Next chapter

The "thing" in Dirac's mouth refers to a plan of action he devised - in order to capture the blue city with minimal casualties, Dirac decided to use a strategy of digging tunnels.

At this time, Lou Lan City, although it is indeed as like a shell as Dirac thought, but because of the incompetence of King Lou Lan, the soldiers and people of Lou Lan Country will still do their best to protect their homeland. The soldiers defending the city, despite their frustration and suspicion, did not break through the city gate for a day, and they always stuck to their posts and did not show the appearance of a defeated army. Coupled with the fact that the terrain of Loulan Country is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Dirac will decide to fight in a roundabout way.

The Roman legions had already surveyed the terrain in advance, found the best location, and began to dig tunnels that led straight from the outside to the center of Lou Lan City, so that the Roman legions could infiltrate Lou Lan City silently.

As long as the elite soldiers of the Roman Empire can sneak into Lou Lan City, they can then cooperate with the Roman army outside Lou Lan City, so as to capture the city gate, and thus tear a hole and attack Lou Lan City.

As long as you complete this step of the strategic plan, the rest of the matter becomes much simpler.

Dirac seemed to have seen this happening, and his eyes radiated a light of victory, and when the time came, he only needed to lead the soldiers of the direct legion, first rob the palace, and then sack the whole city, and then complete his ambitious plan to dominate the Lou Lan country.

For this purpose, Dirac prepared a hundred wagons, which were only waiting to be used to transport the booty.

"Fire!" The first attack of the Roman legions was a trebuchet throwing boulders.

With this order, I saw a hundred boulders, which were fired in unison in an instant, as if covering half of the sky for a while, and smashed directly into the gate of Lou Lan City, and even smashed into the city.

Although this wave of impact did not hit a few people, the psychological pressure brought to Lou Lanren was extremely huge. This kind of strong attack on the Loulan defenders on the wall of Lou Lan City made them all helpless, and they rarely encountered a big scene, so the belief of the soldiers defending the city that they could defend their homes and the country almost collapsed for a while.

Fortunately, when the Lou Lan soldiers thought that the Roman legions were going to enter the city, they were unexpectedly found that after this wave of trebuchet attacks, the Roman legions did not seem to have any signs of further attacking Lou Lan City.

This abnormal phenomenon made the soldiers of Lou Lancheng, who had gradually settled down, couldn't help but wonder if the Roman legions had not seized the best opportunity to attack.

Since this is the case, it is an opportunity for Lou Lan City! Commander Lou Lan immediately issued an order to summon the army, and under the shouts of the officers, the chaotic Lou Lan defenders gradually stabilized.

But although the Roman legions did not attack Lou Lan City for the time being, the Roman legions entrenched not far away still continued to throw boulders at Lou Lan City. The survival of the Roman legions, which had never retreated, made the soldiers of Lou Lancheng always nervous, always worried that the Roman legions, which had not made further moves, would suddenly attack in.

But their worries seemed unnecessary, and the Roman legions simply kept the trebuchet attack until nightfall, when they stopped the attack.

Lou Blue City, in the distance, an army, marching at night.

Zhao Bai led more than a thousand Xinghua troops and was very cautious.

Soon after the appearance of the Roman legions, he took the Xinghua army to leave the Loulan army village, wander in the grassland, hide himself, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

"Sir, the enemy is constantly throwing stones at Lou Blue City. The losses of the Lou Lan City personnel were not large, but their morale plummeted, and they were not confident that they would be able to resist the Romans. The Scout reported.

Zhao Bai did not suspect the scouts, the Xinghua Army was in Loulan City, and it was not that there were no intelligence officers. Scouts, as long as they get a little closer to Lou Lancheng, can get the news inside through the guò walkie-talkie.

Zhao Bai was a little strange, why didn't the Romans take the opportunity to attack the city? This situation was unusual, could it be that the Romans had other plans behind them? But the war between the Roman Kingdom and the Loulan Kingdom, Zhao Bai was not interested in exploring more, and he did not plan to continue to spend his mind thinking about the reason why the Romans did not attack the city. At this moment, he was thinking more about how to stick a knife in the hearts of the Romans and hit the Romans hard.

"We are too few in number, and if we face off against the Roman legions, the odds of victory are probably not great, and even if we win by luck, we will inevitably suffer a lot of losses in exchange for this victory, which is not conducive to our future control of this region. Therefore, in this battle with the Roman legions, we need the most appropriate time for the assault. ”

After grasping the battle situation of the Roman legions, Zhao Bai quickly convened the captains of each squad and held a temporary combat motion meeting, in the face of a powerful enemy, they must unify their strategies and reach a consensus before the war, so as to ensure that when the two armies are fighting, no link will go wrong.

