Chapter 473: War Behemoth! 【Ticket Request】
Arig Vadanyan Ross was an Armenian general.
The Menias were prefixed with their surnames, which were usually the things they worshiped the most.
And 'Arig' means sun, the sun god, and represents nature worship.
Vadanyang, in the Menian language, means stonemason.
Ross is the last name.
A name contains their origin worship, their ancestral occupation, and finally their own name.
Armenia is located in the northwest corner of Parthia, bordering the two countries.
During the long period of history, the two sides were at war and at peace.
With the previous strength of Parthia, it still failed to annex Armenia, which shows that its national strength is also not weak.
Menia is small in size, but it has a strong military.
Parthia fought against Han, lost repeatedly, and was short of food, so he went to the surrounding countries to raise food.
The king of Armenia, taking the opportunity for the lion to open his mouth.
It was possible to supply Parthia with grain, but they raised the price again, not only asking for the city of the estuary, but also expanding the border fifty miles to the east, taking advantage of the opportunity.
What Armenia did not expect was that Parthia, which had always been strong, actually agreed to their request.
The additional condition was to send troops together to defeat the invading Han army.
The two sides have their own ghosts, and they have temporarily reached an alliance state.
In view of the strength of the Han, Parthia was actively carrying out a combination of vertical and horizontal means, sending envoys to lobby in the surrounding countries.
Armenia was the closest and the first to respond.
By mid-May, the Rus' commanded an Armenian elite into the western Parthian plain, forming a state of initial union between the two sides.
"The Parthians want to use us to defend them against strong enemies, and they are wary of us. The areas where we are allowed to enter are all plains and wilderness, and none of the surrounding cities are open to us. ”
Rose's lieutenant, Gran, was forty-one years old, with a brown beard, a majestic body that was stronger than ordinary people, and his eyes were piercing.
They wore the kind of deck-style armor, which was strung together with leather buckles in the middle, which was relatively primitive, and the weapons were mostly spears and large bows.
"It doesn't matter, our agreement with the Parthians is to jointly deal with the Han people in the East.
Killing the Han army is the purpose of our visit to Parthia this time. ”
Rose was tall and thin, four years younger than Gran, who was the lieutenant, and his face was full of sharpness.
Gran was surprised: "The Parthians clearly want to use us to deal with the Han army from the east and save their own consumption, why should the lord agree to such a request?" ”
Rose walked out of the camp and surveyed the surrounding wilderness: "Under what circumstances will Parthia call for help from us?" ”
"Of course, the war situation is unfavorable and we need our help."
Gran shook the giant axe in his hand, "Otherwise, they would not have agreed to our request for the city of the estuary." ”
"That's right, the Parthian envoys, when they went to lobby the lord of the country, said that the Han from the east was strong, the soldiers were brave and not afraid of death, they were sure to win every battle, and they were aggressive.
So Parthia is not asking for help, but rallying the nations around us to form an alliance against a powerful invader from the east! ”
"It's good for us to join in," Ross said. ”
"Think about it, if you don't join, will you sit back and wait for Parthia to be defeated by the Han army step by step, and then come and invade us?
As early as a few months ago, the lord of the country received news that the Han army from the east was very strong.
About a year ago, Parthia and Han were engaged in a war on the lands of the Otsuki clan. ”
Ross said, "At first, it was Parthia who took the initiative to attack and wanted to occupy the Great Moon Clan.
But within a year, Parthia had changed from the main offensive to the defensive, and the Han army had reached Parthian territory and occupied the land east of Nordyari.
Now that we are joining in, we can use the Parthian land as a battlefield to defeat the Han army together, which is far better than waiting for it to defeat Parthia and then threaten our Armenia proper. ”
Gran understood, in the final analysis, it was the Han people's westward expedition, and the successive victories of the troops made the lord of Menia frightened and vigilant.
Therefore, we must plan early and unite to resist the Han!
The Han is now a behemoth, with the horses, cattle and sheep of the Xiongnu, the population and labor of the Dayue clan, and the grain production area of the poison for logistical support, and then the Han people as the core to form an army.
Combined, these conditions have formed a war monster that can continue to fight without tire, with abundant national strength, and crush the Quartet!
In this case, who is not afraid of it!
If they don't get involved, they will have to wait for the Han to clean up Parthia, and then pose a huge threat to Armenia.
Therefore, after getting to know Han, the heart of fear arises spontaneously.
