Global Hearing: I Become Qin Shi Huang's Defender

Page 122

The second camp is the Allied Corps camp.

The last one, the mercenary camp, is also the one closest to the river.

Now, when Huo Qubing led his people upstream, the first thing they encountered was naturally the mercenary camp.

As it sounds, it's just a camp.

However, the three major corps add up to about 70 people, and they jointly operate hundreds of miles after the pass.

The Roman legion camp and the mercenary camp may sound impressive, but the distance between the two is hundreds of miles away.

see this scene.

Francis and those European defenders were completely panicked!

The self-satisfaction that Huo Qubing used to think was beyond his control disappeared in an instant.

They underestimated Huo Qubing.

Not only underestimated Huo Qubing, but also overestimated himself!

At this moment, they remembered an important fact.

The Roman Empire didn't pay much attention to light cavalry, and it didn't play a big role except for scouting and harassment.

In the Roman Empire, the most commonly used was the infantry phalanx that was as strong as an iron barrel.

Julius Caesar estimated the time to circle the mountain for one week, based on the speed of infantry, not cavalry!

Plus.

Near the Mediterranean Sea, horse resources are scarce, and cavalry are usually imported tall horses from Central Asia.

This kind of tall horse has strong explosive power and is suitable for heavy armored cavalry, but it lacks stamina. After running for a period of time, it needs to rest for a long time.

however,

Huo Qubing and Huben were riding on their crotches, both of which were short-footed horses unique to the East.

Although this short-footed horse is far inferior to the Central Asian horse in size and explosive power, it has great endurance.

Infantry requires a day's journey.

Huo Qubing galloped all the way with more than a thousand riders, and it only took a few hours to bypass the hills and reach the rear of the camp.

And this time.

Black clouds weighed on the top, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is suitable for night raids!

The faces of Francis and the defenders in Europe were full of panic.

Their mouths opened and closed.

I can't wait to teleport to that different dimension to remind the mercenary camp.

However this time.

For the sake of absolute fairness, all defenders are not allowed to interfere in this battle.

Without any choice.

Francis and the others could only watch helplessly in the picture, as more than a thousand cavalrymen of the big man slowly approached the unsuspecting mercenary camp.

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head.

This result, he had expected from the very beginning.

Therefore.

Francis has been sneering and sarcastic, but Lin Feng is unmoved.

These European defenders didn't know Huo Qubing's ability. As a historian on the earth, Lin Feng was very clear about Huo Qubing's ability to lead troops.

The reason why Huo Qubing was able to pacify Hexi was his expedition to Mobei.

In addition to being brave and good at fighting, there is another ability.

On Earth, some history buffs have a more appropriate and intuitive evaluation of Huo Qubing——

The man with his own GPS!

Every time he set off on an expedition, he could detour and go deep, interspersed and surrounded, like a wolf smelling fish, he found the Huns camp directly in the vast desert.

Even in this different dimension space.

There are only mountains and rivers, similar to Earth and Blue Star.

There is no place where Huo Qubing can't find him!

As the screen advances.

The scene of the mercenary camp became clear under the illumination of the campfire.

Compared to the Roman regular infantry camp.

It can be said that the mercenary camp is far away.

Although there are people on guard, it is a single post and a single sentry.

The night sentinel yawned, listless and drowsy.

From the beginning to the end, only a few mercenary officers passed by from time to time, kicking the sleeping sentries to wake them up.

Inside the camp, it was even more chaotic.

These mercenaries were fighting for money, and their fighting spirit was far inferior to that of the regular Roman legion, or even that of the Allied Powers.

When they were teleporting, seeing the unimaginable white light around the package, everyone was so frightened that they couldn't help themselves, and there was even a commotion.

now.

As night fell, these mercenaries naturally fell asleep.

There are all kinds of weapons, and the opponent is at the mouth of the battalion commander at will, except for some broken cloth left over from the camp.

Swill, residue, and feces can be seen everywhere in the camp, and the smell is unspeakable.

The sky has been completely covered by black clouds.

In addition to the occasional lightning in the distance, the fire in the camp and the torches in the hands of the sentries became the only light source in the entire land.

"Damn guy, get up!"

A loud shout came.

Immediately afterwards, a big foot wearing caliga boots stomped on a drowsy sentry.

Caliga combat boots were the standard equipment of ancient Roman sergeants. There were many nails on the soles of the feet. In the mercenary regiment, only a few high-ranking officers could wear them.

One can imagine the pain of being kicked by such a spiked boot.

The sentinel who was already drowsy suddenly woke up under the huge pain.

"Lord Anthony!"

Seeing the angry officer in front of him, although the mercenary felt severe pain, he quickly stood up straight.

This Anthony, but the centurion of the regular Roman infantry regiment, is a real Roman citizen.

The reason why they are in the mercenary regiment is naturally to supervise the battle.

In addition to him, the Roman infantry phalanx under his command was also stationed in the mercenary regiment.

As a mercenary, he didn't want to be deducted commissions for offending Roman citizens.

"I warned you not to sleep!"

"Sentry, you have to look like a sentinel!"

The Roman centurion named Anthony yelled loudly, the disgust in his eyes was undisguised.

The Roman regular legion looked down on these mercenaries the most.

Especially when he was sent to supervise the battle in such a stinky place, Anthony naturally didn't have a good face.

"Yes, sir!"

The mercenary forced his pain, stood up straight and said.

However, at this time.

"Crack!"

The sky that was already covered by black clouds was suddenly streaked by a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket.

The roar of thunder and lightning startled the mercenary.

When Anthony saw this scene, the disdain in his eyes became even worse.

These mercenaries, except for a few mercenaries such as Celts and Slavs who are brave in fighting, the rest of the mercenaries are the most rubbish, and they can't get on the stage at all.

If it's a tailwind, it's okay, these mercenaries will rush to the front screaming for the bounty.

But once the war is unfavorable.

These mercenaries will shrink back, greedy for life and afraid of death.

Now seeing the mere thunder, the mercenary was frightened like this, and Anthony was even more angry.

"Thunder and lightning scare you like this. As a mercenary of the Roman Empire, you should feel ashamed."

Anthony growled at the mercenary.

however,

The mercenary shook his head with a look of fear.

"No, there is a legend in our hometown that there is only thunder and lightning without rain, which is unlucky. Our war is very likely to..."

"To shut up!"

Before the mercenary could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Anthony, "Forget the damned legend in your hometown, you are in the Roman legion, you have to act like us Romans, do you understand the humble mercenary?"

"Understood...understood."

The mercenary said tremblingly.

Seeing that he stood up straight again, Anthony nodded in satisfaction.

However, after hearing the words of the sentinel.

Do not know why.

A touch of gloom still flooded Anthony's heart.

As the centurion of the Roman Empire, he can also be said to have experienced many battles.

The intuition for war is still there.

For some reason, from the very beginning, he felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

It was very depressing, making him a little out of breath.

Therefore.

Anthony will come out of the tent and inspect the mercenary camp.
