(Thanks: freestar00 rewarded 300 starting coins, Feng Xiaai rewarded 100 starting coins)

Qin Dong rushed back to the Pazar camp with his men and horses as fast as possible, and when he returned to the camp, it was already night, and there was no time to rest and sleep, Qin Dong immediately sent someone to inform Su He, Tuolong, Ma Li and others to come over overnight to discuss matters.

At about midnight, several important officers rushed to the big tent, Qin Dong didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have received news that Manlarik, the leader of a Germanic group in the south, is preparing to raid us, this time they were instigated and bought by Vatur, the number is about a thousand, including three hundred cavalry, seven hundred infantry, with our current strength to keep them, there will definitely be a lot of losses!" ”

After the news was reported, several officers were excited, and Su He got up with a gloomy face and said: "My lord, what else is there to say about this, just start fighting directly, when are we Huns afraid of the Germans?" They should be thankful that we didn't go to their grass valley to attack us, and now they dare to attack us, this time they will kill their dead race! ”

To tell the truth, Qin Dong doesn't want to fight now, he and his subordinates have only been here for more than a month, the training of all arms has not been completed, if the war starts now, the casualties will definitely be very large, he is located here in a key border area, the soldiers are nervous, and the soldiers die one less than one, especially the Hun cavalry, unless there are Xiongnu herdsmen to join the army, it is possible to replenish the soldiers, if the casualties are too large, it is easy to be swallowed up by other centurions or thousands.

But now it can't be fought without fighting, the Germans have all entered the house, and he has also been retreated by the locality, so he can only fight one battle, but how to fight this battle has to be calculated.

Qin Dong said: "This battle must be fought, as for how to fight, we have to wait for them to really send troops before arranging the tactics, now what we have to do is to move some Xiongnu herdsmen, Skirs and people of other nationalities who have been submissive to us in the southern part of our defense area to the Pazar camp before the Germans come in, and all go to the north bank of Maricha, so as not to be attacked by the Germans!" ”

Agoura, who was in charge of logistics, said: "My lord, I am afraid that it will be difficult for all the herdsmen and other ethnic groups to complete the migration within a period of time, and maybe before we can complete the migration, the Germanic people will come in!" ”

Qin Dong thought for a while, and after thinking for a while, he nodded: "What Agoura said is not unreasonable, it is very troublesome to relocate, and the common people are not more disciplined than the army, especially things like moving are always procrastinating, so let's just move all the herdsmen and people of other nationalities to the area north of Lake Bataka, the Germans want to raid our big camp, they must think of taking it by surprise, so they are likely to choose to march at night, because they have infantry, so the marching speed is not very fast, and the march starts at dark, It is not until midnight that they arrive near Lake Bataka, there is no water source along the way, only Lake Bataka, it is the nature of human beings to live by water and grass, they must take this road, we are waiting for them on the west shore of Lake Bataka for a decisive battle! ”

After hearing this, everyone agreed with Qin Dong's opinion, and the matter was settled like this, and then Qin Dong announced the news that he had been promoted to commander of a thousand soldiers, and everyone was surprised, could it be that Vatur .......?

Qin Dong confirmed their conjecture: "You are right, at noon today, when Vatur was from Saidika to Pana, he was attacked by an unknown army on the north shore of the lake of Nkapa, so that he was almost wiped out, and I happened to arrive with Muren's people, although I saved forty or fifty people, but Vatur was still killed by those people!" General Modo, the commander of the ten thousand divisions, was furious after hearing this, and decided to convene the deployment to discuss the crusade against the Germanic people in the south, and in order to stabilize the situation here, General Modo has appointed me as the commander here, to take over the position of Vatur, and after dawn, General Modo sent someone to send the identity of the commander, I will go to Pana to receive the direct army left by Vatur, as for the other centurions, wait until we destroy the invading Germans this time and then clean them up! Leave the scouts to reconnoiter and help the herdsmen to move, the heavy cavalry and infantry units continue to stay in the camp, and all the other archers follow me to Pana to take over the power."

"Yes, sir!"

After the deliberations were over, the cavalry of the reconnaissance cavalry set out to the southern defense area to inform the herdsmen to evacuate, and other departments also carried out defense work in an orderly manner.

