In the world, some people cry and some laugh, and some people are excited and some people are depressed. Unlike the sharpness of the soldiers of the Han army, the Persian base camp, which is dozens of miles away, is now full of people and panic.

Even these fierce warriors, who had sworn their lives to the king of Persia, were no different from ordinary people when they realized that they were in a desperate situation. In comparison, dying a heroic fight on the battlefield will not make people feel afraid. But like now, it is terrible that the entire base camp of the Crusade Corps has begun to fight for food because of hunger.

It's one thing to be loyal to His Majesty the King of Persia, but it's another thing to be able to fill your stomach. In these decades of foreign expansion wars, the warriors of the Persian Empire had never encountered such a situation.

There have been many small-scale cannibalism taking place in the shadows. Sometimes it's just a struggle for a small amount of ration or a camel. Unfortunately, the thousands of desert camels that were trained to accompany the expedition did not play their part in the far east, and that the fate that awaited them would inevitably become food for their masters.

Most of the strong, powerful Persian warriors were not vegetarians. They need to eat meat to sustain their body's needs. Now that the entire Western Regions are clear of their walls, it is already a luxury to want to eat beef and mutton. Even those wolves, insects, tigers, leopards and other animals were disturbed by several fierce battles and fled to other places. Under such circumstances, it is extremely rare to hunt a rabbit for a tooth sacrifice. As a last resort, the sharp scimitar can only be used to kill camels and eat meat.

Some Persian warriors were very reluctant to do so. But many more did not hesitate to put one camel after another on the ground, skinned and deboned, and soon cut off the flesh on their bodies. I can't help it! If you don't kill camels, you can only kill war horses, which will be even more desperate.

Once something like this has begun, it's hard to stop it. The generals and the nobles of the royal court, though they knew that this was tantamount to digging their own graves. But they can't help it. Perhaps this chaos is unknown to only the king of Persia himself in the entire base camp. Because his temper has become extremely irritable lately, no one dares to report these bad things to him easily.

Today, the Eastern Expeditionary Army has fought all the way here, and there is no way to turn back. With the defeat of the two major battles of Yumen Pass and Liushakou, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Corps has lost all its strength. From top to bottom, they never imagined that they would encounter unprecedented setbacks when they came here on an expedition of thousands of miles.

The strength of the army of the Han Empire was far beyond the imagination of the Persians. However, in just a few months, more than 200,000 of the most elite Persian troops were wiped out. In this land with a radius of several hundred kilometers, there are piles of dry bones under the yellow sand, and the whistling west wind is ...... miserable.

All the places that were trampled by the Persian army were so bad because of their brutality. Scimitar direction, vertical and horizontal killing. Burning, killing, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil. And it was in this way that the Persians were able to achieve their unlimited expansion on the Western continent.

Today, however, they meet opponents who are in some ways more tyrannical and terrible than they are. The Persians truly saw that an army far superior to theirs, and if combined with iron-blooded ruthlessness, the deterrent power it brought to their opponents was unparalleled in every respect.

At the time of the Battle of Yumen Pass, although the Persians suffered a crushing defeat, they did not really feel this suffocating sense of oppression because they still had an absolute advantage in relative terms. The Battle of Liushakou, which took place not long ago, was very different.

In the Battle of Liushakou, nearly 150,000 elite troops of the empire were completely wiped out less than 100 miles away from the base camp. All the men who can fight are buried there. After their defeat, they were subjected to indiscriminate slaughter by the Han army.

In fact, it cannot be said that so many people all died in the quicksand. After the battle, nearly 10,000 wounded warriors returned to the Persian base camp. Obviously, these Persian warriors, who had permanently lost their combat effectiveness, were selected by the Han army and released.

No one thinks that this is the mercy of the commander of the Han army! The tragic fate that awaited these seriously wounded Persians was better than that they would have died in the fierce battle at that time.

After the generals of the base camp learned about the whole process before and after the Battle of Liushakou, they immediately received an order from the King of Persia himself, and all the wounded warriors who came back were killed!

This is undoubtedly a very cruel order. But the generals did not hesitate to carry it out, although many of those men were former brave warriors. However, for the sake of the big picture, it had to be so. These people's injuries are difficult to treat and food is wasted. Keeping them will not do any good at all, except for shaking the morale of the army. And this is precisely the viciousness of the Han army.

