That's fine, too!

Li Pida's plan was as follows: the infantry, under the cover of the auxiliary brigade and cavalry artillery, built a barrier under the dry riverbed of the Nameless Mountain, and pinned down the Garamansians who were monitoring the front, and then the two old partners, Antony and Dussonvier, once again led a thousand Vebichinas cavalry to make a long detour and raid the enemy's lair - "Find some Essions as guides, many of their people have been taken captive to serve as miners and farm slaves, as long as we enter the kingdom of Garamantheus, we can show our strength and liberate the enslaved Essions." , destroy each other's crops and villages, ravage, destroy! —In this way, the enemy army is in an awkward position, and if they let it go, Antony will destroy it to the fullest, and then turn back and cut off their way back; If they return to the rescue, I will lead the main force out of the base in pursuit, and strive to encircle and annihilate the opponent in a certain favorable terrain.

Peternius and the others thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the commander-in-chief's plan, so they collectively nodded in agreement.

The next day, the Romans began to dig trenches and build fortifications opposite the army of the Garamantheus, and the Garamanthees were fooled, and they also set up camp with chariots and wagons, first digging shallow slopes around the camp, and then advancing towards the wagons, burying the wheels, tying stones, and erecting leather tents on the wagons to prevent sneak attacks and arson.

After nightfall, Li Bida was very excited to let Anthony quietly march with the cavalry, and he really didn't know it.

But at noon the next day, Antony returned with all his cavalry exhausted, much to the disappointment of Lypida, "These Gauls. All of them showed symptoms of heat stroke on the way to the attack. And I couldn't find any water in the ten Romes around. The situation was much worse than it had been at the nostrils of the Taifeng Evil God, and my instincts, as a descendant of Anton, told me that I had to withdraw the team before it collapsed automatically. ”

Li Bida had a colorless face, but he also felt that Antony's caution was justified, and now these Vibichinans ran out of the hall in vain, and these body hair and nostrils from the Gallic region could not stand the scorching heat of the desert in this hot summer season, and many people began to vomit in the camp. The witch doctor from Egypt who accompanied the team was helpless, so he could only secretly tell Li Bida and persuade him to send these people out of the river before the disease spreads.

"Don't even want to touch my soldiers!" Junisonville has not yet taken a stand, Marco. Anthony grabbed the witch doctor by the collar first. Angrily shouted, "If you can't heal the deed." Then find someone who can cure you, and if you can't find it, you will be thrown into the desert where no one is there. ”

In the end, it was the natives brought by Arp to solve the problem, the other party was the Nasmones, greedy for money and goods to follow Li Bida's expeditionary force as a baggage officer, he proposed the method, is the "locust milkshake", it is said that this is the magic weapon of the Nasmones people to survive in the harsh hot environment, after the goat's milk is added to the locust powder, it can immediately vent the evil qi in the abdomen and chest when drunk.

"Sabo, isn't there a lot of goats in the gifts that the Great Chief Herton has given us? What about locusts! Li Bida hurriedly asked, he was a little panicked, because he was very disgusted with those disgusting locusts before, and was afraid that the people below would follow them—but Sabokimus nodded, and said that the Great Chief had also sent a lot of dried locusts from the jar, and many people had advised me to throw them away, but I thought to myself that after crossing this desert, anything could happen, and it might come in handy to keep it.

Now Li Bida wanted to rush down, hugging and kissing with the lovely staff officer Sabo, after arranging the alert mission, the soldiers began to drink the locust milkshake in an orderly manner, not to mention, although this thing looked more disgusting, but after drinking it, it was really exhausted because of the scorching heat, and after two or three days, the Vibichina people slowly had an appetite, and their bodies gradually recovered.

The native of Nasmonez, who provided the formula, was developed, and Li Bida immediately rewarded him with a silver of Talant, and then he hurriedly summoned the general, "The method of cavalry rushing is no longer possible, and our supply is also difficult, and the best way now is to storm the enemy's chariot camp head-on, drive them away from here, and then pursue, or to lead the war to the enemy's country, to feed the war with war." ”

So the Romans decided to use the "bellows cannon", "cavalry cannon", "scorpion crossbow" multiple fire assault method, Saab immediately formulated a detailed plan, and then the army was arranged layer by layer.

After nightfall, the whole camp was busy, Li Bida, accompanied by many retinues, came to the square tent in the deep recess of the camp, this camp tent was very well guarded, in fact, a square deep pit, surrounded by a trench, filled with sand (this is the most accessible resource in the local area), it was a protective ditch to keep out the flames, Sabo jumped into it three times and two times, and violently opened the tent, and inside were six things of wonderful workmanship.

But all the generals were carrying candles with glass covers, as if they were immune to the commander-in-chief who liked whimsy, Li Bida beckoned on it, Sabo and several soldiers carried one of them up, this is a bronze cast round jar, on top is a copper pipe head, and there is a piston-like push-pull device behind it, which seems to be a "silly little black thick" style in the craftsmanship of the Roman world, and many generals have guessed accurately at that time, this is a "mini version" of the bellows cannon.

Sabo and two soldiers placed the small jar on the ground, and then pumped it with a piston, and the Miti oil contained in it splashed on a wooden target about fifteen Roman feet away, and then Apple's light a rocket and flew an arrow at the target, and the wooden target immediately burst into flames.

"This small bellows cannon, now six have been made, and they will be used with other firepower for the time being." After Li Bida finished instructing, in the surprised eyes of everyone, there were tears in his heart - in fact, the principle of this thing, in his time, as long as the child who could play with the water gun understood, but he replaced the water with rice oil that can burn violently, and in order to enhance the adhesion, a small amount of asphalt and resin was mixed in it, but Li Bida could not do continuous spontaneous combustion injection, it was very simple that there was no fixed ignition, or to say directly, now make saltpeter, with sulfur, It is best to make charcoal powder into simple black powder as a propellant, but saltpeter has not yet appeared in Europe! I can only make the troublesome procedure of spraying the liquid first and then igniting it with a rocket, so I have no choice but to do it. (To be continued......)
