Ma Bin and Zhou Wei, who guessed that the Persians wanted to set fire to Peshawar, first looked at each other for a while, and then stopped looking at the offensive and defensive battles of the city.
They entered the room and didn't pay attention to the salutes of the passers-by along the way, and they didn't even have time to greet some ministers who had not left.
"Please tell the lord of your country."
Ma Bin will not show the fluctuations in his heart: "This messenger has something to tell you." ” Lu Hema Lu Ji woke up early, he was busy commanding his generals, when he heard that Ma Bin came to look for him with Zhou Wei, he hesitated for a while and did not meet in the war room, but found another place.
"I believe the lord of the kingdom already knew that the Persians threw in bed crossbows and catapults."
Ma Bin didn't mean to talk nonsense, and said directly: "This envoy found that the Persians had prepared a large number of jars outside the city. ” Lukhmaru didn't understand for a while, and asked in confusion, "What does the messenger mean?"
"Catapults and bed crossbows may not have the same range as some individual ranged weapons, but they can shoot heavy objects due to mechanical forces."
Ma Bin said that the jar is over, didn't the defenders of Peshawar go to attack with the jar of canned fire oil He was surprised that Lu Hema Lu didn't even guess this: "Your army uses fire oil, and the Persians are fighting the same plan." ” Lukhmarudo's face changed a little, but he was not panicked.
"This envoy didn't understand enough" Ma Bin saw that Luhe Malu did not understand, and took a deep breath: "The Persians have prepared a large number of altars and jars.
The messenger thought that it was enough to burn the whole Peshawar to the ground. ” At this time, Lukhmaru Jiduo's face changed drastically, and he opened his mouth, closed his mouth and walked back and forth quickly, and stopped suddenly: "Sasanian has a kind of black oil, and the production is very great. ” As one of the praise paintings of the Western Expeditionary Corps, Black Oil Ma Bin still knows the existence of Black Oil.
He knew better that the Persians were rich in black oil, and that the center seemed to attach great importance to this black oil.
"It's over, they're done," Luhmarau said, visibly panicking: "How dare they?"
Although war is one of the darkest acts, there are still some scruples in many cases, such as not killing civilians when it is not necessary, let alone destroying the whole city.
Luhe Malu sent his cheeks twitched for a long time, and asked Ma Bin more suddenly: "Messenger, how do you think this king should choose?"
Ma Bin understood.
Lukhmaru was asking whether the soldiers and civilians of the city had begun to fight with the Persians regardless of casualties, or whether they had hurried to surrender.
"This messenger thought that the lord of the kingdom should bow his knees to Sassanid in order to avoid the burning of the city in Peshawar."
Before Ma Bin came, he had thought about what kind of attitude Lukhmaru would have: "It's just that the lord thinks that after the surrender, the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar, and even the ministers, they may live."
What happened to the lord of the country?"
Even if it was a palace fortress, you could still hear the movement coming from outside.
Two different horns are being sounded all the time.
The "thump" of the war drums has not stopped since the beginning of the war.
The clamor and shouts of killing were intense.
The brutality of the war has caused people to die every moment, and they have become corpses lying on the ground that gradually become cold.
Surrender or insist on resistance or something, it has always been only the superior who has the qualification to choose, and the leader can generally only passively accept the fate set by the superior.
The current situation is that once Luhmarau chooses to surrender, it will not just surrender to Peshawar and a group of soldiers and civilians in one city and one place, but because of his status as the lord of the country, it will be the entire country that will surrender.
When a country surrenders, it is inevitable that the military, civilians and ministers will pay the price, but they may not die.
However, the king is different, the price he has to pay after surrender is far greater than anyone else's, not to mention the great risk of the country's destruction and national extinction, the invaders usually do not let the current king continue to live in order to better digest the results of the war.
"Tell the Lord the truth."
Ma Bin looked at Luhe Malu, who was constantly changing his face because of his mood fluctuations, and raised his head slightly: "The strong team of the Han Dynasty has already come to the vicinity of Peshawar. ” Luhe Malu should have guessed this earlier, and even guessed Ma Bin's subtext, Sassanid can destroy Doro, and it will not be difficult to destroy the Han Empire.
