Chapter 664: How to break the game

This strategy was already the best the Romans could come up with, and there was no need to waste their warriors, as long as they relied on some forces of nature.

If the Romans were facing any other force, they might have been on the road to victory at this time, but they were facing Han Xin and Xiang Yu, the combination of these two people was basically the strongest combination of generals in this era, if they couldn't see through this matter, it could only be said that the Roman consul's strategy was really a desperate strategy.

Indeed, when all the locals retreated to one place in an organized manner, although Han Xin and Xiang Yu could probably guess whether the enemy would have any back-up in that direction, they were not gods, and they didn't know much about this land, so they couldn't know what they wanted to know in the first place.

But Han Xin and Xiang Yu have clear minds, they know that in such a situation, you may not know what you should do the most, but there is one principle that will definitely not change, that is, if the enemy wants you to do it, you can do it.

What the enemy wants them to do, of course, is to follow the Romans to catch up, if Han Xin and Xiang Yu can't realize this, then their generals are really enough.

For the safety of his own team, Han Xin directly ordered that even if he killed some enemies less, he couldn't follow them too closely, in case Daqin's team couldn't react after something suddenly happened that they couldn't predict.

At the same time, Han Xin and Xiang Yu analyzed the possibility of the Romans almost every day, and they came to several conclusions, but then they overturned this conclusion in the process of sending troops to verify it.

And in the face of the bad news that Daqin's cavalry was chasing after them and they were catching up more and more slowly, the Roman consuls could only order the soldiers under their command to slow down and not make their intentions too obvious, so that if the men and horses of Daqin did not come to chase after them, but turned around and attacked the capital of the Romans, of course they could not die without help, right?

After ruling out many possibilities, on this day, when Han Xin and Xiang Yu were discussing this matter, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Han Xin's head.

"Just look, the reason why they fled over there and we could only chase after them was because they were very familiar with the terrain of this area, and they must have concluded that we were not familiar with this area, so we could only blindly chase after them, if we could find someone who was very familiar with this area, and ask what was wrong with the place where they led us, wouldn't it be very likely that we would know their ultimate purpose?"

Xiang Yu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said with some concern: "If the Romans don't want us to know what's there, they will naturally take some measures against the people along the way, if we want to find the people who are willing to tell us the truth, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!" ”

After hearing this, Han Xin snorted again, and muttered in his mouth: "If Jun Shang is here at this time, this will definitely not be any problem for him, Jun Shang once had a saying, called If you don't try, you don't know, you will be scared if you try, so we have to try it too." ”

Xiang Yu is naturally absolutely winning, although this is a little bit funny, but the truth is still very popular, and it is indeed a truth that he can recognize.

Now that the two of them have reached an agreement on this matter, of course, the next step is to send a team of soldiers to search the nearby mountains for the people on this land, and it must be the kind that has certainly not been discovered by the Romans.

Hard work pays off, or the famous quote from Yinggao's mouth quoted by Han Xin is really quite like that.

In less than a day's effort, the team came back from the deep mountains, and brought back a very strong Roman, Han Xin saw it, he knew that this person must have lived in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time, the kind of isolated from the world, this time it was found by the Great Qin soldiers who were not familiar with the terrain, they wanted to know something, just ask this person.

Han Xin's head, that is not comparable to ordinary people, in order to verify whether what he thought in his heart was right, Han Xin first asked this person a few questions about the Romans, and sure enough, he found that this person didn't even know who the current Roman consul was, of course, in order to prevent this innocent-looking guy from being deliberately put here by the Romans to deceive himself, Han Xin also asked him a few questions that were equivalent to brain teasers, until he confirmed that this person was indeed a genuine hunter living in this mountain, That's when I started to ask myself what I really wanted to know.

"Do you know where you can go north and destroy a large group of men without much effort?"

After asking this sentence, Han Xin stared at this person deadly, he believed that he must be able to tell if this guy was lying to him, if he couldn't tell this point, then all the experiences he had with Yinggao over the years had obviously become a waste of time.

"Doom? You're talking about the forbidden area that the hunters in our area don't care about stepping into, that swamp that doesn't know how big it is? ”

"Swamp?"

Han Xin and Xiang Yu, who were listening to this guy's words on the side, heard the words swamp come out of the mouth of the translator they carried, and their faces showed a very solemn expression, and they said in their hearts that this was really a trap set for them by the despicable and cunning Romans, if they didn't know that there was a swamp until they arrived at the swamp, then they would basically never know that there was a swamp there, until most of the sergeants were trapped in the swamp, and at that time, The enemy who was waiting for them to be sure would turn over and kill again, and if that time came, the situation would not be the same as it is now.

"Yes, the most terrible thing about that swamp is not the large swamp and miasma, we can pass through the swamp, but the elusive crocodiles and poisonous snakes in that swamp are the real death, even if we can't hunt the prey for a month, we won't try our luck there."

The hunter's advice was obviously very detailed, and it was equivalent to putting the mysterious plan of the Romans directly in front of the two of them.

