"Hey, Lord Liberdaus." In the camp, the officers and soldiers of the 12th Army Corps, who had obtained valuable supplies, saw Li Bida wearing an ochre-red robe and golden armor, so they put down their barbecue forks and saluted him one by one.

Li Bida smiled and walked through the crowd, and then entered the commander's tent, where Sabo and Tagus stood straight, "How, the soldiers are all very good now, it seems that without supplies, even if the god of war is here, it will not be able to fight." By the way, how is the execution of the order I gave Saab? ”

Sabo, who had been shuttling back and forth between the camp and Mount Viai several times, was dark-skinned, but his clothes were still neat, and he had been dusting up before Li Bida came in, so he replied that the wild donkey stone throwers on Mount Viai continued to shoot fiercely at the barbarian crossing points under the "eyes of Juditya", and from night to morning, they had now focused on the bridge and the boat, and had made a lot of gains.

"Are there any difficulties?"

"The only thing that worries me is that there are not enough stone bullets." "Once this thing is exhausted, the blockade of the river crossing will be greatly inefficient." ”

"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Governor has brought not only beer and fat, but also a thousand stone bullets, and let the army of slaves transport them immediately." Seeing that Sabo had not left the camp and went to assist the commander on the mountain, Milu, Li Bida asked curiously what else was going on.

"Well, the last time His Excellency the Commander asked me about the plan for the second cavalry artillery, I have already written the first draft, and please take the time to take a look." After Saab Kemus finished speaking, he took out a roll of vellum paper and respectfully handed it to Li Bida. Then he bowed and left.

After spreading Saab's calf paper on the tabletop. Li Bida began to read carefully. Saab's cavalry artillery accompanied the pursuit plan in such a way that the regulations were not changed, and continued to use the improved Celtic four-wheeled chariot as the traction, and followed the infantry brigade to move together, Saab's envisaged reform had two points: one was to divide the cavalry artillery into two echelons in the pursuit operation, separated by a certain distance, and when the first echelon began to shoot at the enemy's rearguard cavalry, the second echelon continued to arrive. If the first echelon drove away from the enemy's cavalry, the second echelon crossed the position of the first echelon, continued to advance for some distance, and then moved into a state of readiness to fire, so as not to give the Helvetians the opportunity to regroup; The second point is to improve the establishment of artillery detachments, and try to set up a baggage detachment for artillery detachments, so that a group of military slaves can be promoted as members of the detachment to be specially responsible for providing pack horses, grain, and ammunition transportation for cavalry artillery, so that the cavalry artillery can continue to be accelerated, and the artillery bearers and baggage personnel can be separated. This allows the gunners to concentrate on honing their marksmanship and avoiding the phenomenon that they thought they were afraid of hardship and tiredness and went on strike.

Other than that. Sabo wrote separately on the vellum that the communication and accuracy of the artillery should continue to be improved, and that in the Battle of Mount Vitae, the cavalry artillery did not react very quickly, and the reason why it dealt a big blow to the barbarians was mainly due to the fact that the barbarians were too densely formed.

Saab made a lot of sense, and Li Bida fully accepted his plan, but these improvements could not be done overnight in this era, and it was better to take your time in Caesar's war against the Gallic tribes.

Just as Li Bida was thinking about things, Tagus suddenly stepped forward to stop the panting herald who had entered, "The Gunirin people have re-attacked!" Facing the position at the foot of the mountain. ”

"These barbarians are insane, and it seems that they are ready to sacrifice themselves to buy time for the rest of the Helvetians to cross the river." Li Bida hurriedly stood up, and was about to run towards the position of Little Hortensius, and Tagus reminded him at this time, should he send a token officer to let the Milu tribe of Weiai Mountain rush down and attack the Gunirin people?

"No, no, don't act rashly, maybe the Gunirin people are feints at the foot of the mountain, and there are ambushes waiting for an opportunity to attack the hilltop position? Let the four brigades left behind in the camp pull out two of them to run with me and enter the position at the foot of the mountain, relying on the fortifications, we can completely repel the Gunirins! Li Bida said and put his helmet on his head, and Tagus ran out of the city after the commander.

At the foot of Mount Viai, the trumpeters of the Gunirin stood in a column, blowing the bronze horse-head horn in their mouths to the earth, and beside them, the barbarian horseback warriors attacked frantically again, they uniformly hung their shields in their left hands to defend against the slings and javelins from the top of the Viai Mountain, and held swords and cavalry spears in their right hands, as if they were in the sea, and the target was directly at the foot of the mountain.

By this time, Hortensius Jr. had already strengthened the wooden fence and erected a high watchtower on the position for people to observe the enemy's formation and correct the fire of the cavalry artillery. Just as the barbarian cavalry advanced to a distance of eight hundred Roman feet from the position, three groups of artillery began to shoot, at first sparse and sparse, and slowly became dense, but the running gunilyn cavalry looked at death, some of their heads were cut off by the flying stone projectiles, some were pierced by javelins, stabbed from the saddle, and rolled down under the hooves of the horses that followed, but the rest of the cavalry only adjusted their direction slightly, and soon regrouped together, and rushed into a distance of three hundred Roman feet, The spikes and flag bearers on the watchtower gave a signal: the firing targets of the cavalry cannons began to turn to the rear of the barbarians, and the second line of defense, twenty or thirty light scorpion crossbows set up on the mound, suddenly shot out a horizontal row of short iron spears, cutting across the flesh and blood of the high-speed moving Gunirin men and horses, causing a terrible shooting effect, but the shooting of the scorpion crossbow did not last long, and soon the Gunnilin vanguard warriors began to jump off their horses, together with the lightly armed elite infantry who had been accompanying them in the sprint, Sharply slashed into the position held by Hortensius the Younger, and the infantry brigades of the two Twelfth Corps, along the line of wooden fences and trenches, entered into a close encounter.

"Officer, should we go down the mountain to support?" On Mount Viai, the thousand-man brigade had already lined up in three horizontal formations, and a trumpeter under the Iron Hand asked the chief centurion next to him, Milou, very nervously, and just when Milu was noncommittal, Saab Kemus galloped from the passage on the other side of the mountain, shouting, "Until we receive further orders, we will hold this place and do not move!" ”

Milou shrugged his shoulders and pointed in the direction of the mountain, meaning to tell Sabo to see, along the entire wasteland on the inner side of Mount Viai, the Gunilin attack troops were running, not only thousands of vanguard cavalry, but also tens of thousands of foot troops, all braving the "whistling death shots" of cavalry cannons, rushing forward one after another.

Before crossing the river, two of the four boat bridges had been smashed, and the gentle surface of the Ara River was covered with swollen corpses of men and horses, as well as the wreckage of smashed boats and boats, and more than 200,000 Helvetians who had crossed the river wriggled expressionlessly in the direction of Santoni in the distance on the other side.
