In the midst of the gallop, Paruma bowed down, the sun and wind in the desert, like magma and flames, passed by his ears, he felt that his whole hair was about to burn, and then he leaned slightly to the side, because the little pigeon was a cripple, and he could only be in this position in the saddle, and with the sharp friction sound, he pulled out a pair of sharp Spanish swords from the hanging sheath on both sides of the saddle, and held the hilt of the sword in his backhand, his front body was tightly attached to the support point in front of the new saddle, and his legs were firmly clamped on the horse's belly, and then the next move, The Spanish cavalryman, who had not yet reacted to the name on the other side, was cut by the blade of the little pigeon like the wind from the waist to the ribs at the moment when the two horses staggered, and blood and internal organs spilled out.

There was another cheer, and Paruma, with her body on the side of the saddle, flashed the javelin thrown by the enemy horseman, and with a sword in her hand, removed the arm of the enemy team's team's team, and the team sign fell to the ground.

"Hooray, for the glory of the High Priest!" Closely behind Paruma was the Germanic cavalry who had changed to tall Cyrene horses, each of them holding a short cylinder, the hooves of the horses intertwined and flying, and then the sound of thunder resounded throughout the battlefield, red and yellow flames, with gunpowder smoke to draw a trajectory, flew towards the shocked Spanish cavalry group, many people turned their heads in fright on the spot, lay on the saddle, and fled frantically, while many light infantry were thrown in place, and the clever ones had already pulled the tail of their cavalry and ran away, The unwitting perished under the swords and maces of the Germanic cavalry.

Paruma's new cavalry corps struck the Rabinus cavalry, which was separated between the fifteenth legion and the remaining ones, in a single assault, "Don't stop. Everyone changes to a second horse. Tear up the blockade of the XII Corps in front of me too! ”

Hit until dusk. The two exhausted legions of Rabinus also failed to break through the rearguard line organized by the Twelfth Legion, and the cavalry responsible for ambushing and outflanking was also completely scattered by Paruma, and the two legions sent by Libida to rescue the city of Varga, the main force retreated intact to the edge of the riverbed.

"Reward all the soldiers, and declare to the outside world that our ambush of Libidaeus has been successful, and we have achieved a brilliant victory." After dark. Sitting alone in the tent, Rabinus spoke slowly in the candlelight to the token officers standing in a line in front of him.

Then he covered his cheeks with his hands in pain: for a whole year, they braved the bitter cold and heat in Spain and the Balearic Islands, and the infantry, stragglers, cavalry, and fleets, all underwent extremely rigorous training, not to mention veterans. Even as a new recruit, Rabinus was convinced that he could exert a fighting force no less than that of any of the main legions of the Republic.

But. Today, as soon as he fought with Li Bida's main army, he tasted the bitter fruit, although he killed and wounded hundreds of enemies, but his four infantry regiments each lost no less than 500 people, and the exchange ratio was three to one or even four to one.

What's more, according to the frightened accounts of the wounded, the enemy's cavalry had been "reborn", and many people were able to spew ghostly fireworks and sounds from the cylinders hanging under the saddle, coupled with the war drums they beat when they charged, so that our horses had to flee before the battle, and the enemy did not pursue, first brutally slaughtered all the light infantry who had lost the cover of the cavalry, and then cooperated with their infantry to advance into the battle line, so that our cavalry was helpless.

"If I tried my best to temper the army into the elite of the Republic's contemporaries, it can be said that Li Bida's army has transformed into a monster beyond the times in the past two or three years. In other words, I personally cannot defeat the times? Rabinus muttered to himself, then let out a long breath, and lay down on his back in his chair, frustrated, he fixed his eyes on the wine jar on the flat table next to him, which was a decoration on weekdays, for Rabinus had always been a drinker, but today was different, and he wanted to drink.

After a few glasses of wine, instead of relieving fatigue as the legend says, Rabinus's despair and frustration deepened, he rubbed his nose and made a purring sound, his eyelids began to heavily, he felt very tired, and he no longer wanted to continue to wake up in this hopeless and endless struggle, and the pain would only get deeper and deeper.

"Then it would be better to die a vigorous battle, just as Pompey said to the Senate before the Battle of Tapsus, like an eagle, a real eagle, bravely crashing into a cliff and breaking bones in the midst of lightning and thunder."

The next day, Rabinus ordered that the bodies of the officers and soldiers killed in the previous day's battle be placed under the city of Vaga, and ordered his men to kill all the wounded soldiers captured in front of the soldiers defending the city, some crucified, some stoned to death, and some tied up and burned to death.

The screams and curses reached the hands of the Hitius, who were still defending the city, and all of them clung to the walls with their hands, "Do not have any indignation or recklessness, that fellow Rabinus was a bastard, the executioner who was fond of killing captives and former companions, and that a man like him should be hanged in the stinking dungeons of Rome, so that we must neither be killed nor captured by him - the best way is to continue to hold on to the city, This is the heaviest blow to the enemy, leaving them in a state of annoyance and anger. "Hitius walked around the temple and the city, and continued to do this to all the soldiers and citizens.

And when the war report arrived in the hands of Li Bida in the camp, he didn't believe it at first, and sternly questioned the three generals Serha, Kalenus, and Paruma, and brought in the chief centurion of the three legions, the cavalry captain, and Hansk, and after repeated review and comparison, he finally implemented the impression, and couldn't help laughing, "In three to five days, we can carry out a decisive battle!" ”

Looking at the generals with surprised faces, Li Bida patiently explained:

"From the armed reconnaissance of the previous day, it is not difficult for us to see that the combat strength and tactics of Rabinus's legion are not my opponent at all. Therefore, the timing of the decisive battle need not be delayed any longer, as long as Rabinus is defeated here, and we will return and completely annihilate the detour of Lelias from the bypass, if I enter Spain, there will be no major battles to fight, and the loss of my troops and materiel will be reduced to a minimum - of course, the most important thing is that we will have enough to reinforce Caesar in the Greek field! ”

Speaking of "surplus", Li Bida couldn't help but think of the information he sent back with the eyeliner he had placed next to Octavian:

Caesar the Young was no match for Brutus in terms of warfare, and he was unfavorable in many battles, not to mention that Cassiillo also landed in the Peloponnese and began to threaten Caesar the Younger's army from the flank.

"Poor Turinus, why don't you lend me a hand?" (To be continued......)
