The Council of Three Hundred Presbyterians of Tapsus never understood that they had done everything they had done in their agreement to betray Caesar: the envoys were sent in batches, the letters were written in secret, and from the fact that they had achieved their goal, why did Caesar know about it before Pompey seemed to know? Originally, according to the prediction of the Presbyterian Church of Tapsus, the "unprepared" Caesar would first panic for a few days when he was attacked by the enemy on his back, and then Pompey sent an elite legion, or even six brigades, to break through Caesar's camp and come to his own city to assist in the defense, and cooperate with the three thousand volunteers mobilized in the city to stab Caesar in the back and outflank Caesar's troops who had lost food supplies in the area between Ruspina and Lesptis.

But Caesar was like a ghost, when the envoys of Tapsus had just arrived at Pompey's camp and when the city had just raised its flag, Caesar had abandoned his existing position and came straight to his own city with three legions! And the fleet on the island of Kirki was not even a day away from Caesar's land forces, as if they had a tacit understanding in advance.

In the end, it was not Caesar who was caught off guard, but Pompey and the rebellious city!

This is Li Pida's wrist, after he obtained information from Reginus's mouth, he immediately hit the time gap, before Tapsus learned that Reginus was captured, he forged Pompey's document to tell Tapsus to defect in advance, not to give Pompey there a time slot to examine and ponder, and then carried the three legions on the fleet at sea in advance, as a reserve in Caesar's hands.

In the evening, after the twelfth, fifth, and fifteenth legions had come ashore, Caesar gave the order in a hurry. "Only you don't rest. The other party will not be able to rest. The Pompeys had already exhausted themselves in the day's fighting, barracks, and marches, and you had just disembarked, and though you were tired, seasick, and vomiting, you could not care so much - so give me all the battle, at once! Caesar then divided the five legions into two divisions, the left and right, and adopted the "Thebes slash" deployment, with the three newly arrived legions on the right flank. Two legions were arranged on the left flank, with the former protruding and the latter rear, leaving the XIII Corps and the fleet to surround Tapsus.

In other words, Caesar chose to fight immediately.

Pompey panicked.

At this moment, at the foot of Ruspina, Antony sneered as he watched Condisius instruct his men to build the walls of the siege, and then asked the ballista and the centurion on duty not to let go, and then he walked down the tower of the wall and inspected the busy warehouse. Then they saw the two legions, many soldiers sitting under the colonnade of the market, begging the clerk to write letters for them. Anthony was surprised. Leo also sat quietly behind the small table there, working on the swords of the big-headed soldiers, and gradually as he wrote quickly and clearly, more and more soldiers gathered around him.

Leo would listen to all the words that the soldier had to say before writing, then write them in the most concise language, and then summon the next one, and his hair was dyed a faint amber in the setting sun, as if he were taking care of the most sacred matter.

"It is strange that Turinus went with your father, and lived in a tent, like his own soldiers, while you came here to work as a clerk. You must know that my two legions here are weak, and if we are all defeated on the battlefield, we will not be able to go back. Anthony walked up to Leo and said in a frightened tone.

But Leo looked up at him, and smiled shyly, and said that men should obey the orders of fate, and then went about his business again, and in a short time he had finished all the letters of the soldiers, and then he got up, and sat down against the pillars, and took out from the box another scroll of papyrus, on which he wrote in detail, and which appeared to be his own letters.

"For whom?" Anthony was still curious.

"For the two mama, and for Turinus's sister, because she asked me to stay with Turinus, but now it seems that I didn't do this well, so I have to write an apology." Little Leo quickly wrote for a while, then put down his pen and said to Anthony, "You don't have to worry about me, you should take care of your position, and everyone can do their part in order to achieve the final victory." ”

This was choked by the young man, but Anthony was not angry, and felt that there seemed to be nothing angry about Leo in front of him, so he just shrugged his shoulders and turned away.

Leo wrote on the papyrus, "Octavia, I must apologize to you, Turinus is now in the barracks, and we are in a desert that is boundless, and the soldiers say that even the crows fly over here must bring their own rations, and I feel that anyone who participates in the war, who starts the war, is dangerous, and whoever joins the war is respectable, and I help the soldiers to write their letters, because I feel that Turinus cannot help these people, but that such an act is more meaningful. Let their families on the other side of the ocean feel the pulse of their loved ones. Greetings to Ann, Leo, and Turinus. When he had finished writing, Leo rubbed his tired eyes a little, and then placed the letter neatly in the box, and then carefully arranged the pen and other tools in it, and then he stood up, and heard the roar and trumpets in the distance.

Under the city of Tapsus, Aquila and Adangis' fleet were the first to shoot flint bullets at the city's docks and breakwaters, signaling the beginning of the decisive battle.

At the sound of a trumpet, the oarsmen and boatmen of Adanjis, in small boats, occupied the semicircular breakwater of the city of Tapsus, and then laid the round logs on both sides, and then the rowboats were pulled down the logs into the inner bay, and then the boats pulled the larger rowing boats with decks. With each ship, Aquila and Aydangis added taller towers, which allowed the ballistas to be thrown farther, and after occupying the inner bay, the towers of Tapsus were crushed due to the shortening of the firing distance and the great power of the salvo of stone and buckshot.

At this moment, Caesar's commander's tent also raised his red cloak, and all the leading soldiers of the legion shouted, especially the Fifth Lark's Legion, whose exaggerated feathers swayed and struck their shields as violently as the Celts. Pompey was in a state of panic, and Rabinus ran out of the camp in an attempt to urgently shift the fortifications into battle mode, but this led to confusion among the soldiers, some of whom were in and out of the camp gates, some of whom were running around, and some of whom remained in place and did not know what to do.

At this moment, a trumpeter at the forefront of Caesar's fifteenth legion on the right flank, under the urging of the chief centurion Polo, said, "Blow quickly, if you don't blow it again, it will be dark!" And a "beep" blew out, and thousands of soldiers, before they could get Caesar's order, howled and rushed forward! (To be continued......)
