Octavian, seeing that the situation was not good, jumped off his shoulder with great speed, and then jumped on Agrippa's horse, his riding skills were already as sophisticated as that of his dead adoptive father, and then he turned his head and saw Leo following Antony, who was also rushing in front of him, "It seems that he has been taken hostage." But before he could think about it, the cavalry led by Agrippa and Mecenas guarded Caesar closely, and then rushed back up the ridge.

Antony's cavalry, and then instantly surrounded Octavian's shoulders by the infantry and military slaves, most of whom were of the 43rd Legion of Hezyus, and the cavalry of Tarako jumped directly over the corpses and wounded, and then slashed into the isolated brigades of the 43rd Legion in front, cutting them off from the soldiers in the rear camp - and then, all the infantry of Wentidis pressed up, and Hezius could not escape, and was encircled by the tent that he had just won.

When Octavian had rushed up the ridge, he asked Kalenus and Angandinus to come to the rescue of the besieged consuls, "Be sure to save Hzyus, or the whole legion will suffer the disgrace of losing the consul!" With that, he jumped off his horse, and went to his own command room in the camp, where several enemy flags captured in the previous battle were lined up, and sat down without saying a word—it seemed that Caesar Jr. had just been frightened by Antony's assault, and his face began to turn pale and red again, which was a precursor to illness, and Agrippa and Meecenas hurried up to apply herbs, and Caesar Jr. remained motionless, like a fool at a loss.

By the time the two appointed generals rushed down with the chief brigades of the two legions, it was too late. When Hezyus fled by the tent. Encountered a group of Talaco cavalry. They had already dispersed into small groups, hunting down the soldiers of the Forty-Third Legion who had collapsed, only to be led by the captain of the cavalry who shouted in Latin, "The Italians have all gone away, and we will only kill the barbarians who follow the enemy." So the guards around Hejus scattered in terror, and the captain of the cavalry flew in on his horse with a sword, with a dog-legged Spanish blade. Half of Hejius' shoulder was chopped off, and Hejius fell to the ground, moving a few times before dying.

When the Forty-third Legion was devastated, the cavalry cannons of the Sixth and Twelfth Legions on the ridge were the first to smash the sentry team that Anthony had left under him like ants, and then the elite of the two chief brigades rushed down with swords and speed.

"Turn back and fight!" Anthony gave the order, but his cavalry was tired from the battle, and his infantry had not had time to withdraw back to resist, so they were attacked by Li Bida's two legions, and at this time, even the ten legions that were originally watching the battle. They all sent cavalry to help the 6th and 12th legions. Antony's cavalry could not hold their foot, and they could only flee towards their own camp. The light and heavy infantry that followed threw their armor and weapons all over the ground, and then wore military uniforms and short shirts, and fled together with their horses' tails.

In two days, the tide of battle was reversed, and after nightfall, Curio also burned down the camp and retreated with the Eighth Legion to join Antony, who reluctantly ordered the siege of the city of Mutina, and called the Eleventh Legion to move closer to him, and then retreated six Roman miles before he could be considered to have stopped his position.

Octavian, on the other hand, sent his soldiers into the camp that had been burned by Antony's army, and failed to capture anything of value, such as flags and goods, but the Ninth and Tenth Legions came and were willing to use them for him, which was the greatest gain.

In other words, at least six legions were now under Octavian's command, and although the forty-two and forty-three were heavily defeated, he still thought that he had sufficient strength, and many generals and veterans told him to continue the attack on the city of Mutina, "for the purpose of this trip was not to destroy Antony, but to replace Antony to destroy Dehemoth." ”

Octavian begged everyone to be at ease, for the reason only he knew, that is, he had no money, and he was afraid that even if the city of Mutina was captured, the proceeds of the plunder would not be enough to pay off his promise, that is, "to give the common soldier five hundred dinars, centurions and military tribunions ten times the heavy burden", so he had to get the help of the senate and the treasury, so after the military council, he went to Mecenas and Panza, "I want to transport the body of the consul Hezius back to the city of Rome, and asked the Senate for the victory of Guò over Antony, and for the reward of the Legion from the Treasury, and I asked Meecenas to write the report, while His Excellency Panza escorted the coffin of Khzyus. ”

Panza knew that this was Octavian's strategy, to put it bluntly, his command of the army, he would never want to be constrained by him and the two consuls of Hergius, and now that Herdyus is dead, he will also be squeezed out in this form, but Pansa does not dare and does not want to linger more, afraid that after a long time, he will encounter a similar fate to Herjus, whether intentional or unintentional, he decided to leave, so he calculated in his heart and agreed to Octavian's request very neatly.

At the table in the tent, Meecenas drafted Octavian's report to the Senate, and then he gave the original and copy to Pansa and Octavian to weigh separately, and after the survey was correct, the two of them each stamped their seals, and then Meecenas gave the original to Young Caesar Octavian, and the copy to Panza to take to the Senate.

As he took the copy, Pansa was keenly aware that something was wrong with the letter, but he took it with a quick look at Meecenas, pretending not to know anything.

The next day, Panza set out for his return as consul, and Octavian sent him to the banks of the Rubicon, and repeatedly and respectfully begged Pansa to convey the request to the Senate and the Council on his behalf, to which Panza agreed.

But when the party had crossed the river, and had gone out about twenty miles, and had rested in the shade of the trees, Panza and a few henchmen went into the vineyard farmstead, opened the sealed box, and found a thin bronze nameplate pressed under the letterboard.

It was the hands and feet of Mecenas, he was a very nimble young man, Panza was speechless, and took out the nameplate, which was engraved with the sign "A certain paragraph and a certain line", and a few letters, Panza, who had been working as a clerk under Caesar and Izyurus for many years, naturally understood that this was a kind of cipher—and then he used this set of messages, and carefully rearranged the order of the letters of that and that line, which looked ordinary, and the result was spelled into another sentence, "Alimilon City, Arp".
