Ten years ago, after the legions of the Great Qin Empire appeared in front of the Romans, the Romans knew that in the far east, there was a city more magnificent than Rome, and the name of that city was Chang'an.

The Romans had always been haunted by their hegemony at the hands of the Han Chinese, who had dominated Asia Minor and North Africa, and who were rich and noble, but that had changed since the arrival of the Great Qin Legion in the Mediterranean. Greece became independent, lowly Jews established their dream state in Palestine, and Egypt broke away from their rule. For more than a hundred years, these three countries locked Rome to the death in the Great 6 of Europe in order to curry favor with their master, the Great Qin Empire.

For the Romans, this was their perception of the Great Qin Empire, and they aspired to regain hegemony in the Mediterranean, to be on an equal footing with the Great Qin Empire, and to become the hegemon of the West.

On the open-air balcony on the second floor, Cui Hao looked at the bustling crowd on the street, nearly seventy percent of them wore crosses, his brows were furrowed, he had been in Rome for more than a year, watching Constantine Bu Milan's pardon, making Christianity, which was originally persecuted, the current state religion of Rome, and greatly supporting it.

As for Christianity, Cui Hao saw it as a considerable threat, which helped Constantine gain the support of the lower people of Rome, and at the same time used Constantine's power to rapidly expand among the burghers and nobility of Rome, and at the current momentum, all the natives of the country would become Christians in a maximum of five years. Constantine could then use Christianity to spread the 'will of God' against them. When war is used in the name of jihad, it stirs up fanatical religious sentiments, which is a terrible thing. Thinking of this, Cui Hao couldn't help but think of the Germanic people to the west of the Romans, if the Romans preached to these Germanic people and converted them to Christianity. Then things will get even trickier.

Walking back to the study on the second floor, Cui Hao spread out the rice paper and began to write an official letter to Li Ang, the Romans must be taken seriously, compared with the Huns, they have more population and more advanced technology, their war potential is much stronger than the Huns, and now they have an eloquent monarch. and a religion that can unite them, they are quite difficult enemies, in the end, Cui Hao mentioned that the Arabs in the peninsula, the Romans are in contact with this newly emerging theocratic people, although the content of the contact between the two sides is not known, but Cui Hao himself believes that the Romans are trying to win over the Arabs as allies, in other words, the Arabs are likely to become enemies in the future.

Cui Hao's official document reached Li Ang's hands three months later, and it was October 173 of the Qin calendar, and Cui Hao's official document was this official document. Let Leon see Constantine's ambitions, the Romans are planning to form a military alliance to fight against the Great Qin, the Huns have officially formed an alliance with the Romans, the Romans will provide various technologies to the Huns, and now the weapon gap between the Huns and the Great Qin is being narrowed, and it is foreseeable that most of the strength of the Great Qin will be limited to the border war with the Huns. He would alone fight against the expansion of the Romans in the Mediterranean.

Although Cui Hao mentioned the Arabs in the official document. However, due to the lack of reputation of the Arabs before, Cui Hao did not pay much attention to the Arabs, but for Leon, the Arabs were a strong enemy second only to the Romans, and the war potential of these religious maniacs was by no means lower than that of the Romans, and the worst thing was that the Arabs had no less than horses to equip their cavalry, and at the same time, they could attack the Jews from the 6th route, or they could directly cross the narrow strait to attack Egypt.

Look at the map. Leon's brow was furrowed, and the geographical superiority of the Arabs gave him a headache, the Jews were shrewd merchants, and the Egyptians. Their army is really not good, and they are no match for the Arabs.

"Grandpa, now the situation is unfavorable to us, we should take Persia and take it as the root." Wang Meng also read the official document sent back by Cui Hao, and when he saw Li Ang frowning at the map, he spoke.

"What do you think?" Leon looked at the people in the tent, although he had decided in his heart to defeat Persia as soon as possible according to Wang Meng's wishes, but he still had to ask in front of him to show his attention to everyone.

"The Persians can't fight, but the walls are strong, and if they want to take down the land, they will have a surprise army." Murong was the first to speak, and the meaning in his words was clearly to agree to defeat Persia, and to take into account specific matters.

