- Plato (one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers of Western culture)

When Salah's pursuing cavalry had completely annihilated the blocking cavalry left behind by Juguda, Jugurdah and his remnants had fled without a trace; As a result, the pursuing cavalry gave up the pursuit and returned to the place of battle.

Salah was not disappointed when he learned that Juguda had finally fled with hundreds of cavalry, but only slightly regretted it; In this battle, Salah has won a clean victory, and the loss of the entire army of Juguda is no longer insignificant.

After simply clearing the battlefield, Salah returned to the place where Tuka's army was located with his cavalry and the surrendered Gaturian army; By this time, Tuka's Chengguan Legion had already ended all the battles and cleaned up the battlefield.

After the two armies converged, Tuka truthfully informed Salah of the course of the battle after his departure; Salah lamented the heavy casualties of his light infantry, but he cared more about the formidable combat effectiveness of the Chengguan Corps.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Combined Legion had already been proven during the Mauritania exercise, Salah did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the Chengguan Legion would be so strong; The outcome of this battle is really beyond Salah's imagination.

Excluding the ambush factor, the 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry under the command of Juguda annihilated the 5,000 light infantry of Salah's corps at the cost of less than 1,000 casualties; The 7,000 hoplites of the Chengguan Corps completely annihilated the 6,000 cavalry army under the command of Juguda at the cost of hundreds of casualties, and the contrast between them was enough to shock Salah.

What's more, the strongest combat effectiveness in the entire Combined Legion is definitely this Chengguan Legion from the Augustus family; And it is impossible for the Augustus family to send the strongest legion to North Africa, which shows the strength of the Augustan family.

With such an ally strong enough to defeat Hannibal and his army, and with a large number of elite legions; For the kingdom of Numidia, whether it was a blessing or a curse, who can say clearly?

In any case, the kingdom of Numidia won the war in the end; Therefore, Salah did not show the gloom in his heart, and after praising the Chengguan Corps, Salah began to count the casualties of the battle.

After a day of counting, Salah finally got a detailed casualty report of his own army; Tuka's Chengguan army annihilated the 7,000-foot cavalry army of the Zhuguda army, and the number of casualties paid was only more than 400 people.

In contrast, Salah's army was the main force of 18,000 that completely annihilated the Juguda's army; Among them, Juguda also fled with 500 cavalry, and the surrendered Gaturian army was as high as 7,000, and the actual dead soldiers under Juguda were only about 10,000.

However, the price paid by the Salah army was extremely high, and the 5,000 light infantry of the Salah army was completely annihilated; The remaining hundreds of lightly armed infantry are unlikely to play any role at all, that is, talk is better than nothing.

As for the cavalry of Salah's army, after a fierce battle with the army of Juguda, only about 5,000 cavalry of Salah remained; Among the 5,000 cavalry, there were still a large number of wounded, who needed to rest well before they could regain their combat effectiveness.

In other words, in this battle alone, Juguda's 25,000-strong army was completely wiped out, and Salah's army was basically completely disabled; When the expedition was full, the army of 15,000 was full, and at this time there were 5,000 cavalry to support the scene.

However, the Gaturian army, which fought back on the battlefield, was also a force to be reckoned with; According to Salah's idea, it is better to use those Gaturian troops to replenish the soldiers of his own legion, at least they have combat experience!

After counting the casualties of his army, Salah sent several cavalrymen to return the details of the battle to Numidia proper; At the same time, Salah also began to order the large army to officially march on Dimidi, the capital of the Gaturia region.

Adheba and others were also taken aback when they received the news of Salah's victory; They really didn't expect that Salah would be able to wipe out the Juguda army in one battle, so that the sphere of influence of the Numidian Kingdom would expand by nearly two provinces at once!

Why are there nearly two provinces? Because Salah's army has already taken the province of Gaturia, how can the Sahara Kingdom itself, which has lost the Juguda's army, resist the attack of Salah's army?

It is no exaggeration to say that after Salah led his army to annihilate Juguda's army, the entire western part of the North African continent was already in the pocket of the Numidian Kingdom; In this way, the kingdom of Numidia will once again restore the peak domination range of the four provinces!

Excited, Adheba immediately began to negotiate with the generals about the strategic layout of the Numidian Kingdom and how to reward the generals Salah and Tuka for their great achievements.

