Chapter 708: Taking Hatra (2-in-1)

"Like...... No! ”

The person being questioned didn't know much either, but it didn't seem to have asked.

Because it was really ignored by the news.

And they all subconsciously thought that it was themselves who came back.

After all, the clothes and equipment are all from the local side, which is very different from the Roman characteristics with obvious signs.

"Well, no, bastard!" The caliph was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger, and when he saw that the gate was half open, he drew his sword and rushed forward, drinking as he rushed:

"Close the door, close the door immediately......"

The caliph's voice immediately diluted the excitement and joy of the city and the city.

The rest soldiers were stunned for a moment.

Closing the gates?

Why do you want to close the city gates, our great victory has returned, captured Alexander Qin alive, and Ganma wants to close the city gates.

But the next moment they understood why.

Because Xu Ding heard the caliph's command, and the eagerness that rushed over, he also shouted: "Do it!" ”

With a simple two words, the more than 1,000 cavalry generals outside the city immediately clenched their weapons.

Raising the bow and shooting the arrow, the one holding the sword followed Xu Ding and rushed to the gate of the city.

The ropes on Xu Ding's body were all slipknots, and they were not tied at all, so when Xu Ding rushed over, all the ropes on his body were loose, he took off the rope sleeve, and directly threw the rope to hit the rest soldiers who were in a hurry to close the city gate, and rushed in a few flash steps.

"Bang!"

A punch was thrown, and the body of a stabbed soldier slammed into the mottled wall like a cannon.

Then a sweeping leg was spent, and the few saved were also cooked.

Only then did Xu Ding push the other door, and the two gates were all wide open.

The horsemen outside urged their horses to rush in, leaping over Xu Ding and entering the city.

At this time, the caliph rushed to the side with his sword in hand, and with a sword stabbed, one of the rebel cavalrymen was dismounted.

However, the caliph did not feel well, because several spears and swords came from behind.

Although he swung his sword to block it, he was also shaken to the side, and was almost knocked over by the horse.

The caliph couldn't stop the cavalry of the rebel army, and his men couldn't stop it either, although the resting soldiers who rushed were all elite, but in the face of the cavalry rush with momentum, they still didn't dare to meet it head-on, and could only dodge if they could dodge on the side.

The horses entered, and the rest soldiers on the street were either knocked into the air or slashed to death, and Xu Ding quickly jumped on his horse and followed behind.

Suddenly, a figure swept into the air, and Xu Ding waved his sword to block it, with a bang.

The man jumped on the female wall, and Xu Ding looked over there, wasn't it the enemy general who had just spoken and saw through the plan to deceive the city?

In an instant, Xu Ding knew that this was a big fish, a general with an unusual identity, so he urged the horse to rush to the female wall.

At this time, the rest soldiers rushed down from above to support, Xu Ding swung his sword and slashed, killed all the sabbatarians who rushed to the rest of the city, and directly chased the caliph to the city wall.

At this time, countless resting soldiers fell on the wall, all of whom were wounded by arrows or set to die.

The caliph held his sword, wiped the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth, and added his lips, since he was a child, he was still the first person to make him bleed from injury.

Of course, just now, he knew that Xu Ding was a powerful and powerful player.

The power is definitely greater than yourself.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to shake yourself away, and it would be impossible to dodge the sword just now.

So he couldn't hit it and hurriedly ran up to the city, and it turned out that he guessed correctly, if he was a step slower just now, the head would have landed.

Xu Ding jumped off his horse, threw away the sword he had picked up, and then took the long wall on his horse.

The sword of the West is not suitable for him, and it is not easy to play.

Or the spear is more enjoyable, offensive and defensive integration, fast or slow, can stretch and contract, how to fight.

A pat on the back. The horse was also psychic, and turned his head and went down the female wall.

As if to say brother, I'll wait for you below, don't delay too long.

The caliph and the others did not act rashly, waiting for the horses to come down the wall.

The horse's hooves stepped out, and every foot seemed to ring the alarm bell, making the rest soldiers nervous and apprehensive.

The brave and invincible Alexander Qin, how to fight this.

Can you beat him?

On both sides of the city were resting soldiers, but none of them rushed forward, holding their weapons and staring at Xu Ding, paying attention to any small movements he made.

"Kill!" The caliph suddenly shouted.

The stalemate resting soldiers finally got the horn to attack, and reflexively rushed to Xu Ding.

Xu Ding stabbed with a spear, as fast as a dragon, and instantly stabbed the neck of a resting soldier, and then picked it up, turned around and struck a heavy blow, knocking a resting soldier behind him to the ground with a knife.

