Chapter 644: Pivot (2)

The distance where the sound went, became ethereal, and then turned into the whimpering wind of the night.

The sound of the wind with the leaves rattling, by the river forty zhang is the square Roman military camp, within the high walls of the deep ditch, piles of bonfires burning, the swaying fire shines on the figure of the soldier patrolling, outside the fence linked by wooden stakes, the dug ravine has a gradual sound of water, a group of cavalry patrolling along the camp ditch, some people in the team stopped, looking at the depths of the nearby woods, except for the sound of leaves in the wind, there is no other movement, after a few glances, it is to leave, continue to patrol forward.

From the shrubs, a few pairs of eyes blinked, and then there was a slight rustling sound, among a few figures, someone tried to keep their eyes open and write down everything they saw, and soon, quietly retreated in the dark, covered up the place they had stayed, and then silently turned from the depths of the forest, turned over the top of a hill, flashed halfway up the mountain, and entered a cave.

There was no fire in it, and the fire was too obvious at night, and it was easy to be discovered by the cavalry patrolling the Romans, but at this time there was still a trace of fire, and the cave smelled of herbs, and in the innermost part, brocade silk and fur were mixed together, and the girl woke up from her slumber, and this was her third night in the cave.

The arrow wound on his back was still painful.

In the days when I was injured, I slept for too long, my head was groggy, I got up slowly, rubbed the rock wall and walked outward, there was a faint light at the end of the line of sight, and there were a few voices, as I approached, the silhouettes of several people were revealed, and the voices became clear.

"It's almost time for the chaos to end, the caravans are either moving closer to the Governor or already heading towards Ctesiphon, but we're embarrassed ......"

"Bo Yan, you just say how to do it!"

"Yes, if you don't get rid of the Great Qin people who are blocking the way, no matter whether you go to the west or east, you will be targeted by his cavalry, since they are all dead, just don't do anything, and do this Great Qin soldiers and horses, when have my Han people been afraid of these barbarians."

In the light, someone snorted: "It's easy to say, more than 10,000 people, and it's not a straw man, standing there waiting for you to kill, besides, we are a caravan, plus the courtyard and the Bingzhou cavalry are only about 3,000, how can we kill?!" Kill with your mouth?! ”

"Don't say a word, it's up to Bo Yan to arrange."

On the opposite side, a young man in a deep robe held up the lamp to illuminate the map spread out on the rocks, the ink stains on it had not yet dried, and it was obviously outlined, he gently held his white fingertips, his eyes kept scanning the Roman camp, and under the gaze of everyone, his lips opened lightly: "Fighting with the army of the Great Qin people in the field, it is impossible with our uneven manpower, and it is even more difficult to attack the military camp at night!" ”

The fingers at the corners of his mouth were taken out, and he drew on the periphery of the sketched simple barracks figure: "The barracks have four gates and a single bridge, there are ravines outside, the inside is spiked inside, and there are outposts inside and outside, patrolling each other, from the observation of the past three days, there is almost no interruption, Xun also found that the Daqin camp leads the living water into it, beware of the possibility of poisoning, and what is more interesting is that the living water is also quoted in the thatched houses of the Daqin people......"

"When is it, and you still say that these are useless, it is not okay to attack the camp, it is not okay to poison it, and you can't fight it in the field, so let's just stay in the mountains and wait for death."

Lu Xun rolled up the map, patted it in the palm of his hand, and looked at them with a smile: "Of course it's interesting." ”

At that moment, he whispered the plan in his heart to them, and everyone could only try it after thinking about it, some of them met later, and they didn't believe it very much, or the last person who was polite and scholarly dressed as a temporary leader was used, but after several times with this Roman army and horses, it was convincing.

"So what can Lingqi do?" The girl watched everyone walk out of the cave, and then slowly walked out of the cold stone wall.

Lu Xun went over and wanted to reach out to help her, but he still didn't dare, "You are injured, you should recuperate, and leave the rest to Xun." Turning around and walking out, at the entrance of the cave, he turned around and smiled softly: "...... help you avenge this arrow, don't be too grateful to me." ”

The girl laughed suddenly, and hurriedly tightened her face, "It's so dim, he shouldn't have seen it......" In the thought, the young man at the entrance of the cave had already left, looking at the lamp burning quietly on the rock, his beautiful big eyes blinked, and finally, after all, he followed out uneasily.

