Six hundred and seventieth eight chapters tide flies (four)

The blood solidified the dust, forming a huge mottled battlefield with dog teeth intertwined. The soldiers hedged. Dian Wei's iron armor knocked out of the crowd and swung a head in his hand. It was from a general in the Sassanian Persian army. In a moment, he slammed on the shield that was hit, and the bloody mark was printed, and the skull and fur were splattered.

"The Great Han Western Expedition Army is here--" The giant man's voice exploded like thunder.

The direction he was heading was the position of the Persian king flag, and he led the Xiliang infantry to advance vigorously. The ground was burning with flames, and black smoke was swaying. Amid the roar of the ground, cavalry figures broke through the smoke and silence. Four thousand and five hundred white wolf cavalry bypassed the intertwined and fought front lines and launched a charge again. The tragic level of the war suddenly increased to the extreme.

During the half month of the battle, from the beginning to test each other and small-scale contact fighting, as time went by, small-scale wars became increasingly intensive. The Sassanian Persians were deeply influenced by the nomadic peoples in Central Asia, and even surpassed the Parthian Empire for cavalry operations. Heavy cavalry and light cavalry developed in parallel. When they fought with the White Wolf Cavalry under Gongsun Zhi, both sides were riding and shooting, then contacted and fought, and then opened up the distance to shoot archery... Repeatedly, this made the Western Expedition Army quite distressed. As long as they could not trap the opponent's cavalry and annihilate it, it would be difficult to take down this war as soon as possible.

Even though there are wars every day, each battle will be withdrawn after only more than two hours. The generals of the Western Expedition Army were all killed in the sea of ​​blood. The young Persian emperor on the opposite side also had enough wisdom to deal with it, and seemed unwilling to fight the Western Expedition Army head-on.

"He should be delaying..." After the war was over today, Gongsun Zhi had been thinking about what the Persian emperor opposite would do next. Ma Chao and Cao Chun were watching him quietly.

"Yan Rou, who went north, sent back the news that the Persian cavalry ravaged the northern part of Anxi, and he fought fifteen times, and Persian civilians in various cities in Anxi were in chaos. The Persian emperor on the opposite side probably wanted to use his main force to hold us back, and then lock us here with the territorial advantage he captured. When the soldiers consumed almost the same amount, he wanted to take down all the members of our Western Expedition Army-"

Zhang Fei punched hard: "Who should be killed, I said they were timid and did not fight head-on. It turned out that they wanted to use this strategy!"

The voice weakened here, looking at Gongsun Zhi in the first place: "...... Then, how can we fight next? You can't waste time with him here."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Since that man likes to play so much, I will play with him." Gongsun Zhi narrowed his eyes and watched the bean-sized flames shaking in the lamp oil, and was silent for a while: "Recalling the Anxi cavalry and the Heishan cavalry Yan Rou, the Xiliang cavalry protects the right wing of the infantry, the archers protect the left wing, and retreats to Taixifeng's station. If the Persian army comes, they will drag them in reverse."

"In addition, the three tribes of the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan were scattered and rested in the north and south provinces, hunting Persian light cavalry. If there were scattered tribes along the way, they would tell them that the Persian army would be killed, leaving only the Persians who wanted to continue to live on this land, and then they would rise up and resist."

The brief discussion dispersed with the order. It was midsummer in the second year. The night was hot. Gongsun Zhi was wearing only a deep dress and carrying Dian Wei. Li Ke walked in the camp, and bonfires burned in an orderly manner, illuminating the shadows of the three people. Soon, a figure with armor on his body was added.

"Zihe, why don't you go back to the side of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, what are you looking for me?" Gongsun Zhi inspected a nearby soldier tent, looked back at him and said with a smile, then waved his hand and continued to walk forward, "Time flies so fast... I remembered that when you and me, you were white and clean, with a thin skin and tender flesh, and now you are almost as dark as General Zhang."

The voice paused and said again: "Tell me, what's the matter."

On the other side, Cao Chun, who is already in his thirties, is indeed hard to see the old scholar's anger on his past. When he heard about his past, he smiled, but his eyes were fixed on his back walking across the street, and he raised his hand: "Governor, Chun comes here and actually wants to ask, the Governor should have other plans in his mind?"

"No!" In front of him, he stood still and Gongsun Zhi turned his head slightly: "In the previous half month of the fight, Zihe could see that the Sassanian Persian Emperor is not a mediocre person. He not only judges the situation, but also has the patience to confront us. If he wants to consume the entire Western Expedition Army a little bit, he must be more patient than him to deal with such a person, do something beyond his expectations and disrupt his steps."

He stretched out his palm and slowly turned over his palm: "................... It's time for us to turn the tables."

In the voice, my eyes looked at the fire passing by, and the picture gradually blurred, and I remembered some things.

In fact, Gongsun Zhi had not told anyone about anything in his mind. It was also something he had been planning since the Western Expedition, which was to break the entire West. It was best that people entrenched the country in every place and on every hill, just like the situation in the Western Regions. On the night before Stephanie sent her back that day, he sat in front of the fireplace with Dimat for a long time and said a lot.

