Paus's words poked the softest part of Parat's heart, making Pratt twitch involuntarily, yes, the Wave Elite Legion suffered a heavy blow, and he had an unshirkable responsibility, which was also an eternal pain in his heart, and this consequence made him have no face to return to Ctesiphon and meet his own King Majesty, after all, when he left, in front of King Shapur II, he swore that he would defeat the main force of the Jin army, completely drive the Jin army out of the Persian Empire, and restore control over Tocharian and the Transoxiana region, and nowNot only did he fail to fulfill his promise, but he also inflicted heavy losses on the elite legions of the Persian Empire, and it would not be an exaggeration for King Shapur II to order him to be killed, but he could not argue with it.

Seeing that Pratt's expression was nervous, Paus continued: "General Pratt, now the Roman legions are marching towards Ctesiphon, His Majesty the King needs your help, in order to hold Ctesiphon, you must immediately lead your troops and horses back to Ctesiphon, now is the time to employ people, His Majesty the King will not kill you, on the contrary, if General Pratt can defeat the Roman legions, His Majesty the King will completely forgive you for the sin of losing to the Jin army, this is a good opportunity to atone for your sins, General Pratt should take advantage of it!" ”

When Parate heard this, he felt that what Paus said was very reasonable, he was a Persian general, and was deeply trusted by King Shapur II, and now, the capital Ctesiphon was facing the threat of the Roman army, and he, as a Persian general, should immediately reinforce Ctesiphon to help King Shapur II resist the attack of the Roman legions, so as to tide over this crisis together, as for the defeat of the Jin army, since King Shapur II did not order the punishment, maybe he has been forgiven, at least, He could not put his capital, Ctesiphon, in danger by being ashamed to meet Shapur II.

"Paus, you're right, the Roman army has already begun to move, and I, Prath, must lead my troops into Ctesiphon before the main Roman force arrives at Ctesiphon, in order to help His Majesty the King defend Ctesiphon." The Persian general Parad nodded.

Seeing that Pratt promised to immediately lead his troops back to Ctesiphon, Paus breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and advised: "General Palat, I must say that the advance of the Roman legions will arrive at Ctesiphon in three days, and your troops and horses must speed up their march to avoid being trapped outside the city by the Roman army." ”

"Don't worry! Paus, I will abandon all the bulky guys in the barracks, and reinforce Ctesiphon lightly, and I will be able to reach Ctesiphon in three days. Pratt said with an oath.

Paus smiled very happily and said softly, "Okay, General Pratt, I will return to Ctesiphon, and we will meet in Ctesiphon in three days." ”

"Okay, Paus, let's go!" Pratt replied with a smile.

Paus happily left the Platte camp and immediately led the mission in the direction of Ctesiphon.

After Paus left, the Persian general Pratt immediately ordered his army to pack up and prepare to return to Ctesiphon, and at the same time sent a scout team to Mulu City to investigate whether what Paus said was true.

An hour later, the scouts sent by Pratt returned to the camp and told Pratt about the investigation, thus fully confirming what Paus said, the Jin army had indeed made friends with Persia and was preparing to conquer the kingdom of Tianzhu, which made Pratt very happy, and at this time, his soldiers and horses were fully ready to set off, and only need Palat's order, they could march to Ctesiphon.

Believing that the reinforcement of Ctesiphon was completely in line with King Shapur II, Pratt immediately issued a military order for his 60,000 camel cavalry to quickly reinforce the capital Ctesiphon.

Under the leadership of the Persian general Pratt, 60,000 Persian camel cavalry left the camp and marched to the capital city of Ctesiphon, leaving all the heavy equipment and supplies in place, leaving 100 men and horses to guard the supplies.

In the direction of Tocharo, the Tuyuhun King Shaxi and his 50,000 allied troops were attacking the important cities occupied by the Jin army day and night, in order to cut off the Jin army's grain routes, so that more than 100,000 Jin soldiers and horses on the front line could not be effectively supplied.

In the past few days, the offensive has made great achievements, several cities garrisoned by the Jin army have been captured by Tuyuhun King Shaxi, but several cities at the core of the crime are still controlled by the Jin army, after all, the Jin army has deployed many soldiers and horses in the most important cities, among them, the most important city has deployed 5,000 troops, the second most important city has deployed 1,000 or even 500 soldiers and horses, and has recruited many local people as auxiliary soldiers, so that the defense is relatively strong, But in the face of the superior soldiers and horses under the command of Chai Xi, there is still a lot of pressure.

