Chapter 1080

Ma Bin and Zhou Fen, who guessed that the Persians wanted to set fire in Peshawar, looked at each other for a while, and then did not look at the attack and defense of the city.

When they entered the room, they didn't pay attention to the salutes of passers-by along the way. They didn't even have time to say hello to some ministers who didn't leave.

"Please tell your Lord." Ma Bin will not show his inner fluctuations: "I have something to tell you."

Luhmaru Jiduo woke up long ago. He was busy commanding his generals. When Ma Bin came to look for him with Zhou Bian, he hesitated and didn't meet him in the combat room. He found another place.

"I believe the Lord of the country already knows that the Persians have thrown bed crossbows and stone catapults." Ma Bin didn't mean to talk nonsense. He said directly, "my messenger found that the Persians had prepared a large number of jars and cans outside the city."

"..." luhmaru I didn't understand it for a long time. I asked in wonder, "what does the messenger mean?"

"Catapults and bed crossbows may not exceed some individual long-range weapons in range, but they can shoot heavy objects due to mechanical force." Ma Bin said, didn't the Peshawar garrison attack with jars of tinder? He was surprised at luhmaru Sendo didn't even guess this: "your army uses kerosene, and the Persians are fighting the same plan."

Luhmaru Jiduo's face has changed a little, but he hasn't panicked yet.

"My messenger didn't speak clearly enough?" Ma Bin meets Lu hemalu Sendo really didn't understand. He took a deep breath: "the Persians have prepared a large number of jars and cans. This messenger thought it was enough to burn the whole Peshawar to the ground."

This is luhmaru Jiduo's face changed dramatically. He opened his mouth, closed his mouth, walked back and forth quickly, and suddenly stopped: "Sasan has a kind of black oil, which has a great output."

Black oil? As one of the praises of the western expedition, Ma Bin still knows the existence of black oil. He knew that Persian territory was rich in black oil, and the center seemed to attach great importance to this kind of black oil.

"It's over, they should..." luhmaru Send more obviously panic: "how dare they!!!"

Although war is the darkest behavior, there are still some scruples. For example, when it is not necessary, it will not kill civilians on a large scale, let alone destroy the whole city.

Luhmaru After pumping his cheeks for a long time, Jiduo suddenly asked Ma Bin, "Messenger, how do you think the king should choose?"

Ma Bin understood.

Luhmaru Jiduo was asking whether the army and people all over the city began to fight with the Persians regardless of casualties, or quickly surrendered.

"The messenger thought that the Lord of the country should bend his knees to sassanne in order to avoid the burning fire in Peshawar." Ma Bin thought about luhmaru before he came What kind of attitude will Jiduo have: "just the Lord thinks... After the surrender, the soldiers and people of Peshawar and even the ministers may live. What will the Lord do?"

Even if it was a palace fortress, we could still hear the movement from outside.

Two different trumpets were blowing all the time.

The "Dong Dong" sound of the war drum has never stopped since the war began.

The noise of shouting and killing was very fierce.

The tragic war made people die all the time and become corpses lying on the ground and gradually becoming cold.

Capitulating or persisting in resistance has always been that only the superior has the right to choose, and the leader can only passively accept the fate set by the superior.

The situation now is that once luhmaru If you choose to surrender, you will not only surrender a group of soldiers and civilians from one city to another in Peshawar, but also surrender the whole country because of the identity of the Lord of other countries.

When a country surrenders, it is inevitable that the military, people and ministers will pay the price, but they may not die.

However, the king is different. After the surrender, the king has to pay far more than anyone. There is a great risk of the destruction of the country. Needless to say, in order to better digest the fruits of war, the invaders usually won't let the current king continue to live.

"Tell the Lord the truth." Ma Bin looked at luhmaru, who was constantly changing his face because of his mood fluctuation Send more, slightly raised his head: "the strong force of the big man has long come around Peshawar."

Luhmaru Jiduo should have guessed this earlier, and guessed Ma Bin's subtext. Sasan can destroy Jiduo, and it won't be difficult to destroy the Han Empire.

