Hanhou

Because the Xiongnu crossed the border, plundered the military camps of border villages, and even killed the youngest son of Emperor Daxia, which aroused Daxia and Anxi's anger.

The Great Xia Emperor personally went to the front to boost morale.

The resting royal family and nobles were not to be outdone, and the emperor's uncle Dmitry got on the chariot and went to the border to command in person.

The war was about to break out, and the Parthian Emperor Phrates II felt a great opportunity, and wanted to take the opportunity to win over the nobles and seize military power.However, they acted too eagerly, seemed narrow-minded and unwise, and the five strongest nobles all chose to stand by Dmitry's side.As a result, not only did the plan fail to materialize, but the existing rights were further weakened.

With the support of the powerful nobles, Dmitry successfully replaced his nephew and led the army to fight against the Emperor Bactria.

If he can triumphantly return from the border, the powerful nobles will definitely unite with some royal families to help him seize the golden rod and crown, and support him as the Emperor of Rest.

At that point, Phrates II will soon be history.

Dmitry was aware of this.

In order to achieve victory faster, tens of thousands of troops were invested at the beginning of the war.

In the front is a chariot drawn by three horses, and in the rear is a fully armed cavalry archer, led by the loyal and skilled general Getar, to attack the Daxia army formation and go straight to the Emperor Daxia.

Seeing through Anxi's formation, Emperor Daxia ordered the soldiers to beat the drums, the heavy infantry formed a square formation, and the cavalry divided into left and right wings, ready to attack from the side when Anxi charged into the formation.

Amidst the sound of drums, the resting chariots formed a long line, and the spiked war horses snorted.The soldier in the car tightened the reins, his dark chest rose and fell rapidly, and his strong muscles bulged.

"Roar!"

There was a roar of lions in the procession, and several naked slaves wrapped their waists in iron chains, brandishing whips, and pulled more than twenty male lions out.

The soldiers on the chariot waved the reins to control the horses to get out of the way, allowing the slaves and lions to pass.

Boom, boom, boom!

The drums continued to beat, and Dmitri stood on the chariot, wearing dazzling gold armor and holding his gem-encrusted scimitar high.

"Warriors, fight for Parthia!"

Parthian soldiers brandished bows, arrows and scimitars, making deafening roars.

"Parthia!"

In the Great Xia army, Emperor Antioch VII held a spear in his hand, and his majestic voice sounded in the wind: "My warriors, fight for Great Xia and tear apart all the enemies in front of us!"

"For His Majesty the Emperor!"

General Daxia and the soldiers shouted in unison, no less powerful than their opponents.

After the drums, came the horns of desolation.

Anxi's chariots and cavalry began to move, from slow to fast, pressing towards the front of Daxia's formation.

Arrows flew in the middle, and the slave immediately let go of the chain. The tamed lion obeyed the order and rushed towards the Daxia soldiers braved the arrows.

The male lion was shot one after another, only two of them rushed to the front of the formation, and while being pierced by the spear, they threw down the round shield and tore the Daxia soldiers under their claws into pieces.

Stimulated by the blood, the Anxi soldiers continued to charge forward with a loud roar, at an increasing speed.

The male lion is not for breaking the formation, it is a sacrifice to the gods.To open the gates of death.Enemies stained with the blood of the lion will be cursed and will eventually be swallowed by hell.

"kill!"

The chariot crashed into the Daxia army formation, and in an instant, people were turned on their backs, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Before the Great Xia Army closed the line of defense, the Anxi cavalry archers roared up, opened their bows and shot arrows, and killed the Great Xia infantry holding round shields.Then he drew his scimitar and faced the Daxia cavalry supporting from both sides.

Fighting close to each other, the scimitar and spear sparked dazzlingly.

The two strongest forces in West Asia and Central Asia collided under the scorching sun, exchanging blood for blood and fighting for life.

The battle has been heated from the very beginning.

On the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.

The blood stained the sand, and the fishy and sweet smell filled the nostrils.The soldiers were red-eyed, and hatred was brewing and growing in the fighting, and it continued to grow wildly.When the blades meet, either you die or I die.

In the southeast of the battlefield, behind an undulating hill, Zhao Jia and Wei Yue wore cloaks, covered by withered grass, and observed the battle between Daxia and Anxi.

"No wonder Ah Duo misses their blacksmith." Li Danghu couldn't help being speechless when he saw several Daxia soldiers forcefully overturned a chariot with only their spears in their hands, but the spears were not damaged.

"Such smelting skills are indeed very rare." Cao Shi deeply agreed.

Han Yan didn't make a sound, and continued to stare at the battlefield without blinking her eyes.

Unlike others who focus on chariots and heavy weapons, his eyes are more focused on the rest of the horse archers.

Compared with the legion encountered by the river, these cavalry archers are obviously more elite.It is no exaggeration to say that you are a sharpshooter when you open your bow while running, and you can accurately penetrate the enemy's neck and eye sockets.

In his opinion, in order to become such an elite, in addition to the unique military training method, the bows and arrows used by the Parthians are also worth pondering.

Hearing Li Danghu and Cao Shi mention Daxia Craftsman, Zhao Jia turned to look at Wei Yue.

"Third son, what about this?"

"I told you." Wei Yue pressed the back of Zhao Jia's head, and turned his gaze back.

After Zhao Jia proposed the smelting techniques of local craftsmen, he decided to go to Daxia to collect a group of craftsmen.

If Daxia and Anxi did not go to war, or if there was a stalemate in the formation of troops, it would take a lot of trouble and careful arrangements.Now that the war has begun, the two sides are evenly matched, and it is impossible to tell the winner in the short term, so it is convenient to fish in troubled waters.

