    Chapter 141: Empty Hands

    The heavy city gate creaked and opened a crack, and a figure walked out of the crack of the door. He was not wearing any armor, his hands were behind his back, and he walked towards the front of the formation step by step, showing off his power.  Alpha came over.

    Alpha held up the knife, a proud smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, and then frowned.  This person is obviously not here to compete, so he is here to surrender, but why does he look so awkward?  Looking at the way he held his head high, he didn't seem to be surrendering at all. Instead, he felt like an emperor patrolling his territory.

    Alpha was a little confused, and the Sasanian army besieging the city was also a little confused. The people in front stopped cheering and looked quietly at Tu Hu who was getting closer and closer. The people behind were still cheering, but slowly they also felt  I felt a strange feeling and closed my mouth unnaturally.  A strange tranquility was like an invisible ripple, with Tuhu as the center, slowly rippling, gradually turning the Sasanians' cheers into silence.

    Tu Hu walked across the suspension bridge leisurely, walked to a place ten steps away from Alpha and stood there. He reached out and hooked his fingers with Alpha, and said lightly: "Come on, let me see how much you weigh."

    Alpha couldn't understand Chinese, so he looked at Tu Hu blankly, and then glanced back at the two attendants. One of the attendants on the left took a look, urged his horse to rush to Tu Hu, pointed the scimitar in his hand at Tu Hu, and shouted condescendingly: "  Who is here? Kneel down quickly and answer!"

    Tu Hu didn't understand Persian either, but he could see the meaning from the look on the attendant's face. He sneered, and his body that was as steady as a mountain suddenly started to move. He was two steps away without even looking.  If he made any move, he just casually stretched out a hand and grabbed the attendant's ankle. The attendant was shocked and subconsciously raised the knife in his hand and chopped it off. Unfortunately, his reaction was too slow.  , as soon as the knife was raised, Tu Hu had already pulled him off his horse, and he fell to the ground with a plop. He was beaten to pieces, and the knife in his hand was also thrown away.

    This attendant is also a man who has experienced hundreds of battles. He followed Alpha and broke through the blood sea of ????the mountain of corpses. When he lost the initiative, although he was surprised, he did not panic. As soon as he landed, he rolled and rolled away.  Although he was covered in mud, he rolled out of Tu Hu's attack range. Then he climbed up quickly and turned half a circle. While staring at Tu Hu warily, he saw the sword falling on the ground out of the corner of his eye.  , hurriedly went over to pick it up, pointed it straight at Tu Hu, and held up the crooked helmet with one hand.

    His reaction was not unpleasant, but he was a little dizzy after being thrown so hard by Tu Hu just now. Although he took a good posture, he stumbled back two steps involuntarily, looking like he was drunk.  generally.  Compared with his nervousness, Tu Hu stood there without making any further moves. He just put his hands behind his back and looked at him quietly, as if watching an ignorant naughty child playing.

    "Compared with Tu Hu's calmness, this soldier who has fought a hundred battles looks very embarrassed.

    When the Yue soldiers and Axum warriors watching the battle on the city saw Tu Hu knocking the Sassanids down as soon as he made a move, making the opponent look like a monkey, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. The originally tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared.  One loose.

    Alpha's face immediately darkened. Without saying a word, he immediately whistled, shook the rope, and kicked the horse's belly. The horse suddenly started and rushed towards Tu Hu. The scimitar in his hand was raised high, slashing with the sound of wind.  down.

    Tu Hu's eyes tightened, and just when the war horse was about to rush in front of him, he suddenly took two steps across, and moved from Alpha's right side to the left in an uninterrupted moment. The front hooves of the war horse almost brushed against his body.  passed.  Alpha's eyes were blurred. The enemy had disappeared, and the knife he struck with all his strength had missed. Before he could recover, someone suddenly pushed him on his waist. He couldn't sit still on the horse and struggled twice.  , he still fell off the horse, but thanks to his quick reaction, he flew off the horse, put his left hand on the saddle, followed the horse for two steps on the ground, and then flew on the horse again, so he didn't make a big mistake.

