Anthony leads the army and is looking for traces of Feng Queli and others.
In fact, when Feng Quili approached here, the Romans had already received the news.
But they never expected that Great Qin would react so quickly. How long had it been before they sent out the envoy? The Qin army has already arrived, with lightning speed.
Therefore, the Romans were almost unprepared.
When they mobilized as quickly as possible, Feng Quili had already looted many villages.
Now that the mobilization was completed, Anthony looked at the energetic and high-spirited soldiers behind him and suddenly felt confident.
He knew that he would definitely defeat the Qin people.
Because these days he has also figured out the Qin people's fighting methods.
Judging from the intelligence.
The people of Qin were indeed brave and numerous. But they didn't seem to adapt to the Roman way of fighting.
As long as the Roman phalanx reaches a certain number, it can withstand Qin's attack. When the number of Romans is equal to that of Qin, it can defeat Qin.
Well now, Rome has completed its mobilization and can fight the Qin people to the death.
Anthony asked the spies beside him: "Where are those Qin people now?"
The spy pointed on the map and said, "Yesterday they camped along the river."
Anthony calculated the marching speed, then drew a circle and said: "Send an order to set up an ambush here. If the Qin people are found, they will be attacked immediately."
The people around him agreed and went to set up an ambush one after another.
This circle is neither big nor small. It is a bit difficult to surround Feng Quli.
But Anthony was fighting on home soil after all. He doesn't need to surround Feng like an iron bucket.
He only needs to guard the traffic arteries.
Feng Quili probably wouldn't be able to walk through the rest of the trail.
That's a taboo for military strategists.
The narrow path can only accommodate one or two people walking side by side. Tens of thousands of troops, how long will it take to form a line? Don't worry about the ending. Once you are attacked, it will be a massacre.
Soon, the ambush circle was completed, and the traffic arteries were tightly guarded.
And Anthony led tens of thousands of troops into the ambush circle, and wanted to take the initiative to find Feng Qu to fight.
However, he searched for a year and a night, but could not find even a hair.
Antony was surprised and ordered the surrounding generals to shrink the encirclement.
The encirclement became smaller and smaller, finally shrinking to the size of a village.
There was still no trace of Feng Quli.
There are only two possibilities.
First, these Qin people will become invisible.
Second, these Qin people fled.
The first one is too absurd and should be impossible.
As for the second type...
Anthony shook his head: "It's not quite right. I have surrounded them. How did these tens of thousands of people escape?"
…………
Dozens of miles away, Feng Quili was rewarding Zhang San heavily: "This is a good idea. You must have contributed a lot to our successful escape."
Zhang San said modestly: "The adults are so complimentary, and the villains are ashamed."
Feng Quili shook his head: "It's not an outrageous praise, you fully deserve it. I will remember you for what happened today."
Zhang San responded excitedly.
Feng Quli still had more to say and closed his eyes and said, "Wonderful, they actually scattered hundreds of thousands of people. They broke them into pieces, and every three hundred people formed a team and fled in all directions."
"This can indeed survive the barbarian siege, but what's even better is that hundreds of teams actually gathered here at the agreed time and place."
"Now I have another army in my hands. Isn't it amazing?"
Zhang Sangan laughed and said: "Actually, this is not unusual. Now we are in a foreign country, and the soldiers' hearts are with the Qin Dynasty. After they were separated, what they thought about day and night was to reunite with others."
"After all, those who are not of my race must have different minds. In a place like this, it is only safe to be with your own race."
Feng Quli nodded.
Zhang San added: "In addition, it is all thanks to the compass. Now every team is equipped with a compass. With a compass to identify the direction, you will not get lost."
"With the help of a compass, these teams can easily find the predetermined location."
Feng Quili admired: "Yes, I never imagined that leading troops to fight can be done in such a way. I have never heard of it."
Zhang San thought to himself: You have never heard of it, but I already knew it.
Zhang San is from Li Shui.
