Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 501: I am here, who dares to oppose [asking for votes]

Early in the morning at the end of June, the sun was rising.

"Your Majesty. The Han army is rushing around in our Parthia territory. I took advantage of their rush and the lack of manpower in the siege to break through the city of Apameia."

Bhutto's eyes were scarlet, and he knelt down in front of the throne, feeling sore in his heart:
"This breakout resulted in a loss of more than [-] soldiers and horses."

On the throne sat Mithridates, the king.

He was in his prime, but during this time, his age was visible to the naked eye, with frost-white hair appearing on his temples, and fine lines around his eyes were obvious.

Only his eyes are still majestic, wearing a white royal robe and holding a scepter.

"How many troops did you bring back?"

Mithridates II looked down at Bhutto whose robe was stained with blood.

To Bhutto's surprise, there was an illusory figure sitting on the inner wing of the hall.Its aura was so strong that even Bhutto was startled.

When he came in, the other party was there.

"The minister gathered all the ministries along the way and brought back more than [-] troops. In addition to the soldiers and horses who stayed behind in Taixifeng, we in Parthia can now be called elites, and there are still more than [-]." Bhutto said sadly.

Two years ago, Parthia had as many as 30 soldiers and horses, and there were 20 elite soldiers, so powerful.

"I've decided to shrink the line of defense and stick to Ctesiphon, what do you think?" Mithridates II said.

"Abandoning the periphery, defending the capital with all your strength, and fighting the enemy to the death is the correct decision under the current circumstances. Your Majesty is wise and wise, as always!"

Butuo Surong said again: "I have been studying the tactics of the Han army.

They took the advantages of light cavalry to the extreme, and were good at rushing, raiding and ranger tactics. "

"My Parthian Iron Armored Army is invincible in battle, but I have fought against the Han Army many times in the plains, and I have been repeatedly defeated by their flexibility and strategy of using light cavalry.

His Majesty personally ordered the shrinking of the defense line, and obviously also saw the characteristics of the Han army. If we continue to fight with them on horseback, we will still lose. "

"Taixi Fengcheng has a high wall and thick walls, and there are two acropolises around it, supporting each other. If the Han army comes, our army will stick to it, which can effectively curb its advantage of light cavalry.

With His Majesty here again, all the troops will surely be able to resist the Han army. "

Mithridates II nodded slightly: "At the beginning when we fought against the Han army, we thought that armored cavalry were invincible, but when we met the Han army, we were defeated in a row. It was not until the Baiduoshi Dam was broken that we really Take it seriously, but it's too late."

"Afterwards, the two commanders of the Han army took advantage of our weakness of lack of food and attacked our food supplies many times. Every time they hit our most deadly position."

"If we had taken a defensive stance after the Baituoshi broke the embankment and waited for a year to fight again, maybe it would not be the current situation.

I, Parthia,... shouldn't have been in a hurry to start another war..."

Mithridates seemed a little regretful, took a deep breath, cheered up and said:

"Last night when the Han army intervened in Seleu, Lumli's troops were lured into the city of Xiati and trapped. If we lose this battle again, the fate of the country will be ruined.

If we can win, the Han army will be defeated, and we will take advantage of the trend to retreat to the border, and there is still a chance to recover. "

Bhutto bowed and said, "On the way back, I was chased by the Han army and fought many times.

The minister judged that the Han army would arrive in a blink of an eye. "

"The commander-in-chief of the Han army is also on his way."

Mithridates II said coldly: "I am ready for this battle, and I will definitely kill him here."

Bhutto glanced at the illusory figure flanking him, thinking that this person might be part of His Majesty's arrangement.

This person followed and listened to the conversation between the monarch and his ministers, but never said a word.

"What do you think of the upcoming battle?" Mithridates asked again.

"If you follow the normal order of attacking the city, the opponent will attack the acropolis first, and then attack our Taixifeng main city."

Bhutto said: "But the commander-in-chief of the Han army never used his troops according to common sense. When he used troops, he could sometimes jump out of the battle situation and play tactics that affected the entire outcome from another level.

There is no fixed method and no rules to follow in the use of troops, and the ministers can't see how he will arrange them. "

He continued: "But at this moment, the Romans are launching an offensive against Seleu and Macedonia. He wants to compete with Rome for time, and wants to break our Ctesiphon as soon as possible. It seems that there is only one way to attack directly.

