"The current strength should be enough!" The king of Wuyi Mountain said melancholy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My lord, I don't think we should have any luck! The Wei army is strong! Let's just talk about the Wei army in front of you, their combat power is no worse than ours! And this Wei army is nothing more than a local garrison of the Wei people, not even a second-rate army! This battle is very important to us, and if it is not good, it may be the destruction of Rulou! So we have to give it our all!! ”

The King of Wuyi Mountain frowned, "Damn! All right! Just listen to you! Immediately send an order to the country, and all the reserve men and horses will enter the Wusun front! ”

"Yes!"

On this day, the second phase of the war on the Western Front was about to begin.

Cao Cao's army of 450,000 had arrived in a small town just over 50 miles from Ekbatana.

The army came to a halt here.

Akbatana is located in the northeast of Qinxifeng nearly 100 miles, together with Qinxifeng City and Susa City in the south, it forms the richest triangle in the entire Assyrian region, compared to Qinxifeng in the west, it is the front line fortress and barrier, it is not impossible for the army from the west to bypass Qinxifeng, but it must pass through the endless sea of sand, which is an extremely difficult task for the army of this era.

"Your Majesty, this is the flying pigeon biography that Zilong just sent!" Just as Cao Cao was about to eat, Dian Wei came in to report.

Cao Cao put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the handbook, read it, nodded and smiled: "Zilong did a good job!" ”

Then he frowned, "But the losses of our army are really not small!" ”

In the middle of the night that night, Cao Cao was still standing in front of the sand table thinking about the war in front of him, Zhang Liao hurried to the big tent, saw Cao Cao who was contemplating, couldn't help but relax his steps, came to Cao Cao's side, and said softly: "Your Majesty, urgent military situation!" ”

Cao Cao frowned, and subconsciously had a bad premonition.

He took the book from Zhang Liao's hand, read it quickly, and was shocked, "This Roman army must have come from the desert!" ”

Zhang Liao nodded, "It must be so!" Otherwise, they would not have been able to suddenly appear outside Ekbatana and make a surprise attack! ”

"I'm negligent! I can't imagine that the Roman army would dare to make such a bold move! Wen Yuan, you immediately lead a cavalry to collect the rout! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, what about this side? ”

Cao Cao said: "There are Meng Qi, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu here, you can rest assured!" ”

"No! The end will be retired! With that, he hurried out of the tent.

Cao Cao pulled down the banner planted on Ekbatana to represent the Wei army and the Karen Sa army and planted it in his current position. He immediately planted several flags representing the Roman army on Ecbatana, frowned, and said, "Damn! I didn't expect such a sudden change to happen! In this way, the situation will be unfavorable for our army! ”

At about the same moment, Emperor Caracalla, who was far away in the Roman army camp under the city of Qinxifeng, received an urgent report from Yushchenko, also about Ekbatana.

Caracalla was overjoyed, and immediately issued a decree to reward all the soldiers who participated in the battle, and ordered the promotion of the leading general Batra to the general, who was originally a general under Yusuf, which made him famous in the first battle, and also became another great general of the Roman Empire.

Caracalla received such good news and fell asleep, so he called the generals to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received good news from General Batra!" Caracalla paused, glancing at the generals.

The generals couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and secretly said: 'Good news? Where's the good news? Prior to this, Caracalla had not made it public about Batra's raid on Ekbatana across the desert.

Caracalla raised the flying pigeon in his hand, and couldn't suppress his excitement and said: "General Batra led the main force of the 150,000 empire to raid Ekbatana, and now Ekbatana has returned to our hands!" ”

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and then they turned their heads and ears, and everyone looked very happy.

"Your Majesty, in this way, Qin Xifeng's support will be cut off!!" One of the generals was extremely excited.

Caracalla nodded, "Not bad! General Schneider, what do you think we should do next? ”

Schneider pondered, "At present, the army of the Emperor of Wei is not far from Ekbatana!" If he is not willing to give up Qin Xifeng, then he can only lead the crowd to attack Ekbatana! Then the situation of the battlefield is divided into two parts, the main attack of our army in the west, and the defense of the Wei army and the rebels; And the east side is the other way around!! ”

Caracalla frowned and said, "In this case, this battle is still undecided!" ”

Schneider said: "It is true that the winner is not scored!" The outcome of this war depends on who can break through the barriers in front of them first!! ”

Karakala pondered for a moment and asked, "Can I give Ekbatana more troops?" ”

Schneider shook his head, "No! In order to ensure that the 150,000 Imperial troops of Batra successfully cross the desert, we have collected all the camels and other camels that can be collected around! Without camels, it would have been impossible for the army to cross the desert!! ”

Caracalla frowned and said, "In this way, they will have to rely on themselves!" ”

Schneider nodded and said with relief: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much!" Although there are many under the command of the Emperor of Wei, all of them are the second-line troops of the Wei army, and the combat strength of the only main force, the Eighth Army, is not outstanding! And the 150,000 troops under General Batra are all the elite of the empire, and there are 10,000 Spartan soldiers among them! ”

Caracalla nodded, "Not bad!" These 150,000 troops will definitely be able to withstand the offensive of the Wei army! ”

Caracalla turned around abruptly and raised his voice with a proud face: "From tomorrow onwards, we will attack Qin Xifeng day and night!" Qin Xifeng must be conquered before the Wei army! ”

"Yes!" The generals agreed in unison.

