The sky was completely dark, there were no stars and moons, and from time to time the roar of wild beasts could be heard in the whimpering wind.

In the silent field, the occasional squeaking sound came from afar, gradually becoming clear, the silhouette of a figure walking in the black, then the chariot, and then more people also came, this is a scattered team, in the chaos of the attack, and the darkness is difficult to discern the direction, and I don't know where it went.

A figure on horseback separated from the group with a few people, and the sound of insects in the grass stopped abruptly, and small words came out from several people.

"Gongsun Dudu's side must be under siege, Bo Yan, we can't just go on...... Or wait until dawn to return to Ctesiphon, who is a resting man, and then join up with the rest of the caravan. ”

"yes...... At dusk, the battle came too suddenly, and I don't know what happened to the others. ”

"I think so too, it's better to return to Ctesiphon to wait and see the situation first, and then make plans."

"Don't talk about it yet, listen to what Bo Yan said, this time I was able to get out of the chaos, thanks to ........"

As the man spoke, the other three looked at the young man dressed as a scholar on horseback, who came down and arched his hand towards everyone: "It's getting late, wait a while to find a dense forest, let everyone rest first, as for whether to return to Tai Xifeng or find the main force of Gongsun Dudu to meet, everything will be discussed after dawn." ”

The voice seemed weak, after all, it had experienced a test of life and death, for people who had never been on the battlefield, just seeing the scene of flesh and blood flying, their hands and feet would be weak, not to mention that they had to retreat from this sudden battle, Lu Xun raised his hand towards them: "Let's plan to do so for the time being, it's just that this time Gongsun Dudu was defeated a little strange..... on the way, sometimes I saw scattered grassland people fleeing, but I never saw our Han people, so everyone is not busy making decisions first." ”

At this time, Lu Xun suddenly stopped speaking, put his finger between his lips, and the four people also quieted their voices, and the team that was still walking also became strange at the same time, and in the dark night, there was a faint sound of weapons colliding, mixed with the sound of people fighting.

Lu Xun frowned and listened for a while, then raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction: "Over there, there is a battle at this time, and one of the parties must be under the command of Gongsun Dudu." ”

"Dahetian, let's not get involved."

Over there, the young man shook his head: "If our side is in a bitter battle, if we can save one person, we will retain one more combat power, if the enemy is weak, we can also take advantage of the situation to kill it, and show our faces in front of the governor, it is a good deal, what do you say?" ”

"Then let's go..... if you see something wrong, it's better to evacuate quickly."

After the discussion, they each returned to their own team, gathered the guards and hired Qiang people, Lu Xun even distributed some Roman and Greek armor and weapons to them in the two chariots, there were 100 sets, after wearing, Lu Xun carried a Han sword with more than 300 people and touched it in the direction of the fight, and when he was halfway there, he could already see the light of the torch shaking in front of him, and the sound of shouting and killing came clearly, and within the range of the firelight, it was all running horseback figures, and the chaotic and intertwined fighting.

"I'd love to hear Chinese...... And the state accent, is a Wenhou person. ”

Lu Xun crouched in the grass at the front, vaguely heard the shouting, slowly retreated, and summoned the leading guards: "Save them, I have a chance to ......" The voice was lowered, and the caravan guards nodded after listening, and scattered to the left and right with their respective hands, and prepared to go.

Ahead, the cavalry intertwined and cross-fertangle, after all, it was night, at first both sides did not dare to let go of the fight, shooting arrows at each other, occasionally touching hand-to-hand combat to fight a few knives, but soon, when a female voice came out of the black, almost all the cavalry who participated in the battle suddenly became tyrannical, as one of the few elites of the Western Expeditionary Army, although the number was small, but they had never been afraid to fight, at this time, one by one did not want to fight towards the Roman cavalry that was twice as many as them.

Even if the other party wants to collect troops at this time, it has become very difficult to find it.

In the dim firelight, the melee running on the field gradually spread and expanded, almost half an hour later, the Roman cavalry felt a little wrong, their eyes swept into the distance, hundreds of firelight mixed with the shouts of people were coming towards this encirclement, he hurriedly stopped the horses, "Reinforcements from the Cylius?!" ”

Then, riding the horse's head, he gave an order to the knight holding the dragon's head banner: "Blow the trumpet, let the warriors who fought to return, and the reinforcements of the Serius have arrived." ”

The scattered and fighting iron cavalry of Bingzhou also followed the team, looked at the reinforcements running over, and saw that there were only three hundred guards and a team composed of many Qiang people, and they couldn't help but be a little shocked, in the crowd, the young man led by him walked out and bowed his hand to the cavalry on the horse: "I don't know if Wen Hou can be in the team, we are waiting for the caravan from Jiangdong, and the east was attacked by the Great Qin people, and the big team was separated." ”

"Wen Hou is not here...... But Wen Hou's daughter ....."

