Chapter 796 Roman Conspiracy
After being stunned, John quickly performed a Roman etiquette to Ailang and said, "On the first thing I want to do is to express my highest respect to the King of Qin on behalf of our general." Then he said, "Our general expressed regret and apologies for the misunderstandings between the two sides during this period. He hoped to stop the war with the King of Qin and live in peace." Speaking of this, John secretly looked at Ailang's expression, but did not see the other party's reaction. He was overwhelmed and a little at a loss. He paused and continued, "In order to express your sincerity in getting along with the King of Qin, our general is willing to give 50% of the annual income to the King of Qin! I wonder, what does the King of Qin mean?"
Ailang laughed mockingly and joked: "You broke into a house, and the master fought back and beat you all over, but you actually said that you would give him half of the property that had robbed him, hoping that both sides would live in peace. Such a ridiculous suggestion is only what you Westerners say!"
John hurriedly said, "As fart as we know, Yizhou is not the territory of the King of Qin,..." Ailang glared and shouted, "Fart! Is it my territory not up to you? Even if it is not my territory, it is not your turn to get involved! Go back and tell your general that if you want to survive, leave all the weapons and materials and captured natives, and get out of here immediately! Otherwise, you don't have to leave!"
John felt a stern, and he felt that the other party was very determined. It was useless to say anything else. He had to bow and say, "I, I will immediately repay our general with the request of the King of Qin!" Ailang said to Dian Wei, "Send the guest." Dian Wei strode forward, and the giant spirit palm showed his hand, shouting, "Please!" John was captured by Dian Wei's power, and couldn't help but feel shocked, and quickly bowed and left the tent.
John rushed back to the hall of the chief's house. When he saw Severu, he immediately informed Severu of Ayran's words. When everyone present heard this, he was in a big uproar. Nagaid shouted angrily: "These Eastern barbarians look down on us so much! Do they think they will win?" A middle-aged general frowned and said: "It is not only a great insult to us to keep all the weapons and materials and captured slaves, but also if we really do this, His Majesty the Emperor, His Highness the Great Princess, and the nobles and citizens of the whole country will not forgive us. The consequences are unimaginable." Severu shouted angrily: "It's too much! I, Severu, have I ever been so insulted!"
The older clergy couldn't help but say, "But, the current situation is very unfavorable to us! If we refuse, the war will inevitably break out again! Our chances of winning are very slim!..."
John said, "This is not necessarily the case. The Eastern military tactics say, 'It is unexpected and the attack is unprepared'. At this moment, the Qin army thought that they were sure to win, so they must be careless and underestimate the enemy. We have the opportunity to turn defeat into victory." Then he said to Severu: "General, didn't the other party ask us to leave all the weapons, supplies and slaves? Well, we can agree to them, and we can also take the initiative to send these to their camp to show sincerity..." Before he finished speaking, Gad and several other generals shouted angrily, and Gad scolded, "John, are you asking us to surrender to them?" Severu said angrily: "Quiet, listen to John finish your words!" Gad and his men barely suppressed their anger, closed their mouths, and stared at John.
John said: "We can choose to send weapons and slaves to the evening, and at the same time, all the troops followed this team quietly. When they saw us coming with a large number of supplies and slaves, they would definitely open the camp gate to greet them without any defense. We took advantage of this moment to attack suddenly and defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop!" Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Severu nodded excitedly and praised: "Good way! Just do it!" Then he issued a series of orders to the generals, and finally asked John to go on the Qin army again.
Ailang looked at John, who had returned after leaving for a short time, and asked with a smile: "He's back so soon? Could it be that your general agreed to my request?"
John bowed humbly and said, "We general dare not be enemies with the King of Qin. Since the King of Qin requested this, we will naturally agree." Then he said, "In order to express sincerity, our general is willing to personally bring all the weapons, supplies and slaves to the King of Qin tomorrow night. I wonder what the King of Qin wants?" Ailang smiled and said, "Since you are so obedient, what else can I say. Let's do this. I'll wait for you tomorrow night." John was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked.
When Severu heard John say that the King of Qin was not suspicious at all, he planned to wait for them to arrive tomorrow night. He was very happy and couldn't help but say excitedly: "This time I want these Eastern barbarians to know the power of our Roman legion!" John nodded with deep conscience.
The Roman legion was actively preparing. Soon the next night. As soon as the sun set, Severu led his team to escort a large number of carriages and ox carts. The carriages and ox carts were slowly moving, and the ruts were very deep, and it was obvious that all the cars were filled with supplies. Did Severu really plan to hand over all the weapons and supplies requested by Aion to Aion? Of course not. In these cars, except for the previous cars that were indeed loaded with weapons and supplies, the other cars were loaded with stones. The car was covered with tarpaulin and could not be seen outside. The deep rut marks made people think that the car was really full of supplies.
