This kind of tactics of the Han army stunned the Sasanian war god Shapur. He had never encountered such tactics.
He was angry.
However, there was nothing he could do.
Because the Han army's cavalry was lighter and could come and go freely, he wanted to lead the Sasanian warriors to rush over, but the Han army's cavalry came and went like the wind.
Don't give him any chance at all.
What's even more terrible is that the Han cavalry was galloping and shooting at the same time. At every moment, some Sasanian cavalry fell off their horses and fell to the ground.
Oh, no!
We can't go on like this,
If this continues,
Not to mention 40,000 Sasanian warriors, even 400,000 Sasanian warriors would be exhausted by the Han army.
What to do?
Shapur swung his sword to block the arrows coming from the air, while thinking about how to solve the difficult problem in front of him.
...
Assyrian city head.
The city lord Heros had already come to the city to watch the battle. He was very excited because he believed in his brother. His brother was the Sasanian god of war and the king of kings. He was a mere Easterner and was no match for his brother.
p>
But——
It had only been less than an hour, and at this time, his face was gloomy.
He saw that on the battlefield in the distance, his brother led the Sasanian warriors to charge left and right, but they could not touch a single Han army. On the contrary, the Han army was able to do so with ease.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man also had a sad face.
He said nervously: "We have to find a way, otherwise... Your Majesty..."
The middle-aged man hesitated to speak, and Heros also said nervously: "Stor,
You are very independent in one thing. This is the time for you to show your talents."
Stoll was stunned for a moment.
"Your Highness!"
Storr looked at the battlefield in the distance. The Han army was still ravaging the Sasanian warriors. The Sasanian army, led by His Majesty King Shapur, was still struggling to cope.
The solution?
Oh, how to solve this?
The Han cavalry was faster, but the Sasanian cavalry could not catch up with the Han cavalry because they were heavily armored. What's more terrible was that the Han cavalry was more numerous than Shapur.
Is there really no other way?
Oh my God!
We must find a way now, otherwise the Sasanian dynasty may suffer disaster.
...
Whether it is Heros or Storr, they know very well that once His Majesty King Shapur is defeated or even killed by the Han army... the newly rising Sassanid Dynasty may fall immediately.
It is at this critical moment.
Stoll was suddenly stunned.
Eyes widened,
Raise your hand and point to the battlefield ahead,
He said excitedly: "Your Highness... Your Highness... there is another way, which may be able to reverse the situation of the war..."
"Really?" Helos was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked excitedly: "Stor, please tell me what method can be used to change the current crisis."
"Decisive battle -" Stoll said coldly: "Your Highness, look..." He pointed downwards. It was a temporary high platform with more than 10,000 Han infantry phalanxes nearby.
On the high platform, several people stood on the platform to watch the battle.
Stoll continued: "The emperor of the East should be there!"
"???" Heros rubbed his eyes and looked over.
"How to do it?" Heros asked.
Stoll was noncommittal and said: "Now His Majesty the King is deeply surrounded. That's because the Han army's cavalry is lighter and moves faster, while our army is heavily armored and it is difficult to keep up with the Han army's pace.
.."
Well, Heros has been watching the battle, and of course he also saw the situation on the battlefield ahead. The current battle situation is that the Han army is constantly shooting from the periphery, and the Sassanid army cannot reach the Han army if it wants to attack.
The five short guns and one long gun they carried have all been thrown. According to their common battles, the two armies should be fighting hand to hand, and then fight to the death.
The Sasanians are very brave, and if they were to fight hand to hand, he firmly believed that the Sasanians would win.
But now, the Sasanians can't touch the Han army at all, and the Han army has no intention of engaging them in close combat. After all, they come and go like the wind now, and they can also shoot the Sassanid cavalry. Why should they take the risk to fight with the Sassanid people?
What about fighting?
The Han army’s choice was not wrong.
Stoll said that there was going to be a decisive battle. Heros did not understand it for a moment, but Stoll still pointed to the high platform and said in a deep voice: "There is a proverb in the East... To capture the thief, capture the king first. If you can capture their emperor,
, or even beheaded..." Stoll turned around and looked at Heros.
"!!!"
Heros suddenly raised his brows, and he approved Stoll's suggestion.
Just——
Is this Eastern emperor so easy to capture?
"Your Highness!" Storr continued: "We still have ten thousand cavalry in the Assyrian city. If we want to turn defeat into victory, we can only go out in full force and kill the emperor of the East in one fell swoop."
There were originally more than 30,000 garrison troops in the Assyrian city. Shortly after dawn, Masli led 20,000 heavily armored troops out of the city to attack the Han army. Now they are still fighting with the Han army in the southwest of the city. They cannot escape for the time being. After all, they are infantry.
They were dealing with Han Chinese cavalry.
But in comparison, Masli's 20,000 men were not hunted by the Easterners like Shapur. They relied on heavy equipment, and each of them also had a shield in his hand. Although the Han cavalry also had stray shots, the casualties they caused were
But much smaller.
Masli's casualties were not very large, but he was also restrained by a Han army cavalry.
At present, the Sasanians only have more than 10,000 cavalry left in the city, and they are still on the verge of war.
"Your Highness!" Stoll continued: "The Eastern cavalry is fast because they do not have heavy armor. We can also follow suit and let these ten thousand people take off their heavy armor and attack their cavalry as fast as possible.
The emperor...the cavalry attacks the infantry, and their emperor may be captured in one battle."
"As long as the emperor of the East is captured, the Han army besieging His Majesty the King will inevitably be in chaos. By then..."
Heros was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that this was the only way at the moment. He stared at Stoll happily and said excitedly: "Stor, do you know? You are the savior of Sassanid, and Sassanid people are proud of you.

"Send the order!" Heros immediately said loudly: "Order the cavalry in the city to immediately remove their heavy armor and rush out from the east gate... Oh, no, I will lead it personally. Today, I will capture the emperor of the East alive."<
/p>
Now that the matter has come to this, Heros is ready to fight.
Because he knew very well that once His Majesty the King was defeated, the Sasanians would be completely late. Now they had a way to break the situation. In order to increase the weight of victory, he did not want to make any mistakes, so he decided to attack personally.
Half an hour later, the east gate of Assyria City.
The closed city gate suddenly opened, and a group of light cavalry filed out. They no longer had the common heavy armor, and their weapons were reduced. Each of them held a long gun in their hands. As soon as they left the city, they did not attack the blocked city.
Thousands of Han troops on the periphery were galloping towards the south of the city like lightning.
"Not good!"
"They are going to the south of the city!"
The Han general who was blocking the east gate exclaimed: "Chase, we can't let them go to the south gate."
The Han general could naturally see that the Sasanian cavalry suddenly came out lightly armed, and their purpose was naturally to reinforce the battlefield outside the southern city.
"General!" A small colonel reminded: "At this time, the Assyrian city is empty. It is a good opportunity for our army to capture the city. We have a hundred thousand troops outside the south city. Even if the Sassanid cavalry goes there, it can't
How?"
"Huh???"
The general looked back when he heard the sound and saw that the Assyrian city gate was closing. They had known the number of the Assyrian city defenders a few days ago. In the morning, a group of Sasanians came out of the south of the city and were fighting with Zhang Bao.
Fighting, now the Sasanians have come out with another force.
How many people are there in this Assyrian city now?
"Quick!"
"Fight in!"
The general immediately shouted loudly, commanded thousands of Han troops under his command, and went straight to the Assyrian city to kill him.