He had long bought the book about banishing immortals and studied it day and night.
The method just now is what Zhang San saw in "The Art of War".
The Art of War is Li Shui's summary of the art of war.
Here are the methods for interweaving large corps into battles.
When gathered it is a ball of fire, when scattered it is a sky full of stars. It's so elusive that it's impossible to guard against it.
In the past, Zhang San only had theoretical reserves, but he just felt that Ban Xian's combat method was too incredible. After all, according to Zhang San's experience, once the team disperses, someone will definitely escape secretly.
Unexpectedly, after trying it in a foreign country, it actually succeeded.
Zhang San admired Li Shui greatly in his heart and felt that the Art of War of Banishing Immortals should be studied carefully.
Especially the banishment of immortals proposed that the soldiers should be educated. We must make them literate and understand the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
In particular, one of the points is very good. It is necessary to arrange special people in each team, or even each regiment, to be responsible for understanding the psychological trends of the soldiers and providing ideological education to the soldiers. Even the corps commanders and captains have certain checks and balances.
And such people are subordinate to each other, and are ultimately responsible to the emperor.
In this way, the Qin army will be absolutely loyal to the emperor. And no matter how scattered they are, they will eventually come together.
When Zhang San was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Feng Quli say: "What do you think we should do now to defeat the barbarian country?"
Feng Quli had fought against these people before and knew that he was no match for them, so he did not directly confront Anthony face to face, but chose to run away.
Now Feng Quli doesn't know how to fight this battle.
Seeing that Zhang San seems to have a lot of ideas, why not ask him for his opinion.
And Zhang San happened to really have an idea.
And this idea still comes from the Exorcist Art of War.
After Zhang San pondered for a few seconds, he said to Feng Quili: "Sir, the general believes that we should continue the current way of fighting."
Feng Quli: "Oh?"
Zhang San said: "Now most of the barbarian country's troops have arrived nearby. They have gathered here and are always looking for opportunities to fight us to the death."
"It's just that weird square formation. We haven't found a way to crack it for a while. If we challenge it, we may fail and lose the lives of the soldiers in vain."
Feng Quli nodded.
Zhang San added: "Actually, if we, the people of Qin, really fight them, we may not lose. It's just that a lot of people will die, that's for sure."
Feng Quili sighed: "Yes."
Zhang San added: "Therefore, the villain thought of a way."
He took out a crude map.
This map was temporarily drawn by the intelligence network. It was purely for emergency purposes, so it looked a bit crude.
Zhang San pointed to a place and said: "Now that Anthony's troops are here, we might as well leave them alone and attack other places."
"Now that the barbarian country is empty behind them, we can surely succeed with one strike."
Feng Quili frowned: "But, how should we attack?"
Zhang San said: "This is easy to handle. We just need to spread out the army, follow the original method, meet at the designated time and place, and then launch the attack."
"In this way, they will not be prepared in any way."
"Every time we attack, we choose areas where the opponent's defenses are weak. The goal is to eliminate their soldiers."
"I believe that soon, their soldiers will become fewer and fewer. And as we gradually become familiar with their fighting style, we can annihilate them in one fell swoop."
This suggestion was immediately recognized by Feng Quli.
After all, Feng Quili was avoiding the emperor's edict, so it would be best if he could disappear so that the envoy could not find him.
So Feng Quli agreed and ordered the entire army to prepare.
…………
Anthony was completely confused. He still couldn't figure out how the Qin people left.
Just when he was puzzled, new information came. The Qin people attacked a town.
Not only did they attack the town, they also stole food and grass.
It was nothing more than taking away the food and grass. They actually gave half of the food and grass to the poor.
It is said that countless people shouted long live the day, and some even regarded these Qin people as gods.
There were even some slaves who voluntarily joined the Qin army.
When Anthony heard this, his heart suddenly thumped.
He couldn't help but said: "What a familiar method."