At noon the next day, Modo sent someone to bring the commander's waist card, which was a proof of identity, representing the commander's rights, which was a silver waist card with a totem pattern of a group of hungry wolves, without any words. There was also a flag of the commander who was sent together, which is also something that represents the right, the messenger of the commander took it to convey the orders of the commander to his centurions, and the messenger sent by Modo also went to Pana with Qin Dong, and the task of the messenger was to accompany Qin Dong to Pana to take up his post in addition to sending waist cards and flags, which can also prove from another aspect that Qin Dong has become the identity of the commander of the thousand is no problem, and it is useless for the centurions under Vatur to oppose even if they want to, Unless they want to rebel openly.

Before leaving, Qin Dong asked Batu to find a guard and hand over the commander's banner representing his rights to this guard, "You go and inform Ramado in the east, Tinis in the northwest, and Sankundo in the north, and tell them that Vatur is dead, and that Captain Modova has appointed me as a commander of a thousand commanders, and convey my order to them, before sunset tomorrow, Ramodo must send 400 cavalry, and Tinis and Sankundo will each lead 200 cavalry to the shore of Lake Bataka to participate in the battle, and they will personally lead the team, and if it is not outdated, military law will be engaged!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The guard took the flag, carried it on his shoulders, and quickly departed with a few horsemen.

In the evening of the same day, Qin Dong and Modo's envoys arrived at Panavatur's camp with 400 archers, accompanied by more than 40 of the original Vatur's guards who had surrendered.

The people of the Pana camp did not know that Vatur was dead, and when Qin Dong and Modo's envoys arrived, the head of the camp refused to allow Qin Dong and Modo's envoys to enter on the grounds that Vatur was not there.

Qin Dong turned his head to look at the envoy riding on the horse beside him and said, "Lord Envoy, please help!" ”

The messenger nodded and shouted to the camp: "Listen to the people inside, I am Theo, the messenger of Lord Modo, the commander of the Ten Thousand Commanders, and I have come to inform you on the orders of Lord Modo that the Thousand Commanders of Vatur were attacked by a sneak attack on the way back from Saidika yesterday and have been killed in battle, and now Lord Modo has appointed Lord Qin Dong, the centurion of the Pazar region, to replace the position of Vatur and be promoted to the rank of Thousand Commanders, and all the centurions, staff and other officials under Vatur must obey his orders, unless you dare to betray the Great Hun Empire, Otherwise, immediately open the door of the camp and let Lord Qin Dong take over the camp! ”

A voice came from inside: "Theo-sama, can you let us discuss?" ”

Theo glanced at Qin Dong, and Qin Dong shouted loudly: "Yes, give you an hour, after an hour you must open the door of the camp, otherwise I will declare you rebel and will destroy you!" ”

If it is an ordinary centurion, he has no ability, and the centurion with only a hundred or ten cavalry under his command cannot take over the camp at all, and even if he takes over, he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of this thousand-commander, but this place is run by Vatur like an iron bucket, and it is not so easy to let the power be handed over smoothly.

About half an hour later, there was a sudden shouting of killing in the direction of the Chinese army in the camp, Qin Dong and Theo were shocked, and when they looked around, they saw that the two sides of the Chinese army were fighting near the big tent, they knew that this was a fight between the army that did not want to be taken over by Qin Dong and the army that did not want to be accused of rebellion.

After all, there are only a few people who are loyal to Vatur and have a rebellious heart, although the Great Hun Empire is not as brilliant as the previous two years, but after all, the power is still there, the majesty is still there, Da Shan Yu is still there, no one dares to rebel casually, even those Skiers and Goethes dare not rebel, let alone the Huns themselves.

The battle lasted for about half an hour, and several centurions covered in blood walked towards the camp gate with weapons, and then the camp gate was opened, and these centurions with military power immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Meet the commander!" ”

Qin Dong hurriedly dismounted and helped up these centurions and the subordinate officials of the original Vatur one by one, and promised: "You are loyal to the Great Hun Empire, those who rebel deserve to die, you kill them, I am very happy, I have no right to promote your official positions again, but in order to show my appreciation for your loyalty, I will reward you each with ten pounds of gold, I hope you will continue to work hard!" ”

"Master Xie Qianfu!" Everyone spoke in unison.
