Chapter 26 Hard-fought siege (2)

Because of the lack of water, all the corpses were very dirty. Since these Balanthians, descendants of the ancient warriors, did not want to survive in shameful faces, they personally exterminated themselves with such a vigorous attitude. Not to mention people in the whole city, there was not even a living dog. The corpses were the most, especially in front of the altar. Li Bida walked to the totem pole on the other side and saw an animal similar to an eagle with an wing spreading its angrily hair standing on it. This was probably the totem of the Balanthians, looking down at the miserable corpse of the people they blessed.

"Is this an eagle?"

"No, the lord of the finance officer, this is the totem of the Balantiians, the Iberian mountain falcon." Sabokemus answered Libida's question, then looked at the cruel surroundings with anxiety, and said, "I think our martial eunuchs are more terrifying than these corpses. We have exterminated a tribe, an ancient and glorious tribe!"

"Silence, Sabo! Are these all the plans you have drawn up? Are you pushing the camp group and building the blockade wall to make these barbarians survive? Take down this golden mountain falcon and put it on the legion logo. Our legion will pass on the bravery and reputation of the Balantians for them." Then Li Bida heard the angry scolding of the soldiers, and the voice came from the temple of this city. After a while, little Hotenhus walked out of the inside and shouted to the lord of the financial officer: "Damn barbarians, before they died, they dissolved all the shiny gold and silver into the lead blocks. The floor of the temple was full of such lead blocks, which made us unable to get at all. Damn, it's damn!"

"Don't worry about those. Young man. Our baggage team is already bloated enough." Li Bida persuaded. Then he pressed Sabo's shoulder, "Okay Sabo, we won this battle, aren't we? Be happy, then we enter the north of Lusitania and prepare to meet with His Excellency the Governor."

After half a month, a huge and neat team appeared in the northern part of Lusitania. The birds in the bushes were alarmed by the crowds. Before going here, Li Bida sent several detachments to "punish" many small tribes on the border of Vitoni that supported the other side during the siege of Balantia. Now his subordinates not only made up for the previous deficit, but have expanded to more than 6,000 people, three elephants, more than a thousand cavalry, and countless robbery goods. The temporary financial officer took

Two auxiliary troops started. In less than half a year, we not only helped the Governor Caesar to recruit a fully equipped auxiliary troops (even more elite than regular troops). We also swept through Vitoni, Barantia and Newman Seal's anti-Roman barbarian forces, and surrounded the Lusitania region in the north. Of course, because of the ruthless swords, we also "injuredly injured" Betnery and other areas, killed many kind residents, and snatched many towns - in general, Li Bida did a good job, and he also hoped that Caesar would think so.

Li Bida also set up the "First Team of Thousands" in the Thyme Legion. The selected soldiers who showed firmness and courage in the siege. The flag was unique, and the "Balantia Mountain Falcon" symbolized the legion's martial arts honor. Under the rhythm of the melodious legion music "Thyme", he walked neatly at the front of the queue. The wings were General Mago's Numidian light infantry, who tightly guarded the pack horse team and the three-headed war elephants with high emotions. The back was the long swordsman of Setratai, and the back was the "Infantry and Cavalry Mixed Team". Each team was composed of 380 Spanish mercenaries and 120 cavalrymen. The last one was the three-winged Ala cavalry, who was on guard duty in the rear.

In short, the soldiers are strong and the horses are replaced with the cannons.

Li Bida, surrounded by flags and grape canes, was obviously in a great mood, and gently combing the beat of "Thyme", Sabo Kemus next to him was also very excited - on a high hill, below the army was moving forward orderly and slowly, and under his feet were representatives of the barbarians in northern Lusitania, kneeling in front of them, kissing their toes and flags, begging the mercenary army not to ravage the tribe's hamlets and crops. At this price, many barbarians were willing to pay full 10-1 tax and blood tax.

"If you want to deal with these details, please contact my assistant Sabo to handle it." Li Bida read the relevant files casually, and then threw them on the ground, scaring the representatives to shake their bodies, "Why are there no representatives of the Avasili people among you? Do they still dare to resist the military front!"

"Yes, the Avasili were originally ready to surrender, but a small Roman cavalry entered their alert territory without declaring war. In a small town called Iduka, the angry Avasili mobilized the army and surrounded the Roman cavalry in Idukari." A representative hurriedly explained.

After asking about the forces of the Avasili people besieging Iduka and their subordinates, Li Bida asked the barbarian representatives to retreat, and then Sabo knew it and began to raise the drawing board to prepare a new combat plan.

"Dear Sabo, the Battle of Iduka may be the ultimate sound of our Thyme Legion's independent combat." Suddenly, Li Bida said sadly, and this was a bit beyond Sabo's expectations. "Your Excellency of Finance, do you mean that you will hand over the Thyme Legion to Caesar soon?"

Li Bida nodded sadly and expressed his helplessness, "And even those three cute elephants are going to hand over to you. The last time, let's do a good job, dear Sabo, plan well, and do everything according to what you said."

In the breeze, Sabokemus suddenly felt tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, and his heart was churning like a sauce. He suggested with a little sob that the financial officer hoped that before returning to Rome, he would go to the Ismo Temple on the side of the Hercules stone pillar to hold a ceremony to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings. This would bless him to continue to rise in the city of Rome. As for him, he would definitely cherish this wonderful time of fighting side by side with the financial officer and never forget it.

Li Bida nodded, then sighed and half lying on the chair, saying that he wanted to stay alone for a while. Sabo knew that he was in a bad mood, so he said goodbye politely.

"What a joke! The Roman scouts who entered Iduka's team showed that Caesar's main force must have advanced to a place not far from here. I would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to join him. I hand over the legion, at least after my matters were arranged!" After seeing Sabo walk away, Li Bida walked away with one hand around the short hair on his forehead, gnawing the nails of the other hand one by one, thinking about how to continue disobeying his fate.
