When raindrops began to fall in the dry air of the Western Regions, the long-awaited news finally arrived in the Persian base camp.

Unfortunately, it was not good news, but shocking news.

The generals were pale, and they had a terrible premonition in their hearts on their way to meet the king of Persia. Although it is not yet certain whether the news is true or false, they all believe that it must be true. Moreover, it was the Han army that deliberately let go of the messenger who reported the news, so that these messages came to the Wuwei Persian base camp at the same time.

This is undoubtedly a frightening start. If the samurai of the base camp, who had long been uneasy, had known the news, one can imagine how their will to fight would have been frustrated. Everyone will become trapped beasts, and the next step will not be to think about how to turn defeat into victory and defeat the Han army, but how to preserve their strength and escape with their lives and return to the Western Continent.

Several messages arrived in the early hours of the morning. I don't know what kind of nine deaths I experienced on the road, and the Persians who reported the news were all wounded. As expected earlier, except for the Qilian Mountains in the south, the passages to the west and north have been tightly sealed. Those people from the Western Regions who had received support and help from the Han army had all united. In order to avenge the blood and revenge of the past, they will kill every Persian they see!

The extravagant hope of waiting for follow-up support from the direction of the western continent will never be realized. More than a month ago, a large fleet of ships suddenly appeared on the surface of the South China Peninsula. Then they quickly began a landing operation.

The Persian king's crusade to the east took away almost all the elites of the western continent. The tens of thousands of warriors who stayed behind did not have the slightest power to fight back in the face of the Han Dynasty army that was like a divine soldier descending from the sky. More than 20,000 heavily armed Han troops scattered and fled like they were walking on the ground, chopping melons and vegetables.

Without the support of force, the entire western continent, including the Persian Empire, was trampled under the iron hooves of 20,000 Han troops in a very short time. According to the informant's account, there was already a dire and chaotic situation.

came out to invade, but the nest was dug up. No matter how the Persian generals thought about it, they didn't believe that the Han Dynasty could have such a powerful fleet that could reach the Nanzhi Peninsula across thousands of miles of oceans with unmistakable accuracy. But if this news is true, it will be a catastrophe for all the Persians who go on the expedition.

It seems that the Persians' plan to attack the Han dynasty from the sea had completely failed. It would be a ridiculous irony for those fleets that had been cobbled together with all the power of the Western continent to reach the seas of the Han Dynasty with great difficulty, only to sink into the sea without a trace!

Naturally, the people of the Han Dynasty laughed, and the Persians couldn't bother thinking about it anymore. When the real time of life and death came, their desire to survive was stronger than ever.

"What do you say...... The army that conquered the Han Dynasty from the north has been defeated?"

The reaction of the king of Persia when he heard the first news was somewhat unexpected by the generals. Instead of being furious, he stared at the speaker with a gaze that seemed to be disbelieving, and asked a rhetorical question with a calm expression.

The general in charge of intelligence can barely stand. He was scared, more than going to the battlefield to die. Because as a close confidant, he was well aware of the character of the king of Persia. At some point, the calmer the exterior, the more angry the waves are buried.

"I just received the news that the marshal of the Northern Route Army confronted the Han army in the grassland under the unfavorable circumstances of several battles. However, after the arrival of spring, as the weather warmed, the army began to contract a disease that had never been seen before...... And it is getting worse and worse, and there is no cure at all. Later, this terrible plague not only claimed the lives of many brave warriors, but also greatly reduced the combat capability of the entire legion. The Han army and the Huns on the steppe suddenly launched a large-scale attack at this moment, and our army could not resist it, and retreated in rout one after another. The last news they got this time was that the remnants of less than 50,000 horses after their defeat had retreated to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains...... If the battlefield on the western road cannot achieve a huge victory quickly, then the fate that awaits them is likely to be the annihilation of the whole army, and the horses will not return! ”

The general had some difficulty in reporting the general situation. He even had some suspicions that by the time the news reached here, the Persian Northern Legion might have been dead.

One of the faces of the King of Persia was hidden in the darkness of the light, and it was impossible to see what the expression was at this moment. There was a piercing edge slowly flipping. It was a golden sword, and its owner was carefully wiping it with a piece of deerskin. Then, cold words seemed to come from the sky.

"Humph! What a time for the Great Plague...... Why didn't the Han Dynasty's army suffer because of this? Could it be that God is helping them? ”

"My lord, I heard that there is good medicine in the army of the Han Dynasty, which can effectively prevent and control the occurrence of various infectious diseases. So...... They don't suffer as a result. ”

The general bowed his head, Nono said. Even if they have never been afraid of life and death, at this moment, everyone's heart has a feeling of desolation and sadness. This is a huge gap that cannot be bridged by bravery and good fighting.