It would be wise to unite and deal with the terror from the East.
The sooner you join, the lower your risk factor.
It was in this state of mind that Menia sent 25,000 elite Rus into the western plains of Parthia to form a coalition army.
"I also want to meet this Han army to see how powerful they can be." Rose's eyes were sharp, and he looked east.
He has the pride and conceit of being a general, and the thought of confronting the Han army can't help but feel agitated emotions in his heart.
"Our alliance with Parthia will crush the Han army in the east."
The coalition currently has only two countries.
And the commander of the soldiers and horses on the Parthian side is none other than Utis.
He led the 50,000 tribes of Parthia, and the 25,000 troops of Menia, and gathered troops on the plains.
The soldiers and horses of the two sides were stationed, the tents were continuous, and the flags were fluttering.
Sunset at night.
In the mountains far from the camp, some wild beasts wandered by a small lake.
Bison, elk, and water dwell.
The fertile land of the crescent moon is indeed a fertile land.
Among the herd, there was a small black bull, running happily to a nearby hill to wander around, looking at the coalition camp in the distance.
Soon after, it was getting late and the cattle were gone.
The black bull, writhing with tendon meat, flicked its tail, separated from the herd, and ran in one direction alone.
After entering the dense forest, the cow actually stood up, and the cowhide was lifted, and the body was covered with vain-like spells, which were connected to the skin.
There was a slight sound from the bones of the 'cow', the muscles on the shoulders and legs tightened and became smaller, and the incantations on the bones in the body flickered, shrinking into a human form, which was Luo Xiu, who used the technique of drawing cows.
"Chen Qing and Fulu Zhi, who suffered from the plague, must have joined forces to deceive me, and lost again and again, so that I could become a lost bison and go to the camp to investigate the enemy's situation, if I listen to the two of them, I will not be slaughtered and eat beef when I go in?
With so many scouts, let me explore the camp. ”
Luo Xiu muttered, lifted the cow painting technique, and ran quickly in the dense forest.
No one could have imagined that in the Parthian and Menian combined forces, less than twenty miles away in the mountains, there was a Han army hidden.
This Han army, dormant under the noses of the two coalition forces, was extremely bold.
The whole team used to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and then used a series of tricks to fish in troubled waters and secretly cross Chen Cang.
Several of the best strategies are in harmony with the law of marching, so even in the land of Parthia, it can still be concealed from detection, and there is no trace of it.
At this time, Wei Qing continued to use troops in Nordyari, cooperating with Huo Qu's in-depth illness to attract the attention of the Parthians.
The Parthian general Bhutto, after extricating himself from the city of Nisa, gathered the remnants of the army, regrouped, and led the soldiers and horses to fight against Wei Qing in the east of Parthia.
And Huo Qubing went deep into its borders, all the way to the range of the fertile crescent, ready for action.
When Luo Xiu came back from probing the news, it was already dark.
He rushed out of the forest, but saw a ravine ahead of him.
The fog inside rises and falls like a great river, obscuring everything in the canyon beneath it.
However, if you continue to move forward and pass through the fog, you will find that there is a cave in the canyon, hiding tens of thousands of Han forbidden troops.
Luo Xiu quickened his pace, and when he entered the camp of the Chinese army, Huo Quzhi was sitting in the main seat, and the left and right columns were all forbidden army generals.
Zhang Cigong, Zhao Ponu, Fulu Branch, Chen Qing, Zhao Anji, Huan Qisheng, Yao Zhao, Zhao Chongguo, Servant Friends, Gao Buzhi, all together.
"Master Hou, the news has been investigated clearly, and the enemy has indeed brought in a coalition army, which is the soldiers and horses of the Menias.
The armor they wore was easily recognizable, and there were about twenty-five or six thousand of them.
The combined forces of the two sides are nearly 80,000 men, and I suspect that they will send some of them to the east to support Bhutto. ”
When Luo Xiu came back from investigating the news, he spread out a topographic map, and depicted the location of the enemy camp with a brush, and even which cities were distributed around it.
Huo Quzhi pointed his finger: "This city is called Hesse?" ”
"Yes, the grain brought from Menia for Parthia was placed in this city of Hesse.
Yesterday, when they were on the expedition, they saw hundreds of carts of grain being brought into the city to be distributed throughout Parthia. ”
"Where is the other city not far from Hesse?"
