Three Kingdoms Eschatology

The next day, Peterseus switched gears.When his phalanx approached the gap in the low wall, he transformed into a tortoise shell formation in advance, only waiting to rush through the gap and start fighting with the defenders hiding behind the low wall.Unexpectedly, the defender laid a row of logs behind the low wall, and placed planks on the logs.A well-stringed ballista was placed on the wooden board, which became a mobile ballista position.

When Peterseus' phalanx was still more than ten battles away from the gap.These ballistas were suddenly pushed to the gap and aimed at their turtle shell array.The stone bullets fired directly at close range are astonishingly powerful.The soldiers in the front row were smashed together with their shields, and they knocked down the soldiers in the third and fourth rows in the back one after another.

After several large holes appeared in front of the turtle shell formation, filled with Greek fire, the ignited clay pots were also thrown into the square formation from these large holes.The blazing flames then disintegrated the attacking tortoise shell array, and the defenders behind the low wall line of defense once again brandished short swords and javelins...

Today, on the premise of learning from the lessons of the previous two days, Petersius changed his tactics again.And this time he has made up his mind, this time even if the attacking soldiers encounter unexpected blows from the defenders and cause excessive casualties, he will not stop attacking, but will rely on his strength to break through the defense line of the defenders in one fell swoop , take Tartus and open the gates to Beirut.

Seeing that the phalanx of our army was gradually approaching the low wall, Peterseus waved his hand, and the order soldiers around him waved the order flags.In the distance, a commander in command of the cavalry immediately led thousands of cavalry towards the low wall.

At this moment, at the gap in the low wall facing the three infantry phalanxes, the defenders did the same trick again.Ballistas and groups of soldiers holding javelins appeared at the gap.But when their catapults fired stone balls, and the soldiers threw their javelins.The more dense javelins of the attacking side also threw them at them.The sound of howling and wailing resounded through the heaven and earth, and a large number of soldiers from both sides fell to the ground amidst the bloody rain.The catapults at the gap were also filled with javelins, and the catapult players lay dead on them.

Under the urging of the sound of bugles, Peterseus's already scattered soldiers continued to swarm towards the gap.The defenders also gathered towards the gap, trying to block it.

The cavalry of Peterseus had also rushed to the gap, but several refusal horses suddenly appeared at the gap, blocking the way.They also use rolling wood to complete this action.The few riders in the front didn't have time to rein in their horses, and bumped their heads against the sharpened wooden stakes that rejected the horses.The knight flew several battles away, and died on the spot after bleeding from his seven orifices.After the warriors in the rear reined in their horses with great difficulty, three or four hundred defenders appeared after rejecting the horses, throwing their javelins one after another.The cavalry in front instantly turned into hedgehogs, and the cavalry in the rear had to retreat temporarily to avoid it.

Peterseus was not too surprised by this, it seemed to be in his expectation.He sneered and said: "Order! Light infantry, come on! The three phalanxes behind also follow!"

After the order was given, thousands of Roman light infantry rushed out like skirmishers and rushed towards the low wall.And the other three phalanxes of thousands of people as the backup of the first three squares also moved forward quickly...

Chapter 950 Crisis Moments

Roman light infantry is different from regular infantry. They don't have large shields in their hands, but only carry a spear as a weapon, and they don't have heavy ring armor on their bodies, but wear leather armor.So they move extremely fast.

Generally, they don't fight in formations, but fight in the form of skirmishers in situations that are not suitable for military formations.This is exactly the situation on the Tartus battlefield at this time.

These light infantry quickly approached the low wall. They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the defenders gathered in the gap, directly climb over the low wall, and then attack the defenders interspersed.

At the same time, the three backup phalanxes of Petersius also marched near the gap, and they were going to relay the front phalanx to continue to storm the defense line of the defenders.

For the defenders at this time, it can be described as precarious.They were weak and almost all concentrated in a few gaps to block the attacking enemy soldiers, causing the light infantry to climb over the low wall and kill them from behind as if they were in no one's land.But the enemy directly in front of them is killing more and more, and the more they fight, the stronger they become.On my own side, there are constant loss of casualties, and the number of people is getting smaller and smaller.

Peterseus' ballista launched another round of bombardment, and scattered the refusal horses blocking the fourth gap, and those war cavalry also regrouped and charged towards the gap again.

