Chapter 4 Hand-to-hand combat
The gun city surrounds the drum horn, and the felt tent is in the valley.
Immediately hang the pot pulp, and the knife head divides the cheeks.
Du Wu quietly looked at the person in front of him who was asking questions, and asked, "Is Your Excellency the leader?" β
The bearded man nodded and said, "Young man, what are you from?" β
Du Wu took out the Roman copper coin from his bosom and held it with two fingers, pointing it towards the bearded man. The bearded man suddenly shook his head, got up and walked over quickly, snatched it down, weighed it in his hand, and then leaned over and over by the oil lamp to look at it, and asked, "How did Your Excellency get this copper coin?" β
Du Wu has now determined that these people are the Roman legions that Chen Tang left to him, that is, the Great Qin Family Ding in Chen Tang's mouth. Now that Chen Tang is gone, this army will become his only force in Dahan. Thinking of this, Du Wu stepped forward and asked, "When the Marquis of Guan Nei handed me this copper coin, he said that it was a talisman for the commander of the Great Qin Legion, so I want to know, where is the other copper coin?" After saying that, he glanced at the bearded man.
The bearded man had already taken out another copper coin from his body at this time, and sure enough, it was a Roman copper coin with a javelin in hand. Du Wu smiled: "Presumably, you are the Great Qin Family Ding in the Guannei Hou Mansion, right?" I think you should have been ordered to pass through the Inner Marquis, and you should know what to do when someone comes with a Roman copper coin to recognize you, right? β
The bearded man stood up and said, "Since Your Excellency has obtained the Roman copper coin, according to the arrangement of the Marquis of Guannei, from now on, you will be our boss." Please accept the tribute paid to the boss by the First Legion of Rome! With that, all the people in the room stood up and gave a Nazi-like salute, which stunned Du Wu.
For ancient Rome, Du Wu had limited knowledge and only knew Julius Caesar, so he asked, "Then are you Caesar's soldiers?" β
"Oh my God, you know Caesar, and I swear to Mars that you are the commander of the Han Dynasty who knows the Roman Empire best, and Gaius is willing to go to great lengths for you."
It's like two underground parties facing each other, the two sides went from mutual suspicion at the beginning to mutual trust, just mentioning Caesar's name, and then the scene became extremely hot. These descendants of the Roman legions have been living in the Han Dynasty, so they have been learning Chinese since birth, but their parents have never forgotten their own culture and history, every child will be sent to the most knowledgeable elders at the beginning of enlightenment, to learn and understand the history and culture of Rome, when the first Roman legion under the leadership of Crassus first marched into Central Asia, Caesar's power was like the sky, almost all the Romans were madly cheering his conquest of Gaul, it was only more than fifty years, The Gaius, of course, are well aware of this history.
Gaius told Du Wu that a few hours before Chen Tang died, they had received orders to leave Chang'an and go to Yanzhou to stand by. Because of their appearance, everyone traveled at night and came to this deserted small mountain village outside Yanzhou City after all hardships. Because there is no entry document, I have temporarily lived here, and now it has been more than half a year. Now that Du Wu has come to recognize him, it can be regarded as relieving them of the siege. After all, a group of foreigners can easily cause trouble in a place where they are not familiar with life.
Du Wu suddenly understood Chen Tang's good intentions. As soon as Chen Tang died, the Guannei Marquis Mansion would definitely be taken back by the imperial court, and no one knew what kind of realm the Roman family would face without shelter at that time. Wang Mang is a person who pays great attention to fame, and he will definitely not accept these alien family members. That's why he said in the Great Sima Mansion that he would give it to Du Wu. Because Du Wu is Wang Mang's honored guest, only Du Wu can protect these Roman family members. It's just that Du Wu had no power at that time, so he could only arrange them in Yanzhou, after all, Du Wu was from Yanzhou and would have to return to Yanzhou sooner or later. It's just that I didn't expect them to meet so early because of the rogue attack. Thinking of this, Du Wu wiped a cold sweat, Chen Tang was really scheming. Thinking about Chen Tang's drunken eyes that night, Du Wu couldn't help but shiver. But it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and it can be regarded as having its first strength in this troubled era.