Dozens of small countries in the Tocharian region have attached to the Great Jin, it stands to reason that when the Jin army is attacked, they should all come to the rescue, but this is not the case, although these small countries have a large number of soldiers and horses, but they are very weak, in front of the elite Tuyuhun and Tianzhu coalition army, they seem very weak, and they don't even have the courage to attack, under the urging of the Jin generals, seven or eight Tocharian soldiers and horses reinforced the Jin army, But they only led the troops to set up a large camp in a dangerous position more than ten miles away from the city, and they did not dare to take a step forward, so they could be said to have all watched from the sidelines, so as not to suffer heavy losses to the soldiers and horses under their command.

The Tocharian soldiers and horses could not be counted on at all, and the Jin defenders could only rely on less than one-tenth of the enemy's strength to support them, and bid farewell to Hua'an in front of them, asking the army to come to the rescue.

Of course, if all the soldiers and horses of the Jin army in the Tocharian region were concentrated and the local soldiers and horses of Tocharian were coerced to act together, it may not be impossible to repel the 50,000 allied troops of the broken Xi, but many of the cities controlled by the Jin army were strategic points and could not be abandoned at will, so as not to be taken advantage of by the broken Xi coalition army, which would cause the complete collapse of the supply line of the Jin army.

And Tuyuhun King Shaxi took advantage of this, so he led the main force of 50,000 to attack the cities garrisoned by the Jin army one by one, thus creating a tenfold or even hundredfold advantage of troops, and capturing the cities garrisoned by the Jin army with an absolute superiority of troops.

The small city garrisoned by three or five hundred Jin soldiers was completely unable to resist the attack of the coalition army under the command of Xi Xi, and it would basically be broken within a few hours, and the Jin army defending the city would either die in battle or retreat to a larger city to join the Jin army soldiers and horses stationed in the big city, so as to gather more strength.

The city garrisoned by 1,000 Jin soldiers can only resist the attack of the coalition army under the command of Broken Xi for a day or two, and the city will still fall quickly, and the city garrisoned by 3,000 Jin troops and 5,000 Jin troops has a relatively strong defense, at least so far, the first city with 3,000 troops has not been broken by the coalition army under Broken Xi, however, the gap of more than ten times the strength of the troops still puts a lot of pressure on the Jin army stationed in the city, and the tenfold strength advantage is enough to offset the advantage of the Jin army's equipment, so that the Jin army can only defend, and cannot launch a counterattack.

The two teams of thousands of soldiers and horses sent by the coalition army under the command of Sha Xi were very good at containing the Jin army in the other two important cities, so that they did not dare to reinforce their friendly troops while watching their friendly troops being attacked, compared to the fact that as long as they reinforced, the cities they defended were likely to be captured by the restrained soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses responsible for containing them would not allow them to successfully reinforce the friendly forces.

The current situation is completely dominated by Broken Xi, but Broken Xi knows very well in his heart that he has little time left, he must break through the core cities of the Jin army as soon as possible before the main reinforcements of the Jin army arrive, and defend these cities, even if he can't hold it, he will burn all the important materials of the Jin army in the city, so that the Jin army in front of him can not get good supplies, after all, these most important cities have hoarded a large number of materials for the Jin army, once they are burned, the Jin army will suffer a huge blow.

Seeing the soldiers under his command constantly falling from the city wall, Tuyuhun King Sha Xi's heart was very sad, Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses were running out, and every soldier lost was one less, but it was impossible to attack the city without losing soldiers and horses, which was unavoidable, which made Sha Xi very helpless.

Of course, in addition to the Tuyuhun army, Tianzhu's elite soldiers and horses are also struggling to attack the city, and have also suffered a lot of losses, but the Tianzhu army can be continuously replenished, but the Tuyuhun army cannot.

"King, if we continue to fight like this, our army's losses will be great! We cannot afford to sacrifice the lives of soldiers for nothing. A Tianzhu general said dissatisfied.

When a Tuyuhun general heard this, he said dissatisfiedly: "If the Sea Protector King lets the War Elephant Legion come to help in the battle, maybe the entire Tocharian will be taken, and now, in addition to using cloud ladders and rushing cars to attack, what other good way can there be." ”

"Our Tianzhu War Elephant Legion is used to protect the Sea Protector King, unless the Sea Guardian King personally recruits, it is impossible for the War Elephant Legion to leave Hua's City, you are just defeated by the Jin army, and the Dead Nation Legion who came to join our Tianzhu is just a legion of the dead country, what qualifications do you have to complain about our great Sea Protector King." General Tianzhu said with a glare.

When the Tuyuhun general heard this, he said angrily: "Do you think the Jin army is easy to deal with? If you Tianzhu encounters the attack of the main force of the Jin army, I am afraid that there will be no one left who has been killed a long time ago, and you dare to speak out here. ”

"What do you say, if you don't accept it, get out of Tianzhu, we don't welcome you, hum." The Tianzhu generals were also furious.

Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, Tuyuhun King Shaxi hurriedly stopped: "Okay, don't quarrel, now we are all a family, the Jin army is our common enemy, we have to find a way to break through the city where the Jin army is stationed as soon as possible, instead of fighting in the nest here, understand?" ”

Seeing that Sha Xi spoke, all the generals of Tuyuhun were silent, and the generals of Tianzhu also closed their mouths when they saw this.

"Report, king, the Jin army general Song Cheng personally led an army of 40,000 to the Tocharian region, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach our army's camp within two days." At this moment, the news came that Song Cheng's army was about to kill.

When the Tuyuhun King Sha Xi and all the generals under his command heard this, they all immediately became nervous, if the Jin army's 40,000 troops were killed, their strategic plan to cut off the supply lines of the Jin army would be a complete failure.

However, several generals of the Tianzhu Legion were a little disdainful, in their opinion, the Jin army only had 40,000 reinforcements, which was comparable to their soldiers and horses, and there was no need to be afraid at all.

"Isn't there an army of 120,000 on the front line of the Jin army? Why did he send 40,000 troops to come, it seems that the remaining soldiers and horses were pinned down by the Persian army, so it seems that the combat power of the Jin army is nothing more than that. A Tianzhu general said disdainfully.

"To deal with our army, it is enough for the Jin army to send only 40,000 soldiers and horses, why send more men and horses?" A Tuyuhun general said with a wry smile.

When the Tianzhu general heard this, he said disdainfully: "It seems that you Tuyuhun people are really frightened by the Jin army, and you don't even have the confidence to defeat the 40,000 Jin army." ”

When the Tuyuhun general heard this, he sneered: "Since the Tianzhu army is powerful, when the Jin army comes, you can fight with the Jin army as a striker to feel the strength of the Jin army for yourself." ”

"Okay, I'll let you have a good look at the strength of my Tianzhu soldiers and horses, the Jin army reinforcements have arrived, and our Tianzhu soldiers and horses will go first." General Tianzhu said proudly.

Seeing that the general of Tianzhu took the initiative to ask to be the vanguard to resist the reinforcements of the Jin army, King Shaxi of Tuyuhun felt a burst of joy in his heart, so that the army under his command did not have to fight with the reinforcements of the Jin army, once the Tianzhu soldiers were defeated by the Jin army, he could also lead his troops to evacuate quickly to preserve the strength of the soldiers and horses under his command.

Tuyuhun King Shaxi looked at several Tianzhu generals, and said: "Although the Jin army reinforcements have been killed to our army, but there are still two days away from our army, we still need to speed up the attack on the city, to capture the city in front as a basis, so that we will have a greater chance of resisting the Jin army reinforcements, pass the order, all the soldiers and horses to strengthen the attack, as soon as possible to break the city." ”

"Yes, my lord." All the generals in the big tent clenched their fists and took their orders.

Subsequently, the coalition army under the command of Sha Xi launched a more fierce attack on the city garrisoned by the Jin army, but under the tenacious persistence of the Jin army soldiers, they still failed to break through the city, and had to stop attacking the city in the evening.

On the second day, in order to preserve physical strength and fight with the arriving Jin reinforcements, the coalition army under the command of Sha Xi did not attack the city where the Jin army was stationed, but only sent thousands of men and horses to be responsible for monitoring.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Sha Xi, several Tianzhu generals were discussing how to meet the Jin army reinforcements, and imagined the various results that could be obtained in such a battle.

Broken Xi listened to the strategies and tactics they envisioned, and nodded his head in appreciation from time to time, but he was not very optimistic about their tactics in his heart, after all, Broken Xi had rich experience in fighting the Jin army, and felt that the Tianzhu generals despised the Jin army too much, but looking at the confident expression of the Tianzhu generals, he was not easy to object, after all, only by letting the Tianzhu generals personally feel the combat power of the Jin army, they would understand how many catties and taels they had, in order to better understand their own level.
