Chapter 849: Riding Alone in the City and Howling the West Wind
A big battle, the blood on the battlefield is boiling. At this moment, the king of Persia wanted to personally drag his golden sword and jump off the city, and fight with the general of the Han Dynasty.
However, he was stopped by the people around him.
"Great King! Your body is a treasure of gold, and your shoulders bear the sustenance of the gods. If you lose even a single hair, your thousands of slaves will be distressed. How can these Han people be worth your hands-on? It is better to immediately send people to mobilize the warriors in the camp, surround them under the city, and all the horses will be cut into meat sauce to avenge the warriors who have just died! ”
The king of Persia frowned. Although he was arrogant, he was not so arrogant as to really think that he was an immortal body descended from the gods. The battle between the two armies outside the city just now, he could see it very clearly from the top of the city. The strength of this elite cavalry of the Han army not only exceeded the expectations of all the Persians around him, but even he, a king who was conceited of ten thousand enemies, was secretly surprised in his heart.
It is no wonder that in the last few major battles, the Persian army has suffered a terrible defeat. It turns out that only when you see the majestic posture of the Han army with your own eyes will you understand that it is definitely not accidental!
Originally, in the recent period, he had convened the Persian generals under his command several times to discuss the preparation of launching a full-scale offensive against the Dunhuang City Camp, the forward position of the Han army, in the shortest possible time. And now, in the depths of his unknown heart, the king of Persia is a little hesitant.
"Original...... This young man is Yuan Zhao?"
The king of Persia looked coldly at the brazen cavalry under the city and the leader with extraordinary bearing. This was the first time he had seen such a character from a distance, and when he heard the other party report his name, he knew that this was the famous Yuan Zhao.
"I think it's him! Legend has it that he is very powerful...... Hum! That's it! And arrogant enough to want to have a conversation with our King of kings? It's wishful thinking. ”
The generals who fought on the battlefield became lowly slaves in front of the king of Persia. knew that the words were insincere, but he had to compliment and praise against his will. As for the enemy, no matter how powerful he is, he must not exaggerate it in front of this violent king. This is a lesson that all of us have witnessed in the countless cases in which they have lost their lives.
Buyano, who was in a half-empty cage on the city wall, listened to the loud praises and belittlements from the city, and his face was filled with pain. As a member of the Persian race, when he remembered what the young Han army commander had said to him, he did not think it was arrogant at all. Rather, it will happen in reality in the near future.
"Do you really want to do what he says and serve the Han Empire...... Will the catastrophe of the total extinction of the Persian race be averted? ”
Buyano thought silently. But there still seems to be a shocking scene on the battlefield just now. He didn't know whether the Persian king and his nobles and generals at the head of the city were stupid or blind, couldn't they see that the young commander of the Han Dynasty was himself an invincible figure in the world? And the 5,000 cavalry led behind him is a microcosm of the entire Han Dynasty army. With such a terrifying empire, it is no longer a question of how to conquer them, but how to find a way to return to the Western Continent to protect itself!
It is a pity that up to this point, with the exception of him, the prophet, who had detected this in his own wisdom, all the other Persians had followed their great king with full confidence of victory, and awaited the time of the decisive battle.
The battle, which was personally commanded by Yuan Zhao, won a hearty victory within half an hour. Although dozens of brothers in the army were killed and wounded, the losses were almost negligible compared to the victory of the total annihilation of the equal number of 5,000 Persian cavalry.
And, most importantly, they achieved such a victory on the site of the Persian stronghold. It is said that the king of the Persian Empire was watching the battle from the top of the city at this moment. The enormous significance of this is enough to motivate them to keep fighting until they have killed all their enemies and shed their last drop of blood. The soldiers of the Han army were very curious, and they wanted to know how the king of Persia would respond after hearing the words of his invincible commander.
The king of Persia majestically stopped all the generals' proposals. He did not give orders to mobilize the troops and horses of the base camp. At this moment, he changed his mind.
When he saw a Persian envoy coming on horseback, Yuan Zhao put away his blood-stained sword, and he smiled faintly. He knew that his purpose had been achieved. The sharpest edge displayed by the cavalry of the Han Dynasty made the king of Persia put away the idea of acting rashly in a short time. This provides him with an extremely valuable period of time for the next stage of deployment.
"In accordance with the orders of His Majesty the Great King of Persia, the general of the Han Dynasty approached to answer. Do you have the guts to go there?"
Li Ling and the soldiers were furious. What cats and dogs dare to be presumptuous in front of Yuanhou! The sword light bloomed coldly, and it was about to break this small team of people into pieces.
