Chapter 714: Jumping Out and Ambushing
Therefore, when night falls, the blade of Qihada can have a higher degree of freedom in its movements. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Compared to the daytime, Qihada and them, although they are not yet able to act unscrupulously, but they can already move, and they finally have a chance to find an opportunity to evacuate.
Qi Hada led more than 900 team members and walked out of the cave quietly. Before exiting the cave, Zihada had ordered them to avoid moving too much on the ground so as not to reveal their whereabouts. After all, they chose to operate at night just to avoid the "Eagle Eye" tracking, but it does not mean that if the movement is too loud and causes noise, it will not attract the attention of the enemy.
Zihada's only goal at the moment is to get out with his teammates.
But this is not an easy thing to do.
Soon, they reached the first pass, and at this time, they had about half an hour's walk from the cave.
"Captain, we have found an enemy camp ahead, and they are holding the only passage in the canyon. Investigators reported to Zihada.
Hearing this, Qihada frowned. As the scouts said, what the enemy is holding is the only way out of the canyon, which means that this is a difficult problem that they cannot but face, and it is also a pass that must be broken.
But no matter how difficult it is, they must break through this dangerous hurdle, otherwise, they may only be trapped and encircled.
Therefore, Zihada settled down, quickly picked up the binoculars, and looked towards the place where the enemy army was.
After observing for a while, Zihada found that the situation was very bad for their Qihada Blade, the enemy's defense was surprisingly tight, not only swordsmen, pikemen, and archers, each type of attack force, there were enough people to support it, so it was easy for Zihada to find out where the enemy was, because they had laid down layers of three-stage defense.
"It should be a team of thousands!" Zihada said as he put down the telescope again. At this time, he knew in his heart that they would definitely have to spend some time here, after all, the enemy army's defenses were strong enough.
However, Qihada is really a person who is stronger and stronger, even if the enemy is besieged and puts on a posture of waiting to capture them, if it is someone else, it may feel very tricky, but not much, Qihada is not a person who is willing to give in, and he still has the belief in his heart that he must evacuate safely with the more than 900 team members behind him, at this moment, his fighting spirit is stimulated, and his mind is greater.
In particular, at this time, Zihada recalled the scene when they were hiding in the cave before.
At that time, even if they were not sure where they were, the enemy still took a ruthless attack, smoking smoke into the cave, waiting for the brother of the Blade of Qihada, who was choked by the smoke and had to flee out, and captured the Blade of Qihada.
If it weren't for their fate, there was a way back in the cave at that time, and it is conceivable that the Qihada Blade would have had only a dead end at that time. In this case, if you don't take revenge, you will only not be able to let go of this breath in your heart.
"Annihilation!" said Zihada's eyes with a strange edge.
After hearing the order given by Zihada, the 100 submachine gunners of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team were in front, and the remaining 800 crossbowmen were behind.
After all the team members were ready, Qihada saw the opportunity and gave an order: "Action!"
As soon as Qihada's words fell, I saw a hundred submachine gunners in front of him, one for each person, and first launched a round of grenade attacks, blowing up the enemy's camp.
Boom!boom...... In this quiet night, the sudden sound of a grenade explosion is particularly shocking, making people feel frightened and nervous!
Naturally, the camp of the Romans could not escape this catastrophe, and they were suddenly shaken, and the Roman soldiers who were originally neatly defended were suddenly disrupted, and many Roman soldiers originally thought that they could relax their nerves a little while the night was thick, so as to relieve the high pressure of the tense nerves during the day, but who would have thought that at this time, right around them, there was a mess!
The grenade attack was successful in the first round, and almost none of the Roman soldiers defending the pass survived. And the Roman soldiers of the large battalion, finally recovered from this powerful fright, and just remembered to fight back, but unexpectedly, the disaster did not go alone, followed by a round of submachine gun gunfire, followed by only faintly saw the light and shadow of countless bullets, shooting towards the Roman soldiers, and then, before a large number of Roman soldiers could say a word, they fell down.
