The total land area of Persia is about 1.6 million square kilometers, divided into 30 provinces and more than 980 counties.

Of these provinces, only half of which the Persian king had absolute control, were in the north and west. The other half, mostly insurgent, occupies the Garnbir Highlands in the east, while a small part is controlled by terrorists in the northern Erbuz Mountains.

Thomas led his army from Deberland to Ashgaba.

This Ashgaba is an important province controlled by the rebels, a base for them, and a newly established imperial capital, with a very large armed force, about 800,000 troops amassed.

Originally, Thomas did not want to attack this place directly, because his control of the army was far from enough, less than 400,000, and he could not defeat the rebels.

But Ayaristy forced Thomas to do so, and Thomas had no choice but to lead the army to the battle.

The reason why Ayaristi wants to fight a tough battle with the other party is that her idea is very simple, that is, this place has the largest number of rebel troops, and it can be said that it occupies the absolute rebel strength. Coupled with some of the people who support them, there are millions of them.

Once all these people are killed, how vast will the grievances of these military souls be?

Ayaristi already knew that Zhang Sanxing came to his Persian country purely to rob the army soul and kill people, only if there were enough dead people and the spirit of the unjust soul was strong enough, he could grow rapidly.

In this way, Ayaristi let her father Thomas run directly here. wants to kill everyone here, and wants Zhang Sanxing to absorb those grievances as soon as possible and reshape his true body.

In Ayaristi's opinion, those people are rebels anyway, and it is not a big deal to kill them all, and they do not deserve pity and sympathy. And sympathy is useless, they are not as important as Zhang Sanxing's reshaping of his body.

Even, the soldiers led by Thomas are all in Ayaristi's plan.

It doesn't matter if a person dies, after the war subsides, he can have children and develop again, which is Ayaristi's most direct thought.

Of course, the reason why she dared to directly let Thomas attack Ashgaba was not without consideration.

Under normal circumstances, this battle would have been lost, and Thomas's 400,000 soldiers would never be able to defeat the 800,000 troops in the rebels' lair. However, Ayaristi relies on the Bailunte Oil Company, which has huge energy and sufficient advanced arms to crush the other party.

If you have a heavy weapon to rely on, why are you afraid of the rabble?

The Berantian Oil Company had prepared a large amount of ammunition as early as a month ago, and even spent a lot of money to hire mercenary organizations and killer organizations to cooperate with Thomas's conquest.

Berontea Oil Company has put all its bets on Ayalisti, losing both and winning.

They think about it very simply, and if you want to get a big return, you have to pay an absolute price first. If you don't break the kettle, where can you still move forward?

As for the Persian king, he would never allow Thomas to do so. He didn't know the secret, he couldn't afford to lose the price of defeat, and even issued twelve king's orders to stop it.

However, the generals were not subject to the orders of the foreign army, and Ayaristi was determined to attack Ashgaba, and Thomas naturally would not obey the king's orders.

As for the other high-ranking generals of the Persian state, some of them were bought by Thomas, some were killed, and some were seized by Thomas and coerced so that they did not dare to stop them.

As a result, the entire high-ranking generals of Persia were almost one-sided, and they could not be directed towards Thomas.

Thomas's troops were divided into three routes, he himself led part of his forces from Surrey, his son led part of his army from Hall to Ferdaus, and Ayaristi personally commanded part of his troops to attack from the straight line of Semnan, flanking on three sides, and besieging Ashgaba on three sides.

This time, their three-way army was huge, carrying heavy weapons and sweeping all the way, and if they encountered resistance, they would be killed.

Among the three armies, Ayaristy was the only one who encountered the most obstacles, because she led the largest number of troops, with 200,000 troops, and was the main force.

The rebels wanted to inflict heavy losses on Ayalisti, setting up many checkpoints and sending heavy troops to defend various defensive lines.

It's a pity that Ayaristi is overwhelming, and she almost bloodbathed all the way and killed in the dark. She kills the soldiers she captured alive and her brutal methods more than the terrorist organization, and does her best to inspire their latent resentment.

These military souls are much stronger than ordinary souls, full of resentment, Zhang Sanxing Yuan Shen turned into a ten-zhang high demon head, carrying rolling demonic qi and corpse qi suspended above Ayaristi's head, like a whale swallowing the sea to devour these grievances and strengthen himself.

These demonic and corpse qi are very mysterious, and outsiders look like a dark cloud, as if they are about to rain heavily.

After three months of marching, the armies of all three routes reached the periphery of Ashgaba, and the combined troops gathered here.

At this point, Ayaristi's murderous reputation spread completely, and all Persians knew that she was a complete witch, a witch, ruthless and murderous.

