Chapter 614: Investigation and Preparation

For Wei Zhouquan and them, it was not difficult to find the location of the Roman camp, but the real problem was that after they discovered the Roman camp, they unexpectedly found that the Roman camp was full of an army of 10,000 people!

Not only that, after secretly observing the layout of the Roman battalion, Wei Zhouquan can basically determine that the 10,000-strong army in this battalion is obviously the regular army of the Roman Empire.

Wei Zhouquan is quite self-aware, and has enough understanding of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team, and understands that the advantage of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team is special operations, not regular legions, and it is not suitable for face-to-face attacks with the large army, or long-term confrontation, so Wei Zhouquan believes that it is best to avoid this kind of head-on battle.

Besides, according to common sense, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a few combat professionals of level 5 or above in the general regular army, not to mention the Roman legions in front of them, there will definitely be such professionals. Most of these professionals are not more difficult to entangle than ordinary soldiers, and they are not even afraid of bullets, and perhaps only cannonballs can pose a threat to them. But even so, it is very difficult to aim a mortar shell at a master. If there are rocket artillery, a large number of shells, and a large number of mines, Wei Zhouquan may want to try it, can he sneak attack the Roman legions and teach them a lesson.

Therefore, after some weighing, Wei Zhouquan naturally would not have the idea of attacking the Roman legions head-on.

Our mission, first, was to investigate the purpose of the Roman legions and to understand the disposition of their army. How many men and horses, how many cavalry, how many infantry, what special weapons are there, etc. The second is to master the supply routes of the Romans, find their granaries, and cut off their supply lines if necessary. Wei Zhouquan said.

"Yes, Captain. The team member replied.

"Divided into three teams, the first team went to find out the supply and transportation routes of the Romans, the second team grabbed a few inconsequential tongues to find out where the enemy was coming from, and the third team was nearby, looking for a temporary base, and we relied on walkie-talkies to make contact. Wei Zhouquan said.

Then, Wei Zhouquan assigned team members to the three teams.

Among them, Wei Zhouquan deliberately put Lilian and more than a hundred barbarians with him to find the address of the temporary base. Wei Zhouquan stayed at the base, on the one hand, he could support the other two teams, and on the other hand, he also watched Lilian and them.

Three hours later, Wei Zhouquan was on the walkie-talkie, listening to the report of the second team. Sure enough, this Roman legion came from the area of Mount Braun, all the way down. They were the direct legion of the Grand Duke of Dila, about 30,000 men. However, Commander Dirac led 10,000 men to camp here, with the aim of entering the Western Regions and looting.

Wei Zhouquan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. The target of these Romans was not the Mountain Eagle Task Force, nor the city of Anwar. The Romans wanted to pick a small country in the Western Regions at random and rob the wealth.

Wei Zhouquan thought about it and withdrew the first team. The aim of the Romans was to loot, and it was not so important to investigate their supply lines. Since they were planning to rob, and they were planning to leave after robbing, supplies were not so important. Wei Zhouquan also speculated that these Romans came out to rob, most likely without the permission of the top brass of the Roman Empire, and it was a private act.

Wei Zhouquan summoned all the team members to return to the temporary base and then return together.

Finding Zhao Zhan, Wei Zhouquan communicated with Zhao Zhan about what he knew. The two sides unanimously agreed to report truthfully by telegram.

Anhua City, Wei Siming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he got the report of the Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team. At the moment, it seems that the Romans will not be targeting the city of Anhua. Although their goal is Lou Lan Guo Lou Lan City, they are just robbing and leaving after robbing, which will not affect Anhua City. This incident made Wei Siming half relieved.

The other half is worried that Lou Languo is an affiliate of Anhua City. Wei Siming regarded the wealth of Lou Lan Kingdom as the wealth of the empire. The Romans did this, which was undoubtedly an act of grabbing food

Wei Siming thought that the Romans had robbed Lou Lanren, and Anhua City had to take action. It's not to protect the Lou Lan people, but to defeat the Romans, rob the Romans, and eat black with black. Once the army of Anhua defeated the Roman legions, it would surely make a name for itself in the Western Regions, attracting a large number of talents and wealth.

When the cavalry of the Roman legion appeared within the territory of Lou Lan Kingdom, there was a panic in Lou Lan Kingdom. At the beginning, King Lou Lan also wanted to send an envoy to inquire about the Roman legion's intentions, and wanted to use benevolence and righteousness to prevent the Roman legion from entering. However, the Roman legions did not pay attention to the envoy of Lou Lan King at all, and even the envoy of Lou Lan was humiliated by the Roman legion and asked Lou Lan City to open the door and surrender. At this time, King Lou Lan realized that the Romans were not good. Therefore, King Lou Lan will send someone to Anhua City for help.

