Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Before his buttocks were warmed up in the mansion, he heard the faint sound of horns and drums outside the city.Immediately, his personal guards also came to report that Liang Jun was about to attack.Nejjart was startled, it was too fast.Not long after the sea battle ended, Liang Jun launched an attack.

Nejjart immediately ordered the lieutenant general: "Go and arrange, all the defenders in the city will go to the top of the city to guard. In addition, prepare the beacon fire. Once the Liang army launches an attack on the city, let our troops in the left and right battalions rush out and attack them side rear."

The lieutenant was about to leave after receiving the order, but was stopped by Nejjart and said: "Wait, I expected the Liang army to attack from the sea at the same time. Otherwise, why did they not attack the city for so long, but today their fleet came and immediately launched an attack?" Attack? So the south of the city near the sea should also deploy heavy troops for defense, especially those ballistas, all of which should be transferred to the south of the city wall. They are all good things for fighting warships."

After Nejjart ordered the lieutenant general, he rushed out of the mansion as if flying, got on his horse and ran towards the north city wall.When he climbed to the top of the city, he saw that about [-] battles outside the city, Liang Jun had already left the camp and formed a dense army formation.Not long afterward, they slowly moved towards Gwadar City amidst the sound of drums and trumpets.

A quarter of an hour later, Liang Jun set up a position outside the city wall where there were hundreds of battles.The Ministry is equipped with ballistas and trebuchets.Nejart immediately ordered: "Send an order, light up the wolf smoke, and let the soldiers and horses in the left and right camps come out to respond."

Immediately, black smoke billowed from the top of Gwadar City.This is to tell the surrounding Sasanian army to follow the plan.According to the plan of the Sasanian army, when the Liang army was about to attack the Sasanian city, they would also form an army formation behind the Liang army.As soon as the Liang army started to attack Gwadar City, they attacked the attacking Liang army from the flank or rear.If the Liang army turned around to attack them, they would retreat into the camp.If the Liang army divides its forces to resist the enemy, it will play a role in reducing the pressure on the defenders in Gwadar City.

Not long after the smoke rose, commotion broke out in the Sasanian army camps within a few miles around Gwadar City.In the sound of the generals' orders, the soldiers rushed out of the camp and formed an army formation in the open space in front of the camp.Almost at the same time, two neatly arranged Liang army arrays were divided into east and west and inserted into Gwadar City three or four miles northeast and northwest. military.

Both sides were already at war with each other, facing each other.However, neither the Liang Army outside Gwadar City nor the Sassanid Army lining up outside the camp had any intention of taking the initiative to attack.The latter is waiting for the former's next move, but the former doesn't know what it is waiting for.Liang Jun just used ballistas and trebuchets to throw stone bullets and stones at the head of Gwadar City from time to time.These stones often hit the hard city wall and made a huge crisp sound, but they only left patches of white spots on the city wall, and did not cause actual damage.

"Report, to report to the governor, Liang Jun's warships have launched an attack on the southern city wall."

Nejjart, who was supervising the battle at the north gate, heard the report of the soldiers.He sneered and said, "As expected, it's as expected. Their main attack direction is at sea. Fortunately, we were prepared." After finishing speaking, he immediately set foot towards the south city wall.

When Nejjart came to the southern city wall, he saw his own soldiers crouching behind the walls and waiting in battle.Those ballistas were all erected in the bunkers behind the city wall. These bunkers were also made of stones. The bunkers were covered with thick wooden planks covered with a few inches of yellow sand.

The brazier at the mouth of the ballista has been lit, ready for the ballista to fire the Greek fire oil tank.The shooting port in the interlayer of the south city wall has also been opened, protruding out many metal pipes made of copper and lead.When the warships of the Liang Army stick to the city wall, they will spray out Greek fire dragons, which, together with the Greek fire pottery pots fired by the ballista at the head of the city, can bury all Liang Army ships close to the city wall in the sea of ​​flames.

On the sea below the city, accompanied by the sound of rumbling drums, hundreds of warships, large and small, were rushing towards Gwadar City.At the front of them are some fighting ships, in the middle are galleys, large Viking warships, and warships.The last is the large sailing ship with several tall battles.

