After Jiang Jian came in, the mountain shouted long live, Li Yi pulled Jiang Yin up, and said: "Zhong Yi sent an envoy, but I didn't expect today's situation. Vologasis VI was defeated so quickly, and Zhong Yi contributed a lot. ”

Jiang Jian said: "The emperor has broken the general. But if it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, the end will be achieved by going to the soup. ”

Chen Qingzhi and Ma Chaoren had more than 200,000 people, all the way, so they came to the Syrian region.

Syria is a country with a long history and an ancient civilization, and there were primitive humans in Syria as far back as the early Paleolithic period. Around the 4th millennium BC, the inhabitants began to settle there and used bronze tools. In the 3rd millennium BC, Syria transitioned from a primitive society to a slave society, and a number of slave city-states centered on commercial cities emerged.

Between 3000 BC and 1000 BC, the nomadic Sems of the Arabian Peninsula made three great migrations to Syria and its vicinity. In the last few hundred years of the 3rd millennium BC, the Amoreans of the Sem entered Syria and founded many small kingdoms, forming the first Semund industrialization of Syria. Around the 2nd millennium BCE, the second group of Semites to move into Syria, Lebanon and Palestine on a large scale was the Canaanites. They established a number of separate city-states on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean and in the interior, creating the Canaanite culture.

At the end of the 2nd millennium BC, Syria entered the Iron Age. At that time, a group of Canaanite people, namely the Phoenicians, who lived in the middle of the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, developed seafaring trade and promoted economic and cultural exchanges among the countries bordering the Mediterranean. At the same time, the Phoenician script with 22 consonant letters was created, which made a great contribution to world culture.

From the 2nd millennium BC to the middle of the 1st millennium BCE, the third group of Semus who migrated into Syria were the Aramaeais. They built cities such as Hama and Damascus and used the Aramaic script, which is a valuable heritage of Syrian culture.

From the 2nd millennium BC to the 6th century BCE, the Hyksos, Huryans, Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Persians entered and fought for Syria.

In 333 BC, Alexander the Great defeated the Persian Empire's army and occupied Syria. By the time of the Seleucid Kingdom (312~64 BC), Greek culture and Semuite culture penetrated into each other to form a Hellenistic Syrian culture, thus providing an important source for the formation of Arab culture.

In 64 BC, Rome annexed Syria. During Roman rule, Syria was home to the Arab states founded by the Palmyras. From the 2nd century to the 3rd century AD, the Palmyra people played an active intermediary role in the trade between East and West.

Present-day Syria, also known as Palmyra, is under the rule of the Sabbatical Empire. Due to the deployment of troops from various places by Vologasis VI, the Syrian region was not spared. Although there are many cities, the garrison is pitiful. Chen Qingzhi and Ma Chao mobilized the servant armies of all ethnic groups, promised to plunder for three days, and ordered them to attack the city.

With stars in their eyes, the servant armies of all clans carried the ladder and launched a siege battle with their lives. One city after another was quickly conquered, and the servant armies of all tribes, except for those who died, each made a large fortune. The wealthy families in the various cities were unlucky, and the Tang army added a huge amount of supplies as a result.

Guan Yu was relieved to see that the plundering of the servants of all ethnic groups no longer hurt innocent people and slaves, and left some men and horses to defend the place, as for how to govern it, it was something that the emperor and the military advisors considered.

………………

Tessie is under the lockdown.

The Tang army and the men and horses of Ardaban IV prepared siege equipment for more than a month, and to see that it was almost over, Li Yi decided to start the siege.

Vologasis VI did not want to sit idly by and ordered the general Sebins to go out of the city to attack the Don army. But the Tang army had already prepared, and under the command of Li Jing, it defeated the rest army. Thanks to Sabbins's extra heart, he shrank at the back of the line, and the 50,000 Sabbatians who left the city left more than half of their corpses and ran into the city in disgrace.

Vologasis VI saw that his best general had also suffered defeat, and never said anything about leaving the city again.

Vologasis VI no longer sent troops out of the city, but the armies of the Don and Aldaban IV began to storm Ctesiphon.

Vologasis VI and his men have summed up a set of mature experience in dealing with the attack of the Don army. On the tall city wall, every other section, thick wooden planks were erected, covered with soaked quilts, close to the side of the city wall, supported by thick wooden sticks, and the soldiers at the head of the city hid behind the planks once they found out that the Tang army was attacking the city with a stone-throwing cart.

Once this method was used, it effectively protected the soldiers at the head of the city, and although the wooden planks smashed by the boulders "banged", they could not do anything about it. Although the oil burned violently, it was covered with sand, and the flames were quickly extinguished.

………………

The Tang army's long-range siege equipment was smashed for three days in a row, and the Tang army was unable to capture the city, and Li Yi couldn't help frowning. The once unfavorable siege method, should it be broken under the closure of Tessie?

