When Sexetus saw the galloping cavalry of Lipida, what surged in his heart was not hatred, but a certain feeling of envy, but he was originally the cavalry captain of this army, but he had no horses under his command, only a group of "dismounted cavalry", because there was no forage and no water source, all his horses had been disposed of.

But the little red horse, the mount of the little thunder god, was still there, and at least he could be at the same height as the enemy, and he came to the duel in a dignified manner, so he roared, like the Persian nobles of the East, and lifted the battle axe, which was not commonly used by the Romans, and led his subordinates on foot, and his father-in-law Lipo pressed for him, and personally acted as the vanguard, and hedged against the Mattia cavalry of Lipida.

In the flying sand, Sektus's loyal men were spilled blood, one by one they were bumped, trampled, or killed by Mattia's spears, but all of them fought bravely with their short arms. The blue feather feather on Li Bida's hat and helmet was also dyed red with flying blood, his expression became very terrifying, holding a fighting sword in his hand, constantly slashing at the enemies rushing over, Hansk also shouted and tried to protect him, everywhere there were figures shaking, and the shrill horn whistle, "I didn't expect that now it is actually my vanguard general, replacing Arp to protect me." Li Bida shouted self-deprecatingly, but the effect of the assault he personally led slowly appeared, that is, the second-line soldiers of Pompey's army were alternated, and they were also cut off, resulting in chaos.

Now the two sides have abandoned any tactics and have completely evolved into skirmishes without formation, with soldiers of all colors mingling together, stabbing each other and dodging each other like the turbidity of the rising tide of Apollo. The sound of clattering bones and falling flesh. The unarmed one does not fall shaking with an arrow. It is to use the last of their strength to knock the enemy to the ground and gouge out each other's eyeballs. "The general with the blue feather on the other side, you must not be a Roman, what kind of sacrifice did Caesar offer to the evil god to liberate you from the filthy and dark valley and endanger the people of the country!" About fifty Roman feet away, Sexetus jumped off his mount. Holding a Spanish leather shield in his left hand and a snowy battle axe in his right hand, he quickly approached in the direction of Li Bida.

"I'm sorry, I made a promise to my dead subordinates, and I lost interest in fighting between commanders, not to mention that you are so young, you must not be one of the two commanders of this team." As he spoke, he quickly turned his horse around, and at the same time waved his hand, the Gallic and Germanic cavalry under Hansk. They threw short javelins at Sektus, who shouted. reprimanded Li Bida for his despicable cowardice, and on the other hand, he flexibly blocked the whizzing javelins with his leather shield, and helplessly moved his body and was forced to retreat.

Soon after, the two sides retreated to the range of the other party's projection troops, readjusted their formations, and prepared for the next round of fighting, Li Bida had to admit that if the Pompey army on the opposite side was well fed and had plenty of body, let alone five legions, that is, three chief thousand-man brigades were drawn, and his twenty-seventh legion might not be able to resist even two daylight moments.

Even now, in the middle of the day, the hillside was already full of wounded soldiers and corpses, and this newly built legion was good enough, but if Pompey's army charged again in the next round, and Li Bida still wanted to stabilize the front, he would have to be a little lucky: either he succeeded in using Galius's reserves, or he received reinforcements, or Caesar's main force over there arrived in time to cooperate with him to annihilate this enemy.

If you are someone else, you may hope that these lucky situations will happen at the same time, but Li Bida is different, he is already a sophisticated and calm battlefield killer, in terms of courage he may not be as good as Sexetus just now, but in terms of composure is far better than the other party, Li Bida has always believed that what is needed in modern warfare is accurate calculation, and it is the same in ancient times, even if the wars of this era are often full of art and drama.

"Then take it one step at a time, and don't lose your impatience." Li Bida silently thought in his heart, and then ordered the tired and wounded soldiers to retreat to the camp in the rear to rest, leaving some cavalry and light soldiers to monitor the movements of Pompey's army, and the rest of the combat-ready to eat and rest again.

In fact, in terms of provisions, Li Bida is almost embarrassed by Sektus, but he also needs to hold on, throw all the remaining food and forage to the centaurs and divide them equally, and then, then "pull down and dry"!

On the other side of the open field, Pompey's army was evidently slowly stirring, they were more time-consuming than the Li Bida troops, hunger, exhaustion, and the misery of not having a rear camp slowly emerged, and they had to rush out in a hurry, or else they would die without a place to be buried, but it was evident that the enemy was still resisting on the cross-sectional hillside.

"This sortie, even the Allied forces have used it." Li Bida muttered, in his downward sight, Sextus and Peletaeus also pressed the troops of the third line, the dense hats and helmets and human faces, all huddled together, it was impossible to distinguish clearly, this was to give the twenty-seventh army some kind of huge pressure, with the advantage of numbers to break the opponent's defense line - Sexetus never expected that the subordinates of the great Pompey would also be reduced to using this kind of trick.

Over there, the four still working cavalry cannons once again "sounded" in the front line, and the stone projectile fragments smashed wave after wave of Pompey soldiers to the ground, but they still endured hunger and casualties, and kept the formation tight, even Cambano shouted angrily, scolding the other party's stubbornness, "They rush over this hillside, and we are finished." This was his shout, and now the soldiers on the second line were reduced to the first line of battle, and the slaves and guards were all thrown in, fighting selflessly on the hillside, and everyone was fighting for their fate.

Gradually, the numerical superiority of Pompey's army began to be highlighted, and even the soldiers of the allied army on the third line, even if they could not fight directly, struggled to push forward, Li Bida's defense line became thinner and thinner, and was squeezed more and more deformed, "I can't hold it anymore, Your Excellency still has cavalry, quickly retreat!" Anyway, the main force of His Excellency the Archon is about to catch up. Hanske took his reins and persuaded him.

"No, if it is defeated, then the previous sacrifices and losses will be meaningless." Li Bida gritted his teeth and said, "Now blow the military horn and tell the three brigades of Galius ambushed over there to turn into blades and give them a blow from the back." In addition, all the Mattias, all on foot, follow me to press the line! ”

A bugler, whose eye was injured and bleeding profusely, under the command, used all his strength to blow the signal to the high mons on the other side, and the mournful sound of the trumpet mixed with the sound of shouting and killing echoed around the valley, and it did not stop.

"Galius, I'm betting on you, if you're a traitor, I've really been played by fate." Li Bida concentrated, held his breath, and looked at the situation over there, when the blood-red remnant sun in the sky slowly sank in front of him. (To be continued......)
