People who treat others as fools will eventually find that they are actually the stupidest one.

New conditions for a fight.

Peterus agreed with a black face. Although Cao Xin's request was enough to humiliate people, the Romans were unwavering in their confidence in winning.

After a dispute, the Qin Dynasty and Rome each competed in a battle. According to Peterus's idea, the best result was to draw a fixed area in front of the two armies of Golden Horn Bay, and then the soldiers on both sides fought in it. As witnesses, the side of the bystanders stood, which side was the last victory.

Cao Xin refused this plan without hesitation. He proposed another idea: In the south-center of the Bosbruce Strait, there is an unmanned island called Clar Island. The two teams of Daqin and Rome compete with each other on boats to board this island. Then both sides rely on their abilities to see who can live longer, kill their opponents first, and win the final victory.

This change highlights Cao Xin's ability to adapt. Although Klar Island is only more than ten miles in a radius, the terrain on the island is not flat. Not only are there mangroves growing along the beach, but also the uneven shore and reef groups. Under such complex terrain conditions, the Qin army can better exert teamwork.

These days, many information about Rome, a Western power, has been continuously summarized into the Qin generals on the front line with the hard work of Meng Hu. Compared with Qin, which had already entered the feudal system, the Romans' slave imprints are quite deep. Most of the nobles in the Senate's House's favorite entertainment activity is to go to the Grand Arena to watch a cruel fight between slave gladiators.

arena.

It is the kind of stands surrounded by a sermon. In the middle is a circular viewing platform. The gladiators will fight each other when they enter the venue until everyone except themselves falls, and the final winner will gain their most precious thing - freedom.

For Roman slaves, freedom was the most precious, so they would do their best and spare no effort.

It was obvious that the Qin army suffered a loss when competing with experienced Roman gladiators in a fixed field. Although Cao Xin was fierce, he was also very fine.

Regarding Cao Xin's request to compete on Clar Island. Peterus thought about it and nodded in agreement without finding any problems. Looking at Clar Island from Golden Horn Bay, when the weather was still good, he could see every move on the island in a vague way, in full view of everyone. Peterus did not think that the Qin people would have any ambush, but he was also very confident about the five selected tall Gaul warriors under his command.

Two small boats sailed off the coast.

One left and one right, each carrying soldiers from different camps.

Jinyang Hongtong people Zhi are all one of the five selected Qin army warriors. Hongtong will become famous for a big locust tree in the future. However, in the era when Zhidu lived, Hongtong was just an inconspicuous small village close to the Fen River.

Joining the Qin Western Expedition Army was an opportunity for Zhidu to change his destiny. He did not want to live in a small place in Hongtong like the descendants of Jin who had been with the loess and back to the sky for the rest of his life. In order to be able to make a name for himself, Zhidu studied fencing skills, and Zheng Xuan, a great scholar. He studied the works of various schools of thought. When he was twenty years old, Zhidu saw the imperial edict of the Great Qin to summon the warriors of the Western Expedition at the gate of Xingyang City.

"A real man should win the fame immediately!" In the notice, the excited and agitated words suddenly hit Zhidu's heart that was ready to move.

In the country of Great Qin, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

Official positions also have their own division of labor. Young children, especially young people without backgrounds, must bow their heads to please them if they want to make a name for themselves. This is almost impossible for a proud person like Ru Zhidu.

Among the five.

Zhidu's military position was a team leader, so he naturally became the leader of this team. Compared to a tall and powerful Roman, the Qin army team was not tall and not strong. Except for the flash of light in his eyes from time to time, there was almost no reason for them to defeat their opponents.

Peterus was proud.

So what if Cao Xin proposed to change the competition location? In terms of strength, the Romans were stronger than the Qin people, and the physiques of the Eastern Yellows were not comparable to those of the Western Whites.

——.

As soon as Zhidu and others boarded Shanghai Island, they headed straight to the mangrove forest growing along the island. This was the only place on Klar Island where food could be provided.

The shrimps, crabs and many unknown small fish living in the mangrove forests are also hiding from natural enemies here and absorbing the nutrients of branches and leaves dropped by mangrove plants. For the Qin soldiers, there are not only food, but also many hidden places that cannot be found.