"The madness of Sassanid will surely cause public outrage," Luhma Rudo yelled angrily, but at random he changed his face and said to Ma Bin with a flattering face: "Messenger, I can inform your army to attack the besieging army immediately" Lukhmaru still knows a little bit about it.
He heard that Sassanid thought that he couldn't defeat the Han Empire, so he would form an alliance with the Romans, the thousand-year-old enemy, and he brought in a large group of younger brothers.
Even the hatred of the thousand-year-old enemy is said to be thrown aside, how can Lukhmaru not know that the Persians think that the Han Empire is a far more terrifying existence than Rome.
Since they want to choose a side, they are naturally on the strongest side.
Then, Lukhmaru knew too well that no matter what choice he made, he would be invaded, and it would be no different if the Persians would kill him or the Han Chinese.
Seriously speaking, Lukhmaru knew that no matter how he chose, there would be a large army to attack, and he preferred to compete with his old rival Persians, anyway, fighting back and forth was those methods, not like facing the unfamiliar Han army, and the process of accumulating experience from blank to familiar.
"This messenger will naturally notify the army to kill immediately."
Ma Bin stopped talking too much nonsense, raised his hand and saluted, did not give Lukhmaru a chance to speak more, turned to leave, and after walking some distance, he said to Zhou Wei: "He seems to have made up his mind now, and he will inevitably waver when he waits for the Persians to make a big move." ” There are only about 50 Han people on Peshawar's side, except for Ma Bin, who is a civilian, the rest are there as guards.
However, even if Ma Bin is a civilian, with the martial arts of the Han people today, he is not an old and weak person who is powerless, and his fighting ability is much stronger than that of some soldiers.
They didn't think about breaking out or anything.
Once there is an intention to break out, it is to force Lukhmaru to have no choice, so he can only negotiate with Sassanid on the terms of surrender.
"Will they arrest us as a sign of surrender," Zhou Wei was very suspicious of what Lukhmaru would do if he was forced to do so.
He also said: "We did not have an agreed signal when we came, how can we alert the possible army to kill" "Eleven days have passed, in terms of distance," Ma Bin silently calculated: "It is the infantry army, and the farthest distance from Peshawar will not exceed sixty miles."
The cavalry must have arrived early.
It's just that how to communicate with it is really a problem. ” In fact, it is possible to run to the highest point to take the flag and play the flag, the problem is that the army outside needs to be seen.

"Since you are here, you must send people to keep an eye on Peshawar's movements."
Zhou Wei immediately said: "Whether it is to increase the confidence of Lukhmaru or to try, it must be done.
It's just that the timing is still not right. ” It was only at Peshawar's most precarious moment that the Han army suddenly appeared and defeated the Persians that it was a savior.
Before Peshawar encountered enough danger, the appearance of the Han army was just the icing on the cake, and there was no such thing as a gift of charcoal in the snow to gain more gratitude.
"Lukhmaru had already guessed that the great Han's strong army was outside."
Ma Bin is not afraid that he will be burned to death, but tells the truth: "It is no longer possible to get his sincere gratitude." ” Having said that, Ma Bin would not immediately try to summon the Han army outside the city to attack.
Lukhmaru is really grateful that the feelings will only fluctuate in a short period of time, and as a country, where can there be so many feelings.
What the Han Empire needs is not just the gratitude and gratitude of one more person sent by Lukhmaru, the appearance at the right time, the shining appearance as a savior, and more for the ordinary Jidora people.
Zhou Wei communicated with the guards of the palace fortress, and with the strong support of Lukhmaru Jido, he began to go to the highest place, holding a large flag and began to wave the flag.
Outside the city, probably in a pile of grass fourteen miles away from the highest point of the palace, Jiao Cheng had been observing the progress of the war with a telescope in hand.
There have always been scouts of the Han army who are observing the offensive and defensive battles of Peshawar, and there is no major change, but one person is dispatched every two hours to report to the rear, and of course the new situation is to report to the rear immediately.
Scout squads are generally more than three people, and no more than ten people at most.
Some of the scout squads encountered the Sassanid scouts while moving, and naturally it was a skirmish or chase.
"That's" Jiao Cheng actually looked back and forth in the same position a few times, and didn't notice it at first: "It's our flag."
