Antony drove his horse to the area about a Roman mile away from the siege fortress of the Ninth Legion, announced that he would camp here, and move all his travels, clerks and guards here, and the Eleventh Legion over there had basically completed the siege of the fortifications, and the complete encirclement of the city of Mutina was roughly formed, and the rumbling of ballistas came faintly after a day, and Anthony sat down very easily, and drank a few sips of wine and water, and seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

As a result, Leo spoke again, "Dear Father, Lord Anthony, I think you should slightly separate the camp of the Tenth Legion from the siege fortress of the Ninth Legion, and then mobilize and dispatch it when the general attack is carried out tomorrow." ”

Anthony rolled straight onto the camp bed, turned to his side, and ignored him.

"I'll explain! Because you have ordered the rewards of the three legions today, but the Ninth and Eleventh legions have not, then if the camp is too close, there will be no unventilated walls, and if the military hearts of the nine legions resented you, it will jeopardize the entire siege cause. Before Leo could finish speaking, he heard Anthony's snoring, so he could only shake his head and step aside.

After nightfall, Curio himself came to the outer line of the Eighth Legion, and was responsible for continuing to monitor Octavian's movements, but at this time the change happened just as Leo said, and several soldiers of the Ninth and Tenth Legions, who were patrolling in front of the border trench of the camp, met them in front of the border trench of the camp, and chatted casually about the matter of the family letter, and as a result, the Tenth Legion boasted that they were about to receive a pen reward, and they could buy two slaves or many goats for their families, and the Ninth Legion was not happy when they heard it, and as a result, the news spread in the camp in the middle of the night. Many soldiers of the Ninth Legion rushed to the camp of the Tenth Legion and shouted. Say don't be too complacent. We were all veterans of Lord Caesar, but now Anthony is using force against Young Caesar, do you all know? He still has to be an accomplice, but the Ninth Legion has always besieged the city of Mutina, even if the reward is small, it has a clear conscience.

The soldiers and centurions of the Tenth Legion turned to their senses a little, and soon the inquiries and rumors spread wildly, and they all sought out the military tribune and commander, Secledilius, and asked if it was the Legion of the Senate who had fought against us on that day. But less Caesar's?

Sekedilius was hesitant, though he knew it, but he did not dare to admit it, when several centurions, who had been inserted by Antony, broke in and demanded that everyone rest and wait for the next decisive battle of the siege, and that if anyone dared to make any more noise, he would be executed on the spot with sticks and stones.

Several of the chief centurions of the legion have always been arrogant and hot-tempered, from the time of the relocation of the camp. It was a long time since they were dissatisfied with these Anthony cronies, so the two factions soon fought in front of the "reckless man". Then the sword was moved, two of Antony's cronies were killed on the spot, and the rest fled—and then the Tenth Legion Hula closed its camp on all sides and defended itself.

Subsequently, the Ninth Legion also occupied the barracks, and all the ballistas were outward, both against the city of Mutina, and at the location of Antony's camp, anyway, when Antony came out in the early hours of the morning with an incredible expression, he did see the cavalry of the Ninth Legion opposite, holding torches in unison, lined up two furlongs from the front of his camp, and the attitude was very unfriendly.

Anthony's sweat came down, he didn't expect the mutiny to happen at this critical moment, it seems that he is still too reckless in doing things, he should listen to Leo's little child, plus Curio is not around.

In a short time, 300 A-cavalry of the Tenth Legion also stepped out of their camp, and all of them surrounded Antony's tent, begging for an explanation, and vehemently asking him whether he had used the dead Caesar and the son of Lybidaeus to deceive the soldiers into serving him and killing himself with the young Caesar.

In the tent, Anthony bent his waist, waved his hand at Leo, and then threw him a short sword, "You are a good horseman, now look outside, there are fires and rebels who want to kill me everywhere, and I will immediately cover each other with you and rush out to the camp of the Fifth Legion." ”

"This is not the solution to the problem, and it will provoke even greater resentment among the soldiers, my father, Lord Anthony." Leo replied in a low voice.

Anthony had a "you looking for death" expression, but then Leo straightened up and walked out, several cronies centurion hurriedly followed him, Anthony scolded in his heart, and could only follow out.

On the high ground in front of the tent, Leo stood up, surrounded on all sides by dense cavalry and fluttering torches, "Soldiers, don't ignore my words because I am a young man, if you need an answer, it is that my father is indeed an ally of mutual assistance to Antony and Young Caesar, and their goal, you have no doubt at all, is to avenge Your Excellency the Dictator." Otherwise, why would my father's four legions march north in Italy? ”

After hearing Leo's words, everyone quieted down a little, and Anthony was also furious, it seemed that there was indeed some benefit to carrying this kid, but then many centurions questioned Anthony's attitude.

"My father, Antony, and my best friend Caesar, were separated by the Senate, and my father Antony had been declared by the public enemy of the Senate that he would use legions to attack him, and the Senate had pardoned Dehemoth, Caesar's number one murderer; On the other hand, the Senate used the seizure of the Young Caesar's family as a bargaining chip to force him to come and fight against us - so, if you want to say that the culprit is Qiē, it is the Senate, and it does not do the business of either Caesar or Antony. Leo spoke unusually calmly to everyone, and then he turned to Anthony, meaning to tell Anthony to speak.

But Anthony was bitter, and he could only pretend to be confused, "Yes, I just learned about it, otherwise how could I reward you for killing and wounding Young Caesar's troops?" Isn't it, otherwise my behavior like this will really be ruined, and I am just going to negotiate with the young Caesar team over there in the coming day! ”

While Antony was still trying to argue, Octavian over there was ready to storm, and this time he learned to be shrewd, and asked Meecenas, Agrippa and others to reconnoiter repeatedly, and marked all the ambush locations of Antony's cavalry, and then slowly drew an offensive route on the map table, facing the camp in the middle of Antony's outer position, and then Octavian also looked cautiously at the other generals, expressing his desire to consult their opinions before making a decision.
