If the city wall of Peshawar is lost, Ma Bin and others will be terrified, that is not there.
Referring to the envoys of the Han Dynasty, even when the Han Dynasty was weak in the early stage, there has never been an example of losing a teacher and humiliating the country It is under difficult and hard conditions, even if someone has a knife and axe, he does not regard death as his home, and chooses the most heroic way of death.
There is also a precedent in today's Han Empire, the Han Department was very weak in a certain period, and the envoy Murong Yan was humiliated, and the chief and deputy envoys and even the attachés all chose to fight and die.
Ma Bin is not an angel representing the Son of Heaven, and he can't even say that he represents the country, he only represents the Western Expedition Shogunate, but he knows that those are just his own doors, and the monarchs and ministers of Jidora will not be so carefully divided.
The envoys of Zhuxia may be greedy for life and afraid of death when they are concerned about themselves, but once it is involved at the national level, no matter how greedy they are for life and afraid of death, they will summon the greatest courage to keep themselves from being stinking for 10,000 years.
Eat, eat.
Drink, drink.
It should be done, but it can't be done now.
Sun Bo is in a hurry and knows the severity of the urgency, but he is just addicted.
It's just touching it and then going to get the food, this is a bit of that.
"They" Luhmarau asked, "what are they doing?"
The captain of the guard replied, "Eat and drink, and do not pick up women's clothes." ” "Oh" Lu Hemaru sent more than a little psychological burden to send his concubine, let alone to the Han people who could save their lives, and it was not that they were not given to ministers or foreign guests in the past: "No, it's different from others." ” In the past, those people basically started picking up their clothes with their arms around them, and then they started to stir no matter how many people were around.
Lu Hemaru didn't know if the Han people were reserved, or if they were nervous and ready to fight at any time.
He didn't want to speculate either, and asked, "How is it outside the city, how is it inside the city?"
” The Sassanid forces outside the city were reinforcing the walls in batches, and more than 20,000 Sassanid soldiers had joined the battlefield on all four walls.
The soldiers and civilians of Peshawar in the city are also constantly gathering and throwing themselves into the battlefield, and under the command and appeal of some civilian officials such as Minister of State Zanbutittanawa, they have begun to clean up flammable debris.
"There is a very strange phenomenon" The captain of the guard did not know whether his judgment was reliable, and hesitated: "The Persians seem to be arranging the outer front" Hearing this, Lukhmaru was in good spirits and asked, "Lay out the front" "A large number of rejected horses and other things are being laid down."
The captain of the guard couldn't see it clearly, but he had a guess: "Is it the arrival of King Qin's army, or the Han army?"
Today is the second day of the offensive and defensive battle of Peshawar City, and with the urine of the various tribes of Jidoro, it will take at least half a month to gather the men and horses of the headquarters, and it will take another seven or eight days to travel, and it will take about 20 days to reinforce Peshawar at the earliest.
"It's the Han Army."
Lukhmaru was first delighted, then worried: "Will the Han people attack immediately, they may wait until we can't support it before they attack?"
How can they all be the masters of a country, Lu Hemaru sent more empathy and thought that if he was absolutely would do it, otherwise how to reap the greatest gratitude of the rescued However, the current situation is very peculiar, the Sassanid army did not want to occupy Peshawar at all, but wanted to engulf the entire city into flames "You" Lukhmaru looked at the captain of the guard with great anticipation, and instructed: "Go and see the Han envoy again, no matter what method you use, and beg him to order the Han army to attack immediately." ” The captain of the guard saluted and wanted to leave, but was stopped by a shout.
"Wait," said Luhmarau after a moment's thought, "Go to the treasury and carry five boxes of gold coins." ” The captain of the guard nodded heavily.
"Wait," Luhmarau gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "Eight boxes of gold coins, and one more box of gems," and gasped violently.
A box of gold coins is 800 coins, and eight boxes are 6,400 coins.
It's hard to say how much a box of gems is worth, depending on when it will be sold, but at its best, it should be worth about 3,000 gold coins.
There should be about 60,000 gold coins in a year's tax revenue, but the problem is that there will be expenses after collecting taxes, and if you spend on royal expenses, raising the army, building the country, etc., 60,000 gold coins can leave a thousand coins.
