The soldiers cut down the pine wood, riveted them with iron nails into the shape of a fence of seven and a half roman feet, and then sharpened the bottom with swords and tools, inserted them deeply into the soft sand, and tied them closely together with ropes, setting up a curved line of defense. Then the soldiers waved picks and shovels, dug two trenches in front of the fence, introduced the river water next to them, filled the basket with soil, and transported them to the back of the fence.

, along the fence, it was piled up into a high-down slope - so that a temporary platform was actually formed behind the fence, with curtains, shields, javelins and pine lights hanging on wooden stakes for use by guardian soldiers. Karabis divided the troops into three waves, one to defend on stage, the other to rest and rest in the back as reserve force, and the other to the most selected veterans, led by Tagus, hidden in the pine forest hillside.

"This is really a standard blockade line, and even the doors that attack are left at the corner." Milu and Karabis said, standing on the earth platform, holding the wooden stakes. The entire barrier is in a "concave" shape leaning against each other, and the doors entering and leaving are open on one side, and it is difficult for the enemy to discover on the front.

Karabis was always a little nervous. He rubbed his hands and began to ask Milu. Although he was confused by Claudi's staying there, Katilin should not be stagnant for too long. Perhaps in a day, his army would come to this pass. Katilin and Manius now have two sufficient legions, plus the auxiliary and baggage personnel, which is probably no less than 20,000. It is a big question whether 800 new recruits can resist this blockade.

"Do you need to build a road and wall later?" Milu suggested.

Looking at the soldiers sitting and lying on the ground under the slopes and resting due to extreme fatigue, Karabis sighed and said no, "If there is another wall, I am afraid that the soldiers will no longer have the energy to deal with the upcoming battle. Finally, Karabis said, "Now, we can only hope that Kathirin really takes this path. Claudi can really implement the plan of tickling."

"It doesn't matter, war is always a game of gods, and I can only rely on good luck. However, Karabis, I think your analysis of Katilin's march route will not be wrong. Mars and Bellower will protect us." Milu said with a very affirmative tone, widened his light blue eyes.

The sea water went back and forth, repeatedly tossing and noisy. It swept the sandy land on the shore. The next day when they got up in the morning. When they lined up according to the certain rules, several soldiers who served as guards shouted, "There is something, and there is something!" Karabis and other generals immediately ran along the slope to the fence platform. In a mountain outside Furlong, a umbrella pine with a flag of flame slowly fell down - this was a signal sent by the vanguards who were pre-arranged there and monitoring the passers-by signaling that the enemy's advance army was close to each other!

"Hey, give an order!" Several centurions surrounded Karabis.

"Come up the camp flag, and a wave of people guarding the platform, and a wave of people went out to form a formation." Karabis waved his hand and shouted.

"Doududududu." The majestic horn sounded. The soldiers of the two regiments took steps, blew the trumpets, and formed a formation in the open space between the trenches and barriers. At this time, Katilin's advance troops also appeared in the sight of Karabis and others. A group of Gaul mercenary cavalry carrying elliptical shields, plus some light-armed stragglers, seemed to be responsible for the avant-garde scouts.

The expression of a rebel centurion on the horse's back caught Karabis's eyes, which was quite surprised. Unexpectedly, the road to Liguria was cut off by a Neruda army. Moreover, there were six large brigades of troops guarding this pass!

It is not a mistake for the centurion to make a mistake in judgment, because he really couldn't see how much troops the other party actually had through the barrier, but there were indeed six brigade flags with different numbers on the barrier, which were all pre-borrowed by Karabis.

"Fire!" At this time, a torsional crossbow on the platform suddenly tilted out a wave of gravel bombs. The rebel scout immediately exploded the neighing of the people. Several guys who did not hold shields were cut off from all parts of their bodies by stones, blooming with gorgeous blood mist, and rolling to the ground. "Oh oh oh!" The soldiers of the two regiments under the barrier shouted and knocked on their shields with fighting swords, trying to make a big intimidating cry.

Katilin's scout team was frightened and turned around collectively, shouted at the mount, ran back, and quickly disappeared from sight.

"Will the army of Katilin come to attack?"

Milu looked at Karabis and analyzed: "If Claudi's team followed him, he could only strive to capture our barriers in a very short time, otherwise his army would be blocked in this narrow pass, blocked from front to back, and completely annihilated - so, I guess - immediately, Katilin and Manius would either tactfully return and take Pikenum; or they would send the most elite vanguard troops to attack us."

About half a moment later, or when the huge golden eagle flag that Mario had used appeared in the eyes of all soldiers of Karabis's barrier, Karabis's heart twisted: Milu's second judgment became a fact.

Under the Eagle were Katilin and Manius in purple robes and armor, as well as a few circles of armed slaves and followers, who tightly guarded the symbol of power of the Roman legion. As for the rebels in the rear, they were all not worth mentioning, and they were all slaves who did not even have armor or weapons, holding iron sticks, daggers and wooden spears, free people and foreigners, all of them, but they were just for the sake of making up for the numbers.

However, what makes people scared is the neat five wings, two in front of the Eagle Banner, all with tight armor and shields, and the legion soldiers with sword fighting were vaguely looking at them from afar. Many of them were still gray-headed - this is right, they are definitely veterans of the Former Sula army that Etruscan re-sold!

It seems that Katilin has indeed invested in the most precious elite, veteran of his army. He is ready to smash my defense in one go.

In the blue sea and the shining of the sky, the noble golden light of the "Simbri" eagle flag is particularly eye-catching, giving the other party an invisible sense of oppression. Karabis's breathing became a little confused, and he also clearly felt the timidity and confusion in his subordinates' hearts: no matter what, although these guys on the other side are old, they are all monsters crawling out of the dead on the battlefield for decades. The experience and ruthlessness are definitely not something that my rookies now can match.

As for the six camp flags, it would be fine if they deceived and scared the other party, but they didn't scare Katilin, the madman, but they didn't know what was going on?

But the situation was no longer enough for Karabis to think about anything. The noise sounded, and several rows of light scattered soldiers of the rebels rushed up in irregular formations. At a certain distance, they shot out the light javelins of hunting spears from outside the trench. On the barrier, many new recruits could not hold back and ignored the centurion's orders and threw out the javelins in their hands. The javelins in both places were very scattered and fell across the air. Many of them fell on the heads of the two new recruits of Karabis standing under the barrier. The entire queue began to stir up uneasy! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better and faster!