For some reason, Salah highlighted the huge role played by the Chengguan Corps in the decisive battle in the news of the victory; And the combat effectiveness of the Chengguan Corps was portrayed as a three-point stronger reality, which shocked Adheba and others.

However, none of these things can be said on the surface; The first thing Adheba had to do was to reward Salah and Tuka, who had made great contributions to the battle, and the army under their command.

In addition, the idea expressed by Salah in the message that he wanted to replenish the Garturian army to Salah's corps, Adheba also immediately agreed; After that, Adheba also personally transferred 3,000 elites of the Ahmet Legion to supplement Salah.

In this way, Salah's legion could be restored to its original strength of 15,000 in an instant; As for the 3,000 soldiers vacant in Ahmet's legion, Adheba directly transferred the troops of General Alaiamas stationed in Mauritania to Ahmed.

Originally, Adheba set up the Aleyamas Legion to prevent the Kingdom of Gaturia from attacking his Mauritania; Now that the situation in the western part of the entire North African continent has stabilized, the role of the Aleyamas Corps is gone, and it will naturally be supplemented to the front-line combat units to play a role.

Of course, Adheba did not mean to treat Aleamas badly; After all, Bashirek, who was once at the same level as Alaiamas, was the commander of the cavalry corps, so how could Adheba let Alaiamas continue to be just an ordinary general?

Therefore, at the same time as ordering the Alaiamas Legion to be merged into the Ahmed Legion, Adheba also appointed Alaiamas as the corps adjutant general of the Ahmad Legion; Such an appointment can be regarded as a promotion of Alaiamas.

After careful consultation, Adheba finally rewarded Salah with the appointment of Salah as governor of the province of Gaturia in the kingdom of Numidia and acting governor of the Sahara; In other words, Adheba temporarily handed over the two newly occupied provinces of the Numidian Kingdom to Salah for management, which can be regarded as a real reward.

However, along with the bounty comes Salah's latest mission; After careful deliberation with Ahmed, Adheba decided that Salah would continue to garrison the border between the Kingdom of Numidia and Tripoli with the replenished Salah legion.

This also means that Salah's future task is to lead his 15,000-strong Salah army to confront the 15,000-strong army of the Kingdom of Libya stationed in the Tripoli region; In fact, this is one of Adheba's established strategies.

After the Kingdom of Numidia took the entire western part of the North African continent, it did not have the strength to attack Carthage in a short period of time; Therefore, the kingdom of Numidia had to gather strength to deal with the alliance between the kingdoms of Carthage and Libya.

While accumulating strength, it was naturally impossible for the Numidian Kingdom to relax its vigilance against the Kingdom of Carthage and the Kingdom of Libya; The native army of the Kingdom of Carthage, Adheba, was given to the Combined Legion and the Ahmet Legion to defend.

Then the Tripoli army of the Kingdom of Libya, Adheba can only be handed over to the Salah army to defend; Originally, Adheba still had a trace of doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Salah army, but after this battle, Adheba no longer had any doubts.

As for the arrangements for the Chengguan Corps, Adheba still decided to transfer the Chengguan Corps back to the Combined Corps; After all, the Chengguan Legion is a powerful legion composed of 7,000 strong hoplites, and it can't exert its combat effectiveness in the two southern provinces, so it is better to be transferred back.

If the Kingdom of Numidia really wants to go to war with the Kingdom of Carthage, the huge role that these 7,000 hoplites can play, Adheba can be regarded as having a bottom in his heart; Of course, there is another issue involved.

In this war against Juguda, the credit of Tuka and his Chengguan Corps was enormous; However, in view of Tuka's special status and the special status of the Chengguan Corps, Adheba could not give them a specific reward, which is also where Adheba had no choice.

In the end, Adheba solved this problem by rewarding Tuka himself with gold, silver, and jewelry, and by giving a large number of war horses to the Augustus family; According to Adheba's understanding, this can be regarded as the gratitude of the Kingdom of Numidia to the Augustan family.

After receiving Adheba's appointment, Salah calmly accepted Adheba's new task of replenishing his troops and deploying them to Salah's corps; However, Salah politely declined the appointment of governor of the province of Gaturia and the governor of the Sahara province.

Salah's reason is also very simple, he is just a pure soldier, he does not know how to manage the provinces, he can only march and fight; In addition, his focus will be on the confrontation with the army of the Kingdom of Libya, and he will not have the time and energy to manage the provincial government affairs.
