Han Xin prepared the battlefield and waited for the decisive battle to begin.

Just as Han Xin had said before, he didn't like attacking cities because the cost was too high. He preferred to lure the snake out of its hole.

The 800,000-strong army was split up and scattered around Taixifeng. It seemed like the force was dispersed, but for Han Xin this was just a larger-scale military formation.

Even if the soldiers from other directions cannot arrive in time, he can use the connection between the clouds to make those soldiers useful.

"Marquis Huaiyin is not worried about the cavalry coming from the west?" Xu Shu pointed at the Zagros Mountains and asked with some confusion.

The situation was actually very clear. Neither the Kushans nor Rome could catch up with this grand war.

So all that needs to be considered is the full power of the Persian Sassanids.

Apart from the Persian troops that had already entered Ctesiphon, the only remaining enemy was the Persian army on the west.

As a large empire founded on cavalry, it owned more than ten horse farms. Especially after Rome was forced to shrink, both the horse farms in Mesopotamia and Media were taken back by the Persian Sassanid Empire.

After confiscating all the horse farms, the Persian Sassanids had nearly 200,000 war horses.

For this reason, a group of main combat cavalry were trained within the Persian Sassanid Empire. Even the Undead King Cavalry, a variant of the Undead Guards, was fully developed and became a main combat legion.

"Although I have never met Ardashir, Zhuge Kongming said that Ardashir is a very good commander. Because he is very good, I have already arranged his choice for him!"

Han Xin pointed to several command lines around Taixifeng. Xu Shu frowned and deduced, and was horrified to find that no matter where the cavalry he mentioned appeared from, Han Xin could surround the enemy in the first time.

The Royal Guard Corps, like a city wall, will make all the cavalrymen wail. Even the heavily armored cavalrymen will not be able to break through the defense line they have formed.

Xu Shu tried to find a route through which the cavalry could cut in, but in the end he discovered that no matter where Ardashir chose to enter, no matter what flaws he saw, it would lead to the same result in the end.

That means being surrounded by heavy siege and without fast cavalry, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

After discovering this heartbreaking fact, Xu Shu simply gave up analyzing Han Xin's arrangement.

All the flaws and loopholes he saw were deliberately left by Han Xin. Once you choose this flaw as a breakthrough, he knows better than you how to command Han Xin the rest of the time.

By the time you react, you're already completely surrounded.

The focus has never been on the outermost layout, but on the deployment after the outer periphery is breached.

“The most relaxed time for a person is when he or she has achieved a certain goal. That feeling of relaxation after completing the goal is the best time!”

Seeing that Xu Shu looked dazed, Han Xin gave him a few pointers.

"Marquis Huaiyin is truly a god!" Xu Shu respectfully thanked Han Xin according to the etiquette of a disciple.

A true word is passed on, and a thousand volumes of books are falsely passed on.

What Han Xin pointed out was the secret of the strategy of attacking people's hearts, and it also illuminated Xu Shu's confused path for the future.

The subsequent arrangements were mainly based on Han Xin's arrangements.

Han Xin was not in a hurry to attack Taixifeng with all his strength, but instead divided the combat troops at hand on four sides and let them launch an attack on the city.

Fishing requires patience, but if you want to make the other person anxious, you have to pretend to do it first.

Above Taixifeng, arrows rained down and battering rams and boulders kept falling.

The combat troops were not afraid of death. Under Han Xin's command, they madly attacked the walls of Taixifeng like a flood.

Although the result of the siege was basically nine deaths and one disability, all the combat troops roared loudly and launched an attack on Taisiphon.

Corpses piled up under the siege of Taixi City, but the combat troops showed no emotional fluctuations and continued to charge forward under orders.

During these three years, the world of Heroes of Might and Magic accumulated countless cannon fodder, especially after Sun Ce and Gan Ning accidentally opened up a territory on the mainland, and the number of combat arms on land also increased.

Most combat arms that are not suitable for peacetime use are incorporated into cannon fodder, and these cannon fodder are not counted in the total number of the army.

Under Han Xin's command, these cannon fodders, together with siege weapons, continuously exerted pressure on the people in Taixifeng.

Under Han Xin's special arrangement to attack the heart, no one knew how long Taixiphon could hold out. After all, Han Xin adopted a step-by-step hint, from being unable to approach Taixiphon at the beginning to climbing up the city wall several times.

