Chapter 708 Take down Hatra (two in one)

"Maybe not!"

The person being questioned didn't know too well, but it seemed that he really didn't ask.

Because it was really ignored by the news.

And they all subconsciously thought that it was him who came back.

After all, the clothes and equipment are all local, which is very different from the Roman characteristics with obvious signs.

"No, you bastard!" Caliph was taken aback for a moment, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly became stronger. Seeing that the city gate was half opened, he drew his sword and rushed forward, drinking while rushing:

"Close the door, close the door immediately..."

The caliph's voice immediately dilutes the excitement and joy in the city above and below.

All the resting soldiers were stunned for a moment.

Close the city gate?
Why close the city gate? Our people came back with a big victory and captured Alexander Qin alive, so we want to close the city gate.

But the next moment they understood why.

Because Xu Ding heard the caliph's order, and also rushed forward eagerly, and also shouted: "Do it!"

With just two words, the more than 1000 cavalry generals outside the city immediately grasped their weapons.

The archer who raised the bow and shot the arrow, and the one who held the sword followed Xu Ding to the gate of the city.

The ropes on Xu Ding's body were all slipknots, and they were not tied to death at all, so when Xu Ding rushed over, the ropes on his body were all loose. He reversed the noose, and with a flick of the rope, he hit the Anxi soldiers who were in a hurry to close the city gate. After a few quick steps, he rushed in.

"Oh!"

With a punch, the body of an Anxi soldier slashed with a knife slammed into the mottled wall like a cannonball.

Then one swept the legs, and the rest were also taken care of.

Then Xu Ding pushed the other door hard, and the two city gates opened wide.

The riders outside urged their horses to charge in, leaped over Xu Ding and rushed into the city.

At this time, the caliph rushed to the side with his sword in hand to hide, and stabbed out with a sword, and a cavalryman of the rebel army was stabbed off his horse.

However, the caliph was also uncomfortable, because several horsemen behind him stabbed him with long spears and long swords.

Although he swung his sword to block it, he was pushed aside and was almost knocked over by the horse.

The Caliph could not stop the cavalry of the rebel army, and neither could his subordinates. Although the rest of the soldiers who charged were all elites, they still did not dare to face the cavalry rushing forward, so they could only dodge to the side. If you shoot, you can shoot, if you can't shoot, you can only dodge.

All the riders rushed in, and the resting soldiers on the street were either knocked into the air or hacked to death. Xu Ding quickly jumped on his horse and followed behind.

Suddenly a figure came across the sky, Xu Ding swung his sword to block it, and there was a clang.

The man jumped onto the female wall, Xu Ding looked over there, wasn't he the enemy general who saw through the deceitful plan just now?
In an instant Xu Ding knew that this was a big fish and an unusual general, so he urged his horse to charge towards the female wall.

At this time, the Anxi soldiers rushed down from above to support, Xu Ding stabbed and slashed with his sword, killed all the Anxi soldiers who rushed, and directly chased the Caliph to the city wall.

At this time, countless resting soldiers fell on the wall, all of whom were wounded or killed by arrows.

The caliph held the sword, wiped the blood slightly overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and licked his lips. He was the first person to hurt him and bleed since he was a child.

Of course, with that blow just now, he knew from experience that Xu Ding was a strong and powerful operator.

The strength is definitely greater than oneself.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to blow himself away, and it would be impossible to avoid the sword just now.

So he couldn't take a hit and ran up to the top of the wall, and it turned out that he guessed right, if he was a step slower just now, the head would have fallen to the ground.

Xu Ding jumped off the horse, threw away the sword he picked up, and took the long spear on the horse.

Western swords are not suitable for him, and it is not easy to play with them.

It is still more enjoyable to use a long gun, which integrates offense and defense, can be fast or slow, can be stretched and retracted, and can be used in any way.

As soon as he flattered his ass, the horse was so psychic that he turned his head and fell off the parapet.

It seems to be saying brother, I will wait for you below, don't delay too long.

Caliph and others did not act rashly, waiting for the horses to go down the city wall.

The horse's hooves stepped out, and each foot seemed to ring an alarm bell, which made the rest of the soldiers feel nervous and uneasy.

The brave and invincible Alexander Qin, how can we fight this.

Can you beat him?

There were Anxi soldiers on both sides of the city, but they didn't rush forward. They stared at Xu Ding with their weapons in their hands, paying attention to any small movements of him.

"Kill!" Caliph suddenly shouted.

The resting soldiers, who were stalemate, finally got the horn to attack, and reflexively rushed towards Xu Ding.

Xu Ding stabbed with the spear, as fast as a black dragon, and stabbed the neck of each Anxi soldier instantly, then raised, turned around and gave another heavy blow, knocking an Anxi soldier behind him who was slashing with a knife to his knees.

The soldier's shoulder bones were smashed, and he howled in pain. Xu Ding kicked him out, and his body flew upside down and hit other resting soldiers.

Then several swords were stabbed and slashed over here, Xu Ding returned the spear to block it, and then swept it away.

Immediately, several Anxi soldiers poured out a tube of blood, which stained Xu Ding's body with many blood spots.

"break!"

Xu Ding took advantage of the situation and went straight in. With a quick flick of the gun, the gun flower swayed left and right. The Anxi soldiers who stood in front were shot, stabbed and picked, and fell towards the walls on both sides.

The caliph's eyes bulged when he saw it, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He slashed with his sword, aiming at Xu Ding's forehead.

But Xu Ding turned around after closing his gun, he was like a ghost, and as fast as lightning, he was behind Caliph in a flash.

As soon as the spear was fired, the caliph's arm holding the sword suffered pain, and his whole body turned into a look of pain in astonishment.

Then the long sword fell to the ground and made a clang.

Khalifa wanted to fight back sideways, but Xu Ding lightly drew his gun and patted him on the neck.

"Don't move, move or die!"

Although Xu Ding spoke the official language of Rome, the caliph still stopped his body movements.

Because he can understand Roman, and he knows that he is moving, and the other party will really kill.

"Since you can understand what I said, it seems that you can speak Roman, tell me your identity, don't try to hide it, your identity is too low to die!"

The caliph's heart trembled, who is this person, he can't talk about his identity in a low level.

The Caliph had reason to believe that as long as he said that he was just an ordinary nobleman, the other party would kill him without hesitation.

After all, a worthless person is not even qualified to be a prisoner.

Exhaling a breath, looking at Xu Ding with a weapon in his hand, but with fearful expressions, the Caliph knew that this time he was really dead.

The city of Hatra, which never fell, was captured by a group of rebels.

And the opponent only has more than 1000 rides.

"I am the caliph of Khatrali. My status is the most noble here, and my power is the greatest here. I don't know if this is enough for His Excellency Alexander Qin."

In the end, the caliph truthfully revealed his identity.

Because he was not sure whether Alexander Qin had superhuman wisdom in addition to his bravery.

The best way to deal with smart people is to be honest and play smart, the faster you die.

If he hadn't been playing tricks tonight and wanted to entrap the rebel army with a few carts of wine and dried meat, he wouldn't have let the other party seize the opportunity to cheat and open the city gate.

"You are the caliph, you are the highest commander here, okay, I will trust you for the time being, let your men put down their weapons, our army treats prisoners preferentially, if it is not that your country does not trust us, I don't think I want to use this There is a way to enter the city." Xu Ding was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the guy in front of him turned out to be the chief general of Hatra City.

This is a pleasant surprise.

It is God's will to take a prisoner casually and become the highest leader of the enemy army.

The caliph ordered his men to put down their weapons as promised. At this time, a group of people came up from the city and tied up all the resting soldiers.

Xu Ding retracted the gun, and then said: "Give him a hemostatic bag, let's go to the city!"

"Thank you!" Although the shot just now was not fatal, it is not a good thing to bleed too much, Khalifa thanked him and stopped the bleeding himself.

Then follow Xu Ding to the city.

Wherever the caliph passed, he saw Parthians who had not yet surrendered and ordered them to surrender.

The caliph is the master of Hatra, and the caliph family is the sky in this area. None of the soldiers dared to disobey, and they all put down their weapons and became captives of the rebel army.

Finally, even the caliph's mansion opened its doors to welcome Xu Ding and others.

He led all the captives into the barracks, controlled the city gates and the main roads in the city, Xu Ding sat in the middle seat where the caliph had previously sat, and signaled the caliph to sit on the lower left hand seat.

The caliph was in a complicated mood, which was very unpleasant, but as a nobleman, he was used to not showing any signs of joy, so he sat down obediently.

When Xu Ding saw him, he had a high opinion of him.

There are really not many such nobles, and it is indeed rare to be able to maintain one's heart after being a prisoner.

So Xu Ding said directly: "General Caliph, we have already said that our rebel army only went to Armenia by resting in peace. I can only express my deep regret for the misunderstanding between the two armies. I can only express my deep regret for the knights who died in battle."

