Chapter 66 Wrath of the God
Sun Feng wrote a letter to Ardahir, ordered people to copy hundreds of copies in Chinese and Luwen, and shot into the city with arrows. He said to Ardahir that for the people of the world, my father came to Aksumu from thousands of miles to sign an alliance with the king to protect the peace of the world. The king went back on his word. Before the handwriting of the alliance was done, he provoked the soldiers. First, he attacked Guishuang, then attacked Rome, and then surrounded the city of Aksum. He wanted to be unfavorable to me. My father and son couldn't stand it anymore. Only then did they set up an army to fight against Sasanne. Now the army is like a broken bamboo, and the cities are falling in the wind. The ancient city of Seleu, which the king has been preparing for a long time, has been captured in only ten days, leaving only Taixi to defend itself. It's not that our father and son can't capture the city of Taixi, but that our father and son don't want to cause innocent casualties of soldiers. Now that there are many wars, you should also see our strength. We can break through Taixifeng at any time. In order to avoid the soldiers using the Sassanite surname to compensate for the loss after breaking the city, I hope you can accept our kindness, put down your weapons, and surrender out of the city. Otherwise, we will be like cutting down your sons Alpha and Shap. Like the head of your brother Awad, cut off your head and hang it on the head of Sassan. It will be too late to regret it at that time.
Aldahir disdained the words in front of him. When he saw Awad's name, he was shocked. He got up and walked to the window, stared at the battlefield in the distance, and listened to the sound of the battlefield.
It was dark in the distance, and there were only a few lights of fire shadows. Like the stars in the night sky, the battlefield was silent, and the sound of fighting could no longer be heard. It was so quiet that it was suffocating.
Aldahir's heart jumped. He turned around and looked at the eunuch who had been with him. He opened his mouth, but did not make a sound. He felt an inexplicable fear, and the night wind became colder, which made him involuntarily wrap his clothes tightly.
Has Awad's 30,000 troops been eaten by Sun Shao? No, even if their strength is not bad, they will not annihron 30,000 cavalry in World War I. A few hours ago, Awad also sent a message that he would attack overnight to break Sun Shao's blocking position.
"Do you have any news?" Aldahir's voice was hoarse, and it sounded like a mouse was gnawing wood.
The eunuch looked at the unconcealed panic on Ardahir's face in surprise and shook his head.
Aldahir's expression was a little stagnant, as if he didn't know what to do. After a long time, it was not until he saw the awkward translation that he remembered that the letter had not been finished, and he hurried back to the light to continue reading.
After persuading him to surrender, Sun Feng finally said that although I am young, I have the protection of Ahura. I have won the victory and can break through Taixifeng at any time. If you are still stubborn, you can wait to accept Ahura's anger. I will defeat you in front of hundreds of thousands of people under the protection of Ahura. For the new king of Persia.
Aldahir 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: "Wait for you to fight!" Then he ordered people to take their hard bows, walked out of the palace, strode to the gate, pulled the bow, and shot the letter out.
The long arrow flew nearly a hundred steps and fell to the ground like a demonstration. It was quickly found in the camp outside the city. A knight came and did not get off the horse. He just bent down from the horse, picked up the arrow, and flew away.
Sun Feng, Lu Xun and others sat around the tent, drinking tea while arranging tomorrow's war. The news that Awad's army had been completely annihilated has been sent. They had no worries and could deal with Aldahir in Taixi's lockdown. They were much more relaxed. While drinking tea, they laughed loudly. The atmosphere was very warm.
After receiving Ardahir's reply, Sun Feng smiled faintly and showed Ardahir's handwriting to Quintus, Botjo and others.
"Aldahir doesn't know what's good or bad. It seems that only killing him can solve this battle." Lu Xun said quietly.
"Do you have confidence?" Sun Feng put away the letter and glanced at Quintus and Bo Diao.
Quintus didn't say anything. He continued to drink tea as if he didn't hear it, but he was a little impatient. He looked at Quintus uneasily. He just heard that Sun Shao had promised Quintus that he would build a bank in Damascus after the war. Although he didn't know what the bank was for, they joined hands. After all, it's not a bad thing. Quintus got the benefits, and naturally he would fully support Sun Feng. If he stopped showing himself, he might suffer losses in the distribution of post-war trophy.
"We Guishuang people naturally take the lead of the prince." Bo Ting patted his chest and said loudly, "As long as the prince orders, although I am old, I can still use a knife, and I am willing to be the first to rush to the wall."
Quintus looked up at him and picked the corners of his mouth, as if smiling.
Sun Feng arched his hand gratefully: "Thank you, King. However, how dare I work as a king? In the past few days, you have worked hard to attack the city and lost a lot, but I, a young man, have been hiding behind. I'm really sorry. Tomorrow I plan to fight in person. I will meet this Aldahir to see how fierce his Imogenous army is.
