Knua is a slave of the Farrell family for generations, of course, he has been taught to be loyal to the Farrell family since he was a child, and Augustus gave the order to save people, but he will not care how to carry it out. Knuya was outside Lao Luo's camp all afternoon, knowing some of the details of Lao Luo's team, at least three or five people didn't want to save people.

He wanted to find more people to help, but unfortunately Augustus has not been able to interfere with Ankara's garrison, only a few guys who like money have been co-opted by Augustus, but it is impossible to provide enough help, no way, Knua contacted a few bandits who helped the Farrell family collect money. Of course, this so-called accumulation of wealth is robbery and robbery, and the Farrell family is responsible for selling the stolen goods. For the maintenance of stable channels for the sale of stolen goods, there are still people among the bandits who are willing to help.

Knua was a very hard-working and capable servant, and with constant travel and promises, he finally managed to gather a force of almost 400 men, more than 200 soldiers in an army expecting an extra bounty, and more than 100 bandits in motley clothes, all of whom were Abbasids, Persians, Romans, and even Turks.

The manpower was enough, but Knua didn't want to expose the collusion between his family and the bandits, so he secretly agreed with the leader of the soldiers, the order of attack was that the bandits would go first, the soldiers would postpone, destroy everyone in the caravan, and then use the bandits as scapegoats afterwards, and everything would be wiped out, and Hucks could also add a sin.

It must be said that this unusual slave Knua is really deceitful and vicious, and much smarter than his two masters. It's just that he has one of the biggest loopholes is that he didn't calculate the combat power of Lao Luo's gang.

Old Luo finished his dinner with Hux at about eight or nine o'clock, and agreed on how to deal with or deal with Augustus, and Hux took away all the troublemakers who were tied up in a ball, leaving an Antiano hanging on the flagpole there as a warning, and Lao Luo would not be soft on this kind of nonsense, if this kind of thing did not teach him a profound lesson, it would definitely be entangled in endless trouble. Inspecting the layout of the entire camp, according to the standards of previous camping, there are black silk threads and metal bells around, and then there are trenches and floor thorns, which look pretty good, but Lao Luo always feels that this is a little inappropriate.

It wasn't until he saw those horses that he thought that something was wrong, this was not a wilderness, surrounded by Ankara's fortresses and troops, but the hostile guy would definitely not be alone here, that is to say, his side was likely to encounter a cavalry assault, so the layout of this camp was not enough. And although Ankara's garrison is close at hand, it is better not to expect them to come out of the city to rescue you at night.

Thinking of this, he dared to be sure that the other party would definitely come to find trouble at night, the best way was to disrupt the rocket and take the opportunity to save people, and there was a cavalry assault, which was the most common and best way to attack in this land, although the possibility of a cavalry assault was unlikely, but a bureaucrat in the feudal era, he really couldn't determine the bottom line of the other party.

So there should be precautions, Lao Luo stood on the edge of the camp, looked around, "Olki, go and call Gonzas, Alck, and Stan." ”

Olki Yingnuo quickly called the people who had not rested over, Lao Luo looked at the state of everyone, and smiled with satisfaction, these people in front of him are good, and it is estimated that they will soon become assistants who stand alone, "I called you over, because I think someone may attack us at night, so the layout of the camp must be renovated." ”

"It's a possibility, the boss is right." Alke quickly confirmed Lao Luo's thoughts, "Augustus's family is fond of intrigues, and this can't be guarded against. ”

"Well, then change it, everyone hasn't rested anyway." Gonzhas was a very obedient warrior, there can be no doubt about that, "I also feel a little uneasy in my heart, as if I have forgotten something. ”

"Yes, that's a warrior's intuition, and you need to pay attention to it." Lao Luo patted Gonzas on the shoulder, then pointed around and said to the crowd: "I need you to call everyone up, and the torches that are lit at night should be put eighty paces away, and the camp should be as close to the slope as possible at the back, where no cavalry is expected to come." ”

"Cavalry?" Gonzas, who had just been praised, was stunned by Lao Luo's words, "Boss, you mean cavalry?" ”

"Yes, it's probably possible that someone came over at night to save the guy on the flagpole," Old Law paused, "but with Augustus's position, would he just be willing to save his nephew?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, a governor compromising with the merchants? It's simply impossible.

"Therefore, according to the status of the other party, the other party may take the opportunity to be ruthless to a small person who offends him, and then blame others, which can also teach Hux a lesson." Lao Luo's guess was not wrong, but he didn't expect that Augustus didn't have so much courage, but he was a bold servant who did things, but this did not affect the defense plan, "Therefore, the necessary precautions must be there, and everyone must move." ”

"Master, say it, what you command, what we do!" Gonzas's loyalty to Lao Luo was the highest, and he immediately replied loudly.

