Chapter 15 Horned Viper and Viper (Part 2)
At this time, Herod, who was stationed in Aigela, actually had no idea about the situation in Armenia. His channels for obtaining information were too slow, or his current mental and ideological methods were blinded by revenge. Many tribes continued to gather around him, and more noble warriors arrived in Aigela one after another. Herod also formulated a bold plan, which was to disguise himself as a disadvantage, induce Mount Ramiy and Libida of Chinodosha to attack him, and then encircle and annihilate him in the Maxinu Plain, then join the Armenian army, attack Anatolia, isolated and cut off the external transportation of the Roman Syrian province, and then completely eliminated it, so that the Parthian Empire could see the blue ocean.
However, Hellod felt that the military strength was still lacking, and he had to draw some of the siege of Seleulia, so he sent a transfer order to General Selheith, asking him to come with five thousand cavalry. As for the city, he would leave it to the old man Vagisis to continue to besiege. Anyway, the old man didn't like to run around.
As a result, Hellod had been waiting for a long time before, but could not wait for half of Selsith. In the end, he still sent a letter from Vagissis in the besieged formation. The old man complained: "Surena was too casual and did it. He just said that he could encircle and annihilate Crassu's team near Kale, and then transferred all the elites of General Selsith to his men for dispatch."
As a result, Hellod, like Crasus, slapped the letters hard, and was so angry that he was filled with smoke. He cursed all the servants and followers secretly and said, "It was only Surena's hand that crowned me, which was a boring ritual process. Did he really mistakenly think that it was his power to make my throne stable? No. It was precisely for stability that I had to deal with his family after the war was over." The servants around him bowed their bodies and told Assassin that they were willing to follow the will of the king forever to kill such a treacherous villain.
After losing his temper, Herod had no choice but to ask his subordinates to continue issuing documents urgently, requiring Armenia and the Kingdom of Ubertnia to dispatch troops as soon as possible. He was waiting for the opportunity to dispatch in Agela.
But Heyrod was still waiting. Libidaus didn't have the patience to let him "continue" to wait.
At the foot of Ramiyi, Helenputina, covered in a sassy cloak, and El Capa, carrying a crossbow on her back, rode her horse straight to the Roman camp on the top of the mountain, and then opened the tent, but found her daughter Niko, who was combing her rare neat braids. She sat upright on a small chair and played Egyptian beast-fighting chess with her father, "Is this too difficult for you? I can give you three spaces, Niko."
"No, father." Neko may have lived in the wild for too long and spoke in his mother's style. It was a kind of refined introduction like a warrior.
Then Li Bida looked up and saw Helenputina. The other party told him that after careful investigation, the Parthian who besieged the city of Seleulia went to support Surena. Herod's military strength was insufficient in front of him, and he seemed to be waiting for assistance.
"I'm still waiting for reinforcements from the north. Then I'm not polite. I will concentrate my military forces at once and drive Hayrod out of Agila City again. It would be better for him to go back to Taisiefon." Li Bida then touched his daughter's head and stood up, "This time we're going to play chess!"
Now, Li Bida's military strength can launch an independent attack on Hairod. Although the infantry brigade of the Fourth Legion did not complete it, Li Bida assigned barbarian cavalry including the Mathias to Paulus according to the local combat characteristics. There were four cavalry brigades, and the Germanic Hanske was appointed as the supervisor of the cavalry, while Helenputina was responsible for the guidance. In addition, Titus Polo was the chief centurion and assisted Paulus who had not yet fully entered his system. Li Bida felt very relieved. "The Fourth Legion is the vanguard of the entire army this time!" This is Li Bida's
The special reminder in the speech to the soldiers was that as for the Seventh Legion not only was fully organized under the leadership of Anthony, but also received the cooperation of the original elite cavalry brigade, Sabo was still Anthony's "army supervisor". In the end, Libida and Petneus jointly worked with the light-mounted Serapis Legion, plus several auxiliary archers, to serve as the rear-resistance force of the two legions in front. The Cyrenei Legion, which was severely damaged in the Battle of Mount Ramiy, was left in Zinodosha as the left-behind, and carefully repaired it, and could only lose this exciting opportunity to participate in the war with regret.
In this way, Libida, who was advancing in the fourth and seventh legions, approached the city of Agela again and came very quickly. He set up camps ten Romans away from the city, and repelled several invasions of Parthian cavalry. The Parthians had no choice but to lose their advantage, but on the other hand, Parthians had the advantage of the regular Roman legion, but Parthians did not have the ability to build fortifications and siege equipment. Three days later, Libida dug trenches around the frontier of Sinaca City, and arranged cavalry cannons and catapults at the farthest range.
Hellod, who was useless in the city, was anxious again. You must know that with Rome's mechanical engineering skills in the Greek world, his army was hard to match. So if Li Bida uses infantry and fortifications to push more crossbows and catapults to the city, Sinaka will soon be beaten into pieces, and his cavalry team will lose their support and be defeated. No, Hellod could no longer bear the second failure in front of Li Bida, and he couldn't help but be able to do so.
The resentment towards Surena who took away the new force at will was deeper. In particular, Li Bida's decisive battle letter was sent again, saying that he had prepared a chain to tie his neck, and that after the Romans sacrificed Maryrod's blood on Mount Vilia, they would treat Maryrod's wife and two sons well. This letter made Maryrod full of nerves, like a trapped beast in an iron cage, roaring and tearing it with his claws, but there was no hope of freedom to stretch, and they had to be anxiously guarded against the other party's surprise attack.
Finally, Armenia and Ubertnia came to Herod's hands with royal seals, and confirmed the oath that the other party would soon go south from Atacsetta.
At this time, Mentis cursed his Highness Assassin at the right time, saying that now is the time to realize the king's plan, and we can pretend to retreat, abandon Agira, and lead the Romans into the Maxinu Plain to severely damage it. Then the Armenians will cut off their way back, and our army can regain their full strength!
Very good, Hellod, who is also happy, is determined to implement this bold and wonderful tactic.