"Is the prince going to fight in person?" Quintus frowned and said worriedly, "I know that the prince is skilled in martial arts, but the battlefield is dangerous, and the swords are eyeless, in case..."
"Aldahir is rebellious, and he is angry and resentful. I have the protection of Ahura, the spirit of your boxing and the protection of countless warriors. It will be all right." Sun Feng couldn't help but interrupt the worries of Quintus and others, and decided to fight in person tomorrow. He even appointed Lu Xun as the commander-in-chief of tomorrow on the spot to be responsible for the coordination of the whole battlefield.
Lu Xun bowed and was ordered.
The Romans and the Guishuang people have lost a lot these days. Whether it is Quintus or the wave tone, in fact, they don't want to rush to the front again and lose people in vain. Now when I heard that Sun Feng was going to attack the city in person, it didn't look like a show, but I was relieved. In turn, I was a little worried about Sun Feng, so I persuaded him a few more words. Sun Feng was full of confidence and must fight. He also said with a smile that you should go back and get ready. I will definitely open the gate, and you will enter the city immediately and control the city. The situation in. It's just that Taixifeng will be my governance. Please show mercy and don't be too cruel, otherwise I can spend money to repair it.
When Quintus and Bo Ting saw that he was full of confidence, they were also happy and responded with a smile.
Lu Xun immediately explained the order of siege, what situations may occur, and how to deal with them, and how to coordinate between the armies of the Three Kingdoms one by one. The Romans and the nobles began to listen as jokes. Later, when they saw that Lu Xun spoke seriously and made sense, they did not dare to take it lightly. They listened carefully and asked again. Some details are scattered separately.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the camp outside the city began to be busy. The smoke rose from the camp. The soldiers were busy cooking. After breakfast, a team of soldiers came out of the camp and lined up in front of the city. After a few days of fighting, 30 siege vehicles were neatly lined up in front of the battle. The slaves of the cart and the soldiers with weapons were all in place, and the atmosphere of killing was forced to the lockdown of Taixi.
Ardahir did not dare to neglect. He saw Sun Feng's battle flag appear in front of the battle, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He had long estimated that Sun Feng had reached the end of the crossbow. The Romans and Guishuang had lost a lot these days, and they were a little unable to attack alone. Although the Han army did not lose much, their grain and fodder should be consumed. If they could not capture Taisifeng as soon as possible, they would only have one retreat. The road. Sun Feng's last spy was in Ardahir's opinion, but the bluff trick looked arrogant, but in fact, it revealed his inner uneasiness.
It's just that Awad's death made him feel very disappointed. Brotherhood is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is worried about affecting morale. Sun Feng shot hundreds of the same letters in one breath, just to spread the news to the city to distract the army. It can be imagined that he will definitely hang out of Awad's head today, and maybe it's possible Kill a group of prisoners in front of the battle.
He used to do such things before.
Sun Feng sent the main force to fight, which was what he had expected. He also thought of a possibility, that is, the tunnel under the city.
The authentic thing has always been the most worried thing. In contrast, he is not afraid of Sun Feng's attack the city. As long as there is a heavy armored warrior of the immortal army, he believes that no one can break through the gate, but the tunnel that has never progress is a question hanging in his mind, just like the sword hanging above the head of Dakmus, even I can't sleep well, for fear that the sword will suddenly fall.
Now it has reached the last moment. He believes that Sun Feng will definitely use this tunnel. The reason why he hasn't moved for so long may be that Sun Feng wants him to be careless, but how can he be careless?
What he is curious about is, does Sun Feng want to use the tunnel to attack during the day? Or use the fierce battle during the day to cover up the excavation of the last tunnel, and then launch a raid at night? If this is the case, then Sun Feng's death will come. How could he forget such an important thing? Thinking that Sun Feng's secret that had been hidden for a long time and the last reliance was a very clear thing for him, he couldn't help laughing. He really wanted to see what Sun Feng would look like when he knew the result, and he wanted to know what Sun Shao's expression would look like when he captured Sun Feng.
He has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and he is even a little impatient.
Maybe you don't have to wait for the tunnel. As long as Sun Feng dares to attack the city in person, he will kill Sun Feng on the wall with the unstoppable power of heavy armored warriors and destroy the enemy's morale.
Aldahir ordered that all the heavy armored warriors should be arranged at the gate of the city. At the same time, he ordered people to quietly open the obstacles behind the two side doors to prepare the light cavalry to attack.
The sound of powerful war drums sounded outside the city, and the huge siege car began to move slowly. With a solemn murderous atmosphere, it slowly came in the direction of the city gate. On a siege car facing the city gate, there was a spear, and a man's head was tied on the spear. Under the head, there was a broken war flag.
