Chapter 20 Ikney (Part 2)

The light cavalry under Surena rushed directly to the swamp, where the Roman soldiers who were shot to death were half exposed, with their heads hanging down like sculptures, "The Governor Hunting the Romans!" This was the death order received by all the cavalry.

At this time, the forward Eugutaves was less than fifty furons away to reach Ikney City. However, after he discovered that the Governor's vanished, he ordered the chief brigade of the Legion to go to the castle first, and took the remaining 5,000 soldiers back to pick up the Governor.

But many centurions refused to obey his orders, and these people surrounded Eugutaves in the middle, loudly reminding that the entire army had collapsed and that the governor was still alive and dead in chaos. He was running back to save him, and perhaps he would destroy all the elites in the Syrian province, just like the Sixth Legion in Kasio, which would be extremely irresponsible to the entire Republic.

Eugutaves was angry and shouted, "For many of you, with me, have served under the great Pompeii. We started by clearing out the pirates, Crete, Cyprus, and then to Armenia, Bendu, and until Korkis, and Judia and Petra. Has anyone ever abandoned General Pompeii? Throw a consul of the Republic in the desert of the East and let him be captured and insulted by the enemy. This was the greatest irresponsible for the reputation of the Republic." Many centurions said so ashamed that they gathered all their elite weapons and shields together and rushed back with Eugutavus.

At this time, Crassu climbed the hillside of the Sinaka vein in despair. The Parthian light cavalry was less than three or five furons away from him. Fortunately, another flank deputy general Petro, led hundreds of remaining subordinates, approached the governor from the pass, and then Surena's subordinates shot a sharp sound into the sky. This was the signal they found the Roman governor. Then the light cavalry and the oven cavalry rolled in and surrounded Crassu on the hillside. But fortunately there was an antenna here that could be relied on. The Parthians only dared to shoot arrows from a distance for the time being. The soldiers of the three legions defended the governor and stacked them into a shield formation. They took advantage of the height to throw light javelins down the mountain. They actually repelled several charges from the other side.

Soon, all the formations of Surena himself arrived. The general once again drove his horse to the front, waved the double-headed flags of the horned viper and the viper, and shouted loudly to all the elite subordinates, "I have read Greek history books. Those literati have recorded the history of the Romans' war. They suffered heavy defeats in Samonai, and the consuls and the army were all captured. At that time, the brave men of Samonai asked the tribe elders to tell the elders of the tribe, how to deal with the Romans? The elders gave two answers, one was to kill them all, and the other was to treat them well. Then they all were put back. But the brave men took a compromise method, let the Roman consuls and all their subordinates drill into the yoke gate, and released them after humiliation. What a stupid way, so there is no more kingdom of Samonai! To compare, isn't the humiliation we had given this Roman army before?"

All the cavalry raised their spears and bows and shouted in unison. Surena was right: they killed more than 10,000 Romans, destroyed their camps on the Barissus River, chased their governor like a rabbit for three days and nights, cut off the heads of many civil guards and centurions, and killed Crassus's son. If the tiger was released to the mountain at this moment and even a Roman was let go, he would come back to find your bad luck with the revenge army of the Roman Republic, and that city-state would be a Hydra. The people of the whole world knew that either kill this strange snake, or be conquered by it and become a slave.

Surena raised his fists, "So, don't let their governor go, don't let any enemy soldiers go. We have not provoked this group of people before. They set foot in our country, burned, killed, and robbed, just to satisfy our greed like gluttons. Let us answer them with arrow clusters and spears, let their chests drink dirty blood, let their throats drink the tip of the bronze spear, let their widows at home cry, let their children no longer have the courage to enter this land full of corpses and terror, the land belonging to us Parthians! Without any mercy!"

"Without any mercy!" The cavalry under Surena then let out the wolf-like fighting screams in unison. Under the saddle, the Romans' heads and right hands were hung, trampling the entire land to the high ground, and rushed towards the hillside where Crassus was defending. At this time, Crassus, wrapped in a cloak, also loudly aroused the soldiers, "All enemies are like gamblers, this is completely their bet, but we will still be the winners of this game, the children will be gentle.

It took me only ten years to accumulate 7,000 Tarent's assets, just to arrive in Ikney immediately or at the same time, and then take out most of them and reward today's loyal and brave men. Don't be afraid, I'm already sixty-year-old, are you already sixty-year-old? After Ikney escapes danger, I will give me another three years, and it will be me who destroys the city of Tessie, Marcus Lisini Crassus!"

But Crasso quickly moved around him. He quickly pressed his sword against the man's back. The other party was Petro, the deputy general who was trying to escape. "Don't mess with an old guy who has no longing for life, because when my anger comes, the whole world will be buried with me." Crasso said coldly.

Petro could only grit his teeth, turn around, continue to stand at the forefront, and command the team to resist with Crasso. At this moment, Crasso kept sending instructions clearly. He asked the soldiers to keep calm and not forget the most basic commands and combat skills in their previous practices, and lower their bodies to avoid the enemy's arrows, because if they shoot out immediately, most of the arrows are raised against our heads. There is no need to be afraid of this bluff. "Wait until the enemy reaches ninety Roman rulers before throwing out the light javelin! Pilum, do not throw it out in panic, hold it well, and press it upwards, and the enemy's cavalry will not dare to approach you!"

Under the personal actions of the Governor, hundreds of Roman soldiers defeated Surena's elite cavalry charge twice in a row. The other party could not detour and could only rush around in front of the prey in vain, which made Crassus laugh contemptly.
