When Wei Zhouquan heard this, he immediately woke up and asked, "What's the situation?"

The scout replied in detail: "There is a Roman legion that is looking around for the whereabouts of the Blade of Zihada, but they want to exterminate the Blade of Qihada! Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qihada on the side was stunned when he heard this, and almost reflexively responded directly: "Their target is us? Could it be the army of Hasara City?"

Qihada also thought that they were wiped out by the army of Hasara City, and it was only natural that they were disrupted by the local army because their Qihada Blade disrupted Hasara City.

It's just that at this time, Qihada guessed wrong.

"Not really. At first, we also guessed that it was the army of the city that was provoked, but after several days of reconnaissance, it was already determined that the person who came was not the army of Hasara City, but the Roman legions! Not only that, but after many investigations, we found another more important news, that Octavian, the great prince of the Roman Empire, was the leading general of the Roman legion, and his Roman legion was the main army of this crusade. The Scout replied.

This news is really extremely important, and it also makes everyone present look nervous.

The 53 scouts, all of whom were the elite of the special combat team, spent three days, and with their strength, it was difficult to say how much error there could be in the information on the battle situation that they had obtained. What's more, the great prince of the Roman Empire, an important figure in the royal family of this great country, personally led the army to battle, and it was not difficult to find out such important news. Therefore, this means that the Roman Empire attached great importance to these regions, and it is natural to imagine how much importance it attained.

Although the opponent is the legion of the Roman Empire, this has long been not an important influencing factor, for Wei Zhouquan and them, they have always used roundabout tactics, planning the rear of the Roman legion, that is, taking advantage of the disturbance of several restless forces in the city of Hashara to find a breakthrough to attack the Roman legion. Of course, this is due to the fact that the Roman legions do not pay much attention to them, and the Roman legions are at the point of being unable to do anything.

It's just that as soon as the information obtained now is analyzed, Wei Zhouquan found that it is obvious that some of their strategies have fallen into a misunderstanding. It turned out that the Roman legions were coming for them, and had already put on a posture of completely eliminating the Blade of Zihada. Although Wei Zhouquan was not surprised that the continuous ransacking of the noble circle of Hasara City with the Blade of Zihada would cause them to attract attacks from the Roman army, this result seemed to have come a little earlier. And this means that the Blade of Zihada can no longer think about how to calculate the supply lines of the Roman legions.

Secondly, what surprised Wei Zhouquan the most was that the main army of the Roman legion was actually led by the prince of the Roman Empire.

Wei Zhouquan is very sure that they are indeed in trouble, at least, from now on, it seems that they can no longer continue to fight in hiding and attack in the shadows, and now, they must adjust their strategy as soon as possible.

When Wei Zhouquan had already disregarded everything else and began to think carefully about the next strategic layout, Qihada, as the leader of the Qihada Blade, was still surging with unappeased anger in his heart. To say that the bandits east of Hasara City have been wiped out by the Roman legions, he actually didn't care at all, because these exterminated bandit gangs are not allies of the Blade of Qihada, and they don't have much to do with each other.

What made Zihada unhappy was that the Roman legions had an attitude of chasing and killing the Blade of Zihada -- they exterminated these bandit gangs not only because of the troubles they were stirring up, but more importantly, their target was his Tsichada Blade! In this way, to put it mildly, the bandit gangs that had been exterminated were not the substitutes of the Blade of Qihada?

Therefore, Qihada looked at Wei Zhouquan, who looked contemplative, gritted his teeth and took the initiative to ask, and said: "Captain, let's go out immediately! The current situation is very urgent, we must quickly seize the opportunity, otherwise, if we wait until the Roman legions completely wipe out all the bandit gangs east of Hasara City, I am afraid that the entire environment will have changed greatly by then, if that is the case, we will lose the time and place." ”

The time and place that Qihada refers to actually refers to the foundation that Qihada's blade has invisibly laid over time.

When Zihada led the team to the east of the city of Hasala, when they carried out robbery activities, they almost only targeted the local rich merchants and nobles, instead of forcibly disturbing the people's livelihood and destroying their stability in a brutal and brutal manner, on the contrary, they did something especially deliberately in order to integrate into the lives of the local people, and also established a huge network of connections, so that they could hide themselves very well in the local area, but also form a well-informed intelligence and reconnaissance network, so that they could obtain information from all sides in a more timely and detailed manner, so as to grasp the large and small movements of the Romans in the city of Hashara as they are now。

Therefore, Zihada believes that since it has been learned that the Roman legions are targeting the Blade of Zihada, then, they must deal with it immediately, because, if they don't stop it, they will clear his network, which is not good for Zihada and not good for the entire Mountain Eagle Special Forces.

