Romans were very particular about eating.

They first spread a small blanket on the ground and put all the dry food and drinking water they brought with them on the small blanket.

When everything was ready, they slowly and orderly put the food into their mouths one by one.

The Romans ate breakfast for nearly an hour.

Cadillac put a piece of bread into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and turned his head to look left and right down the gentle slope.

"Your Majesty, the situation is getting worse and worse. There seem to be more and more cavalry gathering at the foot of the mountain."

Commodus waved his hand towards Cadillac.

"Even if the number of Chinese cavalry is large, it is impossible to outnumber the Parthian cavalry."

"The Chinese used [-] cavalry to lure away [-] Parthian cavalry. The Parthian cavalry may turn back at any time. In addition, our escaped soldiers may also complete their assembly and come back at any time."

"So, we must be patient now. When our people come back with the Parthian cavalry, we can cooperate internally and externally, and maybe we can annihilate these hateful Chinese cavalry."

Commodus' words made Cadillac and Tesla raise their eyebrows at the same time.

"It turns out that His Majesty has already thought of a way to annihilate the enemy troops."

Commodus smiled, pointed at his head, and said, "I have always advocated the coordinated development of force and intelligence."

Cadillac sat back next to the rug and reached out to grab another piece of bread.

"The reason why His Majesty chose this place to gather the army last night must have a purpose."

Commodus arrived here in a complete panic last night.

Now that he heard Cadillac's words, Commodus couldn't help but smile and said: "You are right, I am gathering troops here for a purpose. This place is located on a gentle slope. If the Chinese cavalry wants to attack us, Launch an attack. We can easily block their attack by using the gentle slope."

When Cadillac and Tesla nodded, Commodus continued: "Tactics must be flexible. Since the Chinese are preparing to surround us, we will let them surround us."

"We will stop quietly and wait patiently for the Parthian cavalry to return. As soon as the Parthian cavalry returns, it will be time for us to launch a counterattack."

"This time, I want to compete with the Chinese to see who is more patient."

After hearing Commodus' words, Cadillac gently clapped his hands and stood up.

"Your Majesty, our supplies are running low, and..."

Before Cadillac could finish speaking, Commodus gently waved his hand at Cadillac.

"Cadillac, how long do you think it will take for the Parthian cavalry to come back?"

Cadillac frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "Hula is a Parthian general and is very famous in Parthia. He should be able to quickly recognize that he has been deceived. This time, maybe today, maybe tomorrow he can Return with the troops."

"The Parthian cavalry can return today or tomorrow. Do we still need to worry about supplies? In Roman history, the gladiator team led by the rebel Spartacus once starved for five days and defeated a well-prepared team. Allied forces. Our soldiers all come from the regular legions of the Roman legions. They are strong, brave, and full of sacrifice. Are we not as good as Spartacus's slave team?"

Having said this, Commodus thought for a while and said to Cadillac: "Of course, we can't let the soldiers stay idle on the mountain. This will make them relax their necessary vigilance. Cadillac, you take the soldiers to build a Let’s defend the line.”

"I remember that the best way to defend against cavalry is to dig a long trench?"

Cadillac frowned and was about to speak, but he heard Tesla say from the side: "Dig a long ravine, then fill the gully with spears diagonally, and use the excavated soil to build a barrier on our side. A high wall. In this way, no matter how many Chinese cavalry there are, they will never get close to us."

Commodus heard this and nodded with a smile.

"Cadillac, just do what Tesla said. Let our Roman boys all get moving. Dig the trench as deep as possible, and keep the soil on our side. When the Parthian cavalry comes back, we will Backfill the ravine and charge out."

Down the gentle slope.

Accompanied by Jia Xu, Wei Chu sat upright on the horse and looked at the gentle slope not far away.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand these Romans."

Jia Xu stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and then said: "They were obviously surrounded by us on the gentle slope, but they were not in a hurry at all. In the morning, they were still eating as if nothing had happened, as if they were not afraid of death, or they thought that we were not afraid of death. Dare to attack them."

"Now, they have started to dig trenches around the hillside in an organized manner? Judging from their appearance, they seem to be planning to hold on."

"I don't understand. Don't the Romans know that they have no supplies? We only need to surround them. They will lose their fighting power in three days at most?"

Jia Xu really doesn't understand the Romans.

Because Jia Xu has never encountered such a stupid enemy.

"They most likely think that the Parthian cavalry still exists, so they plan to hold on to the gentle slope for a short period of time, and then prepare to cooperate with the Parthian cavalry inside and outside to deal with us."

When Jia Xu nodded, Wei Chu continued: "The Romans dug trenches, and we dug them too. The Romans dug trenches to prevent us from attacking them, and we dug trenches to prevent them from escaping."

"In addition, pour kerosene in the trench and put dry firewood in it."

"Calculating the time, Dian Wei and the others should be able to arrive here tomorrow, and let the craftsmen assemble the catapults by then. Now the Romans are densely gathered on the top of the mountain. Next, we use catapults to blast them. It should be fun."

When Jia Xu laughed sadly a few times, Wei Chu continued: "Looking at the posture of the Romans, the Romans will not break out. There is no need for all [-] cavalry to gather here. Leave [-] cavalry and the rest Forty thousand horsemen dispersed to capture the fleeing Romans and Parthians.”

"I want to capture the Romans and Parthians as slaves, and I want them to help me build a strong city here for free."

Jia Xu nodded lightly, "By the way, Lu Bu's luck is as good as ever. Last night he caught the drunk Kushan King Vesudeva I, who just sobered up this morning. Now Vesudeva I is being held as a prisoner of war. In the camp, I wonder if His Majesty is interested in meeting him."

Wei Chu waved his hand to Jia Xu without even thinking about it.

"Vesudeva I is not a beautiful princess, and I am not interested in meeting him. If you are free, you can go and meet him for a while. In the future, when we attack Kushan, there may be a place where we can use him."
