- Chapter 186 The Wrath of the Gods
Sun Feng wrote a letter to Ardashir, ordered hundreds of copies to be copied in Chinese and Khalifa, and shot into the city with arrows. He said to Ardashir, for the sake of the people of the world, my father came to Axum all the way and signed a four-nation alliance with the king to ensure peace in the world. Kushan, attack Rome again, and then besiege the city of Axum, hoping to do harm to our country. My father and son couldn't bear it anymore, and they raised an army to attack Sassanid for the sake of the world. Now the army is overwhelming, and the cities are falling in the wind. The ancient city of Seleucid, which the king had prepared for a long time, was captured in only ten days, leaving only Taixi to defend itself. It's not that we, father and son, can't capture Taixi Fengcheng, it's just that we, father and son, don't want to cause innocent casualties to the soldiers. Now that the war has been going on for many days, you should have seen our strength. We can break Ctesiphon at any time. In order to prevent the soldiers from using the lives of the Sasanians to compensate for the losses after the city is broken, I hope you will accept our kindness and put down your weapons. Go out of the city and surrender, otherwise, we will chop off your heads just like we chopped off the heads of your sons Alpha, Shapur and brother Awad and hang them on the Sassanid city. We will regret it at that time. It's too late.
Ardashir dismissed the previous words. When he saw Awad's name, he was startled. He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the battlefield in the distance and listening to the sounds on the battlefield.
It was pitch black in the distance, with only a few lights and shadows like stars in the night sky. The battlefield had become silent, and the sound of fighting could no longer be heard. It was so quiet that it was suffocating.
Ardashir's heart beat violently. He turned around and looked at the eunuch who had been accompanying him. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He felt an inexplicable fear, and the night wind also became It was even more cold, causing him to wrap up his clothes involuntarily.
Could it be that Awad¡¯s 30,000 troops have been eaten by Sun Shao? No, even if their strength is not bad, they will not be able to annihilate all 30,000 cavalry in one battle. A few hours ago, Awad sent a message saying that he would attack overnight to try to break Sun Shao's blocking formation.
"Is there any news?" Ardashir's voice was hoarse, sounding like a mouse gnawing on wood.
The eunuch looked at the unconcealed panic on Ardashir's face in surprise and shook his head.
Ardashir¡¯s expression was a little stagnant, as if he didn¡¯t know what to do. After a while, until he saw the uneasy interpreter, he remembered that he had not finished reading the letter, and quickly returned to the light to continue reading.
After persuading him to surrender, Sun Feng finally said, "Although I am young, with Ahura's protection, I am already sure of victory and can defeat Ctesi Feng at any time. If you are still stubborn, just wait to accept Ahura's protection." Be angry with Ra, and with the protection of Ahura, I will defeat you in front of hundreds of thousands of people and become the new king of Persia.
Ardashir laughed wildly, and the almost crazy laughter echoed in the hall. He turned over the letter, picked up the pen, and wrote a few words on the back of the letter: "Waiting for you to fight!" and then ordered someone to fetch him. With his stiff bow, he walked out of the palace, strode to the city gate tower, drew his bow, and shot out the letter.
The long arrow flew nearly a hundred steps and landed on the ground like a demonstration. The camp outside the city soon discovered that a knight was riding a horse. He did not dismount. He just bent down from the horse, picked up the arrow, and flew away. Seems to be gone.
Sun Feng, Lu Xun and others sat around in the big tent, drinking tea and arranging tomorrow's battle. The news that Awad's army had been completely wiped out had been sent to them. They no longer had any worries and could concentrate on dealing with Ardashir in Ctesiphon. They felt much more relaxed. They drank tea and laughed loudly. The atmosphere was very warm.
After receiving Ardashir¡¯s reply, Sun Feng smiled lightly and showed Ardashir¡¯s handwriting to Quintus, Bo Diao and others.
"Ardashir doesn't know good from evil. It seems that the only way to resolve this battle is to kill him." Lu Xun said calmly.
"Are you confident?" Sun Feng glanced at Quintus and Bo Diao while putting away the letter.
