Augustus Under the Horseshoe

The Asia Minor theater was instantly divided into two battlefields. To the west, six field regiments that landed in Myra, plus the second Trajan's regiment from the Egyptian battlefield, which was long overdue, and seven Roman regiments close to full. , Under the leadership of Peturabo, is like a fortress of flesh and blood, blocking the horseshoes of the King of Kings.

On the other hand, Painhurs’s 20,000 cavalrymen were chasing the demon-born cavalry who had moved in strategically, trying to flank this mixed elite cavalry with the 17th Word-Wearer Legion that the war commander said.

Painhurs was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with these elite Teflin and Orcs-he came to the empire to make money, to fish for technology, magic, and to learn the knowledge of civilized society, not for him. Augustus Du, and an empire that has nothing to do with him, shed his blood.

If you want to fight, at least you have to wait for the legendary reinforcements to appear in front of you.

On the other hand, the seven legions also showed their traditional art as Roman soldiers-building camps. Every legionnaire is an elite soldier and an excellent craftsman.

These temporary camps are used to accommodate and protect the soldiers, as well as their equipment and heavy-duty military towns when soldiers are not fighting or marching. According to the stipulations engraved on the stone slabs, a major field army must retreat to a properly constructed camp every day.

For this reason, every corps has trucks and escorts responsible for the transportation of luggage, and even some dimensional bags, which carry the materials needed for the construction of the camp. Some centurions were transformed into chief engineers. Command soldiers, slaves, slaves, and start work.

With tens of thousands of skilled laborers and intensive work, the seven legions, quickly relying on the mountains in the north and the Mediterranean in the south, built seven small but well-equipped defensive camps on the main roads of Asia Minor. . And with layers of defenses and passages, the seven interlocking legion camps were connected together.

They are very convinced that the huge army of the King of Kings must pass this road to get closer to the West. There is no other built gravel road nearby, which can accommodate a large food transport team and move forward.

What if the gods of the gods choose to bypass themselves and try to obtain food from the plunder?

Peturabo, has long ordered his soldiers to implement a policy of stiffening walls and clearing the country to all surrounding villages, moving all people to nearby cities, fortresses, and grazing farms to the ground. Young men and women are directly captured as laborers in military camps.

The huge army of Sassanid Persian will lose all fighting power in starvation because of lack of supplies. What's more, the food consumption of war horses is three times that of humans.

The soldiers first unloaded a large amount of supplies from the horse-drawn carriages and huge galleys, dug a deep pit on the innermost side of the line of defense, and put wooden stakes up to two meters into it. It was buried firmly, and at an amazing speed, one after another strong wooden walls were built.

Immediately afterwards, the Legionnaires dug a trench about one meter deep and about two meters wide on the outside of the wall. On the outside of the trench, they used the extremely stable triangular structure with spears and wooden sticks to build a trench. Rejection of defense. Finally, some Legionnaires took out a handful of iron tribulus and sprinkled it evenly on the outside of Juma.

Inside the wooden wall, the soldiers also built countless watch towers and shooting platforms with bunkers, tall elven shooters, and robed wizards stationed in them, vigilantly looking to the east, above the calm sea. A huge galley, carrying the scorpion crossbows and catapults of the seven legions, firmly occupy the dominance of the sea. Once a war breaks out, the Sassanian Persian army will be hit by the camp and the sea.

Such a chain of interlocking, heavily-walled temporary fortresses, and seven legions, were successfully built in less than a day. When the King of Kings reassembled his army, he moved westward, looking at the fortress that was like a fishbone, lying in their throats, and couldn't help being stunned.