The general in command of the defenders had a look of despair in his eyes. He drew his sword in his right hand and a javelin in his left and shouted, "Follow me!" Opened a gap, trying to block the war cavalry that was coming like a hurricane.At this time, the defense lines on the other three gaps were already crumbling.

Just as Peterseus, who was holding the winning ticket, showed a smug expression on his face, he suddenly heard a muffled sound like thunder rolling in his ears.

Peterseus looked up at the sky, but it was clear as usual, and then he felt the ground tremble slightly, and he heard exclamations in his ears: "There are enemy troops behind!", "There are enemy horses rushing from behind!" !"

He hurriedly turned his head to look, and there were about a thousand cavalry lined up behind him, sweeping towards this side.The cavalry and horses in the middle were all shining with metallic luster, obviously they were all well-equipped heavy cavalry.

Before Petersius, who opened his mouth wide in fear, could react, hundreds of arrows shot towards this side from both sides, and a dozen Roman soldiers fell to the ground immediately after being hit by the arrows.Under the high-speed impact of the horses, some of these arrows could penetrate the ring armor on the Roman soldiers and sink into their bodies.

"Quick! Call back the cavalry! Face them!" Peterseus finally came back to his senses and shouted loudly.Then he added: "Withdraw our infantry too! Form the formation! Quick, quick!"

The Roman bugles sounded loudly again.The cavalry who had already rushed to the gap hastily turned their horses and rushed back. The general defending the gap and his hundred and ten guardsmen who blocked the gap threw the few dozen javelins left in their hands one after another. More than a dozen riders who were too close were killed and injured by their horses.

Obviously, if it weren't for this sudden change.They would all be dead under the iron hooves of Peterseus's cavalry in half an hour.The defending general set up an awning to look into the distance, and then suddenly realized, he slapped his thigh and said: "Great. We are saved, this must be our Allied Army of Great Liang coming!"

The Roman war cavalry also changed their formation in a short time, and rushed up to face Liang Jun's war cavalry in a row.

A Roman knight pointed his lance at the oncoming enemy cavalry.The scenery on both sides passed by him quickly, and the wind whistling in his ears.The enemy rider on the opposite side also rushed towards him at an unimaginable speed.He thought to himself that in two or three seconds, he would be able to stab the other party with a spear in his hand.But just after this thought, he felt his heart was empty, as if someone had taken it away, and when he looked down, an arrow had shot through his chest.Then he rolled under the horse, and the iron hooves of the enemy rider ran past him.

Before the war cavalry on the two wings touched, a large number of Roman war cavalry were shot down by the sharp arrows of Liang Jun's Qingqi flying feathers.The Roman war cavalry who fought against Liang Jun's heavy cavalry in the middle were not much better.Most of them, the spears in their hands were easily swung away by the mace in the hands of the opponent's knight, and then fell off the horse with a stick.

After the two cavalry lines passed by the wrong horse, there were only a few hundred remaining Roman war cavalry, which can almost be described as annihilation of the entire army.However, Liang Jun only lost more than ten riders.Liang Jun cavalry ignored the surviving Roman cavalry and continued to charge forward.

At this time, Peterseus' front army phalanx had not yet come and retreated. Seeing this scene, he was shocked and rushed to join his own phalanx.

Behind the low wall, the soldiers of Alexander's army saw that the opponent's main force had withdrawn, turned around and attacked the enemy's light infantry.The latter caught and fought face to face. Naturally, it was not the opponents of the regular Roman infantry who were holding large shields, wearing ring armor, and holding sharp knives. They were beheaded to the ground one by one with their swords.Some wanted to escape over the wall, but were shot down by the defenders with a shield, and then pierced his neck with a sword in his hand.

Seeing that he was getting closer to a phalanx of his own army, Peterseus, who was fleeing on horseback, heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind. He thought it was his own lieutenant general, but he didn't care.

When he found that his own soldiers in the opposite phalanx exclaimed, he realized something was wrong, but it was too late.With a muffled pop, the blade of a spear protruded from his chest.

Then, a big hand grabbed the neck of his armor, and the sharp blade of a saber sliced ​​across his neck, and his head was separated from his body.At the last moment of his life, he saw that the one who took his life was a knight with silver armor and white horse, yellow skin and black hair.This person is Zhao Yun, the commander-in-chief of Liang Jun.

