"Five hundred dinars.n∈" When Octavian said this number inadvertently, he even regretted himself in an instant - what a huge sum of money this was, but he was still controlled by the imperative of encouraging the soldiers to buy soldiers. So after pausing, he continued to say, "Five hundred dinars silver coins... This is only for every ordinary soldier, and after victory, he will be cashed out, and then every centurion and military guardian is a reward of five thousand dinars."

He could feel that in the wind, Agripa next to him was trembling. Sometimes politicians and generals were trying to die. Even though they knew that they were feeding wolves and tigers with their own flesh, they still had to continue gambling. The final result was to see whether they were themselves, their own political enemies, or they died together and became the bait for these people.

Now, the guards commanded by Avenus, composed of Caesar's oldest veterans, took the lead in lifting their weapons and loudly praised the master's generosity. Then, under the instruction of Karenus and Angandinus, the soldiers of the two legions also shouted in unison, "We are not for the Senate, nor for the Republic, but for the few Caesar and Libidaus."

Then, in order to intimidate the Senate, all the troops began to form two on the colonel field, each holding dazzling flags, the infantry and cavalry armor, shields and weapons were neatly, shouting and intertwining each other, constantly changing formations and commands, just like a strong and fierce dance, their light chariots, cavalry and archers also galloped around the colonel field, showing their power of martial arts.

"Now, the Senate has temporarily handed over the command of these two legions to us, but in theory the highest command still belongs to the two consuls Pansar and Hegius. And you are just acting as the official officer. The rank is not as high as them." Mesenas, who was reading on the high platform, whispered to Octavian while watching.

"Speak your worries, Mesenas."

"There is nothing to say, only one thing to beware of the Senate. Now Pansa and Hejius have gone out to recruit soldiers, and the Senate wants them to recruit two new legions, namely the Forty-Two and Forty-Three."

Octavian thought for a while and then continued, "During the march, I only camped with my own guards, and the Sixth and Twelfth Legions mainly controlled them through joint meetings and established a good relationship with the two commanders."

"Will Anthony learn that we are attacking him behind the scenes, will it be detrimental to Leo?" Agripa asked with concern.

"This is exactly what I'm worried about, but now it's on the string. One step is one step. I believe Anthony will not hurt Leo for the time being. In addition, if our army and Anthony both suffer and lose all losses, the happiest person will be the Senate."

A few days later, from the southern city of Ruby I, Vonteuus brought three hundred Tarant's silver (mostly collected) and eight hundred Caesar veterans who were originally left behind. Then Octavian gathered all the veterans of the guards together and formed five brigades. Octavian was unique. The number of veterans was about 4,000, that is, the organization of each individual brigade was 800. "This kind of organization, against ordinary brigades to deal with the enemy, our brigade can easily kill the opponent; when encountering the enemy's chief brigade, it can also compete alone, so that there will be no flaws in the array." This is Octavian's opinion, and he completely regards these five guards as killer weapons.

Then, during the month of recruiting troops, Octavian was stationed outside the city as an agent officer, waiting for the reunion of the two new legions of Pansa and Hejius.

At this time, in a high-slope camp in the five Romelis outside the city of Mutina, the soldiers of the Skylark Legion, and the soldiers of the Ten Legion who appeared under the strongest name of Caesar, were divided into three sides and approached the fence outside the camp in turn. They folded into shield walls. The ones in front squatted down and the shields were raised from behind, and the light infantry mixed on the side and in the middle kept hitting stones and bows and arrows into the camp. The defenders inside kept wailing, and some people were hit and fell on the barriers, and some began to climb over the wall and escape.

This was the 18th Legion ordered by Dihemoth to garrison here. Most of them were recruits, mixed with sword-fighting slaves who were only brave enough to fight back. Faced with the suppression of Anthony's two elite legions, the vanguard of the 10th Legion took the lead in using a trowel to collapse the wooden fence and fill the trench. Then the new force drew his sword from the gap and rushed in to sweep away the remaining enemies.

"See it! The following is the moment when the cavalry comes on the field." Anthony, who was standing on the opposite slope, said proudly to Leo, who was also riding a horse beside him. "In the battlefield situation such as offensive and defensive war, the maneuver range of the defensive parties must be limited, and then the elite infantry must be used to conquer the support points of their city, seize the materials they hoarded, compress their herding and cavalry activities, and finally destroy the encirclement. Of course, every time they win, cavalry must be sent to chase and expand the results of the battle." It seems that Anthony has completely regarded Leo as half a student.

When the trumpet sounded, the Taraco cavalry and the Dalmatian cavalry of the Skylark Legion, the eleventh Legion (Eleventh Legion) were roaring in long columns, detouring from the roads on both sides of the two hills, chasing towards the chaotic enemy defeated soldiers fleeing, and the dust raised covered the sky and the sun.

"But, my respected father, Lord Anthony, we can see very clearly the area between the camp and the city. It is all divided into tiny and divided torrents. I am worried that the cavalry will be ambushed by the enemy when they go too deep." Leo leaned forward and suddenly asked a question.

"Haha, how is that possible? That guy Dihemoth-" Before Anthony finished speaking, many soldiers suddenly got up in the grass along the coast of Rome, inside and outside the camp. They shouted and threw darts and stones at Anthony's cavalry. The unexpected Anthony's cavalry fell off their horses and fled in a hurry. Many injured and fell to the ground were quickly dragged away by the other party with hooks.

It seems that this was indeed a pre-ambush by Dihemoth, because he had no hope of his new army fighting against Anthony, so he set up this light ambush in advance. On the way he must pass, he not only blocked Anthony's in-depth pursuit, but also killed and captured many of his troops.

Now Anthony's face turned blue with anger and bent his whip. Then he looked straight at Leo with an innocent face and said, "Boy from the Libidaus family, I will now entrust you to make a draft, just like that Sabo Kemus serves you, make a plan for the siege for me."