    The war horse ran about ten steps, and Alpha reined in the rope, turned the horse's head back, and looked at Tu Hu in surprise and anger.  Tu Hu stood there, spread his hands, shrugged, and looked apologetic, causing another burst of laughter from the top of the city.

    Alpha was furious.  Unexpectedly, this stupid-looking big man turned out to be a master. First, he threw his bodyguard to the ground with a single move, and now he almost pushed himself down. Although he was not knocked down due to his superb equestrian skills,  But he had a horse and a sword, but he was pushed off his horse by an unarmed enemy. For a warrior like him, this was undoubtedly a great humiliation.

    Alpha's face flushed, and he reined in his war horse tightly. He pointed the war horse directly at Tu Hu and shouted in a deep voice: "Barbarian, take out your weapons, I want to duel with you."After waiting for a moment, Tu Hu was indifferent and just looked at him calmly. Then he remembered that this man could not understand Persian, so he quickly changed to blunt Chinese and spoke again.

    Alpha was not familiar with Chinese, and he spoke confusingly and abruptly, but Tu Hu understood it.  He didn't say anything, just clapped his hands, and then moved towards Alpha. The meaning was very clear, I can just deal with you with my bare hands.  Although there was no trace of arrogance on his face, the arrogance coming from his bones made Alpha furious.

    "Since you are looking for death, don't blame this prince for not following the rules." Alpha roared in Persian, whipped the horse's buttocks with the back of the knife, and kicked hard with his toes. The horse felt pain and stood up, and hissed loudly.  Then he rushed towards Tu Hu like the wind.  The extremely angry Alpha roared, raised the sword high again, exerted all his strength, and vowed to split Tuhu in half with one sword to repay the humiliation just now.

    Tu Hu stood motionless, but his eyes were fixed on Alpha's eyes. His gaze was as real as the eyes. He crossed the distance of more than ten steps and made Alpha involuntarily startled. With such a mistake, the war horse had already rushed to him.  In front of Tu Hu, Alpha bit his tongue, concentrated his mind, shouted loudly, and slashed with his knife.

    Almost at the same time, Tu Hu suddenly shouted loudly, stretched out his body, rushed forward, and rushed towards Alpha on horseback.  Although Alpha exhaled together with him, his shout suppressed Alpha's roar, shocking Alpha's mind, and there was an imperceptible hesitation in the raised arms, and just this hesitation,  He lost his last chance.

    Tu Hu¡¯s huge body hit him like the wind. He raised his left hand, just in time to hold Alpha¡¯s wrist that was swinging with all his strength. He spread his right hand, grabbed Alpha¡¯s belt, exhaled loudly, and forcibly lifted him up.  Although Alpha clamped the horse's belly with both legs, his efforts had no effect at all in the face of Tu Hu's divine power. The horse rushed over, but he was lifted up by Tu Hu. There was a huge pain in his right hand, and then  He couldn't hold the sword in his hand, and was then slammed to the ground by Tu Hu.

    This hit was so hard that not only did the dust fly, but it almost knocked Alpha's breath away. His vision went black and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He grabbed Tu Hu's shoulder armor in vain with his left hand and instinctively thought  He threw Tu Hu to the ground, but he couldn't exert any strength. He leaned softly on Tu Hu's body, like a helpless and weak woman.

    The two attendants who were watching the battle were shocked when they saw it. They roared in unison and galloped forward. They urged their horses to charge forward, flicked the spears in their hands, and stabbed Tu Hu.  Tu Hu didn't look back. With a twist of his body, he lifted up Alpha's tall body and threw it towards the attendant on the horse. He took a big step and stepped in front of the walking attendant in a few steps. He grabbed it with both hands.  In the attendant's arms, he twisted his left hand and snatched the sword from his hand. He slapped the attendant's chest with his right hand, turned around and rushed towards the mounted attendant.