Yuan Zhao waved his hand, signaling these warriors whose momentum had reached its peak to calm down. He was already on the winning stakes, full of confidence. Since the king of Persia did not immediately send his army to besiege him, it has proved that he has cowardice in his heart. In the war on three fronts, he should continue to wait for a good opportunity and not rush forward easily.
"Good! Lead the way in front of the head. ”
After saying a few simple words, Yuan Zhao ordered Li Ling to lead all the soldiers to wait in place. And he rode alone, and his demeanor leisurely followed the Persian envoy to the city of Wuwei.
Buiano looked at the rider and whispered to his followers with a solemn expression, "Let's take a good look!" This is the youngest ruler of the Han Dynasty. It is also a genius that is not born in this world...... If our prophet were alive, there would be a struggle against this man, and I am afraid that no one would be able to resist his will! ”
Hearing that he actually admired this Han man named Yuan Zhao to such an extent, the prophets and descendants were surprised, and they all focused on it, wanting to see the whole process of the exchange between the supreme commanders of the two armies this time.
"Yuan Zhao, in fact, I could have killed you in this city today!"
The condescending king of Persia finally saw the appearance of this famous man. He hides his inner emotions, cold and rebellious.
Yuan Zhao, who was within the attack range of the Persian army, restrained his war horse, and there was no abnormality on his face. He looked up and down the city, and he saw everything. The king of Persia was surrounded by thousands of warriors with large shields and long swords, and he was really a great man with a majestic god.
"Hehe, in fact, I can also kill you at the head of this Han fortress...... It's just that it doesn't make sense. ”
There was no trace of murder in Yuan Zhao's words, but many Persian warriors couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts without knowing why, as if there was a cold breath passing over the city, the iron armor was cold, and the sword and shield were clenched.
The king of Persia looked up to the sky and laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He finally understood the arrogance and ignorance of this young man. No matter how powerful a person is, can he still fly over the city alone and kill the king among thousands of ironclad swords and guns?
All the generals and warriors at the head of the city laughed with their king. They looked at the lonely man and the man with the eyes of an idiot, and if the king of Persia ordered the murder now, the other party would immediately die without a place to be buried.
Buyano, who was in mid-air, didn't smile. Because, he didn't know why, and suddenly believed that Yuan Zhao did have such an ability. He suppressed his thoughts, saw Yuan Zhao seem to glance in this direction, and then listened to him continue to speak.
"I have come today only to make an agreement with the king of Persia. As for the battle just now, it was a last resort...... So, Your Majesty the Great King of Persia, would you like to hear my proposal? ”
"Good! You say it, and I can hear it clearly. ”
The king of Persia did not give the order to kill, although to the slight disappointment of the surrounding Persian generals. But on such an occasion, naturally none of them dared to say anything casually.
"The two armies have been fighting for a long time, each with casualties, and both are exhausted. Why don't we take a break for two months? During this time, each of them will recuperate, and when the time comes, there will be a real decisive battle, and the battle will be decided or lost. I wonder what His Majesty the King of Persia thinks? ”
The king of Persia was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was secretly happy. In fact, this is exactly what he intended. In two months' time, the armies of the other two attacking the Han Dynasty will inevitably make great progress. And the Persian army in the Western Regions just gathered strength and prepared for a decisive battle. But I didn't expect that this Yuan Zhao was a "very considerate" wonderful person!
"Excellent! Deal. ”
The king of Persia laughed and agreed. Then he saw that Yuan Zhao also had a smile on his face, and said unexpectedly.
"Well, in order to express the sincerity of the Han Dynasty. During the two months of the armistice, we are willing to provide His Majesty the King of Persia with sufficient food and grass. It is only hoped that the Persian army will abide by the agreement. ”
The eyes of the king of Persia and his generals and nobles lit up. And such a good thing? Obviously, the Han Dynasty is cowardly! Because of the lack of cooperation of the people in the Western Regions, there has been a shortage of food and grass within the Persian army recently. Since the Han army wants to curry favor, of course he has to laugh at it!
"Hahaha! Good. I can swear here in front of everyone that during the armistice, I will never send troops to provoke casually. So, Yuan Zhao, what do you want? ”
Yuan Zhao, who had received the promise of the king of Persia in public, seemed to wave his hand casually, and he pointed to the prisoners on the city wall.
"I am willing to pay the price of millions of military rations to transport the Persian army in exchange for these prisoners...... There are also the bones of all the soldiers of the Han army who died. That's all! ”
