Augustus Road

So Telureas' army, after abandoning their camp, marched for about sixteen Roman miles. Their fleet was half destroyed, most of the cavalry had abandoned their mounts, and many of the infantry did not even carry equipment. , many people only wore a helmet, followed by two javelins and daggers, stumbling and complaining, approaching the town of Gabra. ¤The top novel,

Without exception, the city of Gebra also defended itself with its gates. Thousands of Spanish troops swarmed onto the coast in chaos, and then their fleet also sailed over in chaos, "erected wooden fences and seized the "Gaoqiu, organize a defense line. Our fleet has not yet arrived to respond, and the enemy's pursuers may come at any time." Trureas ordered all the centurions, but the entire army had already lost its due coordination and order. , people were shouting and coming and going everywhere.

At this time, Lepidus' army, which had plenty of spare time, also appeared in the wilderness in front of Gabra. Paluma was still in charge of all the cavalry, arrayed in front, advancing slowly like a wall, flags fluttering, and horses neighing. , "Let me win a great victory for my father and celebrate this year's Diana Festival!" The little pigeon shouted to the cavalry captain beside him, and then he saw across the river, the only remaining strength of the Spanish army on the opposite side. , just as the deer camp was lined up along the river bank to resist, he took the lead without hesitation, leading the German cavalry to rush over like a wave, stepping on the jumping water, and then jumped off the horse in front of the deer camp, holding up his long sword. There was a scuffle with the spears and the enemy troops who rushed out to resist.

All the people fighting were fighting on the muddy water and land. Many people's clothes, armors and logos were stained with blood and mud, and there was no distinction between the enemy and ourselves. Paluma held the sword. Limping, he fought hand-to-hand with the surrounding enemies - many of them saw that he was wearing a general's cloak. But his body was obviously disabled, so he tried to bully him, but was chopped down by Paluma one by one - because the elite soldiers of Telureas had never been able to get effective rest after marching and fighting in the past few days. With supplies and supplies, he was already exhausted. While killing one of Lebid's cavalry, he often had to pay the price of killing and wounding several people.

"Gallius. Charge forward with the reserve team and completely break through the river defense line." There was a clang of swords and an exciting sound of trumpets. Galius led the chief brigade of the Seventh Army, with archers on both wings. Under the cover of the enemy, they also crossed the river and massacred the enemies in front of them. In the end, the Spanish army was completely defeated. All four legions were gathered between the city of Gebra and the coast, and the wounded were everywhere. The cries rose to the sky.

Next, Galius and Paluma. All the captured Muzha and Luzhai were pulled out and rearranged along the front line in the direction of their own army. Then the cavalry artillery, scorpion crossbows, archers, and slingers of the Lepidus Army came up as reinforcements and faced Tlulay. The Yas army's position was shooting wildly.

By the end of the war, the First Army and the Fourth Army, which Trureas served as vanguard protection, had lost thousands of men, and when they abandoned the camp, they threw away all their heavy equipment, which was a shameless attack on Lepidus' army. There is no way to fight back with a long-range attack.

"Hold on for a little longer, and the fleet from Lilibi will be here to meet you soon!" This was Trureas's last resort to boost morale.

After nightfall, Lepidus ordered the entire army to build blockades in a leisurely manner, and arranged dense sentries to monitor the enemy. He also opened a tunnel to reach the city of Gebra, and responded to the situation by sealing all the enemies on the coast. narrow area.

In addition, Lepidus once again sent an envoy, asking Telureas to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise "I will slaughter you and your tribe, throw all the corpses into the sea, and sacrifice them to the god Neptune." He will still march to Sicily, chop off Aquila's head, and sacrifice it to the god Venus." This time Lepidus' words were no longer as polite as before, but full of violence and intimidation.

Trureas hesitated, but most of his centurions and tribunes couldn't stand it and asked the commander-in-chief to surrender, because it was impossible to cross to Sicily with the current fleet, most of which lacked provisions and Repairs were abandoned on the way, or they were severely damaged and sunk by the artillery fire of Lepidus' army; and the fleet counting on Lilibi was indeed the established target, but the question is why have they not come yet? Perhaps by the time they arrive, our corpses will already be floating all over Gebra's bay.

"We will resist for another day tomorrow, and then I will give everyone an answer." This was Telureas's decision in the end.

The next day, when the morning sun rose unrestrainedly over the sea, the fog on the entire sea dissipated, and corpses and wounded lay for several furlongs on the coast of Gebra. The remaining people crowded into the narrow area, watching helplessly. Looking at the sea, looking forward to the arrival of the friendly fleet.

But Marcus's fleet did weigh anchor three days ago, but its destination was not Gebra at all, but the port of Kalaris...

Finally, at the third quarter of the day, the sea was choppy, and a large number of ships came from all directions. However, the cheers at the Trureas camp were short-lived, because when they got closer, they all realized that these ships were All hung with purple sails, and soon fired crossbows and flames, destroying and burning their already very weak fleet one by one. In the billowing fireworks, the men and women of Teluleas were running and rushing, and behind Lepidus' barrier blockade, the infantry and cavalry covered all the cavalry artillery and rumbled up.

After a round of shooting, Tellurias could no longer bear it, and he announced that everyone would give up resistance and surrender.

"I was betrayed by this shameful guy Aquila!"

In addition to the dead and seriously injured in the four legions, there were 15,000 people who surrendered. In addition to the surrender of the two auxiliary legions before, Lepidus easily collected 20,000 prisoners, but he obviously did not intend to take all of them: Lepidus, like Caesar at the time, issued appropriate travel expenses to all those who had families in Spain, and promised to provide ships for their dismissal; but those who were willing to continue serving were incorporated.

Even so, in the end, there were 10,000 elite soldiers under Lepidus's command. Lepidus organized them into two new legions. "Cassius previously formed the first and third legions in Lusitania. In order to express my hatred for him, I will continue to retain these two numbers, but I will turn these soldiers into Cassius' nightmare and his enemy." Lepidus said this to Telluras who came to surrender.

After hearing this, Telluras finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lepidus was not ready to sacrifice him to the gods.

"But, General Telluras, I can forgive you and your men, but in the upcoming Sicily campaign, you have to take the first and third legions and take the lead." However, Lepidus would never do a loss-making business. This is his principle. (To be continued...)
