A day's training had exhausted Pompeii's Southern Army to the extreme. Due to the fact that sufficient food and military pay had not yet arrived, coupled with the bad weather in the southern part of the Italian peninsula, the soldiers complained. Herno sat listlessly in the tent, facing a table full of sumptuous food.

The food was tasteless.

The oath he swore to Pompeii now became pale and feeble. It was almost like a lie and no one believed it anymore. All kinds of rumors in the army filled his ears. He became irritable and restless, beating and scolding his attendants.

A way to vent your grievances.

It was getting dark, and the soldiers huddled in their tents tiredly. The meaningless garrison made them lose their fighting spirit. The commander's incompetence made them complain. The homesickness made everyone listless and drowsy. There was no hope.

I don’t know what will happen tomorrow.

Late at night, the soldiers of the Southern Legion felt the earth trembling slightly. It gradually increased in intensity from far to near, and there was an endless "rumbling" sound. Everyone walked out of the tent curiously and looked around. They saw nothing. Only darkness.

The sky and the faint starlight. This tremor continues, endless, unstoppable, and shocking. What it could be, everyone is whispering to each other.

"What happened?" Haiernuo, who was fooling around with a few female slaves, also felt the tremor and walked out of the tent naked to ask the guard.

The guards were also confused as to what was happening.

"Go and call someone to see what happened!" Herno II shouted to the herald.

"There are cavalry!" Suddenly the sharp voice of the sentry on the observation post pierced everyone's eardrums. Before the voice fell, 1,000 cavalry led by Antony rushed into the Syracusan army camp like a sudden eruption of hot volcanic lava.

The massacre began. It was extremely easy for the cavalry to eliminate the unassembled infantry. They chased and intercepted them everywhere, using their spears to end the lives of the enemies one by one. Wails, shouts, and the neighing of war horses rang out. The massacre.

There is always a fire. Antony ordered his men to set fire to the camp to cheer for this sneak attack. There were so many corpses that the horses had to step on them. Antony's cavalry

In units of ten, they hunted this group of panic-stricken Southern Legion infantry like sheep. The blood stained the snow-white uniforms of the cavalry, which made them forget the fatigue of the journey and became even more excited. They shouted loudly and waved.

With their spears in hand, they randomly selected targets to kill among the fleeing crowds. This hunting game boosted their confidence once again, firmly believing that Caesar was the undisputed overlord.

News that Caesar's cavalry had attacked the camp of the Southern Legion soon reached Rome. At night, the Senate's meeting hall was brightly lit, and the red-faced war and peace deputies kept quarreling like shrews in the market.

Someone from the Peace Party shouted: "Herno's failure is a manifestation of his incompetence. We cannot sacrifice the lives of our noble Roman soldiers for cowards like them. Caesar is not a beast, he is reasonable, and we can negotiate."

"

There were boos from the warring faction, and someone immediately retorted: "Caesar is a careerist. He sneak-attacked the army of the Roman Republic. This is already a traitor. For traitors, we can only fight! Destroy him!"

The peace faction shouted: "Caesar has 20 legions in his hands and they are well-trained. All the soldiers are loyal to him, so why should we fight against him!"

The main war faction said: "We still have the Southern Legion and the Roman Republican Guard!"

The Peacekeepers sneered at this proposal: "You can still expect the young men of the ancient families in Rome to commit adultery, molest boys, and drink alcohol. These dirty words are always mixed with these people and become someone else's.

It’s something to talk about after dinner. The city of Rome has plenty of soldiers. It can recruit at least 10 people.

Legion. However, most of these recruited soldiers come from the upper-class families of society, and their exaggeration has not been restrained just because they put on armor. Military discipline and combat effectiveness are not worth mentioning. They can barely deal with rioting slaves. If they are faced with

The Gallic Legion, which has experienced hundreds of battles, will be beaten to a pulp, and it will be too miserable to look at."

The main war faction shouted: "We still have Pompeii and 150,000 southern legions, which are enough to deal with Caesar's treason!"

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Pompey in the corner. At this time, Pompey was suffering inside. He had already dug Caesar's grave. It was when Caesar changed after fighting the Macedonians.

When both sides suffered losses, his Southern Army gave his old friend a fatal blow.

However, he underestimated Caesar's ability. In just two weeks, he defeated the Macedonians, captured two important cities at the southern foot of the Alps, and completely blocked the Macedonian attack attempts.

Then, with the help of the Egyptians, he suddenly appeared in southern Italy without anyone noticing, and attacked his garrison in Taranto, joining forces with the troops on the northern front to form a north-south pincer attack on Rome.

Pompeo did not expect this. Seeing all the MPs turning their attention to him, he stood up, walked to the middle of the crowd, looked around and said: "What else can I say? As a

I have no choice Archon!”

After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Gather the troops!"

Suddenly, cheers flooded the entire discussion hall. The faces of the members of the Senate were filled with smiles, but the faces next to them looked sad.

At the same time, Caesar also received news that the Senate was at war with him. He asked Yang Rui: "This time I have no way of turning back."

Yang Rui smiled and said: "On the way, the people of Rome welcomed you. They did not feel any shame for your behavior."

Caesar asked: "I saw it too, why is that?"

Yang Rui said: "Human beings are fragile, and they call for heroes in their hearts to save them. At this time, if someone can play this role, no matter whether he is good or bad, people will support him."

Caesar asked, "What shall I do?"

Yang Rui looked at the huge marching team and said firmly: "Give them what they want, indulge them, but at the same time discipline them strictly, and they will be your slaves."

Caesar smiled and said: "It seems that this is a difficult proposition."

Yang Rui said: "When you blocked all the rights into your arms, you felt that it was not a difficult thing."

Caesar took a deep breath and said: "I hope it's like you said, I have no way back, all my bets are on it."

Yang Rui said: "Believe me, you will definitely win." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
