"Appis!"

While the heavy infantry regiment was slaughtering the defeated Parthian coalition army with high morale, Freira rushed to the front of the battle with one man and one horse......

He is such a person, facing the fleeing crowd, going upstream, charging alone. The slogan of the charge was also shouted in his mouth. His heroic actions even made the Roman GIs in the legion awe-inspiring.

Rome was a warrior nation, and they respected warriors, especially those like this who bravely charged in the face of a defeated army.

In the midst of the tragic atmosphere, several Roman heavy javelins pierced the sky, piercing the horses under Freira, and one shot through his shoulder. Almost wiped out one of his arms.

The horse fell down with a scream, the blood gushing out from the horse's belly, and Freira flew out due to inertia, falling heavily in front of the horse, and under the severe pain, he struggled to get up, and the warm blood was gushing out of his right shoulder. However, with the belief in killing the enemy in his heart, Fureira persevered, endured severe pain, and limped forward to "charge". He pulled out his javelin, which was stuck in the ground, and tried to throw it back, but the javelin flew a short distance and landed in front of the Roman GIs. Even the shield doesn't need to be raised. Because it doesn't hurt them at all.

Fureira limped like this, dripping blood, dragging a long blood belt behind him.

Then, when they came to the front, the Roman soldiers scattered, unwilling to assassinate him.

Indeed, the spirit of this foreign general made these Roman soldiers awe-inspiring. In this way, with a rage in her heart, Fureira drew her sword and slashed at the Roman soldiers around her, but many of them only used their shields to block him slightly, surrounding him in the middle. Some distance from Appis, Friera saw the Roman general on a high horse. He had a calm face, mocking his opponent as he fell like a victor. However, Apis did not laugh at this, Apis just knew that the world was so cruel, the weak prey on the strong, the survival of the fittest, and no matter how brave the martial artist was, he could not match the calculations and traps of the conspirators. In the past, I was a pawn in other people's calculations, but now, others are the prey of my own calculations, and that's it.

Unable to find anyone to assassinate, Friella, whose face was covered in blood, endured severe pain, and with all her might, pounced on a Roman legionary infantryman, crushing the infantry under him, and then, with a cruel sword, stabbed the soldier in the face. At this moment, the angry Roman infantry surrounded him, and stabbed the valiant man into the flesh with one sword, disemboweling him, and bleeding and intestines all over the ground. Until Fureira died of exhaustion and fell to the ground motionless.

"Drag him down and have a decent funeral."

Then Appis spoke.

…………

Herubidi's victory at the Battle of the River Crossing came as a surprise to Sulena, the commander-in-chief of the Parthian legions, and now he had to face both the defenders of Antioch and the pursuers of Appis. Although some villages and towns were plundered along the way, the food and supplies were undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the huge Parthian army.

They either continued their attack on Antioch as originally planned, or they turned back and met Appis' pursuers.

After much thought, Sulena chose to turn back and face Appis. Because Anthony's uncertainty is too great, no one knows his attitude, his position in this war. In the event that the great general of the Roman Eastern Kingdom changed his mind and joined forces with Apis to flank the Parthian army back and forth, then Sulena's tens of thousands of Parthian troops would be besieged here, or even buried here.

It is quite possible, after all, Antony was also a Roman. Moreover, the Parthians were also aimed at Antony at the beginning......

So, weighing the pros and cons, Sulena decided to attack with all his army and turned back to prepare for a bitter battle with Appis.

Three days later, the two large armies met, however, out of prudence, neither side chose a decisive battle that day, but camped separately, observing the terrain and the enemy's situation.

At this time, a surprising news came - Antony did not send troops to the Antioch region, but instead took his elite army to bypass the frontal battlefield of Parthia and attack Appis's towns in Syria.

When the news came, Appis was surprised and delighted, surprised that Anthony bypassed his large army and attacked his rear, once Syria was occupied, Egypt would be in danger, and no one knew whether the queen would defect again.

Happily, Anthony, the pig, has been fooled again. The Romans fought with the Parthian army on the front line, and Mark Antony, as the commander of the Roman legions, not only did not help, but attacked Appis's lair. This kind of behavior of not helping the people, but still taking advantage of the fire to rob, is despised by the Romans.

Ignoring the overall situation for the sake of immediate interests is exactly the mistake that Anthony often makes, and Apis also grasped the characteristics of his old rival. Now, as long as this matter is publicized, the whole of Italy will undoubtedly be full of people and talk about it again.

However, the current situation cannot be completely ignored, after all, Syria is close to Egypt, once Syria is lost, Anthony is bound to go straight to Egypt, although he does not say it on the surface, but Appis knows that Syria is not Antony's target at all, this emotional man is afraid that he will not forget his old lover, and he will go back to teach her a lesson. Cleopatra, yes, Antony's target is fixed on the woman who betrayed him.

"Brother, now is not the time to be rash, Syria needs someone to defend, Damascus needs a general to defend. You are the only one who can resist Antony, and the Parthians leave it to me, that Sulena, and I promise to give you his head, it is only a matter of time. Moreover, sooner or later you will have the opportunity to fight Parthia again, I know that you will not be reconciled, and these soldiers will only obey you, but I hope that you will consider the big picture and consider our current situation. Anthony has failed because of his emotional use, and I don't want us to make the same mistakes. ”

In a predicament, Apis asked little Crassus for help, hoping that he would let go of his current hatred and return to Syria first, dragging Antony's large army. When the fighting in Parthia on the front line was over, he went back to join him. But it was a bit difficult to convince this somewhat brainless companion. Everyone knows the purpose of the young Crassus's expedition to the East, to defeat the Parthian army, restore the glory of the family, and avenge his father. Appis took advantage of this at first. But the change of circumstances did not all go according to plan, and the current situation is that if Crassus Jr. remained at the front, then the latter would be lost. If he retreats to the rear, then with the strength of Crassus Jr., he will definitely not be Sulena's opponent. The legion had to fight against the Parthians on the one hand, and on the other hand, it had to deal with the brave man Antony, and neither side could lose, at least not a big one, so it was the best choice to let little Crassus return to Syria to defend against Antony's attack. There are some things that are not yet ready for reckoning......

"Damn, the man who killed my father is right in front of ......"

Little Crassus was obviously unwilling to give up, but before the decisive battle, he had to retreat, which was unwilling.

"Brother, in the old East there is a proverb that says, 'Thirty years is not too late for a great husband to take revenge.'" Do you remember Scipio the Great? During the Punic Wars, Scipio the Elder died in Spain, and this hatred of Scipio the Great was not unavenged, but the time was not yet ripe, so he waited and kept accumulating his strength, until finally in Africa, Zama fought a battle, defeated the enemy, and raised his eyebrows. Brother, we are like this now, the current situation, Rome is not yet unified, even if Sulena's army is defeated in this battle, we will not be able to completely conquer Parthia, they will send more troops. And once Antony takes Syria and advances into Egypt, all our previous efforts will be in vain, so it is much more important to hold Syria and hold the choke point to Egypt from the land than to conquer Parthia, at least in this case. ”

Seeing little Crassus' look of resentment and reluctance, Appis did his best to persuade ......
