The sky was dark.

"Report, Da Sima, the location of the enemy camp has been clarified."

The scouts of the former army rode closer.

The big city ahead is the city of Nordyari.

The Parthian and Han armies were engaged in a fierce battle around the city.

Parthia sent heavy troops to fight for Nordyari, which was actually forced by Wei Qing and was a passive move in desperation.

Previously, Bhutto's troops were trapped in Nisa.

At that time, both sides thought that the Weiqing would besiege Nissa with all their might.

What people didn't expect was that he jumped out of Nissa directly and launched a surprise attack on Nordyari, another heavy city further west, and captured the city in one fell swoop.

Taking the city of Nordyari is equivalent to forming a larger encirclement west of Nisa!

And the evil king still led his troops to besiege Nisa, not giving Bhutto the slightest chance.

The advantage of this is that Mulu City and Nissa, Nordyari, form a three-point line, which are connected and echo each other.

The Han army had the advantage on this line and could transport grain and other supplies to each other.

After several battles, Parthia successively lost three large cities, Mulu, Nisa, and Nordyari, as well as a number of small cities.

Wei Qing conquered Nord Yari and cut off Nisa's supply from the outskirts.

The Parthian army, trapped in Nisa, had no way out and had become a truly isolated city.

If Bhutto wants to break through before the ammunition and food are exhausted, the Han army will take advantage of the situation to block the attack, and you can avoid the drawbacks of attacking Nisa, the former capital of Parthia, with thick walls.

So Parthia could only attack his own city of Nordyari with all his might, regardless of attrition, trying to revitalize Nisa's trapped soldiers and horses, and even the entire battle situation.

The winners and losers of the war are all pressed on the city of Nordary.

On the way to Huo Qu's illness, he had a clear understanding of the entire battle situation.

He went straight to the city of Nordyali in order to help the Han army and set the tide of the battle.

At this time, the scouts of the former army came back from probing the news: "Parthian soldiers and horses, totaling more than 50,000 troops, have attacked the city of Nordyali for several days.

They camped in Stone Town, on the Gerry Plateau, more than twenty miles east of the city. ”

After hearing the news of the scout, Huo Qubing ordered to continue to hide and wait for the opportunity.

……

Ctesiphon, the Parthian capital.

Mithridates II has been paying attention to the battle situation and the Han army that has entered the Parthian border, especially Huo Quai's team.

"Your Majesty, they are secretly marching and approaching the city of Nordyari, they must be waiting for the war to begin, and then suddenly enter the battlefield."

The Parthian minister, who was watching from the sidelines, judged.

With the speed and concealment ability of Huo Quai's army, if he suddenly kills and the Parthian army is not well prepared, it is enough to become a force that influences the situation of the battle and poses a decisive threat to the Parthian army.

War Minister Missy dragged: "It's a pity that his whereabouts have been discovered by His Majesty, and we can take advantage of this in turn." ”

Mithridates said: "Order Ars, who is stationed in Stone Town on the plateau, to pretend that he does not know, and in turn set up an ambush to wait for the Han army to appear, and attack him head-on." ”

More than 20 miles west of the city of Nordyari, there is a small Parthian city, called the Plateau Stone City.

At this time, the stone town was temporarily expanded and became the garrison of the Parthian army.

Ars, Chinese New Year's Eve, is a famous general of the new generation of Parthia, brave and resourceful, both offensive and defensive.

Parthia, on the other hand, has the art of war horns, which can complete long-distance communication.

A detachment of soldiers and horses from the Han army came and hid in the shadows, ready to raid us...... Ars receives a secret message from the trumpet of war.

Utis, the Minister of War, reminded him in the summons that he should be careful, the Han army that came was very strong.

Ars is an ordinary man, with a dark complexion and armor.

His eyes are sharp, and his eyebrows are as slender as knives, giving people the impression of being cold and hard and solid.

After receiving the summons, Ars thought quietly for a while, and said: "Come on, attack the city later, the Chinese army will hide the cross crossbow in the rear formation, and then line up the heavy cavalry after the crossbow formation."

Once an accident occurs, the flanks of the front army take the initiative to disperse and meet the enemy with crossbow formations, inflicting heavy losses on them. ”

The Parthian crossbow, which differed from the Han crossbow ordnance, was a large siege crossbow, more similar to a trebuchet. Use the copper socket as a machine buckle, and swing the hammer to smash the copper socket in wartime, and a giant crossbow arrow will be ejected, and the attack power of the attack is very strong.

