As the night darkened, Zhang Yang lay on the wooden plank of the cart.

The man is dead.

The armor was pulled off, and he was naked, with bruises on his face and chest, and a wound from his neck to his chest was deep to the bone, and the blood that came out of it stained half of his body, condensing a layer of blood in the night wind.

Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Dian Wei and other more than a dozen generals stood around, and in the middle, Gongsun Zhi looked at the corpse on the wooden board silently and pursed his lips. There was a bonfire burning in the camp, reflecting the faces of every soldier who had arrived to reinforce him, and the Roman who had been the messenger stood there unsettled, surrounded by unkind eyes, and the swaying tip of the knife seemed to be aimed at him, even if he was calm and composed, he was a little frightened.

Occasionally, a bandaged figure ran out of a nearby tent and ran to the plank of the cart, limping on one leg, stumbling over, kneeling, gritting his teeth and muffling his voice, silently opening his mouth, and slamming his forehead on the ground.

"Uncle Zhi, I hurt you"

After all, he couldn't hold it back, let out a low cry, tears flowed out, his forehead hit the ground, and he smashed the dirt with a fist: "...... It's the one who hurt you...... I shouldn't be in a hurry...... It shouldn't be. ”

Another punch smashed on the ground, his forehead was pounding, and he was dripping with blood, Hua Xiong stared at the old brother, a little unbearable, and wanted to go up to be pulled by Zhao Yun next to him, his eyes were indifferent, he looked at the figure kowtowing on the ground, and his voice was cold: "Greedy for merit, it is not only Zhang Yang who is killed, but also nearly 10,000 brothers, and the death is light." ”

Hua Xiong sighed and stepped back. Recruit from Jizhou here, what kind of character he also knows, he is young to be a cavalry commander, naturally he will get carried away, or too proud, if according to Zhang Yang's previous command of the soldiers and horses and fight and go, use the defense to drag them over, everything will be different.

“.…… Take a set of armor and come with a Han flag. ”

The back, which had been silent for a long time, said the first sentence of the night at this time, the back moved, turned around, Gongsun Zhi stared at the crying trick at his feet, and said to the generals: "Uncle Zhang Zhi is not a subordinate of Gongsun Zhi, but Zheng Zheng Hanchen, who was martyred for the country, I will be the court and the marquis!" His family is small, and he is supported by me in Shanggu County. ”

When he took a deep breath, a soldier came over with armor and a Han flag, and waved his hand, "Put it on for General Zhang, cover it with the Han flag and bury it, my Han general, you should leave with dignity, and transport him to the clouds tomorrow for burial, which can be regarded as a fallen leaf to return to the roots." ”

"One more thing."

After a while, Gongsun Zhi took out a plain silk from his arms, stood for a while, and threw it in front of the crying Zhao, "Zhang Yang saved you with his life, you can find a way to hand it over to Lu Bu yourself, and it can be regarded as repaying this favor that can never be repaid." ”

It was a blood book stained with mottled blood.

He wiped away his tears, reached out and grabbed the letter written with pen and ink and blood, and kept looking at the corpse covered with the Han flag...... Next to him, Gongsun Zhi left with his hands behind his back and walked into the big tent, Dian Wei grabbed the Roman envoy and dragged him in, regardless of the other party's struggle and shouting, entered the tent curtain, threw it to the ground lightly, and sat down with the first side of the double halberd.

"What are you bringing this man in?" Gongsun Zhi looked at the giant man next to him, "How can he enter the big tent here?" ”

Immediately, he stared at the figure who got up and waved his hand: "Drag it out and kill it." ”

Stephanie and Gerald were stunned, and when the woman hurriedly got up and learned the etiquette of the Han people, over there, Dian Wei had just been scolded, with a black face, he poured his anger on the Roman messenger, and dragged the other party straight out of the big tent, and there was a scream outside, and in a moment, he strode in with a bloody head.

"My lord, people killed."

