A night battle At the beginning of the battle, the scene was spectacular, and the Sassanid siege force was still quite imposing, and it took about an hour for the siege soldiers to climb the top of the city, but before they could stand firmly, they were hacked to death and thrown under the city.
An hour or so later, Sassanid soldiers went up to the city, but they failed to clear a single section of the wall, and were killed by the outnumbered defenders of Peshawar.
When Sasanian's two siege towers were finally pushed up, the siege battle was considered to be in full swing.
Peshawar's defenders naturally knew the threat of the siege towers, and when the two siege towers came within range of the bow and arrow, the defenders fired rockets, but the rockets either failed to nail them, or they failed to ignite the siege towers.
After a "crunching" sound, the siege tower was pushed to the edge of the city wall.
As the siege tower approached the edge of the wall, the Persians erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
In contrast, the defenders of Peshawar were constantly calling for help in panic.
At the top of the siege tower, two assembled planks were pushed down and placed on the female wall of the city wall.
Two not-so-loud bumps of planks and dirt kicked off the most intense engagement of the night.
The defenders of Peshawar naturally swarmed in, and the Sassanid soldiers also rushed out of the siege towers in the tide, and the narrow battle area was crowded for a while, with people in the front row constantly falling, and those in the back probably being squeezed up in a state of confusion.
On the other hand, Sasanian's city-breaking hammer had been hitting the city gate for a long time, but they suddenly realized that the city gate hole had long been full of debris, and it had been specially brought in mud, and the entire city gate hole was blocked at all.
A large number of Peshawar defenders were attracted by the two siege towers, and the troops behind it seemed to have not been replenished in time, resulting in a shortage of defenders in some sections of the city wall, and the Sassanid soldiers who used ladders to attack the city actually did not rush much, and even some of the Sassanid soldiers who had been in a state of confusion had been pushed up at all, they just climbed numbly, and then numbly killed or were killed or killed when they went up the city wall.
More and more Sassanid soldiers went up the walls, and some of the Peshawar defenders were killed, but the new Peshawar defenders were not in place.
After about two and a half hours of fighting, the Sassanid army controlled more and more sections of the city wall in the western part of the siege tower, and there was a great tendency to successfully occupy the western wall.
This situation was changed with the addition of an ironclad army to the battlefield.
The ironclad army of the royal family, from the armor style, is very close to Ah San's side, but there are some more Greek styles, such as the armor is obviously an infantry armor but has an armor skirt, and the protective plate of a pair of combat boots extends from the ankle to the knee, but the thigh is not protected.
Their iron armor consisted of two ribs, scales on their stomachs and shoulders, but iron plates on their chests and leather sheaths on their backs.
This style of iron armor will not be like sleeve-like armor, and once you put it on, you will not have much flexibility at all.
The sleeve-shaped iron armor is a human-shaped turtle shell, and after wearing it, it makes the movement of turning the upper body without moving the feet, and generally only some joints can move, and the rest of the parts cannot be bent slightly.
Whether this armor defense is strong or not is another matter, but it is a certain thing that it is bulky.
For a small country like Jidoro, it is extremely luxurious to have 800 ironclad troops, and what is even more extravagant is that this group of ironclad troops not only has a layer of iron armor on the outside, but also wears a set of chain mail inside Three hundred ironclad soldiers went up to the city wall from various passages, the ironclad army in the front row was sluggish in one hand and held a short spear in the other, the shield and the shield were on each other, the short spear was stabbed out with each shield slightly opened, and the whole formation was a step to open a shield and poke out a short spear, and those who knew the tactics of Europa were present and would recognize it as the Greeks' way of playing.
There are also some unarmored people mixed in with the ironclads, who are usually short and thin.
Each of them carried a bamboo basket with some short-pole javelins in it.
They were nimbly interspersed in the gaps in the formation of the ironclad army, seizing the opportunity to throw the javelins in their hands.
The Sassanid army besieging the city looked like they were not wearing Sasanian trump cards, and there were very few people even wearing armor, and they looked like officers and the like were wearing armor.