"Jeshicheng."
Luo Xiu said: "Master Hou, are we still staring at the other party's grain preparation?" ”
Huo Quzhi smiled: "Come from such a distance, what's the point of just staring at the grain." But you can't let the food go. It's getting dark, so get ready for action. ”
Zhang Cigong, Zhao Ponu and others in the camp agreed and went with all their might.
The night is getting darker and the stars are shining.
It's approaching midnight.
The Parthian army was stationed in the camp, and Utis was in the tent, staring at a picture of divine power reflected in the void.
In that picture, a city appeared.
And the Han army was marching rapidly, approaching the city in the night.
The deputy general beside Utis was overjoyed and said: "The Han army is hidden and entered, and no trace is revealed. Or the handsome man calculated exquisitely, using the strategy of Hesse City to hide grain, luring him out, and the other party was tricked, and finally revealed his whereabouts. ”
Utis also sighed lightly, and his heart was slightly relieved.
Bhutto was ordered to fight against Wei Qing on the front line, and he was responsible for uniting the Menian tribes to eliminate Huo Quzhi from the country.
The two sides have been fighting for several days, although they have not officially engaged in battle, but the Han army, under the leadership of Huo Quai, has always taken the initiative and led Parthia by the nose.
It wasn't until this moment, finding the opponent's traces and revealing the clues, that Utis felt that he had pulled back a game and regained the initiative.
"The other party doesn't know that if the several holy weapons in His Majesty's hands are combined, the power will increase significantly.
The lord of the kingdom tried his best, and he could still occasionally observe the traces of his troops, but he could not grasp their location at all times.
Just like now, under the qi of the holy weapon differentiation, we can see the Han army again. ”
Utis said: "The other party regards my Parthian defenders as nothing, and goes deep without scruples. This time bite to death its position, see how they can leave me Parthia alive! ”
"Have you ever set up a trap in Hesse?"
"It's ready, the other party thinks we're transporting grain, but in fact, there is fire oil inside, and there is only a small amount of grain.
When they enter the city, if they want to destroy the grain as soon as possible, they will definitely adopt the strategy of burning. Just wait for them to raise the fire, the oil will burst in an instant, and the whole city will be ignited, and they will trap themselves in the city and burn them to death, and it will be too late to withdraw. ”
The lieutenant general said hatefully: "The lord of the country personally promoted the blessings of the gods, covered up and hid this arrangement, and waited for the Han army to fall into it."
It's a pity that in order to kill these Han troops, we have to destroy an ancient city by ourselves, and those people who are used as bait will also lose in vain. ”
Utis said: "In this way, it can be foolproof and not show flaws." ”
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
At midnight, the Han army appeared outside a city.
Zhao Anji's special operations team went to the city.
They blessed the soldiers who had crossed the world and hidden their tracks. Day and night, climb the cliff of Mount Hua to exercise your skills, and climb the city wall.
The Parthian soldiers stationed at the head of the city, clad in armor and sharp in the night, stared at the movement outside the city.
At that moment, a soldier became alert, turned his head to look, but saw a cat, with four paws like a bat stretched out, and with one of its paws, hooked the battlement protruding from the city.
The soldier and the cat's green eyes were facing each other, staring at each other with wide eyes, and there was silence for a moment.
Where did this wild cat come from, and crawled to the top of the city...... Before the Parthian soldier could finish his thoughts, he saw the cat leap up and pounce on one of his companions with astonishing speed.
A sharp finger hook.
The Parthian soldier not far away had a bloody stain on his throat, and his face showed an expression of horror for an instant.
The onlooker soldier realized that something was wrong and wanted to warn him, but a large hand reached out from the darkness behind him.
Zhao Anji manifested his incarnation from the state of hiding from the sky and the sea, and strangled the opponent's neck bone.
Other soldiers nearby were also falling one by one.
The team under the command of Zhao Anji has continued to mature with the tempering of wars, and its combat effectiveness is increasing day by day.
When they opened the city gate silently, Sun Hong, the old prime minister who was watching outside the city, had a breathtaking emotion.
The soldiers and horses under the command of the champion Hou are indeed a sharp weapon to destroy the city.
The Han army entered the city and began to operate.
"There will be a fierce battle next, is the old prime minister ready?" Huo Quzhi asked.
Gongsun Hong: "I was about to see how Huo Hou strategized this time and broke the enemy ahead." ”
