"Online Games: Lords of All ()" Find the latest chapter!
In the city of Baghdad in the Persian Empire, the Persian player lord Ardashir led the last force to defend it.
Outside the city of Baghdad, hundreds of thousands of nomadic cavalry and Persian servants besieged the city. The enemy troops were so dark that there were three layers inside and three layers outside, and the sky was invisible.
The general who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Baghdad was Guo Kan, the siege general of the Mongolian Empire, who was called "General Dongtian" by the Persians.
In more than ten years, Guo Kan successively captured hundreds of cities in the Persian Empire, causing the Persians to suffer a lot.
The city walls of Baghdad are majestic and towering. However, wars are raging and smoke is rising. The most advanced city walls are riddled with holes, and corpses of Persian soldiers are everywhere.
"General Dongtian" Guo Kan set up thousands of trebuchets outside Baghdad, many of which were Xiangyang artillery.
Countless trebuchets stood tall, throwing tens of thousands of stone bullets into the city of Baghdad every day, almost razing the city to the ground!
Tuo Lei led the rebel generals from various civilizations to block the city gates and block Aldashir inside the city, without any reinforcements.
"The Great Khan is already fighting the Western Expeditionary Army of the Great Xia Dynasty in the Turan Lowlands, and is trying to capture Baghdad as soon as possible. This city has been blocking us for several years."
After Tolei reached his peak and obtained Temujin's characteristic "God's Whip", he enslaved the servant army, but it was a matter of course.
"Please let the Eight Banners soldiers and horses give the Persians the final blow!"
Nurhaci took Dorgon, Azig and other generals to ask for help from Tuo Lei, who was in charge of the Il Khanate and many small khanates.
Fight for the Golden Family and gain more territory.
Bahram Chubin, the rebel general of the Persian Empire, knelt in front of Tuo Lei: "Please let the Great Khan let the last general lead the army to attack Baghdad!"
A group of rebel generals and surrendered generals from the Persian Empire asked for orders: "We are asking for a fight!"
Wokuotai and Tuolei enfeoffed the Khanate on a large scale to win over people's hearts.
After Tuo Lei attacks the Persian civilization, he must establish a Persian Khan, but Tuo Lei has not decided on the candidate yet.
These surrendered generals of Persian civilization all aspired to become the new Persian emperor.
Although this new Persian emperor had to succumb to Tolui's knees, he was still an emperor, not a general.
"Chubin, you lead the Persian army to capture Ardashir alive and bring an end to this protracted war."
Tuo Lei finally decided to let Chu Bin, a traitor to Persian civilization, lead 200,000 Persian surrender troops to launch a final attack on Baghdad, which was already in disarray.
"yes!"
Bahram Chubin stood up, tall and tall.
Like the royal boar Shahbalaz, he was a general of Persian civilization and both were ambitious. Historically, they all rebelled against the Persian King of Kings.
Two hundred thousand Persian soldiers gathered in front of Chu Bin.
Hundreds of gold-level to emperor-level Persian generals were assigned to Chu Bin's command.
"General Dongtian" Guo Kan looked at the group of Persian generals indifferently: "Thousands of trebuchets and ballistae will cover your attack on the city. If the city cannot be conquered, then all of them will be executed."
Two hundred thousand Persian soldiers surrendered in awe.
Among the armies of Wokuotai and Tuo Lei, Tuo Lei's army was more inclined to massacre the city.
Many Persian generals had to work for Tou Lei because their families fell under the control of the Mongolian cavalry, or to avoid being massacred.
In other words, if Baghdad cannot be captured this time, the "General of the East" in the eyes of the Persians may really kill 200,000 Persian soldiers in a rage!
Chu Bin couldn't help sweating: "We must defeat the King of Kings, capture him alive, and offer him to the Great Khan."
Guo Kan nodded with satisfaction, and then commanded the trebuchets and ballistas to launch a new round of offensive against Baghdad!
Huge stones and fireballs were thrown into the sky, thousands of trebuchets attacked at the same time, and hundreds of thousands of Persian civilians worked together to attack the city of their own civilization!
The whole city of Baghdad is shaking!
No city can withstand the bombardment of thousands of trebuchets, not even the famous generals who defend the city!
Thousands of Roman ballistae fired a volley, and the thick crossbow arrows penetrated the city wall of Baghdad.
The clods of earth spilled!
Rows of crossbow arrows were fired, and even on the city wall, a wooden ladder made of thick crossbow arrows was formed!
The fireball burst around the Persian Emperor Ardashir, and the undead army held a shield to block the splashing flames!
Aldashir's temples were already turning white, and he looked at the endless enemy troops attacking the city with his sword, feeling powerless.
"Your Majesty, there are only a thousand infantry of the Undead Army, two thousand cavalry of the Undead Army, and only... five hundred of the Holy Fallen Cavalry. The Arabs are resisting the Crusaders, and the Great Xia Dynasty is beyond their reach."
"That's all."
Ardashir was much more haggard than the last time Chu Tian joined forces with him.