Li Yi found Guo Jia, Sima Yi and Zhou Yu and several other military advisors to discuss, but they were also at a loss.

Li Yi put a movie in his mind to recall the classic siege clips he saw in later films and televisions, and there are various methods, but they are not suitable for the current situation.

Sima Yi stared at the map and said, "Your Majesty, if you intercept the river and flood Tai Xifeng, will it work?" ”

Li Yi shook his head and said: "Taixi is high in the north and low in the south, and the water is rushing, so we can't stay, which will only increase the difficulty of our army's siege." ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "Also, Taixi sealed the city in a huge area, and it was not a day's work to build a dam to hold back the water." What happens if a fire breaks out in the city? ”

"Fire." Li Yi's eyes lit up and he muttered to himself, "It's just how to go into the city and set fires?" Special forces? There were no heights around Ctesiphon, and the airborne detachment of the special forces could not take advantage of it. ”

Sima Yi said: "What if the airborne detachment attacked from the tall tower on a windy night? ”

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "I have to ask General Luo Cheng about this matter." ”

Luo Cheng's answer made Li Yi and Sima Yi annoyed. If the terrain of the airborne detachment is too low, it will not be able to fly far, and once the fire is lit, the people of Anxi will soon be able to discover the traces of the airborne detachment, and then a thousand airborne detachments may not return.

Guo Jia remembered the way to dig the tunnel, but was vetoed by Li Yi shaking his head, the moat of Taixifeng is three zhang deep, so how deep does the tunnel have to be dug to avoid the moat? With the current level of the Tang Army, it will definitely not be able to do it.

Even if the Tang army was able to dig such a deep tunnel, it would still not be successful, because Ctesiphon was located at the confluence of the Tigris and Diyala rivers, and the groundwater level was high, and the water would come out before it could reach a zhang. Dig below three zhang, and the tunnel will directly become an underground river.

After discussing it, Li Yi walked out of the camp angrily and walked in the sunset to relax. The red and round sunset, radiating the last bit of afterglow, the colorful glow hangs all over the western sky, constantly changing colors, and the end drops are pleasing to the eye. Flocks of birds return to their nests and sing cheerful songs.

Li Yi watched the birds flapping their wings in a daze, flying to the city of Tessie in groups, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, and shouted loudly: "There is." Preserve filial piety, and quickly send someone to summon the generals to come. ”

When all the generals gathered, Li Yi suppressed his happy mood and said loudly to the generals: "Early tomorrow morning, leave a part of the soldiers to guard the enemy troops in the city, and all the rest of the horses and horses will all spread their nets to catch birds." Remember, it must be a bird that flew out of the city of Ctesiphon, and all of them must be alive without the slightest damage. ”

Everyone was confused when they heard this, what does the emperor mean by this? Is the whole army catching birds and playing?

Zhang Fei couldn't hold his breath and asked loudly: "Big brother, this big enemy is now, let the soldiers catch birds, won't you let the rest people laugh?" ”

Li Yi laughed, and when the laughing group of people were stunned, he said something. Everyone applauded and hurriedly went back to arrange.

………………

With Li Yi's order, the next day before dawn, good guys, hundreds of thousands of people in the Tang army set up tall wooden sticks outside the city of Taixifeng, and a large net was opened on the wooden sticks, and countless bird cages were placed on the ground, and the bird cages were full of food and drink.

Seeing the unusual behavior of the Don army at the head of the city, the rest of the people were puzzled and quickly reported to Vologasis VI.

Vologasis VI also did not know the essentials, and asked the ministers of Anxi: "What the hell is the hateful Tang army doing?" Do they want to attack the city with birds? ”

Vologasis VI's brother Kazmi laughed and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, is it that the Tang Army has been on the expedition for too long, and the birds under his crotch are not enjoyable, and he wants to get a few real birds to play with." ”

As soon as Kazmi's words came out, the ministers who were resting in peace all laughed.

Prime Minister Dalirsa Khan said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, is it that the grain and grass of the Tang Army are light and tasteless, and you want to catch some birds to satisfy your hunger?" ”

Vologasis VI looked sadly at these men who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, when was it, and they were still in the mood to joke, the Tang Army must have their deep meaning in catching birds, but they couldn't guess it for a while.

Looking at the smiling subordinates, Vologasis VI snorted with a cold face, and immediately became silent.

Vologasis VI roared loudly: "You stupid pig-like existence, the Tang Army hunts birds, you definitely want to be unfavorable to us, what will you do besides laughing at the Tang Army?" Let me move my head to think about Tang Jun's next move. ”

At this time, a minister came out and said to Vologasis VI: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Han people have a non-sincere and moving story, called Hongyan Chuanshu, which is about the previous dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a minister named Su Wu, when he was an envoy to the Xiongnu, he was detained by the Huns, and the Huns' Shan Yu sent Su Wu to their extreme north, a place called Beihai to shepherd sheep......"