After Lukhmaru sent more to the throne, he accumulated four years to get two boxes of gold coins, and the total was only 1,600 gold coins.
In the treasure house of the palace, there are twenty-seven chests containing gold coins, seven boxes containing precious stones, and the rest of the various things should be worth about 140,000 gold coins, but this is the accumulation of the royal family in the past hundred years In many cases, Lukhmaru was proud rather than ashamed of the royal family's poverty, which meant that at least every ruler did not extort money from his subjects.
He also knew that the life of the previous lords was not extravagant, and the money must have been used to build the country, otherwise it would not be so much savings.
It must be said that the successive lords of the royal family are indeed good, especially for the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar, so that when they were invaded by other countries, the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar united to resist.
If there are too many royal bastards, the army will naturally be ordered to resist, but the civilians will not do their best even if they are forced, and there will really be no unity.
At this moment, the organized Peshawar army and civilians are constantly charging in a mood of almost despair.
They had been told that the Persians wanted to set fire to the city, and that the Persians had rejected the king's request for surrender.
Others are also saying that there were people who surrendered to the Sassanid army and were immediately killed.
The spread of the Sassanid soldiers' refusal to accept surrender was true or false, and it was true that someone saw it with their own eyes, and more often it was arranged.
The enemy wants to set fire to it, and is unwilling to accept it, even the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar who do not want to fight hard before surrendering should understand the reason for not fighting for their lives after learning of such a situation.
No matter how angry and frightened they are, they don't want their families to be burned to death, although they are very likely to die if they rush forward, but they really can't do it if they don't work hard.
The soldiers and civilians of Peshawar charged one after another, and the momentum looked very magnificent, but in fact, it frightened the Sassanid army.
"Hold on" "Archery, grass mud horses, hurry up and shoot arrows" "I can't stand it, I can't stand it" "The arrows are running out, hurry up and resupply them" The Sassanid soldiers in the city had been overwhelmed by the Peshawar army and civilians, and the battle began to dominate the battle for the walkway of the city wall.
The first Peshawar soldiers and civilians to launch a counter-offensive were carrying fire oil, and they smashed the altars and jars into the siege equipment that they could approach, and the people with torches threw them over.
I really had no choice but to pounce on it and use a fire fold to light it, and then I became a fire man because my clothes were stained with fire oil.
The battlefield was full of fires, the enemy and the enemy were fighting, and some of the unlucky people were squeezed into the fire, some ran out, and some were buried in the fire.
Those who ran out, they hugged people when they saw them in an extremely frightened state, hugged the enemy and died together, and hugged their own people to accompany them to death.
As the first Peshawar soldiers and civilians to counterattack, according to the original plan, they were able to retreat by burning or destroying the siege equipment of the Sassanids.

While they were waiting for the order to retreat, a large group of people in the rear rushed up hysterically.
The order to retreat was delayed, but the new arrivals informed the Persians that they were going to set fire to the city, and explained that there would be no retreat, either all of them would die here, or they would repel the Persians, or they would not want to live.
Retreat is death, under the solemn report, it is not that there are no Peshawar soldiers and civilians who fled on their own, they were warned by a wave of arrows by the overseers when they ran near the residential area, and if they continued to escape, they would be shot on the spot.
He was not shot, but when he passed, he was arrested and found a conspicuous place to cut off his head.
Rushing forward and not repelling the Persians is not to think about living is fully proved by cruel military law, unless they are so frightened that they really have no ability to think, otherwise who is generally willing to die at the hands of the enemy rather than their own people on the premise of knowing that they will die.
Dospaers Canaandina kept frowning at the battle of the city wall and said, "They know about our preparation of fire oil. ” Peshawar's counterattack was so resolute and hysterical that it would never have been gratuitous, and the Peshawar military and civilian counterattack was too chaotic to look like a planned and orderly counteroffensive.
"They're fighting back."
Dospars Canandina, a battle-hardened Sassanid general, knew what to choose in the face of such a situation: "It's a pity" In the current battle situation, the best choice for attack and defense is actually to retreat, lay traps to lure the defenders out of the city and fight, it is best to annihilate them, and it will definitely interrupt the momentum of the defenders.
