Sweep the World

Black oil does not actually burn immediately after being touched by sparks, and it needs to reach a sufficiently high temperature.

The black oil contained in the jar was heated beforehand, and it shook violently during the process of being thrown away by the catapult. The mouth of the jar was sealed with a burning cloth strip and was smashed open. The moment is actually an explosive situation.

The person at the center of the explosion was not exploded to the point of no bones left, but was first lased by the jars, and then covered with burning black oil.

The people around the center of the explosion were splashed with sparks, and the extreme high temperature caused burns, which was an indescribable severe pain.

There were constant fuel pipes filled with black oil being thrown into the city by Sasanian catapults outside the city. Some of the pots might be thrown at the wrong angle. They were directly hit on the city wall. After the explosion, the fire engulfed that section of the city wall. People.

Not only was an altar containing black oil smashed on the city wall, more Sassanian soldiers were accidentally injured, and some of them hit the section of the city wall that was at war, making the enemy and us into flames in an instant.

In spite of the accidental injury, Sassan's catapult unit didn't mean to stop at all, or threw out jars of black oil at intervals.

Most of the jars thrown by the catapults still fell into the city, piles of fires were irregularly distributed, and Peshawar soldiers and civilians running around were on fire everywhere.

People with fire on their bodies spread to others when they were running around. Everyone is afraid of being affected. People who are not on fire naturally want to stay away from people who have become alive.

The counterattack trend in some areas of the military and civilians in Peshawar has been interrupted, and it is in a state of self-confidence.

The soldiers and civilians of Peshawar in more areas continued to charge after being frightened with a hysterical mood.

The Persians really launched a jar of black oil into the city, proving that the rumors that they wanted to turn Peshawar into a sea of ​​flames were true.

The Sassanid army did not intend to accept the surrender, and still wanted to burn everyone to death?

There is no shortage of Peshawar soldiers and civilians who are afraid of mental breakdown, but there will also be no shortage of Peshawar soldiers and civilians who want to desperately fight for a chance to survive.

The soldiers and civilians of Peshawar were constantly pouring out from the residential areas. They were in a state of hysterics, almost assaulting with fierceness that they didn't even want to live, and launched a desperate charge.

One person can scare a large group of stupid people if they don't want their lives. If tens of thousands of people don't want their lives, the energy that bursts out is beyond imagination!

There are still jars of black oil falling down in the sky. What should the soldiers and civilians in Peshawar be like? Those who have not been hit do not look at the miserable conditions of those who were hit. Forward.

On the one hand, it is the occasional accidental injury, or the situation where dozens of people are engulfed in one accidental injury. On the other hand, the Sassanid soldiers are bearing the desperate counterattack from the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar. Under their double pressure, some soldiers really couldn't stand it and began to retreat.

If it weren't for the city wall, some of the passages that can go down are constantly people coming up, and then there are supervising teams waiting to kill the deserters anytime and anywhere, and the timid Sasanian soldiers will not just retreat.

In the area inside the city wall, the enemy and the enemy are already completely entangled into a ball.

In this situation, whether it is a Sassanid archer or a Peshawar archer, the order they get is to leave it alone, as long as the hand can open the bow, they can't stop archery.

Under the desperate counterattack of Peshawar soldiers and civilians, more and more sections of the city wall have been retaken, and even Peshawar soldiers and civilians have recoiled out of the city, but they were killed one by one by Sassanid soldiers with absolute advantages. matter.

"How far is the Han army from us?" Dospals Canaandina looked at the battle on the wall with no expression on his face. When he got the answer, his face changed: "Where are our troops?"

When the Han army came out of the mountains, it was not the first time to advance. It must be a whole team.

There were not many scouts arranged by Sassan, but he didn't spot the Han army at the first time. It was after the Han army had completed the formation and began to march, only saw the smoke and dust being rolled up.

In fact, before Li Tan ordered his troops out of the mountains, many scouts had already been dispatched in advance.

The task of these scouts this time is not to detect the enemy, but to find and kill Sasanian scouts.