"Tie the body and head to the back of the horse he rode on, and let the horse carry it back, which can be regarded as my greeting to the general of the Great Qin army."

"Yes!" Dian Wei picked up the human head and turned away again.

Stephanie looked at the back of the leaving, bit her lip and looked at the domineering figure opposite, and said in Chinese: "Gongsun, you can use that messenger to do some false news...... There is no need to kill him. ”

The night wind roared outside the tent, and Gongsun Zhi leaned on the big chair with a stern gaze: "Killing my Han people and sending the corpse over is a humiliation for us...... So there's nothing to talk about. ”

"He thought that he had defeated thousands of soldiers under my command, so he thought that there was no one in the big man? If you don't stay in the West, you should come here to spread wild, so that he can understand how the Easterners fight. ”

Gongsun Zhi got up, dressed in a fox fur, with built-in armor, and set off his might, beckoning the cavalry of the Xiliang horse family to come into the big tent, "Where are your horses now?" ”

"Returning to Gongsun Thorn History!" The cavalryman half-knelt and bowed his hand: "The young lord of my family is camped more than twenty miles southwest of here, monitoring the camp of the Great Qin soldiers and horses, and I have the shape and layout of the enemy's camp drawn in my hand. ”

As he spoke, Li Ke took a piece of cloth silk from his hand and handed it over, Gongsun Zhi took it and unfolded it on the long case, glanced at it a few times, and passed it to the generals below, and swept everyone with an expressionless face: "How is the camp of Daqin?" ”

"Back to the lord, there are only two gates, and trenches and spike fences have been dug on all sides, all square, there is no problem in defense, and it can completely avoid cavalry night attacks." Li Ru passed the cloth silk down in the first place on the left, raised his eyes, and smiled: "Once you attack with fire, you can't escape if you want to." ”

"Fire attack?" Gongsun Zhi said, his fist slammed on the long case, "You can also add the strategy of fatigue, after a battle, it is inevitable that you will be tired and want to rest, that can make them get their wish, this group of Great Qin people met Zhang Yang, a righteous gentleman, now it's our turn." ”

This group of legions from Rome, he already knew the general situation from Stephanie's mouth, in terms of personal physique, these people do have merits, big shields, javelins are also very good to restrain cavalry, but they don't know that the war in the East is not a dignified duel, but more attention is paid to the use of tactics and strategy.

More than 10,000 Roman soldiers want to kill all the dignified fronts, obviously they will pay too much price, the loss will only make people's hearts ache, Gongsun Zhi knocked on the handrail, and after a while, let the Xiliang cavalry go back with the agreed message, which is to make the decision......

The barracks began to move.

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

The camp facing the river to the west, the largest tent in the center was burning, and Freitensis could not sleep peacefully after eating the supper he had stolen from the camp of the Cylius, and from time to time there was the sound of footsteps and the cacophony of people of joy, and farther away from the unknown chirping of night birds.

During the day, he had finally eliminated the stubborn and recalcitrant army of the Cyrius, but then reinforcements appeared from all directions, and he felt a little anxious, and as the supreme of an army, such uneasiness could not be expressed in any way in front of his subordinates.

Tossing and turning, he uncovered the blanket and walked out of the camp tent, the trumpeter blew the horn of the camp, and the figures with the bonfire began to return to their respective tents, Frithexis rubbed his forehead, and summoned the battalion commander: "Strengthen the night defense, the army of Cylius has been drawn over, beware of them attacking the camp." ”

As he spoke, the voice of a soldier sounded chaotically on the other side of the camp gate, Freitensis frowned, led the guards and the battalion commander and a team of soldiers, and approached only to find that outside the closed camp gate, the sound of horses' hooves sounded slowly in the darkness, and there was a person sitting on it, staggering towards this side.

When they got closer, someone threw torches on the watchtower, and in the dim light, they could vaguely see a headless corpse sitting on horseback, with a brown-yellow hair hanging from the horse's neck, which startled several Roman soldiers guarding the door, and Freitensis hurriedly asked people to come over and bring in the corpse and the horse, which was the messenger he had sent before.

