Chapter 252

"Uncle! Uncle!" Zhang Xiu rushed into the tent in a hurry, seeing his uncle drinking and eating meat, he couldn't help but froze in place.

"Hahaha, Bo Yuan, just in time!" Li Que laughed and raised his wine glass to Zhang Xiu.

"Come, come, come and drink!" Guo Si also invited cheerfully.

"Huh?" Zhang Ji downed his stomach with a sip of wine, turned his head to look at Zhang Xiu, and was stunned for a moment.

"Bo Yuan, why did you come so fast!" Zhang Ji asked in a daze.

"I received a letter from Uncle Li and the others, saying that Uncle, you are seriously injured and dying, so let me bring a team to the rescue!" Zhang Xiu's face was full of black lines.

He was so anxious that he ran for several days with his army and came here almost without sleep, only to find that he had been tricked.

But a hanging heart was finally put back in his stomach, it's okay, it's okay, uncle is fine.

"You three bastards!" Zhang Ji's face was full of black lines, and he said how Zhang Xiu arrived not long after his letter was delivered.

Even if it was because the civil engineering corps had paved more than half of the road, it would not have arrived with a large army in such a short time. It turned out that these three bastards had spread the news falsely.

"Old Zhang, old Zhang, don't be angry, you are afraid that Bo Yuan will not catch up!" Fan Chou smiled.

They weren't too anxious at first, but they received news that the Parthian Empire was being beaten violently by the Roman Empire.

The snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins, he misses this village, but the shop disappears, and then he makes a bad plan, sending people to spread false news, tricking Zhang Xiu to come here day and night.

"Hmph!" Zhang Xiu didn't say anything, instead he was filled with his uncle's ease, but Zhang Ji kept a dark face, smashed the wine glass on the ground, and dragged Zhang Xiu to leave the table angrily.

"Old Li, we seem to have offended Lao Zhang badly this time!" Fan Chou scratched his head, they did whatever they wanted, but now they saw Zhang Ji's face, and realized that they seemed to have gone too far.

"Isn't it his own plan to turn his nephew over?" Li Que also scratched his head, wondering why Zhang Ji was so angry.

"Old Zhang treasures his nephew. Zhang Boyuan came so fast. I'm afraid he didn't even take over the affairs of Liangzhou. I'm afraid he won't be able to get away with the crime of leaving his post without authorization!" What's wrong with being angry.

"Why don't you apologize to Lao Zhang!" Guo Si had a headache.

They also felt that what they did was unethical, and they didn't care about anything at the time. Now that they think about it, this letter might have directly cut off Zhang Xiu's future.

"Qi, Lao Zhang's concern is chaotic. At worst, Anxi will be destroyed, and all the credit should be given to Bo Yuan!" Li Que also reacted, and said with a guilty conscience.

"But having said that, this boy Boyuan is really damn interesting. He came here in such a short time. It seems that he didn't hesitate for a moment!" Fan Chou was amazed.

"Why don't we take the flying bear to Boyuan? It's okay to give it to Lao Zhang!" Guo Si had a new idea.

"It's not impossible!" Li Que rubbed his chin, and said that Zhang Xiugen was young and popular, and he valued love and righteousness. Now he is still the number one warrior of their Xiliang Army, so it is reasonable to give Fei Xiong to Zhang Xiu.

"Then it's decided. After taking Boyuan to destroy Anxi this time, let Boyuan take Feixiong!" Guo Si also touched his chin, thinking it was a good idea.

When I saw Zhang Xiu last time, his level was not good enough, but it is estimated that Zhang Xiu's level should be able to keep up with the destruction of the Anxi Empire this time.

"Then let's talk about it, drink and drink!" Fan Chou grinned.

Besides the battalion commander, Zhang Ji was scolding Zhang Xiu angrily.

"Confused, your uncle, I still need you as a junior to worry about. If you leave your post without permission, you are almost destroying your own future!" Zhang Ji hated the fact that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

He really wanted Zhang Xiu to come, but he meant to let Zhang Xiu go through the formal process, at least go to Chang'an to ask for instructions.

Zhang Xiu sneered, he didn't care about these things after reading the letter.

"Uncle, don't worry, before I leave, I sent someone back to Luoyang to communicate!" Zhang Xiu whispered.

"Hey! I hope Junshi Jia can say something nice for you!" Zhang Ji sighed, he also knew Zhang Xiu's temperament, and even he didn't expect Li Que and the others to do this, it was inevitable that Zhang Xiu would be fooled.

