Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 596 This is a secret!

"Okay, I promise to act according to your method, expand the conscription again, and make up 20 troops! I just want to know, how many troops do you plan to send out from the Anxi Empire?" Although Hupisaka II couldn't see any expression on his face, However, an imperceptible vigilance is hidden in the deepest part of his gaze.

Although the Parthian Empire is mostly desert-based, the Parthian Empire was once extremely powerful and its territory was much larger than it is now. Even though it has declined now, it still has more than [-] troops. If the Parthian Empire does not send out all its troops , it is very likely that when the Guishuang Empire emerges, it will take the opportunity to annex Guishuang.

Parthian Emperor Vologassis V said: "Of course all the troops have been dispatched. Apart from leaving a very small number of troops to protect the city, the Parthian Empire will dispatch 20 troops!"

……

Blue City Palace

Sunam was lying on a blanket next to Yuan Yao with a happy face, learning to write Chinese characters seriously. Although Sunam spoke Chinese very fluently, except for the simple Chinese characters from one to ten, there were no other characters. Chinese characters can only be understood, but cannot be read or written.

"Husband! According to the calendar of your Dazhong Empire, today is the second year of Huaxia, the third day of June, right?" Su Namu asked.

"That's right!" Yuan Yao replied casually, his mind was not here at all at this time, if it wasn't for the fact that there is a rare clear spring from Congling, and it is the coolest landlord in the entire palace, Yuan Yao would rather sit in the main hall , Discuss military affairs with the generals.

"This damn weather is too hot!" Yuan Yao said to himself.

If it were in Pingyu, the capital of the Dazhong Empire, it would never be as hot as Lan's City. Yuan Yao really wanted to know how the Guishuang people and Anxi people who lived in the semi-desert area with little water and aridity spent their summer.

However, apart from Yuan Yao's complaints, Lan's City is a uniquely blessed place in the north of the snow mountain. The melted snow water from the snow mountain and Congling Mountain has turned into the Amu Darya River that penetrates deep into the desert, nourishing It covers a radius of hundreds of miles, and the terrain is flat. It is a good place second only to Flousha, the capital of the Guishuang Empire.

The weather in Flossa to the south of the snow-capped mountains is much warmer, and the water is more abundant. More importantly, because it is in the south of the snow-capped mountains, the wind from the south in summer makes it cooler there!

However, the Lan's City in the north of the snow-capped mountains is much more stuffy due to the obstruction of the wind!

"In winter, Bifulousha is dry and Bifulousha is cold, and in summer it is hot in Bifulousha, and Bifulousha is stuffy! Is this still the north?... I hope Emperor Guishuang will lead the army to attack as soon as possible, so that Fulousha will be Now that I have my territory, I can set up a palace in Fulusha in the future, so that Su Namu can live there!" Yuan Yao thought.

At this time, a guard hurried over.

"Report! Your Majesty, the scouts have sent the latest information that the 40 troops of the Guishuang Empire and the Anxi Empire are less than [-] miles away from the city!" The guard ran to the ground to report.

"Okay! Order the scouts to investigate again, and report back the news of the Guishuang Empire every quarter of an hour!" Yuan Yao's eyes suddenly showed excitement.

The personal guard bowed and retreated.

Su Namu stopped the pen in her hand, raised her head nervously, and looked at Yuan Yao, "Husband, are you going to the battlefield again?"

"Su Namu, you can rest assured this time, I won't go out for a bloody battle like last time, and your father is not in the army of the Guishuang Empire!" Yuan Yao stood up and said with a smile.

"Then how do you defeat the enemy?" Su Namu stopped lying on her stomach and stood up from the blanket in a hurry.

Because of the hot weather, Su Namu wore very little, except for the necessary clothes to cover her shame, she only put a layer of tulle on her body. When she stood up, the tulle slipped off, and she suddenly appeared. .

"Crack!" Yuan Yao couldn't help reaching out to pat his round buttocks, and said with a smile, "This is a secret!"

……

"Your Majesty! You came just in time!" Guo Jia greeted Yuan Yao and said happily.

"Feng Xiao, as expected, Guishuang Empire wants to take advantage of the hot weather to attack! Hehe!" Yuan Yao nodded and sat on the dragon chair.

Yang Wu also smiled and said: "The military master is really good at predicting things. The Guishuang Empire thought that the weather was hot, and it was inconvenient for our army to wear heavy and hot iron armor, so we couldn't exert the power of the iron cavalry. With its 40 troops, it will definitely beat me. The army has 20 troops!"

"Ha ha! Such a situation is possible only because of the concerted efforts of the generals! Feng Xiao, Yang Wu, are our gunpowder bombs and Thunderbolt chariots ready?" Yuan Yao confirmed again with a smile.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have prepared 50 gunpowder bombs!! Even if one bomb only kills one enemy, it is enough to blow up the enemy's 40 army to pieces!" Guo Jia said loudly.

"Two thousand thunderbolt chariots have been built, and the shooting range is more than one and a half times that of before, which is fully twice the range of the enemy's largest catapult!" Yang Wu said excitedly.

"Okay!! Order the whole army to eat in advance immediately, I expect the enemy army will attack overnight!" Yuan Yao ordered immediately.

"Yes! Your Majesty!!" All the generals obeyed in unison.

The emperor of the Guishuang Empire dared to attack again after the defeat, not only relying on the superiority of its troops, the soldiers of the Guishuang Empire and the Anxi Empire, who had long been familiar with the desert weather, were more resistant to heat than the Dazhong Empire.

The infantry guarding the city, wearing heavy armor, was almost suffocating in the heat, let alone putting on heavy armor and charging forward, it was almost impossible!The cavalry will be dizzy when they swing their weapons a few times, and the horses can't stand it!This is invisible, the heavy armor on both sides is useless, and the Dazhong Empire's advantages in armor and cold weapons are gone.

More importantly, this time the Guishuang Empire summed up the lessons of failure and specially transported nearly [-] large-scale catapults. When passing through the snow-capped mountains, they even quarried countless stones from the mountains and made them into stones. bomb.

The shooting range of the large catapults has already exceeded the defense range of the defending bows and arrows. There are a total of [-] catapults. If they are launched at the same time, if Lan's City only defends but does not attack, the consequences are not difficult to imagine.

On the north side of the snow-capped mountain, Hupiserka II sent a large number of scouts to confirm that there was no ambush from the Dazhong Empire in the snow-capped mountain, and then he set up his camp with peace of mind. Get close to Lan's City personally, so as not to be besieged and captured again by the Dazhong Empire's army like last time, but follow the trend of the snow-capped mountains, and place catapults on every highest point.

"If the Dazhong Empire dares to attack, no matter which direction it comes from, even if it is a sneak attack from behind, it will never break through my defense easily!! Humph! This time, I will let Yuan Yao taste the feeling of being beaten! "Hubisaka had a hostile look on his face.

The soldiers of the Guishuang Empire and the Anxi Empire also had confidence in the victory of the war, and everyone had a fierce look on their faces.

In the afternoon, the coalition forces of the two countries had already crossed the snow-capped mountains. After a short rest, except for the emperors of the two countries setting up camps, the 40 troops continued to move forward. Five thousand catapults will launch a fatal blow to Lan's City!
It would be even better if the Dazhong Empire's army in Lan's City went out to fight against the Dazhong Empire's 40 with the 20 coalition forces of the two countries.