In fact, when he sent someone to Anhua City for help, King Lou Lan was also helpless. Not long ago, Lou Lan's army was defeated by the Xinghua army, with heavy losses, Lou Languo no longer has the power to protect himself, and if he does not seek Anhua City, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep Lou Languo.

Wei Siming of Anhua City received one after another letters for help from King Lou Lan, and he naturally knew very well in his heart that King Lou Lan was thinking. However, Wei Siming really couldn't help but help. Because the garrison in Loulan Army Village is the soldiers of the Xinghua Army. Wei Siming sent someone to inform Zhao Bai, the commander of the Xinghua Expeditionary Force, to tell Zhao Bai to be careful, or to withdraw from the Loulan Army Village and return to Anhua City.

When Zhao Bai got the news, he was not as worried as Wei Siming, but excited. As a soldier, when I hear about war, my blood can't help but boil.

Therefore, Zhao Bai was very active in sending scouts to find traces of the Roman army.

Half a month after Anhua City sent a telegram asking for help to the empire, Zhao Bai led his own soldiers back to Anhua City to receive an army that had just been formed. This army is the real descendant of Anhua City, the Anwar Army. The Anwar Legion was small, with a total of 1,000 soldiers, and their main armament was swords and crossbows.

In the Loulan Army Village, there were only 500 Xinghua Army soldiers, and Zhao Bai felt that the soldiers were insufficient, so he decided to come back and pull some soldiers to the Loulan Army Village.

Wei Siming agrees with this matter. However, Wei Siming hoped that Zhao Bai would slow down and lead his troops to Loulan Country again.

Zhao Bai was puzzled and said: "The soldiers are fast, we should send troops as soon as possible to prevent the Romans from attacking Lou Lan City." ”

Wei Siming explained: "I just got the news that the Empire's arms supply is about to arrive in Anhua City. You can refill your ammo in Anhua City and then go to Lou Lan Country. On the other hand, the threat of Lou Lan is not necessarily not beneficial to us, so don't rush to fight the Romans. You see, there are a lot of new houses in the outer city, and most of the owners of these houses are rich and noble families. Their purpose was to take refuge in Anhua City. ”

Zhao Bai thought about it, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I understand! This is a good thing, I will pay attention to it, and let the rich and noble people in Lou Lancheng feel the crisis more." ”

Wei Siming and Zhao Bai didn't wait long, they were on the tower, and they saw a row of black dragons, galloping from the east.

"What's that?" Wei Siming and Zhao Bai said in shock.

"Is this the latest alchemy product developed by the Empire?" Wei Siming asked.

Wei Siming didn't know, Zhao Bai didn't know, and the rest of the entourage was even more stupid and speechless. This is beyond their comprehension.

Seeing the black dragon getting closer and closer to Anhua City, Wei Siming roughly estimated that in ten minutes, they would arrive at Anhua City. Wei Siming was taken aback and said, "We are going to meet the imperial transport team at the gate of the city." He hurriedly descended the tower and hurried to the east gate.

When Zhao Bai saw Wei Siming go down the tower, he naturally would not stay on the tower to watch. Moreover, Zhao Bai has also escorted materials, and people who know the escort materials are often moved when they see that they are welcomed. Therefore, Zhao Bai would not stay on the tower and miss the opportunity to meet and make friends with the domestic envoys.

Wei Siming and Zhao Bai were at the east gate of Anhua City, neatly lined up, to greet the people in the empire. It has attracted the attention of many people in Anhua City. However, in order to ensure the safety of arms supplies, Wei Siming instructed the soldiers to rectify the implementation of the east gate and not allow people in the city to come out to watch. However, there were still many people who came out of the mouths of the soldiers with some information: the envoys from the empire were about to arrive, and they would bring a large number of weapons. In order to witness the demeanor of the imperial envoys, many people gathered on both sides of the streets of the city.

The black dragon slowed down and slowly stopped outside the east gate of Anhua City.

At this time, Wei Siming and Zhao Bai were already stunned.

The carriage without wheels? The shocked expressions of the two were unmistakable.

"No wonder the empire can guarantee that supplies will be sent to Anhua City within half a month. Wei Siming said softly and to himself.

