At this time, suddenly a violent noise came from behind the Romans, and all the Cypriots were stunned, what new weapon was this from the Romans?

But seeing that the hundred-man team of Rome gave way one after another, countless pack horses neighed happily from the array, and rushed towards the Cyprus camp on the water waves, and at this time the pack horses in their camp also began to kick and scream, and many even gnawed off the ropes, and rushed to the door to meet their "brothers", and now the camp in Cyprus became a pot of porridge, and many soldiers who were originally armed with bows and arrows and javelins now did not dare to run around in the face of these countless galloping horses, nor did they dare to step forward to stop them, but could only squat behind the safe wooden fence. At this moment, the Romans shouted in unison, followed by the horses, and they tore down the wooden fence, stabbed the Cypriot army in array, and then erected their shields, ignoring the chaotic enemy, and slowly bypassed the crooked and staggered wooden fence and reached the foot of the camp.

"Lads, do you know how to completely collapse the walls of these Greeks in the shortest possible time?" The chief centurion under the shield called out Hebrida, and then he began to demonstrate skillfully, took the shovel of the famous man next to him, and said that he would come with me and dig a trench two and a half feet deep along the wall of the wooden barricade, and under the wall of the shield, the lightly armed soldiers wielded shovels and shovels and pickaxes, and the dust was flying, and they were doing what Hebrida said, but these tasks were very familiar to him, and Rome had only recruits who could not fight, and there were no recruits who could not build camps and dig trenches.

When the lower part of the raft was exposed to everyone, Highburida gritted her teeth and piled up rolls of linen drenched with rice oil. Then it was lit with a fire sickle. "Follow me. One every four Roman rulers, and soon in the midst of a burst of exclamations, the Romans' shields hula-la retreated a few feet, and the soaring flames soon burst forth, and a single burning piece of wood twisted and soon carried a wooden row fixed with iron nails, and the wooden rows beside it were skewed in turn, and many archers and javelinmen stood on it. They could only run down the staircase of the wall, and soon the front wall was crumbling beyond recognition, and a row of Roman soldiers concentrated forward, and slammed down with their shields and stakes, and in the great sound of collapse, the wood with flames and fly ash smashed against the shield with a loud bang, and the wall immediately fell backwards to the ground, crushing many of the howling enemy soldiers and horses, and the Romans then held their shields. Stepping on their bodies, they rushed into the camp......

This battle. The Cypriot army only killed more than 100 people and no longer resisted, because if they had stayed in the safe camp, they could still maintain a strong fighting spirit, but now that they had been destroyed by the Romans, and it happened that the Roman legions were also well nourished, they were not interested in killing prisoners of war, so they calmly handed over the military flag awarded by Ptolemy's great cousin to the Romans to surrender.

"We have resisted as best we can, but the fortifications have been destroyed, and the horses are in a panic, so we must admit that God is not on our side in this last resort." The generals who led the army stood in front of Li Bida and talked nonsense in pure Greek.

"Where do your troops come from?"

"The light cavalry was mainly Aetolian, the infantry were Athenians and Silesians, and the light infantry were native to Cyprus, with a small number of Cretans. Honorable general, I forgot to mention just now that our army is also short of food, so our surrender will be forgiven by morality and honor. "The general was still rambling after reporting the number.

Li Bida didn't have the heart to listen to him masturbate, so he instructed Sabo to dismiss the cavalry and infantry, and give ten drachmas each, as long as they don't be bandits in the countryside, we don't need these weak chickens, but all the Cypriots and Cretans summoned me, and soon a group of people dressed differently and wearing wide-brimmed hats came up, and Li Bida took out the Assyrian compound bow, and they shook their heads one after another, and said a few words, meaning that we will not use the bow of the Asians, and Li Bida shrugged helplessly, This means that they can pay a good amount of money, and allow them to keep their original flag and team logo, or they can meet their requirements for the use of a single bow in the Mediterranean, and serve as a subsidiary archer brigade for the Thirteenth Legion.

"You are here again, you must know that we are a Roman legion, but now your Excellency the commander you must understand that there is only one Roman among the three people in the Twelfth Legion, and now the Thirteenth Legion is afraid that there is not a pure Latin among the five people." Saab complained openly and dissatisfied, "In this case, it will be difficult to maintain the discipline and honor of our army." ”

"Saab, you're complaining again, I naturally have a way, but before we can defeat Paphos, we must work together regardless of race." Li Bida did not listen to it at all, he immediately announced that the thirteenth army corps should be reorganized according to such proportions, and Peternius immediately stood up straight and listened to the instructions of the commander-in-chief, this professional soldier is good, whoever gives military rations will sincerely support whom: first expand the chief thousand-man brigade to full, the rest of the infantry brigade only needs six, the prisoners of the battle of the Tisza River are all organized into two archer brigades, the artillerymen, oarsmen and baggage are organized into a separate brigade, and all the military slaves are liberated on their own. Equip them with the weapons previously captured in the arsenal of Salamis.

After issuing the order, Li Bida turned his eyes and asked the surrendered general, "Does your Ptolemy still have any troops to deploy?" ”

The general shook his head very dryly, and said that he thought that Ptolemy was at the end of his rope, but that I had heard before the expedition that he had riches and riches, but that he would not give them out as a reward, but hid them quietly, and most likely to hide in the temple of Great Love on the shores of Old Paphos, for the priest there was his half-brother, and there was divine power there, and he said that you Romans would not dare to cross the border, for Aphrodite is said to be the ancestor of your Latins.

"Really? I don't know if you heard the complaint of my staff officer just now, our legion up to the commander and down to the ordinary soldiers, few of them are Romans, so I announce that we will march to Paphos immediately! Soldiers, Ptolemy has no soldiers, and the great Eros, nay, the great Eros is calling to us. "Li Bida stepped on the white horse, and his order made all the soldiers cheer, is there an expedition that is easier to get the spoils of war than this?

Paphos was divided into two parts, the old one on the seashore, the new one was rebuilt after a great earthquake, and on the hilltop at a later time, the cavalry brigade of Junisonville cut into the plain between the old and the new town like lightning, cutting the connection between the old and the new, and then the infantry, archers, artillery, and baggage guards all entered, and indeed the great cousin of Ptolemy did not put up any decent resistance along the road.

"Chop the timber and prepare for the siege." Li Bida succinctly looked at the beautiful and elegant Corinthian town on the top of the hill and gave orders. (To be continued......)
