Lore picked up the parchment roll thrown by Bhutto, did not open it to check it, threw the leather roll back casually, and said, "Who here is not an undefeated famous general?" ”

"If it works by the results, there is no need to fight."

Bhutto frowned.

Lore also had an impressive record in his country, commanding 30,000 Macedonian soldiers, defending the Macedonian border provinces and forcing the Romans back.

In the course of the battle, he also used ambushes to counterattack and inflict heavy losses on the Romans.

Since then, Lore has become famous and known to all the surrounding countries.

You must know that the Romans fought against Macedonia at that time, won consecutive battles, and entered Macedonia as a daily raid.

I didn't expect to be forced back by Lore and become a hero of Macedonia.

At this time, Lore's eyes were burning: "The other party can fight all the way to Parthia and occupy nearly half of the land of Parthia, I will never underestimate the enemy, but I have the confidence to win." ”

"Looking at his record, it is more important to study and study how we cooperate with the use of troops."

Bhutto found himself underestimating Lore.

This Macedonian prince is very conceited, but he is not blindly arrogant, and he does not lack real combat ability. No wonder he was hailed by the Macedonians as the most promising young general after Alexander.

Another Macedonian general, Arisu, helped Lore first in a round and opened the topographic map.

The topography of Parthia somewhat resembles the shape of a 'gourd'.

But it is irregular, the waist of the gourd, that is, the middle position where the top and bottom are connected, the closure is not so thin, only slightly concave.

The mouth of the gourd faces west, and the larger bottom connects the Otsuki clan to the east.

The Han army entered from the east, which was equivalent to entering from the bottom of the gourd, that is, the northeast of Parthia.

Armenia is located in the northwest corner of Parthia, north of the mouth of the gourd in the upper half.

Macedonia and Seleucid are both located west of their borders.

If anyone is familiar with Macedonian history, they will find that certain deviations in the historical trajectory appear here.

Macedonia is located in a region that is slightly different from the historical location of the country.

The southeasterly shift of their borders allowed them to avoid the Romans and not be annexed during this period.

At this time, the Han army advanced from east to west, and after entering Parthia, it first occupied Mulu City, and then conquered Nordyari, and occupied the former capital Nissa and Baijiaomen and other important cities, and quickly penetrated.

With the echoes of Enodyali and the Hundred Prison Gates, nearly half of Parthia had fallen into the hands of the Han army.

The two sides are currently engaged in a fierce battle over Apamaya and Hundred Stone City, where Nordyari is heading west.

Apamea and the city of Hundred Stones are located at the waist of the Parthian gourd, that is, in the middle of the border.

Apamaia is to the north, while Hundred Stones is to the south.

The two cities are combined, like two gates, blocking the way for the Han army to march westward.

The walls of Apamaia City are thick, while the defense line of Hundred Stone City is relatively weak.

Previously, the Han army was mainly attacking Baishi City.

Because of its crucialness, Mithridates agreed to hand over Utis's family in exchange for the opportunity for the Han army to suspend the offensive.

As a sign of sincerity, the Han army had already reined in its offensive against Baishi City.

At this time, in the barracks, the coalition army discussed that it would advance its soldiers and horses eastward, go to the Apamaya and Baishicheng lines, and engage the Han army in the plains east of the two cities.

"The information we have is that the total number of soldiers and horses that the Han army can mobilize will not exceed 70,000.

In terms of the number of soldiers, we have a clear advantage. Bhutto said.

Armenian commander Ser Turi, looking at the map of the march, pondered:

"Is it possible for the other side to use the Caspian Sea to directly bypass our defense line and hit us in the back.

Parthia was short of food, and after the soldiers and horses were pressed to the front line, if the Han army surrounded us and attacked our rear, the transportation of grain for the 150,000 army would be blocked, and it would be very passive. ”

The location of the Caspian Sea is located above the waist of the gourd on the Parthian border, that is, on the north side.

By passing through the Caspian Sea and marching in the east and west directions, you can bypass the main battlefield and pose a certain threat to the important cities of Parthia.

Bhutto: "The Han army did initially go south from the Caspian Sea and entered Parthia. ”

"We've thought about it before, and we've been prepared."

Huo Qubing was the first to let Zhao Ponu, Zhao Anji, and the team of the Fulu branch go first, and indeed went to the Caspian Sea to take a turn and conduct on-the-spot investigations.

