Chapter 19 Strong Yue (1)

"He was like walking towards an elephant and begging for a copper coin." - Augustus teased a hesitant unrepentant.

To be honest, Syketus, who obtained this information, was in a swaying and hesitant mood - his father-in-law's fleet was defeated in the Balearic Islands, Lipo himself was besieged on the island of Saxoth, and the barbarian king of the Spanish Hesparis tribe of the Pompeii Party, led two legions to quickly withdraw between Corduba and Ursau. The brother Rous to the north had only three legions, and he also sent back the only regular legion.

But even so, there were only three legions in hand and about twenty brigade auxiliary soldiers of the barbarians. Li Bida had at least three or four legions in each strategic direction, so it was impossible to rely on the city cliff group to implement maneuver attack and elastic defense" is Syketus' current strategy.

Now this information clearly shows that the legion of the high priest Libida is trying to meet with the seven legions of Petternius who broke through the Balearic Islands, and then followed the direction of Sagantan and broke into Ursau.

Now even Machius, the engineering director beside him, breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, our time and enemy time will be more abundant, but now time may be more precious to us."

However, Seketus was still pondering. It was not the first time he and Li Bida fought. He knew deeply that this character was treacherous and weird. The other party's current behavior should be the most reasonable - he had an absolute military advantage, as long as he could meet with the seven legions from the sea. He attacked Ursau and Korduba head-on, and even if he could not win for three months, he could completely take all his goals into his pocket in half a year - but the more reasonable it was, the more it made Seketus dare not take it lightly, but he felt at a loss. That is, if Li Bida really had a conspiracy, how should he deal with it.

What's more, the intelligence network he set up in other cities has not yet sent intelligence on the real movements of Li Bida's army. In the war, trusting unilateral intelligence is always dangerous.

Thinking of this, Seketus slowly walked out of the tent of the matter with distress. He saw the highest peak on the Nevada Mountain in the north, the white glacier snow fields were shining with beautiful light, and the snow water flowed down from the mountain stream, giving birth to forests and wild flowers all over the mountains, and also brought the fertile plowing fields and lush towns below the foothills. This is the most important part of the entire Spanish province. "My father fought for the honor of his family back then." Seketus looked at the beautiful picture in front of him, and then saw the

The pony in front of his camp and the weapon hanging on the saddle - the Cagliar Battle Axe. Then he shouted and stepped on his flexible and gentle mount, and ran around the camp and the rivers outside Ursau. "Don't worry about it. Do it all. Maybe the miracle will happen in unintentional circumstances. Maybe soon Brutu and Kassi will make a magical reversal in the Greek war zone. Anyway, I will try my best to hold Li Bida's main force here. The longer the better, the better, it's better for three months, four months, or even half a year."

"Hey, Machius. Now you will camp on the mountain road leading to our army camp with four brigades of auxiliary troops. Build fortresses on both sides and in the center to prevent the enemy's sneak attacks." Finally, Seyx still set his sight on the mountain road in Mount Nevada.

At this time, Li Bida's five thousand surprise attack troops were taking advantage of the night, holding a pine-ming torch, winding down the corridor and starting to march towards the southern foot. The high priest himself carried the same clothes as soldiers and climbed together in the queue. Each soldier was equipped with a military slave, two soldiers were equipped with a local Spanish mountain mule. According to the standards of Rome, there were ten people in a camp, eight people were fighters, two were military slaves in charge of logistics, and ten people were equipped with a mule. In addition, the entire surprise attack troops were equipped with an additional eight hundred pack beasts to transport the remaining supplies. Now Li Bida has completely invested in logistics supply for the surprise attack.

"There is no hesitation or staying at all. It is too easy to be exposed here. Climb with all your strength. When it is sunrise in the morning, we have to climb halfway up the mountain before resting." The centurion waved his fists one after another, inspiring his soldiers. This plan was formulated by Colora's disciples and guides.

The soldiers in front pulled out their swords and saws and tried their best to cut thorns and shrubs. They wanted to open the paths that goats walked on weekdays into roads for the team to move forward. The ones behind them held anything that could be taken, stones, trees, grass, etc., arched their bodies and climbed up, and led mountain mules to death. In this case, they might be more precious than human life.

The entire team "has rise higher and higher". When the morning light spreads all over the hillside, they were so tired that they finally rested on the spot on a platform halfway up the mountain, but the team still did not allow fire to cook, so they could only take out some dried wheat cakes from their backpacks and drink them in cold water. "If this is not allowed, it will cause dysentery." The guide raised this topic in time, so the cold water was cancelled, and the sheep cheese stored in advance was very popular. Just as they were about to continue marching in the afternoon, the sun suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the clouds were

The whole hillside was covered with the entire hillside. Soon, within ten Roman rulers around it, it was difficult to see food clearly. The wind blew, and the plants and trees on the hillside were rolling and undulating in the strong wind. "Dig a pit, dig a pit, you can't build a tent!" So the soldiers could only grit their teeth and began to dig pits on the hard mountain. After digging their own, they had to dig animals. Then they carried weapons and equipment, pulled the animals and poured them into the pit, covered them with leather, and the high priest set an example - he and two mules lived in the same pit for a whole night.

The next day, after the wind slowly calmed down, the leather and shields were lifted up. The soldiers looked relatively relaxed in their expressions, climbing out of the shallow pit, gathered in front of the team bidding, and continued to move in line with the queue and order. "This is just the beginning, and the difficulties are far more than these."

The roots of the glacier are bare ground with almost no vegetation. The team is suffering due to the lack of oxygen in the plateau area and is extremely slow to move. The military slaves and soldiers are wrapped in cloaks from head to toe to resist the cold wind that is not in line with the season. Thanks to Leo's timely dispatch, the soldiers basically meet the soldiers' needs for survival. When camping at night, the soldiers began to cut the leather into strips with a knife, ignite the fire to keep warm. They can directly see the stars shrouded on their heads from all directions, as if they could touch them with one hand.

As a result, when the march continued, I found that there had been abatement. Some people died quietly and some could no longer walk forward. According to previous experience in fighting in Gaul, Li Bida ordered all the patients to concentrate in the leeward depression, set up tents, help each other, wait for the rescue of the people behind, and leave them with sufficient food to prevent accidents.
