Augustus Road

The entire quarry was full of figures of light shield soldiers from both sides chasing and throwing back and forth. The uneven terrain hindered the order of the solid march of the Pontic Bronze Shield Army. The queues of many battalions began to become chaotic, and they were shaking. Amidst the soul-stirring sound of the trumpet, Menander suddenly saw that on the high ground to his right, there was a lightly armed Bosporan army moving rapidly, and it seemed that there were signs of cutting off the phalanx's retreat.

Just when Menander was about to detach three battalions to deal with the threat on the flanks - there was another ear-piercing whistle, and the Romans came back again! This time, the soldiers of the Centurion, led by veterans, were divided into camps and tents. They flexibly followed the mud pits, stairs, and large rocks in the quarry, and hacked into the various battalions of Lin San's capital from all directions. The first three or four battalions to board the quarry were caught in a melee. The Roman soldiers were fierce and brave, and the veterans were especially skilled in combat. Many people just grabbed the spears of the Bronze Shield soldiers and cut them off with their swords, and then penetrated. Go in and launch a personal thrust. The Bronze Shield Army is also the elite honorary army of the capital. Although the veterans lost most of them in the previous years of battles, the newly recruited soldiers are still inspired by the glory of their troops. Many people use their spears even if their spears are cut off. The end with the hammer tip continued to fight to the death, until all the armored soldiers in the first few rows were hacked to death and stabbed to death, and many people began to retreat in panic.

At this time, the sun was blocked by winter clouds again, and huge shadows were spread on the battlefield again. The Romans' advantage was back! The veterans in the front row kept squeezing the Pontic phalanx downward, while the strong recruits in the back row kept throwing heavy javelins towards the phalanx below, trying to break the deadlock and win.

Menander was very anxious. The soldiers only fought against the enemy in front of them and did not see the danger of the entire battlefield. However, standing in the command position, he understood that once the Bosporan army on the high ground on the right was killed, the Roman troops on the right would be ready to move. If the cavalry takes a roundabout route, the Bronze Shield Army in this division is in danger of being outflanked and annihilated.

"It seems that we are going to win." Karabis, who was standing on a higher slope to watch the battle, said, Helen Putina on one side glanced at him and then turned back.

"Hey, the queen just laughed secretly." Ella, who was sitting in front of Karabis, told Karabis in a very mysterious tone.

Suddenly, in the forest on the edge of the high ground on the side of the entire battlefield, piles of branches used to cover the trees were knocked down, and then quickly walked out from inside with spears, six rows deep, and troops with a wide front. They wore similar to The Celtic helmets of the Romans, or the round Chalkian helmets with a nose guard, did not even blow the battle horn, but approached the Bosporan army who was about to attack in a roundabout way without realizing the danger. He drove in fiercely from the side.

In front of the rows of spear points, the blood of the Bosphorus light troops without even armor was like flying flowers. They fell in pieces and turned into piles of corpses. What followed was almost a smooth journey of this ambush. Push - After killing and wounding more than 200 people, the Bosporans simply did not have the courage to fight anymore, and the entire line collapsed towards the Acropolis.

This change is too fast!

Calabis, who was under the banner of the Eagle, was stunned for a moment, as if he had been hit with a stick - yes, it was Adiana's new model army. He originally thought that Mithridates would use it as a reserve force. I didn’t expect it to be used here—damn it, my thoughts were clearly laid out in front of Adiana like snow under the sun.

On the wooden floor of the Pontu camp, Adiana smiled proudly, her white teeth exposed. Then she looked at the generals around her and felt that she was a little out of control, so she covered it with her hands, but continued to eat. Eat, a pair of bright eyes become crooked.

"Calabis, Amphora, you have done well in Rome, and you are actually able to bring an army with you to fight against me. But I, Adiana, want you to understand clearly this time. , there is always a difference between a true king and a servant like you."

After expelling Calabis's left-wing Bosporan servant army, Adiana's new model army all placed their spears on the ground and inserted them, then pulled out the Greek-style broad-bladed sword from the sword belt, Taking off the bucklers from their backs and holding them in their hands, their centurions and flag-bearers waved the tasseled flags. All the members lined up in a loose formation similar to the Romans and charged from the high ground with shouts. Down.

On the wooden floor, Adiana, who witnessed the coordinated movements of her new model army, smiled even more happily. It could be said that she leaned forward and backward, and then slowly walked down the stairs, as if she had seen all the endings.

"Calabis, you have to tell them to withdraw, otherwise they will be surrounded and annihilated!" Helenputina didn't care about fighting with Nico's father anymore. She yelled twice, rode her white horse and went to quarry. Rushing to the battlefield, Ella took Calabis, and together with Elcapa, quickly followed the queen.

The quarry was full of broken weapons and stains of blood. Many wounded soldiers were lying behind the front ranks, simply bandaging each other. They saw their legion envoys. Although some were injured, they still struggled to reach the envoys. Saluting means that they can still fight after taking a short rest. A few centurions, whose soldiers were still intact, were squatting on the spot, waiting for the front-line brothers who were fighting fiercely in front of the relay. When they saw the envoys coming riding other people's horses, many soldiers' faces were filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

"Now, leave some of the centurions behind, and the rest of the teams will retreat to the preset positions behind, the sooner the better!" Karabis shouted loudly on horseback.

His words were immediately heard by Hebrida, who was resting after taking a turn. This newly promoted senior centurion had an injured right arm. Two of his comrades were bandaging his wound. He couldn't help but roar after hearing this: "I will soon defeat these Greeks with bronze shields, and then pierce their backs and anuses with the Pirum javelin. Karapis, you are actually asking me to retreat and run away now?"

"If we don't retreat, the Thirteenth Legion's advance team will be finished!" Karapis also roared, "Our left wing has collapsed, we must conserve our strength, and if we hold the Acropolis, we can still fight a counterattack. Hope of victory - hurry up, Pope is there to meet us."

"Who is willing to lose to that stinky little bitch Adiana!"

"I am not willing to accept it either. This hatred must be avenged in the future, but not today! Hebrida, you bastard, if you are willing to abandon the eagle flag of our legion in this wilderness, like the Eighth Legion before, which has suffered great humiliation so far, then you should fight to the death in this quarry like a fool!" After saying that, Carabis waved his hand, and the messengers and buglers around him blew the horn for the retreat of the entire army, and the sad voice echoed throughout the sky.
