In an instant, the dark compartment on the ship opened, and countless infantry rushed out like a tide, and the dark crowd instantly covered the warships.
"This, this is..." The captain of a warship was stunned for a moment.The story of the legendary Trojan War, in which Odysseus hid soldiers in wooden horses and finally conquered Troy, could not help but sound.
And things obviously won't be that simple.
I saw a few small merchant ships ignited and slammed into the ferry!
The pier instantly ignited raging flames, and the flames danced and crackled on the water, making the wooden boat hiss!
For a moment, the people on the beach turned their backs on their backs, and their shouts were shrill and loud!
But the incident happened so suddenly that the escort soldiers on the land were unprepared. Just as they were about to draw their swords to resist, there was a beast-like roar from the forest behind them!
Hundreds of riders, rolling in the wind and dust, roared to the sky, rushing to the beach like huge black waves.
Internal and external flanking, water and land synchronization, warships and ferries are suddenly occupied by the enemy in an instant!
Not long after, the river was already full of flames, thick smoke was billowing, and the hot wind was blowing towards the shore.
Neos stood on the pier, motionless like a statue, and in front of him was a dilapidated hulk, with its blackened masts slanted on the water.
Behind them, the merchants counted the seized supplies excitedly.
Food, red meat, salmon, ore, and even various luxuries dazzled them.
Excited shouts came and went.
Neos was silent for a long time, and ordered: "Let them form a team and send these materials back to Winchester as soon as possible. Her Lady Queen should need these things very much now."
"Yes!" Fei nodded obediently.
"We will leave another batch of food and grass for ourselves, and we will mount our horses and prepare to send troops," Nios said.
The leader of the caravan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said awkwardly: "But, but my lord...we need an escort team, now you also know that the situation is not good, there are bandits robbing the caravan everywhere!"
"Don't worry, Epos won't rob you now, so go back boldly," Nios said.
The leader let out an "oh" and dared not speak any more.
Nios looked at the burning river and was silent for a full minute. He turned to look at the girl and said, "Let all the cavalry mount their horses and leave this place as soon as possible!"
"Where are we going?" Fee asked.
"Reconnaissance, disperse most of the cavalry, and find out all the land routes leading to London." Nios said.
"So the emperor's army will go overland?"
Fei subconsciously asked, then froze, looked at the river, and suddenly realized: "Oh, so this is the purpose of the adults."
"Yes, robbery is only a secondary goal,"
Nios raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly: "And my real goal is to cut off the possibility of the emperor going by water!"
(It's the third update, and there are)
Chapter 97 Chapter 96 Night Raid
The walls of London looked like a sleeping monster in the moonlight.
After many months, Epos saw this city again, and he had mixed emotions.
He once owned this city for a short time, but now he can only look at it from the outside, and he can't help but think about what it would have been like if he had stayed there.
Can't help but sigh, turn around and look around.
The samurai camped in the open space, and dared not light a bonfire for the sake of concealment.
Several sergeants, with their backs to the fence, huddled together for warmth, the green banner of Trinovent fluttering in the wind.
The archers looked out from the high ground, and the infantry couldn't bear the sleepiness, so they retreated into their tents to sleep in twos and threes.
Gatus walked past with a cold face, without saying a word, just slapped the helmets of these warriors vigorously.
The warriors woke up one after another, daring to speak out.
"Discipline! Discipline! Say discipline ten thousand times!"
Gatus growled: "Just like this, he was still fighting with the Roman Legion, and he was cut off in his dream!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Epos had already flashed out from behind him: "The warriors have been waiting for a long time, and it is understandable that they are so sleepy."
"I said three rounds of duty, but how do you arrange it. I have seen the same people on two consecutive shifts!" Gatus was merciless.
"Everyone is still getting used to your Rome style, don't worry." Epos showed an old man's unique smile.
"Adaptation, it took three months to adapt, even a pig has learned it!" Gatus cursed.
Epos' face was a little ugly, and he changed the subject: "By the way, didn't you say that you are going to attack the city? Why haven't you seen it yet?"