A general next to him nodded and said: "It is indeed a very familiar method. In the past, wasn't this the same trick Sha Tilie and Mao Dun used? They actually destroyed a country with just a dozen people."
Anthony murmured to himself: "It's terrible, it's terrible. Are these Orientals devils?"
The general asked, "What should we do?"
Anthony said: "What should we do? Of course we must annihilate these people with all our strength. No one will be spared. We must kill them as soon as possible."
So Antony led his army and attacked the town.
But they missed.
The Qin people have left long ago.
There are only empty granaries left here and poor people with full bellies.
Immediately afterwards, intelligence came in that another town had been attacked.
The key is that the two towns are far apart, and there are even several cities in between.
How did these Qin people get there?
Why didn't you get any information beforehand?
What the hell is going on? Could it be that people in Qin had wings and could they fly?
The so-called having wings was just a casual remark made by Anthony.
But after hearing this, the ignorant people believed it to be true.
Soon, this became one of the most famous rumors in ancient Rome.
These poor people passed down word of mouth that the people of Qin were gods from heaven descending to earth. They all had white wings. Anyone who could see them could live longer and have enough to eat every day.
In the legend, these Qin people gradually became flesh and blood, with rich and bizarre plots.
Some people think that they are messengers sent from heaven, so they secretly call them angels.
…………
Now this group of angels are rushing towards the next town excitedly.
In order to prevent Anthony from catching clues, they chose targets irregularly.
Anyway, the large group of people can disperse and assemble at a designated location.
Then just toss around.
Feng Quili suddenly felt that this way of fighting was really wonderful.
Anthony, on the other hand, already had a headache.
She could never find the Qin people. Every time she got news, it was that some town had suffered another disaster or some official had been killed. Where was the food being robbed?
Anthony sighed and said to the people around him: "Mobilize all the troops and create an encirclement as large as possible. We must capture these Qin people this time."
Everyone agreed and waited patiently for the information.
Soon, news came that Feng Quli was attacking villages and towns.
The Romans who got the news immediately surrounded the surrounding area.
Their encirclement was very large, and their purpose was to prevent the Qin people from escaping.
In such a large encirclement, it is impossible for people to sit next to each other to form a circle without gaps.
In fact, they have gaps.
Gaps range from a few hundred meters to several miles wide.
There is no problem for a small group of people to enter such a gap, but it is definitely not possible for a large group of people.
There are hundreds of thousands of Qin people. Once they want to cross, they will definitely make a fuss.
And Anthony got accurate information and knew that the Qin people were indeed surrounded.
Anthony was overjoyed and ordered the encirclement to shrink slowly, to completely trap the Qin people.
But he didn't know that while he was shrinking the encirclement, Feng Quli also issued an order.
He ordered the soldiers to break into pieces, pass through the gaps in small groups, and then enter the vicinity of the next attack target.
Qin Bing had already learned this combat method many times, so he was divided into thousands of teams by familiar soldiers.
The teams began to pass through the gaps in the encirclement.
Along the way, no one made any noise and no one fell behind.
One day later, the Qin soldiers had arrived at the attack site. After resting for a few hours, Xu Fu ordered the attack.
As a result, the Roman soldiers on guard were killed.
The granary door was opened.
Except for the Roman upper class who guarded the place, all the poor people were happy.
They were reluctant to leave, fearing that Feng Quili would never come back.
And dozens of kilometers away, Anthony almost pulled out all his hair.
"What's going on? What's going on? Aren't they surrounded? Logically speaking, these people can't fly."
"But they...how did they get out? How come they still have the energy to attack the next village?"
"What is going on? Who can tell me?"
Anthony raised his head in pain, staring at the sky with a feeling of death.
Among the Qin Bing camp, Zhang San has become the most popular one. Many people, whether they are generals or soldiers, are quietly borrowing Zhang San's works on banishing immortals.
It can be said that without realizing it, this army no longer has the surname Feng.