The golden sword of the king of Persia was extremely sharp, and the souls of the dead under the sword were not a thousand but eight hundred. With a flick of his fingers, he heard the sound of a dragon roaring like a tiger. I couldn't help but laugh a few times, and asked indifferently.

"So, if you have any bad news, let's talk about it together!"

The anomaly of the king of Persia is terrifying. But by this time, the generals had nothing to hide. Thus, the subsequent king of Persia heard the reality that his kingdom had almost been occupied.

The atmosphere of silence for a long time can almost drive people crazy. All the generals, nobles, and close retinues bowed their heads deeply. They were waiting for the decision of the king of Persia and the direction of their own fate.

"The power of the Han Empire is so powerful. I didn't expect it! Not only did they have such strong cavalry, but they also had ships capable of crossing the oceans...... Hehe! I chose the wrong opponent this time. So, do you want to choose to surrender? ”

The king of Persia smiled faintly, his teeth were white, and if he took off the crown, he might just be a heroic warrior. But at this time, in everyone's voyeuristic eyes, all they saw was the bloodthirsty demon lord.

"Let's fight to the death with the Han army! Today, we are willing to lead all the samurai to fight under the sword of the king. ”

"200,000 troops, enough for a battle! Tonight, we will wash the camp of the Han army in blood and kill them to death! ”

"Kill into the Han army camp and rob them of their food ......!"

"Kill, kill, kill......!"

Days of hunger and depression, coupled with the stimulation of inner fear. Finally, the Persian generals' desire to kill was completely aroused. As samurai, if they had to die, they hoped to die on the battlefield, or at least die with the Han army.

The king of Persia was pleased with this attitude. He once fought in the wilderness, and he always believed that a group of hungry tigers and wolves on the verge of death were the most terrifying force in the world. The vicious methods of the Han army pushed the last 200,000 Persian troops to the limit. Now that they all have the potential to be tigers and wolves, he just needs to stimulate their ruthlessness and release them from the cage. So no matter how powerful the Han army is, can it still confront this group of dead soldiers who have been put to death and come to life?!

"Yuan Zhao, I heard that you are good at using soldiers and know strategy. But don't you know that among the stories that you have circulated in the East, there is one of the best examples called the shipwreck...... Hum! Today I will let you know what the real Tiger and Wolf Army is like. I hope you won't die so easily when I see you......! ”

A sinister sneer emanated from the gloomy face of the King of Persia. Ever since he was aware of the strategic deployment of the Han army and the plight faced by the Persian army, he had been deliberately waiting for the final moment. Instead of trying in vain to find a solution, it is better to gather all your strength and deliver a fatal blow! This is the valuable experience he accumulated when he faced the test of the beast alone when he was a teenager. And today, he wants to indulge these 200,000 red-eyed "hungry beasts" to tear his opponent to shreds!

"Give the order and eat everything you can eat...... The Han army has everything there, and after tonight's battle, everything doesn't have to be thought about anymore! ”

The generals who got the last royal order went with hideous faces. Soon, all the Wuwei base camp north of Qilian Mountain moved. A sharp, murderous aura that had not been seen for a long time broke through the clouds and shrouded the sky above this heaven and earth.

The decisive battle came so suddenly, starting from the afternoon at the turn of spring and summer in the Western Regions, within a radius of hundreds of miles, it became the dividing line between life and death in calm and turmoil.

"The Last Battle...... It's finally coming! ”

On a peak in the remnants of the Qilian Mountains, the majestic man put down the "lookout glass" in his hand, took another look at the latest enemy report he had received in his hand, and began to issue combat orders.

He had been preparing for too long in order to win a complete victory in the battle against the Persian stronghold. As the architect and planner of the Han Empire's westward expedition, he wanted not to defeat and expel the enemy, but to do his best to destroy the living force of the huge Persian army on his home turf. Only by attaining this operational goal can we ensure the smooth and absolute victory of the road to the west.

The afterglow of the setting sun began to stain the clouds on the horizon, and half of the western sky seemed to be splattered with blood. Those kaleidoscopic scenes, before they were about to sink into darkness, were so beautiful and bewitching, so dazzling.

"The enemy wants to fight the trapped beasts, what are the chances of Yuanhou winning?"

"Pretty sure...... When the battle is over! ”

In the face of thousands of mountains and ravines, Yuan Zhao calmly replied in the face of the generous and bookish Han Taishi Ling.