Fishing in troubled waters?

Hearing Wei Yue's low-pitched explanation, the corners of Zhao Jia's mouth moved slightly, not knowing how to react.

Look at the appearance and temperament of Mr. Wei San, and then connect with his true temperament, and interpret it seriously.Comparing horizontally and vertically, this one is the real white cut black, and it is the kind of white that never goes back.

On the battlefield, with the continuous assault of cavalry archers, the Great Xia army formation became precarious.In contrast, Anxi's battle damage was increasing at an alarming rate due to the fierce charge.

Even so, Antioch VII still didn't change his face, and Dmitri didn't blink, and continued to mobilize troops to increase the size of the battlefield.

"Keep going."

"No retreat!"

The generals on both sides were shouting loudly, and because they were too conspicuous, they soon attracted a rain of arrows.

Finally, after paying the price of nearly 3000 people, the army formation on the left wing of Daxia collapsed.Archers, like a pack of excited wolves, rushed towards the gap.The Daxia soldiers tried to block the gap, but after the attempts were fruitless, they simply gave up the defense, rushed to the enemy regardless, and quickly strangled with the opponent.

Witnessing the scene on the battlefield, Zhao Jia still couldn't help frowning, and a chill came down his spine even though he had experienced several fierce battles.

"I will never die."

"what?"

Hearing Wei Yue's voice, Zhao Jia couldn't react immediately.

Wei Yue raised her head, staring ahead with her dark eyes, she didn't explain Zhao Jia's question, but said, "I should return to China sooner."

"Why?" Li Danghu asked in surprise, "Yi Zhixie hasn't been caught yet."

Cao Shi and Han Yan also looked over, waiting for Wei Yue to explain.

"Because of this war."

"War?" Li Danghu and Cao Shi looked at each other, both a little puzzled.

What does it have to do with Anxi and Daxia fighting?

Unless it's something about the river leaking out.

However, everyone has already silenced them, and Anxi and Daxia are having a lively fight again. There is no evidence of anyone, so it may not be possible to implicate them.

"The two sides are evenly matched, and the war will not stop easily. If it continues to develop, the surrounding forces will be involved, and soon there will be great chaos, and even a war to destroy the country."

Speaking of this, Wei Yue paused, and seeing several people looking pensive, he continued: "Although Yi Zhixie escaped, the Huns have been scattered, and they fled separately. They will not be successful in at least 30 years. If you continue to chase, you may be caught up in trouble." It is really not of much benefit to enter the melee."

No matter how talented Yi Zhixie was, she was reduced to a bereaved dog at this moment.

There are no more than ten thousand warriors who follow around, and they are in an area where the two countries are at war.If you are not careful, I am afraid that the species will really be extinct.

If you break away from West Asia and continue to migrate to Europe, you will be farther and farther away from the Han Dynasty and less dangerous.

Zhao Jia recalled carefully, and suddenly remembered that Rome should be in the period of republic now, and it is already a big country that spans Asia, Africa and Europe, and dominates the Mediterranean.

During this stage, Rome's military and economic power were growing, and social contradictions became acute.Basically, just after the foreign war ended, the civil war broke out again, and the outsiders were pressed to the ground and rubbed, and when they turned around, their own people beat their brains.

Calculating the time, Caesar hadn't been born yet, and Anthony Octavian hadn't even been seen.Zhao Jia really has no idea who the Roman consul is now.

The only thing he knew was that the Roman Legion was already invincible in the Mediterranean area, and the nearby kings, nobles, and even barbarians were beaten and beaten.If the Xiongnu passed at this time and the whip of God appeared in advance, it is impossible to say how history will develop.

"Hodor?"

Noticing that Zhao Jia started to lose his mind again, Wei Yue had no choice but to press his shoulders and remind him, "It's getting late, it's time to go."

The battle between Anxi and Daxia will not stop for a while, and there is no time for him to care about it for the time being.

To be on the safe side, they shouldn't stay long either.

Anyway, I have already seen what I need to read, and basically understand what I need to know, and I can make a book after going back and summarizing it.Now that you have decided to withdraw your troops, it is best to act quickly and evacuate the land that is about to be burned by the flames of war before the war situation expands.

Allow enough time to go to the border of Daxia, and then go to Dawan Wusun to say hello. By the way, according to Zhao Jia's previous idea, there will be an armed parade in the Western Regions to show the big man's broad mind and kindness to all nations. .

When it came to the armed parade, Zhao Jia talked eloquently, Wei Yue nodded with a smile, Han Yan, Cao Shi and Li Danghu also thought it was very feasible.

Gongsun Ao took the rein, poked Zhao Xin with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "I think shock is more powerful, why should you give those people a good face. Ah Xin, are you right?"

"Ao, read more when you get back." Zhao Xin sighed and pushed Gongsun Ao's arm away.

"what?"

"That's right, Ao, read more." Zhao Puonu bit a piece of dead grass, tightened the high saddle on the horse's back, and didn't turn his head when he spoke.

Gongsun Ao felt even more puzzled, turned directly to Wei Qing, and said, "Ah Qing, what do they mean?"

Wei Qing swallowed the clear water in his mouth, tightened the water bag, and said with a smile: "When you go back, read more books, especially the art of war and history books, and you will understand soon." After saying that, he hung up the water bag, jumped on the horseback, and Zhao Xinzhao The Po Nus each went down to deliver orders and prepare to set off with the army.

Gongsun Ao stood where he was, with his head full of question marks, looking more and more chaotic in the wind.

According to Zhao Jia's words, among the four people, three of them are white and black, with such different styles of painting, it is a miracle that they can still be friends and have a deep friendship.
