Sweep the World

A night battle...

At the beginning of the battle, the scene was spectacular. The Sassanid siege troops were still aggressive. In the past about an hour, siege soldiers climbed to the top of the city, but they were hacked to death before they could stand still.

After an hour or so, Sassanid soldiers went up to the city's head, but they repeatedly failed to clear a section of the city wall and were killed by the Peshawar garrison who had a numerical advantage.

When Sassan's two siege towers were finally pushed up, the siege war was considered to have entered a wonderful moment.

The defenders of Peshawar naturally knew the threat of the siege towers. When the two siege towers were within the shooting range of their bows and arrows, the defenders slammed the rockets, but the rockets either failed to nail or nailed them. Can ignite a siege tower.

After a "crunch" noise, the siege tower was pushed to the edge of the city wall.

When the siege tower approached the wall, the Persians burst into cheers.

In contrast, Peshawar’s defenders kept asking for help in horror.

On the top of the siege tower, two assembled wooden boards were pushed down and placed on the female wall of the city wall.

Two bumps between the wooden planks and the soil, which were not too loud, opened the prelude to the fiercest battle in this night battle.

The defenders of Peshawar were naturally swarming. The Sassanid soldiers also rushed out of the siege tower in the tide. The dumbfounded state was squeezed up.

On the other hand, Sassan’s city-breaking hammer had been hitting the city gate a long time ago, but they suddenly discovered that the city gate cave had long been piled up with debris, and it was particularly muddy. The entire city gate was completely blocked.

A large number of Peshawar defenders were attracted by the two siege towers, and the troops behind seemed to have not been supplemented in time, resulting in an insufficient number of defenders in certain sections of the city wall. In fact, there were not many Sassanid soldiers using ladders to attack the city. Hurry up, even some Sasanian soldiers who have been in a state of confusion have been pushed up from the Siege Tower.

More and more Sassanid soldiers were on the wall. Some Peshawar garrisons in some sections of the wall were killed, but the new Peshawar garrisons were not in place.

After the battle lasted about two and a half hours, the western battlefield of the siege tower was dispatched, and the Sassanian army controlled more and more sections of the wall, and there was a tendency to successfully occupy the western wall.

This situation was changed when an armored army joined the battlefield.

The iron armour of the royal family is very close to Ah San in terms of armor style, but there are some more Greek styles. For example, it is obviously an infantry armor but has a skirt. At the same time, the protective plate of a pair of combat boots is from the ankle. It extends to the knee position, but the thigh is unprotected.

Their iron armor is scaled on their ribs, belly, and shoulders, but their chests are made of iron plates with a leather sheath behind them. This style of iron armor is not like a sleeve-like armor, and there is no flexibility when it is worn.

The sleeve-shaped iron armor is a human-shaped tortoise shell. After putting it on, it can make the movement of the upper body without moving the feet. Generally, only some joints can move, and the rest cannot be bent slightly. Whether this armor is strong or not, it's cumbersome, but it's certain.

For a small country like Jidoruo, it is extremely luxurious to have 800 armored armies. What's more extravagant is that this group of armored armies has more than an outer layer of iron armor, but also wears a set of chain armor!

Three hundred iron armoured troops climbed up the city wall from various passages. The iron armours in the front row were dull in one hand while holding a short spear. Lift off the shield once and stab a short spear in one step. If someone who knows Europa's tactics is present, they will recognize the Greeks' tactics.

There are also some people who don't wear armor in the armored army. They are usually shorter and thinner. Everyone is carrying a bamboo basket with short javelins. They are flexibly interspersed in the formation gap of the Iron Armor, seizing the opportunity to throw the javelin in their hands.

The Sassanian army siege of the city, depending on whether it was dressed as a sassanian trump card, even the armor-piercing people were very few, and they looked like military officers.

The remaining defenders supported by the Iron Armored Army, after they burst into cheers, they seemed to have been beaten up. The original helplessness and hesitation were gone, and they were replaced with more fierce energy than before.