More than 10,000 seriously injured samurai were killed, although it was something that had to be done. Everyone understands the truth, but the serious damage caused to the morale of the entire base camp is irreparable. Slaughtered cattle and sheep will still cry out to their companions, let alone people!

"Yuan Zhao...... What kind of opponent is this? If I had the chance, I would love to meet him in person...... I want to cut off his head with my own hands! Hum! ”

In the base camp of Wuwei County, the king of Persia snorted coldly at all the noble royal families and generals who were silent. The great king, who was among all the Persians, was not content to be defeated. He had always believed that when he himself rode on horseback and led the samurai to charge, no enemy would be able to stop him.

No one dared to come forward and answer easily. But it is not possible to fail to answer the question of the king of Persia, otherwise it is likely that all of them will suffer. After a little silence, some of the closest royal nobles looked at his face cautiously and said.

"Great King, Yuan Zhao is only a general of the Han army, how can he be worthy of talking to you? The temporary defeat of our samurai was caused by unfamiliarity with the terrain and contempt for the enemy. As long as the generals learn a lesson, I believe that in the next big war, they will definitely inflict heavy losses on the Han army and completely turn the tide of the war! ”

More than a dozen Persian generals bowed their heads below, but no one dared to echo them. Everyone knows very well in their hearts that the actual situation is not so simple at all. The Han army fought more than they imagined, and none of them had a way to deal with it. How can this battle be fought?

The king of Persia, like many arrogant kings of the world, liked nothing more than flattery at such times. He nodded satisfactorily at the answer of this royal nobleman, and finally a smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and motioned for the attendants to give each of them a glass of wine as a gesture of favor.

Even if the supply was already so difficult, all the pleasures of the Persian king could not be missing. This is his privilege as a king, and it is a symbol of honor. The generals really wanted their king to give him a piece of meat, but in the end they endured the hunger in their stomachs and drank this wine that they didn't know what it tasted like.

"Haven't you waited for the news of the grain and grass in the rear passage?"

As if having guessed the minds of many people, the king of Persia frowned and asked again. Even if he was a samurai who died a lot, he didn't think he would fail. Although the Wuwei base camp is stagnant, the soldiers on the north and south roads, the grassland and the sea, are also composed of elite warriors of the empire. He didn't believe that the Han Dynasty still had commanders as powerful as Yuan Zhao. As long as those two directions open up the situation, the difficulties on this side can naturally be solved. The only thing I am worried about now is the supply of the base camp.

"Great King, these people from the Western Regions are too hateful! To the west of Jiuquan County, in the places we have conquered, the royal families of the Western Regions countries have united, and they have formed an army to slaughter several countries that are subject to us, such as Dashi. Then, relying on the dangerous terrain, the passage to the west was blocked. It has been a long time since the base camp has received news from the Western Continent....... ”

The tone of the respondent was somewhat heavy. Knowing that such a statement might cause the Persian king to be displeased, the situation was already dire and they had to side-knock the moody king to understand this.

"It's still too little to kill! As I told you, the only way for a conqueror to maintain absolute deterrence is to use more blood and bones...... Immediately dispatch cavalry and let them raid these people from the Western Regions, kill all their people, and rob them of everything! Your samurai don't even have the strength to kill, do they?"

The king of Persia again gave a stern order. The generals looked at each other, and someone whispered worriedly.

"But...... The king, now the Han army on the opposite side is eyeing the enemy, and may launch an attack on the base camp at any time. At such a time, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to divide the troops to fight! ”

"Bastard! When did you become so timid? The cavalry of the Han army dared to attack the base camp, it was self-defeating! There is a large camel formation outside Wuwei City, which stretches for several miles, and it is impregnable, and our cavalry can attack at any time...... Needless to say, let's do it now! ”

Listening to the confident tone of the King of Persia, some people wanted to blurt out the truth, those camels that could fight in formations had been almost eaten by the hungry warriors! But after all, I was scared, and I swallowed the words in unison.

That night, the Persian cavalry dispatched 50,000 and went west along the line of Zhangye and Jiuquan to kill. They will once again wash the Western Regions with blood, and pour out their monstrous anger on the heads of these nations.

An hour later, the movement of the Persian base camp was reported to Yuan Zhao. The Han army battalion gathered overnight and began to deploy operational matters.

Under the cold moonlight, the final battle is about to start!