Aldahir couldn't help crying. He doesn't have to look at it. He knows that this is the head of Awad, the battle flag of Awad.
The head of the city was silent, and none of the soldiers spoke, but the eyes conveyed to each other revealed the tension in their hearts. The rumors that had been quietly spread since the night have become a living fact. Awad and his 30,000 cavalry have been annihirated by the Han people. Taixifeng no longer has any reinforcements to rely on. Ahura may I really abandoned the Sassanid family.
"Fighting--" Ardahir suppressed his anger and gave the order to fight.
The low horn awakened the soldiers at the head of the city from the low morale. Whether they wanted to or not, they clenched the weapons in their hands and stared at the approaching siege vehicles. The resistance of these huge siege vehicles is amazing. It is useless to hit one or two gun stones, and the threat to the head of the city is very great. Aldahir has now invented a weapon to deal with this siege car, that is, to make a pole from wood longer than the bridge ladder, supporting the siege car and keeping it from approaching the city wall. This tactic looks very simple, but it plays a very important role. The Romans and the Guishuang suffered a lot on it, and finally had to give up the siege.
With the sound of the horn, the head of the city began to get busy, moving the huge poles to the head of the city, adjusting the direction, and preparing to resist the approaching siege vehicles.
The sound of war drums and horns became more and more urgent, echoing each other, and the atmosphere on the battlefield became more and more tense.
The crossbow cannons on both sides began to roar, and the sporadic oil tank bullets were sandwiched in more bricks, dragging long flames, making a shocking roar in the air, fell to the ground, and then turned into a fire. However, in the attack and defense of many days, the oil tank bombs on both sides are almost consumed, which can no longer be as dense as when used for the first time, and the effect is also greater than the actual killing.
Sun Feng took the helmet from Du Yu's hand, put it on his head, pulled down the armor, took the Lingqi from Yanghu's hand, and then respectfully saluted Lu Xun and handed the Lingqi with both hands. Lu Xun took the flag with both hands, bowed back, and whispered, "Prince, be careful!"
Sun Feng nodded: "General You Lao." He turned around and got off the command platform. Thirteen knights were fully armed and stood there quietly, staring at Sun Feng. Nikolay held a snow-white tall horse in his hand. When he saw Sun Feng down, he knelt down on one leg and said, "Please get on the horse."
Sun Feng stepped on Nikolay's back and jumped on the horse, shook the reins, and shouted, "Warriors, patrol with me!"
"Eh." Yanghu, Du Yu and thirteen knights responded and turned over the horse. Yanghu held the dragonfly of the Han army. Du Yu held Sun Feng's war flag and followed Sun Feng closely. Nicholas and others sat straight on the war horse, pointed the halberd straight to the sky, and rushed out with Sun Feng's horse.
Sun Feng jotted in front of the battle. Wherever he went, there was a roar and thunder. Whether it was the Han army, the Romans, or the Guishuang people, they were attracted by the heroic Sun Feng. They held the weapon in their hands hard and made a neat sound to pay tribute to Sun Feng.
"Generals and soldiers--" Sun Feng strangled the horse in front of the battle and raised his right hand. The array that was roaring just now was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at Sun Feng.
Sun Feng raised his anger and shouted loudly, "We all have homes. People with relatives all want to have a stable and happy day, but why do we come to Taixi Fengcheng now? Because Ardahir didn't want us to live a stable life, before the handwriting of the Four Nations Alliance was finished, he provoked a war and dragged countless people into the fire and blood of war. We yearn for peace, but we are not afraid of any enemy. We have the courage to defeat any enemy. We should 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 the masters of justice. We are blessed by the true God. We will be invincible. No matter how cunning the enemy is, they have no way to escape. Even the strongest wall can't resist our anger. Let our anger burn all the enemies and turn all the obstacles into ashes.
He turned his hands to the sky, roared with all his strength: "Great Ahura, open your eyes and punish the wicked who blasphemous gods and bring disaster and death to us."
"Kill Aldahir--" Nikolay shouted with his arms.
"Kill Ardahir--" The crowd was excited, and the roar was earth-shaking, like a huge wave rushing to the head of the city.
Aldahir at the head of the city was pale and was very angry that Sun Feng pointed at him alone. He did not look back. He knew that even if someone would rebel, he would not be the people around him.
Lu Xun waved the flag in time. Sun Feng took the Teutons to take the lead in rushing to the siege car facing the gate. Chen Hai followed closely. Cao Zhang was on the left and Li Yan was on the right. The three-way people and horses were like three dragons. They rushed into the siege car in the escalator of the siege car and flew up the escalator of the siege car. After a long time, Sun Feng stood on the siege car.
