The majestic formation of more than 200,000 Helvetians who suddenly turned back made all the Roman soldiers on Xiaoshu Mountain feel terrifying, "The whole world is moving, and they seem to ignore us at all, how small are the defenses of our thousands of men—like a helpless ship in the whole sea of raging waves, a few waves can easily swallow us all." But the chief lieutenant Rabinus and the commander Lybidaeus were very calm, and their command art was the dawn of all. "In front of the cavalry artillery position on the hill of Little Trees, Sabo Kemus sat on the grass, while watching the army of barbarians at the foot of the mountain stir up smoke and dust that would obscure the sky, and at the same time he recorded on the vellum this scene that he will never forget: everywhere there was the astonishing light of the soul reflected by chain mail and long swords, everywhere there were shaking barbarian helmets, everywhere there were cries and noises of women and children, everywhere there was the roar of the wheels of the campervans, and everywhere the birds with their terrible calls, They were also frightened by the march of more than 200,000 Helvetians in unison, and many of the birds even fell to their deaths in the Romans' positions with heavy wings.

But Sabo turned his head and saw the calm faces of the two lieutenants sitting on the top of the mountain, under the flag, and a trace of relief swelled in his heart, as long as these two were there, there was still a way.

"Lypidaus, is the chair under you broken? How could there be such a frequent squeak. Rabinus, who had witnessed the attack of the barbarian army under the banner, was constantly wiping sweat on his forehead, cheeks, and neck, and heard the slight and constant crackling sound of the Egyptian toilet chair under the buttocks of Li Bida, who was sitting precariously.

"Uh-huh. Oh. Yes! Li Bida's dull eyes took a long time to recover. He moved his buttocks, laughing at himself that the chair had been given by a friend, and that he couldn't break it, and after a short while, the chair under his butt began to sound unconsciously, and it was evident that Rabinus saw that the commander of the Twelve Legions was shaking violently with the chair. It turned out that this kind of power of more than 200,000 people moving forward collectively was enough to make this guy who was not afraid of heaven and earth feel empty-hearted. Rabinus wanted to laugh out loud, but when he saw the barbarians under the mountain, the sweat came out again, and he grunted and continued to wipe his sweat.

At this time, Pop and Milou ran up and reported to the two, "Is it possible to shoot ballista?" ”

"I hope we can succeed this time, and the main force of the barbarians will not entangle us." Li Bida muttered a few words as if in prayer, then raised his hand, and Pope and Milou ran down again.

Soon, the cavalry cannon "clicked" and fired javelins and stone bullets, hitting the lineup of the barbarian army marching at the foot of the mountain. As soon as it went down, it fell down, but it was just like some spray in the sea. Soon it was clear that there was no trace - countless barbarians still walked unmoved, past the corpses of their friends and kindred, as if they had not taken the Twelve Legions into account at all.

"They will not scruple about us, and Honorex must have told them where Caesar's main force was. And we are nothing more than a pitiful holding force. Seeing this reaction, Rabinus immediately relaxed, "Lord Caesar should act now." So- beat your ballistas harder. ”

On the small tree, more than 20 ballistas, four or five stone throwers, plus the scorpion crossbows on the periphery, fought non-stop, the soldiers of the 12th Legion and the comrades of the 10th Legion (these two legions had experience in working together before) also specially shot out the ammunition wrapped in asphalt and cloth strips, burning fire, and the fire snakes continued to rush out, and the barbarians burned in the passage under the small tree hill under the sun, between the bushes and the woods, but the Helvetians still did not list the small tree mountain as a key target for attack, The two chiefs had told the whole army beforehand that there were only suspicious Roman soldiers at Little Tree Hill, and that the aim of the whole army was to catch up with the main force of the governor of Gaul, and that all the men would take up arms and charge, and the women, old men, and children would take up stones and javelins and guard the baggage wagons.

At this time, the advance of the Helvetians was about ten Roman miles away from Caesar's rear, but it was still much slower because of the fierce side fire of the Twelve Legions.

"What's the mountain ahead?" In the forerunner, Caesar pointed with his horsewhip to a huge cross slope standing two outside the four furlongs on the opposite side, and said to Reax and Dunolex, who were beside him, and that they replied that this was Mount Tijón, beyond which there was Bibrakde, and that we could speed up so that in two day-to-day hours (about an hour and a half) we would reach our target in the front.

"No, call the Seventh and Eighth Corps up Mount Tijon, and then line up along the hillside, the Ninth Corps in the rear escorts the baggage, and goes around to the side to the top of the mountain, and I lead the rest of the Tenth Corps to erup the Eagle Banner at the base of the mountain!" Caesar's words surprised everyone present.

For what, for what is the recent order of His Excellency the Governor-General? This was also the main concern of all the legionnaires who had taken off their baggage and begun to take out their shields and swords in their cloth sheaths, and for a while they would talk about tracking down the barbarians and waiting for the supply of military rations in peace; After a while, he said that the army had run out of food, and that he was going to Bibrakd to get supplies and avoid the barbarians; Now we have to go up to Mount Tijon to prepare for battle, and we will not go to the city of Edui. But doubts and complaints can be buried in the heart, the centurion's cold eyes and the whip and cane that can hit him at any time are a real pain, and after the Seventh and Eighth Legions have formed themselves on the hillside, there is a sound of hula and hula turning, so that they occupy the hillside and aim the front of the battle at the bottom of the mountain.

The Ninth Legion quickly lined up the passage, and the slaves hurried up to the top of the hill with their mules, horses, and baggage, for it was full of legion's funds and the only remaining food, which could not be plundered by the barbarian cavalry. At the foot of the hill, the Tenth Legion stood with the three barbarian auxiliary cavalry, and then all the cavalry, seeing the commander of the Aeduis, Dunorex, being pulled down by the governor's retinue of the rods, was beaten lifelessly.

"You rebellious brother, traitor who betrayed the republic." Caesar's pale eyes became even colder, "You are ready to betray our four legions to the Helvetians, and now remove your command of the attached cavalry, little Crassus, take over the authority of this one, and immediately take all the cavalry with us, and give us time to set up, because in another half of the day, the Helvetians will be killed!"