Quintus said nothing and continued to drink tea as if he hadn't heard anything. Bo Tiao was a little impatient. He looked at Quintus uneasily. He had just heard that Sun Shao had promised Quintus that he would meet him after the war. Damascus is building a bank. Although he doesn't know what this bank is for, it is not a bad thing for them to join forces. After Quintus has benefited, he will naturally support Sun Feng with all his strength. If he doesn't show off, he will lose the spoils after the war. You may suffer a loss in terms of distribution.
"We Kushan people naturally follow the lead of the Crown Prince." Bo Diao patted his chest and said loudly: "As long as the Crown Prince gives the order, I, Bo Diao, may be old, but I am still brave enough to use the sword, and I am willing to be the first to rush to the city wall. "
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?She glanced at him and raised the corner of her mouth, half-smiling.
Sun Feng cupped his hands gratefully: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty. However, how could I dare to work for Your Majesty? You have worked hard these days to attack the city and have suffered a lot of losses. However, I, a young man, have been hiding behind. I really feel sorry for you." Tomorrow I plan to go into battle in person, meet this Ardashir, and see how ferocious his immortal army is."
"The prince wants to go into battle in person?" Quintus frowned and said with some worry: "I know that the prince is skilled in martial arts, but the battlefield is dangerous and the swords and arrows have no eyes. What if"
"Ardashir acted rebelliously, and the gods are angry. I have Ahura's protection, your kindness, and the protection of countless warriors. I will be fine." Sun Feng said without explanation, interrupting the worries of Quintus and others, and decided Going to fight in person tomorrow, he even designated Lu Xun as the commander-in-chief of tomorrow on the spot, responsible for the coordination of the entire battlefield.
Lu Xun bowed and accepted the order.
The Romans and Kushans have suffered heavy losses these days. Whether it is Quintus or Bado, they actually don¡¯t want to rush ahead and lose their troops in vain. Now I heard that Sun Feng was going to attack the city in person. It didn't look like he was just pretending, so he was relieved. In turn, he was a little worried about Sun Feng, so he tried to persuade him a few times, but Sun Feng was confident and would go into battle to fight. , and said with a smile, "Everyone go back and be prepared. I will definitely open the city gate, and you will enter the city immediately and control the situation in the city." But Ctesiphon will be my city, so please be merciful and don't be too harsh, otherwise it will cost me money to repair it.
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Quintus and Bo Tiao were happy and agreed with a smile.
Lu Xun then explained the order of the siege, what situations might arise, how to deal with them, and how to coordinate the armies of the three countries. The Romans and the Kushans took it as a joke at first, but later they saw that Lu Xun was serious. , and every sentence was reasonable, so he didn¡¯t dare to take it lightly. He listened carefully, asked some more details, and then dispersed.
The next day, just as the sky was getting bright, the camp outside the city began to get busy. Smoke rose from the camp, and the soldiers were busy cooking. After breakfast, groups of soldiers came from the camp. He came out and lined up in front of the city. Thirty siege vehicles, which were still intact after several days of fighting, were neatly lined up in front of the formation. The slaves pushing the carts and the soldiers holding weapons were all in place. A chilling atmosphere enveloped Taixi. The city is coming.
Ardashir did not dare to neglect. When he saw Sun Feng's battle flag appearing in front of the battle formation, a smile appeared on his lips. He had long estimated that Sun Feng had reached the end of his strength. The Romans and Kushans had suffered heavy losses in the past few days, and they were already unable to attack alone. Although the losses of the Han army were not great, their food and grass should have been almost exhausted. If they could not capture Ctesiphon as soon as possible, they would have only one way to retreat. In the eyes of Ardashir, Sun Feng's ultimatum was just a bluff and looked arrogant, but in fact it revealed his inner uneasiness.
It's just that Awad's death made him feel very disappointed. On the one hand, brotherhood, and on the other hand, he was worried about affecting morale. Sun Feng wrote hundreds of the same letters in one breath, just to spread the news to the city. To distract the troops, it is conceivable that today he will hang out Awad's head, and perhaps kill a group of prisoners in front of the formation.
