Chapter 445: The Dragon of the Mesopotamian Sky

As Ctesiphon's glorious hundred-zhang arch was smashed by Yang Feng's mace, turning into a pile of broken bricks, the surging army of tens of thousands completed the cleansing of the city.

And the whole city was demolished.

Ctesiphon, which represents the glory and glory of the Persian Empire, became a ruin, and the wood obtained from the demolition of the city was used to rebuild the wooden bridge across the Tigris River, although Mansur burned the wooden bridge when he fled, but a small bridge only more than 100 meters long was not worth mentioning for Yang Feng at all.

Just as the wooden bridge was miraculously facing the rising sun across the Tigris River, the Seleucid defenders of the West Bank and Ctesiphon, which together constituted the twin cities of Ctesiphon, fled without a fight.

They could not fight such an enemy.

This demon is clearly going to Kufa, these big food strong men who are actually recruited from all over the world have not yet had the consciousness to fight to the end to defend the capital, and everything in the capital does not belong to them, on the contrary, their own lives are really their own.

Because the defenders of Seleuc fled without a fight, Yang Feng's army continued to cross the Tigris River, rolling forward along the rich plain between the two rivers, and at this time, the soldiers of all ethnic groups under him lost interest in the cities along the way, and the torrent of hundreds of thousands of cavalry did not care about burning and looting along the way, and rushed at full speed towards the southwest, and the golden dragon meandered forward above their heads, and the light of the sun and moon shone on the earth.

Their next stop was Sheila.

The next morning, Yang Feng's army arrived on the east bank of the Hira River.

At this time, it is still a dry season.

The water of the Euphrates River mainly comes from the Plateau of Asia Minor, every winter is the dry period, generally in March to May began to rise, this time is just the beginning of February, the reason why the plain of the two rivers is green, just because there is no real winter here, what kind of winter is the winter of more than ten degrees above zero, but the real source of the river water has just begun to emerge a little green! In fact, even during the flood season, the two rivers were not big rivers, and most of the rivers had already disappeared into the desert when they flowed here from Asia Minor. During the battle of Qadisia in the decisive battle between Persia and the Great Eclipse, the Persians could not bear the weight of the war elephants because the pontoon bridges could not bear the weight of the war elephants, and even built a sand bar across the Euphrates River in a very short time, and then the war elephants crossed the river by sand bars.

The thirty-meter-wide river that diverged from the Euphrates River, at this time the water was no more than a meter deep, and it could not stop Yang Feng's army at all, and hundreds of thousands of troops rode their war horses through the river dozens of miles wide, and then surrounded the city of Sheila.

The defenders did not surrender.

But their stubborn resistance brought them ruin, and when Yang Feng personally smashed down the city wall with a mace, the surging army washed the city in blood.

Then they moved on.

A day later, Yang Feng's army again broke through the fortress of Kifl on the east bank of the Hindiye River.

It was also the last fortress on the outskirts of Kufa.

The Euphrates River has become two streams in the northern part of the Hindiyah, one is the Hira River, the other is the Hindiyah River west of the city of Kiffler, and the west bank of the Hindira River is more than ten miles south of the capital of the Great Food Kufa, but it is completely different from the Hila River, this is a real river more than 100 meters wide, so Yang Feng must also build the bridge first, just when he washed Kifl in blood, and demolished the city to prepare to repair the bridge, Mansur's messenger arrived, his purpose was ......

"Summation?"

Yang Feng sat on the chariot and said with a smile.

"General, as long as the general withdraws the army, we are willing to offer a million gold coins, and if the general has any other requirements, he can also put them forward."

The messenger fell to his knees and groveled.

Mansur has no other way, in fact, after the defeat of Bagubai, he has no power to return to heaven, what he can hope for is nothing more than the arrival of the big food army from other places, but because of the distance, the real ones who can come over are actually stationed in southern Persia, as well as Syria, and the border with Eastern Rome, at this time their border with Eastern Rome is in eastern Turkey, except for the troops in these three places, it is impossible for others to rush back within a month, but Yang Feng's speed is too fast, No fortress could withstand this demon for more than a day.

He had no chance to wait for King Qin's army to arrive.

What's more, in addition to Syria, it is difficult to say whether the troops from other places can come, Persia is already in chaos, the governor of Shiraz has just sent someone to ask for help, the Kurds in the north have also rebelled, and the army returning from the border has to go to Mosul, and it is difficult to say whether the Kurds will let this army pass!

In short, King Qin's army is hopeless.

And the Tigris River did not hold back the demon army, then the Hindiya River could not hold it either, the walls of Ctesiphon did not last a day, and the walls of Kufa could not hold either.

