"Hunting, bathing, playing, laughing - this is life." - Inscription on the square of the Roman city

"Selheath, who is the defender, comes to see me on horseback." Surena said so after thinking about the scene.

Under the scorching sun, Selheth's face was colder than the ice. He rode a horse in humiliation and came to temporarily stop the carriage where the wheels were temporarily waiting for Surena's plan to arrange it.

Unexpectedly, Surena didn't even come out, but called a slave to send a message: "The general was determined to divide his troops into two parts. He took his own troops and horses to attack Kale City first; and General, you will take your own troops and horses to stop the Romans' partial divisions here."

"Bastard." Selheth cursed in his heart. His hand holding the hilt of the sword was also creaking. The other party's arrangement was obviously to eat meat and leave him to drink sand and sacrifice. However, Selheth thought about it and then hung a hypocritical smile again, expressing his willingness to obey General Surena's wise arrangement. He would do his best to stop the Roman army from rescuing the city of Cale.

Then, Selheth also took the initiative to make a suggestion, "In order to prevent the crossbows and attacks in Kale City, the baggage of the entire army, pack horses and camels can also be kept behind my defense."

Surena agreed without thinking much about this proposal.

After about a day of travel, at the north-north node between him and Selheith's tribe, he had settled his concubines, camp and baggage, Surena took his main force and began to come to the city of Kale.

After Crassus' destruction, the Fifth Legion, which he despised the most, lived a good life in Kale City. "If people don't save me, I will save myself" suddenly became their creed. Copponnius temporarily served as the commander of these people. They dug trenches, attracted streams outside the city, and created multiple deep water wells in the city, and many soldiers ploughed out their luggage. Of course, some of them threw down by their companions and exchanged a lot of sheep, dates and other food with the livestock dealers in the city. The entire camp under Kale City was full of parasols and tents. After sufficient material reserves, the Fifth Legion began to dig trenches outside the city frantically, and all the limited wood was used to make crossbows. They used sand and soil to raft the earth walls behind the ditch. They were determined to guard this castle like a lonely boat.

When the scout saw Surena back, Copponnius expelled all the vendors out of the city, then gathered all the citizens, collected half of the food they had, and let them take control of themselves, and hid in the basement of the city. Wait until the war passed before going out.

The first person sent by Surena was the messenger who persuaded surrender. After entering the city, the man was immediately surrounded by angry Roman soldiers. Copponnius stood in the middle of the market and spread his hands to the messenger and said it was regretful to you because of your repeated treason. In addition, he could not reverse the rage of nearly 5,000 soldiers, so you could only sacrifice as a sacrifice.

So the Romans killed the messenger, poured all his blood into the sewage ditch at the edge of the market, and cut off his head and limbs, and inserted it on the tip of the spear. Just as the Parthians treated the Crassus and his son, the tree was on the gate, and then burned their internal organs and sacrificed them to the goddess of vengeance, begging her wings to cover the shadow of death on the heads of all Parthians.

Seeing the tragic death of his messenger, Surena sighed and decided to attack Kale City.

But what he wished was that the resistance of Cale was unprecedentedly fierce. Under the command of Copponnius, the desert fortifications of the Fifth Legion were no worse than those they had built in the rest of the area. The soldiers inserted shields and heavy javelins on the earthen walls to resist the bows and arrows of the Parthians, and then collected the archers and shot them back. There were many Eye Forts on the periphery, Surena's cavalry dismounted, and tried their best to remove a few. And after the removal that night, the Romans would build another one, in a close place.

In this way, Surena gradually lost his patience. He still realized that once the Romans rely on fortifications and cities, Parthia could not do anything to them, and the Fifth Legion had no intention of coming out to fight in the field.

At this time, when you look back, you can still see the majestic and majestic Li Bida army guards in the Sinaka Mountain. They are driving a large group of camels with baggage and tents on their backs, and walking towards the deeper and darker desert. The neat footprints left by the column in front are stumbled by the camel's toes. On the side, the two heavy infantry squads who shouted the identification command were also firmly moving towards the same direction. They were the two chief brigades led by Saab to meet.

"Catch over and launch a counterattack, rescue Kale City, and give Surena a look." This is the common wish of Libida's subordinates. They are different from the newly defeated army, and most of the Serapis legions are from desert natives and run faster. However, Vibichinas and Mathia cavalry lined up in a column, leisurely and leisurely, especially the former was from Gallic. This weather made their skin and nostrils feel painful, and they had to constantly get water from the camels to drink.

When the attack in Kale City lasted until the fourth day, Surena, who was a little tired, suddenly received the message from the scouts behind. The Romans' partial army appeared in the seven or eight Romanian areas northeast of Kale City, and turned around and slashed towards the area between the baggage camp and the besieged camp!

"What the hell is Selsius doing!" Surena's heart suddenly sank. The bad premonition before came again. Damn it was Selsius who was always making trouble. He clearly said that he had successfully defeated the Romans' partial division and caused huge casualties to him, but 20,000 enemies quickly followed him without any "huge casualties". Then he asked him to set up a defense line to delay the enemy's advancement, but the Romans appeared under the city of Kale within a few days!

Just when Surena was in a turmoil, two more commanders, covered in smoke and fire, ran to his besieged camp. There was about two days apart. The former sent him a letter from Selcith, which said that he was entangled by Roman cavalry because the other party had a large number of camels transported to feed, and they were evenly matched and fought hard. The latter was actually sent by Tegrenis, the king of Armenia, and said that he led 10,000 light and heavy cavalry. He found that the Roman division had abandoned Chinodosha, so he occupied the area. After obtaining the information, our army quickly advanced to Kale. Can we work with the general to annihilate the last remaining troops of the Romans?