He has often done this kind of thing before.
Sun Feng sent the main force into battle. This was something he had expected. He also thought of a possibility, which was the tunnel under the city.
The underground thing is what he has always been most worried about. In contrast, he is not afraid of Sun Feng's attack on the city. As long as there are heavy-armored warriors from the Changsheng Army, he believes that no one can break through the city gate, but there has been no progress. The tunnel was a question hanging in his mind, just like the sword hanging above Darkmos's head. He couldn't even sleep peacefully, for fear that the sword would suddenly fall.
Now that it is the last moment, he believes that Sun Feng will definitely use this tunnel. The reason why there is no movement for so long may be that Sun Feng hopes that he will be careless, but how could he be careless?
What he was curious about was, did Sun Feng want to use the tunnel to attack during the day? Or use the fierce fighting during the day to cover up the excavation of the last section of the tunnel, and then launch a surprise attack at night? If this is the case, then Sun Feng's death is coming. How could he forget such an important thing. He couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought that Sun Feng's secret that he had hidden for a long time and his final reliance was something that was very clear to him. He really wanted to see what Sun Feng would look like when he knew the result, and he even wanted to know what Sun Shao's expression would look like after he captured Sun Feng.
He has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and is even a little impatient.
Maybe there is no need to wait for the tunnel. As long as Sun Feng dares to attack the city in person, he will use the unstoppable power of the heavy armored warrior to kill Sun Feng on the city wall and destroy the enemy.morale.
Ardashir ordered that all the heavily armored warriors be arranged at the gate of the city. At the same time, he ordered people to quietly remove the obstacles behind the two side doors so that the light cavalry could prepare to attack.
Mighty war drums sounded outside the city, and the huge siege vehicle began to move slowly, with a solemn murderous intent, slowly approaching the city gate. A siege vehicle facing the city gate, carrying a It was a spear with a person's head attached to it. Under the head was a broken battle flag.
Ardashir couldn't help crying. He knew without looking that this was Awad's head, Awad's battle flag.
There was silence at the top of the city. None of the soldiers spoke, but the glances they exchanged revealed the nervousness in their hearts. The rumors that had been spreading quietly since the night became a living fact. Awad and his 30,000 cavalry were all captured by the Han people. After being wiped out, Ctesiphon no longer had any reinforcements to rely on. Ahura may have really abandoned the Sassanid family.
"Fight¡ª¡ª" Ardashir suppressed the anger in his heart and issued the order to fight.
The low sound of the horn awakened the soldiers on the city head from their low morale. Whether they wanted to or not, they all clenched their weapons and stared at the approaching siege vehicles. These huge siege vehicles have amazing impact resistance. One or two cannon stones are of no use at all. They pose a great threat to the city head. Ardashir now invented a weapon to deal with this kind of siege vehicle, which is to use a wooden pole that is longer than the bridge ladder to support the siege vehicle and prevent it from approaching the city wall. This tactic seemed very simple, but it played a very important role. The Romans and Kushan people suffered a lot from it, and finally gave up the siege.
With the sound of the horn, the city began to get busy. Huge poles were moved to the city, adjusting the direction, preparing to resist the approaching siege vehicles.
The sound of war drums and horns became more and more urgent, echoing each other, making the atmosphere on the battlefield more and more tense.
The ballistas on both sides began to roar. Scattered oil canisters were caught among more bricks, dragging long flames and making a heart-stopping roar in the air. They fell to the ground and turned into a big fire. However, in many days of attack and defense, the tank bombs on both sides were almost exhausted, and they could no longer be used as intensively as when they were first used. The effect was more deterrence than actual damage.
Sun Feng took the helmet from Du Yu's hand, put it on his head upright, pulled off his visor, took the command flag from Yang Hu, then bowed respectfully to Lu Xun, and handed the command flag to him with both hands. Come over. Lu Xun took the command flag with both hands, bowed and returned the salute, and said softly: "Prince, be careful!"