Ardahir sneered and immediately ordered the crossbow gunner to aim at Sun Feng, who was hidden behind the giant shield. As soon as he appeared, he would shoot him immediately. With a pole in hand, he is not afraid of these siege cars at all now. Before cutting off these braces, the siege car is at most a shooting platform.
Sun Feng saw the situation in the head of the city clearly under the cover of the guard camp. He not only saw Ardahir, but also the long-life army surrounded by Aldahir. The elites who were heavily armored looked too conspicuous. He made a rough estimate and showed a sinister smile on the handsome face hidden behind the armor.
"Send a signal to General Lu, you can attack!"
Yanghu answered and turned around and waved the flag in the direction of the array. Lu Xun, who was in the command car, had been observing the situation here through Qianli's eyes. As soon as he saw the waving of the Lingqi, he breathed a sigh of relief, put away his eyes, and gently waved his hand.
Luo Tong raised his hand and suddenly lowered everything.
Aldahir looked at Sun Feng in the siege car and gritted his teeth tightly. Time seemed to have stopped. I don't know whether Sun Feng was thinking about the way of attack or what he was thinking. The siege car was motionless fifty steps away and had no intention of pushing forward at all. Ardahir waited a little impatiently and couldn't wait to order the crossbow gunner to kill Sun Feng now to solve the battle as soon as possible.
The siege car finally started again. More than a dozen siege vehicles slowly approached the gate. Aldahir was furious and ordered the Longsheng Army to prepare for the battle.
Fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps, just as Aldahir was anxious, he suddenly felt that the wall under his feet seemed to move, and the earth seemed to tremble. He withdrew his fierce eyes and looked at the wall under his feet in surprise.
Before he could understand, a earth-shaking sound, like a shocking Thunderbolt, shocked the whole battlefield. Almost everyone was scared away by the loud noise. They coincidentally covered their ears and focused their eyes on the direction of the loud noise.
What was displayed in front of them was a scene that they couldn't believe. The solid north gate of Taixifeng suddenly lifted up, one-third higher than before, and became very abrupt, as if a giant beast suddenly got under the gate and arched the gate.
After arching for a moment, the huge wall suddenly sank down again, and a stream of smoke and dust rose to the sky, covering the whole gate, like the giant beast rushing out of the ground, shaking off the dust on its body and flying into the sky.
The loud sound is lingering for a long time, but many people's ears have been temporarily deafened by the first sound. They can't hear these sounds or the screams hidden in the sound. They just look at the incredible scene in front of them stupidly.
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed. The originally tall and strong walls were short, and had collapsed into a mound. Countless people rolled and struggled in the mound. They cried and desperately wanted to climb out of the mound, but these mounds were no longer strong walls. When they stepped on it down, they couldn't find one at all. Stable stress point.
Countless soldiers of the Immortant Army struggled in the land and howled in despair, like pieces of meat rolling in boiling soup. The Sassanid soldiers on the walls on both sides looked at everything in front of them and were stunned there, and the weapons in many people's hands fell to the ground.
Sun Feng was also stunned. Although he knew that the power of these gunpowder was not small, he did not expect that the power would be so great. He only hoped that the gate could collapse. Unexpectedly, these gunpowder would completely turn a section of the city wall into broken ground.
"Prince, attack the city immediately!" Yanghu pushed Sun Feng and shouted. " Although he was prepared and covered his ears in advance, he was still shaken clearly. His ears buzzed, and it was not clear how loud he was. Fortunately, Sun Feng was also a little deaf at this time, and he really couldn't hear it clearly without such a big roar.
"Attack!" Sun Feng raised his knife and roared.
The soldiers of the Han army woke up and immediately became murderous.
... Ten miles away, Sun Shao sat by the river, held the fishing rod in his hand, and turned his head to look at Wei Boyang: "How much gunpowder did you bury? Why is it so loud?"
Wei Boyang smiled proudly: "The ten ships of gunpowder, not a single grain left, are all buried under the gate. I guessed that even if I didn't blow up the gate into powder, it would definitely be more than enough to blow up the gate.
"Suck--" Sun Shao took a breath of cold air with a toothache. "Have you spent a lot of money over the years, and all ten ships of gunpowder have been buried? Don't leave at all?"
"No left at all."
"Then it's impossible for me to blow it up again?"
"There's no need to blow it up again." Wei Boyang curled his lips proudly: "I dare to guarantee that no one dares to fight against me in 30 years. Not to mention Tesifeng, even if the king wanted to enter Rome, Quintus did not dare to squeak his teeth now.
"And, only technical theory!" Sun Shao shook his head and pointed to the proud Wei Boyang with his finger: "You probably really regard yourself as a fairy."
