Six hundred and fortieth chapters shaft (two)

The sound went far away, becoming ethereal, and then turned into the whimpering wind of the night.

The wind was rustling with leaves. A square Roman military camp was 40 feet above the river. Within the deep trenches and high walls, piles of bonfires were burning. The swaying fire light shone on the soldiers' figures patrolling. In addition to the guardrails linked by wooden stakes, the digging gullies had a gradual sound of water flowing. A team of cavalry teams patrolled along the camp guarding ditch. Some people in the team stopped and looked at the deep forests nearby. Except for the sound of leaves in the wind, there was no other movement. After a few glances, they left and continued patrolling forward.

The bushes blinked from the inside, and then a slight rustling sound came from. Among the shadows, some people tried to open their eyes wide and wrote down everything they saw one by one. Soon, they quietly retreated in a touch of the black, covered the place they had been there, and then silently turned from the depths of the forest, crossed the top of a hill, flashed halfway up the hill, and entered a cave.

There was no fire inside, and the fire was too obvious at night, so it was easy to be discovered by the Romans patrolling cavalry, but there was still a hint of anger, and the smell of herbs floated in the cave. At the very bottom, brocade and fur were mixed together. The girl woke up from her drowsiness. This was her third night in the cave.

The arrow wound on the back was still burning and the pain was heard.

During these days of injury, I slept for too long and my head was drowsy. I slowly got up, rubbed the rock wall and walked outward. There was a faint light at the other end of my sight, and there were several sounds. As I approached, the outlines of several people appeared, and the sound became clearer.

"The chaos is almost over. The caravans either approached the governor's central army or had already fled towards Taixi, but we were more embarrassed..."

"Boyan, just tell me what to do!"

"Yes, if you don't get rid of the Great Qin people who blocked the road, they will be targeted by his cavalry regardless of going west or east. Since they are all dead, they will just do this Great Qin army and do it. When did I, Han people, have ever been afraid of these barbarians?"

In the lights, someone spat: "It's easy to say, more than 10,000 people are not straw men. I'm standing there waiting for you to kill. Besides, we are a caravan, plus the guards and Bingzhou cavalry are only about 3,000, so how can I kill?! Kill with my mouth?!"

"Say a few less words, it depends on how Bo Yan arranges it."

Opposite, a young man in deep clothes and robe raised the lights to shine on the map spreading on the rocks. The ink stains on it had not yet dried out, and it was obviously outlined. He gently held his white fingertips and kept scanning the Roman camp. Under the gaze of everyone, his lips opened: "It is impossible to fight with the military formations of the Qin people in the field, with our uneven manpower, it is even more difficult to attack the military camp at night!"

The fingers held on the corner of the mouth were taken out and the outlined peripheral signs of the simple military camp were shown: "There are four-door single bridges in the military camp, with gullies outside, and sharp grilles inside and outside. They patrolled each other. From the observations of these three days, there was almost no interruption. Xun also found that the Daqin camp was drawn into the Daqin camp to guard against the possibility of poisoning. What's more interesting is that the Daqin people also quoted the living water in the thatched cottage..."

"It's time, and I'm still saying that these are useless. If you can't attack the camp, you can't poison it, and you can't beat it in the field. Then we might as well just trap in the mountains and wait for death."

Lu Xun took the map roll, took a picture in his palm, and looked at them with a smile: "Of course it's interesting."

At that moment, he whispered to them about his plan. After hearing this, everyone thought about it, but they could only try it. Some of them met later and didn't believe it. Or they were a gentle and gentle person dressed as a scholar to act as a temporary leader, but after dealing with this Roman army several times, they were convinced.

"What can Lingqi do?" The girl watched as everyone walked out of the cave before she slowly walked out of the cold stone wall.

Lu Xun went over and wanted to reach out to help her, but he still didn't dare. "You are injured, so you should take a good rest. Leave the rest to Xun." Turning around and walking out, he turned around and smiled gently: "...... Don't be too grateful to me for helping you avenge this arrow."