Chang Bing took the telescope from Jiao Cheng's hand, looked at it for a while, and tried to identify: "It's us who is holding the flag, and he is waving the flag." ” With the productivity of the Han Empire, there is still no way to equip all scouts with telescopes, and a squad of scouts has two parts, one for normal use and the other for backup.
As a scout, they have basically learned the flag language, and many times they don't have to run far to pass on information, and they can use the flag language to pass information between each other according to the situation, which can save a lot of time.
"Sasanian oil" Chang Bing read it out while reading, and after reading it twice, he already understood what the flag over there wanted to express: "The Sassanid side is going to invest a lot of fire oil to attack the city, and he asked us to prepare for the attack according to the situation." ” Regarding the number of Sassanid troops attacking Peshawar, Zhou Wei naturally did not need to remind them, and the army that came to support them would investigate clearly, and even investigate in great detail.
"You and the mistress stay where they are."
Jiao Cheng slowly changed from a lying position to a squatting position, his head peeking out of the grass and looking around: "I'll report this situation." ” Chang Bing naturally has no opinion.
The other person, known as the little three, was lying on the ground and sleeping.
Jiao Cheng didn't stand up straight and ran with a big grin, he leaned low and tried his best to lower his position to move.
He came to the spot where he had just been observing about three hundred meters away, and entered a small forest full of bushes.
This grove is a small tree with a trunk that is not thick, and the trunk and branches are still curved, and when they are cut down, they are also valued as firewood.
In the grove were placed four war horses, all of them muzzled, they had been trained to be honestly tethered in one place.
Jiao Cheng did not immediately turn over and get on the horse, but led the horse out of the grove from the route that had been planned long ago, and entered a wilderness with dense grass and higher grass height.
After turning over and getting on the horse, Jiao Cheng also did not immediately drive the war horse to run wild, but let the war horse warm up slowly as necessary.
It's just that kind of situation, it's not necessary to really can't drive the war horse to run wild before it warms up, otherwise it will make the war horse suffer invisible damage, reduce the service life of a horse as a war horse, not to mention, at the beginning of the wild gallop will also make the war horse quickly enter a state of exhaustion, the faster the front will run slower the back, and even the tragedy of stumbling over or sudden death of the war horse.
In fact, it was not only Jiao Cheng, the scout team, who discovered Zhou Wei's flag, as long as the line of sight was not obstructed, the scout team saw it.
The scouts of the Han army could see that the Sassanid soldiers in the siege state were naturally not blind.
"That's the battle flag of the Han Empire," Dospaers Canaandina did not go up to the walls of Peshawar, he stayed in his military tent, and when he heard a report, he came out with a telescope and looked at Zhou Wei, who was standing at the top of the palace and waving the flag: "I heard that the Han people can use the flag to communicate." ” This is not a secret, countries also have relevant flags, but no country has developed a set of flags as complex as the Han Empire.
"We have Han troops around us."
There was no surprised expression on Dospars' Canaandina's face: "This is an inevitable thing, but we haven't found it, and we can't tell how many there are and what kind of troops are coming." ” It was not their scouts who discovered the arrival of the Han army, but Dospars Canaan Dina who judged the situation.
The Han Empire was fighting for Jidoro, so how could it be possible to watch the destruction of Jidoro Isn't this the case, Dospers Canaandina will not stop waving his army to attack the city after the arrival, and use harsh punishment methods to force craftsmen to work overtime to build siege equipment.
They will rush like that, regardless of casualties, that is, they know that the Han Empire will not sit idly by and watch the destruction of Sassanid and send an army to the rescue.
"To suspend the offensive," Abu Badile asked, "Are you ready for the arrival of the Han army?"
"There must be a relevant arrangement."
Dospers Canadina couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Han Empire made a decision very quickly, and the army came too early, he thought that they would have at least three days to siege the city: "There is no need to suspend the siege, on the contrary, it should be stepped up." ” One thing Dospaers Canaandina can still confirm that there is no large force of soldiers and horses of the Han Empire within twenty miles around, so even if the Han army has already approached, it will take at least more than an hour to approach the battlefield, and they still have one last hour, and they must strive to turn Peshawar into a city of flames within an hour:
