Chapter 28 Dunorex (Part 2)
Then Rabinus raised his hand and said that he wanted to recruit the warriors from the Aduites and follow him to the mountain to reconnaissance, because it was all the land of the Aduites, and they were obviously the best as guides.
Li Bida glanced sharply at the crowd. Sure enough, Dunolex walked out carelessly, and was full of heroism: "I am the commander-in-chief of this tribe's cavalry. I must go to the front line more than my subordinates and give those ignorant Lake Leman cubs who are ignorant of the sky and the earth. Chief Deputy General, I am willing to accompany you to that mountain. I even know the name of that mountain, which is called Xiaoshu Mountain, which is full of hidden shrubs and grass."
Just as Rabinus was preparing to praise him, Li Bida narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Wait, I seem to hear someone say that your wife is Helveti."
Dunolex sneered and said, "Aren't Romulus and Remus, the creators of Rome, also brothers?" Then the former killed the latter without hesitation. Then he carefully looked at Li Bida's appearance and murmured a strange thing. When the translator said this, the generals behind Li Bida laughed, and Li Bida looked ashamed, which made Dunolex even more proud.
After scolding Li Bida seriously, Rabinus accused him of lacking minimum trust in AIA and being a careless Oriental naturalist. Then he shook hands with Dunorex and said that the task was arranged as follows: tonight, the third night of the military camp (about 0:00 a.m.) and strive to reach the target at the third stroll (two a.m.).
"Nothing is wrong." Dunolex looked at the black-eyed and yellow-skinned commander of the 12th Legion with contempt and said indifferently.
At night, within the protruding wooden fence circle in front of the camp, Li Bida's 12th Legion, a total of seven brigades, carrying baggage and weapons, lined up in a standby state, with slight coughs everywhere. In front of the main gate, Rabinus was covered with a Gaul-style cloak. He told Li Bida: He led the 10th Legion's 10th Legion to advance with the Aidui guide. Once he occupied the top of the vital mountain of Xiaoshu Mountain, he would send someone to notify the 12th Legion. In this way, around the next morning, at the most slack moment of the enemy barbarians, the 12th Legion could destiny and launch an assault!
"Good luck, Mars blessed." Li Bida and Rabinus both encouraged him, and then Rabinus led the first team of the 10th Legion to let Dunolex walk in the front and head towards the black-black Xiaoshu Mountain, which was actually impossible to identify in the night.
"How, the confidentiality of this operation is OK. Have the commands and duty arranged all the things?" When Rabinus led his team away for a while, Caesar suddenly appeared in the array of the 12th Legion and asked Li Bida and the centurions with a smile. After the rush of salute, Li Bida said that everything was arranged, and then said meaningfully. "Only the information transmission work, Dunorex will definitely help us complete it."
"That's right, when the third stairs was approaching the 12th Legion on time, the speed could be slowed down appropriately." Caesar issued this order casually, and then, with Reyax's companion, went to patrol other legion divisions.
There were twists and turns. Under the back of Xiaoshu Mountain, the soldiers of the 10th Legion wearing leather and hay were moving forward silently. They "bited" the Aidui guide team, with a difference of no more than one quarter of the furon, which was fifty meters away. Even if Dunorex intends to take a long way, Rabinus gritted his teeth and insisted on following behind. The acting commander-in-chief's slightly fat face and neck were covered with sweat and dew. Seeing that he could not confuse this serious and cautious guy, Dunorex could only take them to the foot of Xiaoshu Mountain after delaying for a while.
Rabinus asked his subordinates to put out only a few torches and tried to identify the surrounding environment. Then he said to Dunorex, "There are bonfires on the mountain, which means that the Helveti people have outposts on the top. Please continue to lead the way. Let's divide into several teams to touch it."
Then, the first brigade of the 10th Legion stood out three hundred-man teams, and the rest squatted down at the ground at the foot of the mountain to form a warning formation. Then Rabinus asked everyone to check their weapons and equipment, and then asked the Aduites to lead the team respectively. The three hundred-man teams Rabinus were in the center, divided into three directions, and climbed up from the rugged mountain path.
The battle on the top of the mountain was very short. The vanguards of the 10th Legion who had been touched by the darkness quickly solved a small force that the barbarians were guarding here, captured some prisoners, and through emergency interrogation, the prisoners told the prisoners that the camp of Helveti was just a half-Roman far away under the top of the mountain.
Through the numerous shrubs, Rabinus easily verified the captive's statement. The camp of more than 200,000, with the bonfire, like a galaxy in the sky, stretched straight from the other side of Xiaoshu Mountain to the distant plain under the night sky. How could Rabinus not be excited? He even asked Dunorex next to him, looking unaware, "Soldiers and reliable centurions must be sent to keep the passage down the mountain, so as not to be unable to attack when the Twelve Legions arrive immediately."
"Also, look, the Helvets did not have a strong guard force to dispatch. As long as we occupy the top of this mountain, the 12th Legion can arrive in time and launch a raid. Then the main legion of His Excellency Caesar advanced forward along the confrontation line, and there was a blockade from the Eleventh Legion in front. Under the attack, the Helvets will be swept into ashes!"
Rabinus became more and more excited as he spoke, and Dunolex next to him became more and more excited. He volunteered, "It's almost time for the scheduled time. I immediately asked the 100-man team at the foot of the mountain to come up, and then I returned along the same path and helped the upcoming 12th Legion as soon as possible to attract the upcoming 12th Legion."
As a result, the acting commander agreed to Dunolex's request very happily, and then the man took his clan's guide team down the mountain in the faint morning light. Several hundred-man teams at the foot of the mountain also ran up one after another in tacit understanding. After passing through several small streams, Dunolex saw the flags coming from the 12th Legion. He quickly stopped the chief centurion Milu who was walking in front, and loudly asked to meet the commander Li Bida here.