Zhao Bai looked around at the squad leaders and continued: "This is the right time for the Romans to enter the city. According to the information we have received, these Romans are planning to loot in Lou Lan City. Therefore, when the Romans entered the city, especially when they looted, not only was the fighting strength of the army scattered, but the scene must have been very chaotic. Between teams, it is difficult to coordinate. At this time, it is the best time for our Xinghua Army to give full play to the superiority of our weapons. ”

The team leaders immediately nodded yes, and Zhao Bai continued: "When the Romans enter the city, they will definitely not leave many people outside the city. Our task is to destroy their living force. Solve the army outside the city first, and then send an elite army into the city for street fighting. In addition, snipers have to occupy high-rise buildings with a good view of the city to support street fighting. Snipers should not shoot lightly, the goal of snipers is the enemy's high-level combat professionals, so as to inflict heavy damage on them......"

Zhao Bai said as he arranged. In fact, he was still quite sure of his plan. Not long ago, he had also sent seven snipers into the city to secretly lay out.

"Sir, I'm curious, how the Romans want to attack the city?" one of the squad leaders wondered.

Zhao Bai was also curious, but he didn't have the idea of exploring, and said: "After the battle, we can understand how they are going to attack the city." When the time comes, we can learn from their experience. ”

Zhao Bai arranged the staffing of each squad, clarified the combat tasks of each team, and the pre-war meeting ended.

Because the Roman legions did not move, the Xinghua army only sent scouts to continue to monitor closely. Most of the soldiers of the Xinghua Army should ensure sleep and be full of energy.

The night was a little difficult, and as the time passed little by little, Zhao Bai felt a little bored, so he simply made a bed in his tent and slept in it. Zhao Bai didn't cultivate because it wasn't a good time to cultivate, there were many people in the army, and his cultivation was easily affected, so he might as well go to sleep directly.

About two or three hours later, Zhao Bai was woken up by his adjutant.

"Sir, the Romans are moving!" said the adjutant.

Zhao Bai was startled, and suddenly the whole person was sober, and he immediately got up and asked, "What's the situation?"

The scouts found the Roman soldiers, who had not slept, and they had extinguished the lights and hid outside the city gates. The adjutant said.

"Are they going to attack the city?" This seemed to be different from the information he had received before, Zhao Bai was slightly puzzled, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, slightly surprised, "How did they open the city gate? ”

The adjutant couldn't answer Zhao Bai's words, and Zhao Bai didn't have the intention of asking the adjutant to explain. Since the Romans are about to move, Zhao Bai can't be unresponsive. Therefore, he immediately summoned all the squad leaders and asked them to secretly gather the soldiers of each team, and after all the soldiers were assembled, they were ready to attack at any time.

The tunnels of the Roman legions had been dug through, and it happened to be one or two o'clock in the morning, when the defenders were at their most tired, and Dirac did not want to wait any longer and decided to implement the plan.

At this time, about 500 Roman soldiers, who were passing through the Guò tunnel, entered Lou Lan City, preparing to seize the city gate.

After an hour, Zhao Bai took the telescope and saw the direction of Lou Lancheng. There, in the darkness of the night, there was a faint reddish fire. Zhao Bai immediately gave the order, and the Xinghua army began to act.

More than 1,000 soldiers of the Xinghua Army immediately marched in a hurry and rushed to Loulan City.

After a while, the Xinghua army arrived outside Lou Lan City.

At this time, the Roman legions had already invaded Lou Lan City. Zhao Bai and the others could already clearly see Lou Lan City, there was fire everywhere, and there was no shouting and killing on the city wall. However, the Romans have not completely pacified the city of Lou Lan. In addition to the firelight, there was also the shouting of people.

Zhao Bai ignored the situation in Lou Lan City, the goal of the Xinghua Army was very clear, and the Prime Minister They had to face the Romans outside the city.

The judgment of the Xinghua army was correct, and the Roman legions left the army outside the city, which was less than a thousand soldiers, guarding trebuchets and other equipment and carriages.

This was an opportunity for the Xinghua army, which formed a little, and then, Zhao Bai ordered the Xinghua army to launch a surprise attack.

