Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Therefore, this sentry stronghold named Sedaman was expanded into a castle.The Great Wall passed close to its southern wall, and a springboard was laid on the two walls to connect the two walls into one.It also naturally became a fortress of the Great Wall, with two or three hundred soldiers guarding it daily.

At this time, more than [-] miles away from Saidaman Fortress, five Persian soldiers who had just become Liang Jun patrolled northwest along the corridor of the Great Wall.They chatted as they walked, and the most talked about was of course the new king who had just settled in Taixifeng, and some things that the new court had promised them.Suddenly, the three of them stopped talking and stopped walking as if they saw a ghost.It turned out that the corridor of the Great Wall was cut off at their feet, and a big hole was dug through the wall of the Great Wall.

After a long time, the leader came back to his senses, and hurriedly ordered: "Come here, someone, go down and check, how did the city wall fall down?"

He still had luck in his heart, thinking that the city wall collapsed because of its quality or some natural disaster.But the soldiers who climbed below immediately noticed something strange, there were bricks smashed by blunt tools.This must be a man-made city wall.The soldier shouted: "No, this city wall was pierced by manpower!"

The leader who was still on the top of the wall suddenly changed his face, and said with trembling lips: "It must be the Bedouins who have come, they have already penetrated the city wall and entered!" Then he came back to his senses and said anxiously : "Quick, let's go back and raise the smoke!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten arrows suddenly shot out from the woods on one side of the city wall, and two of them were nailed to his body one after another.Before the leader hummed, he fell to the bottom of the city.Apart from him, five or six other people also fell to the ground one after another.

Dozens of Bedouins armed with scimitars and crossbows jumped out of the woods and fought until the wall collapsed.The Liang Jun Persian soldier who jumped off the city wall to check the situation was climbing the wall, but was pulled down by the Bedouin by his ankle, and then chopped off his head.

The remaining Persian soldiers on the wall turned around and ran towards Saidangman.But when they approached a tower, a few Bedouins suddenly jumped out from inside, raised their knives, and beheaded them to the ground.

After another quarter of an hour, billows of dust rose from the other side of the city wall.A large group of Bedouins emerged from it.This army was formed by gathering tribes from several oases in the Bedouin desert.Some of them rode camels, some rode war horses, and poured into the wall along the gap in the dug-out city wall.

One of the old men with gray beard and beard looked around and asked in a cold voice, "What? Has your actions been discovered?"

The dozens of Bedouins who broke into the wall as the vanguard hurriedly replied: "If you look back, when we broke into the wall, there was no one there. After a long time, it was just now. These people came here .But we killed them all in a very short time, so we should not be noticed by the Persians now."

Only then did the old man feel relieved and continued: "I'll just say it. The Sassanians gathered an army of one million to fight fiercely with the army from the far east, and the whole army was defeated. How could there be many steps left on the Great Wall?" Pawn. We continue to follow the plan!"

With a wave of his hand, some of the nearly [-] Bedouins abandoned their mounts and climbed up the city wall, while others continued to ride their horses along the city wall towards Saidaman.

As nomadic Bedouins, it is common to plunder the Mesopotamian plains located in the Mesopotamia.It's just that in recent years Ardashir has reunified Persia and established the Sassanian Empire. After that, the country has become stronger and stronger, and it is still building large-scale construction projects around the border to build the Great Wall.This made the Bedouins dare not look beyond Mesopotamia.

But when the Daliang army invaded the Mesopotamia, the Bedouin felt that the opportunity had come, and they began to move around.Soon, a shocking news came that the Sassanid army of one million was defeated by an army of [-] people from the far east, but actually only [-] to [-].Next, the entire Mesopotamia and even the Persian Plateau were brought into the hands of this country called Daliang.

This made the Bedouin who wanted to make a mistake immediately give up the idea.But not long after, they heard that Liang Jun had withdrawn most of his troops.Individual tribes and forces among them made up their minds again.

At present, the Bedouin army that broke through the Great Wall and marched towards Saidaman Fortress is the tribal alliance armed forces organized by a tribal leader named Hassan.