And it can be shaken by the upper and lower bases, and the attack elevation angle can be raised or lowered, which is amazingly powerful.

If it is used to shoot people, it can not only shoot through armor, but also penetrate men and horses together, and is a powerful siege weapon in Parthia.

Ars thought to himself: "I'm waiting for the Han army to come and charge the battle." ”

Half an hour later, the sky was bright.

Patipress's army set off in preparation and murderous.

They advanced to the vicinity of the city of Nordyari, where the queue stretched out and stretched spectacularly.

With an order from Ars, the siege immediately began.

And the Han army at the head of the city has long been ready for battle.

Recently, the attack and defense of the city by both sides has happened almost every day, and the walls are full of dried blood and scars left by swords and arrows.

Wei Qing personally commanded the troops to defend the town.

Dressed in a green robe, he stood at the head of the city, looking at the enemy formation in the distance.

Wei Qing knew that his nephew had led his army into Parthia, and he also knew his intentions to use troops.

However, it is not clear what specific route Huo Quzhi will choose and how he will intervene in the battle.

For this nephew, especially in the last year or two, his troops have become sharper and sharper, and he has conquered everything.

How exactly he will fight, Wei Qing is not sure.

Inside and outside the city, the war was raging.

In the sound of the machine buckle, the stone bullets thrown by the trebuchet, the giant crossbow arrows of the crossbow, the enemy troops rushing to the city, the shouting of killing was deafening.

However, after the war started, the expected Huo Quai's soldiers and horses never appeared.

This surprised Als a little.

He sent scouts, and even used the magic of war, to investigate, trying to find the hidden Han army, but never to gain.

What exactly does the other person want to do?

In the Parthian capital, Mithridates II and Utis, who used their divine power to watch the battle, and the Minister of War Misituo and others saw that the Han army had already been dispatched under the leadership of Huo Quai.

The goal was not to storm the battlefield as they had previously judged, but to have other intentions.

Attacking the battlefield can assist the battle situation and win a victory.

Huo Qubing pursues a complete victory and reduces his own battle losses.

In the royal palace of Ctesiphon, under the gaze of Mithridates and others.

Half an hour after the siege began, Huo Qubing suddenly began to march.

As soon as the Han army moved, it disappeared from the picture they saw in an instant.

Huo Qubing used a new means of marching, which was faster and more hidden.

Mithridates pushed the divine power, and it took a while before he found the traces of the Han army under the command of Huo Quzhi again.

There were only 5,000 troops in all, but the momentum swept across the earth like a storm.

When Mithridati and the others saw the direction of the Han army, they immediately understood the purpose of Huo Quai.

His goal was the Stone Town on the plateau where the Parthian army had just come out.

The grain, grass, supplies, and left-behind troops of the tens of thousands of troops under the command of Ars are all in Stone Town on the plateau.

If Huo Qubing can break through the city of the plateau, he will be able to flank Ars with Wei Qing in front and back, which will have an advantage.

But...... The city of the plateau is almost impossible to break in the current situation.

So before the war, the Parthians did not think that the Han army would attack the city of the plateau.

"He wants to capture the city of the plateau? With these thousands of soldiers and horses? Some ministers were stunned.

It is common knowledge to know that supplies and cantonments were attacked.

Not only was Ars well prepared, but he commanded a large army, which was only twenty miles from the city of the plateau, and could be returned in two quarters of an hour.

In this case, the other party needs to break through the city of the plateau within two quarters of an hour, which is tantamount to a fantasy!

Even the Minister of War, Misituo, looked puzzled: "If the Han army can't break the city, it will expose its tracks on its own, and it will waste a good opportunity to attack from a long distance, and no results will be achieved."

Is this Han army general really a famous general? ”

Utis muttered: "There is another possibility, that is, the Han general Huo Qubing is sure to break the city in a short time, and turn around and attack Ars with the Han army in Nordyari City, in order to completely annihilate our army." ”

Missy Drag laughed dumbly:

"Ars is the besieging side, ready to send troops back at any time. You don't think that in just twenty miles, the other party will be able to break through the city of the plateau, so that Ars will not even have time to come back to help?