The civil war in the early period of Persian civilization was sandwiched between the Arabian, Ottoman, Seljuk, Khwarezm, and Kushan empires. In the later period, the Ilkhanate took away the Khorasan region of Persian civilization, which greatly damaged the national power of Persian civilization and the West. The lord launched another crusade.
"Kaicheng surrenders, waits for the opportunity, and recovers Persia."
Ardashir recalibrated his strategy.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to live and die with this city!"
The Persian generals who followed Ardashir to defend Baghdad were all filled with indignation.
They fought against the Torre for more than ten years, but Ardashir gave up resistance because they could no longer hold on.
"There is only one city left, and even a saint-level commander cannot hold on to it. Kaicheng."
On Ardashir's order, the gates of the nearly razed city of Baghdad were opened.
This huge city originally had a population of one million, but after the city fell, there were only less than 200,000 people left.
Ardashir and a group of Persian generals were captured by tow mines.
Ardashir glared at Chubin and other traitorous generals who volunteered to be driven by the Torres in exchange for power and status.
"The ancient Persian civilization was destroyed in one fell swoop..."
At one of the city gates, Mingguan, who participated in the siege of Baghdad, looked at the ruins of Baghdad, which was besieged by the famous siege general Guo Kan and bombarded by thousands of trebuchets. Baghdad was in ruins.
Among the ancient civilizations, ancient Persia and ancient Egypt were attacked and destroyed one after another.
Although Persia, Egypt, Arabia, and the Ottomans were adjacent to each other, these civilizations did not form an offensive and defensive alliance, and were flanked by Eastern and Western civilizations. They would only be defeated one by one.
"Finally, we can march eastward."
It took Tolei more than ten years to finally solve the powerful and troublesome enemy of the Persian Empire, and he set his sights on the eastern part of the map.
As long as a Persian Khan is appointed to governor the Persian troops and horses to guard against attacks from the Western Crusaders, then the rest of the troops can follow Tuo Lei on the Eastern Expedition.
Wokuotai has already broken out into a war with Chutian in advance.
"Father Khan, I request to lead one hundred thousand cavalry as the vanguard!"
Tuo Lei's eldest son, Meng Ge, volunteered.
"Hulagu, you stay in Persia. Kublai Khan, you follow Meng Ge and lead one hundred thousand cavalry as a vanguard to the Seljuq Empire."
Tuolei left Hulagu, the most talented military among his disciples, to guard Persia and guard against Alexander.
Although Torei and Alexander divided their spheres of influence, no one knew whether the Crusader Alliance that Alexander joined would attack Persia in the name of holy war.
Between countries, there are only eternal interests but no eternal friends.
"My child will surely defend Persia!"
Hulagu guarded the Persian region and was based in Baghdad.
Chu Bin and other Persian generals complained a lot.
They originally thought that the governor responsible for mobilizing Persian troops and horses would be selected from among the Persian generals. However, Tolui was not at ease about the Persian region and directly appointed his son Hulagu to guard the Persian region.
Alexander has occupied the Caucasus, destroyed Armenia, Georgia and other small countries, and plans to join forces with the Crusaders in Damascus, which was occupied by the Arab Empire.
This means that the Tole's sphere of influence will border the western lords.
This is also the source of Tuo Lei’s uneasiness.
The Western lords are as cunning as the Eastern heroes.
Any promise, agreement, or treaty may be torn up.
In the twenty-second year of the Lord's calendar, Baghdad, the last great city of Persian civilization, was in ruins under the fierce attack of "Eastern General" Guo Kan, and Ardashir, the king of kings in Persia, was destroyed.
Ancient civilizations disappeared one by one, but instead of being destroyed, ancient China became the overlord that destroyed other civilizations.
Goryeo, Persia, Armenia, Georgia, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Huns Empire, the Seljuk Empire, the Kushan Empire... each civilization was destroyed, and the remaining civilizations either became hegemons or were on the verge of being destroyed.
The Japanese shogunate was in dire straits, and the kingdoms of Dai Viet and Egypt, the royal cities of Thang Long and Cairo were attacked and forced into exile.
Tuo Lei began to participate in the vigorous Eastern Expedition of the Golden Family, sending two sons, Meng Ge and Kublai Khan, to lead 100,000 cavalry, with the goal of recapturing Temujin's lost Mobei.
Groups of soldiers and horses were resting in Persia. The main force of Tu Lei planned to restore morale, replenish weapons and food after the destruction of Persian civilization, and then go to the battlefield in Central Asia.
In the Kingdom of Armenia, Alexander the Great recruited the locally influential Mamikonyan family and incorporated the Kingdom of Armenia into the Macedonian sphere of influence.
"It's time to join forces with other Eastern Crusaders in Damascus as planned and drive the Arabs back into the desert. As for Persia, which is occupied by tow mines... if there is a chance in the future, it will also be my territory."
Alexander's ambitions went far beyond the territory divided with Tore.
At this time, the Western Expeditionary Army of the Great Xia Dynasty was already at war with the Golden Family army of Wokuotai.
Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and the green light struck out, killing a thousand Turkic families under his horse!
Blood splashed on Guan Yu, and Guan Yu finally regained the feeling of the battlefield.