When the Bedouins were less than two miles away from the Saidaman fortress, the defenders of Saidaman had already received a report from the farmers near the fortress.No sooner had they closed the gates of the fortress than the Bedouins rushed down the walls.Seeing that the gate was closed, he reined in his horse and stopped far away.

The panicked two or three hundred soldiers in the fortress kept firing their bows and arrows, but the distance was too far to have almost no effect.At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noise from the wall near the Great Wall.It turned out that it was the Bedouins who came to kill along the corridor of the Great Wall.

These Persians were not the standing troops of the original Sasanian Empire, and their combat power was very low.But these Bedouins were all brave and good at fighting, and the outcome of the battle was an overwhelming victory for the Bedouins.Two or three hundred Persian soldiers quickly turned into cold corpses.

The Bedouins opened the warehouses in the fortress, and only found some food and arrows, but did not find the gold and silver treasures they longed for.Then they plundered all the villages near the fortress, and there were screams of men after being stabbed and guns, screams and pleadings of women, and the laughter of Bedouins everywhere.A large number of people were brought back to the fort by them in a string with ropes.These captives were sent to the slave market for sale.It's just that they still haven't found gold, silver and jewelry.

That night, more Bedouins swarmed the fort like flies smelling shit.After their troops joined forces with Hassan's war cavalry, there were tens of thousands of them.They elected Hassan as the leader and planned to go deep into the hinterland of Mesopotamia to earn a vote.So Hassan ordered hundreds of people to stay in the fortress to guard the prisoners, and then took tens of thousands of Bedouin horses of various colors to continue to kill in the hinterland of the Mesopotamian Plain.

Chapter 924

The lower reaches of the Euphrates River, the military camp in the city of Hamza.

Five hundred soldiers of the Liang Army were practicing on the school field.Hamza is one of only a dozen or so cities in the original Sassanian territory where real Liang soldiers were stationed.Of course, apart from the five hundred yellow-skinned and black-haired original Liang soldiers, there were also two thousand original Sasanian soldiers who had just surrendered to Daliang.They were all under the command of a Liang army general Dian Qing on the school field.

However, only a few of these Sasanian soldiers were capable soldiers, and most of them were local old and weak who served short-term military service.The great battle that took place just a few months ago made it impossible for this vast land to recover so quickly.

Dian Qing is instructing the soldiers to carry out the shooting training of individual ballistas.In Dian Qing's eyes, if this kind of individual ballista is thrown, it has no hit rate at all, and it must rely on intensive shooting to exert its lethal effect.But once it is used for close-range direct shooting, it is wonderful.It's just that although the ballista was equipped with sights, the soldiers did not have the habit of aiming in the short-range direct fire within [-] battles. Instead, they fired in sections and continued to use intensive shooting methods to suppress the enemy. military.This has a good effect on densely packed enemies without shield armor.But on the contrary, the effect is very bad. When the enemy rushes in, these soldiers equipped with only short knives will immediately fall into a disadvantage.

The wooden door of the barracks compound was suddenly knocked open, and several Persian soldiers who did not belong to this barracks broke in. Among them was a translator specially assigned to Dian Qing, who said in blunt Chinese in a panic: "General, no All right. The Bedouins broke through the Great Wall defenses and came towards us."

Dian Qing took a breath and asked, "How many soldiers and horses have come? From which point did they break through the Great Wall?"

"Report to the general, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they broke into the Great Wall from Saidaman. This is a soldier from Saidaman, who escaped and told us. Now they are coming to our side!" The translator continued to use grammar Reported in imprecise Chinese.

Dian Qing immediately shouted: "Pass my military order, the whole army gathers, including Han soldiers and Persian soldiers!"

Liang Jun in the compound quickly lined up in five neat rows, but the Persian soldiers were delayed.After a while, only a few hundred Persian soldiers entered the courtyard, and the interpreter came to report: "Report to the general, it's not good, everyone ran away in fright, only these 300 people came to report. Do you want to report?" Catch it back."

Listening to the unfluent Chinese, Dian Qing probably could guess the meaning.That is, most of the more than 2000 Persian soldiers heard that tens of thousands of Bedouins were about to kill them, and they were afraid in their hearts. Most of them deserted, and only a few hundred people followed the military order to report.

