Such a good thing is better than being trapped in the city and being buried for nothing, and several nobles immediately agreed, and then they each returned to the camp and mobilized their own personal soldiers, because this group of people was absolutely loyal to them, and it was unnecessary to find ordinary soldiers to respond to them at this time.

Later, Bratias instructed some of his subordinates to run around and shout in the camp, and the effect was immediate—the captain of the Pompey garrison, thinking that there had been a roar, rushed over with armed slaves and a few guards, stood at the main entrance of the auxiliary camp, and demanded that all the clan chiefs come to see him.

Bratias, and his companions, gathered around him, and hastened to explain, "Honorable sir, some of the soldiers, who are homesick and dissatisfied with their rewards, want you to do some soothing work with their purse bags. ”

At this time, the rest of the barbarian soldiers also surrounded one after another, and the captain of the garrison was still very angry at first, "You Celtic should not be overly arrogant, according to the provisions of Roman law, there is no monetary reward for your participation in the war, and it would be good if the current situation could feed you." ”

"Do you mean that we have no hope for this war?" Amid the uneasy noise of the soldiers, Bratias, who was hiding behind, took the opportunity to light the fire and continued to ask loudly.

The captain of the garrison was so angry that he raised the grape cane in his hand, "Who is that bastard who bewitched the hearts of the army just now, pull him out for me, I will whip him to death." ”

The barbarian auxiliaries all shouted, "Don't lash, we need an explanation!" ”

Seeing everyone's anger ignited. The captain of the garrison and others were also afraid of this, which sparked a mutiny. He thought about retreating to the camp of his brigade. In this way, he was about to turn around and leave, but Bratias was quick and pounced, and the captain of the garrison, who was also a veteran of the battlefield, instantly bent down and retreated to the narrow camp gate, sealing the road inside and outside. Then he shouted to the rest, "Go to our camp and ask everyone to be armed." He raised his shield.

But his shield was of no avail—with a flick of his arm, Bratias threw out of his hand the small axe that had been hidden in his jacket, splitting the captain's helmet and sending his brains and blood flying.

The rest of the nobles stepped forward, drew their swords, and slew down all the captain's guards, then turned back and launched a quick and swift agitation against all the soldiers. "Soon the army of the High Priest will enter the city of Uriah, and we are his representatives. All mobilize! So the soldiers clamored and took up their weapons and shields, and some of them besieged the camp of the Pompey's brigade, while the rest passed through the streets below the city, ascended the towers, killed the ten captains of the Pompeians who were guarding here, and coerced the slaves and the volunteer citizens to surrender, and then Bratias stood on the battlement, shook a reflective shield in his hand a few times, and threw it down from the city—a signal that had been agreed in advance—and suddenly the shouts outside the city shook like a mountain, and all the main forces of Li Bida, They all raised their torches and surged over, and Bratias's henchmen then pulled up the iron lattice gates of the city gates, and Li Bida first told Flaccus to rush in with a regiment of elite soldiers to prepare for fraud, and then when it was confirmed that it was correct, he rushed in with the other infantry and seized the city of Uriah.

At this time, Dasius's prophecy came true, and the anti-water barbarian soldiers who had lost control for a time set fire to and looted everywhere, robbing the women and girls in the city, and then many people rushed to the agricultural temple in the northwest of the city, and used axes to split the latch of the door, and captured the gold, silver, and money hidden in it: Li Bida only sent his cronies to seize the commanding heights of the important places in the city, and did not care about the rest.

At this time, the garrison brigade of Pompey's party all retreated to the acropolis and continued to hold on, "Flaccus, organize my men to conquer it within a sentry hour." The high priest sternly ordered that all the officers and men should not be lazy, for they lacked equipment, and did not have time to push the ballistas and harp ladders, so they built up a ladder in twos and threes, and quickly climbed up the acropolis from all directions, and engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders, and after about half a sentry, the enemy garrison surrendered, and the city of Uriah fell.

When Flaccus came out of the acropolis, holding a shield and carrying a man's head, he did not see any sign of the high priest, "Your Excellency, General Dussonville, with all the cavalry, rushed out of the city and went to attack the camp of Dacius. One of the flag-bearers replied to him.

So Flaccus could only throw his head to the ground and shout to everyone in the chief brigade, "The others are temporarily in control of the city, and our brigade will raise the team sign and follow in the footsteps of the high priest!" ”

In the starry night, the blue cloak was blowing, and Li Bida, who was holding the baton on horseback, and all the other elite cavalry were closely following him, hearing the sound of the night wind whistling in his ears, and his mind was without further ado, to take advantage of the opportunity for Dasius to gain a firm foothold, and go one step further on the martial arts to capture the city of Uriah, and completely defeat the enemy of this legion, and the more than 800 new cavalry in my hands are the real decisive trump card! By the way, there is also the assistance of local young nobles such as Odax and Bratias.

Soon, in the valley of the Midasia River, they encountered the cavalry of Dacius patrolling at night, and without saying a word, the two sides quickly intertwined and scuffled, and everywhere there was the sound of horses' hooves, and the flickering swords and shadows of swords, and then the bonfires were lit in the entire Pompey camp, and everywhere there were shouts of soldiers, and the crossbow machines were launched, "There is an enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!" ”

"We have taken the city of Uriah, the whole province of Spain has been occupied by the high priest, and the younger brother Pompey is dead." The dozen or so Lypida cavalrymen at the front shouted these words in Latin, and ran around the trench, "Don't give up the last chance to save yourself, throw down your weapons, and surrender to the high priest." ”

Quickly, Li Bida's vanguard cavalry cut down several wooden fences and rushed into the camp, but Dacius ordered the soldiers to dig many trenches in the camp in advance, which made the cavalry fall from their horses one after another, and then the severed heads were also thrown out of the camp, so the high priest could only dismount himself, and together with Junison Vier and other comrades, he marched bravely, climbed over the wooden fence, climbed the tower, and stormed, "Continue to hold on, and soon our successors will come!" ”

"You can't let the enemy rush in." At the same time, Dasius also led the guards to the area where the fighting was most intense, and personally commanded the attack and defense. (To be continued......)