There were nearly 10,000 defenders left in the city. ”

Mithridati, the lord of the country, said: "Whether this Han general is too conceited, or has other plans, immediately pass the news to Ars."

He is the commander of the front, and it is up to him to decide how to deal with it. ”

Outside Nordyari, Ars was at the rear of the army and was soon summoned.

He was also surprised when he saw the news and was stunned.

The other party wants to hit the city of the plateau where he is back.

In just twenty miles, his soldiers and horses can come back to help at any time, how can the other party ...... So stupid!

However, Ars was always cautious, and immediately said: "Transfer the 6,000 rear army to the front army, and return to the plateau city to assist in the defense."

The rear army of 2,000 heavy cavalry marched forward with it as a countermeasure! ”

In the rear of the camp of the Parthian army, some troops made adjustments and galloped back to help.

Twenty miles, marching with all his might, it will not take more than two quarters of an hour.

At this time, I want to break the city...... Ars sneered and thought: The generals of the Han army and his soldiers and horses will pay a heavy price.

The capital of the country, Ctesiphon.

In the palace, many ministers gathered to watch the battle together.

Mithridatis, Utis and the others, their expressions slowly became solemn.

Last night, they were shocked to see the speed of the Han army's march.

However, when the actual rush began, the speed of the Han army could be even faster.

Huo Qubing commanded 5,000 troops, and the strength gathered, and the front of the array was like a storm roaring, and the momentum continued to rise.

The Castle of the Highlands is a stone town, built on the hill.

The gate of the city is like a stone gate, and there are thick stone pillars on both sides, which are carved with the god of war to protect the city.

And because it was a time of war, Parthia was at a disadvantage.

They directly used the art of war gods to strengthen their defenses.

The god of war, the lord of the kingdom, Mithridates, personally divided the power of the temple and imprinted it on a parchment scroll, which coincided with the defense of Stone City.

The city of the plateau is not large, but it is not as strong as any big city.

This is why the Parthians were confident that the city would not be breached in the short term.

At the head of the city, the Parthian defenders had received the news.

Left behind was Ars's lieutenant Qui Demy.

He was a majestic man, holding the sheepskin of the god of war in his hand, and his eyes were blazing looking out of the city.

The Han army remained hidden, and rushed like a strong wind.

In the observation of Mithridati's divine power, the Han army had forced to within 500 zhang of the city of the plateau, and he still felt an astonishing force through the divine power picture.

Even the void shook under the momentum of the troops, breeding ripples.

The speed of the Han army continued to accelerate, but Huo Qubing himself slowed down the speed of his horse, and he didn't need to do it himself.

All the generals under your command can charge into battle.

He is only responsible for giving the soldiers and horses who charge into battle, blessing them to go up, and further improve their speed.

Bang!

The forces of the Han army finally crashed into the defense system of the city on the plateau.

At this moment, the front of the Han army was coiled like a big go, and it was intertwined with the kind of secret pattern weapon that Qin Ling had obtained!

This blow seems to gather the inheritance and luck of the Qin and Han dynasties, and it is the continuation of strength and fortune!

The heavy stone gate made an earth-shattering loud noise.

The soldier slashed downward, and the door, along with the surrounding city walls and columns, were all lit up with the god of war emblem.

But after a brief stalemate, the pattern broke down.

Chen Qing, Xiong San, and Yao Zhao, who rushed in front of the battle, shouted in unison, each gathering the strength of the soldiers to break the city.

The stone gate cracked first, and the powerful force swept down, and then completely exploded, and the rubble splashed.

The whole city of the plateau is shaking.

Fighting head-to-head, the troops collided, and it was difficult for the Han army to remain hidden, which was the real way of moving.

The sound of horses' hooves is like thunder, and the whole army launches an offensive against the city of the plateau!

Once he stormed the city, he smashed the gates of this small city!

The ferocity of the soldiers, as far as Si!

In the Parthian palace, Mithridates slowly stood up from his throne, his eyes glazed over.

Utis sighed secretly, only he had thought of this possibility before the war, because he had fought Huo Quai.

The Minister of War was stunned, the power of the god of war was not enough to protect the city!

The other ministers were even more shocked.

As soon as the battle began, the Han army took the lead.
