Chapter 1327: Conquering Ctesiphon

Jiang Jian always paid attention to the movements of the rest army, Vologasis VI made such a big move outside the West Gate, Jiang Yin had already gotten the news, in addition to arranging for people to intercept him, and at the same time Pegasus reported to Li Yi.

Less than 300,000 defenders in Taixifeng's city could run out of the city, and these 300,000 people held back a fire in their hearts, and soon killed Jiang Yin's Dazhai.

A fierce offensive and defensive battle began, and the soldiers of the Parthian Empire, under the command of the generals, recklessly attacked the walls of the army of Artaban IV again and again.

Jiang Jian stood on a high place, calmly commanded, and repelled the attacks of Vologasis VI's army one after another.

………………

Sabins failed in his attack and hurriedly reported to Vologasis VI, who was furious and said: "Use the cover of the giant shield, gather all the war elephants and war horses to storm the enemy village, and kill all the hateful rebellions of Ardaban for me." ”

Sabins also knew that if he could not successfully break through the camp of Artaban IV, once the Tang army was reinforced, it would definitely be a fierce battle, 300,000 horses, and I don't know how many people ran to Seleucia City alive? Therefore, after receiving the order of Vologasis VI, Sebins mobilized war elephants and horses and launched a charge against the camp of the army of Artaban IV.

Jiang Jian knew that the first walled wall could not be guarded, so he ordered to ignite the firewood and grass piled up under the wall, and the soldiers quickly retreated to the second wall.

As soon as the fire was lit, the war elephants of the Rest Empire army ran to the wall, and their huge bodies collided with each other, and the wall cracked.

In the face of the burning fire, the footsteps of the war elephant hesitated, and no matter how much the elephant slave urged him, he stood still.

Sabins ordered his men to dismount, dig up the dirt, and cover the fire.

The fire was quickly extinguished, and the horses were fast and rushed towards the second wall. The rain of arrows of the soldiers of Artaban IV could not stop the soldiers of the Resting Empire army who were not afraid of death, and the second wall was quickly broken.

Jiang Jian saw that the rest army was already red-eyed, and the general ordered that all the men and horses should withdraw from the camp and set up a formation in the field, as for the camp, they were all poured with fire oil and burned.

Sebins broke through three walls in a row, beaming proudly, and commanded his men and horses to continue the charge. Unexpectedly, the soldiers of Artaban IV took the initiative to withdraw, which made the soldiers of the Rest Empire stunned for a moment.

Sebins scolded: "A bunch of stupid pigs, hurry up and charge, only by breaking out of the enemy camp can we have hope." ”

Before they could reach the enemy's camp, the enemy camp was on fire everywhere, mixed with acrid smoke, and rushed towards their own men and horses.

Sebins repeated his old trick and ordered the soldiers to take soil to extinguish the fire, but the camp stretched for more than 30 miles, and the soldiers of Aldaban IV set fire to it while retreating, how would the fire be extinguished for a while and a half? Waiting for the fire to extinguish itself, it is estimated that the daylily has already cooled down.

………………

Vologasis VI knew that the purpose of Ardaban was to delay his ranks and wait for the Don army to come and encircle.

At this time, time is everything, and since the front cannot be broken through, let's take a detour.

The men and horses of the Sabbath Empire turned around and ran south along the camp, and Sabins rushed to Vologasis VI out of breath and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the enemy camp is not far south of the Tigris River, if the Don army intercepts us, how can our army cross the river smoothly?" ”

Vologasis VI said: "At this time, do you have a better way? ”

Sebins used his brain, thought about it for a long time, and was stunned that he couldn't think of a way, so he had to say: "It's still His Majesty's Emperor's clever method." ”

Where was Vologasis VI in the mood to listen to Sebins's sycophants, his face was gloomy, and he couldn't stop whipping his war horse, hoping to come to the Tigris River and cross the river before the arrival of the Don army.

………………

Unexpectedly, the god of light could not bless the king of kings, in the city, under the light of the fire of the camp, a team of Tang cavalry showed off their might and killed it, headed by the general holding Fang Tian's halberd, the red rabbit horse under the crotch, and running like the wind.

The person who came was Lu Bu, and when he saw the men and horses of the Rest Empire, the halberd was raised high, and he shouted: "Repeater attack." ”

The Tang army raised the repeating crossbow, and the forward cavalry did not engage the resting people, avoided the enemy ranks, bypassed, and the crossbows fired, and a rain of arrows fell into the ranks of the resting people.

Vologasis VI, under the protection of his personal guards, bowed his head and rushed forward, seeing that the Don army was only concerned with releasing arrows, and hit the horse and galloped.

Lu Bu shouted: "Throw a gun!" ”

Behind him, 50,000 Tang cavalry plugged in a repeating crossbow, pulled out a throwing spear, and threw it repeatedly. LΓΌ Bu leaped into the enemy line and cut the ranks of the resting people in two. The cavalry in the rear finished projecting, drew their steel swords, and then slashed in. Fierce hand-to-hand combat began.

Behind the rest of the people, a general was like the bottom of a pot, and the roar was like thunder, it was Zhang Fei, who led the men and horses to kill him.

