Chapter 17 Miserable Breakthrough (2)

Kassio took the torch and shouted with a clear command, "The Parthian cavalry around the dunes are still wandering. They are mocking us, saying that they are willing to give us a night to mourn the tragic death of their comrades. But there is no need to mourn, that is the most useless act. We must stick out in the middle of the night without a guide or supply - I also know that the Roman army is not good at night fighting. The soldiers must follow the centurion closely and look for directions at the mark of their own brigade, do not run around, and do not shout and scream, which will only harm ourselves. So, everyone - May the goddess of fate and justice protect us. If you have not committed crimes in your life, you will see Xuyang in the city of Kale. As for the wounded and sick, each of them will leave you ten Seths and beg for the blessing of your ancestors and Venus!"

Then, many centurions and the entourages who took Crasus to hold boxes and spread money to the wounded soldiers lying in the depression to cover their helpless begging and shouting.

Next, the 4,000 left-behind troops at the Barissus River Camp in the rear were also ruthlessly abandoned. A team of only about 20,000 to 30,000 people around Crasus began to run towards Kale without preparation.

At first, Surena's guarded cavalry discovered the intentions of these people, so they tied torches to the spears and then chased and shot the Romans who were panicked. Many soldiers discarded their swords and shields in extreme horror at night, and were easily bound or killed by the Parthians like an unarmed civilian. Crassus wrapped in a blanket and mixed in the crowd. His face turned pale, but soon the Parthian cavalry's pursuit of them gradually stopped. This was definitely not the favor of the goddess of luck - because Surena issued a new order: Crassus can be put into Kale, we will concentrate our main force first and seize his camp on the Barisus River, and then follow. We have the advantage of cavalry speed. Since they let them go first, they will also follow the Romans behind the Romans.

The Parthian cavalry, who heard the order, soon swept the abandoned Roman wounded people like a violent rain of blood. Many of the chopped heads rolled around under the horse's hooves. More than a thousand abandoned wounded people were killed in less than half a moment. Because Surena also despised them for trouble, the battle in this era was in no way humane, because neither side of the war could afford the humane expenses.

After about a stairs, the camps on the Barissus River were lit up, and even the running Crassus himself could look back. The four thousand soldiers and soldiers there were all executed by the Parthians who flocked in, just like a slaughter without any suspense, and all the wealth and supplies were lost!

"I am waiting for Li Bida's assistance and counterattack, and I will definitely tear the enemy to pieces." Crassus lay on his shoulder. He cursed like this. Kassio, who was riding a horse next to him, gritted his teeth. He was angry in his heart. Half of you, who fell into such a situation, was created by the cunning aliens, but Kassio still had fantasies about Li Bida's reinforcements. After all, it is no longer realistic to say that grudges are now, and sad whistles keep ringing around. It is a signal that the centurions call for the fallen soldiers. New injuries are constantly abandoned on the dark road. Some people even run directly to death from thirst and exhaustion, bleeding from their ears and noses, and their bodies are lying stiffly and in a terrifying posture.

"This is definitely the most tragic night in the history of the Roman Republic. Even Kanni, everyone was killed by the enemy's sword and spear, and would never be so cowardly." Kasio, who was lying on the horse, made up his plan to take revenge.

At this time, Li Bida's army, who was highly anticipated by Crasso, was four hundred Stadia away from the blockade of the city of Tessy. Just five days ago, he won another victory. The old man Vagissi's palm did not need to grow hair, because his gray-haired head had become the opponent's spoil.

Since Herod and Vagisius gave up the siege of the city of Seleulia, were led in chaos and returned to defend Tessief, Li Bida gave up further south, but followed Nineveh to Tessief, carrying forward the locust-like spirit, frantically looted villages, fields, and market towns, and resurrected the previous war crimes in Lusitania. Herod, who was unsteady, could only urge the army to passively accept Li Bida's induction.

But when Hellod and Vagiss were panting and rushed to the back of Tessimone with a large group of troops, they found that the Romans were waiting for them in a most ideal position. Before the Parthian army set off, Helenputina and El Capa reconnaissance were clearly seen and quickly handed over the information to Libida. After Sabo's careful survey and deduction, two and a half legions were arranged across the main roads of the Tigris River and the end of the Guernica Mountain, and there were dozens of ships supported by the Greeks on the river surface. While patrolling, they kept transporting supplies. Moreover, for the Parthians, who were extremely poor and weak, they had no temper with these fortresses on the water.

In such a stable situation, Hayrod could not let his cavalry cross the towering Guernica Mountain, so he could only camp in the open field outside the fifteen Furlongs of the Libida army and start a confrontation.

However, the confrontation was obviously not Li Bida's purpose. He climbed the hillside of the left wing that day and carefully observed the weaknesses of the Parthian camp. "Their camp was too large and the Vagisius camp in front was too large and the king's camp behind it was too large, because most of these people were cavalry, and they needed enough open space to keep mounts in captivity." Sabo said and gestured. Looking down, behind the long fence of the Parthians, many cavalry were leading the horses, allowing them to trot constantly among the trenches that had been plowed to exercise the stability of the horse's footsteps.

"Their fortifications are also very weak, and the trench excavated can easily allow a short soldier to jump over." Petternius added, "We can completely break through such a defense head-on."
