus was silent, looking at Pompei with his back to him. He wished Pompei could have his youthful energy or possess such honorary status as Pompei, but this was just a delusion. Soon Pompei turned around and said to him, "Don't die, Rabinus."
"I will not die, at least I will not take the initiative to die, Your Excellency. I made this vow when I was in Cocula, and I will continue to fight until the invisible hand of death stopped me." Rabinus raised his head and choked, "The feeling of stopping and resting must be very wonderful."
Pompei smiled and said it would be really wonderful, and I would immediately enjoy it, "In Yoyo's flute and the rumbling thunder, enjoy sublimation and collapse. This is death. All philosophical meditation is to train it for death."
At this moment, a loud voice came from afar. The token officer ran in with a look of extreme surprise and said, "The whole camp of Caesar was running scattered!" (To be continued)
