Chapter 1041

There can only be one voice in the army. Liu Shen made an actual violation of the military order of the Supreme Commander for the first time. Instead of being dealt with, he got the desired result. At that moment, he no longer existed as an officer, but as the prince of the Han Empire.

Since he has set out the spectrum of the emperor of the Han Empire, he must bear the special brought by this identity. Whether out of the need to take charge of the army or political considerations, Li Kuang must not let Liu Shen continue to stay in the army.

No commander wants an army to have someone who can resist and violate his military orders and is difficult to deal with, even if that person is a prince.

After discussion, barodos and palles believed that only in this way could it be normal. If the troops were not increased, it would be abnormal. After all, their next marching area was mountainous.

"I always find something strange." Pales could not say what was strange. He could only guess: "they should have found something, or something was ignored by us."

"The Marquis of cyris is very young!" Barodos guessed, "he should be the son of a high nobleman, with more than 20 guards around him. If we can hold him after action, we may be able to rely on him to escape."

"I should have ignored this!" Pales felt something wrong with what he said, but gave different opinions on barodos's statement: "we all know that the offspring of a high nobleman is nothing compared with gunpowder and flint gun. Isn't it?"

Barodos thought about it and admitted that he really had a wrong idea.

The fact is that at present, only the Han Empire has mastered the production methods related to firearms. Once it is no longer exclusive, it is bound to cause a new round of reshuffle. Compared with this, the descendants of a senior aristocrat are simply insignificant.

"Maybe we should try!" "It's useless, but it can be done by delaying some time," Paris explained

Barodos looked at Paris in embarrassment. He thought this guy didn't give himself face?

The transverse length of the mountain area is about 100 Li, and the thickness is about 30 Li?

Compared with the territory of the Han Empire, the mountains here can't see the appearance of green mountains and green waters. On the contrary, they can't see how many trees and plants there are. What they can see is a yellow color.

Probably due to the altitude, they can also see that most of the mountains that are not too high are shrouded in clouds.

If identified by modern geographical location, they have entered the border of Afghanistan.

Afghanistan is full of mountains, few flat areas, and long ago it was a barren place with few plants.

Of course, the Han army will not choose the Afghan border with mountains everywhere. They just have to set foot in it because of the constraints of the geographical environment, cross the mountain and move north to reach the side of a big river called Amu Darya in Persia.

Once they reach the Amu Darya River, the Han army will stop again and build another bridgehead. Only after the subsequent troops arrive will they officially march into Sasan.

When the army entered the mountain area, the length of the team was lengthened again due to the influence of the terrain, and it needed to be divided into several arrows to hurry up.

"Is there no way to cross the mountains in one day?" Li Kuang didn't think this was good news: "at the other end of the mountain, has there been any change?"

"Our troops who first crossed the mountain set up a temporary camp at the exit." Song Ping looked haggard a lot more than a few days ago. It can be seen how busy things are, so that he didn't have enough rest time and spent a lot of energy: "the scouts explored around and found only a few traces of enemy activities of less than 100 people within 50 miles."

The two have entered the mountain area, where they can just see Liu Shen's department.

The number of troops under Liu Shen's command increased to 3000, the number of firearm troops was still only 1000, and the number of cold weapon soldiers was 2000.

During the March, the cold weapon soldiers of the Han Army mixed with the Roman slave soldiers, and the soldiers equipped with firearms walked behind the team with Liu Shen.

This change disappoints barodos and Paris, but it also makes them uneasy.

There were at least two Han soldiers with cold weapons around every Roman, and without too much observation, it could be found that the Han soldiers were eyeing them. For example, as long as a Roman slave dared to make any changes, the Han soldiers would cut to death without hesitation.

The mountainous terrain is complex, which is actually a good opportunity for barodos and palles. It is only that the Han army who takes care of them has become soldiers with cold weapons. If you really do it, you have to rush away many Han soldiers with cold weapons with bare hands before you can rush to the firearms arms of the Han army.

"I can't." Pallas didn't know whether to relax or nervous: "the cyris are too cautious!"

Barodos's face was very gloomy.

When the day passed, the troops stopped marching at night and were ordered to rest on the spot.

Piles of bonfires are lit. If you look from the outside, there are several long dragons formed by bonfires in the mountain area. Each long dragon is more than ten miles long, which makes the picture look quite spectacular.

This location is muggy during the day and cold at night. It may be due to the terrain of the mountains. The northwest wind blows along the valley, and the flame of the campfire is tilted to the other side. If people don't keep warm enough, they must be shivered by the cold wind.

"You go and talk to the cyris?" Barodos was really shaken by the wind. He himself was like this. He knew what would happen to those people who didn't have enough to eat: "we are now the property of the cyris. They certainly don't want to see property damage. Go and ask for some blankets."

Pales nodded and stood up. As soon as he stood up, he immediately attracted the attention of many Han soldiers.

"What do you want?"

"It's too cold at night and the wind is too strong on this side."

"Sit down!"

"Can I go to your officer and discuss distributing some blankets to keep warm?"

That is, Paris can speak Chinese stumbling, or he can't communicate at all.

Xing Lin looked at Paris with eyes to eyes, and then looked at the Roman slave soldiers trembling in the cold wind. Those Roman slave soldiers were looking at this side.

"We're still useful." Pales said sincerely, "each of us has been strictly trained and is a good soldier. Once on the battlefield, we will kill many enemies of the Han Empire. We should not die so meaninglessly."

"Sit down and don't walk around." Xing Lin thought for a while and said, "I'll report it."