Since Li Yuan established the army in Xingyang and began training under special terrain, the Qin infantry's combat training under this special terrain environment has never stopped. On the contrary, when the Romans came to the mangroves, their height and length of arms would become disadvantageous, and the small and flexible Qin people were able to use their strengths.

Under the sun exposure at noon.

The Romans walked and approached from the other end of the island, and their five tall bodies pressed towards the other end like five hills.

"The yellow-skinned monkey dares to come to the Greater Rome. Do you really want to live?"

"Brothers, one person will be one later. We will tear the Qin people apart and feed the fish. Have you heard?" The strongest and tall Roman warrior shouted.

The confident Romans stepped into the mangrove forest, and the waist-deep sea water was not around their waists, and waves came to their faces, causing them to shake gradually.

The Gaul area is different from the Apennine Peninsula. Hills and mountains form the main body of the Gaul area. Although the soldiers under Peterus are not afraid of the sea, their hearts are still trembling when they really get into the sea. This is not in the arena, with their feet on the flat ground and they can use force as much as they want. What makes the Roman people even more painful is that the Qin people hide in the mangrove forest. Although they can see their shadows from time to time, it is not easy to chase them.

Zhidu scattered five Qin army teams in the complex terrain of mangroves and shore reefs. Among the five, two crossbowmen were responsible for long-range early warnings, two soldiers with excellent melee capabilities were responsible for resisting emergencies, while Zhidu himself was in the middle to support and dispatch. When the Qin army fought alone, due to innate factors, it was not as good as the Romans, but relying on collective strength, it may not be impossible to compete with the enemy.

"Yellow-skinned monkey, if you have the ability, don't run?" During the continuous running of hide-and-seek, the patience of the Roman soldiers was exhausted little by little.

From noon to now, it is almost sunset. The Roman search team and Qin soldiers have met several times in the mangrove forest, but the results are unsatisfactory each time. The Qin people often get entangled and several will immediately pounce on from different directions, which makes the Romans miserable.

In order to expand the search scope, the five-man Roman team had to widen the distance between them, which made them repeatedly beaten by the Qin people with more and less, and fell into unfavorable situations.

When only a little afterglow was left in the sun, the contest did not show its end. Both the Romans and the Qin people still had the energy to launch a night battle, although there were already wounded soldiers among them, and although they had almost never eaten anything except a little salty sea water on their lips.

On the other side of Golden Horn Bay.

Peterus and Cao Xin, who were waiting, each set up tents. The soldiers on both sides lit torches and continued to confront each other in the flash of fire.

At the back of their respective teams, soldiers responsible for the support of the baggage were already preparing meals. On the Qin side, the Qin army was a film cake grinded with wheat and rice, similar to the Shandong pancakes in later generations. This thing was long-lasting and hunger-resistant, and it was very convenient for marching and fighting. The Romans were not much different. When a big guy like pizza came up, he was swallowed up by the soldiers and robbed them all.

However, the competition team on Klar Island was not so lucky. This time they had to rely entirely on their own abilities to survive. When the night was dark, Klar Island also fell into darkness. Looking from the Golden Horn Bay, there was no other way except the whistle and whistle of the wind.

This night.

For Zhidu and others, it was a long night. They ate shellfish, crabs, and edible marine plants in the sea, relying on these things to maintain the body's muscle energy. The cruel training in Anatolia in the past month and a half has allowed Qin soldiers to exercise their ability to survive under harsh conditions.

Compared with the prepared Qin people, the Romans were much more embarrassed. As soon as they came to the island, they hoped to have a quick battle with the Qin people. Under this dominant idea, they did not hesitate to cross the entire island and searched the Qin people hiding in mangroves and reefs on a large scale. By the time the sun was dusk, their physical strength had been exhausted.

When the stomach was rumbling and changing, the Romans realized that they had nothing to eat? If they asked Peterus and others on the other side, the competition would be lost.

In desperation, the Romans could only look for food on their own, but they had almost never received such unusual special combat training before. The Romans really did not dare to swallow the creatures with tentacles such as raw shellfish and crabs.

When the sky finally got darker, the Romans retreated listlessly to the beach that belonged to them. The cold night forced them to rely on each other, and the two seriously injured soldiers were already dying because of too much blood and lack of food.