"Commander, won't the Celelius be good?" The battalion commander said.

In the distance of the night, the sound of a wolf howling was heard.

"Cheer up the soldiers on night and be alert to any movement outside." Freitensis did not answer directly, and asked the corpses and horses to be taken down, and turned and walked back: "....... The soldiers need to rest, and in any case, everything will have to wait until dawn to know the answer. ”

Another wolf howl came, and he frowned and stopped, turning his head to look at the night outside: "When I was stationed here, it didn't seem that there were any wolves. ”

Soon, however, the roaring sound of horses' hooves sounded in the night, rumbling from a distance, Freitensius's face sank, and he hurriedly let the trumpeter blow the horns to meet the enemy, and the whole camp exploded, and countless figures quickly drilled out of the tent, neatly dressed in armor, and took their weapons, and the huge roar of horses' hooves spread from all around, farther and farther away......

The Roman soldiers, armed with weapons and even shields, had blank looks on their faces, and on the watchtowers, vigilant archers waved torches to signal that there was no enemy.

Freitensis frowned, fell into silent thought, and after a while, the night was quiet only the sound of the wind and the breathing of ten thousand people, not even the sound of small footsteps, and it was terrifying.

"Half of them are sleeping, and half of them are hiding in tents in armor." His head was swollen and aching at the moment, and he couldn't figure out what kind of thoughts the Celelius had in mind, so he had to arrange it for the time being, and then find the remaining four legion commanders to come to his camp to discuss.

"Don't the Orientals want us to sleep?"

"You can wait and see."

"No matter what, the soldiers have to get a good rest."

"Send cavalry out to search for ......"

Freitensis shook his head and rejected the proposal: "The cavalry of the Celeus is outside, and our cavalry will only be killed if they go out." ”

While discussing countermeasures, the earth shook again, the sound of horses' hooves outside came suddenly, the five of them hurried out of the tent, a large number of soldiers around them all came out, the sound of the cavalry only lasted for a moment, and gradually faded away, the tall and brave Aulus smashed an axe on the ground: "The commander told me to go out and ambush." ”

“.…… No, they're just a bunch of people who don't dare to fight head-on, so they scare us. As if thinking of something, the corners of his mouth curled, and he laughed: "The camp has a wide and deep trench and a sharp fence, and the cavalry can't rush in at all, so they can only harass, what a cunning Cylius." ”

"The order, the previous order remains unchanged, half of the people rest, the other half is on alert, don't panic when you hear the movement, and then rotate in the middle of the night. The sound of horses' hooves again, and you can't come out until it's really close. ”

When the order was passed down, many Roman soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and the people who had been assigned to sleep first happily went back to their tents, and soon began to snore. Freitensis also dismissed his generals, returned to the tent, covered himself with a blanket and sat for a while, and before long the sound of the horses' hooves came again, and hurried away.

There was a look on his face, and then he closed his armor and lay down, and the camp fell silent.

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

The night is quiet and deep.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance came back again, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Gao Sheng and the others looked at the quietly silent camp of the Great Qin people, raised their arms, and the wolf rider behind them slowly moved towards that side, the longbow turned out and pulled up, and there were flames that ignited the oilcloth wrapped in arrows, and the whole black area converged into a sea of fire.

When the Roman soldiers on the watchtower saw this scene, their scalps tingled and hurriedly blew their whistles. Outside the camp, Dian Wei pulled up his longbow and looked up to the sky, "Da Qin dog, don't sleep, get up and pee-"

In the air, patches of tremors of bowstrings filled.

The whistle hovered over the camp, and the moment Freitensis got up sharply, and the moment he lifted the blanket and rushed out of the tent, he felt that the world was different, and when he looked up, the raging flames in his eyes formed a sea of fire, and fell from the sky—

Buzz Buzz Buzz ...... His mind was a mess at this moment.
