Three Kingdoms Eschatology

A rider threw the flying claw wheel round, and with a clang, he grabbed and hooked a foot on the top of the wall of the dock. He jumped up from the saddle, stepped on the city wall and jumped towards the top of the wall as if flexibly.

He had just stood on top of the wall, and he had already seen the face crouching behind the wall and looking up at him, full of frightened expressions.His right hand grasped the handle of the machete on his back.One of the Guishuang soldiers facing him exhausted all his strength and shouted to kill him!Several spears rushed towards the Sasanian knight.The knight twisted his body in a hurry, dodging two of the spears, and the armor on his body blocked the blades of the other two spears, preventing them from piercing.But he couldn't dodge the last spear, and the blade pierced into his thigh.With a scream, the knight fell backwards on his back.

Another Sasanian knight died even more ugly. Before he climbed to the top of the wall, the opposing soldiers used spears to pry off the flying claws that were fastened to the top of the city wall. On top of a sharp rock, his skull was crushed and he died.But at the same time, the guard who pried the flying claw with a spear gun was shot through the head with a hard bow by the Sasanian cavalry below the city.

There were also individual knights who climbed to the top of the city, slashing and killing with scimitars.In ten breaths, he beheaded five or six Guishuang soldiers, and drove the Guishuang soldiers in front to flee.But after all, the opponent had a large number of people, and soon swords, guns, swords and halberds came from all directions, smashing them to the ground.

Chapter 824 Water Network

There were shouts of killing from the top of Wubao City, and the Sasanian armored knights who climbed up to the top of the wall along the rope of the flying claws fought fiercely with the defenders at the top of the wall.At the foot of the Wubao wall, there are corpses scattered all over the place, and the small Wubao city is even more piled up like a mountain.Outside the fort, Sasanian cavalry continued to throw flying claws and climbed towards the top of Wubao.Every time they stand on the top of the city, they can cause several casualties to the Guishuang defenders.However, the Guishuang defenders in Wubao rushed to the top of the city to replenish wave after wave, seemingly endlessly.

In the end, Guishuang soldiers withstood the onslaught of the brave Sassanian armored knights relying on the strong dock and crowd tactics.At this time, the face of the Sasanian general had turned livid.He wondered in his heart, why did this Guishuang soldier become so difficult to deal with after only a few days?

Actually this is not surprising.The current Guishuang army is still the same Guishuang army, but now Guishuang, no matter whether it is a prince, a civilian or a slave, knows about the burning, killing and looting of the Sasanian army in the Indus River Basin these days.This forces them to unite to deal with the existential crisis.Secondly, they adopted the correct tactics-layers of sniper interception consumed the enemy's strength and morale, and concentrated their forces to stand by for reinforcements.

In the end, they let off the colored smoke provided by Liang Jun, believing that they had successfully transmitted the signal, and that it would be a matter of time before they got reinforcements. Naturally, their confidence and morale were different from those of Guishuangwubao, which had been breached before.Combining all the above factors, the Sasanians could not easily defeat the enemy with just two hundred horsemen.

The Sasanian general turned his attention to the red wolf smoke rising into the sky.In fact, he noticed the smoke as soon as it rose, but he didn't care about the Guishuang Army's contempt.He thought it was just that the other party was asking for help from other nearby Guishuang allies.He even thought that it would be a good thing if the rest of Guishuang soldiers came to help him. He could take more heads and make more military exploits.

But now, after seeing Guishuang's army become stronger than before, he was shaken in his heart.He murmured again in his heart that he had already suffered heavy casualties under the Wubao, if thousands of Guishuang came to reinforce the army, wouldn't he be in danger of being wiped out.

Thinking of this, a chill suddenly rose up his spine, and he immediately shouted: "Send my military order, stop the siege, don't chew on this hard bone, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties. Withdraw! Let's withdraw quickly!"

