- Assyrian city.
In the palace, Hades was drinking and having fun, enjoying the singing and dancing of the Persian beauties.
The Romans withdrew their troops from Greece, and Rhadamandis had led the army to the east to provide reinforcements. The crumbling empire seemed to have been stabilized, and Hades could finally take a breath and relax.
"Radamandis, with one hundred thousand heavy cavalry, will definitely be able to defeat Yan Liang. Even if he cannot kill that guy, he can still be driven out of Persia. As long as the eastern part is regained, the empire will be stabilized. In time, I can restore the glory of the empire. It¡¯s not too late to seek revenge from Yan Liang and the Romans¡¡±
Hades admired the beautiful dance, and in his mind, he imagined a bright future.
At this moment, an army rushed in and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"
"Why are you so flustered and disrupting the emperor's mood?" Hades shouted displeased.
"Your Majesty, our army was defeated by the Chu army west of the city of Ai. General Radamandis was killed in the battle, and the entire army of 100,000 troops was wiped out"
Bang!
The wine glass in his hand fell from his hand.
Hades froze there, his expression frozen in shock for a moment, as if he had heard the most terrifying and incredible thing in the world.
"How is it possible that one hundred thousand cavalrymen are just gone?"
After a long while, Hades woke up with a start, gasping for air, his face full of disbelief and horror.
Hades could not figure out how the 100,000 cavalry led by Radamandis, mainly heavy cavalry, could be defeated by the Chu army.
"Moreover, the entire army was wiped out. Even Radamandis himself was killed by the Chu army.
Half of the remaining 200,000 troops were lost. This was a disaster for Hades.
The next moment, Hades fell into endless panic, so panicked that he didn't know what to do and how to deal with this unexpected and desperate situation.
After being frightened for a long time, Hades finally managed to catch his breath and calm down slightly.
"No. The situation is not irreversible yet. I still have 100,000 soldiers and horses. As long as I rush back to Ctesiphon. With the strong defense, Yan Liang will not be able to attack my capital. Sooner or later he will withdraw on his own. I still have hope."
Hades comforted himself. He made up his mind immediately.
That day. Hades gathered more than 100,000 Assyrian soldiers and rushed towards Ctesiphon.
As for the Romans stationed in Greece, Hades couldn't care less. Now, he could only choose to save the capital first.
When Hades led a hundred thousand panicked people and rushed toward Ctesiphon in the dust, a large number of Chu troops had already crossed the Tigris River. The siege of Ctesiphon began.
Rhadamandis¡¯s entire army was wiped out, and there were only more than ten thousand defenders left in the city of Texifen. Who else can stop Yan Liang's army from crossing the river.
At this time, there was panic in Taixi Feng City.
The news of the destruction of one hundred thousand troops has completely shrouded the Persian capital in the shadow of terror.
The palace was also in chaos.
The ministers were anxious and the nobles were panicked, but no one could stand up and save the situation.
In the empty hall, Queen Regent Pandora was pacing anxiously, with an expression of panic on her cold face.
"I didn't expect the Eastern army to be so strong. Rhadamandis's 100,000-strong army was just gone. Now the enemy has crossed the Tigris River and is surrounding Ctesiphon. What should I do? My brother, where are you?"
The anxious Pandora's thoughts were rolling in waves. After a long time, she gradually calmed down from the initial panic.
"Although Rhadamandis's entire army has been wiped out, Hades still has a hundred thousand people. He must be rushing to Ctesiphon non-stop now. As long as I can hold the city, I can wait for Hades's return reinforcements. "
Pandora calmed down and saw a glimmer of hope. She immediately ordered the 10,000 soldiers and horses in the capital to go to the city wall and defend Ctesiphon to resist the invasion of the Chu people.
In order to inspire people, Pandora, the regent queen, personally visited the city and urged the Persian garrison to prepare for war.
At the same time, Pandora persuaded the Persian nobles in the city to contribute their private soldiers and work together to resist the Chu army's attack.
With Pandora¡¯s efforts, the mood of the Persians in Ctesiphon calmed down slightly, and the panic was also controlled.
While Pandora was doing her best to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements from Hades, the Chu army of nearly 70,000 people had already crossed the Tigris River.
On the eastern front, more troops from the surrendered city of Ai are also rushing towards the front line.
Yan Liang rode his horse around Ctesiphon and personally inspected the Persian capital. Yan Liang had to admit that this was indeed a magnificent city.
The city wall is high and thick, and the place is vast. In terms of scale, it is not inferior to a city of the same level as Zhongwan City in the Great Chu Kingdom.
However, the civilization and technological level of the Persians were, after all, much inferior to those of Chu. Taixi Feng, the largest city in Persia, was much weaker than the capitals of Chu, such as Chang'an and Luoyang.
"If you want to capture this city, I'm afraid it will take some effort." Yan Liang said with emotion.
