    Chapter 184 The Last Battle

    "Kill!" With a loud roar, Cao Zhi swung his sword and chopped violently. The bird-patterned Baipi sword struck a wooden shield. With a loud "bang" sound, the wooden shield fell into pieces. The Sassanian warrior turned pale with fright and quickly pulled away.  Cao Zhi flew up and kicked him on the thigh, causing him to tilt. The Baipi knife flipped back, and the tip of the knife passed by, cutting his blood vessels. Blood burst out and sprayed all over Cao Zhi's head and face.  .

    Cao Zhi turned a blind eye, his head and face were already covered with blood, it didn't matter if there was more blood. He held the knife in one hand, swung a spear, picked up the hook in his left hand, and slammed it on the spearman's shoulder.  He swung his sword and struck again. The sword, which had already curled up, hit the soldier's shoulder armor. Half of the soldier's body was numb, but it was not necessarily fatal. Cao Zhi was furious and used his backhand to build a ring of swords on his face.  , shouted repeatedly: "Change the knife! Change the knife!"

    At this unexpected moment, three Sassanid soldiers rushed over with roars. Two spears and a sword rushed towards Cao Zhi at the same time. This elegant-looking Han general was too ferocious, and it took him only a few seconds to charge into the city.  While resting, they killed thirteen soldiers one after another, including a centurion. They were angered by the blood of their companions and vowed to kill Cao Zhi for revenge.

    Cao Zhi was not afraid, he pushed left and blocked right, slashed and swept, and killed three more people.

    The Sassanid people went crazy. A centurion brandished his sword and roared. He rushed over with a dozen soldiers and surrounded Cao Zhi and killed him.  Cao Zhi killed two more people, but after all, the sword was curled and its power was greatly reduced. He missed two swords in succession. The Sasanians immediately took the lead. A spear and a sword left two long slashes on his body.  The bloody wound, but thanks to the personal guards protecting it desperately, it didn't hit the vital point.

    "Change the sword!" Cao Zhi yelled while returning the sword to its sheath. He used the hook in his left hand to hold a cut sword, and punched out with his right hand, hitting the Sassanian man in the face. His face suddenly opened with paint.  .  Cao Zhi grabbed the sword with his backhand and beheaded him easily. He then chopped it into a spear at the right moment. The sword slashed along the spear. The Sassanid soldier was unable to make a move and had three of his fingers cut off. He was so painful.  He screamed, and then a sword came out, relieving his pain.

    In a matter of moments, dozens of people fell down on the top of the city. The two sides fought together, blood spattered everywhere, and screams could not be heard. There was greasy blood under their feet. From time to time, someone slipped and fell. Once they fell, it was equal to death. They could not climb again.  Can't get up.

    Cao Zhi accidentally rushed forward too fast and distanced himself from his personal guards. The Sassanids seized the opportunity. A dozen Sassanians rushed over and divided them into two places. Four or five Sassanids surrounded him.  As Cao Zhi killed him, more people blocked in front of the guards, determined not to let them come forward to assist Cao Zhi.

    As soon as he took a breath, Cao Zhi had three or four wounds on his body. One of them was grazed under his ribs. The blood quickly dyed his shirt red. All the strength in his body seemed to be flowing away quickly with the blood. The sword in Cao Zhi's hand slowed down.  Come down.  The Sasanians were overjoyed and attacked even more fiercely.

    "General¡ª¡ª" The guards who were just two steps away were so anxious that their eyes were red, and they rushed here desperately, but the Sasanians were willing to let go, forming a wall of flesh and resolutely refusing to let them get close to Cao Zhi.  .  The personal guards paid the lives of three people one after another, but were unable to take a step closer to Cao Zhi. They watched helplessly as Cao Zhi was overwhelmed by the attacks of the Sasanians and was exhausted.

    "Kill them." Ardashir, who was standing on the tower, saw the situation here. He sneered and waved his hand. A group of heavily armored guards immediately ran over. They shouted loudly and pushed away.  His companion rushed towards Cao Zhi, who was already kneeling on one leg.

    Cao Zhi also saw the guards getting closer and closer. He took a long breath and suddenly stood up. He raised his hand and threw out the sword in his hand. The sword rolled in the air and struck the leader with a "bang" sound.  The helmet of a heavily armored warrior was spattered with fire. Although it failed to cut through the helmet, the power contained in the sword knocked the warrior staggering and he fell to the ground on his back.  The companion behind him stepped on his body and rushed over. Three spears pierced Cao Zhi's hook at the same time, causing Cao Zhi to lose his footing and slide backwards.

    Cao Zhi shook his Dantian energy, roared wildly, twisted his body violently, removed the power of the spear, clenched his right fist, and hit the helmet of the warrior closest to him with a loud bang, and the warrior's neck was hit.  Tilted, he broke his neck abruptly and fell to the ground.  Without even looking at him, Cao Zhi hit another warrior on the neck with his back elbow. With a "click", the warrior opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Cao Zhi in disbelief and fell down softly.

    Cao Zhi mustered up his courage and killed two people in a row, but at the same time he was stabbed in the left chest by a spear. He was wearing Mingguang armor, and his shiny breastplate was dented by the stab. He raised his hand to hold the spear shaft behind his back, and threw it at the same time.  He dropped the hook in his hand, held the spear with both hands, shouted loudly, and actually lifted the heavily armored warrior up. The spear shaft was bent into a bow by the heavy force, making an unpleasant groaning sound.  Break with a soundThe heavily armored warrior fell from the air again, causing the two companions to lose their footing and stagger.  Cao Zhi seized the opportunity, rushed forward, stuck half of the spear shaft on the neck of a dizzy warrior, dragged him in front of him to cover him, and strode back.

    The Sassanid people shouted in all directions, waving their weapons and attacking. Most of them hit the heavy armor of the warrior who was about to roll his eyes. The sound of clanking was endless, but they could not hurt Cao Zhi.

    Cao Zhi took two steps back, knocked away the Sasanian warriors who were blocking the way between him and his bodyguards, and joined the bodyguards.  The Sasanians crowded in like a steel city wall. Although Cao Zhi's personal guards were killing with all their strength, their weapons had no effect on the heavy armor. The other party only greeted them, and in an instant, more than half of Cao Zhi's personal guards were lost.  .

    "Retreat to the siege truck!" Cao Zhi shouted with red eyes: "Retreat quickly!"

    The guards did not dare to neglect and retreated to the bridge ladder of the siege vehicle one after another. A few who retreated slower were entangled by the Sasanians and soon fell into a pool of blood.  As soon as Cao Zhi's foot touched the bridge ladder, he kicked the Sasanian warrior's buttocks who had already stuck out his tongue.

    The warrior fell forward and was stabbed by the oncoming spear. He was shaken and fell from the high city wall. With a "bang", he fell to the ground and died.

    ¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± Cao Zhi looked at the corpses of his personal guards being thrown off the city one by one by the Sasanians. He was so angry that he could do nothing.  He whipped the bridge ladder hard with half of the spear shaft in his hand, turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, his vision went dark and he fell to the ground with a plop.

    When Cao Zhi opened his eyes again, he saw the concerned faces of Sun Feng, Li Yan and others.

    "Oh, I finally woke up." Sun Feng breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Cao Zhi opening his eyes.  He stretched out his hand to hold down Cao Zhi, who was struggling to get up, and said with a smile: "General Cao, you are seriously injured. You need to take a good rest. Don't move around for the time being to prevent the wound from opening again."

    Needless to say, Cao Zhi's mouth was twisted by the severe pain of the wound. He took a breath of cold air and it took him a long time to regain his breath.  Looking around, I found that this was Sun Feng's tent. Candles had been lit, and it looked like it was already dark.

    "Is the fight over?"

    "Not yet, but it's coming soon." Chen Hai grinned and said: "General Cao, I can't tell you are also a desperate man. You actually fought against the Sasanians' heavy-armored warriors and killed four of them in one go.  ,I admire you."

    "I'm so impressed. Didn't you get kicked out in the end? It's a pity for my good men." Cao Zhi sighed, lay down helplessly, and looked at Sun Fengdao: "Prince, do you have any other clever ideas? Lien Zhan.  It has been three days, and we have tried our best. It seems that we cannot break the city if we fight hard. Although the morale of the Sasanians has been affected, the power of the heavy armored battalion cannot be underestimated. We have been driven down by them several times.  ¡±

    "Indeed, I failed three times." Li Yan nodded silently, reached out and patted Cao Zhi's shoulder gently to show his agreement.

    "Not just you, but us too." Feroze also nodded: "I attacked four times, but in the end I couldn't bite those bastards hiding in the turtle shells, so I had to retreat. At least my personal guards  More than three hundred people died."

    Lu Xun waved his hand and smiled calmly: "The prince has seen it. Your losses are not small, and our losses are not small. Five of the thirteen knights were seriously injured, and all the others were injured. In addition, the Romans and Kushan people  They also encountered the same problem, and they also encountered resistance from the Immortal Army."