One of the most important decisive factors in a war is geography, and whoever can make full use of the geographical advantage, hide troops, and march will be able to seize the initiative.

The victories of countless battles in ancient and modern times are closely related to geography.

The most representative is the plank road march, capable people can't, build the plank road between the cliffs, pass the army, such as the gods descend from the sky, so as to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

"You're thinking too much about defense."

Lore said calmly: "The best defense is to take the initiative to attack and make the opponent tired.

We are so abundant that we should be attacking, and the opponent is short of soldiers, and we are advancing in several ways, how will he respond? ”

The head of the word is the Tao.

Bhutto chose conservative tactics because he had fought with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing before and suffered losses.

When he cooperates with Utis, it is the idea of one main attack and one main defense. But it was sparsely cut by the Han army every time, and the two cities of Mulu and Nordyali were lost like this.

The lesson was painful, so Bhutto was prepared to take precautions.

When several people were discussing how to fight, Avti glanced at the parchment scroll that Bhutto had thrown out earlier, looked at it again, reached out and quietly took the leather scroll in his hand, and unfolded it.

The content on the leather scroll is the person in charge of the soldiers, and the vertical and horizontal semi-saints secretly collect, and the news about Han and Huo Qu's illness is quite detailed.

Afuti looked at it silently.

Breaking millions of enemies and fighting thousands of miles, Huo Quai's past achievements shocked her, and she felt a faint pain in a certain position.

The whip mark never dissipated.

However, at present, as long as Afti does not use the qi or the divine favor to try to eliminate the whip marks, the frequency of her attacks will decrease, and the water of Avti's well does not interfere with the river water, but only occupies a part of her body, which is stubborn and difficult.

From the next day, the tripartite army began to advance rapidly, from the western plain of Parthia, all the way east.

The way they finally agreed to use troops was to make full use of the superiority in troops.

It is best to be able to fight a general battle with the Han army head-on, completely defeat the Han army, and lay the foundation for victory.

At both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, it should be deployed at the same time.

Bhutto and Sher Turi defended and pinned down the Han army head-on.

Lohr led the Macedonian army to find an opportunity to enter the rear of the Han army and carry out a major counteroffensive, further dividing the strength of the Han army, making it difficult to take care of it.

In mid-June, fighting raged in Parthia.

The two sides waited for each other, and the big war had not yet begun, but the small confrontation never broke.

The Han army did not continue to attack Baishi City, but they rode their horses day and night, and often came to the front of the two armies to invite battles.

After the allied forces advanced to Apameya and Baishi City to station, the pre-war atmosphere was tense, and the big battle was imminent!

At noon, in the city of Apameya, a majestic battle horn sounded.

Apamea is an ancient city that was once extremely glorious, the capital of the Seleucid kingdom, and the place where the east and west clashed.

The main street in the city of Apameya stretches for about two kilometers, and there are 1,200 huge spiral pillars on both sides of the long street, each of which is more than three zhang high.

The city is also home to a royal palace from the Seleucid Empire, inlaid with colorful stone decorations, and an ancient temple.

And at this moment, it became the forward position of the coalition forces.

At the sound of the battle horn, Bhutto and Lore joined forces to reach the top of the city.

Another manager, Shel Turi, and Rumli, Prince of Parthia, went to Hundred Stones to set up defenses together.

Outside the city, Zhao Ponu and Chen Qing led the troops over and rode horses to call for battle.

"Damn, these Han troops have come to show off their soldiers again."

Gudore, the lord of the city of Apameya, stood behind Bhutto and said angrily: "They come almost every day to call for battle, lure us into battle, suppress our morale little by little, and eat away at our soldiers and horses. ”

Dressed in iron armor, Luo Er looked at the Han army of thousands of people behind Zhao Ponu and Chen Qing.

Where the Han army is located, the essence and wolf smoke gather like pillars, and it is extremely condensed.

Faintly, you can still hear the sound of thousands of troops galloping outside the city, and the sound of soldiers roaring.

The Han army's fighting spirit and the sharpness and courage of the soldiers are rare in the world.

This is the momentum they have cultivated in the past few years, crossing thousands of miles from Shenzhou, all the way over.

Huo Quzhi once said that the Han army's westward expedition should make all opponents tremble under their iron hooves, and plant the fluttering Han flag on every piece of land illuminated by the sun and the moon!

