590. Chapter 590: The Argument Goes By
In this way, the main force of William's army of the conquerors withdrew in the shortest possible time, and then the pressure on Tabriz increased again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before that, the number of troops besieging Tabriz was not very large. In addition, this is also the capital of the empire, both the population and resources are sufficient, and the direction of the city gate also extends in all directions. In this case, it is difficult for the besieging side to besiege the entire city.
Although they were terrified of the conqueror army of House Hereford, the defenders of Tabriz knew that they had sent a few men out of the city to gather intelligence. In this case, the main forces of the Hereford family were missing, and the number of troops besieging Tabriz was not very large. This information has also been gradually grasped.
After this, a quarrel broke out in the city of Tabriz.
Some see this as a rare opportunity to break through the blockade of the Hereford family Conqueror's legion, reconnect with the outside world, and breathe a sigh of relief to Tabriz. Even if you can, move the capital and find new, more defendable and difficult places to defend against the threat of the Conqueror Legions.
Those who oppose it think it's too risky. Although the main force of the enemy's army is no longer there, even the troops that remain here are quite numerous, and they are quite combative. If you win, then naturally everything will be fine. But if it fails, then Tabriz has the possibility of falling.
As for moving the capital or something. It was even more opposed by everyone. Now the central part of the empire is all under the control of the expeditionary force. In the east, Nadir Shah had already occupied almost all of his territory, and Khorasan and Balochistan had fallen. I can't get over it at all.
As for the west, there are hardly any decent cities left in the west, and there is no city suitable as a capital except this Tabriz. What's more, is it really okay to break through and run out of the siege now, and run to the territory of those governors. Many of those governors had bad intentions. What if these guys killed Darius III and surrendered to William?
The two sides are arguing like this. Darius III was also somewhat indecisive in this matter. In fact, although the Shah's ability to be a ruler is somewhat there. But it was still a little difficult for him to control such a crumbling country in the midst of such turbulent seas. Today's Zoroaster has reached the point where the edifice is about to collapse. Anything else can happen next. In this case, the dominance of Darius Shah was somewhat insufficient.
He watched with sorrow as he watched these fellows arguing and arguing, but he didn't know who to trust. In the face of the real test, loyalty seems to be a very cheap and worthless thing. In the face of William's army of conquerors, and the turmoil of the empire, many of the self-proclaimed loyalists of the past have betrayed Darius III and surrendered to the conquerors.
They desperately waged their tails at William's army and begged for mercy, and at the same time desperately slandered their former monarchs, as if this was the only way to free them from the title of traitor and at the same time show their ingenuity.
It is precisely because of this that Darius III, who may have felt relieved in the past, only felt a headache when watching these quarrels come and go, and it seems that all the guys who are very loyal to their duties are coming.
Are these guys, these seemingly loyal guys really as loyal as they appear? Or are these guys just a disguise, and when the time comes, they will not hesitate to betray themselves, and then desperately slander themselves, describing themselves as worthless scum, in order to show that they are right to betray themselves?
Thinking of this, Darius III felt a terrible headache. If he could, he really wanted to let go of all this, go back to his harem without doing anything, and make a mess in the dark with his concubines and beauties.
Especially the "sister of the Fatimid woman Sudan". Of course, whether this identity is real or fake, Darius III has absolutely no idea. But one thing is for sure, this dark elf is indeed beautiful, and the mood in the bed is different. After just a little contact with her, Darius III became obsessed with gentleness and could not extricate himself. If it wasn't the fear of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species that reminded him all the time, then he couldn't help but be with his new favorite concubine every day during this period of time, and this and that would be endless.
That's it. Darius III was still unable to make up his mind in the end, although he also sent a small group of men out of the city to test it. However, the remaining army, which had already received instructions from William, launched a strike with the fastest speed and the most resoluteness after discovering that the enemy was showing signs of leaving the city. And then those poor troops who tested their firepower were bombarded into scum by the cavalry left behind by William, and they could not die any more.
In this way, Tabriz's attempt to break out failed. The main fighters have stopped a little -- but only partially, of course.
After this skirmish ended, many people changed their minds, if the Hereford family only had a small number of left-behind troops, and even these left-behind troops they couldn't defeat them, then what would be the future of the empire next?
In this case, these people naturally have an idea similar to that of the Dark Elves. It has to be fought, it must be fought. Win no matter what. If there is no victory, then they have no future.
Of course, only a small number of Zoroastrian ministers and generals held this opinion. Many more were still frightened by the formidable fighting power of William's conqueror army.
If they can't even defeat a partial division, then how can they face the army of the Hereford family.
In this case, more people have other thoughts.
That is, more people tend to surrender. It is even said that this surrender was not on the side of the Zoroastrian Empire, but only took into account their own interests.
If, at this moment, William changed his tactics and wanted to forcibly attack Tabriz and destroy the Zoroastrian Empire, then he would be surprised to find that a large number of Zoroaster ministers and generals were willing to lead the way. Wagging his tail and begging for mercy, hoping to curry favor with the great conqueror and their new master in the future.
Of course, of course, they can't do it in a short time.
In addition to the main battle, there are also the two factions of the main peace, in fact, there is also a group of people, the smallest group, and it is very likely that they are the most intelligent. These people raised a very correct, and certainly useless, question, that the main army of the Hereford family was indeed gone. But where is this army that could destroy the Zoroastrian Empire?
That's really a problem.
And after they raised this question, the two sides of the main war and the main peace temporarily stopped arguing. for they also found out. If this problem is not solved, there will be problems in both war and peace.
And to solve this problem, in fact, it is very easy and simple. A little thought, a little deduction, can lead to such a conclusion. That is, the retreat of the main army of the Hereford family was because something went wrong.
What went wrong, who, what, which country, which army, could make William temporarily put aside his attention from Tabriz and go there to solve the problem?
It's like they couldn't figure it out and couldn't understand why, faced with an alliance between the two sides, instead of a solid defensive line, William gave the order to attack.
They also couldn't understand that William would take advantage of this unstable foothold to launch an attack on the Dark Elves' Frontier Legion. In this case, they came to a conclusion that did not correspond to the truth at all, that is, the main army of the dark elves came to their aid.
Only in this way can it be explained why William's main army left.
After this conclusion was reached, the morale and public opinion of the soldiers and civilians of Tabriz instantly fluctuated and changed violently, and the main battle faction regained the upper hand. Their goal was to gather all their strength and give it a free hand to crush the conqueror's detachment outside the city. Gather all the forces of the Zoroastrian Empire and attack William's back.
In the case of being attacked on the back of the abdomen, no matter how powerful William is, he will definitely be powerless to return to the sky.
Truth be told, this tactic is not mistaken - even if it is based entirely on misjudgment. However, with such an exciting conclusion, even Darius III could not help but have illusions. He, and the Zoroastrian Empire, were in desperate need of a victory right now to lift people's hearts.
However, then, the proposal of the Lord and the faction made him hesitate again.
Yes, if this plan succeeds, then the empire has a future.
But what if it fails? If this plan fails, what will become of the Empire? How much power does the Empire have to risk now? It's easy to say that you can concentrate all your forces and give it a go, but what if you fail?
Previous skirmishes have also proved that William's remaining army is not all old and sick, and they still have the strength to fight.
If the Zoroastrian Empire loses in this battle, then the Empire has no chance at all.
Therefore, in the case of your own family is not abundant, it is better to be cautious and be safe. It is better to take a conservative strategy than to suffer defeat and destroy the country and the species in the next time.
