Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 491: The battle determines the outcome, and the nations are in a state of excitement [asking for votes]

The sun outside the window is very warm.

Shel Turi swayed and nearly fell to the ground.

Bhutto, who was in charge, quickly thought of the upcoming consequences of Armenia's defeat.

The palpitations in his heart became more and more intense with the ups and downs of his thoughts.

At this moment, among the three commanders of the coalition forces, one was shocked, and the other was also shocked.

The last one left was hit on the head with a black stick, and he still hasn't recovered.

On the contrary, the soldier who sent the message thought the least and was the first to kneel down: "The message sent by the royal capital tells us to return assistance immediately, otherwise we, Armenia, will be destroyed."

Shel Turi shivered, stood up suddenly, and said:

"Armenia has encountered a catastrophe and the situation is critical. I must immediately send troops back to help."

The palace was destroyed, and the life and death of the king was unknown. At this time, sending troops back to aid was the most important thing, and there was no delay.

Bhutto's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Sher Turi walked out of the tent: "Order my Armenian ministries to retreat and return to the country. If the lord is unlucky, we will fight to the death with the Han army!"

Inside the tent, Bhutto sat down slowly.

The attack on Armenia has had its first impact on the entire war situation.

The war is approaching, and one side withdraws its troops and returns home.

This has a huge impact on the morale and actual combat effectiveness of the coalition forces.

"Let's shrink the line of defense and stick to it."

Bhutto looked at Lore: "The commander of the Han army used his troops like a god... He attacked Armenia first, did you ever think of it?"

Lore shook his head subconsciously: "I...no."

"If you continue to attack, you may fall into the opponent's scheme."

At this moment, Bhutto felt an unprecedented emotion, which was fear, fear of the young Han commander.

It was an emotion he had never felt before.

Still immersed in the power of the stick, Lol nodded slightly, agreeing to Bhutto's proposal.

"We need to figure out the main attack direction of the Han army as soon as possible. Is it necessary for the army to be dragged here?" It was Afti who spoke.

Her long golden hair was shining brightly against the sunlight outside the window.

She was also shocked when she first heard the news, but after thinking about it, she accepted it calmly. People who can whip themselves are really extraordinary.

Lore's eyes turned slightly, and landed on the map, looking at the camp of the Han army in Nordjali City on the map, and then at Armenia: "How did he march to attack Armenia..."

He added: "The battle has just begun, so it doesn't matter even if Armenia withdraws.

Our two sides are in harmony, and our military strength is still far superior to that of the Han army.It must be fought, it must be won. "

The last sentence is a military proverb left by Alexander to motivate the troops of the year to fight.

Bhutto said in a deep voice: "The other party will attack Armenia first, and there must be other means to cooperate..."

At this time, the war horses were neighing outside, and the people were running. It was the Armenians who were gathering quickly.

They didn't even have time to wait for the entire army of 4 people to arrive before leaving, because they were afraid that it would be too late.

Shel Turi led the [-] troops in the city to set off first.

The soldiers and horses scattered throughout the defense lines in Parthia will follow up one after another.

At the same time, the Parthian capital was Ctesiphon.

The lord Mithridates received the news of the attack on Armenia one step earlier than the frontline army.

He also unfolded a map and sat there, motionless.

When he raised his head, the attendants beside him were shocked to find that Mithridates II's clothes were stained with blood.

He coughed up blood.

The destruction of Armenia will bring a series of serious consequences.

For Parthia, the situation is going in the worst direction, and there is no way to recover.

"His Majesty."

A minister came in from outside the palace and reported: "Armenia has withdrawn its troops."

Mithridates waved his hand: "Tell Bhutto to defend with all his strength and stop thinking about counterattack to regain the lost land."

As soon as this order came out, it almost meant that Parthia had given up its plan for a comprehensive counteroffensive.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Armenian army withdrew from the city of Apameia and marched northwestward at full speed to return home.

West of Parthia, Seleucid Kingdom.

The capital, Antioch.

Inside an official post, Zhang Qian with a full beard looked excited and his eyes sparkled.

