For the next two or three days, Octavian really dared to stick to the camp and did not fight, and in order to prevent the night from dreaming too much, Antony hurriedly withdrew the Fifth and Tenth Legions, and asked his close confidant Centurion to supervise the camp and march, so as to prevent the two legions and Octavian's men from "coming into contact with deterioration".

Antony gave the soldiers a reward for the previous victory, and after thinking about it, Antonis summoned all the centurions, saying that they would soon give eighty cesses to each of the three legions participating in the battle on the ration day, and the centurions would be doubled. This meagre reward made the three legions very dissatisfied, and they complained on the march, and barely reached the outskirts of the city of Mutina in half a day under the stick of the supervising centurion.

But in the night, the three legions actually elected all the military tribunes, a total of seventeen people came to Anthony's commander's tent, came to complain about the resentment of the soldiers, and of course the eighteenth, that is, Leo, who was forced to become the military tribune of the five legions before the war, he was also Anthony's fellow herald soldiers, these seventeen people deliberately turned a blind eye to Anthony, but submitted a complaint to Leo, because the soldiers liked Leo, and he helped to handle every family letter.

"What do you mean by that?" Anthony, who was sitting next to Leo, was angry.

"They obviously think the reward is too low, Father Anthony." Leo answered in their place.

"I didn't ask you!" Anthony was angry, he felt that Leo was simply nosy, but then he saw that the eyes of all his subordinates were wrong, and he realized that when he deceived the soldiers before, he had pulled Leo's banner of "the so-called alliance with Li Pida", so he immediately softened his tone. Diverted the topic. "Those beautiful dancers I gave you. What do you do with it? ”

"Arrange for two people to do the chores for me, and send the rest to your personal centurion." Leo's answer almost choked Anthony to death - he originally let these women corrupt Leo, but he didn't expect to be pried into his corner by Leo in turn. "Alright, Leo, Protector of the Lark Legion, you can now hand me my men's petition." Anthony snapped his fingers at Leo, reminding.

Leo respectfully handed it over, but then he stood respectfully beside his father, Master Anthony, and stared at him affectionately. "Alright. I will consider this appeal in a timely manner. Anthony snorted.

"It's okay, I think that before attacking the city of Mutina, all the soldiers will be very anxious to know your opinion on this matter, so I would better deal with it here." Leo didn't hurry.

Anthony was really angry, but he didn't have a good seizure, he felt that his whole scalp was about to boil and burst, so he could only announce with a wry smile to everyone that he would triple the reward he had originally planned, and see that all the military tribunes were still angry and embarrassed. Anthony, who had no choice but to triple, was considered to have left all those who came to complain.

"Alright. It's okay, son, dear friend Li Bida! Look at you, you're doing this for my good, aren't you? That's what you're going to say, anyway. Later, in the tent, Anthony stamped his feet around Leo and complained loudly.

"Yes, I think so......" Before Leo could finish speaking, Anthony immediately made a gesture of "You give me a complete stop as fast as a beep", and then he crossed his waist and gasped, "In the battle against the city of Mutina, you are no longer allowed to do anything in place of the soldiers, you must be by my side at all times - yes, you are as terrible as the plague, yes, you must be at my bed when you are camped, I will call that fat prostitute to call you a man, anyway, she has coveted you for a long time, this is my revenge, Don't cry when you do, if you do, wait until your father comes, and then throw yourself into his arms and cry again!" ”

But after Anthony finished getting angry, he really saw Leo's eyes red, "What's the matter, now I know to forgive, you little fox who pretends to be docile." ”

"I think of my mother—but even more of my father—if my father had come here, and fought a horrific and merciless battle like you had fought with Turinus three days ago, how heartbroken it would have been, why couldn't you have made peace with my father?" Leo's unpretentious speech made Anthony quiet for a moment, he also felt tired, but he remembered the previous battles with Leo's father in Cyprus, Egypt, Africa and other places, how good those days were, if people don't have real private property, they have no selfish intentions, don't they? Speaking of which, it was the thousands of Tallents left by Caesar that gave him a taste of the drug of power, and he has been out of control ever since.

Anthony patted Leo on the back and said that you don't need to care about the affairs between me and your father, your wife and my wife, your mother and my mother are safe in the city of Rome for the time being, and some small conflicts between men will soon be revealed, but as a price, some people will have to die, after saying that, Anthony slowly straightened the wrist ring and said, "For example, up and down the city of Mutina." ”

In the north of the city of Mutina, there was a commotion and the sound of horses' hooves - Dehemoth's cavalry came out of the secret gate again and attacked the civil engineering operations of the Antony army, "The fifth legion, which was resting in the rear, drew four brigades to storm the ramparts and return the enemy's cavalry. Anthony rode his horse and galloped from the west of the city to the battlefield, followed by Leo and Curio, and a large number of Tarraco cavalry, and by the time they reached there, the ballistas on the ramparts had been in full swing, and had broken the army of Dehemoth, which had rushed out of the tunnels and secret doors, and there were many corpses and many remnants of fire burning in front of the trenches and wooden fences below.

"The enemy won't last long!" When Anthony came to the fortress, he encouraged the soldiers of the Ninth Legion and said, "Concentrate more ballistas and catapults on this section of the wall, and I will arrange for other legions to take over tomorrow and attack!" ”

Then, the centurion on duty of the Ninth Legion came running and handed the sentry board to Anthony for a look, and after a few hurried glances, he nodded, saying that the ramparts must be protected to prevent the enemy from counterattacking before dying. Then he looked through the fence and the wall toward the city of Mutina, but saw that many of the people had been driven up the wall, and were weeping and carrying the timber, and in fear they were repairing the broken places.

"They're using the temple's olive trees," Anthony muttered, then glancing at the chief centurion of the Ninth Legion, "the enemy is running out, you can tell the ballista to pause the attack for a day, and it's not a good thing to kill so many civilians." With that, he took Leo with him again. (To be continued......)
