Augustus Road

Surena's light cavalry rushed directly to the swamp, where the Roman soldiers who were stuck in the mud and shot to death stood straight with half of their exposed bodies, their heads hanging down like sculptures, "hunting the Romans." Governor!" This is the death order received by all cavalry.

At this time, Eugutavis, who was in the vanguard, was less than fifty furlongs away from reaching the city of Ikni. However, after discovering that the Governor had disappeared, he ordered the chief battalion of the first legion to go to the castle first. , taking the remaining five thousand soldiers, he wanted to turn back to meet the governor.

But many centurions refused to obey his orders. These people surrounded Ogutavis, loudly reminding him that the entire army had collapsed, and the governor was also uncertain about his life or death in the chaos. He was running back to save him, maybe he would be killed along the way. All the elites in the Syrian province would end up like Casillo's Sixth Army, which would be extremely irresponsible to the entire republic.

Eugutavis became angry, and he shouted, "Thanks to the fact that many of you have served with me under the great Pompey. We started from the eradication of pirates, Crete, Cyprus, and then went to Armenia, Benth All the way to Colchis, Judea and Petra, did anyone abandon General Pompey, leaving a consul of the republic to be captured by the enemy in the desert of the East? Even insulting is the greatest irresponsibility for the reputation of the Republic." These words made many centurions feel ashamed, and they gathered all their elite weapons and shields together and rushed back with Eugutavis.

At this time, Crassus climbed up the hillside of the remaining line of Sinaka in despair. The Parthian light cavalry below was only less than three or five furlongs away from him, but fortunately the other flanking lieutenant, Petro, led Several hundred remaining subordinates. Approaching the governor from the pass, Surena's subordinates shot a sharp whistle into the sky. This was the signal that they had discovered the Roman governor. Then the light cavalry and the oven cavalry came rolling in, surrounding Crassus. On the hillside. But fortunately there was an antenna here to rely on. The Parthians only dared to shoot arrows from a distance for the time being. The soldiers of the three legions protected the governor to the death, formed a shield array, and took advantage of the height to throw light javelins down the mountain. He actually repelled several charges from the opponent.

Soon, all of Surena's own troops arrived, and the general once again rode to the front of the battle in person, waving the double-headed flag of the horned viper and the viper, and shouted to all his elite subordinates, "I have read the Greek Those literati recorded the history of the Roman conquests. They suffered a tragic defeat in Samnai, and the consuls and troops were all captured. At that time, the brave men of Samnai asked the tribal elders for instructions on how to deal with the Romans. There were two answers, one was to kill them all, the other was to treat them well and then put them all back, but the brave men adopted a compromise method and let the Roman consul and all his subordinates get through the yoke gate, humiliating them completely. Then he released them. What a stupid move, so now there is no longer a kingdom of Samona! In comparison, the humiliation we gave to this Roman army was not enough!

All the cavalry raised their spears and bows and shouted in unison, Surena was right: they killed more than 10,000 Romans, destroyed their camp on the Barisus River, and destroyed the Romans. Their governor chased them like a rabbit for three days and nights, beheading many tribunes and centurions. He also killed Crassus' son. If you let the tiger go back to the mountain now and let even one Roman go, he will come back with the revenge army of the Roman Republic to seek your bad luck in the future. That city-state will be a hydra. People all over the world know that they must either kill this strange snake or be conquered by it and become a slave.

Surena raised his hands in the air, "So, don't let go of their governor, don't let any enemy soldiers go. We didn't provoke this group of people before. They set foot in our country, burning, killing and looting, just for satisfaction." Let us answer them with our gluttonous greed, with arrows and spears, let their breasts be filled with dirty blood, their throats drink with bronze spear points, and let all their widows at home mourn. Cry, so that their children will never have the courage to enter this land full of corpses and horrors, the land that belongs to us Parthians!”

"Without any mercy!" Surena's cavalry then let out the wolf-like battle cry again in unison, cutting off the Roman's head and right hand hanging under the saddle, and trampling the entire land into chaos. Trembling, he once again rushed towards the hillside where Crassus was guarding. At this time, Crassus, wrapped in a cloak, also encouraged the soldiers loudly, "All enemies are like gamblers. This is all their desperate efforts, but We will still be the winners of this game, kids, take it easy, it only took me ten years to accumulate seven thousand talents of assets, just to get to Ikni immediately, and then transfer them to Take out some of it and reward the brave men today. Don't be afraid. Hold on to the sword and shield in your hands like me. I am already a sixty-year-old man. Do you think your situation is worse than mine? After Kni escapes from danger, give me another three years, and it will be me, Marcus Licinius Crassus, who destroys the Citadel!"

But a figure quickly moved around Crassus. He quickly put his sword against the man's back. The other person was the deputy general Petro who was trying to escape. "Don't mess with an old guy who has no nostalgia, because I When my wrath comes, the whole world will be buried with me," Crassus said coldly.

Petro had no choice but to bite the bullet, turn around, and continue to stand at the front, commanding the team to resist with Crassus. At this moment, Crassus kept giving clear instructions. He asked the soldiers to keep calm, not to forget the most basic commands and combat skills in previous training, and to crouch down to avoid the enemy's flying arrows, because if they shot on horseback, most of the arrows would pass over our heads. There was no need to be afraid of such bluffing, "Wait until the enemy reaches 90 Roman feet before throwing the light javelin! Don't throw the heavy javelin Pirum in a panic, hold it well, and hold it diagonally upwards, and the enemy cavalry will not dare to approach you!"

Under the personal efforts of the governor, hundreds of Roman soldiers actually defeated Surena's elite cavalry charge twice in a row. The enemy was unable to outflank and could only gallop in front of the prey in vain, causing Crassus to laugh contemptuously.

The shocking sound of military trumpets was accompanied by a fierce fight - the five thousand soldiers of Octavius ​​rushed across the twelve furlongs of plain in one breath, broke the harassment of the small group of Parthian cavalry, and raised the eagle flag and filed up the hillside amid cheers to meet Crassus. The Romans were even more courageous now. They collectively beat their shields and laughed loudly at the Parthian cavalry who were retreating.
