Chapter 609 swept across the Persian Gulf
The news that Xia was about to concentrate hundreds of thousands of powerful troops to the west quickly spread all over the world under the spread of merchants from Western countries, especially the target of Xia's westward expedition, Mureh Khan, and the Persian Empire soon got the bad news.
After Murehan learned the news, he felt that it didn't matter at first, anyway, the Bedouins were used to living a hard life, and if they couldn't beat the Xia army, it was a big deal to hide in the desert again, anyway, now the territory they have grabbed is from the Persians, and it is not that they are not distressed if they lose it.
At this time, Mulie Khan did not know the number of Xia troops mobilized, so he still had some indifferent mentality.
Compared with Murekha's easy Persian Empire, it was much more panicked, even if Murekha Khan snatched so much territory, but the territory of the Persian Empire still far exceeded the territory of Iran in later generations.
In order to keep the last bit of his family, and the warlords of the Persian Empire also wanted to keep their glory and wealth, everyone united once again, and they mobilized more than 600,000 troops to continue to fight against Murekha's army on the one hand, and to defend against the Xia army from the land of the river on the other.
At this time, the Persians did not know how many combat troops the Xia State had, and in order to fight against the Persian Empire and Mureh Khan, Wang Ze had mobilized more than 200,000 troops in his homeland alone, not including the more than 100,000 Xia cavalry troops who launched an attack in advance in the land of the river.
More importantly, with the declaration of war by the Xia State, the attack on the Persian Empire and Mureh Khan was not only the 300,000 troops of the Xia army in the middle of the river, but also the troops sent by a series of vassal states of the Xia State in addition to the Xia State.
The Xia State never fought alone, and from the moment the Xia State declared war, the fate of the Persian Empire could only be completely destroyed, which would be a large-scale war of annihilation, and it was also the first time that Wang Ze tested the joint mobilization and combat capabilities of the vassal states.
In addition to the 300,000 Xia troops who were going south from the land in the river to attack Khorasan, the king of Western Qin, Rui, also sent 100,000 cavalry under his command to prepare to go south from the Caucasus again.
Li Chun, the general sent by He Liang, led a coalition of 100,000 troops from various vassal states on the western coast of Tianzhu to attack from the province of Beizhilu in eastern Persia, which had already threatened Zahedan and other eastern Persian regions.
At the same time, all the powerful vassal states on Kunlun Continent sent their own reinforcements, but the most troops were sent by Wang Yu, Zhu Bofu, Cheng Hu, Zhou Tong's son Zhou Baolai, Yuan Jia, Hu Bingchang and others on the east coast, all of whom sent the most, all of them were more than 10,000 people.
Other countries are too far away because of their national strength, so the total of these nearly 100 vassal states is only about 100,000 people, but they have all supported a large amount of money, food, medicinal materials, and materials, so that together with the strength of the Xia State in the Horse Island and the Nankun Governor's District, Kunlun Continent has sent a total of 200,000 troops.
Although the vassal states of Penglai Continent, Abbot Continent and Yingzhou further west of the West Ocean were too far away from the Persian Empire, they also united to send a total of 50,000 or 60,000 troops when they got the news, and the other food and materials they brought with them were not small.
Finally, the Xia army of Nanyang combined with the 200,000 troops of the vassal states on the east coast of Tianzhu quickly rushed to the Xia base in the Persian Gulf, and they will bloom from the middle, and cooperate with the Xia army between the north and the south and the armies of the vassal states to attack the Persian army and the army of Mureh Khan.
At this time, Wei presided over state affairs was Wang Hui's eldest son Wang Zheng, who was very moved to see that the uncle and the major vassal states had sent a large army to help, and he was extremely hostile to Murean Khan and the Persian Empire This time he also fought, and finally the angry Wei State mobilized the whole country to organize an army of 200,000.
The Xia State and its vassal states actually mobilized an army of 1.2 million at once, and the combat effectiveness of these armies was simply outstanding, which made the major separatist warlords of the Persian Empire almost frightened, and even Murean Khan, who had always thought of himself as the spokesman of the gods, was extremely uneasy.
Soon Wang Ze sent a letter to various countries, highly praising the outstanding contributions made by the major vassal states to maintain world peace around the suzerainty of the Xia State, and this military operation was a united, just, and fraternal military action to maintain world peace.
In the end, Wang Ze decided to name the coalition army of various countries as the United Nations Army, and the first enemy of the United Nations Army was the unknown Persians.
In the face of millions of powerful United Nations troops, even the Persian Empire was absolutely unable to resist when it was at its strongest, let alone the Persian Empire, which was still a warlord at this time.
Soon, led by 100,000 Xia cavalry in the river, the 300,000 Xia army successively captured the entire Khorasan and attacked the heart of the Persian Empire.
Wang Rui personally led 100,000 cavalry from Azerbaijan to the south, Tabriz soon fell under the iron hooves of Wang Rui's army, in order to combat the Persian spirit of resistance, Wang Rui announced that all Persians along the way who resisted would be annihilated and even slaughtered.
These Persians, who didn't know who they were fighting for, would not have resisted the Western Qin army, anyway, their emperor His Majesty had been killed by his own son, and the generals who had been divided from all over the country were only concerned with competing for power and profit with each other, otherwise the Persian Empire would not have been destroyed by Mureh Khan in just a few years in the original history.
