Chapter 887: Threat

Liu Yu kept a clear head. He knew that with the more than 2,000 rabble that he hastily assembled, it was impossible to face the 100,000-strong army under Arshak. The reason why they were able to triumph all the way was that Arshak's army was scattered and defenseless, and on the other hand, Tagina's identity made Arshak's subordinates fearful.

In fact, there is one thing Liu Yu doesn't know, Tagina is also a star-level figure in the Parthian Army, she is the dream lover of many young officers, and when she heard that the opposite side is Tagina's army, she naturally wants to retreat and retreat without a fight.

However, Liu Yu's judgment was generally correct, and he suggested to Tagina that he should get in touch with the Han army in the concession and seek their support.

Tagina was originally in the nature of "playing tickets", so naturally Liu Yu was what he said, so two clever villagers were sent to the concession as messengers.

Word of their commotion soon spread that the Parthians called this army of common people and slaves the Princesses. Not only Jia Xu in the Han Concession had already heard about these things, but even Arkhak in Ekbatana and Vologis and Ardaban in Ctesiphon knew about it.

Because Lu Qiling discovered Bian Zhang and Laura, Jia Xu already knew that Liu Yu was with Tagina, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in Liu Yu's hand was too unique, so without guessing, he could be sure that the Han boy who helped Tagina charge into battle must be Liu Yu. Therefore, before Tagina's envoy arrived at the concession, Jia Xu's envoy had already entered Parthian territory first.

Liu Yu naturally avoided the envoy sent by Jia Xu. However, the envoy did not dwell too much on this and directly proposed an aid package to Tagina. The Han side was willing to provide them with a batch of armor free of charge, but they would not take the initiative to send troops into Parthian territory.

Jia Xu arranged this way mainly because he was fighting everywhere, and he did not have enough mobile troops in his hands. But Jia Xu made it easier for him to allow the civilian army, as well as the Parthian people they were protecting, to withdraw into the concession as a last resort. The purpose of this is, of course, to ensure Liu Yu's safety.

When Arshak learned the news, he only said one sentence: "Tagina has been missing for a long time, this must be a traitor and a fake, don't pay attention to her!" ”

In fact, many of the young officers who fled from the front have confirmed that the girl at the head is Tagina herself, but Arshak has embarked on the road of confrontation with the big man, and he can no longer turn back easily, and of course he can't care about this niece he once loved. Arshak immediately mobilized an army of 30,000 men to bomb the press, which was the largest mobile force he could dispatch.

Vologis learned of this and immediately scolded Ardaban. Although he was old and addicted to wine, he was not confused, and said in a deep voice: "Tagina is much more sensible than you two brothers!" If the Great Han wins, there will be no idea of annexing only Parthia, at least not yet! If Great Qin wins, his next target will definitely be our Parthia. I thought Arshak would understand something, but who knew that he was so confused! Send someone to bring Tagina to me at once, and I will reconcile with the Great Han through her!" ”

Ardaban agreed, but hesitated. According to the information he received, it is still unknown who will die in this war between Han and Qin. Now that the grain road is cut off, I am afraid that the Han army itself will already be in chaos. In this case, Ardaban does not want to completely break the line of Caracalla.

Nevertheless, Ardaban sent an army of 20,000 men. He must first get Tagina back, either in accordance with Vologis' advice, or as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Dahan or Daqin. At this time, Aldaban only has power in his eyes, and he has done whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he has long forgotten his flesh and blood affection.

Liu Yu did not dare to continue to advance according to Tagina's idea, but accepted the armor sent by Jia Xu, organized young people to train day and night, and built a large number of fortifications at the same time.

Sure enough, within a few days, Arshak's army was slaughtered. Although the enemy was outnumbered, the princess army was well prepared, made full use of the favorable terrain and held out, and repelled several attacks by Arshak one after another. However, the casualties of the princess army were also very large, and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers left. In the midst of the crisis, a group of reinforcements arrived, and a fierce battle began outside the village with Arshak's army.

Tagina recognized the banner of that army, which was her father's subordinates, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "Quick, kill out, come and join the outside!" ”

A few days ago, they were still on the offensive of destroying the withering and decaying, but in the past few days, they have been pressed by the officials and troops of Arshak and can't even lift their heads, and these newcomers of the princess army have long been holding back the fire in their stomachs. After listening to Tagina's order, they rushed out of the bunker and joined the battle group brandishing a scimitar, and Liu Yu couldn't stop him if he wanted to.

Although Arshak's army had the advantage in numbers, it was attacked on its back, and for a time the army was in great confusion, and it had to retreat in defeat.

Tagina is a child after all, and she still has a deep attachment to her father, Ardaban. Seeing that his father's reinforcements repelled Arshak's army, he was proud in his heart, and glanced at Liu Yu proudly, which means, your father's men only sent some armor, but my father actually sent an army over.

Liu Yu didn't pay attention to Tagina's expression at all, he was looking down and pondering countermeasures. Originally, it was only estimated that Arshak would send troops, but he did not expect that Ardaban also sent troops, and the two armies also fought. Now that Ardaban's army has won, the question of how to deal with them has become a problem.

Seeing that Liu Yu was silent, Tagina stomped her feet angrily and strode out. Liu Yu was shocked, and hurriedly lifted Fang Tian's halberd to chase after him, but it was too late.

On the battlefield, Ardaban's army suddenly turned its horse's head and slashed at the princess's army with its sword. The soldiers of the princess army were still immersed in the joy of victory, and they were completely defenseless, and they fell in pools of blood.

This princess army was Tagina's personal soldiers, and she never imagined that her father would do something to her people, so she froze and was surrounded by a group of soldiers without any reaction. She was the daughter of Ardaban, and the soldiers did not dare to harm her, but following Ardaban's orders, they tied her up in a big way.

Although this princess army is only an army composed of a group of Parthian peasants, these days, Liu Yu has personally organized them to train, and he has passed the addiction of a general, and he also has a certain affection for each other. Seeing that the soldiers who were still alive a few days ago fell one after another under the enemy's scimitar, and Tagina was also caught by those people, Liu Yu couldn't help but be angry from his heart, roared, and waved Fang Tian's halberd to rush over and kill him.

How were the soldiers under Ardaban Liu Yu's opponents, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty people were stabbed down by him, and the rest of the people did not stay away and did not dare to approach.

At this moment, a Parthian general suddenly drew a sword, put it on Tagina's neck, and threatened loudly: "Hurry up and put down your weapon, or I will kill her!" ”
