Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 458 Infrastructure Madman, Shocked Xerxes

Outside the city of Sucia, the Persian warriors gathered continuously had already excited the ancient king of Maria.

Sucia's palace was already filled with generals from various dynasties and provinces.However, among these people, there is only one person who can live in the harem that is almost plated with gold.

But this person is just an old man who looks very old.

At this time, apart from going to see more and more soldiers outside the city every day, what the ancient king of Maria had to do every day was to offer his opinion in front of Xerxes.

And this general Xerxes didn't seem to be tired of King Maria's disgusting words, and would chat with him for a while with a smile every time.

This also made King Maria even more proud.Even, compared to before, the head is raised higher.

After all, Anxi is not a country with strong centralization like Qin.It took almost two months for Arshak's order to spread throughout the dynastic provinces and to gather soldiers.

Two months later, when 30 Anxi soldiers gathered together, all of them looked at their leader with a tinge of enthusiasm.

"Set off."

However, just when they were expecting Xerxes to say some inspiring words, the aged Xerxes, like a real old man, simply spit out a word with a low voice.

Although the soldiers were somewhat disappointed, no one dared to raise an objection.Because, that person is the great general of their Parthian Empire, Xerxes.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy sound of horseshoes sounded on the barren land.

As I said before, the Anxi people are a nation on half horseback. Among the 30 troops, there are more than 20 cavalry.

Especially under the leadership of Xerxes, the momentum of these cavalry was not even lost to the original Huns.

"What's that?" Facing the strong sunlight, Xerxes narrowed his eyes, pointed at a thick black smoke in the sky and asked King Maria.

Hearing this, Ancient King Maria also shook his head in doubt, and said, "It seems to be on fire. But, there shouldn't be a city there!"

"Really?" Xerxes squinted his eyes, then waved his whip and said, "You are waiting for my order here! Guards, come with me!"

The aged Xerxes, as if he had become a young man at this moment, took the lead, leading more than 1000 cavalry, and rushed towards the direction of the black smoke.

"The enemy is found in the southwest! The previous guess is correct, evacuate immediately, and report back!"

On the high beacon tower, a general of the Qin army, who looked like a team, roared downward.

Soon, in a small beacon tower, several soldiers of the Qin Army rushed out, leading their horses.

The team was discovering Xerxes, and Xerxes would naturally notice the beacon tower burning with black smoke.

Looking at the unique beacon tower, Xerxes had a slight interest in his eyes.

"Catch them, I want to ask for information!" Xerxes ordered his guards, pointing to several Qin army scouts running towards the east.

"Obey!" The guards whipped their horsewhip suddenly, increased their speed by a few knots again, and chased in the direction where the Qin soldiers were fleeing.

But Xerxes and the guards of the brigade stopped in front of the beacon tower.

"It's an interesting building. It's a pity that such craftsmen come to participate in the war." Xerxes said with a sigh while supporting the seamless beacon tower.

Soon, the sound of horseshoes was heard again in the distance.However, to Xerxes' surprise, the guard returned empty-handed this time.

No, it should be that he only brought back a few pairs of armor, and a long sword with a sword.As for people, I didn't see a single one.

"General, they launched a desperate counterattack, we can only deal with them." The guard lowered his head and handed the armor and sword in his hand to Xerxes.

Xerxes nodded, took the armor and sword Changge from the guards, and said, "Exquisite weapons, although slightly heavier than our armor, but our swords are not as sharp as theirs."

"General, it seems that to the east of us, we have another opponent no less than Rome!" the guard said with some concern.

Xerxes nodded, his cloudy eyes showed a hint of shrewdness.

"Your Majesty's judgment is not wrong. Fortunately, I am here, otherwise, with those proud guys in Taixifeng, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop it at that time!"

The guards lowered their heads again. In the heavily hierarchical Parthia Empire, only people like Xerxes could say such things.

"Let's go, we have to give the enemy a hard blow before they react!" Xerxes handed the armor and other things in his hand to the guards, and turned the horse's head and said.

Soon, the Anxi army, which had stagnated, set off again.However, they hadn't even traveled a few miles.In the far sky, black smoke appeared again.

Moreover, this time there was more than one black smoke, there were three in total.

"You guys! Go and have a look!" Xerxes frowned, pointing to the guards who set out with him earlier.

"As ordered!"

The guards responded and came back soon.However, this time, all the guards had a strange look on their faces.

"Say!" The frowning Xerxes snorted, obviously, his expression was not very good.

"General, it is the same building as before. Moreover, it is almost exactly the same as the previous one. Not only that, the villain climbed up to that building and found that there was also black smoke in the distance..."

"Has our whereabouts been discovered?" Xerxes lowered his head and pondered.

However, soon, he did raise his head again suddenly, and asked the ancient king Maria behind him, "Where is the nearest city!"

In just an instant, Xerxes changed from a gentle cat to a bloodthirsty lion.

The ancient king Maria was overwhelmed by such a huge change, so he could only reply tremblingly: "There is a city in the east and a city in the north, and they ride fast!"

After listening to what King Maria said, Xerxes immediately roared: "Let's go!"

Although the Parthian Empire or the entire West does not have a set of well-formed war theory textbooks.However, with decades of experience in the battlefield, Xerxes knew that his plan to sneak attack while the enemy was unprepared had failed.

If a city cannot be captured before the enemy is ready to defend, it will definitely deal a serious blow to morale.In the future, it will be even more difficult to fight against those enemies.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The thunderous sound of horseshoes echoed on the ground.

When Xerxes arrived at the so-called nearest city with tens of thousands of light cavalry, he was once again stunned by the sight in front of him.

"Which bastard repaired the city in front of me!" Xerxes asked, staring at the ancient King Maria with red eyes.

It's just a small city, but it has a high wall, and an urn city was built in front of the city gate.Not only that, but extremely wide ditches were dug.

Is it necessary for such an inconspicuous small town to be so luxurious?
"General, general. This city was not like this before! There are no ditches, and there is no strange thing in front of the city gate!" King Maria waved quickly.

"Go north, to another city!" Xerxes made a decisive decision and ran north again.

However, when he arrived, a more exaggerated city appeared in front of him.

But this time, Xerxes didn't even have the anger to get angry.He could only grit his teeth, waved his hand, and signaled to his subordinates to evacuate first.

As Xerxes, a Parthian, in his impression, it is impossible to build a city without a few years of preparation.Even a reinforcement like this would take more than a year.

However, the two cities in front of them are not only reinforced, but even have so many more defensive buildings.There are also small smoking buildings, almost all of which are made of stone. How much manpower and time does it take?
Is it because the craftsmen in this country are extremely developed, or is their manpower sufficient?

After much deliberation, there are only two explanations in Xerxes' mind.

However, what Xerxes didn't know was that these were only the outermost cities.

And as the base camp of the Qin army facing the Parthia Empire in the future, Mulu City, the original capital of Marchiana, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Since Yingzheng woke up and wiped out the rebellion of the six countries.The leaderless Mohism was annexed by the empire.

In front of the Gongshu family and the Mohist institutions with bronze openings and wood and stone walking, these are just trivial matters.
