Liu San wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead before he said: "Yesterday afternoon, Mu Ren broke through the city of Carmen, he left the infantry to deal with the aftermath, and he rushed over with 1,200 cavalry, and now they have arrived in Lower Osse, that is to say, he has blocked the retreat of the coalition army!" Also, just after a detailed report, Odoase fled with fifty men to the coalition camp and met with Herolius, who, upon learning of the situation, immediately decided to withdraw his troops back to Macedonia tonight."

Muren's attack on Carmen City was expected by Qin Dong, after all, the power of explosives in this era is equivalent to nuclear weapons, as long as the city gate or city wall is blown up, the city will definitely not be protected, unless the other party can know the location of the explosion in advance, and arrange heavy troops behind the city wall at the location of the explosion, it is difficult to defend.

But Odoase's escape still made Qin Dong quite depressed, and he muttered in his heart why this guy's life is so big? Can't you kill no matter how you do it? Is it really a destined historical figure, with the so-called God blessed? However, Qin Dong knew that what he had to do now was not to keep an eye on Odoase, no matter how powerful this guy was, there were only fifty people now, and he had almost become a bare pole, it was okay to be a mercenary, but it was not easy to rely on fifty people to start an incident. The most important thing now is to immediately make arrangements for the withdrawal of the 14th Legion of the Western Roman Empire overnight tonight, I don't know, even if I know that the 14th Legion is going to run, if I don't take the opportunity to hit them hard, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to take measures?

Qin Dong immediately took Liu San back to the City Lord's Mansion to hold a meeting of officers, and several staff members and related personnel were all there, while everyone was talking in a low voice. Qin Dong walked into the council hall and sat on the main seat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, last night Toron led his troops to raid the 14th Legion's food and grass supply point in Simi, and all the grain was burned. Not only that, but all the horses of the cavalry wing sent by Helorius to transport grain were also released, and most of the personnel were lost, according to the analysis, if the grain and grass in the Helorius camp were saved, they could only support two days at most, and at the same time, Muren's Second Route Army captured the city of Carmen. He had already led his cavalry to Lower Orse, and Herolius, having learned that Symi's grain and grass storehouses had been burned and that the city of Carmen had fallen, had decided to retreat back to Macedonia tonight! ”

After the voice fell. Everyone showed joy, which meant that their crisis was about to be resolved, and they would no longer have to face a tragic siege battle, knowing that less than 2,000 men defended more than 10,000 people. This is not a lot of pressure. Now that the Romans have decided to withdraw their troops, these people here are relaxed, and the fortress of Lazlog has really fallen into their own hands, so it can be said that the strategic purpose of this time has been achieved.

Qin Dong then spoke again: "Although it is said that the Romans are going to withdraw their troops, we can't let them withdraw so easily, since Helorius has decided to withdraw at night, it means that he doesn't want us to know." lest we follow and kill, but unfortunately we now know the news. So are we going to give Helorius a big gift? ”

Everyone looked at each other and immediately understood what Qin Dong meant, and they all laughed heartily at the same time.

Qin stood up with his hand on the handle of the knife and said in a deep voice: "Liu San! ”

"In!" Liu San bowed down and agreed.

"Immediately give Tolong an order, let him ambush in the Wild Wolf Canyon, only wait for the Fourteenth Legion to evacuate to the Wild Wolf Canyon in a panic and suddenly kill, cut off the Fourteenth Legion, and after a while, you can't fight, and then quickly go to Lower Osai to join Muren, at that time, Muren will be the main general, with Tolong as the secondary, just wait for the remnants of the Fourteenth Legion to use the vast space outside the valley mouth to use the cavalry to rush and kill the remnants of the Fourteenth Legion, and the one who beheads Herolius will be rewarded with 1,000 gold coins, and promoted to one level, if the Fourteenth Legion can be annihilated, it is the best!"

Liu San promised: "Yes, my lord!" ”

Qin Dong said again: "Batu, once the 14th Army is withdrawn, you will take the 300 cavalry of the escort cavalry team with me to chase and kill the rear of the enemy army!" ”

Batu stepped forward: "Yes, my lord! ”

Qin Dong looked at Faisal and said: "Faisal, after Batu and I lead the escort cavalry team to chase and kill the tail of the enemy army, you take all the active infantry in the city out of the city, the speed should be fast, follow us to capture the prisoners, prepare more ropes and carriages, ropes are used to bind the prisoners, and the carriages are used to carry trophies!" ”

Faisal said excitedly: "Yes, my lord, I can do this work!" ”

Qin Dong looked at Duoyin and Peteus and the others again: "Duoyin will defend the city with heavy infantry, and others led by Peteus will assist Duoyin, and after we go out of the city to chase and kill the enemy army, we must strictly prevent someone from sneaking up!" ”

The officers and staff members who were named all stood up and saluted: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates must take strict precautions!" ”

……

Coalition battalion.

It was getting dark, the temperature was starting to drop, the cold wind was blowing, the fabric and leather of the tent were rustling, and Herolius stood at the door of the tent and looked up in the direction of Lazlog in silence.

