Chapter 309: A Simple Victory
The Si people are not afraid of death, and the tide-like attack makes the big Qin Shi on the female wall increase, and the heavy Mo knife hand is indeed strong, but the Mo knife weighing sixty catties is continuously wielded, no one can withstand it, and there are Persian marksmen under the city wall who sneak up on them from time to time, although the armor on their bodies is excellent, but they are shot by the Persians' strong bows at close range, and they will still be transmitted and injured. As a result, the battle began to become fierce, and the Persians gradually occupied the women's wall by relying on crowd tactics and huge casualties.
"Retreat!" On the women's wall, Daqin's officers shouted, waking up the soldiers who were immersed in the fighting, and they began to evacuate the women's wall in an orderly manner. Looking at the retreating Daqin soldiers, on the female wall, the Persians cheered, which made the Persian general who was sweating outside the city breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't have much time, if the battle continued to drag on, he had to retreat, otherwise when the reinforcements from the Qin State arrived, he couldn't leave if he wanted to, but fortunately, Da Mingzun blessed him, and finally fought down.
"General, the defenders of the Qin State abandoned the fort and left, do you want to pursue." After receiving the reply from his subordinates, the adjutant general looked at the general beside him who looked relaxed and asked.
"The top priority is to take away the ordnance in the stone fort, and those Qin soldiers don't care about them." Glancing at the adjutant general, the general of Upper Persia muttered, he didn't know that he had fallen into a trap, if it had been replaced thirty years ago, his predecessors would definitely be able to see that something was wrong, the soldiers of Great Qin would never abandon their positions, they would only fight to the death, and the retreat of the soldiers of Great Qin usually represented a terrible conspiracy. But unfortunately, the Upper Persian general, who was now being carried away by ecstasy, did not think of this at all, and he only urged the soldiers to remove the ordnance from the stone fort.
Received Liu Yu back to the place. looked at the Greeks who had been waiting beside him for a long time. "Mr. Chen, it's time for us to go!" His words made Contriano, who had been waiting for a long time, not react for a while, until Liu Yu urged again. He came back to his senses, "Are we going to get to the battlefield in time?" Contriano was a little puzzled, they were still quite far from the stronghold where they were hoarding ordnance.
"The Persians can't go fast, their greed will ruin them." Liu Yu said something similar to the way the Greeks did, but Contriano still didn't quite understand, but he knew that it was better for him not to talk too much at this time. The Great Qin Legion is invincible, the Persians will be finished, it's as simple as that.
Now, the Persians are in a big trouble, the soldiers of the Qin State who abandoned the fort have destroyed all the vehicles before leaving, and they will be extremely slow to carry away the ordnance. "Tell the soldiers that we only have an hour. After more than an hour, we immediately retreated. Although he was reluctant to accept the fine armaments, the general of Upper Persia was well aware of the consequences of the arrival of Qin reinforcements, but unfortunately he did not know that this hour's delay would doom him.
Liu Yu divided his troops into two directions, and made a detour to the Persians from the left and right. The elite scouts who acted as scavengers cleared the Persians of the ranger scouts left on the periphery until they were within three hundred paces of the Persians. only to be discovered. The Persians hesitated for a moment at the sudden shout of 'enemy attack', and did not come to their senses until the night sky sounded the overwhelming roar of arrows, but it was too late by this time. Liu Yu had formed a formation of infantry troops on both flanks, although it is generally believed that cavalry is stronger than infantry, but in fact, the king of frontal combat on the battlefield is the elite infantry, especially the mobility of cavalry is limited, and after losing the greatest weapon of speed, cavalry becomes the side to be slaughtered.
Now the Persians are in a desperate situation, they are squeezed in front of the ordnance hoarding point, the two wings are the infantry army arrays that are waiting for the battle, and in front of them is the Great Qin crossbow array that is constantly tilting crossbow arrows, and their only way back is to lead to the garrison of the Great Qin army, and from the current situation, maybe they have already had the Qin army ambushed behind them.
The Upper Persian general, who was in the stronghold, saw that in the blink of an eye, his men and horses were besieged to the death, and he already knew that he had fallen for the plan, but it was too late to regret it. "General, the State of Qin has sent an envoy?" Just when the main general was distracted, the deputy general came in a hurry, and although Liu Yu formed a siege against them, he did not immediately launch a fierce attack, but sent a few recruited horse thieves who knew Persian to persuade them to surrender.
The offensive and defensive were reversed, and the morale of the Persians was greatly demoralized, but they were all the elite of the Upper Persian iron cavalry, and although they were encircled, they quickly got rid of the panic, resumed the queue under the leadership of officers at all levels, and made a defensive posture.