At this time, Ma Di galloped over on his horse and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, my scouts report that the Persian Emperor Hades is leading one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, rushing towards Ctesiphon day and night."
Yan Liang sneered: "It seems that Hades didn't care about guarding against the Romans in Greece. He rushed here to save his capital."
"Your Majesty, it will be difficult to capture Ctesiphon for a while. Hades still has a hundred thousand people. If he fights to the death, it will be a tough battle. I am worried that the Romans will take advantage in the end." Guo. Jia worried.
Yan Liang nodded, deeply convinced.
For Yan Liang, Hades has become irrelevant and it is only a matter of time to destroy him. What he is really worried about is the 400,000 Romans in Greece.
¡°If he and Hades fight to the death, even if Ctesiphon is captured in the end, he will have to pay a heavy price.
At that time, if the Romans took advantage of the situation to reap profits, the situation would be unfavorable to Chu.
After all, the strength of Rome is far higher than that of Persia.
"We must think of a strategy to defeat Hades as soon as possible and capture the western city without losing too much troops and prolonging the time." Yan Liang set the tone for this battle.
At this time, a sly look appeared on the corner of Guo Jia's mouth, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have a plan. Maybe we can destroy Hades without any effort and capture the city of Taixi in one fell swoop."
Guo Jia¡¯s conspiracy is indeed well-founded.
"What's the clever idea of ??being a filial piety?" Yan Liang's spirit was lifted.
Guo Jia then unhurriedly explained his strategy.
After hearing this, Yan Liang felt very happy and laughed loudly: "What a clever plan, what a vicious plan. Okay, let's do it like this."
Yan Liang then followed Guo Jia's plan and made arrangements immediately.
Then, he sent Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, with more than 20,000 light cavalry, to pretend to stop Hades' army.
In the battle of Ai, the Persian heavy cavalry regiment was almost completely lost. The army led by Hades was mostly light cavalry, so the Chu army could not repeat the tactics of the last great victory.
Generals Deng Ai and Jiang Wei were just ordered by Yan Liang to block Hades one after another and delay his arrival at Ctesiphon.
Hades was eager to rescue Taisi Feng, and he "defeated" several Chu army's blockades one after another. He was so confident that he desperate to destroy the troops and accelerate the advance.
In the early morning two days later, the army led by Hades finally arrived northeast of Ctesiphon.
Waiting there was a blocking regiment of nearly 30,000 Chu troops.
Without saying a word, Hades killed the army with a bang.
The Chu army was outnumbered and lost thousands of soldiers and horses within a short period of fighting. They were quickly defeated and fled towards the Tigris River.
Hades originally planned to enter Ctesiphon, but the defeat of the Chu army gave him an opportunity.
"The way forward for the Chu people is blocked by the Tigris River. If I pursue them, I will be able to annihilate the tens of thousands of Chu troops in one fell swoop. I can even recapture the ferry and isolate the Chu troops east of the Tigris River in one fell swoop. In that case, Ctesiphon's The situation will be greatly improved.¡±
Thinking of this, Hades, who was eager to win, led one hundred thousand cavalry to pursue the defeated Chu army.
The mighty army marched all the way towards the surging river.
But Hades didn¡¯t know that on a high slope not far away, Yan Liang, hidden in the woods on the mountain, was watching him with a sneer.
"Hades, who has lost Sima Yi, has indeed fallen into our scheme. Send an order to Zilong and tell him to take action." Yan Liang said coldly.
On the top of the hillside, a huge red flag tree stood up.
A few miles away, Zhao Yun, who was located on the bank of the Tigris River, saw the signal flag raised and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, please start digging the last dam for me."
The order was passed, and thousands of soldiers took action. After a while, most of the river embankment that had been dug was completely opened with a hole several feet wide.
The water in the raging Tigris River surged out from the breach, toward the city of Taixi and toward the northwest lowlands.The road is long and winding.
Looking at the rolling torrent, Zhao Yun sighed: "Guo Jia's plan is indeed vicious. Once the water rushes, not only Hades's troops will be washed away, but even Taixi's sealing city may be able to be defeated in one fell swoop. Crush it."
In the field of vision, the flood like a ferocious beast roared away.
A few miles away, the unsuspecting Hades was still leading his hundred thousand men to run wildly.
The Tigris River was right in front of him, but Hades discovered that the enemy he was chasing was nowhere to be seen.
But in his ears, there was a faint sound of waves like the sky and the earth breaking apart.
How can the sound of water waves appear in the flat land?
Hades was confused and was about to give the order to stop the horse's hooves when he suddenly discovered that in the front direction, the vast water was rushing towards them as if falling from the sky.
Endless waves filled his field of vision in an instant.
Hades's expression changed drastically, and the double-pronged spear in his hand almost fell out of his hand in shock. He was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into Yan Liang's plan.
The Chu army actually crossed the Tigris River and wanted to flood the city of Taixi in one go and swallow up his 100,000 remaining soldiers.