The 100,000-strong army of Western Tianzhu led by Li Chun, the general of Ho, has even captured Zahedan, and the coalition forces operating in the Persian Gulf have successively captured the coastal important places of Bandar Abbas, Abadan and Basra, and continue to penetrate from this base.
On the one hand, the 400,000-strong armies of Kunlun and Wei launched an offensive in the deeper part of the desert east of the Hejaz, trying to clean up the tribes under the command of Mureh Khan as much as possible, and on the other hand, they sent large armies to cooperate with the coalition operations in the Persian Gulf, which was also the focus of the coalition forces.
Soon the joint **** from the north of the Persian Gulf and the army of the Western Qin State and the cavalry of the Xia State in the south joined forces in Babylon (Baghdad), and behind them, the 200,000 infantry troops of the Xia State had completely conquered the southern Caspian regions such as Qom and Tehran.
After the capture of Qom, Wang Ze sat here to direct the offensive of the Xia army, and the chaotic Persian Empire was unable to form a unified and effective resistance.
In the face of the onslaught of the Xia Kingdom, the Persian Empire quickly collapsed, but Murean Khan relied on his religion to absorb more refugees displaced by the war, and his strength was further improved.
While the United Nations forces occupied most of the eastern bank of the middle and lower Tigris River, most of the Mesopotamian plain on the western bank had been seized by Mureh Khan, who was actively preparing to block the Xia kingdom's westward advance.
In the face of the fierce offensive of the Xia State, although Mu Lie Khan felt invincible, but he was not willing to give up this fertile land easily, so the army under the command of Mu Lie Khan continued to fight with the Xia State and other countries, and the Bedouin cavalry who were not afraid of death gave the coalition soldiers a deep impression.
At the beginning, the more than 300,000 cavalry mobilized by the coalition army had a great advantage, especially in the flat terrain such as the Mesopotamian plain, which was very suitable for large-scale cavalry combat of the coalition army.
It's just that as the battle continued to heat up, even Murean Khan began to be unable to withstand the non-stop attacks of hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, so he had to retreat step by step, gradually abandoning the rare land in the two river valleys and retreating into the desert.
Seeing Mulie Khan retreating, the Xia army would certainly not give up and took the lead in pursuing Mulie Khan's army, but after the 100,000 allied cavalry gradually penetrated into the desert, after several days of pursuit, Mulie Khan suddenly mobilized more than 150,000 camel cavalry to launch a counterattack against the allied cavalry.
Although the allied cavalry was extremely combative, they were also exhausted after several days of fighting in the tropical desert, and although the horses under them were all excellent horses, they were also very weak at this time, and the camel cavalry that was born in the face of Murekhan was powerless to resist.
Fortunately, Xia has always attached great importance to the dispatch of scouts, so it was necessary to discover Murekha's counterattack as early as possible, and the urgently retreating coalition army was finally intercepted by Murekha Khan, and more than 20,000 allied soldiers died in the desert, but more than 30,000 Murekhan's army was killed under the decisive counterattack of the allied soldiers.
When the angry coalition army received large-scale cavalry reinforcements to chase after them again, they were surprised to find that Murekhan had actually led the army to disappear into the vast desert again, and it was too difficult to find Murekhan's shadow in the desert.
After not finding Mulie Khan, the angry belly bulging coalition army suddenly poured all their anger on the Persian Empire, and they originally had the intention of negotiating peace with the Persian Empire, so they simply wiped out the Persian Empire in one go.
All the valuable cultural relics and scrolls in the Persian Empire were transported by the Xia Kingdom to the museum under construction in Liaodong City for exhibition, and a large amount of gold and silver wealth was divided up by the major vassal states that sent troops.
In the end, even the tens of millions of people in the Persian Empire were divided up by the vassal states and the Xia State that were in short supply of labor, especially the Persian Empire has always been known for producing beautiful women, each of which is very expensive, and it is also a good choice to reward soldiers.
"Your Majesty, we have lost all the Persians, what should we do with this land?" Zhu Ming and Cheng Biao didn't understand Wang Ze's approach.
"Haha, you two silly boys, this land is what I left to you two!" Wang Ze stroked his beard and laughed, "For the sake of Feng'er and Xuan'er, but the two of you lost the throne, this land is my compensation for the two of you!" ”
Zhu Ming and Cheng Biao were suddenly shocked by Wang Ze's words, when Wang Ze asked the two of them to choose one in front of returning to China to inherit their father's throne and marrying Wang Feng and Wang Xuan, they both chose to stay, and suddenly Wang Ze divided such a large territory to himself, and happiness came too suddenly.
"It's almost time to go back, after I leave, while you build your territory, don't neglect to help Wang Zheng's kid deal with Mulie Khan, since he hid in the depths of the desert, then we won't let him get a grain of salt, and he won't get a single tea!" Sleepy will trap him in the desert to death! ”
Wang Zheng said viciously, he originally came to attack Mulie Khan, but now he has not achieved his goal, it is really embarrassing, but since Mulie Khan has fled into the desert, then stay in the desert for the rest of his life.
Without all kinds of material replenishment, and without the replenishment of weapons and iron tools, there is no fear that Mureh Khan will continue to grow stronger, and without weapons, even if there is a religious incentive, what is the use.
