"In this land, people trample on the cheeks of young girls and the breasts of young people, and we grow old in such a land." - Islamic poetry describes the massacre of the city of Maru by the Mongol cavalry

————————————————————————

Ortachilius didn't mean to reject the conclusion of the high priest, he just stood tall, anyway, he started with guò dialectics before, and now he has been to the Cyris Empire, and in the next life, just writing books and accepting gifts from Li Bida will be completely worry-free, not to mention that he is also a four-division monarch of Numidia, and he is on a par with Hitius, the general under Li Pida's account, so he is not very enthusiastic about this kind of trivial mission that has to be delegated at the moment when the war is about to end, Plus you have to face Brutus's lonely paranoia.

But over there, beads of sweat oozed from Eurabela's bald head, and he walked around a little frantically, and he kept declaring, "Please the High Priest must entrust me with this mission, by all means!" ”

"But Eurabela, you are a member of the Clan of Gaunerius, and the son-in-law of the philosopher Cicero, and I will not let you take such a risk." Li Bida on the circle chair put his hand on his cheek and said.

At this time, the tip of Yurabela's nose was hot and red, and he felt that he should gain the trust of the high priest, and if he did not complete such a mission, he would absolutely lose his previous epiphany at the peak of Amasinus, and he stepped on the floor barefoot, like a shaman in a state of madness, and kissed the horn of the high priest's robe, asking for this holy and glorious mission. "Brutus and I were comrades-in-arms. In Asia Minor and Greece, they complement each other. Now my presence will surely put him in a state of hesitation and helplessness, so I will certainly accomplish this mission—even if I provoke Brutus and be killed by him, if it can boost the morale of the whole army, then I will be in vain. ”

Li Bida felt that this guy had some mental problems since he returned from Mount Amasinus. How do you feel that the peak of that little Asia is under a spell, and the great father-in-law Scipio also escaped from that place, and his head is sick.

But fortunately, this plan was already in his consideration, so he helped Yurabella up, and asked the young man under the age of thirty very gently as an elder what kind of return he needed.

"Witness, I just need to witness!" "I want to see with my own eyes the Epida of the House of Aemilius, ascending to the supreme throne of this kingdom." This is in harmony with the revelation I have received on the mountain, as for the reward and reward. What is that? Attorney General, Governor General, or Consul? No, these things are nothing in my eyes now, all I need is to witness great moments, forever, forever, and if I really get my wish, and return to Rome alive, I will be the spokesman of the gods who bless the family of Gaurelius and Aemilius. With that, Eurabella fell to her knees as if she had malaria, trembling constantly, as if the gods were talking to the world about his body.

In this way, Li Bida waved to a thin attendant beside him, who was covered with a short linen robe and covered with a coarse cloth scarf, and walked to Eulabella's side, and then Li Bida took off his ring, seal, and Amborodes badge, and handed them to Eulabella, "This is my token, Brutus is not a rough and murderous monster, as long as you don't discuss beliefs, ideas, republicanism, autocracy, and other topics with him, he will not treat you like this." ”

After the instructions were finished, Sabo knocked on the pillar of the camp tent with a very impatient expression on his face, and the high priest looked at him and understood, so he pointed his finger at Sabo, "I almost forgot it, even if the city of Athens finally fell into my hands, but Julipis, as a symbol of military might, cannot be pardoned!" Saab Kemus, you go and command, give the signal to attack. ”

So the commander of the front line, after receiving this order, quickly turned back, and after a while, all the men stepped out of the camp, but in front of the two siege positions, the soldiers pushed to the mast and the curtain, and put the dense cavalry cannons and wild donkey stone throwers in front, and launched them in unison, and the spectacle fort in front of the city of Yuripis was almost instantly submerged in the ash wave of collapse and shattering, and many soldiers and military slaves stationed on the other side were crushed to death and suffocated before they could escape.

About a quarter of a day later, all the projectiles were temporarily halted at the request of the herald, as requested by Sabo, a man of particular scientific command of warfare, which was quite rare at the time, and when the fortifications on the outskirts of Yulipis were destroyed, Sabo raised his hand to stop firing.

Slowly, in the setting sun, the smoke of gunpowder quietly dissipated, but seeing that the city was full of rubble and rubble, and the white corpses of the dead were exposed, behind the city wall, all the defenders began to tremble, because Cibalas had been killed in battle, they had lost their backbone, neither resistance nor surrender, but judging from the current situation - the high priest would not allow them to surrender.

"Instead, reload the pellets and aim them at the enemy's towers and walls." Then Sabo ordered that the four cavalry guns at the front began to shoot a wave of lead shots, and after careful correction, all the men in the siege position adjusted their angles and strength, and then with the wave of the flag, forty or fifty-one lead shots, as well as the wooden poles on the noblewoman's cannons, flew towards the wall of Julipis, and after about half a day, the walls were crumbling and collapsing in their respective sections of fire, and then Sabo continued to ask for fire—and soon, at last, there was a place where the wall had completely fallen.

Fearing that his exploits would be taken away from him, Chretas jumped to his feet, and with the soldiers of the Sixteenth Legion, marched in dense formation towards the collapsed wall; Not to be outdone, Tagus also acted with the Twelfth Legion at the same time, and bravely advanced on the other front.

In the city of Juripis, many of the soldiers of the recruit regiment lost their fighting spirit, and they came out of the gap one after another, and after being killed by the main attack regiment of Li Bida with javelins and fighting swords, the rest still stood on the rubble and saluted and did not dare to move until they were taken away as prisoners.

Then, the soldiers of the two legions were overwhelmed and captured the top acropolis directly before sunset, and the garrison there surrendered without any resistance.

"Thanks to Leo on that front, and Sabo on this front, the miracle of capturing the city of Yuripis in one day was possible." Afterwards, in the evening, in the tent, the high priest encouraged the many generals, and said that he would soon give full rewards for his meritorious deeds in the camp, and wait for a break from the market day to launch a final assault on the city of Athens.