The cavalry team of more than a hundred people left as soon as they said they would go, and they immediately gave up continuing to attack the dock, and also gave up dozens of corpses of their accomplices, all turned their horses around and galloped downstream along the river that passed through the manor and go.

At the head of Wubao, the vest of the Marquis of Guishuang was soaked in cold sweat.In fact, more than half of the soldiers in his fort have been lost. If the enemy persists for a while, the morale of his soldiers may collapse, and he himself will be destroyed and killed.Seeing that the enemy army has finally retreated now, he didn't have time to be happy, and hurriedly sent an order: "Raise the green wolf smoke quickly and tell Liang Jun that the enemy army has retreated."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw those Sassanid warriors who were passing through the reeds by the river before they ran far, fell off their horses like pear blossoms hit by rain.And he vaguely saw more than [-] Viking warships in the river.

The Liang Jun sailors and soldiers on the ship threw round after round of javelins and throwing axes.The ax had little effect on the armored Sasanian armored knight, but the javelin with the blade made of Utz steel was accurate.As long as it can hit the body of a Sasanian knight, it can penetrate their armor.

In a short time, these Sasanian cavalry lost another thirty or forty cavalry.The leading general shouted in grief: "They are in the river, hurry up and stay away from the river."

The Sasanian general had just left the river with the remaining soldiers and horses for dozens of battles, when he heard the sound of horseshoes running. He followed the sound and looked away, with a desperate expression on his face.Those were hundreds of Liang Junjiao's heavily armed cavalry.

Already frightened like a bird, how could he have the courage to meet the enemy, he turned his horse's head, changed direction and continued to escape, and the rest followed closely behind.The Sasanian cavalry general was also in a daze, forgetting the most basic common sense of a cavalry.If cavalry encounters at close range, it is most taboo to turn around and run away, showing their backs to others, especially when their own horses are slightly slower than their opponents.

In just a dozen or so breaths, Liang Jun's heavy cavalry chased after them, cavalry spears were thrown out, and most of the remaining Sasanian cavalry were stabbed off their horses in half a moment.The general's horse was also shot in the buttocks, and he was knocked off the horse after suffering from pain and fright.The moment he fell, he rolled forward, lost his strength, got up and ran wildly without thinking.

Just when he was about to get into a thicket of acacia bushes, he saw a bright object attacking his face. With a bang, his world turned red with the smell of blood in his nose, and then his eyes went black. The body fell to the ground.

When Dian Wei pulled out his halberd from the face of the corpse, the rest of the Viking sailors who landed also killed and captured several Sasanian knights who had lost their horses and fled on foot.

It turned out that Dian Wei had been tracking Kossack's cavalry for several days.He knew that Kossack had entered this area with a radius of a hundred miles, but he didn't know the exact location of the other party.

Fortunately, this area is in the middle reaches of the Indus River, and the water network is dense.He divided the fleet into several parts, carrying soldiers and horses to shuttle around the water network day and night, and sent scouts on the shore to conduct vigilance and investigation.Those Guishuang lords have been explained before, how to cooperate with Liang Jun.

Today, one of his scouts on the shore saw the wolf smoke and immediately reported to the fleet.He immediately ordered the heavy cavalry to go ashore, and cooperated with the fleet to outflank the opponent's water and land, thus achieving such a result.

At this time, Dian Wei personally interrogated the captured Sasanian warriors, but no one in his army knew their language well.But this will not be a problem right away, because the Marquis of Guishuang who was rescued has already left the city with his entourage, and thanked Dian Wei a thousand times.Among the people he brought, there were quite a few who were proficient in Persian.

The interrogation went well, and the Sassanid cavalry at first put on a heroic look.But after Liang Jun used some methods to inflict some physical pain on them, they were bloody and bloody, and they quickly took all the tricks.

