Chapter 1 Robbery (Part 2)

"Build a repair road among several coastal cities. "Yes, how can we maximize the effectiveness of transportation?" There are soldiers and soldiers and soldiers waving pickaxes and carrying bricks and stones around him. Li Bida, who was leaning on the baton, discussed this issue with a squad of staff.

"Wide the road?" Angandinus blurted out for granted, but the cavalry commander slowly shook his head, saying that this was not effective.

At this moment, Hitius, who had previously commanded the Battle of Alexander, was originally a person who was dismissed from his citizenship. Later, he was mingled overseas under the name of a knight and was appreciated by Li Bida. "You have a lot of energy, but you can't make your own voice. I can provide you with a perfect stage orchestra." So after the civil war broke out, Hitius suddenly raised flags among the islands in the Eastern Mediterranean and fought against Pompei's army, which had a considerable restraint and blocking effect on it. Because he was knowledgeable, Hitius suggested now: "You can build two to three parallel and not far apart."

Li Bida raised his baton and was very satisfied with Hitius's answer, "If the three parallel channels are connected, the materials can be exchanged without interfering with each other and reach the fastest speed. In addition, if you go out in one direction, infantry, cavalry and baggage teams can each use different roads. Cavalry can be responsible for surprise attacks and alerts on the outermost road, infantry will support each other in the middle, and baggage can walk in the innermost, which is the safest and safest."

Then the cavalry commander asked Hitius if there were any other suggestions on engineering maintenance. Hitius said that with the technology of the Roman army, there was nothing to worry about at all. But Afilica was a dusty area. I was afraid that huge trees would have to be planted on both sides of the road to resist it. Otherwise, the road would be easily submerged.

"Okay, the project funds issue, so I sent the documents to Rome as the deputy of the dictator, and asked the Treasury and the Knights of Caesar to bear the responsibility." After Li Bida finished speaking, he waved to Hitius, and then the two entered the head coach's tent.

"A follower of the Civilian Party had participated in the Katilin riot and went into exile overseas after the failure. Is this resume right? Hitius?" Li Bida sat in a ring chair and invited the other party to sit down.

"Yes, I think these situations are already under your control by the cavalry commander." Xitius did not shy away.

"Some years ago, in order to make a living, I went around between the princes and chiefs of Mauritania. Well, I have been a mercenary captain and a merchant in a colonial city, so I am very familiar with the local customs and languages." When talking about "very familiar", Li Bida excitedly pushed the documents on the small table to the side, and then called a young man out.

"His name is Otaqilius, from the brave city of Sarona. I entrusted him as your deputy to go to the farther Mauritania region. Of course, for your safety, you can go to Spain. I will send people to guard the way." After Li Bida gave the order, he issued personnel arrangements, "Otaqilius is responsible for the boundaries and goals of negotiations, and Hitius, you are responsible for specific affairs. How about it, I hope you two can cooperate well and instigate the princes of various tribes there - the king of Juba, now the country is empty, and most of his main legions and cavalry have sent support to Pompey. Hitius, all you have to do is to give the king of Juba behind your back."

"Of course I am willing to accept this very important and glorious mission, Master of the Cavalry." Hitius agreed readily.

Of course, Li Bida was also very satisfied. He said that if these two men succeeded, they would definitely not be less than the five legions, and His Excellency Caesar and the entire Republic would be grateful. Now, I cannot be idle, and I will immediately command the attack on the inland city of Zeta and Sarasula. After these two castles backed by the Great Salt Lake were taken down, Pompey would lose half of its source of wealth.

The curtain door of the camp swayed, and the two token officials walked in uneasy, and then they claimed that they had the most important information and reported to the cavalry commander.

"Is it the enemy situation? Rabinus launched a counterattack again?" Li Bida said in confusion.

But the token official said that it was not the enemy situation. After hesitating, one of them said that it was more serious than the enemy situation in person, and then he gave a document to Li Bida.

"What, all the grain transport ships sent by Sardinia and Rome were detained by Curio!" Li Bida saw this news and felt that the five thunders were thundering, and he couldn't help but stand up. The staff and orders in the entire camp were also shocked.

"Yes, it seems that Curio had prepared for a long time. The grain transport fleet had just passed through the Sicily Strait and was detained by his fleet in Marisha Port." The token officer said, "Curio announced that he would directly call these materials as the Governor of Sicily and the General Manager of the Afiliga War Zone."

"Where are the wood and iron nails!" Li Bida asked nervously. You must know that the most lack of materials in combat in Africa. His camp construction needs to be maintained by demolishing the ship decks.

Another token official said that unfortunately, he was requisitioned by the Governor of Sicily and used it to strengthen the "Gonailius Old Camp".

"What is the old camp of Gonailius, the pawn that will be sacrificed at any time, I thought I could reproduce the glory of Scipio's attack on Carthage!" Li Bida shouted angrily, "I am the cavalry commander, the agent of the dictator Dick Thidd. After I came in the Afiliga War Zone, there should be no Curio's business, this bastard."

With a loud bang, the cavalry commander kicked the small table beside him in anger, and then the whole camp became silent. No one dared to say anything. Only Li Bida was gasping there, as if he was calming his emotions.

"Sabor, Hebrida - I'm going to announce now, Winter Camp immediately." Li Bida said this last.

The winter camp means that the tactical plan for seizing Zeta City that had been formulated in detail has completely miscarried.

Yes, Li Bida has no choice. Now that Rabinus is guarding the city of Zeta inland, he wants to lengthen the supply line of Li Bida's army, increase his aggressive consumption and burden, and play defensive counterattack tactics. If Li Bida follows the coast to reinforce Curio near Utica, Rabinus will take the opportunity to launch an attack. Now, only sufficient material reserves can support Li Bida's previous plan, but Cyrene and Egypt's supplies have been in place, but Curio has robbed the supplies from Sardinia.

"I used to be the only one who harmed others, but I didn't expect that the eagle that had been hunting for ten years is now pecked by the eagle's eyes." Li Bida secretly felt fierce in his heart, and then a sinister expression slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth.