Mansour was well aware of this.

So summing is the only option.

"I want your emperor's concubines to come and be slaves for me, and you agree?"

Yang Feng said.

There was laughter all around him.

"It's just a few women, if the general likes it, our Caliph is willing to give the general a few beauties."

The messenger said with a smiling face.

It's just a woman, there is no difference between a woman and an animal in them, and besides, how does this demon know which Khaliva's concubine is, and when the time comes, he can't know that he will send him dozens of young and beautiful girls and say that it is Halif, in fact, as long as this demon really withdraws his army, it doesn't matter if Mansur gives him one of his wives.

"Well, you're very generous!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"We have always been generous to our friends."

The messenger said humbly.

"But a million gold is too little, isn't it? Are you treating us as friends? ”

Yang Feng said.

"How much does the general think is appropriate?"

The messenger said cautiously.

"Ten thousand!"

Yang Feng said casually.

The messenger shuddered, and almost fell straight down.

At this time, the Great Food Gold Coin is also the Umayyad Dynasty Gold Coins, weighing more than four grams, and a million gold coins are four tons, they can still take it out if they grit their teeth, and four hundred tons is completely impossible, at this time, the total gold in the world is estimated to be several thousand tons, and the gold of the entire Great Food Empire is not a big problem to add up to four hundred tons, but that is simply impossible, those gold are in the hands of major families, Mansour is just one of them, and it is impossible for those families to take out the gold to him, Besides, even if he is given to him, it will be impossible to make it up in this Kufa City!

"Ten thousand gold coins, you must send them to me at this time tomorrow, otherwise I will go and get them myself, cut out his ears and nose and throw them back!"

Yang Feng suddenly changed his face and said with a hideous face.

The wolf-like soldiers next to him swarmed up, and in the struggle and pleading of the messenger, they dragged them aside and cut off their noses and ears with knives, and the soldiers, who were accustomed to this kind of thing, actually made up for the necessary content that Yang Feng had missed, and they cut the messenger again, and then in his screams of pain, he threw it to his entourage slaves, and in a laugh, watched them cross the Euphrates River and return to Kufa by boat.

"Quick, I'll build the bridge, and you immediately go upstream and make a raft to prepare to cross the river."

Yang Feng called Abu. Mu Silin said.

"The general thinks Mansour will run away?"

Abu. Mu Silin said.

"Nonsense, he is willing to pay a million gold coins to buy us to withdraw the army, then he naturally understands that Kufa will definitely not be able to hold it, since Kufa can't hold it, why does he stay in this city?"

Yang Feng said.

Mansour must learn from Concubine Yi.

Big food is not only one Kufa, there are a lot of cities to the south, just find a place to hide first, Yang Feng doesn't have time to play hide with him, what if he wants to hide until Kuwait, Yang Feng's time is very precious, and he will go back immediately after robbing Kufa, so it is right to build a bridge here and sneak there.

Abu. Mu Silin's mind, of course, immediately understood Yang Feng's intentions.

Just when Yang Dashuai picked up a hundred-kilogram piece of wood, pestled it directly into the river, and then smashed it into two meters with the eight-hundred-kilogram mace and erected the first bridge pier. Mu Silin quietly ran to a small river upstream with a large number of Khorasan soldiers, avoided the surveillance of the big cannibals on the other side and began to build rafts, and by midnight hundreds of rafts had been made by them.

At this time, Yang Feng stepped on the bridge piers he smashed down like stilts, and smashed the bridge piers all the way to the opposite bank with the arrows and boulders thrown by the big food army on the opposite bank.

The Great Food Army on the shore screamed and scattered.

"Tell Mansour that tomorrow noon is his time of death!"

Yang Feng, who smashed all the trebuchets in one go, stood on the wreckage of the last trebuchet and shouted arrogantly at the trembling soldiers in the distance.

And on the bridge pier that he smashed down behind, the soldiers who built the bridge lay on it and kept laying planks forward and nailing them to the bridge deck, while Yang Feng was carrying a mace and wandering around the west bank like a walk. However, what they did not know was that at the same time, including Yang Feng's mounted cavalry, a total of 3,000 carefully selected cavalry, quietly boarded the raft downstream, crossed the Euphrates River under the cover of night, and just after they landed, Yang Feng immediately rushed over to join together, and then plunged into the desert to the southwest, ran thirty miles, turned southeast, and went straight to the west of Kufa, and by dawn they had driven nearly dozens of miles and bypassed Kufa to the east bank of the Hindia River.

Then, less than an hour later, they waited for their target.

But the moment they saw the target, they were dumbfounded.
