Then it was Vicintoli's turn to be amazed, and when he looked at the whole burning, and everywhere there were slain corpses, cattle and living people taken away, he finally smiled and expressed his gratitude to the Doge for his kindness, "From now on, as Marcellia did to Pompey, my Alveni tribe is also your lord's Creon." ”

"Don't dare to be." Li Bida smiled meaningfully, and then continued to woo enthusiastically, "Actually, when I was fighting against the Sewefers in Gaul before, I captured their princess, a girl named Ploch, and now she is in foster care in Milan My wife, she must have grown up and received a higher education. Why, I heard that you Gallic nobles like to do two things the most, one is to enter the Senate of the Republic, and the other is to marry a Germanic woman. ”

I don't know if it is simply the meaning of this strange governor, or Caesar's instructions, just when Viccintoli hesitated, Li Bida continued: "Caesar has passed the bill in the city of Rome to continue to guarantee the granting of citizenship throughout Gaul, so you and I have no difference in status, we are both one citizen, and your two wishes will soon be fulfilled, but the premise is to continue to cooperate with Caesar sincerely to achieve a win-win situation." ”

"The most immediate victory is that since all Gaul has been granted citizenship, the tradition of the Rubicon as the frontier of the republic has been shattered, right, or rather, Caesar's treason for crossing it before is eliminated." Viccintoli said.

Li Bida laughed and said that you are really the smartest nobleman in all Gaul, and I absolutely believe in my own vision. The Alveni tribe will surely flourish under your leadership—don't you think?

The other party did not give a very clear answer. Just pointed to the fortress of the Albisis on Mount Archen. "Most of our troops are cavalry, since they have swept their villages like lightning, is it a little difficult to capture this castle on the cliff below?"

But the next move once again verified Li Bida's cunning - three days later, the 15th and 16th Army Corps actually hurried with flags and signs, and carried a large number of wood and equipment. Originally. Li Bida had already made arrangements, these two main legions were just a trick for him to confuse Dumijus, and soon after he left with the cavalry, the six legions that were originally in Monoico were dispatched in a hurry, and soon replaced these two legions and served as the guard of the blockade line.

Now that the elite infantry of the brigade has arrived, the fate of the only 1,000 or so Albissi people left on this mountain cliff is doomed. All the soldiers skillfully erected a siege tower tens of Roman feet high, which was divided into three tiers. There are stairways for personnel to enter and exit, as well as window windows for shooting and sorties. The first level is a bronze ram sticking out, the second is a perforation with bellows cannons, and the third is a wheeled cart for soldiers and slaves.

The rest of the soldiers below raised their shields to form a sea of arrows and rocks, escorting the monster siege towers to rumble close to the section of the cliff, and on the ladders and eye forts set up in the sky, the Albisians shouted desperately, and the remaining men threw javelins at this "monster" with shields and animal skins and wheels, which represented their last indomitable spirit. But tactically useless and miserable, their rudimentary weapons simply could not inflict damage on the other side - inside the siege tower, the Nubian black archers, one after another, opened the windows, swishing and shooting poisonous snake-like arrows, and on the cliffs there were constantly screaming and falling figures of Albisi barbarians who were hit by arrows, and when they got closer, the pipes of the bellows guns also poked out of the holes one by one, spitting out bridge-like fireworks, and burning the remnants of the Albysis hiding in the Eye Fort to charcoal.

Finally, when the Nubian archers on the tower forced back the defenders behind the wooden wall on the cliff, the people inside urged the ramming rod, and after a loud sound, the wooden wall was completely knocked down - and then the Roman soldiers rushed out one by one, under the cover of their shields, stepping on the flying ladders that were shot out.

In the midst of the smoke and fire, Vicintoli looked at this miserable and asymmetrical scene, and thought to himself, this is not a war, but a standard slaughter, why? Li Bida dealt with such a small mountain fort, and he wanted to mobilize the people so much, and the means were cruel!

"For I want to show the bloodshed of this war to all the tribes of Aquinoa and Old Gaul, to prevent a repetition of the foolish mistakes of Massella, and sometimes to the less powerful but more stupid and bloody ones, sword and fire will make them understand that it is a good thing to live and die. Because in the face of my well-trained, well-equipped, and technologically advanced legions, the greater the courage and cunning, the more miserable the end will be—Vicintoli, don't condemn this cruelty, for I am a peace-loving man, and to kill some people is to live in peace with more people, right? With that, Vicintoli saw the "peace-loving" governor of Sardinia, surrounded by a crowd of obedient people, blowing his trumpet, galloping in the direction of Massella.

In just four or five days, the governor exterminated a tribe completely, seized their land, gave it to himself, and killed thousands of tribesmen, most of them old men, women, children, and children were all sold into slavery, and all their cattle were taken away, except for the ten thousand Albisi who had promised to fight for Massella, all the others were destroyed, and these people, who were also sent to another "place of death" under the strategy of the governor as a store to consume the food in the city. Seeing the tribe being wiped out, and his wife and children being killed and sold, he couldn't do anything about it, and he had to wait for a more decisive destruction, the cruelty of this method was simply outrageous.

But it was not until he returned to the blockade with two triumphant legions that he asked Arp to shoot the documents with the information tied to them into the city with arrows, and then all the Qiē in the city of Massella were in chaos: the Albissi men, who were so angry that their eyes were bloodshot, poured enough violent alcohol, drew their swords and shields, and gathered together, or shouted and cursed, or hugged their heads and cried, and there was only one thing left in their lives now, and that was revenge.

Dumijus and the Council of Elders of the city were not able to restrain them at all, and the exile who was entrusted by the Council of Elders as the commander of the army, and also the murderer of Claudius who killed the tribune before, also took the initiative to ask for help, asking to take the Albysi army to open a gap in the blockade line, "At this rate, the grain in the city could have been able to support more than a year, but now it is difficult to continue in about three months, no matter what, it will be consumed, not food, then it will be consumed!" This is Triali's naked-boiled remark to Dumijus. (To be continued......)
