Tianlu City became more and more prosperous, and Su Le's fame grew, so he proclaimed himself the King of Xia, which was equivalent to establishing a kingdom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Han Dynasty had a great influence on China, and the main ethnic group in China was called the Han nation. But before that, the "Xia Dynasty" was also a very influential dynasty, this place in China has another name for China, Xia, and Huaxia, and during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although the princes were based on one side, they were also collectively called Zhuxia to the outside world.

In addition to the above reasons, this place is still relatively hot compared to the Central Plains, which makes Su Le feel like a hot summer.

Just as Su Le was gathering strength in the summer land, the opportunity for expansion was in front of him.

There is a weak country in India, that is, in the northern part of the Tianzhu Kingdom, and somewhere between this country and Tianlu City, there is a small lord who has dealings with Su Le, and he suggests that Su Le take the opportunity to march west and besiege the city of Delhi, so that he can expand his territory to North India.

Although Su Le was not fully prepared, with himself and two princesses, Athena and Izuki Sugiko, it was not so difficult to take Delhi. So Su Le led a small number of elite troops, and then gathered some local troops who surrendered to him and began to attack Delhi City.

In fact, it was relatively easy to take Delhi City, because in addition to Su Le leading the army to attack Delhi City from the southeast, there were also people from the northwest who attacked Delhi City.

This is a country centered on the city of Ghul, and ********, the whole people believe in the Zarathu, and they have not attacked the city of Delhi once or twice.

The lord of Delhi saw that he could not hold it, so he simply surrendered to Su Le, in addition to hating the Gur country, Su Le also offered more favorable conditions. As long as the other party surrenders and cedes Delhi City, there is no need for them to worry about dealing with the Gur Kingdom in the future.

In the face of the city of Derry, which was defended by Su Le, the army of the Gur Kingdom had no choice but to retreat. However, just when Sule thought that he could consolidate his rule over the land, the kingdom of Gur once again gathered a large army to lay siege to Delhi.

This time the army was led by a general named Gree, who was also the king's younger brother, and was a very difficult fellow to deal with. Su Le and Izuki Shanzi's rockets pose little threat to them, and in this low-martial world, the rockets of the two of them cannot be launched indefinitely.

Gree's elite camel cavalry was not afraid of Su Le's allies at all, and soon these motley troops were defeated. Although it is not his own elite troops, but if it continues like this, it will also increase the enemy's morale and destroy his prestige, so Su Le will contain all the troops into Delhi City to defend it.

In the following months, Su Le controlled the government affairs of Tianlu City remotely, and at the same time led the army with Izumu Shanzi to attack. In the process of the surprise attack, Su Le had fought with Gree several times, this burly man could barely tie with Su Le, but Izuki Shanzi was afraid that something would happen to Su Le, and he was often very close to Su Le, and if the husband and wife attacked, Gree was not an opponent at all.

Although Gree was defeated, they were mainly camel cavalry, and after retreating into the desert area, Su Le had no way to pursue and annihilate.

In fact, Su Le is not completely helpless, but his method is outside the battlefield...... The army of the Gur Kingdom is attacking, and the capital must be empty, Su Le has already asked Athena to lead people to do the work, and Gree will definitely not be able to support it for long.

Soon the effect was revealed, it turned out that Athena not only destroyed the city of Gur, but also successfully assassinated the king, and now the kingdom of Gur is in turmoil because of the battle for the throne.

After Athena returned to report the situation, Su Le continued to ask her to inquire about the information in Gur City, while she stayed in Delhi to consolidate her rule, and after everything was arranged, she immediately organized a large army to attack Gul City.

Since it was very difficult to cross the desert terrain and resupply, Su Le only brought a few elite cavalry troops, and the rest of the troops and some local lords were responsible for the supply work.

At this time, Gree had already obtained the power of the Gur Kingdom and became the new king, and it was difficult for Su Le's small forces to break through the Gur City, so he could only harass outside the city and wait for an opportunity.

Su Le was lucky, and the lord of the Gul Kingdom in the Persian region took the initiative to approach Su Le and was willing to form an alliance with Su Le to deal with Gree together.

Of course, Su Le couldn't ask for this, and in order to show his loyalty, the lord named Irudis also sent his daughter to Su Le.

It was obvious that this was a political marriage, and of course Sule had to give Roxana the status of princess, and at this time he could not neglect the Persian woman.

Fortunately, Roxana is a great beauty and has a good personality, and there is no obstacle to this for Su Le now. After a simple wedding, Sule took possession of Roxanne's body on the wedding night.

Although the bride and groom are of similar age, Roxanna is of Aryan descent, so she looks more mature than an Oriental like Sule. Even so, at first Roxana was a little afraid of this "little brother", but soon she relaxed, because Su Le made her feel her tenderness, and later probed the bride's tone by the way.

Roxanna was a wise woman, and after answering some questions truthfully, she suddenly said to Su Le: "You want to test whether my father is loyal to you, in fact, I don't know much about this, but in my opinion, as long as Lord Su Le captures the city of Gur and destroys the kingdom of Gur, he will not break the covenant." ”

"Really...... Then what status do I have to give him after I have acquired this land so that he will not be dissatisfied? Su Le asked.

Roxana replied: "You're asking my father's bottom line, I guess as long as he guarantees his current territory, I heard that Gree didn't get his father's help in the fight for the succession to the throne, and he is looking for someone to replace him." ”

After receiving information from his new wife, Sule continued to fight with Gree west of the Indus River, and soon Irudis's army marched from eastern Persia, and Gree had to retreat to the city of Gul to defend it.

Su Le took the opportunity to wipe out the nearby cities that supported Gree, and many of the lords who originally supported Gree now surrendered to Su Le, so that Gree in Gur City was already on his own.

Originally, Su Le saw that Gree was a general and planned to let him return to work for himself, which made Irudis very nervous and strongly demanded that Gree be put to death.

Su Le also wanted to concentrate his forces on going north to deal with the Mon people, and for the sake of Roxanna's face, he didn't want to make a mistake and make his barrier in Persia a hidden danger. Sule then agreed to Irudis' request and reaffirmed that his interests in eastern Persia would be protected.

……

Su Le understood the hardships of the siege, and after receiving the support of the surrounding lords, he immediately mobilized craftsmen and began to manufacture siege equipment.

The Great Xia Army mainly used two kinds of equipment, one was a trebuchet, so that Su Le and Izuki Shanzi did not have to take a huge risk to use rockets. The other is the siege tower, which is a multi-purpose device that is more complicated.

The siege towers were very tall, with the top on top of the walls, so that soldiers could go up to the top floor to occupy the vantage points and shoot arrows or throw stones into the city. In addition, it was equipped with a hanging rope and hung a large log with an iron hood at the top, which could easily destroy the relatively fragile top of the wall.

With the help of these powerful siege equipment, the city of Gur was finally breached, and Su Le knew that only he could deal with Gree, so he led a group of elite soldiers to rush directly to the palace. Gree knew that the tide was turning, but he didn't run away, but waited for his old rival to arrive at the palace......
