Chapter 14 Disintegration (Part 2)

After saying that, Pompei untied the sword tremblingly and placed it on the stone. Li Bida pulled the reins and controlled the mount to turn, and said to Caesar: "Your Excellency to continue here. I will command the legions on the front line to continue chasing. Not only will I capture all the towns and barriers of Pompei, but I will continue to expel and kill them, so that no one can regroup. (23w[x]"

Caesar turned his face and nodded. Just as Li Bida was about to move forward, Pompey, who was left alone on the hill, continued to shout, "Julius, I have no words to talk to you anymore. Destiny doesn't like the Pompey family, so let it go! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to fight this time so that the Romans would not forget the existence of Magnus Pompey. From this point of view, I am much luckier than my father who was struck by lightning."

Then, Pompey slowly stroked his hair with his hands, looked at Caesar with a smile, and Li Bida, who was cold-eyed behind the other party, and Tulinus, who was riding a mule, sighed, "Today I am a rotten meat, and you will also be the same in the future. Let the vultures that fly down endlessly sing at the feast!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Caesar stretched his arms in the saddle and shouted "Geneus".

Pompei held the wound and rolled down the other side of the hillside. The soldiers of the 15th Legion shouted together and stepped onto the hill. Caesar also ran up. But seeing Pompei struggled to get up at the edge of the salt lake, pulling the dirty and broken Alexander cloak tightly with his hands, and stubbornly walked towards the depths of the lake. The water gradually spread to his waist and soon reached the top of his head, until his figure completely disappeared.

"Geneus..." Caesar, who looked at this scene, had nothing to think about or say except to silently recite the name in his heart.

Tens of thousands of corpses were lying on the sandy ground in the corridor at the northern end of Mikning Lake. The Caesars' army seized three eagle flags, which are the full amount of the enemy's army's eagle flag, plus dozens of team marks. "Don't stop, give all the spoils to the military slaves to deal with. All soldiers overcome the difficulties in front of them and advance towards Ruspina City!" Li Bida rode a horse and demanded that all centurions control their subordinates and continue to pursue frantically. Thousands of soldiers shouted the slogan of "fe-Sun" in unison, forming a torrent that swept the entire wilderness.

In the corridor in Hunan, the camp of the Sixth Corps, including 4,000 affiliated cavalry, also set up a formation and approached the camp of Scipio and King Juba. The two brought cavalry out to prepare for the battle. In fact, they were already worried because the battle in the Hubei corridor last night was shocking. Scipio didn't know what the final outcome was, but Angandinus quickly told him: about twenty captured elephants, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood obediently with the array of the Sixth Corps.

"It's over, it's over." Scipio said slowly with his lips blue, then he shook violently and said viciously, "It's not over yet, let's go first!"

Then, the collapse began again. The cavalry and elephant soldiers in the camp fought to collapse. The screams made by the soldiers when they were trampled to death made the listeners terrified. Scipio knew that their troops could only have a glimmer of life if they ran towards Utica frantically and crossed the positions occupied by Caesar's army and the positions between the mountains of Gemal.

The four thousand cavalry of Dussenvier, Vicintoli, Mindaz, and Hanske raided Scipio's camp in front of the Sixth Corps, and the scene immediately evolved into massacre and looting.

Around the middle of Japan, the war spread to the cities of Ruspina and Leptis. "The moment of counterattack has arrived, and we have achieved a decisive victory in Tapsus." Anthony shouted excitedly, and then opened the city gate with the fourteenth and thirty-seventh legions (the 15th legion of the province of Gaul, which was directly written as the 15th legion in the previous article, which was confused with the 'Serapis' legion, and was corrected hereby) and opened the city gate and bravely stood out. They threw out the torches and siege Condisius's siege camp.

All the fortifications in the village were burned down. When Condisus was about to organize the people around him to resist, he found that the elder Surpisius carried the flag of the army and escorted himself and his assets to escape to the city of Utica first. Condisus was so angry that he shouted that all the elders and knights were perfect cowards. Then he resisted with his camp for a while, Anthony's troops chopped over the fences, filled the trenches and rushed in. Condisus set fire to burn himself to death.

On the other side, several legions in Caesar's old camp also took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack against Tulas. The three legions of Tulas could not resist at all and were defeated. Tulas was hit by several javelins, fell off his horse, and was trampled into flesh mud. Most of his legions saw no hope of escaping and surrendering. As a result, all of them were pulled to the fortification walls under Ruspina by Caesar's legions, and all of them were massacred, and used to sacrifice their companions who were killed by King Juba and Pompey.

At this moment, the legion commanded by Li Bida had arrived like a whirlwind. Surpisius, who had not had time to run away, and all the remaining soldiers climbed onto a hill beside the city of Ruspina. Teams stood straight, crying, stretching their arms with all their might, shaking, and repeatedly shouting the slogans of the Roman army until their voices were hoarse and they threw down all their weapons. This was their begging for mercy.

"Don't leave the prisoners, whether the soldiers or the veterans, kill them all." Li Bida repeated the order coldly to Petternius, and then he smiled quietly, held it on the saddle with one hand, turned his head to all the people surrounding the mountain, and shouted slowly, "Hey, I plead for these people. They just instigated the outbreak of this war, and there was no fault of being sentenced to death."

Petternius waved his hand, and the veterans of the 10th Legion were the first to thrust their sharp blades and gritted their teeth, "Kill these bastards who lead the bad ideas!" Then the rest of the legions shouted and rushed up angrily. The screams of the people on the mountain were cut down one by one, trampled to death, and their arms and heads fell everywhere. Looking at the tragedy in front of them, the other people in despair on the hills even knelt down and begged for mercy, but the answers were the sound of their throats being cut open, "I curse you, you can't treat me like this, I'm a noble father." Surpisius was pulled out by the soldiers, and he was still shouting, and then he was pulled in front of Li Bida.

"I have advised you to save your life. Since you love Pompeii and Katu so much, then let them be buried with them. Caesar needs you to die and clear his way forward." Li Bida said that Surpius, who was pressed down at his head and knelt in front of his horse. Then the entourage pulled out the axe from the rod and chopped off Surpius' head.