"......Faced with the strong Daqin and Anxi and even the many ethnic groups and tribes around you, you may die in their hands without the opportunity to show your ability. But facing a weak Daqin and a broken West, there are small countries that have been established in a hurry. If you want to get a share of the pie in such an environment, then your chance will come. This is a gift for you to your father. I can't watch you grow up little by little, but I can help you grow up early."

"Don't that kill many people?"

The wolf king hugged the child and gently stroked his hair, "......This is the case in this era. You must get used to it. If you don't get used to it, you will die."

In the seventh year of Jian'an, the weather was approaching autumn, and the situation of the confrontation suddenly turned sharply. The Han Western Expedition Army, which was facing 150,000 Persian troops, seemed to have lost its troops overnight. The overwhelming cavalry disappeared. Ardashir, who seemed to be calm, had already rushed to investigate everywhere. While sending troops to test the enemy who was slowly retreating westward, he did not gain any advantage in several confrontations, but the news has been confirmed - nearly 60,000 Selius cavalry are missing.

This made Aldashire's thoughts a little blocked and his heart sucked.

In places where he could not see, countless cavalry teams divided into dozens and hundreds of cavalry teams, centered on the rest capital Hekadonbiru, spread nearby provinces and cities such as Ekbatana, Bailaomen, Apameya, Hilgania, etc., spread the documents copied for several days in Latin and Tocharia everywhere. The Parthians in the team passionately told the Persians about the massacre of the city and incited the Parthians to resist. In the following two months, Persian civilian riots became more and more frequent, which made the Parthian people who did not want to get involved gradually no longer calm. First, there were small-scale physical conflicts. After the death of people, the tribes and families gathered more people to seek revenge. The perverts followed in the middle to cheer or incite. It was just a fight between hundreds of people, which gradually evolved into a melee of hundreds of people.

The Parthians fought against the Persians, and the tribes fought between the tribes, and the provincial governors' guards later joined in, forming a larger vortex of war, which slowly spread and almost swept the entire Parthian Empire.

The ultimate goal of hunting grassland cavalry and Han chariots with missions was to hunt Persian civilians between provinces. Ardashir called on millions of Persians to participate in this war. After inciting, these cavalry pointed their butchers at the Persian-dressed men, women, children who could see along the way, and villages attacked by the Huns, Xianbei and Wuhuan. The tribes often find it difficult to see the living people. The wooden fences of the villages and the heads of Persians were inserted under the trees.

When the news came back in October, Persian Emperor Ardashir sat alone in the tent and was silent for a few days, and then issued an order to withdraw Hekadonbiru. He needed to re-arrange his plan, and winter was coming.

At the same time, the Roman army in the west had a lot of defenses arranged by Thrace. While guarding against the Germans who rushed south, they rectified military affairs. Since the reform of the army, all kinds of barbarians who were originally mercenaries had become dissatisfied. After all, they were busy fighting with money and making military achievements, and at the same time they became Roman citizens, enjoying superior treatment. When the government orders came, they suddenly became a situation where they had no money to get it and had to pay taxes.

Amid all kinds of dissatisfaction, the nine Roman legions slowly walked to the west of Constantine and started to rectify in the name of defense. At this time, Constantine's conscripted alliance army had begun to take shape. Since the end of the year, Lu Bu was a little ill, and perhaps because of the unacceptable conditions in the country, his complexion has improved a lot today. When he walked to the city, he was surrounded by crossbows. The Spartan warriors holding a large round shield shouted at the new recruits. A little further away, Gao Shun led a Spartan general and several Roman legion commanders to discuss the city defense.

Lu Bu turned his eyes to his eyes while holding the wall. A group of people walked over. The woman in the lead was wearing a red cloak, which looked particularly eye-catching in front of the soldiers. She was tall and graceful, with long black hair and red feathers tied up. While talking to the young man from the Lu family beside her, she was giving orders to the messenger, looking much more mature and capable. When she saw her father standing here, Lu Lingqi smiled on her face and smiled like a little daughter.

"Dad's health seems to be good."

"Hahaha! No matter how bad it is, the people of Daqin are going to fight."

Lu Lingqi suddenly grabbed the hilt of the knife and snorted with a wide eyebrow: "They need to have that skill. Winter is coming soon. As long as their turtle climbs slowly, they may not be able to get up next year. Lingqi can't wait, and she really wants to go out of the city to rush to kill."

Next to him, Lu Xun quietly watched the father and daughter talking, and then a soldier came over to whisper something in his ear. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and interrupted: "Wen Hou! Lingqi, General Gao has something to discuss."

"Well, I'll go now." Lu Lingqi turned her head and waved her hand: "Dad, you are not healthy yet. Go back and rest first. My daughter goes to discuss military information with Uncle Gao first. Report to you after you go back later."

Lu Bu nodded with a smile, watched his daughter leave with a heroic look, and sighed: "My daughter has grown up..."

It was not yet snowing, and in the east, the sea of ​​corpses and blood was piled up.

The Kushan army was divided into two routes, one way north and the other way was to advance to Dayuan, the other way was to enter Parthia, and plunder the land frantically on the eve of the cold winter. This was an unpredictable variable, or a variable caused by greed. Everyone who received news from the entire Central Asia and even the Mediterranean area felt extremely complicated.

The warm blood pounced on the cold city wall, and Zhang Ren waved his knife: "The city is there, the people are there, and I, Han people, will never take a step back--"
