Chapter 33 Respect (Part 1)
"The servants are sometimes brought into courteous high-prostitutes, sometimes shy handsome young men, sometimes his wife." - The fourth century BC Greek historians depict the Etruscan banquet depicting the Etruscans.

The injuries were getting more and more, and the horse's corpse fell under the wall. Dussenvier couldn't help it. He began to ask his subordinates to assemble several bronze kits and then fill them with rice and oil. This was the rhythm of using an improved bellows. Originally, Li Bida asked the affiliated cavalry brigade to carry two of these things to deal with the possible Hashidi fleet on the river, but Anthony was very disgusted with this thing and was quite steadfast to the ghosts and gods, so he never liked his subordinates to mention this thing. Anyway, it was just to disassemble the mules and horses and try not to transport it to the war.
Now, among the clusters of arrows, Dussenvier could not care about so many. He quickly set up two bellows, one facing the gap in the wall, which was the focus of the Hashidi people's next round of attacks, and the other facing the water.
"What are you doing, using this disgusting thing." Anthony angrily crushed the floor and closed Dussonvier's shoulder and scolded. It was obvious that in the eyes of this military civil servant, the shooting of the crossbow with flint bullets was the truth of the scholastic school, and this cannon that could spew out a whole stream of fire was a rebellious monster.
"Even if it is disgusting, we have to use it now. Nearly half of the casualties are killed and the reinforcements seem to have been cut off. We can only rely on this to defend!" Dussenvier pushed Anthony away without hesitation and ordered his subordinates to ignite the bellows.
At this time, hundreds of Hashidi people were wearing armor and torches and approached the open gaps of several crescent-shaped walls. Then a thunderous sound rang in the air. A red light like lightning flashed, illuminating the distance between several Stadias in the radius. The first time it almost flew over all Hashidi people's scalp, but many people also stayed in place with weapons, and before they could react. The second time the adjusted fire dragon directly hit the middle of the crowd, and instantly the stinking sound of the burning sound rose, and countless people were burned running around like a torch of moving desire. This power, this feeling of despair, Anthony, who was staying behind the wall reflected by the flames, and even Dussenvier were stunned.
Then, the third and fourth strokes were gone, and the entire Hashidi's attack troops were burned like ants on a hot pan, scattering everywhere, and their bodies were unable to resist the power of flames after all.
Then, in addition to the flames burning everywhere, the battlefield also fell silent.
Less than a sixth moment, the harsh trumpets and warriors scared Anthony and Dussenvier to death, because the sound was approaching rapidly from the rear, initially in a mess, and then in a dense rhythm. This was the Thousand Team of Highbreda, mostly scarred, broke through the interception along the way, entered the abandoned camp, and saw the fire and corpses everywhere, this person was shocked. If he had been late for a day or two and entangled in the nameless fortress on the cliff, he would have probably ended up with the two thousand people.
After the two sides joined, they were nestled in the camp. Under the blue smoke, the dusk was deep, and it seemed that the Hashidi people had retreated a lot. Anthony directly said to Hebrida, "The remnants of the two infantry corps are allocated to you to lead you. I and the Gauls ride in front and open the way back, and you serve as the defender."
Without thinking much, Hebrida saluted Anthony and then began to set up a front line. Anthony left both bellows for this person, and then took hundreds of Vibichenas who could still fight on horseback, taking advantage of the night to slump and rushed to the cliff behind.
At noon the next day, Anthony's cavalry team, each of them, was not like humans, ghosts, and they swayed with Petterneus's brigade. After Petterneus had a little understanding of the situation, he asked to send troops to go in and pick up Hebrida who was standing. Anthony and Faobinas volunteered at the same time and were willing to return.
Until the early morning of the third day, all of them finally came out. Before leaving, Hebrida broke and dismantled two bellows at the same time and threw them into the Tostone River.
In this battle, Li Bida's aggressive plan went bankrupt. Not only did he fail to raid the Yazda Fortress as planned, he was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. Everyone was most grateful that the Hashidi believers were still mobs. If it were warlike tribes in the desert or the powerful forces in the civilized world, whether it was the chief thousand-man brigade of the Thirteenth Legion, the affiliated cavalry brigade, and several auxiliary brigades, they would really be lost in this gentle and beautiful valley.
Li Bida, who stood next to Apollo Spring, was very dull and said nothing. In the end, he decided to stick to the winter camp and treat the wounded, and not take any military measures against the Yazda Fortress for the time being.
Even if Hebrida asked to remove the nameless fortress on the cliff, Li Bida severely rejected it. All the battles will be completed in one go when the spring season comes.
The fortress of Yazda was filled with joy, and there were a lot of abandoned things from the Romans at the corner of the platform, such as helmets, cloaks, shields, weapons, etc. David Angit, the "Sword of Messiah", came here to celebrate the victory with everyone. Then, he asked Pattien to withdraw his garrison for the nameless fortress and concentrate all the main forces to stick to it, because no matter how stupid the Romans were, they probably wouldn't be fooled for the second time.
"What is the novelty of the other party in this battle? Compared with those of the Cyrene City Army?" David picked up a flame-tongued flag in the pile of trophys, and asked Pattien and others who were accompanying him behind.
"It is true that they have something that can spew out extremely long flames and burn our soldiers, just like the lightning of the night." Pattien did not hide it at all.
David Angit frowned and thought hard according to his subordinates' description. Then he quickly walked to the battlement at the top of the fortress, staring at the naval base in the hillside and water bay on the other side. The external protection measures were to use several Roman ruler wooden stakes to form a half-moon-shaped circle with iron chains hanging in the middle.
"That won't work. As soon as possible, we will transport stone bricks from Cyrani, build a moon-shaped wall around the stake, and build towers, lay crossbows and fuel."
After a while, Parthian looked at him and then said, "This valley corridor only has wood and earth, and there is no qualified stone."
"That's why I asked me to transport these things from Cyrani." David Angitt was puzzled.
