Besides, he can't get these Kintalon right now. He does not have the right to negotiate on behalf of the Kingdom of Macedonia, to sign agreements or anything, he cannot be the master alone, he cannot bear this responsibility. The most important thing is that he only has half a month to complete the task from the starting date of receiving the message.

He replied to the messenger in person:

"That's very good. But within three days, you must withdraw some of your army out of the city. ”

"I can call the shots on this, so I decided. The general should not push Sek again, we both have a leeway. ”

"Good!"

Zoe Rose verbally agreed, but felt strange in his heart. agreed to withdraw the troops so readily, I am afraid that there is fraud in it. But he wanted to see what the Parthians were up to. He ordered the whole army to be stationed on the spot for three days, and sent a reconnaissance force to spy on the city and the port.

When the scouts arrived at the predetermined location, they saw that there was no movement in the town for one day and no movement for two days. On the morning of the third day, the gates of the city opened, and out of the city appeared a group of men and horses, dressed in military uniforms, but looking weak, and with a large and scattered luggage, and did not know what to pack.

Later, the sentinels who observed the harbor saw that there were female Parthian soldiers on board, could it be that there was a custom of female soldiers in Parthia?

Puzzled, they promptly informed the general of what they had seen.

In fact, all the young women who withdrew from the city were the families of the soldiers. And Darius Hamadan, the Seker guard, was in the middle of the crowd. They would evacuate Sek by boat and return to Asakia, the Parthian capital. Darius eventually decided to keep some of Sek's inhabitants, the warriors' wives, children, and families, and, of course, his own lives. He wanted to avenge the soldiers after he lived.

The soldiers who stayed behind were called defending the homeland, but in fact their lives could not be saved.

The Parthians were not vain, and the Seke defenders refused to evacuate and held on to the town to fight to the last soldier. So what Darius could do for the soldiers was to solve their worries. In addition, help them delay for a few days and gather a small number of reinforcements from the nearest area.

When Zoe Rose heard the news, he knew that this was strange, and he immediately ordered the whole army to march quickly towards Seke. On the way, he received another report that the "army" from the city had indeed left by boat, but that a number of archers had arrived from the surrounding area and were rushing to the city.

Zoey Ross knew in his heart that this was Darius Hamadan's delaying tactic, and he was buying time to mobilize reinforcements. The evacuation of the city must have been the logistics personnel such as women and children, and it seemed that the Seke defenders were desperately defending the city.

Zoir Ross was not worried, and with the barren wilderness of Secker, Hamadan could not muster an army that could compete with his strengthened Tyris's legion, no matter what he was capable of. He had already known the situation in advance, it was sparsely populated and the population was limited, and the Parthians had no other aid than to transport troops from the mainland. It's not a matter of if, it's just a matter of time.

The Macedonian army came outside the city of Seker, and the gates were closed. The wooden walls were equipped with arrow towers, and the defenders were already lined up inside the city, as if they were about to launch a breakout battle. Zoey Rose ordered to approach the city gates, and first gave way to the archers to fire arrows into the city. The defenders were scattered in their positions, and several rounds of strikes had no noticeable effect. The army in the city suddenly waved its flags and was crowded, only to see the gates of the three sides open at the same time, and the Parthian archers galloped out.

Seeing this, Zoir Ross immediately gathered the Macedonian light cavalry, divided into two groups on the left and right, facing the gate in front of him. When the archers in front of the enemy were halfway out of the city, Zoey Ross decisively ordered an attack. The two groups of cavalry on the left and right suddenly rushed towards the enemy like a river bursting its banks. The Parthian archers were so disorganized that they crowded the doorway, and they didn't have time to shoot a second arrow. The Macedonian light cavalry had rushed up and stabbed the enemy with great slashing.

As expected by Oonos, Parthia's archers had little melee ability, each armed with a short dagger and no armor.

At this time, the archers in the city were still pouring out, and the slaughter outside could not return to the city, and they were in a dilemma.

The Parthian lieutenant Vravati saw that there was a confrontation and knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly rushed from the side door.

