So in the town of Mikning, located in the northwest of the Salt Lake of the same name, the Caesars and Pompei army fought the first defender and the forward. The legion arranged by Caesar was the Thirteenth Legion. They lined up along the town of Mikning, blocking the road between the town and the Salt Lake, and carrying a large number of bow teams with golden fly flags, shooting arrows at the chased Pompei army like rain.

"Run over, you can just figure out the details of Caesar." Pompei ordered calmly, and then Vibrius and Peletaus led the respective chief brigades of the First and Second Legions, forming a formation like a storm, and rushed over bravely. In addition, the three brigades of the First Legion departed to the north of Mikning Town, and formed a plunder and attacking against the Thirteenth Legion.

The 13th Legion's Arrow Feather Repression did not last long, so it fought with Pompei's forward, killing and injured many people, and then was defeated.

Pompei then led his guards and entourage to enter the empty town of Mikning, and climbed up to the tower beside the small hall above it, looking at the dynamics of Caesar's army ahead. As a result, as soon as he went up, Caesar sent another group of troops to replace the 13th Army, which was led by Quretas, the chief centurion of the 16th Army of Faobinas. They continued to block the attack again in a place outside Rome. So Pompei's army also acted as usual, adopted the most elite chief brigade, and fought against Quretas for half a day, and the other party slowly retreated.

Next, Caesar sent the elite soldiers of the 10th Legion to fight with the veterans of the remaining troops to fight with Pompei's army. This time, the 10th Legion is worthy of being the elite among Caesar's most dedicated elites. The battle was extremely cunning and fierce, and he fought with the first legion of Pompei and the two thousand-man gangs of the second legion. And because the corridor of the passage became narrower and narrower, Pompei's side could not use the tactics of cavalry detours. He could only continue to confront them.

This time, the Tenth Legion took about two days to cover and retreat. Pompei's forward guards were exhausted, and many people were injured and damaged. The rest of the soldiers were also sitting on the ground and resting. Pompei on the tower could only ask Rabinus's Sixth Legion to go up and not relax his pursuit of Caesar.

This time, the "La Colonia" legion was never effectively blocked by Caesar again. He successfully broke into four Romes, followed the salt lake, and walked to the coastal land west of Tapusus.

But Pompey was very discouraged and found out that he took Caesar's words again: Caesar played tricks again. He selected 600 soldiers from the three legions to move forward without luggage, and rushed in front of everyone, blocking the Tapsus people back. The battle was even completed before Pompey arrived at Mikning City. Then Caesar quickly built a half-moon blockade fortification along the outskirts of Tapsus - he continuously sent guards to buy time for this fortification.

Then Caesar left the Thirteenth Legion to siege the city, and then led the Sixteenth Legion and the Tenth Legion to flip over and form three fronts along the fortifications. In this way, Pompey knew at least one thing: Caesar's existing military strength was the same as his own, and his side had an advantage in quality and cavalry numbers, because the narrow corridor had crossed over, and the city of Tapsus was an open and flat terrain that was extremely suitable for infantry and cavalry to fight against Mercedes.

"We also build simple camps and barriers, and prepare to fight Caesar in the future!" Pompei ordered, and then he sandwiched many elephants and cavalry on his own wings. He and Rabinus personally urged everyone in the central part to set up camps, "Don't be afraid of the enemy's attack. They fought for a day and built camps, and all their strength was exhausted." This was Pompei's judgment.

In front of the southern corridor, Li Bida met with his sixth legion, and then drove out half of the dismounted cavalry to form a defense line, and then he brought the rest of his troops to build three camps that supported each other.

"You can't give Libida a chance to set up a base." Scipio and the King of Juba quickly judged the answer, and then they directed the elephant to rush up, "Roar, rush, take out the results of my training. You should not be afraid of any throwing stones or arrows at all!" Scipio sat on the elephant tower, shouting excitedly at the elephant masters on both sides and left and right, and running towards Libida's front. According to Scipio's understanding, in such a congested environment, it happened to be the best place for the elephant to exert its power, and it would be a scene of flesh and blood flying and trampling comfortably.

However, Hebrida stood at the front of the front and asked the soldiers to throw out the caltrops and put down many - large traps, yes, traps. When he was serving in the Seventh Legion for many years, he used this thing to deal with the sickle blade chariot that was rampant.

"Idiot, do you really think that war elephants are invincible?" Li Bida sneered in his heart, "Animals can never overcome their inherent shortcomings, but humans can. This is the most basic principle for them to climb to the top of the food chain after millions of years of evolution."

Standing behind the caltrops and traps were the low-headed Agrien and Rhode Islanders. The rain of stone bullets that they hit and hit were covered with the sky, which was much crueler than when elephants were trained. During the training, many soldiers secretly relaxed the force of smashing the elephant when they saw the tears on the face of the coach Scipio. However, Li Bida's men did not have these concerns, because they didn't want to be trampled to death by these thick-skinned beasts.

Many elephants screamed sadly, unable to bear the pain, and began to ignore the command of the elephant master, turned around and ran around. Instead, they rushed their successors into a mess in the narrow area. The rest of them rushed forward were panicked in front of the caltrops and beast traps, and they did not dare to trample on them anymore. All attack formations were blocked in front of the Libida fire line. In this way, the attacks of bows and arrows and stones became even more fierce, causing heavy casualties to Scipio and King Juba. After about half a day, they retreated one after another and could only set up camps with dismay.

The battle of the day ended again, but at dusk, Pompey discovered that the situation had undergone a critical change: on the coast outside Tapusus, there were suddenly a large number of ships, which Li Bida gathered Caesar and all his ships together to use. Aquila commanded the left-wing fleet, and Aidangis commanded the right-wing fleet, directly blocking the sea surface of Tapusus. They all came from Kerki Island and supplemented with sufficient supplies.

Then, Caesar's killer weapon appeared. From the flat-bottomed ships where the fleet docked, three new forces came down one after another. The 12th Legion, the Fifteenth Legion and the Fifteenth Legion. They were all secretly drawn to the ship by Caesar a few days ago, waiting to appear today and become the key to their defeat of Pompey. (To be continued...)