When the battleship in front of Liang Jun was less than two hundred steps away from the city wall, the ballista at the top of the city began its first round of firing.Dozens of hundreds of stone bullets were fired at the Liang army. Unfortunately, at this distance, it is more difficult to use these stone bullets to hit those small ships on the vast sea than to reach the sky.So they just whip up a column of white water five or six feet high on the sea.

At the same time, the giant ballista mounted on the bow of Liang Jun's galleon also started firing. These ballistas have a firing range of more than five hundred steps, so they can throw huge stone or explosive bombs into Gwadar City.In an instant, stone pellets and fireballs rushed towards Gwadar City, some landed on the top of the city, and some flew into the city.Although it did not cause actual damage to the Sasanian army, it ignited a raging fire in the city and caused some fright to the Sasanian soldiers at the top of the city.

The rushing warship rushing to the forefront has already rushed towards the water gate of Gwadar City like an arrow leaving the string.When the distance was less than twenty battles, the ballista at the top of the city poured stone bullets towards it like hailstones, and with the sound of cracking wood, the fighting ship had turned into a pile of wrecks floating on the water. Rotten wood.The two nearby fighting ships were also shot and injured, but they continued to charge towards the water gate tenaciously.

Nejjart sneered, "Thinking to break our gate? With just a few small boats? That's really stupid." Then he noticed that there were large flakes of oil on the surface of the water floating on the broken wood, He laughed wildly again and said, "It turns out that you didn't intend to break open the gate, but to attack with fire. Do you think this gate is made of wood? How long will it take you to burn this iron gate to melt it?"

Before he could finish his words, a battering ship that had already been wounded and injured plunged into the opening of the water gate with a depth of only three feet, and the bow of the ship hit the gate.

There was a sudden, unbelievable boom in Nejjart's ears, and then nothing was heard.I just felt the ground under my feet tremble violently.The other soldiers on the top of the wall were also dumbfounded.There was no trace of the Liang Junchong fighting ship that had collided with it, and the water in front of the water gate was already a sea of ​​flames.The gate in the water gate has been severely deformed, but it has not been completely broken open...

Chapter 868 "Suicide" Attack

Nejjart felt that time was slowing down, but his own reaction also became slow.He shook his buzzing head, although his hearing had not yet recovered, but his mind was clear.He shouted as hard as he could, calling on the soldiers at the top of the city to stop Liang Jun's fighting ships.But he didn't give any method.

In fact, the soldiers at the top of the city were also temporarily deafened by the huge explosion, and it was impossible to hear his words.However, those who recovered from their senses continued to pour rolling wood and rocks down the city, and the ballista continued to fire a round of stone bullets, trying their best to resist the rushing ships that rushed like arrows from the string.But just now, the rain-like attack and bombardment failed to stop the fighting ships, and it was even more impossible to stop these fighting ships at the moment when many defenders in the city were stunned and distracted.

Another battleship crashed into the water gate of Gwadar City.Of course, the Liang Jun sailors inside jumped into the water and escaped a dozen breaths before the collision, and the Chongdou ship collided entirely by inertia.The cabin was filled with naphtha with built-in nails, leaving only a closed wooden barrel with a small eye for fire.The barrel was also sprinkled with naphtha used to ignite the fire.Once the ship hits an object in front, the fire resting on the stern will fly towards these wooden barrels under the action of inertia.The rapidly ignited fire instantly ignited the mixed gas in the wooden barrel through the ignition eye, causing a violent explosion.

Although such an explosion effect is far worse than that of explosives, or even gunpowder.But it can't stand the "too much material". There are hundreds of such wooden barrels on each ship, and the power of exploding together is quite impressive.

With a loud bang, the south wall of Gwadar City trembled again.The gate in the doorway became distorted and deformed, and the light behind the gate could already be seen through the huge gap.

The attack of the suicide fighting ship did not end, and two more fighting ships rushed through the raging fire one after another and hit the gate.Finally, the fourth battleship that exploded opened the gate.With the last blow, the gate made of copper and iron flew dozens of battles away, destroying a Sasanian warship anchored in the inner harbor before sinking into the water.

Those warships, galley warships, and Viking ships in the second echelon of the Liang army's attacking warships rushed over one after another.However, due to the raging fire burning at the water gate, they could only temporarily stop at the dozens of battles in front of the city wall.Use the ballista on the ship to bombard the city.

