The eagles in the sky are constantly chirping. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wu Zhendong was ordered to carry out a mission in this area, in fact, it was not a long time, at this time, the flying eagle hovering overhead, he had never encountered it since he came to this place, and even in the Xinghua Empire before.

So, if the appearance of this kind of flying eagle is not so natural, this naturally proves something. It's just that Wu Zhendong's thoughts came and went, and after all, he still felt that the flying eagle in the sky appeared strangely, which made him always feel as if something was wrong.

However, no matter how he guessed, Wu Zhendong still didn't expect that these flying eagles would be the reconnaissance methods of the Romans.

In fact, although Wu Zhendong put up a sentry on the valley, in order to keep a low profile, they did not hang a flag and build a temporary military camp, if you don't pay special attention, you basically won't find a hidden military point here, but if you look down from the sky, because the surrounding environment is basically relatively desolate, it is easy to see the small tents they live in, and their location is exposed.

What's more, the aerial scouts of the Roman Empire were even more of a large eagle than ordinary falcons. Not only do they fly high, but they also have exceptionally good sight capabilities, and even at an altitude of 10,000 meters, they can easily find prey on the ground. Even a small snake less than a meter long can easily find it as it snaits its way through the ground. This kind of flying eagle has innate superiority in ability, and after special training by military experts of the Roman Empire, it has become an extremely excellent reconnaissance species. However, this is also a flying eagle peculiar to the Roman Empire.

These flying eagles spotted Wu Zhendong and their location, and had been hovering high above their heads. At the bottom of the valley, about a kilometer away from these eagles, an army of Roman scouts and knights, numbering about two or three hundred, was temporarily stationed here as a forward reconnaissance army, ready to move at any time.

"My lord, they found that in the three valleys, there are enemies. However, their number is not large, and the total number should be less than thirty. "In this army of scout knights, there was a Roman soldier who was responsible for the breeding and use of these "scout eagles", and they had been with these eagles day and night, and they were able to discern the signals implicit in the eagles' calls according to their calls. The Roman soldier, after carefully discerning the eagle's signal, immediately reported it to the Roman officer.

"It seems that this is the sentry of the Xinghua Army. If it were the sentinels of the coalition of nations, they would not hide in the mountains. Now that we were sure that there were enemy sentinels ahead, we immediately prepared for battle. The soldiers obeyed, and according to the order of the great prince, we had two tasks to complete this time. First, the Great Prince ordered us to clear the obstacles that stood in our way, and second, we had to find the allied forces of the nations and join them. According to the order, we must search the valley from valley to valley, and once we find traces of the enemy, we must sweep them away with all our strength before the arrival of the great prince's army. The Roman officer said.

After a while, it gradually darkened.

On a valley, a group of Xinghua Army soldiers are lighting a bonfire and cooking rice soup.

The Xinghua Army soldiers camping outside have always had a simple diet, basically only a little thin rice soup and a packet of compressed biscuits to fill their stomachs. After all, when the army is on the march, everything is simple and easy to move. Of course, whenever they have the opportunity to replenish supplies, sometimes they will choose to hunt or add some food to the rice soup.

However, this Xinghua soldier, because he was responsible for the task of sentry, must always ensure that he is on the post, must not be ordered, and cannot leave the valley at will, so they did not leave their posts without permission, leaving the sentry to hunt to fill their stomachs, but only to satisfy their hunger with rice soup and compressed biscuits.

Soon, the rice soup was steaming, and the hot temperature spread with a faint fragrance, and the rice soup was ready.

The thirty soldiers, who had temporarily stopped watching, waited in a neat line, starting with the soldiers, each of whom was assigned a bowl of rice soup. Until all the soldiers are satisfied, the squad leader lasts.

This is the tradition of the Xinghua Army, and only when the soldiers are well fed can it be the turn of the officers. In times of war, soldiers have the duty to protect their officers, and in peacetime military tasks, officers also have the responsibility to feed their soldiers.

"Don't you think it's strangely quiet tonight, and there's not even a little insect chirping around, which is unusual? The captain of the Xinghua team took a sip of the rice soup in the bowl, and then looked around at the surrounding environment, his brows furrowed, he was both surprised and a little uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but say to the soldiers around him.

