The sergeants in front were the fastest runners, lifting many of the corpses around them, and then pouring sand into the still burning trenches to extinguish the fire, paving the way for their own legion's attack. At the back of the legion's ranks were the new light infantry of the "Legion of Leus" armed with round shields and long swords, all armed with the fine armor forged by Adiana from the kingdom of Colchis or brought in craftsmen, equipped with sharp swords that were easy to stab, and were responsible for raiding and assaulting the intervals and flanks of the array, and now their task was to reap - draw their swords and stab them to death one by one the seriously wounded enemies who were still groaning.

Libida's servants led the high priest and his mount to the most central part of the hill, where they found the enemy's fallen flag, and the dead bodies of the dead pillows formed a hill, and Rabinus, who had been wounded by terror, spread his legs and sat down covered in blood, leaning against them, with his eyes on his cheeks, but he still threw his head up, panting slightly, wondering if he could still see the victor on horseback, looking at him condescendingly.

"Rabinus, can you still hear me?" Li Bida asked loudly.

Then, Rabinus nodded, as if he had been looking forward to Li Bida for a long time, and slowly grabbed the broken saber and showed it to Li Bida.

"You're thirsting for death, aren't you, you don't want to fight anymore, aren't you?" Li Bida's voice was actually a little trembling.

As if relieved, Rabinus hoarsely uttered two words of unknown meaning, and then bowed his head again.

So Li Bida made a look at Alp behind him, pulled out the Habaishi sword he was wearing, and stepped forward. "Stop Alp. You don't have the right to take the head of this enemy - let me do it. And then. Li Bida slowly stretched out his hand, and Arp felt that His Excellency the High Priest was not good at using the curved Egyptian sword, so he untied the long sword from the belt of a passing soldier and handed it to Li Bida's hand.

"Listen Rabinus, it's me Aemilius who killed you today. Li Bida is not any ordinary soldier or centurion. ”

After hearing Li Bida's words, Rabinus looked up in satisfaction. As if laughing, he completely exposed his throat, and then Li Bida leaned over in the saddle and plunged the sword in his hand into his neck.

"Send the body back to the physician in the back camp, and have Labinus's head removed, and then incinerate the body with the rest of the war dead, and take out the heart, and send it back to his hometown of Jingulum for burial." Lybida instructed Arp, and then he gazed at the corpse of Rabinus, and dismounted and took off his blue cloak. Carefully and solemnly draped over his corpse, and casually chanted verses. "Mother, I have come among the enemy, wise or unwise, but all love their country, and those who do not love it are only words, but the mind is something else—Rabinus, is it not so?"

At this time, after learning that their commander had been killed in battle, Rabinus's men could no longer hold on, some of them knelt on the front line and begged for mercy, some of them fled into the camp and did not know the future, and many more fled into the mountains beside the Tumr River, and after hearing the words of the high priest, "If the enemy camp cannot be captured at dusk, I will go up myself, and do not bother all the generals", the sixth, twelfth, and fifteenth legions were full of shame, and they were exhausted, wounded, and thirsty, and many soldiers and slaves were together, After smashing the enemy's stick throwers, he used a hook to pull down the wooden fence of the ramparts, and finally before the allotted time, the whole line attacked three of the camps, and captured all the baggage and slaves inside—and then the rest of Rabinus's camp also collapsed one after another.

The battle finally ended before dusk, and on the battlefield the Rabinus army discarded six thousand corpses, ten thousand fled, and the rest surrendered; Li Bida lost fifteen centurions, nine cavalry captains, and nine hundred soldiers.

While everyone was standing in line in the camp where the enemy had fallen, piling up the captured flags and booty in the square, and cheering for the guards of Li Bida to enter the parade, the high priest found that the little dove at the front of the line was crying, "What are you crying about? Is it because of the joy of defeating a strong enemy? ”

"No, Fan Lunjuna's father is seriously injured, and the doctor is performing a craniotomy and bloodletting operation on him."

After hearing this, Li Bida was also silent for a while, he was powerless about the medical skills of this era, the doctors were bold, and the tools were complete, as if Catilin's ancestors had also been amputated by them and installed fake iron hands, they used something similar to the red wine opener of later generations to perform this operation on people, but nine out of ten diseases died, I am afraid that the prospects are extremely unoptimistic, "Do your best, little pigeon, you immediately sacrifice a rooster and a rabbit in front of the altar of the god of medicine." ”

Then, it was time to pack up the wounded and bury the bodies, and on the night of the bonfires, all the legions rested in the camp of Rabinus. The next day, the physicians and their assistants, with candles tied to their heads, went into the tent with trepidation, and reported to the high priest who was lying on his side on the bed: "We can report to you, Your Excellency, about last night's operation. ”

"Of course, because it's my request." Li Bida got up a little tired and asked.

"The operation was a success, we were able to uncover the skull and remove the blood mass." The doctor rubbed his hands together and said, "However, the patient will probably never be able to speak, and his mind will always be taken away by the gods of sleep and the gods of the underworld." ”

Li Bida sighed, and then instructed Matthias beside him, "This is not something that can be forced by ability, and the reward is three hundred dinars for the doctor." Also, send 400,000 Cesdes to the Hybrida family, and remove him from military service, so that he can go back to his old age. ”

Then, Li Bida got up, walked out of the tent, and gave an order to all the heralds waiting there, "Send Paluma as the vanguard, and swim along the Tumr River with the new cavalry corps, capture the movements of the enemy's special army, and after obtaining accurate information, our army will attack on all fronts, and then go and annihilate it!" ”

About a bazaar day later, the city of Zama was littered with corpses, and Paruma's cavalry army slowly searched the entire battlefield - the ancient communication conditions were so backward that the special army of Lelias was doomed, and they were incapable of closely cooperating with the annihilated Rabinus army - four days after the fall of Rabinus, Lelias appeared in a half-dead state in the streets of thirty romans outside the city of Zama with three legions, they had no food and no water, and the beasts and horses died in large numbers, Before the battle was fought, the cavalry corps of Paruma, who had been recuperated, easily crushed all the enemies before the main force of his adoptive father arrived, and fought a textbook crushing battle.