"Surrender or die." The horse thief who passed the message said loudly in Persian, this is what Liu Yu asked him to bring, and he repeated it word for word, the face of the Persian
It becomes ugly.
"Fox fake tiger thing!" Looking at the messenger who was wearing a black Great Qin military uniform, but his demeanor was like a thief, the Persian deputy general who knew it couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he couldn't get angry, if he killed him, he would be recognized as a provocation by the Great Qin army and be attacked.
"General?" The adjutant general looked at the main general, whether it was battle or surrender, he had to come up with an idea, if it was delayed, the morale of the soldiers would become more and more depressed.
"How many people did we just lose?" Just when the lieutenant general was waiting anxiously, the chief general finally opened his mouth slowly, and his question made the lieutenant general stunned, but soon the lieutenant general reported the casualties after breaking through the ordnance point, "A total of 1,17 people were killed. ”
The adjutant general froze, and in that short one-hour attack, they lost one-tenth of their troops, and it was those Qin soldiers who deliberately retreated to let them succeed, if they really fought down, they would never have been able to do it without three thousand casualties. Thinking of this, the deputy general seemed to understand the main general's thoughts, after losing the cavalry's maximum weapon speed and space, their combat power was infinitely increased by the Great Qin Army, and if they resisted desperately, it would be a situation of total annihilation.
"Tell your general on my behalf that it's okay for me to surrender, but he wants to keep me and my men safe." The lord of Upper Persia looked at the horse thief who made him hate, and his voice was resolute, "If it is not guaranteed, then attack, and we will resist to the end until the last man." Forced by the eyes of the general of Upper Persia, the horse thief who came to convey the message could not say what he wanted to tease, but went back to his life with a blank face.
"Go and tell the Persians, and I promise his terms." After listening to the return of the horse thief, Liu Yu immediately made a decision, before leaving, Li Ang had instructed him to set up this bureau, not to kill these Persians, but to try to surrender, which will be of great use in the future.
"General Liu, do we really want to surrender those Persians?" After Contriano waited for the horse thieves to leave, he looked at Liu Yu, he inquired in detail about Li Ang's deeds, and knew that the prisoners who died at the hands of Li Ang were at least hundreds of thousands, and he was a little suspicious that Liu Yu planned to kill those Persians after surrendering them.
—
"Of course." Liu Yu nodded, "This is the marshal's order." ”
Just when Liu Yu's surrender was going smoothly, the returning Hu Luguang killed one by surprise behind the 5,000 Persians, and after killing 2,000 people, he forced the remaining 3,000 people to surrender, of course, he himself paid the price of more than 700 people killed, which was not a big victory.
Although Contriano had hoped for a great battle, he did not have any dissatisfaction since Liu Yu had given him the glory of surrender, and the expression on his face when he rode on his horse and watched the Persian general look at him made his heart even more happy.
"I don't believe this Greek is the manager!" The Upper Persian general who surrendered to the Great Qin Army, looked at the Greek who accepted his surrender, and couldn't help but roar, with a face of humiliation, although the Persians hated the Great Qin people, but they also admired the martial arts of the Great Qin people, and it was not humiliating to surrender to the generals of the Great Qin, but now what he saw in front of him was actually a despicable Greek, and no matter how he looked at it, he was also a little white face, not like he would fight, which made the general of Upper Persia quite annoyed.
"We're going to give you a fair deal, you've made the right choice, General." Liu Yu made the Greeks stop their sarcasm about the Persians, walked up to him and said.
"I hope you can do it." Looking at Liu Yu standing in front of him, the general of Upper Persia unconsciously stood up straight, and the humiliation of the Greeks against him was also left behind by him, his intuition told him that the man standing in front of him was a real soldier, maybe he was the one who defeated him, so he asked tentatively, "You made the plan for tonight?" ”
"No, that's a plan made by our marshal, and I'm only responsible for carrying it out." Liu Yu replied, and then he smiled at the Persian general in front of him, who could speak Chinese, "You will see the marshal soon." ”
"Because I surrendered?" The general of Upper Persia said with some bitterness, the reason why he chose to surrender was because he didn't want the elite iron cavalry of Upper Persia to die worthless, they were tricked, and it made no sense to fight to the death in absolute disadvantage, so even if he would be called a coward, he still chose to surrender.
"It's not easy to make that choice." Liu Yu patted the Persian general on the shoulder and asked his own soldiers to take him away, and then he looked at the somewhat confused Greek, "Mr. Chen, we won this battle." ”
