Chapter 67: A small town on the border of Rome
"Bury the body, and leave the three horses to take away."
After Maximus left, although Qi Lin was somewhat depressed in his heart, it was already the case, and it was useless to think too much.
And if the four Roman soldiers here don't go back for half a day, the group of Romans will definitely notice it, and then maybe they will think that there are still remnants of the enemy in this wood, and then send troops into the woods to search, so this is not a place to stay for a long time.
After letting the soldiers bury the four unlucky Roman soldiers and lead the three ownerless war horses, Qi Lin hurriedly withdrew with his group of men.
Back to the previous camp, the soldiers who stayed here had already dismantled the tents and everything, the animal skins and other things were all rolled up and tied up, and the food and wine that were not eaten yesterday were also tied to the horses by this group of soldiers along with those furs and animal skins.
However, these pack horses were not very sufficient, and almost every horse carried supplies that almost reached the weight limit, and a lot of ground was saved.
didn't want to spend any more money on these pack horses, so Qi Lin directly put the rest of the supplies into the backpack of the riding and chopping game, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the little space in the backpack was almost filled directly.
"Well, it's better than wasting it." Qi Lin sighed, then waved his hand at the team that was ready to go, and said, "Let's go, get out of this forest, first find a place to brush up your reputation, and then you can summon more soldiers. ”
After sending several waves of soldiers to investigate the situation, Qi Lin was lucky to find a safe way to the outside world.
In fact, there was basically no danger outside the woods at this time, although the group of Roman soldiers outside the woods had not left, but now they were only to take care of those comrades who had been injured in the battle and were unable to move.
Of course, it could also be because their general Maximus had just been 'killed' and the new general had not yet taken office, so he was on temporary standby.
But none of this matters about Qi Lin.
After ordering a safe passage early, Qi Lin decisively ordered the team to leave here.
……
Three days later, on a hillside in the middle of the desert, Qi Lin sat under a makeshift awning made of animal skins and spears, his hands fanning his face.
"What the hell is this Nima? So hot...... Lao Tzu shouldn't have been in the flames, right? ”
It seemed that he had heard Qi Lin's whispered complaints, and God thought he was pitiful, and after a while, a Rhodok soldier who had gone to explore the way returned.
"Go and give him a drink." Qi Lin sat lazily on the animal skin under the shed, pointed to the runaway (hallucinating) Rhodok crossbowman, and said to a sergeant standing beside him.
In the past three days, although Qi Lin had not done anything, and had not even found any traces after leaving the woods, he found that he seemed to like the feeling of instructing people more and more.
"Thank you, General!" Seeing the drink handed over by the sergeant, the Rhodok crossbowman took it with a grateful (hallucination) look on his face and poured it into his stomach.
"Did you find anything?" Qi Lin asked.
"Report to the General, a small town has been spotted at the foot of a mountain about three kilometers ahead." The Rhodok crossbowman lowered his cup and replied by pointing in one direction.
"Yo? Got a town? Hearing the news, Qi Lin, who had just been listless, instantly perked up.
Nima has been three days, and finally let me find out that it is crowded, it is really not easy to meow!
Qi Lin thought a little excitedly, then sat up straight, looked at the Rhodok soldier with a stern face, and asked, "How about the scale?" How many people are there in that town? ”
"It's not large, it's only about two or three hundred people."
"Only two or three hundred?" Hearing Rhodok's crossbowman's answer, Qi Lin looked at the hundred or so subordinates who were scattered around at this time and were resting, and he was a little hesitant in his heart, whether to directly capture that town.
After thinking about it for a while, Qi Lin finally decided to directly send troops to take it down.
Anyway, if you fail, it's just a refresher, at most it will hurt to be cut back to the real world for a while, and you won't really die, I'm afraid of a hair.
However, Rhodok is known to be the best at siege, and although this camp has no cavalry, they do have a group of perverted infantry and crossbowmen.
Now the other party is only a small town of two or three hundred people, and it is estimated that there is not even a decent city wall, and there are not necessarily a few soldiers in the defending army, let alone cavalry.
If you can't conquer this, then you won't play anymore and go home early.
And if you don't even have an initial base, what are you talking about dominating the world!
With this thought in mind, Qi Lin decisively ordered the soldiers to start gathering.
Hearing Qi Lin's order, the Rhodok soldiers, who were still sitting on the ground drinking ale and nibbling bread and dried meat, suddenly moved, grabbed the weapons and shields placed beside them, and assembled neatly dressed in just a few minutes.
Looking at the group of Rhodok soldiers in front of him, Qi Lin nodded with satisfaction.
Even if you are a scumbag, if you have such a group of elite soldiers, it is estimated that there will be no pressure to push it directly, right?
When I played the game, I always killed like this, and I didn't see a city attacking a city, and I didn't see any loss in a game.
However, Qi Lin obviously forgot about it, the other party is not one of those AI IQ in the game, and there is no way to adjust those damage reductions similar to cheating.
Looking at the more than 100 Rhodok soldiers arrayed in front of him with confidence, Qi Lin waved his big arm and directly led this group of subordinates, followed by the Rhodok crossbowman who came back to report the news, and walked towards the town in the distance.
Only a few cannon fodder-level junior troops were left here, guarding the horses and supplies.
……
Dozens of minutes later, looking at the town in the distance that was a little commotion because he noticed his team, Qi Lin's eyes also showed a meaningful 'beep' smile.
However, in line with the principle of saluting first and then soldiering, Qi Lin did not let the Rhodok marksmen attack the city as soon as they came up, but called a Rhodok sergeant and asked him to come forward and shout to persuade him to surrender.
Because in his mind, although there are more than 200 people in this town, most of them should be ordinary residents and have no combat ability.
Now seeing his more than 100 elite soldiers, he will definitely fall under the ass and surrender without hesitation.
But it turns out that Qi Lin really still thinks too much.
You must know that the Roman Empire at this time has just suffered a large-scale invasion by foreign tribes, although it has not suffered a disaster, but it is precisely because of this that the survivors of the small town that were conquered by the foreign tribes have fled here, and the barbarism and brutality of those foreigners are vividly promoted.
Now I watched a group of troops dressed completely different from the Roman soldiers appear near their town, posing as if they were about to attack.
Although the Empire has now declared the end of the war, the foreign races have been defeated and a truce is being planned.
But isn't there yet a complete truce?
And it didn't seem inconceivable to slip one or two foreign troops into Roman territory.
So the inhabitants of Rome directly took this army of Qilin into those brutal foreigners.
Surrender? No, never surrender!
We will fight to the end, and we will never let you barbarians hurt our families again.
"Get out of Rome, you're not welcome here!"
"We will never surrender to you, you brutes!"
"Bastard, stop being delusional! We will fight to the end! ”
"Rome will win!"
Listening to the constant cursing from the town in front of him, Qi Lin's face became more and more gloomy.
