However, Peternius's movement was still a little slower by half a beat—the Twelfth Legion and King Numa Legion, the vanguard of Lypida, had quickly rushed to the northern part of the fortress group of Ursau, and began to seize the key points, build blockades and ramparts, and about half a day later, Leus's infantry corps also arrived at the battle line.

A cavalry team sent by Little Thor, in the melee in the field, overwhelmingly crossed a reverse hillside, and then quickly and skillfully formed a surprise line, rushing towards the Li Bida infantry group at the bottom of the mountain.

The new infantry of the Leus regiment was extremely skillful, they knelt down with their spears in hand, and the people behind them directly regarded the front as a human fork frame, erected a pole of copper pipes, and in the deafening sound and flames, the Pompey cavalry that rushed to the front was like a collapsing wall, and shattered with a bang - the men and horses rolled and fell to the ground, and the rest of the men hurriedly turned around and ran, no longer having the courage to fight.

Three days later, Li Bida, who arrived at the front line of the siege, began to transfer troops to the fourteen legions, and besieged the city of Ursho for a long time, and Sexetus was really in a complete desperate situation - there were no available soldiers, and there was no possibility of foreign aid, and most of his two legions were composed of barbarian soldiers, and their morale and fighting spirit were rapidly dying, and no one was willing to fight and suffer for a battle with no future in sight, so the mistakes of Laus were repeated, and every night, there were a large number of soldiers who surrendered over the wall and gave up resistance.

Outside, the chiefs and bandit chieftains of all Spain and Lusitania began to swear allegiance in front of Lybida's tent, and Liberda, after comforting them, made a common demand. "After the fall of the Fortress of Ursho. It was there that the itinerant assembly of the whole Iberian circuit was held. Establishment of a new post-war order. ”

In the days that followed, deer, camps, and walls were erected, and Sektus's face became less and less emaciated: there was no hope of going out of the city to assault, and it was a dead end to be trapped. Li Bida did not take the attack lightly, because the high priest openly claimed that in such a certain situation, there was no need to sacrifice the lives of ordinary soldiers, and the army outside the city only strictly patrolled the sentry posts and laid a tight net. And every day the cavalry parade was carried out, and the city was patrolled in array shouting and demonstrating.

Lying on the marching bed, Sexetus was thoughtful, thinking about his father's fiasco, thinking about the explanation that Machius had given him earlier, and finally he gradually became disgusted with all that he had now, "I don't need to resist the coming of the new generation anymore, but I will not follow and submit to it, let the Pompey family disappear in this world"

After thinking about it, little Thor sat alone in the town hall. He filled the banquet with servants, though he was the only one left. But he still had the servants mark the seats and couches of the "others": Lipo, Cato the Younger, Father, Rabinus, Aphranius, Peletaeus, Laus, and Lelias, and he made up the number of "Muses" - nine.

Then he poured himself a drink, toasted to the air one by one, and finally got drunk, and went to the backyard, where under the dry sun and weather, there was a pile full of firewood, and the top was a corpse rack, "The great descendants of Hercules, the great Mercury descendants, the great Pompey family, and now I am the only one left, so I must bury myself." With that, Sektus staggered, holding the wax figures of his ancestors, and walked slowly to the cremation pile, and then, while he was drunk, lay down on the corpse stand, and the servants put on a mask and a vestment for him who was still alive, and then stuffed a coin into his mouth.

Presently, the weeping servants below lit the lowest pyre, and the flames slowly burned, and Secertus lay down like this, and slowly disappeared into the flames.

The fortress of Ursho was immediately surrendered, and although it cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, it did not play any role in defending the fortress in the unfavorable situation of the war, and it was destroyed with Sektus.

Later, Lipo on the island of Saxingius committed suicide, the remnants of his fleet surrendered, and all the resistance of the Pompeians was completely dispersed in the waters of Africa and Spain.

"Forget it, bury the two members of the Pompey family, along with the heads of Rabinus, Lelias, and Lipo, in the city of Ursho." Knowing the final fate, Li Bida sighed and gave the order, "There is no need to transport them back to Rome, I think that if His Excellency Caesar were still alive, he would do the same." ”

Then, with a large guard, he began to inspect the cities of the Spanish peninsula, starting at Lusitania, then on to Cadiz and Magala in the south, to Sagantan, and then to return to Rome in the area of Osetani.

He was going to inspect a hundred cities that had surrendered to him, but before he set out, several of his staff approached him and consulted him about something:

The twin legions of Tellureas, who had just arrived in the city of Megara in Sicily, and now that the young Pompey brothers were dead, did they need to go here again?

"Well, you now abide by the principle of secrecy, and give me two orders three days apart, one for the twins to arrive at Lilibal, and the other for them to return to the city of Megara to rest." Li Bida said this strange request calmly, and the clerical staff did not dare to ask anything, so they complied.

After giving this order, he went on his way, and about half a month later, when he arrived in Ga, Italy, he found Sabo's old mother, and personally received her to his place, and presented her with a full set of splendid furniture and tableware, as well as thirty servants and musicians, and four beautifully decorated shoulders, and a quiet villa, and said that these silver coins, worth one hundred thousand dinars, were all due to the noble woman, "because of the merits of your son, for whom he has always been by my side faithfully." ”

"If you really care about Sabo's exploits, you should give him back to me, and let my son be by my mother's side, I don't have many years to live." The old woman replied, and then she looked at the high priest, "These gifts mean nothing to me, and my favorite is the Celtic bench that you gave Sabo when he was a teenager and gave him money to buy me, which I still use, and sometimes human affection is not condensed in the icing on the cake." ”

In the face of the old woman's displeasure, the high priest also resigned, and promised that within a year he would call his son back, for it would be a hard time to send you to Fort Lybida, which is far away by sea. (To be continued......)
