Hearing the sharp and piercing cry of the big eagle, Qihada subconsciously raised his head and followed the sound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 They were several large sturdy eagles, their sturdy wings stretched out, and they could even clearly see the sharp hooks on their claws, as if they were ready to catch their prey on the ground at any time!

Zihada didn't think that these eagles were just wild animals that suddenly appeared in the wilderness. Because, what Zihada thought of was that the sudden appearance of these eagles must be related to the bronze medal he was holding at this time, and he didn't believe that things could be so coincidental.

You know, under normal circumstances, Hasara City only forms a caravan every two days, and after a long journey to reach the Ice and Snow State, only to transport some goods of large quantity but little value?

On the other hand, it is precisely because the value is not very large, so even if it is really lost, it will not be a heavy price, and it is suitable to become a bait to lure the king into the urn! Therefore, because of these eagles hovering overhead, Qihada is even more certain that the blade of Qihada is the object they use these baits to deal with, and they have fallen into the trap of the Roman legions. Must be evacuated immediately!

Realizing this potential crisis, Zihada did not delay for a moment, immediately regrouped his men and horses, and quickly evacuated from the place.

Sure enough, not long after they left the rift, they soon learned from the outsiders that the Roman legions were encircling them!

In fact, Zihada's guess was not wrong!

About five kilometers from the rift valley where the Roman caravans in the city of Hasala were destroyed, there was a thousand-strong Roman cavalry regiment.

An Eagle-Eyed soldier who is in charge of raising the Great Eagle is reporting to Giles the information that the Great Eagle has brought back. It turned out that the big eagles hovering above the head of Qihada, including the big eagles that returned to the side of the Roman cavalry regiment at this time, were the "eagle eyes" of the Roman legions!

"So, are you sure the Blade of Zihada has appeared?" said Gilles, a strange smile on his face, "as I expected."

"Yes, General. The soldier replied.

"No matter how cunning a fox is, he can't escape the hunter's bow and arrow. "Gilles secretly rejoiced in his heart!

This proves that his strategy is right! Using the caravan as bait was indeed able to lure out these rat streams lurking in the shadows, they had been hiding in the dark corners before, so that the Roman legions could not even find a place to start, and now, they finally succeeded in luring out the Zihada Blade! Giles saw hope -- the appearance of the Zihada Blade showed that his current sweeping operation was likely to have a happy ending.

Giles's eyes flashed with a light that was bound to win! He must seize this opportunity, and this time, there is no room for failure!

"Order the 1,000-man squad to throw guns and keep up. The remaining 4,000 Roman soldiers, divided into two teams, faced the blade of Hada and outflanked it. Tell the officers of the two teams that their task is to hold back the Qihada bandits, not to suppress them, and that they must not be allowed to escape!" ordered Giles.

Although the Roman legions did not have convenient communication tools such as walkie-talkies, they did not have their own set of convenient communication methods. The big eagles in the sky, these living "eagle eyes", are actually their correspondents. A simple piece of letterhead, through the eagle, was quickly transmitted to the armies of the Roman legion of Giles.

In addition, Gilles also sent soldiers, riding fast horses, to ask for reinforcements from the city of Hasara to encircle and suppress the Blade of Zihada.

Although the legion he led was already strong enough to confront the Blade of Zihada and even round them up, Giles still wanted to be on the safe side, so he asked for reinforcements from Hasara City. Giles has always been steady, and all aspects must be taken into account to not make mistakes, especially this time, no matter what, he must successfully encircle and suppress the Blade of Qihada.

Under Giles's methodical arrangement, a large net slowly enveloped Zihada and his troops.

Complex terrain with advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that there are many rugged paths, there are dangerous places like rift valleys, and there are also holes such as potholes and rocks that are convenient for hiding; and the disadvantage is that because this is not an open terrain everywhere, it is more or less a narrow passage with narrow exits, and it is often necessary to guard the rest of the place by dividing troops to guard a few exits, once it escapes into these passages, it is easy to enter and difficult to get out, and it is easy to be blocked.

