    All the sergeants, including the generals, were extremely excited.  The expedition went to such a far away place, and they lived in a land surrounded by foreigners for such a long time.  Suddenly seeing so many of their own people from the mainland, the entire army fell into inexplicable excitement.  Fortunately for Gao Yang, he has the ability to travel through time and space, and it is just a matter of effort to go anywhere.  But others can't. Living in a foreign land for a long time has caused great psychological depression, which has a serious impact on military morale.  Fortunately, this will soon be resolved.  The expeditionary force, whose fighting will and mental state have begun to decline rapidly, will soon take their wealth on board sea ships and return home to live a better life.  And those sergeants who came in rotation watched with red eyes as their seniors boarded the navy carrying bags filled with various belongings and prepared to return home to enjoy their happiness.  Listen to them tell how vulnerable the enemies along the way are, how easy it is to earn military glory, and how charming the beauties of the foreign races are.  Their hearts began to burn.  The Han troops who came in rotation were like hungry wolves that had been hungry all winter, howling and howling at the smell of meat.  Their fighting spirit and mental state are all at their peak!  More than a month later, Sun Jian's fleet had already sailed back home with his sergeants.  The rotating sergeants have initially acquired combat effectiveness after more than a month of rest and adaptive training.  Gao Yang once again launched an army attack.  This time the target is the important northern town of Hatra.  The city of Hatra, located southwest of Mosul, is a city with a glorious history.  The entire city is made of stones.  There is a tower on each side, which is majestic and upright.  There are many temples built in the city that combine Greek, Roman, Persian and Oriental styles.  These temples were built on a rectangular sacred site surrounded by a wall consisting of seven gates.  The temple is grand and proud.  There is a huge temple towering into the clouds in the middle of the city. This is the center of the Parthian civilization.  The city of Hatra is surrounded by two protective walls.  There are nine watchtowers on the city wall, deep trenches and moats outside the city, and a circular castle in the center.  This is a typical Greek architectural pattern.  After Alexander's expedition, he assigned his men to build cities on the vast land, leaving a strong Greek imprint throughout Central Asia and Mesopotamia.  At this moment, this magnificent city, which had withstood many attacks by the Roman Empire¡¯s expeditionary forces, ushered in an army that had never appeared here before in history.  The Han Emperor team came from the starting point of the distant Silk Road!  "This time. There is no place to go." Looking at the huge military formation outside the city with flags that could cover the sky and the sun.  The Emperor of the Parthian Empire, the young His Majesty Vologis V, stood on the city wall and began to pray in despair.  ¡°His Majesty the Emperor indeed has no place to go.  Armenia in the north cannot be reached, it is a wild land infested by barbarians.  His Majesty the Emperor would rather die in battle than go with the barbarians.  Not to mention Syria in the west, which was a province of the Romans who had feuded for hundreds of years.  As the emperor of the Parthian Empire, how could he rely on the body of a feuding man?  The emperor's dignity prevented him from joining forces with the Romans.  The south and the east are both lands occupied by foreign armies, and he can't go either.  His dignity as an emperor prevented him from surrendering.  At this moment, the entire Parthian Empire has almost fallen.  Only this century-old city is left standing proudly.  But can this fortified city that once successfully resisted the Roman expeditionary force continue to hold on in the face of foreigners from the east?  His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know, and no one knows.  "This city is very strangely built. It is obviously different from the city of my great Han Dynasty." Guo Jia, who was beside Gao Yang, put away his telescope and shook his head.  "This is the architectural style of classical Greece." Gao Yang said with a smile. "It won't be long before we reach Asia Minor, where they will all have this architectural style. Then across the Aegean Sea, we will find the birthplace of Greek civilization. The Greek Peninsula.  " "I really want to go to Haosheng to see these completely different civilization trajectories. It's really amazing," Guo Jia said with a look of longing.  "I'll give you a good look at it!" Gao Yang said with a smile. "After the Western Expedition, I plan to divide the entire Europe into two major viceroyalties. You are the first governor of the Eastern European viceroyalty that I have booked." "That's very good.  ." Guo Jia laughed and nodded.  "Okay." Gao Yang squinted his eyes and cast his gaze towards Hatra City in the distance. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Attack! Capture this last fortress of the Parthians!" "Here!" The generals around him said.  They responded in unison.  A siege is still a siege.  No country in this era can compare with the Han Empire in siege warfare.  No?It's just a trebuchet, but the power of incendiary bombs is huge.  What's more important is that after hundreds of years of development during the Warring States Period, the Chinese nation invented countless advanced siege equipment.  