The soldier's shoulder bones were shattered, and he howled in pain, and Xu Ding kicked out, and his body flew upside down and crashed into the other rest soldiers.

Then he stabbed and slashed several swords here, Xu Ding returned the gun to block it, and then swept it.

Suddenly, several resting soldiers rushed out a tube of blood, spilling a lot of blood spots on Xu Ding's body.

"Broken!"

Xu Ding took advantage of the situation and went straight in, with a quick shake of the gun, the spear swayed left and right, and the rest soldiers who were blocking the front were shot, stabbed and picked one after another, and fell to the wall battlements on both sides.

The caliph's eyes bulged when he saw it, and he broke out in a cold sweat, swinging his sword and slashing at it, aiming at Xu Ding's head.

However, as soon as Xu Ding put away the gun and turned around, he was like a ghost, as fast as lightning, and he galloped behind the caliph.

As soon as the spear came out, the caliph's sword-gripping arm ached, and the whole person turned into pain in a moment of astonishment.

Then the sword landed on the ground with a clang.

The caliph tried to shoot back sideways, but Xu Ding gently drew his gun and slapped him slightly in the neck.

"Don't move, you'll die!"

Although Xu Ding spoke the language of the Roman officials, the caliph still stopped his body movements.

Because he understands Roman and knows that he is moving, the other party will really kill.

"Since you can understand what I say, it seems that you can speak Roman, tell me your identity, don't try to hide it, your identity is too low!"

The caliph's heart trembled, what kind of person is this, he can't say that his identity is lower.

The caliph had reason to believe that as long as he said that he was just an ordinary nobleman, the other party would not hesitate to kill him.

After all, people who have no value are not even qualified to be prisoners.

Exhaled a breath and looked at Xu Ding with his weapon in his arms, but with a frightened look on his face, the caliph knew that this time he was really carrying it.

The city of Hatra, which never fell, was captured by a group of rebels.

And the other party is only more than a thousand rides.

"I am the caliph of Hatrari, my status is the most noble here, my power is the greatest here, I don't know if this is enough to enter the eyes of His Excellency Alexander Qin."

In the end, the caliph still truthfully revealed his identity.

Because he wasn't sure if Alexander Qin had superhuman intelligence in addition to his bravery.

The best way to deal with smart people is to be honest, and the faster you die, the smarter you are.

If he hadn't been clever tonight, he wanted to trap the rebels with a few truckloads of wine and dried food and meat, and he wouldn't have let the other party seize the opportunity to defraud and open the city gate.

"You are the caliph, you are the supreme commander here, okay, I believe you for the time being, let your people put down their weapons, our army treats prisoners preferentially, if it weren't for your country not believing us, I don't think I would want to use this method to enter the city." Xu Ding was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this guy in front of him turned out to be the main general of Hatra City.

It was a bonus.

It is providential that just taking a prisoner is the supreme leader of the enemy army.

The caliph ordered his men to take their weapons as promised, and a group of men came up from the city, and then tied up all the rest soldiers.

Xu Ding put away the gun, and then said: "Give him a hemostatic bag, let's go to the city!" ”

"Thank you!" Although the shot just now was not fatal, it is not a good thing to shed too much blood, and the caliph thanked him and stopped the bleeding himself.

Then follow Xu Ding to the city.

Where the caliph passed, he saw the Sabbaths who had not yet surrendered, and they all ordered them to surrender.

The caliph is the master of Hatra, the caliphate family is the heaven of this piece, and all the soldiers did not dare to disobey, and they all laid down their arms and became prisoners of the rebels.

In the end, even the Caliph's mansion opened its doors to welcome Xu Ding and the others.

He took all the captives into the barracks, took control of the gates and the main roads in the city, and sat in the middle of the position where the caliph had sat before, and motioned for the caliph to sit down on his left hand.

The caliph was in a complicated mood and was very uncomfortable, but as a nobleman, he had long been accustomed to being unhappy, so he sat down obediently.

Xu Ding saw that he had a higher opinion of him.

There are really not many such nobles, and it is indeed rare to be a captive and still be able to maintain one's heart.