The Sasanian soldiers and generals at the top of the city have woken up from the successive violent explosions.Nejjart shouted: "Hurry up, annihilate these warships before they enter the city. Ballistas move quickly."

Later, stone bombs and fireballs poured down from the city again.A fireball hit the deck of Liang Jun's warship landing ship, and Greek fire overflowed the deck, engulfing the entire ship in a sea of ​​flames in an instant.The cabin exit has been sealed by the fire, and the sailors and landing soldiers in the cabin were forced to widen the side portholes with axes, and then jumped into the water to escape for their lives.There was also a large Viking warship whose bottom was pierced by stone bullets, and sea water began to pour in, forcing the soldiers of the Liang Army on it to abandon the ship and flee for their lives.

However, at a distance of dozens of battles, although the ballista on the high wall of five or six battles can hit a target from time to time, the hit rate is still very low.As a projectile weapon, the difficulty of projecting from a high place to a low place is much greater than that of a low place to a high place.

The two Sassanid ballistas were sweating and turning the winch, only to hear a crisp sound, and a Liang Jun's explosive bomb fell right in front of them.The two didn't care because they were used to the sound.They and the ballistas they manipulated had bunkers and were basically safe.

But then, they felt a wave of air sweeping towards them, knocking them to the ground, and when they came back to their senses, their entire upper body felt a sharp pain like being bitten by thousands of ants, and then they fainted from the pain. fell to the ground.

In fact, they have been completely changed by Liang Jun's explosive bombs, and their faces and chests have been bloody.Although they were covered by bunkers, there was a half-person-high shooting window in the upper part of the front of the ballista, and the flying iron filings and nails flew from it to knock them down.In addition to them, the soldiers hiding behind the walls at the head of the city also fell down.

Liang Jun's bombing became more and more accurate. In the sound of explosions, Sasanian soldiers were constantly being killed and injured by the bombs.Poor Sasanian generals don't know how to avoid the damage of explosives as much as possible.I don't know that only by crawling on the ground can I avoid the damage of the explosion.Every time they saw the fireball coming, they would stand up in fear and run away. As a result, they were knocked to the ground by the air waves, and their skin was torn apart by the iron nails and iron filings.

One is strong and the other is weak. With the increase of casualties, more and more ballistas of the Sasanian Army at the head of the city are misfired.In Liang Jun's fleet, the rearmost multi-masted galleons took the opportunity to come up and fired a salvo of ballistas, which immediately plunged the southern city wall of Gwadar Port into a sea of ​​flames.

At the same time, the fire at the water gate has been reduced.The flames on the surface of the water became only a few feet high, and the original sea of ​​flames turned into a circle of burning fires on the surface of the water.Liang Jun's landing ships, Viking ships, and galley warships poured into Gwadar City from the water gate.

Nejjart was injured by a few flying iron filings at this time, and his face was covered in blood, and he was taken to the top of the wall by the soldiers.He shouted from the stretcher Shanghai: "Quickly transfer the defenders from the north to the south city, we must block the Liang army, and we cannot let them go ashore!"

A lieutenant who had just arrived moved his mouth beside him, but seeing him seriously injured, he still didn't say anything.The lieutenant general actually wanted to say that Liang Jun's offensive in the north was also tight, and no more troops could be deployed to support the south.

……

Not long after Liang Jun launched an attack from the sea, the Liang Jun army formed under the city of Gwadar also launched an attack.But this is just a feint, Feng Yu has no intention of attacking the city from the north, unless the opponent completely abandons the defense of the north wall.

After Liang Jun shot the ballista and stone bombs from the trebuchet.Two thousand dead warriors rushed to the city wall carrying ladders.The tens of thousands of Sassanid troops lined up in the north and south also responded immediately and rushed to Liang Jun.It's just that they were immediately intercepted by the two Liang armies responsible for covering the main force.After a fierce battle, the Sasanian army was unable to break through the blockade of the Liang army, but was driven back to the camp.However, the generals of both sides have completed the basic tasks, and they all think that they have contained more than ten thousand troops of the other side.

