"Tretus...... ...... Tretus"

On the battlefield of Andaha, the Roman legions and the Parthian army were fighting bloodily, and in the city of Rome, thousands of miles away, Octavia was kneeling under the statue of Jupiter, praying to the gods that Teretus would survive on the battlefield and return safely. Appis promised her to keep Teretus safe.

……

"Appis!"

A throwing axe struck, Crane shouted, Apis subconsciously turned his head, but it was too late, the Parthian axe hit Apis's shoulder, and suddenly, a sharp pain came from the wound. Blood dripped down, and the pain was so severe that Apis almost fell to his knees, but with the Eagle Banner in one hand, Apis stood still. If you can't fall yourself, if you fall, the morale of the army will inevitably be weakened. It is a belief that supports Apis to stand still.

Seeing the situation, the guards hurriedly took the Eagle Banner, and two Praetorian Guard soldiers supported Appis and withdrew from the front line.

The axe was not very sharp, but the power was so great that it pierced through the shoulder armor of the ring, and Apis estimated that by this time, his shoulder was already peeled open. It was as if you could feel the blood in your body being lost little by little.

Not far away, the Eagle Banner still stood in place, and the morale of the legion was still high. Because, Maximus's cavalry came.

"For Rome!"

On the battlefield, Maximus swung his sword and charged, severing the arm of a Parthian spearman in front of him, and then his horse slammed into another Parthian light infantry in his way.

The Germanic cavalry and Gallic cavalry behind him were all bloodthirsty, and some of the cavalry helmets had been shaken off, and they were fighting and charging with their capes. Blood was sprinkled on the face, as if it were a barbarian from hell. Like a black sword, the Germanic cavalry instantly stabbed into the heart of the Parthian army.

One of the Germanic cavalrymen even dragged a Parthian infantry to the ground, dragging blood to the ground.

More Germanic cavalry, led by Maximus, fought from the flanks.

Although the Parthian army was numerous, most of the soldiers in the army were non-professional soldiers, from all walks of life, and were filled with peasants, blacksmiths, small traders, and so on. These unprofessional armies and militiamen from various small kingdoms and tribes had never seen such a terrifying barbarian cavalry at all, and they were all frightened.

Coupled with a whole morning of fighting, their physical strength had long since been exhausted. Now, with the ferocious counterattack of the Germanic cavalry, many were reduced to pads of meat under the hooves of horses.

Panic spread. Maximus rode his horse and climbed up a small plateau overlooking the entire battlefield, and although the cavalry battle, the Roman legions won again, but the army of Orodes was too large. This army, which claims to be 100,000 people, is densely packed all over the grassland, and there is no way to know where Orodes himself is. Moreover, the Germanic cavalry was scarce, only about a thousand people, and it was somewhat powerless in the face of the massive Parthian army.

But, unexpectedly, the chaotic Parthian army was defeated on its own without being hit by the cavalry of the legion.

Due to the different languages, the commander could not know the situation on the front line, and the defeat of one tribe caused the other surrounding tribes to panic as well. In the beginning, the huge Parthian coalition was only a small part of the rout, which then evolved into a mass rout.

More and more people joined this great escape, and many people in the back row, not knowing why they were fleeing, just fled with the soldiers in the front row. Panic.

At this time, in front of the Roman legions, the corpses were almost half a man high, and blood flowed down the ditch, and the canal that was originally used to flood the grassland became a complete blood canal......

"Damn it! What are they fleeing from? The cavalry of the Romans was only a few hundred people!! Only a few hundred people!! You can't kill them at all! ”

Orodus was anxious to see the defeated Parthian army on the hill, but he couldn't think of a better way to turn the tide. Because there was no unified commander, the order was issued, and no one carried it out. Outlaws don't listen to orders at all.

"I have never seen such a spectacular rout, and if they turn around and point the finger at us, it will be Rome who will fail."

Looking down at the Parthian army fleeing on the plain, Maximus couldn't help but exclaim with amazement and emotion. He knew that the legionnaires on the front line were also close to the limit of their physical strength, and as long as they fought a few more Romes, the legion would inevitably collapse. But Appis was so lucky every time. He waited for the Parthian will to collapse early......

"Chase them, don't give them time to regroup and turn back against us!"

Despite his serious injuries, Apis still did not forget to issue orders. The massive Parthian soldiers fled, not really defeated. They are now just panicking, and they are fleeing because of panic. As long as they have time to breathe, regain their footing under the leadership of their respective patriarchs and lords, and fight back, the legion will inevitably be defeated. Apis knew that now, he could not let up. It can be said that the pursuit is the most critical link in the whole battle.

The exhausted legionnaires pursued on the bloody mud, and the Parthian militia, who had no time to flee, were caught up by the pursuers, and the Roman GIs pierced them from behind. The tip of the sword pierced through the chest and belly, and the bloody Parthian soldiers fell one by one. The Parthian militia that was pushed to the increase in patches. Even, having no time to capture the Parthian militia that surrendered, the Roman soldiers killed all the Parthian infantry who caught up. Screams echoed throughout the prairie.

It was almost a massacre.

"Escape from what! Back! Looking back and fighting, don't you see that they are also exhausted? ”

Appis's 10th and 13th legions pursued the Parthian army like a weary lion, and Teretus strode forward and shouted at the fleeing Parthian soldiers, but no one responded to his orders. In a state of almost losing their minds, the soldiers could not hear the commander's orders at all, they only heard the approaching pursuers and the slaughter coming from behind them. I only want to escape this battlefield as soon as possible to gain the power to live.

"Tretus! Teretus! ”

The post-massacre plains are littered with corpses, and crows and vultures hover in the sky, waiting for the people to leave, and enjoy the feast of corpses. After bandaging his wounds, Appis walked on the bloody mud floor, looking for Tretus. However, on the vast battlefield, corpses are piled up and countless, and trying to find a specific person is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"What a TMD bastard!"

Apis roared.
