Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 544: Sneaking into the camp overnight [asking for votes]

Stars filled the deep dome.

Zhao Anji and Fu Lu Zhitong led troops and horses, and after separating from Utis, they advanced north along the road, preparing to block the Egyptian army.

"The prince said before that Egypt has a long history. It is the origin of some kind of civilization just like our country. It was the first country in the world to establish state power. What do you mean?" Fu Luzhi looked like I am illiterate. Who am I afraid of? He asked openly .

"Their training, fighting methods, and combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. They have been passed down from generation to generation. Let us use our troops carefully."

Zhao Anji expressed his understanding.

He came back from Chang'an with Huo Qubing.

The Fulu branch has been fighting on the Parthian front during this period of time.

"We fought all the way from the Han, and the Han flag was flying thousands of miles away. The Egyptians, they are stinky, they are just souls killed by the sword."

Fu Luzhi said brazenly: "Ahead is the temporary camp where the Egyptians are stationed. I have been here and know them somewhat. They cling to Rome, are afraid of power, lack men who can fight to the death, and are definitely no match for our army."

At this time, the two men were covered by military forces, hiding their traces, and talking while riding horses.

But behind them, the Han army they led was quite strange.

Next to the two of them, the more than a thousand people galloping at the front of the queue were all Parthians. They were dressed in rags, with incomplete armor and incomplete weapons. They looked like a group of defeated troops.

On the other side of Fu Luzhi and Zhao Anji, there was another man, tall and strong, who was the leader of the defeated army, Luersas, who had been killed by Wutis just now!
Why is he here?

Zhao Anji turned his head and looked at Luersus: "Luo Xiu, your ability to pretend to be someone is really amazing. You have done amazing things many times!"

It turns out that this Luersus is played by Luo Xiu who turns into a cow and looks like a cow!
Luo Xiu, dressed as Luersus, was looking up.

Above the entire marching team, a bronze fragment hung.

The handwriting on it is like a dragon and a snake, and the iron is painted on a silver hook. It contains the contents of the plan that hides the secret from the outside world.

The power that Ji Jian exuded was consistent with the heaven and earth, covering the entire army.

"After becoming a semi-saint, the prince wrote the marching slips and blessed the general's orders. The power blends with the heaven and earth. It is too powerful."

Luo Xiu looked envious. After speaking, he looked away and looked ahead: "We're almost there."

Twenty miles ahead of them was the temporary camp of the Egyptian army waiting for Ruersas.

It is located at the junction of the Soya Promenade and the southwest corner of the Parthian border.

"The Egyptians are well prepared. They transported troops by water and land, intending to raid our Han army."

Fu Luzhi squinted and said, "Da Sima said that there is another Egyptian team heading north by water, hoping to attack Macedonia."

"When we were facing the enemy with the Han army, we dared to divide our troops to attack Macedonia..."

There was an open space in front of the Han army's march.

Under night, the Egyptians hid the tracks of the military camp and set up camp on the ground.

Outside the camp where they were stationed, there was a pillar that seemed to be made of gold. The incantation was dense, and a golden eagle stood on the pillar.

The golden eagle corresponds to the Egyptian god Horus and is a symbol of royal power in Egypt.

What's strange is that the golden eagle's eyes move up and down, looking around in the night, like a living thing.

Inside the military camp, Kadeep Khaluf was sitting in the tent.

He was the leading general in Egypt and was responsible for the military operation against Parthia.

"Aren't there any movements from Luersus' people yet? It's almost the appointed time."

Kadeep Khaluf frowned.

The deputy general beside him, Pluka, is a middle-aged Egyptian with dark complexion and bright eyes: "Shall we send people to the east to take a look?"

Haruf said: "No need, this place is close to the Parthian border, and sending people to explore could easily arouse the alert of the Han army.

We wait until the darkest night (midnight), and if they haven't come yet, we take action.

The Romans had launched their offensive at the turn of day and night (evening).

We must cooperate with Rome to achieve the best results. "

Khaluf is tall and thin and wears gold-colored armor that is only worn by high-ranking Egyptian generals.

Wearing a helmet of the same color on his head, the sides of the helmet are engraved with the texture of eagle wings.

