You will have an enemy whois blind to these arts of war. " A thousand horse and a thousand foot, under the command of Mago, having been thus sent off, Hannibal ordersthe Numidian cavalry to ride up, after crossing the river Trebia bybreak of day, to the gates of the enemy, and to draw them out to abattle by discharging their javelins at the guards; and then, when thefight was commenced, by retiring slowly to decoy them across theriver. These instructions were given to the Numidians: to the othe...rleaders of the infantry and cavalry it was commanded that they shouldorder all their men to dine; and then, under arms and with theirhorses equipped, to await the signal. Sempronius, eager for thecontest, led out, on the first tumult raised by the Numidians, all thecavalry, being full of confidence in that part of the forces; then sixthousand infantry, and lastly all his army, to the place alreadydetermined in his plan. It happened to be the winter season and asnowy day, in the region which lies between the Alps and the Apennine, and excessively cold by the proximity of rivers and marshes: besides, there was no heat in the bodies of the men and horses thus hastily ledout without having first taken food, or employed any means to keep offthe cold; and the nearer they approached to the blasts from the river, a keener degree of cold blew upon them.