He had just experienced an assassination, was protected by embroidered clothes, and suffered some minor injuries, and was informed by Huo Qubing through the concentric lotus leaf that Armenia was defeated and the coalition forces were defeated.

This news made Zhang Qian overjoyed.

The Seleucid royal family has been taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the current situation.

They have old grievances with Parthia, and they are full of hatred for the country that split up Seleu, and they are unwilling to join the coalition.

But on the other hand, he knew that the Han army was marching westward and captured Parthia, and he would face the Han army, so he hesitated.

Zhang Qian came to be an envoy, and asked twice to see the Lord of Seleu, but did not get a response.

The other party only sent a minister, and his attitude was quite unfriendly, ridiculing the eastern army as an aggressor.

But at this moment, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes overnight.

Zhang Qian laughed loudly.

With this kind of change, he is not in a hurry to see the Lord of Seleu, just wait, when the news comes, the Lord of Seleu will send someone to invite him.

Feng Shui rotation, really fragrant.

Zhang Qian recalled what Huo Qubing said before his mission: "Weak countries have no diplomatic relations, while diplomatic relations between strong countries are the export of ideas, maximizing their own power, making demands, and getting others to comply."

Huo Qubing asked him to wait in Seliu, and he didn't have to rush to act. He would send troops to provide the strongest support for his mission.

Sure enough, this support... is so awesome.

How the situation will change next, Zhang Qian is full of anticipation.

In the days that followed, news spread rapidly.

Without any preparation, Armenia was raided into the capital and entered the palace. The surrounding countries were shocked.

At this moment, Armenia seems to be the center of the storm.

Within the country, the Han army was indeed raising troops everywhere, tearing apart Armenia's defense lines.

Although the ruler of Armenia is under control, how to exert the effect is the next step and will not affect the current combat plan.

The disarmament of Armenia and the lack of spare power to support Parthia were the combat goals formulated from the very beginning.

Huo Qubing didn't think that everything would be fine if he controlled his country's lord, and destroying all his soldiers, horses and military equipment was the real way to completely control the situation, and there was no possibility of repetition.

So not only to fight Armenia, but also to the death.

At the same time, as Armenia transferred troops back to aid, Parthia's defense was also forced to make adjustments.

You must know that less than a thousand miles south from the edge of the Armenian border is Ctesiphon, the capital of the Parthian state.

The fall of Armenia means that Parthia may be threatened by the Han army that attacked Armenia going south at any time.

Therefore, Parthia should adjust its defense with the capital as the core.

In addition, there was a Han army that also launched an offensive against Parthia from the Caspian Sea to the south.

That was the Han army led by Yao Zhao and Hao Qisheng, who had killed them from the Caspian Sea.

The main force of the Han army, under the leadership of Zhang Cigong, advanced westward from Nordjali, and set up a camp [-] miles away from the city of Apameia where the coalition forces were stationed, showing a full-scale attack on the city.

The coalition forces could not shrink back and dared not go out to fight.

At the rear of the Han army, King Hunxie commanded eight thousand troops and was slowly advancing, preparing to attack Parthia across the board.

The defensive lines of Apameia and Baishi City, which Bhutto and Lol were defending firmly, were even bypassed by the Han army, and they went directly into Parthia and launched an offensive.

At this moment, Hanzheng's army was pressing down on the border, and they were ready to help each other at any time, so they dared to go deep without fearing that Bhutto and Bhutto would suddenly leave the city and cut off their retreat.

Apameia, morning.

Lore came to see Bhutto with sonorous steps.

He had never fought such a frustrating battle before, shrinking all fronts, watching in vain the Han army showing off its power outside the city, and actually dared to cross their defense line and penetrate deep into Parthia.

Being so underestimated made Lore furious.

"Commander Bhutto, the Han army has made it clear that it is pressing forward step by step and testing step by step.

We must actively counterattack, otherwise we will become more and more passive, completely suppressed by the Han army, and have no morale at all. "

Lore walked into the hall and said to Bhutto.

He has recovered from the previous sap.

