Augustus Road

"Your Excellency, you have gone too far forward." Alp next to Lepidus reminded him, leaning on the hilt of the "Habaishu" sword.

"No, I'm still worried about how to deal with little Cato. Now there is a way, and that is to send him directly to Caesar - I don't want to bear any charges against him, whether it is detention, or If I kill him, I will treat him like a distinguished guest. I will equip him with a fast and elegant ship and a hundred soldiers. I will politely send him out of the city of Masseria and let Caesar face him. Come on!" Li Bida muttered as he walked.

At this moment, the sunlight above was slowly blocked, and dark clouds and the long-lost cool breeze gathered in the rubble-filled square. Lepidah felt that his cheeks were beginning to moisten, and it was raining.

But little Cato, dressed in white robes, was still surrounded by Triali soldiers, standing stubbornly, with his fists slightly raised, as if he was not a prisoner, but as usual, ascending to deliver a speech to the people, A certain thin centurion who was always by his side made a gesture of invitation to him, meaning that he should come forward and ask for mercy from the victor General Lepidus.

The footsteps of both parties became more and more urgent, and Lepidus' walking speed became faster and faster. He was not willing to let little Cato make any humiliating actions against him, which would only cause harm to himself, so he stretched out his hand, Prepare to stop little Cato from bowing or even kneeling down. "Brendium City, my name is Fabius, remember this name. Because I will be the one to kill you!" the other party said quickly, and then pulled out the fighting sword from the shoulder strap, and a thunderous explosion rolled down. White light flashed, but his sword was faster than thunder and lightning. It hit Li Bida's head head on!

Instinctively, Lepidus stumbled to the side, and the sword directly split open his shoulder armor, taking a piece of flesh from his arm with it. Before the sound of thunder disappeared in the ears of the stunned people, Lepidus roared in pain. , before he could draw his sword, he just used his right fist. Fabius's neck was broken, and he rolled away several Roman feet and died immediately.

"Kill Lepidus!" All the Sicilian soldiers behind Cato quickly drew their swords and rushed forward to stab. In the rain and lightning, Alp shouted, holding up his shield and Haberdash rushed forward. German and Czech guards also swarmed forward, some even without weapons in their hands. Just play against each other.

Lepidus, who was constantly pushed back, protected his helmet with his hands, and shouted in embarrassment and anger, "Everyone, rush back to the camp outside the city!" The retinues, centurions, generals and guards around him were in chaos. Make a ball. At this moment, there were shouts of "Kill Lepidus" all around the square. Albiscans, Sicilian soldiers and some private soldiers of the Masselian nobles who were still loyal to Pompeii climbed on the roofs, arcades and city walls from all sides, and kept shouting People were shooting arrows and throwing stones. The horses outside the square either ran away in fear or were shot dead on the spot. Everyone on Lepidus' side raised their shields to protect the Sardinian governor and retreated towards the broken wall. At this time, the death-defying personnel mobilized by Cato suddenly rushed out from other gaps in the broken wall. They killed many unsuspecting soldiers under Lepidus, and began to set fire to canopies, shield carts and other siege equipment. The besieging troops who came to their senses also began to use crowbars and pickaxes to fight with them in a hurry. Under the drizzle, there was a scene of fighting and fighting with fires rising into the sky.

Finally, at the gap in the broken wall, two groups of men and horses pressed against each other in a chaotic manner. Although the soldiers in the city were all disheveled due to malnutrition, their eyes were burning with phosphorus, like ghosts and monsters, and they were only shouting. "Kill Lepidus", he rushed forward risking his own life.

"Build a human ladder, build a human ladder!" Arp shouted, and then several strong Medjeans squatted on top of each other. Lepidus climbed up using his hands and feet, and then jumped out of the line of the city wall. Several The Lusitanian warrior came over with a horse. Lepidus flew on the horse, then pointed at the half-naked Bagulus, "Take your people and stay here!" Then he galloped towards the camp.

"Mobilize the second-line troops, put on their equipment, and push the enemy back. They are all half-starved ghosts!" Lepidah shouted and gave the order.

The entire blockade camp was full of slogans and whistles of "Arm up and fight". The infantrymen who were waiting at the rear, holding shields and bows and arrows, poured directly into the "Aemilius Behemoth" tower, and soon the city's After a desperate effort, they went bankrupt. The iron rain of death shot from the behemoth tower left them with piles of corpses. The siege army quickly blocked the gap again, stepping on corpses and blood everywhere.

The trapped beasts continued to fight, but they still caused sudden and huge losses to Lepidus' army. Thousands of his soldiers were killed, all the tents were burned, and the captain of the guard, Alp, was seriously injured. The chief centurion Bagulus was directly at the gap and was attacked by the opponent's most cruel and ferocious attack. He was hit by six javelins and died. The companions who died with him were wounded by arrows and arrows. The javelins were inserted as densely as crops, and blood filled the ditches under the city.

In the camp, Lepidus angrily tore off his cloak and slapped it on the hanger with a roar, "Why do some idiots have to play tricks that will make them perish faster and more completely? Don't they cherish their lives? Then I will Fulfill everyone's wish..."

"I think this matter has nothing to do with the Presbyterian Church in Masseria. It may have been instigated by Cato in private." Sabo next to him could still remain calm and defended.

"There are no innocent people in Masseria now. Do you understand, Sabo? Peteneus, Angondinus, the Sixth Legion is now lacking a chief centurion, and there is no time to slowly elect one, so General Peteneus directly commands the Sixth Legion, with Angondinus assisting. This legion is the front-line siege team. Although the shed is not burned down and our army has no extra wood to rebuild, it is impossible for the enemy to repair the city wall in a short time. Attack the city quickly, remember to attack quickly, kill all the people and animals, and leave no one alive."