When Dian Wei knew about Kosak's "temporary base camp", a hint of surprise appeared on his face.He knew that this was the best opportunity to easily dismantle the Cossack Ranger.But he still spent some time figuring out which way to defeat this enemy army.One is to take advantage of the lack of return of Kosak's looting troops, directly destroy his temporary base camp, and capture all his food, grass and camels, so that they become a leaderless army without food, and then spend time breaking down each one and gradually exterminating them .The second is to wait for all the looting troops from all walks of life to come back and gather them together before launching a surprise attack to catch them all.

These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. To follow Dianwei, we decided to use the first method to be on the safe side.

Chapter 825 The Battle of the River Bend

The channel of a tributary of the Indus River circles a bend of nearly [-] degrees.The nearly [-]-acre wilderness surrounded by the river bend is full of camels grazing leisurely.From the reeds on the bank of the river came the sound of waves that seemed to be fish jumping out of the water.Soon, a head poked out from the reeds, looking towards the land surrounded by the river bend.

This person is a scout under Dian Wei's command.In addition to camels, he also found hundreds of large and small military tents of the Sasanian army scattered among them.There are still a lot of supplies piled up beside some tents.Obviously this is the temporary camp of the Sasanian army.Cossack deliberately set up the camp on the river bend surrounded by water on three sides with only one small exit, thinking that doing so would make it difficult for the enemy soldiers to attack.

There were not many Sasanian soldiers at the scene.Only soldiers in twos and threes wandered carelessly among them, and it seemed that their patrols and vigilance were very lax.The Sasanian army came all the way on a rampage and crushed the Guishuang forces everywhere, which inevitably made them arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

Liang Jun's scout observed for a while, then retreated quietly.After the reeds swayed for a while, there were a few ripples on the water surface, and after a while, everything returned to its original state.

Half an hour later, there was a sound of galloping horseshoes outside the river bend.The Sassanid soldiers in the camp knew that their companions had returned, and hurriedly removed the horse antlers blocking the exit of the river bend.

Sure enough, after a while, a cavalry team of about [-] riders galloped into the river bend. There were still many unmanned horses in this cavalry team. Obviously, they had suffered a lot in the previous battle.

The Sasanian generals who stayed in the camp saw these returned warriors unloading large pieces of decomposed flesh and bones from their horses, and asked in puzzlement, "Why did you come back so early today? Uh, only got Some meat was transported back by horses, didn’t the gold, silver, treasures, vehicles, and women not be seized?”

The general at the head of the cavalry didn't answer, but asked instead, "Why didn't you see the chief general?"

"Uh, the general got the military information and said that a nearby city could not be attacked for a long time, so he went to check the enemy's situation in person."

Hearing this, the general spit on the ground and said angrily, "Don't mention it! Today we also encountered difficulties. A fortress can't be attacked for a long time, and the temptation to surrender has no effect. I don't want to The brothers sacrificed in vain, so they withdrew first. It seems that we still have to concentrate our forces to eliminate them one by one."

When he said this, he saw the eyes of the people around him sizing up the pieces of meat, so he explained: "These meats are the horses and horses that we killed in battle. It's a pity to lose them, so I asked the brothers to cut them up and bring them back. Go , take it to stew."

The crowd dispersed and went about their business.The cooks in the army began to bury pots to make rice, boil water and cook meat.One of the cauldrons was set not far from the water's edge, and a cook and soldier was busy processing the horse meat, humming a tune.

When he put the cut pieces of horse meat into the boiling soup pot full of spices, a sharp arrow flew from the reeds and hit him between the eyebrows.The guy fell down without saying a word, and his upper body was completely immersed in the cauldron.

After more than ten breaths, only the soldiers noticed something strange.They were all shocked when they ran, but no one immediately noticed the arrows on the door in front of the corpse of this guy, and one of them said: "What's going on! How did he cook himself?"

Before the words were finished, dozens of spears flew from the reeds, and the group of Sassanid cavalry immediately lay on the ground. Even if they did not die on the spot, their limbs were pierced by the javelin, and they fell to the ground in pain. howling.There were also people who endured the pain and called for the alarm loudly.