If you can't annihilate them all, continue to avoid their edge, and wait for the momentum of the defenders to decrease.
The above choice is the best, and at the same time, it can avoid huge casualties on your side, that is, Dospals Canaandina has no choice at all.
"The Han army will soon join the battlefield" Dospaers Canadina ordered: "Increase the troops, and then go up to each wall with 2,000 men on the west wall and put in the undead army" More than 23,000 soldiers were engaged on this side of the Sassanid army, and the number of troops added by 2,000 to each wall reached 31,000.
In fact, the city wall of Peshawar really does not accommodate so many soldiers, most of the Sassanid soldiers are actually outside the city, craftsmen are busy building climbing equipment and crane equipment, soldiers are climbing the city wall in batches to participate in the battle, which means that most of the soldiers are in a state of ineffective combat effectiveness.
The Sassanid soldiers who actually fought the Peshawar defenders on the front line should have only about 12,000 people, and they were four or five thousand more than the Peshawar soldiers and civilians, but they still lost some sections of the city wall under the desperate efforts of the Peshawar defenders.
The two armies are fighting, one can fight but the morale is average, the other may not be so capable of fighting but has desperate ruthlessness, once there is not a one-sided battle, the casualties on both sides will be very large.
From the first military and civilian counterattack in Peshawar to the past hour or so, more than 4,000 people on both sides have fallen on the battlefield as a corpse, and many more have been wounded.
Such a fighting situation can be regarded as very tragic, but the battle situation is still in a stalemate.
Of the 4,000 people who fell, it was estimated that seven or eight hundred were on the Sassanid side, and the rest were soldiers and civilians from Peshawar.
Now it is the Sassanid army that has the advantage of relying on the city walls; The Peshawar soldiers and civilians ascended the city from the inside, and there were some convenient passages, but it was impossible for the Sassanid army to let go of the passages, or even use the fixed passages to kill Peshawar soldiers and civilians in large numbers.
The bitter confrontation continued, and the severity of the confrontation increased as time went on.
"Persistence" Bu Erzan yelled: "They have already started to be on women" It's not a picture of children inappropriate, it's that a large number of women have appeared among the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar, and they are rushing up with rudimentary weapons, even empty-handed.
In fact, the vast majority of women nowadays are really not good-looking, and most of them have dark skin and rough relationships.
What can be good-looking are those who do not have to participate in labor, are not exposed to the wind and sun at home every day, and learn some women's skills such as dressing up, cultivating temperament, and so on.
It's not good-looking, Sassanid soldiers just have a sentiment of pity and pity, and seeing a dark, thin, and obese person has nothing to do with the beauty of women anyway, and they usually wield their weapons first without recognizing men and women.
Zhou Wei, who was standing next to the window and holding a telescope to watch the progress of the war, had just told Pao Ze that the female militia had been dispatched to Peshawar, and when he saw the heavy casualties, he said: "It seems that you have not undergone serious training, and if you go up, you will be sent to death." ” At present, only the Han Empire in the known world trained women when training people, but the Han Empire did not send women to the battlefield, because of the tragedy of the Wuhu Rebellion, and military skills training for women.
"The Persians have divided their forces to the northeast."
Zhou Wei found that this situation was actually a mental shock: "Our army should be approaching" Outside the city, some catapults that had not had time to be sent into the city were already being installed by Sassanid soldiers, and jars of clay pots filled with black oil were also brought up.
The Sassanid army had originally considered pushing a sufficient distance inside and outside the city to launch clay pots filled with black oil into residential areas.
They had indeed discovered the Han army, and at least 10,000 or more Han cavalry suddenly appeared from the mountains in the northeast, forcing them to change their battle plan.
"Put" The sling knife was struck by a giant hammer, the pendulum of the catapult swung forward, and the clay pot with the incendiary cloth strip was thrown into the sky.
The location of the royal palace in Peshawar, the bell is ringing again, very quickly, and it gives people a bad feeling when they hear it.
The first clay pot was thrown into the city of Peshawar, about 120 meters inward of the city wall, and when it fell, it smashed the soldiers and civilians of Peshawar who were charging forward, and the next moment it was a bang, and the fire instantly engulfed a large number of people:
