Chapter 694: Night Attack on Rome

When the Roman generals heard Pompey say that the Chinese would launch a night attack, their hearts tightened. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Commander Marcus Junius Octavian said: "General Pompey, where did you get the judgment that the Chinese would launch a night attack? ”

Everyone looked at Pompey, such a major military decision was not as simple as casual talk.

Pompey thumped his chest and said, "Commander, I have studied the Chinese art of war for many years. Although the Chinese have many different military documents, they all mention that they were ready to work and launched attacks on armies coming from afar. ”

"Our army marched for days and days, and came here across nearly a thousand miles, and the soldiers were tired. Although I don't dare to guarantee that the Chinese will attack at night 100%, they are also seventy or eighty percent sure. ”

The reason why the Roman army was able to advance so quickly was that Rome had a tradition of building roads, but wherever the Roman sphere of influence extended, roads would be built there. Moreover, they are all bluestone-paved military roads, which can accommodate eight columns of soldiers to pass quickly at the same time.

This path allowed the Roman legions to move quickly into battle, thus allowing the Romans to control a huge territory.

Pompey saw that Octavian was still hesitating, and said: "There is a saying among the Chinese people that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is better to believe it than to believe it. ”

Octavian nodded slightly, and he immediately united everyone and began to discuss how to deal with the possible night attack of the expeditionary force of the Chinese Princes' Alliance.

Tiberius, the governor of Amemia, pointed to the map and said, "There is only one way to get here, and if the Han army arrives, it will definitely take this road." ”

As far as everyone could see, the road turned a bend and extended to the city of Yerevan, and at the bend was the entrance to the main entrance of the Roman barracks.

It can also be seen that at the end of this road is the main entrance of the Roman military camp.

At this time, the descendant of the Glory Bloodline, Gadette Julius Caesar, proposed: "We can place a certain number of troops at the main gate, and retreat after a little resistance." The Han army must have broken into the barracks. We were behind the main gate, passively resisting, so that the Han army could go deeper. He also placed heavy troops on both sides, and surrounded the Han army in our military camp. ”

"That's right!" Caesar suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "This is a closed door and a dog, Qin Zijin said, General Pompey fell for this plan when he was in Guishanzhi City." ”

Pompey blushed and glared at Caesar.

Octavian hurriedly persuaded peace.

On the other hand.

At the foot of Mount Aragats, the night raid of the coalition forces is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner.

Qin Feng has an army of 50,000 here, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Ma Teng, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Lu Bu, each with thousands of them.

Speaking of which, the African side of the alliance is mainly based on Liu Beijun, the European side is mainly Cao Cao, and the base camp is mainly based on the Qin army.

When night fell, Qin Feng gathered the crowd.

Lao Jia Xu listened quietly to Qin Feng's arrangements for the night attack, but in fact, he had been calculating the before and after of this night attack in his heart. During Qin Feng's pause, Lao Jia Xu walked out at the right time and said, "Lord, the scale of the enemy is too large, and there may be an accident in the night attack. ”

It seems that Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others looked displeased, thinking that it was unlucky to say this before the expedition.

Qin Feng motioned for Lao Jia Xu to continue.

Lao Jia Xu said: "If you use a small force to lure the enemy out, ambush and kill, the effect will definitely be greater than a direct attack on the camp." If the enemy comes out less, all of them will be destroyed, and if there are many enemies, they will leave with one blow, and it will be convenient for me. ”

"If you can, you can fight, if you can't, you can leave." Qin Feng said with a smile: "Wen He has already mastered the essence of guerrilla warfare. ”

Lao Jia Xu hurriedly saluted and said: "It's all the teachings of the lord, and in the past few days, the subordinates have suddenly opened up, and the military strategy that has not grown for many years has also improved. ”

Xu Yu grinned behind Yuan Shao, "Old fox, sycophant." ”

Qin Feng laughed and said to everyone: "Wen He is right, that is, you should use various tactics flexibly. Rather than rushing forward with our army, it is better to lure the enemy out and destroy them at the right time, so that the initiative is in our hands, and this is the foundation of guerrilla warfare. If the initiative is on the enemy's side, then we will not call it guerrilla warfare, it will be an escape. ”

The princes and their advisers pondered it, and this was indeed the case. After all, rushing into someone's barracks is equivalent to entering someone else's house, and the situation is changeable. It would be great if it could be lured out, and it would also be good to lure the snake out of the hole.

Yuan Shao: They immediately agreed.

Qin Feng said: "In this case, the military operation tonight will be troubled by all of you. The momentum is stronger, and our whole army is dispatched to ambush the Romans. ”

Originally, Qin Feng, as the leader of the alliance, wanted to set an example in the war, and it was originally him and his apprentice Sun Ce who launched an attack. Since it was changed to lead the snake out of the hole, the princes went up together, and they had no opinion.

So, Yuan Shao's side is Yan Liangwen Chou, Sun Ce's side is Zhou Tai Zhu Huan, Ma Teng's side is Ma Chao Ma Dai, Yuan Shu's side is Ji Ling Zhang Xun, Liu Biao's side is Cai Mao Zhang Yun, Liu Zhang's side is Zhang Ren, and Lu Bu's side is himself.

The soldiers will follow Qin Feng to ambush, and Qin Feng sent Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, leading 20,000 troops, to lure the enemy out of the hole.

The alliance of princes had been recuperating for many days, and as soon as it was dark, the whole army set out. The scout troops were even more like ghosts, and they were extremely numerous, and many Roman spies were quickly eliminated by opening the way ahead.

At one o'clock in the morning, the army marched more than seventy miles.

Qin Feng's ambush soldiers and horses were on the east side of the 'Yerevan' mountain city, behind the slope of the same direction of the mountain city. 30,000 Qin troops were ambushed in the north, and the princes' soldiers and horses were ambushed in the south.

The troops of the princes took the opportunity to rest, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, led 20,000 elites, and continued to go to the city of 'Yerevan' to lure the enemy.

At the same time, outside Yerevan, the Roman military camp.

The layout of the Roman barracks, boxy. Under the moonlight, you can see small square barracks, combined into a huge boxy barracks. Each small barracks is surrounded by fence fortifications arranged with wooden sticks more than two meters high, and the outermost barracks fortifications are combined to form a huge wall.

The Great Tent of the Roman Army.

The descendants of the glorious bloodline of Rome arrived one after another from the front of the army.

"Pompey, it looks like you're wrong." Caesar yawned and said, "It's a little too much, the enemy won't come." ”

Pompey was displeased, and he was worried that he would be embarrassed if he guessed wrong.

Fortunately, Commander Octavian said: "Wait another hour, and if there is no trace of the enemy, order the soldiers to withdraw to the ambush and rest." Go back to each of you, and lead your tribes, and continue to do what you have planned,"

"The gods of Olympus bless, I hope the Chinese people will come."

The Roman generals returned to the front of the army.

The Roman army was on standby.

Half an hour later.

"Report ......, Your Excellency Commander, the Han army is about to arrive!" Roman spies came to the Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

Commander Octavian, Governor Tiberius was ecstatic. Octavian said: "Pompey is worthy of being a Huaxia Tong. Pass my order, all departments act according to the plan, and let the Han army enter the camp first! ”

Pompey was overjoyed when he was informed later, and he must have been the first to take credit for his victory. With this merit, the Senate had to share the benefits with him, and he was one step closer to becoming the senator of the empire. (To be continued.) )