In just a few breaths, "Enemy attack! There is an enemy sneak attack", "Be careful in the reeds!", "The enemy came from the water!", "It doesn't look like Guishuang soldiers..." and other shouts came and went.The general who had just returned to the camp and was sitting paralyzed on the blanket heard the shout, jumped up in shock, and stepped out of the tent with one step.It just so happened that his tent was not far from the river, so he took two quick steps and looked out. Sure enough, through the half-person-high reeds, he vaguely saw dozens of strange-shaped boats moored on the river.He knew at a glance that this was a Viking ship unique to the Liang Jun Navy.

"Quick! It's Liang Jun coming! Let's fight, set up defenses on the river bank to prevent them from going ashore." The Sasanian general panicked and shouted loudly.At the same time, Liang Jun on the water rushed towards the land in the river bend from all directions.Javelins, arrows, and throwing axes also jumped over the reeds one after another, and greeted the heads of these Sasanian soldiers.

The Sasanian cavalry who had assembled on the river bank, holding shields and scimitars, were forced to retreat by these arrows and javelins.The Sassan general just realized that he had made a tactical mistake at this time.The soldiers on my side are all cavalry, and asking them to defend Liang Jun's sailor soldiers on foot by the river is tantamount to using their own short boards to compare others' long boards.

Realizing this, General Sasanian hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, get on your horses quickly, get on your horses far away from the river bank, and then rush these Liang army infantry into the river." In fact, he didn't need to shout, the rest The general had realized this a long time ago, and he called out one step in advance to let his soldiers mount their horses and fight.

The three or four hundred Sassanid cavalry were looking for their mounts in a panic, and those who couldn't find their own horses just rode on the camels.At this moment, the sound of horseshoes like thunder came from outside the river bend.The heavy armored cavalry of the two hundred Liang army rushed in from the opening of the narrow river bend like a whirlwind.

They rode their guns together and swept towards the Sasanian cavalry.A Sassanian cavalry had just turned over and put on the saddle when he was stabbed directly under the horse by a lance.Before the other cavalry had one foot on the horse's back, a Liang Jun heavy cavalry hit him from the side, pinching him alive between the two horses.Some Sasanian cavalry got on their horses in time, but they had no time to get their lances, and the scimitars in their hands were in front of the opponent's lances, showing their disadvantages.Soon he was stabbed under the horse by random guns.

The battle ended in less than a quarter of an hour, and the Sasanian soldiers in the river bend were almost killed, and the camels were running around in the river bend in shock.Dian Wei rode his horse to the middle of the river bend, looked around and said: "A certain military order has been sent to dispatch 300 people to take all these camels away. Remember, you must also take the food and grass. Transfer them to the nearby Guishuang City. The rest of the people wait, continue to set up an ambush"

"promise!"

Liang Jun acted quickly, and within a short time all the camels, food, grass, and even the corpses were removed. Liang Jun also retreated into the reeds, and even the Viking ships were pulled into the reeds to hide.

At this time, Kossack was personally leading another group of two or three hundred Sasanian war cavalry back to the temporary camp in the river bend, getting closer and closer to the pocket laid by Liang Jun.

Chapter 826 The Uninvited Guest of the Oasis Lord

Kossack walked on the horse while recalling the previous battle.In this battle, although the small city of Guishuang was captured under the reinforcements of his own troops, his side also suffered a lot of casualties, and he did not break through the Wubao in the center of the city.

Although Guishuang's army is still very weak, they suddenly improved a lot compared to before, which made him very puzzled.What made him even more puzzled was that these Guishuang people lit up red smoke in Wubao, and in the end they didn't know who the smoke was calling to come.Because of this worry, Kosak retreated ahead of time with a small number of looted people and food before breaking through the dock in the city.

At this time, Kosak found that the scenery on the roadside became familiar, and he knew that he was not far from the river bend camp.Suddenly, he smelled a strange smell in his nose, which seemed familiar to him.He took two more deep breaths of the air, and made sure that this was the kind of smell that can often be smelled on the battlefield---the smell of blood.