    The footman on foot barely had time to feel the pain in his wrist, but he felt his chest stagnate, as if he had been hit by a galloping horse, and even his breath was suffocated. He took two steps forward, stopped his steps, and looked down.  On his chest, he only saw that his breastplate was intact, not even a scratch, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't breathe.  Suddenly, his throat felt sweet, and a stream of blood spurted out, all sprinkled on the dry loess, which looked shocking.

    He raised his head blankly and watched helplessly as his companion threw away his spear for fear of stabbing Alpha. He opened his arms to catch the flying Alpha and fell off the horse. Before he landed, Tu Hu was already like a male.  The lion arrived and kicked his companion in the neck. The companion's neck twisted into a weird angle, and a stream of blood spurted out. Alpha fell to the ground, and was immediately trampled by Tu Hu who caught up.  Underfoot.

    He stared blankly at Tu Hu, who was standing with his hands behind his back. He couldn't figure out what kind of warrior this was. He actually easily defeated the three of them with his bare hands in a short period of time.  Alpha is a famous warrior in Sassanid, and the two of them are also fierce soldiers who have experienced countless fierce battles. How come they are as helpless as children in front of this man?

    Before he could figure it out, he fell down softly and lay on the loess. The thick blood flowed freely, nourishing the earth beneath him.

    Tu Hu defeated Alpha with an astonishing speed, trampled him under his feet, and killed two warriors. The speed was so fast that no one could recover. There was silence both above and below the city.  There was no sound between heaven and earth, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to have stopped flowing.

    Sun Shao was overjoyed. He knew that there would be no problem in using Tu Hu's force to deal with Alpha. After all, he could see how hard this big man practiced every day. In order to gain strength, he had not married and had children until now.  ?The important thing is to cultivate both internal and external skills, but he did not expect Tu Hu to win so easily, and the battle was resolved in a few breaths, and in such a fierce way.

    After a while, Sun Shao slapped Ao Lei, who had his mouth wide open, and laughed and scolded: "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you beat the drums to cheer up? Let's take people to pick up Tu Hu." Ao Lei came to his senses and hurriedly raised his hands and shouted  : "Drumming¡ª¡ª" he yelled, jumped off the city wall, rushed to the back of the city gate with the three hundred tiger guards prepared in the city gate, and opened the city gate creakingly.

    At the same time, Ding Feng also raised the battle flag in his hand and roared: "The crossbowmen are ready -"

    With a "swish" sound, the crossbowmen preparing for battle on the city raised their crossbows and pointed upwards, ready to go.

    Under the city, Shapur, who was watching the battle from a distance, suddenly exclaimed: "No, Alpha is in danger!" Before Aldashir could react, he urged his horse to rush out, and the attendants who followed him without thinking,  He also rushed out, and in a moment, more than a dozen war horses spread their hooves and galloped towards Tu Hu.

    Tu Hu sneered, stomped the foot on Alpha's chest hard, picked up a sword next to him, picked it up in the air, bent down and picked up another sword, with both swords in hand, he did not retreat but advanced, shouting wildly  He rushed towards Shapur and others who were standing, and hit Shapur who was rushing in the front with his head in his arms and struck him.

    Shapur was shocked. He lowered his head to avoid Tu Hu's knife. The sword in his hand quickly passed between Tu Hu's chest and abdomen. He only heard a "chi la la" sound and sparks shot out. It turned out that Tu Hu  Tiger's left-hand sword was guarding his right rib, just in time to block Shapur's insidious sword. Then he raised the sword back and cut off the thigh of the knight who was following behind.

    Tu Hu showed off his might, leaping and leaping between more than a dozen war horses, flying his swords, and knocked three knights off their horses. The knights who rushed over circled the horses in the distance, recalling the encounter with Tu Hu just now.  They couldn't help but sweat profusely from the thrilling experience. They looked back with lingering fear, only to see Tu Hu wielding two swords and rushing over like a whirlwind. After rushing behind the rearmost knight, he suddenly jumped into the air.  , the sword in his hand passed by with lightning, and the sword struck the owl's head.  The knight hadn't come back to his senses yet. He only felt that he suddenly flew up. Then he saw that his body was still sitting firmly on the horse. Then he saw the murderous enemy charging into the crowd of his companions. In a moment,  , killing two people in a row.

    These knights did not expect that Tu Hu would be so brave and actually catch up and kill them. Although they all had war horses, most of them stopped and were about to turn around when they were suddenly attacked by Tu Hu. They had no time to speed up their escape and wanted to resist.  But he was no match for Tu Hu at all. Only Shapur and the three knights who were at the front saw the opportunity and slashed the horse's butt with a knife, and ran away as if they were flying.

    Tu Hu was not interested in fighting either. After killing several knights who had no time to escape, he laughed and strode back to the city.

    Behind him, hundreds of Sasanian light cavalry galloped towards the city. They were able to catch up to the city, but were caught by the crossbowmen on the city. Ding gave an order, and nearly a hundred crossbowmen released arrows at once.  Arrows roared out, shooting down the Sasanian light cavalry at the front. When the light cavalry behind them saw it, they quickly reined in their horses, turned a corner in front of the city wall, and galloped away.

    Taking advantage of this time, Tu Hu had returned to the city, and the heavy city gate was slammed shut in a demonstrative manner.

    The city was very lively. Everyone cast their enthusiastic eyes on the face of Tu Hu, who was surrounded by Ao Lei and others. His eyes were full of admiration. They were all extremely excited. It seemed that the one hundred thousand Sasanians outside the city had already  They were generally defeated.

    "Ahu, you are very brave today." Zhou Yin stepped forward, punched Tu Hu's strong chest hard, and said with a big smile: "Young boy's practice is not in vain."

    Tu Hu smiled naively, walked up to Sun Shao, bowed and saluted: "Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled."

    "Okay, very good!" Sun Shao waved his hand with satisfaction: "Come here, give me some wine!"

    Yu An responded, walked up to Tu Hu holding a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Please drink from this cup, Lord Hu!"

    Tu Hu took the cup in his hand and bowed to Sun Shao again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine." Then he tilted his neck and drank it all.

    "Cai!" Zhou Yin shouted with arms raised.

    "Cai!" "Cai!" The surrounding soldiers could not suppress their excitement and shouted loudly.

    "The country of Yue will surely win!" Tu Hu also smiled, raised his fist, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the country of Yue will win."

    "The king is mighty, and the country of Yue will surely win!" the soldiers shouted in unison, and the roar quickly spread along the city wall. The soldiers and people inside the city all roared excitedly, and the roar shook the earth.  .

    The Sasanian people outside the city were lifeless.  Shapur rescued Alpha and rushed over with the military doctors and craftsmen.?Carried Alpha onto the stretcher, but Alpha was already dying. His chest deflated loudly, and his ribs seemed to have been broken. Blood spurted out from his mouth one after another. He looked up at the blue sky, his eyes gradually blurred.  .

    "Father, it's my fault, it's my fault" Shapur cried while holding Alpha's head: "I should have reminded Alpha, I should have reminded Alpha, this person this person is more  The country¡¯s master.¡±

    "A master from the Yue Kingdom?" Aldashir's face was livid, his big hands clenched the sword at his waist, his veins were exposed, and his tall body was trembling slightly.  He led an army of 100,000 people to come all the way and surrounded Sun Shao in the city of Axum. He was about to succeed, but he didn't expect that he defeated his most courageous son Alpha with just a challenge in front of the battle, and he lost so ugly.  As a result, the morale of one's own side was greatly damaged, but the morale of the other side was greatly boosted, which made the subsequent siege more difficult.

    What makes him even more heartbroken is that although Alpha is a bit unruly, he is really a good son and a good warrior. How can his spirit in heaven rest in peace if he dies in such a humiliating and tragic manner in front of the battle?

