Chapter 14: Falling Down (Part 2)

Petternius, who had already decided, threw Tapuss aside with contempt, leaving only the bow team and a small number of cavalry and gunners, who cooperated with the fleet to continue blocking and strangling. He led the infantry brigade and shouted the high slogan of "Fe Japanese" and rushed out of the camp.

In such a slogan, Tapusus was trembling, Lake Mikning was trembling, Libya's coast was trembling, and flames and sea water were boiling. Pompei's three legions were defeated, but many of them were reunited by the coach's reprimand and the honor of the eagle flag, and continued to fight with the Caesars army that came to attack, and finally fell one after another under locust-like arrows and throwing stones.

The front troops of the Thirteenth Army marched on the corpses of the people and horses, and met the former cavalry commander who was carrying the guards and rushed over from the southern corridor camp on the fork. They stopped saluting one after another, "Comrades, soldiers, it seems too late to shout february!" The soldiers of the Thirteenth Army laughed and continued to chase with weapons. Then Li Bida asked Petternius 'No'Wrong' Novel' "What is the will of the subordinates of Pompei's army to resist now?"

The old deputy general shook his head and said that what he saw now was just the countless bodies on the front line of the two armies before, and our army had already penetrated into the enemy's barrier area.

"Then I will give you a task, maybe Mr. Caesar can't bear to perform it." Li Bida on the horse was wandering and said.

"Abide by the commander's orders." Petneus answered without delay.

"His Excellency Caesar, I don't want Pompei to be alive after the end of this war." Li Bida's side face shook in the flames. He said softly.

Petternius said he could execute it. His thirteenth legion would follow the pace of the five legions in front to wipe out any remaining enemy soldiers on the battlefield.

"Also, kill all the veterans of Pompei and the elders on his side, and do not accept any form of surrender." This was Libida's additional order. Then Tulinus looked very excited and rode a gentle mule and rushed up. So Libida and Petternius nodded in understanding each other. Then the latter accelerated his pace and went to command the army to pursue.

"Please hurry up the guardian, I hope to meet my uncle with you to celebrate his unparalleled victory." Turinus's face flushed, his malaria and fever had just recovered from it. He looked thin but energetic.

"You are already very familiar with the army's mules, Turinus." Li Bida said, looking at the obedient mules.

"Of course, I'm riding it is a good sign, because the mule is called 'Victory'," Tulinus said with a smile.

At this moment, the stars slowly disappeared, and the summer sun shone on the entire salt lake and land. Mikning Town was also taken down by Caesar. The remnants of the chief brigade of the Pompei Legion who resisted were all killed by the 15th Legion. Finally, they avenged the revenge of a single arrow in the ambush in Kofinium. Pompei's most elite veterans showed their greatest indomitableness. They were all gathered in the corners of the broken wall, and under the smoke and fire, everyone's bodies were squeezed together, which caused no one to fall down, and they all looked like they were standing, their bodies, armor and shields were all densely shot on the arrow feathers. From bottom to top, it made people with phobia unable to bear to look at them. Blood flowed out in a pile and flowed into the ditch in front of the broken wall.

In front of the high hills near the salt lake outside the town of Mikning, Pompei and Peletaus, and all the guards were found, or he had no intention of escaping. The great general personally held a spear and attacked the soldiers surrounded by Caesar several times. However, the soldiers of the 15th Legion all listed densely and shot him back with darts and bows. During the last charge, the aging Pompei's horse was shot to death, and he was hit by a raft in the ribs. The spear fell to the ground. He also sat on the stone. Although his armor was almost broken in the fight, Peletaus and several veterans still held their shields and guarded Pompei around him, blocking other arrows.

"Has Rabinus escaped? Sorry, Peletaus, although he had agreed before that you and Vibrius should survive, he died too early, because he was escorted to the Eagle Flag, and now you are going to die to protect me again." Pompei gritted his teeth and lifted up his armor. The arrow was deep into the flesh and could not be pulled out for the time being. He said these words with panting, but Peletaus in front of him did not move. Pompei looked at him. The old comrade's waist and arms had been hit by five arrows just now, and the blood was instantly drained because the arrow clusters of the 15th Legion had barbs and grooves.

Pompei smiled bitterly twice, and then he slowly stood up with the sword "Altolicus" inlaid with diamonds and gold. It was also his glory, the spoils from Mitradath VI.

At this moment, several large groups of soldiers quietly surrounded the hill. Pompei wrapped his cloak tightly and looked calmly at the foot of the mountain. The bodies and soldiers were all over the ground. Soon, under the guidance of the entourage and the flag, Caesar, Libida, Turinus and all the generals came on horseback.

Caesar was just below the mountain, riding on a horse and watching Pompei standing among the fireworks. After looking at each other for a while, Caesar said, "From the beginning of the Rubicon River, to Brindisi, and here, I have always wanted to have a chance to talk to you."

"Aren't you always talking with swords? Now there is one party about to shut up." Pompey smiled contemptuously and said.

"Geneus, shouldn't we do this? I believe that it was just someone who was sowing the disagreement among us. What are the noisy veterans, Cruise, Surpius, Katu, Dumigos, etc., they do not allow heroes like you and me to appear. You and I are all envied by fate and revenge gods. Why do you and I have to kill each other?" Caesar's words were not only for Pompeii, but also for all the soldiers present. He hoped that everyone could understand what the meaning of this war was, not for power and profit, nor for overthrow of the republic, but just a huge misunderstanding caused by the traitor, a conspiracy against him.

Pompei covered the wound that was shot by an arrow and laughed, saying, "No matter what, even the brothers Romulus and Remus would turn against each other back then. I remember a very famous saying, "Brothers will eventually become enemies, right? Julius, don't complain about any fate. Only the winner is qualified to do such a thing, and the loser can only accept it calmly - I failed."

Then, Pompey saw Li Bidaus, the deputy who was standing behind Caesar, smiled and raised the "Altolicus" in his hand and said to him, "This heroic sword should be what the person you are familiar with should have. I don't want to bring it into the grave." (To be continued...)