At this time, the chaos caused by Zihada and their Roman camp was even greater.
But the attack, which made the Roman soldiers even more breathless, came even more urgently. The eight-hundred-meter crossbowman rushed to the front and launched another round of seamless attacks, almost every Roman soldier who was still in a hurry to move made up for an arrow.
In this way, Qihada and their troops successfully broke through the enemy pass in one fell swoop.
Zihada glanced at the ruined Roman barracks and the corpses all over the ground, and ordered, "Speed up and leave quickly." ā
In this breakthrough, no one in Zihada's ranks died, only seven soldiers were wounded by arrows. The wounded soldier was able to continue on his road after a simple bandage.
Then, along the way, Zihada and the others found two more small Roman patrols and annihilated them.
When Gilles got the news, he was a little late. Each time, he arrived with his soldiers and saw the corpses of Roman soldiers. This annoyed Gilles very much. Zihada's performance was far beyond Giles's imagination.
However, the night provided the best cover for the Qihada and them, and the eagles in the sky could not detect the people walking on the ground, and could not provide the most effective reconnaissance.
In order to avoid too many casualties among the Roman soldiers, Gilles had to follow the trail of Zihada while gathering his soldiers and warning the Roman patrols who were still patrolling around him.
It was only at dawn the next day that it finally stopped.
Gilles sent the Flying Eagle to reconnoiter in the air, and lost the trace of Zihada and them.
But it's not over yet.
Zihada led his troops back to the Hasara area, not for others to encircle and suppress, they also had their own strategic goals - to deplete part of the war potential of the Roman legions, delay the time for the Roman legions to join the Western Regions Loulan Campaign, and give the Xinghua army enough time to solve the alliance of the countries.
A day later, less than ten kilometers from the city of Hasala, there was a valley with a bend below it. Zihada and his troops did not evacuate the Hasara area, but stayed for the time being closer to the city of Hasala.
"This is the only way for the Roman legions to return to the city of Hasara, and we have set up an ambush here to catch them by surprise. "As soon as Zihada jumped out of the encirclement, he was already thinking of revenge on the Giles Legion.
Zihada led his troops and set up an ambush in the valley to ambush the Giles army. For this ambush, Zihada was very well prepared, and nine hundred men hid in the valley and never descended the mountain.
The valley, as long as anyone appears, will be controlled by them and will not be allowed to go down.
It wasn't until the third day that Zihada's scouts found out about the return of the Giles legion to the city. It turned out that Gilles was unwilling to let Qihada and them escape, and patrolled the valley area for two more days before he had to give up and return to the city.
Gilles rode his horse and walked in the legion with a dejected expression. More than 6,000 soldiers of the legion, plus 20,000 guards of Hasara City, were killed by the other side and more than 1,000 soldiers were killed. No matter what Giles thinks, his mood is not smooth. If it weren't for General Lucius's urging, Giles would have continued to find a way to find the Zihada Blade.
However, the order of General Lucius was very clear. The allied forces of the vassal states of the Roman Empire have entered the Western Regions, and the Roman legions cannot stay on the battlefield for a long time. Moreover, this time Octavian led the army, and it was the first time Octavian led the army to fight. If Octavian behaved too poorly, the Presbyterians of the Roman Empire might lose faith in him. This is something that General Lucius could not accept, and General Lucius's order was a little impersonal, and Giles could not resist.
Humiliated, Gilles led his army on the way back.
"What kind of valley is this?" asked Giles, pointing to a valley. This valley is the valley where Zihada and their ambush are.
"Nameless Valley, the locals generally call it Stone Mountain or Yellow Leaf Mountain. In autumn, a tree on the mountain grows yellow leaves, and from a distance, it looks like a small yellow valley. General Nisky, the commander of the city guard in the city of Hasala, replied. He was the commander of the two Hashara City Guards.
Giles nodded and said, "General Niski is very knowledgeable, and this kind of hill is well understood. "Although the city guards have to listen to Gilles's command, Niski's status is no lower than his, and Gilles must communicate on an equal footing.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Niski said modestly.