If he competes with him in a frontal siege battle, I think he will never break the city in a short time. "

"Well, we'll just wait for him to come..." Mithridates also glanced at the hazy person sitting aside.

The other party seemed to be laughing, and made an erratic voice: "He has come, this time, we will have a battle with him."

At the moment when his voice fell, he suddenly heard a loud noise!
Half of Ctesiphon was shaking.

Recently, Taixifeng had already entered into a state of martial law, and only opened the gates on the flanks to prevent the Han army from raiding.

After the loud noise just now, another sound came out one after another.

Boom—boom!
It was the Han army who used tactics to hide and march, quietly approached Taixifeng, and then launched an offensive suddenly, attacking the city gate.

A voice resounded throughout the city: "Northern Lieutenant Zhang Cigong led the army under the commander of the Han army to attack, who dares to fight me?!"

"Who dares to fight our army?"

"Who dares to fight our army?"

Shouts came from outside the city that shook the city, and all the troops were smashed.

"The Great Sima of the Han Army is under the Xixiongnu's little king Hunxieji, come and break the city!" This was the voice of King Hunxie.

"General Ying Yang, General Zhao Puonu, under the seat of Great Sima, who will fight with me?"

"..."

There were thunderous shouts outside the city, one after another.

It was the brave generals under Huo Qubing's command who led their troops to kill them.

In the city, it was instantly quiet.

In the palace, Mithridates stood up slowly: "Sure enough, he bypassed the Acropolis and came directly to attack me, Tessiphon!" After saying that, he walked out of the palace.

Bhutto got up and followed.

That illusory figure disappeared without a sound.

Both Mithridates and Bhutto had extremely high levels of practice, and they came to the towering city wall of Taisifeng in a blink of an eye.

There were Han troops outside the city walls in all directions, including the Xiongnu soldiers and horses led by King Hunxie, and the forbidden troops led by Zhang Cigong, Zhao Ponu, Chen Qing and others.

There was no one outside the city gate on the south side, and it was unusually quiet.

But Mithridates appeared at the head of the city on the south side.

And at the moment he appeared, there was a Han army outside the city, which seemed to be separated from the void. The whole army consisted of nearly 2000 people, with an average of three horses per capita.

There are less than two thousand troops, but they are as sharp as thousands of troops.

Huo Qubing on horseback, his battle robe fluttering, raised his head and looked diagonally upwards.

He and Mithridates had fought several times, both covertly and covertly, but this was their first official meeting.

The head of the city and the outside of the city looked at each other from the air.

Huo Qubing raised his voice and said, "King Mithridates, are you willing to surrender?"

"I am the lord of Parthia, and the outcome is not decided at this moment, why should I surrender?"

Mithridates stood at the head of the city, holding a scepter, with a low voice.

"If you surrender, you don't have to die. Become a vassal state of our Han and maintain autonomy. All you need to pay is that the domestic standing troops should not exceed [-], and the border defense must have our Han troops stationed all year round. Only these two conditions, how about it?" Huo Qubing Take time out.

"If I surrender, you dare to use me to continue to be the lord?" Mithridates said without looking happy or angry.

Huo Qubing smiled and said, "Why don't you dare?
You Parthia was in its heyday and was defeated by our army, and you are on the outside of the city today. With me in one day, who would dare to rebel? "

"I heard that you are arrogant by nature, it is true!" Mithridates said.

Huo Qubing sneered: "Are you saying that my arrogant dog is also in the city? Tell him to get out and let me see."

Mithridates: "If I win this battle, I will kill all the Han people. If I lose, I will die with the country!"

Bhutto knelt down beside him and swore: "I wish to die with His Majesty and live with the country!"

The defenders at the top of the city also knelt down and shouted: "Survive with the country, die with Your Majesty!"

Mithridates stood alone at the head of the city and said, "Champion, come and see if you die or I die!"

"Then there's nothing to say."

Huo Qubing said: "The whole army, set up camp thirty miles back, and then come to destroy the city and the country after resting!"

Zhang Cigong and others were secretly stunned. Huo Qubing always used his troops quickly and violently, and his offensive was like a violent storm.