The rest of the conversation went relatively smoothly. When Gaius was given the name of Caesar, the bearded man knelt down on the spot and swore allegiance to Du Wu with a bloody stab. After some discussion, Gaius led all the Roman families, that is, twenty-two people, secretly escorted Du Wu and his party into Yanzhou safely, and when the son was two days later, he quietly entered Yanzhou with the token of the Anhan Mansion given to him by Du Wu, went to Taishan County, and found a Taoyuan Township at the foot of Mount Tai to settle down and wait. Du Wu left some scattered silver taels for everyone, which the king had given him for emergencies before going out, and now it came in handy.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, a soldier of the Northern Army took the lead in going to Yanzhou Mansion to report the news with Lin Lan in his hand. Lin Lan, Du Wu and the others set off on the road after having breakfast, and everyone rested for the night, and they were a lot more energetic, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Lin Lan had just walked on their front feet, and Gaius, oh no, it should be called Caesar now, quietly left the small mountain village with twenty-two people, and ambushed them on the way to Yanzhou. Everyone hadn't touched the blade for half a year, and there was still a trace of excitement when the armor first came on. Caesar helped each of his brothers to put their armor in order, and each of them was armed with a short sword, a large shield, and two javelins stuck in their backs, all of which were left by their fathers, and each short sword had a large or small opening that looked like a short saw.
Just after the hour, I saw 100 people heading in the direction of Yanzhou. What kind of people were theyβragged but fierce eyes, panting with a snort, with a variety of weapons in their hands, knives, two-handed swords, spears, and wooden clubs, and a pockmarked man at the lead, with his shirt open, revealing a pinch of heart hair, and a rusty axe in his hand, gritting his teeth and walking in the front.
Caesar's eyes were sharp, and he could see at a glance that the armor worn by the pockmarked man was exactly the same as the armor of Du Wu's soldiers who came to complain last night, and he immediately understood the identity of this group of people, this is the group of rogues who have been chasing after the coach.
The battle of the Roman army has always been hard and rigid in front of the gong, so before Zhang Mazi's bandits approached, Caesar had already led the Roman family to rush out, lined up the military formation, and waited for the battle.
Zhang Mazi didn't expect that there would be ambushes on the way, so he was startled, and when he saw clearly the military formation of these people, the second monk was even more confused. Shouted: "Rush up and grab their swords!" β
A group of rogue Kowala rushed forward, but the other party didn't move, no, they moved. I saw a strange cry from a bearded man in the leader, and a bundle of javelins flew out of the military formation, startling the rogues who charged forward, and it could be seen that this was a warning. The crowd didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, they shouted and rushed forward in unison. I saw the second round of javelins fly out again, this time they were not so lucky, several people were shot by javelins, and before they could shout a few times, they were trampled to death by their companions who swarmed behind.
Zhang Mazi shouted, and rushed forward with an axe. The military array on the opposite side put up their shields in unison, formed a circular phalanx, and also rushed towards Zhang Mazi and them. Zhang Mazi's axe slammed into the round shield, and the soldier holding the shield was thrown to the ground at once, and before Zhang Mazi could kill him, the two short swords stabbed at once, Zhang Mazi hurriedly blocked it with an axe, and then the shields on both sides were closed again, and there was no gap left for Zhang Mazi, so he pushed him to the ground with a shield. Zhang Mazi hurriedly got up, and at this time, the rogues had already rushed up, and everyone began to fight. However, what made Zhang Mazi very depressed was that the opponent's shield array was very strong, and he couldn't break through at all, plus Liukou was not a professional soldier, and after a while, he was knocked over on his back, and then he was reaped with a sword.
However, there were still too many rogues, and after the first round of the attack, the Roma were in a bitter battle. The team of only eleven people couldn't resist the opponent's attack at all, after a false shot, Caesar shouted, turned around first, spread his feet and ran back, Zhang Mazi almost didn't give his nose crooked, and he was about to kill these guys who stood in the way, how could he let them escape at this moment, so he led people to chase after him.
Seeing that Caesar led people into a small village, Zhang Mazi was so angry that he was about to lead someone to chase him in, when a little white face shouted behind him: "Wait a minute, poor Kou Mo chase!" β
Zhang Mazi's face was a little ugly when he heard this, he turned around and looked at the little white face who walked in slowly and said, "Big brother, can you just let them run away?" β
Xiaobai smiled and said gloomily: "Don't worry, Zhang Mazi, I will give you a chance to take revenge, don't you see that this is a trap?" β