The merchants of Hasara City have been walking in this area for hundreds of years, and trading has been a matter of generations, so they have long had their own unique set of relevant topographic maps for walking on these complex terrains. In the past, the suppression of bandits was unfavorable because the topographic map was in the hands of the government, and ordinary merchant groups did not have the strength to grasp it. Now that the topographic map is in Giles' hands, he can calmly arrange his army and guard the key exits.

However, Qihada and them do not have such favorable resources.

Therefore, it did not take long for Giles, who had no intention of calculating, to lead six thousand Roman soldiers and successfully blocked several important exits. And Qihada and them inevitably became in the bag.

It was already besieged by the enemy army, and this unfavorable fact, Qihada quickly discovered.

Zihada frowned, he must try to solve the predicament in front of him as soon as possible, otherwise, they would probably die. However, Zihada knew better that he needed to solve another problem before he could solve the big problem of being besieged by the enemy.

He looked up at the eagles that had been following them overhead, and said, "They must be the eyes of the Romans." ”

"They flew too high beyond the range of a sniper rifle. Wang Xue, the team leader beside Qihada, said. Wang Xue, also a full-fledged member of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team, has received special operations training from American officers.

"Yes, they're flying too high for us to fix for now. Zihada agrees. It is precisely because these flying eagles are different from ordinary animals that they can become the eyes of the enemy.

But if they don't get rid of these eyeliners first, their whereabouts will be revealed to the enemy anytime and anywhere.

After thinking about it, Zihada had a plan and said, "In this area, there is an underground cave that can be passed between the valley and the rift valley, and we will hide there for the time being to avoid these eagle eyes. ”

Hiding in the cave, you can avoid the Eagle Eye, even if the enemy can still know their general location because of the location of the Eagle Eye, but as long as you enter the cave, at least you can have a little more way out than on the ground, at least the enemy will not be able to detect their specific location, which is more advantageous for Qihada and them.

In addition, the narrow space is more conducive to guns and bows, which is conducive to defense. In order to deal with the approaching Roman legions, it can also occupy some geographical advantages. Only by defeating the Roman legions will there be gaps in the encirclement and suppression of the Roman legions, and Zihada and them will have a chance to break through the encirclement.

Zihada led his men and hid in a cave in a valley. There was water in the cave, and Zihada and they had brought a lot of food, so they decided to defend it for the time being.

The exit on the other side is at the other end of the valley. Zihada was worried that they would leave in a hurry and appear in the eagle's line of sight again, and the gains would outweigh the losses. According to the pre-made plan, defend first and play a round of Roman legions.

Zihada ordered his men to build some simple defenses at the entrance to the cave. For example, building a stone wall, building a stone fortress.

After a while, under the guidance of the eagle, Giles led a 4,000-strong Roman legion to surround the exit of the cave.

"Listen to the bandits inside, the benevolent General Gilles orders you to surrender at once. As long as you surrender, General Gilles will spare your lives. "Someone shouted at the entrance of the cave and persuaded Zihada to surrender.

Bang! In response, a gunshot rang out, and the Roman soldier at the entrance of the cave fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Giles ordered the archers to attack.

The clanging of arrows on stones.

Gilles was helpless to find that the bandits of the Zihada Blade were hiding behind rocks, and it was difficult for them to be harmed by bows and arrows.

"Shield swordsman, go to battle!" Gilles ordered the shield-wielding Roman soldiers to fight.

Bang bang bang...... Bang!

Zihada ordered the soldiers to shoot, and when he found that the opponent's iron shield could block the bullets, he simply ordered the soldiers to throw grenades. Three grenades stopped the attack of the Roman shield swordsmen, leaving behind a dozen corpses and shields.

At the entrance of the cave, Gilles rose from the ground, and thousands of Roman soldiers looked at each other, their eyes once again on their commander.

Giles immediately ordered his soldiers to go to the vicinity and cut down the branches and leaves, and he was to smoke the people in the cave.

Seeing that the Roman legions had not moved for more than ten minutes, Zihada ordered everyone not to guard the entrance of the cave.

"The large army all went to the depths of the cave, leaving more than 30 people in charge of the palace. You can retreat on your own if you see the situation. Zihada said.