Naturally, the Liang army that was attacking the city made no progress, and they didn't lose much with their bluff, with hundreds of casualties before and after.But they caused a great sense of oppression to the Sasanian army, making them dare not divide their troops to reinforce the south.

At this time, a large number of Liang Jun infantry successfully landed from the inner harbor pier of Gwadar City, and rushed towards the north gate along the main street of the city...

Chapter 869 Passing Through the City

Liang Jun did not encounter many obstacles when he landed in the inner port of Gwadar City.Probably because the Sasanian soldiers at the south wall suffered heavy losses, and the coach Nejjart was also injured, which caused their morale to be low and timid to fight.

However, when Liang Jun went to the north wall along the main street, he encountered many obstacles.It turned out that the troops that Nejjart requested to be transferred from the North City had already come face-to-face, and the reserve force of two thousand soldiers and horses in the city also went into battle.These Sasanian soldiers and horses totaled 5000 people.

There were less than 3000 Liang troops who landed in the inner port of Nancheng.Moreover, among the more than [-] people, more than [-] people will be left to guard the occupied inner harbor and water gate.So there were only more than [-] people rushing along the main street to the north gate.

It seems that the strength of the Liang army is far inferior to that of the Sasanian army, but these 3000 people are all Feng Yu's guards.Their combat strength is enough to crush the Sasanian army who blocked them.

Not long after Liang Jun marched northward along the main street, he was harassed by Sasanian small groups.They either exposed themselves from the roofs of houses on the street, and shot and threw stones at Liang Jun on the street.Or suddenly stab out a spear from the window to assassinate Liang Jun's infantry who are close to the house.

The archers of Liang Jun, who occupied the commanding heights of the city wall, quickly suppressed the Sasanian soldiers on the roof with sniper shots.Within a short period of time, there were twenty or thirty corpses scattered all over the roof.Those Sassanid infantry hiding in the house were able to escape from the narrow streets and alleys outside the house's outer door or back door before Liang Jun broke into the house.

The mission of this Liang army was to capture the North Gate as quickly as possible, so they could not have time to chase down these small groups of enemy soldiers.They were forced to keep as far as possible from the windows and doors of the houses as they marched.At that moment, Dian Wei, who temporarily commanded them, took the lead and rushed to the front, gradually opening a few battles away from the soldiers behind.

Five Sassanian soldiers suddenly appeared from the side alley.Attempt to kill him by surprise.Dian Wei raised his hands, and two shining halberds flew out of his hands.One was hitting the forehead of a Sassanian soldier, while the other was embedded in the shoulder of another Sassanian soldier.

Immediately afterwards, he swiped his hands from behind, and took two short-handled halberds like axes in his hands.Two Sasanian soldiers rushed to his side, one left and one right, stabbing his ribs fiercely with steel knives in their hands.Dian Wei didn't dodge, he moved the two halberds to the left and right like swimming, when the opponent's saber tip just touched his armor, his halberd also cut off the opponent's neck at the same time.One person's head fell directly to the ground, while the other was still hanging on his body.Seeing that the situation was not going well, the last person ran away, and Dian Wei went up and aimed a halberd at the back of his head.

Dian Wei killed the rise, lifted his feet and wanted to run forward, but when he raised his eyes, he froze on the spot.Because the Sassanid army was rushing towards the main street ahead.But at the forefront are the heavy armored cavalry of the Sassanian army, their lances are lined up.The roar of the horse's iron hooves running on the stone road is deafening.

Anyone with common sense on the battlefield would know what would happen if pawns encountered hordes of cavalry on such a street with limited space, Dian Wei's face turned pale.Now Liang Jun couldn't hide in the narrow streets and alleys on both sides, because he didn't know how many enemy soldiers were waiting for them there.

"Formation! Formation of anti-cavalry!" Dian Wei, who was covered in cold sweat, roared loudly.Contrary to his nervousness, the Guards infantry behind him calmly formed a shield wall in front of them.The soldiers in the last few rows took off the individual ballistas carried on their backs, opened and closed the lever, and fired a ballista.

This series of actions took only three or four breaths, but Sassan's cavalry had rushed to less than ten battles in front of the shield wall.Following the command of General Liang Jun, "Let it go!" Dozens of hundreds of crossbow spears shot straight away.Dian Wei then saw a fog of blood appearing in front of him.Those Sasanian heavy riders and horses fell in a pool of blood amid the neighing of the horses.The bodies of some centaurs slid along the street in front of the shield wall under the action of inertia.

