Chapter 1: Throughout (Part 2)
Ankit pressed Lepidus under him again, then drew out his saber and pointed it at Lepidus' soft neck, which was one of the few places on his body that was not protected by armor. A headbutt, then a kick, knocking the opponent over on the opposite side. Then he launched a counterattack and pinned Ankit down. Ankit's mouth and nose were bleeding, but the sword in his hand turned like a snake and flew towards Lepidah's armpit. It seemed that this man had been well trained. While describing the fighting skills of the scimitar, Lepidus turned sideways, and the scimitar was pulled from his waist, blood splashed out, and his soul was about to burst out in pain. Fortunately, the curvature of the gilt armor was not bad, and it offset the Most of the machete's lethality was eliminated, otherwise his internal organs and intestines would have definitely come out.
The moment Lepidus turned sideways, Ankit was lying on his side below, and then he flew up with an elbow. The opponent's teeth flew out, and he fell to the side with blood foam at the mouth.
Ankit climbed up and held the handle of the knife again, and then saw Lepidah covering his face, hunched over and crawling on the ground in pain with his back to him. Ankit gritted his teeth, slightly changed the way he held the scimitar, strode forward, grabbed the blue feathers on Lepidah's helmet, and prepared to put the scimitar across his neck, and end this with a direct stroke. A fight.
But in the blink of an eye, Lepidus took off his helmet, turned around and hit Ankit right on the front of his head. He staggered a few steps, but he still adjusted his posture very quickly and struck at the opponent with the knife again—— He was very confident that when Lepidus fell from his horse, there was no weapon around him, and the Spartan sword was still hanging on the saddle of his mount.
But he didn't know that the other party also had a deadly weapon. That is Thracian fighting fist. I saw Li Bida flashing slightly. Then the uppercut turned upward and hit the armpit of Anjit's outstretched right arm. The bones cracked, and Anjit's scimitar also fell into the sand. He fell to his knees on the ground, unable to stretch out in pain. He straightened his body and said, "Have you thought about what to say to your wife and children at the end?" Lepida grabbed Ankit's neck with his hands and was about to break it with force. There was a sound of horses neighing behind him, and several Ankit's followers came towards him with swords raised.
In this situation, Lepidus could only turn over and jump out of the circle. A gust of wind and dust came and stood between him and Anget. When the Roman general saw the owl running towards him, he faced it. Ankit shouted, "Why did you refuse to strike and negotiate with me? What generous terms I offered!"
"Kill him!" A figure on horseback rushed out from behind Ankit. It turned out to be Eumenes, the former deserter. He drew his spear and charged at Lepidus. Wanting to stab his former superior to death, Lepidus turned his body, quickly grasped the tip of the spear with both hands, then turned around and pulled, and the horse pushed down in the same direction. Eumenes' mount immediately flipped forward and knelt down, and his master was beaten Six Roman feet away. At this time, the owl came. Lepidus got on his horse, drew his sword, and first trampled the back of Eumenes who had not yet stood up with a horse's hoof. Then he waved Sparta lightly, and Eumenes' head flew away. The cavity is like a stone bullet fired from a ballista.
Finally, Li Bida turned around and took a long look at Ankit who was being supported by others, and left.
"Leave me alone and keep chasing." Ankit was sweating from the pain, but he still kept giving orders to the people around him. But at this moment, this order could no longer be realized - Phaobinas, who had set up the formation, brought all the weapons with him. The Roman soldiers and horses rushed over. Faobinas seemed to be an experienced soldier. He also deployed all his elite troops on both wings, biting the Hasidic right wing, and then asked Cleitas to lead three soldiers. Hundreds of soldiers from Macedonia formed a diamond-shaped assault formation, like a moving forest of spear points, indestructibly tearing through the Hasidic left wing, which was obviously thin (the formation was lengthened due to the pursuit of Lepidus), and penetrated Pass.
On the river, two large armed boats, under the command of Sabo, also approached the river bank and continuously fired stone bullets at the Hashidi rear troops, driving them back to Yazda. Being able to command the entire army, the final surprise attack on the enemy coach can only end in hatred.
According to Lepidus, "From being a slave to now, I have proven that fate is in favor of me. I have a future as described in the Sibyl prophecy."
Ankit, who was sitting in the fortress, watched quietly. On the colonnade grass in the corner of the school grounds, dandelions were dancing together with the sunshine. Although the weather was getting hotter and hotter, he felt a slight chill. He did not negotiate a peace with the enemies of Rome. He has never regretted it. What he couldn't accept the most was why this guy named Lepidus would adopt such a decisive blockade method. "Maybe my wife and children won't survive this winter, and everyone will die. They will all be reduced to desolation in the highlands outside Cyrene.”
About the next day, the Roman siege camp had been built in the south of Yazda, and three more infantry brigades arrived in the north for reinforcements. The men directly under Lepidah had begun to set up camp. On the river, huge Roman armed ships lay across it, and even the fortress's ballistae couldn't do anything to them.
Lepidah sent an envoy for the third time, and it was still the young man named Sabokamus. "Our commander-in-chief made no secret. He believed that once the Yazda Fortress enters a life-and-death attack stage, it will be a threat to the outstanding soldiers of both sides." It was a cruel and huge sacrifice, and he reiterated that all the terms of the peace talks remain unchanged."
This time, David Anget personally poured a glass of wine for Sabo, "This is the first time I've had a drink in three days. Drinking wine once every three days is like gold." Saab did not refuse and drank it all.
Then Ankit sat down, took out the pen from the papyrus box, carefully wrote on a roll with his left hand, and then another roll, handed it to Sabo, "This is my order to the north of Yazda, Until all the fortresses in Cyrenaica are ordered to surrender, I can only do this." Then he paused, looked at Sabo and smiled, "But Yazda Fortress will not surrender, let Lepidus first. General, please take down this place."
"This time, the Commander-in-Chief has actually understood your decision, so he made such a request, that is, when attacking the city of Cyrenaica, he will use the maximum conditions to replace your wife and children and properly handle them. Protected and housed, they will continue to live well, the Commander-in-Chief guarantees on his honor.”
Ankit's eyes were slightly red, and then he said in a relaxed tone, "This way both of us have nothing to worry about. Let the eagles above Yazda witness the bravery of the soldiers of the two armies!" (To be continued...)
