The Cantabrians arrived in the city of Emerita Augusta, the traps that had been placed around the city fulfilled their mission by killing some thousands of Cantabrians who arrived at night and did not pay attention to their surroundings, the traps were holes in the ground with wooden stakes, also in all the meadow that surrounds the city was placed metal shavings, debris from vases and glass, which delayed the placement of the camp for the siege
16 of Maius from 21 ac
The commander and king of the Cantabrian tribes Corocotta, ordered that they sent the Roman slaves who had captured to clean the field when these slaves approached 200 meters from the city a rain of arrows fell on them
Flavio gave the order that it does not matter if it is Roman or Cantabrian anyone who approaches 200 meters must be killed, sometimes kindness is more expensive than cruelty since the Cantabrians are wild they will have equally wild tactics, therefore it is better to kill than to be killed
Corocotta was surprised to see this scene did not know who was the enemy commander but he could know that perhaps this site would not be so simple, throughout the afternoon and night the slaves continued to approach to be received with arrows.
17 of Maius from 21 ac
Corocotta stopped sending slaves to die and ordered that they begin to build wooden mantlets to avoid the arrows (remember that they do not know that Flavio uses a crossbow and no arrows) and stairs to climb the walls, unfortunately, there were no trees nearby. they cut themselves, Corocotta sighed and had to bring wood from afar.

The city of emerita Augusta is surrounded, corocotta tried to attack the fortifications of the river (Islands), but the ballista of the wall destroyed the canoes that approached, while a rain of bolts charged the life of the adventurers, no matter how much covered with shields they were crossed, after the failed attack the Cantabrians decided to wait before launching a large-scale attack
10 of Iunius from 21 ac
It has been 21 days since the site of the city was completed, Corocotta knows that if it takes longer reinforcements will arrive if he decided to launch a massive attack at noon, he hoped to take the city at night.