On the basis of the original three reserve phalanxes, the retreating Peterseus infantry formed three circular formations for defense.The shield wall surrounded the periphery, and the javelins, which were used as short spears, exposed their blades with cold light in the gaps in the shields, and the soldiers in the middle pushed their large shields over their heads.Like three burly turtles.

Liang Jun's war cavalry did not rush forward, but circled around them.Zhao Yun held the head of Peterseus in his hands and loudly persuaded him to surrender himself.Although these Roman soldiers could not understand Chinese, they could guess it.It's just that they were not moved by it and continued to maintain their formation.

But half an hour later.After clearing out the remnants of the enemy behind the low wall, the soldiers of Alexander's army aimed more than a dozen ballistas at the three circular formations.At the same time, the infantry of Zhao Yun's army who were equipped with individual ballistas also rushed over, and they pointed their ballistas at the circles.They only waited for the ballista of the friendly army to blast the turtle shells, and then they fired dense ballistas.These crossbows could easily penetrate the ring armor of Roman soldiers.

The generals of Alexander's army made the last attempt to persuade them to surrender, but when they were about to make a move, they saw white flags being raised in the enemy's formation...

Chapter 951 The Lagoon on the Isthmus

The northern suburbs of Beirut.Alexander personally went out of the city two miles to meet the Liang-Luo allied forces who had returned in triumph.

The great victory of Tartus not only relieved Alexander's imminent crisis, but also captured nearly [-] soldiers and horses, which was close to the strength of a Roman reorganized legion.This made Alexander overjoyed, knowing that there were only three legions he could directly command and mobilize.

Therefore, when Alexander met Zhao Yun, he was full of warm and respectful speeches, without any airs of a monarch.At the celebration banquet, Zhao Yun had a good conversation with him through the interpreter.After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Yun turned to the business: "Your Majesty, the enemy army has suffered a severe setback. We need to seize the opportunity, take advantage of the time to catch our breath, and immediately march northward to Asia Minor. Go straight to Byzantium!"

Unexpectedly, Alexander sighed and shook his head again and again.Zhao Yun asked suspiciously, "What? Your Majesty still has difficulties?"

Alexander replied: "The general doesn't know. At present, there are only a few provinces in North Africa and Judea in the east of the sea in Rome. The two provinces of Syria recognize me as Roman emperor. In these provinces, Judea and Syria have been fighting for years. It is incapable of providing food and supplies for the army. The logistics is completely dependent on the provinces of North Africa.

If we invade Asia Minor immediately, our strength will not be a problem.But food and supplies are a problem.In addition to extending the supply line to thousands of miles, the more important reason is that there are dozens of hundreds of Bedouin tribes entrenched in the great desert of North Africa.They have now become the minions of Macrinus, constantly attacking and harassing the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the middle and lower reaches of the Nile River, burning down our grain and grass warehouses.Loot our baggage and kill our people.In this way, our supply logistics is even more difficult.Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult to invade Asia Minor and march thousands of miles to capture Byzantium. "

Zhao Yun suddenly realized and said: "It turns out that your majesty is worried about this, but it doesn't matter. The Ma Chao army that has been transferred to the North African battlefield is an army that our army is very good at fighting nomadic tribes in desert areas. General Ma Chao is also a rare courageous and courageous army in our country. He is a good general. He will definitely help His Majesty wipe out those Bedouin bandits as quickly as possible."

Alexander nodded and said, "If that's the case, it would be great. Once the war situation in North Africa stabilizes, we can send troops northward. Put down the Macrinus rebellion."

……

In the Yellow Sand Desert and the Chiyan Gobi, a team that is two or three miles long winds its way.This army has chariots, horses, camels, and even ostriches, and no one is marching on foot.They are Liang Jun's Ma Chao Legion.

"Report to the commander, the Isthmus of Suez is ahead." A scout Pegasus came to Ma Chao to report.

Ma Chao nodded his head slightly, and said to the commanding soldiers beside him: "Send the order, the whole army will speed up, and after passing through the isthmus, they can set up camp and rest."

Immediately the whole army accelerated, and the horses, camels, and ostriches all galloped under the yelling of their drivers.Everyone found that the red and yellow hues around them were getting less and less, but the emerald green colors were getting more and more.