"Stupid, think for yourself, what to do to defend against the cavalry at night?" It's good to obey orders faithfully, but Lao Luo doesn't want his subordinates to be wooden people who only know how to carry out orders, that will exhaust him to death.

It's a pity that after a while, these guys didn't have a good idea of how to defend effectively, because according to the habits of this era, night attacks are rare, because it is easy to cause chaos and accidentally injure their own people, and at the same time, most of the methods of combat are sword fighting.

There was no way, Lao Luo had no choice but to direct everyone to change the layout of the camp step by step.

All the tents of the inhabitants were distributed under the slope, where behind the river was the river, where horses and camels were placed, from which the cavalry would certainly not come, and some empty tents were reserved in front to confuse the view; At night, all the torches for defensive lighting were moved to eighty paces away, and there was only a bonfire for heating inside, so that the warning range was expanded, and at the same time, you could take advantage of the night to hide yourself and defend against rocket raids; Set traps in several directions that are estimated to be most likely to be attacked, but unfortunately there is not enough time, but Lao Luo's method is more insidious, he asked everyone to dig some knee-deep holes slightly larger than horses' hooves with shovels, this thing is easy to dig, and the speed is very fast, the surface is looking for some dead leaves to camouflage slightly, it is absolutely difficult to distinguish at night.

In addition to these defensive facilities, there is also a need for a counterattack, and it is the most unwise way to attack the opponent on horseback in a hurry. Bow and crossbow counted, what else? Throwing spears, or stan's axes, Gonzhas remembered something, Greek fire.

Greek fire is the earliest application of oil, as early as BC the Greeks used unrefined crude oil to fight the enemy, the Romans also used this thing against the Arabs, and then was learned by the Arabs to deal with the Tang people in Hengrus......

Lao Luo patted his head, praised Gonzhas a few words, turned back to his tent, and took out some barrels of crude oil from the space, which were collected in Athens. However, how to apply this thing needs to be a little calculated, some people say that some are scattered on the ground on the periphery, and then ignited with rockets, but this method is too wasteful, and it only plays the role of isolating the enemy, and it is also inflexible. A simple and flexible method was thought of, the simplest clay pot, filled with crude oil, lit and thrown out, but this thing must be careful, a bad one will hurt oneself.

The preparations for the defense came to an end, and Lao Luo ordered everyone except the sentries on duty at night to rest in their clothes, and put weapons, especially bows and arrows, by their side, ready to wake up and fight at any time. Al Hesyn and the others, who were not warriors, were restricted from moving around at night, and everything was prepared for safety. Li Ji, who was eager to try, was also sent to the back camp by Lao Luo, at least the people who defended the rear were still needed, and he never had the idea of escaping or asking for help from others for shelter.

appeased everyone, he himself was not ready to sleep, in fact, according to his physical fitness, there was no problem if he didn't sleep for a few days.

Ankara, as a military town, does not have the scenery of the early lights, not to mention the concept of street lamps in the whole west, the night mist settles on the Anatolian plateau, the torches of the fortress not far away are full of shadows, the surrounding of the camp is shining, but the bonfires in the camp are dark, and the tents for rest are hidden in the night.

Sitting at the opening of the tent with his eyes closed, the iron-tired bow is placed on Lao Luo's side, and there is no need for a quiver, and the arrow is in the space and can be used at will. His spiritual power can now sense every grass and tree within a radius of 100 meters, since he cultivated the Jingyuan Secret Technique to sense the existence of spiritual power, his spiritual power has increased very quickly, and the visual interference during the day is not very obvious, but this quiet night has an extraordinary effect.

Sometimes, Lao Luo feels that the world is quite magical, he was originally an iron-blooded soldier, what is it now? Traveler, or cultivator? Taoist? He never thought that he would be involved with these things, knowing that the future world is the world unified by the concept of science, and he is also a soldier who fights with the products of technology, but now he has to rely on his body's instinct to fight, entangled with everything that was originally thought to be superstition.

Sometimes it's really hard to explain what people are like.

Thoughts are like silk threads, entwined and entangled, after the night warriors change shifts, when everything fell silent, Lao Luo faintly felt that there was some unusual movement in the distance, not the induction of spiritual power, but a little tremor on the ground, the feeling of being thousands of meters away. Are you here, Lao Luo said to himself secretly, then let's see what kind of formation it is, so that I can give my subordinates some experience.
