Chapter 17: The Nostrils of the Taifeng Evil God (Part II)

"That's right." Anthony then raised his hand, and the flag officer next to him was stunned, and then began to raise the flag, and all the cavalry dismounted when they saw this, because it was a signal that the commander asked them to check their equipment before going to battle, and the soldiers all the water bladders on their pack horses were fed for their mounts, and then checked the state of their spears, shields, and swords.

"I have to ask again, what are you doing here!"

Anthony didn't seem to hear Sabo's complaints, and loudly asked the soldiers to tie their armor neatly and tightly, and to carry a water bladder to fill the Akrigma swamp with water, "Although this water tastes poor, it is enough to support us for a long journey, cheer up, and go!" ”

What, Marco. Anthony actually wanted to take these hundred cavalrymen to cross the path between the two nostrils of the Taifeng evil god to raid Perusim's rear?

But Anthony's expression didn't look like he was joking with Sabo at all, and after putting on his black and white bear hair helmet, he made a second gesture to Sabo, "Send ten cavalry to you, quickly return to Edom, and tell Lybidaeus that I will open the way ahead, and the next day I will tell him to follow me with the most elite main force." ”

The night breeze came, the sunset on the edge of the desert was like a fire, the black shadows quickly covered the swamps on both sides, in the terrifying mud, crocodiles and poisonous lizards crawled around, the sound of the wind was like a ghost horn, all the soldiers of the attached cavalry brigade silently lit the torches in each other's hands, and then straightened the saddle, stepped on the horses and lined up in formation, Anthony slowly raised his sword, jolted to the far right of the line, and then stretched out his head to correct the line of charge. "Turn a horizontal column into a column!" Flag Bearer with Anthony. Carrying a banner with a portrait of King Numa. At the head of the column, he walked along the narrow path between the two swamps.

"Let's go too!" With a resolute expression, Sabo turned on his horse and galloped in the opposite direction with ten cavalrymen.

"What about Junisonviller, Saab and Anthony?" At this time, when the first outpost was just held, Li Bida and his generals supervised the soldiers on duty, and then the guards rang the small bell at the wooden tower at the main entrance. Dussonvier ran back to the camp with the main scouts and dismounted in front of the second inner trench, where several cartographers handed the topographical map of the fortress of Perusim to the commander-in-chief, and then Libida looked at Dussonvier and asked.

After explaining in broken and simple Latin, Petnieus asked, "Wait, wait for Antony and Saab to come back, or any of them, but only the next morning, for it would be longer." There is less luck in the ferocity, and this sea of death sand always gives people so little time to answer. After Li Bida said this. Silence.

He unfolded the scroll of the fortress of Perusim, and to his surprise, this huge fortress was located on the sand between the swamp and the sea, and the entire front wall was arranged in a zigzag manner, with countless hidden openings for counterattacks, and an independent eye fort for archers to shoot at, although there were not many men and horses stationed in the garrison, but with the favorable terrain, the strong city defense, and the only source of water (which should be located in the strongest core of the fortress), not to mention their six thousand, that is, sixty thousand, it was also a great difficulty to conquer.

But since it has reached this point, there is no turning back, and the truth of wealth and danger is unbreakable, "The whole army set off at the fourth sentry, and the cavalry brigade attached to it, and the thousand-man brigade with the twelve legions were under my personal command and walked in the forefront; Hybrida with a thousand-man brigade of the Thirteenth Legion, two archery brigades, all cavalry artillery, and five infantry brigades, followed behind; The chief lieutenant general, Petronius, led the rest of the infantry brigade to stay in the camp east of Eeast, and allocated all the camels to resupply the front line with all his strength when the battle began.

After arranging, Li Bida jumped over the trench of the barracks and stood there, like a thin silhouette in the starry sky, waiting for Saab or Anthony to return, he believed that Saab Khamus, since he was willing to follow Anthony, it must have found a new route of attack.

In the torches of the barracks, Hybrida shouted and scolded the recruits in a rough voice, and as soon as possible along the main entrance and the central axis of the camp to shoot the formation of the sortie, "The marching and battle orders are 'Bastai' (Egyptian cat god), don't grind, carry those locks and draped well, don't be too hot and heavy, they can save the life of one of your dogs in the desert." ”

When all the soldiers had endured the scorching heat and had taken their gear and lined up, Hebrida turned to see Li Bida outside the boundary of the trench, where he was still standing dumbfounded, and shook his head and stood in the position of chief centurion, standing still, waiting for the order to rise.

The night in the desert was very short, and the sky began to light up at about the third sentry, and soon after the trumpet sounded, Li Bida turned around and stood on the side of the main gate, and when Tagus was fully dressed and stood at the front of the Twelve Legions and ran out of the main gate, Li Bida shouted side by side with him, "Don't let me wait in the sea of sand!" ”

"Bazz Bless You!" All the soldiers shouted one after another, and walked out of the gate of the camp, and among the blue sky and yellow sand, the gray figures of men and horses lined up in a black and turbulent river, and ran straight in the direction of the fortress of Perusim.

After just ten miles out of Rome, when the team stopped to drink and recuperate, Li Bida took advantage of the wind and told his men to put up the ochre-painted "eyes of Juditia" in the direction of the east, which was the message for Peternius' logistical escort to set off.

At this time, a group of people and horses slowly walked out of the back of the dune, the face of the leader was dark, and the eyes were already scattered, and the rest of the people who followed behind were not much better, completely relying on inertia to pull the reins to prevent themselves from falling off the horse's back, "Saab - Sabo!" Li Bida rushed to the front of the group, held his helmet, and then waved his arm at Sabo.

Sabo, with white and gray lips, also smiled hard at Li Bida, because this nerve movement would tear at various organs in his body, and then he felt that he could not hold on any longer, so he fiercely tied himself to the neck of the horse with the reins, and then fell into the saddle, and the mount carried him, and ran towards Li Bida's beautiful white mare.

"Two swamps, between the nostrils of the Taifeng Evil God...... There is a detour back to Perusim, this is the road map" Saab handed a sketch into the hands of Li Pida, "Antony has already gone with a hundred cavalry. ”

When the servants lifted Sabo and the others off the horse to help, Li Bida hurriedly asked Tagus to blow the whistle, "All the horses in the front team, change the route, follow me!" Leave everything to Hebrida, telling him that once he reaches the city of Perusim, he will build the siege camp without any delay. (To be continued......)
