Chapter 27: Never Abandoning Each Other (Part 2)

After saying that, Anthony shouted to all the cavalry, "Don't worry about the mutiny army, they will not cause any harm to me for the time being, because most of the soldiers are still hesitant in the dark, and you should follow my flag first to reinforce the Eighth Army and repel the sneak attacks of the Senate army!"

"Oh!" The cavalry of the Skylark Legion raised their spears and chopped their swords, and responded.

Who would have thought that at this time, there were killings in Mutina City. It turned out that Diheimos saw the beacon and knew that Octavian had launched an attack. So he organized several brigades that still retained their combat power and bravely attacked from the northwest corner of the city, trying to break the siege barriers of the Eleventh Legion. Diheimos was very smart in military affairs. He knew that the barriers on the Ninth Legion must be Anthony's main attack direction, and the elite soldiers and generals must be placed there. This is called avoiding the heavy and light, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual.

"What should I do?" Anthony called Wendyth without thinking for a long time. "You bring infantry and projectors, rely on the Five Legion camp to organize defense lines. If the enemy rushes down, don't fight hard, just hold them back; I will take the cavalry to kill Dihemoth first, and then save you in reverse."

Wendyth said there was no objection, and then Anthony assured him, "I figured out that the Caesars should not continue to kill each other like this." Then Anthony said to Leo, "Follow me closely, I will slow down the mount's speed. You are a smart child, and you should know that this is protecting you rather than restraining you."

v,w↘ww.Leo nodded, then drove his horse with Anthony, and led all the cavalry shouting battle trumpets around the city walls and trenches flying in the stones, and headed towards the barriers of the 11th Legion.

"Tram on the enemy as much as possible." Anthony yelled. He accelerated his speed. He cut across the Dihemoth army, who was desperately breaking through the wooden fence. He waved his sword and cut off the head of a sword-fighting slave with one sword, and together with the hooded helmet. On the top of the city, the people and soldiers were constantly forced by the supervisor behind him, igniting the flame covered with rosin, and constantly threw it on the siege towers and barriers of the 11th Legion, because Dihemoth's defending equipment had been destroyed. Seeing the 11th Legion soldiers who were in charge of the commander and cavalry to aid, they extinguished the burning fire everywhere.

Yan, who also re-controlled the crossbow gun shooting, was sent to the wall by Anthony's guards to protect Leo, clearly saw that every javelin of the crossbow gun was shot out, two or three people on the city were pierced and fell into the city. But someone came to take over from behind, and then was pierced and hit again. Until the 11th Legion's crossbow gun was impatient and directly used a light wooden arrow with fire and fired out. Not only did it shoot through the city people, but the fire behind them also ignited all the raging fire. The people and battlements were instantly entangled by a sea of ​​tragic fire, and screams were endless.

On the peripheral front, Octavian had personally brought the guards to the camp that had just been captured and accepted the cheers of the soldiers. Young Caesar was in a very good mood, but when General Zo asked about his next strategy, he was speechless: Should he rush down and attack Anthony's camp directly, or should he gradually conquer all the camps of the Eighth Legion?

Later, seeing that General Zuo was asking questions tightly, Octavian thought he was safe and "first to capture all the enemy camps on this front in turn."

However, most of the seven camps of the Eighth Legion were blocked by trenches, steep slopes and streams. The subsequent attack became very difficult. The cavalry artillery and stone throwing machines were also being dismantled and prepared to transport them, which delayed a little time, which gave Curio a leisurely opportunity to organize the defense line again.

About half a day later, Wendyth's infantry team also appeared at the foot of the mountain. After seeing the flag of the Fifth Legion, the Forty-Two Legion could be described as being particularly jealous. In addition, they were the new victorious army, so they rushed down all over the mountains and fields regardless of consequences, and then Hejius's Forty-Three Legion also suppressed.

Wendyth kept in mind Anthony's teachings and commanded his subordinates to resist step by step, constantly asking the light infantry to circumvent the flank of the Octavian Army. At this time, the Sixth Corps also set up cavalry artillery and fired several shots at Wendyth's troops. Wendyth began to retreat slowly, and soon the Forty-Three Corps rushed to Anthony's camp with ivy hanging on it and golden eagle up at the top. Knowing that this was the location of the enemy's commander, he rushed in. Anthony's army slaves fled in scattered. When the soldiers of the Forty-Three Corps entered, they saw Anthony's daily tables, chairs, cabinets, camp beds, various precious carvings and utensils, as well as gold-plated and silver-clad altars and ring chairs, and shouted victory, shouting slogans, asking Hegius behind to come to accept this great victory.

The shouts of "victory" came one after another, and even reached Octavian's ears in the camp. Many soldiers from his guard came over to lift him up to his shoulders and accept this great victory together. Even the number of enemies annihilated was released. Octavian's documents came out. More than 10,000 enemies were eliminated. Young Caesar could win the honor of "Imperato" by commanding the battle for the first time, and the entire Republic gave him a grand triumphal ceremony and a thank-you ceremony.

Octavian's face was filled with a slightly drunken look. He accepted the cheers of "Imperato" and deliberately handed over the task of sweeping the other camps to the Sixth and Twelve Legions to which the guardian belonged. He was cheering by countless soldiers and soldiers, many people held the ribbons on his carriage, ran with him, pointing and saying, "We have captured Anthony's camp."

"Turinus, the camps ahead are unclear and the enemy situation. Don't go any further. It's too dangerous. Just leave this matter to Hejus." Agripa, who was escorting beside him, kept reminding him. But Octavian didn't care. "The enemy's command center has been destroyed, Anthony has fled far away. I must be there, and the soldiers are waiting to share the joy with me."

At this time, the Ninth Legion and the Tenth Legion also sent envoys from the army to Octavian, saying that they had been deceived by Anthony before and were willing to join the side of Young Caesar, so the entire team was blocked at the foot of the mountain. Octavian did not seem to be commanding the battle at all, but was about to give an impromptu speech in the Grand Plaza of Rome. He greeted the envoys of the two legions cordially, and asked them to hand over the booklet, and swore that they would never cause any harm to the honor and personnel of the two legions. "Of course I know that you are all the subordinates whom my adoptive father relied the most."

"Turinus, no, look!" Agripa pointed to the direction over there and shouted in a hurry. Octavian turned his body on the carriage, looking at the distance of ten Stadias, and there were smoke and dust rolling and swords shining. Anthony brought the cavalry back. They hid behind the infantry and camp of the Fifth Legion in advance. After the scouts in front saw Octavian's gorgeous and eye-catching carriage, Anthony immediately issued an assault order.
