"Rabinus will definitely make a big move in the near future, otherwise he wouldn't have instructed Machius to determine the location of the Lypida legion!" When Caesar returned to the camp, he immediately took off his scarlet cloak, and then his eyes rolled, "The main direction of Labinus should be Dicias in the north, because of the confessions of the two traitors. ”

But when Secledilius and other lieutenants asked Caesar to go and reinforce the northern position, Caesar refused, saying that I no longer had any reserves on hand, and that I had lost most of my vital strength in the previous day's battle, and then he closed his eyes and said: "I believe that the three legions of Lybidaeus will become the last reserve to crush Rabinus, and the role of the Roman reserve is to make the enemy have to accept a second war, isn't it?" The only thing left to do now was to send the Token Officer to alert Dicias. ”

In the darkness of the night, Caesar's Token Officer, together with a few cavalrymen, hurried into the darkness and headed for the northern position, where the marsh was rugged and dangerous, but there was little time to get around the streets.

"Puff puff!" The horse neighed in horror, and almost lifted the token officer off, and several javelins were stuck horizontally in front of the horse's hooves, and then, in the darkness and in the bushes, suddenly came a group of soldiers dressed in leather and animal skins, armed with bright blades, and the centurion who took the lead pulled the token officer down, and shouted in a rough voice, "This one, your journey is over." ”

This line of communication was apparently also told by the two renegade brothers, and at this time the supreme commander of the city of Kocula was carefully commanding the line of attack on Caesar's camp to the north: twenty brigades. and even every wing. How to walk along the different passages of this swamp in front of you. Constituting a coordinated offensive, this is simply a matter of hand-to-hand capture for Rabinus who has been immersed in the army for so many years.

In addition, on the Adriatic Sea, the fleets of Lipo and Sektus also extinguished the flames on their decks, and the masts lined up like dark forests along the dark and gentle tide. Quietly carrying the three legions, they anchored accurately on the sandy coast, and then the soldiers of the three Macedonian legions, either in small canoes or directly wading in shallow water, boarded the shore and stood in formation, waiting for the signal of attack.

And at this moment, the two legions of Dicias camped unaware, they were just within the normal warning range. That is, the wooden fence ditch is the boundary, and the patrol soldiers and horses are arranged. In the previous fierce siege battles of Kocula, most of them took place in Caesar's Eastern Front and Antony's Southern Front, so it is impossible to say that the camp in the north did not slack, although Caesar had also reminded Dicias a few days before sending the token officer to pay attention to the armament of the war, but Dicias was also difficult to carry out the military orders, he had served as Caesar's chief of staff most of the time, and lacked experience in leading troops on the front line.

When the bugle sounded in the barracks, Caesar got up with difficulty, looked at the water timepiece on the cabinet, and asked in a hoarse voice if the token officer had returned? When Caesar, who had always been steady, became inexplicably angry, he cursed the two defected Gallic brothers, and vowed to crucify them in the future and deprive them of their family's honor, and then he said, "Send the second and third token officers, be quick, take different paths, and our lines of communication may be betrayed!" ”

This feeling of knowing what the enemy's actions were, but not being able to react, made Caesar feel extremely uncomfortable, and now he also feels remorseful, first, he regrets that he listened to Anthony's risky and hasty advice; The second is to hate himself, why didn't he kill the pair of scumbag brothers before, at least imprison them.

But before the rest of the staff could arrange for the rest of the officers, Caesar was interrupted by the sound of an ominous trumpet and the sound of flint bullets piercing the sky, and he stepped out of the tent, and then said, "It seems that it is only up to Lybidaeus, for Rabinus has already launched a general offensive, and I have not guessed the goal, the time, and the action, but I have no strength to thwart him!" ”

Kalenus, who was next to him, hurriedly persuaded Caesar, "Give me the chief brigade of the Twelfth Legion, and I will go to reinforce the camp to the north." ”

"It doesn't mean much." At this time, Caesar actually flashed a trace of fear and helplessness in his tone.

But Callernus insisted on his request, and he persuaded Caesar, "War is luck and planning, but from my many years of experience in the army, it is also due to determination and perseverance, please entrust the chief brigade to me, even if I cannot repel Rabinus's attack alone, I am confident that I can buy time for the reinforcements of General Lypidaus." ”

Caesar's words were so impressed that he allowed Karenus to move and regained his confidence, "All the rest of the hundreds, come down with me at once, and hold back the men who are attacking Rabinus, and lighten the burden on the besieged positions to the north of our army!" ”

But by this time, the two legions of Dicias had been caught off guard and had fallen into confusion, and when the general rushed out of the camp with the chief brigade of the Ninth Legion to fend off the flood of Pompey's soldiers, he noticed that the camp of the Eleventh Legion had begun to show signs of escape, and Dicias cursed that it was Mars who was punishing him for his impiety, so that he was on the same line of defense as the long-legged legion.

But before Dicias could vent his anger, the enemy's light infantry quickly lined up, throwing their spears and bows at the chief brigade of the Nine Legions, and the flag bearer beside Dicias immediately fell with the arrow, but before Dicias could help him up, the flag bearer struggled to stand up, and the arrow went into his chest, but he still held the eagle banner tightly, and turned to all the people of the chief brigade and shouted, "I used to be a military slave, but it was His Excellency Caesar who freed me and put the flag in my hands, If I die today, I also ask my comrades to return the Eagle Banner to Caesar in good condition, and tell him with my loyalty and love for him, that the Eagle Banner Bearer of the Ninth Legion has not failed him, and that not a single of Caesar's Eagle Banner will ever fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

After hearing the words of the flag bearer, the chief brigade of the Ninth Legion shouted, "Sacrifice everyone's lives today, and protect the military flag for His Excellency Caesar!" Then Dicias was also enthusiastic, drew his sword himself, and fought with his subordinates side by side with the enemy.

But Dicias made a fatal mistake, as the supreme commander of the battle line, he should not be like a centurion at this time, raising his sword and fighting side by side with ordinary soldiers, but under the protection of his subordinates, he should quickly patrol the various camps and encourage the rest of the soldiers to go out to fight together, which almost led to the immediate collapse of the northern front.