"Don't be impatient! After listening to the report!" Wei Zhouquan said.

Hearing this, the scout nodded, and continued: "The specific number of this sweeping legion should be about 6,000 people, all of which are Roman regular troops. It is reported that there are also some soldiers who are elite spear throwers. The Elite Spear Thrower is a special ranged class that attacks enemies within 300 meters. ”

"Obviously, the lancers were used exclusively by the Romans against our riflemen, drawing on the experience of the last defeat. The gap between us and the enemy is narrowing...... You can't be careless. Wei Zhouquan said to Qi Hada.

"Captain, so you promised me to go on the expedition?!" Zihada said.

Wei Zhouquan nodded and said, "The Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team has never been afraid of challenges. Since the enemy has come to the door, you don't have to be polite. Before you go, go to the arsenal to get some more bullets and grenades. ”

"Yes, Captain. Zihada replied.

"You also have a mission, which is to monitor the Roman legions in Hasara City, and any changes must be reported in time. If possible, give them a lot of trouble. Wei Zhouquan also gave Qihada a task.

Zihada replied, "Please rest assured, captain, we will complete the task." ”

Wei Zhouquan waved his hand and signaled that Qi Hada could go and prepare. The three of them spent a lot of time together, and Qi Hada simply left the meeting, gathered his team, prepared weapons, ammunition and supplies, and set out for the battle.

Not long after Zihada left, Wei Zhouquan continued: "The Roman legions will be handed over to Qihada and them, and I think that if the Roman legions do not return to attack the Western Regions in the short term, we don't need to face their threat for the time being." According to the original plan, our current target is a coalition of vassal states of the Roman Empire. Zhao Zhan, your troops, just do something around these coalition forces. I led my troops, went deep into their rear, and did some sabotage. The Shanying base is subject to first-class martial law, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering the base ......"

Zhao Bai led the 3,000 soldiers of the Anhua Legion of the Xinghua Army under his command to establish a camp on a high ground between Loulan City and Anhua City. This camp is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and even without any support, as long as the defenders are not defeated, it will not be a problem to hold on for several months. Moreover, Zhao Bai and they also used the mountain to build many strong fortresses. One fortress, four or five eye-catching, and a dozen soldiers guarding it, was enough to suppress hundreds of enemy troops.

The main function of the existence of this camp is to be firmly rooted like a nail. As long as the camp is not lost, Zhao Bai and the others can use this as the center, attack from all sides, and sneak attack the enemy near Loulan City. At the same time, it can also form a mutual support situation with Anhua City. As long as the camp remains, it will be impossible for the enemy to attack Anhua City with all its might, and it is necessary to leave an army behind for defense.

As for Lou Lancheng's defensive problem, Wei Siming and Zhao Bai are very clear about one thing, that is, Lou Lancheng cannot be defended.

In this regard, Wei Siming specially wrote a handwritten letter to Lou Lanwang in Lou Lan City. In the letter, Wei Siming invited Lou Lanwang to Anhua City as a guest, which was a more face-saving way to ask Lou Lanwang to hide in Anhua City temporarily. At the same time, Wei Siming also said in the letter that some Lou Lan people can be accepted to move in and accept asylum.

Not long ago, Lou Lanwang replied that he would be a guest in Anhua City.

In this way, even Lou Lanwang has lost confidence, how could Wei Siming and Zhao Bai be willing to try their best to help Lou Lancheng?

Wei Siming and Zhao Bai divided labor, and Wei Siming was responsible for placing personnel and arranging defense facilities. After Zhao Bai built the highland camp, he ordered a small group of troops to start armed patrols in the area west of Loulan City, knocking out the enemy's scouts and making the enemy not understand the battlefield.

In addition to armed patrols, Zhao Bai also set up several outposts for early warning.

Of these, the Westwatch Tower is the westernmost outpost, located in a wide plain area. As long as a large number of enemy forces want to enter the Loulan area, it is difficult to avoid the West Watchtower.

Because the watchtower was the closest to the Roman Empire and the most likely outpost to encounter the enemy first, Wei Siming did not hesitate to build a strong fortress by stinging with the cement in the city of Anwar. The entire western tower is centered with an oval tower that is eight meters high and surrounded by a five-meter high wall.

