Chapter 13 The Counterattack (Part 2)

At this time, the entire northern defense line was already in a terrible defeat. Rabinus's cavalry occupied the important points of the passage like lightning, while the infantry were clearing out the remnants of Caesar who were still resisting like combs. Many officers and soldiers of the Ninth Legion or Eleventh Legion did not have the courage to stand behind the wooden fence to continue to resist, but jumped from the gap in the collapsed walls of the ten Roman foot camps. As a result, only one-third of the people could keep their feet intact, but they were also caught up and killed by the enemy cavalry when they ran to the streets outside the camp.

The chief brigade of Karenus arrived at this time. When he saw the tragic scene in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then instantly determined that it was meaningless to go to rescue at this time, but he did not retreat. The resolute commander was promoted from the old ranks. He was surprisingly brave and without panic. He brought a thousand Caesar soldiers to cover the shield with special logos with cloth covers, took off the exaggerated feathers he liked to carry during the Gaul War, and ran directly in a strict formation during the melee of the front line. This made them seem to be a member of Pompei's army. In this way, Karenus had passed through the destroyed camp of the two legions without knowing it, and also through the Macedonian Third Legion, which Pompei's army rushed from the coast. At this time, the sky had just brightened.

Even when the opponent's third legion passed by, he knocked on the shield and greeted him. Everyone was fighting for looting and making meritorious contributions, but he didn't even ask for a password.

So, only three hundred steps away from the sea, Karenus discovered an abandoned old camp built by the Ninth Legion here. This old camp seemed to have been established by the Pompei army, with its back against the woods and facing the sea. Later, when the Ninth Legion came here, it expanded the surrounding fortifications, turning it into a large camp that can accommodate a legion, and built a corridor for water withdrawal. But shortly after the construction, Caesar ordered the blockade of the two legions to move forward by five Stadias, so Diccias gave up the camp again.

But Karenus had now gotten in, and then he ordered all the soldiers to take off the shield cover, shouted loudly, occupying the terrain of the camp. At that time, many Pompei soldiers were scrambling to lie by the river to grab water and drink. Before he could react, many of them were killed by Karenus' soldiers with the thrown hunting spear.

"How come there will be enemies!" The one-eyed general Rileyas, who was chasing the north on the front line, said angrily. Then he just casually sent out four brigades to siege the old camp, and then brought more main forces, about fifteen brigades, of which the chief brigades of the first, second and third brigades were all in his hands, and continued to chase the ferry of the Gimmons River.

Because according to Rabinus's prior plan, all the defenders of Caesar's northern defense line must be wiped out, and then the backhand was backhanded. The legions in the eastern and southern areas of Caesar were defeated one after another until they were driven into the Gimons River to feed the fish.

At this time, the captured Ninth Legion and the Eleventh Legion personnel identified the centurion, team leader, tenth Legion, etc. from it, and were specially sent to the tent commanded by Rabinus in the rear as required.

"Comrade-in-law." Seeing these people, Rabinus said this first, so when these captured people thought of their embarrassment when they were defeated, they began to feel ashamed. Then Rabinus continued, "The army slaves just now sent you the team logo and camp flag, with a total of thirty-two sides."

Then, Rabinus stood up from the seat, and the more than ten people didn't know what to answer him, but thought that since the other party called him "comrade" and that he also had a friendship among them. The final name came from Capua City. During the Gallic War, the knight who had always had the best relationship with Rabinus said, "This is because your command is particularly exquisite. We strive to resist, but we still can't control our subordinates' retreat."

"Pous, how many years have you been in Gaul before, followed me and Caesar?" Rabinus asked word by word.

The knight named Puos didn't take much effort to report the number for four years. It seemed that he remembered it very clearly.

"Then you should know that veterans like you are not allowed to discard the team flags on the battlefield, and those who escape will be fleeing. You should protect it until death. This is the military order." Rabinus said coldly.

Puos smiled awkwardly. He was ready to say something to ease the atmosphere to get around this heavy topic, but Rabinus drew out his sword and stabbed straight into his abdomen. Puos' expression was extremely shocked. He grabbed the shoulders of his squat former comrade and said with all his strength, "We used to be..." Then he was pushed down by Rabinus onto the suitcase, and hula-la-belly overturned many boxes, lying in between and died.

Then, the two Gaul noble brothers who had been beside him who had rebelled before were hiding in the corner of the camp, trembling, watching Rabinus whom they no longer recognized turned into a killing devil. He and the sword in his hand swayed rapidly, with the screams of his captive comrades and the splattering blood. In just a moment, all the prisoners were corpses on the spot, while Rabinus stood in the middle with his sword, covered in blood, without saying a word.

With a bang, he finally put the sword on the table, and then took clear water and towels from the trembling military slave, slowly washed the blood stained on his hands and body, and then said to the brothers, "I tortured and tortured them because I am now the most hostile figure to Caesar, because I will kill my comrades who were once born and died."

After explaining all these unnecessary words, Rabinus changed into new armor and cloak, and said thoughtfully, "In today's battle, I am not facing the real Ninth Legion. This legion, led by General Kodar, fought against the 300,000 Helvetis without falling behind, but now, from officers to soldiers, they all fell into escaped ghosts. The legion was not a flag, but a person."

While Rabinus muttered to himself, a cavalryman ran in in panic and said, "A new enemy army appeared on the battlefield."

Rabinus, who was wearing a cloak button, shook his whole body, then lowered his head, and said in a deeper tone: "I was indeed deceived by Libidaus. He has come and came to this battlefield. He was not at Dickhaqiang at all." Then he suddenly took the sword, hung it on his shoulder strap, and said to the command, "Continue your duty and report what new situations are there in the battlefield!"

"Yes, yes." After the messenger saw the dead bodies all over the ground, calmed down, "there were suddenly many brigades of enemies in front of him, occupying the hillside, and there seemed to be a legion. In addition, there were enemies from a large scale of thousands of people who came from somewhere, rushing into the old camp and blocking our army's advance."
