Chapter 241: The Battle of Talas (14)

"Report to the deputy commander, the Roman legions besieged in Tahras have just been attacked by the Han Chinese army. Looking from a distance from the periphery, the momentum of the Han army's attack this time was very strong. The Roman legions have also invested heavily in the defense of the camp, and by the time I return to deliver a letter to you, the two sides have fought many offensive and defensive battles, but they are still stalemate, but after all, the Roman legions are on the side of the numerical disadvantage, and it must not last long. The rest of our team is still there to keep an eye on the situation, and will send someone back to report back to you as soon as progress is made, just like I did. "A Sassanid soldier stood in front of the Sassanid deputy commander and told him what he had seen at the front.

"Do you see the momentum of those Han people's offensive this time, are they pretending to show us, or do they really want to completely destroy this Roman legion? Tell me everything you saw on the front line, and don't leave out a single detail. When the Sassanid deputy commander heard what the sentry said, he also hurriedly asked him.

"Because the Han army in the encirclement was well defended, they saw through our two successive infiltration plans. Fortunately, my men were able to escape from their encirclement, and now they only dare to watch the situation on the battlefield from afar, but there is no way to observe it closer. But judging from the sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield, as well as the number of people dispatched, both sides definitely put their main forces into this offensive and defensive battle. I also saw the Han Chinese army transporting a steady stream of wounded from the battlefield to the rear, almost blocking the roads they were using to transport supplies. Although the Romans in the camp said that they were still guarding their barracks, they were also extremely heavy in casualties, and almost half of the people on the defensive line had to fall in almost every round of attack. When the sentry heard the Sassanid commander's questioning, he told him in detail what he had seen and heard during his observation.

"Good. If that's exactly what you say, then it's time for us to do it at sunset. Don't go back to the observation post for now, I'll send extra people if I give them orders. You go and rest now, and then immediately gather the people scattered in the various hiding places to quickly gather to me, and prepare to take action against the Romans who have escaped today. If the Romans hadn't escaped, we would have taken advantage of the darkness of the night to make a detour to the north, bypassing the Han Chinese line at the Wuhu River, and joining the commander. The Sassanid deputy commander commanded decisively after listening to what the sentry had to say.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, several night owls were pulling their blades out of the throats of the dead Sassanids crushed beneath them, allowing their still warm blood to gush out of the gaps in their throats. Sprinkled into the earth beneath him, and then wiped the dagger haphazardly on the Sassanid clothes. After wiping the blood away, he put the dagger back into its scabbard, and finally returned to Ellie's side to return to her.

After listening to the report of her subordinates, Ellie came to Zhang Juntai's side with a smile on her face and said to him, "General Zhang, the secret agents left by the nearby Sassanids have been disposed of by us. The information that should have been seen by the Sassanids who had been lurking was also sent back by one of them. We can take a break for a while when we sing this play, and then it's time to prepare for the second act. ”

"Hmph. Just because of the words of your night owls, I asked tens of thousands of my brothers to go to the front of the two armies and take such a high risk to cooperate with you in a fake show, do you know that as soon as your upper lip touched the lower lip, a dozen of my men completely lost the ability to continue fighting? If these dozen or so people are not able to retire because of disability, can you afford this responsibility? Zhang Juntai said with some displeasure at this time, he knew that not only was he acting on his side, but the Romans inside were also willing to sing this duet with him under Ellie's persuasion. Therefore, it seemed to be a very fierce attack, but the muzzles of the Western Regions army on the attacking side were all raised and shot into the sky, and there was no momentum but no casualties were inflicted on the Romans; The Romans on the defending side reciprocated by shooting all their arrows as far as possible, in the land through which the attacking troops passed. But there are always some unexpected situations that make people not prepare in advance. Some of the Western Regions were disabled when they accidentally slipped off the ladder and fell to the ground while climbing the wall of the Roman barracks.

"We night owls are also very sorry for these accidents. But at this time, for the sake of the overall situation, some people still need to make certain sacrifices, and after this battle is over, I will personally explain this situation to the master mother, and she will ask the chief for these people to take credit. Although they cannot receive generous pensions like those who died in war. But at least they are still alive, and the compensation given to them by the governor will certainly ensure that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. And don't you know the nature of the manager? Even if I don't tell him, and if the Master Mother doesn't tell him, after you write down the cause and effect of this matter in detail and deliver it to the governor, he will definitely inquire into the matter himself. So having said that, after all, I came to the Western Front to deal with these things with the permission of the master mother, and the master mother came to this conclusion after consulting with the head manager, so if General Zhang felt that this matter was not handled properly, he could directly go through the corresponding procedures to report the matter to the head manager. I'm sure the governor will give you an explanation that will convince you, but now I ask the general to give the order to stop the attack, let the Romans come out, and let those who should stay as your exploits, and let those who should break through stubbornly let them break through stubbornly. The rest is up to the Warlords and Night Stalkers to do the rest, and as for the army, you can move them to the defense line of the Wuhu River. In the present occupied territories, there was no other resistance except for the Turks, who had surrendered and were ready to defend themselves. After listening to Zhang Juntai's words, Ellie was neither humble nor arrogant and once again raised Li Wenyuan as her shield. At the same time, after finishing speaking, he turned around and left directly, leaving Zhang Juntai with no chance to refute.