"Sassanian's madness will cause public anger!" Luhmaru Jiduo roared angrily, but randomly changed his face and said to Ma Bin pleasantly, "Messenger, can you inform your army to attack the siege army immediately?"

Luhmaru Send more or know a little. He heard that sassanne thought he couldn't beat the Han Empire, so he would make an alliance with the Millennium enemy Romans, and he had a large group of younger brothers.

Even the enmity of a thousand - year - old enemy is thrown aside, luhmaru Jiduo didn't know that the Persians thought that the Han Empire was far more terrible than Rome.

Since they want to choose to stand on the side, they naturally stand on the strongest side.

And then, luhmaru It's too clear that no matter what choice you make, you will encounter invasion. It's no different whether Persians or Han people kill you.

Seriously, luhmaru Jiduo knew that no matter how he chose, there would be a large army to attack. He was more willing to compete with his old rival Persians. Anyway, he fought around, that is, those means. It's not like the process of accumulating experience from blank to familiar with the unfamiliar Han army.

"Naturally, our messenger will immediately inform the army to kill." Ma Bin no longer talks too much nonsense, raises his hand and salutes, not to luhmaru Send more opportunities to speak, turn around and leave. After walking some distance, he argued to Zhou: "he seems to have made up his mind now. Waiting for the Persians to make big moves, he will inevitably waver."

There are only about 50 Han people in Peshawar. Except that Ma Bin is a civilian, the rest exist as a guard.

However, even if Ma Bin is a civilian, he is not an old, weak, sick and disabled man with no strength to bind chickens, and even his fighting ability is much stronger than some soldiers.

They didn't want to break through or anything. Once there is an intention to break through, it is to force luhmaru Senduo had no choice but to discuss the terms of surrender with Sasan.

"Will they arrest us as a sincerity of surrender?" Zhou Bian was very suspicious of luhmaru What will you do if you are forced to send more. He added: "we didn't have an agreed signal when we came. How can we remind the possible army to kill?"

"Eleven days have passed, based on the distance..." Ma Bin silently calculated: "it's the infantry. It's no more than 60 miles away from Peshawar. The cavalry must have come nearby early. Just how to communicate with it... Is really a problem."

In fact, it can run to the highest point and flag. The problem is that someone outside the army needs to see it.

"Since he has come, he must send someone to pay attention to the trend of Peshawar all the time." Zhou Bian made a quick decision and said, "no matter how much confidence you give to luhmaru or try, you have to do it. It's just... The timing is still wrong."

Only in Peshawar's most precarious moment, when the Han army suddenly appeared and defeated Persia, could it be regarded as the Savior.

Before Peshawar encountered enough crisis, the emergence of the Han army was just a icing on the cake. How can we get more gratitude if we provide charcoal in the snow.

"Luhmaru Jiduo has long guessed that the strong team of the big man is out." Ma Bin is not afraid of being burned, but tells the truth: "it is impossible to get his sincere gratitude."

That said, Ma Bin would not immediately try to summon the Han Army outside the city to attack.

Luhmaru Sending more is really grateful, and it will only be emotional fluctuations in a very short time. As a country, where do you get so many feelings.

The Han Empire did not need luhmaru alone Send one more person's gratitude and gratitude, appear at the right time, and make a brilliant debut as a savior, more for ordinary sendoro people.

Zhou Bian communicated with the guards of the palace fortress and got luhmaru again With the strong support of Jiduo, he began to go to the highest place, hold a big flag and start to play flag language.

Outside the city, probably in a pile of grass 14 miles away from the highest point of the palace, Jiao Cheng has been observing the progress of the war with a telescope.

The Scouts of the Han Army have been observing the attack and defense of Peshawar. There is no big change. One person is dispatched every two hours to report to the rear. Of course, if there are new situations, report to the rear immediately.

The scouting team usually has more than three people, and no more than ten people at most.

Some scouts encountered the scouts from Sasan while moving. Naturally, it was a small-scale fight or pursuit.