The lieutenant was talking, and among the cavalry who surrounded him, someone shouted: "Miss is injured, come and bandage it with medicine!" Hearing the voice, the captain ignored Lu Xun and the others, and hurriedly rode his horse and ran back, and soon after, the young man stepped on his feet and saw a girl with a red cloak and a bronze beast wearing two armors lying on the back of the horse, with an arrow stuck in her back.

"Lingqi ......" Lu Xun shouted, and hurriedly bowed his hand to the surrounding soldiers: "My caravan is nearby, there is a carriage and wound medicine." ”

The lieutenant looked at him and nodded in agreement.

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

On the battlefield of the southern line of Assyria Province, the bonfire burned, making a slight sound, the wounded soldiers around them groaned in a low voice, filled with herbs and bloody gas, after several chaotic battles, the army was hit by the defeated Xianbei cavalry, two thousand Jiangdong cavalry killed and wounded hundreds, Jingzhou foot soldiers, archers also folded more than 1,000 people, of which 200 people can no longer fight, after tossing and turning a few circles to fight and break through, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Huang Zhong and others, who are unfamiliar with the geographical environment here, almost lost their way without the reference of Xingyue.

The march was not until the second half of the night, when it began to rest on the spot.

Sun Ce sat under a rock and nibbled on a dry and hard milk cake, which was newly made by the Han Dynasty people here, he liked this taste, and bought a lot of dry food for the march, but now he eats it, but his mouth is full of blood, and his teeth chew hard: "There is no reason for this battle to be lost..... Xianbei is also a fool." ”

"This matter is indeed a bit strange, but the Great Qin Emperor has the courage to put so many soldiers and horses over." Zhou Yu leaned on the rock and looked at the clouds without stars and moons, closed his eyes, and thought that the wound on his arm made him feel pain, "Regardless of the situation on the side of Gongsun Dudu ...... for the time being, what we should do at present is the most important thing." ”

"Emperor Daqin has put so many soldiers and horses here, so let's avoid this place and directly copy his hometown." Next to the bonfire, Wei Yan took off his iron helmet and wiped the blood stains on it, "I don't believe that he still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his house." ”

Sun Ce spit out the bloody milk cake and raised his head: "General Wei knows the way?" We haven't figured out where we are, how to go about raiding his hometown? Rowing? ”

"Alright, alright, let's say less." Huang Zhong broke off a withered branch and threw it into the fire, his white beard trembled lightly, and said with a smile: "It's normal to have defeats and victories in battles, we have won a lot along the way, and once in a while, our hearts are steady." ”

"Boating!"

The figure leaning against the rock sat up suddenly, Zhou Yu opened his eyes and looked at the three of them: "General Wei said just now that he would copy his hometown!" He hurriedly summoned soldiers and spread out the map of the army around the campfire, "Although we don't know where we are now, we will definitely not leave too far, no matter what, there will definitely be a counterattack from the Gongsun Dudu's side, but the Great Qin people will not fail so easily, rather than such a stalemate and confrontation, it is better to kill from here——"

He swiped his fingers across the Mediterranean.

"Really rowing?" Wei Yan's eyes widened and he stretched his neck: "There are so many people, where can we find a ferry and such a boat for us, there must be soldiers and horses stationed on the surface of the Great Qin people." ”

The night insects chirped, and Sun Ceyao smashed his fist on the rock, "Which of my Jiangdong disciples doesn't know how to fight?" Will you be afraid of him Daqin? The ferry port is simple, such a large coast, there is always a ferry to be found by us, the boat is not enough, then build it yourself! What does General Huang think? ”

The three of them looked over, and Huang Zhong laughed: "Old man, then accompany you on an adventure, how can my Jingxiang disciples be afraid of water wars?" ”

It was almost early in the morning when the details of the strategy were finalized, and on the frontal battlefield west of the Assyrian Province, someone woke up from his sleep, Cao Chun walked out of the big tent, there was a fire in the distant night outside, the surrounding tents were whispering people's voices, and there were soldiers on duty at night on the burning bonfire. ”

"Yes, the rest of the people simply did not cooperate, the army was crushed at the touch of a button, and this battle could not be fought at all."

"Actually, we are also worried about General Xiahou's brothers, they must be in a difficult situation."

Listening to the soldiers' worries, Cao Chun's voice became stern: "How the governor arranges it, he naturally has his plans, and you should obey as a soldier." But then, the tone softened: "....... Rest well, and don't discuss these demoralizing words for now, or I'll have to enforce military law. ”

"General.....

"Don't worry, I'll take you home."

Cao Chun waved his hand at them, turned back to the tent and sat down, a guard came to light the lamp, he looked at the flickering flames for a while, quietly closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and released again.

Big Brother...... Chieftain...... He muttered.