Dian Qing glanced at the 300 Persian soldiers, shook his head and said, "No need, it's useless to capture those who are afraid of war. Besides, we don't have that many manpower to do this."

Then he said to the 300 Persian soldiers: "As long as you do your best to be loyal to the country, you will definitely be rewarded with gold and silver. In addition, you will perform meritorious deeds in front of the Holy One."

The three hundred Persian soldiers waved their weapons and cheered after hearing the translator's translation.After Dianqing sent a messenger to report the military situation to Feng Yu in Taixifeng, he began intensive preparations for defense.

That evening, when the sun was setting, thousands of Bedouin warriors appeared to the west of Hamza City.They searched the surrounding villages first, only to find that these villages were empty, not to mention people, not even a grain of grain in the granary, and apparently they all hid in the city of Hamza for refuge.

Tens of thousands of Bedouin warriors immediately surrounded the small city of Hamza.At this time, the sky was already dark, Hassan looked at the brightly lit city, and said coldly: "The whole army is camping in the open air, waiting for my military order."

The Bedouins then dismounted not far from the city.Their camping place is also very simple, that is, a wool felt is spread on the ground and it becomes a bed.Of course, some wooden stakes with sharpened ends were simply inserted obliquely around their camp as horse refusal posts to prevent the enemy from raiding the camp with iron cavalry at night.

The night was getting darker and darker, but Hassan hadn't fallen asleep yet.His wolf-like eyes have been watching the city.In the end, he found something strange. Although the top of the city looked brightly lit, it seemed that there were a large number of soldiers and horses holding torches, but in fact most of them were motionless, and only a few sparks were moving back and forth along the city wall.

Hassan figured it out in his mind, if there was a person under each of these lights, then there was no need for Liang Jun to send some people to patrol along the city wall.In other words, a large number of lights is bluffing.Thinking of this, Hassan had an idea in his heart, and said to his bodyguard: "Go, call some chiefs for me, I have something to discuss with them..."

After a while, a team of more than [-] people drove down the city, and they dispersed when they reached the bottom of the wall.Holding the Roman scorpion crossbow and shooting the claws at the top of the city, and then throwing away the Roman scorpion crossbow, with a short knife in his mouth, he climbed up to the top of the city at a fast speed.

Liang Jun, who was patrolling at the top of the city, found them immediately. In fact, Hassan didn't expect to be able to open the city gate by sneaking in.He was sure that the Liang army did not have many horses, and 300 people climbed to the top of the city together, and a hundred people could go up no matter what.And as long as there are a hundred people who can climb the top of the city, it should be a breeze to open the city gate.

At the top of the city, a Liang Jun slashed at a rope on a hook with a knife, but his knife was too light, and he could only cut a little bit of the thick hemp rope with a single stroke.

A Persian soldier rushed up, but what he was holding was a chopping ax in his hand, and he cut the rope with one strike of the ax.The Bedouin fell into the city with screams.However, this Persian Liang Jun was immediately shot down by random arrows flying from the city.

The rest of the Persian soldiers also swung their sharp axes and hatchets and chopped at the ropes of each hook and claw.But even so, it didn't stop the Bedouin's pace, and a hundred of them jumped onto the top of the city.At the head of the city, they only encountered slight resistance from more than ten Liang Jun Han soldiers and a hundred Persian soldiers.After the dozen or so Liang Jun Han soldiers shot dozens of arrows, they retreated along the corridors on both sides.The Persian soldiers rushed down the stairs in a swarm.

These Bedouins didn't chase after them, but just ran down the city, and they wanted to open the city gate in the shortest possible time.Running to the bottom of the city, they encountered Liang Jun's individual ballista shooting, and five or sixty people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground one after another.But in the end the remaining three or forty people opened the city gate.The Bedouins who had been waiting outside rushed in.

Seeing that the city of Hamza was about to be broken, rows of soldiers from the Liang army appeared on the street behind the city gate. The individual ballistas in their hands fired row after row of crossbow guns into the door opening, and then there was a low and muffled bang. There was a sound, and flames soared into the sky, filling the entire doorway.There was a howl like a pig being slaughtered in the sea of ​​flames, and the Bedouin warriors who were lucky enough to have crossed the range of the sea of ​​flames also fell under the continuous row of crossbow spears fired by Liang Jun...

Chapter 925

Outside the west gate of Hamza City.A large number of Pyromen rushed out of the city gate completely filled with flames, and then fell to the ground.Seeing this scene, Hassan opened his mouth wide in shock, unable to utter a word.

When the fire is a little less, you can see that the doorway is full of charred corpses.The Bedouins waited for a long time before they came to their senses.Hassan pointed at the door opening with a scimitar: "That's their trap, but it's used up now, don't be afraid to follow me."

After finishing speaking, he patted the hump of the Bactrian camel with his hands, and rushed to the door opening in the lead.Seeing him taking the lead, the rest of the Bedouin knights also followed.Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the gate, they discovered that although the original city gate had been burned down, there was another "city gate" behind the gate opening.This is a defensive device called a saimen knife cart. It is actually a movable city gate with wheels, and a sharp blade is "planted" on the door panel facing the outside.This "door panel" is not all solid.There are also many hollowed out parts on it as shooting holes.Arrows and crossbow guns flew out of these holes from time to time.

A Bedouin cavalry beside Hassan had fallen.Seeing that the situation was not good, Hassan hurriedly turned his mount and ran back.Seeing that it was completely impossible to attack Hamza tonight, he had no choice but to let the soldiers go back to rest and fight again at dawn tomorrow.But Hamza was still besieged tightly.

At dawn on the second day, as the Bedouins sounded their horns, thousands of horsemen gathered around Hamza again.Hassan gave Hamza a fierce look at the top of the city, waved his hand and said, "Kill! No one will be left after entering the city!"

A personal guard next to him asked talkatively: "Don't you want slaves? People in this city can sell for a lot of money!" Before he finished speaking, he was whipped by Hassan.

"Idiot, this place is nearly a hundred miles away from the great desert. How can we have so many manpower to escort prisoners of war. After we succeed, we must go to the desert oasis quickly, otherwise, when the other party comes to their senses, they will gather heavy troops to block our retreat , then we will be doomed!"

While they were talking, tens of thousands of Bedouin cavalry had rushed to the surrounding walls like a tide, and countless claws with ropes were thrown into the air by the scorpion crossbow.The ropes hanging from the top of the city densely covered the four walls.

Thousands of Bedouin knights held these ropes and stood atop horses or camels.Then they took advantage of the momentum of their mounts, jumped up, and quickly climbed towards the top of the wall with hands and feet.At the same time, several battering rams made of giant wood were carried by four tall camels and charged towards the four city gates.

At this time, Dian Qing was hiding in an arrow tower transformed from a city tower. He bent his bow and set up an arrow to launch precise sniper shots at the enemy, while continuously issuing orders to direct the battle.He drew a sharp arrow from the quiver again, and said while bending his longbow: "After the Greek fire cabinets are prepared at the gates of the four sides, it is enough to leave more than ten people guarding them, they cannot rush in through the gates. Everyone else goes to the top of the city and defends according to the established strategy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the arrow in his hand flew out of the string, and a person who looked like a Bedouin chief was loaded from the camel and fell to the ground in the distance.

On the city wall, the Persian soldiers in the Liang army wielded hatchets and axes and slashed at the ropes, trying to reduce the number of enemy soldiers as much as possible.And those Han soldiers beat the rolling wood to the stone, and the boiling water poured down along the city wall.

This time, the number of enemy soldiers climbing the ropes at the same time was much more than last night, with thousands of people on each wall.However, Liang Jun only had 200 guards on each wall on average, and the strength of troops varied greatly.Even though Liang Jun cut hundreds of ropes and killed and wounded hundreds of Bedouins with rolling wood and stones.However, nearly [-] Bedouins climbed to the top of the city at almost the same time.

Two loud arrows sounded one after another, and the soldiers of the Liang Army retreated to the stairway after hearing the signal.But when they reached the stairway, they stopped and formed a dense queue as if they had already planned.Rows of well-stringed individual ballistas were raised flat,

However, most of the Bedouins who came along the corridor were wearing shields. Seeing Liang Jun holding up his crossbow, they all used their three-foot-diameter round shields to protect their vital parts.

The individual ballista in Liang Jun's hand made a crackling sound caused by the impact of the crossbow arm and the baffle.A crossbow spear rushed towards the Bedouin with the sound of howling through the air.These crossbow spears passed by around the shield as if they had eyes.Then shoot into the Bedouin's head or limbs and other parts that are not covered by the shield.The reason why Liang Jun shot so accurately was not only because of their dense arrows, but also because of the training of the sharp archer Dian Qing.Within fifty steps, they fired at close range with individual ballistas, which can be described as a hundred shots and a hundred hits.

On the corridors of the city wall, people were constantly being shot through their calves or arms, screaming in pain.Many Bedouins saw the doorway and simply squatted on the ground, bowed their heads and covered their bodies with shields. The lower edge of the shields was less than half a foot from the ground, and moved step by step towards the entrance of the staircase guarded by Liang Jun.

But they forgot that Liang Jun on the stairway could go up and down, and those Liang Jun carrying individual ballistas stepped back a few steps, and let the crossbows drop to a height where they could stick to the ground and shoot at the Bedouins.

A Bedouin felt that he was not far from the entrance of the stairway. He roared and was about to jump up and kill the opponent.But before the roar was over, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle, and fell to the ground unsteadily, with the shield under his body.It turned out that a crossbow gun flying close to the ground shot through his ankle.The rest of the Bedouin, crouching and marching, met his fate.

Under such intensive and precise shooting, more and more Bedouins fell on the stone bricks at the top of the city.The sound of their howling and howling became one.In the end, these Bedouins gathered at the head of the city no longer dared to approach the stairway.Liang Jun suddenly shouted in unison at this time, and when they were still in shock, they launched a reverse charge.

Some Bedouins tried to resist with their knives, but within a distance of less than three or four feet, these Liang soldiers calmly fired their wound crossbows, which penetrated the opponent's body.

You know, this kind of calmness is not something ordinary people can do.Because the individual ballistas in their hands are not modern automatic rifles.If one shot fails, the next thing is to wait for the opponent to kill.And you have to cooperate with each other, you can't let the opponent hit one by one, otherwise if you shoot one of the opponents, you will die.

A quarter of an hour later, the Bedouins at the head of the city were finally driven out of the head of the city.During the fierce battle at the top of the city, the battering ram carried by the Bedouin camel also broke into the gate.

The big log as thick as a bucket, with thick iron nails nailed to the front, slammed into the plug car.With a loud bang, the knife cart was severely deformed by the impact, and many of the blades on the door panel fell to the ground.But strangely it was not cracked.It turned out that the back of it had been half-blocked by Liang Jun's pile of sand overnight.

Chapter 926

The West Gate of Hamza City.More than a dozen Bedouins struggled to push up the giant log on the four camels again, preparing for the second blow.But he didn't find two copper pipes protruding from the back of the plug door knife car, and then two fire dragons gushed out.

The entrance of the west gate was once again engulfed in flames, and two fire dragons even rushed out of the opening, burning the clothes of some Bedouins outside.The camels screamed, but they couldn't get rid of the heavy wood they were carrying for a while, so they could only become roasted camels.

The scene that Hassan saw last night was repeated again, and several Pyromen rushed out of the doorway roaring.Angrily, he yelled, but he was puzzled in his heart. The fire last night should be caused by Liang Junjun who first piled up fire starters in the door opening.But when the gate of the west gate was burned down, Liang Jun was separated behind the saber cart. Bedouin soldiers watched from a distance day and night at the gate opening, and they were sure that the saber cart had never been opened.How could it be possible for Liang Jun to pile up inflammable objects in the door opening?

Of course, he couldn't imagine that Liang Jun used a weapon he had never seen before, such as the Greek fire cabinet.At this time, Hassan saw that the soldiers attacking the top of the city were driven down, and there were not many soldiers who came down. Those who failed to come down must have lost their lives on the top of the city.Then the battle situation in the other directions also came one after another, which was similar to that in the west.