The sudden appearance of a large number of Han army scouts made Sassan's scouts aware of something bad. It's just that the Sassanid scout did not find the large Han army, or even a Han army with more than one hundred troops. It was really impossible to issue a warning.

Waiting for the Han army led by Li Tan to be discovered, Sassan’s scouts are actually not much left.

In the era without radio, the scouts on the Sassan side relied on lighting wolf smoke to send police. After they lit the smoke, a large number of Han army scouts or cavalry squads came not long after they ignited the smoke, and they would face a one-sided killing without leaving.

Then, whether there are Persians staying behind, the smoke will be extinguished by the Han army.

Dospars Canaandina received the news a little later, and waited for the Han army to approach Peshawar for about 20 miles. Only after seeing the wolf smoke did he know that the Han army had appeared.

The appearance of each wolf smoke is not long, but it is enough for the Sassanid army to carry out the most basic message transmission.

"Isn't there a Han army with less than 30,000?" Dospals Canaandina didn't confirm whether the intelligence was accurate: "It should be counted more, no..."

Unclear circumstances are not a good thing for any general who leads the army, but those generals never mind thinking and speculating in a more serious direction.

"Twenty miles." Dospars Canaandina kept making fists and loosening his hands, and then clenching: "Twenty miles for the cavalry will not exceed an hour."

At present, every country in the world basically has its own timekeeping unit as long as it has a culture. It is only relative to the timekeeping method of the Han Empire, and the rest of the countries seem to lag behind.

At present, only the Han Empire reduces the time unit to seconds. For example, the smallest unit of time in the Persians is converted to the quarter hour of the Han Empire, which is fifteen minutes.

Because the timekeeping unit of the Han Empire is the most advanced, those countries that have had contact with the Han Empire naturally adopted the timekeeping methods of the Han Empire.

Sassanid and the Han Empire had a friendly period of two to three years, and a large number of Persians went to the Han Empire.

In the history of the Persians, there are records about the Han people. They actually have endless longings for the Han people. They originally had the impression of "the Han people are great, and the Han people race high." When they went to the Han Empire, they found that many places were indeed far stronger than Sassan. , It is natural to study without any psychological burden.

"It's too late?" Dospars Canaandina saw that many sections of the city wall were taken back by Peshawar soldiers and civilians. His own troops had already partially collapsed. The expression on his face changed uncertainly. He gritted his teeth and yelled: "The catapult. , Bed crossbow... No matter what, even if people go up, I want to see the entire Peshawar be engulfed by the fire!!!"

The army of the Han Empire rushed to help Peshawar, and their traces have been discovered.

Predicting how long the cavalry troops of the Han army will be able to arrive, the conclusion drawn will not take more than an hour.

Just an hour? Dospars Canaandina did not think that the soldiers under his command would suddenly rise, and there was almost no hope of defeating the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar, but he was unwilling to give up.

"It won't be just an hour!" Dospals Canaandina took a deep breath: "Have our chariots and cavalry encountered the cavalry of the Han army?"

Before that, Dospals Canaandina had sent troops, three thousand chariots and 13,000 various cavalry.

This Sassanid mobile unit is not in the wrong direction. They are directly facing the Han army approaching Peshawar. If there is no accident, it will run into a head-on collision with the Han army in about half an hour.

It is foreseeable that the Han army will definitely engage with Sassanian chariots and cavalry units. Then it depends on how long the Han army can reach the Peshawar battlefield, and it depends on whether the Han army will win, and how long it will take to win.

Dospars Canaandina’s own estimation is that the own troops sent to fight the Han army are not miscellaneous soldiers. Even if they cannot win, how can they hold the Han army for at least three or four hours or even longer?

"General..." Erbredas Shales hesitated: "The situation is unknown, so just stop the siege or withdraw the troops?"

Dospars Canaandina knew that Erbredas’s advice was very stable, but he hacked Erbredas Sals directly with a knife, and shouted angrily: “There will be more shaken military spirits. Who, this is the end!"

The Sassanid generals took a step back subconsciously.