In the dark night, the stars and the moon shine the outline of the hills, the night birds spread their wings and fly through the cold light, under the half-round bright moon, the shadows of the forest and the fields touched the camp by the river in the distance, and soon, five branches were divided, and went to the direction of the four camp gates, one of which was hundreds of people with bottles and cans around their waists in the bowing and groping, bumping and clanging.

They bypassed the route of the patrol horse team, and even walked slowly along the waterfront, and when they saw the light of a few torches faintly in the distance, someone in the team whispered: "This is it, there are five Great Qin people guarding it, there is still an hour to change the guard, there is enough time, who will go?" ”

"Wang Qi, Chen Meng..... you come with me." It was one of the two hundred cavalrymen who had come to this team to speak, and the soldier called ten men, bowed down and hid his body in the shadow of the riverbank, avoiding the blind angle of the opponent's vision, and when he slowly approached, the three people behind him drew their bows and aimed at the figure holding the torch, and the other soldiers clenched the hilt of their swords, and their feet were still moving forward in the water.

The sound of the rattling is a little different from the sound of the water flowing downstream.

"Did you hear anything?" One of the Roman soldiers stationed at the mouth of the river noticed the subtlety, said a word to his companion, turned his head to look at the riverbank, and followed his companion with a torch, and at that moment the sound of strings sounded in the air.

The Roman foot soldier who had taken a few steps stopped abruptly, fell to the ground with a thud of the torch, and fell backwards clutching his chest, and the rest of the people reacted and were about to shout, when in the darkness on the other side of the river, the second and third arrows flew towards the soldier holding the torch, and shot him down.

At this moment, there was a sound on the surface of the water.

Seven figures with blades rushed up, slashing the remaining two with knives, and when the people in the rear team came, they saw a puddle of rotten flesh on the ground, and the caravan people covered their desire to vomit, and untied the bottles from their waists, and then poured them into the living water channel that flowed into the Roman barracks.

A moment later, the sound of a night owl chirping.

The sound of night owls echoed in the night sky, and from time to time there were sounds from several other directions, and then the soldiers standing at the mouth of the river sneered and threw the torches on the ground into the canal.

"Burn you Great Qin dwarfs!"

…….

The military tent in the center of the camp.

"The cavalry of the Serius, along with their merchants and craftsmen, is hidden in a few places in this mountainous area." The silhouette illuminated by the lights came out with a relaxed word, and the legion commander Ucusius put down the sheepskin map in his hand, "...... the people of Cylius can't fight, they will hide, now find out here, start the investigation tomorrow, search them all, and hang them all!" ”

As he spoke, the faint chirping of night birds sounded outside, which made him frown, but then he sensed that something was wrong, and walked out with the flag bearer and the 100 captain, and his eyes swept over the quiet barracks, and finally stopped at the east, his pupils constricted suddenly, and a firelight was rushing towards him like a fiery snake.

"Call the soldiers! Gather!!! ”

Ucusius roared out as he ran, and the flag officer beside him rushed to the camp with people, and the pool in the middle also spewed out flames at the moment when the figure ran by, and the whole legion commander was stunned there, and in his trance-like vision, several buildings connected to the underground underground canal also burst into flames a moment later, and some soldiers ran out on fire and rolled on the ground, and some even hugged their companions who ran by, and both were burned to death on the ground, and the thatched latrine at the end of the canal, the soldiers who were squatting on the edge of the pit were the last to find it, Halfway through, the flowing water with flames directly burned the bare buttocks, and it was too late to pull up the pants, and fled in a panic, but when I saw the scene, half of the entire camp was caught in the fire, and the night wind blew here, the flames rolled upside down, and more tents were also burned at this moment, and the dazzling firelight and choking smoke swept here.

"Organize the soldiers to rush out immediately!" Ukusius covered his mouth and nose, waved his arms and roared hysterically.

