The south of the city of Taixi was closed, and a piece of flattened land on the bank of the middle reaches of the Euphrates River was filled with fully armed Sassanian soldiers. This was an army about to go on a war and wait for Ardashir to review.

After all, Sassanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesian population has nearly 20 million. Even in the process of changing dynasties, the process of replacing the Abnorth of the Abnorth of the Han Dynasty, there were no large-scale natural disasters and wars like the ones in the late Han Dynasty and the beginning of Liang Dynasty, and the population did not decline. The upper, middle and lower provinces of Mesopotamia, located in the Mesopotamia Basin, are the most densely populated areas of Sassanthesanthesanthesanthes, accounting for more than half of the country's population.

So Ardashire recruited 150,000 new soldiers in just one and a half months. His ultimate goal was to recruit millions of soldiers and horses to fight against the main force of the Liang army.

But it will take several months. Ardashir was worried that the Persis defenders, who had restrained the main force of the 100,000 Liang army, would not be able to hold on for so long. Seeing that his troops had increased again, he planned to conduct a long-distance raid on the Liang army to relieve the pressure of Persis' Sulehar. He drew 50,000 veterans as this expeditionary force, intending to let them go straight in, attack the Liang army's rear along the north bank of the Persian Gulf, and sweep the cities of Shirov, Guader, Pangbo, etc. The ultimate goal was to conquer Su Pass and cut off the supply line of the Liang army's southern route. Of course, this may lead to interception by the Liang army, but this is exactly what Ardashir hoped.

At this moment, the 50,000 elite boys were waiting for Ardashir to inspect. The drums and trumpets sounded, and Ardashir rode a tall horse slowly passing by in front of the military formation. The Sassanian soldiers shouted thunder.

Ardashir finally rode his horse along the springboard and was about to deliver a speech that motivated morale before going to war. A general ran over in panic and spoke a few words in Ardashir's ear. Ardashir's face suddenly changed. It turned out that the general reported to him that the thousands of Liang army broke through the Sassanian coastal defense line from the swamp and entered the hinterland of the Mesopotamian Plain.

The deputy prime minister Rud Sabah, beside him, also knew about this and whispered to him. Rud Sabah said: "Your Majesty, although the Liang army has entered our hearts at this moment, the number is not large, so it cannot pose a big threat. I believe that the Liang army's intention is just to restrain our army and not launch an attack on their weak defense. We cannot let their intentions succeed, so we should still insist on the established actions."

Ardashir blinked and pondered for a moment, nodded in the representative of his agreement with Rud Sabah's opinion. Then he regained his calmness and continued to speak his speech. Then with a wave of his hand, the 50,000 army drove towards the northeast in a mighty manner.

The day passed quickly, and the night once again enveloped the giant city of Taixifeng. Although there were countless military camps with heavy troops around the city, just in case, all its gates were closed after dark.

Under the bright moonlight, you can see a row of patrol soldiers holding torches on the city and on the streets in the city, walking back and forth along the city walls. Even in the fields outside the city, there are teams of cyclists holding torches patrolling at night. If you stand at the top of the city tower and look down, you can see the brightly lit camps scattered around Taixi Feng City. The forces of these camps together are as many as 200,000, of course, 70% of them are newly recruited recruits.

The entire Taixi lockdown can be described as impeccable. No wonder Ardashir was able to sit safely in the palace and watch singing and dancing with his ministers at the same time.

However, there is a black area next to the Taixi lockdown, which is the Euphrates River that surrounds the city. There is not a small patrol boat on the river. This is not caused by the negligence of the Sassanian army, but it is completely unnecessary. Because in the lower reaches of the Euphrates River, there are several camps with heavy troops along the river, and iron chains are also set up. Even the Liang army's elusive semi-submersible ships could not quietly touch the Taixi lockdown along the waterway.

However, the facts are often contrary to expectations. At this time, seven or eight Liang army semi-submersible ships emerged from the section of the Euphrates River near the Taixi Wall. Of course, they did not come here along the waterway of the Euphrates River, otherwise the Sassanian army in Wucha Port would have them buried in the belly of fish, let alone the army towns with heavy troops that they would encounter when they were traveling upwards.

These semi-submersible ships also came through the Great Everglades, but they were not the Great Everglades they sailed through themselves. With their draft, even if they floated completely, they would be stranded in the Great Everglades. They were carried by Viking ships in groups to several rivers on the edge of the swamp.

Among these rivers, the semi-submersible boats are completely floating and can barely pass through. Fortunately, the lush aquatic reeds in these rivers provide good concealment for the semi-submersible boats. The most important thing is that these rivers are connected to the Euphrates waterway. When these semi-submersible boats reach a less lush area of ​​water plants and reeds, they are already very close to the Euphrates River and can already sneak in these rivers in a semi-submersible state.

There are countless rivers like this in the lower reaches of the Mesopotamian River, so it is natural that the Sassanian Army will not send people to guard each. Only a small number of range patrol patrols were patrolling among them, so they naturally could not find these semi-submersible ships immediately.

At this time, on the deck of the semi-submersible ship that floated out of the water, the Liang soldiers busy setting up crossbows. When the fireballs shot out of the crossbows rose into the air, the Sassanian soldiers patrolling the city had not noticed the number of open flames on the river surface. They were placed in front of the crossbows and lit the projectile torch.

A Sasanian general who was walking on the corridor on the city wall with soldiers suddenly found his shadow shaking, and the surrounding environment was much brighter. Before he could be surprised, a fire bomb landed on the ground less than four feet away from him. With the sound of explosion, Yu Gao's flames rose into the air and immediately wrapped the Sasanian general in the fire. He turned into a fire man and staggered and ran two steps in the corridor, leaning down to roll, but the flames were too fierce. Even if he rolled, it could not be extinguished. After rolling for two, he disappeared.

The reason why Liang Jun's crossbow cannon projectiles fell so accurately on the head of Taixifeng's city was because these crossbow gunners had repeatedly simulated and trained for this operation to target the height of the Taixifeng's city wall. The shooting parameters of various crossbow cannons are clear.

Seven or eight rounds of projectiles fell on the top of the city, and blazing flames rose, one of which was a blasting bomb. Five or six Sassanian soldiers who were two battles were injured on the spot, covering their faces and shouting heart-wrenchingly.

The city was suddenly in chaos, some soldiers shouted and shouted, while others were rushing to find where the enemy came from...