Han Xin and Xiang Yu knew that it was finally time for the two of them to prepare to fight back, such a strategy, although it was like a layer of window paper between knowing and not knowing, but there was a world of difference between the inside and the outside.

"The fact that the Romans were able to come up with such a way to deal with us and others really doesn't match their arrogance all along!"

After learning about the plan of the Romans, Han Xin and Xiang Yu's hearts were relaxed for a while, and Xiang Yu even made such a joke, after all, with the minds of the two of them, they knew what this plan was all about, and they already had a settlement in their hearts when they dealt with it.

"Hmph, these people are arrogant, they are about to come to the end, and they want to use the swamp and wild beasts to wipe us out, this time I'm afraid they won't be so lucky."

Han Xin's eyes flashed with a fierce light, obviously thinking about how to deal with them......

The chase between the Great Qin army and the Roman army continued, although according to the reports of the generals behind, the Great Qin cavalry seemed to be much more cautious than before, but they had been following themselves to fight, which showed that the Great Qin people would definitely not know that they were taking them to a dangerous position.

Soon, the Roman cavalry was very close to the swamp, and the Roman consul was quite timid at the thought of following his army through this large swamp, he liked the feeling of controlling everything in his own hands, but now, apparently, he did not control everything in his own hands, but had to put himself in danger for a short time.

According to the plan of the Roman consuls, they found many people in the army and in the vicinity who had or recently crossed this swamp, and they were very familiar with this place, and they were all capable of crossing this swamp, so the Roman consuls wanted them to lead themselves and their warriors through this place.

According to his thoughts, after they passed safely, what awaited the Great Qin people would be a catastrophe.

After the soldiers of Great Qin were almost devoured by the swamp and the fierce beasts inside, they could return the same way and return to the capital of Rome to restore the national strength of Rome, in order to be able to destroy Great Qin after a period of time in the future.

The only problem for the Romans now is that they only have some dry food left with them, which will definitely not last long, but the Roman consuls also have very reason to believe that it will not take a day or two after they arrive, and the end of the Great Qin soldiers will come.

"The order is down, when we get close to the swamp, we must speed up and widen the distance between us and the Great Qin people, so that we can successfully pass through the swamp."

The Roman consul was still thinking about these details, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties to the soldiers under his command, after all, the remaining people were already all his belongings, and if he couldn't finally save these people, whether he could suppress the surrounding forces was another matter.

Soon, the swamp appeared in front of the Roman consuls, if it weren't for the reminders of those who were very familiar with this, the Roman consuls really wouldn't have seen that they were about to enter a large swamp, obviously this was a very good news for them, he seemed to have seen the soldiers of Daqin struggling in the swamp, and then being attacked by the surrounding poisonous snakes and crocodiles.

Led by experienced local people. The Roman warriors carefully began to pass through this swamp at the set time, according to the plan of the Roman consul, this matter wants to play the greatest role after all, the time for the soldiers of Daqin to arrive here is night, if it is daytime, at most one or two thousand people will fall into it, they must know that there is a swamp ahead, but at night when it is dark, things are not easy to say.

When Daqin's cavalry found out what was going on, they took advantage of the panic to kill back, and this war would definitely be over.

With such a beautiful idea, the Romans began their behavior of crossing the swamp, of course, although there are experienced people to lead the way, but this matter is not foolproof, in the process, there will still be people who step on the wrong place from time to time after falling into the swamp and not being able to get out, and there will be many people because the noise is a little loud, alarming the sleeping beasts around them, and then they are directly dragged down.

After a few hours, a large part of the Romans managed to reach the other side of the swamp, in the middle of a forest, but this grove was a dead end in this place, and they could not get out of the woods, and if they wanted to go back, they had to go back the way they came.

This night, as calculated by the Romans, Daqin's cavalry chased to the front of the swamp, but they, like the Romans, also stopped in front of the swamp, now that they knew about it, Han Xin and Xiang Yu naturally would not let one of the cavalrymen under their command die here for no reason.

Looking at the swamp in front of them, Han Xin and Xiang Yu looked at each other and smiled, because they had already tailored a plan for the Romans according to the terrain here, and at this time, it was obviously time for this strategy to be implemented.

"Shan Yu, we don't have to worry, whether this strategy can kill the Romans with one blow, it depends on whether this wind is the wind we want, when the wind comes, it will naturally be the time for the Romans to fall."

The wind that Han Xin said came in less than a day, and because of the season, the swamp was full of fallen leaves, and it was already dry leaves, although it was muddy underneath, but it was precisely because of this thick and large area of fallen leaves that people could not see the true face of this swamp.

The wind became stronger and stronger, and at this time, Han Xin and Xiang Yu gave an order, and a row of Daqin's sergeants walked to the front of the swamp, and in their hands were blazing torches.

"Put!"

After Han Xin's order, almost all the Great Qin cavalry threw the torches in their hands directly into the swamp in front of them, and threw them forward very hard.