Ma Chao was not very surprised by this. He already had some understanding of the geographical situation here, and knew that the Nile Delta was across the Isthmus of Suez.It is a super oasis with a radius of hundreds of miles between the North African desert and the Bedouin desert.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the soldiers in front, and the soldiers around Ma Chao cheered: "Water! There is water there, what a big lake!" Ma Chao looked around, and there was indeed a stretch of things at least ten miles away, which could not be seen from north to south. The blue lake at the end.If it weren't for the mirror-like calm of the water and the lush greenery on the shore, one would think it was a fjord in the Red Sea or the Mediterranean.

Although Ma Chao's army brought enough fresh water, they were marching in the desert after all, so each soldier would be provided with a strict daily limit of fresh water.Now that they saw such a large lake, they were naturally overjoyed.

Ma Chao nodded, and the soldiers of his guard battalion rode out with understanding, and rushed towards the lake happily.They said they were investigating for the whole army, but they could enjoy the sufficient amount of fresh water as they were close to the water.

But they soon returned disappointed. The captain of the Guards Battalion who ran to the lake first took a palm of water and poured it into his mouth, his eyes widened immediately, and he spat it out again with a wow.Cursing in his mouth: "Damn, it's still salt water!"

After listening to their reports, Ma Chao laughed and said, "This must have been a part of the sea, and then it was surrounded by changing land and became a lagoon. The water is naturally salty. But it doesn't matter. Look, there is a lush green area in front of you." , there is a large oasis formed by the divergence of the Nile River into the sea, and we may not find water to drink if we go a few miles further.”

All the soldiers cheered again, but a general said unintentionally: "If this lake is not surrounded by land, wouldn't the north and south seas be connected?" Another person immediately took up the words and said: " If the two seas are connected, we still need to take a boat to get to Africa, no trouble!"

The speaker had no intentions, but the listener had intentions. Ma Chao suddenly had an idea in his mind.He yelled at the soldiers: "Bring a pen and paper to XX, XX wants to write a letter to His Majesty!"

His loud voice startled all the soldiers around him, not knowing why he became so excited.Ma Chao took a pen and paper, hurriedly wrote his thoughts on the paper, then sealed it in a cloth bag, and sent several soldiers to send them to the imperial court of Taixifeng immediately.

Half an hour later, Ma Chao's army completely left the desert and entered the lush Nile Delta plain.They pitched camp by a small river, and the soldiers rushed excitedly into the river to take a bath and cool off.There are already people living here, and some farmers who were plowing in the farmland saw them and ran away in a panic, some fled into their own houses, and some went to the local government office to report to the officials.

Before the sun had completely set, a Roman army squad of dozens of people appeared in front of the camp of the Ma Chao Legion.When the local government heard the news, they immediately guessed that they were friendly troops who had come to help eradicate the Bedouin banditry, and immediately sent this security force team to meet them.

The Nile Delta was the most densely populated area in the provinces of Egypt and even in the southern kingdom of the Roman Mediterranean.Under the guidance of the local government officials in various towns and cities, Ma Chao's army successfully crossed the delta with a radius of hundreds of miles, and arrived at the city at the western end of the delta, which is also the capital of the Egyptian province-Alexander.

The governor of the Egyptian province led his troops five miles out of the city to welcome Ma Chao with the grandest ceremony.Ma Chao also asked the soldiers to cheer up and march into the city of Alexandria in a neat line with the best military appearance and appearance.Ma Chao and the governor walked side by side, chatting and looking at the Roman soldiers lined up on both sides of the road.

He found that although these Roman soldiers lined up neatly, their armor, weapons, and even the physique of the soldiers were quite different from the Roman army he had seen in the Sinai Peninsula.After talking with the governor for a long time, I realized that these are security forces managed by the local government, not the order of the regular Roman legion.The soldiers are all strong men serving in the local area, not professional soldiers who receive military pay like the regular army.

Chapter 952

Just when Ma Chao and the Egyptian governor were about to enter the city of Alexandria, two or three riders came galloping fast, and before they got close, they shouted loudly.Although Ma Chao couldn't understand Latin, he could guess that it was an emergency situation.

As he listened, the governor's face changed color, and his brows were knit together.After the Roman commandant finished speaking, the governor turned his head and said to Ma Chao: "The general will take the army into the city to rest for the time being. I still have some important matters to deal with urgently."

Ma Chao lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then asked: "Your Excellency, I don't know what's going on, I hope you can tell me, it means that Ma can be of help."

The governor immediately said with a sad face: "Just now, that group of Bedouin rats attacked a small town in the eastern suburbs of Alexandria."

