Buyano, who left the Jade Gate Pass, felt frustrated like he had never felt before. Although he was not a brave samurai, he had a strong physique and a strong will. He walked all the way back to the base camp of the Persian army, and his footsteps did not stop.

It was not that he did not want to stop to rest, but the sense of urgency in his heart made him hurry back and report what he had seen and heard to the king of Persia in person. Also, he had to leave the land of fire and blood far away, and he never wanted to remember what he had seen.

On the Western continent, a man of great wisdom was born hundreds of years ago. People did not know where he came from, nor did they know his name, but the people of the countries under his influence called him "prophet."

The wisdom left by the Prophet, carried forward and magnified by his inheritors, has influenced the development of the Western continent in every way. Even the kings of several ancient empires were largely influenced by them.

These wisdoms are extremely practical knowledge. Even with Yuan Zhao's vision, when he first saw the knowledge of astronomy, geography, mathematics and other aspects recorded on the parchment scroll offered by Buyano, he was greatly surprised.

Unfortunately, not everyone is a prophet. Although his inheritors regarded the wisdom left by the prophet as the supreme treasure of the world, they were only able to understand and apply it to two or three times out of ten.

Even so, it is already a remarkable achievement. One of the most important reasons why the great Persian dynasty was able to unify the western continent was because of the help of the prophets. And Buyano is one of the outstanding figures.

However, Buyano now doubts his ability to match the wisdom of the prophet.

He finally stopped the long journey, wiped his sweat from exhaustion, and gasped for breath, he was too tired. Before going to see the king of Persia, Buyano threw away the shoes on his feet. Because he always felt that the blood he stepped on when he walked through the battlefield outside the Yumen Pass could not be washed clean.

The river in Jiuquan County is where the king of Persia is stationed. This place, which is relatively rich in water and has a relatively stable climate in the Western Regions, has been occupied by the Persian army for a long time.

When Buyano walked into the camp, he clearly felt the change in the atmosphere. He knew that the king of Persia must have known the news. The king lost a good commander and 100,000 brave warriors under his command. He must have been in a rage.

Buyano was right. Since receiving an urgent military report a few days ago, the anger of the Persian king has not been extinguished. The way he was angry was horrible. Generally speaking, while drinking heavily, the servants who were slaves were whipped with leather whips.

After occupying the entire Western Regions, the biggest gain, in addition to land wealth, was to get countless fine wines. Especially those sweet spirits from the Han Dynasty made the Persian king love it even more. Almost every day, it is indispensable.

Great kings, of course, have the bravest warriors to serve them. All he needed was a knife and wine, and countless beautiful maids, and that was enough.

Only now, he has no interest in all this. The news of the defeat at Yumen Pass deeply stimulated his pride. Although the loss of 100,000 warriors was not enough to destroy the vitality of the Persian army, he would never tolerate it if the entire battle plan was disrupted because of the defeat in this battle.

In a large tent arranged like a palace, all the attendants and slaves

The servants all stayed in the corner trembling, and they didn't dare to gasp. Several people were flinching and carrying out several corpses. It was a couple of beautiful dancing girls who had been beaten to death with a leather whip because of the drunken anger of the king of Persia.

The precious carpet was stained with blood, and the beautiful flowers had just withered. The king, who made the entire Western Continent tremble at his feet with his tyrannical force, did not care about these despicable lives at all.

"Damn the hateful Han Chinese!"

The king of Persia threw the whip aside viciously, and in his arrogant heart he had never accepted such a serious defeat.

"You guys! What are you waiting for? If you can't enter Chang'an of the Han Dynasty before the arrival of spring, some of you will cut off the head from your neck yourself! ”

After the murder, the Persian king was still angry, and he stared at the nobles, royal ministers, and generals standing around him with blood-red eyes, like a wild beast that wanted to choose people to devour.

This group of innocent people had just been summoned by the king of Persia to discuss the matter, and they were rewarded with fine wine. However, in the blink of an eye, it ushered in a thunderous rage. The reason for all this is just that there was a Western Regions dancer who danced the Han Dynasty dance.

"My king, please be angry! Although the Yumen Pass was defeated, the Persian vanguard army suffered heavy casualties. But also learned about the reality of the Han Dynasty army. As long as we can adjust our strategic deployment well in the next big war, break through the Yumen Pass in one fell swoop, and the army will approach Chang'an, it will be easy. ”

The identity of a person who can speak loudly in such an atmosphere is certainly not simple. The prince's name was Phipley, and he was also a well-known commander. His status is comparable to that of Prince Anthony, who died in Chang'an.

