Chapter 1324: Soldiers Descend on Tessiphon
The four-way ambush arranged by Haddadi never expected that the Tang army would be willing to seek the near and far, and sent special forces to investigate all the way from the top of the mountain. The ambush was detected by the special forces in turn, either by force or by skill, and countless remnants of the defeated soldiers fled back to Bechston.
Seeing that he had lost two lieutenant generals and lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, Haddadi secretly disturbed his scalp, thinking about how the Tang Army could have such tactics, so that his clever plan was discovered, so that he returned defeated.
Haddadi thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out the slightest clue, so he had to cheer up and prepare for defense.
………………
Xu Huang followed all the way, and successfully came to the city of Bechiston, and when he saw the city built between the mountains and the main road, he couldn't help frowning.
Seeing the arrival of the Tang Army, Haddadi wanted to be brave and lead his troops into battle, and the remaining two lieutenants persuaded each other bitterly. Haddadi did not listen, but led three thousand men out of the city gates, and waited in procession. Outside the city of Behistown is a mountain road, and there is no way to put more people and horses, and 3,000 people is already the limit.
When Xu Huang saw the enemy army out of the city, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, raised his big axe, and killed him.
Haddadi was conceited and heroic, raised his gun to meet the battle, less than three times, was cut off by Xu Huang with an axe, Haddadi's arms were weak, the tiger's mouth burst, and he fled back to the horse. Xu Huang chased after him, and a rain of arrows shot from the rest of the array, so he had to swing his axe to hit the arrows and slowly retreat.
Haddadi fled back to his camp and shouted, "Go back to the city quickly." ”
Xu Huang swung the plate axe, and launched a number of bed ballistas in the formation, and the iron arrows screamed, shooting at the enemy.
The Sabbatarians had heard of the power of the crossbow in bed, and their feet were thrashed upside down, and they ran faster than rabbits.
The Don army formed positions outside the city of Bechiston and prepared for a storm. Xu Huang checked the terrain and secretly thought that there were too many soldiers in the attack, and it seemed that this credit was going to be given to Luo Cheng's special forces again.
………………
Haddadi retreated into the city and ordered to block the city gate hole with stones, saying that the generals of the Tang Army were too powerful, and they would not confront him head-on if they killed Lao Tzu.
Xu Huang commanded the men and horses to blow up the city gate with a bed crossbow, and when he saw that the city gate was full of stones, he was secretly annoyed, how could this rest person do this, so that the difficulty of attacking the city increased a lot.
After thinking for a while, Xu Huang had a plan. So, the oil used the bed crossbow to shoot a large number of rockets at the head of the city, and for a time the smoke billowed from the head of the city, and the sound of explosions continued.
Haddadi ordered the soldiers to go down to the city to hide, anyway, the Tang army couldn't shoot an unlimited amount, right?
Xu Huang stood on a high place and saw the enemy disappear at the head of the city, so he ordered 3,000 cavalry to tie the oil tank with ropes, round it and throw it into the city.
Behistown's side of the mountain road was narrow, and the three thousand cavalry were running tightly. The canister of oil flew out of the air, crossed the city, and fell into the city. The bed crossbow then raised its angle and fired rockets, and a fire quickly broke out in the city.
Haddadi commanded his men and horses to extinguish the fire with sand, and although the smoke was so thick that the soldiers coughed constantly, there were not many casualties.
Xu Huang couldn't help frowning when he saw that the enemy army had dealt with it well.
In the evening, Zhang Yan led the reinforcements to arrive, and at this time the Tang army and horses were close to 80,000 people, densely arranged on the mountain road, stretching for more than 20 miles.
Xu Huang found Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan, and said worriedly: "The peaks on both sides, remember to send more guards." Our army is cramped and low-lying areas, and if the enemy attackes, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. ”
Zhao Yun and Zhang Yanwei were taught, and a large number of soldiers were sent to the mountains on both sides to strengthen vigilance.
………………
At the head of Behistown, the scorching soldiers smelled a scorching smell in their nostrils, and looked cautiously at the Tang army camp.
In the darkness of the night, a sharp arrow came silently, and the rest soldier at the head of the city clutched his throat, fell headlong, and fell on the city.
The soldier next to him thought that his companion was suffering from some serious illness, and just wanted to run over to take a look, but another arrow arrived, and the soldier also fell to the ground.
The unusual movement immediately made the soldiers at the head of the city panic, and the lieutenant general Asllani got the news and leaned out to look outside the dark city, trying to find the direction where the sharp arrow came from.
Who knew that Asllani's body had just leaned out, and several sharp arrows were shot together, but fortunately, Asllani reacted quickly, and the short knife in his hand flashed and shot down the sharp arrows.
When I looked at it again, under the faint moonlight, more than a dozen black shadows ran towards the Tang army camp in a panic.
Asllani breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "The Tang army intends to harass our army, you all cheer me up, don't let them sneak attack at night and attack the city." ”
After saying that, he turned around, but unexpectedly, a bright steel knife slammed into his throat, it was Luo Cheng.
Asllani was shocked, and when he looked left and right, all the soldiers at the head of the city fell to the ground one by one, and countless men in black held a strange weapon in the direction of the city.
Asllani was just about to roar, his neck was cold, and Luo Cheng's steel knife had already cut his throat.
The special forces under the city saw the torches shaking at the head of the city, took out their flying claws one by one, and threw them at the head of the city, and then countless black shadows moved quickly, climbing towards the head of the city.
