In previous military reports, the king of Persia had heard several times about some of the powerful methods of the Han army. But he and most of the relatives around him have always thought that there is an element of exaggeration.

In his heart, he still insisted that the main reason for the defeat of these major battles was the unfamiliarity of the Persian army with the terrain of the Western Regions and the fact that the enemy was too light.

It is said that the Han army had a mysterious thing that could fly in mid-air, and they condescendingly threw powerful weapons that could cause explosions, causing huge casualties to the Persian army. Although the details of this are unknown, there is no doubt that it was one of the reasons for the defeat of the Persian army.

It was precisely because of this that the king of Persia chose the time of the decisive battle to be held at night. He believed that there were no miracles in this world! Even if the Han army really had weapons beyond the world's understanding, it would be difficult for them to play a big role in the case of night operations.

In fact, this prediction of the king of Persia is still very accurate. In the camp of the Han army, the "Royal Flying Column", which had established special meritorious services several times, had no choice but to stand by in the early stage of this campaign. Even if their commander Liu Xu jumped to his feet in a hurry, it would be to no avail. The stern order given to them by Yuan Zhao was to stay where they were, and no one was allowed to act rashly without his warrant!

Yuan Zhao's order, no one dared to disobey. These warriors who watched the battle on the nearby mountain peaks watched the battlefield within a radius of 100 miles in the explosion of fire and thunder, and the soldiers of the Han army, who were waiting in ambush in all directions in advance, had already sounded the horn of the charge. But they could only stare dryly.

The king of Persia never expected that the commander of the Han Dynasty, who knew everything about the actions of his base camp, had already made careful arrangements before his tiger and wolf army was launched. The trap has been dug, the retreat has been closed, and the trappers have been waiting quietly for a long time.

However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly after all, and even Yuan Zhao may not consider it foolproof. Somewhat contrary to his expectations, the king of Persia made a desperate bet, and all 200,000 troops were dispatched, and they came to supervise the battle in person! This was a bit different from what he had expected.

All the Han troops had been dispatched to withdraw from the camp, and Yuan Zhao, who had been ambushed in all directions, had already dispatched the Persian army when he heard the latest military news. He paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile again.

"The king of Persia came in person, and this army of tigers and wolves took the momentum of breaking through the cauldron...... Yuanhou, is there some trouble? ”

Looking at the clouds of the Supreme Commander under the moonlight, the wind was light, but the people around him were very nervous. This battle is not trivial, and it is definitely not child's play. In particular, the envoys of Chang'an, who refused to retreat to the safety of Dunhuang City and insisted on following Yuan Zhao's side, wanted to witness the entire process of this battle with their own eyes from beginning to end. However, in the face of such a big war, there is some uneasiness after all.

It was Xiao Wangzhi who finally couldn't help but speak just now. He was a doctor of literature and was not good at military warfare. But looking at the black crowd sweeping the world, he and the others glanced at each other, and had doubts about whether the Han army could truly achieve victory.

"Although the Persian army seems to be outnumbered and imposing, it is only the last of the powerful crossbows! These hungry fellows were seduced by the king of Persia and were caught in the trap to fight for their lives. If all goes well, they will naturally become more and more courageous, and it will be difficult to fight against them. But once you encounter a setback, I am afraid that you will immediately lose your will to fight. Now that everything has been arranged...... I'm sure we'll see you soon! ”

It was Sima Xiangru who answered for Yuan Zhao in a firm tone. He was an all-round civil and military talent, and he had single-handedly quelled the rebellion in the southwest, so his strategic vision was naturally extraordinary. Although he came to the Han army camp for a short time, after understanding Yuan Zhao's combat deployment, he immediately understood the mystery of this.

Yuan Zhao smiled and nodded appreciatively. With Sima Changqing's talent, even if he is a general, it is more than enough. If it weren't for the fact that he treated Zhuo Wenjun like his own sister, considering that they were not far apart, he would very much like Sima Xiangru to show more talent in military affairs.

"What Brother Changqing said is extremely true. Hehe, you can see it clearly here, you just wait and see. As for the victory or defeat, it has long been predestined, so there is no need to worry about it! Since the Persian army has poured out, it will not save a lot of trouble when it is done in one battle."

When the fire broke out, the greatest forerunner of this era with the sky above his head and his feet on the Qilian Mountains, under the hunting and hunting dragon flag, became a bamboo in his chest, swallowing the world.

So, on the night of the ensuing battle until dawn, all the people who came from Chang'an, as well as some of the businessmen who had long wanted to come to watch the battle with their own eyes, followed behind Yuan Zhao and condescendingly watched this magnificent and generous battle of great powers.