The girl suddenly smiled and quickly tightened her pretty face, "He probably didn't see it so dark..." As she thought, the young man at the entrance of the cave had left. Looking at the lights burning quietly on the rock, her beautiful eyes blinked, and finally, she followed her out in a worried manner.

In the dark night, the stars and moon shine out the outline of the hills, and the night bird spread its wings and flew through the cold light. Below the half-moon, people figured behind the forest and touched the camp against the river in the distance. Soon, five more branches were divided and headed towards the direction of the four camp gates. One of the hundreds of people was bent and fumbled, and they were dinging and dinging.

They bypassed the routes of patrol teams and even walked slowly along the water bank. When they saw a few torches in the distance, someone in the team whispered: "It's here, there are five people from the Qin Dynasty guarding them. There is still one hour to change defenses. There is enough time, who will go?"

"Wang Qi, Chen Meng... Come with me." The speaker was one of the two hundred Bingzhou cavalry who came to this team. The Sima of the army called ten people, bowed and hid his body in the shadow of the river bank, avoiding the blind corner of the other party's vision. When he slowly approached, the three people behind him tied their bows and aimed at the figure holding the torch. The other soldiers pinched the hilts and moved forward in the water.

The sound of whistling is somewhat different from the sound of water flowing downstream.

"Did you hear anything?" Someone among the Roman soldiers stationed at the mouth of the river notice noticed the subtlety, said something to his companions around him, turned to look at the river bank, and followed his companions holding torches. At this moment, the sound of strings in the air was loud.

The Roman infantryman who had taken a few steps suddenly stopped. The torch fell to the ground with a bang, covering his chest and fell backwards. The rest of the people reacted and were about to shout, and in the darkness on the other side of the river bank, the second arrow flew towards the soldiers holding the torch and shot the person directly.

At this time, a sound came from the water surface.

Seven figures holding blades rushed up and chopped up the remaining two people. When the people from the team came over, they saw a pool of rotten meat connected into armor on the ground. The caravans covered their desire to vomit, and they all unloaded the bottles on their waists, and then fell into the living canal that flowed into the Roman military camp.

A moment later, the sound of the night owls crying was heard.

The sound of the night owl echoed the night sky, and sounds sounded from time to time in other directions. Then the Bingzhou soldiers standing at the mouth of the river grinned and threw the torches on the ground into the canal.

"Burn you big Qin short men to death!"

....

The military tent in the center of the camp.

"The cavalry of the Selius and their merchants and craftsmen were hiding in several places in this mountainous land." The silhouettes shining lights came from relaxed words. The commander of the Legion Ukusius put down the sheepskin map in his hand, "...The Selius people can't fight, they will hide. Now that they have found out, they will start to investigate tomorrow, search them all and hang them all!"

As he said, the night birds cried faintly outside, making him frown, but then he realized something was wrong. With the flag-holder, the centurion walked out, his eyes swept across the quiet military camp, and finally stopped in the east. His pupils suddenly shrank, and a fire was coming quickly like a fire snake.

"Call the soldiers! Gather!!!"

Ukusius roared out as he ran, and the flag officer beside him rushed to the camp with his people. The pool in the middle also blew out flames as he ran by. The commander of the legion was stunned. In his trance field of vision, several buildings in the underground canal also ignited a fire after a while. Soldiers ran out on fire and rolled on the ground. Some even hugged their companions running past, and they were both burned to death.

Up, the soldiers squatting by the pit at the end of the canal were the latest to discover it. Halfway through the pull, the flowing water burned its exposed butts directly with flames. Before I could pull up my pants, I escaped in panic. However, I saw the scene that half of the entire camp was trapped in the sea of ​​fire. The night wind blew over here, the flames rolled back, and more tents were also ignited at this moment. The fire that pierced people's eyes and the choking smoke swept here.

"Organize the soldiers to rush out immediately!" Ukusius covered his mouth and nose, waved his arms and roared hysterically.

