Xiahoudun's eyes lit up, he raised the spear in his hand, and the soldiers behind him leveled the crossbow. The Zhuge crossbow is worthy of being the nemesis of the cavalry, and it can fire ten arrows in quick succession in one round, and the Han army is surrounded in a fan-shape, and the arrows are aimed at the remnants of Ardashir's horses.

Sebins relied on war elephants and cavalry to break through the attacks of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun in a row, and brought seventy or eighty thousand people to save Ardashir.

Relying on the cover of the huge body of the war elephant, Ardashir escaped death and came to the banks of the Tigris River with 30,000 scattered horses. The Tigris River cut off the city of Babylon, so Ardashir built several wooden bridges along the river to facilitate access. The Persians came to the river to look for the wooden bridge, and could not help but shout: Bitter! On the Tigris, where are there any bridges. Ardashir looked to heaven and prayed: Aldashir, Almighty God of Light, appear quickly to save your faithful believers.

On the west side of the Tigris River, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and a group of people and horses swarmed to kill, it was Jiang Wei who saw Ardashir abandon the attack on the camp and turned south, guessed the intention of the Persians, and led the army to outflank him.

Ardashir looked at the east of the riverbank, the Han cavalry shook the sky full of smoke and dust, and also screamed and killed, there is a big river in front of it, and the soldiers are chasing on three sides, can't I, the king of kings, be blessed by the god of light?

Sabins looked at Ardashir and shouted, "Your Majesty, go down the river quickly, swim across the other bank, and I will stop the pursuers." ”

Ardashir looked at the emaciated general in front of him, the so-called Bandang saw loyalty, and it was this person who was truly loyal to himself. If Sabins stays, he will definitely die for life, his own men and horses have fought for most of the night, and he has already exhausted his physical strength, and the army has no fighting spirit and will have no fighting spirit. With tears welling up in his eyes, Ardashir said to Sebins: "Take care, General. With that, he waved his hand, surrounded by the guards, and went down to the river.

When Sabence saw that the Emperor was gone, he shouted, "Line up, meet the enemy on both sides, and buy time for His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The Persian army dragged its heavy body and set up a position, and the men and horses on both sides quickly collided and fought together.

Ardashir came to the depths of the river, and his horse swung his limbs and slowly swam towards the opposite bank. Ardashir closed his eyes, put his hands on his chest, and muttered verses from the Persian scriptures, and it seemed that the god of light had not given up on himself.

An hour later, when it was already dark, the captain of the guard said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you will soon be on the other side." ”

Ardashir opened his eyes, and the southern bank of the Tigris River was towering and close in front of him, and he couldn't help but perk up and shouted: "Speed up, rush to the embankment, and we will hurry to Babylon." ”

Before Ardashir's cry was over, countless Han soldiers stood in the woods on the south bank, each holding a repeating crossbow, and the sharp arrows flashed in the cold light of the morning sun. Ardashir raised his head to the sky and shouted, "God will not bless me." ”

The soldiers raised their shields and protected Ardashir in the middle. When Zhou Tai saw it, he sneered: "Repeating crossbows and gunpowder attacks." ”

Ardashir and a group of guards were tired and almost as tired as dead dogs, and at this time, the arm that raised the shield was trembling, and there was no resistance anywhere. The arrows and gunpowder packets of the Han army flew mercilessly, and the uncrowned Persian emperor, the pioneer of the Sassanid Empire, was hit by several arrows and fell into the river, where he was carried away by the boiling water.

Zhou Tai saw that there was no longer a standing Persian, and said: "Clean up the battlefield." ”

The fire in the city of Taixi was extinguished in a day and a night, and there were many soldiers and civilians in the city. It's a pity that a beautiful capital city disappeared in the fire.

The men and horses of Ctesiphon, the Han army and Vologis VI, crossed the Tigris River and besieged the city of Babylon.

The lord of Babylon was Ardashir's own brother, Prince Walworth, and after learning that Ctesiphon had been breached and his brother had not been heard from, he carefully defended the city.

Jiang Wei came to see Liu Ze and said: "Your Majesty, the city of Babylon is the capital of the Sabbath Dynasty, and there are many generals in the city. Now that Ardashir has been given the head, the morale of the army in the city is unstable, why not let people take the opportunity to surrender? ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Let the soldiers in the city see the sharpness of our army's weapons, and then surrender, and get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Jiang Wei was greatly impressed, but the emperor thought about it properly, and said at the moment: "The emperor is far-sighted, and the last general is ugly." ”

Liu Ze smiled: "Boyo He Taiqian also." After our army suppresses the enemy army at the head of the city, we can order the old department to go to the city and fight with the enemy army in the city. ”

Jiang Wei was overjoyed and went to arrange it.

Stillworth finally got the news that one of Ardashir's guards lurked in the river, took off his armor underwater, took off his armor underwater, and hid in a densely populated area of water and grass for a day, and only after dark did he quietly climb ashore, disguise himself as a commoner, and come to Babylon City, where he found Prince Walworth.

Volworth was speechless when he heard that Ctesiphon's 300,000-strong army had vanished and the entire city burned to the ground. After a long time, he reacted and asked, "What means did the Han army use?" Can ignite the entire city of Tessie. ”

The guard said, "With birds." ”

Woolworths said: "Impossible, impossible, how can the birds listen to the command of the Han army? ”

The guard said: "Your Royal Highness, the villain doesn't know what is going on, but before the incident, the Han army caught birds and sparrows on a large scale, and Taixi caught fire on the night of the closure of the city. ”

Horworths was alarmed and hurriedly ordered that the whole city be cleared of birds and finches, and not a single bird should be left. The city of Babylon was bustling at night, with a group of soldiers carrying torches and ladders, going from house to house looking for birds' nests.

More than ten days later, the men and horses of Woolworths basically cleaned up all the buildings and bird nests on the trees in the city, and the Han army's stone throwers and towers were slowly pushed to the bottom of the city wall.

On the circular city wall, the Persian soldiers looked at the tall stone throwers and towers one by one, and muttered vigorously in their hearts, the city of Tessy was broken by the Han army, how many days can the city of Babylon last? Are you dead or alive? Who will support the relatives in the family? The emperors are all dead, you say that you are a prince, what are you doing with the Han army? Just surrender, the big guy can save his life, right?

Panic spread among the army, and Babylon was an isolated city after all, so it was no wonder that the soldiers thought so. Woolworth was quite capable, and when he heard the discussion in the army, he personally brought good food, drink, gold, silver and jewelry to the battalions to comfort the soldiers and improve morale. After some tossing, the morale in the city of Babylon slowly rose.

The stone throwing cart and the tower were in place, and the Han army began to attack the city, and the boulders and arrows took turns to rush towards the city, and the soldiers at the head of the city saw that the situation was not good, and pulled out their legs to go down to the city and hid under the root of the city wall. Jiang Wei commanded the old department to rest, lifted the ladder, and set it up on the top of the city.