"I don't know, maybe Boudica is also in ambush like us." Gatus said.
"And I saw the pier on fire today, so I don't know what's going on." Epos sighed.
"Spring is here, and there are more ships transporting grain, so it's normal to start a fire." Gatus waved his hand impatiently.
"I hope so." Epos shook his head.
His years of experience told him things weren't that simple, but he couldn't figure out why it wasn't.
"But anyway, we can't go on like this."
Gatus said in a deep voice: "If there is still no movement tomorrow, go downstream to grab a wave of food, and then return to the city."
Epos was about to nod when he heard a whistle in the distance.
The words stopped instantly, as if they were tightly blocked in the throat.
"What's wrong?" Gatus looked at him in surprise, but found that the old man's face changed drastically, as if he saw something terrifying.
"Bow, where's the archer!" Epos turned his head to look at the high ground.
It was only when Epos realized that the problem was wrong, he followed up and looked up, and then he couldn't help holding his breath.
In the darkness, dense figures emerged under the moonlight, and in the faint moonlight, the bronze helmet reflected a penetrating light.
A troop unexpectedly approached them silently.
The team patrolling and reconnaissance has long since disappeared, and the archers in charge of security have also been killed.
Even so, they still didn't make a sound.
What discipline!
"Our position is exposed!" Gatus whispered.
Epos nodded: "I just don't know if it's Boudica or..."
Before the words were finished, the banner, as red as blood, was raised high under the moon, and the golden eagle fluttered its wings on the flagpole, as if it was about to fly high.
The old man shivered, as if he had returned to the battlefield not long ago.
The same banner, the same army formation, and the same eyes of the leader, cold and proud.
"... Paulinus!"
Epos gritted his teeth, with a look between fear and anger in his eyes.
"I thought it was the Celtic god who learned our formation and our tactics, but I didn't expect it to be taught by you, a traitor."
An emotionless voice descended from the hill, and Paulinus looked down at the old and the fat: "So, have you betrayed Rome, Gatus!"
Gatus trembled all over his body, his fat body trembled a few times, and he looked up: "Ha, don't you see that it is the Roman legion that I am leading?"
Paulinus was expressionless: "You are going to tell the emperor about this."
Gattus gritted his teeth violently and clenched his fist
It's this kind of expression again, always aloof, wishing to look down on everything.
So it was with Paulinus, and so it was with those old bastards in the Senate...
As if born superior to others, it is simply annoying!
But isn't it because my parents and ancestors are richer than me? Why do you look at me like this!
Gatus looked up at the somewhat bald governor, and the fire in his heart slowly ignited.
He turned his head and said coldly to Epos: "Don't panic, we have more people than them, but we are not prepared enough, everyone is a little panicked."
"But the Roman legion is on the opposite side, do you still want to resist?" Epos frowned.
"Don't put on that look, you've lost to him before, so you're afraid, it's you!"
Gatos growled: "But I didn't lose!"
Epos remained silent, looking at the fat man with a strange look in his eyes.
"I'll delay for you in a while, you go and gather the warriors, and form the phalanx that you were asked to practice at the fastest speed!"
Gatos said: "We have more people than them, the equipment is the same as them, and now we have been trained by me. There is no reason to lose!"
After finishing speaking, before the old man could react, the fat man changed his face and looked up.
"You win, Paulinus!"
He laughed and raised his hands skillfully: "So, have you considered negotiating, my lord governor?"
......
at dawn.
Bruce was sitting in the tent, the desk was full of documents and files, and he was still holding the information he had just delivered.
The herald stood upright in front of him, not daring to take a breath for a long time.
After a long time, Bruce rolled up the note, sighed lowly, waved his hand and said, "Go down."
Relieved, the herald bowed and retreated.
The lieutenant general was standing by, raised his head and asked, "What happened again?"
"What happened two days ago, the lower reaches of the Thames River was attacked, a burning ship crashed into the wharf port, grain ships and merchant ships were hijacked, the river was blocked by hulks, and the waterway was cut off." Bruce said with a frown.