A few minutes later, a group of officers and soldiers wearing Xinghua Army uniforms got off the carriage.

"Xinghua Empire, Zhang Yuan, the captain of the Western Regions transport team, reported that the supplies arrived in Anhua City smoothly. Sir, we need to borrow a telegraph to report our trip to the country. Zhang Yuan took out a document and handed it to Wei Siming.

Wei Siming opened the certificate, took a general look, and confirmed the name, photo and job information inside. In fact, Wei Siming had just opened the document and confirmed Zhang Yuan's true identity. Because of the photographic technology of the Xinghua Empire, no country has yet been able to imitate it, which is a unique document of the Xinghua Empire.

"I am Wei Siming, the city lord of Anhua City, and this is Zhao Bai, an officer of the Xinghua Army. Wei Siming solemnly returned the certificate to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan took the certificate, put it away, and saluted Zhao Bai. In the army, Zhao Bai's military rank is higher than Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan has to take the initiative to salute.

Zhao Bai also returned the salute and said, "Welcome to Anhua City!"

"The munitions depot is located in the inner city of Anhua City, please follow us into Anhua City, unload the munitions, and we will talk about the current situation slowly. Wei Siming greeted Zhang Yuandao.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "We have five hundred soldiers armed with submachine guns, and they are all veterans. The Empire has sent us here for reinforcements. ”

Wei Siming arranged for the guide to open the way in front, and the arms convoy of the Xinghua Empire followed the guide of Anhua City into the city.

The people in the city exclaimed when they saw the hovering carriage. Seeing the magical suspended carriage, the performance of the people in the city was not much better than Wei Siming. However, when these people saw the hovering carriage, the people's hearts were greatly increased. The public is more identified with Anhua City and feels that Anhua City is safe.

The Xinghua Empire's Western Regions transport team began to carry arms boxes in the warehouse in the inner city of Anhua City.

Wei Siming and Zhao Bai took Zhang Yuan and three other officers from afar to another room to drink tea and rest for a while. Wei Siming and Zhao Bai wanted to know if Zhang Yuan had encountered trouble along the way, and by the way, they also introduced the challenge they were about to face from the Romans.

"Did you encounter any trouble on the way?" Wei Siming asked.

"We didn't have any major problems along the way. The hovering carriage was very fast, and we had a few small things. Also rely on it to quickly disengage. Zhang Yuan replied.

"What happened to you? Tell me about it. Wei Siming asked again, he was a little at the bottom of it, it was he who had just thought of something. If the empire and Anhua City are kept on a regular communication route. Then Anhua City will definitely be able to get more support from the state.

"On two occasions, a pack of savannah wolves tried to attack us, but we didn't give them a chance and used our speed to shake off the pack. There was also a passing creek, and the suspended carriage could not pass, so it took some time to repair the pontoon bridge and ......repair it," Zhang Yuan described to Wei Siming the trouble the convoy encountered.

"You have worked hard!" Zhao Bai stood up again and saluted Zhang Yuan.

"Serve the Empire!" Zhang Yuan said.

"It just so happened that Zhao Bai transferred the army in Anhua City, and you will stay in Anhua City for the time being to protect the safety of Anhua City. Wei Siming wanted Zhang Yuan and his team to stay in Anhua City.

"Yes, Castle Keeper. "Zhang Yuan has no purpose, before he came, the cabinet arranged a task for him, that is, to obey the command of Lord Anhua City Guard.

Zhao Bai sat on the side and listened, and suddenly panicked, and said, "We are very short of combatants!"

Wei Siming shook his head and said, "Isn't the goal of our army to defend civilians? This time, Anhua City is too strong in the face of the enemy, and it is impossible not to leave some military strength to ensure that Anhua City will not be attacked. ”

Zhao Bai suddenly felt helpless, and after drinking, he left Anhua City with a thousand soldiers. Zhang Yuan and other 500 Xinghua soldiers stayed in Anhua City. Once they are familiar with Anhua City, Wei Siming will arrange for them to participate in the defense of Anhua City and carry out the task of defending the city.

Zhang Yuan didn't know about the situation in Anhua City, and he didn't refuse Wei Siming's arrangement.

After Zhao Bai led the team away, Wei Siming chatted with Zhang Yuan for a while, and then took Zhang Yuan to the telegraph room in Anhua City, and used the code of Anhua City to send a telegram to China, indicating that they had successfully completed the task. (To be continued.) )