Ma Chao was taken aback. He didn't expect that the city of Alexandria would be attacked by Bedouins. He immediately said: "My king sent XX here to help your country eliminate bandits and rebels. Now Alexander The city is under attack, and a certain responsibility is bound up. Don’t hesitate, let’s go and have a look together. Please lead the way, Lord Governor.”

The Egyptian governor immediately led several battalions of security forces through the city and rushed to the east of the city, and Ma Chao followed closely behind with his own battalion.While galloping on the streets of the city, Ma Chao didn't have the leisure to enjoy the street scenes and exotic scenery.However, he could still feel the size and magnificence of this city while walking around.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the small town east of the city where the incident happened.But those Bedouins had long since fled.The scene in front of him made Ma Chao, who had experienced many battles, feel horrified.The whole town has been burned to a pile of ruins, and the surrounding fields are full of headless bodies and mutilated limbs.There are also several large iron cages in the square in the center of the town, filled with charred corpses stacked together.Apparently, the Bedouin first drove the captives into the iron cage for transporting cattle and sheep, and then set fire to them and burned them to death.

The governor had already ordered the soldiers on the side: "Go and check the specific damage."

Soon, someone reported back: "My lord governor, [-]% of the houses in the town were burned down, including the grain collection station. The tens of thousands of pounds of grain just collected in it were all burned. The population was also almost completely killed. Not much left."

The Egyptian governor slapped his thigh and sighed heavily: "If this continues, how can I complete the food collection task assigned by His Majesty Alexander. Even if the food and grass are successfully raised, how can I safely send them to the front line under such circumstances?"

Ma Chao, who was on the side, first tried to comfort him, and then said: "Alexander is the capital of the Egyptian province, and the Bedouins have even snatched it here. They are too bold!"

The governor continued to sigh and said: "The general doesn't know something. From east to west, from south to north, as long as they are not too far from the desert, they will attack them. Whether it is every city on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, Or the villages on both sides of the Nile River, Wubao, are all the targets of their looting and harassment. Speaking of which, the hinterland of the great plain of the Nile River Delta has not been infested by these rats. Because it is the only place more than two hundred miles away from the great desert. However, if this trend continues, it will be a matter of time before they invade the hinterland of the delta."

Ma Chao clasped his fists in the manner of the Central Plains of the East and said: "The matter has come to this point, the governor should not be too anxious. When we return home, we will slowly discuss the countermeasures against these Bedouins."

……

In the scorching sun, on a simple road extending along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, a long line of camel trains of the Roman army was slowly moving eastward.People who are familiar with it can tell at a glance that this is a convoy transporting grain from the province of Affinica to the front line.On the left side of the road is endless sea water, while on the right side is endless yellow sand.

As they were walking, a soldier cautiously reminded their general: "Sir, it's time to drink water." The general who was looking left and right waved his hand impatiently, expressing his agreement to the request.These poorly armored Security Force soldiers cheered and took out their water bladders to drink.

The general also reminded loudly: "Attention, you can only drink five sips at a time. If you drink it all, next time everyone will share water for you." After finishing speaking, his personal soldiers handed him a water bag.He unplugged the gag, and Gululu took a gulp, obviously more than five mouthfuls.

At this moment, there was a whistling sound in his ear, and after the water bag in his hand shook, he felt a column of water wet his arm.Only then did he see an arrow shoot through his water sac.The general's hairs stood on end immediately, and when he looked to the right, there were more than a hundred Bedouin cavalry on the sand dunes not far away.They were already roaring, riding horses shoulder to shoulder and galloping down the sand dunes, instantly raising a cloud of nearly a hundred battles of dust.Behind them came a large number of empty camels.

"There are enemies! Ah, the Bedouins!"

"No, the Bedouin barbarians are coming!"

Some people started yelling. The Roman army escorting food and grass had four to five hundred people, which was four or five times the strength of the opponent's troops, and there were also a hundred and ten cavalry among them.But these Roman security guards still fled in panic like a mouse seeing a cat.

The Bedouin leader charging forward laughed loudly, and said loudly to his companions: "These Roman soldiers must have been frightened by our recent attacks. That's why they saw us like this." Fleeing in a panic."

Another person said: "Chief, let's not chase after him, and cut off some of his heads?"

The leader pondered for a while and said: "No need! We don't have many people, so we can't divide up the troops. We should do business first, and rob their luggage first!"