"Since you're here, come with us to rest in peace, and make up for it by making some military exploits!" Zhang Ji instructed Zhang Xiu.

He wasn't really worried about Xiliang's problems. Although Ma Chao and Pang De were young, ordinary miscellaneous Hus were far from their opponents. Even if Zhang Xiu left, nothing would happen if Ma Chao and Pound were still there.

But what Zhang Ji didn't expect was that Ma Chao also ran away.

The arrival of Zhang Xiu also made the pre-war preparations more hasty. When Wan Peng returned with a group of Qiang people, Li Que and others immediately set off with food.

The marching speed of the army was not very fast, but when they arrived near the city of Parthia, the war between Rome and Parthia had not yet been decided.

"An Guijia, is this the Anxi Empire you're talking about?" Li Que asked, pointing at Taixifeng in the distance with a strange expression on his face.

If his eyes hadn't deceived him, then the so-called Parthian Empire seemed to be about to be beaten to death by some kind of Roman Empire.

Originally thought that the battlefield took place in Anxi, and the role played by the Anxi Empire should be the Han Dynasty, but I did not expect that the role played by the Anxi Empire was the Huns, and they were the Huns who were about to be beaten to death.

Under the blessing of the cloud, Li Que's eyes clearly saw the Roman barbarians who had already charged up the wall of the Parthian City.

It looks completely precarious and will be captured at any time. Can this kind of peace really be called an empire?

"This Daqin is not good either, why does it look like it's not as good as Anxi?" Fan Chou complained.

"Yeah, why does it feel completely different from what we imagined?"

And based on Li Que's observations, it seems that the two sides that are fighting seem to be all rookies, and the strongest is just a dual-talented army, which is simply pecking at each other.

Although the dual-talent legion is already the elite of the elite among the kingdom's forces, Li Que thinks that the so-called empire must have at least two army soul legions, right?
Looking at the Central Plains, there are more than two military spirits who died, one ascended first and the other a white horse.

But Li Que and the others thought it was reasonable. When they slaughtered the princes and nobles of Chang'an, Chang'an's army was just a group of dual talents.

Probably the same as the original Han Dynasty, it is also in civil strife.

After all, the Han Dynasty during the period of civil strife is completely different from the newly established Xinghan Empire. The dispersion and condensation of forces are almost two concepts.

Just when Li Que and the others were looking at the two sides in the war unscrupulously, the Roman scouts also saw them. After careful investigation, they found that it was an army of nearly 10 people. When the Roman scouts quickly moved Reported the information to the commander-in-chief of the Roman army.

"What? An unidentified army is approaching? Anxi's reinforcements? Guishuang? Or the Huns?" The commander of the Roman army, the Eastern Duke of the Roman Empire, Ganassis asked in horror.

"It's not clear yet! But it shouldn't be the Huns, the appearance is very different!" The scout analyzed rationally.

They have seen the Huns. In addition to fighting the autumn wind in the Western Regions and Liaodong, the Huns sometimes also act as mercenaries and come to Anxi to fight the autumn wind.

"It's troublesome!" Ganassis frowned. He didn't bring many elites with him this time. He just brought a hundred thousand Roman barbarians to harass him.

I didn't expect to break into Anxi King City directly. I was going to take it all at once, but I didn't expect Anxi to have reinforcements.

"Pass my order, continue to attack the city, and the reserve army is on guard!"

Ganassis did not give up the siege. This time he was lucky, and he didn't know what troubles happened inside Anxi, which allowed them to defeat Ctesiphon so easily. If Cetsiphon could be defeated, he might be able to go back and compete for the Roman emperor. .

Eldest brother not to mention second brother, there is internal turmoil in Anxi, and no matter how chaotic they are in Rome, he really doesn't want to give up the monstrous wealth he has obtained.

Knowing that the enemy had reinforcements, Ganassis still planned to die. Anyway, most of them were barbarians, and he didn't feel bad when they died.

In Rome, the citizen and the barbarian were two different things.

Just in case, Ganassis sent his personal guards to the rear to prevent being attacked from behind by the army that appeared.

The infantry of Ganassis' Roman Legion were all experienced and well-equipped middle-aged barbarians, as well as veterans who had participated in a large number of wars and assisted in command.

Coupled with his own personal guards, Ganassis was very assured of the safety of the rear. Even if he couldn't win, he could definitely hold him back. As long as he could break into the Parthian City, it was worth sacrificing a few barbarians.

"Yo, the new one looks like it!"

Looking at Ganassis' personal guards, Li Que raised his eyebrows, and the opponent they were expecting appeared.

