Qiang Qin

People who treat others as fools will eventually find that they are the stupidest ones.

New conditions for dating.

Peterus agreed with a dark face. Although Cao Xin's request was humiliating enough, the Romans were unwavering in their confidence in winning.

After some disputes, Daqin and Rome each sent out five warriors to compete. According to Peterus' idea, the best result would be to draw a fixed area in front of the two armies in the Golden Horn, and then soldiers from both sides would be inside. Torn and killed, and they, the bystanders, acted as witnesses, whichever side stood at the end represented the final victory of this side.

For this plan, Cao Xin unceremoniously refused, and he proposed another idea: in the south of the center of the Bosbrus Strait, there is a small uninhabited island called Keral Island, which is the relationship between Daqin and Rome. The two teams of warriors will take boats to land on the island respectively, and then both sides will use their own abilities to see who can live longer, kill their opponents first, and win the final victory.

This change highlights Cao Xin's adaptability. Although Keral Island is only more than ten miles away, the terrain on the island is not flat. There are not only mangroves growing along the beach, but also rugged coastal reefs. Under such complex terrain conditions, Qin Jun can better exert the team's joint strength.

Over the past few days, a lot of information about Rome, a powerful Western country, has been continuously collected by the generals of the Qin army on the front line under the capable and secret efforts of Meng Hu's men. Compared with Qin, which has entered the feudal system, the Romans The imprint of slaves is still quite deep, like most of the nobles in the Senate, their favorite entertainment is to go to the big arena to watch a cruel slaughter of slave gladiators.

arena.

It's the kind of circular viewing platform surrounded by stands and a field in the middle. When gladiators enter the field, they will kill each other.Until all but themselves fall, and the final victor will gain their most precious thing - freedom.

For slaves in Rome, freedom is the most precious, so they will go all out and will not hesitate to die.

Competing with experienced Roman gladiators in a fixed venue, it is obvious that the Qin army suffered a disadvantage. Although Cao Xin is fierce, he is also rough and fine.

Peterus thought about Cao Xin's request for a competition on Keral Island, and nodded his agreement without finding any problems.Looking towards Clare Island from the Golden Horn Bay, when the weather is good, you can vaguely see every move on the island. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Peterus doesn't think that the Qin people will have any ambushes. He also has great confidence in the five selected tall Gaul warriors under his command.

Two boats sailed away from the coast.

One on the left and one on the right carry soldiers belonging to different camps.

Jinyang Hongtong people are all one of the five selected Qin army warriors, Hongtong this place.In the future, it will be famous because of a big locust tree, but when Zhidu lived, Hongtong was just an inconspicuous small village near the Fen River.

Join the Qin State's Western Expeditionary Army.For Zhidu, it was an opportunity to change his destiny. He didn't want to be like the descendants of the Jin Kingdom for generations, facing the loess and turning his back to the sky.She lived in that small place in Hongtong all her life.In order to be able to stand out, Zhi Du studied fencing under the apprentice of Ranger Xu Cheng.Under the tutelage of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, he studied the works of various schools of thought, and when he was 20 years old, Zhidu saw the edict of the Great Qin Dynasty to recruit warriors for the Western Expedition on the notice at the gate of Xingyang City.

"Get the fame of a real man immediately!" In the announcement, the passionate words of encouragement hit Zhidu's heart that was just about to move.

In the country of Great Qin, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

Official positions also have their own division of labor. If young children, especially those without background, want to stand out, they must bow their heads and flatter them. This is almost impossible for someone as proud as Ru Zhidu.

Among the five.

Zhidu's military position is the team leader, so he naturally became the leader of this team. Compared with a Roman who is tall, burly and imposing, the Qin Army team is not tall and physically not strong, except for the eyes that appear from time to time. After the light flashes, there is almost no reason why they can defeat their opponents.

Peterus was elated.

So what if Cao Xin proposed to change the location of the competition. In terms of strength, the Romans are much stronger than the Qin people, and the physique of the oriental yellow race is not comparable to that of the western white race.

——.

As soon as Zhidu and the others landed on the island, they went straight to the mangrove forest growing along the island. This was the only place that could provide food on Keral Island.

Shrimp, crabs, and many unknown small fish living in the mangrove forest hide from natural enemies and absorb nutrients from the fallen branches and leaves of mangrove plants. For the soldiers of the Qin army, there is not only food here , and there are many hidden places that people can't find.

