The Three Kingdoms

"Whether the Anxi Empire can be taken down depends on whether General Zhao can conquer Taixi Fengcheng. Only by taking Taixi Fengcheng can we defeat Anxi's hundreds of thousands of troops. Otherwise, with Anxi's current territory, we will fight city by city. If it continues, this battle will last at least two or three years."

Lu Meng looked at Zhao Yun who was sitting quietly beside him, and said in a deep voice.

"Where to log in?"

Zhao Yun raised his head, his eyes were calm, and he asked calmly.

"Two days later, we will land here. This is an inland estuary, and it is also the closest ferry to Taixifeng!" Lu Meng pointed to an inland ferry on the sand table, and said: "According to our initial detection, if all goes well, we will Go here and go straight to Taixi Fengcheng, up to three days!"

"After landing, I will be the general!"

Zhao Yun said suddenly.

For the two major armies of the Western Regions, he was fighting as a guest, and he didn't have much dominance. This was not a rule in the army. However, this battle was an inland siege battle, and he really didn't trust anyone to lead the army.

"no problem!"

When Lu Meng heard this, he readily agreed without any consideration.

He naturally trusted the former commander of the Central Army Corps and the second-ranked general in the Great Wu Dynasty.

"Ctesiphon!"

Zhao Yun's tiger eyes flashed with a cold rainbow light, and on the sand table that landed on a city marked with a red flag, a cold smile could not help but rise from the corner of his mouth: "I want to see it, but you should hold my Zhao Zilong's spear improperly." !"

This will be an opportunity for Zhao Yun to rise again in the Wu army.

He must take Taixifeng, the capital of the Parthian Empire.

The meaning of winning Taixifeng is to win the first credit for capturing the Parthian Empire.

Only a significant military achievement can make him, a general who fell in the Runan War, stand up again.

So in this battle, he will advance at any cost.

In any case, we must break into the city.

Chen Gong and Lu Meng also clearly felt Zhao Yun's unstoppable aura at this moment, their hearts trembled, and they were sure that they were inexplicably sad for this imperial capital of the Anxi Empire.

[Chapter 1314 of the main text, Extinguishing Rest Nine]

Taixi Fengcheng, the capital of the Parthian Empire, is located in the lower reaches of the Tigris River, which is near the capital of Iraq in later generations. This is a very famous ancient city in the Middle East.

In [-] A.D., the Parthia Empire established it as the winter capital and built it as the imperial capital.

For nearly a hundred years, Taixi Fengcheng has been the heart of the Parthian Empire.

In today's precarious and stormy Parthian Empire, Taixi's closure of the city still shows the majesty of the imperial capital. The prosperity and excitement here did not fall into chaos because of the safety of the Parthian Empire.

Although many young and middle-aged men of the empire have been recruited to the battlefield, the entire Parthian Empire is shrouded in the tense atmosphere of war and the fear from the mysterious oriental people, but this atmosphere has not affected the operation of the capital of the Parthian Empire.

A rich and majestic palace city.

The current emperor of the Parthian Empire, Vologassis V, sat on the throne, staring at the somewhat gloomy sky above, but there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart: "Damn, damn, if I had known that these Easterners are so strong and hold vengeance , I shouldn’t have believed Caracalla’s words back then, and led an army to attack them, but I didn’t expect not only not to be able to keep them, but also to cause today’s disaster, I, Vologassis, am ashamed of the ancestors of Parthia!”

He stabbed Wu Jun fiercely at the beginning, but now he has some regrets.

He underestimated these armies from the mysterious east too much.

Oriental silk is the most expensive luxury in the Parthia Empire. It is located in the Central Plains of the Silk Road, connecting the Han Dynasty and Rome. Parthians are not very unfamiliar with the Eastern Han people.

In Anxi's classics, many orientals are also recorded.

But it was the first time that the Easterners sent out large-scale troops. Indeed, he only felt it personally when the Guishuang Empire was defeated.

When the Guishuang Empire was captured by the Wu army, its monarch escaped from the Guishuang Empire and fled to the Anxi Empire.

Vologassis V took him in.

Naturally, he did not take in a subjugated king for doing good deeds based on humanitarianism. He wanted something. He thought that the Orientals were just paper tigers. The troops counterattacked back, seized the land of Guishuang, and strengthened the Anxi Empire.

He, Vologassis, was also an ambitious king who wanted to expand the territory of the Parthia Empire and achieve a great Parthian hegemony.

The east and west sides of the Parthian Empire are just two empires, one is the Guishuang Empire and the other is the Roman Empire.

The strength of the Roman Empire was too strong. For hundreds of years, the Parthian people could not breathe. Their army's fighting power was more than ten times that of the Parthian Empire. Naturally, Vologassis V did not dare to attack the territory of the Roman Empire.

But the Guishuang Empire adjacent to the east is a weaker empire than the Parthian Empire. As long as he can swallow the Guishuang Empire justifiably, maybe he will be able to compete with the Roman Empire.

His idea was very good, but it made him unintentionally offend a fierce tiger from the east.

Ever since Anxi and the Eastern army turned against each other, they lost consecutive defeats. The strength of the Eastern army quickly caught the Anxi people by surprise. They formed soldiers and horses several times to fight, but they lost consecutive battles.

Therefore, they soon realized that these armies from the far east were not their enemies, and if they continued to fight, they would probably perish themselves.

The idea of ​​peace came to Vologassis V's mind.

And it was also at this time that the most powerful emperor of the Roman Empire, Severus, had settled the internal problems of the Roman Empire, personally led the army all the way to the east, entered the Parthian Empire, and wanted to seize Mesopotamia of the Parthian Empire. subregion.

Faced with such a situation, Vologassis V seemed to be struck by lightning.

The Parthian Empire couldn't even defeat one of them. Now the two are attacking together, attacking from east to west, even more so. Only the class is defeated. Seeing that the Parthian Empire is about to collapse. messenger.

Vologassis finally took a breather.

Naturally, Vologassis was very willing to form an alliance with the Wu army. He was even willing to pay some price to invite the Wu army to join the Mesopotamian battlefield against Rome.

Wu Jun agreed.

This suddenly turned into a joint attack of the two armies, attacking the Roman army together, and naturally defeated the Roman army steadily.

However, the incomparable fighting power shown by Wu Jun made Vologassis V uneasy.

He was afraid that Wu Jun would turn against the enemy.

So he made a wrong decision at a critical time.

It is because of his decision that the Parthian Empire is now suffering from a catastrophe.

If he, Vologassis, had not betrayed the covenant of the Easterners and accepted the help of this distant and mysterious Eastern army, he would have regained the Mesopotamia region captured by the Roman Empire by this time.

Unfortunately, when he was afraid of the Eastern army, everything was irreversible.

He was afraid, afraid that the Anxi Empire would follow in the footsteps of the Guishuang Empire and become an empire destroyed by the Orientals.

So he had a bad idea, and finally chose to cross the river and demolish the bridge. During the First World War in Mesopotamia, seeing the Eastern army fighting fiercely with the Roman army, he resolutely betrayed the allies he had invited, and stood behind the Eastern army. Take a blow.

Because of his sneak attack in this battle, the Eastern army suffered heavy losses, and had to withdraw their troops from the entire Parthian Empire.
