On this side, after the Roman legions had all withdrawn from Loulan City, Dirac took the legions to a safe place, and then gave an order for the whole army to stop advancing and rest in place, and ordered his subordinates to count the number of soldiers.

"Seven thousand three hundred and forty-one Roman soldiers!" was the answer Dirac finally received.

But this answer shocked Dirac, and then his anger rushed straight to his head! The Roman legions lost more than 2,000 troops!

This was too different from Dirac's plan in advance, and the losses suffered were too severe! For a moment, Dirac didn't even come to his senses. Compared with the defenders of Lou Lan City, who only have an empty shell left, the strength of the Roman legion is obviously incomparable, it should be able to solve Lou Lan City lightly, and even in the eyes of the arrogant Dirac, even if the Roman legion does not spend a single soldier, it is all right, it cannot be such a situation at this time.

Dirac turned around and glanced at Lou Lan Cheng hatefully, he was eager to immediately lead the rest of the Roman soldiers back to Lou Lan City and completely destroy Lou Lan City!

But the remaining sanity still prevented Dirac from being so entangled. The treasure looted by the legions was waiting for them to be transported back to the Roman Empire.

Whether to fight back, or to escort the treasure, Dirac hesitated.

Under the dilemma, Dirac finally did not forget the fact that he was the commander of the Roman legion, leading the army to go out of the country to fight, shouldering the mission of national honor and disgrace and interests, and he really should not be rash and impulsive. At present, the loss of the army's strength is already an indisputable fact, even if he leads the army back to Lou Lan City, it will not change this loss, but will incur a greater casualty rate because of his insistence on revenge, which is a stupid mistake that must not be made as a general of the first army.

In fact, the fact that two thousand troops had been lost was not only diluted by revenge against Lou Lan Country, but also made up for it by using these treasures that the legion had looted from Lou Lan Country.

Dirac thought that as long as he safely transported this considerable batch of financial reports back to China, presumably, even if the Grand Duke of Dila would still blame him for his poor leadership, at least he would have a chance to make a difference, and perhaps because of this, the Grand Duke of Dira would not blame him too much.

On the contrary, if Dirac could not bring back the treasure, it was to be expected that his situation would be very bleak, and he was afraid that losing his post as commander would already be his most optimistic end, and perhaps the Grand Duke of Dira would be furious for a while, and he would have to suffer even more severe consequences.

After weighing the pros and cons, Dirac gritted his teeth and ordered the Roman legions to protect the treasure and return home.

"Let's go back to Dilla first!" Dirac ordered in a cold voice.

"My lord......" Dirac could still endure this breath, but the fifth-level swordsman beside him who was stimulated by the Hongxing family's humiliation was unwilling to swallow his anger, and he spoke to Dirac with a reluctant face. However, before the words could be spoken, Dirac, who saw through his thoughts, waved his hand to stop him.

Dirac looked at the fifth-level swordsman with an expressionless face, and dropped a sentence: "We still have a chance." Then, regardless of whether the fifth-level swordsman was willing to accept it or not, he rode away first.

Seeing this, even if the fifth-level swordsman had any complaints, he could only put his stomach of dissatisfaction in his throat, and he also rode away with the army.

The Roman legions were in unison, protecting the caravan transporting the treasure, all the way to the west.

An hour later, the fire in the Blue Palace, which was mostly half of the building, was finally extinguished, but the palace was full of thick black smoke, and no one was willing to take half a step closer.

Hong Xing's family rescued King Lou Lan and Lou Lan Junchen from the tunnel. These people are all unbearable at this time, if they are the core figures of a country, it is really difficult to speak, and the bearing they should have is completely gone.

Although they suffered pitiful, the Hong Xing family didn't have much heart, caring about their life and death, let alone being willing to comfort them.

"Now that the Roman legions have retreated, we are leaving as well. When Hong Xingjia saw the tragic situation of Lou Lan Palace, he didn't know what to say to Lou Lan people, so he had to silently express sympathy and lead his troops to leave Lou Lan City. Because, they still have the task of catching up with the home team and assisting the main team of the Xinghua Army outside the city.

On the other side, Zhao Baizheng led the Xinghua army, far behind the Roman legions, and he couldn't let these Romans easily take away the treasure.

