Global Hearing: I Become Qin Shi Huang's Defender

Chapter 69 Caesar's training before the battle, Octavian's surprise!
In the battlefield of different dimensions,

The killing is still going on!

In these mercenary regiments, almost all the mercenaries came for money.

At this time, when I saw these tiger and cardinal riders wearing beast helmets, riding war horses, and holding big knives, they had already lost their fighting spirit, and the morale that had not yet been built up had already been blown to pieces. Complete collapse!

In the sky, billowing black clouds cover the sky and the sun.

Apart from the flashing lightning, the only source of light in the entire camp was the faint light reflected from the campfire and torches.

Against the background of this faint light.

More than a thousand tigers and horses are riding, as if entering the land of no one!

"Quick! Everyone, quickly pick up the spears on the ground for defense!"

A Celtic mercenary leader yelled at the trembling mercenaries around him.

Celts, Slavs, and Germans are known as the three major barbarians in Europe.

These three barbarian clans are all known for their tough folk customs, bravery and good fighting skills.

As the leader of the Celtic mercenaries, after a brief panic, he has come back to his senses.

however,
No matter how he shouted.

The surrounding mercenaries still went their own way, scrambling to escape.

"The devil...they are the army of the devil."

"We can't beat them, run away."

"They are all monsters, they are all devils, we are going to die, we are all going to die..."

The mercenaries who had lost their fighting spirit just ran for their lives frantically, and when they saw the tiger horses wearing ferocious beast helmets, they were all frightened and scared out of their wits.

It doesn't matter if they run for their lives.

The Celtic mercenary leader had already organized some Celtic raiders to prepare for battle.

But before he had time to line up, he was smashed to pieces by these pig teammates who only cared about escaping.

"Boom card!"

A thunderstorm suddenly exploded in the sky.

The leader of the Celtic mercenary managed to stabilize his figure, but through the light of the thunder, he saw a flying horse galloping towards him.

Immediately, it was a young man with a white face and beardless, slightly immature.

The Celtic mercenary leader noticed that this boy was different from other cavalrymen.

The other cavalrymen were all wearing ferocious beast helmets, and their faces were covered by the visors of the beast helmets, making it difficult to distinguish.

Only this young man, with a shiny silver helmet on his head, could see his face at a glance.

"At this age, you can only be a young soldier in Rome."

This was the subconscious thought of the Celtic mercenary leader.

As a Celtic, but also a mercenary leader.

Although his status is not as good as that of the infantry in the regular Roman legion, his treatment is not bad.

Its size is even more terrifying.

Just the height like an iron tower is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with a horse.

in his eyes.

The young man who came on horseback in front of him looked like a thin monkey.

Seeing this young man, he quickly rushed towards him on horseback.

The Celtic leader advanced instead of retreating, picked up a long javelin on the ground, raised his arm as thick as an old tree trunk, and stabbed at the young man.

In his opinion.

With my own strength, I can definitely penetrate this young man, including man and horse.

thought here.

A cruel smile appeared on the face of the Celtic leader.

As the leader of the Roman mercenary regiment, he fought with Julius Caesar for many years. What he enjoys the most is piercing his opponents, then raising them high and shaking the javelin vigorously.

While listening to the opponent's heart-piercing screams, he felt the warm pleasure of being bathed in blood.

however,
Just when he thought that his javelin would pierce the young man in front of him.

A weird scene happened.

In the nick of time.

The young man pulled the reins abruptly.

Under the shackles of the reins, at the moment when the javelin stabbed, the horse's head was on one side, avoiding the opponent's attack.

at the same time.

The young general who was originally on the horse's back unexpectedly leaned towards the side of the horse's belly in a strange way. The whole person and the horse formed a "D" shape, and barely escaped the attack of the spear.

Seeing this scene,
The Celtic mercenary leader was shocked for a moment.

So agile reaching out, so clever riding!
This young general wearing a bright silver helmet is none other than Huo Qubing.

in that era.

