"A great general who wants to conquer others does so by his own virtues and not by the evil deeds of others." - Camillus, a famous military reformer and general in ancient Rome

In the shouts, the light infantry of Numidia rushed like lightning, and they ran barefoot and in the desert and mountains at the same speed as the cavalry, which made the cavalry have no cover for these people's worries, and the two sides could charge together.

The crowd rushed up like a tied, and after a moment of engagement they retreated, and then at the signal of Rabinus, another group of people poured out of the valley again to take over the fierce battle. Rabinus was obviously prepared this time, he used camel caravans to support his tactics, not only many camels with water bladders and javelins came to serve as logistics, but also selected four camels, painted and armoured, and erected many colorful flags on the wooden tower on their backs, which were used to issue complex coordinated combat instructions, which shows that Rabinus's command system has also been practiced for a long time, and at this moment, he can command the Numidians who have always been easy to command.

Moreover, Rabinus must have had a special order beforehand, that is, the hunting spears and javelins fired by the Numidians were specifically aimed at the horses of Lypida's troops, and not specifically injected people, this tactic was very vicious and tricky, when the soldiers of the fifteenth legion lined up to guard the formation, they rushed up and threw javelins, and then when the cavalry attached to the legion launched a counterattack, they retreated like the wind, and the follow-up men and horses killed the cavalry horses that rushed up. After a few rounds of engagement, the fifteenth legion's war horses actually lost more than half, which Tobias spent a great deal of effort. Carefully raised from Cyrene.

The horses are gone. Many cavalrymen could only come down. Trekking with the infantry, it turned out that two full days had passed, and the troops had not moved a single Roman mile.

And Rabinus signaled again on the mountain, and the Numidian cavalry, without saddles, began to penetrate between the fifteenth and twelfth legions, and they rode their horses to the left and right, but like insects, they strictly obeyed their tactical order in the chaos. And constantly "pushed" Li Bida's corps in the direction of the east.

"They are trying to get us to abandon our route to the city of Agaba, to disturb our pace and our minds, and then drive us into a desert place, so that Rabinus can trap us and easily annihilate our army, which has no water." Seeker Ha saw Rabinus' intentions and said to Lybida.

"How far is this from the city of Agapa?" Li Bida shouted, surrounded by the figures of Numidian cavalry.

"About nine romans." Sabo, who was beside Li Pida, replied with a box in his arms that his mount had also been shot.

"The order was given to the entire regiment, and all the soldiers threw down the baggage and mule carts. I personally took the veteran queen with me. After Li Bida finished speaking, he gave up his mount to Sabo. With a squad of cavalry, you rush to the city of Agraba and ask Anthony to come to the rescue. ”

Sabo nodded, cheered and stepped on horseback, Serha gathered all the remaining cavalry, held the shield and sandwiched Sabo in the middle, and rushed through the pile of baggage and goods all over the ground with smoke and dust, and half a mile away from Rome, the Twelfth Legion was also surrounded by the smoke and dust from the Numidian cavalry, Sabo gritted his teeth, saw the right time, and burst through the gap in the short time when the enemy retreated.

"What, the Chief is surrounded by enemies in the field?" When the disgraced Sabo rode outside the city of Agaba, Vicintoli, who learned of the situation, was particularly surprised, and Antony shouted directly, and all the remaining cavalry prepared their saddles and prepared to mount their horses.

Viccintoli grabbed Antony and spoke in Greek, "What if the enemy also has a contingent outside the city?" ”

But Antony asked him to speak Latin, because he couldn't understand Greek, so Vicintoli repeated it.

"You can't throw away the chief executive and the general, it's as simple as that." At this moment, Anthony put on an even more surprised look, and then he turned on his horse, ready to lead everyone to attack.

"But what about the city of Agaba, if the Numidians rush and take it away, we will lose our foothold." Vicintoli then shouted the dismount slogan at his Gallic cavalry.

Anthony became irritable, and he replied, "It doesn't matter, as long as we rescue the two legions of Lypida, even if Agaba is lost, we can take it back, then my conversation with you has been delayed for a long time, and now you must let go, and do not delay my battle, because when the Twelfth and Fifteenth Legions go to war, they carry very little water.

"Yes, the Chief Officer can only hold out for about two moments, and if he doesn't send any more reinforcements, the whole team will be in danger." Saab also got on the horse and said to everyone.

At this time, there was a lot of smoke and dust outside the city of Agaba, and sure enough, many Numidian cavalry without saddles rushed over, showing off their might, claiming that Lybidaeus had been completely annihilated by them, and demanding that the city surrender as much as possible.

"Let's stick here and go to the main camp of Lord Caesar!"

But before Vicintoli could finish saying this, Antony waved his horsewhip and gave him a backhand, and then Antony held up the emblem and shouted that the enemy was all talking nonsense, that they were all defeated soldiers from the city of Zeta, and that our legions had plundered many, many goods in that city, and now they all followed me, and those who stayed behind would not share any of the spoils!

Then, all the cavalry shouted in unison, and as Antony rushed out of the city of Agapa in a sea of mountains, the Numidian cavalry on the opposite side did not dare to confront each other head-on, but could only flee towards the valley, "Crazy, simply crazy, keep a strong stronghold and not defend, and go out to the field." Vicintoli complained loudly, but he could only mount his horse and follow the back of the group.

At this moment, the distance between the two legions was getting bigger and bigger, and under the observation of Rabinus, Li Bida was in the rear army, so he specially ordered 2,000 Numidian cavalry with saddles to rush to the rear of the Twelfth Army Corps, and fight hard with the Tagus's troops, so as not to let him get close to Li Pida's rear army. And over there, the brigade led by Callernus went farther and farther in the fierce battle.

"The soldiers have run out of water!" In the phalanx of the Fifteenth Legion, a group of veterans threw thistles out of the Numidian cavalry (for they had no arrows or pikes) and many were dismayed to discover this fact.

"Pee and drink." As a result, Li Bida, Sayha and other officers took the lead, gathered together, and jumped up into the open leather bag, "Hey, you are black and big enough!" Li Bida looked at Serha in amazement and said.

"Thank you, Chief Officer, for the compliment." Serha immediately turned around and said, but he urinated on Li Bida's leg.

"Bastard, don't waste it!" (To be continued......)