"Boss Xu, I'll leave those rookies to you, but we'll take this hard stubble!" Guo Si turned his head and said to Xu Rong.

"I'll let you face him!" Xu Rong, who was observing the command of the Roman army, nodded.

Although the average level of soldiers on both sides of the war was higher than theirs, Xu Rong did not pay attention to either side at all. A war cannot be won with more people.

Moreover, the two sides are not in the same group, Xu Rong is also a commander of a large army, and he can command with his eyes closed in such a mess.

Thinking of Xu Rong squinting at Ji Jian who was following them, they still had a surprise soldier.

Compared to Li Que's dismissal, Ji Jian was a little nervous. It was his first time on the battlefield. Although he mastered the military spirit by virtue of his great achievements in paving the way to the Western Regions, he was still very nervous.

I originally wanted to come over to see the world, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting when I came up.

The battlefield with tens of thousands of people is almost full of sight, and wherever he looks, there are figures everywhere. What's worse is that because his strength has greatly increased, he can easily see the ferocious faces of the two sides who are fighting, and his heart Quite a bit hairy.

"Who are we going to fight?" Ji Jian turned to look at Xu Rong and asked in a low voice.

"Then do you still have to ask?" Li Que smiled with his mouth open.

"Naturally, all of them will be beaten!" Guo Si and the others all turned grim, they are not very kind people.

Weeding the strong and supporting the weak has nothing to do with them.

All they have to do is, I see, I conquer!
The crossbow bolts of the strong crossbow are pressed, the three three-foot short spears are backed up, the arrows of the charge are replaced with a Dawan Liang horse, put on the horse armor, and take the super spear with a length of one foot, and a spare ring sword, And a new type of sword for melee harvesting.

It can be said that this is the most luxurious equipment since Li Jue went to the battlefield.

These equipments were originally owned by Zhang Xiu's men, but Fei Xiong's soldiers went up and picked them off. A group of weak chickens are not worthy of such good equipment.

The soldiers who were picked off didn't have any complaints. After all, they were also Xiliang iron cavalry, and good things should naturally be used by the strong.

Zhang Xiu was the one who led the charge this time. When Li Que and the others expressed that they wanted Zhang Xiu to take over Fei Xiong, Zhang Ji strongly opposed it, but after a long talk with Zhang Xiu, he also fell silent.

"Uncle, I have grown up, it's time for me to protect you!" Zhang Xiu's words made Zhang Ji fully realize that Zhang Xiu had grown up.

So Zhang Ji no longer objected, and Zhang Xiu got his wish and became the spearhead of the Xiliang army's charge.

This is the tradition of the Xiliang Army, and it is also one of the secrets of the strength of the Xiliang Army, that is, the strong always charge at the forefront.

Li Que and the others were originally the front-runners, but unfortunately, if we only talk about combat effectiveness, the four of them are not very good.

After all, the four of them have not yet entered the inner qi separation.

The speed of Xiliang iron cavalry cannot be said to be very fast, but the momentum is extremely huge.

The Roman infantry in formation saw the cavalry rushing towards the horizon at a neither fast nor slow speed. They did not have the wildness of the storm, but the sense of power of the neat and flat push made the Romans raise the waves and roll The feeling of coming.

But after all, it was an infantry phalanx mixed with Roman veterans. Before the Han army rushed to the Roman legion, everyone was ready to fight.

Rows of spears spliced ​​into a continuous array of guns, all the heavy infantry were outside, looking coldly at the cavalry rushing towards them.

The simple phalanx is completely different when used by different people, just like Ganassis has almost shown the power to turn decay into magic.

Even if you pick it up with the eyes of Li Que and others, you can understand that these phalanxes are now hard bones.

"Comprehensively strengthen the frontal defense, and completely abandon the rear formation?" Xu Rong analyzed the Macedonian phalanx in Rome. It looked stupid, but it perfectly covered up the shortcomings when it was placed against the Taixifeng city wall. .

The silver-gray glow surrounded the Romans' defense lines, and the power of the clouds was also condensed on the spears.

After seeing the cavalry approaching without slowing down, almost at the same time, under the command of the veterans behind them, the Roman soldiers all lowered their bodies and pressed down their spears, shrinking their formations to prepare for defense.

The uniform movements of the Roman infantry made Xu Rong once again realize the gap in the average strength of the soldiers of the two sides.

The soldiers on the other side are completely different from the instant single talent and double talent under his command, but fortunately, they don't expect any tough battles between the soldiers of the Western Regions and the Qiang people. They rely on Xiliang iron cavalry from beginning to end.
