Chapter 9: The Fight on the Mountain Road (Part II)

The captain of the Praetorian Guard had no choice but to retreat, and then he stood in front of the camp gate, and saw the sound of killing at the mountain pass above his head, and a "fire dragon" came down from top to bottom, with the momentum of carrying the wind and rain, and pounced on his side! First of all, several soldiers were frightened, like seeing ghosts, nervously shouting, "The Romans have flown down from the sky", and the screams and panic spread like an explosion, spreading throughout the camp, and all the people scrambled to get on their horses and flee, and for a time the sound in the camp was as if a hundred temples had collapsed at the same time.

The fire dragon, which was more than thirty camping slaves, lined up in a column, holding the pine light on the pickaxe, the effect of the performance, Hybrida rushed forward bravely, rushing down from the mountain pass, shouting the names of the god of war Mars and the goddess Minerva, and also shouting the names of the family gods (there are many names, please forgive Calabis for not being able to hear them all), and more than a hundred soldiers of the three companies, regardless of the formation, regardless of fatigue, all shouted and charged down together.

They quickly cut through the deer barrage and fence of the Armenian camp, crossed the trench, and quickly burst in, "Why are you so excited?" As he ran, his hair was blown messy, and he yelled at him, his skirt fluttering, and Adiana, who rushed with a pickaxe, asked, it was hard to imagine that this person was actually the princess of the kingdom of Pontus, but more like a female barbarian.

"Calabis, I feel that in my body, the blood of my ancestors has awakened. That's right, the blood of the Mithra family, the bravery, cunning, and ruthless instincts, I may become the queen of Pontus in the future! "Adiana is already incoherent.

At the side of the convoy in front of the Tegrenice camp, the 3rd Wing engaged in a great melee with the Armenian Janissaries, who were selected from the sons of the nobles who had settled in the Taurus Mountains, who wore chest armor forged from stainless steel, white tassels of pride and honor on their helmets, and round shields and sharp spears in their hands, but these "shelf goods" were not good in front of the veterans of the 3rd Wing, and in the melee they were pierced, slashed, stabbed, and stabbed with incomparably nimble short swords, and in a short time many corpses were thrown down. They didn't care about the faces of any nobles, and they couldn't see it in the dark night anyway, so they fled one after another, giving up their big camp in Bixia.

The soldiers, and even the slaves, could not contain their excitement and joy, and they stood at the entrance of the camp, and cut down and killed the chiefs and generals who were drunk and panicked, and many of them began to search for treasures on chariots and corpses, digging and prirying, and were very busy. Angry, Hybrida scolded, "If you haven't seen the world, follow me into this big camp, where there are mountains of good things." ”

Taking advantage of this gap, some of the Armenian warriors who reacted found that the number of Romans was actually very small, so they prepared to surround them.

At this time, the huge chaos in the Armenian military camp caused unease in the Roman position, and many centurions felt extremely strange, because none of them had received the order to attack at night in advance, so who were these Armenians fighting against? The nearest to the camp was the 1st Brigade of the Eleventh Legion, whose chief centurion approached the military tribune Appis in full costume and asked him what he should do about the situation.

Appis glanced at the chief centurion and said, "Judging by your attire and dress, you shouldn't need to ask me about this kind of thing, right?" ”

The chief centurion understood, gave a military salute, and said, "Your Excellency, perhaps a certain team of brothers has entered." Your Excellency, for the sake of the integrity of this brotherly team, I am determined to abandon the night camp and attack it directly! ”

The young military tribune nodded, and suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves and shouts of slaughter from his position, it was a Roman cavalry, led by a slender and handsome officer, had rushed into the Armenian camp, and the chief centurion of the eleventh army shouted: "Oh no, it's Lucuras's brother-in-law, the cavalry captain Claudius!" Can't let him take the credit and the spoils, brothers, the Eleventh Legion is the best, follow me. ”

"Stride God of War, Stride God of War!" The most elite first brigade, full of veterans with more than ten years of military experience, heard the centurion's words, chanted and encouraged each other, and also rushed out of the position.

Taking this as an opportunity, all the Roman wings and hundred-man teams moved, and launched a fierce attack on the Armenians without Jihua in advance, and even the belated Murilla detachment on the top of the hill discovered Utiris and learned the real situation on the battlefield.

So there was a peculiar sight on the battlefield: the third wing of High-Bridda surrounded the tent of Tegrenys; Externally, the Armenian Janissaries surrounded the Third Wing to the bare water; Looking at the entire exterior, the Roman three-winged men and horses launched a fierce siege on the Armenian army that was defending the camp.

The whole situation is like the core, pulp and peel of the fruit burning together.

"Keep your head down, put your head down!" Calabis shouted, their camp slaves, with only pickaxes and axes in their hands, and in the cold arrows fired by the Armenians from all sides, the cats carefully followed the soldiers of the regiment, looking for cover in the various war workshops, and approached the big tent, the door of which was full of dead bodies, and everywhere there was fire.

Outside the camp there was a bustling crowd of people, and the Armenians did not understand the extent of the situation, and most of them were just hanging from afar.

"I'm going to get my own loot!" It was Adiana's cry, and she broke free from Calabis's pull and rushed out, "Damn", and just as Calabis tried to pull her back, three or four arrows fell between him and her, and so frightened that Calabis shrank back, took a shield from another camping slave, and ran out again.

"Hey, you're a princess, when did you change this kind of character setting without authorization?" Calabis chases and shouts while holding the shield, and then Adiana yells "Be careful" and turns around and knocks Calabis down. Calabis felt nothing but warmth on his chest, and then a loud rumble rolled in front of his feetβ€”it was a light chariot with spears stretched out from its axles and carriages, and it rushed in from the outside, and the axles turned rapidly, and the rumbling and sharp sounds, and the soldiers of the three companies threw javelins at it from all directions, but they were cleverly avoided by the skilful driver, who was actually the prince of Armenia, Little Tegre, like a shrewd stat.

"Don't get in the way!" At the moment of the brush, little Tegre took out a javelin from the car and threw it at Adiana and Calabis who were lying on the ground!