Roman cavalry did not have stirrups.

But the cavalry of the Western Han Dynasty already had a single stirrup.

However, even a single stirrup is enough!
It was because of the help of the stirrup that Huo Qubing's entire body was eerily parallel to the ground.

at the same time.

With the first knife in his hand, he stabbed out like a letter from a snake.

The Celtic mercenary leader looked at Sen Han's blade, and his scalp felt numb for an instant.

He wanted to dodge, but his body was strong and his agility was inferior.

puff--

"what!!!"

With a muffled sound, the ring head knife passed through the elder brother!

There was a shrill scream, and the blade was mottled with blood, which ticked to the ground along Huo Qubing's hand holding the sword tightly.

The terrifying momentum of the galloping horse unexpectedly lifted up the Celtic mercenary leader who weighed [-] jin. After dragging for a long distance, he slipped from the blade and fell heavily to the ground.

Before landing, there was no sound.

"Lord Amanda died in battle!"

"Master Amanda was killed by those devils..."

Inside the camp, there were heart-piercing shouts from the mercenaries.

The death of the Celtic leader named Amanda shocked the frightened mercenaries even more.

Before they came back to their senses and ran for their lives, they were killed by other tiger riders who rushed over.

"All the riders listen to the order, let's make a quick decision!"

"Kill all enemies in sight!"

Under the dark night sky, Huo Qubing's cold voice was erratic.

Huo Qubing got off his horse and wandered around under the flickering firelight. The faint firelight reflected Huo Qubing's figure. He could only hear his resolute voice, but could not see his expression clearly.

Although these mercenaries could not understand Huo Qubing's words, they could feel Senhan's murderous intent from the words.

Those who were still fleeing for their lives suddenly became happier.

And Huo Qubing's military order brought the killing to a climax!
In terms of physical strength, the vast majority of Easterners are undoubtedly at a disadvantage compared to Westerners.

This is a matter of genetics and race, and it can't be changed.

Even though these mercenaries had far less food than the regular Roman army, or even the Allied legion, they were much stronger than the Han army.

But at this time,

It was this group of strong men with big arms and round waists, but they were hacked and killed by more than a thousand tiger tributes like chickens and sheep!

Only less than an hour passed.

Corpses are everywhere!

In the dark night, the mercenaries ran for their lives in a hurry. Many people were tripped by debris and fell to the ground in a panic.

Before they got up, they were trampled to death by the fleeing army behind them!
Some mercenaries who were still sane, knowing that there was no hope of escape, picked up weapons on the ground and spontaneously resisted.

however.

The scene in front of me was too tragic.

Every time the thunder flashed, you could see the horseshoes of those cavalry jumping high, and the big swords in their hands slashed down like a machine.

Looking back, the green eyes, like beasts, and the ferocious visor on the beast's helmet made them shudder even more.

Under fear, these soldiers who wanted to resist huddled together desperately, no matter what formation they were in.

The hands holding the spear and javelin trembled like chaff because of extreme fear.

The people panicked like frightened rabbits, and they kept squeezing into the crowd while looking left and right in horror.

At this moment.

"Look!"

A mercenary who was originally ashen-faced looked bright, and pointed to the distance, "It's the regular Roman army, they are here to save us!"

The mercenaries who were already desperate in their hearts heard the words, and the desire to survive was instantly ignited in their eyes, and they looked into the distance.

really.

In the direction of the pass in the distance, a long string of torches is rushing towards this side in line.

obviously.

These people were either the reinforcements of the Roman regular infantry regiments or the Roman allied troops.

see this scene.

The mercenaries who were fleeing in all directions finally ignited a bit of will to fight.

at the same time.

Huo Qubing also spotted the long dragon rushing towards him in the distance.

"Champion Hou, what should we do?"

A tiger cardinal asked.

Huo Qubing pondered for a while, "From the perspective of marching speed, they need at least half an hour."

Paused for a moment.

Huo Qubing raised his hand.

"All the riders obey the order!"