Bang bang bang gunfire rang out, and more than 1,000 Xinghua troops raided more than 1,000 Roman soldiers, which was completely unexpected by the enemy. Naturally, the Xinghua Army also had an absolute advantage.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, it took not even five minutes for the Roman army remaining outside the city to be completely eliminated.

The Xinghua Army began the second step of the battle plan.

"Hong Xingjia, be careful. Zhao Bai said to Hong Xingjia, who was about to enter Loulan City and start a street fight.

Hong Xingjia, a second lieutenant officer of the Xinghua Expeditionary Force, has a flexible mind and is good at sports warfare. Zhao Bai gave him more than 200 Xinghua soldiers to enter Lou Lan City and start a battle, with the task of effectively killing and wounding the enemy army and organizing the rebel army in Lou Lan City.

"Yes, sir. We will definitely complete the task!" replied Hong Xingjia.

"For this mission, I will give you credit!" Zhao Bai said solemnly.

"Yes, sir. Hong Xingjia said.

"Let's go!" Zhao Bai nodded in response.

Hong Xingjia led the team and walked into the city from the gate broken by the Romans.

The Romans did not leave soldiers at the gates, they seemed to be confident in themselves and did not defend the retreat at all.

Hong Xing's family entered the city, and soon after, gunshots rang out in the city.

Zhao Bai watched the Hongxing family enter the city, and then ordered the Xinghua army to quickly clean up the battlefield and leave. After a while, there will definitely be Romans coming out, and Zhao Bai doesn't want to touch them. The strength of the Xinghua army is insufficient, so it will move, fight as much as it wants, occupy the initiative, and not give the enemy the slightest chance.

"Hold! Hold!"

Lou Lan Palace, is a castle with relatively complete defense facilities, with city walls, isolation, and arrow towers. Moreover, the only remaining elite of Lou Lan in the Lou Lan Army are all guarding in the palace. Lou Lan King, he didn't want to fall into the hands of the Romans. Lou Lan soldiers, they shouted, desperately defending their king.

There are also some ministers of Lou Lan who do not want to fall into the hands of the Romans. Many people, with their families, hid in the palace. These ministers controlled the interior of the palace and did not let it have internal strife.

In fact, how many people were willing to surrender their fate to the enemy? The credibility of the Romans was unreliable, and Lou Lan's ministers had put their hopes in Anhua City because of one person.

In the main hall of Lou Lan Palace, there is a person standing proudly, he is a liaison officer in Anhua City. Not long ago, before the Roman soldiers entered the city, he appeared in front of the king of Lou Lan and told him that the army of Anhua had arrived outside the city of Lou Lan. Now, the army of Anhua City needs King Lou Lan to do something. That is to guard the Lou Lan Palace for three hours until dawn.

King Lou Lan and Minister Lou Lan, they both chose to believe in the liaison officer of Anhua City.

"Just hold for three hours, and we will be able to drive out the Romans. Not only that, but we also have a great chance to defeat the Romans and keep Lou Lanwang safe for ten years. Anwar Liaison Officer assured Lou Lan Junchen.

"How did the enemy get into the city?" said one of Lou Lan's ministers in exasperation. However, he was not targeting the liaison officers of Anhua City, but several generals of Lou Lan Kingdom.

"The enemy dug a tunnel, crept into the city, and then killed the guards at the gates, opened the gates, and let in the enemies outside the city. We defended against the enemy outside the city, but not the enemy inside the city......" General Lou Lan defended.

"Report ...... The defenders of the palace suffered heavy losses, with more than 500 casualties. "A young general entered the main hall to report.

"Who else do we have, all of them are going to support...... Even if it is a woman, bring me a dagger, and be ready at any time, either the enemy dies or she dies, and you must not be defiled by the enemy. When Lou Lanwang heard this, he said a little crazy.

At this moment, a thumping sound came.

The liaison officer of Anhua City said with a smile: "Our people are here, and if we insist on defending it again, after a while, we will definitely break the siege and kill the Romans again." ”

Lou Lan Junchen was surprised and delighted when he heard this.

"Great, just hold on a little longer, and we'll be saved......! Hold the entrance!" Lou Lan Wang shouted.

"Yes, my lord. The young general, who had reported his worries, turned back and wanted to tell the soldiers of the defenders of this good news.

Hong Xing's family entered Loulan City, and within half an hour, they encountered four Roman legion squads, who either robbed the big families in Loulan City, or besieged and killed Loulan officers and soldiers. Naturally, in the face of the Roman soldiers, the Hong Xing family saw one by one, killed one by one, and saw a whole team
