Chapter 13: The Heart of the Army (Part 2)

On the morning of the next morning when the night fog was gone, Hellod once thought he had won. The Cyranian legion opposite him had been defeated. In order to save most of the lives, Faubinas set up guard forces and fought fiercely with the Parthians on the hillside. However, Hellod believed that these tenacious Macedonian or Pioxia could no longer turn the situation around. He rode his entourage on horseback and rushed to the Roman camp with thousands of light cavalry. He was full of hope.

His own oven cavalry had captured this place, but outside a Furon, the Roman camp suddenly shot countless arrows and throwing stones, and Parthia Assassus's mount was shot dead. When he changed another horse in panic, the people who escaped from the camp later reported to him that the Roman right-wing cavalry had defeated his left wing and attacked and looted his camp. A considerable number of people were killed, and more fled in scattered.

"Nasica, this fool!" Herod roared sharply, then hurriedly took all the cavalry and quickly fled down the slope of Ramiyi and ran in the opposite direction. What he saw along the way made him frightened. The dead bodies of the Parthians were everywhere. Only then did he feel that he lost the melee, but before he could even feel sorry for him, suddenly, a light Roman unit appeared on the side, throwing spears and arrows at them at a very close distance, killing and injuring many young Parthian cavalry. This was Sabo's team. They always followed the Parthian brigade last night, and then launched a raid on the retreating King Guard.

Now, even the flag bearer around Hairod was caught in an arrow and fell off his horse. King Parthia fled like a defeated lion. He was angry and anxious all day long. All the Parthian cavalry followed him, and even dared not go back to the camp because they saw the Libida cavalry carrying the spoils galloping towards this place. They were shocked. Not only did they have any confrontation, but they ran to the small town of Aigela in one breath. After being shocked, they found that he had lost most of his female concubines and treasures. Many war horses were also captured by the Romans. After counting the casualties, Herod found that about two thousand to three thousand people were killed, and hundreds of nobles and tens of thousands of servants fled.

On this side, Li Bida also counted the list of soldiers, and killed 60 cavalrymen, 400 infantrymen, and nearly 100 missing people, and the injured were three times that of this number. Especially the Cyrene Legion, it is not an exaggeration to say that they suffered a miserable heavy blow.

But Ramiyi was still in his hands, so he immediately kept the Cyrene army in the camp and put the Serapis army on the defensive line, but after waiting for three days, until he saw Anthony's advance team appearing at the foot of the mountain, the Parthians did not launch a retaliatory attack.

So in the rain, the Roman soldiers lined up and walked down the mountain. They began to converge in the wilderness of the Romans across the confrontation zone, burying the bodies of the dead on both sides. In such humid weather, the Parthians would not go out to fight for bad luck because they were afraid that the bowstring could not be pulled.

On that day, the envoys of Hellod stood in Libida's tent. They asked the Romans to send back some dead bodies, all of whom were nobles and royal concubines. Libida replied that as long as he had an identity and a mark, he cleaned his or her body in the spirit of mercy, and strictly forbid soldiers to rob the jewelry on it. As a result, the envoys of Parthia took away the bodies of thirty mule carts.

"But the captured vulture-headed battle flag is the sign of my victory over you. I am not able to return it to His Excellency Hellod. Otherwise, he can fight again on a day and he is fully qualified to take it back." Li Bida, in a proud tone, flatly rejected the envoy's request to return the Parthian royal logo. "The chief envoy of your country once told me that if I appear in the city of Seleulia, his palms will grow hair." Then he stood up and said to the dejected envoys in a word, "Believe me, the hair will grow soon, and the old man will use this soon." Then he slowly raised an object from his robe and placed it carefully in the palm of the envoy's hand, which was a comb with the statue of the bighorn sheep......

In the town of Agela, Herod roared nervously. He asked the two generals Selhith and Vagisis to withdraw the elite main forces besieging the city of Seleulia first, come to join his battle group, and take the lead in defeating the abominable Libidaus's army; after a while, he kept writing urgent documents and sending them to Armenia, asking the "King of Kings" (now transformed into the carrion from the mouths of vultures on the holy mountain) to leave the army as soon as possible and attack the Romans with him.

In short, everything was terrible for him. Even the gorgeous carriage was smashed and robbed by Roman soldiers in the previous war. Many of his expenses had to be transported from the far away from the Taixi lockdown.

On the other hand, Libidaus, who was famous in the Battle of Mount Ramiy, won the rebellion of most barbarians between two seas (Black Sea and Caspian Sea). Several Greek city-states around Chinodosha also expressed their willingness to provide ships, manpower and military resources. Libida is now even more powerful than Xiaoya's princes. After throwing his defense to Anthony, he returned to Chinodosha. Together with Sabo and Petternius, he met the barbarians who came to visit him every day. These barbarian princes and dukes

They all enthusiastically praised Li Bida as "descendant of Rex Lius" and "Friend of the God of Venus", and expressed their desire to provide servants to fight for him, but most of them were rejected by Li Bida because he did not think these people were sufficient and reliable. Only a Mathian tribe from the mountains of the southern coast of the Caspian Sea attracted his attention, because Hanske, a subordinate from German, praised him for his handsomeness and strength after seeing the mount of the Mathian envoy in the stables in the city.

"So, let the Mathians dispatch a thousand light cavalry to accompany us! I can help their chief gain the status of Roman allies and allocate the spoils to the other party. By the way, Hanske, you serve as their supervisor, and do not let the scattering of these horse archers freely interfere with the pace of our army." Li Bida easily agreed to Hanske's request. Then, after properly relocating the other party's envoy, he walked to the stable under the protection of the Medegi Guards and inspected whether the mounts of these Mathians were true.