On the one hand, Zhao Bai sent people back to Anhua City and sent a telegram to the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team to ask for support; on the other hand, Zhao Bai decided to follow the Roman legions along the way, and then wait for the opportunity to intercept the Roman legions and intercept the Loulan treasure.

A temporary base for the Mountain Eagle Special Operations Team. Not long ago, Wei Zhouquan contacted the vice captain Qi Hada.

Qihada led another part of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team members from the vicinity of Hasara City and rushed back, and also participated in the ambush battle.

Wei Zhouquan received a telegram from Anhua City, knowing that the Roman legions had successfully plundered Loulan City and grabbed a lot of treasures, so he began to order his subordinates to secretly lay several minefields on the way for the Roman legions to return to the Roman Empire.

In addition to laying traps for the Roman legions, Wei Zhouquan and the others also focused on discussing how to deal with the high-level combat professionals in the Roman legions.

"According to the news from Anhua City, this time there are fifth-level swordsmen in the Roman legions, and none of us are his opponents. So, we have to set a lore trap for him as well. ”

"This lore trap is a triple trap. The first trap is sniping, the second trap is remote-controlled bombs, and the third trap is to besiege with more and less. Wei Zhouquan explained his plan in detail to Zhao Zhan and Qi Hada. This time, it is necessary to set traps and ambush the Roman legions, and the task is critical, so the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team is almost all dispatched.

"Zhao Zhan, you are the best sniper in the Mountain Eagle Clan, the best sniper rifle, and the heavy sniper rifle in your hand, and the task of sniping is entrusted to you. Wei Zhouquan said.

"Yes, Team Wei, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task. Zhao Zhan replied confidently.

"We set up a remote-controlled bomb trap area on the hillside next to the minefield. We're planting a lot of bombs here...... Your task is to introduce a level 5 swordsman, introduce a preset location, and then detonate a bomb to kill or seriously injure a level 5 swordsman. If he hadn't been killed, he would have been surrounded with a dozen submachine guns......," Wei Zhouquan said.

"Leave the siege to me. Zihada replied.

"As long as we besiege the high-ranking swordsmen of the Roman legions, they lose their strongest combat power...... The rest of the Roman soldiers, even more so were no match for us. Moreover, we have reinforcements. The Xinghua army in Anhua City is also tracking the Roman legions. We'll get in touch with them before the war. ”

Wei Zhouquan did his best to arrange the task, and he was in charge of the entire ambush operation. According to Wei Zhouquan's requirements, Zhao Zhan had to find the best sniper position to kill with one blow. Zihada was responsible for selecting a dozen elite team members with good marksmanship to ambush near the remote-controlled bomb area.

The Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team was well arranged, and Wei Zhouquan sent people to monitor the entrances and exits of the Roman camp. As soon as the Roman legions returned from the Western Regions and entered the camp, they could enter the predetermined ambush site in the fastest possible time. Of course, Wei Zhouquan was worried that the Roman legions would not return to their camp, and he also sent a telegram to the Anwar telegraph station to receive news at any time.

On the other hand, Zhao Bai led the Xinghua army to follow the Roman legions all the way, biting tightly behind the Romans. Originally, Zhao Bai was also worried that there would be problems with their cooperation with the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team. However, Wei Siming of Anhua City sent someone to send a telegraph machine for Zhao Bai to use with the team. Soon, Zhao Bai and Wei Zhouquan got in touch.

It took three times as long for the Roman legions to return to the camp as they did to travel from the camp to the kingdom of Loulan. This was all because the treasures on the carriages were heavy, and they walked slowly.

Dirac didn't seem to be unhappy either, though.

For a day and a night, they made a rough estimate of the spoils of war as they hurried. The treasures they robbed this time were not insignificant, including countless gold, silver, and jade. Silver, in particular, filled five wagons. Even if Dirac takes half of this wealth, he doesn't need to worry about running out of money to spend in his life.

It's just that Dirac also has dissatisfaction, that is, behind them, there has always been a tail, following behind. Dirac guessed that these people were most likely from Loulan Kingdom, and they were unwilling to let the wealth of the palace be looted by them. Dirac, however, did not panic. for they did not dare to rush forward and take back the treasures of their country. Therefore, Dirac was both wary of them and despised them. Of course, if these guys who are following Dirac dare to come and grab it, Dirac will also let them have no return. Unfortunately, these stalkers are patient and follow them all the way from afar.

