The 300 Presbyterians of Tapsus had never understood that they had done nothing in their agreement to betray Caesar: secret envoys were divided into batches, letters were written secretly, and from the facts, they also achieved their goal, but why did Caesar know this before Pompei? Originally, according to the prediction of the Presbyterians of Tapsus, Caesar, who was "taken off guard", would first panic for a few days when he was attacked from both sides. Then Pompei sent out an elite legion, or even six brigades, to break through Caesar's camp, come to his city to assist in defense, cooperate with the city's three thousand volunteers mobilized, and stabbed Caesar's troops who had lost their food supplies in the area between Ruspina and Leptis.

But Caesar was like a ghost. When the envoy of Tapsus arrived at Pompei's camp and when the city had just raised the flag, Caesar actually gave up his existing positions, and led three legions to his own city to get down! The fleet on Kerki Island was like a tacit understanding in advance, and there was no difference between Caesar's land troops in a day.

In the end, it was not Caesar who caught him off guard, but Pompey and the rebellious city!

This was Li Bida's trick. After he fetched information from Reginus, he immediately made a time difference. Before Tapusus learned that Reginus was captured, he forged Pompey's documents and asked Tapusus to rebel in advance, and did not give Pompey there to examine and ponder the time period. Then he carried the three legions on the sea fleet in advance as a reserve team in Caesar's hands.

In the evening, after the 12th, 5th and 15th legions came ashore, Caesar issued a hurry to order, "Only one side does not rest, the other side cannot rest. The Pompei Party has overdrawn its physical strength in the battle in the daytime, building camps and marches. You have just got off the ship, although you are tired, seasick and vomiting, but you don't care about so much - so you all fight for me, immediately!" Then, Caesar divided the five legions into two left and right parts. He adopted the "Thebes diagonal" deployment, and the three newly arrived legions were arranged on the right wing. Two legions were arranged on the left wing, the former highlighted the latter and left behind, leaving the Thirteenth legions and the fleet to surround Tapsus.

In other words, Caesar chose to fight immediately.

Pompei was panicked.

At this moment, at the city of Ruspina, when he was commanding the soldiers to build the walls of the siege, Anthony sneered a few times, and then asked the crossbow and the centurion on duty not to relax. Then he walked down the city wall tower and inspected the busy warehouse. Then he saw many soldiers of the two legions sitting in the colonnade of the market, begging the clerk to write letters to them. Anthony was surprised that Leo also sat quietly behind the small table there, and was working for the big-headed soldiers. Gradually, because the words he wrote were fast and clear, more and more soldiers were surrounding him.

Before Leo wrote, he would first listen to everything the soldier wanted to say, then write it in the most concise language, and then summon the next one. In the sunset, his hair was dyed with a faint amber color, as if it was from an extremely sacred thing.

"It's strange that Tulinus went to follow your father. He also lived in the same tent, like his personal soldiers. But you came here to take on the job of clerk. You must know that the two legions here are weak. If all the battlefield fails, we can't go back." Anthony walked to Leo and said in a scary tone.

But Leo looked up at him and smiled shyly, saying that people should obey fate's arrangements, and then lowered his head to work hard. After a while, he had finished all the soldiers' letters, then got up, leaned against the pillars, sat down, took out another scroll of papyrus from the box, and wrote them carefully on it, which seemed to be his own letter.

"Who is it for?" Anthony was still curious.

"For the two mamas, and Turinus' sister, because she asked me to be with Turinus, but now it seems that I have not done this, so I have to write a letter to apologize." Little Leo wrote for a while, then put down his pen and said to Anthony, "You don't have to worry about me. You should take into account your position. Everyone should perform their duties to achieve the final success."

This was quarrelled by the boy, and Anthony was not angry. He felt that there was nothing to make people angry on Leo in front of him. He just shrugged and turned around and left.

Leo wrote on the papyrus scroll, "Octavia, I must apologize to you. Turinus is now in the barracks. The place we are in is a desert and boundless. The soldiers said that even the crows fly over here must bring their own food. I feel that anyone who participates in the war and starts the war is dangerous, and those who join the war are respectable. I help the soldiers write letters from home because I think like Turinus, it is not helpful to these people. On the contrary, this behavior is more meaningful, allowing their families who are far away from the ocean to feel the pulse of their relatives. Zhuan, Leo, say hello to you together." After writing, Leo rubbed his slightly tired eyes, then placed the letter neatly in the box, and then placed the pen and other tools meticulously inside. Then he stood up and heard the roar and horns around him.

Under the city of Tapusus, the fleet of Aquila and Aidangis took the lead in shooting out raging flint bombs at the city dock and breakwater, indicating the beginning of the decisive battle.

In the sound of a trumpet, the paddlers and boatmen of Aidangis occupied the semicircular breakwater of Tapusus City in small boats, and then laid the circular rolling wood on both sides. Then, a single row of paddlers were pulled down to the inner bay along the rolling wood. Then these ships pulled over larger paddlers with decks. Each ship, Aquila and Aidangis, added higher towers to each ship, so that the crossbows were shot farther. After occupying the inner bay, due to the shortening of the shooting distance, the volley of stone bullets and lead bullets were greatly exerted, and the towers of Tapusus City were defeated one after another.

At this moment, Caesar's commander's camp also raised his red cloak, and all the soldiers in the front line of the legion were shouting, especially the Fifth Skylark Legion, whose exaggerated feathers were shaking, and they were still banging their shields like the Celtics. Pompei was full of panic. Rabinus ran out of the camp, trying to urgently build fortifications and move into the battle mode, but this actually led to chaos among the soldiers. Some went in and out of the camp gate, some ran around, and some stayed in place at a loss.

At this moment, a trumpeter in the front of the 15th Legion of Caesar's right wing, under the urging of chief centurion Polo, "Blow quickly, if you don't blow, it will turn black!" Then, with a "beep", thousands of soldiers, howling and rushing forward in a dark way before they received Caesar's order! (To be continued)
