"Cyrus eats well, so let you taste it." - The note attached to the food given to his subordinates by Little Cyrus

Time is still abundant, so Alp also suggested that the teams can be trained step by step during this period. The Essians had basically never been exposed to bows and arrows before, so they could first cultivate their teams with simple single bows for hunting. The Vibichinas were the first to adapt to Nubia's compound bows and sent people to the Upper Egypt to purchase a large number of ready-made compound bows.

When the new Pathian bows and arrows were really placed in the center of the courtyard of Libida, all the Jiangzows had different expressions. Sabo and Gable were quite interested, while Anthony and Petterneus, a group of Roman officers born and raised by Hebrida, were disdainful of this. After Alp raised it, he put the strings on and pulled them all over, and his face suddenly became serious. He turned his head and said that even if the range of this bow was not as powerful as the legendary one, it was obviously more than half the distance of the ordinary bow. After that, he put the arrow on and put it in a distance. The arrow roared directly across the tower at a high place, flew far outside the yard before falling down.

Matthias ran out with his feet and came back with an arrow for a while. He reported the actual flight distance very accurately. He said that the arrow was stuck on the trunk of the tree. It took him a lot of effort to pull it out and pulled off a large piece of bark.

"This is natural, because the arrow cluster has a zigzag barb, plus a sharp edge, which is enough to shoot through the legion's curtains or shields first. And during the removal process, most of the arrow-hit people will be involved in the flesh and blood, and life is worse than death, or death directly." Li Bida narrowed his speech and looked at the light reflected by the arrow cluster and said softly.

On the other hand, the conclusions of Alp and Seerha were also come out. The difference between the Parthian bow and the ordinary composite bow is that it is cut with elastic thin iron sheets in the middle, which is in the shape of a "3" when not in use. It greatly increases the arc of the bow and arrow. After the string is put on the string, it will be round "e" shape. The iron sheet just plays a stable support left and right. Alp also added that the Parthian bow also uses special materials. The general composite bow just needs to tie the strings made of tendons and tendons to the slight, and each is covered with a hollow ring made of bones, which can play the greatest leverage effect and make the strings stretch to the limit. It also makes the range reach the limit. Of course, the piercing force and penetration force calculated are enough to be described as horror. It can indeed shoot through our armor and shields.

"This bow is long and short on the top and the bottom is also especially suitable for use on horseback, which can shoot deadly arrow feathers in galloping." Alp squeaked and pulled the bow strings hard again, saying.

Then he saw that the commander-in-chief's face changed, partly excited and partly fearful. Li Bida understood how much threat would a weapon like Parthia take their fast horse?

"We also need to imitate this kind of bow and arrow, no matter how the training progress is. Even if we set off to sea, we can still marching and training." The commander-in-chief sat on a stone chair and murmured to give this order. Anthony and others next to us were puzzled at all. They did not understand why this person was so depressed by the nomadic barbarian's bow and arrow and actually formed a larger proportion of archers?

Soon, Crasso's transfer order indeed arrived at Cyrenaga City. Li Bida could only take one step at a time. He led two established legions, four archers and two cavalry auxiliary brigades, and two cavalry auxiliary brigades, and took the lead in riding the south wind of the continent of Apherica. Yang Fan sailed to the port of Comers in Crete. Just as he was about to repair the damaged ship, he actually learned that Crasso's fleet was too lazy to stay in Crete, and drove directly to Xiaoya in the wind.

After passing by Li Bida, Petterneus asked the commander-in-chief carefully, "As a rule, we should be the vanguard of the division, and now let the Governor go ahead." Li Bida stared at him and said that no matter what others were, we must make steady progress. When the supplies were replenished and the wind was favorable, we would go to Rhodes and then arrive in Ephesus."

As a result, Libida arrived at Ephesus two days later than Crasus. Fortunately, Crasus was not anxious. His camp was scattered in every corner of the suburbs, with no rules. The soldiers could enter and exit the theaters and markets at will. Only the First Syrian Legion led by Deputy General Otaguves and the cavalry commanded by Kasio still followed the Roman style and set up camp rigorously. Now, two Lebida's legions and auxiliary brigades have to be added.

"You must recruit cavalry and light infantry from various provinces, as well as kings of vassal states to join the war." When Libida and Kasio found Crasso at the Apollo Temple in Ephesus, the expedition commander was working hard with a group of accounting slaves, using a scale plate and papyrus. After approval, Kasio took one of the volumes and almost pissed his nose. It turned out that Crasso was doing such a thing: he frequently met with the city-states of the kingdom, Thrace, Peloponnese, Bitinia, etc., but instead asked them for precious servants, auxiliary troops, or military horses, they said to them, "If you do not want to participate in this expedition and fulfill your obligations to Rome, then hand over the appropriate amount of Tarent silver and exempt them from military service."

"As a result of the intestine divination officer, this expedition is full of dangers." Kasillo, the finance officer of Syrian province, shouted at Li Bida at the entrance of the temple, "You must solve this matter, he should listen to you the most."

Li Bida stood there for a while and nodded to Kassi. After all, he was in the same boat and then entered the temple again. "Your Excellency, I must remind you that it is fine to have military service in small city-states and small kingdoms, but the four countries of Egypt, Gerasha, Ubertnia and Armenia must not be exempted."

"But Ptolemy of Egypt is separated by the ocean, I think..." Crassus replied absent-mindedly, busy in front of the scale plate and the calculation.

"Don't worry, he will provide ships and food." Li Bida said with certainty, because Diotus wrote in advance that when Ptolemy heard that you were going to Syria, he immediately remembered his previous friendship. Fifty large ships and considerable grains were being transported to Silesia, and then sent to Gerasha to stockpile. "And I will first take the guards and hurry to Ubertnia and Armenia, because like Syria, it is close to the front line of war, and there may be any changes at any time. We must stabilize the hearts of the monarchs and convey the conditions of the republic!"
