"A certain degree of punishment and deterrence is necessary for soldiers, but hope and reward on the battlefield can motivate them more effectively." - A Roman general

—————————————————————————

But when he was private, Li Bida gave Sabo a secret order, and Sabo saw it clearly, "If you encounter a rough road or a difficult road, or if you have a powerful enemy, set up a battle, but don't be greedy for combat, and don't easily accommodate unidentified soldiers."

The meaning of this is actually very clear. After Sabo glanced at the eyes, he burned the order privately. Then he organized two chief brigades to face the cool mountain wind when the night was low, facing the cool mountain wind.

At this moment, Crassus, who was besieged on the hillside, and his subordinates were thirsty and tired. Many people were curled up behind the shield and swallowed their saliva, but they did not dare to break out to Ikni because there were Pathian cavalry everywhere, and they would be easily divided and annihilated on the way. Now there were only two hopes, one was Angandinus's men, or went to the chief brigade of the first legion in Ikni, and any of them came to help, and cooperated with each other and outwardly. There was even more slim, that was Li Bida's reinforcements. Although both sides had fought fiercely during the day, they were actually not sure about it, and the other was on the other side of the mountain.

However, now Li Bida has made up his mind. His plan is to establish a battalion first, then fight steadily, and after achieving certain results, he will take everyone back to Chinodosha, or raid to Kale City and rescue the Five Legions isolated there. As for Governor Crassus, I'm sorry. He has not yet planned to rescue him, and Selsius's slackness has also been seen. As long as he does not move, there will be no danger.

What he lacks the most now is to defeat the enemy Surena. According to common sense, Surena defeated the main force of Crassus, and his side troops defeated Surena in the future, which is much better than he directly rescued the Syrian governor.

Then, Crassu's fate was equal to the end of the dust, but the power of thousands of Roman soldiers was still there, and Surena was worried again. If he attacked directly, his casualties would definitely not be small, so the trick came to his heart again. He asked the concubines to put down his hair again, wiped away the terrifying oil paint, put on a slim embroidered robe. Riding a docile pony, he regained the image of a handsome young man. Surrounded by a group of Jiangzhao, he ordered the encirclement net to the hillside, and then stood outside the range of the Roman javelin and shouted to Crassu in Greek:

"All Latin people, now you can see what the other general looks like." Sure enough, many Roman soldiers on the position were brave enough to stand behind the shield and comment on Surena, who was wearing eye-catching clothes at the foot of the mountain.

Then the handsome and cunning noble man slowly raised the bow in his hand, and then continued to gesture, "Now, please ask you and the Governor to look at the bow in my hand. Perhaps many people are still scared of its power and killing, but don't be afraid now. Because the bow does not have a string, it cannot shoot arrows. All my subordinates have lowered the strings!" After saying this, within the range of the Romans' eyes, the Parthian cavalry took off the bow string according to the general's request, and then inserted the bow into a waterproof leather bag beside the saddle.

"Why do you need this? This is to express our sincerity in praying for peace, put down our weapons, and put away our thoughts of fighting with each other, representing Assassin's sincerity in asking for peace. Now we still need a peace agreement, but we lack the need for your governor to come out to negotiate and sign." Surena's words made the Roman officers and soldiers on the hillside positions more and more noisy.

"Don't believe in the enemy's tricks anymore. He just wants to kill you all here. We cannot betray the consul." Eugutaves was anxious. He shouted loudly for the centurion and soldiers, but no one was willing to listen to his advice anymore. Many people even shouted publicly, "If the Parthians are willing to negotiate, then there is no need for us to make unnecessary sacrifices." Then they made loud noises and beat the shield with swords. Many Pompei's veterans were used to the successive victory in their previous service careers, unable to withstand the wind, and could not give up the houses, families and property in the resettlement area, so they shouted the most fiercely. Many brave soldiers walked to Crasso openly, pointing fingers, and some even spit on the ground.

Crassus stood there sneered, and suddenly shouted to Petro behind the soldiers, "Poor guy, don't think that you can be safe if you push me out. If you help me rush out, just wait for the night to come, we can set up a cover team, get rid of the enemy's pursuit, and enter the canyon pass. And now when the dawn of success is coming, you soldiers of the Republic will actually abandon honor, weapons and responsibilities, are unwilling to fight, nor are you willing to obey the military orders of the governor. Even if two or three people can return to Rome, do you believe there will be a place there?"

But the soldiers who cherish their lives and are unwilling to fight again have completely disobeyed Crasso's orders. They were bewitched by Surena and finally shouted such slogans in unison, "Crasso, you coward, you threaten us to fight with the fully armed enemy, but you don't even dare to face unarmed talks or envoys."

This sentence completely humiliated Crasso. He stood up angrily, then took off his cloak and entrusted all the valuable items to his entourages around him. "I will give you the items, but don't abandon the cloak at will. Even if it is not valuable, give it to Libidaus as much as possible. 'Petro and Kasio betrayed me'. This sentence was conveyed to him intact. In addition, he hoped that he could seize the heads of Surena and Herod in many years and come to the temple to pay tribute to me. I have no son anymore, so I can only rely on him, because one of these two is a general and the other is a king, but they have no integrity and shame. I have carved a poisonous oath on the stone slab of the goddess of vengeance, and turn into evil spirits to revenge them!"

Then Crasus slowly walked to the middle waist of the hillside, then turned and raised his hands, and said loudly to everyone, "Eugutaves, Petro, although I have seen through the enemy's tricks, I still have to go to the known death trap. This is all thanks to your loyal and brave subordinates! If my prophecy is unfortunately true, then please go back and tell all the elders and people of Rome that Crasus did not die under the enemy's sword, but under the betrayal and undisciplinedness of his subordinates."