Erbredas Sals is not a cat or dog. The Sals family can be regarded as a middle-class nobleman in the east. They just said a word, which is still a very pertinent suggestion. He has been lying on the ground and has been convulsing constantly, just to rescue him. , The left shoulder and neck down so big and deep wound, it is estimated that it will not be saved.

"Hahaha!" Dospars Canaandina said, looking at the generals with different expressions, "The Han army has appeared and fled? It looks like they are all cavalry. How do you want to die?"

No one said anything, but when they learned that the Han army was approaching, they were indeed panicked for a while.

Mainly, the record of the Han Empire is terrible!

After the re-emergence of the Han people, they are moving from this victory to the next, and the countries or nations that oppose them are disappearing one by one.

The last time Sassan gathered so many allies, even the Romans dispatched three legions, but they suffered an unexpected defeat in the territory of Hunet.

In the battle in Hunet, the coalition forces fold in nearly 180,000 people. The Sassanian side is considered to be a great one, and they fled back to 20 to 30 thousand. The rest of the allies... the Romans got annihilated. There are more similar middle-sized countries and small powers, and the Hunnet simply got a tragic ending in name only.

How much did the Han army be dispatched at that time? I heard that there is not a particularly elite Han army.

This time, they knew that there were Habayashi troops in the Western Expedition Army of the Han Empire, and there were three standing troops on the front line.

They were assigned to send Doro. Before and after they set off, they actually felt fortunate. They thought that facing the rule of the Xiaoyue people, Jidara was far easier than fighting directly with the Han army.

The early invasion made them feel that their ideas were not wrong at all.

Even if the attack on Peshawar didn't go well all day and night, and even the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar showed a resolute will to resist, they still didn't feel much pressure.

now? The attack of the Han army changed everything, even because of the resolute resistance shown by Peshawar, the situation became worse, and everyone's mood was bad enough.

"I can't beat the Han..." Dospars Canaandina said nothing, shook his head before continuing: "At least let Jiduro pay an unbearable price for their choice! "

No one in the generals had much reaction.

Dospals Canaandina was about to have an attack, so he endured it, and said: "First solve Peshawar, or wait for the Han army to really kill...Haha!"

This time the generals can be regarded as responding. They also have brains. They know that fighting in only one direction is definitely far easier than facing an enemy in two directions.

It didn't take long for the Sassanid army to siege the city with unprecedented momentum.

Mainly some generals came to the front. Most of them are nobles, and the nobles are still very deterrent to the Persians. Many soldiers come from the fiefs of a certain noble. If the soldiers don’t fight hard, they will become more than just themselves. As simple as fighting to death, relatives in the hometown will also be implicated.

The imposing Sassanian army broke out, a group of them who were clearly threatened by the nobles, plus those nobles who had promised to make great promises, they were both intimidated and lured.

In the same desperate state, the Sassanid army is definitely much more "efficient" than the Peshawar military and civilians~www.wuxiamtl.com~ One side is an empire level and at least has soldiers who have received military training for a period of time, and the other side is a small country widow. The civilians are mixed with the military and civilians, and in the same desperate state, at least Sassanian soldiers know **** people better.

Sassan's side began to be fierce, but the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar had to fall into a state of morale after entering the hysteria. Gradually, the battle of the city wall began to turn around again.

This time the Sassanid soldiers are no longer just to occupy the city wall, but to go down to the city when they have the opportunity to catch Peshawar soldiers and civilians as much as possible.

After gaining momentum, the morale of the Sassanid soldiers was clearly increasing. Some of them hung up clay pots, which contained black oil. They didn't take any weapons, so they started charging directly with torches.

At the highest point of the palace fortress, Luhmaru Jidu used the telescope borrowed from Ma Bin to watch the battlefield, shaking his hands, and his voice also trembling: "Can't hold it..."

The military and civilian offensives of Peshawar that have repeatedly flowed out from residential areas have been blocked, and even part of the retreat has occurred. The facts have once again proved that sometimes it is not enough to be afraid of death. hammer……
