Chapter 1454 Night Attack

Chen Chu personally led a 500,000 army to the city of Ekebatana. Among them, 50,000 were the defeated soldiers who had been defeated from Ekebatana that were conquered by Zhang Liao. There were more than 50,000 defeated soldiers who had been defeated from Ekebatana. The others retreated to Susa City to the south. The troops that were formerly guarding Ekebatana were mainly soldiers of the Western Regions Alliance and the Huns.

The Qin army set up a joint camp of more than ten miles outside the city of Ekebatana. Then, Chen Chu, under the support of the iron wall guards led by Dian Wei and three beautiful wives, climbed a hill outside the city of Ekebatana. This hill was less than three miles away from Ekebatana. It was very high, but not steep. The mountains were lushly trees. Before the Qin army arrived here, the Romans set up a post on the hill, but hurriedly retreated when they found that the Qin army brigade had arrived.

Chen Chu looked into the city and saw many Roman soldiers shuttle back and forth quickly in the city; there were various heavy equipment, and rolling stones and wood were transported to the city wall; there was no figure of a commoner in the city, and the atmosphere was very tense.

"Brother, there are many enemies in the city!" Zhang Rui frowned.

Chen Chu nodded, "It seems that the information before is not accurate! I think there should be three Roman legions in this city! And judging from the momentum of these armies, they should be very elite regular legions!"

Sun Ren's heart moved and asked, "Is it the so-called 'Spartan Legion'?"

Chen Chu smiled and shook his head and said, "No! The Spartan Legion should be stronger than them!" He paused, "Okay! We can go back!"

The Roman general Batra was in a heavy mood when he looked at the camp that stretched for more than ten miles outside the city, and he understood that he had to resist the Qin army's offensive before the collapse of Qinxifeng's Qin army, which was by no means easy.

"General!~~" A general came to Batra to salute.

Batra glanced at him and asked, "Have you all arranged?"

The general replied: "All arrangements have been made! The artillery has entered the position, and the defense responsibilities of each army have been clear!"

"Very good! You go down and rest!" "Yes!" The general agreed, but hesitated.

"Do you have something to do?" Batra asked.

"General, the Qin army outside the city is all second-rate or even third-rate troops of the Qin army, and the Qin emperor is outside the city! It's better than ~~~!" The general seemed a little impulsive.

But Batra shook his head, "No!~~~" pointed to the joint camp of the Qin army outside the city and said, "Look at their camps being arranged like iron barrels! It is almost impossible to attack sneakily!"

"But for such second-rate troops, we may break their direction!~~"

Batra interrupted his general and said, "I understand what you mean! But what if it cannot be defeated?~~~"

The general was stunned.

Batra said in a deep voice: "~~, then it is very likely to be strongly counterattacked by the opponent. By then, whether our army can defend the city will be a question!"

The general said with some regret: "Then let's defend the city like this?"

Batra nodded, "At least this is the only way! If nothing else is done, just follow my instructions!" "Yes!"

In the middle of the night that day, more than a hundred men in black came quietly under the cover of night. At the same time, 50,000 Qin troops were lurking in the night not far from the north of the city. These more than a hundred men in black were very agile. Each of them was wearing black uniforms, carrying horizontal knives, lock hooks and crossbows and other equipment. Such outfits were very eye-catching in this era. They were the Shadow Force, one of the secret troops of the Qin army. They were transferred from Luoyang to the Western Regions not long ago. They were unable to catch up with the war with the Ross people that ended not long ago. These Shadow Forces are not the same as the Shadow Forces currently lurking in Petersburg, the capital of Ross. The former has been stationed in Luoyang, while the latter has been lurking in Petersburg for a long time.

The Shadow Force stopped under the city gate for a moment, waiting for the patrolmen on the city wall to pass by. Then more than a dozen soldiers immediately carefully threw lock hooks on the city wall. The lock hooks were placed on the wall bricks and made only a slight sound.

However, at this moment, the city wall suddenly surged, and someone shouted in Ross, "There are people outside the city! There are people outside the city!!~~~" Then countless torches quickly surged towards this side.

The shadow troops under the city wall immediately took off the crossbow and faced it against the city wall. As long as someone showed his head on the city wall, they would shoot.

A moment later, a rain of arrows roared out from the city wall, but not against the shadow troops under the city wall, but against the 50,000 troops lurking in the night outside the city. Almost at the same time, dense arrows blew out from the night outside the city and swept through the city wall. More than a dozen Roman soldiers screamed and fell from the city wall.

Then, the figures in the night outside the city quickly retreated towards the Qin army camp outside the city.

At this moment, the Ross people shouted again from the city wall, "There are lock hooks here! There are people under the city!!" Then hundreds of Ross soldiers poked their heads out of the city wall with torches. Then a dense rain of arrows roared up from the city wall, and dozens of Ross soldiers screamed and fell to the city wall.

"Hurry! Use the sluts and rolling stones to kill these hateful Qin people!!" A general shouted. Then hundreds of Ross soldiers pushed the rolling stones and the slut to the edge of the battlement. At this time, the commander of the Shadow Force waved his hand behind him, and more than a hundred soldiers immediately retreated to the night outside the city, holding a crossbow to the city wall. At the same time, a dense rain of arrows suddenly flew out of the place where the Qin army brigade had been lurking and flew straight to the city wall. In a blink of an eye, the Ross soldiers who were about to push the rolling stones down. The Ross soldiers on the city wall subconsciously bent down. General Ross reacted and shouted: "Boundler shoots me! Hurry up!!" The crossbowman reacted and quickly shot arrows at the place where there were shadows in the night. Then a few muffled groans seemed to be heard in the night.

After the crossbowmen released several rounds of arrows, there was no movement in the night outside the city. The crossbowmen looked at each other and someone asked, "Did they die or run away?" One person next to him guessed, "It must have run away!"

General Ross couldn't help but feel a little angry.

At this moment, Batra came down on this raided city wall with the support of his personal soldiers. "General!" the general bowed.

Batra glanced at the nearly a hundred corpses on the city wall, then looked outside the city, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The general quickly replied: "We have repelled the Qin people just raided!"

Batra nodded, glanced at the hook that was still hooked on the city wall, and frowned and said, "It seems that the warning must be strengthened! If you send the order, starting today, three sentries must be arranged every ten meters on the city wall, and the number of patrols will be doubled!" "Yes!"

When the Qin army retreated to the camp, everyone seemed a little depressed. After a while, Lu Bu and Jiang Tai entered Chen Chu's tent. At this time, the lights of Chen Chu's tent were still on.

"Your Majesty!" the two of them clasped their fists.

Chen Chu raised his head and saw the two of them looking depressed and depressed. He asked with a smile: "What? Did you fail?"

The two knelt together and said, "Please punish your majesty!!"

Chen Chu put down the documents in his hand, walked to the tent, helped the two of them up, and patted the dust on their bodies. This inadvertent action made the two of them very excited.

"It's okay! I just want to try the raid tonight, and I don't have much expectation!!" Chen Chu smiled and glanced at the two generals, "Thank you for your hard work too! Go down and rest!" "Yes!" The two of them agreed with their fists and quit the tent.

Chen Chu came to the sand table. The sand table was made temporarily, reflecting the terrain of the city of Ekebatana in front of him and its surroundings.