    ¡°So, Ardashir can¡¯t hold it any longer?¡± Cao Zhi¡¯s eyes shone with joy.

    "Exactly." Sun Feng smiled slightly: "After several days of fierce fighting, our army's morale is strong and we have won consecutive battles. The Sasanians can no longer hold on. The only ones who can still maintain their combat effectiveness are Ardashir.  The Immortal Army. As long as we kill this Immortal Army, we will win."

    "How to kill them?" Li Yan frowned slightly, "They are wearing heavy armor, we can't kill them, the casualties will be heavy."

    "I have a way." Sun Feng said with a smile: "You have already made great achievements in battle, just wait to enter the city to celebrate." He turned to Cao Zhi and said: "General Cao, you are the most seriously injured, please don't mess around in these two days.  If you move, rest in peace and recuperate, otherwise you won¡¯t be able to drink the celebration wine.¡±

    "It's okay to celebrate with a drink. What I want to know now is how you defeated the city." Cao Zhi waved his hand and said impatiently: "Do you want to fight in person? I know your martial arts are good, but can you defeat the entire Immortal Army?  Get rid of it?"

    "Of course that's impossible." Sun Feng said: "However, I have Ahura's blessing. Ardashir can't stop me."

    ¡°And¡ª¡ª¡± Cao Zhi dismissed it.

    Li Yan and others did not say anything when they saw Sun Feng, and it was not easy to ask further questions.  ?Feng immediately invited Quintus, Bo Diao and others to discuss the matter.  After Quintus and Bo Diao divided their armies, they attacked the city for several days. Although they tried their best, they still could not break the city. Like the Han army who attacked the main gate, every time they were in the most critical moment, they would  The heavily armored Immortal Army would go to the city to relieve the siege. They had heavy armor to protect their bodies and were almost invincible. They could always squeeze down the Romans and Kushans who attacked the city again.

    After several consecutive attacks, Quintus and Bo Diao stopped attacking. If they continued to fight like this, it would be useless no matter how many soldiers they had. What's more, their military strength was not sufficient in the first place.  Shi Miaoshou destroyed the morale of the Sasanians, and they might not even be able to reach the top of the city.

    "Starting from tomorrow, we will join forces and attack the main entrance." Sun Feng didn't talk nonsense to them: "Everyone is ready to enter the city, prepare all the ballistae, and strive to annihilate the Changsheng Army."

    "Can we annihilate the Immortal Army together in one place?" Bo Diao said disapprovingly.

    "Definitely." Sun Feng said with confidence: "Ardashir is stubborn and insists on going against the gods. If he doesn't die, who will die? The Eternal Life Army is his last resort, and we must make this Eternal Life Army  Being buried with him is worthy of him."

    "Since the crown prince has already made a plan, we must obey his orders." Quintus said in a nonchalant tone: "We are waiting to follow the crown prince into the city of Ctesiphon and divide up the wealth that Aldashir has collected for many years."

    "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely not forget your contribution." Sun Feng chuckled.

    Ardashir stood on the tower, watching the enemies outside the city gather together again, with a disdainful sneer on his lips.  You won't gain any advantage by attacking the city separately, and it may not be effective if you attack the city together. If you don't have warriors stronger than my Immortal Army, you can't expect to capture Taixi Feng City.  What is the human heart?  As long as the Immortal Army is still loyal to me, others will weigh in even if they have different intentions.  He immediately ordered the scattered Changsheng Army to gather at the city gate, preparing to attack the enemy again.

    After returning to the palace, he summoned the people responsible for monitoring the tunnels under the city gate and inquired about the movements below the city. However, what puzzled him was that the city had been bleeding like a river in the past few days, but there was no movement at all below the city.  , as if Sun Feng had forgotten about it.

    Sun Feng could forget, but Ardashir did not dare to forget. He knew that this battle had reached the most critical moment. Sun Feng had been attacking the city for several days and had suffered considerable losses. If he could not break the city, he would have only one way to retreat.  , at this time, he is likely to use all his strength to make the final blow. He gathered the Romans and Kushan people near the city gate, which was obviously his intention.

    At the same time, Aldashir was still concerned about the war outside the city. He had received news from Awad and knew that although the attack during the day was not smooth, it was quite satisfactory. At least he did not suffer any losses. For Awad  For Germany, this is already rare and valuable. It is impossible to expect him to win unexpectedly. After all, he is not Shapur. Even Alpha is much better than him.  When he thought of these two sons, Ardashir's heart felt like a knife, twitching in waves, and his hatred for Sun Shao increased even more.