"That's..." Jiao Cheng actually looked back and forth at the same position for several times. At the beginning, he didn't notice: "is it our flag?"

Chang Bing took the telescope from Jiao Cheng's hand and looked at it for a while. He also tried to identify: "it's our flag. He's making a flag."

In the productivity of the Han Empire, there is still no way to equip all scouts with binoculars. A small team of scouts has two, one for normal use and the other for standby.

As scouts, they have basically learned semaphores. They often transmit information rather than how far people have to run. They can use semaphores to transmit information to each other according to the situation, which can save a lot of time.

"Sashan... Fire oil..." Chang Bing read it while reading it. After reading it twice, he had understood what the flag meant: "sashan needs to invest a lot of fire oil to attack the city. He asked us to prepare for attack according to the situation."

With regard to the number of Sassanian troops attacking Peshawar, Zhou Bian naturally did not need to remind. The troops who came to support would investigate clearly, or even in great detail.

"You and Xiao San stay where they are." Jiao Cheng slowly changed from a prone position to a squatting position. His head exposed from the grass and looked around: "I'll report this situation."

Chang Bing naturally has no opinion.

Another person called Xiao San is lying on the ground and sleeping.

Jiao Cheng didn't stand up and ran straight. He kept his body low and moved as low as possible. He came to the place where he had just observed, about 300 meters away, and entered a small forest full of bushes.

This small forest is just some small trees whose trunk is not thick. The trunk and branches are still curved. If they are cut down, they will be used as firewood.

There are four war horses in the grove. They are all muzzled. After relevant training, they will stay in one place.

Jiao Cheng didn't immediately turn over and get on his horse. He led his horse out of the woods and into a wilderness with dense grass and higher grass height.

After turning over and getting on the horse, Jiao Cheng also didn't immediately drive the horse to gallop, but let the horse warm up at a necessary slow speed.

That's the case. It's not necessary. It really can't drive the war horse to run fast before it warms up. Otherwise, it will cause invisible damage to the war horse and reduce the service life of a horse as a war horse. Needless to say, running fast at the beginning will soon make the war horse tired. The faster the front is, the slower the back is, Even the tragedy of falling and falling or sudden death of a war horse.

In fact, Jiao Cheng is not the only scouting team that found Zhou Bian's flag. As long as the line of sight is not blocked, the scouting team saw it.

The Scouts of the Han army can see that the Sassanian soldiers in the siege state are naturally not blind.

"Is that... The battle flag of the Han Empire?" DOS pars Canaan Dina did not go up the wall of Peshawar. He stayed in his military tent and came out after hearing someone's report. He took a telescope to see Zhou Bian standing at the top of the palace waving the flag: "I heard that the Han people can use the flag to communicate."

This is no secret. Countries also have relevant flags, but no country has developed a set of flags as complex as the Han Empire.

"There are Han troops around us." DOS pars There was no surprised expression on Canaan Dina's face: "this is an inevitable thing, but we didn't find it. We can't judge how many there are and what kind of arms are coming."

It was not their scouts who discovered the arrival of the Han Army, it was dospars Canaan Dina judged according to the situation.

The Han Empire is fighting for jidora, so how can it watch jidora perish? No, that's it, dospars Canaanite Dina will arrive. After that, he constantly sends troops to attack the city. He also forces craftsmen to work overtime to build siege equipment by means of severe punishment.

They would rush like that, regardless of casualties. They knew that the Han Empire would not sit idly by and watch sassanne perish. Jidoro must send troops to rescue.

"To suspend the offensive..." Abu badile asked, "are you ready to deal with the arrival of the Han army?"

"There must be relevant arrangements." DOS pars Canaan Dina could not help sighing. The Han empire made a decision very quickly, and the army came too early. He thought they would have at least three days to attack the city: "there is no need to suspend the siege, on the contrary, it should be stepped up."

A little dospars Canaan Dina can still confirm that there are no large troops of the Han empire within 20 miles around, so even if the Han Army has been close to the battlefield for a long time, it will take at least an hour. They still have the last hour. They must strive to turn baishawa into a burning city within an hour!