Hassan Mao estimated that he lost three or four thousand soldiers and horses, and he only had a total of more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in the beginning.This is being disabled.He took another look at the Bedouin chiefs who were following him, all of them had livid faces and dull eyes, apparently having lost their fighting spirit.Even if he wants to continue to attack the city now, these chiefs probably won't agree.

But Hassan was still unwilling. He didn't grab anything and slaves, but was annihilated by thousands of soldiers.This is really a lot of money, and a lot of it.

He asked a confidant in a cold voice: "How much food and grass do we have, enough for a few days?"

"Report to the chief, the food and grass that I have with me are enough for five days."

Hassan gritted his teeth and said, "Then we will go deep into their hinterland, looting and burning them along the way. We will return in two days."

A chief next to him persuaded: "Hassan, it is too risky to do this. If they react and gather a large army to take back Saidaman, then we will not be able to go home. We lost some soldiers and horses, but I didn’t grab anything, and now I have suffered some losses when I go back, but it’s better than being wiped out here.”

Hassan continued: "Don't worry, we have five days of food and grass, and we will spend two days in their hinterland before returning. You have also seen that their Great Wall is almost undefended, and there is only an empty wall, so even if they regain the race Daman, blocked our escape route. We can also get out of any checkpoint on the Great Wall that is thousands of miles long."

After explaining this, he threatened again: "If you come and go voluntarily, any of you who want to go back is free to do so. But there is one thing, you have to follow our contract when you return, and those who leave halfway will have no loot points and will be handed over." Give the rest some gold and silver treasures."

Hearing this, the faces of the chiefs suddenly darkened.But it's not easy for them to refute, because this is the rule in their desert.In the end, only one chief was unwilling to take any more risks, willing to lose some gold and silver and quit the operation.The rest continued to follow Hassan.

……

In Taixifeng Palace.Feng Yu successively received the messengers sent by two Roman emperors.One is naturally Macrinus who is still in Rome, and the other is Alexander in Beirut.

Both of them asked to continue the contract with Feng Yu. In fact, Feng Yu knew that their request to continue to perform the contract was secondary. The real purpose was to allow himself to recognize their status as Roman emperors.Feng Yu thought about it several times but didn't think about how to reply them. At this moment, some soldiers entered the palace to report the urgent military situation from Hamza.

This surprised Feng Yu, he really didn't expect the Bedouins to take the initiative to plunder Mesopotamia.

He immediately sent someone to the posthouse to inform the envoys of the two Roman emperors, telling them to go back to their respective cities for the time being. He has important matters to deal with now, and he will find someone to reply to their master after a while.

After finishing these, he began to mobilize troops urgently.In just one day, he assembled all Liang Jun from Middle Earth.Apart from leaving two battalions to guard Taixifeng, they rushed all the way to Hamza with the rest of the troops.

When he approached the city of Hamza, he had already received the news that Dianqing was waiting at the city gate to welcome him.When Dian Qing saw Feng Yu, he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to go out of the city to meet him. This is because the bandit army is so powerful that I am afraid that I will attack the city again, so I dare not lead troops out of the city."

Feng Yu frowned and said: "Dianqing, it's not like you don't know my temper. What time is it, and you still say these red tapes. Stand up and talk!"

Soon, Feng Yu learned from Dian Qing's mouth that the opponent's troops were unable to capture Hamza's whereabouts.Feng Yu quickly calculated in his mind while listening.Then he said to Dianqing: "These Bedouin soldiers and horses have no luggage and can only rely on the food and grass they carry with them. But you sent messengers immediately, and the surrounding counties are ready. Even if they can break through some towns and villages , and can’t plunder much food and grass. And their mounts have to carry the plunder. So I judge that they will not stay in my territory for a long time, and they will return to their desert in two or three days at most. So we don’t have to chase Suppressing them is not worth the loss, we only need to recapture Saidaman, fill the gap in the Great Wall, and send elite scouts to follow them, and then we can deploy defenses on the Great Wall and wait for the rabbit.”

Dian Qing immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I have dispatched the most elite scout team to follow them."

"That's very good, then let's act now. I will give you three hundred elite scouts, and you will lead them and your troops to catch up, and you will continue to report the enemy's situation to me and Zilong."