Hu Benqi, who was still fighting, looked at Huo Qubing in an instant.

"Set fire, retreat outside!"

Huo Qubing gave orders to a group of tiger and cardinal riders.

The little school heard the words and looked at the sky: "The weather is weird, only the sound of thunder, but no raindrops."

When Huo Qubing heard this, he smiled lightly.

"Drought thunder on the flat ground, within two hours, there must be rain, but two hours is enough!"

Say it.

Huo Qubing picked up the fire on the ground and threw it towards the camp of the Roman mercenaries.

The other tiger and cardinal riders quickly followed suit.

These camps were originally built with linen and wood bundles, all of which are flammable.

In less than a moment, the entire mercenary camp was already in flames!
As for those mercenaries, although the arrival of reinforcements has already ignited the desire to survive.

However, they were the same, scared out of their wits by the Tiger Benqi, and could only watch helplessly as the camp turned into a sea of ​​flames.

After doing all this.

I saw some mercenaries who were eager to try and stepped forward.

Huo Qubing rode with the tiger and charged for a while.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

"retreat!"

Huo Qubing waved his hand violently.

In an instant.

Under the leadership of Huo Qubing, more than a thousand tigers rode away.

"Fight the fire, put out the fire!"

After Huo Qubing and Hubenqi left, the panicked mercenary came back to his senses and shouted hastily.

however,
After burning for so long, the fire has spread.

Moreover, many mercenaries were frightened. After escaping from the camp, they hid in the mountains and forests, and could not come back to support for a while.

Even if there is water around.

To extinguish such a fire, it is not an easy task to reorganize manpower.

But fortunately.

Another quarter of an hour later, the infantry regiment of the Roman Empire arrived.

The leader is not someone else.

It was Caesar, and senior Roman generals such as Crassus, Antony, Lepidus, and Labinus.

After seeing the horrors of the mercenary camp.

Julius Caesar looked quite normal, and the eyes of those generals instantly showed unprecedented anger.

So despicable!

They have experienced countless battles, and have never encountered such a thing as a sneak attack.

"I'm going after them!"

Labinus, who was the most irritable, said angrily.

however,
Just as he was about to go after him, a young man beside him suddenly stopped him.

This young man also looked very immature, and seemed to be about the same age as Huo Qubing.

"Stop chasing."

"They came on horseback. With our two legs, it is difficult to catch up. Even if the cavalry attack, we may not be able to catch up."

Said the young man to Labinus.

Labinus naturally didn't listen to the young man's words.

Labinus himself was an extremely irritable person, and when he saw someone blocking him, he was about to get angry.

However, after seeing clearly the person speaking.

When he reached the words on his lips, he swallowed them back abruptly.

If it is someone else.

He might even yell.

But he had to give this young man face.

This young man is no one else.

It was Caesar's grand-nephew, who was later adopted by Caesar as Octavian.

At this time, Octavian, although he looked about the same age as Huo Qubing.

But Westerners are generally more precocious.

Coupled with Octavian, he is taller and handsome.

At this time, Octavian was only in his teens.

Although young.

But its status cannot be underestimated by Labinus.

Without any choice.

Labinus had no choice but to lead people to put out the fire first.

however.

After burning for so long.

Even with the addition of the Roman infantry regiment, it would not be easy to put out the fire.

But fortunately.

After about an hour, the rainstorm suddenly came!

With the rain watering and the Roman soldiers struggling to put out the fire, the mercenaries who fled into the forest also rushed back one after another.

The fire was finally brought under control.

The pouring rain formed a rain curtain, covering the entire earth.

The raindrops fell on the burning wood, making a harsh "sizzling" sound.

"Father."

Octavian walked up to Caesar.

Just as he was about to say something, he found that Caesar seemed to be in deep thought, standing where he was.

The black pupils seem to have no focal length.

Octavian didn't know what Caesar was thinking, he could only see the remaining flames in the camp, reflected in Caesar's black pupils, flickering non-stop.

