Chapter 1: Throughouts (Part II)
Ankit pressed Li Bida under him again, and then directly pulled out the saber and aimed it at Li Bida's soft neck, which was one of the few places on his body without armor protection, and stabbed straight at him, Li Bida bounced violently, directly hit the head hammer, and then kicked the leg, knocking the opponent over the opposite side. Immediately launched a counterattack, pressing Anjit under him, Anjit was bleeding from his mouth and nose, but the saber in his hand was flexible like a snake and turned a bend, and flew under Li Bida's armpit, it seems that this is a good exercise of the Assyrian scimitar combat skills, Li Bida turned sideways, the scimitar pulled from his waist, blood splashed out, and his soul was suddenly about to burst out in pain, fortunately, the arc of the gilt armor was not bad, offsetting most of the lethality of the scimitar, otherwise his internal organs and intestines would definitely come out.
Just a moment when Li Bida turned sideways, Anjit was lying on his side below, and then flew up with an elbow strike, the other party's teeth flew out, and the mouth was crooked to the side with blood foam.
Anjit got up and regained the grip of the knife, and then saw Li Bida, who was covering his face, hunched over and crawling on the ground with his back to him in pain. Ankit gritted his teeth, changed the scimitar slightly, and strode up, grabbed the blue feather on Li Bida's helmet, and prepared to put the scimitar across his neck, and directly swiped it to end this gladiatorial fight.
But in a blink of an eye, Li Bida took off his helmet, turned around and smashed it, which happened to hit the front door of Ankit's head, causing him to stagger a few steps, but he still adjusted his posture very quickly, and slashed at the opponent with a knife again - he was very confident, Li Bida had no weapon around him when he fell from his horse, and the Spita sword was still hanging in the saddle of the mount.
However, he didn't know that the other party also had a lethal weapon. That is the Thracian fist. I saw Li Bida flash slightly. Then the hook flipped up, hitting the armpit of Ankit's right arm stretched out, the crispness of the bones sounded, Ankit's scimitar also fell into the dust, and he knelt on the ground straight, so painful that he couldn't straighten his torso, "Have you thought about what to say to your wife and children?" Li Bida grabbed Ankit's neck with his hand, and was about to twist it off with force. There was a neighing sound of horses behind him, and several of Ankit's retinues slashed at him with swords.
In this case, Li Bida could only turn over and jump out of the circle, a gust of wind and dust blew, resting between him and Ankite, and the general of the Romans saw that the owl was running in his direction, so he shouted to Ankite, "What a generous condition I have proposed for refusing to fight and negotiate peace with me!" ”
"Kill him!" A figure rushed out behind Ankit, and it turned out to be the former deserter Yumenes. He held his spear and rushed at Li Bida. Trying to stab his former superior to death, Li Bida tilted his body, quickly grasped the tip of the spear with both hands, and then turned and pulled, and pressed down in the same direction as the horse, and Eumenes' mount suddenly fell forward and knelt, and his master was pulled out six Roman feet away. At this moment, the owl came running, Li Bida turned over his horse, drew his sword, first a horse's hoof trampled off the back of Eumenes, who had not yet gotten up, and then gently waved Sparta, and Eumenes's head flew directly out of the cavity, like a stone projectile shot by a ballista.
After the last moment, Li Bida turned around and gave a long look at Ankit, who was being supported, and walked away.
"Leave me alone, chase after me." Anjit sweated in pain, but he continued to give orders to the people around him, but at this moment this order could not be fulfilled - Faobinas, who had set up the formation, rushed over with all the Roman soldiers and horses, Faobinas seemed to be indeed a seasoned soldier, and he also arranged all the elites on the two wings, biting the right flank of the Hashhitians, and then asked Kretas to take three hundred soldiers from Macedonia to form a diamond-shaped assault array, like a moving spear tip forest, Invincible tore through the left flank of the Hashhitis, which were clearly thin (elongated by the pursuit of Lypida), through which it penetrated.
On the river, two large armed ships, under the command of Sabo, also approached the riverbank, and constantly fired stone projectiles at the rear of the Hashhitis, dispersing them back to Yazda. Ankit failed to command the whole army, and finally hated the surprise attack of the enemy commander.
According to Lybida, "I have proved that fate is in my favor from slave to present, and I have the future of Sybil's prophecy." ”
Sitting in the fortress, Anjit watched quietly, on the colonnade grass in the corner of the school field, the dandelions flying together with the sun, although the weather was getting hotter and hotter, he felt a little cold, he did not negotiate peace with the enemies of Rome, he never regretted it, the most unacceptable thing for him was that this guy named Lybidaeus would adopt such a decisive blockade method, "Maybe my wife and children will not survive this winter, everyone will die, and they will all turn into a barren land in the highlands outside Cyrene." ”
About the next day, in the southern part of Yazda, the Romans had already built a siege camp, and in the north three infantry brigades had arrived to reinforce them, and the men and horses under the command of Li Bida had already begun to set up camp. On the river, huge Roman armed ships lined the river, and even the ballistas of the fortress could not help them.
Li Bida sent an envoy for the third time, and it was the young man named Sabokemus, "Our commander-in-chief did not shy away from it, he thought that once the Yazda fortress entered the stage of life and death, it would be a cruel and great sacrifice for the excellent soldiers on both sides, and he reiterated once again that all the conditions for peace were still unchanged. ”
This time, David. Ankit personally poured Saab a drink, "This is the first time I've drunk in three days, and the wine I drink once every three days is like gold." Saab didn't refuse, and drank dry.
Then Ankit sat down, drew a pen from the papyrus box, and with his left hand carefully filled the text on one scroll, and then another, and handed it to Sabo, "This is my clerical order to surrender north of Yazda until all the fortresses of Cyrenaica City, and I can only do this." Then he paused, looked at Sabo and smiled, "But the Yazda fortress will not surrender, so it is better to let General Lybidaeus take this place down first." ”
"This time, the Commander-in-Chief has actually understood Your Excellency's decision, so he has made such a request, that is, when attacking the city of Cyrenaica, he will use the greatest conditions to exchange Your Excellency's wife and children, and properly protect and settle them, and they will continue to live well, the Commander-in-Chief guarantees with his honor."
Ankit's eyes were slightly red, and then he said in a relaxed tone, "In this way, both of us have nothing to worry about, let the eagle in the sky over Yazda come to witness the bravery of the soldiers of the two armies!" (To be continued......)
