At this time, Bukhara was almost an isolated city.

"The Sassanids are all rats!" Wen Yang scolded the Sassanids for their timidity.

The original plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements waited in vain for three months under the city of Bukhara.

However, these three months were not in vain, and the craftsmen of the army made more than 300 catapults, as well as a large amount of Menghuo oil.

The food in Bukhara was almost exhausted, but there were plenty of horses and livestock in the city, and they could hold on for several more months.

Bukhara, which means temple.

A large number of devout believers are here, and of course they would rather die than surrender.

Christians can be seen praying on the city walls every day, and three large Smof flags are erected on the dome of the city, which is colorful and quite shocking.

The Silkh is the sacred bird of the Persians and their spiritual symbol.

"Surrender!" Du did not want to see this ancient city in the river destroyed in the flames of war, so he sent the Sogdians as envoys.

Unexpectedly, the stubborn resistance in the city was very resolute, and all the envoys were beheaded, and their heads were hung on the city wall to boost morale.

At this point, the only way to do this is to attack the city.

The grain and grass of the Qin army also began to become nervous, and the grain left by the Dawan Kingdom was almost consumed.

More than 300 catapults were pushed to the front.

The defenders of the city did not care, the Central Plains buildings in Central Asia were different, and the cities were mostly built of stones, which were extremely strong, and it was difficult for catapults to throw stones to deal an effective blow to them.

A jar of fire oil flew into the city, flames soaring into the sky, and black smoke billowed to the sky.

Immediately the screams of people and livestock rang out in the city.

The fire spread rapidly, and the pitch-black smoke rose into the sky, forming a large dark cloud that covered the sky.

Countless Menghuo oil continued to be poured into the city.

The flames are getting louder.

The defenders didn't seem to be good at handling the flames of the oil, and poured water on them, but the flames grew bigger and bigger.

Two of the three Smov banners were burned to black ash, one of which was in the center of the city, and the range of the catapults was insufficient.

However, this was enough to demoralize the defenders.

The fire burned for more than an hour, and was finally extinguished by the defenders covered with sand.

And that's just the beginning.

Under the city, the elite of the Chinese army had already dismounted, assembled into a foot formation, erected a huge shield, carried a shining ring-headed knife, and carried a long ladder to advance to the city wall.

The Chinese army is not a simple cavalry, nor is it a simple infantry.

You need to be proficient in all kinds of military skills, you need to be proficient in all kinds of military skills, you can get on the horse for cavalry, get off the horse for infantry, bows, crossbows, knives and spears, everything is common, and the imperial food of Daqin is not so delicious.

】

Under the strict requirements, the quality of the soldiers has been greatly improved.

Especially after absorbing a large number of good family sons and Qingying children, the Qin army's combat power and perseverance have skyrocketed.

These people were professional soldiers of Great Qin.

In this war, it is useless to serve a single righteous army, that is, it is to be shown to the Central Asian countries and tribes.

The foot soldiers pushed forward, and the crossbowmen suppressed the defenders on the walls in the rear.

Two cavalry armies of 5,000 men roamed on both flanks of the infantry formation, preventing the defenders from jumping over the wall or reinforcements from appearing suddenly.

In the sound of drums, the infantry began to ascend the city, one by one skillful, moving like a rabbit.

The defenders were still shrouded in the shadow of the fire just now, their morale was low, and they were suppressed by the crossbow arrows of the Qin army under the city, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, but only threw stones at will.

Only the devout Christians are fiercely resisting.

But the Qin army was equally fanatical, and was not afraid of death, facing the enemy's scimitar spear, the body was pierced, and it was also necessary to fight a bloody way for the robe behind it......

Often, when a Qin soldier fell, four or five Sassanid defenders would be buried with him.

The Sassanids had never seen such an enemy.

After the Qin army climbed the city wall, they immediately formed a small array, occupying the head of the city and reinforcing the robe behind it.

Soon, the black on the walls became more and more, squeezing the defenders off the walls.

Three hours before and after, the largest and most majestic city in the river was captured.

A textbook siege battle was displayed in front of the envoys of all countries, and the strength of the Qin army was also deeply imprinted into their hearts.

"Most of the protectors, the enemy refuses to surrender, and is still stubbornly resisting in the city!" The scouts came to report.

Du Yu sighed lightly, this result had been expected.

Believers are generally not afraid of life and death.

However, the Confucian scholars in the Han and Wei dynasties were not pedantic, and those who killed people and set fires in the Western Regions were all Confucian scholars.

"General Tian, General Gou, ...... quickly Clean up the city! ”

And Great Qin also needs to establish its prestige by killing, and the Qin army marched westward not to invite guests to eat and have a group of harmony, but to conquer!

Where there is conquest, there is naturally killing.

The opportunity has been given, and others don't want it, so you can't blame Qin Jun for being ruthless.

"Yui!" The second general said murderously.

When dusk fell, the banner of Qin characters was already flying in the city of Bukhara.

Blood slowly flowed out of the city.

A large number of bodies were taken out of the city and buried by the captives who were still alive.

There were so many corpses that the pits dug were not enough to bury them, and the bloody aura attracted vultures and wolves.

After observing the whole battle, the faces of the Roman missions became more and more heavy, and they inexplicably gave birth to a shocking feeling.

A large city with a population of more than 100,000 people was captured in one day......

"The Sassanids are no match for Great Qin, and neither are we!" Diocletian was shocked more than once by the strength of the Qin army.

Sometimes he couldn't understand why an army without religious beliefs would be so fearless of death.

"We have underestimated this Eastern Empire before, we can't let them annex the Sassanids, otherwise our end will come!" Adjutant Kalinus said.

The Roman Empire, once the world's mightiest empire, finally entered its unprecedented period of chaos after the end of the Severus dynasty, known as the "Third Century Crisis", with the ruling group constantly in internal strife, endless fighting, and powerful enemies.

The slaves and serfs at the bottom constantly rebelled against the rule of the aristocracy.

So under the attack of the Sassanids, it has always been in a weak position.

However, with the rise to power of Aurelian of Illia, a large number of barbarians were absorbed into the Roman army, and the combat effectiveness began to increase, and the unification of Rome was gradually achieved.

The Sassanid offensive in the Mediterranean was aimed at preventing the reunification of Rome and completely destroying the revival of the Romans.

And at this juncture, Great Qin's westward expansion affected the situation in the west.

Diocletian was the most dazzling rising star in the Roman army, his father was a slave, he joined the army as a slave son, after more than ten years of fighting, he accumulated military merits step by step, and was promoted to the captain of the personal guard of the Roman Empire head Calus, thus entering the core of the highest power in Rome.

Historically, it was he who led the brief revival of Rome, and it was also his work that divided Rome into Western Rome and Byzantium.

In the First Great War in the River, the Romans, like the Sassanids, did not think much of the Qin army, believing that they were similar to the barbarians of the northern steppes.

After entering Daxing, I saw the strength and wealth of the Central Plains.

"You must not be the enemy of Great Qin!" Diocletian made the best decision of his life.

If there are 50,000 or 60,000 more Qin troops like today, I am afraid that the situation on this continent will be rewritten.
