During this time, Zhang Zeduan had been waiting for the news of the two Roman rebel armies outside, but there was no news from the other party. This made Zhang Zeduan a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but make up countless possibilities in his brain. And the night stalkers sent out two hours ago haven't come back until now. For these well-trained night owls, there is no one in the Sassanid Empire who can trap them, let alone threaten their lives. After all, they can catch up with them, but their martial arts are not as good as them, and those who are stronger than them in martial arts can't catch up with these night owls who are faster than rabbits. The Night Stalker was undoubtedly the safest person during the confrontation between the two armies at this time. On weekdays, they went out to inquire for information for only an hour, and the longest one only came back in an hour and a half.

But this uneasiness didn't last long, and when the time slowly came to four and a half hours, the night owls who went out finally returned here to report the situation to Zhang Zeduan:

The two Roman rebels outside had reached the periphery of the encirclement. They took a cursory count of the number of soldiers in the accompanying army, which was not much different from what the leaders of the two rebel armies had reported, and finally there was no need to cancel the plan of action again.

Zhang Zeduan, who got this information, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Even if you are a genius, revising your battle plan requires a lot of energy to think about and improve it. Tough as he is often headaches for the repeated changes in the battle plan, and has revised it too many times, until now even Zhang Zeduan himself does not know that the plan in his hand is the product of several versions, and now there is only one thought in his mind: that is, his plan finally does not need to be overturned and redone again.

Fast forward to the evening of the second day, when reinforcements from the Roman rebels arrived on the periphery of the encirclement. These Roman rebels relied on the guidance of the military lords who had been supported by Li Wenyuan, and avoided the various cavalry outposts of the Sassanid government army along the way. In addition, the luck of these Roman rebels is really good, such a huge target of more than 8,000 people really sneaked into this mountain system under the noses of the Sassanid Empire government army, and there was no danger in the outer few hidden cols of the encirclement, just waiting for the order from Zhang Zeduan inside the encirclement to arrive, and then immediately cooperate with the Roman rebels inside to attack, both sides launched an attack together, to attack inside and outside, and the center bloomed, Take this opportunity to catch the Sassanid Empire off guard.

It had been a day and a night since they arrived at the campsite. Because it was a latent camp, no open flames were used in the barracks, lest the rising smoke cause alarm and encirclement of the Sassanid government army, which in turn would cause unnecessary trouble. But in order to reward the Roman rebels who were rushing all the way, the accompanying cooks still tried their best to give these Roman rebels who were rushing all the way a full meal. The accompanying cooks took out the copper lunch boxes brought by the army, and then put various ready-to-eat foods prepared in advance, and then placed them in a pit covered with flint powder, and then took water on the spot and slowly poured it into the deep pit containing most of the flint powder. With the slow injection of clear water, the flint powder began to dissolve gradually, and then the water poured into the pit began to slowly bubble, and the bubbles gradually became more and more, and finally the water of the entire pit boiled. The rising water vapor was blown away by the mountain wind before it had risen much high. After the water in the whole pit gradually calmed down, he took out the copper lunch box that had been flooded with most of the water, and after opening it, the food inside had become a delicious delicacy, which could be called full of color, flavor and flavor.

The flint powder mentioned here is actually quicklime, which is a substance made by Li Wenyuan himself, which is specially used to heat food when the army or military owls and night owls are unable to make a fire and cook due to special reasons. Because the production is made by calcining stones, the name of calcium oxide and quicklime has not been recognized compared to what Li Wenyuan said, but the flint powder named after the production process has been widely spread and is well known.

After a full meal last night, the rebel soldiers returned to their tents one after another, and everyone rested peacefully for the whole day, at this time the exhaustion of yesterday evening had long since faded, and all of them were refreshed, and their morale had reached an unprecedented peak.

As the sun sets, the burning sunset dims, and the vast twilight envelops the entire forest. The cold moonlight shines through the clouds and spreads over the earth, and tonight is a perfect opportunity to attack the camp. Zhang Zeduan raised his head and stared at the layers of clouds in the night sky, secretly thinking in his heart. I saw that the clouds in the sky were blown by the wind and slowly drifted towards the southeast. Then the whole moon was hidden in the lead-colored clouds, and the sky and the earth were suddenly plunged into darkness, and the whole mountain forest was silent, and suddenly a few crows were heard to break through the hazy sky. The Roman rebels outside the encirclement took advantage of this period of dark clouds and began to move rapidly in the direction of the encirclement. After the dark clouds drifted by, these Roman rebels had already lurked with the help of pre-made camouflage props, and if they didn't get close and look closely in the dim moonlight, they wouldn't have found a lively soldier underneath the disguise.

Zhang Zeduan's side also came to the moment of life and death, whether it was Zhang Zeduan as a strategist or Heras Curt as the leader of the Roman rebel army, from the officers in the management to the soldiers who fought the battlefield, without exception, they all wanted to do their best to win the war. They were all slaves, and they had seen other slaves escape and then be captured, so they didn't think they would end up any better than those who escaped. So when it came to fighting, everyone worked very hard, and even if there was no prison army, no one thought of stealing and cheating. After all, it is a matter of their own net worth and life, and no one dares to be lazy in this matter, and in the end, they will gamble their lives in exchange for that minute or two of relaxation and happiness.

The Roman rebels and the Sassanid government forces soon became at war, and as time went on, the war became more and more intense. At the beginning of the battle, the Roman rebels on both sides of the encirclement launched a surprise attack at night, as Zhang Zeduan had planned before.
