Due to Avro's stubborn resistance in the southern city, the British army's battle plan failed to achieve the expected goal, but Wang Fangyi was not discouraged, because he found that the Persians had already declined, as long as he added fuel to this decline, then, hehehe, Ctesiphon could be taken..... although Avro did everything possible to resist the attack of the British army, but in the dead of night, a group of British soldiers quietly sneaked under the base of the southern wall of Ctesiphon, They found a hole in the ground under the wall that they had dug during the previous tunnel battle, and then stuffed bundles of gunpowder into the hole.After they planted the explosives, they lit the fuse, and then ran like a madman to the rushing Tigris River, and with an earth-shattering bang, the southern wall of Ctesiphon collapsed like an earthquake, because Aphro, who was a little tired from the days of fighting, felt like he was flying up and flying through the clouds, and then he suddenly went dark in front of him, and he lost consciousness, and there were many soldiers of the Persian garrison who had the same fate as him, and they all took the same plane as their commanders, and when they landed, If you don't die, you're seriously injured.After the loud noise of the southern wall of Ctesiphon, the British troops on the other side of the Tigris River, quickly took the battleship, braved the choking gunsmoke, and boarded the collapsed south wall, when they landed, they found that most of the Persian soldiers were shocked to death by the loud noise, even if most of the people who did not die were seriously injured, even if they were not injured against the sky, but they were also shocked into temporary deafness, and the whole person was stupid.Massoud, who was resting, also heard the loud noise, and he immediately realized that it was over, and the Englishmen had not managed to kill Ctesiphon......
He immediately made a decision, led his cronies and remnants of the defeated army to retreat into the Acropolis of Ctesiphon, the Acropolis of Ctesiphon, roughly equivalent to the imperial city of the Central Plains Dynasty, the wall of this Acropolis is made of huge stones, surrounded by a ditch ten zhang deep and twelve zhang wide, from the bottom of the ditch to the top of the city wall as high as more than 20 zhang.Not only was the slope from the lower part of the wall to the moat steep, but it was covered with smooth stone slabs, and it looked as if no one could climb the wall over the moat.At a distance of seven or eight feet from the watchtower, there is a large drawbridge built during the reign of the old Kuth Emperor, and once an enemy comes to attack, the drawbridge is closed, and the acropolis is impregnable.The castle has three large iron gates, the first of which is carved with two giant snakes circling each other, so it is called the snake gate; The second door is carved with a pair of seated lions; There are also a pair of lions on the third door, one of them is a laughing lion and the other is a crying lion, and these exquisite carvings are calling to the heavens, calling to Ahura.
Mazda's infinite power and all-encompassing kindness.The passage between the gates is equipped with flaps and various mechanisms, and the top of the passage is covered with holes and watch holes that can kill enemies who rush in.At the same time, there are secret passages inside the castle that no one knows.This well-defended, cleverly conceived acropolis is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, proudly isolating itself from the rest of the world.The Acropolis contained a prison with dungeons, barracks, a large cistern, an arsenal, a granary, as well as a Zoroastrian temple and a number of wells dozens of feet deep, which are said to be connected to secret passages.After retreating into the acropolis, Massoud looked at the wells and sighed deeply, he understood that although these secret passages were still there, they could not be used, because there were people in the opposing camp who knew these secrets that only the Sassanid royal family knew, and if he took these secret passages, he would undoubtedly kill himself."
Atosha, if you really can't wait for reinforcements from the Romans, you can lead people to surrender to the British......"
Looking at his lover, Massoud touched the other party's cheek, "The person they want to kill is me, you're fine.....
I've already sent our children out, this time it should be in Samaria, you have to live well, find our children, raise them, and avenge my hatred.....""
Massoud......
Woowoo woo ....."
Atosha burst into tears, she hugged Massoud tightly, "I said, live together, die together, woo woo, if you go to see the god Ahura, I don't have the meaning of living alone...... her words were full of determination.Just when these two people were staging a romance drama, Wang Fangyi and they killed under the acropolis of Tai Xifeng, looking at this city within a city, Wang Fangyi was not in a hurry, "The exit of the secret passage, have you all arranged people?"
”He turned to his men and asked."
Marshal, we're all set up, unless Massoud can fly, or he'll be trapped in this little acropolis....."
The subordinate said confidently."
Hahaha, this sword of Ahura was finally blocked by my old king....."
Wang Fangyi was very happy when he heard this, "Since he is unwilling to surrender, let him nest in this small castle...""
Marshal, we can force Massoud to surrender or go on the road....."
Li Dingguo said with a smile."
Huh?
Ning Yu, tell me what you think...."
Wang Fangyi was very emotional, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is simply a juvenile version of Li Lu, well, it seems that this is the one who will inherit the throne in the future, I heard that the queen mother is choosing the crown princess for this Royal Highness, Wang Fangyi feels that if he can be this father-in-law, the wealth and glory of the old Wang family, hehehe....."
Marshal, didn't we catch the Persian mission that came back from Constantinople..... put those guys who were desperately loyal to Massoud into the city, and let him know that foreign aid was cut off by us......
Li Dingguo said with a smile, "When Massoud saw them, he should know that he had reached the point of exhaustion.....
Wang Fangyi adopted Li Dingguo's suggestion, and put the unwilling Merris and others back into the acropolis, after they saw Massoud, before they could speak, they cried loudly, Massoud quickly asked, "Merres, you, why are you, were you captured by the British, and did not go to Constantinople?"
”"Your Highness, woo woo, we went to Constantinople, and we also met Constans II, and he also sent troops to save ....."
Merris said, wiping tears from her eyes."
So, what about the Roman reinforcements?
Where did they go??
Don't they really want to help us?
I even promised Shapur to take the throne....."
Massoud said eagerly."
Hey, Your Highness, it's not that the Romans don't want to relieve us from the siege of Ctesiphon as soon as possible, it's that they were also eaten by the British...."
Merris said and told Massoud in detail about how he followed Aloisia south and how he was captured, "Your Highness, we Persia, woo woo, there is no help......"
Massoud listened to Merres's words, and collapsed on the throne, his eyes stared at the sky blankly, "Great god Ahura, open your eyes and look at your people!"
They are about to be ruled by the evil god of darkness, Dev, open your eyes......
"Massoud is a generation of heroes, after hearing the news, he knows that he is at the end of the mountain and water, has reached a dead end, after a long time, he struggled to stand up from the throne, "British, Mazdak, you want to force me to surrender, dream, I would rather die standing than live under your knees....."
After he finished speaking, he told his men that those who did not want to die with him could surrender to the British and Mazdak, as a seed for the revival of Persia in the future; If he does not want to submit, follow him to Ahuramazda.It should be said that Massoud's gang was much stronger than the two Persian nobles, and at least most of them, seeing that they could not escape, chose to commit suicide in order not to accept the judgment of Mazdak.And Massoud and Atosha, a man and woman, chose the end of their lives at Tucker.
Kisra Palace, they piled up treasures around them, "Massoud, I'm going to see the god Ahura first...."
Atosha finished drinking the poisoned wine in his hand.Massoud looked at the dead Atosha and wept loudly, and when he had finished crying, he set a fire in the palace and drank the poisoned wine, and a generation of heroes finished his life's journey in Ctesiphon.When Wang Fangyi saw the smoke burning in the direction of the palace of the Acropolis of Ctesiphon, he was excited, "It's not good, Massoud is going to self-immolate, quickly, quickly enter the city to put out the fire....."
