Ardashir did not want to sit idly by, so he ordered the general Sebins to go out of the city to attack the Han army. Thanks to Sabins's extra heart, he shrank at the back of the line, and the 50,000 Persian troops who left the city left more than half of their corpses and ran into the city in disgrace. Ardashir saw that his best general had also suffered defeat, and never said anything about leaving the city again.

Ardashir and his men had summed up a set of mature experiences in dealing with the Han army's siege. On the tall city wall, at intervals, thick planks were erected, covered with soaked quilts, close to the side of the city wall, supported by thick wooden sticks, and the soldiers at the head of the city hid behind the planks once they found out that the Han army was attacking the city with stone-throwing carts.

Once this method was used, it effectively protected the soldiers at the head of the city, and although the wooden planks smashed by the boulders "banged", they could not do anything about it. Although the oil burned violently, it was covered with sand, and the flames were quickly extinguished.

After three days of continuous smashing, the Han army could not capture the city, and Liu Ze couldn't help frowning. The once unfavorable siege method, should it be broken under the closure of Tessie? Finding Liu Ye to discuss, it was also at a loss.

Liu Ze put movies in his mind to recall the classic siege clips he saw on films and television in his later life, and there were various techniques, but they were not suitable for the current situation.

Liu Ye stared at the map and said, "Your Majesty, if you intercept the river and flood Tai Xifeng, will it work?" ”

Liu Ze said: "Taixi closed the city in the north and low in the south, and the big water rushed in, so it couldn't stay, which only increased the difficulty of our army's siege." ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "Also, Taixi sealed the city in a vast area, and it was not a day's work to build a dam to hold back the water. What happens if a fire breaks out in the city? ”

"Fire." Liu Ze muttered, "It's just how to go into the city and set fires?" Flying Army? There was no high ground around Ctesiphon, and the flying army could not take advantage of it. ”

Liu Ye said: "What if the flying army attacks from the tall tower on a windy night? ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "I have to ask General Zhang Yan about this matter." ”

Zhang Yan's answer made Liu Ze and Liu Ye annoyed. Ctesiphon is so big, if the terrain of the flying army is too low, the momentum cannot fly far, once the fire is lit, the Persians will soon be able to discover the traces of the flying army, and then a thousand flying troops may not return.

Liu Ze remembered the way to dig the tunnel, Liu Ye shook his head, the moat of Taixifeng is three zhang deep, how deep does the tunnel have to be dug to avoid the moat? With the current level of the Han army, it will definitely not be able to do it. Besides, Ctesiphon is located at the confluence of the Tigris and Diarra rivers, and the water table is so high that it comes out before it reaches a foot.

After discussing it, Liu Ze walked out of the camp angrily and strolled in the sunset to relax. The red and round sunset, radiating the last bit of afterglow, the colorful glow hangs all over the western sky, constantly changing colors, and the end drops are pleasing to the eye. Flocks of birds return to their nests and sing cheerful songs.

Liu Ze watched the birds flapping their wings blankly, and flew to the city of Taixi in groups, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, and shouted loudly: "There is." Xu Chu, quickly send someone to summon the generals to come. ”

Liu Ze suppressed his happy mood and said loudly to the generals: "Early tomorrow morning, leave a part of the soldiers to guard the enemy army in the city, and all the rest of the horses and horses will all spread their nets to catch birds. Remember, it must be a bird that flew out of the city of Ctesiphon, and all of them must be alive without the slightest damage. ”

Liu Ye was confused, what does the emperor mean by this? Is the whole army catching birds and playing? Not only Liu Ye was confused, but these generals stared at each other with big eyes, and it was Zhang Er King Kong - confused.

Zhang Fei couldn't hold his breath and asked loudly: "Your Majesty, this great enemy is at present, let the soldiers catch birds, won't the Persians laugh at it?" ”

Liu Ze laughed, and when the laughing group of people were stunned, he said a paragraph. Everyone applauded and hurriedly went back to arrange.

The next day, before dawn, good fellows, hundreds of thousands of people set up tall wooden sticks outside the city of Tessifun, and large nets were spread out on the wooden sticks, and countless bird cages were placed on the ground, in which they were full of food and drink.

The Persians were bewildered by the unusual behavior of the Han army at the head of the city, and quickly reported it to Ardashir. Ardashir said to the group, "What the hell is the hateful Han army doing? Do they want to attack the city with birds? ”

Ardashir's clan brother Mu Mianjiasha laughed and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, is it that the Han army has been on the expedition for too long, and the birds under his crotch are not enjoyable, and he wants to get a few real birds to play with." ”

As soon as Mumian Jiasha spoke, the ministers of Persia all laughed. Prime Minister Obros said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, is it that the grain and grass of the Han army are light and tasteless, and get some birds to satisfy your hunger?" ”

Ardashir looked sadly at these subordinates who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, what time was it, and they were still in the mood to joke, the Han army must have their deep meaning in catching birds, but they couldn't guess it for a while. Looking at the smiling subordinates, Ardashir snorted with a cold face, and immediately became silent.

"You stupid pig-like existence, the Han army hunts birds, you definitely want to be unfavorable to us, what will you do besides laughing at the Han army? Let me use my head to think about the next move of the Han army. ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Han people have a non-sincere and moving story, called Hongyan Chuanshu, which is about the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a minister named Su Wu, when he was an envoy to the Xiongnu, he was detained by the Huns, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu sent Su Wu to their extreme north, a place called Beihai to shepherd sheep."

Ardashir saw that it was Yadel, the deputy prime minister who was known for his erudition, who had always liked to show off his talents, and at this time, he told the story, and said impatiently: "My deputy prime minister, don't tell the story, you can talk about the subject." ”

Yadel was choked by the emperor, so he had to say: "Your Majesty the Emperor, according to my thoughts, the Han army caught birds and birds, did they want to send any message to the city. ”

Obros said: "The city of Ctesiphon is full of us Persians, to whom will the Han army deliver the message?" ”

Yadel glanced at the prime minister who was pressing on his head, and said slowly: "Don't you know that Vologis VI also sent an army to assist the Han army in attacking our great Tessie Blockade?" ”

Obros said in his heart, if you continue to breathe, suffocate you old boy.

When Ardashir heard this, although this Yadar was a little pedantic, what he said was to the point, the Persians in the city were not familiar with the Han army, but there were definitely not a few people who had contact with Vologis VI, and frowned and said: "Mu Mianjiasha listens to the order. Command you to lead 3,000 elites, strictly investigate all those who have contact with Vologis, and if you are caught, you will be killed. ”

Mu Mianjiasha is most willing to do this kind of work, this is a big fortune business, after hearing Ardashir's words, he immediately came to his senses, and said loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. I will definitely find out all the spies and let His Majesty command the Han army with peace of mind. ”
