After a few breaths of silence, Mosolis sighed, "It was originally necessary to keep it secret, and I could tell you when I arrived at the destination. Seeing that you are so doubtful, I will talk about it first. More than three hours ago, General Hannibal received a top-secret piece of information, saying that a Roman reinforcements of about 2,000 people were coming from the jungle in the northeast. Hannibal planned to ambush them, but time was tight, so it was too late to draw troops from the basin and line up. So I could only mobilize the army nearby. Then I asked me to come and take over the command."

After saying that, he did not allow the other party to think about it carefully, and said in a different tone: "We must act quickly, otherwise if we delay this matter, we will not be able to afford to be guilty!"

There was no obvious loophole in what Mosolis said before, and his last intimidation sentence made the other party respond immediately: "Now the command is in the hands of General Mosolis, so naturally everything is up to your arrangements. Let's order the troops and set off. But this camp will not leave a empty camp."

Mosolis rolled his eyes and thought for a few seconds, saying, "It is enough to leave two hundred men to guard the house. Anyway, there are no other enemy troops nearby except the Roman army that is coming soon."

The sound of assembly horns rang out in the military camp. A team of more than 2,000 people gathered in the open space of the military camp in a moment. Then, except for two hundred-man teams, the rest of the people drove out of the camp one after another.

After only half an hour of walking, dark figures appeared around the camp, quietly surrounding the camp. When they were discovered by the rebels in the camp, the entire camp was already surrounded. More than 200 people in the camp shouted in panic, and arrows and crossbows were roaring past their heads.

At first, these two hundred people were scattered around the village walls to defend themselves, trying to block the opponent. But how could such a sparse line of defense be able to withstand? Feng Yu's soldiers pushed down or burned down more than a dozen unmanned walls, and rushed into the camp like a tide. In just a quarter of an hour, the entire camp was occupied by Feng Yu's army. Two hundred rebel soldiers either died under the fire of crossbow guns or the opponent's swords, leaving no living mouth.

Almost at the same time, the team led by Mosolis and others was passing through a small wood. They were also attacked by a sudden attack. The crossbow guns shot from the forests on both sides of the road brought these rebel soldiers to the ground like harvesting straw. Before their original commander and general understood what was going on, a crossbow gun penetrated his head deep from the temple.

Just a few seconds before the ambush was launched, Mosolis was pulled off the war horse by the people sent by Feng Yu and dragged it into the bushes on the side of the road. This prevented him from being shot into a sieve by flying crossbow guns.

In less than a moment, the two thousand rebel soldiers were almost gone amid screams and howls. During this process, Feng Yujun did not act at all in persuading surrender, and obviously he was a death move.

Immediately afterwards, three or four thousand soldiers dressed in Roman military uniforms but ragged clothes swarmed out of the woods. Except for 500 Feng Yu's soldiers holding individual crossbows, the rest were not Feng Yu's direct troops, but the original Roman soldiers or civilians who survived on Sicily. They hated the rebels to the core and had no mercy on the other side. Even if some rebel soldiers had knelt down and begged for mercy, they were stabbed to death by their spears.

Soon the entire battlefield became silent, and even the screams and wailing sounds of the wounded soldiers disappeared without a trace. After the soldiers of Feng Yu's army were busy recovering crossbow guns from the corpses and the ground, they ran towards the open mouth of the Nicosia Basin under the leadership of Dian Qing.

There, Feng Yu's main force had completely occupied the rebel camp and built a defense line. His baggage troops built two small camps on both sides of the camp, and dug trenches between the camps, building barriers, and building defense lines.

At the same time, there was a panic in Hannibal's camp under the city of Nicosia. It turned out that Hannibal only realized that his personal bodyguard was missing after getting up in the morning after using breakfast.

He began to think that the guards had been abandoned and went to date one of the small number of female soldiers in the rebels. So he didn't care, but he just ordered some personal guards to look for them. However, two hours passed and they couldn't find them. At the same time, Hannibal found that Mosolis was missing again, and he felt that something was wrong.

Hannibal immediately sent a large number of troops to search the entire battalion. Finally, the body of the guard was found in a bush behind the toilet. After searching the guard's body and the tent where he was, he found that the golden token was missing!

Hannibal connected all kinds of things and thought about it carefully, and the hair on his back suddenly stood up. He slapped his thigh and said, "No! Hurry up and send someone to inform the commander of the military camp in the open area, telling him that Mosolis has surrendered to the enemy. No matter what the situation is, he is not allowed to leave the camp half a step."

Then he ordered the generals and soldiers beside him to say, "Send the order, the entire army will detach the camp and withdraw from the Nicosia Basin." A general next to him quickly reminded: "General, our siege equipment has been almost done. Are you giving up attacking Nicosia?"

Hannibal said anxiously: "It's too late to explain. If we are late, we will be in a disaster! Don't talk nonsense, all troops quickly reorganize their troops and withdraw from Nicosia. You don't need those well-built siege equipment! Just take food, grass, and horses to evacuate as quickly as possible."

The sound of the trumpet of the army gathering sounded in Hannibal's camp, and all the troops drove out of the camp in panic and drove towards the open entrance of the basin in the southwest. They were so urgent that they didn't even have time to line up and destroy the abandoned camps.

Just as these tens of thousands of rebels surged towards the open mouth of the basin, there were also seven or eight armies with nearly 10,000 troops coming from the southwest and heading towards the open mouth of the Nicosia Basin. The difference is that they were Roman troops. Previously, the Roman troops distributed in the central Sicily gathered in several inconspicuous small cities centered on Nicosia and within a radius of 100 miles. After receiving the notification from Feng Yu within one or two days, they rushed one after another.

In the afternoon of that day, nearly 30,000 Roman troops gathered at the opening of the Nicosia Basin, just thirty miles of defense, accounting for 90% of Feng Yu's troops on Sicily. A line of troops completely sealed the entrances and exits of the basin, with shields stacked, crowded, and flags flying.

Hannibal secretly complained when he saw this scene. He made up his mind, drew out his sword, pointed to the Roman army's defense line and said, "Kill! Before they had built the fortifications, break through with all their strength!"