"This winter's heavy snow is just right for our army's sneak attack." Li Cunzhi opened his mouth and said, his words made everyone present stunned, and then they all nodded, indeed the snow can hide the whereabouts of the army, as long as you pay attention to the hidden, when you can unknowingly touch the city of the Persian king, as long as you steal the city gate with the elite, and insist until the army arrives, you can decide on a battle, but although this strategy is good, but the risk is also extremely great, one careless, that is, the army is trapped in the wind and snow, and the back road is cut off.

"Which of you would like to take on this task?" Li Ang has always loved to use strange soldiers, and won the greatest victory at the lowest cost, what Li Cunzhi said was exactly what he wanted, and when he saw that everyone was a little moved, he asked.

"Grandpa, I am willing to go." Among the crowd, Chen Baxian, who had just returned from Guishuang, was the first to jump up and said, it seemed that he was eager to lead the troops out immediately, for Chen Baxian, as a martial artist, what is the difference between not being able to fight and being a wasted person.

Seeing that Chen Ba took the lead, and the rest of the generals also asked to lead the troops to the battle, looking at the red-faced subordinates, Li Ang's eyes were cold, and suddenly everyone was honest, although they were the generals who commanded 10,000 people, but in front of Li Ang, they were all like docile kittens, Li Ang said one, they would never dare to say two.

"Baxian, you are the main general, Cunzhi is the deputy general, the Tiger God Army will bring it to you, and Murong is ready to respond with an army." Li Ang saw that everyone was quiet, so he ordered Chen Baxian and Li Cunzhi to be the vanguard and go to steal the city gate.

Wang Meng didn't speak, this was something he had discussed with Li Ang a long time ago, and Li Ang had the final say in the military, but he could be arbitrary, after all, Li Ang was the number one general in the world, and he had fought dozens of battles in more than ten years, and none of them were defeated.

In case the news leaks. Chen Baxian and Li Cunzhi led the Tiger God Army into ten batches and infiltrated into Persia, while under the rule of Li Ang, they used winter training to select elite soldiers and secretly form an army. approximately

Five days after leaving with Li Cunzhi and the Tiger God Army, Murong Ke led them straight to the Persian royal city.

Chen Baxian and Li Cunzhi are both ruthless and cold-blooded people, since they infiltrated the territory of Persia, but all the villages they encountered on the road, regardless of men, women and children, were killed cleanly, and the corpses were buried in the snow. Tens of thousands of people were killed in the middle of the month, and only then did they unknowingly touch the woods ten miles away from the Persian royal city and set up there.

At night, beside the fire, Chen Baxian and Li Cunzhi calculated the distance between Murong Ke and them, "The cavalry led by Murong has always been extremely fast, and I estimate that they are now at most a day's journey away from us." Li Cunzhi looked at the jumping firelight and said in a deep voice.

"It's been a lot of snow these days, and I guess he'll be there in at least three days." Chen Baxian shook his head. No matter how powerful Murong is, he can't stop the wind and snow to make it easier for him to hurry, "Although this heavy snow has slowed down his trip, it must also make his travel more secretive." Seeing Li Cunzhi frowning, Chen Ba said first.

"I hope so." Li Cunzhi listened to the sound of the north wind whistling outside the tent and muttered to himself. Then he looked at Chen Baxian, "Then we will repair for two days, and then try to seize the city gate." Chen Baxian didn't answer, but nodded heavily.

—

In the white vast snowstorm, the cavalrymen in white robes led the horses deep and shallow in the thick snow and marched forward, Murong Ke looked at the white vast land in front of him, his face was pale, this is also him. If it had been someone else, I guess I would have scolded God a long time ago. "Speed up the team!" Tightening the cloak on his body, Murong Ke said coldly to the soldiers beside him, if it is according to the current degree. He was afraid that he would not be able to reach his destination in five days, and if Chen Baxian and Li Cunzhi led the Tiger God Army to steal the city first, I am afraid that they might not be able to hold out until he arrived.

