Part 6a: Battle for Hatres

The Armenians were marching up to the city, staying clear of the arrow towers(Something vanilla RTW should have learned a long time) The Romans were marching up to the city, knowing that their tuesudo formation would keep them safe. The Armenians were impressed by this. Now the Romans were out of tuesudo to do something. They got some large stools, one or two metres long, and set them up, under the towers,then they got a flaming torch and burned down the towers. now they got the battering rams and knocked down the gates.

Part 6b: In the Gates!

Now that the army was by the gates, Manius II and Tiberus marched into the city, with their sons, Caesar and Nero. Caesar and Tiberus were leading the Roman and Armenian infantry and missle troops, Manius II and Nero were leading the Roman and Armenian calvary. They went in one unit at a time, getting into the city took 20 minutes.

"Now, Velites, go up and fire your javilens at the Eastern calvary there, only use two volleys!" cried Caesar.

The velites marched up to the calvary and fired at the calvary who had thirty men killed by a volley then they charged at the Velites. The Velites got out of there and then Triarii charged at the unsuspecting calvary, slaughtering them. The battle took 5 minutes.

"Ok, Armenian HAs, fire at those infantry over at that buliding!" cried Manius II.

A great amount of arrows fell down on the infantry. They were scared out of their wits at the sight of those arrows. Especially if they're Armenian arrows. At that time their arrows were envied by all nations so no wonder they were scared. About two hundred men were killed, out of their three hundred men. Their number were greatly reduced.


The next part will be done today or tomorrow.

Part 6c: Surrounded!

A unit of Triarii with Caesar as their officer went up a empty street when a unit of Nile spearmen charged at the Triarii.

"Counter-charge! Attack!" cried Caesar.

The men charged at each other with Triarii having a fitness benefit as the Nile spearmen were exhausted. Caesar was first to strike. He stuck his dagger in a officer's throat while he bashed another soldier unconscious with his shield. An arrow flying out of nowhere landed on a spearman who was going to strike Caesar. While Caesar and his troops were fighting with the unit of spearmen, a unit of Nile calvary charged at the back of Caesar's unit. They didn't notice the huge amount of arrows flying behind their backs. Splat! Almost all the men were dead so they ran away. The battle was won that day, and new units were being made for the army.

Next part today maybe

Part 7a: The riot


Manius II said to Tiberus,"The other day when I was on patrol I saw a HUGE rebel army, and they were marching our way! It seems that they avengeing the deaths of the soldiers we killed to get Hatres."

"Hmmmmmm, well, how many calvary were there?"asked Tiberus.

"A few but no HAs." answered Manius II.

"Ok then, it's settled, we shall send a army of Armenian horse archers, and remember to give them every single arrow we have. We need enough ammo to wear down the rebel army if not destroy it." said Tiberus.
"Great!" cried Manius who then told his troops znout this.

Part 7b: A battle for Hatres

All the horse archers were ready to destroy the army. They were each side of the army so they were trapped and some foot archer were brought using spare arrows.

"Ready..... Fire!!" cried the officers. A rain of arrows both flaming and normal were dropping on some calvary. The unit was decimated. A flaming boulder hurt a unit of archers killing fifty. Arrows blotted out the sun as they landed on the enemy. Everything was going well, but then disaster struck. The Armenian general fell off his horse and got killed. What will happen?
