The three brigades of Karabis guarded the passages of about ten Stadia below the acropolis, located in the center of the battle formation. The left wing is the Bosphorus light infantry, now guarding a raised hill to guard the side of the Roman legion; the right wing is the mixed formation of Roman auxiliary cavalry and the Royal Cavalry of Marca, moving along the coast.

Before the war, Karabis calculated the number of people slightly, with about 3,000 people on the left wing. The three brigades in the core of the central government ruled out the previous reduction, leaving about 1,300 heavy infantry, plus hundreds of auxiliary stragglers, and about 500 cavalry on his right wing.

Absolutely, the absolute number of disadvantages for Bendu's army is all about the damn Marca and Claudi. In addition, a group of centuries with only blood and courage have noisy, which forces us to go out to fight. In fact, the safest way is to hold the guard city and wait for the snow to melt in the spring. The successors of the Thirteenth Legion and the fleet arrive together to cut off the Simmerian Strait, then Mitradati and Adianna will definitely surrender. But now... Fortunately, in this situation, I, Karabis, have been familiar with Lukulas' theory of battle formations before, and it has repeatedly emphasized that it is not terrible that the number of troops is at a disadvantage. In the face of this situation, you must have a preset and complete retreat and advance position. In this way, even if you rely on a few soldiers, you can still tug-of-war with the enemy without falling behind.

This preset position, just behind the entire army, sandwiched between the two forest passages, is an open lime-soil texture. Pop guided a large number of military slaves. First, they dug out a circular section of trenches, leaving a vertical dike between each section of trenches for several people to pass side by side, and then the baggage vehicles, firewood, and mules and horses were also arranged along the trenches, and the army slaves carrying axes, belly bows, and light scorpion cannons were on standby.

It can be seen that before Karabis advanced, he was ready to retreat with one blow, which was one of the reasons why Helenputina was angry with him. However, he was not afraid of others making fun of him for lack of courage. After learning the history of war in detail, he always determined that the famous saying "A general who can charge is just a brave general, and a general who can retreat is a good general - Karabis Gorailius Marcos f" was effective.

When the long-lost sunshine came from the accumulated winter clouds for many days and thrust into the entire ocean and land, Karabis made up his mind to "end the battle as soon as possible and withdraw the main force": the big square formation of Bendu stepped on the entire land trembling, and rolled in from the east. This was a "division" of the Copper Shield Army with more than 4,000 people, a total of four regiments and sixteen independent battalion-level phalanx. Each battalion was lined with sixteen soldiers in a horizontal row, and the back was lined with sixteen soldiers. The first five rows of soldiers held a very long streak.

Macedonian spears run together to increase the kinetic energy of the spear tip. The spears of the last three rows of soldiers extended at oblique angles, and the last eight rows of soldiers' spears were almost vertical, which could shake the spear forest to resist the arrows flying by the enemy. In each square formation, there were also "chains" composed of light shield soldiers and camp slaves, and eight rows of light-armed spearmen in depth, as well as stone casters and archers, who maintained the front lines between the battalions to prevent the enemy's side attacks and infiltration attacks. In addition, the entire city's army was about 7,000 on the front line.

Fortunately, the cavalry of Bendu was completely lost in the previous Battle of Khlsonez, so there were not many cavalry accompanying the square formation.

The great emperor Mitradati of Bendu, because his old wounds relapsed, was unable to ride a horse. He asked the slaves to carry him in a gorgeous sedan chair and walk through various phalanxes. All the soldiers shook their spears or knocked on shields to cheer and salute their emperors. Mitradati didn't need to say anything. He just needed to stretch his hands to the soldiers, and tears flashed in his eyes, which was enough to make his subordinates determined to fight.

Amid the sound of horns, the division-level phalanx of Bendu began to attack the central nuclear part of the Roman army like violent porcupines along the street.

Karabis's location was on the hillside connected to the central street of the left wing high ground. He saw that there was a ruin of a quarry between his side and the Bendu Legion. The terrain was undulating and slightly broken. He then announced the order to advance to several messengers. The messengers nodded and rode their horses toward the various 100-man teams. Then the eagle flag shaking. This was the order to advance across the line. The 10th brigade walked in front. The flag-master officer held the flag with the palm marking, guiding the other follow-up 100-man teams to advance towards the ruins of the quarry.

The troops on the other two wings also began to advance rush left and right.

"Queen of Amazon, I will ride a horse with you, keep up with the team, and perform command duties." Karabis raised his hand and asked Helenputina, who was riding on the white horse.

"Eila." The queen said briefly, and then Karabis was lifted by Ella from behind and rode a horse with Ella. The queen herself rode down the hillside with Elkapa.

The sunlight appeared and disappeared, and the speed of the Roman legion was obviously better. They were all loose 100-man teams, running freely on the rugged terrain, and soon arrived at the commanding heights of the quarry. At this time, the bronze shield quarry army of Bendu happened to have just arrived at the foot of the quarry. Hebrida whistled like a lifeless. In the shouting, accompanied by the Thracian soldiers of each of the 100-man teams, rushed out and threw a gun at the quarry. Many soldiers in the Bendu quarry were pierced and fell down, but the subsequent people quickly filled the vacant combat position, and they held high

The extremely long spear swayed rapidly, and many light javelins flying in fell. The sun suddenly appeared. All the soldiers of Rome faced the bright sun, and were so excited that they could not open their eyes and could not aim at the position with the javelins. Menand, the governor of the Bondu Copper Shield Army, seized this opportunity and raised his cane to issue an order to attack. The roar of the Bondu square formation made people devastated. They rushed up along the slope with dense spears. The light shield soldiers climbed up first and prepared to fight with the Roman front.

If you are entangled by these light shield soldiers, then when the square formation rushes up, the Roman army will instantly rush across the field under the spear charge. Hebrida whistled twice again. The ten flags marked by his palm swing almost in the opposite direction. Using this as a signal, each hundred-man team retreated quickly, leaving only the extremely resilient Thrace scattered soldiers. After special training, they can form groups in groups of three or five, using light javelins, daggers and half-moon shields, and always maintain a distance from the square formation to fight with the enemy at a distance beyond the hand-to-hand combat, blocking the opponent's forward speed.
