Chapter 409: Parthia in Shock [Asking for Votes]
The sun is setting.
After Huo Quai's rapid march in the wind and dust, he passed through the Western Regions and came to the area east of the Dayue Clan, where he first joined Wei Qing.
In the command camp of the Chinese army, the nephew and uncle met.
Traveling quickly for days made Huo Quai's illness extremely expensive, and his bright and compelling eyes were a little dim.
Urging the marching method with all his might, he rested for only two hours a day.
The process of rushing over is far more arduous than ordinary people imagine.
Wei Qing asked people to bring hot water to Huo Quai's wash.
"Uncle, something happened here?"
"Why do you ask?"
"My uncle and I called for the army, we had communicated in advance, I was responsible for defeating the ironclad army, and my uncle sent troops to capture the city of Heweng, cut off the main transportation line of Parthian soldiers and horses, and grasp the initiative in the battle.
However, after his uncle sent troops to attack Hewen City, he did not follow up. ”
"When I came, I saw a layer of gray gas coiled above the camp, what happened?"
Huo Quzhi wiped his face with a warm cotton cloth.
The power in his body was running rapidly, and wisps of breath were spreading, filling every secret trick and recovering the consumption he had along the way.
Raising the perspective and overlooking the sky above Nuotu City, a border city in Dawan in the Western Regions where the Han army was stationed, there was indeed a layer of almost invisible gray atmosphere, full of ominousness, enveloping the city.
And on the outskirts of the city, there was the occasional terrible howl, like the dying roar of a wounded beast.
Wei Qing had some relief on his face: "You are indeed a qualified general, and your performance has exceeded my expectations back then."
You're right, something unexpected has changed. ”
"A few days ago, in the Western Regions, in the direction of poison, there were a large number of birds and birds, and beasts migrated closer to the military camp, and the scene was very strange.
These animals, birds in staggering numbers, gathered outside the barracks, wailed, and eventually died. ”
"After the death of the animal, there is an invisible force that spreads to the camp.
In recent days, the people in the camp seem to have been infected with a strange disease. I used all my means to determine the symptoms, which resembled witchcraft handed down from ancient times.
It is spread by animals and birds. ”
"There is nothing above the realm of heaven and man, but if an ordinary soldier is infected, he will immediately become weak, and at worst, he will die."
"In the previous war with the Xiongnu, the great shaman also used similar methods, burying a large number of dead livestock in the ground, casting spells, trying to induce diseases and harm our Han army.
But the great shaman was killed, the borage was also dead, and the ancestral weapons of the Xiongnu were also destroyed when they were sealed in Zen.
The spells set by the great shaman, without the support of the power of the source, were weakened and failed to cause us any real harm. ”
"This change is obviously related to the current war situation, and the Parthians are inseparable."
Huo Qu's probe looked out at the sky.
The art of witchcraft, the scourge of witchcraft in the Martial Emperor's dynasty, how many things have changed due to the influence......
"Gathering troops, the troops are in the barracks, and they are not susceptible.
At the moment, the situation is not serious.
I look at this kind of evil art and Taoist cultivation Shengke, and it has been transmitted to Chang'an, and the people of Daomen are on the way here, and there should be a way to crack it. ”
"In addition, I have asked Li Kang and the soldiers of the Evil King to divide into two routes, sending troops from east to west in a pincer shape, waiting for a vacant position, avoiding the changes in the camp.
Secretly responded with the chief king and my lieutenant. ”
Huo Quzhi said: "Uncle is afraid that the other party will take advantage of the outbreak of witchcraft to attack the camp, and deliberately restrain the troops, show the enemy weakness, and lure him to attack?" ”
"Well, the other party's general is very powerful, I have set up ambushes several times, but he has not been fooled."
Wei Qing said: "You came this time, what means do you have to break the enemy?" ”
"Uncle wait patiently for a few days, and he will surprise his uncle."
Wei Qing pondered for a moment: "You have always been ambitious, but you want to attack Parthia itself?" ”
Huo Qu's sick head: "Exactly."
Parthia snatched the Great Moon clan from my Han, and kept hoarding troops here, without any scruples. How could there be such a good thing that they themselves were hiding in Parthia itself, safe and sound? ”
Wei Qing said cautiously: "Parthia is vast and strong, if you want to attack its homeland, you must not be careless, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"Uncle, don't worry, I've made arrangements."