So Xu Ding said directly: "General Caliph, we have said that our rebel army is only going to Armenia under the pretext of resting, and I can only deeply regret the misunderstanding between the two armies. ”

The caliph stood up, bowed the same and replied: "The two armies are fighting, casualties are inevitable, if what General Qin said is true, and there is no intention of violating my empire in peace, then I apologize to Your Excellency, and at the same time, I am willing to explain the situation to His Majesty in the winter capital to alleviate the misunderstanding." ”

"Of course, I am a seed, a seed of light, I just went to the dark land to dispel the darkness, I never thought of it to be bad for the Rest Empire, I believe that your Emperor Majesty will dissolve it." I don't understand that I have defeated Hatra, and I don't care about your rest at all, Xu Ding continued:

"My army of foot soldiers will arrive in Hatra in a few days, and they may rest here for a while, and then go east and north in Qichen, so they may have to talk in Hatra for a while, during which time I hope that your land can provide some food to ensure the logistics of our army, and of course we will pay a certain amount of gold as compensation."

Can I say no?

The city has been beaten down by you, and if you don't agree, you won't come in?

The caliph didn't know whether Xu Ding's words were true or not, but he had become a prisoner, and there was no condition to talk about, so he replied:

"As the host, we welcome friendly friends and will try our best to cooperate with your army, but I don't know how long General Qin is going to stay."

After a while, how long will it take, it's autumn now, and in a while it will snow in winter.

Whether the rebels will stay here or not, the caliph must try to figure out.

If the rebels really put on good food and drink for a few days, they will be considered to have been robbed by robbers.

If he wants to occupy this place, then he has to prepare early.

Xu Ding stared at the caliph without speaking, nor did he say anything, nor did his expression change.

The caliph was stared at with some trepidation, but he still maintained an unsmiling expression on his face.

"At least five days, at most half a month, to the east of Armenia, our army lacks guides and maps, as well as some necessary winter supplies, if we can raise these early, and there is no Roman army to pursue, of course, the sooner the better!" Xu Ding looked away from his gaze at the caliph and looked out the door.

This is true, he has no intention of occupying the cities of the Rest Empire.

And it's not a good place for development either.

The signs of the Han side sending troops to fight are becoming more and more frequent, and he needs to return to the Han as soon as possible to deal with the affairs over there, so here he needs to hand over to the twelve to take custody.

Twelve can only do some regular hosting business, and it can't do anything related to the life and death of the rebels.

After listening to Xu Ding's reply, the caliph secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be seen that Xu Ding doesn't look like lying, so he shouldn't be lying to him.

At most, it will not take more than half a month, which is also bearable.

This year's tax revenue has been all wasted, and it has encountered a natural disaster.

As a great nobleman, the caliph still has basic cultivation and experience.

So he stood up and said, "I'll try my best to help General Qin!" ”

"Thank you very much, but in order to avoid trouble, the caliph will be with me these days, I am very interested in the Rest Empire, and I want to ask you for advice." Xu Ding also stood up and smiled slightly.

"Don't dare to give advice, General Qin can ask me if there is anything I don't understand, I will know everything."

After taking Hatra, Xu Ding's troops strictly restrained their generals, and with the cooperation of the caliph, there was no riot in the city.

Only the rest of the civilians in the city felt a little uncomfortable.

The good city of Hatra was captured by the rebels.

Their supreme caliph general turned out to be the retinue of Alexander Qin.

This is simply a refreshing of their cognition.

However, aristocratic feudalism is like this, there is no chaos at the top, and there is no trouble at the bottom.

Aside from military possession, Xu Ding did not destroy the institutions and structures of Hatra.

It was as if a cloud was drifting in, and he didn't intend to destroy or interfere with it, and he didn't even promote his set of illuminati.

It wasn't until Meng Yu, Goubi, Soros and others arrived with a large army that Xu Ding was a lot easier.

The tense nerves of the riders also relaxed.

And the caliph and the nobles he represented were naturally more cooperative.

After all, someone's army of 20,000 has entered the city, and you are thinking about jumping too late.

The 20,000 troops that had been killed all the way, even if they were originally rabble, had become elite and energetic at this time.

In particular, the possession of an important fortress in the Sabbath was even more joyful.

Along the way, Xu Xiang was to attack the city that could be captured, and if he couldn't capture it, he would not fight, so he avoided attacking the fortification, so most of the time he was camping, and the hardships can be imagined.

Now there is finally a place for rest, and what is even more amazing is that Xu Ding only took more than 1,000 horses to take this city, which is said to have never been lost after the establishment of the country.

They all made promises to admire them even more.

"The Romans' pursuers are behind, and we are only half a day's way away, but fortunately you have taken the city of Hatra, otherwise we may really have to fight a field battle with them first." As soon as he entered the city, he said happily.

Xu Ding looked at the foot soldiers who came over in the dust, patted them one by one, and then asked, "Which unit is the closest that the Romans have chased?" ”