The caliph stood up and also bowed and replied: "When the two armies are fighting, casualties are inevitable. If what General Qin said is true and did not intend to violate our peace empire, then I apologize to you. Your Majesty will clarify the situation and ease the misunderstanding."

"Of course, I am a seed, a seed of light. I just went to the dark place to dispel the darkness. I never thought of harming the Parthian Empire. I believe your majesty the emperor will understand." I don't understand that I have already defeated Hatra, so I don't care about your rest, Xu Ding continued:
"My infantry army will arrive at Hatra in a few days, and I may rest here for a while, and then go east and north on the departure, so I may have to chatter in Hatra for a while. During this time, I hope that your land If we can provide some food and guarantee the logistics of our army, of course we will pay a certain amount of gold coins as compensation."

Can I say no?

, The city has been taken down by you, if you don't agree, you won't come in?
The caliph didn't know whether Xu Ding's words were true or not, but he had become a prisoner and had no conditions to say, so he replied:

"As the host, we welcome friendly friends and will try our best to cooperate with your army, but we don't know how long General Qin plans to stay."

After a while, how long will it take? It's autumn now, and it will snow in the winter after a while.

Whether the rebel army will stay here and not leave, the caliph must try to figure it out.

If the rebels really wanted to eat and drink for a few days, they would consider themselves robbed by robbers.

If he wanted to occupy this place, he would have to prepare early.

Xu Ding stared at the Caliph without saying a word, nor did he speak, and his expression did not change.

The Caliph was a little apprehensive at being stared at, but he still kept a serious expression on his face.

"At least five days, at most half a month, to go to the eastern part of Armenia. Our army lacks guides, maps, and some necessary winter supplies. If we can gather these early and there is no Roman army chasing us, of course the sooner we go, the faster we will go." Good!" Xu Ding looked away from the Caliph, and looked outside the door.

This is the truth, he has no intention of occupying the city of the Parthian Empire.

And it is not suitable for development here.

There are more and more signs of the Dahan side sending troops to fight more and more frequently. He needs to return to the Dahan early to deal with the affairs there, so here he needs to be entrusted to Twelve.

Twelve can only do some routine trusteeship business, and it can't do things that involve the life and death of the rebel army.

After hearing Xu Ding's reply, Caliph secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be seen that Xu Ding doesn't seem to be lying, and it shouldn't be a lie to him.

No more than half a month at most, which is tolerable.

Just think that this year's tax revenue is all in vain, and there is a natural disaster.

As a great nobleman, the Caliph still has the basic cultivation and experience.

So he stood up and said, "I will try my best to help General Qin!"

"Thank you so much, but in order to avoid trouble, General Caliph will follow me these days. I am very interested in the Parthian Empire and would like to ask you for advice." Xu Ding also stood up and smiled slightly.

"I don't dare to give advice, General Qin can ask me anything you don't understand, and I will definitely tell you everything."

After taking down Hatra, Xu Ding's department strictly restrained the generals, and with the cooperation of the caliphate, there was no riot in the city.

Only the Anxi civilians in the city felt a little uncomfortable.

The good city of Hatra was captured by the rebels.

Their supreme caliph general turned out to be Alexander Qin's entourage.

This simply refreshed their cognition.

But aristocratic feudalism is like this, the upper class is not chaotic, and the lower class can't make trouble.

Apart from military occupation, Xu Ding did not destroy Hatra's institutions and structures.

It seemed as if a cloud floated over, without intending to destroy or interfere, and he didn't even promote his theory of light.

It wasn't until Meng Yu, Huobi, Soros and others arrived with the army that Xu Ding felt a lot easier.

The tense nerves of the riders also relaxed.

The caliph and the nobles represented by him naturally cooperated more and agreed.

After all, their [-] troops have entered the city, and you are thinking that it is too late.

The [-] troops who came all the way, even though they were originally a mob, have now become elite and energetic.

Especially in the rest of the country to occupy an important fortified city, is even more rejoicing.

Along the way, Xu Ding has always been able to attack the city, and not to attack if he can't, so he spends most of his time camping in the wild, and the hardships can be imagined.

Now there is finally a possible place to rest, and what is even more amazing is that Xu Ding only used more than 1000 horses to take down this city that has never been lost since the founding of the country in peace.

They all admired Xu Ding even more.

"The pursuit of the Romans in command is just behind us, and we are only half a day away. Fortunately, you have captured the city of Hatra, otherwise we might really have to fight them first." Said happily.

Xu Ding looked at the infantry soldiers coming in a hurry, patted each one, and then asked: "Which army is the closest to the Romans?"