It was Armenia that was hurt, not Macedonia.

The general of the Han army could control the battlefield with his hands.Talor is not necessarily bad either. Victory and defeat can only be known after encountering each other. There is no reason that cannot be grasped.

In the hall, Bhutto frowned and said, "Come and take a look."

Lore got closer and saw that Bhutto had marked a lot on the marching map.

Among them, four positions are marked with red marks: "These four positions are the positions where the Han army attacked Parthia?"

"Yes."

Bhutto said: "I just received news that Sher Turi has brought people back to Armenia.

The soldiers and horses of the Han army that entered Armenia have not yet withdrawn.

After Armenia joined the coalition forces, there were no more than 2 people left behind in the mainland. They had to disperse and deploy defenses throughout the country. They were attacked by the Han army, and the defense lines were all destroyed and torn apart. "

"The Han army has completed its combat objectives in Armenia and still refuses to leave. It is very likely that they have plans to occupy the city and station themselves in Armenia.

In the future, they may go south from Armenia and threaten Parthia.

I suspect that after Huo Qubing, the coach of the Han army, personally led the troops into Armenia, he himself had withdrawn and returned to the city of Nordjari, the Han army camp, which was just opposite us. "

"So you choose to stick to it, because you judge that the Han army will continue to attack westward from here?" Luo Er said.

Bhutto nodded: "The morale of the Han army has soared, and it is definitely not a good opportunity for us to choose to fight against them at this time.

Once the city of Apameia falls, the front of the Han army will point directly at Tessiphon. "

"What about the rest?" Lore pointed to the map.

"One of these two places is south of the Caspian Sea. The Han army has also opened up a battlefield here to maintain a threat to us. In recent days, the Han army has taken the northern line to bypass our defense zone and increased its strength to the area south of the Caspian Sea. There seems to be a tendency for the Caspian Sea to go south as the main direction of attack.

There is also Baishi City, where the Han army also resumed its offensive. "

Luo Er narrowed his eyes slightly:

"You just said that the city of Apameia is the main attack direction of the opponent. Why do you think that the south of the Caspian Sea may also be the main attack route?"

Bhutto: "It is precisely because of uncertainty that we cannot easily send troops to fight the Han army..."

Lol took a deep breath: "Let me come, you should be very clear about the power of my Macedonian battle formation on the plains. The surrounding terrain is very suitable for formation confrontation, and I will surely lead the army to defeat these eastern invaders !"

"How are you going to fight?"

"Go out of the city to meet the enemy. As long as the Han army dares to come, I will lead my troops to fight with all my strength and defeat them in one battle."

Luo Er said viciously: "You can stay in the city to defend, you can respond to our army, and you can also take the opportunity to observe the reality of the Han army."

In the early morning of the next day, the east gate of Apameia was opened, and the Macedonian soldiers marched out.

Butuo was at the top of the city, watching Luo Er ride on a tall brown horse and take the lead out of the city.

Behind him, the Macedonian soldiers were wearing armor and holding sharp spears pointed forward.

First came the infantry phalanx, followed by light cavalry and then heavy cavalry.

When the Macedonian phalanx lined up outside the city.

Lore personally commanded the troops and prepared them for battle.

The sun is rising.

According to the usual practice, the Han army will come to call for battle in the morning recently.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and at the end of the line of sight in the distance, the Han army came.

At the top of the city, Bhutto saw from a distance in front of the formation of the Han army, an extremely strong horse, and a figure in silver armor and red robes appearing, and suddenly felt a strong sense of palpitation.

His judgment was correct. The champion of the Han army, after fighting Armenia, returned to the base camp, personally commanded the battle, and killed him.

The Han army is going to attack us at Apameyah... Bhutto thought to himself.

Here he is... At the head of the city, Afti was also looking at the figure on horseback.

On the opposite side, Huo Qubing raised his whip, pointed at the city ahead, and said to Zhang Cigong, King Hunxie and others: "If Apameia is defeated, Parthia will be close to being destroyed.

Beat the drums, break the city first, then the country! "
