Chapter 1556 empty city

The moon shrouded on the earth, with a very beautiful scenery, but the people of Dura Europa were shrouded in the atmosphere of despair. A battle during the day was simply a nightmare for them, with more than 200,000 regular troops including the Fifth Spartan Legion and the Fourth Spartan Legion being wiped out.

"What should we do? The Qin people will definitely attack in tomorrow!" A soldier under the eaves said worriedly with a spear in his arms. His companion shook his head blankly, "I hope General has a way!" "He? Humph! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have reached this point!"

In the hostage, Schneider glanced at the frustrated generals and said heartbrokenly: "This defeat is entirely my responsibility!"

A general came out to comfort him and said, "The general doesn't have to blame himself too much! This defeat is not entirely the general's responsibility!"

Schneider shook his head and sighed, "No matter what, I must be fully responsible for this matter! Okay, let's not talk about this anymore! Our top priority is to solve the problem in front of us!~~~" he glanced at the generals and asked with hope, "What do you think?"

The generals looked at each other but didn't say anything.

Schneider couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but was not surprised. Schneider asked one of your generals at the left, saying, "How many troops do we have now?"

The general replied: "There are still 230,000 troops! But they are basically local guards from the Thirteen Eastern provinces. Fortunately, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers of the Fourth Spartan Legion!"

Another general said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand this power for long!" He looked up at Schneider.

Schneider frowned and asked, "How is Eltashad?"

The general replied: "The three legions that came down from the Fortress of Tarn and the 200,000 army of Eltashad are attacking the Qin army's defensive front! The Qin army's defensive front has nearly 200,000 troops, which is difficult for them to break through! Now that we have suffered a major failure, they will definitely not dare to continue attacking!"

Schneider nodded and thought, "It will take at least one month for Rome to regain its strength and send it over, and General Seth's army cannot escape for the time being! We can't defend it here!"

The generals exchanged helpless eyes.

Schneider thought for a moment and said resolutely: "Since it is impossible to keep here, why not give up!"

The generals were stunned, and one of the generals asked in confusion: "God General, do you mean to give up Dura Europa?"

Schneider nodded.

The general said anxiously: "But General, have you ever thought about it? Once you do this, you will definitely not be able to obtain the understanding of the Roman government and the opposition!"

Schneider was silent for a moment and said decisively: "I have decided! No need to say anything more!" He thought: "Zhao Yun is both wise and brave, I am afraid he will think that we may give up! Without further ado, we will act tonight!"

The generals were shocked, and a general said anxiously: "General, are you too anxious? We didn't have time to prepare in all aspects!"

Schneider thought, "Because of this, Zhao Yun must have never thought it! And according to common sense, they had a big battle during the day, so they would definitely have a good rest tonight! Okay! Don't say much!"

Seeing that Schneider had made up his mind, the generals stopped persuading him, but just sighed in their hearts.

Qin army camps. Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops did not lose their minds because of today's great victory. Most of them were resting, while the other part was responsible for alertness and was very cautious. However, the general situation of the Qin army was the same as Schneider's speculation. There was not much force to guard against the Roman army's breakthrough, because according to common sense, the Roman army should not break through at this time. Once the Roman army breaks through at this time, all the materials of the Roman army will be lost.

In the early morning, it was the most tired time for the day. The gate of Dura Europa was suddenly opened quietly, and more than 200,000 Roman troops came out of the city. The people pursed their lips tightly, covered their horse's mouth with masks, and cotton cloth on their horse's hooves. Although more than 200,000 people were acting at the same time, they did not make much noise.

More than 200,000 Roman troops passed through the gap between the two camps of the Qin army, ~~~~.

It was getting bright.

A scout rushed in and reported urgently: "General, the enemy is gone!" At this time, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were discussing the matter. When they heard this, they were stunned. Ma Chao asked in disbelief: "What did you say? The enemy is gone? Are you right?"

The scout quickly replied: "That's true! Just now, we routinely trampled around the city, but we found that there was no one on the city wall, but the flag was still there!"

Ma Chao turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Go and take a look!"

Then Zhao Yun and Ma Chao rushed out of the camp under the support of a cavalry and came to the outside of the city gate. Although the city gate was closed, it did look like an empty city.

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao exchanged glances, and Zhao Yun ordered several personal soldiers to climb up the city wall with locked hooks.

Several personal soldiers climbed up the city wall and disappeared on the top of the city. A moment later, one of the personal soldiers rushed back to the side of the wall and sang: "General, it seems that there is no one in the city?"

"Can it be a trap?" Ma Chao asked uncertainly.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and shook his head, "It's unlikely! It's impossible for more than 200,000 people to hide silently in the city!" Then he ordered a personal army camp to mobilize troops.

Not long after, 200,000 troops, including the First Legion, gathered under the city, and the city gate was opened by personal soldiers who had climbed over the wall.

Zhao Yun ordered the Xianbei Legion to enter the city in advance to control the city area, and ordered the First Legion to control the four gates.

Thirty thousand Xianbei cavalry roared in and quickly controlled the city area within the area. At the same time, the First Legion controlled four city gates. Then, the Eighth Legion began to search the city.

Half an hour later, Zhao Yun and the others confirmed that there were indeed no enemy troops in the city.

Zhao Yun immediately sent all scouts.

Zhao Yun and a group of generals surrounded the sand table. Zhao Yun analyzed: "According to the current situation, the Roman army must have left quietly last night! The place they are most likely to go should be to the west!" Zhao Yun pointed to the province of Roina, Russia.

The generals were stunned. Ma Chao asked in confusion: "Zilong, why are you sure they have gone there?"

"It's very simple! They can only walk in two directions. One is to meet with the Altashadian army to the north, and the other is to retreat westward to the Osrena Province! The reason I judged that they would retreat to the Osrena Province was because if they retreated to the north, the entire eastern gate of the Roman Empire would be opened! This is obviously something the Romans didn't want to see!"

The generals couldn't help but nod.

Ma Chao said excitedly: "Then we will chase after you at the end! We can't let them run away safely!"

All the generals agreed and asked Zhao Yun for a fight.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said decisively: "Okay! Meng Qi, you will immediately lead the Iron Cavalry of Canglang Camp and the Xianbei Legion to pursue the west! Be careful!"

"Zilong, don't worry!" Yu Luo couldn't wait to leave the capital.

Zhao Yun said to the other generals: "You will return to the camp, restore and strengthen the city defense!" "Yes!" The generals responded and left the lobby in a row.

Zhao Yun thought about it, returned to the table and wrote a letter of communication, called the commemorative officer, and ordered him to send it to Luoyang.

Not long after, General Zhang Ren rushed into the lobby. "General, you must have never imagined that the Roman warehouse was full of all kinds of supplies! The food was estimated to be 800,000 dan!" Zhang Ren said with an excited look on his face.