The Liang army in front was divided into three groups, firing crossbow spears almost continuously, hundreds of shots per wave.Whenever the other two waves are fired, the third wave is already ready.By the end of the fifth round of shooting, the corpses of Sasanian soldiers and horses were strewn all over the streets.Seeing that the situation was not going well, the remaining hundreds of Sasanian cavalry fled to the side alleys and small streets.

But the Sasanian infantry behind them, driven by the general, continued to attack Liang Jun with their shields up and their swords and guns raised.They crossed the street full of blood and corpses, and when they got close to Liang Jun for only a dozen battles, they heard a buzzing sound in their ears.That was the sound effect produced by the resonance of rubber bands when nearly [-] Liang troops gathered individual ballistas.Then came the roar of crossbow guns.They were different from the previous direct shots, but were thrown and poured down like a torrential rain, covering a block of hundreds of steps.

Not everyone of those Sasanian soldiers was equipped with a large shield, and not everyone who held a shield could protect themselves well.Such dense crossbow spears can always find an angle, penetrate their armor, and penetrate their bodies.

Only those who held a large shield and squatted on the ground with their bodies lowered against the shield were relatively safe.Even so, someone also happened to be pierced in the head by the blade of the crossbow that penetrated the shield.The Sassanid soldiers in the rear looked dumbfounded. In their eyes, they first saw something covering the sky and covering the sun rushing towards them, and then the soldiers in the front just fell into a pool of blood as if they had been enchanted. .Then heart-piercing screams resounded on the spot.Many of these Sasanian soldiers did not die on the spot, but were seriously injured by crossbow guns and lost their ability to move.Especially those sword and shield soldiers equipped with large shields.

When another volley of nearly [-] crossbow guns came, the Sasanian army on the street had lost its will, and receded to the small streets and alleys on both sides like the ebb tide.

Liang Jun hurriedly seized the time and continued to rush northward, even ignoring the Sasanian wounded soldiers all over the ground.However, at this time, Sasanian army archers emerged from the roofs of the houses on both sides, and shot cold arrows at the Liang army soldiers on the street, causing continuous casualties to the Liang army.

Dian Wei said heartily: "Ignite them with ballistas and burn all the roofs up!" After Liang Jun got the order in front, he immediately lit torches and threw them on the roofs of houses on both sides of the street.Most of the roofs of these houses are paved with thatched planks, which were burnt into pieces in a short time.Liang Jun continued to gallop on the hot street, and finally came near the North City Gate.Dozens of Sasanian defenders in the city gate saw the dark Liang army rushing in, and they threw away their weapons and fled long ago.Liang Jun immediately rushed to the middle of the city gate and the stairs at the top of the city...

Chapter 870

Liang Jun, who rushed into the city gate, split the fixed and riveted door bolt with the big ax he had prepared long ago, and the city gate suddenly opened wide.Through the city gate, Dian Wei could clearly see his own army waiting two hundred paces away.He saw that there was a moat outside the city, and the suspension bridge outside the gate was still hanging high, so without saying a word, he rushed out of the gate a few steps ahead and chopped at the ropes of the suspension bridge with a halberd.

The drawbridge fell with a crash, stirring up a cloud of dust on the other side of the moat.At the same time, Feng Yu had also seen the opening of the city gate. He was convinced that Dian Wei had succeeded, so he waved his hand.Gao Shun, Dian Qing, Zhao Yun and other powerful generals under his command immediately killed them.Zhao Yun rushed into Gwadar City first with his heavy armored cavalry.

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses followed closely behind, pouring into Gwadar City like a torrent.A moment later, Liang Jun was flooding the streets and alleys of Gwadar City like mercury pouring down the ground.The entire Gwadar City boiled up, the sound of fighting filled every corner of the city, and the fire that started on the north-south main street also began to spread.

Another half an hour later, the east gate and west gate of Gwadar City opened one after another.From time to time, groups of defeated Sasanian soldiers escaped and ran towards the camps located in the east and west of Gwadar City.But they were immediately hunted down by Liang Jun's rangers.

