Augustus Road

Chapter 9 Fighting on the Mountain Road (Part 2)

The captain of the imperial guard had no choice but to retreat. Then he stood in front of the camp gate and saw the roar of killing at the mountain pass above his head. A "fire dragon" came down from top to bottom, carrying the wind and rain with its momentum. Come towards your side! First, a few soldiers were frightened, as if they had seen a ghost, and they shouted nervously, "The Romans are flying down from the sky." This was spread from ten to ten, and the screams and panic were like explosions throughout the camp. The atmosphere spread, and everyone scrambled to get on their horses and escape. For a moment, the sound in the camp was like a hundred temples collapsing at the same time.

That fire dragon was exactly the effect of the performance of more than thirty camp slaves, who lined up in a column and held the pine trees on their pickaxes. Hebrida moved forward bravely and rushed down from the mountain pass, shouting Calling the names of Mars, the god of war, and Minerva, the goddess of war, and shouting the names of the family gods (there are many names, please forgive Calabis for not being able to hear them all clearly), more than a hundred soldiers from the third regiment, regardless of formation and fatigue, They all shouted and charged down together.

They quickly cut open the fences and fences of the Armenian camp, jumped over the ditch, and quickly rushed in. "Why are you so excited?" As they ran, Karabis's hair was blown into a mess, and he yelled, Adiana asked with her skirt fluttering and charging forward with a pickaxe. Now it is hard to imagine that this person is actually the princess of the Kingdom of Pontus, but more like a barbarian.

"Calabis, I feel that the blood of my ancestors has awakened in my body. Yes, the blood of the Mitra family, the bravery, cunning, and fighting instincts, I may become the queen of Pontus in the future!" Adiana Already incoherent.

At the convoy in front of the Tegranis camp, the Third Regiment started a big melee with the Armenian Guards. The Guards were all selected from the sons of nobles who settled in the Taurus Mountains. They wore fine steel The forged breastplate, the white tassel that symbolizes pride and honor is inserted on the helmet, and the round shield and sharp spear are used in the hands, but these "shelf goods" are no longer enough in front of the veteran Youzi of the third regiment. In the melee, They were stabbed, chopped, stabbed, and stabbed by the extremely flexible dagger. Within a short time, many corpses were thrown away. They all ran away without caring about the dignity of the nobles. They could not be seen in the dark anyway. Give up their Majesty's camp.

All the soldiers, and even the slaves, could not restrain their excitement and joy. They guarded the entrance of the camp and chopped down and killed the chiefs and generals who were drunk and rushed out in a panic. Many people were jealous of the shining gold. They all began to search for treasures on chariots and corpses, digging and prying, and were very busy. Heibida was so angry that she yelled, "If you have never seen the world, follow me into this camp. There are mountains of good things there."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, some Armenian warriors who reacted realized that the number of Romans was actually very small, so they in turn prepared to surround them. It should be said that even though these warriors were small, for the third regiment, they were already a powerful force. The overwhelming advantage is overwhelming.

At this time, the huge chaos in the Armenian military camp caused uneasiness in the Roman position. 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 fiercely? The one closest to the main camp was the First Battalion of the Eleventh Legion. Their chief centurion came to the military tribune Apis in full uniform and asked him how he should deal with this situation.

Apis glanced at the chief centurion and said, "Looking at your attire and appearance, you shouldn't need to ask me about this kind of thing, right?"

The chief centurion understood the idea and made a military salute and said, "Your Excellency, maybe a certain team of brothers has entered. Your Excellency, for the sake of the safety of this team of brothers, I am determined to abandon the night camp and attack directly!"

The young military tribune nodded, and suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves and shouts of death coming from his position. It was a Roman cavalry, led by a slender and handsome officer, who had rushed into Armenia. In the people's camp, there was a commotion, and the chief centurion of the Eleventh Legion shouted: "Oh no, it's Luculas' brother-in-law, the cavalry captain Claudius! We can't let him seize the credit and spoils, brothers, The 11th Legion is the best, follow me.”

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

Taking this as an opportunity, all the Roman regiments and centurions took action and launched an unplanned fierce attack on the Armenians. Even the belated Murila detachment on the top of the mountain discovered Uteris and learned that Knowing the true situation on the battlefield, the helpless Murila thought that she had been "dispatched" by the bastard Heibrida, so she had no choice but to lead the entire detachment and attack the mountain.

Then a strange scene appeared on the battlefield: the third regiment of Hybrida surrounded the big tent of Tegranis; and outside, the Armenian Praetorian Guards surrounded the third regiment impeccably; looking around, To the entire outside, the three-winged Roman troops launched a fierce siege against the Armenian army defending the camp.

The whole situation is like the pit, pulp and peel burning together.

"Lower your head, lower your head!" Karabis shouted. Their group of camp slaves only had pickaxes, axes and other gadgets in their hands. They followed the arrows fired from all directions by the Armenians with their waists bent and cautiously followed. The soldiers of the regiment were looking for cover in the tanks and kept approaching the tent. The entrance to the tent was piled with dead bodies, and there were fires burning everywhere.

Outside the camp, people were swarming. The Armenians didn't understand how serious the situation had become. Most of them just shot arrows from a distance.

"I want to get my own spoils!" This was Adiana's cry. She broke free from Carapis's pull and rushed out. "Damn it!" Carapis just wanted to pull her back, and three or four arrows fell from the gap between him and her. Carapis was so scared that he shrank back, took a shield from another slave in the camp, and ran out again.

"Hey, you are a princess. When did you change this role setting without authorization?" Carapis, holding a shield, chased and shouted, and then Adiana shouted "Be careful", turned around and knocked Carapis down. Carabis felt a warm sensation on his chest, and then a huge rumble rolled past his feet. It was a light chariot with sharp spears on its axles and carriages, rushing in from the outside. The rapidly rotating axles made a sharp rumbling sound. The soldiers of the three regiments threw javelins at it from all directions, but they were all cleverly avoided by the skilled driver, who was actually the Armenian prince Tegre, like a clever stag.

"Don't block the way!" At the moment of passing by, Tegre took out a javelin from the chariot and threw it at Adiana and Carabis who were lying on the ground!