The reinforcements are not limited to the Iron Armored army. Needless to say, ordinary soldiers, there is also a female army that specializes in playing bows and arrows.

"We send to Doro people. Not only men are brave and good at fighting, women can also kill enemies." Luhmaru Jiduo said to Ma Bin with pride: "Look at them. They are so flexible. Every time you shoot an arrow, Can shoot a Persian!"

Ma Bin had long noticed that the archer in the green robes, seeing that the weapon was a small horn bow, looked very special in both physique and height.

That group of women soldiers did not only have small horn bows, they also had a short knife with a handle and a sheath of about 30 cm around their waist... or a dagger?

Some women's soldiers drew their daggers to fight after the Sasanian soldiers approached. Seeing them flexibly dodge the weapons wielded by the Sasanian soldiers, and seeing that they can always pull the sassanids with a dagger when they are running, jumping, and rolling on the ground. They should have received this kind of training specifically for fighting. .

Of course, it is not only the Women's Army that can kill and kill the Sassanian soldiers. In fact, after the Sassanian soldiers are forced to go up, if they can endure the dagger violently, even if they don't hack or stabbing a woman's army, the heavy force will be strong. It made them keep backing or simply fall down.

Ma Bin asked curiously: "How many armies like these in your country?"

Luhmaru Jidu said triumphantly: "One thousand. All of them are selected at a very young age, and only one of 30 girls can be left."

Ma Bin actually doesn't understand what's so proud of? The idea on the side of the Han empire was that unless the men all over the country died out, or else one would get a woman to fight on the battlefield desperately.

However, Ma Bin has nothing to despise.

Not every country is the Han Empire, or it should be said that not every country has a sufficient population base.

Some countries are small countries with few people, and under the premise that there are not enough men, there is nothing to be blamed for training women to become fighters.

If the source of troops is not enough, don't you want to increase your troops? Both men and women can fight on the battlefield, and even appreciate the resilience and bravery of this country (nation).

"They..." Zhou Yan said without any emotional fluctuations: "If you continue to fight, you will soon die."

The battle on the city wall was in a space with a width of only three meters. The women's army of Shidara received training more like open terrain, even in a complex environment like a forest, but not suitable. In this kind of force squeezed into a battlefield.

"Their deaths will arouse our greater determination to fight!" Luhmaru Jiduo has a portable translator, and he said firmly with a face: "It has always been like this!"

Ma Bin and Zhou Bian looked at each other and both nodded in agreement.

Whether you admit it or not, men have the instinct to protect the weak, and women belong to the weak group in the eyes of men and need to be protected.

When the ascension to the national stage, a man sees women of his own nation dying continuously on the battlefield, and he will never feel better, especially when he is a soldier.

If Luhmaru Jiduo sent female troops to kill the enemy and at the same time to motivate his fighters, then he can be said to have succeeded.

The defenders of Peshawar, they cheered for the appearance of the women's army, they would be happy to see the women's army kill the invaders.

The picture changed to the maiden army being squeezed and retreating continuously, one after another slender maiden army fell under the invader's butcher knife, and the Peshawar's defending army became distraught.

"With the death of a hundred'Sama', in exchange for those men to show greater determination to fight the enemy desperately..." Luhmaru Jiduo did not feel any guilt: "Isn't it just a wise man? What will the leader do?"

Ma Bin remained silent no matter what he thought.

Zhou Bian moved his lips, thinking that this was Peshawar and that he was not a Han on the battlefield, so he declined to comment.

If in the Han Empire, any leader dared to do such a thing, it was not that the Han women appeared on the battlefield for uncontrollable reasons, or were driven to die. The intention was to inspire the desperate determination of their own fighters? Regardless of whether this is right or not, not only will the public opinion have to be sidelined, even if the result of the war is victory, it will inevitably be held accountable by the court and even the emperor.

The Peshawar garrison began to "violently". They shouted, as if they felt shame, or burst out of unprecedented courage, and rushed towards the nearby Sassanid soldiers.