The chaotic and panicked soldiers didn't need orders at all, and they knew how to break through to the four gates, but what was waiting for them was the cavalry and caravan guards blocking the door, stubbornly guarding the dropped drawbridge, frantically brandishing the hilts of their swords, slashing iron spears at the flesh and blood, and arrows were also flying, shooting at the Roman soldiers who climbed the fence, and the people who were crowded on the bridges and wooden fences, falling down the ravine like dumplings, and those who were not dead wanted to climb up, and were chopped off by the guards guarding there with their fingers or whole palms, and then, the flaming water flowed into the camp ditch, A terrible scream came from inside.

If you look down from the sky, the burning ditch encloses the square camp from the outside, and the drawbridge soon collapses in the flames and the weight of the congested people....... the entire camp of 10,000 people is cut off from the road to the outside, and tens of thousands of people are caught in a huge sea of fire.

The cavalry and caravan guards who had stopped fighting outside avoided the scorching temperature, the Roman soldiers on fire frantically pushed against the sturdy fence, the blazing horses scurried in the crowd with a mournful roar, the smoke was covered and diffused by the wind, and the violent coughing and dust made it extremely difficult for people to breathe.

....... the people outside could hardly see inside, they swallowed their saliva, looked at the perpetrators over there, and recorded something with a smile, no one made a sound, and quietly watched as the fire continued to burn until dawn.

……

In the distance, the single rider followed the red light of the sky and flew away, the sky was shining, Lu Bu was already exhausted, he stood on the high ground, looking ahead, the green smoke was rolling, in the early morning sun was a huge black mottle, there was still a disgusting smell in the air, he knew what it was, but at the same time, he was relieved.

Below, there were also soldiers who spotted the comer, and they ran back excitedly to spread the news.

Soon, the people who set the fire gathered one by one with a smile, and the people of the caravan bowed their hands to Lu Bu who came over: "Wen Hou is here, you have missed a good show." ”

Lu Bu simply arched his hand in response, but his eyes swept through the crowd, and when he saw the Bingzhou cavalry under his command coming, he frowned and said, "What about Lingqi?" ”

"Back to Wenhou, Miss is injured ....."

"Daddy! Lingqi is here. ”

A crisp female voice came from the forest in the distance, and the slow figure led the curly-haired red rabbit out, and smiled at the man with a pale face: "My daughter has worried my father." ”

"It's good to be fine, it's good to be fine." Lu Bu's heart was put down, his face was somewhat tired, and on the other side, a young man dressed in ashes hurriedly stepped up to meet him: "Xun has seen Wen Hou." ”

Lu Bu saw that his daughter was not in serious trouble, so he looked at Lu Xun, and then looked at the Roman camp that burned black, "What did you do?" ”

"Yes." Lu Xun kept a smile on his face, and after all, he answered cautiously, only to see the tall figure over there suddenly come over, and he was a little panicked, he subconsciously covered his ass and took a step back, but what fell was a broad palm on his shoulder, and his body couldn't stand being shortened downward, which provoked Lu Lingqi next to him to cover his mouth and chuckle.

"Good job."

The majestic voice sounded in Lu Xun's ears, and Lu Bu turned around and waved his hand: "Call all the people who are hiding, it's time to go back, it's time for a big battle in the west." ”

Lu Xun let go of his hands from behind his buttocks, pushed his elbow on the girl's arm, and whispered, "How is it?" This fire is stronger than yours. ”

"Humph!"

Lu Lingqi slowly turned over and got on the horse, followed behind her father, and glared back at him: "If you have the ability, you can set a fire." Turning her head back, under the gently swaying red feathers, the corners of the girl's mouth hooked into a smile, which was to urge the curly-haired red rabbit to trot away from this side. The young man, who was stunned for a while, came back to his senses, but he slapped his face.

“…… It's so beautiful. He said with a grin.

*************

As the sun rose, and just as the group gathered their ranks and hurried westward, 12,000 foot soldiers on the Anatolian Eastern Mirror Front stepped through the hot land, and after resting for a day and contacting the Anxib and Dawan armies on both sides, they hurried non-stop.

"-I, Xiliangjun, am the head iron! The city walls can't stop it, let alone the barbarians! Guo Yan said this when he was resting, and pointed at the west with a knife: "Directly smash their bitch's raising, and rob all the valuable things!" ”

On June 27, with the brutality of the past, he crashed headlong into the arms of the three Roman legions surrounding Cao's army.
