Roman Slave Owner

After fleeing from the Taurus Mountains, Tigranis never forgot the humiliation.

The Roman army pursued day and night, and one after another army that came to serve the king was defeated by them.

Tigranis was like a frightened bird, he continued to lead the troops to flee with a slight disturbance, originally planning to flee to the royal city.

But after receiving the news that Li Wei's army was going to the royal city, he had to flee to a small city far away from the royal city.

At the same time, they sent people around to recruit soldiers, not only recruiting mercenaries from neighboring countries, but also recruiting soldiers from their own countries. Some tribes robbed by Li Wei had nowhere to go and could only serve as soldiers for Tigranis.

In addition, a large number of barbarians came to join forces, and his army swelled like a balloon, and soon reached 300,000 people, which made Tigranis full of confidence.

The fear of Li Wei was also swept away. He believed that with such a huge army, he could definitely defeat Li Wei's army easily.

"Great King of Kings, I heard that the Romans dared to offend you. I specially brought the warriors of the tribe, and traveled thousands of miles, bypassing Babylon, and came by sea."

An Arab sheikh said respectfully.

"I knew that you Arabs are my best friends. As long as I defeat Levi, I will give you a lot of land."

Tigranis said.

"That's great, you are the most generous king in the world."

The Arab sheikh said happily.

Tigranis led them into the royal city. Alexander watched all this with a gloomy face. He was ordered by Mithridates to lead part of the army to support Tigranis.

Tigranis has been dazzled by the huge military power. At the beginning, he was able to listen to his persuasion and try to avoid Li Wei's edge, but now he has shown his intention to take the initiative to fight him from time to time.

You don't even look at those barbarians. Most of them don't even have a set of armor. They only have a knife or a sword, and some of them are hung with various big gold chains.

This kind of army reminded him of the Bendu army that fought against Sura back then. Is this completely a replica of the original Bendu army?

Sometimes the number of people really can't decide everything!

He felt that he should write a letter to Mithridates, and perhaps he should not come so soon to join Tigranis.

On this day, Tigranis held a banquet in honor of the chiefs and kings.

All kinds of chiefs and kings gathered together, drinking in big bowls and eating meat in large pieces. It was very lively.

Tigranis' face was also flushed, as if he had won a big victory.

"Your Majesty, our army currently has 270,000 infantry and 55,000 cavalry. Who can resist such a force? As soon as the army arrives, the Romans may be scared to surrender."

A chief of the Scythian tribe held a large piece of ribs in his hand, his beard was still stained with wine, and he smiled boldly.

"That's right. The Romans have always called us barbarians. They think they are something. Today I will let him know how powerful we are."

An Arab sheikh said bitterly.

Tigranis nodded again and again. With an army of 330,000 in hand, he felt that there was no country he could not conquer.

What's more, the Romans are attacking his royal city, which makes him unable to sit still.

If the king city is conquered, it will be a major event that shakes the foundation of the country, so he is more and more inclined to fight Li Wei.

"Your Majesty, many soldiers in our army have only been in the army for a month. They don't have complete armor and have not undergone systematic training. Many soldiers can't even hear orders clearly, and they don't understand the language. I think it should take a while to make the army more equipped. If you have more armor, you will fight Li Wei again."

At this moment Alexander stood up and said.

"Bah, you coward. I was so frightened after being defeated by Li Wei. My subordinates are all warriors selected from a hundred. One of them will fight at least ten Romans. If those Romans really dare to come, I must call They come and go."

At this time, a barbarian chief said disdainfully.

"That's right, those Pontus people have long been scared out of their wits by the Romans!"

"A group of birds that are scared out of their eggs.

"

"..."

All kinds of obscenities came out of the mouths of those barbarian chiefs. Although he couldn't understand some of the words, he knew they were not good words just by looking at their eyes.

Alexander was so angry by them, what do these barbarians know, they are simply a bunch of reckless men.

"Okay, don't talk about it, everyone, Alexander is also kind."

Tigranis said that after all, Alexander represented Mithrada, and he still had to give him some face.

"And Li Wei is so bold that he dared to attack my royal city. We will set off with a large army the day after tomorrow and march into the royal city."

Tigranis said proudly.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Fuck those little Romans."

"..."

Looking at the high-spirited chiefs and kings, Alexander shook his head slightly.

He had no confidence in this battle, and he decided to write a letter to Mithridates, advising him that it would be better not to join them.

Ataksata, the royal city of Armenia, is located on the banks of the Arax River. This is a famous fortress.

After Syria was defeated by Rome, Hannibal fled to Armenia. He not only made various proposals to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but also helped design this fortress.

The entire fortress is surrounded by curved rivers on two sides, so it only needs to defend two walls.

After a long period of preparation, the Roman army began to attack the city.

The trebuchets were throwing huge stones into the air, and then fell heavily on the royal city. A large number of stone fragments kept falling, and the entire city wall looked crumbling.

The Armenian soldiers on the city wall watched all this in horror, how could the Romans have such terrifying trebuchets.

At this time, Ali Amnis and many men who refused to hand in their food were gathered by the Roman army. These days their life was extremely hard. The Romans only gave them a small piece of black bread and a small amount of water every day. Make these people dizzy with hunger.

For a little food, there were countless fights among them.

Ali Amnis was lucky, because he had to help the Roman army graze cattle and sheep. At this time, he could secretly drink a little goat's milk and milk. Even so, he often felt hungry.

At this time, some Roman soldiers took out buckets of black bread and clear water. Seeing these, almost all the Arabs and Armenians had green eyes and gurgling stomachs. These things are so cute. If it weren't for the daggers in the hands of the Romans, they would have rushed to fight for the food.

"Everyone, today will be the day when the city of Ataxata will be broken. We need to select a group of warriors from among you, and the first group will attack after the city is broken. If any of you want to participate, you can get two black pieces Bread and plenty of water."

A military tribune spoke to them.