Things like nest carts, columbians, and ladders were completely beyond the limits of Parthian people's imagination.  The city of Hatra, which was extremely strong in the eyes of the Parthians, was quickly engulfed by the surging Han army.  Gao Yang took out various large siege equipment built outside Luoyang City from the storage space.  Previously there were trebuchets and incendiary bombs along the way.  Now there is finally a place for these siege engines to be used.  Gao Yang has no intention of destroying this city.  This is an extremely strong military fortress, and Gao Yang decided to use it as an important stronghold.  Those who followed the emperor here were the most loyal Parthian warriors.  In this fortress they made their last and most desperate resistance.  These warriors risked their lives regardless of their own safety and showed their strongest strength.  Even the Greek legionary guard beside His Majesty the Emperor joined the battlefield.  His Majesty the Emperor no longer needs their protection.  The fierce battle lasted from sunrise to sunset, and then to sunrise again.  The entire city wall of Hatra has been stained red with blood.  Thick piles of corpses were piled up inside and outside the city wall.  Countless corpses were soaked in pools of blood.  The unbearable smell of blood enveloped the entire city.  "Boom!!!" The solid gate and the sealed gate were finally knocked open under the unremitting attack of the Han army.  Countless Han troops cheered loudly, roared and charged into the city waving their weapons and shields.  "Your Majesty!" The high priest in a gorgeous divine robe came to the castle at the core of Hathras City, with a sad look on his face and a haggard look on his face.  Vorogis V with bloodshot eyes.  He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.  "Is the time up?" The miserable-looking Vorogis V slowly opened his eyes and asked with a hint of trembling in his tone.  "Yes. Your Majesty." The old high priest slowly bowed his body.  ¡°Huh~~~¡± The young emperor let out a long sigh of relief.  Everything is finally coming to an end.  Ever since the alien army from the far east entered the empire, he had not had a good rest, and he had been spending these days in anxiety.  Well, now it's all coming to an end.  The young emperor followed the footsteps of the high priest and slowly walked towards the tallest temple in the city.  The city was now filled with smoke, and there were fierce fighting sounds and shrill howls everywhere.  Looking down from a high place, countless tidal waves of Han troops were pouring into every corner of the city from all directions, killing everyone who dared to resist!  ¡°Alas~~~¡± The young emperor sighed, reluctantly looking away from his last land.  He raised his head and looked at the bright sun and the clear blue sea and sky, and let out a long sigh of relief.     it's all over.  "Lord Lieutenant, the temple at the highest point in the city is on fire. According to the prisoners, the barbarian chiefs and many priests and nobles all set fire to themselves in the temple." A captain came to Gaoyang and reported with an expression.  Military intelligence.  Gao Yang raised his gaze and looked at the towering temple in the center of the city, frowning slightly.  He really didn't expect that the emperor of the Parthian Empire would be so decisive.  When the country was destroyed, he chose to die for his country.  In any case, this is also a truly responsible emperor.  "Forget it." Gao Yang retracted his gaze, shook his head slightly and said, "Pass the order, and that's it." "Here!" "Another once glorious empire has ended." Gao Yang shook his head, and suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart.  "How about it end like this? Will you withdraw your troops and go back?" Yuandian asked softly.  "How can that be done?" Gao Yang raised his brows, smiled, and said, "Things have come to this point, how can we give up at this time? We must finish everything no matter what. Although it is a bit sad,  But these are unavoidable things. "The Parthian Empire fell.  This ancient empire quickly fell under the attack of powerful armies from the far east.  The speed exceeded everyone's imagination.  The governor of the Syrian province of the Roman Empire had just sent the information to the city of Rome, and the Parthians had already perished.  At this time, the Roman Empire was just beginning a period of internal turmoil after the death of Emperor Commodus.  After the deaths of the heirs Pertinax and Julianus, the entire empire fell into chaos.  Nigel, the governor of Syria, was about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, but he was shocked to find that the Parthians, their centuries-old rivals, had been wiped out by foreign troops from the far east in a very short period of time!  In panic, Nigel no longer cared about ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, and hurriedlyThen Rome sent a messenger asking for help.  The principle of dying lips and cold teeth is common to both East and West.  Before the city of Hatra was besieged, Niger also sent an envoy with his letter to see Vorogis V, expressing his willingness to accept Emperor Patila to take refuge in Syria, or he could directly send troops to support him.  However, Vorogis V ultimately rejected his request.  A feud will always be a feud!  In distant Rome, Severus, the governor of Pannoia, was fighting a decisive battle with his rivals Arnubis and Nigel, not caring about the war in distant Mesopotamia.  In this chaotic situation, Gao Yang officially invaded the Syrian province of the Roman Empire with his huge Han army!  (To be continued)?¡­