Kosak suddenly woke up and shouted, "The whole army stops advancing! The scouts go out and go to the camp to reconnaissance and see if anything happened in the camp!" The two horsemen galloped out in response to the sound, and galloped towards the river bend. .

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, the two riders disappeared without a trace like mud cows entering the sea.When Kosak cried out inwardly, he found that on the river more than ten battles away, more than ten warships were sailing down the water, sailing and paddling, rushing towards this side like arrows leaving the string.In another sparse bush forest on the land, a large number of Liang Jun's heavy armored cavalry suddenly rushed out.

"There's an ambush. Get out!" Knowing that something was wrong, Kosak hurriedly turned his horse's head, and withdrew his three or four hundred horses to the distance.However, the opponent's war cavalry had rushed towards them, and those Sasanian war cavalry who were slow to react and lagged behind were forced to confront each other and start fighting.The Liang Army cavalry, which partially had superior strength and morale, quickly wiped out these Sasanian cavalry, and continued to attack Kossack's cavalry from the tail.But in the end, Kossack himself and the hundred Sassan warriors escaped.

On a certain Viking ship, one of Dian Wei's personal soldiers looked at the backs of these Sassanid warriors and sighed: "It's a pity that they ran away." Dian Wei sneered: "They can't run far, and they can't run away." Long. We have fleets deployed in various key places, and we will attack them continuously."

Dian Wei took more than a thousand Liang Jun infantry and dozens of Viking ships and continued to wait for a long time.After annihilating and defeating four Sasanian cavalry units one after another, Dian Wei withdrew just after he believed that no Sasanian cavalry would return to this river bend.

In this battle, although only [-]% of the Sasanian cavalry of Kosak was wiped out.But their camels and food were seized.Their remaining [-] or [-] riders could no longer get supplies, and became a lone army.More importantly, they lost contact with each other and could only fight on their own, like ghosts.It is very difficult to capture a small dock by relying on their single force, so they may not be able to obtain basic supplies through raids.

Dian Wei arranged Viking warships and troops at various key points in the water network, and carefully set up alert positions for rangers and scouts.Also mobilize those marquis of Guishuang, big and small.Although judging from a single soldier, the Guishuang soldiers were powerless to stop and annihilate these Sasanian cavalry.But they can provide Liang Jun with a lot of eyeliner and scuds to deliver news.

Moreover, according to Dianwei's request, these Guishuang nobles mobilized the most elite soldiers from various ministries, formed a Guishuang coalition army of five or six thousand, and handed it to Liang Jun for unified command.Although such an army is still difficult to match hundreds of Sasanian cavalry in an encounter battle, if they build a fort in the wild for defense, they can still stop the Sasanian cavalry.

As a result, within a radius of [-] miles in the middle and lower reaches of the Indus River Basin, a tight defense network against Sasanian Rangers was formed.In the next month or so, most of the remaining Sasanian cavalry were swallowed up bit by bit by this giant net.Only a small number of the most cunning warriors can escape this huge net.

……

A crescent-like lake is embedded in the green grass.Although there are not too tall trees here, the low woodland formed by various shrubs looks lush.The bushes close to the lake reveal half of the castle.This castle, this pool of clear water, and nearly a thousand acres of grass and shrubs are all the territory of Guishuang Xihou Denar.

If you take the castle as the center and walk two or three hundred miles in any direction, you will be boundless and desolate long yellow sand.Here is the Great Tal Desert in the southeast of the Indus River.

The only things that can show signs of life here are the dotted cacti, camel thorns and red willows in the yellow sand.But if we go to the northwest for another two or three hundred battles, the scenery will become full of vitality again.Because here it enters the scope of the Indus River Basin.

