The warm sun hung in the sky, and the breath of spring made the entire Mulu City look warm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Many people dressed in fancy costumes are taking advantage of the warm weather to plant crops on the not too fertile land.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Suddenly, the earth began to tremble slightly. Even the water in the bucket used to water the crops began to tremble.

The Persians are also a nation on horseback. This kind of scene is obviously only found when a large number of horses are galloping.

However, although Mulu City is the capital of the Marchianna region, it is too far from the center of the country.

Moreover, since the rest of the empire has always been with the well water of the Yueshi people in the east, the people in Mulu City have never worried about war.

As soon as they thought of the large number of horses, everyone's immediate reaction was that the Yueshi people from the east called.

"Go up to the city walls and close the gates!" Several men in the clothes of soldiers shouted.

However, when they eagerly climbed the city walls, they were shocked by what they saw.

"What's wrong! Could it be that the Yueshi people are calling! ”

At the bottom of the tower, the administrator Cyrus, who had also reacted earlier, roared angrily and hurried up the wall.

The dense black army, like a sea of people, almost filled the entire mountain forest at a glance.

"The Yue Clan has so many troops! Damn it! We were all careless! After being shocked, Cyrus was also the first to react and cursed angrily.

"Nope! It shouldn't be Yue's people! They don't have such a neat contingent and such elaborate armor! At this moment, a soldier's subconscious denial sounded in Cyrus's ears.

"What did you say?" Cyrus lifted the soldier's collar and roared, "They are not from the Yueshi clan, what kind of people are they!" ”

"My lord! I, I don't know who they are. However, the villain has been in contact with the Yueshi people. Although they can fight, most of them are cavalry, and it is impossible to have so many infantry troops! The little soldier trembled and told what he had seen and heard.

"Very good, it seems that you still have some knowledge! Now, I appoint you as the governor here. In any case, keep the people outside the city out! Cyrus patted the soldier on the shoulder and encouraged.

"Yes!" The soldier suddenly puffed out his chest and replied in a loud voice.

"Good job, boys!" Cyrus turned around and waved his hand at the reinforcements who had just arrived below and were still at a loss, looking full of momentum.

However, as soon as he walked out of the city gate, his cronies around him had already prepared their bags and brought fast horses.

"Let's go!" Without the slightest hesitation, Cyrus slapped his horsewhip and galloped towards the west.

He didn't take a single person with him, except for several of his own sons and a dozen guards. For fear of alarming others and shaking the morale of the army, he could not stop the enemy outside the city for him.

Outside the city, the speed of the Qin army has not been sluggish due to the change of territory. In just an hour, more than 100,000 vanguard troops have surrounded the entire Mulu City.

"General, the deployment of the army has been completed. However, the Gentiles seemed intent on surrendering. A lieutenant rode up to a young general and said respectfully.

"It's good to save the siege of the city and destroy the grain." Han Xin glanced at the land in the east of the city that had just sprouted a little green shoot, waved his hand and said.

"But all the men in the city over fifteen and under sixty must be gathered together. The army is about to arrive, and this will be the top priority for the transfer of military rations. Don't miss out! ”

"Whoa!"

The time it took for the Qin army to enter the city and control the entire city was only one day.

And just after the Qin army entered the city, in less than five days, one after another, the black army drove to this land one after another.

However, Cyrus, who had already fled, naturally could not have known that the Qin army still had a large follow-up army.

By the time he fled to the nearby capital of the Mariguya dynasty, Susia, it was almost ten days later.

"You mean, there is a mysterious army from the east, numbering more than 100,000, that has occupied Mulu City?" King Maligua asked, a little incredulous.

Unlike the Qin State, the Anxi Empire at this time was only a confederation state. Within the empire, there were more than a dozen small dynasties. These dynasties were required to pay tribute to the most powerful and royal dynasty, the Assasis dynasty. And in the event of war, it is also necessary to provide soldiers to participate in the war.

This system is somewhat similar to the Huns on the steppe. And the ruler of the Asazis dynasty also has the title of King of kings.

It's just that the difference between the Huns and the Huns is that ordinary Sabbatarians will not participate in any wars at all on weekdays.

Only when the lord of the country gives the order will he take up arms and go to the battlefield.

As a result, both the Assasis dynasty as rulers and other minor vassal dynasties had very few standing armies.

This is also why Mulu City, which is still a big city, will only have a garrison of less than 1,000 people.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Cyrus bowed respectfully and said.

"More than 100,000 people, I'm afraid this matter needs to be reported to the King of kings!" King Maria frowned and said with a somewhat solemn expression.

After Marchiana, the next thing to bear the brunt of is his ancient dynasty of Maria. This also made this king, who usually does not do much, rarely serious.

King Maria was worried that the mighty Qin army could not be defeated by him alone, so although the entire Maria Ancient Dynasty began to get nervous, it did not cross the border of the country.

Such a cautious move gave the Qin army a great opportunity.

The vanguard of the Qin army, plus the follow-up Chinese army, totaled more than 400,000. And these 400,000 people, almost overnight, were dispersed by the arriving coach Bai Qi.

In just two months, a large number of beacon towers and strongholds were erected in the county of Marchiana.

Finally, after two months had passed, the messenger sent by King Maria finally returned from Ctesiphon, the capital of the Assasis dynasty.

In the palace, which was not too big, but it was extremely luxurious, the king of Maligua, taking his messenger who had just returned, asked, "Will the king of kings come with his army?" ”

The messenger shook his head and replied, "The king of kings is getting worse and worse, and the Romans are also in Damascus and have begun to threaten Palmyra. ”

"What!" King Mariagu exclaimed, and said with some despair: "Could it be that the Resting Empire has given up on us? ”

"No!" The messenger's head shook even more violently, and he quickly explained, "The King of kings has sent General Xerxes to gather the soldiers of the surrounding dynasties and provinces to defend against outsiders. ”

"General Xerxes!"

King Maria exclaimed in surprise, and there was even a hint of adoration in his eyes.

Xerxes, the only great general of the Rest Empire. It was also the closest partner of King Artsak, the founder of the Asazis dynasty, and even had the myth of crushing tens of thousands of troops with a weak army.

Xerxes, the great general who was only responsible for dealing with the Romans, came to this remote east. It's something that King Maria couldn't even think of.
