Chapter 231: The Battle of Talas (4)

The moonlight was like a wash, Zhang Juntai, Ellie and the Roman soldier took advantage of the night to set off from the camp of the Western Regions Army, and then quickly crossed the buffer zone of the confrontation between the two armies under the cover of night, and came to the camp of the Roman legion. Zhang Juntai also followed the spies to explore the military camps of the Sassanians and Western Turks who were facing each other, and although those military camps were invulnerable for a short time, they were not completely flawless. Zhang Juntai was confident that as long as he was willing to spend some time, he would definitely be able to find the flaws in those army camps to provide opportunities for night attacks. But on the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops are confronted, such a flaw is very flawed at this time. Even if a night attack can be successfully launched, then the reinforcements of the attacked side will be able to support it early before the victory or defeat of the battle is decided, and the side that launched the night attack will be in a disadvantageous situation at that time. So now, even if he was given a great opportunity, Zhang Juntai did not order his army to launch a single night attack on the enemy camp.

"Is there no place in the vicinity where you can get a complete view of the Roman legionary camp? Here you can only see the tall camp walls, and everything behind the camp walls has to be guessed out of thin air, or is it to listen to the words of you, the newly subdued guard? Zhang Juntai and his party were hiding in a shadow not far from the Roman legion camp at this time, Zhang Juntai frowned and looked at the Roman legion camp opposite, and asked Ellie with some displeasure.

"Our general asked you if there is any place in the vicinity? Can you see the whole picture of the Roman camp in front of you? He wanted to be able to see with his own eyes the whole situation in the Roman barracks. Ellie relayed Zhang's words to the Roman soldier.

"Although we are now slaves of the Sassanids, the question of how to march and camp is deeply engraved in our bones. This camp has been carefully selected by the most experienced veterans of our army, and even if there is a place with a panoramic view, it is absolutely impossible to see the specific situation in the camp. If the general wanted to see it with his own eyes, there was no other way to observe the entire barracks unless he could enter the barracks himself. When the Roman soldier heard Ellie's question, he said to Ellie with a proud face.

After listening to it, Ellie translated the words of the Roman soldier to Zhang Juntai as they were. After hearing this, Zhang Juntai shook his head, didn't pay attention to the Roman soldier anymore, but looked directly into Ellie's eyes and asked her: "We came back to visit the Roman barracks at night, it can be said that we are doing a dangerous thing of pinning our heads to the waistband of our trousers, so we can't be careless at this time." Or do you now feel like you can gamble your life with the words of this Roman soldier? ”

"I certainly wouldn't risk my life on this so recklessly. I didn't come here tonight because of his presence on the spur of the moment. The reason why I brought him here was purely my own whim. The reason why I dare to come to the camp of the Romans at night today is not in him, but in the people in the camp. After Ellie said to Zhang Juntai, she looked up at the moonlight in the sky, and at the same time roughly estimated the current time in her heart.

"The people in the camp? Why, you night owls have already put your hands into the Roman barracks? If you talk about the vassal states around the Central Plains, it's not surprising that you night owls can infiltrate and lurk in them. After all, there is not that much difference in appearance and form, but if you want to infiltrate the ranks of the Romans, you will probably be discovered as soon as you enter. As soon as Zhang Juntai heard Ellie's words, he asked with some surprise.

"Diving into Asian countries is naturally done by people of Asian ethnicity. But since many of the Romans were slaves within the Sassanid Empire, they could still be bought and sold for money. If you want to buy a slave and make him loyal to you, the cost is the lowest, after all, you just need to give them the corresponding freedom. There are a few Romans in the barracks this time who are a secret chess piece that we have planted in advance, but we didn't expect to use it here. It's almost time now, so let's get ready. Soon after, when the barracks gate in front of me is opened, you can just keep your heads down and walk forward after me. Don't worry about anything else, or you'll be responsible for the consequences if something happens. After Ellie finished speaking, she immediately began to prepare for the camp.

Seeing Ellie's confident look, Zhang Juntai frowned this time and didn't continue to ask questions, but instead began to reconfirm that the weapons hidden in his body were not loose and loose, and waited quietly for Ellie's order on the side. Only the Roman soldier looked at the two people in front of him, and he was stunned in a daze. It wasn't until he heard Ellie say a few words to him in Roman that he reacted, and nodded to show that he understood what Ellie meant.

Time passed minute by minute, just when Zhang Juntai was also waiting a little anxious. Ellie, who was next to her, stared at the door of the Roman camp on the opposite side and whispered, "Okay, we can go in." Remember to go in for a while, and don't talk no matter what happens. If they were allowed to hear Chinese, I am afraid that the three of us would be shot to death on the spot. ”

After Ellie finished speaking, she stood up from the shadows without hesitation, and strode towards the gate of the Roman barracks.

Looking at Ellie's distant back, Zhang Juntai straightened the Roman helmet on his head and took two steps, stepped forward and followed Ellie's footsteps tightly, and followed Ellie's side by side with the Roman soldiers, walking in the direction of the Roman barracks.

As agreed in advance, Zhang Juntai also lowered his head and stared at Ellie's heels when he was approaching the camp gate. The group of three walked into the Roman barracks in silence, and the Roman soldiers guarding the camp gate did not ask too much questions, and after all three of them entered the barracks, they slowly closed the camp gate again.

Hearing the sound of the camp gate closing behind him, Zhang Juntai's heart shivered for no reason. Trying to observe the situation around him with his peripheral vision, he secretly thought about how he would get out of the event of an accident. However, although he was thinking like this in his heart, he did not hesitate at all, and still followed Ellie's footsteps closely.
