Chapter 34: Breaking the Camp and Setting Up the Camp (Part 2)

But no one organized the manpower to capture the lighthouse on the top of the mountain, because when Akilo was fighting happily on the water wall, he was hit by a stone in the chest armor, and was hit in the foot by a branch. He was seriously injured and the corner of his mouth was bleeding. After being carried down, the soldiers in the entire western fortress were completely out of control. They could only move eastward and westward under the shouts of the low-level leaders, unable to react to the fierce attacks of Lepidah's men. , slowly started to lose sight of one thing.

The first to make a breakthrough was the fleet of Faobinas. The heavy infantry of Cyrene completely occupied the water wall at noon the next day, and began to follow the narrow plank road, one-on-one with Hasidic believers. Fighting and slowly approaching the pier, the believers who lost their command actually forgot that they should have burned down the plank road with a fire when the situation of the water wall was unfavorable.

Then the Hebrida brigade in the Harp Cart also captured the southern city wall and began to sweep and kill the swarming Hasidic defeated soldiers. Arp led the skillful and bold Medje Guards and climbed directly On the patio of the top tower of the fortress, bows and arrows were fired directly below. The sunlight leaking from the patio was full of white arrow feathers falling down, just like the threads on a loom, and the blood kept splashing. Here is the hash It was a place where women and children of Di believers took refuge, but Alp, who was red-eyed, couldn't care so much. He only saw the remaining believers stumbling towards this place and slamming the bronze doors on both sides of the tower. As a result, when they saw When he saw his wife and children covered in arrows and lying dead in the tower, he felt completely desperate. He raised his dagger and took his own life. Akilo was lying on a stretcher and was thrown into the courtyard. On the edge of his body, his breathing was rapid and his pupils were dilated. He knew that a stream of arrows would hit his neck without hesitation, which would end his unbearable pain.

Late afternoon. The fortress of the Western Hills fell into the water of the Romans.

The next day, Lepidah's military envoy Sabokemus appeared in the hall of Yazda Fortress.

"Have your general's peace terms changed again? Do you want me to hand over all the deserters in his team, including the leader Eumenes?" David Anget stood to receive the envoy. Said to Sabo.

It turned out that this guy was actually the supreme commander of Yazda Fortress, but Sabo remained calm and continued, "Of course, this is just a private negotiation by the commander-in-chief of our army. As long as Eumenes and other rebels are handed over, And by handing over the Yazda Fortress, your army can safely retreat to the city of Cyrene, and then my merchant ships can deliver a month's worth of grain and meat to the city without any additional conditions."

"Eumenis is in the fortress barracks." Ankit stayed put and pointed to the back. Then he saw that Sabo was also motionless and smiled. He sat on the bench next to the wall, but did not lie down, and said to Sabo, "At your age, how many years have you been following General Lepidus?"

"More than three years, Your Excellency, Commander."

"He is a soldier who keeps his word. Is he similar to those figures in ancient Rome who possessed the virtues of the city?"

"He is not a Roman. But he is still worthy of trust and loyalty." Sabo replied firmly. "I feel that when I return to my hometown in Spain in the future, I can proudly say to my mother that I followed a brave and wise superior."

"But I can't. Even if there is a little compromise today, I have no face to face any relatives in my hometown of Cyrene. So I think the promise between me and General Lepidus is to fight to the end together until one of the two sides fails. Until it perishes," Ankit said quietly, and then said in Judea, "God gave the world life and death."

But after hearing this, Sabo did not leave according to the normal procedure, but continued to ask the Hasidic commander to answer a question for him, a personal question, "Reduction of taxes, amnesty for the remaining believers of the war, protection of Cyrene Temple, eliminate this war, and many women and children will not die under weapons. I am confused. General Lepidus is obviously different from all Roman generals. These conditions should be very lenient. Why do you insist on it? Is it because of faith that we can continue to resist? Isn’t it the best faith to live well in this world?”

At this time, David Anget slowly stood up and leaned on the wall, "Many years ago, the king of Persia just captured the city of Babylon and released the imprisoned Judeans, and the king won the Messiah. Looking at your Roman history, is there anything more obscene and ridiculous than this? We just hope to change this fact with blood, the blood of the Jews themselves.”

"But you are only an Edomite." After saying that, Sabo gave David Anget a meaningful look, then stood up straight and saluted him goodbye.

Then, David Anget walked to the railing of the tower and smiled bitterly. At this time, the messenger rode back and forth on the school field below twice, shouting to the commander above, "Romans!" They began to use large ships to cross the river and set up camp on the southern plain of Yazda Fortress." Anget sneered twice and said to Pation beside him, "Just deal with it south of the city gate. Lepidus's. The main force will definitely penetrate into the north of the city."

Pation was a little confused as to how his commander could be so sure.

But Ankit's guess was of course true. The cunning Lepidus was using a large ship to carry several infantry brigades of the Thirteenth Legion, while he was feinting towards the south of Yazda, while he was taking the Medic Guards, Cyrene The legion's thousand-man brigade, together with three Aesio auxiliary brigade, quietly went north along the Torstone River in a small boat, and then landed in the shallows.

Li Bi Da had planned it out long ago. He first set up an infantry defense line on the north bank of Yazda, and then deployed large ships to block the river. In this way, the connection between Yazda Fortress and Cyrene was cut off. In addition to the previous blockade of supplies, he did not believe that Yazda Fortress could hold out for how long in such a scarce environment.

However, when General Li Bi Da led his team to a densely forested hillside in the north of Yazda to prepare for fortifications, Yazda Fortress suddenly issued a battle cry, and David Ankit rushed out with a powerful military force, "Why, the enemy should be mobilized and focus on the south!" Li Bi Da bet on his own cleverness, but when this cleverness did not show the effect, he realized the great danger of rashly leaving the base and detouring the main force in front of the enemy.

Moreover, in order to show his prestige, Lepidus went to war this time with a full set of clothes that were the style of the king of Cyrenaica, including a crown with blue feathers, a crown inlaid with carnelian, gilded armor, and a gorgeous light chariot that he carried with the army, although he did not ride it himself, not to mention the eye-catching ram-head flag of the god Amon.

All of this made him the most delicious hunting target in the upcoming battle.
