Outside the city of Susia, a steady stream of Persian warriors gathered has already excited the ancient king of Maria. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The royal palace of Susya was already filled with generals from various dynasties and provinces. However, only one of these people can live in the harem, which is almost gilded.

And this person is just an old man who looks dying.

At this time, in addition to glancing at the increasing number of soldiers outside the city every day, what the ancient king of Maria had to do every day was to go to Xerxes to offer public opinion.

And the general Xerxes did not seem to be tired of the disgusting words of King Marya, and would smile and talk to him for a while each time.

This also made King Maria more and more proud. Even, compared to before, the head is higher.

After all, Anxi is not a country with extremely strong centralized power like the Qin State. By the time Arshak's order spread throughout the dynastic provinces and the gathering of soldiers, it took nearly two months.

Two months later, when the 300,000 rest soldiers gathered together, they all looked at their commanders with a hint of enthusiasm.

"Let's go."

However, just as they were expecting Xerxes to say something inspiring, the aged Xerxes simply spat out a word in a low voice, like a real old man.

Although the soldiers were disappointed, no one dared to raise the slightest objection. Because, that man is the great general of their Resting Empire, Xerxes.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The sound of horses' hooves resounded over the wasteland.

As said before, the Sabbaths are a people on half horseback. Among the 300,000 troops, there were more than 200,000 cavalry.

Especially under the leadership of Xerxes, the momentum of these cavalry was not even inferior to that of the original Huns.

"What's that?" Facing the strong sunlight, Xerxes narrowed his eyes and pointed to a thick wisp of black smoke in the sky and looked at King Maria and asked.

Hearing this, King Maria also shook his head suspiciously, and said, "It looks like it's on fire." However, there should be no city there! ”

"Really?" Xerxes narrowed his eyes, then waved his horsewhip and said, "You are waiting here for my orders!" Guards, come with me! ”

The aged Xerxes, as if he had become a young man at this moment, took the lead, leading more than a thousand cavalry, and rushed in the direction of the black smoke.

"Enemy found in the southwest! The previous guess was correct, evacuate immediately and report back! ”

On the high beacon tower, a general of the Qin army, who looked like a team, shouted downward.

Soon, in a small beacon tower, several more soldiers of the Qin army, leading their horses, rushed out.

The team was discovering Xerxes, and Xerxes could naturally notice the beacon tower that was burning high with black smoke.

Looking at the unique beacon tower, Xerxes had a slight glint of interest in his eyes.

"Catch them, I'm going to ask for information!" Xerxes pointed to several Qin scouts who were heading east, ordering his guards.

"Yes!" The guards suddenly whipped their horses, and their speed increased by a few knots again, chasing them in the direction where the Qin soldiers had fled.

Xerxes and the guards of the brigade stopped in front of the beacon tower.

"It's a pity that such craftsmen come to participate in the war." Xerxes lightly held on to the beacon tower without any gaps, and couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard again in the distance. However, to Xerxes's surprise, the guards returned empty-handed this time.

No, I think I only brought back a few pairs of armor and a long sword. As for the people, I didn't see any.

"General, they launched a decisive counterattack, and we can only dispose of them." The guard bowed his head and handed the armor and sword in his hand to Xerxes.

Xerxes nodded, took the armor and sword from the guards, and said, "Very beautiful weapons, although a little heavier than our armor, but our swords are not as sharp as theirs. ”

"General, it seems that to the east of us, there is another opponent no less than Rome!" The guard said with some concern.

Xerxes nodded, his cloudy eyes revealing a hint of shrewdness.

"Your Majesty is right. Fortunately, I came, otherwise, with those proud fellows in Ctesiphon, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop it when the time comes! ”

The guards bowed their heads again, and in the hierarchical resting empire, such words could only be said by people like Xerxes.

"Let's go, we're going to give the enemy a blow before they react!" Xerxes handed the armor and other things in his hand to the guards, turned his horse's head and said.

Soon, the stagnant army of rest set out again. However, they haven't even gotten a few miles out of the field. In the distance, black smoke appeared again in the sky.

Moreover, this time there is more than one black smoke, there are three lines.

"You guys! Check it out! Xerxes frowned, pointing to the guards who had set off with him earlier.

"Yes!"

The guards answered, and soon returned. It's just that this time, all the guards had a strange look on their faces.

"Say!" Xerxes, frowning, let out a low sigh, obviously, his expression was not very good.

"General, it's the same building as before. Moreover, it is almost exactly the same as the previous one. Not only that, but the villain climbed the building and found that in the distance, there was also black smoke......"

"Have we been discovered?" Xerxes lowered his head and pondered.

Soon, however, he did raise his head again and asked King Maria behind him, "Where is the nearest city?" ”

In just an instant, Xerxes went from a gentle cat to a bloodthirsty lion.

The ancient king of Maria was a little overwhelmed by such a huge change, and could only reply tremblingly: "There is a city in the east and a city in the north, and the horse is very fast!" ”

After hearing the words of the ancient king of Marya, Xerxes immediately shouted: "Go! ”

Although the Rest Empire, or the West as a whole, does not have a set of well-formed textbooks on war theory. However, with decades of battlefield experience, Xerxes knew that his plan to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to attack a sneak attack had failed.

Failure to capture a city before the enemy is ready to defend it will be a serious blow to morale. In the future, it will be even more difficult to fight those enemies.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves echoed across the earth.

When Xerxes arrived at the nearest city with tens of thousands of light horsemen, he was once again stunned by what he saw.

"Which bastard repaired this city in front of you!" Xerxes asked, staring murderously at King Maria with red eyes.

It's just a small city, but it has high walls, and in front of the city gate, another urn city was built. Not only that, but an extremely wide ditch was dug.

Is it necessary for a small town to be so luxurious?

"General, General. This city was not like this before! There are no ditches, and there is no strange thing in front of the city gates! King Maria hurriedly waved his hand.

"To the north, to another city!" Xerxes made a quick decision and ran towards the north again.

However, when he arrived, an even more exaggerated city appeared in front of him.

This time, however, Xerxes didn't even have the anger to get angry. He could only grit his teeth, wave his hand, and signal his subordinates to evacuate first.

Xerxes, who was a man of rest, had the impression that it was impossible to build a city without a few years of preparation. Even reinforcements like this would take more than a year.

However, the two cities in front of him were not only reinforced, but even had so many defensive buildings. And the small buildings that smoke one by one, almost every one of them are made of stone, how much manpower and time does it take?

Is it because the craftsmen in this country are extremely developed, or are they adequate?

Thinking about it, Xerxes only had these two explanations in his mind.

What Xerxes didn't know, however, was that these were only the outermost cities.

As the base camp of the Qin army in the future to face the Rest Empire, the original Mulu City, the capital of Marchiana, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Since Yingzheng woke up and suppressed the rebellion of the Six Kingdoms. The leaderless Mo family was annexed by the empire.

In front of the bronze opening, the Gong Yi family and the Mo family organs who walked in wood and stone, these are just small meanings.
