Chapter 6 Discord (Part 2)
Who would have thought that Caesar shrugged and said that you can only ensure that Egypt and Cyprus can provide us with supplies and money, and that place in Britannia can only declare Wuwei and put the citizens of the Republic into some kind of fanaticism. In fact, that place is so poor, I don’t have much interest in it. Maybe when the Senate questioned my war, I can use it to create imaginary enemies. Poor, I heard that the people in that place mainly drink milk, how dirty and backward!
"Oh, so that's how it is." Li Bida didn't expect that the earliest Britannia was like this in the eyes of the Romans.
No matter him, he could get out of Egypt and take back my property. Li Bida, who quickly returned to his house, wrote a letter to the legion in Besanson, asking Milu, Pope, and Hottenhus to temporarily manage the legion, Tagus, Sabo, and Dussenvier to take the Thousand Infantry Brigade and the affiliated cavalry brigade to the village of Russels to collect the brigade. Then Kasio also used means to let Quindus become the default commander of the Fourteenth Legion (still recruiting troops), and took the lead and went to the port of Aquileia (near the present Venice) to take over the fleet and prepare for the conquest.
Three markets later, Li Bida kissed the servants at home one by one at the door of the Russels manor, "Please let me know everything!" Then he hugged and kissed the children with Porti, "Let the children receive education, whether it is Little Leo or Corinna, you have to master the writing skills faster, and you can also tell Corinna that she has a husband in the future, now four years old, and is changing her diapers on Niushou Street in Paladin Mountain in Rome!"
When he walked to Yulia, Li Bida shook his face slightly, and then turned his face to the side. He left his cheek to his new husband. Then he asked: "We stay here. Is it equivalent to becoming a hostage to Caesar? In this way, you will definitely come back when you go to Egypt?"
"Don't you want...it's okay, Caesar won't be so, and take on the role of the hostess." Li Bida kissed Yulia's cheeks and asked.
Then, Libida, Tagus, Petternius and others stepped on the horse's back, waved goodbye under the cheers of everyone, and then played the trumpet behind them were all the Thousand-man brigades of the Twelve Legions. As for the Thirteenth Legion of Illyria, only a flag-holder and a trumpeter next to Petternius were recruited temporarily around Russels, holding the vermilion-red lion flag and walking swaying.
Li Bida needs to recruit troops in Milan and Aquileia before he can take these people across the sea to Egypt.
In order to complete this as soon as possible, Li Bida immediately reported that he was the new knight of Etrus (under Li Bida's wings, Kai Max quickly saved nearly one million Ses's property, put on a golden ring on his right hand, and became a knight). Kai Max went to the resettlement site in Etrus to the Campenia area and recruited 500 to 1,000 Pompei's veterans. This was not difficult. Many people signed a resumption contract with the committee where Crassus and Li Bida were located when they obtained a large amount of rich resettlement: they had the responsibility to fulfill their obligations if needed.
There were also a few people who were recruited by idle people around the area, and probably more than a thousand people were pieced together. Li Bida led them to Port Aquileia and prepared to board the ship.
Because these two thousand men were enough to form several infantry brigades, the most important thing left was the auxiliary troops. After the baptism of the Lusitania and Gaul war, Li Bida believed that the weakness of the Roman legion was the lack of powerful auxiliary soldiers. Once the powerful crossbows, cavalry, projectiles and the corps' firm infantry and fortifications were carried forward, the Roman legion would be truly invincible.
However, in the area here, there are only dense phalanx soldiers, whether it is the Roman sword and shield system, the Etruscan counterfeit Greek heavy infantry system, or the Gallic rough large square array, no Li Bida wanted to get the kind of long-range projectiles. Even the eight hundred Vibichinas who followed him used the new tactics of dismounting, raising horses and chasing, and cooperating with infantry combat under his half-force and half-sentence. In the classical era, what was most lacking was not the limitation of technology, but the rejection and numbness of new technologies.
Therefore, when it comes to the extra money to recruit soldiers, Li Bida hid some of them and allocated them to the Soldiers Committee, determined not to continue recruiting in this area for the time being, and he wanted to go to the East to try his luck.
Just as the barracks were established in Port Aguileia, Ptolemy Twelve arrived with the whole team of rich teams. Yulia had said before that his husband's two thousand tarantes were welded on the pharaoh, sooner or later, melting away like the snow of summer. The pharaoh sat on a giant gilded sedan chair carried by sixteen people, behind which was a smaller sedan chair for his daughter and concubine, and at the front were dozens of feather fans and portraits, The black slaves wearing embroidered gold silk, on both sides were imitating the style of Persian monarchs, each riding on horseback, holding the handle of the "Golden Apple" gun, and behind the sedan chair, there were dozens of small wheeled shrines (full of spices, gems and ribbons), enshrining the gods of the Ptolemy royal family, as well as many indigenous gods in Egypt, and at the end were various palace maids with precious spices...
"It's simply a moving luxury palace." Li Bida, who was standing outside the military camp, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this lineup.
"I must remind you that the commander can call the engineering team in the barracks, and let the Pharaoh and his concubines stop and build a camp for them, otherwise this kind of show would seriously damage our morale. Our army was originally a lot of new recruits..." Before Sabo's suggestion was finished, Petternius over there made a lot of envy, which made the young staff officer very unhappy.
At this time, a big man came out of the pharaoh's team. He was dressed in a obviously legion, wearing a colorful horse's mane, bell-shaped breastplate, with decent silver ornaments, grey armor, and the biggest difference between the centurion and the soldiers - the straps that bypassed the shoulders and armpits, the sword was hung on it, while ordinary soldiers were tied to the belt and ran straight towards the hillside of Li Bida's horse. This was obviously the in-laws of the commander of the Restoration Army, "Herbrida, who is always low-level."
"Herbrida, a former city fortress, asked to return to the team, Commander." Hebrida, who was standing straight in front of the horse, extended his hand and saluted.
"Run ten Stadias forward, go to the barracks and put on the logo of the chief centurion, Hebrida!" After the other party ran away from the hillside with great energy, Libida whispered to Petterneus, "He is also my in-laws, but don't arbitrarily because of my relationship." (To be continued...)