After all, the archers approaching on both sides were only a small number, and they were very discouraged to see that the main force was almost wiped out. Just stand at a distance and throw arrows this way.

The Macedonian archers hurried up and shot the archers on either side. At this time, Macedonian hired cavalry archers came up, and these archers from Scythia shot arrows as they advanced, and the arrows did not miss. The Parthian archers, who were not skilled in hand-to-hand combat, saw that the bows and arrows were fierce on this side, and they were frightened, so they retreated back to the city from both sides.

Vravati rushed with his guards, intent on dealing with the archers. Not wanting the Macedonian infantry to react quickly, the archers and phalanx changed from front to rear, and the pikemen protected the archers. Even more unexpected was the general guard in the east, and the cavalry of dozens of people rushed over and was unstoppable.

First they scattered on both sides, threw three rounds of heavy javelins, and then gathered and rushed directly into the phalanx of spears from the front.

With good armor, the infantry is scattered and slashed with swords and clubs.

This kind of iron rod is not an ordinary mallet, but the front is thick and thinner, and the iron rod is covered with iron thorns except for a few inches held by the handle. This is the weapon of the East, the mace. Just looking at it makes people feel uncomfortable, and I don't know how scary it is to take a hit.

The Oriental heavy cavalry all have superb martial arts, and they have the opportunity to throw javelins at close range, and they must hit the bid. They were fearless in the face of the pikemen, and almost broke the phalanx.

A phalanx next to it came to support, wrapping the cavalry in the middle from the rear and flanking from both sides. At this time, the enemy's heavy cavalry could not stand it, and several people were shot and fell off their horses.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Vravati ordered a breakthrough. His heavy cavalry marched forward at the same time, completely breaking through the phalanx that had stopped in front of them, and then retreated to the city. The Eastern infantry, which came out on his heel, came up at the right time to break the rear for their general. However, the eastern infantry was really bad, and in the face of the Macedonian infantry phalanx, it almost collapsed at the touch of a button, and fled in disarray.

At this time, the front gate was closed, along with a small number of archers outside the gate, and it was quickly eliminated.

Zoe Ross Mingjin collected his troops and ordered him to return to the camp to build siege engines, and once they were built, they immediately attacked the city.

The main force of the Parthian garrison has been lost for most of its time, and their city will surely be lost. Later, the Macedonian army attacked the city again, and the offensive was very rapid. The Parthian infantry was very weak in combat, the archers could not fight in close combat, and the general's heavy cavalry, no matter how powerful, was only a few dozen.

The Parthian soldiers defended the city resolutely, preferring to die rather than give in, and fought bravely until the last man fell. Vravati committed suicide with his sword drawn, and the city was about to fall, and he had done his duty.

Zoe Rose was shocked after the battle.

"It's a completely different feeling to fight against the heavy cavalry of the East. These people seem to have some powerful force of faith, and they completely forget about the concept of being human on the battlefield. ”

It seems that Parthia's defeat of Seleucus in Central Asia was justified. With these soldiers who are not afraid of death, they are simply outlaws.

The Macedonians had a preliminary understanding of the peculiarities of the Parthian army's operations. Their tactics are similar to those of Scythia. He knew how to preserve himself, although the Parthian archers did not play a role in this battle, but if they encountered such a large number of archers on the plain, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. These archers had no armor, sacrificing protection and increasing mobility.

The Scythian archers were brave in hand-to-hand combat, but only by brute force, and the Parthian archers paid more attention to retaining themselves.

In addition, the heavy cavalry of Parthia was too impressive. Such a small number of troops can make such a difference. Not only are they extremely capable of fighting, but they also fight as if they never knew about fear or death. I wonder if the Parthian ironclad cavalry will be more terrifying.

This is just a serious and objective consideration of the strength of both the enemy and the enemy, as General Zoe Ross, no matter how strong the enemy is, he will not be afraid.

In this way, Macedonia completely controlled the Caucasus and the northern shore of the Hecanian Sea, which formed a great deterrent to the East, and the situation was under control.