At this time, Denal, the owner of Crescent Fortress, was sitting on a rocking chair purchased from an oriental caravan, swinging leisurely back and forth.His territory is an oasis on the edge of the Thar Desert, or at the transition between the Thar Desert and the Indus Valley.

The remoteness of the location and the barrenness of the land here often make Denard lament that his ancestors did not live up to expectations.But now Denard is letting himself go.

Denar had known for a long time that a Sasanian cavalry had broken into the Indus Valley, and they committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting.But his Crescent Fort is more than 300 miles away from the Indus River.Not to mention the long journey, and it was still in the desolate Thar Desert.Compared with those wealthy Guishuang Xihou, Crescent Fortress is really too poor.

If the Sassanids labored and mobilized many people to plunder, they would lose money.Denard believes no one wants to lose money.So Denal didn't believe that his Crescent Fortress would be in danger.

It's just that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, but the accident happened suddenly.The alarm bell rang outside the castle. Denard was startled at first, then frowned and muttered: "Who is ringing the bell indiscriminately? It's scary. I'm going to break his leg!"

At this time, a servant ran in in a panic, and said out of breath, "Master Xihou, there is a cavalry unit coming outside... It is our Guishuang army."

Denard's face turned pale again, and he said to himself: "Needless to say, this must be the Sassanid cavalry. They don't go to so many good places, what are they doing in Lao Tzu's great desert!?" Said Come on, he said to the servant: "Hurry up and order everyone to enter the castle to hide, close the four doors tightly, and all the men go to the top of the city to defend the city!"

The servant hurriedly replied: "The captain of the guard is already doing these things..." Before he finished speaking, he realized that there was no one in front of him.Denard had already got up and rushed outside.

On the top of the city, Denard saw about two hundred people in ragged clothes, surrounding Crescent Moon Lake, desperately filling their stomachs with water.If it weren't for the horses beside them, Denard would have thought that some gang of beggars had come to his territory.

Chapter 827

Crescent Moon Oasis Crescent Castle.The group of "beggars" who were lying on the edge of Crescent Lake and desperately pouring water finally finished drinking, but they still looked weak.

These hundred and ten cavalry escaped from the net laid by Dian Wei, and the leader was Kossack himself.For more than ten days, Kosak led hundreds of cavalry under his command to rush from left to right, crossing forests and rivers, and finally got rid of the encirclement and suppression of Liang Jun and his Guishuang servant army.But they also lost their way and plunged into the Thar Desert.

Hungry and thirsty, they slaughtered the extra horses, drank their blood and ate their meat.Without water or food, they could only die of thirst.Their war horses can only survive by eating camel thorns and red willow bark in the desert.When they were about to perish, they found the Crescent Oasis.

At this time, the mentality of these Sassanian cavalry has changed from being invincible to frightened.Seeing the castle on the oasis from a distance, I was very upset.In the end, Kossack said with a heart: "It is better to be stabbed by the enemy's knife and spear than to go out like a cowardly death of thirst." So they rushed towards Crescent Lake regardless.

Now, having quenched their thirst but still hungry, they climbed on their horses and slowly came to a stop outside the Crescent Castle.Kossack looked towards the top of the city, and it happened that Nader, the lord of Crescent Fortress, also looked down the city.The two stared at each other for half an hour, but no one spoke first.In fact, both of them were terrified.

Although these people were dressed in rags, Denard had already seen that they were indeed Sassanian cavalry, knowing the ferocity of the Sasanian iron cavalry, he was naturally terrified.And that Cossack also knew that his subordinates were hungry, not to mention that it was impossible to pose any threat to the castle, even if the soldiers in the castle attacked and killed them, they would be able to defeat his frightened remnant army.

But Kossack can't just evacuate. If he evacuates, he doesn't know when he will find a place where he can get food and water. Moreover, if he evacuates, he will show his cowardice, and it will be more likely for the opponent to chase him out.

In the end, it was Denar who couldn't hold his breath and said, "Who is under the city, why did you bring troops to my Crescent Fort?"

