The army of Dehemoth, who had been hurrying through the streets of southern Gaul for a day, did not encounter any resistance along the way, and Dehemoth was not an incompetent fool, he had always served in Caesar's army and had always been known for his "means and ideas", and he made many leaflets of the forged senate to march into Rome to kill Antony, telling him to lead the cavalry and armed slaves of the army, and posted them all over the province, and also posted them in the surrounding areas such as Pinukam and Etrunia, so that many towns were not guardedand opened the door to him.

And Dehemos did not harass or plunder these towns, but only demanded a small amount of grain and fodder from them, and the whole army was still advancing towards the border like lightning.

At the same time, Antony's legion was also advancing northward, towards the Rubicon, but this one was much rougher, because the soldiers kept asking him for pay and wages, but Antony's previous embezzlement of Caesar's inheritance had already been spent, so there was only one way, no, two roads, to be exact, it was one way, but Antony skillfully split it:

Article 1 shall send a separate infantry wing, or brigade, to the towns and colonies through which it passes, and to collect supplies in the name of the conquest authorized by the People's Council;

The second is to send a separate infantry company, or brigade, to the towns and colonies through which they pass, and to collect supplies in the name of the people's council authorized to conquer, but if they refuse, they will directly attack and loot.

So the whole team was broken up into pieces, without the speed and efficiency of the march, more like an unorganized raiding army, and every day Anthony had to set up the commander's camp in the center of the raiding radius. It's like a dealer who buys supplies. And a number of battalions were also set up in the rear of the camp. The bazaars of peddlers and prostitutes were lined up one after another, and there was no discipline to speak of, and all the soldiers, whether of the lark legion or the reinstated Caesar veterans, spent their days drinking or gambling, and shouting for Anthony to hurry up and distribute the rewards he deserved.

But Anthony worries the most. Or Leo, not for anything else, but this kid is simply too studious and calm, whenever the commander of the whole army, Marco. When Anthony walked into the camp with his tired body, ready to summon the drunken beauty to kill the boredom and boredom, he would find his "personal" military tribune sitting upright there, asking him about the various techniques and methods of marching and fighting.

"Father, Lord Anthony, how does the communication between the legions or brigades of the army work?"

Anthony had no choice but to take off his armor and cloak. Sitting there, he said to Sù Leo with his drink. "Any army, whether Roman or barbarian, has only three types of means of communication, and that is the password, the trumpet, and the flag, but these three are different, well, I'll take a sip of wine first."

"There's clear water here, and I don't think the drinks are particularly good for your mind and throat." After saying that, Leo took the initiative to push the cup in front of Anthony.

Anthony looked at him a few times, then with a numb expression, tremblingly took the glass of water, and after a few sips without tears, he could only continue to explain to him, "The password is to distinguish friend and foe in melee and duty, and it should be changed every day; The military trumpet, on the other hand, commands a large army, and it makes a variety of sounds, representing the sortie and retreat of the troops; The flag is a silent signal, for example, the legion uses the eagle flag, the cavalry uses the long flag, the infantry uses the team mark, and the commander will also use the cloak and special flag to issue orders to guide the army in battle, and all soldiers must remember the direction pointed by the team mark, otherwise it will be completely chaotic. ”

After saying that, Anthony let out a long breath, and several prostitutes immediately came over to relieve his fatigue, ready to relieve his fatigue, but Leo raised his hand again, frowned very seriously, and asked, "So, once the battle begins, what kind of natural food should you pay attention to as a commander when setting up the formation?" ”

Anthony covered his brows and leaned back in his chair, and several prostitutes could only gather around, but did not dare to step forward, baring their teeth and glaring at each other, and after a long time, Anthony said in a very, very tired tone, "You are only a military tribune now, do you need to ask this commander or consul what only cares?" ”

"On the contrary, my father, Lord Anthony, I think this knowledge must be mastered during my time as a military tribune, otherwise it will be a disaster for an army to be cared for all the time when he becomes a commander." Leo was so excited that Anthony almost rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth, so he took a few more sips of water and said, "The sun, the dust, and the wind, these are the three things that need the most attention." They had to face away from the sun so that the sun would not interfere with the shooting of bows and arrows and stones, and the wind and dust would have a great effect on them, and of course these natural factors were sometimes our enemies, but sometimes they were our friends. ”

Leo recorded, and then nodded as he listened, and then he asked Anthony about the cavalry, and Anthony, who was so annoyed, beckoned to a prostitute, and then opened his crotch, and the prostitute stepped up at once, and the one next to him hurriedly brought all kinds of drinks to the commander, and then Anthony said to Leo very proudly, "I am doing my errand, and to disturb it again is to be punished by God—if you are really interested in the things of marching, I advise you to go directly with your shovel and dig the fortifications with the soldiers, That's more intuitive. Go, go, go! ”

"But I still have some questions!"

"Now all I can teach you is the knowledge of hand-to-hand combat, get out of here, little bastard!" Anthony shouted.

Leo shook his head, grabbed a shovel in the tent, walked past the humming "Father Anthony", and walked out of the tent. As a result, he soon became acquainted with several centurions who were digging the trench together, for they knew each other and his father well.

While Antony's march was slow, Dehemoth's men had quickly reached the foot of Moutina, the main point of the street.

At this time, the city of Mutina, like other towns, sent elders and envoys to prepare to welcome the army of Dehemoth into the city, intending to provide some necessary supplies, so they sent this group of Qiu Ba Datou soldiers away.

But Dehemos suddenly turned his face and seized everyone, and then all the legions rushed into the city with their weapons, and took down the four gates and all the towers of Mutina in an instant, and then confiscated all the property of the local inhabitants, and demolished all the houses, "In addition, hoard all the grain, salte all the meat, and build fortifications around the city of Mutina, where we will fight to the end with the thief Antony!" Dehemoth said proudly. (To be continued......)
