Chapter 252: Fierce Battle

After Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, LΓΌ Qian, and Le Jin entered the Iranian plateau, they raided the plateau city of Chitra. After Tra was captured, LΓΌ Qian led his troops to stay behind, and Cao Ren and the other three divided their troops all the way to attack the towns along the way, and came to Pasagadi, a small city north of Persepolis. After Wen Ping and others captured Talmena, they marched all the way west, and attacked Persepolis, a large city in the Persian region, from the east.

Ecbatana, as the gateway to Ctesiphon, the Persian capital, is bordered by the Zagros Mountains to the south, and the Diyala River flows through the Zagros Mountains to the west, which is echoed by Behistown, the important town in the north of Ctesiphon.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xiahoudun saw that the Persians in Ekbatana City went out of the city to take the initiative to attack, and ordered the general to lead some of the soldiers to continue to camp.

The Persian general's name is Lenzi, the confidant of the lord of Ekbatana, Daoyar, who was born with infinite strength, and has a pair of sledgehammers in his hand, weighing more than 120 catties, and is rarely met by opponents in the army. Dao Yaer saw that the Han army was running for a long time, and the soldiers must be exhausted, so he thought of such a clever plan, so he ordered Erlenzi to come out and lead 50,000 cavalry to raid the Han army, ready to take him by surprise.

None of the three of Guan Yu is a veteran of soldiers, the army has not yet gained a stable foothold, and the scouts have already been scattered, and every move of Ekbatana City cannot escape their eyes.

And Lenz led the cavalry to rush to the front of the Han army, and when he saw the Han army waiting in formation, he was slightly stunned, remembered what Daoyaer said, commanded the men and horses, and crashed into it. The distance was getting closer and closer, a thousand paces, eight hundred steps, five hundred steps, and they were about to engage the enemy, and Lenz was excited, and a pair of sledgehammers were raised high, making a wolf-like sound to boost morale. Just when there were still three hundred steps away from the enemy, the Han army's formation did not move, and Lingzi was overjoyed, could it be that the Han army was tired and stupid?

At this moment, in the loosely arranged Han army array, Hulala launched hundreds of bed crossbows, and as soon as Pu Yi put it down, the iron arrows on it slammed straight at the Persian cavalry with a sharp whistling. At the same time, the Han army on horseback leveled the crossbow, and constantly pulled the trigger at the roaring enemy, and the arrows rained down, covering the sky and the sun, and flew away.

And Lenz was not a loser, seeing countless arrows rushing towards him, a pair of sledgehammers danced impenetrably, and even the thick iron arrows shot by the bed crossbow were knocked away by him. And there are not a few people in Persia who have such a skill, and the soldiers behind him are not so lucky. The huge impact force of the bed crossbow is that even the heavy soldiers will be pierced through the heart, not to mention these densely arranged light cavalry? The crossbow was fired at such a fast speed that the Persians could only raise their shields to protect the vital points, and even if they had a longbow hanging on their backs, they did not have time to take them out and shoot at the Han army.

Guan Yu saw that Lingzi was extremely powerful, and he didn't feel itchy hands, but when he went out at this time, he would definitely make the soldiers around him scruples, and the arrows would vacate an area, which would be detrimental to the enemy's killing. Guan Yu's sword skills have reached the peak at this time, and the force value has increased much compared to when he was young. It's just that when I saw the fierce appearance of Lenz, I could only watch him perform alone, which was really like a hundred cats scratching my heart.

And Lengzi did not disappoint Guan Yu for a long time, he broke through the rain of arrows alone, and came to the front of the Han army, Guan Yu was overjoyed, and the soldiers of Lengzi quickly dispersed, leaving a clearing.

Zhang Fei and Xiahoudun saw that the Persian soldiers were not afraid of death, and the distance between them and their own army formation was getting closer and closer, it was less than two hundred meters, although countless corpses had fallen in front, the Persian soldiers in the rear still stepped on the corpses of their robes and advanced bravely. The two glanced at each other, and Zhang Fei shouted violently, like a thunderclap on the ground, "Sons, roll out the iron pulley." ”

Thousands of foot soldiers suddenly poured out of the rear of the Han army, each pushing an iron cart, the front end of the cart was covered with long iron thorns, and under the sun, it shone with a terrifying cold light. As the foot soldiers ran, the speed of the iron chariot became faster and faster, and seeing that it was less than twenty meters away from the Persian cavalry, they let go together and quickly ran back to their own position. The iron pulley, under the residual force of inertia, rolled into the Persian cavalry formation. Thousands of iron carriages, densely arranged, the war horses can fall into bad luck, touching the sharp iron thorns, one by one tendons broken and fractured, the war horses let out a burst of sorrow, throwing out the soldiers on horseback in the air.

And Lingzi saw a red-faced man rushing towards him, and smashed the hammer in his right hand at Guan Yu, Guan Yu's arms screamed, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife slammed up, only to hear a loud noise, the weapons intersected, and both of them felt soreness in their arms, one thought that this person had a lot of strength, and the other said that this guy had good skills.

And Lingzi saw that Guan Yu could block his fierce blow, and the sledgehammer in his left hand smashed towards Guan Yu again. Guan Yu had the heart to test his strength, the glaive knife was deflected, and the knife face met it, this time the collision sound was louder than the last time, and the Han soldiers who shook Zhou Zhou covered their ears one after another.

