    People who treat others as fools will eventually discover that they are actually the fool.  New conditions for a fight.  Peterius agreed with a dark face. Although Cao Xin's request was humiliating enough, the Romans were unwavering in their confidence in winning.  After a dispute, Qin and Rome each sent five warriors to compete in a gladiatorial battle. According to Peterius's idea, the best result was to mark a fixed area in front of the two armies' formations in the Golden Horn, and then the soldiers from both sides would be inside.  Killing, and they, the bystanders, serve as witnesses. Whichever side is the last person standing represents the final victory of this side.  Cao Xin unceremoniously rejected this plan. He proposed another idea: There is an uninhabited island called Krall Island in the center south of the Bosphorus Strait. This is the link between Daqin and Rome.  The two teams compete for warriors and will board a boat to land on the island. Then both teams will rely on their own abilities to see who can survive longer and kill their opponents first to win the final victory.  This change highlights Cao Xin's adaptability. Although the radius of Kraer Island is only more than ten miles, the island's terrain is not flat. There are not only mangroves growing along the beach, but also rugged fringing reefs.  The Qin army can better exert its teamwork under such complex terrain conditions.  In the past few days, a lot of information about Rome, a powerful country in the West, has been continuously collected by the Qin army generals on the front line with the secret efforts of Meng Hu¡¯s men. Compared with the Qin State, which has entered the feudal system, the Romans  The imprint of slaves is quite deep. Like most of the nobles in the Senate, their favorite entertainment activity is to go to the Coliseum to watch a brutal killing of slave gladiators.  Arena.  It¡¯s the kind of place where there are stands all around.  In the middle is a circular viewing platform. When the gladiators enter the venue, they will kill each other until everyone except themselves falls, and the final winner will get their most precious thing¡ª¡ª  free.  ??For the slaves of Rome.  Freedom is the most precious, so they will go all out and risk their lives.  "Competing with the experienced Roman gladiators in a fixed venue, the Qin army obviously suffered a disadvantage. Although Cao Xin was fierce and powerful, he was also rough and subtle.  Regarding Cao Xin¡¯s request for a competition on Krall Island.  Peterius thought for a while and found no problems, so he nodded in agreement. Looking from the Golden Horn Bay towards Krall Island, if the weather is still good, he can vaguely see every move on the island.  In full view.  Peterius did not think there would be any ambush by the Qin people, and he also had great confidence in the five tall and tall Gallic warriors selected under his command.  Two boats sailed away from the coast.  "One on the left and one on the right, respectively, carried soldiers belonging to different camps.  Jinyang Hongtong people are one of the five selected warriors of the Qin Army. Hongtong will become famous because of a large locust tree in the future.  In the era when Zhidu lived, Hongtong was just an inconspicuous small village near Fenhe River.  Joining the Qin State¡¯s Western Expeditionary Army was an opportunity for Zhidu to change his destiny. He did not want to be like the descendants of the Jin State for generations, facing the loess and back to the sky, and living in the small place of Hongtong all his life.  In order to stand out, Zhidu studied fencing with Xu Fu, a ranger, and studied with Zheng Xuan, a great scholar.  He studied the works of hundreds of scholars, and when he was twenty years old, Zhidu saw the Qin order to recruit warriors for the Western Expedition on the notice at the gate of Xingyang City.  ¡°You should take your honor as a man immediately!¡± was announced.  The passionate words of encouragement suddenly hit Zhidu's heart that was ready to move.  In Da Qin, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.  Official positions also have their own division of labor. Young people, especially those without backgrounds, if they want to get ahead, they must bow their heads and flatter themselves. This is almost impossible for a proud person like Zhidu.  Among the five people.  Zhidu's military position was the leader of the team, so he naturally became the leader of this team. Compared with a Roman who was tall and imposing, the Qin army team was not tall and physically weak.  After the flash of success, there was almost no reason why they could defeat their opponents. ?? Peterius was proud of himself.  So what if Cao Xin proposed to change the venue of the competition. In terms of strength, the Romans were much stronger than the Qin people. The physique of the yellow people in the East could not be compared with the white people in the West.  ¡ª¡ª.  As soon as Zhidu and others landed on the island, they went straight to the mangrove forest growing along the island. This was the only place where food could be provided on Kraer Island. ? There are shrimps, crabs and many unknown small animals living in the mangroves.?, they avoid natural enemies here and absorb nutrients from the fallen branches and leaves of mangrove plants. For the soldiers of the Qin Army, there is not only food here, but also many hidden places that no one can find.  