"When are you leaving?"
"Rest for a few hours and leave, and on the way I will join forces with Zhao Anji, Chen Qing, Fulu Branch, and Zhao Ponu."
"But there is something you need me to cooperate."
“……”
In the early hours of the morning, Huo Qubing left the camp again, plunged into the territory of the Dayue clan, and lost his trace in a blink of an eye.
……
Parthian capital.
Mithridates II had a gloomy face for several days, as if a storm was coming.
Half of the 6,500 ironclad troops were beheaded by the Han army.
When the news came, Parthia was in an uproar, and the shock was unimaginable to outsiders.
Since the formation of the Iron Armor Army, it has swept through the LSR cavalry, cleared the domestic rebellion, leveled the nomadic tribes in the eastern plains, and also included the Dayue clan that has destroyed the country, and all countries are afraid of it.
Since the establishment of the ironclad army, it has been invincible.
The loss of more than 3,000 soldiers at one time was a tragic experience that Parthia had never had.
The strength of the whole country is only more than 30,000 ironclad troops, and nearly one-tenth of them are consumed at one time.
Even the loss of one person will make the coach feel distressed for several days.
With more than 3,000 kinds of losses, even the lord of the country, Mithridates II, was so distressed that he couldn't breathe.
"Those armors that were damaged by the people were also taken away by the Han Chinese?"
"Yes, thousands of sets of ironclad army equipment have been obtained by the other party."
The anger in the heart of Mithridates II was like a flame burning, boiling and surging:
"The Han people are still using my Parthian light cavalry tactics decades ago, and they actually gave me Parthian heavy horses, causing huge losses."
In the early decades, the well-known Parthian tactic referred to the method of warfare in which bows and arrows were fired, followed by light cavalry.
And then they developed the Ironclad Army.
Mithridates II immediately gathered his ministers, intending to make Han pay a heavy price.
The majesty of Parthia brooks no violation.
Mithridates II delivered several orders to the soldiers and horses stationed in the Otsuki clan.
It is required to attack and destroy the Han realm with all its might, and leave no prisoners in every battle.
And Mithridates II also ordered the requisition of a new 5,000 ironclad army, as well as a 20,000 standing army to the east, to reinforce Bhutto's army against Han.
……
The Euphrates, which joins the Tigris River to the east, becomes the largest river in Southwest Asia.
The tributaries along its line are all over the place, the river valleys are wide and narrow, and the deep gorges are repeated.
The birthplace of all civilization systems is to live by water.
Parthia was no exception.
Its territory stretches from the Euphrates River in the north to the Amu Darya River in the east.
The Tigris River, located in the most important area of its territory, is more than 2,000 kilometers long, and even the capital of its empire will move from Nissa to Ctesiphon along the Tigris River in the near future.
The richest areas of Parthia were built along the river.
The Tigris River, also known as the Mother River.
They built water conservancy projects along the river to irrigate half of the Parthian plain, which amazed future generations, and built dams to store water.
Bai Nanyu received Huo Quai's order, cooperated with Cao Qian and other embroidered clothes, and the soldiers acted in two ways.
Cao Wei took people to the body poison, and Bai Nanyu traveled all the way, leaving Chang'an and traveling westward, and came to Parthia first.
In addition to the carefully selected group of people, there are also several Mo craftsmen who accompanied her.
In addition, there are Luo Xiu, and Song Ran, who is lucky to add nine.
Because of the presence of Luo Xiu, the process of them entering Parthia and carrying out camouflage was simply a breeze.
After coming to Parthia, a group of people began to act according to Huo Quai's instructions.
The final location was chosen for the city of Poha, in the northern part of Parthia.
A short distance southwest from here is Nysa, the most important city in Parthia.
The city of Boja has the largest dam in Parthia, which is used to irrigate the Stan Plains and is one of the most important water conservancy projects in Parthia.
"Master Hou asked us to choose a place with a large enough water storage capacity, and there should not be a large number of civilians around."
"It's the right place."
This is a brief conversation between Luo Xiu and Bai Nanyu after their arrival.
"Go your separate ways, and then go to the second place!"
After the group came over, Bai Nanyu was in charge of scheduling, and Luo Xiu relied on the ability to draw a cow that could be taken out and ridden, and specifically implemented Huo Quai's order.
