Chapter 1518 escape from death

Lielunde's prediction was completely correct. While he was commanding the army to attack the Qin army base, the main force of the Qin fleet led by Gan Ning broke through the defenseless Roman outpost in one fell swoop. Then ten thousand soldiers of the Eighth Legion of the Qin army landed and defeated the Egyptian local security forces who were trying to counterattack. That night, the Qin army completely captured the Roman outpost.

"General, the warehouses here are so rich!" General Sun Tao rushed to report the report.

Gan Ning laughed, "This time, the Romans are going hungry! If you pass the order, move all those who can be moved away, and those who cannot be moved away will burn the fire!" "Yes!"

After a while, Sun Tao ran over again. "General, what should I do with thousands of prisoners? Do you want it~~?" Gan Ning made a neck wiping action.

Gan Ning smiled and scolded: "You think I am a butcher! It's useless to keep these people, and they waste food, so they are all spared!"

"Let it go?" Sun Tao looked in disbelief.

"That's right! All are released!"

In the early morning of the next day, the Qin fleet left. The flames on the shore were surging, as if everything was in the fire. The prisoners of the Roman army who had just been released looked at the scene like a stove in front of them on a hill not far from here, and couldn't help but feel scared, and at the same time they were at a loss.

The main fleet of the Roman navy arrived at the sea near the outpost two days later. All the soldiers on and off the fleet were anxious. One day before they received the news that the base had fallen and was burned.

When everyone saw the ruins in front of them, they were stunned, and an indescribable feeling surged in their hearts, with depressedness and anger.

"Why is this happening?" Treige murmured. He then asked the scout officer beside him: "Have the scout team discovered the whereabouts of the Qin army?"

The scout shook his head and said, "It's still not!" During the two days of returning to the outpost from the Qin Navy Base, the Roman patrol clutches had not found any trace of the Qin Navy. This Roman fleet was very cautious. Although they were in a hurry to come back, the patrol force did not relax at all. Because of this, the Qin fleet gave up the plan to ambush them.

"God General, what should we do now? Report to General Lielund?"

Tregg said: "This is for sure! Send a team of navy troops to clear the scene, and the rest of the men immediately follow me to pick up the General!"

One day later, the Qin Navy Base was outside the sea.

Hundreds of warships appeared on the sea surface. The Roman army's watchmen who saw this scene did not pay attention at first. They thought this was their own fleet, but soon they realized that this was not the case. The fleet on the water was not the familiar eagle flag, but the hideous and cold dragon flag. The watchmen were shocked and quickly reported the situation to General Lielund, who was preparing to organize an attack.

Lielund ran out of the tent and came to a high ground near the tent. Looking at the sea, he saw hundreds of Qin warships slowly pressing towards this side. Lielund's face changed. At this time, a general beside Lielund shouted: "General, look!" Lielund looked in the direction of the general's finger and saw hundreds of transport ships unloading soldiers in the Qin naval base. Lielund immediately understood everything and couldn't help but angrily: "Damn it! I was fooled! There were not many troops in the enemy's water camp!"

"General, what should we do now? Do we continue to attack?" the general asked at a loss.

Lielund said angrily: "You're just a big shot! If you pass the order, the troops retreat to the previous landing site to build a defensive position! In addition, let Treige come back to me immediately!"

The Roman army set out to head and retreated in a hurry to the rocky beach that they had landed before. Then they built defensive positions on the commanding heights around the rocky beach, and at the same time, all the transport fleets were dispersed. Dozens of transport ships were lined up at the outermost perimeter as an obstacle.

Not long afterwards, the Qin fleet drove to the sea on the rocky beach, and then the artillery fire ran across the sky, the sea was like boiling water, and one ship after another capsized and sank. The soldiers on the shore fell to the ground and were plundered by the whistling shells. Lielund quickly ordered some of the artillery on the high ground to be transported to the seaside, but before it was even mounted, it was blown into the sky by the Qin army's artillery fire.

The fierce artillery fire continued until that night, and the Qin fleet, which had shot all the shells, left slowly. The corpses were everywhere on the shore, and the undead Roman soldiers were secretly grateful, while the injured were moaning in pain in the pool of blood. Lielund was angry and helpless. After the shelling of the half-day, the Roman army on the rocky beach suffered heavy losses, and more than 5,000 casualties were injured and killed in the shelling.

"God of General, if we continue like this, we will be worn out sooner or later!" A general was worried about Lielund's generals. The surrounding generals also looked worried.

Lielund asked, "How is the situation below?"

The general replied: "There will be no problem yet! I am only worried that if you continue to do so, everyone's spirit will collapse!"

"Tell the soldiers that the fleet of Trek's Trek's fleet will come to pick us up soon!~~" glanced at the generals and comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much! Tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, we can leave this damn place!" The generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this.

At the same time, the Qin army's water camp tent.

"I said Xingba, you are so generous! You used up the three-day shells and gunpowder in less than half a day!" Zhou Tai said with emotion.

Gan Ning laughed and said, "All the best of you is to forget everything!"

Zhou Tai frowned and said, "Our current ammunition reserve is very limited! We can't attack like this anymore!"

Gan Ning said unwillingly: "Just another round of such a raid can defeat the Romans in the Rock Beach!"

"This is not necessarily true! Besides, you have wiped out all the shells. If the enemy's main fleet arrives, what will we do with it? Wouldn't it be like the Romans in the Rock Beach now?"

Gan Ning felt that what Zhou Tai said made sense, so he had to give up this tempting plan. He said with annoyance: "What did Zilong do? This ammunition has not been shipped yet?!"

Zhou Tai said: "You can't blame Zilong for this! His army reserves have almost supported us!"

Gan Ningxin said unwillingly: "If there is enough ammunition, this time I will definitely be stewed tens of thousands of people below Lielunde!"

Zhou Tai laughed and said, "What's the hurry! There are opportunities!"

Gan Ning nodded and said loudly: "You are right! This time I will give them a discount! By the way, the army left behind in the base these days has suffered a lot of losses, right?"

Zhou Tai couldn't help but sigh and nodded, "In just one day, ten thousand soldiers of the Eighth Legion suffered more than 8,000 casualties!~~" shook his head, "Fortunately, the enemy couldn't figure out our background, but did not launch a large-scale attack in the next two days, but used methods such as digging holes!~~" smiled, "This is exactly what I wanted! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to hold on now!"

Gan Ning laughed and said, "What is this called? This is called the will of heaven! This is the will of heaven, and our Great Qin Empire is invincible!"

Zhou Tai laughed and nodded with conscience, "Not bad! That's it!"

In the early morning of the next day, the sun rose to the sky in the trembling mood of the Romans.

Two hours later, the sentry in charge of looking out shouted in a terrified voice: "Enem! Enemy's fleet!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel heartbroken and prayed secretly.

But just as everyone held their breath and waited for the shells to fall, the sentry shouted at the top of their voice in a very surprising voice: "It's our people! It's ours!"

Everyone was stunned and quickly looked at the sea. When they saw the familiar eagle flag, everyone couldn't help but shout, all of them were full of excitement.
Chapter completed!