In this way, after another two days, the Roman legions returned to their camp without any danger.

Returning to the camp of the Roman legions, Dirac decided to divide the legions into two parts. One section was responsible for sorting out the loot and protecting the wagon convoys transporting the treasure. The other part, consisting of three thousand elite cavalry, was near the convoy of transports, sweeping a qiē enemy.

Now far away from the Blue Country of the Western Regions, Dirac can no longer tolerate the enemy following him.

The next day, the Roman legions split into two parts and walked out of the makeshift camp of the Roman legions.

The Roman legions, carrying a large army of treasures, went ahead. Three thousand elite Roman cavalry rode behind them.

"Have you spotted any signs of the enemy?" Dirac asked his subordinates.

"It's strange that they seem to have disappeared overnight. Our cavalry squad searched a three-kilometer radius, but they were not found. The subordinate replied.

Dirac was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't they following?"

His subordinates were unable to answer Dirac's question.

Dirac thought about it for a moment, and decided that it was a good thing not to find the enemy. However, he did not dare to relax. Because the enemy who followed him all the way disappeared all at once, which was a little weird, and he needed to be vigilant. Therefore, Dirac ordered 3,000 cavalry to follow behind the convoy of transporting goods. In this way, if something goes wrong, we can support each other.

Dirac's purpose was to bring the treasure back to Dilla City, and he didn't want to be delayed on the way. The treasure of Lou Lan Country should be able to subtract the guilt of not finding the robber who broke through the professional prison on Mount Braun.

After a while, Dirac noticed a small hill ahead and asked, "What kind of mountain is that?"

"Lord Qiyu, it's a nameless mountain. The subordinate replied.

Dirac heard this and nodded. He knew that outside of the Roman Empire, there were many very common places that had no names or many different names. In general, he doesn't need to pay much attention. The reason why Dirac noticed this hill was that he thought it was very strange. Every time they went around the hill, they always found a lot of strange-shaped stones underneath the hill. Some of these stones resemble a piece of jerky, some resemble a flat loaf of bread, and the color of the rocks resembles food.

Dirac was just bored to ask, and he wasn't so worried that an enemy would attack them on the hill. This is because the slope of the hill is relatively gentle. In most areas, horses are able to go up. As long as the enemy is not stupid, he will not set up an ambush on the hillside. Dirac thought about it for a while, and felt that the small hill was not important, and he ignored the small hill, and did not even send a few cavalry to reconnoitre.

The Roman legions entered the road next to the hill and prepared to go around it.

Boom!

In front of the procession, there was a loud noise, and many of the horses were frightened and restless.

Dirac was startled and looked ahead, a cloud of white smoke rising.

"What's going on?" Dirac instructed his men to immediately pacify the team and go to check on the situation.

"Reported, the front team was attacked, and seven people were killed and wounded. The subordinate replied.

Dirac immediately ordered the heralds, gave orders to the elite cavalry, and ordered them to search the surrounding area. Shortly after the order was given, Dirac ordered the troops to temporarily halt their advance and investigate the cause.

Behind the small hill, more than 200 members of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team, who were sheltered by some grass and trees, were lying in ambush.

"Captain, they don't seem to be moving on anymore. ”

"These Romans were too cautious, and once it exploded, they didn't even leave. ”

Wei Zhouquan's team members were worried, worried that if the Romans did not take the minefield, their arrangements would really be useless.

Wei Zhouquan said: "The Romans are very proud, they will not take a detour just because the enemy is in front. ”

After a short while, the Roman legions marched again.

Wei Zhouquan smiled, he expected it.

"Everyone, be careful, we must draw out the enemy's masters first. Wei Zhouquan took out the walkie-talkie and said to all the staff.

"Understood!" Zhao Zhan, Qi Hada, Zhao Bai and others responded one after another.

At this time, Wei Zhouquan's Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team and Zhao Bai's Xinghua Army had already been in contact, and the two sides cooperated with each other to deal with this group of Romans.

"The Romans are in the middle of the minefield!" said the observer.

Wei Zhouquan nodded, in his binoculars, the carriage of the Romans, more than half of them had already entered the mine area.
