CHAPTER 60 CONDITIONS
Two days later, when the cavalry archers led by Ling Zifeng entered the city, they were greeted like heroes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Prince Ganesa excitedly greeted him at the city gate, and he looked at the crowd and praised loudly: "Great, you are miracles." ”
Ling Zifeng looked at the excited Ganesa, and said a little tiredly: "Your Royal Highness, please allow the warriors to go and have a good meal first, so that they can rest for a while." ”
"No problem! Absolutely! Prince Ganesha's voice trembled.
He instructed his entourage and continued, "They are the greatest warriors and deserve the highest reward. ”
Because of the constant reports of the scouts for the past few days, the people of Babylon already knew all this, and they were horrified and amazed that this terrible tactic had actually worked a miracle in five days.
With a cavalry of 500 people, the miracle of annihilating nearly 10,000 people. This kind of record is too incredible, but all this is the truth in front of everyone's eyes.
On top of that, they slowed down the march of the Persian army, so that the Persians must have arrived in Babylon later than expected.
Prince Ganesa watched as the warriors had gone down to eat and rest, and he turned to Mo Sandi and said, "Sister, do you know? The Persians have given you the nickname of the ghost of Babylon. ”
Mo Sandi asked with interest, "Oh, there is such a thing?"
The prince of Ganesha excitedly said, "Yes, the Persians think that you come and go like ghosts. I heard that they have long been frightened by you, and they are marching in fear, afraid that you will suddenly appear again. ”
Ling Zifeng couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say this. His tactics are a perverted tactic that swept across the Eurasian continent after a thousand years, and it is naturally invincible to face the ancient Persians.
He was not afraid that the Persians would learn this terrible tactic in the short term, because the Persians didn't even have stirrups, so they didn't want to play any horse archery at all.
On the contrary, it was Babylon, who had taught him how to make stirrups, and now he had learned the terrifying tactics of mounted archery.
It is conceivable that as long as the Babylonians gain a foothold, sooner or later they will become the overlords of this continent.
Of course, the premise here is that they must defend the city of Babylon.
The Persians, though delayed, did not hurt their vitality, and sooner or later they would come to attack the city.
。。。。。。
Three days later, the Persian army appeared in Ling Zifeng's field of vision.
He stood at the head of the city and looked at the Persians all over the mountains, and found that there were indeed more people who came this time than in front of the hot springs in those years, and it seemed that the army of 400,000 was not a lie.
These Persians are really honest, saying that there are as many people as there are, where like ancient China often exaggerated the number of troops, it seems that the new king of Persia dispatched the power of the whole country, I think he is ready to take advantage of the momentum of this war, to establish authority to the world.
Ling Zifeng couldn't help frowning, thinking that there were only more than 100,000 defenders in the city now, and the reinforcements were hurrying all the way, and the morale would definitely not be very high.
If the Persians had recklessly forced the city, the city of Babylon would still be in danger. The only good news was that the reinforcements of the nobles and the Greek city-states were less than a day's journey away.
It is said that King Leonidas personally led the team, and the morale of the team was high. However, their support was still a little late, and it seems that once the Persians had gathered, they would immediately begin to attack the city.
Looking at the Persian army preparing to storm the city, the prince of Ganesha was anxious.
He frowned and asked the people around him, "Is there any other way you can delay them for another day, and wait for another day for reinforcements to arrive!" ”
Everyone looked at each other and no one answered, and Ling Zifeng was also frowning and uneasy. In the current situation, there is no tactical strategy to take advantage of.
Faced with the imminent attack of the Persian army, Ling Zifeng struggled to think of a way to deal with it. Sing "Empty City Plan" again? "Certainly not, the new king of Persia is now not aiming at conquest, but at establishing power.
Besides, they are coming from afar, and they will definitely attack desperately, and delaying time will not be good for them. If the gates were opened, the Persians would not care if there were ambushes or not.
According to this speculation, the new king of Persia should be a soft and hard guy who does not eat oil and salt. In order to achieve the goal of Liwei, he will definitely attack the city of Babylon by any means.
In this way, their situation is really dangerous, unless 。。。。。。
Thinking of this, Ling Zifeng suddenly recalled some scenes from the Battle of Hot Spring Pass four years ago. At that time, Xerxes repeatedly persuaded the Spartans to surrender, and did not forget to persuade them until the last moment.
But now, the new king of Persia did not give them any room for negotiation, because this time he did not even send an envoy, which was diametrically opposed to the style of his father Xerxes.
Ling Zifeng secretly pondered, this was very illogical.
Every war has a purpose, either for the country or for the beauty.
However, as a qualified leader, it is impossible to start a war for personal likes and dislikes, and there are definitely interests involved behind it. Therefore, the war waged by the new king of Persia was also aimed at recovering Babylon.
What's the name of this new king? "Ten yarns" is indeed a strange name. The Ten Yarn Kings waged this war with the aim of recovering it.
So he can't really be desperate for Liwei. At least he had to aim to take the city of Babylon, not kill everyone in it.
Ling Zifeng thought, as long as the true purpose of the ten yarns was similar to what he guessed. Then he has a way to delay a little bit.
It's just that this method is very dangerous.
Thinking of this method, Ling Zifeng stepped forward and said to the prince of Ganesha: "Let me act as a Babylonian envoy, go and pretend to surrender to the Persians, and then delay time to act when the opportunity arises." ”
Without thinking about it, the prince hurriedly stopped: "How can this work? The Persians are now only thinking about destroying us, where surrender will be accepted, and there is only a dead end for you to go! ”
Ling Zifeng shook his head and said: "They are not sure of victory, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger and they can't advance or retreat, so they will choose to forcibly attack the city as a last resort, and they are also ready to seize the time difference." ”
Prince Ganesa insisted: "But I always feel that this is too dangerous, and it will be more than bad luck to go to the enemy position, you are our great benefactor, and I can't watch you die." ”
A burst of warmth swelled in Ling Zifeng's heart, because according to the calculation of pure interests, his life and death were actually insignificant for a war, and it seemed that the little prince was also a sentient person.
I don't know if he will leave this love behind when he becomes a king in the future.
However, now is not the time to think about these questions, Ling Zifeng collected his thoughts and said strongly: "If you hesitate for a moment, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people here will be in jeopardy. ”
"Don't hesitate any longer, if my life can be exchanged for victory, it will be worth it."
Having said that, in fact, Ling Zifeng was not so righteous in his heart, because he knew that "interests are at risk", and now if he wants to obtain the luck value, he can only make an idea from the new king of Persia.
Therefore, he showed a generous appearance, in fact, he wanted to find an opportunity to get close to the Persian king. As long as he waits for the opportunity to kill the new king, the luck will naturally be there!
At that time, you can directly teleport back to the main god space, and you don't have to worry about your own safety.
And the matter of fooling Mo Sandi as a teammate, you can wait for him to return to the main god space safely, and then exchange time to come back to do this, there is no need to worry now.
The prince listened to what he said, lowered his head and pondered and hesitated, he didn't want Ling Zifeng to go to Fan Wei at all, but the current situation no longer allowed him to hesitate.
Mo Sandi listened to Ling Zifeng's suggestion, she stood up excitedly and looked at Ling Zifeng and said, "Brother Ling, this plan is too crazy, I... I... ”
