Chapter 11 Chinodosha Chinodosha (Part 2)

Li Bida's order was just a threat. After entering the city, the Fourth Legion did carry out a short and effective robbery, but as long as the citizens of Chinodosha who stayed in their original homestead, their lives were still guaranteed, but the property was hard to say. After efficiently converting the property captured by the Soldiers Committee, they used part of the money to pay it up and distributed it to the "meritorious soldiers". Then they transported the finances along the safe riverside and used their own pack horse team to the Temple of Banbixi to find Governor Crasso to calculate and cash it.

The real disaster was the tyrant Apollonius. As a symbol of victory, Li Bida would not let this person go. He and his mercenary guards were squeezed to the edge of the river, with neither bridge nor ships. He soon paid the price for his stupidity. He was killed by the Romans with his wife and children with the general. Then the Fourth Legion imitated the habits of the Assyrians, cut off their left ears and left hands, put them in sacks, and sent them back to the governor's winter camp with the spoils.

Then, the Fourth Legion quickly occupied the key points of the city's towers, forts and temples, and set up a warning checkpoint on the passage, driving all citizens out, allowing them to carry necessary utensils, such as stoves, blankets, stone mills, clothes and tents, and distributed some flour and grain to them, circled these people with wooden fences, and sent an infantry brigade to guard them. On the third day, a new order was issued in the Mufence camp: the Roman Syrian Governor's Office requisitioned everyone, used food and silver as subsidies, and sent soldiers to serve as supervisors to start demolishing farms and houses in the suburbs, and the bricks and wood obtained were used to expand and renovate the city of Chinodosha.

Li Bida's plan required that the focus was to strengthen the city wall. The exterior wall was built along the periphery of Chinodosha. This exterior wall was a duplex structure. In front was a half wall that was at the waist of the people, used to block the charge of the Parthians' war horses. Between the half wall and the back wall was a standard Roman trench, with pointed wooden stakes inside, and eight Roman rulers were built with soil, and stone throwers were laid out on the outside, and stone throwers and rod throwers were erected. Between the exterior wall and the original Chinodosha old city wall, not only camps, warehouses, and stables were erected, but two simple flying bridges were also set up in the air to facilitate personnel to fight.

This workload is very large, and the Fourth Legion not only forced all the citizens in the city to fight, but also recruited laborers throughout the city.

When Apollonius's ears and hands arrived in Jucma's winter camp, Crassus was extremely excited and immediately set up the altars of Juno, Apollo and King Numa in the camp, mixed the dead bodies of these deceased people's internal organs, and publicly sacrificed their ears. At this time, his son Crassus, who happened to bring two thousand Idui cavalry donated by Caesar, came to meet. He also brought the letter of condolences from the Gallic Governor, and the gifts equivalent to three hundred Uberytarent. In Caesar's letter, the great general Crassus's "God of War" was the "God of War" in Caesar's letter.

The quick" action praised the old man again, "The achievements comparable to Alexander the Great are right in front of you. Don't ignore your determination and enthusiasm and save and liberate your friends from Parthia's iron hooves. I can foresee that when you are two to three years later, when you are triumphant, there will be three hundred to five hundred in Mesopotamia and even the Baqutria region. The liberated free cities are scattered and shared allegiance to praise the greatness of the Republic. How spectacular it will be!"

In another secret letter from Caesar to Li Bida, it was described as follows: "Crassus' army was not used properly. He left the elite combat-capable force in Jukema and Antioch to garrison, and with three or four corpses formed quickly, he prepared to go deep into the barren land, and his cavalry and archers were too few, so you have to act according to the opportunity and not act as a burial object."

After putting down Caesar's letter, Li Bida sighed deeply and said to Sabo and Alp that everything will depend on himself soon!

At the same time, the Dongdu of the Parthian Empire, Tessifon, and the cavalry sent the tragic news of Chinodosha to Hellod. The other party handed the message to Surena beside him in a sarcastic manner. "The astrological officer of Chalde told me that in this winter, the starlight of Sagittarius will be extremely dim. Do we really have no luck?"

After understanding the situation, Surena clearly told the king, "Don't be depressed by the war situation of Chinodosha. My 'Asses' (the Parthians called the king's title) is now gathered in Taisifon's seven Rong tribes, and there are still no less than 100,000 people. Although your younger brother Mindaz still occupied the city of Seleulia to rebel, Crassus or the Roman army of Chinodosha. If you want to get closer, you must cross the desert area between two great rivers.

We can still win. My plan is that Assassin, you will lead other troops to the north to seize the city of Chinodosha and eat the Roman divisions. The Ubertnian and Armenian troops will go south to cooperate with your attacks, and divide some of the troops, and give them to Selsius and Vagisius to continue besieging your brother and not let him move freely - while I will take private cavalry and take the servants and infantry of the Mesopotamian area to fight against Crassu's main force in the Syrian desert."

"How did you learn that Crassus will definitely go deep into the Syrian desert?"

"Because of the careful reward, after the death of Apollonius of Chinodoza, the Romans of Jucomma were all complacent. The arrogant and greedy man named Crassus openly asked the temples in Syria and Jerusalem to pay him money. In addition, he shamelessly asked all his subordinates to respect him as the "General Triumph". As long as we attack a Roman stronghold guarded by the lonely army, we can easily mobilize him to bring the main force to the final battle. Then he

The head of the house can get his long-cherished wish and triumphant Rome." Surena said in a frivolous tone, and then he hooked his fingers, and a fat Arab chief wearing a white robe stepped forward with a smile on his face. Surena introduced that the name Akbarus was the most powerful and wealthy person in the Red Sea to the Petra area, and he also hoped to help Parthia defeat the Romans, because Crassus's policies hindered his wealth.
