Chapter 14 Lentils (Part 2)

In Jukema's winter camp, Kasio, who had finally set off, was walking around the camp of a legion in a rain, shouting loudly, asking the civilians to "keep care of all the horses and mules, and not let them get sick easily, cross the river in the future, no matter how bad the environment is, you cannot abandon the precious animals." At the same time, he asked the soldiers to tie their luggage and military shoes, but after arriving at Sinaca, they would store the valuable soft and soft, "Don't bring them in the equipment around you, otherwise the whole society will become the spoils of the Parthians." After saying this, even Kasio realized that he was doing the same stupid thing as Crassu, which would hit the confidence of the soldiers, but he could not bear it. After his subordinates died in the desert, they could not even send half a silver coin back to their family. This was the most miserable situation.

At this time, in front of the main gate of the camp, other legions had already opened toward the floating bridge. The flag-master of the first legion carried the eagle flag and prepared to guide all the officers and soldiers out of the camp along the established route. However, the black sky fell in orange lightning, not the shape of a spider's feet, but a group that made people feel extremely terrifying. It seemed that it was rolling around on everyone's heads, making a terrifying explosion. The heavy rain and strong winds mixed with the strong wind actually made the flag-master of the first legion lose their minds for a short time. He turned the eagle's head over and turned to the direction of the camp. This was also the most unlucky sign in the Roman army, because the eagle and lightning were both the incarnation of Jupiter, which was extremely powerful but also coexisting with danger. Now turning to his own camp means that his army will suffer great disasters.

But Kassie Jo has calmed down now, and he understands that it will be no good for anyone to continue to be in a daze. He quickly and sternly replaced the new flag-holding officer, and then asked all officers and soldiers to prohibit discussions on the topic of divine prophecy. The violators were executed immediately and the bodies were thrown into the Euphrates River.

In the raindrops, several legions of Crasso were storming in a row, and they could not see them from beginning to end. Under the terrifying lightning, most soldiers shrank their heads under their cloak in fear, followed the comrades in front of them blankly, and stepped on the pontoon bridge. Suddenly, the most huge lightning strike fell rapidly like colorful rocks, falling into the water on both sides of the pontoon bridge. Then the waves surged wildly. The ships acting as bridge piers in the middle of the pontoon bridge were suddenly swept away, and the bridge deck was also split into pieces. A considerable number of soldiers fell into the water immediately and were swept away. As a result, with the brave persistence of several military civilian officials, they finally reunite them in the evening.

The next afternoon, when Kasio walked on the last legion and crossed to the other side of the Euphrates River, the thunderstorm continued to fall. "I heard that when the camp was established last night, the statue pillars of gods were buried as signs. They were destroyed by lightning and lightning both times." A civilian guard who pulled up the long fence with the soldiers said to Kasio.

Just as many people were still worried, another shocking incident occurred during dinner. Many centurions and soldiers shouted loudly in the camp because they had collected the food rationed by the scale officer. When they brought it back and opened the bag to prepare a fire to cook, they realized that the bag was not filled with common food such as chickpeas, garlic, flour, and fat pork. It turned out to be lentils and salt. Anyway, the centurion who first encountered this unlucky thing described it, these two things were used by the Romans to pay tribute to the dead.

Finally, the food distribution incident was scattered by Crasus and his staff using the omnipotent excuse of making trouble by the Parthians. The scale officer on duty was also beaten by Crasus with a stick, and then the head was cut off with fascism to show punishment. In this way, the team of nearly 40,000 people expressed their willingness to continue to move towards Sinaca.

When they arrived at Sinaca, the thunder and heavy rains stopped magically. The Roman legion was at least Crassus himself. After watching the May weather in Syria, the water and mud disappeared without a trace in just one day, he soon regained his confidence, "This is just the boring curse of the despicable civil guard Atius. Now it has disappeared, and our army should continue to move forward. Because the urgent intelligence came, the Mindaz of the city of Seleulia

, due to lack of supplies, it has been difficult to persevere for a long time." Then, out of a cautious attitude, he temporarily let the army stationed in Sinaca, and then sent several teams of cavalry, one team to the temporary governor of the Kale City in front, Copponnius, and asked him to report the situation of the Parthians in front of him; one team to Li Bida of the city of Chinodosha in the northeast, invited him to fight on the side, restrain the troops of Herod, and try his best to get assistance from the various kingdoms of Xiaoya.

After a market, the news of Libida was not returned, but Copponnius replied that he and the chief brigade of the Sixth Legion were still in the city of Kale, because the figures of Parthians were everywhere in the hills and wilderness. They had gathered a huge army, with no less than 10,000 cavalrymen passing here and moving towards Sinaqa. I would like to ask the Governor to prepare for the fight first.

Sure enough, two days later, the Roman camp had an encounter with the coming Parthian cavalry. Crassus put on military uniforms and looked from a distance from the tower of Sinaca. The figures of cavalry from other places were running back and forth everywhere. "Don't worry, our camp relies on the solid city walls, with a large number of rod-casting weapons and crossbows. The other party was just humiliating himself." Deputy General Eugutaves said confidently. As expected, Parthia's consecutive attacks were defeated, and the bodies of many people and horses were left in front of the Roman camp.

As a result, in the third morning, tens of thousands of cavalrymen in Parthia suddenly disappeared without a trace like the light breeze in the desert. The Romans' vanguard scouts in wolf-skins, within a distance of twenty furons in front of Sinaca, did not find any living people in Parthia, only horseshoe prints all over the mountains and fields, and the direction was towards the east.

"Pathia's cavalry retreated!" Crassus was very excited to confirm, and then he received a letter from Li Bida, who claimed that the army had been reorganized and could break into the area between the two rivers at any time, defeat Herod again and completely defeat it!

Seeing Li Bida say this, Crassus was also passionate, and immediately decided that the soldiers would not need to rest, but would immediately set off and rise up. In addition to leaving a small number of guard forces, the entire army rushed to Kale, chased Surena, and chased him and wiped him out!