The remnants of the defenders, who were supported by the Iron Armor Army, burst into cheers as if they had been beaten with blood, and their original helplessness and hesitation were gone, replaced by more ferocious vigor than before.
Reinforcements came not only from the ironclad army, but also from ordinary soldiers, and there was also a unit that specialized in playing with bows and arrows but was female.
"We are the people of Dora, not only men are brave and good at fighting, but women can also kill the enemy."
Lukhmaru said to Ma Bin with pride: "Look at them, they are so agile that they can shoot a Persian to death every time they shoot an arrow."
Ma Bin had long noticed that the archers in green robes had seen that the weapon was a small horned bow, which was very special in terms of physique and height.
Not only did the women's army have small horned bows, but they also had a short knife or dagger with a handle and a sheath of about 30 centimeters or a dagger at their waists Some of the Lady Soldiers drew their daggers to fight the Sassanid soldiers as they approached.
Judging by their dexterity in dodging the weapons swung by the Sassanid soldiers, and their ability to "pull" the Sassanid soldiers with daggers while running, jumping, and rolling on the ground, they should have been trained in this kind of fighting.
Of course, it is not only the Women's Army that can kill and kill the Sassanid soldiers, in fact, after the Sassanid soldiers are forced to go up, if they can fiercely endure being slashed by the dagger, even if a knife or sword does not kill or stab a Women's Army, the heavy force will make them constantly retreat or simply fall.
Ma Bin asked curiously: "How many troops like them are in your country?"
Lukhmaru said proudly, "One thousand."
All of them are selected at a very young age, and only one of the thirty girls can be left. ” Ma Bin actually didn't understand what there was to be proud of, the concept on the side of the Han Empire was that unless all the men in the country were dead, otherwise which round would get women to go to the battlefield to fight hard.
However, Ma Bin has nothing to despise.
Not every country was the Han Empire, or it should be said that not every country had a sufficient population base.
Some countries are small countries and widows, and there is nothing to be blamed for training women to become warriors under the premise that there are not enough men.
If the supply of troops is not enough, don't you want to find a way to increase the number of troops, men and women can go to the battlefield to fight, and even praise the country's national resilience and bravery.
"They" Zhou Wei said without any emotional fluctuations, "if they continue to fight, they will soon die." ” The battle on the city wall was in a space with a width of only three meters, and the training of the group of women who were sent to Doro was more like being suitable for open terrain, even in the complex environment of the forest, but not suitable for this kind of battlefield where the troops were crowded together.
"Their deaths will stir us up a greater determination to fight," said Luhmarau, who had a portable interpreter, with a firm face, "It has always been like this" Ma Bin and Zhou Wei glanced at each other, and they both bowed their heads 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 previous life reaches the national stage, men will definitely not feel good when they see the women of their own nation constantly dying on the battlefield, especially when they are a soldier.
If Lukhmaru sent more female troops to kill the enemy and motivate his own fighters, then it can be said that he succeeded.

The defenders of Peshawar, who cheered at the presence of the Lady Army, would be elated to see the Girl Army kill the invaders.
The picture was changed to the women's army being squeezed and constantly retreating, one after another slender women's army fell under the butcher's knife of the invaders, and the defenders of Peshawar became blind.
"In exchange for the death of a hundred Sama in exchange for the men to show greater determination to fight the enemy to the death" Luhma Rudo did not feel any guilt: "Isn't that what a wise leader would do?"
Ma Bin remained silent no matter what he thought.
Zhou Wei's lips moved, thinking that this was Peshawar, and he was not Han on the battlefield, so he did not comment.
If any leader in the Han Empire dared to do such a thing, it was not that the Han woman appeared on the battlefield for uncontrollable reasons, but was driven to die, the intention was to inspire the desperate determination of his own soldiers, and whether it was right or wrong, not only would public opinion fall to the side, even if the result of the war was victory, she would inevitably be held accountable by the court and even the Son of Heaven.