In addition to his lieutenant Pluka, there was also a temple priest in his tent. He was an old man with long eye tails slanting upward at the outer corners of his eyes.

This kind of eye tail is a kind of makeup unique to Egyptian nobles and temple priests, regardless of gender.

It was this priest who used his magic to cover the military camp with some artifacts scattered around the camp, allowing the entire camp to blend in with the night. Unless you got close, it would be difficult to find out that there was a military camp hidden here.

"The time is coming, notify all ministries, pack up the camp and prepare to set off."

Haruf walked out of the tent and glanced at the night sky.

In the surrounding camps, tents were lined up and chariots were intertwined.

When the divine power was removed, the golden eagle standing on the pillar in front of the camp suddenly flapped its wings and landed on the scepter in the priest's hand, shrinking in size.

Throughout the camp, Egyptian soldiers lined up.

They wore leather armor that exposed their arms. The surface of the armor was engraved with intricate incantations, and they held shields and spears in their hands.

The soldiers gathered and the queues were strict.

Ancient Egypt has a long history, and their army was once very powerful.

Before the Twentieth Dynasty (the Shang Dynasty of China), Egypt had one of the strongest armies in the world at that time.

Even when their Eighteenth Dynasty fell, they still had 10,000+ regular troops.

Historically, there have been constant military frictions and conquests in Egypt and surrounding areas.

In addition, a logistics department that manages weapons, troop supplies and fortifications, known as the "Ordnance Academy", appeared early in Egypt.

They divided the army into infantry, navy, and chariot units, with battalions, companies, and other establishments. The system was very advanced.

Their typical regiment composition is: each regiment has eight hundred to two thousand infantry, equipped with two hundred to four hundred tanks.

A legion was divided into ten battalions, each of one hundred to three hundred warriors.

There were between 20 and [-] standing elites throughout Egypt.

Including local garrisons, the number of combatable troops exceeds 25.

Its combat effectiveness was once second to none in the Mediterranean region.

However, since it was conquered by Alexander and Egypt entered the period of Ptolemaic rule, it has lost its strong and independent fighting spirit, and its combat effectiveness has been invisibly weakened.

At this time, the number of soldiers brought by Haruf was thirty-five thousand.

Just as he came out of the big tent, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance.The military team in charge of security and exploration came back to report that Luersus' men had arrived.

In a short while, the people from 'Rulsas' rode up.

Haruf stood in the camp and watched from a distance, and whispered to the men around him: "These Parthian deserters are hiding in the mountains, their equipment is broken, and their military power is low. I doubt that they will be able to give out our things." What a difference it makes.”

The men led by Rulsus who came from the opposite side not only had their armors damaged, but some of them were holding broken spears. They looked really embarrassed.

Both sides approached.

Haruf personally led his people to greet him outside the military camp.

Roersas asked the large army to stop and rushed over with a personal army of several hundred people.

From a distance, Luersus dismounted and led people to approach on foot.

The two sides have communicated many times, and Egypt has sent supplies to the defeated troops twice.

Lieutenant General Haluf, who had met Ruelsus, was introducing him in a low voice. The one walking at the front was Ruelsus.

Haruf nodded slightly and took a few steps forward.

When the two sides were about seven or eight feet away, Haruf suddenly felt a sense of alarm and hesitated before he stepped forward.

At this time, Luo Xiu, disguised as Luersus, came five or six feet away from him and grinned.

Behind Luersus, one on the left and one on the right, Zhao Anji and Fu Luzhi rushed out of the disguised Parthian team.

The two of them pounced on Haruf like evil tigers.

Other Han armies also mobilized and faced the enemy separately.

Fu Luzhi and Zhao Anji, with the improvement of the Han Dynasty's national destiny, have been fighting for years, and now they are in the realm of heaven and man.

Clang!
The two of them drew their swords in no particular order to enhance their own military power and military symbols. The sword power flashed and was as fast as lightning.

Zhao Anji relied on the talent of the bitter strategy and was not afraid of being injured at all, so he charged forward.

Haruf was startled, reacted hastily, drew out the sword with golden dark patterns on his waist, and stabbed it head on.