    Five miles to the north of the city, the light of fire was faintly visible. Aldashir knew that it was Awad and Sun Shao fighting a bloody battle. In order to break through Sun Shao's defensive position as soon as possible, Awad decided to attack overnight.  Aldashir has no objection to this. Awad has superior troops and can take turns to rest, but Sun Shao has insufficient troops. At this time, he can only go all out. The battle situation is still advantageous for Awad, as long as Awad does not make any mistakes.  Wrong, this battle can at least be guaranteed not to be lost.

    When the two sides face off, as long as they don¡¯t make obvious mistakes and don¡¯t give the other side an opportunity to take advantage of them, their strength will basically speak for themselves in the end. This is something Aldashir firmly believes in.  Arvad's strength was caution, which was one of the reasons why Ardashir kept him in charge even after his defeat.

    Outside the city, the horse-rejecting formation was brightly lit, and lamps were lit on the command podiums of both sides. However, the Sasanians lit torches, while Sun Shao lit lanterns of anger.  Sun Shao held on to the railing and looked at the Sasanian cavalry formation in the distance, and then at the Sasanian people who were still trying to move forward in the horse-rejecting formation. He estimated the progress, turned to Sima Shi and said, "Guanqiu Jianhe  Is Zhao Feng here?"

    "They have been informed and they should be here soon." Master Sima bowed and replied.

    Sun Shao responded, walked back and forth on the stage twice, and saw Wu and Zhao riding horses side by side. They dismounted outside the camp and strode into the camp.  They went up to the podium, bowed and clasped their fists beside the stage:

    "Dragon Rider Zuo Sima Chenjian pays homage to your Majesty!"

    "Dragon Rider Right Sima Chen is here to pay homage to the King!"

    "Come, sit down!" Sun Shao pointed to the seat in the center of the podium and motioned for them to sit down.  Guanqiu Jian and Zhao Feng were not polite. They both sat down, straightened their bodies, put their hands on their legs, and looked at Sun Shao intently.

    &nbsp"You have also seen the battle situation ahead. The Sasanians attacked all night and will not give up until I break my horse-repelling formation." Sun Shao smiled lightly and said: "So, you probably didn't have a good night's sleep today, so you have to give up.  They need to make some trouble to reduce the pressure on the horse-rejecting formation."

    "I sincerely listen to your Majesty's instructions and are willing to do your best for your Majesty." Guanqiu Jian said loudly, clasping his fists.

    "Your Majesty, how do we attack?" Zhao Feng asked.

    "It's very simple, rush out from both wings and kill their majesty." Sun Shao pointed at the Sassanid people opposite, and then pointed at the river on both sides: "I have notified the navy to cover you, you just need to control the distance  , don¡¯t leave the cover of the navy¡¯s arrow array, just don¡¯t be entangled by the Sassanids. If the Sassanids move out, you should retreat. Pay attention, harassing the enemy first, killing the enemy second, don¡¯t be too eager to fight.¡±

    "What if the Sasanians don't chase?" Guanqiu Jian hesitated and asked loudly.

    "If you don't chase, then do it again." Sun Shao said with a smile: "The Sasanians suffered heavy losses in the anti-horse formation. If they see you fighting, they have no reason not to chase you. As long as they kill you, they can  If we go behind the formation and attack, there will be no way for us to survive."

    Guanqiu Jian blushed and said nothing more.  Sun Shao glanced at him appreciatively: "Are you Wen Xiren?"

    Guanqiu Jian was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He followed Su's arrangement and brought more than a thousand Liaodong cavalry to serve as Sun Shao's bodyguards. Although he had met Sun Shao countless times, he had not yet met Sun Shao.  Shao had spoken in private, and when he suddenly heard him ask this question, he felt a little excited. After a while, he said, "That's right, I am Wen Xiren."

    "I heard that you joined the Liaodong Army without telling your father?"

    "Yes." Guanqiu Jian responded with some embarrassment: "But my father no longer blames me."

    "Fathers are all for the good of their sons. You have made contributions in Liaodong and been promoted, which shows that your choice is right. Naturally, he will not blame you." Sun Shao paused and then said: "Do it well.  Strive to achieve another meritorious service and become a marquis for your meritorious service, so that your father can be proud of you."

    When Guanqiu Jian heard this, his blood boiled and he responded with a bang.