Ever since Li Yuan established his army in Xingyang and started training in special terrains, the infantry of Qin State has never stopped combat training in this special terrain environment.On the contrary, when the Romans arrived in the mangrove forest, their advantage of height and arm length would become a disadvantage, while the small and nimble Qin people could just give full play to their strengths.

In the midday sun.

The Romans approached the other end of the island, and the five tall bodies pressed towards the other end like five hills.

"The yellow-skinned monkey dares to come to the Great Rome, so he really doesn't want to live?"

"Brothers, one by one later, we tear up the Qin people and feed them to the fish, do you hear me?" the strongest and tallest Roman warrior shouted at the head.

The confident Romans stepped into the mangrove forest, and the waist-deep sea water was below their waists, and waves rushed towards their faces, making them gradually shake.

The Gaul region is different from the Apennine Peninsula. The hills and mountains constitute the main body of the Gaul region. Although the soldiers under Peterus are not afraid of the sea, their hearts are still moved when they really enter the sea. Trembling, this is not in the arena, with your feet on the flat ground, you can exert as much force as you want, and what makes the Romans even more painful is that the Qin people are hiding in the mangroves, although they can see them from time to time. The shadow, but it is not easy to chase and kill it.

Zhidu scattered five members of the Qin Army team in the complex terrain around the mangroves and coastal reefs. Among the five, two crossbowmen were in charge of long-range early warning, two soldiers with excellent melee capabilities were in charge of defending against emergencies, and Zhidu himself Centered to support and dispatch, the Qin army was inferior to the Romans due to innate factors when fighting one-on-one, but relying on collective strength, it may not be impossible to compete with the enemy.

"White-skinned monkey, don't run if you have the ability?" In the continuous running of hide-and-seek, the patience of the Roman soldiers was exhausted little by little.

From noon to now, it was almost sunset. The Roman search team and the soldiers of the Qin army had encountered several times back and forth in the mangroves, but each time the results were unsatisfactory. The Qin people often got entangled with a soldier and immediately killed them. There will be several pounced on from different directions, which makes the Romans miserable.

In order to expand the search area, the Roman five-member team had to distance themselves from each other, which made them repeatedly beaten by the Qin people and fell into a disadvantageous situation.

When there is only a little afterglow left in the sun, this contest has not yet shown that it is about to end. Both the Romans and the Qin people still have the strength to launch a night battle, even though there are already wounded soldiers among them , even though they hardly ate anything all day except for a bit of salty sea water on their lips.

On the other side of the Golden Horn.

Peterus and Cao Xin, who were waiting, set up their tents, and the soldiers on both sides lit torches, and continued to confront each other amidst the flickering lights.

At the rear of their respective teams, the soldiers in charge of supply and security are already preparing meals. The Qin army’s side is a film cake made of wheat and rice, similar to the Shandong pancake of later generations. This thing is durable and hungry. It is very convenient when marching and fighting, and the Romans are not too bad. As soon as the big guy like pizza is brought up, the soldiers gobble it up and snatch it up.

However, the competition team on Keral Island was not so lucky. They had to rely entirely on their own abilities to survive this time. When the night fell, Keral Island also fell into darkness. Looking over from Wan's side, he could see nothing but the whirring of the wind.

this night.

For Zhidu and others, it was a long night. They planed to eat shellfish, crabs, and edible marine plants in the sea, relying on these things to maintain their body's muscle energy. In the past one and a half months in Anatolia The brutal training allowed the soldiers of the Qin Army to hone their ability to survive under harsh conditions.

Compared with the Qin people who came prepared, the Romans were much more embarrassed. As soon as they came to the island, they hoped to have a quick battle with the Qin people. Under this dominant idea, they spared no effort to cross the The entire small island was searched for the Qin people hiding in the mangroves and reefs on a large scale. By the time of sunset, their physical strength had been exhausted.

When the stomach growled and changed, the Romans realized that they had nothing to eat?If they asked for help from Peterus and others on the other side, they would lose this competition.

In desperation, the Romans had no choice but to look for food by themselves. However, they had hardly received this kind of unusual special operations training before. The Romans really liked the tentacled creatures that ate raw shellfish and crabs. I dare not swallow it into my stomach.

When it was finally getting light, the Romans retreated listlessly to the beach that belonged to them. The cold night made them have to rely on each other, and the two soldiers who were seriously injured had already suffered from excessive bleeding. Many are dying from lack of food.

Facing the rising sun, Zhidu led three soldiers who could walk, and came out from the mangrove forest. They held their chests up and looked solemn. They were fearless and approached the place where the Romans were step by step. (To be continued..)