The Peshawar defenders began to "go violent", shouting, as if they felt humiliation, or burst out with unprecedented courage, and pounced on the nearby Sassanid soldiers.
Ma Bin saw that there was a new ironclad army assembled on the inner city wall, and without leaving a trace, he glanced at the expressionless Luhe Malu Jiduo, and concluded: "This Jidora lord is at least a lord who knows the soldiers. ” The Peshawar defenders, who had entered a state of "violence" to the west, became stronger and were once again supported by the ironclads, killing or squeezing the space of the Sassanid soldiers who attacked the city walls little by little.
The defenders of Peshawar became stronger, and the Sassanid soldiers, as the attacking side, naturally fell in morale.
The Sassanid soldiers were collectively excited, and for a moment thought that the battle for the city wall would end in their own victory.
Morale is something that cannot be seen or touched, in fact, it changes again and again with the development of the situation, once the morale is high, the most timid people will become brave, but once the morale is low, the brave people will also become timid.
In this battlefield, at least the battle of the western wall, a new situation is emerging on both sides because of the change in morale.
The Sassanid soldiers who had climbed the walls earlier were excited, believing that they would definitely be able to win.
Then they played dirty tricks while the defenders of Peshawar frantically counterattacked, waiting for the defenders of Peshawar to start "violent" and doubting whether they could achieve victory, they were excited for a while and doubted themselves, and the situation was obviously unfavorable, not only being forced to retreat by the defenders of Peshawar, but actually retreating in their hesitation.
The first Persian soldier who thought that he could not win the battle and did not want to die on the city wall jumped down from the four-meter-high city wall, and it didn't matter whether he was killed or not, it was a very bad start for others.
As the defenders of Peshawar cheered, in the background were rivers of blood, corpses piled up on the walls of the city, and some of the Sassanid soldiers who had not died jumped off the walls one by one in order to survive.
The intensity of the fighting in the west was decreasing, and only a handful of Sassanid soldiers were still climbing the ladders, and the fiercest fighting was in the area of the two siege towers.
Dospals Canandina did not withdraw the siege force, but on the contrary, sent additional troops to various battlefields.
The absence of an order to retreat does not mean that there are no Sassanid soldiers fleeing backwards, one after another being captured by the Overseers and executed in overwhelmed and well-lit places, and the heralds repeating the shouts of "death to those who flee", the Sassanid soldiers just don't want to climb the city anymore and stay on the battlefield.
From the beginning of the siege to the time when the intensity of the battle became less, four hours passed.
"The Persians could not organize a more fierce offensive tonight."
Ma Bin has his own judgment: "Unless the previous defeated troops are withdrawn and replaced with a new attack force, the next thing will be a bad battle." ” Courage is contagious, and so is timidity.
An army that has gone through bloody battles, those who are truly brave and daring to fight, they are actually mostly consumed in the first wave of attack echelons.
If there is no victory after the bloody battle, and the darers are consumed in large numbers, the remaining ones will not all be cowards, but more of the type of what others do and what I follow.
As Ma Bin judged, the fiercest confrontation was over, and the long night of fighting that followed did not stop, but after the most passionate moment broke out, whether it was the loss of confidence in victory, or for other reasons, except for the Jidora who would ruin their homes and countries if they did not defend, the soldiers on the Sassanid side who really could not go back began their own performances.
The so-called performance is that we roar very loudly, and the archery will also shoot, but we will never rush up, or hold the things that can block the arrows in place, and then move and move when we are forced, hoping that I will really go up and fight with the defenders, you just kill me, and I will not go "Do you think Sasanian's general is stupid" Zhou Wei asked, saw Ma Bin shaking his head, smiled and revealed the answer: "Not only is it not stupid, but it is also very smart."
Jidora did not leave troops outside the city, they could only blindly defend, they absolutely did not dare to take it lightly, once a mistake was lost. ” To put it simply, it's a fatigue battle, and anyway, it doesn't let the defenders be idle:
