Three Kingdoms: Unlimited Premium Gift Pack

"Okay." Purinna sat down by herself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Murong Yanran also sat down.

Liu Yan cut to the chase and said straight to the point: "I heard from Yan Ran that you Sarmatians are not prepared to choose a side in this world war. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Your Majesty can understand it in this way." Purinna said confidently: "The rulers of Rome and the great Han are called emperors, and they all call the blessings of the gods to be the true lords of the universe, and they also ask us Sarmatians to participate in the war and be loyal.

We Sarmatians have little knowledge, and we can only offer our loyalty to the final victor of this war. "

"Really?"

Liu Yan shook his head slightly, and said: "However, in my opinion, within the past three years, you Sarmatians have allowed me, a big man, to spread the Destiny Teaching in the clan.

The Bodhisattva Sect is allowed to spread Buddhaism within the clan, and the Great Brightness Sect is allowed to spread within the clan.

Within three years, you Sarmatites took advantage of the disputes between the three parties to accept the benefits of the three parties, and civilization developed rapidly. Now, you can even manufacture armor and be self-sufficient in iron... This is not like waiting for your true destiny in peace The appearance of the Lord! "

Purinna didn't show any panic on her face, and asked instead: "Then what does Your Majesty think, we Sarmatians want to do?"

"Of course, with the idea of ​​fighting between snipe and clam for the fisherman's gain. I plan to wait for Rome and the great Han to take advantage of the situation to rise." Liu Yan sneered: "You barbarians are not wild, and your combat power is not inferior to any elite in the world. When it comes to fighting minds, it’s not worthy to lift shoes for civilized people.”

"Since that's the case... why do the Dahan, Rome, and Daguangjiao support my Sarmatians at all?"

"Let's talk about Rome and the Great Guangming Sect first." Liu Yan said: "Actually, don't look at how fiercely they shout, in fact, in their hearts, they have already replaced themselves as the weak side.

If the final result of this battle is that my big man won a disastrous victory, then it is necessary, you Sarmatians, to avenge them.In other words, from the perspective of Rome and the Western barbarians, it is better to die at the hands of the Sarmatians than to die at the hands of my big man. "

"Then what if Rome and the Western barbarians won miserably? Didn't they just create a strong enemy for themselves?"

Liu Yan said disdainfully: "In the eyes of Rome and the Western barbarians, it is quite good for them to be able to hold a stalemate with my big man and hold some land. The possibility of defeating my big man is simply negligible."

"Your Majesty is really confident!" Purinna said: "Okay, let's not talk about Rome and the Western barbarians, let's talk about the big man. What is Your Majesty's purpose in helping us Sarmatians?"

"That little thing for you Sarmatians... I... don't care!"

"not give a damn about?"

"Yes, I really don't care." Liu Yan said: "Compared with the influence on you Sarmatians, the idea that I, a big man, gave you Sarmatians support is completely worthless in my eyes!

I believe that the beginning and ending of this world war will be completely beyond your expectations.

I believe even more that when that time comes, you Sarmatians will make the right choice and bow your noble heads to the big man. "

"Your Majesty's self-confidence is beyond Anna's expectations! Since that's the case, Your Majesty doesn't mind. Anna is in His Majesty's army and observes the combat power of the Han army for a few days? For example, let Anna see how the big man broke through the hot springs. off?"

"That's the reason for Princess Anna's visit, right?" Liu Yan nodded slightly, and said seriously: "Welcome to watch the battle! I believe that the combat power of our Han army will not disappoint Princess Anna!"

Chapter 544 Hot Spring Pass, the First Pass in the West

Plinana, of course, has a reason for coming to the Han army to watch how the Han broke the Hot Spring Pass.

Because, in a sense, the Battle of Hot Spring Pass is a pass that best demonstrates the combat power of the Han army.

If it is said that Hulao Pass is the first pass of the Han Dynasty.From the history of China, Shanhaiguan is the "first pass in China".Then, Hot Spring Pass is the number one pass in the western world.

Thermopylae Pass is located on the coast of the Aegean Sea in the eastern part of Greece. It is named after the local hot sulfur springs.

This pass has always been the first and strongest barrier in the Western civilized world, resisting the intrusion of the northern barbarians and preventing the Eastern civilized world from attacking the Western civilized world.

If nothing else, just say 700 years ago.

Xerxes I, King of Persia, led an army of 20 on an expedition to Greece.Because of the "Olympic" games to be held, most of the Greek League's people went to participate in the games, so they could only send 6000 Spartan warriors and more than [-] servants to the Thermopylae Pass for defense.

As a result, the two sides fought for two days, the Persian army paid the casualties of [-] elite troops, and the Spartan warriors suffered only a handful of losses.

On the third day, due to the betrayal of the traitors, Xerxes I sent people to take a detour and go around to the back of Thermopylae Pass, and won the battle.

It is conceivable that Xerxes I would have to pay a huge price to break through this pass without the betrayal of the traitor!

Not only that, although the Battle of Thermopylae was defeated, it greatly boosted the morale of the Greek League and bought time.

In the end, this great war between the East and the West ended with the victory of the Greek League, which changed the direction of human history. It is no exaggeration to say that the Battle of Thermopylae has great strategic and historical significance.

In the following thousands of years, the legend of the three hundred warriors of Sparta at Thermopylae has been eulogized in the world.There are endless movies and TV shows about this matter.

Moreover, the battles that took place at Hot Spring Pass in history were far more than just this one.

500 years ago, after the death of Alexander the Great of Macedonia, the most powerful figure in the western civilized world, Athens, which was hostile to Macedonia, united with the central city-states to launch the anti-Macedonian war.At Hot Spring Pass, the Macedonian army that came back to aid was abruptly assembled!

300 years ago, the army from Seleucus, a powerful country in the east, invaded the western civilized world when King Antiochus III invaded the western civilized world, and fell into the sand at Hot Spring Pass. A crisis in the western civilized world disappeared invisible!

With such a record, Hot Spring Pass deserves the title of the first pass in the western world!

……

The next day, dawn.

"What a majestic pass! Facing such a majestic pass back then, Xerxes I lost tens of thousands of elites in battle every day... It is indeed not wronged!"

The unruly Sarmatian little princess Prinna felt a toothache after seeing Thermopylae with her own eyes.

On the left is a steep cliff, on the right is the deep sea, and the path in the middle is the coverage of Hot Spring Pass.

The narrowest part of this path can only accommodate one car!

This road is about [-] steps deep, before you can see a huge stone fortress towering up, completely blocking the passage.

Above the castle, you can see the heavy infantry in iron armor, standing proudly, ready to deal with the attack outside the pass.

What do you mean when one husband guards the gate and ten thousand husbands don't open it?

This is called one husband guarding the gate, and ten thousand husbands should not open it!

What?Do you use catapults, bed crossbows and other siege equipment?

How to put it?

——Where to put it——

Regardless of the Xiangyang Cannon or the Three-Bow Bed Crossbow, they are all for covering shooting. The number is too small, and it doesn't make much sense at all!

To break through such a fortified city, it seems that there is no other possibility except using human lives!

"It is said that Wenquan Pass is eight miles long, and there are three pass cities: Xiguan, Zhongguan and Dongguan. Xiguan and Dongguan are located at the two ends of Wenquanguan. The narrowest part can only allow one car to pass through.

Zhongguan is located in the hinterland of Wenquanguan, the terrain is relatively open, and a large number of soldiers and horses can be stationed.What we see before our eyes is the East Gate of Hot Spring Pass. "

Pulin Anna took the initiative to say to Liu Yan, "So, this East Pass is not only extremely difficult to attack, but also very easy to get supplements from Zhongguan. Another way."

It must be explained that although Plinna did not want to surrender to the big man, she never wanted the big man to suffer too much setback when he was in Hot Spring Pass.

Otherwise, Rome and the western barbarians will have to deal with the Sarmatians who are sitting on the wall.

Therefore, she was really sincere about Liu Yan's suggestion.

"Other ways?" Liu Yan shook his head slightly, and said, "Of course I know that there is a small road that can bypass this pass. However, this small road is much more difficult than Wenquan Pass. If the enemy is prepared, It's just death in vain."

Prinna said with a wry smile: "The Romans are familiar with the three battles that took place at Thermopylae, so they must have taken precautions on that small road. This method will definitely not work.

Then... then there is only one way left, to use the strength of the Han Navy to attack Maris Bay, attack from both sides, and break through the Hot Spring Pass. "

Liu Yan still shook his head and said: "It is true that our Han army is strong, and it is true that we are not afraid of any enemy. However, the Maris Bay is densely covered with rocks and the current is fast, which is beyond human power.

Let's just say that after so many battles, Thermopylae's weakness has long been known.There is no shortcut to break through this barrier. "

Purinna anxiously said: "Your Majesty, you mean to storm the Hot Spring Pass, right? That's right, three years ago, during the Battle of Persis, the Han army's step clan faced the interception of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations. Courage, force opened a way.

However, this Hot Spring Pass is different!This time the terrain is too narrow, and there are only a few dozen people in the frontal battle.

It is more about personal bravery than the organizational ability of both sides. The Han army may not be able to take advantage of it.

Moreover, the defenders of Hot Spring Pass are now armed to the teeth, and they are much more difficult than the heavy infantry of Sparta 700 years ago! "

Liu Yan said confidently: "However, in the past 700 years, human offensive methods have also made great progress!"