The chief general of the Eastern Sasanian camp in Gwadar City learned that the Liang army had entered the city, and led his soldiers to fight outside the camp again.The calculation in his heart is that even if Gwadar City cannot be saved, the coach Nejjart will be rescued anyway.

However, Liang Jun, who was two miles to the west of the camp and had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, had not yet left.It is inevitable that he would forcefully charge the same result as two hours ago.So he came up with an idea to use the infantry phalanx to attract Liang Jun's attention, and then took his own cavalry to take the opportunity to detour to Gwadar City.

Five or six thousand Sassanid infantry lined up a three-mile-wide formation with bluff, and slowly approached the Liang army lying there.From a distance, they look huge.But in fact, the army array is arranged horizontally, with only three or four thin rows.It will be revealed from a high altitude.At the same time, the general led all the war cavalry, including the armored camel, to circle around Gwadar City from a distance.

These three or four thousand riders traveled less than a hundred battles away, and then they were blocked by this Liang army in front of them.The main general looked intently, and the opponent was composed of light cavalry and chariots, and there were not many of them.

It was this general who led the heavy cavalry and iron camels to successfully drive away Wei Yan's light cavalry and chariots last time.Coincidentally, Wei Yanzai is personally commanding this army consisting of Liang Jun Qingqi and chariots.

When General Sassan saw this situation, he calmed down, and without saying a word, he directly waved his army to cover up and kill them.Two thousand camel armored cavalry lived there, and the rest of the heavy armored cavalry were distributed on both wings, riding their horses to hide and kill Liang Jun.

In order to prevent his heavy cavalry from being shot and killed by the opponent's longbowmen, the Sasanian general deliberately let the heavy cavalry on both wings lag behind by more than a hundred steps.The two thousand camel cavalry running ahead were getting closer and closer to Liang Jun. Liang Jun's bows and arrows kept coming, but it was still the same.Even with a long bow and heavy arrows, they couldn't penetrate the heavy armor on the camel cavalry, and were bounced to the ground after a crisp clanging sound.

Seeing this, the Sasanian lord even shouted for the cavalry to speed up.At this moment, he suddenly heard a camel's mournful cry, and then saw a nearby camel jump around a few times, and then simply lay down on its side, hoisting its hooves in the air.The rider between the humps had already been knocked down.Then more camel cavalry encountered the same situation, throwing off the riders on their backs as if possessed, and then lay down, refusing to stand up again.

Turning his head around, he immediately understood what was happening, and shouted: "No, there must be something in the grass on the ground. Stop moving forward! Back up! Back up!".This is naturally a large amount of barbed wire that was sprinkled by Liang Jun under the turf specifically for camels.

At the same time, Liang Jun's light cavalry flying feathers and longbow chariots galloped towards them.This time Qingqi Feiyu was in the middle, while the longbow chariots were on both sides.When these longbow chariots were more than two hundred steps away from the heavy cavalry of the Sasanian army, they opened their bows and shot at them.

But Qingqi rushed directly to the camel cavalry.Some camel riders who had just stood up from the ground were knocked to the ground again, and were trampled by Liang Jun Qingqi's iron hooves.Although this Qingqi has the word "light", it is actually not light at all.When the weight of more than a thousand catties was transmitted from the iron palm to the body of the Sasanian rider, the internal organs of these riders were instantly crushed, and they vomited blood and died.

The Sasanian camel cavalry were in a panic, and their camel mounts continued to step on the barbed wire as they retreated.Moreover, Liang Jun Qingqi, who rushed past the camels, scattered barbed wire behind them.

Seeing this, the Sassanid general understood that the "trap" under the turf was ineffective against horses with iron palms.Then he shouted at the left and right wings of the rear, and the heavy cavalry who were hundreds of battles away: "Come up quickly! Come up quickly and kill these enemy light cavalry."

However, it was not easy for his heavy cavalry to rush up, because Liang Jun's longbow chariots distributed on both wings had been lined up, and they would continuously shoot heavy arrows at these Sasanian heavy cavalry.

Amid the whistling sound of arrows piercing through the air, the galloping Sasanian heavy cavalry riders were shot down one by one by their horses.It took them a lot of effort to get close to the trapped camel cavalry.At this time, those Qingqi Feiyu had turned around and returned.