But he didn't think about it, as soon as the words fell, the soldiers beside the squad leader had not responded to his question, and the squad leader himself suddenly had something unusual! Even the soldier who was the right to listen was taken aback by the squad leader.

I saw that the look on the face of the squad leader suddenly became very frightened! He hurriedly put down the rice soup regardless of the fact that he would spill it, almost bounced up from where he was sitting, and said to everyone: "Something is wrong, how can there be no insect chirping!"

The little soldier also realized on the spot that something was wrong! It seemed to mean that something had happened in the shadows!

At this time, the surrounding Xinghua Army soldiers, who had been relaxing from the stalking post for a while, also quickly returned to their alert, and all the soldiers immediately picked up their bows and crossbows in training, aimed at the dark valley, and were ready to fire at any time.

According to the regulations of the Xinghua Army on the strict control of firearms, small-scale sentinels were mainly armed with bows and crossbows, and a small number of pistols. Until the situation is unknown, they will not use a small number of pistols right away for the time being.

Everyone paid close attention to the darkness of the valley below, and suddenly, several soldiers, picking up flashlights, illuminated the situation below.

I saw that there was a group of people in the darkness.

Woohoo......

"Crossbow bolts!"

"Shoot back!"

Once you see the situation, all attacks are almost imminent. The soldiers fired crossbow bolts in groups and arrows at the unknown source of the attack ahead, and were trained to counterattack.

At the same time, after giving the order to attack, the squad leader immediately seized the time, immediately picked up the walkie-talkie on his waist and called his superiors.

"Zero, zero, we're under attack, Romans!" the squad leader kept calling.

At this time, a voice also came from the walkie-talkie: "Retreat, retreat immediately!"

"I'm afraid not, we're surrounded. The squad leader replied quickly as he stared at the situation in front of him with a serious eye on the situation.

"Hold on, we'll come to your back. The voice over the intercom said.

"I will handle the walkie-talkie in advance in accordance with the confidentiality regulations. The team leader said.

"Understood, take care, try to stay alive!" the voice over the intercom began to tremble a little.

According to the confidentiality regulations, the squad leader was immediately ready to destroy the walkie-talkie on the spot, he quickly picked up a grenade and tied the grenade to the walkie-talkie.

"Brothers, our mission is accomplished. Now, don't throw the grenades on your waists, and blow them up. Then, we break through and can run a few, then run a few. ”

Boom Boom Boom ......

After about a quarter of an hour, the sound of fighting in the small valley gradually stopped. This valley seems to be slowly returning to the dead silence that did not even sound insects.

Just now, on another valley facing each other, faintly listening to the sound of explosions in the distance, Wu Zhendong silently put down the walkie-talkie. He knew that his subordinates, who had a squad, were sacrificed.

"The enemy is coming, send a telegram to headquarters. Wu Zhendong walked into the tent and said to the only dispatcher.

"Yes, sir. "The dispatcher immediately sent the news of the arrival of the enemy to the Hualou base.

Wu Zhendong stepped out of the tent and looked at the valley again.

As the Xinghua Empire continues to grow, the stronger the country becomes, what is needed is the continuous enterprising spirit of warriors to win it, rather than being chared by other countries. Therefore, every citizen and citizen of Xinghua knows that what kind of life their family members will get in the future depends on their struggles. Wu Zhendong had this idea, and he was determined that after this battle, he would apply to the empire to participate in officer training and gain greater authority. Wu Zhendong's idea of holding power was not for peace, but for war. He felt that he could do more and try to reduce his own casualties in the war. This is not to say that Wu Zhendong is not satisfied with the arrangement of his superiors and thinks that his boss is wrong, but that he wants to take more responsibility.

On a path under the valley, the officers of the Roman scout knights looked gloomy. Two hundred Roman soldiers, lurking and raiding, even made a mistake and were discovered by the enemy. What made him even more unhappy was that two hundred Roman soldiers were killed by a group of about thirty people. This result made the Roman officers feel very ashamed.

"You are elite soldiers, and I am so disappointed that you still have such a mistake. Hopefully, next valley, there will be no more such mistakes. The Roman officer said.