It's been a long time.

Caesar took a deep breath.

"Octavian, do you know..."

Caesar suddenly said with some melancholy, "Our enemies are not people from our time. Their age is more than 100 years earlier than ours."

"More than 100 years earlier?" Octavian heard this, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

although.

Neither Caesar nor Octavian expected that the other party would raid at night.

But Caesar is the dictator of the Roman Empire, and Octavian is the future emperor of the Roman Empire.

they know.

In war, there are no rules at all.

There was no intersection between the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty, and the only intersection was the businessmen who passed through Central Asia.

Therefore.

At this time, they also realized it.

The war thinking of the Han Dynasty is different from that of Rome and the states of the European continent.

But even so.

Both Caesar and Octavian were extremely human.

If you lose, you lose, there is no need to worry too much.

But even so.

Octavian was still very surprised.

To his surprise, it was the age of the other party, which was 100 years earlier than the Roman Empire!

They all suffered heavy losses against the Han Dynasty.

If it was Rome 100 years ago, in the same era, if they were fighting against each other...

The outcome of that war must be even crueler than it is now.

"Everyone, I caught a deserter."

at this time.

Abinus walked back with an angry expression on his face.

In his hand, he also carried a trembling mercenary.

For these mercenaries.

Abinus naturally didn't have a good face, and his eyes were full of contempt.

He threw the mercenary on the ground like he was throwing sundries.

Under the narration of this mercenary.

Caesar, Octavian, and other Roman Empire officers finally figured out the circumstances of the attack.

however,
When I heard that the officer on the other side was just a young boy with an immature face.

A look of shock suddenly flashed in Octavian's eyes.

at this time.

Caesar suddenly spoke up.

"It's him?"

Caesar the Great said with some uncertainty.

The others had never seen Huo Qubing.

But Caesar the Great attended the hearing with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

He had never met Emperor Wu of Han.

but,

He could feel that the opponent's aura was so strong that even he was a little uncomfortable.

then.

He even saw Huo Qubing, the champion of the big man.

Although he had never seen Huo Qubing fight, the vigor of Huo Qubing still left an indelible influence on Caesar's heart.

Except Caesar.

Neither Octavian nor other Roman generals had seen Han Wu and Huo Qubing.

However, he is much older than Octavian.

After only a brief surprise, Caesar's expression returned to normal.

"Father, do you know him?"

Octavian asked after hearing Caesar's slight sigh.

"At that so-called hearing, I met once."

Paused for a moment.

"Octavian."

Caesar suddenly spoke up.

"Father."

Octavian quickly stood up straight.

Caesar didn't turn his head back, his eyes still stayed on the firefighters who were going back and forth.

"Tell me, what have you learned from this battle?"

Caesar asked.

For Octavian, he was trained as an heir.

Therefore, when fighting, Octavian is often stood by his side.

Octavian thought for a moment after hearing the words.

"Father, I think I have learned a little bit. We cannot use our thinking to measure the enemy's thinking."

After listening to Octavian's words, Caesar nodded.

But soon, he shook his head lightly again.

Octavian couldn't help but feel puzzled seeing Caesar's actions, and looked at Caesar suspiciously.

Caesar glanced at Octavian calmly, as if the casualties of the mercenary legion were not worth mentioning in his heart.

"Octavian, you are a recognized genius in Rome."

"Not only do you have unique insights on war and politics, but even many young and beautiful ladies in Rome will fall for you."

"You have to know that the most indispensable thing in the world is genius."

"It's like the young general of the Han Dynasty."

"Although he is not as tall or as strong as you, he is also about the same age as you."

"But in terms of military ability, he is far superior to you."

"So, this time, what you should learn most is not war thinking, but to know that there are places in the world that are stronger than Rome, and there are geniuses better than you in the world."

"No matter when, you can't be proud."

"do you understand?"

As he spoke, Caesar patted Octavian on the shoulder.

"Understood, father!"

Octavian nodded heavily.
