Chapter 28 Reorganization (Part 2)

In the morning light, in the camp of Chinodosha, Li Bida, who had a black beard, rode a horse on the outside of the school ground, and Brutu stood beside him. Then he shouted to all the soldiers of the two regular legions, saying that the formal peace talks were still coming, and we must obey the personnel arrangements of the province. Now this financial officer will take you to Antioch, and I promise to give each officer and soldier a generous amount of Sichuan, which you deserve through heroic service during this period.

Tens of thousands of people saluted Li Bida together, and then, led by their respective centurions, walked towards the newly opened military lane in the west. Before leaving, Marco Anthony turned back on the horse's back, blinked at Li Bida, and walked by him two chief centurions, Hebrida and Polo, and they also followed the army.

"This is what you often say before, mixing sand, 'mixed sand'?" Walking in the gray fields on the shade of the mountains, there were fireworks burning by farmers everywhere. After a colorful nameless bird flew up into the sky, Li Bida followed its gliding trajectory with interest. Sabo carefully held a writing board and asked the person that his definition of the behavior of releasing the two legions was a bit incredible.

"It is impossible to stay by my side. It's better to sell personal favors. We have to prepare for going back. Have you recorded the route?" Li Bida began to rub his hands unconsciously in the cold wind.

"Yes, we went from South Armenia to Gerasha, then crossed the Helispont through Bitinia and went to the Temple of Delphi. However, you did not give any clarification on what to do next." Sabo took out another word board, reviewed it, and said.

Li Bida smiled without saying anything, and said nothing, but suddenly asked, "Did you still keep that Egyptian girl from Nevdidi in Ptolemy's palace?"

"Well." Sabo lowered his head and kicked the powdery soil back and forth with his toes. He said that although he would divide the commander-in-chief's reward into two pieces to his Spanish mother and Nevdidi, he still had no intention of bringing the dark-skinned "qingren" back to Rome. "I don't even want to go to Rome. I just want to build a villa with white exterior walls and red bricks on the coast of Uniónia, or in the island colonies outside Spain, and collect some books, love poems, philosophy books, etc., and raise pigeons and ducks. There are flowers and plants all over the garden. I don't want to marry any of the women in Rome. From you, I think that marriage with any of them is of interest."

"It's good." Li Bida had no accusations about his subordinates' novel ideas. He encouraged Sabo Kemus and said, "You are still very young. If you follow me for another ten years, even if you don't like it, I will give you considerable glory and assets. At that time, you can go to Laconia City in Sardinia. My wife helped it manage it very well, and it is a suitable place for veterans to retire.

The two of them discussed in this way, under the dead sky. Then they stepped on the horse's back and walked into the camp slowly. There were 15,000 fully equipped soldiers waiting for Li Bida to give the order to set off. The spring of the next year had arrived, and they were about to follow the rough mountain road of Anatolia and return to the sphere of influence of the Republic. Although Li Bida's subordinates only had two legions that did not even have auxiliary soldiers, they still showed a combat power that the army of the same era could not be compared after the reorganization.

Li Bida canceled all independent auxiliary brigades, whether they were cavalry or light archers. Instead, they were all incorporated into the "Serapis" legion and the "Cyrani" legion. In addition to ten standard infantry brigades, each legion also had three light projectile brigades and two cavalry brigades. In addition, the commander of the legion also had a light shield infantry brigade, a cavalry artillery brigade (twelve crossbows, forty scorpion crossbows, six wild donkey stone throwers, and a pack horse baggage team) as mobile forces. For Li Bida himself, his subordinates directly under the command of three cavalry brigades composed of Mathias, a projection brigade of Medeje, and a mixed guard brigade composed of Lusitanian heavy infantry and cavalry. In addition, the cavalry brigade of the 12th legion of Dussenvier is temporarily transferred to Li Bida.

In this way, the number of the two legions has actually expanded to eight thousand.

Because the auxiliary infantry was directly incorporated into the legion to cooperate in combat, Li Bida also ordered Saab to reform and improve shooting techniques and cavalry tactics, and added new flags. The infantry brigade still used the silver-handed and silver ringed team, while the projectile brigade used the Golden Fly team, the cavalry brigade used the Numa King statue team, and the flame tongue flag of the gang's 100-man team also added different colors. Each soldier must learn to understand the upload and dispatch of military orders from the different colors of flags and complex whistles, as well as the coordination and cooperation of combat.

After listening to his father's breathless speech, Niko, who was riding a pony on the top of Chinodosha, looked back and looked at her mother and El Capa with an excited look, meaning, "Look, my father is so amazing. This is his merit in that world called Rome, and he will soon promise me to take me to the colorful world."

Helenputina looked at her daughter, not knowing what it felt like. She wanted to cry because she couldn't give up and couldn't dissuade her. However, she felt that her daughter was almost graceful and had her own thoughts. So she turned her face. She still remembered that when she first met Li Bida, she once held the other party in the air and said, "Men are fragile creatures." But now she had no choice but to take back these words in her heart, just as El Capa commented, "Even if men are not chaste and fragile, they can change their positions at any time and survive in this world, as tough as weeds. Niko grew up because of her father, but when she matured, she would still choose to return to her mother."

It was obvious that El Capa's second half was to comfort herself, but what else could Helenputina say? She remembered Ella, who sank into the cold seabed in Pontikabien, the woman who loved her children unconditionally, had no grand statements when choosing to sacrifice. Women were always great because of their personal love, and so did she.

In the grass over there, Li Bida slowly walked up with the owl. The troops had already started. He trusted his subordinate officers completely, so he came to say goodbye to Helenputina.

"Do you want to take my daughter away?" Helen Putina, who was riding on the horse, looked at Li Bida, and her voice was choked.
