Chapter 9 Surrounding with Less (Part 2)

As a result, Caesar was unable to "survey" Anthony's position at all, because as soon as he arrived there, Anthony's army was attacked inside and outside - on the front there were attacking troops commanded by Rabinus, and on the back there were two Macedonian provincial legions that were originally induced to leave but are now killed.

When Caesar lowered his body and climbed Anthony's command post at the core hill, he found that he was commanding the recruits of the Twentieth Legion how to dig trenches. With the arrows falling like rain, An hid under the slanted wooden board, pointing and touching, the wooden boards were so dense that they could not even reach into their fingers.

"You should organize defense and counterattack, rather than paying attention to the construction of fortifications!" Caesar also came to the back of the wooden board and shouted loudly to Anthony.

"Anyway, I have to do these things, I can't escape." Anthony explained so, and then he realized that Dick Thidd was next to him, so he hurriedly gave a gesture. At this moment, a burst of screams came. They leaned down and looked down. Rabinus's elite soldiers had already broken through to the foot of the mountain. The soldiers of the Twentieth Legion were all rookies. They failed to defend the wooden fence, but ran towards the mountain without any purpose. So Rabinus' soldiers shouted, pushing down the wooden fence with shields, or chopping them down with swords, filling them in the ravine, and then crossed over to pursue them.

Before Caesar could remind him, Anthony jumped away, grabbed the trumpet from the trumpeter beside him, blew it up, and then shouted, "The 16th Legion stationed in the south, come here and fight back the enemy in front of him!"

Hearing the sound of horns, the 16th Legion, which was originally monitoring and defending the two enemy legions in the south, Kretas and Faubinas were immediately stunned. If the 16th Legion ran over there to reinforce, what should the enemy come here?

But he couldn't care about so much. Li Bida was very strict in his army. On the battlefield, everything was based on the commander's orders, and there was no need to hesitate. Kretas said nothing and put the Thrace helmet on his head, "I'll leave the legion flag to you!" He shouted to Faobinas, and then led the legion chief brigade and a archer brigade, flying up the back slope. At this moment, Rabinus' soldiers also climbed up the right slope all over the mountains, and Caesar and Anthony were sandwiched on the middle ridge line on both sides.

"It's too late, just shoot!" Kreitas ordered a brigade of archers raised the golden fly flag, quickly lined up a horizontal line, and quickly blew up the bow and arrows on the back slope, and quickly shot out a wave of arrow feathers into the sky. The arrows directly crossed the heads of Caesar and Anthony, and then fell down one after another, falling into Rabinus's storm formation. Immediately, the ground was full of casualties, and the opponent's offensive was disrupted. Then the chief brigade of the 16th Legion rushed up in time, shouted together, violently threw light hunting spears to the enemy who had not yet reacted, and then erected the spears to form a porcupine formation, and suppressed them like thunder. In this way, Rabinus' soldiers could not bear it anymore. They were defeated in a mess. On the way back, they were blocked by the scattered wooden fences and trenches, and were killed by Kreitas.

After defeating Rabinus, Anthony asked the recruits of the Twentieth Legion to stop panic, "Let's go back and continue to stick to the post in Muzha. You have shown the ugly situation of defeat to our dictator just now. Don't have another second!"

When the soldiers of the Twentieth Legion saw their behavior just now, they felt even more uncomfortable than death in battle. They plucked up their courage again, picked up their weapons, and rushed back to the Muzha without saying a word. Then, under the several subsequent attacks of Rabinus, these new recruits were able to calm down and repel a large number of enemies one after another. The Muzha and the trench were completed.

There, Cretas did not stop at all, and flew with his team like a flying person. Regardless of his fatigue, he ran towards the original position of the Sixteenth Legion. When passing the command post, Caesar shouted to Cretas, "Please stay for the time being, you must let the commander know the name of his warriors."

"I don't have time!" Kretas replied without looking back, then ran back and fought, helping the commander of the legion to repel the offensive of the two enemy legions in the south.

Three days later, Caesar's army miraculously successfully built a blockade that stretched for twenty-five Rome and surrounded Cocura, and truly realized the strategy of "surrounding more with less".

"In the Hall of Julia, Akuta was posted in front of the Grand Plaza. It means that Pompei's main army in Greece, with a total of 100,000 people, has been defeated by me by the few, surrounded by the city of Cocura, and there is no way to escape. The day of their destruction is ready." Caesar expressed the content to the clerk and financial officer beside him. Yes, he exaggerated it, but wasn't it the case in strategic public opinion? Then, the Roman dictator slowly walked out of the hill where he was in charge and came to the front line. Then he saw that Rabinus's fortifications had also been completed, twenty-four towers, the walls and trenches long in the fifteenth Roman Empire, and the intersection with Caesar, one outer circle and the other inner circle.

Caesar suddenly felt a malice in his heart.

He felt uncomfortable, maybe he was really deceiving himself. In Rabinus's defense circle, there were fleets and large forest grasslands for grazing. Can he eat the other party? Or the other party eats himself.

At this time, the confidential slave sent him a letter, "Sepia from Pompeii's side had already crossed the sea to Greece with three legions."

"The three legions of Libidaus, who were desperate to stop Scipio!" Caesar said briefly.

"Absurd, 20,000 people besiege forty thousand people, and 20,000 enemies attacked on the periphery. It was ridiculous!" When the battle situation on the outside was submitted to Li Bida, he slapped the letter on the table and then shouted to all the deputy generals, "Our dictator is asking for trouble. His ambitions and appetite are too great. Even if I can block Scipio's men, he cannot eat Rabinus."

When Sabo said to him carefully that the plan was proposed by Anthony, Li Bida stared at him and retorted, "Who is it, what kind of stupid person can teach Anthony such a tactical policy that is overestimating his ability?"

So Sabo and others shut up and stopped talking.

Li Bida sat at the table, thinking about it, and then he used his fingers to lie on the table, "I originally thought that after Scipio got ashore, he would go directly to the Aegonatia Avenue to attack Caesar; but now, since he has collected so much taxes in Xiaoya, he will definitely make a big fuss in Macedonia and Athens after crossing the sea. This guy is such a villain, greedy and lustful. In addition, he has always regarded himself as Pompey's father-in-law, and it is impossible for him to petition and hurry to accept the command of Rabinus so quickly."