And compared to the optimism of the Han commanders, the mood of the king of Persia was now extremely bad. He never imagined that when the Han Dynasty army really showed its strength, it would be so terrifying.

This man, known as the King of Kings, finally witnessed the powerful methods of those legendary Han armies. The role of black fire oil has actually been initially understood in the Western continent, because of the promotion of those prophets, they have also been used in warfare. However, because it is bulky and difficult to transport, the value of use is extremely limited. In the eyes of the Persian generals, where can these things be compared to the killing of iron hoofs, bows and arrows, and scimitars! It is precisely for this reason that the black fire oil resources that can be found everywhere on the western continent have not been fully utilized.

And tonight, when the king of Persia truly saw the terrible power of black oil, he finally understood how stupid he and his generals and warriors had always been. Because of their ignorance, there was a whole era difference with the combat capability of the Han Empire. This huge gap is no longer able to be bridged, and they will pay a heavy price for it, and they will lose and have no chance!

There are some gaps in the world that cannot be leveled by bravery and not being afraid of death. Therefore, victory beyond imagination and defeat beyond imagination, two completely opposite extremes, are staged on this battlefield at the same time.

It was the Persians who suffered an unprecedented defeat. The main passages in the Han army camp were covered with "fuel bombs". When the leather sacs in the bodies of those scarecrow soldiers were pierced and cracked by the Persian warriors, the flowing black fire oil was ignited by the lantern that fell to the ground, and once the raging fire was burned, it immediately detonated the dense "fuel bomb", and then, this camp covering dozens of miles became a purgatory on earth in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, the Han army was very well arranged. In the area leading to Dunhuang from the rear of the camp, the nearby area of two or three miles is densely covered with barbed wire and thistles. Not to mention that the war horses and cavalry want to rush over, even the real tiger and lion can only become trapped beasts in the face of such a deadly obstacle.

Soon, the entire Han army camp was burning, as long as the horses and people who rushed in, they didn't want to come out alive. Thick smoke billowed and flames soared, and together with the loud sound of explosions one after another, in the boundless darkness, only the miserable wails and cries that drowned in it could be heard, and the occasional figure of struggle was soon collapsed to the ground, burning with the grass, trees, sand and stones.

The king of Persia, who realized that his advance was hopeless, could no longer care about the cavalry warriors who were in the place of death. The strong man broke his wrist, and the belief in survival in death immediately prevailed. The golden war knife was unsheathed, and the king's order was passed down sharply. Ask the rest of the men to start retreating, and after returning to the base camp first, then make plans.

However, most of them are destined to have no going back. Jin agitated the ground, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Half of the sky was as bright as day under the fire. From all the directions that could be regarded as a retreat, the cavalry of the Han army, which had been waiting for a long time, finally appeared.

The cavalry brigade that blocked the Persians' retreat in the main direction due west showed off its might, its fiery red robes, and its banner was flying. It was the Red Fire Army, one of the four ace armies of the Han Empire. Today, they finally waited for the opportunity to avenge the Battle of Jiuquan!

The road due north was blocked by the Wyvern Army. This heroic cavalry unit that was born and shined in this western expedition will not be willing to be ranked behind the Red Fire Army in the future. Li Ling, a rising star, has already held back enough energy to behead the king of Persia under the horse and make this world-famous feat.

The other Han armies, divided into multiple routes and surrounded on all sides, had firmly blocked the Persian army that had left the Wuwei base camp within this hundred miles. The order passed down by Yuan Zhao before the Great War is very clear, this is the burial place of 200,000 Persian troops, and the soldiers of the Han army need to fight bravely to kill the enemy for the country!

In such a situation, don't say that the king of Persia is just a mortal, even if he really has supernatural powers, it will not help. The most elite army of the 130,000 Han Empire is equipped with the sharpest weapons of this era. When they pounced on them from all directions with the momentum of killing everything, the Persian warriors who were once fierce became lambs to the slaughter. The ending is destined to be tragic.

Suddenly it began to rain in the gray mid-air that had been burned by the fire, but it was not the long-lost rain, but the rain of arrows! The first round of crossbow arrows, which came from all directions, dealt a fatal blow to the densely packed Persian army. Countless people fell off their horses and died, and countless people struggled and wailed. Then came the second round, the third round...... Immediately afterwards, the huge iron hooves came towards him, and the heavily armed Han Dynasty cavalry bent down, and the bright sword light began to reap life mercilessly.

In front of the Han army's camp, the battle on the main battlefield, or massacre, lasted for most of the night. When the sky was faintly bright, the king of Persia, who was desperately protected by tens of thousands of dead horsemen, finally broke out of the siege and fled westward in embarrassment.

Behind him, the fire was not extinguished, and the chasing soldiers were like a tide.