Why is it uncharacteristic this time?
Although he was surprised that Huo Qubing was different from the past, the whole army ordered to prohibit, and the Han army at the Sifang City Gate retreated like an ebb tide. According to the order, they retreated [-] li and set up camp.

At noon, generals from all sides gathered in the Chinese army camp to see Huo Qubing.

"Da Sima, why did you withdraw your troops this time instead of directly attacking the city?" Zhang Cigong was puzzled.

"Not long ago, Mithridates II was almost killed by an attack. After that, he tried his best to contact all parties and made a lot of arrangements... For this battle, the enemy and the enemy have many arrangements. Wait a moment I will know later."

"Set up camp tonight. If something happens, you immediately attack the city. I will create the most suitable opportunity for you."

Huo Qubing gave a series of orders in the camp, and all the generals took orders and left immediately.

After everyone left, Huo Qubing calmly deduced the winners and losers of the enemy and himself and his own arrangements, he was more cautious than before in battles.

Half an hour later, he took out two ancient scrolls and held them in his hands to examine them.

One of them was acquired by Kong Samadhi who sneaked into Macedonia not long ago, the Egyptian code of death, and the other is the epic of the gods.

Huo Qubing will bring the code of death of the jackal-headed god, close to the epic of the gods.

A wonderful change appeared.

All the words on the death code were absorbed by the epic of the gods, and the handwriting trickled like a stream, and transferred to the epic of the gods.

"Sure enough, the Egyptian Book of the Dead is the epic of the gods, one of the three lost chapters that Perseus said. However, it has been integrated into the understanding of the Egyptians and made some changes."

As I said before, the Egyptian pharaoh Ptolemy was once a general under Alexander's command.

Egypt was once occupied and controlled by Alexander, and there are many connections between the two.

Egypt is on the southeastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea.

Historically, Egypt has been regarded as a colony-like existence by Mediterranean powers, such as Macedonia at the time of Alexander, and later powerful Rome.

At this time, the contents of the Book of the Dead were stripped away and merged into the epic of the gods.

One of the three lost chapters on it emerged with handwriting.

In the hidden No.13 content, there is also an extra sentence: "God killing needs weapons!"

It sounds like a useless or incomplete sentence.

Huo Qubing thought about it and said that this sentence refers to some kind of special weapon or method... In these western countries, compared with my big man, the historical trajectory is obviously shifted more, and the traces of gods and demons are more obvious.

Here, the miracle created by "God" seems to have disappeared and never appeared again until nearly a hundred years ago.

These 'gods' that Westerners believe in give Huo Qubing an indescribable sense of weirdness...

While he was thinking, Bai Nanyu walked in from the outside, wearing a cold moonlight Han skirt, with a slim figure, carrying a copper pot with hot water in it.

She took out a marching cup made of bamboo tubes, squatted down in front of Huo Qubing to pour water, and when viewed from above, the mountains and peaks stood tall and straight.

"I...want to sleep with Lord Hou tonight?" The voice was charming, with a little blush on her face, which was a disaster for the country and the people.

"?"

Huo Qubing thought for a while: "Are you worried about the upcoming battle?"

Bai Nanyu hummed: "After getting close to Taixifeng, my uneasiness became more and more intense. I... want to get closer to Lord Hou."

Huo Qubing smiled: "Are you reminding me that in the upcoming battle, there will be remnants of Zonghengdao who will join the battle?"

Bai Nanyu said: "It is impossible for the Lord of Parthia to deal with the Marquis himself, so he can only seek help from outside forces."

Huo Qubing: "You can't stay tonight. If something happens, don't come to join in the fun. I have preparations and arrangements for the outcome of the battle."

Bai Nanyu hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while before getting up and saluting: "Master Hou, be careful." She walked gracefully.

The night is deep and the stars are twinkling.

In the camp of the Han army, soldiers and horses were on guard, and the weather was strict.

Huo Qubing sat cross-legged in the barracks, exercising his energy, and when he opened his eyes in the middle of the night, he disappeared from the barracks.

At the head of Taixifeng City, Mithridates II appeared at the same time, and... that illusory figure, half-saint!
Ps: Let me tell you, I saw some book friends reacting to the comparison of combat power with Xiaobeng, saying that Rome is too high, don't worry, there will be a perfect explanation later, and the reasons will be reasonable.

Please vote, thank you