Pales saw Xing Lin's resolute attitude and sat down again in great disappointment. He wanted the blanket to be real, and he wanted to rely on walking to send a signal to the informed Romans that this was not the time to act rashly. Besides, he wants to walk around and observe. It's too restrictive to stay in one place all the time.

Xing Lin is just a chief of the staff. He needs to report the news level by level.

About twenty minutes had passed since the Roman request was conveyed to Liu Shen.

"Do you have enough blankets?" Liu Shen asked Xu Guang, the commander of other departments. Xu Guang was in charge of the logistics of the team. He got the answer that there were indeed enough blankets and asked for opinions: "what do you think?"

"It depends on what your highness thinks." Seeing Liu Shen's unexpected expression, Xu Guangjian said, "distributing blankets will inevitably cause some movement. If the Romans are upset, they may start immediately. Your highness should distribute blankets if you want to induce them to start."

Liu Shengang ignored this layer and was silent for a while.

They took very strict care of the Roman slave soldiers. As long as the Romans didn't lose their mind, they wouldn't do it under such conditions. They would hibernate until the care of the Han army was relaxed.

Up to now, they have no actual evidence to show that the Romans did submit falsely, all out of a guess. That is why no initiative was taken.

"You report to the captain." Liu Shen was silent for about five minutes. With a firm face, he said, "it's better to arrange properly to lure the Romans to do it because of our negligence!"

Xu Guang seemed to have guessed what Liu Shen would choose and agreed immediately.

On the other hand, Yang Rui saw Xu Guang and understood the details. The accident on his face flashed away. He smiled brightly and said happily, "you are worthy of your highness!"

Xu Guang knows what Yang Rui's words mean.

The superior person may not be smart enough, but in case of emergency, he should have the determination and courage to make a decision. In case of hesitation, he should not appear on the superior person.

"Since your Highness has made a decision..." Yang Rui thought for a moment and said to Xu Guang, "naturally, we have to cooperate."

Xu Guang saluted and turned away with the permission of Yang Rui.

Soon Li Kuang also received the news. He was qualified enough to show a happy expression when he heard the news: "our highness, very good!"

Song Ping frowned and hesitated and said, "the terrain in mountainous areas is complex, and it is more difficult to dispatch troops at night."

"No harm." Li Kuang said confidently, "as long as your highness doesn't go to the front line in person, with the surrounding forces, you can easily encircle the Romans when there is a change, and you won't let one go."

"In this case..." Song Ping no longer hesitated, but put on a slightly ferocious expression and said: "it's better to completely solve the hidden danger!"

Li Kuang had long had similar considerations and guessed what the Romans wanted to do, even if their guess was wrong. At present, the 3000 Roman slave soldiers have been virtually limited to twice their Han soldiers.

There is no reason to guard against thieves for thousands of days. If there were not some concerns, for example, considering the reputation of the Han Empire and Liu Shen's feelings, they would have wanted to layout. Even if the Romans didn't want to do anything, it could lead to the fact that they wanted to do something.

As long as the Romans are killed, there is absolutely no way to resurrect the dead afterwards. It is not that the Han people define things as they want.

"Your Highness has made such a decision. It's good." Li Kuang nodded to Song Ping: "it will be completely solved!"

About an hour later, palles got a reply. The Han army would distribute a blanket to each of them, but they needed to go to pick it up by themselves in batches.

"The cyris are so cautious!" Barodos was depressed and sighed: "such a powerful and cautious cyris is an unprecedented enemy!"

"Nothing wrong." Paris also has his own view: "strong and arrogant people are not terrible. They will ignore something because of their arrogance and always do some stupid things. Strong and cautious people will try their best to cover up their flaws and make people completely unable to find opportunities."

The Han army was willing to distribute warm blankets to the Roman slave soldiers. The Romans were relieved to know. Some of them have been frozen to the whole body but feel warm. That is not a good phenomenon. The Romans are not stupid barbarians. It is clear that the situation is very close to being frozen to death.

"I'll go first." Barodos didn't think much and blessed Paris: "you are always ready. If the place where you receive the blanket is where they store firearms, I will do it immediately."

Paris hesitated a little and nodded fiercely.

The mountain road on which they marched was not wide, and many people sat casually on the road that was less than one meter short.

The terrain of the whole section is different. Some places are very steep, and there are gentle slopes that can keep dozens or hundreds of people.

Barodos and nine other Romans were walking under the supervision of six Chinese soldiers. They passed a narrow and steep slope. Just turned the corner and went out, but a large number of Chinese soldiers rushed up. They almost had no time to shout anything. After being submerged, they covered their mouths and tied them up.

"Give you one last chance. If you don't want to die, say your real purpose." The translator paused for two seconds and continued, "nod if you are willing to cooperate."

Most of the ten Romans who were tied up and blocked their mouths were frightened and confused. They really didn't understand how they could suffer such a fate if they cooperated so much.

Barodos was both surprised and angry. He really didn't expect that the Han army would make such a thing. He wondered if someone who knew the action would betray him, and kept thinking about what he should do.

"No one is willing to cooperate?" The translator got a sign and gave the Romans an ultimatum: "five seconds, you don't want to cooperate, life is only five seconds!"

Six of the ten Romans immediately nodded, but barodos was not included.

"Take it to the cave." Yang Rui, the person in charge here, said, "if you fool us, let them not die easily."

Six nodding Romans were dragged away.

Barodos had just seen clearly that the six nodding Romans did not include the insider of the plan. He was still hesitating, but he saw four Han soldiers drawing out their weapons and approaching. The next moment, he nodded his head wildly.