    "Yes, I heard from Yue King Sun Shao that this Tu Hu is the only master who has practiced that kind of magical martial arts like him. I just just didn't think of it for a moment, and I didn't expect to lose Alpha because of it.  His life. It's all my fault, it's all my fault"

    Aldashir was stunned. After a moment, he slowly let out a long breath: "This is not your fault, it is the fate arranged by Ahura. Even if there is any mistake, it is the fault of Yue Ren. They killed  I want to use the heads of the King of Yue and this Tuhu to pay tribute to my Alpha. Shapur, pass on my general order. Those who get the heads of the King of Yue and Tuhu can give priority to the spoils."

    Shapur was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and quickly turned around to pass on Ardashir's reward order.  Immediately afterwards, Ardashir ordered to set up camp and convene the generals to discuss how to attack the city of Aksum.

    Because of Alpha¡¯s death, the generals had not yet recovered from their surprise, and the atmosphere in the entire tent seemed very depressing.  Ardashir glanced at them, and first criticized himself: "I love Alpha too much, and I didn't do anything unnecessary when victory was inevitable. In fact, with the strength of our army, it doesn't matter to us whether we can defeat them or not, which will damage their morale."  relationship, but now I have given them a chance, which is really shooting myself in the foot."

    When the generals saw what Aldashir said, they all offered words of comfort. Shapur also patted his chest and said, "Alfa's death was purely accidental. He must have thought that the Yue man was here to surrender, and was unprepared, so he was hit."  The trick. When we find out about the city, we must catch this shameless Yue, carve out his heart, and avenge Alpha." He turned around and said to Aldashir: "Father, my son is willing to serve as  The vanguard of the siege.¡±

    As soon as he opened his mouth, the other generals were not to be outdone and stepped forward one after another to ask for a battle. The depression just now was swept away.  Aldashir nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal everyone to be calm. After they all calmed down, he said calmly: "We have already found out clearly that there are ten thousand elite Yue people in the city. In addition,  , and there are nearly 10,000 Axumites. Aksum is a gift from the Romans to the Yue people, but it is not the intention of the Axumites themselves. They will not willingly help the Yue people fight. The Yue Kingdom dominates the sea, but  This is land and our world. As long as we surround this place, we can make the Yue people have no way to escape. The most important thing now is not to attack the city, but to clear out their possible reinforcements and kill them all.  The people inside will collapse, and when that time comes, we will succeed in attacking the city again."

    Shapur stepped forward and said: "My son is willing to lead his troops to intercept the Vietnamese reinforcements and promise not to let any Vietnamese reinforcements reach the city."

    "Very good." Ardashir glanced at the generals: "Who else is willing to join Shapur?"

    All the generals knew that although Alpha's death was a bad thing for the Sasanians, it was a good thing for Shapur. With the death of a competitor, there were tens of thousands more elites. At this time, Shapur  It would be strange not to take credit.  Judging from Aldashir's intentions, it seems that he is also willing to let go of cultivating Shapur's strength. Following Shapur is definitely a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.  They stepped forward one after another to ask for a fight, each one seemed to be waiting for someone to come and die.

    Ardashir immediately ordered Shapur to lead 20,000 light cavalry to patrol between Aksum City and the seaside. Once they saw Vietnamese reinforcements, they would step forward to intercept them. If the opponent had a larger number, then notify the army to prepare, and the remaining  The 80,000-strong army under his command surrounded the city of Aksum, and they seized the time to build siege equipment, and then launched a siege battle when they were ready.

    These people are all old men who have fought with Ardashir for many years. They all work together very well.After Ardashir made arrangements, everyone split up to make preparations.  Shapur led 20,000 underrepresented enemy troops and set up a camp ten miles away from the seaside. He sent out a large number of scouts to explore the coastline within a hundred miles. He must not allow a single Vietnamese reinforcement to enter the city of Aksum.
