As a result, while Pompey decided to reinforce, Li Bida's cavalry suddenly arrived at the south of Kofinium.

The several hundred-man teams stationed by Pompei's army in the south of the city thought that it was Capua's reinforcements, so they ran to the road to greet them foolishly until they were only three Stadias away from each other. Finally, they realized that the other party was in a wrong position. Just when they were about to turn their heads and escape, the Mathians with lasso and spears quickly surrounded them from both sides. After the short killing, Li Bida faced a large nest of prisoners again.

"What, do you think our army was reinforced by Capua, which led to this defeat?" After Li Bida's mind began to work immediately after interrogating a centurion on the other side. Then he asked the prisoners' origins and found that they were all Masi or Penelians, he asked, "How does the Presbyterian Church in your city view this war."

"I can only say that now we are coming out to join the war, one is bound by the military service of the vassal city, and the other is obedience to the orders of the French elected consuls to recruit soldiers." The dirty captured centurion replied.

Li Bida nodded, and immediately called the centurion to bring his own handwritten letter to the Presbyterian Church in the city, and threatened him, "You should convey my meaning to the municipal department of Kofinium, the Presbyterian Church of Curia. This is also to save your city, otherwise there will be a fierce battle in the future due to misunderstandings, and your home will be gone in the fire of war."

After the centurion left, Li Bida ordered three thousand cavalry to immediately build circular fortifications around the south of the city, and arranged detailed personnel, requiring the centurion and tribal chief to not slack off at night. He could not be satisfied with guarding against the enemy's breakthrough attacks, and he should also strictly prevent the infiltration of enemy spies and trustees!

After the cavalry began to work hard, although the north of the city was temporarily isolated from Li Bida's news, Caesar also ordered his three legions to dig trenches around the city, erect wooden fences, and also sent a letter to the Presbyterian Church, a scale of 600 people in the city.

Two letters from one north and one south were probably less than two nights apart. So the Presbyterian Church of Kofinium gathered immediately. They set fire to the bonfire in front of the city hall and sounded the trumpet. Many citizens also came to listen. This shocked Gebinus and Dumigos, who were stationed here, and they also ran over with a large number of soldiers. As a result, the Presbyterian Church had read the letters from Caesar and Libida. Everyone knew that they were surrounded by Caesar's army from all directions, and Caesar's letters were very gentle. Not only did they face the city of Kofinium, but they also advised the two enemy commanders. And all the elders and knights who took refuge here, "As long as we put down our weapons, I will guarantee the safety and property of all the gods in Rome."

But the end of Li Bida's letter is much more fierce. "If Kofinium, as a vassal of Rome, is still assisting the traitors, then if the war begins, no matter whether it is voluntary or coercion, the whole city will be destroyed, and the residents and prisoners of war will be sold into slavery."

Immediately, the Presbyterians authorized the four municipal officials to ask the residents of the city not to panic and immediately surrender. In addition, they said to Dumijius, "Now we have two more requests to you. The first is to disband the army you have raised before the morning. Most of them are our children and they are not allowed to die in this meaningless war. The second is the Lord Consun Dumijius, the treasury funds you have plundered in various surrounding towns, a total of 600 Tarants, and you must stay and wait for the treatment of the Lord Caesar after entering the city. As for you and the veteran knights from Rome, we will never harm your lives, and please leave by yourself in the early morning. But as for how Caesar or Libidaus treat you after leaving the city, it has nothing to do with us."

At this time, Gabinus, who could not bear it, raised the letters of his exchanges with Pompey, and read them loudly in public, saying that Pompey's powerful reinforcements would come soon, "and we have a total of thirty brigades and 12,000 soldiers in our hands. Caesar was just bluffing, and he could not replenish the new recruits at all. Many of the legions brought by the Gallic War were consumed and could not be fully occupied. As long as we firmly clear the walls, these were made by the Gallic people, the Germans and the Dalmatia.

The mob of people will soon collapse automatically. So why can't we ask ourselves why not persevere?" Dumigos next to him also took the opportunity to say, "The six hundred Talent funds I have collected are for rewarding the loyal and brave men. In addition, I promised in the name of the consul that anyone who performs well in this war, whether he is a Roman, a Masi, or a Penelian, will receive the same reward and retirement land."

"We are afraid that Caesar has dug a cemetery for us before you cash in on your retirement land." Most of the elders of Kofinium City retorted in unison, and most of the soldiers in the city followed the elder's advice, because the city officials and centurions were mostly locals in Pinukem. They threw down their weapons, refused to fight, changed into civilian clothes, and dispersed directly.

In an instant, there were only three brigades left, and they were still willing to follow the two generals. In fact, they had no choice but to do so because they were not locals and had no relatives.

The situation had reached its worst moment, and finally, the word "to discuss peace with Caesar" appeared in Gabinus's vocabulary, which meant that they were also ready to surrender.

At dawn, before the construction of the fortification halfway through the construction, Gabinus, Dumigos and dozens of veteran knights stood in front of the wooden fence with shame and resentment. Caesar's soldiers intended to surround them, mocking and making fun of these people while raising the soil on the shovel. But Caesar soon walked out of the camp with his companionship, and scolded the soldiers, "These are all honorary figures of Rome, and there is even a second-level consul elected by the law. I strictly forbid any of you to insult or hostile to them." Anthony beside Caesar immediately walked out, holding his cane to demonstrate, and the soldiers immediately calmed down and began to work on their own tasks. Even though the city opposite had surrendered, they still could not slack off. This was also the iron-blooded rule set by Li Bida for many years.

Next, Caesar's behavior made many elders feel ashamed. He pointed at many people in public, reported their names one by one, and said when I was in that year, what difficulties I had helped you solve, and how much money I spent. "I didn't expect that you will repay me in this way now!"

"Don't talk about Julius, money cannot compete with the concept of republic!" Dumigos defended angrily, "If you hate me, I hate you as well as Pompey. If you were captured by me today, I wouldn't say so much, and I would immediately kill you with a sword." (To be continued...)