Since Li Yuan established his army in Xingyang and began training in special terrain, the Qin infantry has never stopped training in this special terrain.  On the contrary, when the Romans arrived in the mangroves, their advantage of height and length of arms would become a disadvantage, and the Qin people, who were small and flexible, could just use their strengths.  Under the blazing sun at noon.  The Romans walked closer and closer from the other end of the island. Their five tall bodies were like five hills, pressing towards the other end.  "Yellow-skinned monkeys dare to come to the land of Rome. Do you really want to live?" "Brothers, one by one in a moment, we will tear the Qin people into pieces and feed them to the fish, do you hear me?" At the head, one of the strongest  shouted the tall Roman warrior.  The confident Romans stepped into the mangroves. The waist-deep sea water was up to their waists. Waves of waves hit their faces, causing them to gradually sway.  The Gaul region is different from the Apennine Peninsula. Hills and mountains make up the main body of the Gaul region. Although the soldiers under Peterius are not afraid of the sea, when they actually enter the sea water, their hearts are still moved.  Trembling, this is not like being in the arena, with your feet on the flat ground, and you can use your strength as much as you want. What made the Romans even more angry was that the Qin people were hiding in the mangroves, although they could be seen from time to time.  Shadow, but it is not easy to chase him down.  Zhidu dispersed the five members of the Qin army team in the complex terrain of the mangroves and reefs. Among the five, two crossbowmen were responsible for long-range early warning, and two soldiers with excellent melee capabilities were responsible for resisting emergencies. Zhidu himself  With coordination and control from the center, the Qin army was unable to compete with the Romans due to innate factors when fighting one-on-one, but relying on collective strength, it may not be unable to compete with the enemy.  "Yellow-skinned monkey, if you have the ability, don't run away?" During the continuous hide-and-seek running, the Roman soldiers' patience was exhausted little by little.  From noon to almost sunset, the Roman search team and the Qin soldiers encountered each other several times in the mangroves, but the results every time were unsatisfactory. The Qin soldiers often got entangled and were immediately killed.  Several of them would attack from different directions, which made the Romans miserable.  In order to expand the search area, the five-man Roman team had to distance themselves from each other. This caused them to be repeatedly defeated by the Qin people and fell into an unfavorable situation.  When there was only a little afterglow left in the sun, this battle did not show the end yet. Both the Romans and the Qin people still had the energy to launch a night battle, although there were already injured soldiers among them.  , even though they barely ate anything all day long except for a little salty sea water on their lips.  Across the Golden Horn.  Petereus and Cao Xin, who were waiting, each set up their tents. The soldiers from both sides lit torches and continued to confront each other in the flickering light of the fire.  At the rear of their respective teams, the soldiers responsible for supporting the baggage were already preparing meals. The Qin army's side was a kind of film cake baked by grinding wheat and rice, similar to the Shandong pancake in later generations. This thing is durable and resistant to hunger.  It was very convenient when marching and fighting, and the Romans were not much different. As soon as the big pizza-like thing was served, the soldiers devoured it and ate it up.  However, the competing teams on Krall Island were not so lucky. They had to rely entirely on their own abilities to survive this time. When the night turned dark, Krall Island also fell into darkness. From the Golden Horn  Looking over the bay, there is nothing else to be seen except the whirring sound 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. They relied on these things to maintain their body's muscle energy. They spent the past month and a half in Anatolia.  The brutal training allowed Qin soldiers to develop their ability to survive in harsh conditions.  Compared with the well-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 crossed over without any effort.  The entire island searched extensively for the Qin people hiding in the mangroves and reefs. By the time the sun fell, their physical strength had been exhausted.  When their stomachs growled, the Romans realized that they had nothing to eat?  If they ask for help from Peterius and others on the other side, they will lose this game.  In desperation, the Romans had no choice but to look for food on their own. However, they had hardly received such unusual special operations training before. The Romans were really into eating tentacled creatures such as raw shellfish and crabs.  NoSwallow it into your stomach.  When it finally got light, the Romans retreated listlessly to the beach that belonged to them. The cold night forced them to rely on each other, and the two more seriously injured soldiers were already bleeding too much.  He was dying from too much and lack of food.  Facing the morning sun, Zhidu led three soldiers who could walk out of the mangrove forest. They held their chests high and raised their heads with solemn expressions. They were fearless and approached step by step towards where the Romans were.