Zhao Anji did not dodge, but took the opportunity to swing the knife with his backhand and slashed Haluf's arm.

Fu Luzhi shouted wildly and slashed diagonally from the side with his sword.

One is good and the other is strange, and the two work together wonderfully.

Clang!

Haruf retracted his long sword and collided with Zhao Anji's Han Dao. When he retracted the sword, he found that the sword in his hand actually had a gap.

He had already realized that the Han army was coming to attack the camp, and he was shocked: the Han army's weapons were so sharp.

Fu Luzhi followed the direction of the sword and approached, using every move to risk his life.

Facing the siege of the two who were not afraid of life and death, Haruf was surrounded by danger in an instant.

In the flash of light and stone, figures crisscrossed and separated.

Haruf took several steps back, blood gushing out from his chest and waist at the same time.

In his chest, Zhao Anji did not hesitate to exchange injuries for injuries and quickly defeated the enemy. The wound stabbed in from the front with a Han sword could be fatal.

In contrast, Zhao Anji's abdomen was also penetrated by his sword, and the divine power contained in the sword was burning the wound.

However, Zhao Anji launched the bitter flesh trick, and his powerful recovery power quickly eliminated the divine power in the wound and restored himself.

Haruf swayed and slowly sat down.

Before he died, he looked to one side.

Following the launch of Zhao Anji and Fu Luzhi, the Han army from behind came over with thundering hoofbeats, armed with repeating crossbows, and dense arrows shot from the quivers.

The golden eagle wing pattern on Haruf's helmet is becoming dim and losing the light of divine power.

The last thought in his mind was the arrows of the Han army. They were the densest arrows he had ever seen. After the first wave of arrows was shot, there was a second wave and a third wave. The queues alternated, keeping the arrows suppressed and pushing forward. .

In the night, killings broke out.

When Utis defeated the defeated troops and rushed over from the direction of Aihe Pass, it was almost dawn.

Zhao Anji and Fu Luzhi went to the battlefield in person, covered in blood.

The Egyptians lost more than half of their casualties, and the remaining troops began to retreat south.

"Catch up and seize their ship!"

"Steal the boat?"

"Yes, defeating this group of Egyptians is the first step. Your Majesty has arranged people who are good at maneuvering boats to cooperate with us along the west coast.

We grabbed the ship and headed south to attack the Egyptian mainland. "

After a short conversation, Utis understood, and Huo Qubing asked him to come to support and annihilate the Egyptian tribesmen.It was not meant to help Zhao Anji and Fu Luzhi defeat the Egyptian soldiers in front of them, but to let them join forces and attack the Egyptian mainland.

Wutis' thoughts moved slightly, and he vaguely guessed Huo Qubing's true combat intention, and he suddenly became excited...

In Ctesiphon, Huo Qubing took an overview of the battle situation.

The offensive launched by the Romans was mainly based on the fourth and fifth legions that had previously confronted the Han army, and mainly attacked Macedonia and the Hunxie Department of the Han army.

The Roman Third Legion, which has entered the combat area, has not officially appeared yet.

Similarly, Zhang Cigong and Zhao Ponu's tribe sent by Huo Qubing did not participate in the war.

The Romans wanted to wait for the Egyptians to come and cooperate with them.Then the third corps was used to attack from the front and back in order to defeat the Han army, capture all areas of Seleucid and Macedonia in one fell swoop, and severely damage the main force of the Han army.

"It's a pity that the Egyptians will never come up."

Huo Qubing's eyes turned to the marching map, but he frowned slightly.

Rome took the initiative to declare war, and its trump card would never be a simple third legion, nor would it stop at the assistance of the Egyptians.Even Huo Qubing hasn't seen through what else they have planned.

Egypt.

Ptolemy VIII got up from his bedroom when the sky was dim.

He found that his beautiful queen, stepdaughter and niece Cleopatra III was not around.

His wife's young and beautiful face flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.

He got up from the couch and heard the rapid footsteps of the attendants outside the door.

The figure of the attendant walked into the bedroom: "Pharaoh, there is news from the front line."

Ptolemy VIII smiled and said firmly: "Where have you fought? Have you ever torn apart the Han army's defense line in the south?"
