Chapter 2 Counterattack (2)

The Yagayans fought back and attacked the bronze shield army that was sieging the city ahead. This decision was established when they saw Karabis "pushing" the princess down the city wall.

Due to the special terrain of the Acropolis, the Bendu Army had to divide it into two parts to attack the city. Part of it was the main force of the Copper Shield Army led by Minand. They attacked the south of the city along the slopes that had been built in advance, because only this was an open coastal land to facilitate the development of the large army; part was commanded by Stratonic's younger brother Pascius, and most of the craftsmen and military slaves were there, but there were very few regular soldiers. A siege position was set up along the main gate of the Acropolis, which was to the east. For no other reason, the forests on both sides of the street were more convenient to obtain wood.

Now, the Agayas burned the two main army's hub camps, cut off their connection, and drew their swords and rushed towards the Minander tribe, with a feeling of avenging the king, which was unstoppable (they did not have the heart to tell the difference between Mitradati and his daughter's position).

Minander moved very quickly. He called the bodyguard and carried the beauty who was calling his younger brother Passius on his shoulders. He abandoned most of his subordinates who were still brave enough to attack the city on the slope. He stepped on the shimmering sea water and boarded the boat and quickly headed towards the big fifty oars moored on the shore. Of course, they had lost their subordinates and did not dare to go to Pontikabien, but turned to join Pompei.

After all, there is a vault in Stratonis's hands.

Just a quarter of an hour later, the bronze shield army gathered on the slope was squeezed and assaulted by Agaya and the Romans from both directions. The battle situation quickly turned into a massacre. All the Roman soldiers waved their arms that were so tired that they were almost numb. They stabbed their enemies to death. Or smashed their heads and helmets with a pickaxe. "Don't kill them anymore, they surrender! The bronze shield army in Bendu has surrendered!" On the high platform of the inner wall, Karabis waved and shouted, in order to stop the red-eyed soldiers, the flag-holder next to him kept singing flags, but it was still useless.

Then, at the exit of the hidden corridor in the city wall, the Roman Ala cavalry rushed out. Although there were only a hundred cavalry forces, they still rushed towards Pascius's siege equipment position like sparks. Each cavalry had a hay bale under the saddle. After igniting, they threw them at the huge siege equipment. Then they jumped off their horses, drew their swords and fought with the enemy's soldiers like infantry, and the craftsmen were fighting. At this time, the veterans lined up in the tortoise shell formation also killed from the main gate, and in the center of the tortoise shell formation. People kept igniting cups and torches and threw them out everywhere. The equipment of the people of the Bendu people was destroyed.

There were burning and collapse everywhere, and followers were running away everywhere. Pascius also felt that it was too dangerous to continue to hold this position, but he could not meet with Minander and his sister, so he quickly gave the command to the messenger the order to "retreat to the quarry and assemble again", and then stepped on his mount and ran away in a hurry. This "retreat" quickly evolved into a "disorderly retreat" and then evolved into a complete collapse. Everyone fled in the mountains and fields toward the quarry. Mules, horses and war horses rushed in groups and were easily captured by the Romans.

It was not until sunset that Pascius and a few core soldiers set up simple stones and wooden fences on a high ground in the quarry to defend themselves, resting and breathing. He looked at the vast ocean beside him, burning and abandoned positions in front of him, and could only shed tears and she was ready to retreat to the Strait of Cimerian before the Romans came to rush to the Simerian Strait and sneak away on a boat, and wait until he had the chance to meet his sister again.

At this time, several subordinates suggested that he should not act rashly and establish a firm foothold first, so as not to be pursued and killed by the Romans who rushed over in panic. In addition, there were many wounded soldiers and lack of horses, so he had to gather his troops first. Seeing that his subordinates were sincere in their advice, Pascius agreed.

"Open the gate quickly, that's our horses." Several Bendu soldiers shouted excitedly, and those familiar with horses blew the whistle of the summoning. Under the dim setting sun, in the night fog, about ten war horses, and pack horses were running towards Pascius' camp.

The soldiers divided into two groups and pushed open the temporary gate. Pascius asked his two subordinates to light torches and ran to the front to choose a horse to escape tomorrow. His current mount had just sprained his ankle.

The neighing and horse hooves sounded by the gate. Then, Pascius saw two pretty horses running towards him with their hooves. He was very satisfied, but he did not pay attention to the terrifying expression on the faces of the soldiers beside the gate. Finally, he heard the soldiers shouting:

"There are people under the horse's belly!"

Sure enough, two people suddenly appeared on the backs of the two horses. Of course, this was Helenputina and El Capa. They were close to Bendu camp before, so they grabbed the saddle with both hands, stretched their legs to the one-sided kickstick opposite, hid under the horse's belly, and rushed in in the horse's herd.

Now that the target has been determined, the Queen of Amazon has long legs, flicked her legs, swirled, and then straddled her straddle, and completed it in one go. The Tifo shield in her hand "swish" out of the tip of the blade. Then the horse's inertia cut off the stunned Pasius's head directly. El Capa, who was galloping from the side, took out the short javelin from under the saddle, and inserted Pasius' head steadily in the air. Then the two turned the horse's head, picked up Pasius' head, and escaped directly from the gate, disappearing into the twilight.

In the middle of the night, the Romans were still caring in the acropolis. They followed the customs of the barbarians and cut off the heads of the enemy's dead, preparing to hang them on the walls against the bay in the future, and threatened the Navy of Bendu, Hebrida, drinking the wine seized from the Bendu camp, and shouting that there would be a fleet here, and he could take a boat, destroy all the Bendu ships, and rush to the Palace of Marca to leave, and capture the emperors of Bendu.

"Divid half of the seizures to the Agayas and allow them to continue to live in the camp abandoned by the people of the capital. Tonight the Acropolis will still arrange guards. I will inspect them myself after two dark nights." In front of the small temple of Minerva, Karabis instructed several centurions that he did not dare to put the Agayas into the Acropolis because he was worried that the other party would discover Adianna's "trick".

"Listen, the Legion envoy, it's not enough to give half, at most one third. This battle was won by us Romans!" a centurion said in a dissatisfied tone.

Karabis looked at him, nodded with his lips, then hung his helmet on his waist, and walked into the temple hall. Karabis saw Adiana sitting back with her knees. Standing next to him was Xiao Niko, holding a dagger and staring at her. It was obvious that the princess was closely supervised by the envoy's daughter.

"Do you eat mazza? It's made from newly seized wheat flour, although it's not as delicious as my woman." Karabis held the dough and said to the princess who stared at angry and helpless eyes.

"Bastard!" Adiana gritted her teeth, and then two tears fell down, and her eyes became determined, "The Mitra royal family will not be willing to be insulted like this. They are patient until now that they are going to die in front of you. When I go to the underworld, I will curse you again, but you will not die well!"

After saying that, Adiana suddenly took out the gold pendant, twisted the lid, and poured the venom into her mouth! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
