Dian Wei jumped off the roof, and his own soldiers were about to put on his armor for him, turned over on his war horse, and shouted: "It is important to kill the enemy." "Swing the halberds, and like a mad tiger, you will enter the group of hoplites.

Dao Yaer's personal captain personally led the troops to find Dao Yaer, saw his own hoplites being pressed and beaten by the Han cavalry, roared, rushed over, just in time for Dian Wei, saw the head hanging on the waist of this ugly man, and didn't care, the knife was split, Dian Wei was killing up, raising the halberd to block, feeling the heaviness of the opponent's big knife, wide eyes and said: "Finally, there is a little ability." ”

The captain of the pro-soldier was casually put in Dian Wei's hand, felt a shock in his arm, looked at Dian Wei carefully, muttered a few words in his mouth, and the big knife slashed at Dian Wei again. Dian Wei's double halberd crossed and slammed into it, and the human head on his waist twisted with Dian Wei's body, swaying incessantly. Only then did the captain of the personal soldiers catch a glimpse of the man's head, his chest was like a hammer blow, the big knife was withdrawn, and he slashed at Dian Wei desperately.

Dian Wei saw the momentum of the captain of the pro-soldier surge, and shouted: "Grandma, you kid is not simple." The left halberd blocked, and the right halberd smashed against the empty door of the captain of the army.

The Han army controlled most of the city, Zhang Fei and others led troops to strangle the rebels, and Lu Bu led the army to see Dian Wei and a group of well-armed Persians fighting, and shouted loudly and killed them.

When Dian Wei saw Lu Bu coming, he was afraid that he would take the credit, so the double halberd sped up, and each move became more fierce than the other. The captain of the pro-soldier couldn't resist it, and turned his horse's head and was about to flee. When Lu Bu saw it, he casually drew a halberd on the ground and picked up a throwing spear and stabbed it at the captain of his own soldiers; Dian Wei's halberd had also flown out at this time, and the two weapons pierced into the back of the heart of the captain of Daoyaer's personal soldiers almost at the same time.

Dian Wei shouted: "Lu Fengxian, good means." ”

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Leader, you're not bad. ”

The Persian hoplites saw the arrival of the Han army's brigade and wanted to run, the heavy armor was on their bodies, how far could they run, and they resisted hard, the sabers of the Han army were too sharp, and the thick armor had been cut into pieces and scattered, like thorns emerging from the desert. The general of the hoplite was killed by Liu Xun at this moment and had no power to fight back, seeing that the brothers under his command were about to finish, why didn't the Han army shout: Those who surrender will not be killed?

As if telepathically connected with the hoplite generals, Lü Bu saw that the Persians were as tired as dead dogs, and ordered his subordinates to shout: "Those who surrender will not be killed." ”

The hoplite general was relieved, dodged Liu Xun's attack, threw his weapon, and collapsed to the ground.

Outside the west gate of Ecbatana, the Persian soldiers who were in a hurry, regardless of the loud shouts of the West Gate guards, did not form a formation, and ran away. The guards are helpless, the soldiers' courage is cold, and the morale no longer exists. Prince Daoyar's personal captain has been gone for so long, and he hasn't come back yet, it is estimated that there will be a lot of luck, what am I waiting for here, let's run. The guard of the West Gate called a few henchmen, packed up the goods he had accumulated on weekdays, took off his military uniform, changed into civilian clothes, and went out of the West Gate, not taking the avenue, and rushed in the direction of the Armenian region in the oblique spur.

Zhou Tai ambushed his men and horses on the main road leading to Zagros Mountain, and when he saw the routed troops running all over the mountains in the direction of Ekbatana, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle, why was the military discipline of the Persian army so corrupt? With such a soldier, how did he defeat Vologis VI and capture Persia?

Zhou Tai was not allowed to think about anything else, and the remnants of the Persian army were already running closer. Zhou Tai shouted: "Attack!" The Han army turned over and stepped on the war horse, and followed Zhou Tai to kill out.

The defeated Persian soldiers saw the Han army ambushing, and their hearts were cool and cool, don't bring such a play, we have been running for more than 30 miles, and we are tired and can't afford to fall to the ground, you are good, there are still people and horses in ambush here. What to do? Almost all the Persian soldiers saw the Han army and came up with this idea. beating, there is no strength in the body; Run, can two legs outrun a four-legged war horse?

Despair quickly hung over the Persian defeats, and they all said that the Han people were cunning, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. The Han army didn't care what the Persian soldiers thought, they pulled out their crossbows one by one and carried out point-to-point precision strikes, and the Persian soldiers fell to the ground with their arrows wailing. The soldiers in the rear saw the ferocity of the Han army, and one by one they imitated the ostrich, lowered their heads fiercely, and almost buried them in the yellow sand.

Zhou Tai couldn't help laughing when he saw that the Persian soldiers were so conscious, commanded the men and horses, gathered the Persian soldiers together, and watched them slowly towards the city of Ekbatana.

The Zagros Mountains, stretched northeast of Ctesiphon, stretched for thousands of miles. It was the presence of the Zagros Mountains that created the Civilization of the Two Rivers. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers are abundant in water and nourish the vast Great Plains of the Two Rivers, and the Babylonian region, with its thriving population and agriculture, is the heart of the Persian state, where the cities of Ctesiphon and Babylon are located.

