Even for nothing else, in order to protect Hatra from being captured by others such as Rome in the future, he and Hatra must become stronger.

"I don't know what we, Hatra, can do for the rebels?" After asking this sentence, the caliph basically accepted the benefit by tacit consent, and reciprocated it in return.

As an aristocrat, I understand this truth better.

Alexander Qin cannot say this for no reason.

Xu Ding said: "I hope to use Hatra as a link to form a friendship with Anxi in the future. In the future, our army will be in the north, and you will be in the south to deal with the Roman Empire and form an alliance against our greatest enemy."

Union, if it was before the caliph scoffed.

What are the qualifications of the rebels in Rome, but I dare not think so now, the rebel army is still very strong.

With a population of [-], this is a force to be reckoned with.

Dealing with the Romans from the south to the north doesn't seem to count.

So the caliph asked simply: "General Qin, I believe that we will have the opportunity to cooperate, and I also hope that our friendship will last forever. I will explain everything to the empire."

In the afternoon, the Tenth Army of the Roman Standing Army appeared outside Hatra.

Seeing the city of Hatra, the head of the Tenth Army paid attention to it silently for a long time, and then waved his hand and said, "Camp!"

The Tenth Legion was not afraid of the Parthians coming out of the city to attack, and set up camp like no one else was around.

The Caliph family is good at defending the city, but not good at attacking. If they dare to go out of the city, the Tenth Army will give them a look.

Xu Ding didn't go out of the city to attack the Tenth Army in boredom, and there was a city guard who was going to fight.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the No.11 Army and two affiliated armies including Armenia arrived.

The two fully staffed joint legions of the Roman army gathered a total of about [-] horses.

The number of people does not sound like a lot.

After all, the rebel army also has [-] horses, but the gap between the two is not a star and a half.

The two combined legions have two standing legions of the Roman Empire. They have very strong combat effectiveness and carry the most sophisticated weapons.

Soon the Roman side sent envoys to ask Hatra to hand over the rebel army, otherwise they would threaten to attack the city.

Caliph decisively refused.

"Your Excellency the Caliph, you really want to be an enemy of our Rome. You will drag the Parthian Empire into the quagmire of war. You should think about it." The messenger said bluntly.

The Caliph snorted coldly: "You and I are enemies in the first place. Now that you are invading our country, you should be the ones who want to drag you into the quagmire of war. I heard that the emperor of your country is still suppressing the rebels in the west. Your army is here to invade at this time." Our country, did not pick the right time."

"Repeat, we are not invading your country, we are just here to pursue a group of rebels, please hand over the rebels in your city, take the rebel Alexander Qin, we will withdraw our troops immediately, otherwise we will wipe out the banditry in the west, and we will break through the rest of the cities. "The messenger still threatened arrogantly.

The caliph's face was frosty, he slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "Come here, kill him, throw his head out of the city, and tell the Romans that we don't have any rebels in Hatra, and we have never seen any rebels nearby. Only the invading enemy was seen."

"You..." The envoy was shocked, and just as he was about to speak, he was knocked unconscious by the guards in the hall and dragged him down. Then his head was chopped off and thrown out of the city.

The Romans outside the city were very angry when they saw this person.

The commanders of the Tenth Legion and the No.11 Legion immediately made the same decision and immediately attacked the city.

The two armies did not have a subordinate relationship, and their purpose was only to encircle and destroy the rebel army. After chasing into the Parthian country, it was regarded as a kind of ultra vires.

In addition, without logistical support, it is impossible to besiege the city here for a long time.

Therefore, we must fight quickly, fight when you can, and leave if you can't.

In this way, at any rate, it can be explained to the city of Rome.

"General Caliph, you know best how to guard Hatra. Now the northern city is handed over to you. I believe you will not let us down." Xu Ding saw that the Romans were about to attack, so he handed over the control of the northern city to Caliph.

The caliph said: "Don't worry, General Qin, our caliph family has never let Hatra down, let alone the empire, but if necessary, I hope to get the support of the rebel army at that time, with more people and more strength, it will be easier to fight like this." easy."

It’s okay to take over the North City, you can’t let us fight the Romans and watch the tigers fight to preserve our strength.

You are the ones who brought the trouble, so kindness cannot be overstated.

Xu Ding smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will send someone to learn from General Caliph. If we need to take action, we will not be stingy."

After speaking, Xu Ding compared goods with Meng Yu and said: "You all have taken care of infantry, learn from General Caliph, in the future we will have a big city, and we need to attack and defend it. This is a good opportunity, don't miss it .”

Meng Yu naturally answered yes when comparing goods.

Then the Roman army began to attack, and there were a lot of siege equipment, including trebuchets. It can be seen that the purpose of chasing them was not simple.

However, the two standing legions did not move, but first went to a subsidiary legion to attack Hatra.

The stone bullets smashed in fiercely, and it was the first time that Meng Yu, who was in the city, felt what it was like to be bombarded with stone bullets.

But Khalifa and others have seen it, so they are not surprised.

He commanded his subordinates to counterattack and evade in an orderly manner.

Thus began an offensive and defensive battle.

Xu Ding was not at the north gate, but at the south gate.

The south gate is what he needs to focus on prevention and control. If the caliphate is too famous and Hatra is accidentally captured by the Romans, with the south gate in hand, everything will be easy to operate.

Just over an hour later, Meng Yu and the shoppers all came to spread the word that the Romans had stopped attacking the city.

"Didn't fight so soon?" He stopped attacking after half a day. Xu Ding didn't watch at the north gate and didn't know the reason, so he brought his troops to the north gate.

When the Caliph saw Xu Ding, he laughed heartily and said, "General Qin, the Romans have been repulsed. If there is no accident, they will have to withdraw their troops tomorrow."

"Oh! Why is General Caliph so sure?" Xu Ding glanced outside the city. The Romans attacked the city with all their might. There were not many casualties, and the corpses were piled up layer by layer.

The Caliph smiled triumphantly: "General Qin didn't know something. The Romans used two joint legions, but they didn't send enough commanders, so they couldn't attack Hatra for a long time. Once they failed to attack the city, they would not will continue.

They can lose the affiliated legion, but they can't lose the standing legion. If the two legion commanders don't want to be responsible, they must retreat. You can see that after they retreated, the troops made some adjustments. From our experience, they This is a sign of getting ready to retreat. "

Having dealt with the Romans for a long time, Hatra has rich experience, so the Caliph is more confident.

Meng Yu then whispered to Xu Ding about the battle situation just now, saying that the Romans only used two subsidiary legions to attack one after the other, and the two standing legions just made a feint and sprinted, and finally withdrew back.

The Caliph's command counterattack did quite well, and it would be difficult for them to attack head-on.

Learning to defend the city is also discovering the opponent's flaws. In case of a war in the Parthian Empire one day, you have to fight Hatra?

Therefore, both Shop Bi and Meng Yu had looked at it seriously just now, and had a lot of thoughts in their minds.
