Chapter 138: The Big Fish Fierce Duel

After Pompey's army landed in Brutia, it marched inland and finally reached the front of the trench.

Former colleagues, now the two armies are facing each other, and the battle is about to break out.

The scout came to report, although the trench was wide but very shallow, Pompey smiled contemptuously, Cloula really is not a war material, this trick wants to stop his 20,000 iron army? An attack was immediately ordered.

After Pompey's vanguard army entered the water, Crulla ordered the archers behind the wall to start the first shot kill. The soldiers who entered the water fell into the deep ditch one after another, were entangled in aquatic weeds and vines, and finally surfaced to the surface and were immediately shot.

The army was hindered and retreated to the shore, and after making some preparations, they went into the water again, holding a driftwood for every ten people, and one fell down and the others came to the aid in time, which allowed Pompey's army to advance half the way.

Cthulla still ordered the archers to shoot at a distance and spears at close range, using the wall as a cover.

After the death of the second group of soldiers, Pompey again changed the offensive strategy.

The third time, under a dense rain of arrows, Pompey ordered his soldiers to fill the trench with dirt and branches, and finally reached the wall, having lost nearly half of his troops.

Cthulla ordered his soldiers to stand on the wall and pour oil downward, the archers attacked with rockets, and for a moment the infantrymen behind the wall slashed every enemy who broke through the line into the trenches, and the archers did not miss any fish that slipped through the net in the distance.

The battle lasted for a long time, was unusually difficult, and was almost paved with corpses.

After Pompey broke through the defensive line, there were only a few thousand soldiers left behind him, and the opponent was at least three times as large as himself.

Pompey yelled at Cthulla, "Cthulla, I'm going to duel you!" If I win, you let us go, and if you win, I'll do whatever you want.

You're a knight, and you can't refuse my dueling request! ”

Sursula hesitated, Pompey made such a request because he had the victory ticket in hand, if he took it and let Pompey go, it would delay the fighter, and 'Maurice' would definitely be punished by military law, and he would never give it for a while.

"Cthulla, you coward, coward! You dare not take me, the duel of the 'great' Pompey, you are not worthy of the title of knight! ”

''Even if you go to war, as long as you still have breath, I will save you!'' Don't forget, I'm a witch! Cthulla remembered what the witch had said before leaving, had she expected it?

"Yes, I agree to a duel with you, and I will win or lose a fight." C'Sura took on the challenge, and no matter what, he would do his best.

The two engaged in a duel in front of the battle like two gladiators, and unexpectedly, Cthulla won despite his disgraced body.

Cthulla held the sword in his hand and pointed at Pompey, a victory that benefited from the witch's protection.

"Pompey, you've lost!"

"Oh no! Cthulla, my friend, you can't do this to an old friend! Leave me alone, I'll retreat myself, I'll go back to Spain, and I promise never to set foot in Rome again. Pompey said as he retreated, his fleet was still docked on the coast of Messina, his main overseas force was still there, and he would make a comeback.

Cthulla watched as Pompey led the rest of his army, slowly retreating to the edge of the trench, and did not give the order for a long time.

The "bang" string sounded and the arrow came out, and a sharp arrow roared towards Pompey in the distance, hitting the back of the heart.

Cthulla looked at the 'Maurice' who appeared next to him at some point, and wondered,

“…… Don't you appreciate his talent? ”

"Ha, does he have any talent worthy of my appreciation? It's too old and ugly! ”

Pompey is not yet forty years old, is he very old? The dream lover in the hearts of the noble ladies of the city of Rome turned out to be so disgusted!

"What are you thinking? Pompey's ships on the seashore have been controlled by me, give the order, take the opportunity to take Sicily, where Pompey's forces are. “

Hearing that Pompey had been killed, the Sicilian defenders surrendered without any resistance.

Sursula sent messengers to Rome as soon as possible to deliver the message, while waiting for the receiver of Sicily to come and make the handover. 'Maurice' disappeared again.

By the time Chang'an arrived at Serbas's camp, Grace's matter had already been settled.

In the most traditional way, the two came to a fair gladiatorial fight, as they had fought countless times on the battlefield, in the arena.

Grace lost.

In the name of the king, Serbas announced that General Grace had been mortally wounded and died in resistance to Pompey's elite army, and that one hundred and thirty-two of his men had sworn to die for their death.

The king conquered the southern provinces and submitted to the new dynasty, so that Rome itself was brought into the hands of the new government formed by King Serbas.

After the local power was stabilized, the Serbas sent troops to gradually regain the overseas power.

When he arrived in Rome, Chang'an finally received a system prompt that the task was completed.

"100% mission completion, mission completed. Earn 800 points, do you leave the mission world? ”

"No."
