Chapter 231: Crowded

Who would want to have an old fox by their side? The big baths in Rome are already full of pot-bellied politicians, enough to annoy people to death.

"Elder Yu Zhenzi is really powerful!" Alexander raised his glass and touched it lightly, "It's a pity, no matter how accurate your guess is, you can't change anything, can you give me a spaceship? Let's talk about the actual thing!"

"Isn't it practical to divide Parthia? The Parthian army is not strong, the Kushan has an invincible southern expeditionary army, once it is opened, Parthia will definitely be defeated, and the Sassanids will not sit idly by, they will also attack, Parthia has no hope at all. Yu Zhenzi analyzed.

He then changed his words and added: "The Parthian regions of Seleucia and Babylonia are the source of the wealth of Parthia, the core of which is a cornucopia of commerce, and the latter the richest grain-producing regions of the two river basins.

Rome, Sasansani, Kushan, no one is convenient to monopolize this place, the old man thought, it is better to set up a new country, a country that acts as a buffer, small but strong, and hand it over to a nobleman who is recognized by all parties to manage, and let him become a king, like you... Our King Alexander. ”

Alexander burst out laughing, loud and resolute, and the guards downstairs were startled by the laughter, and hurriedly climbed up the stairs, glanced upstairs, and saw that the emperor was not in danger, and hurried back again.

......

At the north gate, the siege began.

Azar charged with his own soldiers, carrying an iron spear on his back, and climbed the ladder to the top of the ladder, and was stabbed into the city with the ladder.

When a line of spears stabbed at the Praetorian army, he jumped to his feet, threw himself down from the wall, and used the iron spear as a stick, smashing the head of one of the defenders' soldiers and smashing the bronze helmet.

He took advantage of the situation to stand on his heels, grabbed the neck of the soldier who had just died with his left hand backhand, used his corpse as a shield, and the iron spear in his right hand danced in the wind, although the spears of those forbidden troops were longer than those of Adjar, but the wooden pole of the spear could not withstand the smashing of the iron spear, and broke again and again.

In these years, soldiers can use standard bronze weapons are considered high-end goods, although iron tools appeared in the time of Alexander the Great of Macedon, but there are still a few that can be equipped with iron tools. In Europe, many barbarians still used stone axes, stone hammers, and stone spears.

Therefore, Hazard's iron spear, which is full of wrought iron, is very dazzling and can be described as luxurious.

Another characteristic of this iron spear is that it is heavy, because the whole body is wrought iron and the spear head is thick, so a spear is smashed, like an iron hammer, and it is not broken when it is blocked with a wooden pole spear, and most of the soldiers of the forbidden army are not equipped with shields, and they cannot resist it except waiting for death when they are smashed by Azar.

An iron spear like this is difficult for ordinary people to hold with both hands for a long time, and only Hazard can grasp it with one hand, and can also smash the spurs, playing a tiger's game.

The forbidden army couldn't stop Hazard's iron spear, so they had to retreat step by step, and the ladder behind Hazard soon came up with more personal soldiers, these people were all veterans, and their combat power was much higher than that of the forbidden army.

Riding on a horse, Taha watched in disbelief as the forbidden army retreated, some of which had even retreated under the city walls.

He could hardly believe his eyes, and felt completely incomprehensible, how could the soldiers of the forbidden army that he had trained single-handedly collapse at the touch of a button? This elite division, which usually seemed to be super powerful in combat, actually didn't even hold out for half an hour, and the flag had already been changed at the head of the northern city.

"Quick... Go to the east of the city and contact the god Kusubro, and tell him to come to our rescue!" Taha ordered with some panic, "Let all the soldiers gather at the gate of the city, guard the gate, guard the gate, and never let the cavalry rush in." “

"What about my slave troops? Call them in, counterattack, counterattack now. ”

At the top of the city, a forbidden soldier was pushed down, screaming and falling to his death under the city walls. Hazard commanded his troops and attacked the city gates from a high position along the city ladder.

The slave army came up, bare-chested, with shackles around their necks, with a small round shield in one hand and a short spear or stone axe in the other, and a total of more than 500 slaves poured into the staircase, and they pounced on Adzar like wild beasts under the whip of the Praetorian army.

The duel unfolded, this time it was the real guys, and the individual combat power of those slaves was definitely higher than that of the forbidden army. The two sides fought fiercely like gladiators in the gladiatorial arena. Hazard's own soldiers were small in number, but they were well armed. Most of them are scimitars with round shields, scimitars are very good for slashing, and they can bypass the shield to stab people in the back of the face, so even if there are fewer people, they still have a little upper hand.

The Praetorian Army began to regroup in the rear, and Taha urged his horses to take command of himself closer to the front line.

In the sky, the Apostle hid silently high in the sky. Zhang Bai was lying in front of the porthole, carefully observing the ground.

He couldn't hear the screams on the ground, and he couldn't see how each soldier was fighting and bleeding, all he could see was two streams of people colliding on the ground.

"It's a little hard to see, shouldn't the ship descend a little?" he thought, but he was very concerned about the safety of the ship, and after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to descend. "If only there was a telescope!"

There should be one in the dream world, and I have to find a way to find it in the future.

To the naked eye, it should have been Adjara's army on the walls, as the crowds were coming into the walls from outside the walls.

Instead, under the walls became Taha's forbidden army, and they seemed to be unable to stop Hazard. Outside the city, there were quite a few cavalrymen, waiting to open the city gates.

"Hazard's number doesn't seem to be enough?" Zhang Bai muttered.

Hazard's manpower is indeed insufficient, after all, he can't put all his personal soldiers into the siege battle, the cavalry outside the city still needs to be led, there are only more than 400 veterans, and only about 200 people go to the city.

These people, with their skillful cooperation, brave personnel, and the courage of Eden Azhar himself, were okay to deal with the forbidden army, but as soon as the five hundred slave troops came up, they were a little unbearable, and the speed of progress was slow, and the forbidden army won time to rectify the ranks.

The two armies entered the mode of a war of attrition, and in the war, this is the mode that the side with fewer numbers fears the most.

At this time, the stunned forbidden army finally came to its senses, and a large number of soldiers gathered into two groups, relying on the large number of people, and divided the troops to go around from the other side of the city wall, and the battle broke out on the city wall again.

At this time, all those who had just climbed the city wall were all new recruits from Adjara. Although they were brave and well-trained, they lacked experience in facing the enemy. They were brave and ruthless, their formations were incomplete, and they lacked cooperation with each other, so they could only fight a draw with the superior number of forbidden troops, and it was still a situation in which both sides consumed human lives together.

Zhang Bai on the Apostle also noticed that the speed of the troops attacking the city was obviously slow, and the battle on the city wall was becoming more and more dangerous, and it seemed that there was a tendency to be surrounded. He also saw that there were many people, and the side that fought from inside the city to the outside, Taha's forbidden army still had a rear.

In all directions of the capital, scattered soldiers rushed towards the north gate, slowly gathering like a trickle, forming a huge infantry corps.