The Persian king himself commanded an army of nearly 500,000 in the middle lane. In addition to the bravest and most warlike Marshal Nehgu, Prince Fipley is also a very talented fellow in military affairs. Coupled with the fact that he was trusted and respected by the king of Persia, he was able to deal with the wrath of this tyrannical king calmly.

The other generals breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that someone had come out to bear their wrath. Secretly wiped the cold sweat. Anyone who loses militarily at any time, they are the unlucky ones. Why don't they want to fight a quick battle, break through the barrier directly, and set foot in the Han realm!

However, who would have thought that just because of the defeat in the first battle of Yumen Pass, in just a few days, some worrying signs were happening in the entire Western Regions occupation area. But in view of the recent irritability of the king of Persia, no one dared to tell him about these hidden disadvantages.

"Phoepley, tell these fools what lessons you have learned from this defeat!"

The Persian king's violent face was a little restrained, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, which quickly disappeared. In his seemingly rude and brutal behavior, he has the ability to see everything. This is the means by which he can enslave everyone from above.

All the people who were scolded as fools listened respectfully, and none of them dared to be dissatisfied. The elites of the Persian Empire had no doubts about their loyalty to the Persian king. To be the slave and minion of this great king is their supreme honor.

Seeing that the king of Persia finally returned to his seat, with the help of several slave girls, wiped the blood from his hands with snow-white velvet. Prince Phippley did not move

The voice withdrew his gaze and saluted respectfully.

"Great King of kings, I have heard that in this ancient land of the East, there is a saying that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. The victory of a great war is not determined by the outcome of one or several battles. The defeat in the Battle of Yumen Pass, for the Persian army, just exposed many shortcomings in the face of evenly matched opponents. It was a precious experience. And for the army of the Han Dynasty, it is even more necessary to re-evaluate their combat effectiveness. ”

Listening to his analysis, the Persian king's eyes flickered and he nodded slightly. And everyone else was listening. They wanted to know how they could defeat the Han army.

"Obviously, the Han army guarding Yumen Pass is the real elite of the Han Dynasty. Not only do they have great combat effectiveness, but more importantly, they have weapons beyond our knowledge! ”

As he said this, Prince Phipley's tone became heavy. The battle reports received from the front were not comprehensive, and the few Persian dead soldiers who were lucky enough to escape with their lives and were escorted back to the base camp were mentally abnormal due to the great fright. Talking nonsense about what Han people will fly in the sky, what will lead to thunder and fire in the sky and other bastard words, except for shaking the morale of the army, there are no useful clues at all. So they had already been beheaded by order of the king of Persia.

However, even if it is not so exaggerated, there is no doubt that the Han Dynasty army has extremely powerful combat weapons. Otherwise it is impossible to explain the loud noise heard by the Persian troops in the rear and the billowing smoke seen.

"It is said that the total number of defenders in Yumen Pass is not more than 50,000, is this information accurate?"

The King of Persia, who looked coldly at the expressions of everyone below, finally opened his mouth to ask about military matters. The general in charge of this matter hurriedly replied.

"Great King, this news is true. For some reason, the Han Dynasty had a huge population, but there were not many armies that could really be used to fight. The Han army that blocked the advance of the Persian army at Yumen Pass was definitely not more than 50,000. ”

"That's right! The people of the Han Dynasty were greedy for pleasure, and no one wanted to fight in armor. Hum! With 500,000 against 50,000, if you can't open the door of this country, then you generals and commanders still have the face to live? ”

It is very serious to utter such words from the mouth of the king of Persia. The generals could not stand such humiliation, and swore in public that they would collectively cut off their heads and apologize if they did not step on all obstacles in front of the army in one fell swoop.

"It's not hard to sweep everything by the army, but ...... For the past few days, the people of these countries in the Western Regions have not known what news they have heard, or what they have been encouraged to do, in addition to fleeing one after another, the supplies and supplies they provide have gradually become scarce, but this matter has to be taken seriously! ”

Prince Phippley finally voiced his worries. However, the king of Persia does not seem to have this in mind. He stood up and gave the order loudly.

"The soldiers and horses in the base camp are all activated, and there is no longer a shadow of the Han army in the hundreds of miles of land from Jiuquan to Yumen Pass. I hope that on this road to the Yumen Pass, there is not an inch of obstacle before the chariot! ”

It was at this time that Buyano returned.