Sassan's general pointed to the longbow and chariot lanes: "Drive them away first..." Before he could finish speaking, he was shot in the head with an arrow and fell off his horse.However, those Sassanian heavy cavalry, led by the generals, still charged towards the line of longbow chariots.The opponent galloped back for nearly a hundred battles without any haste, and opened the distance again.The heavy arrows continued to shoot wildly, and almost every shot would hit the target.

Under such circumstances, how could they continue to maintain their fighting spirit and morale, they turned their horses around one after another, trying to leave the battlefield.But those longbow chariots stuck up again, causing casualties to them continuously.

Most of the trapped Sasanian camel cavalry had to retreat on foot, but Liang Jun Qingqi went back and charged at them again.After more than half an hour, the battlefield full of corpses finally quieted down.

The city of Gwadar was also quiet at this time, and Liang Jun had completely controlled the city.The defenders in the city were either wiped out or captured, and a few escaped through the east and west gates.Liang Jun searched the whole city from house to house, but could not find Nejjart.

After interrogating some Sassanid generals and captives, it was learned that Nejjart fled from the west gate with his wounds after the Liang army landed at the inner harbor wharf, escorted by his own soldiers.He must have fled to the group of strongholds that Sasanian had deployed to the west of the city.

Chapter 871

When Gwadar City was firmly controlled by the Liang Army, and the Sasanian heavy cavalry and camel armored cavalry in the east of the city were also defeated by the Liang Army, their bluffing infantry formation was also pierced by the Liang Army formation in a short time.

The Sassanid infantry were then routed.Before they had time to escape back to the camp, they were intercepted by Liang Jun's cavalry and chariots who had just arrived.In a moment, the corpses killed by Liang Jun were scattered all over the field, and they fled.Their camp naturally fell into the hands of Liang Jun.

When the sun was setting, the Liang army in the west of Gwadar City launched an attack on the last few Sasanian camps in the west of the city.When they rushed into the camp, they only saw some Sasanian soldiers packing their luggage and preparing to leave, and went up to kill them without saying a word.The Sasanian soldiers fled and surrendered immediately.

Liang Jun looked at the prisoners, but they were all old and weak. After further interrogation, he found out that Nejjart had already fled to the northwest with the elite of the camp, leaving only the old and weak behind to pack up and evacuate.

At this time, Nejjart was walking on the Gobi in the Persian Plateau with the last of his soldiers and horses.A few dozen battles ahead of them was a three-way intersection.One of Nejart's confidant generals asked: "Your Excellency, there are two intersections ahead. The one on the right going north leads to Persis. The one on the left going west leads to Shirov and Uja. Where should I go now?"

Nejjart remained silent and continued to ride slowly.But when he reached the intersection, he didn't hesitate to stop, turned directly to the left, and headed west.

In fact, during the journey of less than a hundred steps, he had already entangled the stakes and interests several times in his mind.He lost Gwadar Port so quickly, and he was bound to escape the punishment of Emperor Ardashir.If he went directly to Persis, he might be taken down by Ardashir on the spot, and his head would be chopped off.

But if he doesn't go to Persis to see Arda Hill, can he escape the crime?Don't say that Ardashir will settle accounts after the fall, and ask the crime in the future.Even at this moment, the theoretical emperor can punish him or even kill him with a single imperial decree.

This Nejjart also calculated, he knew that Gwader was lost.The tens of thousands of Liang Junhui gathered in Gwadar Port will then go north.Based on the strength of the Liang army he had seen before, it was estimated that after these Liang armies joined the Liang army on the North Road, Ardashir would be hard-pressed even with an army of more than [-].At that time, Ardasil was not only too busy to take care of himself, but also had no energy to think about asking himself for guilt.And the fate of the entire Sasanian Empire is unpredictable.You can just sit and watch the changes in Shirov Port or Uri Port.This is no better than being beheaded by Alda Hill on the spot.

If Ardashir really took time out of his "busy schedule" to issue an edict to punish himself, he could use his power to temporarily suppress the matter first.You know, Nejjart is also the commander of the southern Sasanian theater.The soldiers and horses of several southern coastal provinces are under his control.

