Chapter 356

Zhang Zeduan's arrangement was aimed at completely breaking through the encirclement formed by the Sassanid government forces through one or two major battles, and then through this breach, the Roman rebels who had been divided on both sides of the encirclement could be brought together. In this way, even in terms of numbers, the Roman rebels would not be too far behind, and with the arrival of the rest of the Roman rebels, they might even form a counter-encirclement circle, encircling the Sassanid government army, which was originally hunters, and turning them into prey.

Heras Curt was sitting in the council hall at this time, watching Zhang Zeduan in front of him naturally give orders to his generals, almost completely ignoring his own existence. And those generals didn't seem to think there was any problem, and they all obeyed Zhang Zeduan's orders unconditionally. The scene in front of him made Heras Curt's heart flash a strange feeling, but this uncomfortable feeling was fleeting, so fast that Heras Curt himself did not capture the dark thoughts of that moment. At the same time, he himself also knew in his heart that this was not the time to care about these things, Zhang Zeduan's orders to his subordinates were also for himself, for the sake of everything that the entire Roman rebel army was doing now, in the final analysis, these things were for the survival โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”of two words.

After Heras Curt figured this out, he stopped paying attention to Zhang Zeduan, he was afraid that his attention would make the intelligent and demonic Zhang Zeduan feel the dark thoughts in his heart. Heras Curt sat down in a chair in the chamber with her eyes closed, and after a while she fell asleep without paying attention. When he woke up leisurely, just in time for Zhang Zeduan to send the last general in the room, Heras Curt looked around, and found that no one noticed that he had just fallen asleep, so he quietly sat up straight, slightly tidied up his clothes that were a little messy because he was leaning on the chair, and finally quietly stretched out when people were not paying attention. After a long pause, Heras Curt moved slightly, and the joints on his body crackled.

At this time, Zhang Zeduan had just sent out the last general in the room, and then he heard a noise behind him, and quickly turned around and bowed to Heras Curt and said, "Curt, I have arranged all the defensive arrangements that should be made, and those generals will set off directly with the soldiers after returning to their barracks." After they reached their intended position, with the easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain, they would never attack unless the Sassanid government army had been hiding some special secret weapon that had not been revealed. Our army is no worse than the Sassanid government, and even if they were five times our strength, they would never be able to break through that line. โ€

After listening to Zhang Zeduan's words, Heras Curt nodded, leaned back on the back of the chair slowly, and suddenly sat up straight as if he remembered something, and asked Zhang Zeduan: "To arrange such a line of defense, the number of troops invested should not be too small." We only have 10,000 men at our disposal, and if we devote so many troops to defense, how can we cooperate with friendly forces outside the encirclement to launch a charge against the encirclement? Once the number of attackers is insufficient, the Sassanid government forces in the encirclement can first carry the attack of the two Roman rebels outside, choose to destroy us first, and then turn their guns to the two Roman rebels outside the encirclement. At that time, not only will we and these 10,000 troops be wiped out here, but the two Roman rebels who came to support will probably also be here. โ€

Zhang Zeduan listened to Heras Curt's concern, showed a meaningful smile to him, and said to Heras Curt confidently: "I have taken into account what you just said, you don't have to worry too much, there is an ancient saying in our Central Plains that soldiers are noble but not expensive. This time there are too many people involved in the war, which will only disrupt the implementation of the whole plan, and you know that the Sassanid Empire has far more government troops than we are, and if we want to break through the encirclement or even defeat them, we can only use this dangerous method to win, and the method I proposed has a very low margin for error, and the slightest mistake will wipe us out. Putting too much manpower into it will only increase the chances of making mistakes, and more mistakes mean that we are getting further and further away from victory. Therefore, the soldiers in charge of attacking the encirclement government army this time are the elite of 3,000 men selected by me after many days of careful selection. These 3,000 men, in terms of loyalty and combat ability, are fully capable of reaching the intensity required for this campaign. It can also be said that the existence of these 3,000 people, combined with the strength of the two Roman rebel armies outside the encirclement totaling more than 8,000 people, can completely allow us to make up a point of more than 10,000 soldiers to attack the encirclement. If this is the case and it is not easy to take, then it is better for us to directly raise the white flag tomorrow and surrender to the army of the Sassanid Empire opposite. โ€

Heras Curt understood Zhang Zeduan's humor, so he chuckled and said to him: "If there is a day, then I will put you in white clothes, tie you to the top of the flagpole, and then stretch you out of the wall and surrender to the enemy troops on the opposite side." As long as you can get off the flagpole alive, it means that the enemy army on the opposite side still has the intention of negotiating. If you are shot by the enemy on the opposite side like the cacti that you often see in Egypt, then it is said that the enemy on the other side has no intention of making peace. We'll save a lot of waste. โ€

After Zhang Zeduan listened, Heras Cotter glanced at each other and laughed in unison. For the two of them, the pressure of this battle far exceeded that of the various wars they had experienced before. Far from it, just talking about this encirclement breach, once their plan fails, then the only thing the Roman rebels trapped in it can do is to hold out until the food runs out, and then take the initiative to lay down their arms and surrender to the Sassanids on the opposite side. The only fate of the surrendered Romans was to be relabeled as slaves and sold in the market.

Moreover, within the Sassanid Empire, the punishment for such defectors was extremely severe, except that after being cut off from their brothers, they were sent to do the hardest work, in which the expected life expectancy was only about half a year.