Today, every Han army is fighting for this conviction goal!

From the head of the city of Apameya, the terrain outside the city is empty, and the area where the Han army is arrayed is faintly foggy.

And in the mist, there seemed to be shadowy soldiers and horses, looming, hiding an astonishing number of ambush soldiers.

This is the technique of Huo Quai's sacrifice of the grass and trees carved by the soldiers.

The Han army came to call for battle outside the city, and the advantage was that it could make their morale continue to rise.

Especially when the Parthians faced the call for battle, sent troops to battle many times, and suffered successive defeats.

This caused them to retreat into the city, not daring to fight easily, and their morale was completely suppressed by the Han army.

Lore observed the city for a moment and said, "The Han army wants to suppress us and boost their own morale.

Let my Macedonians deal with them! ”

When the Macedonian phalanx was used for defense, the spear pointed forward, motionless like a mountain, which was evaluated by later generations as the nightmare of the people of various countries in the era of cold weapons.

Bhutto bowed his head and said: "It doesn't matter if we fight a battle, our tripartite alliance has just arrived, and if the other party calls for a battle and does not respond, it will have a great impact on morale." ”

Lore said solemnly: "Blow the battle trumpet, go to battle!" ”

Outside the city, Chen Qing heard the sound of the battle horn and said to Zhao Ponu: "Finally, someone dares to come out to fight." ”

Zhao Ponu said: "You be cautious, Da Sima said that now is not the time for a big war, let's call the battle here, it seems to suppress the enemy army, but in fact, it is to attract their attention and drag the main battlefield here."

What is going on here is just some inconsequential skirmishes, and the outcome will not affect the outcome of the battle. ”

Chen Qingxiao: "Da Sima's real plan, I don't know how to fight?"

The news from Nordyari City this morning is that the soldiers and horses have gathered, and the Hou Ye will personally command the troops, and it seems that the big war has begun. ”

Zhao Ponu: "When the enemy's intentions are known, it will be too late for them to deal with it." ”

Chen Qing tilted his head: "Listen to what you mean, do you know the purpose of Hou Ye's use of troops?" ”

"I can guess a small part, we came here before, we walked the Caspian Sea, and we explored the terrain around the Caspian Sea.

Zhao Anji's team has been practicing swimming hard before, why do you think it is? ”

"Lord Hou wants to use the Caspian Sea to use troops? The topography of the Caspian Sea is very important, we all know the enemy, and the opponent will be defenseless? ”

"The opponent can see that they have to guard against the Caspian Sea, but can they guard against the Hou Ye?" Zhao Ponu said with a smile.

At the same time, hundreds of miles east of Apameya, outside the city of Nordyari, the Han army was preparing its troops and horses.

More than 3,000 elite forbidden troops lined up outside the city, ready to set off.

Huo Qubing stood at the head of the city, watching the soldiers gather outside the city.

"Da Sima, you want to go to the front line to fight in person?" Su Jian and Gongsun He followed on both sides, both with the intention of dissuasion.

"Well, this battle is extraordinary, I have to go, or they won't be able to get in."

Huo Quzhi explained: "The front line to the west here, led by Zhang Cigong, with Zhao Ponu as the deputy, more than 25,000 elite veterans, interspersed with the enemy on the battlefield.

The two of you will guard Nord Yari, and if your opponent comes, just hold it firm.

In the rear, I arranged for the evil king to ambush the soldiers and respond, and the battle situation will never be lost. ”

"After I go, there will be good news in about three or four days, and the coalition forces will be retreating on all fronts.

When the time comes, we will meet the front and back, and sweep the coalition forces to see how many of them can make it back alive. ”

Su Jian and Gongsun He looked at each other, and their curiosity was completely aroused.

What means does Huo Qubing have to influence the situation on the battlefield and make the coalition army rout in a few days?

Half an hour later, the most elite soldiers and horses of the Han army, 3,000 people, left the city like a whirlwind.

They rode west into the wilderness, and then Huo Qubing personally urged the miraculous marching method, and concealed the military strategies such as crossing the sky and the sea, and hid their tracks.

The great war that decided the fate of many countries has really kicked off!

How Huo Qubing should use troops is the focus of analysis and judgment of all parties.

In the evening of the same day, this Han army appeared on the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, north of Parthia.