The two thousand elite troops led by Severu transported these so-called materials out of the stronghold and slowly headed to the Qin army camp. Then, Gad and others led nearly 10,000 Roman army officers and soldiers to sneak out of the stronghold and follow Severu's rear. That night, the night was heavy and the stars disappeared. Only the torches were seen by Severu's soldiers, while everything else was hidden in the darkness. Severu was happy and felt that it was Zeus who was helping them, and the balance of victory had tilted towards them.
Severu led the team to the Qin army camp with a large number of horse-drawn carriages and ox carts and stopped. The general John next to him immediately shouted loudly: "General Severu is here to escort supplies. Please open the door." As soon as he finished speaking, several officers and soldiers guarding the camp gate immediately opened the door. Severu was very excited and immediately led the troops into the Qin army camp. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the Qin king leading many officers and soldiers waiting in front of the tent from afar.
The coach of Severu came straight to Ailang and the others and stopped. Severu turned over and dismounted, performed a Roman ritual to Ailang, and said something in Roman. John, who was beside him, immediately translated: "Our general pays tribute to the King of Qin!" Ailang smiled and said, "There is no need to pay tribute." John translated Ailang's words in Severu's ear. Severu smiled coldly, raised his chin and said something to Ailang again, but his tone was completely different from what he had just happened, full of a sense of pride and rampantness. John immediately translated: "General said that he was not paying tribute to a person, but to a dead soul." Ailang asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Severus suddenly drew out his scimitar, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "Do it!"
Then a huge shout sounded outside the gate, and Gad and others actually led nearly 10,000 troops into the water like a tide.
Severu screamed. The two thousand officers and soldiers behind him drew out Roman daggers and rushed towards Ailang and the others. The originally docile lambs suddenly turned into vicious jackals!
At this moment, the two thousand Roman officers and soldiers suddenly found countless arrows flying in front of them. They were caught off guard and were shot down! When the Roman officers and soldiers were excited, they still rushed forward even though they suffered casualties! The personal soldiers behind Ailang immediately stepped forward and quickly formed a shield wall with shields! The Roman officers and soldiers slammed on the shield wall, and the impact momentum was immediately stopped! Seeing that the opponent's reaction was so fast, Severu was surprised and annoyed, and raised his short sword and shouted loudly: "Crash! Break them!"
Two thousand Roman officers and soldiers howled loudly, pushing the Qin army's defense line with their overall strength. The Qin army's defense line could not be resisted and then collapsed!
Two thousand Roman officers and soldiers broke into the formation and couldn't help but scream excitedly. The Qin army's personal soldiers quickly dispersed to both sides, and then they only heard the roar of iron hooves. The war cavalry was like a tide. Hundreds of people and horses were suddenly appeared on the front, rushing like mountains and seas! The Roman officers and soldiers were shocked. Before they could react, they were knocked into the crowd by the opponent's iron armored war cavalry. Immediately, they could only hear huge impacts and screams. The heavy iron hooves stomped down the Roman officers and soldiers in succession. The long sword and battle axe raised blood rain among the crowd, as if sweeping over, and they were in a move!
A Roman officer rushed in front of him and immediately shouted and went up to meet him. Then the other party's battle axe roared and raised his shield to block it! In an instant, a loud noise was heard, and the shield in his hand and his arm broke instantly, and his body was lifted upside down by a huge force and flew backwards, crashing into his own crowd!
The iron hooves trampled on, and the whistling battle axe raised pieces of flesh and blood, and the rolling iron hooves kept trampling on the enemy. The momentum of the Roman officers and soldiers was instantly defeated, and their offensive collapsed in a blink of an eye! Then, under the rush of these fierce and brave war cavalry, the Roman army quickly became chaotic and was about to be unable to resist!
Severu looked at the scene in front of him and felt unbelievable. He didn't understand why the other party's reaction was so fast?!
"General, no good! Gad and the others were also surrounded!" John suddenly exclaimed. Severu was shocked and quickly turned his head to look back. He suddenly saw that the army that had just poured into the camp had been trapped by the other party. The Qin army attacked from both sides, and the iron armored infantry as vanguards rushed into their army and stirred up their positions. Then the other Qin army waved their swords and attacked hard. Their troops were being killed, and their positions became more and more messy! Severu had an incredible expression in his eyes, and he shouted in disbelief: "This, is this the case?!"
