Under the city of Sasura, both sides continued to stack their forces on the opposing line, Rabinus continued to stretch the wings of the cavalry, trying to give full play to the advantage of the number of cavalry, but Caesar continued to use the tactics of infantry counterattack, squeezing and crushing the enemy's offensive everywhere, and for a time it was difficult to distinguish between them, and the battle was very fierce.

Eventually, Caesar's veteran soldier, Milou, led his troops up the walls of Sasura and used ballistas and scorpion crossbow weapons to shoot spears and heavy arrows at each other. Bugadias, another cavalry captain under Rabinus, was cut in half by a shotspear that came from his horse, half of his ear was discarded, and he was mortally wounded and fell from his horse. Caesar's lieutenant Gobale, whose shield was pierced by more than a dozen Numidian javelins, wounded his right hand and dragged back to the city for treatment. Both sides left behind a dense pile of corpses and wounded men on the opposing line, and then withdrew to their towns and camps at dusk to strike the battle.

The next day, Caesar pulled all his soldiers out of the city and marched in array to challenge King Juba, and the two sides fought fiercely again, and the scale of the battle grew rapidly like a whirlpool—Li Bida and another mobile group rushed down from Gemal Hill and fought with the watchmen of Rilias.

Sulpitius, who was excited, hurriedly asked Pompey to lead all the rest of the legions to break through the Caesar's camp fortifications on the opposite ridge, but Pompey had no choice but to follow the action, and Antony, who stayed behind, also selected forty infantry brigades, went out of the camp and lined up, and Pompey's men and horses engaged in long-distance arrow and cavalry battles with each other.

Another day of slaughter was over, and Caesar was finally left behind behind some of his forces under the city of Sasura. He was defeated and retreated back to the camp.

At the foot of Jemal Mountain. Li Bida has a small win on Lelias. He did not dare to fight, but led the cavalry to secure Caesar's retreat. The battle between Pompey and Antony could not distinguish an actual victory, and each of them paid hundreds of casualties and retreated. The battle line seemed to be back to its previous state, but in the early hours of the morning, decisive news came - the city of Tapsus announced that it had fallen to Pompey's side and quietly crossed the line of fire and sent the noble hostages to Pompey's camp. Ask Pompey to send an army to help defend Caesar.

"It seems that Reginus's rebellion has worked before, but Reginus is now captured by Caesar's army in Zeta City - however, the attitude of Tapsus City is sincere, and the current situation is really as complicated as a fog, and the war is slowly becoming irregular." Pompey groaned, then said to the envoy of Tapsus, "Bear with me for three days, I will observe the situation and decide to use the army to reinforce your city." ”

As a result, there was an uproar at the meeting, and the senators expressed their dissatisfaction with Pompey's gentleness. He also said that if he delayed this time, not only would Tapsus die. And it can also make the whole battle situation difficult to return, and we must seize this precious opportunity.

"Do your best to pass the order, hold a battalion-wide uprooting ceremony, and tomorrow break through Caesar's camp position and reinforce your city!" Sulpitius seemed to see that the road back to Rome was opening unimpeded for him, and in a hurry he took the place of Pompey to give orders.

Pompey roared and stood up, "The current situation is not clear, I have seven legions on my shoulders, close to eighty thousand lives. At the time of the Battle of Cannae, the whole Roman army was as numerous as I am now, and almost the entire country was defeated, partly because of the terrible enemy Hannibal, and half because of the rhetorical consul Varro, whose reckless impulsiveness and irrationality brought everyone to ruin! Now my wish is simple, I don't want this scenario to happen again. ”

"You're letting everybody, drink the poison of diarrhea, slowly, painfully, slowly die." Sulpitius also shouted angrily, "Are you still the great man who forged ahead? But now I ask you Pompey to make it clear to you that it is the Senate or our chosen fathers who are leading the country. If you don't feel like you're up to the task, we'll be able to elect a deputy to replace you. ”

The old lion was also furious, and he rushed up, grabbed Sulpisius by the collar, and at once pushed him to the pillar in the tent, and the bronze oil lamp was knocked over, and it burned, and the slaves screamed, and were busy extinguishing the flames, and the generals and senators around them scattered and hid, and they had never seen Pompey so agitated and out of shape, "Thirty years, thirty years, even if it is the ships of Hades that greet me in a few days, I will express the grievances of so many years, it is not a pastoral song, but a bloody howl." The Senate, the Senate, is all a bunch of vulgar bastards, they are such a bunch of people, like a flock of noisy sparrows, competing with each other for incompetence, biting the bugs in their mouths to show off to each other, and then relying on their ancestral shadow rather than their own talents, they control this great country, they are afraid that the enemy is a thug, but they are even more afraid of the eagle in their flock, yes, yes - they pay attention to everything in order, they are afraid of the slightest change, they are in pursuit of eternity' Fortunately, possession', and instead of an orderly and fierce flow, any outstanding eagle appeared, and they cried out uneasily, like prostitutes, for their sky could not contain an eagle, and they feared that the eagle would take away the carrion under its pale pale paws! Pompey then pushed the faceless Sulpisius away, hunched over and staggered, saying, "When I took over Luculas's army, he called me a carrion-eating eagle." Well, now let Caesar peck at my corpse and smugly, you are all dead, and I will be like a real bird of prey, crashing into the most majestic cliffs in the roar of lightning and thunder. ”

Labinus was silent, looking at Pompey with his back to him, how he wished that Pompey could have his youthful energy, or that he would have such an honorary position as Pompey, but this was just wishful thinking, and soon Pompey turned back to him and said, "Don't die, Rabinus." ”

"I won't die, at least I won't beg for death, Your Excellency. I made this vow when I was in Coculla, and I will keep going, and keep fighting, until the invisible hand of death stops me. Rabinus looked up and choked up, "It must be a wonderful feeling to stop and rest." ”

Pompey laughed and said that it would indeed be very wonderful, and I would enjoy it immediately, "In the flute of Yoyo, and the rumbling thunder, enjoy the sublimation and the collapse, this is death, all philosophical meditation, for death to do its training." ”

At this moment, a loud voice was heard in the distance, and the token officer ran in with a look of great surprise, and said, "Caesar's whole camp is scattered and running!" (To be continued......)