This Cossack grew up in Mulu City, which is adjacent to North Guishuang, so he can also speak Guishuang language.From the content and tone of Denard's words, he found that Denard was a little timid, and he was overjoyed.

Kosak rolled his eyes, and replied with a solemn face: "We are the army of the Sasanian royal court, and we are here to drive away the Easterners who oppress you for you Guishan people. My team is sent by the general. Patrol and reconnaissance rangers. On the way, I encountered a Liang army and defeated them. But we also strayed into the desert and lost our way. We just came here. If your lords open the city gate, submit to me Ardashir, the king of kings in the Sassanian court. Someone will come forward and claim credit for you."

Denard was startled, secretly thinking that a disaster is coming.The manager of the manor next to him whispered in his ear: "Lord Xihou, you must not believe the words of these Sassanids. Do you remember the news that came some time ago? When they lure them into the city, they will kill and loot them all."

Denard's heart tightened, but he didn't dare to turn against Kosak directly, for fear that he would attack his castle immediately.He turned his mind quickly for a few times, and finally found a reason to say to Kosak under the city: "This general, it's not that I don't want to open the city and surrender, but I really don't know who you are. And I don't know who you are near Crescent City." There are sand bandits in that oasis, and they often raid my castle. So I have to guard against it. How about this, general, first join your army, get the seals that can prove your identity, and then come here, Xiaohou will definitely Go out of the city to meet you in person."

The calculation in Denal's heart is to delay the attack, and he doesn't know when he will go back after the Sasanian army joins the main army.It is even possible to forget about his Crescent Castle.

Kosak also quickly calculated in his mind, secretly thinking that I can only destroy myself by storming this city now.If I continue to intimidate him to open the city gate and surrender.If he doesn't follow this, I can only do nothing but show my feet instead.Even if he was really scared and opened the city gate, the risk of me entering the city is still very high.Because I'm not 100% sure whether he really surrendered or set a trap for me.According to the state of the hundreds of soldiers under me, if he really set up an ambush in the castle and attacked with all his strength, wouldn't I be dead without a place to die?

Thinking of this, Kosak immediately shouted to Denard: "Forget it, then you just wait for my Sassanid army to come. But..." He paused and shouted: "But these brothers under my command When I got lost for a long time, there was not much dry rations and horse fodder left with me, not enough for the return journey. You first lend us some rations and grass, and when our army returns, you should return the original amount. Of course, this is also a great credit to you .”

When Denard heard this, he thought that this matter is not a big problem, isn't it just some food.As long as you, the god of plague, leave quickly, it doesn't matter if you spend some food and grass, anyway, there is plenty of food and grass in the grain depot of Crescent Moon Fort.

He immediately responded: "It's natural, don't mention anything and don't pay it back, just give it to the Sasanian army as a young prince." After that, he turned around and ordered the soldiers and servants in the castle to prepare.Not long after, they hung baskets with ropes on the top of the Wubao wall, and put down baskets of dry food and jerky for people, and horse feed for horses.Enough for Cossack's hundred riders and horses for five days.

Kosak winked, and more than [-] Xhosa warriors behind him rode out to take away the food and fodder that had been hung from the city.Then Kosak nodded to the head of the city, Denard, and said: "There will be a period later!"

Denard smiled and waved his hand in response, but cursed in his heart, what will happen later?I will meet you later!It's best not to see you again in this life.Soon, Kosack and his party disappeared from his sight.He just took a breath.Just as he was about to go down the city, someone came to report: "Master Xihou, another soldier appeared in the desert south of the city."

Denal patted his head, frowned and said angrily: "What's the matter today, they leave and come again. Who are they?"

"His Excellency, they are headed by Simmons Seguliu, the commander of the Bactrian mercenary regiment, who said they came for the young lady's wedding."

