Thousands of Han troops suddenly rushed towards the city gate, and the Sasanian soldiers who were pushing to close the city gate suddenly became panicked.
"Quick!"
"Close the city gate quickly!"
For the first time, they began to complain a little about why the city gate was so thick and heavy.
"Kill!"
It’s too late.
Although the Han army blocking the east gate was mainly infantry, there were also more than a hundred cavalry in the formation. When they decided to seize the city, more than a hundred cavalry immediately rushed towards the city gate that was not tightly closed. More than a hundred Han cavalry rushed to the city gate. There was a large gap in the city gate, enough for one person and one horse to pass quickly.
"Kill!"
The leading colonel raised his sword and fell, and a Sassanid soldier was chopped to the ground. The other Sassanid soldiers naturally had no intention of closing the door at this time. They picked up their weapons and started to kill with the Han troops who rushed in.
.
However, as more than a hundred Han cavalry charged and thousands of Han troops filed in behind them, the few dozen Sasanian soldiers at the gate of the city soon became the dead souls under the sword of the Han army. Thousands of Han troops entered the city, and the Assyrian city suddenly fell into panic. At this moment, there were only less than 5,000 defenders left in the Assyrian city, and most of them were still on the towers.
"Kill!"
After the Han army entered the city, they hacked and killed indiscriminately. Of course, they only killed the resisting Sasanians. They did not massacre the ordinary civilians who had no power to restrain them. The ordinary people saw the Han army entering.
In the city of Assyria, they basically hid in their homes, and the streets soon became deserted.
Prior to this, the Han army surrounded the Assyrian city. Except for the main force, which was all in the south of the city, there were not many troops left at the other three gates. There were only 5,000 infantry and cavalry outside each gate. The arrangement of such a minimum number of soldiers was deliberate.
of.
It seems that the Han army is at the east, west and north gates, with only 5,000 men at each location. If the Sasanians want to defeat them, it will be very easy indeed.
Little did they know, this was playing into the Han army's plans.
Liu Chan led an army of 150,000 to surround the Assyrian city, but the Han army attacked with thousands of troops, not just to surround the Assyrian city, but to capture the city.
Originally, the Sasanians thought that since these three gates had few people, they might be able to go out and attack them. If this was the case, the Han army could take the opportunity to rush in and capture the city.
But the Sassanids had not been fooled before, and they still stayed in the city.
Now the defenders of the Assyrian city have basically been killed. The thousands of defenders in the city are certainly no match for the Han army. What's more, after the Han army entered the city, they immediately sent people to the northwest gate and surrounded the northwest gate.
The Han troops outside the gate entered the Assyrian city.
An hour later.
The Assyrian city was destroyed.
Thousands of Assyrian city defenders fought with the Han army for a while, but were eventually outnumbered and surrendered to the Han army.
At noon.
On the four gates of the Assyrian city, there is a large dragon flag with the word "Chinese" flying.
The fact that the Assyrian city was occupied by the Han army does not mean that the war is over.
On the contrary, this war has just begun.
South of the city——
Liu Chan was leisurely watching Guan Xing, Zhao Tong and others as they unscrupulously hunted the Sasanian warriors led by the Sasanian God of War. Suddenly, he was startled by a burst of noise and the sound of horse hooves.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
A small school boy shouted in a hurry, and when Liu Chan turned around, he saw a Sasanian light cavalry force of ten thousand people coming from behind.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"Escort!"
"Escort!"
The Han army camp suddenly panicked. The opponent came with a cavalry force, and like the Han army cavalry, they did not wear heavy armor. They took off those heavy armors, and even the armor on the horses was removed.
Go.
This Sasanian cavalry is armed with a spear.
They rushed over from the east gate. This area happened to be an open area, because Zhang Bao and Masli were currently fighting in the wilderness to the west of the south of the city.
"Don't panic!"
Liu Chan shouted loudly, immediately took his silver spear from the guard, pointed the spear and shouted: "Meet the enemy!"
"Roar!"
The soldiers were shocked by the sudden appearance of a Sasanian cavalry, but their emperor was not a greedy person. With the emperor's command, the Han army, which was originally in a panic, quickly regained its composure.<
/p>
"Kill!"
The Sassanid cavalry, led by Prince Heros, shouted killing sounds that the Han army could not understand. They all waved their spears and went straight to Liu Chan to kill him.
The cavalry faced the infantry, and it was in such a flat and open place.
The Sasanian cavalry who had removed their heavy armor were much faster than the heavy armored cavalry at this time. With just one charge, they reached the front of the Han army's formation.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
In ordinary times, Heros may look a little weak, but this time on the battlefield, he is also a warrior. The spear in his hand can be seen stabbing left and right, even though the Han soldiers resisted desperately in order to protect the emperor.