In the tower of the West Watchtower, a total of 100 officers and soldiers were stationed. These 100 officers and soldiers are all elite soldiers of Anhua City of the Xinghua Empire. Sergeant Wu Zhendong is the prefect of the West Watchtower, and is responsible for all affairs in the watchtower.

For the sake of these 100 officers, Zhao Bai was not stingy with weapons and ammunition, and gave 100 soldiers full armament, 30 submachine guns, 100 rifles, 100 pistols, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and hundreds of grenades......

One morning, the sun had just risen in the sky. Wu Zhendong took two soldiers and went up to the top of the tower to prepare for a shift change.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?" Wu Zhendong asked.

On the watchtower, the soldier in charge of the night shift smiled a little tiredly: "Sir, there is no situation. ”

Wu Zhendong nodded and ordered the soldiers on duty at night to go down to rest, and the other two soldiers took over and carried out sentry. After the handover was completed, Wu Zhendong did not rush downstairs, but took a high-powered telescope and looked around the tower.

Suddenly, Wu Zhendong found that in the east, there were bursts of yellow sand rolling and fluttering, obscuring the scenery.

"There is a situation!" Wu Zhendong said.

The two sentries were startled, and they also picked up their respective binoculars and looked in the direction that Wu Zhendong was facing.

After a while, Wu Zhendong and the two sentries both spotted the enemy troops.

"The enemy is coming, and everyone is ready to prepare for the first set of plans. Wu Zhendong shouted.

Then, outside the tower, the soldiers moved in an orderly manner.

More than 50 soldiers, climbing the wall, opened the safety of their guns and began to arm them.

Looking west, two snipers also came up from the roof of the tower.

The vassal states of the Roman Empire, the Moon Kingdom and the Tomb Kingdom were the countries that most supported the Roman Empire's invasion of the Western Regions and its surrounding countries. Therefore, these two countries also have the largest number of military forces.

The Yue Kingdom sent 20,000 troops, the Ling Kingdom sent 12,000 troops, and the remaining dozen countries, most of them were four or five thousand, and as few as five or six hundred, forming a coalition of 80,000 troops.

At the behest of Octavian, the Grand Prince of the Roman Empire, these coalition forces were to clear the garrisons around Loulan.

Now, an army of 5,000 men led by the little prince of the Moon Kingdom, as the vanguard army, broke into the Loulan region.

The army of the Moon Kingdom surrounded the West Watchtower, and the little prince instructed his subordinates to go and persuade Wu Zhendong to surrender to the West Watchtower.

Wu Zhendong not only refused to allow the envoy of the Moon Kingdom to enter the West Watchtower, but also told the little prince of the Moon Kingdom that he would resolutely not surrender and would defeat the invaders.

The little prince of the Moon Kingdom laughed, feeling that Wu Zhendong was extremely ridiculous. The little prince thought that the army of the Moon Kingdom was not only numerous, but also not badly equipped, and it was already a charity to give Wu Zhendong of the West Lookout Tower a chance to surrender. Wu Zhendong was reluctant to surrender, and the little prince of the Moon Kingdom was not impressed.

Since Wu Zhendong did not surrender, the little prince began to order his subordinate generals to lead the army of the Moon Kingdom to bulldoze the watchtower in the shortest possible time.

The sound of clattering horses' hooves sounded.

The archers of the Moon Kingdom attacked first, and they wanted to use their bows and arrows to break the morale of the soldiers in the Western Tower......

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer to the sentry tower, someone almost couldn't help but shoot and asked Wu Zhendong for instructions.

Wu Zhendong said: "Take aim first, but don't be in a hurry to shoot! Without my order, you are not allowed to shoot without authorization! If anyone scares the enemy away, I will kill him!"

Wu Zhendong's words calmed the soldiers in the West Watchtower, and everyone's nervous mentality slowly let go and became firm.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters....... Wu Zhendong watched the enemy army continue to approach, and his heart was also very nervous. However, he is a veteran, he participated in the last Loulan battle, and also killed Roman soldiers, he relied on military merits to be promoted to the rank of sergeant, not mediocre. Despite his nervousness, he was fearless.

The enemy cavalry entered a range of fifty meters and was about to bend their bows and shoot arrows, when Wu Zhendong shouted: "Fire!" (to be continued. )
