Chapter 16 Hills (Part 2)

The last procedure for makeup was that the concubine from Medi, who tied up Surena's beautiful black hair and tied it into the hairstyle of the noble young man in her place. She raised her hair bun and then applied two colorful lines on Surena's forehead with red red, mixed with his eyebrows, like the wings of a goshawk. At this time, the actors in the center of the stage had reached the most "gaochao" part of the whole drama. Their necks were shaking rapidly, shouting famous quotes from the tragedy:

Alas, why did the Greeks fight?

"Why are there many wars? Glory, wealth, beauty, or the most confused impulse in a man's heart?" Surena tied up the Persian hunting suit with a standing collar, then stepped on his navy blue divine horse, turned around and kissed goodbye to all the concubines standing in the smoke and dust. Then, the thousand walking Rong clan serfs behind him, playing the horns, surrounded the young masters and walked towards the battlefield.

After walking out of the vehicle camp, Surena threw all the Rong warriors behind him, and rode down the hill like lightning. Wherever he passed, the elite Parthian cavalry hidden behind the dunes were on their horses and began to trot quietly, following behind the front line of troops, making it impossible for the Romans to see their huge strength. Soon, all the cavalry of the vanguard saw a young, slender, handsome, but with a pretentious oriental ornamental ornamental, standing tall barbarian heads, riding horizontally, facing the wind and sand, with a contemptuous and bewitching smile, looking at the Galaxia cavalry at the confrontation line, flowing through the flowing flow.

Seeing this figure, Kasio, on the left wing, even held his breath. He finally couldn't help but say, "Surena has appeared. This shows that more Parthian elites are hiding behind the front line!" He hurriedly instructed the trumpeters beside him and blew the trumpet of emergency, meaning that after all the Megabe's vanguard cavalry retreated to the infantry phalanx, do not fight against the sudden attack on the Parthians.

But it was too late, and thousands of cavalrymen on the front line of Parthia suddenly accelerated and suddenly rang behind them. A huge and shocking sound was suddenly sounded. These were four large chariots, each of which were giant drums covered with cowhide and copper surfaces. Sixteen priests were storming themselves. Wherever the sound reached, Roman horses had never heard of this sound. They neighed and bit each other in fear, and some carried their masters and ran backwards. The entire cavalry battle formation began to become chaotic.

Megabe shouted in anger and shouted loudly that the trumpeter would blow the signal of a death battle, "Rise up the shield and form a formation!" After saying that, the Roman Ala cavalry took the lead and hurriedly raised the shields layer by layer. Then, many of the cavalry of Gerasha barely stabilized their positions in front of the Parthian drum after going around the circle and surrounded their commander again.

With the loud drums, the cavalry on the Parthian line rushed faster and faster. Many light cavalrymen were galloping, and they used their recurved bows in their hands to shoot sharp arrows. They crossed a considerable distance and pierced on the shields of the Roman cavalry. As a result, Megabe's team screamed one after another. This kind of Celtic-based elliptical cavalry shield could not resist the clusters of arrows that enhanced the pulling force shot by the Parthians. Some shields The cards were worn in pieces, some penetrated the wrists of the cavalry, and many arrows directly stabbed the mounts under their crotch. These little horses were not protected by horse armor, and they had to escape again due to pain, leaving many Galaxans off their horses. These people could only stumble and move back together. Some fell in the second round of arrow feathers, while others hid behind their friend's shields, picked up their weapons and tried to protect themselves.

The Parthians had extremely lethal arrow clusters, but they kept shooting, like a pot of boiling water poured into the formation of the Roman cavalry, with flesh and blood everywhere bursting everywhere, and another shocking drum sound. The Parthians who were charging suddenly lifted the skins and cloaks covered with horses, and the sky was filled with clothes flying like grass. These oven cavalry were obviously carefully "reduced". They used armor in bronze and steel, and compared with the traditional heavy cavalry of Herod, it reduced some unnecessary links. In addition, these armors were all made by the Almagias, and they had unparalleled defense while being light and thin, which made them very easy to charge with spears on the horse's back.

With an extremely violent impact, the heavy cavalry on the front line easily tore the formation of the vanguard cavalry. Megabe was determined not to suffer any loss and walked around the wings with the remaining troops, because he knew he would receive reinforcements and rescue from Little Crassu and Kasio. Then, hundreds of heavy cavalry and spear tips, with wind and rain, unstoppable into the front of the infantry defense of Shensorenus, although most of the soldiers standing on the front line were destroyed by them.

But Shen Suoruus strengthened the depth of the team. The soldiers of the Second Roman Legion continued to bravely pounce on them and fought with these armored monsters. They poked the horse's eyes with the Pirum javelin. Without much effort, they killed and injured nearly half of the opponent's troops. The facts still proved that as long as the infantry team remained strict and disciplined, no matter how heavy the cavalry was, it would be difficult to get a head-on advantage.

Surena, who was watching the battle command on the opposite dune, was very glad that he did not put all the elites into the front line, so he easily let his entourage collectively ring a leather drum. This was the signal of retreating in front. The remaining heavy cavalry turned around a little clumsyly, and then turned back to the starting point with the light cavalry of the brigade. They were still responding to the fierce drum on the horse's back, and collectively let out a low howl like a beast, which made the Roman soldiers standing there feel a little shocked.

At this time, Crasus suddenly blew a trumpet, inciting all the light auxiliary infantry in the large square formation, carrying stone-cat ropes and bows and arrows, rushed out of the front of the heavy infantry, and went to chase the retreating cavalry of the Parthians. When the other generals wanted to dissuade them, it was too late. At a distance of one furon from the large square formation, Parthian's light cavalry suddenly turned around and shot out the "returning horse arrows" that the nomadic peoples were best at. As a result, Crasus' light infantry was shot overturned, and the one behind quickly turned around and ran into the large square formation again. Parthian's cavalry briskly surpassed their two wings, and the arrows were interlaced and rained down. In the end, only two-thirds of the personnel were left, and they ran back in a mess, and refused their command to reassemble and fight, only knowing to stay in the square formation.

After half a day, Surena's overall offensive quickly unfolded!
