Saint Qin Batu

Is it because the craftsmen in this country are extremely developed, or is their manpower sufficient?

After much deliberation, there are only two explanations in Xerxes' mind.

However, what Xerxes didn't know was that these were only the outermost cities.

And as the base camp of the Qin army facing the Parthia Empire in the future, Mulu City, the original capital of Marchiana, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Since Yingzheng woke up and wiped out the rebellion of the six countries.The leaderless Mohism was annexed by the empire.

In front of the Gongshu family and the Mohist institutions with bronze openings and wood and stone walking, these are just trivial matters.

Chapter 451 Lure the Enemy Deep

The Qin army's set of defenses was originally the classic method of Zhao Guo Li Mu's defense against the former Qin State.

But now, facing the unfamiliar Parthian army, Bai Qi did not choose to attack rashly.

When going abroad, the Qin army was fighting far away from the mainland.Food has become a heavy burden.

In the Western Regions, although Wang Jian personally guards them, the vast desert makes the transportation of grain extremely inconvenient.

The daily consumption of an army of more than 40 is an astronomical figure.Therefore, Bai Qi can only wait to solve the ration problem of more than 40 people before he can really start fighting.

Prior to this, even if Bai Qi defeated the people of the Parthian Empire, it was impossible to truly expand the results of the war.

On the other hand, Xerxes, who was shocked by Qin's strict defense and those buildings rising from the ground, was cautious.

After failing to gain any benefits in the first battle, Xerxes also directly withdrew to the territory of the ancient Maria dynasty.

At the beginning, scattered rangers came to confuse the Qin army's sight.And use this to spy on the deployment of the Qin Army's troops in Marchiana County.

During this period of time, at the risk of losing many elites, Xerxes' scout Qingqi even once detected the edge of Mulu City, the headquarters of the Qin Army.

The result of the spying also made Xerxes a little worried.

Judging from the number of defenders in various places and the situation in Mulu City, the number of Qin troops has far exceeded the number brought back by the man named Cyrus.

It is even possible that the number of the Qin army exceeded the number of their Parthia Empire.

"Things are getting more and more difficult..." Xerxes frowned, looked at the somewhat incomplete map, and thought over countermeasures.

"General, the opponent's cavalry is also very powerful. Especially their bows and arrows can shoot farther than ours. Every time we fight, our people suffer. If things go on like this, I'm afraid it will be bad for the morale of the army!"

On the side, a veteran who had followed Xerxes for decades also reported to Xerxes with some concern.

"No way, if you attack rashly, you will lose even more people!" Xerxes said with a sigh.

"However, fortunately, those cavalrymen don't seem to be interested in fighting. As long as they leave the strange building area, they will basically retreat..."

"What did you say? Go back?" Xerxes suddenly turned around, staring straight at his subordinates and asked.

"Yes, General!" Xerxes's subordinates puffed up their chests and replied affirmatively.

"Refused to attack..." Xerxes repeatedly chewed on the information provided by his subordinates, thinking back and forth.

After a long time, Xerxes suddenly raised his head and asked in a low tone: "Darius, tell me, are we thinking wrong?"

"General?"

"Judging from the news brought back by the scouts, only part of the population of this group of people remained, and most of them moved eastward. What is their purpose?"

"Plundering the population?" Darius replied somewhat uncertainly.

"Hehe, look at their people, all of them are strong and strong men, and their appearance is not even as complicated as that of the empire. How can such a country have a small population?" Xerxes shook his head with a light smile.

"Why is that?"

"We defeat the enemy in order to obtain the enemy's wealth. That's why there are so many small dynasties in the empire. And they are obviously different from us.

They want to completely turn this place into their land.That's why they rushed to build such a solid defense.When the time is right, fight us again! "

"General, what should we do?" Darius' words made the tent suddenly fall into silence.

"call!"

Xerxes breathed out lightly, and said, "Let's fight. If we don't fight, we will have no chance in the future."

"As ordered!"

Xerxes' order made Qin's side, which was still slightly on the offensive, suddenly completely on the defensive.

But this time, Xerxes seemed to no longer care about losses, and began to snatch the city.

Not surprisingly, relying on Xerxes' elite battle command and his prestige among the Parthians.The outermost cities of the Qin army began to be removed one after another.

Surprisingly, Qin Jun seemed indifferent to the loss of those peripheral cities, and chose to retreat to the second line of defense.

Such a move made Xerxes more firm in his guess.

At the same time, he also knew that with the further advance of the Anxi army, the subsequent battle would definitely develop against their side.

In Mulu City, more than half of the aborigines here have been moved to the Western Regions with the Qin army transporting grain.Most of the rest are people who are proficient in farming.

And under the pressure of the Anxi Empire's sudden full-line attack, the defeated army on the front line was immediately gathered in Mulu City for repairs.

"Commander, the Parthian army is approaching Lani City. All the armies are ready, and it's almost time to pull the net against the Parthian." Inside the big tent, Han Xin cupped his hands and said to Bai Qi.

However, as a marshal, Bai Qi, who has always shown his majesty on weekdays, now faced the 30 troops of the Parthian Empire, but he didn't care at all.

He waved his hand, and said to Han Xin casually: "You came up with this matter, how to do it, you decide for yourself!"

"Here!"

Han Xin cupped his hands heavily, his seemingly calm eyes were full of excitement that couldn't be concealed.

On the high wall, several bored Parthians were sitting on the wall, chatting.

"Let me just say, those Qin people are nothing more than a group of craftsmen. You see, after building such a high and beautiful city, in the end, they were defeated at the first blow!"

"That's because General Xerxes has a good leader! Otherwise, who would kill so hard!"

"Too……"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The thunderous sound of horseshoes sounded outside the city wall.The soldiers who were chatting first thought it was Xerxes who had returned from victory, so they couldn't help standing up, preparing for a triumphant general's demeanor.

However, what they saw was the blood-red flag and the jet-black armor.