These Roman scout knights actually wanted to pull out the Xinghua sentinels in three small valleys overnight. They marched at night, seemingly unaffected, and their horses walked freely.

If Wu Zhendong hadn't had a wireless walkie-talkie, maybe they would have been able to get their hands on it a long time ago.

Unfortunately, when these Roman scout knights climbed the other two valleys again, they found that Wu Zhendong had already led his men out of the valleys.

Since he knew that the enemy was coming, how could Wu Zhendong stay and become the target of the enemy. Besides, Wu Zhendong and they have a transmitter, which is too precious to take away.

After Wu Zhendong left with more than 60 of his men overnight, the Romans never found a single Xinghua soldier nearby.

The next day, it was dawn. The Roman scout knights passed through the eagle and found that there was not a single enemy around.

This frustrated the Roman scouts and forced them to expand their reconnaissance and reach into the Western Regions.

At noon the next day, Roman scouts spotted the remnants of a coalition of nations. This remnant army, about a hundred people, they are a small country's team. On the battlefield, they saw the opportunity quickly and escaped smoothly. It's just that they are not familiar with the terrain of the Western Regions, and they have been wandering around until now, before leaving the Western Regions and entering the Roman border. There are still many remnants of the coalition like this, but they always avoid the soldiers of the Xinghua Army, and the number of soldiers of the Xinghua Army is small, and it is impossible to chase them all the time. The main force of the Xinghua Army returned to the Hualou base early, and only sent a few hundred-man cavalry to patrol and clean up around Loulan City, which was naturally difficult to clean up.

With the help of the Great Eagle, the Roman scouts used them to quickly send back the main force of the Roman legions.

Lucius received the information, glanced at it hurriedly, his face changed greatly, he turned around, rode to the chariot of the eldest prince, dismounted, saluted and said: "Enlighten the eldest prince, urgent military report!"

The Grand Prince's car stopped, the door opened, Octavian looked at Lucius, and said, "General, what is the important news?"

"The allied forces of the countries were defeated outside Loulan City, and the enemy was the army of Anhua City in the Western Regions. Lucius said.

"What?!, 100,000 troops, defeated. Are there any survivors?" asked Octavian.

"This is news that the remnants of the coalition have brought back, and the scouts are returning with them, and they will be met soon. Lucius said.

Octavian frowned and said, "If there is a detailed report, then give me one." In addition, the general has to summarize the reasons for the coalition war report and draw up a detailed battle plan...... This battle is related to the struggle for the throne, and the slightest mistake cannot be tolerated. ”

"Yes, Lucius knows. Lucius replied.

After a while, the eldest prince's car closed the door again.

Lucius sighed, mounted his horse, and walked forward again.

This information cast a shadow over the course of the war that had been invincible for the Roman legions. Without the cooperation of the allied forces, the Roman legions would face the enemy head-on, and losses were inevitable. The only question is how much to lose.

Hualou base, Zhao Bai and others did not dare to despise the Roman Empire. This is a powerful country, and it is no fluke that it has been able to dominate the West for decades.

The Roman Empire was definitely a powerhouse, and it was a country with ninth-level professionals. A ninth-level professional, equivalent to the "nuclear bomb" of Blue Mercury, cannot be used easily. But it also shows that they are powerful. Although ninth-level professionals never leave their country, it is difficult to guarantee that the Xinghua Army will not encounter some seventh- and eighth-level professionals. These professionals can easily cause heavy losses to the Xinghua Army.

Of course, the means of dealing with these professionals are not non-existent, but relatively few, and require a lot of predetermined conditions. Under normal circumstances, the group attack increases the artillery, and the opponent is consumed little by little. Or, set a trap and blow up high-level professionals.

Of course, the elders of the cabinet and parliament of the Xinghua Empire believed that the high-ranking professionals of the Roman Empire would not appear in the Western Regions. Because of their own deterrence, they need to defend the national capital. Once they left the capital and died outside the capital, the neighbors around the Roman Empire would be ready to move. This was not good for the stability of the Roman Empire. In addition, Caesar has lost his previous ambitions, and I am afraid that he has no interest in the small countries of the Western Regions. As for the great powers of the East, they were too far away, and Julius Caesar was not willing to leave his country. (To be continued.) )