Because before coming, the preparation was very sufficient, including the Legalist treasure borrowed from the Legalist boss Zhang Tang, using torture and spell casting, you can quickly rub and master the other party's language, and obtain some secrets in his consciousness.
With these preparations, Luo Xiu, with the support of the armed forces under Bai Nanyu, kidnapped the target person, and then changed his appearance and went deep into the enemy's interior and other operations, which were carried out one after another.
When Huo Qubing led the army to infiltrate Parthia, Bai Nanyu and Luo Xiu, Song Ran, had been arranged in Boha City for several days.
Huo Qubing was in the wilderness outside the city, and joined Bai Nanyu and others.
In the past few days, Bai Nanyu and others have spent most of their time hiding in the wilderness, acting in secret, and only Luo Xiu is responsible for appearing and investigating news.
A white stone dam outside the city of Boha.
Looking down from the sky, it is built on the mountain pass between the two mountains, and the weather is magnificent.
The entire dam adopts a sectional type, with earth-rock and net locks to block and slow down the water potential, and finally build two consecutive dams at the mountain pass.
The water here is staggering, and the water is as vast as the sea.
The mouth of the dam below emitted a thunderous roar, and the water potential poured for thousands of miles.
"It's all set up?"
"Don't worry, Master Hou, I pretended to be the leader of the guards here, and put the formation map given by Master Hou in the key position of the dam in advance."
Luo Xiu said proudly: "Just wait for the Hou Ye to come over, and then you can start acting." ”
They were on a barren hill outside the city of Boha.
Hundreds of feet away is the location of the dam.
Soldiers and horses patrol the dam regularly, but the security is not tight.
After all, no one would have thought that Huo Qubing would not only run deep into Parthian territory, but also target the dam!
"Let's get started."
Everything is easier to destroy than to build.
What's more, Huo Qubing asked Luo Xiu and others to come over, and they had already done something under the embankment.
It's going to be dark.
On the surface of the water near the mouth of the white stone dam, a black shadow like a demon god appeared.
The black aura carried by that figure was like a storm, sweeping through the mouth of the dam and turning into a chiyou.
His figure climbed rapidly, Optimus Prime, as high as more than ten zhang, towering like a mountain.
Boom!
The sword of the Hongming knife is like a long rainbow that runs through the heavens and the earth, and it cuts the first barrage lock of the dam with one blow.
Boom!
Several river locks that buffered the water potential collapsed one by one.
Bang!
The water suddenly swelled and rushed towards the mouth of the dam below.
There were garrisons along the coast who found out about the change and shouted in horror.
Huo Qubing is simultaneously urging the troops, gathering all forces, and forming a cooperation with Chi You.
The blade of the soldier cast a huge battle that opened the world, and slashed on the dam as thick as a mountain.
The formation map planted by Luo Xiu and others in advance was also triggered, as if thousands of troops gathered their strength to storm the dam.
Click! Bang!
When Chiyou fits and crashes into it, complete the final blow.
The dam suddenly collapsed into a gap, and the water gushed out.
The next moment, the entire dam collapsed.
The sound of the turbulent water rushing is deafening, as if it contains the power of heaven and earth, pouring downstream.
"Master Hou, why did we choose here?
Wouldn't another dam mouth further downstream, closer to its populating areas, cause even more damage. Luo Xiu asked.
"The destruction of the dam mouth is not to kill the Parthian people."
The location that Huo Quzhi ordered to find was the uppermost point of Parthia, and there were several dam mouths below, which affected the whole body.
The water rushes downward, and after half a day, it will reach a densely populated area.
The Parthian population was notified in advance and had the opportunity to evacuate nearby, and the casualties would not be great.
However, the cities along the way, and the cultivated land on the plains, will be flooded and damaged.
The collapse of food reserves will cause huge consequences.
The best thing is that this part of the food and grass is missing, if Parthia tightens his belt to live, he can still maintain the daily needs of the people, but if he goes to war with the Han Dynasty, he will be unbearable.
In this case, how should Parthia deal with the Han army?
And when the dam was triggered and the whole country of Parthia collapsed, Huo Qubing brazenly sent troops and showed his troops in his country.
The dam burst and the news of the damage to thousands of hectares of fertile land reached the national capital.
The lord of the kingdom, Mithridates II, turned pale and slowly sat down on the throne.
