Chen Mu also arranged for several Persian-speaking Bactrian people to be instructors to control the Persian government.

Among them is this man.

"Xu Shan, how is the situation in Persia now?"

Xu Shan: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, a month ago, the former king of Persia led his troops to attack the Persian capital, and the guidance group saw that the enemy army was weak, so they went out of the city to meet the battle. ”

Unexpectedly, the original king of Persia colluded with the Xiqiang tribe and suddenly killed, and the Persian army was defeated. Then the Persian kingdom was lost and retreated, so I was sent to ask for help. ”

"The remaining strength of the Persian army is not much, and it is estimated that it has been driven out of Persia now."

Now the vassal states of Great Xia have signed the Rakshasa Treaty, and according to the regulations, when there is an invasion by foreign enemies, they can ask for help from Great Xia.

Unexpectedly, not long after the signing, someone attacked Persia.

Chen Mu nodded.

"This is not necessarily a bad thing, and it can wipe out all the people in Persia who supported the former Persian king."

"Father, son-in-law invites 30,000 elite soldiers to help Persia regain the lost territory, and then crusade against Xiqiang and raise the prestige of my Great Xia country."

Chen Xingtian: "Accurate! Let those barbarians see how good we are! ”

After the agreement was made here, Chen Mu ordered 5,000 invincible flying troops, 5,000 Wudang flying troops, 10,000 cavalry, and 10,000 reserve troops to go to Persia.

The Invincible Flying Army and the Wudang Flying Army are the main forces of urban warfare, the cavalry is the main force of field warfare, and the reserve army is responsible for transporting grain and grass and maintaining order.

As for the local Persian army, there is no hope for it.

Chen Mu rushed to the front line and asked, it turned out that the new Persian regime had not been completely driven out of Persia and was still guarding the last city.

The border garrison has gone into battle, patrolling between the city of Dong'an in Persia and Wen'an County in the Xishan region of Bactria to prevent the enemy from bypassing the city of Dong'an to attack Bactria .

Chen Mu made supplies here, and then went straight to Dong'an City. The army set up camp in the east of the city, and Chen Mu led people into Dong'an City.

When the king of New Persia saw Chen Mu, he welcomed him with tears in his eyes as if he had seen his relatives.

After some politeness, Chen Mu asked, "How is the situation of the enemy army now?" ”

The king of New Persia also knows the Great Xia language, so he will start the introduction directly.

There were still 5,000 Persians left, but they were all improvised and only had some simple queue training in the city.

The army of the original king of Persia has 10,000 people, some of whom were originally stationed on the border of Xiqiang in Persia, and have good combat effectiveness, and the other part is also a new soldier, but they have also been trained, and they are much stronger than the army of the new king of Persia.

The Xiqiang army only had 5,000 cavalry, but its combat effectiveness was very strong, and it could also shoot on horseback. You can control the horse with your legs, and shoot arrows with your bow with both hands.

Hearing this, Chen Mu's face became solemn.

The cavalry and archery skills of the Xiqiang army are very good, and in the history of Chen Mu's previous life, this kind of cavalry and archery skills once beat the Chinese cavalry to the ground.

The Xiqiang army did not have saddle stirrups, and on a smooth horse, they could also shoot arrows with a bow, which was a skill that even the Xiongnu and Donghu could not know.

Although it is said that the cavalry of Great Xia can also use repeaters on horses, the difficulty of operating repeaters is much lower than that of bows and arrows, and the cavalry can control the horse with one hand and use the repeater with the other.

Moreover, the range of a repeating crossbow is much smaller than that of a bow and arrow. Once the Great Xia cavalry faces the Western Qiang army, it will definitely suffer.

Chen Mu: "Where are the enemy troops now?" ”

The new king of Persia took the map, pointed to the west of the city, and said: "Now the army of the former king of Persia is stationed here, and the Xiqiang army does not know where it is, and it should be far away from here." But they have very good mobility and can come from a distance in the event of an engagement. ”

Chen Mu: "Are they still attacking the city?" ”

King of New Persia: "At the beginning, the city was attacked every day, but we prepared sufficient weapons to defend the city, and the enemy suffered heavy casualties, and the city was not attacked in the last few days. ”

Chen Mu nodded, "Okay, tomorrow we will go out of the city to meet the battle and start fighting back." ”

The next day, Chen Mu led an army of 30,000 and lined up in the west of the city. The Invincible Flying Army and the Wudang Flying Army were in the middle, the cavalry were lined up on both sides, and the reserve army followed behind.

The former king of Persia got the news and also led his troops outside the city. Although it was 10,000 to 30,000, the expression of the original Persian king looked relaxed.

He looked at the military formation of Great Xia, rode his horse and took a few steps forward, and shouted loudly:

"Invaders of Great Xia! You are not welcome in Persia! ”

"The puppet government you have established has been defeated by me!"

"Now that the Persian state has united its front, you have no chance of winning!"

Someone translated it to Chen Mu, Chen Mu smiled, and asked people to reply in Persian.

"Bactria is a great state in Shang, and Persia is a subject country!"

"The people of Persia are doing well with the help of Bactria !

"You were the one who started the civil war, and you deserve to go to hell!"

The original Persian king was very unconvinced, and scolded in Persian, and the new Persian king scolded back.

Chen Mu saw that the original Persian king was so arrogant, he must be waiting for the Xiqiang army. Since the Xiqiang army does not come out now, let's fight directly and force the Xiqiang army out.

Chen Mu gave an order, the invincible flying army and the Wudang flying army rushed forward, the reserve army filled the position, and the cavalry did not move, waiting for the appearance of the Xiqiang army.

Not to be outdone, the former king of Persia ordered the whole army to press on it.

10,000 people on one side, charging together.

Chen Mujun shot first, and fired crossbows in unison, giving the Persian army a blow to the head. The Persian army was also fierce, rushing forward under the rain of arrows.

Hand-to-hand combat ensued.

It seems that the border guards of the Persian army have indeed been on the battlefield for a long time and have good combat effectiveness. Fighting with the elite soldiers of Great Xia will not fall behind.

And the recruits of the Persian army followed behind and did not join the war group for the time being.

If the situation continues, the Persian army will be defeated, and the Bactrian army will suffer heavy losses.

However, Chen Mu never let the cavalry participate in the battle, just to prevent the Xiqiang army from suddenly killing. In case the cavalry goes out to battle now and is entangled by the Persian army, as soon as the Xiqiang army comes out, the Great Xia army will be in chaos.

Chen Mu is waiting, because the original Persian king will definitely not dare to throw his army here, if the Xiqiang army does not come for a long time, it must be the Persian army that flees first.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the former Persian king to sit still, constantly looking behind him, and the soldiers around him began to become riotous.

As soon as Chen Mu saw that the Persian army had changed, he immediately ordered the reserve army to press on and encircle the Persian army.

This time the Persian army was completely panicked, the main force in front was fine, and the recruits in the back had begun to slowly retreat, and the Persian army had been divided into two teams.

Chen Mu ordered again to let the reserve army insert from the middle and completely separate the Persian army.

At this time, the melodious sound of Qingyue's Qiang flute came from afar.

The original king of Persia hurriedly shouted to boost morale, and the rear of the Persian army stabilized its position slightly. However, only the soldiers who came into contact with the Great Xia Reserve Army began to fight, and the soldiers behind were still in a wait-and-see state.