"This valley, located on the eastern part of Hasara City, is important. If an army were to camp in the valley, it would be like a sharp knife in the heart of the city of Hasara. The Far Eastern trade of the city of Hasara must have suffered huge losses. Giles said.
Niski laughed and said, "Except for our Roman Empire's legions, who dares to set up camp here! The Roman legions are invincible!"
When Gilles heard this, he also smiled slightly, he was just showing off his eloquence and his tactical level. In fact, he did not think that there would be armies of other countries that would dare to occupy the valley.
Giles did not expect that Zihada they not only occupied the valley, but were also ready to ambush them on the valley.
Many things are accidents and inevitable factors. In the first battle of Zihada's show of strength to the Roman Empire, he chose the Gilles legion, which was accidental and inevitable.
The Gilles Legion and the Guards of Hasara City walked into the path under the valley and slowly advanced towards Hasara City. Because they were about to arrive in the city of Hasara, the march of the Giles army and the city guard of Hashara was a little lax. From top to bottom, no one thought that an army would dare to ambush a Roman legion in such a close proximity to the city of Hasara......
"Captain, the enemy is coming!" the scout reported to Zihada.
Zihada replied: Got it. He lay down in the trenches.
At this time, there were two trenches across the valley, facing the road below the valley.
"Everyone is in place, the enemy army is coming, don't be afraid!" The big battle is coming, and Qihada sends an order to calm and cheer up the mood of his subordinates.
Twenty-five thousand men is not a small number.
Zihada lay on his stomach in the valley, staring through his binoculars at the slowly advancing Roman army, his heart was quiet. He was very satisfied with the goal this time. The army was not only numerous, but also the regular Roman army. Moreover, this time the target is still the army that had encircled and suppressed Qihada before. As long as Qihada and them wipe out this army, they will definitely gain a lot. For this reason, Zihada took out their weapons and ammunition storage, and told the soldiers not to save ammunition, but to destroy the enemy army in one fell swoop.
The soldiers in the first platoon of the trench are members of the Mountain Eagles directly under Zihada, and their main weapons are submachine guns and grenades, while the soldiers in the second platoon of the trench are members of the Zihada Blade organized by Zihada himself, and their main weapons are bows and swords.
Soon the Gilles corps entered the range of Zihada their firing range.
"Fire!!" Zihada ordered.
Bang! Bang!
At the bottom of the valley, the Roman soldiers were struck and fell to the ground.
The Gilles regiment was attacked, and when Gilles found Zihada and they were in the valley, he immediately ordered the soldiers, lying down, looking for cover and hiding.
"General, it's the Blade of Zihada. Niski exclaimed.
"Too bold!" said Gilles angrily, "they dare to take the initiative to attack the Roman legions, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead!"
Giles said. Both he and Niski dismounted and hid behind a rock.
"Archers and spearmen, let them attack up the valley. Giles said.
The archers and slingers received orders from Giles to come out at once, bend their bows or throw their spears, and attack the Zihada troops in the valley.
However, the results were not satisfactory. The range of the archer's bow is insufficient, and the spearman's throw is enough, but the risk is too great. Thousands of spear-throwers chose to throw guns. At the end of the first round of gun throwing, more than 300 people fell to the ground.
Giles frowned, looking at the sparsely inserted throwing spears on the valley, and was very unhappy in his heart. The distance is sufficient, but it still does not pose any threat to the enemy. Otherwise, the enemy's gunfire would have stopped long ago. Nowadays, the enemy's gunfire is incessant, and it must be that the enemy has not suffered any heavy losses.
"The shield bearers attack in front, and the archers are in the back, responsible for the damage output. Giles said. The shield of the Roman soldiers was not a wooden shield, but a bronze shield. The bullets of the Blade of Zihada cannot penetrate. This is something that Gilles verified in the cave. As for the danger of the grenades of the Zihada Blade, Giles ignored them. In his heart, he didn't think that the Zihada Blade would have enough grenades to kill the entire Gilles Legion, as well as the city guards. (To be continued.) )
