, all these seem to be obstacles arranged by the God of Light, in order to make his upcoming victory even greater.
"Kill all these disgrace to the empire!"
Shapur II looked at the defeated troops of Khorezm who were brought here with cold eyes, and made the wisest decision.
As soon as these words came out, the group of Khorezm in the camp were completely defeated by fear.
However, no matter how much they cried and begged, they could not change Shapur II's decision.
As the palace guards poured in, they raised their swords and fell, and the dozen or so Khorezm soldiers were completely reduced to dead souls under the sword.
"Tighten the security of the military camp, and we must not let the enemy take advantage of it again!"
Shapur II ignored these tragic corpses and said to his military minister.
"I obey your will, my lord!"
The military minister immediately ordered him to leave.
Because the little commotion caused by a series of wailings quickly subsided, the entire Sasanian Persian military camp returned to its previous quietness.
Shapur II quickly fell asleep again.
After killing the defeated soldiers of Khorezm, he slept particularly soundly.
Until the next morning, when the morning sun shone on the Sasanian Persian military camp, Shapur II had already restored his previous strong confidence.
A large number of cavalry were sent to the front as forward scouts to guard against enemy ambush.
This wise decision was soon verified to be correct.
A group of Sasanian cavalry quickly returned in a hurry and brought extremely important intelligence.
"Your Majesty, we encountered a large number of cavalry ahead, at least two to three thousand people!"
The leading cavalry general reported to Shapur II.
"Great, these stupid Easterners, do you still think that our powerful army of Sasanian Persia is as stupid as those Khorezm slaves?"
Shapur II was very happy when he heard about the enemy.
However, his cavalry generals did not have such confidence.
"Your Majesty, those Eastern cavalry are extremely powerful and are the most refined warriors. If we don't destroy them first, they may threaten our supply lines in the rear."
"There is no time to waste. As long as their main force is defeated, there will be no need for supplies from the rear. The wealth and food of Bactria City are enough."
It was obvious that Shapur II did not pay attention to the enemies ahead.
The defeated troops of Khorezm last night let Shapur II know that the number of enemies he faced was at least 30,000.
A mere two thousand cavalrymen were simply flies used to delay the advance of his own army.
The purpose was obviously to allow the Easterners to loot Bactria and then run away.
"Yes, His Majesty's wise decision has been inspired by the God of Light. If these cavalry are driven away, I am afraid that the enemy's main force will have retreated calmly."
The Minister of Military Affairs himself echoed from the side.
The cavalry generals and others did not frown upon hearing this.
They were already deeply disgusted with the flattering military minister.
Everyone felt that if it hadn't been for the instigation of this sycophant of Baluchi, Shapur II would not be so anxious to use military merit to get rid of the auxiliary government of the Queen Mother and others.
"As the King of Kings, I will lead you today to welcome the great victory given by the God of Light!"
Amid the high and pious slogans of Shapur II, the Sasanian Persian army advanced in a nearly unfurled manner.
The smoke from the march of tens of thousands of people was like billowing yellow smoke, which could be clearly seen even from more than ten miles away.
"My master, the interrogation has been completed. The Sasanian army in front is led by the Sassanid King Shapur himself!"
A few dozen miles in front of the Persian army, a Bactrian nobleman who had just surrendered from Lan's City was kneeling at Ran Liang's feet and said.
"Oh, so the front is the most elite army of Sasanian Persia?" Ran Liang said with excitement.
"In a sense, that's true," Bactenor said, kneeling.
"What do you mean? Isn't the Sasanian King's army the most elite?" Ran Liang said with some surprise.
The Bacteno in front of him was the leader of the city defense who had previously called on many Battrian people to hold on.
Under the stone and fire attacks from dozens of giant trebuchets under Ran Liang, Lan's city's defense quickly collapsed.
The leader Bactenuo and others were quickly captured. Ran Liang did not really kill these repeaters, but gave them another chance to atone for their sins.
The destruction of the Khorezm army involved the participation of these Bactrians.
"My master, the Sassanid Persian Kingdom not only has the king, but also the queen mother who assists the government, as well as the great nobles and military lords behind her. Each of them has a lot of elite troops in their hands, even with the Sasanian king. If you want to compare with our own soldiers, they are definitely not weak." Bacteno said.
"No matter who they are, it's absolutely impossible if I don't test them myself today." Ran Liang said very confidently.
Since entering the Western Regions, Ran Liang has heard how the armies of various countries are brave and good at fighting. Each of them is either powerful in the world or has dominated the world for hundreds of years.
But when it came to the real battle, the armies of these large and small countries turned out to be weak shrimps with diarrhea.
Even Ran Liang felt that the strongest troops in the entire Western Region combined were not as good as the Qiang in Longxi.
"Send my military order and all the ministries should prepare for war. When the Sasanians show up, I will give them a head-on blow!"
Ran Liang ordered loudly.
Because Lanshi City had just been captured, in order to consolidate the results, Ran Liang left most of his troops in Lanshi City to rest and recuperate, and only brought 3,000 direct Han cavalry with him.
These three thousand direct cavalry are all the most sophisticated soldiers and horses. Even if they face ten times the enemy, they are still confident enough to retreat.
Therefore, Ran Liang wanted to give the invading enemy a head-on blow, and then retreat with the victory into Lan's City for defense.
At that time, the angry Sasanians will definitely attack the city with all their strength.
And the large number of defensive artifacts in Ran Liang's hands can kill everyone.
By the time the Sassanids were at the end of their offensive, Ran Liang's troops had already rested and reorganized. With just one more powerful blow, Ran Liang was confident that he could completely crush the enemy's attack.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
When the sun rose to its highest point, there were waves of approaching horn horns coming from the front.
Ran Liang immediately got on his horse and looked ahead.
"Here we come, the thief has arrived!"
Ran Liang rubbed his hands excitedly.
According to his advance exploration, the location not far ahead is the most suitable location for the battle.