Under his leadership, the Bedouin war cavalry roared towards the carts and camels that had lost their owners.After a while, they arrived in front of the convoy and jumped off their horses one after another, preparing to transfer the contents of the baggage cart to the camels.The baggage car can only drive on the road, but on the long yellow sand, the wheels can only sink into the sand.

The Bedouin chief shouted loudly again: "Move the valuable ones first, and burn the ones that can't be taken away."

At this time, the eyes of some Bedouins who had already walked to the side of the baggage car suddenly opened as big as copper bells, and then they fell to the ground without saying a word while clutching their chests.A four-foot-long crossbow was stuck in their chests.

It turned out that there were fist-sized holes on the wall of the carriage, and the crossbow guns were fired from these holes.

This kind of sneak attack lasted for five or six breaths, and the Bedouins in the distance felt that something was wrong, and they noticed that those who approached these vehicles were staggering inexplicably.Then screams and yells came one after another.A Bedouin with his arm pierced by a crossbow yelled, "Someone! Someone! There's someone hiding in the carriage."

At the same time, the covers on the carriages of more than 40 carts were all opened, and more than a hundred soldiers of the Liang Army with individual crossbows jumped out.The catapults in their hands fired at the nearby Bedouins at close range.Amid the continuous screams, another three or forty people were shot to the ground.

The Bedouin chief panicked and shouted: "No, I'm ambush, retreat, retreat quickly!"

At the moment when he shouted, the Roman security guards who started to flee came back and blocked their way in the yellow sand on the right side of the road...

Chapter 953 Fishing

In the yellow sand desert, there were more than a dozen corpses of people and horses lying vertically.The body was full of javelins, but surrounded by a large group of Roman security guards.

Although these security forces were not strong enough, they were numerous in number, and they wiped out the remaining ten or so Bedouin war cavalry like ants and gnawing insects in a matter of minutes.At this time, more than a hundred Liang Jun soldiers who were ambushing in the carriage also rushed over.

One of the team members kicked the corpses and said: "Damn, we were bored in the carriage for several hours because of these hundreds of pieces of stinky meat." Then everyone chattered.

"No, I almost passed out from the heat."

"Don't complain, we are lucky, we finally caught a fish and got something. I heard that some teams went back and forth five or six times without catching any fish."

"It depends on luck. Some teams are very lucky. I heard that the second team of the third battalion caught five hundred Bedouins."

The other said in surprise: "With so many people, can you eat them? Don't be killed."

"Hey, those Bedouins didn't even intend to rob food, but set fire to the convoy. But as soon as they approached, our men shot and killed about a hundred people. The rest tried to rush up , and another 300 people were shot and killed. They never got close to the convoy. Those Roman friendly troops also took the opportunity to cover up and kill them from both sides, and wiped them out. We have this guy in our hands, it’s not the same as many people come It was completely wiped out." The speaker waved the individual ballista in his hand while speaking.

It turned out that this was one of Ma Chao's strategies against Bedouin wanderers---fishing.It is to hide the Liang army's elite soldiers in the Roman army's grain transportation team, walk back and forth along the grain road, and ambushe them unexpectedly when they take the bait to loot.

……

There is a large oasis in the desert located more than [-] miles southwest of the Nile Delta.The oasis is dotted with Bedouin sheepskin felt tents.In one of the tents, several chiefs were discussing things intensely.

"Chief Emir, we can no longer rob the Roman convoy. They have invited reinforcements. I heard that it is the Liang army who slaughtered our Bedouins in the eastern desert. They are hiding in the vehicles of the convoy. In the middle, when our soldiers get close, we will carry out ambushes. It is impossible to defend against them. We will encounter such an ambush after we rob them three or four times now, and the gain outweighs the loss."

The chief named Amir closed his eyes slightly, but did not answer the other party.Instead, another person answered:

"Then we can't stop, we promised Macrinus. If we give up halfway now, it will create a situation where the two sides are not happy, and the inside and outside are not human. At that time, no matter who wins or loses in Rome, we will all suffer ah."

"Hehe, I think you are just greedy for the money and food that you have plundered. We shouldn't have to worry about the Roman affairs. They fought to the death and wounded both sides. If we have an opportunity, we can take advantage of it. It's not necessary at all. Ally with any of them."

"You...you are a bunch of nonsense..."