The stones in the city gate cave were cleaned up in silence, and Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan each led their cavalry and rushed into the city of Bechiston.
Haddadi was woken up in his sleep by his own soldiers, and he didn't care to put on his armor, so he fled out of the city in a panic surrounded by his own soldiers.
The gate to Ctesiphon was opened, and Li Yi led a large army through Behistown to Ctesiphon.
At the same time, the army of the southern route also broke through the city of Susa, and the army finally met under the capital of the Empire.
………………
Jiang Jian was thriving under Aldaban IV, and the rest of the west was already under Aldaban's control.
Jiang Jian received the news from Sima Yi and came to find Artaban IV and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Rest, our army has surrounded Ctesiphon, and our emperor has asked Your Majesty to also send troops to Ctesiphon to attack this city together. I wonder if His Majesty's intention is to support it? ”
Since Artaban IV used Jiang Jian as a general, he was proud of the city and conquered the city, and when he learned that the Tang army was besieging Ctesiphon, he said loudly: "This is a good opportunity to kill the hateful Vologasis, how could I miss it?" General Jiang Yin, I order you to lead an army of 100,000 and attack Tai Xifeng together with your Tang army. ”
Jiang Jian said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, there are more than 300,000 people and horses in Taixi Fengcheng, and there are countless grains and grasses; The city of Seleucia had 200,000 men and horses, and it was a horn with Ctesiphon. There are only 300,000 troops and horses in the Tang Army, and we only send 100,000 horses, is it a little less? ”
Aldaban IV muttered, "General Jiang Yin, what do you mean? ”
Jiang Jian said: "Kill Vologasis VI, and the Rest Empire will be yours of His Majesty the Emperor." If you can't help with all your might, how can our emperor give it up? ”
Aldaban IV has reached 300,000 men and horses, if all of them are driven to Ctesiphon, what will happen to the territory he gets? Severus of the Roman Empire had died of illness, and his son Caracalla succeeded to the throne. This Caracalla was not a living lord, he had long coveted the land of Persia, and his goal was to seize all the lands around the Mediterranean, and the rest of Lydia, Silesia, and Syria were all within his target range, and these places were also the territory of Artaban IV. An army of 300,000 marched to Ctesiphon, and the killing of Artaban IV would not have agreed.
Artaban IV said: "The two cities of Ctesiphon and Seleucia, Vologasis' army of 500,000, then I will send 200,000 troops, so that with the addition of 300,000 horses of the Tang army, it will be equal to the enemy's strength." ”
Jiang Jian said: "The two cities of Ctesiphon and Celeucia have always been the capitals of the Rest Empire, with tall cities and thick walls. China's art of war: ten are encircled, and five are attacked. On both sides of the enemy, the strength is equal, and it is very difficult to attack the city. ”
Artaban IV asked, "General Jiang Yin, what do you mean?" ”
Jiang Jian said: "I also hope that His Majesty the Emperor will recruit people, transport grain and grass, and assist the army." ”
Aldaban IV said: "This is easy. It's just that there are nearly a million young and strong people in foreign countries on the border, and they are eyeing each other, how can it be good? ”
Jiang Jian smiled and said: "Young people from foreign countries come from afar, and what they ask for is nothing more than money, why doesn't His Majesty the Emperor send someone to contact him?" They were given large quantities of gold, silver, and jewels to induce them into Rome. In this way, there will inevitably be unrest in Rome, Caracalla will not be able to look east, and His Majesty's land will be preserved. ”
Aldaban IV patted the case and said: "General Jiang Jian is really a genius, and you have thought of such a wonderful way." You immediately lead the army there, and my side will immediately send people to contact the young people of the foreign country. ”
Jiang Jian said goodbye and left, lit up 200,000 elites, and killed Taixi to seal the city.
………………
Li Yi sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and generals from all walks of life came to visit. In fact, there were more than 500,000 soldiers and horses in the Tang Army, and Jiang Jian concealed the military situation in order to hollow out the foundation of Aldaban IV and prepare for the next battle.
In addition to the generals who stayed in various important cities, the main generals all went to Taixifeng: Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Zhou Tai, Zhang Yan, Zhang Xiu, Wen Ping, and Li Dian. Of course, Li Cunxiao, Gao Chong and Dian Wei are inseparable from each other.
Jiang Jian arranged the men and horses of Ardaban IV and hurried to see Li Yi.
Knowing that Jiang Jian was coming, Li Yi laughed and said: "I didn't expect Jiang Zhongyi to become the guest of the fourth throne of Ardaban, leading 200,000 troops, what a great general." ”
For Jiang Yin, Li Yi knows very little. However, his son Jiang Wei is a famous man in the history of the Three Kingdoms and a general of Shu Han. It can be said that after Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu Kingdom was supported by Jiang Wei alone. has been fighting against Cao Wei for more than 30 years, and finally surrendered in Adoudu, who couldn't be supported, and ordered Jiang Wei to surrender. Jiang Wei's sergeants all drew their swords and slashed stones to vent their anger, but helplessly, Jiang Wei led the army to surrender to Zhonghui.
After Jiang Wei surrendered to Zhong Hui, he knew that Zhong Hui would rebel, so he persuaded Zhong Hui to try to kill Wei General, Zhong Hui framed Deng Ai on the one hand, and prepared to rebel on the other hand, but the matter was revealed, Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui and Shu general Zhang Yi were all killed, and Deng Ai was also killed by Tian Xu. It can be said that Jiang Wei used his death to bring Cao Wei's two most outstanding generals to the funeral.