The rest of the people were disturbed for most of the night, physically and mentally exhausted, and the Tang army chased and beat them again, and there were more than 10,000 dead and wounded on board.

Vologasis VI was running, and a group of cavalry came over in front of him, and it was Zhao Yun who came to take the white horse and silver spear.

Zhao Yun swung his spear and fired arrows, single-handedly slaughtered into the enemy formation, and the cavalry in the rear put away their crossbows, lined up in a cone, followed Zhao Yun, and tore a hole in the forward of the resting people.

Vologasis VI let Sabine go up, and he himself led the elite, avoiding the advance of the Don army, and rushed forward with a diagonal stab. When Zhao Yun saw it, he didn't stop it, but only led the troops forward to kill.

Vologasis VI saw that he was getting farther and farther away from Zhao Yun's men and horses, and secretly said that he was lucky, and was running, a team of men and horses in front of him blocked the way, a general, sitting upright on a horse, wearing a black cloth cover on his left eye, a single eye, exuding a faint blue light, and a spear in his hand, which made him majestic, it was Xiahoudun.

Vologasis VI's heart was already cold, how could the Tang Army's reaction be so fast?

Xiahoudun's eyes lit up, he raised the spear in his hand, and the soldiers behind him leveled the crossbow.

The crossbow is worthy of being the nemesis of the cavalry, and it can fire ten arrows in quick succession in one round, and the Tang army is surrounded in a fan shape, and the arrows are aimed at the remnants of Vologasis VI.

Sebins relied on war elephants and cavalry to break through the attacks of LΓΌ Bu and Zhao Yun in a row, and brought seventy or eighty thousand people to save Vologasis VI.

………………

Relying on the cover of the huge body of the war elephant, Vologasis VI escaped death and came to the banks of the Tigris River with 30,000 scattered horses.

The Tigris River cut off the direct connection with the city of Seleucia, so Vologasis VI built several wooden bridges along the river to facilitate access.

When the Sabbatarians came to the river to look for the wooden bridge, they could not help but shout: "Bitter!

It turns out that on the Tigris, where there is still a bridge.

Vologasis VI looked to heaven and prayed: Almighty God of Light, appear quickly to save your faithful believers.

………………

On the west side of the Tigris River, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and a group of people and horses flocked to kill, it was Jiang Jian who saw Vologasis VI abandon the attack on the camp, turned south, guessed the intention of the Sabbatarians, and led the army to outflank it.

Vologasis VI looked to the east of the river bank again, and the cavalry of the Don Army raised smoke and dust in the sky, and also screamed and killed.

There is a great river in front of me, and the army is chasing on three sides, can't I, the king of kings, be blessed by the god of light?

Sabine looked at Vologasis VI and shouted, "Your Majesty, go down the river quickly, swim across the other bank, and I will stop the pursuers." ”

Vologasis VI looked at the already emaciated general in front of him, the so-called Bandang saw loyalty, and it was this person who was truly loyal to himself.

If Sabins stays, he will definitely die for life, his own men and horses have fought for most of the night, and he has already exhausted his physical strength, and the army has no fighting spirit and will have no fighting spirit.

With tears in his eyes, Vologasis VI said to Sabins: "General, take care. ”

With that, he waved his hand, and went down to the river surrounded by the guards.

When Sabence saw that the Emperor was gone, he shouted, "Line up, meet the enemy on both sides, and buy time for His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The rest soldiers dragged their heavy bodies and set up a formation, and the men and horses on both sides quickly collided and fought together.

………………

Vologasis VI came to the depths of the river, and his horse swam slowly to the opposite shore with his horse swinging his limbs.

Vologasis VI closed his eyes, put his hands on his chest, and recited verses from the Persian scriptures, and it seemed that the god of light had not given up on himself.

An hour later, when the sky was already dark, the captain of the guard said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you will soon be on the other side." ”

Vologasis VI opened his eyes, and the southern bank of the Tigris River was towering, and he couldn't help but lift his spirits, and shouted: "Speed up, rush to the embankment, and we will hurry to Seleucia." ”

Before Vologasis VI could finish his shouting, countless Tang troops stood in the woods on the south bank, one by one holding crossbows, and their sharp arrows flashed with cold light under the rays of the morning sun.

Vologasis VI looked up to the sky and shouted: "God do not bless me. ”

The soldiers raised their shields and protected Vologasis VI in the middle.

When Zhou Tai saw it, he sneered: "Repeater crossbow and fire oil attack." ”

Vologasis VI and a group of guards were tired and almost as tired as a dead dog, and at this time, the arm that raised the shield was trembling, where was there any resistance to it. The arrows and oil packets of the Tang army flew mercilessly, and the poor last emperor was hit by several arrows, fell into the river, and was carried away by the boiling river.

Zhou Tai saw that there was no longer a standing resting person, and said: "Clean up the battlefield." ”

………………

The fire in the city of Taixi was extinguished in a day and a night, and there were many dead soldiers and civilians in the city, so Li Yi asked people to contact some of the foreign servant soldiers and hired them to bury the dead and clean up the ruins. As for the Tang army, it has a more important task, that is, to continue to attack the last city of the Rest Empire, Seleucia.

It's a pity that Ctesiphon, such a beautiful capital, disappeared in the fire.