"Tell all the soldiers that the first one to attack the Zhishuo, whether it is a soldier or a general, is the lord of Qin Xifeng!!"

The generals' eyes lit up and they shouted, "Yes!! ”

Early the next morning, the Roman army launched another onslaught on Qinxifeng. It is no longer known how many times the Romans attacked.

The Romans rushed towards the city walls under the cover of catapults with all kinds of siege engines, like a surging tide.

Half an hour later, the Roman artillery concentrated their fire on the wall on the north side of the city gate and collapsed a wall, and then tens of thousands of Roman soldiers poured in this direction like a flood of floods.

The armies of both sides crowded together in the collapse and fought desperately, the shouts and screams were earth-shattering, the cold light of the blades made the sun in the sky lose its color, and the eyes were full of blood, and the dead soldiers continued to fall from the city wall like drops of water at the eaves, and the reinforcements of both sides were constantly converging in this direction.

The fierce battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and the Romans rushed to the city walls. At this time, the corpses of the soldiers on both sides were stacked on the slope formed by the collapsed city wall, and the entire bricks of the city were stained dark red with blood, and the rebels who were forced to the city wall by the Roman army all looked terrified.

Reinforcements from the Roman army came up and continued to storm the rebels and Wei troops on the city walls.

Zhao Yun simply withdrew all the Karen Army, and at the same time, the soldiers of the Xiongnu Legion and the Fifth Legion went up.

Once again, the war has entered a stalemate.

The two sides fought fiercely on the collapsed city wall, and the scene was extremely tragic, and everyone's eyes were blood-red, as if they were crazy.

The sound of the battle made people shudder, and the rain of blood in the sky turned the scorching sun into blood red.

Such a fierce battle lasted for nearly an hour, and the exhausted soldiers of both sides invariably chose a temporary truce.

Cao Cao's personal commander of 500,000 troops arrived at the city of Ekbatana, of which 50,000 were the defeated troops from Akbatana collected by Zhang Liao, and the defeated troops from Akbatana were not only 50,000, the rest retreated to the city of Susa in the south, and the troops that originally garrisoned Akbatana were mainly Western Regions Alliance Army and Xiongnu legion soldiers.

The Wei army set up a joint camp for more than ten miles outside the city of Akbatana.

Cao Cao, supported by the Imperial Forest Army led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, ascended to a hill outside the city of Ekbatana.

The hill, less than three miles from Ekbatana, was very high, but not steep, and was densely wooded, and the Romans had placed a sentry post on it before the Wei army arrived, but hastily withdrew when they saw the Wei army coming.

Cao Cao looked into the city and saw many Roman soldiers shuttling back and forth quickly in the city; There were all kinds of heavy equipment, rolling stones and sasswoods were transported to the city wall, and there was not a single person in the city, and the atmosphere was very tense.

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of enemies in the city!?" Xu Chu frowned.

Cao Cao nodded, "It seems that the previous information was not accurate!" I think there should be three legions of Roman legions in this city! And looking at the momentum of these armies, they should be very elite regular legions! ”

Xu Chu's heart moved, and he asked, "Could it be the so-called 'Spartan Legion'?!" ”

Cao Cao smiled, shook his head and said, "No! The Spartan legions should be stronger than them! ”

After a pause, "That's it! We could go back! ”

The Roman general Batra couldn't help but feel heavy when he looked at the camp outside the city, which stretched like a forest for more than ten miles, and he knew that he had to resist the Wei army's offensive before Qin Xifeng's Wei army collapsed, which was by no means an easy task.

"General!" One of the generals came to Batra and saluted.

Batra glanced at him and asked, "Is it all arranged?" ”

The general replied: "It's all arranged!" The catapults have all entered the position, and the responsibility for the defense of each army has been clarified! ”

"Excellent! Go down and rest! ”

"Yes!" The general promised, but hesitated.

"Are you okay?" Batra asked.

"General, the Wei army outside the city is all second-rate or even third-rate troops of the Wei army, and the Emperor of Wei is outside the city! As! The general looked a little impulsive. (To be continued.) )
