Chapter 7 Order (Part 2)

"I personally took the Fifth Legion to the Isthmus of Corinth. God told me that my destiny tomb was in Delphi, not in Rhodes!" Kassio shouted loudly, and shouted to the generals and entourages in the tent, "As for the siege of the remaining enemies of Rhodes, I will entrust my deputy generals to do it."

At this moment, in the villa of Pulaima, where the clouds were low, the water in the siphon trough in front of the fish pond was still flowing, and the water was shining brightly. In the sparkling pavilion, Li Bida held a gilded baton in his hand, while Paruma and Leo stood on both sides of him respectively.

"Now I will hand over this baton to my son Leo. Although you are a senior municipal magistrate, you will return to Rome to perform the duties of this duty after you have destroyed the murderers- and little pigeon, you will be responsible for Leo's assistant work this time, and I will hand over all four legions in Brindisi to you. This time you will go alone for the first time, Leo - you cannot be self-dedicated, you must join forces with all the commanders of the army and the chief centurion,

Only then can you issue an order, but you must also remember that even the deputy general or provincial finance officers are your subordinates. You are the joint authorization of the Senate and the Executive Yuan and are the agents of my high priest. Therefore, even if you are confused and puzzled, don’t show it in the joint meeting. You should hide your true thoughts and don’t speak rashly. You can communicate with your peers such as Little Dove, Agripa and Lucius in private. Do you understand if you don’t know what I said?”

"Yes, I will regard this baton as the master, as the incarnation of my father, and work diligently and command these four legions." Leo finished speaking. He bent his waist and stepped forward respectfully. He took the gilded baton from his father's hand respectfully, and then carefully hung it on his waist.

"Little pigeon, the new cavalry army is still you and General Dussenvier as commanders. In addition, I will also assign Hanske to you to serve as the scout's eyes, but your duty is to assist Leo in full combat." The high priest then turned his eyes to Parumma and said.

"Of course, my father, I will use all my blood and life to protect Leo's safety. I am the sword in your hand, and then Leo's hand, and will definitely crush all enemies!" Paruma knelt down in front of her adoptive father, swearing with confidence.

Then Leo asked with concern, "Why, are you in Rome?"

"No, I'll leave Rome to Paulus and Barcatus and others. I'll leave here the 14th and 6th Legions brought by Anthony from Shannan Gaul, guarding the capital of the country, and I'll set out tomorrow on a ship. Go to Cyrani - I'll command the main force of the fleet and the three legions that have already arrived. From the south to attack the Brutu coalition, those three legions were not my own before, so I have to take charge of the command in person to work - I'll entrust you to the new Leus Legion, don't let me down. All the decisive battles end in the next two months."

"Everything we do is for the Emilius family, for the father, for the glory of the country and the family." After saying that, Paruma, Leo and their father raised their glasses, said this in unison, and then met and drank it all.

The Etolia cavalry, the vanguard of Brutu, had galloped and fought with the forty-two of Lucius and the forty-three legions. "We are the fearless Etolia alliance. All the soldiers in the Epirus area were our servants. When we were playing with swords, they were still paddling wooden oars on the sea!" With this slogan, the tribe commander of the Etolia cavalry, Sinesis, the bay leaves on the helmets fluttered in the wind, and more than 4,000 elite Etolia cavalry formed a wall formation, which shone with dark clouds in the sky, swept the plains by the Apsus River, and whistled one after another - they were in this way to connect with each other, and the sound of iron hooves boiled the river water.

Lucius's cavalry also rushed out of the temporary fortifications, and the remaining light and heavy infantry were mixed in the formation wings, using javelins and shields to fight against the Ettorian cavalry. Both sides refused to give in and fought in a mess.

"Call the Second Legion and the Third Legion to press forward." Brutu, who was watching the battle behind, was covered in a navy blue cloak and ordered.

Then, about ten thousand Brutufang soldiers were all wearing fine linen armor and breastplate, with shining shattered gems embedded on the shields and sword hilts. When the stars sank and the morning light rose, they stepped on the thin snow and rushed towards Lucius's position unstoppable. Soon the javelin, sword and spear showed their might. The broad battle lines of both sides bit each other together, trembling violently, fighting, the harsh military horns and trumpets almost shocked the ears to the bleeding!

In this way, both sides suffered heavy losses. When it reached the Japanese-Chinese moment, Agripa came with the 17th and 18th legions, cleverly took over Lucius's battle formation through the cover of the winter camp, continued to fight with Brutu, and took the opportunity to advance, repelling three Furlongs from the already exhausted enemy legions and killing hundreds of people.

So Brutu replaced the rest of the legions, and Agripa arranged the team into a dense fish-scale formation that could support each other, taking turns to fight, fighting until the sunset that day, before retreating to the camp.

The battle that day, both sides suffered comparable losses, but Agripa's command was obviously more clever, which made Brutu feel what Sibalas said to him before, "Turinus with folded wings is a swan bird, but perhaps the one who succeeded him was an eagle."

Agripa is not greedy for money, values ​​affection and righteousness, has talent and meticulousness. Such people are usually the hardest to be bought, but at this moment, they are "trapped" by Li Bida without spending a single Asi with a sense of responsibility and appointment - he must put out twelve points of energy and enthusiasm to guard the defense line of the Apsus River with all his might, waiting for the arrival of Li Bida's army.

That night, a letter was delivered to Brutu, written by the young Agripa, "From today's battle, all the soldiers of your army are well-armed and have high morale. This shows that although you had robbed the military funds used by His Excellency Caesar to fight Dacia, you did not spend them on yourself, but sent them all to your subordinates. You are really an excellent general and an enemy. I sincerely admire you. However, in the current situation, your army has a slim chance of victory. When the sea route is smooth next year, it can be said that the defeat has been decided and the wise and foolish know it. Why don't you surrender as soon as possible? In this way, your army and all Greek cities will be free from the destruction of war and looting, and the people will be free from the sorrow of slavery."

"A bastard, the fluff on his lips has probably not been cut off yet!" Brutu was very angry. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