The pressure on the officers and soldiers in Ctesiphon was increasing day by day. After all, being hit on the city walls several times was already a very dangerous signal, not to mention that it was not just in one direction, but all four sides of the city walls of Ctesiphon were facing the problem of being breached.

In addition, huge crossbows were placed in an array outside the city wall. This secret technique that could strengthen the attack of naval guns made the defensive secret technique of Ctesiphon shaky.

Less than five days after the war began, even Fars Sassan and Ardashir, who had anticipated this, felt a sense of panic.

They didn't expect that their improved defensive secret technique would be so vulnerable.

In fact, it is not vulnerable. The most important thing is that Zhuge Liang had seen it once. Although it was only a brief encounter, Zhuge Liang still recorded the type and performance of Taixiphon's defensive secret technique.

It is also a type of secret technique that Huang Tianji focuses on studying, specifically studying how to crack this large-scale defensive secret technique. On the one hand, it is for her own use, and on the other hand, it is also a rehearsal for attacking Taixifeng one day.

Judging from the actual performance now, the effect is quite obvious. The defensive secret technique supported by Taixifeng is crumbling, and Han Xin even hesitated for a moment whether to change the plan and attack the city directly.

When it comes to war, the key is to win, not to follow a routine.

"We're almost at the limit!" Fars Sassan felt extremely heavy-hearted as he looked at the huge army outside the city.

Although they have formulated a plan of internal and external cooperation, it is really a big question whether they can hold on before Ardashir arrives.

The gap between the two sides is so big that any discerning person can see it.

The gap in research on esoteric arts, the gap in tactical command, and even the gap in logistical mobilization... There is no need to list all the gaps one by one, to directly conclude that the Persian Sassanids were definitely not their opponents.

Especially as time went by, this public opinion seemed to begin to spread in the city, and some people even had the idea of ​​opening the city gates to welcome the royal army.

"Report, General Ardashir's signal has been delivered!" Filled with joy, Babak rushed into the palace and reported.

"Here they come!" Fars Sassan was shocked. If he continued to defend, he would definitely die. Now was the time to give it a try.

Even if we fail, being able to break out at that time will be a way out.

Being surrounded on all sides also means that the number of opponents you need to face in each direction is sharply reduced. Generally speaking, breaking through is not a problem at all.

Of course, if you use the same force as others and they can surround you and you can't break out, it would be faster to commit suicide.

That means the gap between you two is not just a little bit.

Ardashir's movements did not escape Xinghan's surveillance. After all, the map of Persian Sassanid was basically transparent to Xinghan.

Those noble families who sneaked into the Persian Sassanid Empire may not get anything else, but they know the maps and troop deployments very clearly.

When Ardashir and his army appeared in the Zagros Mountains, the Night Owl Legion, who were lurking using the secret arts of light and shadow, had already discovered Ardashir and his men's location.

As a legion that was researched and perfected using the Ninja Legion from Japan to manipulate light and shadow, their abilities are extremely similar to those of the Fifth Skylark.

With the help of the special communicator prepared by Huang Tianji, the observed information was directly transmitted to Han Xin in real time.

That night, Han Xin did not rest, but began to confirm the situation of each legion.

"Huang Tianji contacted all the legion commanders to verify whether the legion commanders were ready for battle and to determine the status of each legion commander."

Han Xin confirmed the situation with Huang Tianji, and through simple test mobilization, he confirmed that there were no problems with the command line.

Sima Yi also used his spiritual talent to check Han Xin inside and out, and made sure that Han Xin was not affected by any spiritual talent and was in a completely normal state.

After making all the arrangements, Han Xin sat quietly on the command platform like a sculpture, waiting for the Persian Sassanid to break out.

From the strength of the defense on the city wall during the day, Han Xin could actually judge that the other side was consciously rotating to ensure the condition of the soldiers.

The other party had obviously also communicated through some secret technique and knew of Ardashir's situation. Considering their defensive secret techniques, the Persian Sassanids would definitely break through in the next few days.

However, it was his intuition that made Han Xin make the choice. His intuition told him that the Persian Sassanids would begin to break through today.

Han Xin withdrew his gaze from the light and shadow map. This thing has now been completely cracked by Xinghan and applied to the war system. Moreover, with Huang Tianji's adjustment, it would be difficult for others to crack it in a short period of time.

"Guess where they will choose to break out from!"

All sounds disappeared, and the air was filled with the feeling of impending storm. Han Xin looked at Mu Yi beside him in boredom.

"If we want to lure the tiger away from the mountain, we can only break out from the north and south gates. I bet it's the south gate!" Mu Yi looked at the map and randomly chose a direction.

"Then I'll choose the north gate..."

"Emergency intelligence: The southern gate of Ctesiphon has been opened, and the enemy general is leading the chariot corps to break out!"

"Confirmed that the enemy's main battle corps is located at the South Gate. It is confirmed that the main force of the Persian army has broken through. Request support from the South Gate!"

Just before Han Xin made a judgment, a prompt appeared on the light and shadow secret screen in front of him.

And as more information came in, it was almost 100% certain that the Persian Sassanids chose the South Gate as the target for their breakout.

"It seems that I guessed right!" Mu Yi smiled faintly, and Han Xin shook his head.

"Buzz!"

A buzzing sound swept through the entire Xinghan camp, and all the officers who were on high alert suddenly became serious.

"The stars are shining!"

Mu Yi stretched out his hand to light up the stars in the sky. The starlight suddenly burst into bright light, illuminating the entire night like day.

As the starlight illuminated the area within a radius of hundreds of miles, the speed of both Xinghan and Persian Sassan increased significantly. After all, humans are creatures that move during the day and hide at night. No matter how well they are trained, their vision at night is obviously limited.

"Eden, listen to my orders, let the Dijiang Legion be destroyed. Today, the Persian Sassanid will perish!" Han Xin looked at the Persian Sassanid in the light and shadow, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

After receiving the order, the Dijiang Legion immediately struck the drum, and then the sonorous melody was played directly on the battlefield, and a dazzling light burst out from the Dijiang Legion.

While the Persian Sassanids were in doubt, a brilliant light enveloped all the soldiers of Xinghan.

In an instant, the Xinghan army, which had been waiting in formation with the momentum of a dragon, suddenly rushed into the sky.

However, this is just the beginning, and the playing of military music is a signal.

At this moment, the cloud of 800,000 troops was unfolded by Han Xin, covering an area of ​​100 miles in radius. The sky and the ground were all suppressed by the cloud of the Xinghan army. Even those generals at the realm-breaking level were instantly suppressed to the level of super soldiers.

Because the Bingzhou Wolf Riders did not come back, Lu Bu, who had to act as Mu Yi's bodyguard, clenched his fists. In this level of cloud, he might be surrounded and killed by ordinary soldiers.

Han Xin's expression hardly changed as he mobilized his troops indifferently.

He knew that the Persian Sassanids wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so he took advantage of the situation and transferred all the soldiers except those at the north gate to the south gate of Ctesiphon.

Following Han Xin's command, the clouds continued to roll. Although they were still very far away, they were connected to each other and flowed unobstructed, as if they were gathering together.

"All counselors, take action to solidify the cloud army formation!" Han Xin immediately issued a second order.

The advisers who had been prepared long ago solidified the cloud according to Han Xin's order, and then the suppressing effect of the cloud on the army became three times stronger.

The corner of Lu Bu's mouth twitched. This level of suppression was really too exaggerated.

More importantly, Lu Bu understood that this kind of suppression would be even more severe for the Persian Sassanid side. Not to mention the military generals, even the three-talented legions and the military soul legion began to lose their meaning under this kind of suppression.

For the Persian Sassanids, the loss of the dominance of their top legions was even more of a hindrance to their breakthrough.

Of course, these are not the biggest troubles for the Persian Sassanids. The biggest trouble is Han Xin himself.

When the number of troops is less than 150,000, there are many large army commanders in the world who can briefly fight against Han Xin.

Even some people who rely on intuition, powerful generals, top-level legions, etc. can fight Han Xin on equal terms.

But when the number of troops exceeds 150,000, Han Xin's combat effectiveness will skyrocket. All those below the God of War will be killed. Unless there are any water, fire or poison schemes, other commanders and dispatchers will be beaten to death if caught by Han Xin.

You have to know that the blessing of cloud energy on soldiers can theoretically exceed the world's upper limit. Even if Han Xin has a ragtag group of soldiers, as long as there are enough people, military soul and three talents are all bullshit, he can kill them at will.