Only then did Denal feel relieved, and said: "It turns out that this kid is here. Didn't I write back to them that if you want to marry my daughter, you have to agree to my conditions? If you haven't fulfilled my conditions, what are you doing here?" ?” He moved his legs while talking, and walked towards the south gate.

When he reached the south city gate, Denard looked down the city, and a young and even childish face appeared in his line of sight.This person, Simmons Seleucus, was the son of Alexander Seleucus back then, and now he has inherited the position of head of the mercenary regiment, and has been recognized by the legion elders.

Chapter 828 The Dream Has Everything

"Simmons, have you fulfilled the conditions you promised me? If not, you came in vain, and I will not take my daughter..." Denard felt someone tugging on his sleeve before he finished speaking.He turned his head and saw that it was his young and beautiful little daughter, whose face was already blushing when she spoke.

It turned out that Simmons met Denard's daughter by chance at a noble gathering in Fulousha City, and the two soon fell in love.Afterwards, Simmons naturally came to Crescent Castle to formally propose.It's a pity that this proposal is useless only if Denard's daughter is willing, and Denard's consent is required.

Denard believed that although this mercenary group had soldiers and money, it did not have titles or land.Prior to this, Liang Jun's sphere of influence had not entered Guishuang, and such a mercenary group was no different from bandits in the eyes of nobles in Guishuang.They are all blood-licking jobs for money, but in different ways.

Although Liang Jun controlled Shendu and Guishuang in the future, and even Zhuluo, a powerful country in the south of Shendu, obeyed Liang Jun, the Bactrian mercenary group used by Liang Jun's court also gained legal status.However, the land they occupied was still borrowed from a poisoned Brahmin nobleman in the name of the Daliang court, and only the right to use it was left in the hands of the Brahmin nobleman in name.

In addition, the head of this mercenary regiment does not have any titles. He is not Wang Feihou, those princes of Guishuang and Brahmins from the poisonous countries. The Kshatriya royal family does not admit that they belong to the same class as themselves.Although Denard is an insignificant little lord of Guishuang, when he is asked to marry his daughter to Simmons, he is still unwilling from the bottom of his heart.So Denard put forward two harsh conditions for Simmons. One is that Simmons must have a territory, and the other is that he must have a title. Of course, it is better to become a king.

This is basically making things difficult for Simmons. If Daliang hadn't come, Simmons might still be able to occupy a piece of land in troubled times and become king on his own.Even so, he had to convince the elders of the elders in the legion to agree.What's more, now that he is poisoned, Guishuang is under the control of Daliang.If he did this again, it would be tantamount to making an open enemy of Daliang, and it would be impossible for him to be recognized by others.Simmons had to return dejectedly, but before leaving, he claimed to Denard that he would meet his two requirements in order to marry Miss Denard.

Immediately, Simmons shouted to the head of the city: "Master Denard, although I have not yet met the conditions you proposed. But the good news is that I will definitely be able to fulfill your two requirements in the near future, not only fulfilling your requirements, It is even possible to fulfill our family's wish for hundreds of years, which is to return to Greece and revive my Greek states. At that time, I will be the king of Athens, Macedonia, or Sparta, or even the leader of all Greece. "

Denard first looked at him with his mouth wide open, and then laughed wildly: "Silly boy, I think you should go home and sleep, because you have everything in your dreams. It's no wonder, at your age, I always I was dreaming, thinking that in the future I would be at least one of the five great lords of Guishuang. Who knows that when I reach middle age, the Guishuang Empire and the five great lords will no longer exist. Even if I still exist, it is unlikely that I will Realize the ideal."

Simmons retorted: "It's true. The Emperor Liang has issued an edict to let me accompany the Liang army on the westward expedition. He also said that if we can reach Greece, the hometown of our ancestors, we will be allowed to restore the Greek states. Even if in the end because of Certain conditions limit, such as Liang Guo and Rome have reached an alliance relationship, etc., we cannot restore the Greek states in the Greek homeland, and we will agree to establish a kingdom in the conquered Sasanian land."
