"I was born a man rather than a beast, I was born a man rather than a woman, I was born a Greek rather than a barbarian." - Militus philosopher Thales expressed gratitude for fate

Before the group of Aidui rushed to the Parthian oven cavalry, they were hit by countless clusters of arrows shot from all sides, and people kept falling and dying. Little Crassus was also shot in the ribs. He felt that the blood and muscles and bones there were twisted together, and accompanied by the bumpy horse's back, tearing his internal organs. But the brave young commander still shouted with all his strength, inspiring the people around him, gathered by him, and continued to assault forward.

Finally, the oven cavalry with great impact slammed into a ball with the Roman Idui cavalry. These Parthian elite riders were obviously prepared. They lowered their spears a little, and as a result, most of the mounts of the Idui were pierced through the spears and died. However, as soon as they fell, many people also rushed towards the oven cavalry and rolled down with them. Some people kept waving the sword in their hands on the ground, stabbing the enemy's soft horse belly to the stomach, or chopping the horse hooves and legs of the armored monsters until they were trampled into a ball of meat paste by the horse hooves.

Soon, the subsequent oven cavalry rushed over completely on the corpses of the enemy and our troops. Little Crasus also fell off his horse, but he was lifted up by the remaining loyal subordinates and pushed onto the horse again. At this time, the infantry behind rushed up with arrow feathers, under the scolding of Megabe and Shinsorinos, and temporarily protected Crasus's son with a shield.

A team of oven cavalry emerged horizontally, cutting off the passage between the little Crassus and the Roman large formation. Then thousands of light cavalry surrounded the group of prominent Roman troops and continued to shoot endlessly. Even the Romans formed a shield formation were killed and injured, and more could not bear this torture. They left the team and rushed towards the dust of the sky, the Parthian cavalry quickly. As a result, they were all shot down and killed one by one in the middle of the way.

"Oh my God, please keep the most basic Roman formation, pick up the shield again, and rush out with the sword, we will always fight side by side!" Little Crassus jumped off the horse again in pain, standing with all the centurions and ordinary soldiers, his black curly hair was covered with blood and dust. But he was still asking the Aidui to throw away his injured mount and rush out with the infantry.

But more and more wounded people. Little Crassus saw that many people were shot in their wrists and legs and could not raise their shields at all. At this time, Megabe shouted to him, saying that he was willing to take a brigade in the back of the temple. He asked him to rush across the plains with Shinsorinos to escape.

The surroundings were covered with hurricane dust, where could I find the way!? But there was no time to hesitate anymore. Little Crasus pulled the arm of his father's most trusted brave general, saying that the enemy's offensive had been eased for the time being. We did not need any sacrifice from the temple, and all the infantry and cavalry gathered together to rush out. I believe they would definitely join forces with the rescued troops! So everyone braved the heat and gravel that could not open their eyes and ran towards the other end. The Parthian cavalry soon discovered their intentions and chased and shot them tightly behind. The Romans endured heavy losses, but still supported each other and ran wildly. In the end, Megabe discovered that there was a small hill on the other side of the plain, so he asked Little Crasus to take all the troops up to defend, which could offset the advantage of the enemy's cavalry and wait for our rescue.

In fact, when he arrived here, he could break through the cavalry blockade of Parthia and get close to the main force of Crasus who was coming to rescue him urgently. However, at this moment, the little Crasus could not tell the distance and direction, because they were surrounded by enemy cavalry shooting, so he pity the little Crasus, who was compassionate with the wounded companion, followed Megabe's advice and all the men rushed to the nameless hill.

But when they got there, they were surrounded by the quickly arrived team of Parthian cavalry. Moreover, the hill was covered with gravel, and there were no ditches, woods, or even shrubs to cover up. Instead, they crowded all the people together, resulting in the Parthian cavalry not having to aim at it. If an arrow went down, there would be a lot of casualties.

In despair, the two Greek guides beside Little Crassus were both local native rich people. They urged him to abandon the wounded and bring the remnants who could still move. Don’t risk going to meet with your father, because the Parthians must have set up a large number of alert men and horses wherever the Parthians were. It would be better to go directly to the northwest. Not far away there is a small town called Ikni. "Although it is very small, there are still wells and some food and grass, which is enough to support about three days. The Parthians are all cavalry and have no siege equipment."

At this moment, Little Crassus looked at the two infantry commanders who were seriously injured, and his eyes flashed with a firm light, or he could no longer have hope for the severe arrow wounds in the ribs, so he hugged the two guides and said, "Maybe from the overall perspective, you are completely correct, but I have been in the military career of the Republic for almost ten years. I have never abandoned any of my friends or subordinates at any location, whether they are Romans, Spanish, or Iduigal, sorry, sorry! You two are not fighters and do not need to suffer the miserable treatment of death, so ride my horse and leave here!"

Finally, the two Greeks, wearing special flags, were indeed released by the Parthians. Looking back at the sunset with tears in their eyes, the hills filled with people and corpses were piled up, and they had to leave in the direction of Ikney. Little Crassus also waved to them with scars, and then a desperate pain surged all over his body. He couldn't help but sit down, unable to raise his hand and draw out his sword, so he ordered his shield slave, "Unlock the chain mail on my side."

"Yes, that's it. Draw my dagger and stab it in!"

The little Crasus's Shield-Holding Slave of Little Crasus knew the meaning of these words of the master and deeply knew everyone's situation. No one can escape now. His master was just unwilling to be insulted by the victor. "I hope someone will avenge you, Master." After saying that, he stabbed the short sword into the little Crasus' waist. The son of the consul twitched violently for a few times, as if he reached out to grab something, and then fell into the arms of the Shield-Holding Slave and died.