Guan Yu blocked and Lengzi hit and shouted: "You also take a knife from me." "The arms are rounded, and the glaive knife slashes at the edge with the sound of the wind.

The attack of the iron pulley was a setback for the Persian cavalry. Zhang Fei and Xiahoudun seized the opportunity, shouted, and led their troops to kill. The Persian cavalry suffered a series of blows, all supported by a morale, the Han army dispatched, and the throwing spears flew over again, the throwing guns were heavy, too arrows, and they were projected on the charging horses, the strength was great, and the Persian cavalry in front of them wailed, and the combat power was completely lost.

With the charge of the Han cavalry, the throwing guns spread, and the momentum brought out by more than 100,000 throwing guns is afraid that the timid will be scared to death. The Persian soldiers held their shields in a panic, and kept muttering to the god of light to save me, hoping that their lives would be great, and that they would not lose their lives in vain before they even looked at the enemy's face.

And Lingzi heard the sound of the wind and knew that Guan Yu's knife was strong and heavy, and he didn't dare to underestimate it, so he raised the double hammer and blocked it. The glaive slashed down with ten thousand powers, and Lenz only felt that his arms were struck by lightning, and his chest was bored, and he opened his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of blood. Guan Yu withdrew the big knife and handed it to his left hand, his right hand gently stroked the long hair under his chin, Danfeng's eyes were slightly open, and he stared at it.

Looking at Guan Yushen's majestic appearance, he couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority in his heart, shook his sour arms, and appeased the war horse that was in danger of kneeling. How could it be that the big hammer at this moment seemed to weigh 10,000 catties, and Lingzi gritted his teeth, sank into the dantian, and the hammer was raised.

Guan Yu crossed the broadsword with one arm, and the tip of the glaive knife slammed lightly on a pair of hammers from Lenz, but Lengzi couldn't hold it, and the hammer slammed and fell to the ground. Guan Yu shouted: "Tie up." ”

The soldiers around him swarmed up, pushed Lenzi off the horse, and tied up the flowers.

When Guan Yu looked up, Zhang Fei and Xiahoudun had already gone deep into the enemy formation, stretched out their right arms, grabbed and Lengzi, galloped out, came to the Persian formation, and shouted: "You wait for the Lord to be captured, and you still don't surrender?" ”

The soldiers around him shouted in the newly learned Persian dialect: "Surrender or kill!" ”

The Persian soldiers saw that their god of war generally existed and General Lingzi was captured, and their morale was low, not to mention that the tactics of the Han army were really difficult for them to accept, the Persians suffered countless casualties, and the ground was full of the corpses of their own people, on the other hand, the Han army, a group of three or five people, combined with attack and defense, and there were very few wounded. The Persians were devastated, and with the exception of some fierce ones, they were still resisting, and most of the soldiers threw down their weapons, jumped off their horses, and raised their hands.

A great war lasted less than two hours before it came to an end. The fleeing defeated men ran back to Ecbatana and told Inajar about the battle. Daoyar gasped, and all the Persian elites led by Lingzi were easily defeated by the Han army. As the prince, Ardashir gave him 200,000 troops, and after this battle, he lost 50,000, how to fight this battle?

And Lenz is majestic, and he is extremely conceited, and he ended up like this in less than three combinations, and he couldn't help but be disheartened. Guan Yu took pity on Lingzi and was extremely powerful, so he asked the interpreter to persuade Lingzi to surrender.

And Lingzi asked the interpreter, what is the name of the general of the Han army who captured him? The interpreter said: "In our Han Dynasty, he is very famous, and this general's name is Guan Yu, and his words are long. ”

And Lenz then asked: "With his skills, he can rank first in the Han Kingdom?" ”

The interpreter smiled: "Our Great Han Kingdom is like a general, and there are many of them. If you talk about rankings, it's hard to say. Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian are extremely powerful, and have always been known as the first fierce general of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, Zhou Tai, Zhou Youping, Gan Ning, Gan Xingba, forget it, these people's skills are not under General Guan Yu. ”

And the boss of Lengzi's mouth, this interpreter casually said the names of so many people, it can be seen that the Han Kingdom is really a fierce general, and in Persia, such as the number of Lengzi people are counted, how can such a battle be fought?

Seeing that Lingzi was silent, the interpreter continued: "General Guan Yu saw that Your Excellency was brave, and he fell in love with talent. Ardashir, the king of your kings, plundered the local people, and Vologis VI had already taken possession of the western regions of Persia, and saw that his army was about to reach the city of Ctesiphon. The Sassanid Empire is already the setting sun, do you still have to die for them? ”

And Lingzi said: "You Han people support young and strong, and you are not good people who come to our country to plunder wantonly. ”

Interpreting Yiqiong, he laughed and said, "And General Lengzi, you don't know, right?" Those young and strong people are from Guishan, Tianzhu, Dawan, Kangju and other countries, and they did evil in the country, and they were expelled by our Han army, so they came to your Persian country. When the war is over and Ardashir is defeated, the Han army will pack up the young and strong and keep them away from your country. ”

And Lenz asked, "What you said is true. ”

The interpreter said: "Of course it is true, if you have the opportunity to go to Guishan to have a look, the people of Guishan have land, every household has a house, live and work in peace and contentment, and are extremely happy." You are a Persian, don't you want the Persian people to live happily like this? ”