However, Heros's bravery taught the Han soldiers that Sassanid was truly martial.
The battle situation has suddenly changed. The Chinese army, which was originally safe, has now become the forefront of the battlefield. Liu Chan is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he is the one who cannot retreat now.
The people staying with Liu Chan at this moment are mainly some counselors, such as Xu Shu, the imperial censor, Ma Su, Jiang Wei and others who joined the army.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
However, the first person to drink loudly was Xu Shu, the imperial censor who was over sixty years old. He quickly pulled out the sword from his waist and rushed in front of Liu Chan.
Liu Chan was stunned at first, thinking that Xu Shu was a counselor. But just as he was stunned, he remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was once introduced that Xu Shu was a martial artist when he was young, and he also fought with swords to the ends of the earth. When he saw injustice, he would also act chivalrously.<
/p>
Xu Shu was originally a swordsman with good martial arts skills, but he later gave up martial arts and turned to literature.
Next came Jiang Wei, who also held a spear in his hand, and Xu Shu was on Liu Chan's left and right. Although Ma Su also drew the sword from his waist, Liu Chan could tell that he was a little nervous.
Ten thousand infantry, against ten thousand light cavalry, the Han army will definitely be at a disadvantage, but Liu Chan is not worried at all. After all, the number of Han troops in this battle can be described as crushing, and he also guessed that this Sasanian force
purpose.

"Block them!" Liu Chan stood up immediately.
"Kill!"
Listening to the emperor's roar, although the Han soldiers could not resist the charge of the Sasanian light cavalry, they fought desperately against the Sasanian people.
Suddenly, there were shouts of killing from the rear of the Han army, which naturally shocked the charging Han army in the front, first of all Guan Feng, the lady who was responsible for the main attack.
"Save Your Majesty quickly!" Guan Feng saw the chaos in the rear camp and hurriedly sent troops to rescue.
Seeing the chaos in the rear camp of the Han army, in addition to Guan Feng, there was also the Sassanid king Shapur who was in crisis. Because the main force of the Han army in front suddenly retreated, he naturally knew that it should be the Sasanian army in the Assyrian city who killed him.
Come out.
"Kill!"
Shapur also shouted loudly: "The Han army's rear camp is in chaos. Come on, follow me and kill them."
Guan Xing and Zhao Tong could not understand what the Sasanians were shouting, but they could see the Sasanians being hunted by them. They were no longer chasing them, but were sprinting straight towards the Assyrian city.
Even though they were being shot repeatedly, these Sasanians still moved forward bravely. Guan Xing and Zhao Tong were a little confused at first, but when they turned around and looked into the distance, they found that strangulation had begun in the rear of their own camp.
"Not good!"
"Your Majesty!"
Guan Xing rode forward and directed his soldiers to continue chasing Shapur.
Similarly, Shapur commanded the Sasanian cavalry, which had less than 30,000 men left. They urged their horses to charge forward because he seemed to see a turning point in the battlefield, but the heavy armor made them move a little slowly. Snap!
Suddenly there was a crisp sound, and Shapur charged and shouted loudly: "Take off the armor, take off the armor quickly."
After this fight, he naturally discovered the reason why they were trapped. The Han army was faster, and their speed was due to their thick armor, so he hurriedly took off his armor while moving forward.
The armor is easy to put on, but a little difficult to take off.
However, they must be removed.
But they couldn't stop to take off the armor. They could only move forward, avoiding the falling arrows, and use daggers to take off the armor.
A quarter of an hour later.
Shapur showed his tendons, waved the dagger in his hand, and took off the heavily armored war horse. His speed immediately increased a lot.
However, this removal of armor also caused the Sasanians a lot of losses.
Because there were stray shots from the Han cavalry behind them and on both sides, in just this quarter of an hour, two to three thousand Sasanian cavalry lost their lives.
Although the lives of two to three thousand knights were lost, Shapur felt that it was worth it. If he did not take off this heavy armor, tens of thousands of them would have to answer here.
Because——
The Han army is faster than them, and they also have crossbows that can penetrate armor. If they continue to fight like this, they will have no chance to fight or retreat. Even if they want to escape, they will have no chance.
Because they couldn't outrun the Han cavalry.
It's fine now.
The loss of two to three thousand cavalry allowed them to reach the same speed as the Han army. Shapur seemed to see hope of victory.
"Kill!"
"Kill the emperor of the Orientals!"
At this moment, Shapur has only one goal, which is to rush over and kill this damn Eastern emperor.
