Galius's decisiveness, so that the soldiers' surprise attack achieved a surprise effect, the city because of the outside Li Bida's three-way attack momentum to suppress, so the lack of sufficient manpower protection for this "cecum", just in the wind and rain for a period of time, there are more than 100 leather shield soldiers regardless of fatigue climbed up, occupying a corner of the city wall, "Give me to continue to go up, if you can't raise the shield in your hand, then go up with a short sword or dagger, in short, give me a non-stop attack!" The centurions stood by the improvised "ladder" and viciously "carried" one of their subordinates upwards, agitating.

After a while, as the rain thinned out, the reacting defenders began to draw out their men and horses to squeeze and counterattack the 27th Legion men who had climbed to the corner, but Galius himself stood with his soldiers, shouting shields to protect all his comrades, and the rest bravely stabbed with swords or threw javelins to kill those who dared to approach along the battlements. In addition, they also launched a flag message to Li Bida's headquarters on the high slope.

At this time, in the front, the military slaves in the rear, and the vanguard of the Sixth Army also arrived, and the two "Marcelian Noblewoman" cannons had been assembled, which took forty pack horses to be disassembled and transported, and a skilled artillery detachment was also strengthened, and they quickly installed the "ghost animal bullet" of the iron-clad wooden bar, and the torque was corrected, and they came to a "parallel bar out of the water" very neatly, and suddenly smashed the tower of the city gate, with a string of defenders' head gourds, and the sound was like thunder.

When the other party was shocked, Li Bida pointed the baton. Pompey and a tough centurion, with dozens of men, bravely crowded at the city gate, densely erecting heavy javelins and auxiliary spears, ready to resist the opponent's strong penetration, while the Medejie guards were very nimble to avoid the sparse arrows on the tower, and formed two long wings to hold the city gate hostage. Shoot arrows into it like a cannon. The screams of the defenders of the city gate erupted, and clusters of arrows often pierced through a man's throat and arm, and pierced into the eyes and necks of those who were close by, and the blood bloomed like a flower in the May field.

At last. A wooden pole sent by a "noblewoman". Straight through the passage between the two wings of your own Madjet Guard. It churned on the ground, then crashed into the phalanx of the defenders of the city gate, instantly splintering intestines, broken limbs, and fragments of broken javelin shields. Like a fountain, it flew past the city gate, spilling blood all over the streets and arcades.

These people didn't even have a chance to retreat, so they were instantly destroyed into powder, and all the dead and wounded were pillowed together, so that Li Bida's department, who rushed into the city gate, stepped on slippery flesh and blood to enter.

"No, Corribella!" When the "little Thor" Sextus screamed and woke up from the saddle "pillow" in the puddle, the sound around them was heavy, and they were constantly pursued and oppressed by Caesar, and this time they were forced to camp in a low-lying area, and the cavalry could not go out to gather and obtain forage, and most of the pack horses were killed and disposed of, and a lot of baggage was lost. The soldiers were even more tired to death, and the cavalry beside him, lying on horseback or saddle, slept backwards in the rain, motionless like corpses. The infantrymen took refuge under trees or mounds to avoid the rain, resting their heavy and hard wheat bags on the ground, and the green smoke from the fire was like a wave, causing heart-rending coughing everywhere.

Sexetus had a blue face, and even in this damp environment, his cheeks were still a daunting red, and when he walked to the camp of Aphranius and Peletaeus, he asked directly: "Two commanders, I would like to ask whether our army notified the people of the cities of Corriberia and Tarraco in advance when they retreated?" ”

"Don't worry," replied Pelettaus, respectfully, "there are three brigades in the city of Corriberia guarding the stone bridge, and I have ordered the city of Taraco, farther away, to send men to erect a pontoon bridge further downstream, just in case." ”

This answer slightly calmed down the little Thor, and the Caesar Movement over there according to common sense, although it has occupied the central transportation hub of Corduba, it will not come so quickly, right? But a strong fear stirred up in his heart, and he said to Aphranius: "Blow your trumpet, and I will go ahead with a thousand horsemen, and first take the city of Corriberia." ”

The other side said that it was difficult, because the whole army had just finished a fierce rearguard battle and a long march and was in full rest, "It is all exhausted soldiers and horses, what can you expect them to do?" But Sektus was still stubborn and irritable, "I don't trust any ready-made characters and battle plans right now, I'm worried about the fall of the city of Corribella, which will give the enemy an advantage, and we have no way out, so I'm going to take people there now, this is a matter of life and death for the five legions, and it must be done now!" ”

In desperation, Aphranius had no choice but to agree to this plan, but the Allied infantry and many legionnaires refused to continue the battle, even if they were lying in the rain and unwilling to carry out the duty of duty.

After finally gathering a thousand men, Corribella's distress token officer arrived, "A large number of enemies poured out from all over the city, storming the city, and they were very arrogant. ”

"I know the bastards, bastards!" Sektus cursed, not knowing whether the "bastards" in his mouth were scolding Li Bida or his own commanders who were negligent in their duties, but he didn't have time to explain, so he jumped on his horse angrily with his tomahawk, and although the little red horse had not been well rested, he still mustered up his spirit and carried his master into the rain, because he vaguely understood that he was now facing an urgent state of affairs.

Just as Sektus was advancing, Li Bida's 27th Army Corps had already occupied the ferry city, and then the artillery detachment did not have time to rest, so they dismantled the noblewoman's cannon, carried it on a pack horse to the high post of the stone bridge in the middle of the city, quickly assembled it, and then temporarily called someone to dig a trench by the city wall, to completely seal the stone bridge, so that the other party could not cross it.

At the city gate, Li Bida, who came in on horseback and stepped on the corpse, suddenly pointed to Cambano beside him and ordered, "You immediately take five hundred cavalry, follow the Epollo River in the direction of Taraco, search forward for thirty Roman miles, and if you encounter a large army of enemies, report back, and kill all of them if you encounter a small group of men and horses!" ”

"Haha, this kind of task is simply too easy, brothers are still far behind us when we show our might!" Combano drank heavily, and immediately galloped away with hundreds of good habitual bandits in the direction indicated by Li Bida. (To be continued......)