In the new imperial capital of Ashgaba, the leader of the rebel army was worried when he saw that his side was defeated like a mountain and was broken through the defenses of the other side.

He couldn't understand how the opponent's troops of less than 400,000 could hit his imperial capital so easily, and they were divided into three routes, and their forces were not concentrated.

He was very puzzled as to why the senior generals on his side who were guarding the defensive line disappeared and disappeared into thin air at every heavy exchange of fire.

Without the command of a general, the army is like a plate of scattered sand, and it is impossible to effectively defend against the enemy.

He understood very well that it was not that his own troops were not good, nor that the defensive line arranged by his side was imperfect, it was entirely because his troops had no on-site command, and they all became stragglers, and they could only let the other side be slaughtered one by one.

In the council chamber, the entrenched leader and his subordinate generals gathered to discuss how to deal with Ayaristi's onslaught.

In this chamber, there are not many people, only nine people.

Among the nine was a young man, about his early twenties, who was his son.

"Guys, I'm going to make peace with the other party, I don't know what you think?" The leader of the rebels said in a deep voice.

"Peace?"

The other eight frowned, unable to answer.

After a long silence, a general dressed as a military advisor said, "General, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to negotiate peace with them." And on what terms do we negotiate peace? ”

"Divide Persia equally."

The rebel leader kept tapping his fingers on the table and said slowly: "Judging from the current situation, they must be more than those forces on the surface, they have definitely invited the mercenary organization and the killer group, otherwise why would the combat commander of our side disappear inexplicably?" Only they were all killed by the killers, so the defenses we put in place could not withstand their attacks.

In addition, I estimate that they have the full support of a certain big consortium, and their arms and weapons and equipment are much more advanced than ours, and it is even rumored that they also have nuclear weapons, which should not have appeared at all. That's the way it is, and that's telling.

Moreover, I think that Thomas was very ambitious, and he certainly did not want to be a simple general, and he would definitely seize the position of king of Persia after his success.

Now we still have the absolute strength to defend and have the conditions for negotiation. If we continue to fight, even if we defeat them, our losses will definitely be not small, at least half of them.

In this way, some other small forces will also take advantage of the situation, and at that time, it will be difficult for us to act. ”

Looking at the overall situation, the rebel leader quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, analyzed the current situation, and made a general judgment.

When all the generals heard this, they all felt that there was some truth.

The other party should be the same as themselves, they are also rebels, but they have not yet shown the banner of rebels on the surface.

Now that everyone is a rebel, why not shake hands and make peace? It's better to divide the country and the society evenly than to fight to the death and let others take advantage of it, right?

"It's okay to say yes, but I don't know if they'll agree. Also, we need to be fully prepared to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation. One of the generals said.

"It's okay, I've just ordered all the men in the city to be on standby. In the event of a failure of word and death, these men will be our new force. In this way, our military strength will directly increase by more than 3 million. If the time comes, those women can also fight.

These men and women are untrained and have no fighting qualities, but if they have weapons in their hands, they are still a force to be reckoned with.

Thomas: There are only about 350,000 troops left on their side, and we can consume them when the time comes, and if they have some brains, then they should be able to make peace. The rebel leader replied.

"Perhaps!"

All the generals were not very optimistic about the matter of peace, and thought that it was still the king to suppress the confrontation with superior forces.

At that moment, the general who looked like a military advisor said: "General, there is something I don't understand very much. ”

"What's the matter?" The rebel leader asked.

"I have always felt that we are not rebels, but the army of the people of Persia, and that Thomas is the authentic rebel army, a terrorist." The military advisor said.

"Huh? What do you mean by that? The rebel general was puzzled.

"General, although we are rebels, disobeying the king, and want to overthrow the king's regime, our methods are relatively normal, right? Although we have done a lot of things that threaten to kill civilians, the overall impact has not been very large. There are only a thousand or so innocent people who died.

But if you look at Thomas, Thomas and his military genius son Atoman don't mention it for the time being, just talk about his daughter Ayaristi.

The woman's actions are simply outrageous, even more horrific than terrorists. After several battles, she slaughtered all the captives and soldiers, not to mention only the civilian people who had supported us.

These people, both men and women, Ayaristi peeled their skins and cramped, cut off their heads, and left not a single one. There are even rumors that there is cannibalism in the army under her control, and she forces the people to eat each other. According to preliminary statistics, at least more than 3 million people died at her hands.

These civilians all hoisted white flags and surrendered when our army was defeated, but Ayaristi ignored it and blindly killed people. And she did not accept any prisoners at all, did not accept surrender.

Judging from my experience of fighting for more than 40 years, this woman is not here to trouble us at all, her ultimate goal is only to kill, and the more she kills, the happier she becomes, which is a strange approach. ”