The soldiers in chaos and panic did not need orders at all, and they knew to break through to the four gates. However, what awaited them were the Bingzhou cavalry and caravan guards blocking the gate, guarding the suspension bridge that was put down, wielding the hilt of the knife, slashing the flesh and blood, and arrows were flying, shooting towards the Roman soldiers climbing the bridle, blocking the bridge, the people on the wooden bridle fell down the ravines like dumplings, and the dead wanted to climb up, but the guards guarding there chopped off their fingers or whole palms. Then, the fire-burning water flowed into the ravines, and a shrill scream came from it.

If you look down from the sky, the burning deep ditch encircles the square camp from the outside, and the suspension bridge collapsed shortly afterwards in the flames and the weight of the crowded people... The entire camp of 10,000 people was cut off from the road leading to the outside, and tens of thousands of people were trapped in the huge sea of ​​fire.

The Bingzhou cavalry who stopped fighting outside, the caravan guards avoided the scorching temperature. The fire-burning Roman soldiers pushed and bumped into the solid barriers frantically. The fire-burning war horses ran around in the crowd in a woeful manner. The thick smoke covered the wind and spread violently. The violent coughing and dust made it extremely difficult for breathing.

....The people outside could no longer see clearly inside. They swallowed, looked at the initiator there, and were still recording something with a smile. No one made any sounds, and watched quietly as the fire continued to burn until dawn.

...

In the distance, he rode alone and ran away following the red light in the sky. The sky was shining brightly. Lu Bu was exhausted. He stood at a high place and looked ahead. The blue smoke rolled in the sky. The sunshine in Chuchen was a huge black mottled patch, and there was still a disgusting smell in the air. He knew what it was, but at the same time, he felt relieved.

Below, some soldiers also found the visitor and ran back excitedly, spreading the news.

Soon, the people who set the fire gathered together with smiles. The caravan bowed to Lu Bu who was rushing to come: "Mr. Wen is here, you have missed a good show."

Lu Bu simply bowed his hand and responded, but his eyes swept through the crowd. When he saw the Bingzhou cavalry under his command came over, he frowned and said, "Where is Lingqi?"

"Report to Mr. Wen, the lady is injured..."

"Dad! Lingqi is here."

A crisp female voice came from the forest in the distance, and a slow figure led the curly red rabbit out, and a white face smiled at the man: "Daughter has worried my father."

"It's good if you're okay, it's good if you're okay." Lu Bu felt relieved, and his face was somewhat tired. On the other side, a young man covered in gray quickly came forward: "Xun has seen Wen Hou."

Lu Bu looked at his daughter who was not bad, then looked at Lu Xun, and then looked at the Roman camp burned into black, "Did you do it?"

"Yes." Lu Xun kept a smile on his face, and he answered carefully after all. He saw the tall figure suddenly coming over and felt a little panicked. He subconsciously covered his butt and took a step back. What fell was his broad palm slapped his shoulders, and his body could not resist being shorter, causing Lu Lingqi next to him to cover her mouth and chuckle.

“Good job.”

A powerful voice sounded in Lu Xun's ears, and Lu Bu turned around and waved: "Call all the hidden people. It's time to go back. It's time to fight a big war in the west."

Lu Xun let go of his hands from behind his butt, pressed his elbows to the girl's arm, and whispered: "How about it? This fire is better than you."

"snort!"

Lu Lingqi slowly turned over the horse, followed her father, and stared at him: "If you have the ability, let's set a fire." She turned her head and shook her red feathers gently. The girl smiled and urged the curly red rabbit to trot away from here. The young man who was stunned for a while came to his senses, but slapped her.

"...It looks so good." He said with a smile.

***************

The sun gradually rose. Just as the group gathered their teams and rushed to the west, on the Anatolia East Jing front line, 12,000 infantrymen stepped across the hot land. After resting for a day, they contacted the Akira on both sides. After the Dayuan army, they rushed forward without stopping.

"My Xiliang Army is so strong! The city wall can't stop it, let alone the barbarians!" Guo Si said this while resting, waving his knife to the west: "It directly smashes the bastards and snatches all the valuable things!"
