"We don't want to fight. Li Bida obviously hopes that we will attack Laconia City. Although I have a clear and huge advantage in military strength, it is completely unnecessary. Don't do what the enemy wants us to do. After taking supplies from Balearic, we headed directly to Sardinia, but avoid Li Bida's fortress and drove directly to Cararis at the southern end, and asked the Sicily fleet to pick us up. △" This is the scheduled plan given to the deputy generals before the expedition.

After a brief rest in the Balearic Islands and continued to set sail, Libida had arrived in Nova Laconia, and quickly brought the cavalry to the Oristano Plain, and quickly gathered representatives of all towns, and asked them very clearly before the rolling waves.

"This time the strategy is to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. In other words, we don't know when or where the enemy will fight ashore, so all towns must protect themselves and not leave food and fodder for the enemy. Time is very urgent - now towns and farms must complete the harvest of fields within three days, and then the inspectors of each district will pay it into the warehouses of each town. After leaving a quarter, three-quarters must be transferred to the city of Laconia immediately. In this process, those who dare to interfere will be dealt with as an enemy spy. If they are executed, they will be confiscated as slaves."

This order was too sudden, but obviously unquestionable - Li Bida's cavalry were all stationed in the core of the plains. Before the night of the day, they killed three local people who dared to disobey, and crosses were erected in front of the fields. Yulia sent out the "stick team" that the locals feared the most: they were all composed of slaves and portal slaves of the Emilius family. They carried triangular hats, simple copper breastplates, and held sticks and machetes with thorns, familiar with any local geography, and traveled through various farms and towns.

The mission was completed quickly within the specified time, and Tlureas' fleet also appeared on the coast of the south side of the city of New Laconia four days later. Now it happened to be the most gentle season for the entire ocean, and there were few turbulences and hurricanes, so Tlureas' army was able to choose a narrow and flat coast very accurately. Then all the legions took half a day to land.

Then, the cautious Tlureas asked the two auxiliary legions to search for plunder and supplies under the leadership of the deputy general Curia. Then, four legions circled the sea area, busy building a half-water and half-land fortress, and surrounded the ships in it to guard against the attacks of the enemy or storm.

Curia, with the fierce Taraco cavalry, lined up in a diamond-shaped formation, followed by several large groups of Iberian auxiliary light infantry. She rushed towards the nearest towns, but there were drums and trumpets everywhere. All towns were guarding themselves, young and strong, with sticks and throwing weapons onto the city walls, and the elderly, weak, women and children also carried supplies and assisted the battle below.

Curia, who was despairing, walked around several Rome with cavalry, but never found any food and fodder. When they arrived at the village, not only were there empty people, but all the livestock disappeared. Even the well was poisoned, which made everyone scold and were exhausted and thirsty.

The sun gradually sinks. Just as Curia ordered the rest to end, and when the entire army retreated to the mooring point of the ship, he suddenly heard shouts from all directions. From the streets and hills, countless Li Bida's cavalry rushed toward the sun. Their armor and flags shone brightly in the sun, which was breathtaking. "The cavalry team advanced and blocked them back. All the infantry held the javelins and shields tightly, and follow my flags and don't let go!" Then Curia sent several light cavalry to rush towards his camp, hoping to get the support of the chief general Tlureas. "In short, the situation of our army is in danger, and many soldiers and horses are no longer drinking water."

During the hard battle, Curia found that the opponent's cavalry was in a steady stream, and the advance and retreat were in order. Li Bida ascended the commanding heights, allowing a bird's eye view of the entire battle situation and commanded calmly. When Curia's cavalry had just stepped forward and was about to oust the Averni cavalry, Li Bida said to Parumma, "Hold the flag, take all the Germanic cavalry, cut it over!"

Without saying a word, Parumma skillfully controlled his mount, holding the flag of King Numa, and carrying hundreds of Germanic cavalry in dense formations, heading towards the gap between the Curia cavalry and the infantry formation, just like an unstoppable sword.

For a moment, Curia was unable to react and could only continue to charge forward, which was equivalent to throwing the infantry behind. But just as his Spanish infantry was about to raise their shields and weapons to line up against the Germans riding small horses, all the German cavalry roared to the right outside fifty Roman feet, and then rushed to the flank of the Curia cavalry, and then skillfully jumped off the horse, thrust the sword in his hand, and stabbed the Curia cavalry's mounts. This trick of turning cavalry into stairs and then using footsteps to control cavalry is the best at German warriors.

Under the fatal blow, Curia's cavalry rolled off her horse, and the rest turned around and ran away by luck. The Libida cavalry on the front side also came over like thunder. The infantry formation behind Curia was also scattered. After their cavalry escaped in scattered ways, they were unfast and were trampled and killed by the cavalry that Libida rushed over. The short mounts of German cavalry could be left obediently after the masters dismounted and went to the infantry battle, or ran slowly with the master's pace, as if they were tied to their waists.

When Tlureas personally brought two legions to the reception, Li Bida stopped when he saw the opportunity and retreated one after another, leaving only hundreds of corpses of Spanish infantry killed in the collapse, and fell into the wilderness.

After returning, all the commanders of the Spanish provinces were extremely angry. They lost their calmness and collectively asked Telureas to lead all the main forces to fight against Li Bida the next day. There were only two legions on the other side, and one was adapted by the horse bandits. They had weak combat power. We could completely defeat him in the field, or capture his city, and sell all his people into slavery!

But Tlureas still persuaded everyone with great sincerity. If he did this, he would fall into Li Bida's trick. From today's battle situation, the entire plain town was controlled by him, and it would be difficult for us to obtain supplies easily, so I decided to pull out the anchor tomorrow, cooperate with each other in water and land, carry the last five days of rations, and advance towards the port of Cararis. If Li Bida does not come to chase, our army will wait for the Sicily fleet to come to pick him up; if he comes to chase, we will concentrate all our troops, turn around and fight him to defeat him!
