Chapter 453 The Rebel Army

"Your Highness, Kushan's army is completely invisible." After walking for more than 50 miles, the scout came back to report.

It should be said that they were thrown away some distance before, but the opponent's cavalry was still hanging a mile or two away, and now they were completely invisible.

"We don't see the best, and we don't expect much help from them," Zhang He replied.

People who are not from my race must have different minds. Kushan said it was a joint action, but in the end there was a risk of being stabbed in the back.

Sometimes one plus one is not equal to two, and may even be less than one.

According to Zhang He's wishes, the guys behind him can just wash the floor for themselves.

It is better to say that they are worried that they have experienced war, and the soldiers have gradually become elite because of this.

"We still need them to provide us with grain, grass and food." Zhang Song reminded us.

"First give the enemy food, and then ask them to send it double. We have a lot of people, so we can just build more wheelbarrows to transport it." Zhang He is not worried about the food problem. After all, they will be able to deliver it in less than two days. Arrive at Sucia City.

Speaking of Mulu City, it was the capital of the Marchiana region of the Parthian Kingdom.

Susia City, south of Mulu City, is also an important hub city.

It extends to the Kushan Kingdom in the east, Mulu City in the north, and Nissa City in the west.

As a hub city with connections in all directions, the material reserves here are naturally very rich.

If we had gone to Mulu instead of Guishuang, we would have almost reached here five days ago.

But relatively speaking, in terms of food and water resources, there is not as much food and water here as there is in Kushan.

The main reason for going south in the first place was that the Kushan Empire could provide enough food and water.

Speaking of which... Zhang He looked at the map and found that the location where they were now seemed to be the imperial cemetery for future generations.

From BC to modern times, this place has experienced countless invasions from large and small countries, but it has remained standing.

So it's better to march faster, after all, this place looks a bit unlucky.

So for one or two days, Bo Diao's army could not see any trace of the Han army.

If there weren't traces of a large army advancing on the ground, Bo Diao would have doubted whether these Han people were deliberately playing tricks on them.

On their side, because food was being transferred to the front line one after another, it was originally intended for the Han army.

But they walked too fast and failed to keep up, so the food could only be stranded in the army, which further slowed down their speed.

"Send someone over to see where they have gone!" Bo Diao couldn't wait any longer. After all, he couldn't see any friendly troops, which made him feel uneasy.

Finally, two groups of camel riders were sent to chase Zhang He on the front line.

It was already early morning on the third day when we came back.

"King, those Han people..." The cavalry came back exhausted, unable to speak clearly.

"Tell me clearly, where are they?" Bo Diao was a little dissatisfied and ordered someone to take out a water bag.

The cavalryman took a few drinks of water before he regained his composure and said quickly: "When we met them, the Han people had already begun to attack Susia City!"

"What? We are still more than 200 miles away from there!" Bo Diao was shocked.

In other words, the other party is more than 200 miles away from me?

"Not only that, it's already the third day, I'm afraid they have captured the city of Susia!" the cavalryman said quickly.

He had already seen that the Han people were already assembling siege equipment and preparing stone bombs.

There are also a dozen oil pots, all of which are purchased from Kushan.

"What?" Bo Diao really felt that these Han people were crazy.

Marching so fast, the battle started without any rest.

He was even worried about whether the Han people could hold on. After all, Mulu City was nearby, and Anxi's army would quickly come to support them.

When the soldiers are exhausted, won't they be easily defeated?

If the victorious Parthian army comes to kill them along the way...

Bo Diao suddenly felt that he might have been tricked by the Han people.

Thanks to the Han people, otherwise Bo Diao would have suspected that this was sent by the opposite party Anxi to confuse him. "King, do we want to continue moving forward?" the noble general below asked.

"Go forward, keep going, but at a slower pace, and send people out to investigate clearly!" Biao gritted his teeth and announced.

Anyway, there are Han people in front of you, so just be careful.

It's best to lose both sides and then take advantage of it yourself.

On the other side, as the gate of Susia City collapsed, the road ahead was smooth.

However, the army cannot pass easily yet, after all, the surrounding area is still shrouded in flames.

Fortunately, there are very few wooden houses here, so there is no fear of setting the whole city on fire.

The disadvantage of using oil here is that there is too much sand here, which can be used to put out fires at any time.

If there were a hundred cans of this thing, lit and thrown into the Chinese city, the whole city would be turned into a sea of ​​fire...

"How are the enemy's reinforcements doing?" Zhang He asked. Just today, enemy cavalry suddenly came from the north to support them, and Zhao Yun and three others were sent to deal with them.

"It seems that the fighting is still going on, but it has come to an end." Yang Lang came over to report, "The information is correct. The Parthia Kingdom has indeed been decayed and declined. The local defenders are similar to Kang Ju's in battle."

Considering the larger number of people, in a sense it is not as good as Kangju.

Not surprising, during this period it can be said that Anxi was defeated by Rome seven times in and seven out, and was beaten to the point of losing its temper.

The morale of the entire country is low, the allocation of resources has ended, and the people are beginning to boil.

What is lacking is probably Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who raised their arms and shouted, "Princes, generals, ministers, Ning Ning has the kind".

"General, there is an army coming from the west... They are just here to help us." As he said this, a scout came over to report.

"Anxi's army came to help us?" Zhang He was a little curious.

"It doesn't seem like a regular army, but more like a civilian mercenary army. They said they can support us, but they just hope that we will pay a sufficient price." the scout replied.

"Your Highness, since this army is not of the same mind as An Anxi, you can use it." Jia Xu reminded.

"Let them obey our dispatch, and we will naturally give corresponding rewards according to the results after the war." Zhang He ordered.

There were about 5000 more mercenaries to help. Although there were not many cavalry, they were still able to contain the reinforcements from Mulu City.

By evening, the war was completely over. The enemy's [-]-strong army collapsed and there were more than [-] prisoners.

This guy has a lot of horses and camels. The exact number and quality need to be further screened.

Mainly, the city of Susia has been completely opened to Zhang He, and Pang De and Sun Yi have led their troops in.

According to previous habits, the next step was the massacre of the nobles.

Parthia is a slave system, so a large number of slaves will be rescued. The old ones will be given a sum of money and then let go, while the younger ones will be added to the army as auxiliary soldiers.

Most slaves are very obedient and don't care about changing their masters.

Rather, a disobedient slave would not live long.

It's ironic to say that even if you let them go, they will soon find themselves a new master.

People who are used to being slaves are not used to being the masters of their own family.

No matter what, you have to be a slave to others, so fight for yourself.

Women, mainly dancers, could further expand the song and dance troupes and enrich the entertainment life of the army.

There is also the biggest problem. There are many ordinary people who also request to join the army, as long as they are given food.

Many people are not stupid. When the new nobles come, their lives will be even more difficult, and they may even be worse than dead.

Zhang He didn't know how to deal with it yet, but the mercenaries who helped them came over.

After a deeper understanding, I realized that these were not mercenaries, but a rebel army organized by ordinary people and small families.