Sun Feng nodded: "Thank you, General." He turned around and got off the command platform. Thirteen Teutonic knights were fully armed and stood there quietly, looking at Sun Feng intently. Nicholas was holding a tall, snow-white horse in his hand. When he saw Sun Feng coming down, he knelt down on one leg and said, "Prince, please get on the horse."
Sun Feng jumped onto the horse on Nicholas's back, shook the reins, and shouted loudly: "Warriors, follow me on patrol!"
"Here." Yang Hu, Du Yu and the thirteen knights responded loudly and got on their horses. Yang Hu held the Han army's banner and Du Yu held Sun Feng's battle flag, following closely behind Sun Feng. Nicholas and others sat upright on their horses, pointed their halberds straight to the sky, and followed Sun Feng to rush out.
Sun Feng trotted on his horse in front of the formation. Wherever he went, there were thunderous roars. Whether it was the Han army, the Romans, or the Kushan people, they were all attracted by the heroic Sun Feng. They vigorously stopped the weapons in their hands and shouted in unison. The voice paid tribute to Sun Feng.
"Soldiers¡ª¡ª" Sun Feng reined in his horse in front of the formation and raised his right hand. The formation that had been roaring like thunder just now fell silent, and everyone looked at Sun Feng.
Sun Fengti was full of energy and shouted loudly: "We all have homes and relatives, and we all want to live a stable and happy life, but why have we traveled thousands of miles to come to Taixi Feng City now? Because Ardaxi You don¡¯t want us to live in peace. Before the writing of the Four-Nation Alliance was even written, he started a war and dragged countless people into the flames of war and blood. We long for peace, but we are not afraid of any enemy. We have the courage. To defeat any enemy, we must use the weapons in our hands to tell them that the cruel will die of cruelty, and the greedy will die of greed."
He glanced majestically, and everyone held their breath, as if Sun Feng was looking at each of them.
"We are teachers of justice. We have the protection of the true God. We will be invincible. No matter how cunning the enemy is, they have no way to escape. Even the strongest wall cannot withstand our anger and let our Burn all enemies with your anger and turn all obstacles into ashes."
He raised his hands to the sky and roared with all his strength: "Great Ahura, open your eyes and punish the blasphemer."Blasphemy, bring disaster and death to our evildoers. "
¡°Kill Ardashir¡ª¡ª¡± Nikolai raised his arms and shouted.
"Kill Ardashir¡ª¡ª" The crowd was excited, and the roar was earth-shattering, like a huge wave rushing towards the city.
Ardashir at the top of the city was livid, and was very angry that Sun Feng pointed the finger at him alone. He did not look back. He knew that even if someone would rebel, it would not be the people around him.
Lu Xun waved the flag in time, and Sun Feng led the Teutons to take the lead in rushing towards the siege vehicle facing the city gate. Chen Hai followed closely behind, with Cao Zhang on the left and Li Yan on the right. The three groups of troops were like three lines. The dragon, braving the Sasanian cannons and arrows, rushed in, rushed into the siege engine, and flew up the ladder of the siege engine. Not long after, Sun Feng stood on top of the siege vehicle.
Ardashir sneered and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to aim at Sun Feng who was hiding behind the giant shield. As soon as his head showed up, he would be shot immediately. With the poles in hand, he is not afraid of these siege vehicles at all now. Before cutting off these poles, the siege vehicles were nothing more than shooting platforms.
Under the cover of the guard camp, Sun Feng had a clear view of the situation at the top of the city. Not only did he see Ardashir, he also saw the Immortal Army surrounding Ardashir, the elite men and women wearing heavy armor. It looks too conspicuous. He made a rough estimate, and a sinister smile appeared on his handsome face hidden behind his visor.
"Signal to General Lu that you can attack!"
Yang Hu responded, turned around and faced the direction of the formation and waved the command flag. Lu Xun, who was in the command car, had been observing the situation here through his clairvoyance. When he saw the command flag being waved, he breathed a sigh of relief, put away his clairvoyance, and waved his hand gently.