At this moment, Nejjart turned his head and saw that everyone had followed, and said calmly: "Pass my order and dispatch a capable person to report the battle situation to Persis on a fast horse. To His Majesty Ardash Er reported that the enemy army was powerful, with tens of thousands of warships, and secret weapons like ghosts and gods. Our army resisted desperately, but in the end the Liang army broke through the castle. Well... after our army desperately resisted, the main general Nejjart was also seriously injured. Now the main general Nejjart will lead the rest of the troops to retreat to Shirov Port to prevent the Liang army from advancing along the coastline by water and land, and continue westward to invade the heartland of our Sassanian Empire - Mesopotamia. "

Riding a fast horse, he left Nejjart's team, returned to the fork in the road, and rode away to Persis in a hurry...

On the wilderness ninety miles northeast of Persis, there are tents everywhere, and flags and candles sky high.It was just at dawn, and plumes of cooking smoke rose from the camp.That was when the cooks began to prepare breakfast for the generals, and the soldiers upstairs all looked tired.

At this time, in a certain large-scale camp, there was a man wearing bright armor and gorgeous clothes.This person is Ardashir.As in the past, he had to climb up to the tallest watchtower in the camp at this time, and look and observe the Liang Jun camp which was more than 200 battles away.

The Sasanian army and the Liang army on the North Road have been confronting each other for more than a month.More than a month ago, Liang Jun's [-] soldiers and horses finally set off from Mulu City and began to advance towards Persis.Ardahill, who had been waiting all this time, was overjoyed when he saw Liang Jun walking according to his strategic intention.He immediately mobilized more than [-] troops that had assembled in Persis City and its vicinity, trying to rely on the strong city of Persis and some of its satellite castles, as well as the mountainous terrain to lay pockets on the approaching Liang army.Once Liang Jun entered within twenty miles of Persis City.The arranged armies from all walks of life can quickly surround them from all directions, forming an encirclement trend.

In the following time, he received a letter of appeal from Nejjart who sent him a fast horse, so he gave Nejjart the reply.He believes that the [-] army, plus the huge fleet transferred from Shirov is enough to hold Gwadar, at least for a month or two.By that time, he had wiped out the Liang army that was rushing to Persis to die, and then sent his troops south to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Liang army.

But not long after, Liang Jun, who was about to enter the "pocket", suddenly stopped his progress, and turned around and turned back to Mulu City.

In fact, this was because Zhou Yu, commander of the Liang army on the North Road, had received news from Feng Yu that the main force of the [-] Liang army in the south would attack Gwadar first, and could not join forces with him near Persis as planned.Zhou Yu calculated that if he went deep into the vicinity of Persis City alone, he would not be able to capture the city, and he would be at risk of being encircled.So he decided to withdraw to Mulu City first.

How could Ardashir be willing to let the duck fly away from his mouth, and urgently ordered Sulehar to lead [-] war cavalry in pursuit. The purpose was not to defeat the Liang army, but to hold it back.At the same time, a military order was issued to the Sasanian generals of the various ministries near the city of Persis, and they were also ordered to lead their troops eastward in pursuit.

For this decision, Sulehar objected, the reason is very simple, without the city of Persis and the nearby castles, camps and mountainous terrain as a support.On the flat plain in the east, as long as the opponent handles it properly, even if all the more than [-] soldiers and horses catch up, they will not be able to surround the opponent.

If Liang Jun's logistical supplies cannot be cut off, it is very likely that the two sides will camp for a long time and face off in the end.Such a confrontation between more than 3 troops and [-] soldiers and horses is quite a disadvantage from a strategic point of view.It is equivalent to the other party freezing more than [-] horses of its own side with only [-] people.

But Ardasil ignored Sulehar's advice and insisted on annihilating the North Liang army.Sulehar had no choice but to act according to the order, leading [-] cavalry to chase Liang Jun madly...

Chapter 872

Sulehar's iron cavalry caught up with Liang Jun on the North Road in just three days.However, when they were still more than ten miles away from Liang Jun, Zhou Yu, the commander of Liang Jun, got the news from the troops behind the palace.

Zhou Yu knew that he would never be able to run away, so when he came to a small river, he ordered to stop the march, and stood behind the water in a large formation to wait.At the same time, he also ordered the heavy soldiers to build camps on both sides of the river.
