"It is important to know that the city-state is a man, neither a city wall nor an empty ship." - Nissias inspired the Athenian army that was defeated in the expedition to Syragu in disgrace.

After he made it clear, Sabo ordered the entire army to stop and camp at the pass that was about to go out. Then he asked the low military horn to gather all the centurions and soldiers, and said in a sad and heart-wrenching tone, "I believe everyone knows the current situation. Our Governor has been deceived by the enemy's despicable tricks and died!"

Although there were many contained defeated soldiers just now (this is also the reason why Li Bida asked Sabo not to contain easily, because they would harm the morale of his team), the words spoken from the commander's mouth often have a decisive force - the chief brigade of the Fourth and Seventh Legions can truly calm down and cry for the dead governor, but Sabo, Polo and Bagules immediately asked everyone to stop crying, Sabo said: "I heard that S

After the messenger spread the news that their husbands died in battle, they would go home immediately. The next day they continued to go to the streets with a normal smile and do what they should do. Only those women whose husbands are still unsure of life and death are still stuck at home, worried and dare not express their grief happily, and face the life that comes later. We cannot even be inferior to women. Since the governor has died at the hands of the Parthians, we should only consider one issue, which is how to take revenge."

So the centurions present volunteered to ask for the Parthians to come tomorrow. After Sabo discussed with the two chief centurions, he also felt that the morale of the army was available. Moreover, the Parthians must be lost now and could take the opportunity to attack them, hurt them, and save the morale of the entire province.

At dawn, Sabo ordered the defeated soldiers to stay in the camp. Because they were all frightened birds and needed time to reply. Then he led two chief brigades to advance the fourth legion and suddenly dispersed the Parthian cavalry that occupied the hillside that Crassu had previously defended - they were now very few, because on the eve of the night Surena ordered the entire army to go on and give up the attack on the city of Ikni. In addition to leaving a small number of cavalry, most of the Arab servants took the scattered Roman defeated soldiers. They were headed by Akbarus, but did not dare to enter the deep mountains of Sinaka, but instead pulled the net along the plains, and the Arabs riding on camels showed off their power and did not take any emergencies seriously.

After occupying the hillside, Saab let the chief brigade of the Fourth Legion stay in place, making the illusion of a small number of people. Then he arranged two auxiliary archers, divided into left and right wings and ambushed on both sides. He and Polo led the chief brigade of the Seventh Legion as support.

The Arab chief Akbarus thought that the group of troops were defeated by Rome, and because they had no place in the canyon and had to run out, he screamed excitedly, gathered all the cavalry and camel soldiers, raised a large area of ​​sand and dust in a fierce manner, and rushed towards the hillside.

The camel soldiers of Akbarus were all dromedary camels in the desert. Their equipment was not much different from the ancient Assyrian era, but the saddle was improved. It was a large arched saddle, which happened to be buckled on the hump and was buckled with leather straps at both ends. The rider sat on the smooth and soft saddle. At this time, the camel's powerful bearing capacity advantage was highlighted - every camel warrior. He had a "arstorm". In the simple wooden tube hanging on both sides, there were a variety of weapons, single bows, arrows, javelins, etc., but the warriors who controlled this kind of load beast still needed to hold the stick in their hands to control the direction of the mount.

When these camel cavalry, who were slow but made strange screams, rushed towards the hillside in a strange way, many Roman soldiers who had never seen the world were panicked. They heard that horses were most afraid of such monsters. The Arabs who were sitting on them at high ends also made them feel oppressed.

As a result, the guide Faisal told Sabo through the translator, "Why are you afraid of these stupid guys? They are much stupider than horses. Horses are unwilling to face them, but they just hate the smell of feces on them. These things are worthless except for carrying goods, and they do not have the flexibility and speed of horses at all."

After hearing this, Sabo also strengthened his confidence in attack. He asked his subordinates to blew the trumpet. The chief brigade of the Fourth Legion alternately covered the retreat, seducing many camel cavalrymen and rushing up the mountainside. Suddenly, the archers on both wings fired arrows at the same time. The Arabs who were sitting too high on the hump became excellent targets. They were all killed by arrows. Then Sabo asked Polo to lead the two chief brigades to launch bravely.

In counterattack, holding swords and shields from the hillside, they rushed down unceasingly. The chaotic Arabs were poisoned and killed and trampled to death. They were extremely arrogant just now fleeing in panic. "It's that bastard Arab chief, he is a shameful villain, he made us so miserable!" A class' entourage recognized Akbarus, who was riding a camel in the crowd and shouted.

"The horses are always faster than camels!" Sabo, who remembered Faisal's words, immediately asked Bagules to ride on the horse, and took the rest of the cavalry to chase Akbarus.

In the blue sky, yellow sand blood, Akbarus kept panic and looked back at the pursuit of the Romans, shouting and cursing, the sticks whipping the meditating mounts in his hand became more and more fierce. His entourage was constantly being chased and killed by the Romans, but it was obvious that his identity was recognized because the Roman centurion kept scolding his subordinates fiercely and staring at him and chasing him to death.

Akbarus was desperate and began to throw his jewelry and property behind him, hoping to get the Romans to snatch them up and slow them down. Compared with camels, the latter was not as fast as the former, but his endurance and mileage in the desert were better than the former. As long as he could persist until he caught up with the cavalry of the Surena army, I would be the winner, and the entire Mesopotamian business road would be my monopoly.

But Bagules was obviously more interested in Akbarus's head. Dozens of light-clad Roman cavalry chased after him. With a "slash", Akbarus actually broke the stick in despair. The sharp section cut the neck of the mount. The camel screamed a few times, but no longer obeyed the orders. He carried the owner who was screaming and scolding and started to circle it in place.