Luo Tong raised his hand and jerked it downwards.
Ardashir gritted his teeth tightly as he looked at Sun Feng on the siege truck. Time seemed to have stopped. I don't know whether Sun Feng was thinking about the way to attack or what he was thinking. The siege vehicle stopped fifty steps away and remained motionless, with no intention of pushing forward. Aldashir was getting impatient with waiting, and wished he could order the crossbowmen to kill Sun Feng now, so as to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.
The siege engines finally started again, and more than a dozen siege engines slowly approached the city gate. Ardashir was elated and ordered the Immortal Army to prepare for battle.
Fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps, just when Ardashir was waiting anxiously, he suddenly felt that the city wall under his feet seemed to move, and the earth seemed to be shaking. He withdrew his fierce gaze in surprise. Toward the city wall at your feet.
Before he could understand, an earth-shaking loud noise, like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocked the entire battlefield. Almost everyone was frightened out of their wits by the loud noise. They invariably covered their ears and focused their attention on the loud noise. coming direction.
What unfolded in front of them was a scene that they couldn't believe. The sturdy north gate of Ctesiphon suddenly rose up, one-third higher than before, and became very abrupt, as if a giant beast had suddenly crawled in. Under the city gate, the city gate was arched up.
After the huge city wall arched for a moment, it suddenly sank down again. A puff of smoke and dust rose into the sky, shrouding the entire city gate, as if the giant beast rushed out of the ground, shook off the dust on its body, and flew away. Up in the sky.
The reverberation of the loud noise lingered for a long time, but many people's ears had been temporarily deafened by the first sound. They could not hear these sounds, nor could they hear the screams hidden in the sounds. They He just stared stupidly at the incredible scene in front of him.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated. The originally tall and solid city wall became much shorter and collapsed into a mound. Countless people were rolling and struggling in the mound. They were crying and trying desperately to climb out of the mound. , but these mounds are no longer solid city walls. Once you step on them, you can't find a stable point of stress.
Countless soldiers of the Immortal Army were struggling in this mass of soil, howling in despair, like pieces of meat tumbling in boiling soup. The Sasanian soldiers on the walls on both sides were stunned when they looked at all this. , the weapons in many people's hands fell to the ground.
Sun Feng was also stunned for a moment. Although he knew that these gunpowders were quite powerful, he did not expect them to be so powerful. He only hoped to collapse the city gate. He never expected that these gunpowders would actually destroy a section of the city wall. Completely turned into rubble.
"Prince, attack the city immediately!" Yang Hu pushed Sun Feng and shouted loudly. Although he was prepared and covered his ears in advance, he was still shaken and his ears were buzzing. He had no idea how loud his voice was. Fortunately, Sun Feng was also a little deaf at this time, and he couldn't hear clearly unless he shouted so loudly.
"Attack!" Sun Feng raised his sword and roared.
The soldiers of the Han army suddenly woke up.Suddenly he became murderous.
¡¡
Ten miles away, Sun Shao was sitting by the river, holding the fishing rod in his hand, and turned to look at Wei Boyang: "How much gunpowder did you bury? Why is it so loud?"
Wei Boyang smiled proudly: "Not a single grain of gunpowder was left in the ten ships shipped, and they were all buried under the city gate. I estimate that even if the city gate is not blown into powder, it will definitely be more than enough to blow it down."
"Uh-huh" Sun Shao gasped as if he had a toothache, "Have you been so lazy with your money these years that you buried all ten shiploads of gunpowder? Not a single bit was left behind?"
"Nothing left behind."
¡°Then it¡¯s impossible for me to explode again?¡±
"There's no need to blow it up again." Wei Boyang curled his lips proudly: "I can guarantee that no one will dare to go against me, Vietnam, in thirty years. Not to mention Ctesiphon, even if the king wants to enter the city of Rome, Quintus can't do it now. Don¡¯t dare to squeak your teeth.¡±
"And, it's just about technology!" Sun Shao shook his head and pointed at the proud Wei Boyang with his finger: "You probably really think of yourself as a god."