"Wait." As soon as the soldiers received the order, Murong Ke shouted to him again, "Tell our people, as long as the city is breached, I will give them three days to be happy." "Among the 100,000 soldiers, the Tubo people and the Turkic people account for the majority of the steppe Hu people, and if you want them to fully abide by the iron law of the Great Qin Army, do not **, do not loot, do not kill indiscriminately, Murong Ke asked himself if he couldn't do it, so he simply used it as a means to boost morale.

Murong Ke's order was issued, and the army was really much faster, for these Hu soldiers who had not been sinicized for a long time, the battle was won, and it was a matter of course to burn and loot, thinking of those beautiful Persian women and countless riches in the Persian cities, those Hu soldiers were desperately rushing to the road, eager to fly over with their wings directly.

The army of 100,000 people, even if they are dressed in white robes and covered by wind and snow, it is impossible to completely hide from the Persian cities, but the Persians have been frightened by Leon over the years, and none of the Persian defenders in those cities dared to go out of the city to stop them, but only sent messengers to report to the royal city.

In the white snow hills, the Han soldiers in white robes held sniper crossbows painted white, lying in the snow, looking at the white earth hundreds of meters away through the scope on the crossbow, they were the veterans of the Great Qin Legion under Murong, everyone was good at using crossbows, this time they shouldered the heavy responsibility of sniping the emergency messengers sent by the Persian cities along the way.

In the white snowstorm, a small group of Persian scouts desperately drew their horses and hurried towards the royal city, unbeknownst to them, their fate had already been sealed from the time they appeared in the field of vision of those Han veterans.

The roar of the crossbow was drowned out by the north wind, and the blood bloomed in the snow, and the Persian scouts on the horses fell from their horses into the snow with their eyes open, and in a short moment, four people died, and the remaining Persian scouts looked at the white surroundings in horror, screaming in their mouths, not knowing what had happened.

The rewound Han veterans looked at the panicked Persian scouts in the scope, and pulled the crossbow again with expressionless faces, and then he got up from the snow, hung the crossbow behind him, drew his horizontal knife, jumped into the snow, and dived to the Persian scouts, who were more than half dead and wounded.

A moment later, several Han Chinese veterans wiped the blood from their horizontal knives, buried the bodies of the Persian scouts in the snow, and disappeared into the snow, as if they had never appeared, and there was only endless snow falling between heaven and earth. Elsewhere, the same scene played out over and over again, and in the end, none of the Persian scouts were able to bring the news back to the royal city, and Bandas XVII remained in the dark, unaware of the impending destruction of his city.

Two days later, in the dark and snowy night, Chen Baxian and Li Cunzhi took the three thousand tiger gods army to take advantage of the cover of the wind and snow, and walked towards the city wall ten miles away, they walked very slowly, and the distance of ten miles was a full hour before they touched the city wall, and then they lurked on both sides of the city gate, letting the snow cover their bodies and bury themselves.

At dawn, the wind and snow were getting lighter, but the sky was still gray, and the gates of the Persian royal city slowly opened, and a group of Persian soldiers yawned and opened the gates, cowered and stood up. As time passed, 6 people continued to leave the city, but Chen Baxian and Li Cunzhi still led the three thousand tiger god army to hide in the snow, motionless.

On the city wall, the Persian soldier suddenly rubbed his eyes vigorously, he saw in the distance, there seemed to be white snow rolling, he hurriedly shouted, the officer on duty on the city wall came out, listened carefully, only heard the sound of horses' hooves in the wind and snow, his face was stunned, and immediately shouted to the soldiers beside him, and soon the sound of the enemy's horn echoed over the city.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were stunned when they heard the sound of the horn, and then they came back to their senses and closed the city gate, but they still touched the city gate, and they saw a scene that made their hearts tremble, and in the snow in front of them, one by one, black soldiers broke through the snow, and they held short axes that flashed cold, and then they flew out.

The soldiers guarding the gates screamed in horror, but as soon as they spoke, heavy axes slashed at them, splattering blood, and they fell to the ground, and their bodies were trampled by the soldiers of the Tiger God Army. The Persian soldiers on the city wall were all stunned, and when they looked from the heights, they saw that all the black soldiers in front of the city gate rushed into the city gate in the flying snowflakes.