For Helorius, this expedition is absolutely very humiliating, since the beginning of the army, he has never been so sloppy, a battle did not fight, not only lost seven generals, but also about to run out of food, he commanded more than 10,000 elite troops, but there is no way to take the Huns in the north of Razlog City of less than 2,000 people, and because of the lack of food, he had to retreat to Macedonia, this is not a nest?

Thinking of this, Helorius only felt panicked in his heart, very depressed, and couldn't get out of his heart with a mouthful of nausea, but what could he do? There will be no large amount of food falling from the sky, and for the sake of today, we can only evacuate to ensure that this army will not collapse, only the army is still there, and there will always be a time for this breath to come out.

At this time, the commander of the cavalry wing, Homsis, came over and reported: "General, everything is ready, and we can set camp on the road after you have dinner!" ”

Herolius asked, "Have you eaten it all?" ”

"Yes, General, only you didn't eat!"

Helorius looked at the walls of Razlog in the hazy night in the distance, and suddenly said, "Pass on the order of the general, prepare to attack the city!" Order the First Wing, along with the three Germanic armies, to march on the city of Razlog in full gear, and order the siege battalion to bring all the heavy siege equipment under the city of Razlog and surrender all the stone shells to the opposite city, and not a single one is to be left behind."

After hearing this, Woody was shocked and said, "General, aren't we going to retreat?" Why did you suddenly order the siege of the city? ”

Herolius turned his head to look at Woody and said: "Our army is withdrawn, no matter how careful we are, there will always be a disturbance, Qin Dong is a cunning and suspicious person, do you think he will not be able to predict that we will retreat?" If we want to retreat safely, we must create the illusion that we are determined to fight to the death, well, no nonsense, carry out my orders, and those who refuse to obey will be killed! ”

Woody opened his mouth and couldn't say anything, but the order still had to be carried out, he lowered his head and stroked his chest and said, "Obey, General!" ”

Qin Dong and a group of officers and staff stood on the city wall, Qin Dong was fully armed, holding the hilt of his sword, motionless, and the others were also standing in place without movement, only a few staff members behind were discussing something on the ground.

Batu came from the top of the staircase and saluted, and reported: "Your Excellency, the three hundred cavalry and one thousand two hundred light infantry of the escort cavalry and a large number of carriages are ready, and they can set off at the first order!" ”

Qin Dong nodded after hearing this, but he didn't give an order, after all, there is not the slightest movement in the camp on the opposite side now, as long as the Fourteenth Army Corps on the opposite side is withdrawn, no matter how careful it is, there will be some movement coming over, and when that time comes, you can go out of the city to chase and kill.

The crowd waited slowly, and after a short time, a centurion suddenly shouted, "Your Excellency, you see, the army on the other side seems to be coming towards us!" ”

Everyone really saw that there was a fire dragon slowly coming towards Razlog City from the direction of the coalition camp, although the speed was not very fast, but everyone stood on the city wall and could clearly tell that the fire dragon was indeed moving in the direction of Razlog, Qin Dong had a question in his head, didn't the coalition army want to retreat? Why did you drive this way at this time? Could it be that the inside information is wrong?

Under the gaze of Qin Dong and others on the city wall, a large force of the coalition army holding torches advanced to the outside of the city, and under the command of some officers, the coalition soldiers began to form a formation and form a phalanx formation.

Qin Dong observed the army under the city, he counted the number of torches, and found that there were more than 6,000 torches under the city, but at the same time, he also saw the clue, generally two torches are relatively close, what does this mean? If you divide the number of torches by two, then the Roman army under the city is only more than 3,000 people, but Herolius creates the illusion of more than 6,000 people, is it ......?

Not good! Qin Dong immediately realized that Helorius wanted to use these 3,000 people to pretend to attack the city under the city, but in fact, he asked the main force to evacuate at night, and the army under the city pretended to attack the city here, which could cover up the movement of the main force of the army and confuse him Qin Dong, even if he knew the true intention of Helorius, there was no way, because there were more than 6,000 people blocking the city on the surface, and if he wanted to pursue the main force of the enemy army in the evacuation, he had to deal with the more than 6,000 people under the city first!

"Hmph, Herolius, you didn't expect that I had already prepared a move to deal with you, when the news of your evacuation came, I thought that trick was useless, who knew that you would send someone to pretend to attack the city, which inadvertently just made the trick I prepared come in handy!"

Qin Dong muttered silently in his heart, thinking about it and laughing, "Hahaha, Herolius wants to play this trick with me, he is still a little close, it seems that the Romans are going to attack the city, the first wave must be trebuchets and ballistas to fire stone projectiles, pass my order, except for the observation post, everyone retreats to the city to avoid the attack of stone bullets, order the soldiers operating our trebuchets and ballistas in the city to get ready, prepare stone bullets and fire oil, wait for my order, hurry up!" ”

"Yes, sir!" (To be continued......)