After finishing speaking, Feng Yu said to Zhao Yun beside him: "Zilong, you will lead [-] soldiers and horses to take back Saidaman Fortress, and patrol along the Great Wall according to the information sent back by Dianqing in real time, intercepting the shellfish who are about to break out of the city." All because of people, kill them all without leaving a life! And I myself will take the remaining soldiers and horses to sit in this city and control the overall situation."

After everything was properly deployed, Zhao Yun led an army of seven thousand to kill Saidaman.The Bedouins there saw the mighty army approaching, they gave up the fortress before firing an arrow, and fled to the desert with a large number of captured slaves.But Liang Jun Qingqi chased after them, forcing them to abandon these slaves as well.Hundreds of civilians were rescued by Liang Jun.

……

Two days later, Hassan withdrew to the Great Wall contentedly. Although he didn't loot much gold and silver treasures, he killed a lot of people, which is considered a breath of anger in his heart.Little did he know that a catastrophe was waiting for him.

Chapter 927 Intimidation

Hassan's Bedouin cavalry only learned that the fortress had been retaken by the Liang army when it was only five or six miles away from the Saidaman fortress.The damaged city wall was also repaired by Liang Jun.

But this didn't make Hassan panic, because it was what he expected.He said calmly: "The order is to turn the whole army to the southeast, and we will find another place to go out." When he spoke, he did not find a falcon hovering in the sky.

The Bedouin cavalry turned and soon came to a tower of the Great Wall.Hassan turned his eyes to the battlements, where weeds grew.Obviously, no one comes to this place on a daily basis, and it is likely that there is no garrison at all.

With a wave of his hand, Hassan galloped away.They came to the base of the wall, got off their horses and climbed over the wall to the top of the city, and then sneaked into the hole in the tower.Soon they sent back the news, and sure enough, as Hassan expected, there was no one in the tower.But the door opening under the city tower was filled with earth and stones.

Hassan ordered: "Then here, dig a gap in the city gate." Some Bedouins jumped off their mounts, took out picks and shovels from their pouches, and started digging at the foot of the city wall.Their digging speed was very fast. In less than half a day, they dug a tunnel three feet in diameter and one battle deep.As long as they dug through the walls and pulled down the beams that supported the tunnel.The entire city wall will collapse.

At this time, there were several whizzing arrows piercing the air above the Bedouins.Several Bedouins in front of Hassan fell down in response, and he reacted quickly and instinctively jumped off the horse and hid on the side of the horse.Only then did he see that what pierced the bodies of the Bedouin soldiers was not arrows, but a four-foot-long miniature spear.He knew this thing all too well, it was shot by Liang Jun's individual ballista.

The rest of the Bedouins were already screaming in panic. "No, there are enemy soldiers on the wall, and the enemy soldiers appeared on the top of the wall!" Hassan looked up, and sure enough, there were many Liang army soldiers on the wall, Mao estimated that there were at least a few hundred soldiers.

A Bedouin chief next to him persuaded him, "Leader, the Liang army has already made preparations here, so let's withdraw as soon as possible, and find another way to return to the desert."

Hassan shook his head with a sneer and said, "No, we will protrude from here. If we change places again, our hard work for half a day will not be in vain. Besides, since the enemy can attack us from the city wall so quickly, we can change places again. They can also find the place. If we can't rush out from here today, we will be dead if we change to other places."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill!" Some Bedouin cavalry took out their scorpion crossbows and were about to throw their claws at the city wall.At this moment, the sound of neat steps came from behind them.Hassan turned his head and looked, suddenly pale with shock.Liang Jun had already surrounded his soldiers and horses from three directions.

Things have come to this, Hassan can only bite the bullet and bear it.Fortunately, he has seen that most of the opponents are infantry, and their strength is comparable to his own.If you only want to break out, the chances of success are still very high.

He took the lead and led the cavalry to rush towards the slightly weaker side of the Liang army.The opponent's total strength of about 600 people was arranged in three rows, about a mile wide and long.

Although the opponent had the "strong crossbow" made of special materials that Hassan had seen before, Hassan still believed that his cavalry could easily penetrate this line of defense.Because Hassan rushed forward were camel cavalry, the iron armor on people and camels was much thicker than ordinary armor.