"Siege means?" Purinna said disapprovingly: "Large siege equipment can't be used here. I don't think there is any way to get to Hot Spring Pass."

"Why? Little Princess Anna doesn't believe it?" Liu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Then let's wait and see! Let's see, how can our Condor Shooting Army easily break through the Hot Spring Pass?"

Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go! My... Condor Shooting Army!"

"According to the order!"

Following the order of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the [-] Condor Shooting Army specially prepared by the Han Dynasty to conquer Wenquan Pass was officially dispatched!

Chapter 545 Pulley Bow, Condor Shooting Army

What is the Condor Shooting Army?

On the grasslands in the north of ancient China, the warriors with the most superb archery skills could shoot down golden eagles flying in the sky. Such people were called eagle shooters on the grasslands.The number of eagle archers on the grassland is extremely rare, their status is extremely high, and they are extremely respected!

From the 8000 miles of land under his rule and the [-] million people, Liu Yan selected a thousand warriors with excellent archery skills to form the Condor Shooting Army.Every soldier in the Condor Shooting Army is equivalent to a Condor Shooter on the grassland.

The command of the Condor Shooting Army is not easy.

Orthodox leader Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng, deputy commanders Tai Shici and Ma Zhong!

How awesome are the archery skills of these three commanders?

Huang Zhong is famous all over the world for his skill of piercing Yang with a hundred steps.According to historical records, Huang Zhong shot Guan Yu's red tassel with an arrow in the Battle of Changsha!

Tai Shici was not simple either. According to historical records, a horse shot dead dozens of remnants of the Yellow Turbans with a single bow, and rushed out of the siege of Beihai.

After returning to Sun Ce, he once nailed the hand of a school lieutenant to the beam of the tower with one arrow.The skill of divine archery is evident!

Ma Zhong is not well-known in later generations, but, according to historical records, he shot and killed Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, two first-class generals, and he can be called the number one sniper of the Three Kingdoms!

It can be seen from this that the archery skills of this Condor Shooting Army are amazing.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expect to conquer Thermopylae Pass solely by archery.

How could Xerxes I, who attacked Thermopylae at the beginning, have fewer men who were good at shooting under his command?However, ordinary bows and arrows have no effect on these heavy infantry.

Now the armor of these heavy infantry has made great progress compared with 700 years ago. It is armed to the teeth, and ordinary bows and arrows are simply tickling these heavy infantry.

The real killer of the Condor Shooting Army is the bow in their hands!

A pulley compound bow made of special materials!

How awesome is this bow?

The answer will be announced soon!

……

'Is this the vanguard of the Han army... come on!Today, I, Isaac, will let your blood be shed before Thermopylae Pass!

In the future, I will let the 200 million Han troops bleed dry at my Hot Spring Pass!I, Isaac, will become the hero of the entire western civilized world, become famous all over the world, and be sung throughout the ages! "

Isaac, the governor of the Roman Macedonian province, stood on the Eastern Pass, looked at the Condor Archers walking towards the pass step by step, licked his lips, and showed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.

Isaac certainly has reason to be so confident.

Because, in his hands, he holds the most elite troops in all of Greece!

What is this concept?

In the Western civilized world, there are actually two centers of civilization—Rome and Greece.

As the saying goes, glory belongs to Greece, and greatness belongs to Rome!

If Greece was not just a geographical concept and there were many states, it would be hard to say whether Rome could occupy the Greek region.

Here is the kingdom of Macedonia, the great kingdom from which Alexander the Great was born.

Relying on the Macedonian cavalry as the main force, Alexander the Great established the first worldwide empire in history!

Here is the kingdom of Sparta.Yes, it was the Spartans who guarded Thermopylae with three hundred Spartan heavy infantry back then!

Here is the Kingdom of Athens, the great country where Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and other sages were born!

The Kingdom of Athens once defeated the [-] Persian army head-on on the Marathon Plain with [-] heavy infantry!

Here is the Kingdom of Thebes. Their Holy Legion only loves comrades-in-arms and does not love women. It once forcibly defeated the Spartan Legion.

It can be said that these four great countries are all likely to sweep the Western civilized world and compete with Rome.

It's just that, in the end, it was the unified Rome that defeated the divided Greek Union and annexed these states one by one.

Two years ago, in order to resist the powerful Han army, the Romans and Greeks made a compromise—as long as they can defeat the Han army, the countries of the Greek Union can restore their countries.

Ever since, the Spartans, the Athenians, the Macedonians...all had their own new kings.Ever since, a brave Greek army was formed.

Now, in Guangwen Pass, there are [-] Spartan heavy infantry, [-] Athenian heavy infantry, [-] Thebes heavy infantry, and [-] Macedonian cavalry.Plus [-] Roman troops.