Ma Bin saw that a new armored army was assembled on the inner city wall, and he glanced at the expressionless Luhmaru Jiduo without leaving a trace, and concluded: "The Lord Jidoruo... is at least one knowledgeable person. Lord of the soldiers."

The Peshawar defenders who entered the "violent" state in the west became stronger, and they were once again supported by the Iron Armor, killing or squeezing the space of the Sassanid soldiers who had attacked the city wall little by little.

Peshawar's defenders became stronger, and the Sassanid soldiers who were on the offensive side naturally fell in morale.

The Sassanid soldiers were excited collectively just now, and once thought that the result of the battle for the city wall would be their own victory.

Morale is invisible and intangible. In fact, it changes repeatedly with the development of the situation. Once the morale is high, even the cowardly people will become brave, but once the morale is low, the brave people will also become cowardly.

In this battlefield, at least in the battle on the west wall, a new situation is emerging on both sides due to changes in morale.

The Sassanid soldiers who were on the city wall earlier experienced excitement and believed that they would definitely be able to win. Then when the Peshawar garrison fought back frantically, they played dirty tricks, waiting for the Peshawar garrison to start "violent" and wondered if they could win. They were excited for a while and doubted themselves, and the situation was obviously unfavorable. He was forced to retreat by the Peshawar garrison, but in fact he kept retreating while hesitating.

The first Persian soldier who thought he couldn't win and didn't want to die on the wall jumped down from the four-meter-high wall. It doesn't matter whether he was beaten to death or not, it was because he gave other people a bad head.

When the Peshawar garrison cheered, the background was bloodshed, and the corpses were stacked on the horizontal wall of the city. In order to survive, some Sasanian soldiers who had not died jumped off the wall one after another to survive.

The fighting intensity on the west side is constantly decreasing, and only a handful of Sasanian soldiers are still climbing the ladder. The place where they can be regarded as fierce is in the area of ​​the two siege towers.

Dospals Canaandina did not withdraw the siege troops, but instead sent additional troops to various battlefields.

Failure to get an order to retreat does not mean that there were no Sassanid soldiers who fled back. One after another was captured by the supervising team and executed in a well-lit place. Then the herald repeated the call of "runaways to death", Sasanian's. Soldiers just don't want to climb the city and stay on the battlefield.

From the beginning of the siege, until the intensity of the battle became smaller, four hours passed.

"The Persians can no longer organize a more violent offensive tonight." Ma Bin has his own judgment: "Unless the previous defeated soldiers are withdrawn and replaced by new attack troops, otherwise the next battle will be bad."

Bravery is contagious, as is cowardice.

An army that has experienced **** battles, who are truly brave and daring to fight, are actually most of them consumed in the first wave of attack echelons.

If there is no victory after the **** battle~www.wuxiamtl.com~ the daring fighters are consumed in large numbers, the remaining ones will not be all cowards, but more of the type of others doing what I do, losing the driving force of the daring fighters, He also lost his confidence in victory. In fact, this force basically lost its combat effectiveness as an army in a short period of time.

As Ma Bin judged, the fiercest confrontation ended, and the long night of war that followed did not stop. It was just that after the most passionate moment erupted, whether it was because of the loss of confidence to win, or for other reasons, except for not defending. The Jidoruo people who destroyed their homes and the country, and the soldiers on the Sassan side who really couldn't retreat all started their own performances.

The so-called performance is that I roar very loudly, and I can shoot if I want to shoot, but I definitely don’t rush upwards. I still hold the thing that can block the arrow and stay in place. When I’m forced to move, I hope that I will move. If you really went up to fight with the defenders, you just killed me and I won't go!

"Do you think the Sassanian general is stupid?" Zhou Pian asked, and saw Ma Bin shook his head and smiled and revealed the answer: "Not only is he not stupid, but also very clever. Ji Duoruo left no troops outside the city, only If they can be blindly defensive, they absolutely dare not take it lightly. Once a mistake is made, it will be lost."

Simply put, it is a fatigue battle, anyway, it is to keep the defenders from being idle...