Ecbatana, leading to Ctesiphon, could not be detoured, and successive Persian monarchs, using manpower, dug a road in the Zagros Mountains to connect the two cities. The city of Ecbatana was built in the north of the mountain, and on the southwest side of the mountain was the city of Behistown, which guarded the main road and greatly strengthened the defense of Ctesiphon.

After the Han army on the southern route broke through the cities of Pasagardi and Persepolis, they quickly advanced and besieged the city of Susa.

Guan Yu led an army of 100,000 people, carrying Persian captives, wrapped in Persian youth, and advanced to the northwest, preparing to bypass the Zagros Mountains, reach the upper reaches of the Tigris River, cross the river, and rush to Gaza City. Ma Chao and Deng Ai had already received Liu Ze's edict and waited for Guan Yu around Albil City.

Ma Chao and Deng Ai are really developed, each of them directly leads more than 100,000 young people, and remotely commands nearly 1 million young people, and they can be tossed vigorously in Persia. The Persians, who had a little money, became the focus of care, and they plundered the world's wealth and goods, and the camels and carts were full of loads, which greatly slowed down the speed of action.

Guan Yu came to the surroundings of Albil, Ma Chao and Deng Ai got the news and rushed over to join Guan Yu, followed by a huge amount of goods and a large number of Persian slaves. Guan Yu's serious face showed a rare smile, and he hugged his fists at the two young men and said, "With so many goods, Guan Mou's confidence has increased. ”

Ma Chao said loudly: "General Guan, don't worry, when you arrive in Gaza City, the follow-up goods will be delivered in a steady stream." ”

Deng Ai said: "Meng Qi and I will assist the general and arrive safely." ”

Guan Yu said: "I'm worried about who can be the pioneer, how can Shi Zai care? ”

Deng Ai said with a smile: "Being able to be the pioneer of General Guan is also a blessing in his life." ”

Guan Yu said with a smile: "Okay, Shizai is the vanguard, and I will order 10,000 regular troops to help you; Meng Qi responded, and it was also 10,000 horses. I personally cut it off. ”

Deng Ai and Ma Chao agreed loudly, and Deng Ai led 10,000 regular troops, more than 100,000 young and strong, and took the lead.

In the city of Ecbatana, it has been cleared, and there are more than 300,000 soldiers and young people in the city. Liu Ye recruited 150,000 young men into the army through the help of the interpreter, and the strength of the Han army was further strengthened.

Liu Ze saw that the Han army was replenished, and the generals were elated, and he was overjoyed, and ordered to leave a part of the military supplies, and the rest to be distributed to the poor people and slaves, and the fields outside the city were handed over to Zhuge Ke and asked him to watch and handle them. Liu Jian followed Zhuge Ke and studied government affairs, and Liu Qian followed the army and followed Liu Ze's side.

Seeing that everything was done, Liu Ye said to Liu Ze: "Your Majesty, the scouts have carefully probed, and the road leading from the Zagros Mountains to the city of Behistown has been blocked by the Persian army. The Persians built fortresses on the mountain roads and hoarded men and horses. The terrain of the fortress is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is very unfavorable to our army. ”

Liu Ze said: "Do you know the situation of the garrison of the fortress? ”

Liu Ye said: "There are only 10,000 people. ”

Liu Ze looked at Zhang Yan and said, "General Zhang Yan, one miracle is none other than you." ”

Zhang Yan's flying army has always been very useful, and now when he heard that the fortress was built in the mountains, it was the time for the flying army to show off his might, and when Liu Ze mentioned himself again, he was overjoyed, and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general will take people to check the terrain and choose the location of the flying army to attack." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "I have a flying army, although the fortress is dangerous, how can I stop it." General Zhang Yan went by himself, and there was a large army here to respond. ”

Zhang Yan said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not the last general to boast, with the last general's son, Persia is in danger, and it's easy to get it." ”

Zhang Yan can lead a million Black Mountain Army, his ability is definitely not ordinary, although the comprehensive force value is not ranked in the Three Kingdoms era, but in terms of light skills, it can be said that he was the first person in the world at that time, and the nickname of "Feiyan" could not be called in vain.

"Great!" Liu Ze said with a smile: "The general's ambition is commendable. Okay, I and the generals are in this city, waiting for the general's good news. ”

Zhang Yan was overjoyed, hugged his fist at Liu Ze, and made a salute to the people on the left and right, turned around and walked out, and went to make arrangements.

The fortress was built on the northern part of the Zagros Mountains, with a tall wall between the two hills, leaving only a gateway for five people to pass side by side; The mountains on both sides are dangerous, and there are cliffs and cliffs everywhere, which are endless, and if people want to climb over them, they must learn the skills of birds and grow a pair of wings.

Zhang Yan took more than a dozen personal soldiers and quietly touched not far from the fortress, looking at the towering city wall in front of him, and then looking at the cliffs on both sides, his brows tightened. This situation is too dangerous, and how a thousand flying troops can get to the top of the mountain is a problem.

After looking around for a while, seeing that the Persians on the wall were heavily guarded, Zhang Yan made a gesture and retreated. Coming to a forest, Zhang Yan stood up and said, "I exaggerated in front of the emperor, but this fortress is built so viciously that it is really difficult to overcome. ”

Sun Qing said: "Big brother, although the mountain is dangerous, there is always a big road, with our brother's skills, are you afraid that you can't find the big road?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "Now it seems that only by finding the way up the mountain can the flying army make contributions." ”