"Yes, vice-team. "More than 30 people are all members of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team.

Zihada kept them because he trusted them more.

The cave inside has a large space capacity, and nine hundred people stay in it, which is not small at all. Today's Qihada is not worried at all. Because he has a back road.

"Xiaomi, Xiaohua, the two of you go out and scout the surrounding terrain. Now it's only when it's dark that we can avoid the eagle's surveillance. "Survey the route in advance, and march at night to avoid accidents." ”

Two of Zihada's excellent scouts went out through another cave and tried to avoid the eagles in the sky.

An hour later, the people in the cave smelled a puff of smoke.

"Bastard, these guys are going to smoke us, ahem!" Zihada was furious, he really didn't expect the Romans to do this.

"Captain, what are we going to do?" asked the team member next to him.

Qihada thought for a while and said, "There are still flying eagles in the sky outside, so we should not appear on the ground, so let's find some cloth and cover our mouths and noses with water." After a pause, Zihada said: "Inform the team members in front of them, let them use grenades, set up a few simple bomb traps, and then hide in." ”

With bomb traps in place, Zihada and they don't need to worry about the Roman legions suddenly attacking the cave after the smoke clears. Besides, there is another exit, and the Romans want to force out the Zihada with smoke, and I am afraid it will not work. On the contrary, he also helped Zihada to stall for time. Now, Zihada waited for it to get dark before breaking through the encirclement.

Giles stood outside the cave, listened carefully, and found no sound in the cave, and was puzzled.

"Remove the fireworks and send a soldier in immediately to see if the bandits are still there?" said Giles. He was worried that there were other exits to this cave. If that's the case, there's no need for Giles to toiled with smoke here.

At that moment, the firewood was removed, and five Roman soldiers, carefully covering their mouths and noses, entered the cave.

"General, no one was found inside. "Five Roman soldiers looked behind the bunker, and the enemy was long gone.

Giles was furious and immediately ordered a thousand Roman swordsmen to enter the cave in batches and pursue the enemy. He couldn't stand Zihada's fooling of him. Yes, Gilles did think in his heart that they were fooling him.

"Kill not one of them!" said Gilles, angrily.

"Yes, General. "The Roman soldiers began to enter the cave.

Boom!

There were several explosions, and the entire cave shook.

In the cave, Qi Hada looked at the top of the cave and couldn't help but curse a mantra, he misunderstood the power of the grenade, and even wanted to use the grenade to remind him.

If the power is a few points greater, it is difficult to guarantee that the cave will not collapse.

Zihada's face became ugly, he thought about it, and ordered more than twenty members of the team to check the passage and see if the Romans were chasing after him.

A quarter of an hour later, the team returned and reported to Zihada that the entrance to the cave had collapsed, and a pile of rubble blocked the entrance.

Hearing this, Qihada breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Keep watching!"

On the other hand, Gilles also had an ugly face, the first batch of soldiers he had just sent in, only about twenty returned, more than seventy, and were buried in the cave.

"There must be another exit to this cave. Immediately send someone to search the surrounding environment and find another exit. Giles shouted. He wouldn't believe that the bandits of the Blade of Zihada would be trapped in the cave.

As soon as Giles's order was given, the Roman soldiers immediately dispersed, rode horses, and searched the surroundings for enemy tracks.

One hour, two hours, three hours...... The Roman legions of Giles were like headless flies, searching everywhere...... As the sun set, 10,000 city defense troops from Hasara City also arrived. At the request of Gilles, they came to help Gilles suppress the bandits.

Gilles was in a better mood, but he was also under a lot more pressure. With so many people, if they can't destroy the Blade of Zihada, Gilles's reputation will inevitably be damaged, and he will lose a lot of points in front of the eldest prince. In Giles's eyes, the Grand Prince Octavian was the future emperor of the Roman Empire, and he must not behave too badly.

However, Giles probably didn't expect that the reason why Zihada didn't appear during the day was not because they were afraid, but if they appeared during the day, they would encounter the Roman legions, and the Roman legions had a numerical advantage, and there would be a big risk in breaking through, and Zihada didn't want to sacrifice his subordinates.
