The city of Ctesiphon has been heavily fortified.
With such defensive measures, it would be difficult to break through the city.
Not an easy thing.
After Ma Chao pondered for a long time, he did not directly order the attack, but immediately arranged for someone to notify Vorogasis V to come and shout. Ma Chao had little influence, but Vorogasis V was the king of Parthia, and he had influence.
Fortunately, he had already planned to bring Vorogasis V with him, otherwise it would be really difficult.
Vorogasis V was brought up, but he was reluctant to go up and shout, so he was coy.
After Ma Chao saw it, he stabbed the tiger-headed golden gun in Vologasis V's body. The force increased slightly. Volugasis V suddenly felt pain in his chest. He quickly said: "I said, I will shout immediately .”
Ma Chao smiled coldly and said: "Vorogasis, you are already a prisoner. Do you think you are still a king? Now, you have a little credit for recruiting Ctesiphon, which can make your life better. . If you don’t cooperate, you can only be killed. For a useless person, besides being killed, what else do you think the outcome will be?"
Vologasis V's cheeks twitched.
In my heart, I felt helpless as never before.
This is the prisoner.
Damn it!
All this was caused by Vorogis.
If Vologis had cut off the queen early and ensured his evacuation, he would not have become a prisoner. When he thought of this, Vorogasis V was very dissatisfied with Vorogasi. Unfortunately, this traitor was also a prisoner now.
Vologasis V looked up at the city tower and said loudly: "I am Vologasis V, I am the king of Parthia. I order you to open the city gate immediately and surrender and give up resistance."
As the Pope of Zoroastrianism, Surella valued the Parthian Kingdom very much.
This is its own mother country.
Once the Parthian state was gone, popes like Surella would also be affected, because the Parthian state adopted Zoroastrianism as its state religion, and that was how Zoroastrianism came about. If the Parthian state was gone, Zoroastrianism would also lose its asylum.
Just like this, when Surela heard that Vologasis V had surrendered, he became even more angry. He loudly said: "Vologasis, if you are still the king of a country and have the dignity of a king, then It’s time to just commit suicide.”
"Now, you are bowing down to the demons of the Ming Dynasty. You are serving the demons. It is really the wrong decision."
"This is the last thing that should be done."
Surela's voice echoed on the tower, and he shouted loudly: "Vologasis V, you are dead now, you can go to heaven after death, and the omnipotent gods will forgive your incompetence. But, you If you insist on making mistakes, you will only go to hell after death, and you will definitely be punished."
Vorogasis V frowned.
It's this guy Surela.
Unexpectedly, Surella actually stood up to resist. Because of Surella's existence, Ctesiphon's strength was resisting.
Vorogasis V said again: "Surela, Parthia is the country of my king. When did you, the pope of a sect, be able to override the king? Open the city gates immediately and surrender, otherwise, you will die. undoubtedly."
Surela said angrily: "Vorogasis, you are so shameful."
After he cursed, he saw that Vologasis V was still shouting, and he was extremely angry. He immediately looked at the people below and asked: "Who has good archery skills and who can shoot Vologasis V?" Then, I will reward him with the title of Marquis."
"I come!"
Harder stepped up.
He was born a nobleman from Ctesiphon and had aristocratic blood. However, when it came to status, he was not as noble as the many generals who followed Vorogasis V to fight.
Today, Vologasis V is completely imprisoned, as are other noble leaders.
Harder, on the other hand, chose the taller one among the short ones, and he immediately emerged.
Surela looked approvingly and said: "Had, whether we can win or not depends on your efforts this time. If you can kill Vorogasis V this time, you will have done a great service and brought peace to our empire." Shame wiped away.”
Hader said solemnly: "Please rest assured, His Majesty the Pope, I will definitely hit the target."
He took a bow and arrow and aimed at Vologasis V outside the city. At this moment, Vologasis V was still talking, constantly trying to persuade Surella to surrender, and to persuade all the nobles of Ctesiphon to surrender.
Vorogasis V was very afraid of death.
If you are killed, there is nothing.
If the Parthian Kingdom surrenders, he may still be able to retain his status as a noble and enjoy a life of pampering. What's more, since the rest of the country is gone, who can say that he is the king of the country's subjugation?
Harder was also angry as he listened to Vorogasis V's rambling words. After taking aim, he released the bow string.
Buzz!
The bowstring vibrated, and the bow and arrow shot out like a meteor.
call out!
A sound broke through the air.
Vologasis V was opening his mouth to persuade when he suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air. He shivered with fright and hurriedly tried to escape. However, the arrows shot at him were so fast that he had no time to dodge and only saw a streak of light coming.
It’s over!
Vorogasis V was in despair.
At this moment, Ma Chao saw the tiger-headed Zhan golden gun in Ma Chao's hand swiping down the bow and arrow with a snap. He looked calm and said, "Vologasis, it's just a bow and arrow. What are you afraid of?"
call! call! !
Vorogasis V kept panting and panting, feeling greatly frightened.
With a grateful look on his face, he said, "Thank you, General Ma."
Ma Chao said: "I saved you just because you wanted to persuade the people of Parthia to surrender. Now that your persuasion has had an effect, continue to persuade."
Vologasis V's cheeks twitched. The persuasion to surrender had an effect, so someone wanted to shoot him. Thinking about such a thing was not very comfortable. However, Vorogasis V did not dare to refuse, and once again shouted loudly: "Surela, you actually arranged for someone to shoot me. You are really audacious."
"I am the king of Parthia."
"Now, you are leading everyone to rebel. You deserve to be damned."
"People of the Parthian Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty is invincible. Now, surrender to the Ming Dynasty immediately, everyone will be forgiven, and you will not be harmed. If you want to resist, you can only be beheaded and slaughtered."
Vorogasis V ordered: "All people, immediately lay down their weapons and surrender."
Surela was extremely angry.
Shame on you!
The behavior of Vorogasis V was so disgraceful.
The majestic king of a country has no backbone at all. Instead, he ran to the door to ask for surrender, which embarrassed the Parthian kingdom. He really didn't expect that a powerful monarch like Vorogasis V would be so disappointing.
Surela glanced at Hard, who had shot arrows twice in a row, and without exception, the arrows he shot failed.
Or be knocked down by Ma Chao.
There is no slightest threat to Vologasis V.
Surella rolled his eyes and quickly thought about how to deal with it. He suddenly came up with a plan and said loudly: "General of the Ming Dynasty, I am the Pope of Zoroastrianism in Parthia, Surella. Now, in the city of Ctesiphon is I'm the ruler."
Ma Chao looked at Su Leila on the tower and said loudly: "I am Ma Chao, the general of the Ming Dynasty. Su Leila, if you know what to do, open the city and surrender immediately. Otherwise, we will break the Taixi Feng today and kill all of you."
Surela said loudly: "Ma Chao, I have only one condition. As long as you agree, I promise to surrender."
Ma Chao asked: "What are the conditions?"
Surella's eyes were cold and stern, and she said loudly: "Kill Vorogasis. As long as you kill this man, I will immediately order a surrender. Otherwise, I, the nobles above and below Ctesiphon, would rather fight to the death than surrender." "
Ma Chao was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
What Surela said may not be true. What if Surela deceived him into killing someone and later regretted it?
Ma Chao was thinking about strategies quickly in his mind, but Vologasis V became anxious. He was afraid that he would be killed by Ma Chao, so he quickly explained: "General Ma Chao, you must not be deceived by Surela. This person is very cunning. , He broke his promise. He was deceiving you, and once you actually adopted his suggestion to kill me, in the end he denied it, and it was you who suffered the loss."
Ma Chao also had such considerations in his mind. He looked up towards the tower and said loudly: "Surela, why should I trust you?"
Surella looked like he was speaking righteously and said: "Ma Chao, I, Surella, am the Pope of Zoroastrianism. I promise now in front of everyone that I will not deceive you. As long as you kill Vologasis , everyone in Ctesiphon and I are willing to give up resistance."
"Are you going to kill me or not?"
"We just hate such traitors."
"Kill Vorogasis, and everyone in Parthia will no longer resist. Kill him."
Surela further confused.
In Surela's heart, from beginning to end, she never thought about surrendering. Now Rome was mobilizing a large army to fight the Ming Dynasty to the death. At this juncture, he could only hold on to the end and hold off the Ming Dynasty's army.
This is the only way.
surrender!
This was something Surela would never allow.
Ma Chao thought quickly in his mind and felt that he could not agree to Surela, otherwise, once he killed Vologasis V and Surela regretted it, he would have lost a person who could restrain Surela.
After Ma Chao was convinced, he loudly said again: "Surela, you have only one way now, which is to surrender on all fronts. If you resist to the death, there is only one outcome, and you will be completely killed. Your Surela's family will die." In the reckoning. All your relatives will be executed."
Surella frowned.
Somewhat disappointed.
If Ma Chao kills Vologasis V, the Parthian kingdom will not have this surrendered king, and things will be easier to handle, which can further unite people's hearts. Now, Ma Chao still retains Vologasis V to surrender, and things are even more complicated.
This was the disappointment in Soulela's heart.
Surela was unable to kill Vologasis V, nor could he bewitch Ma Chao. He shouted: "Ma Chao, even if you don't kill Vologasis, do you think it will be useful? Everyone in Ctesi Feng and I will fight to the death. . In addition, let me tell you another news, your Ming Dynasty is going to fall."
Ma Chao looked disdainful and said: "What you say is simply delusion. Today, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is unprecedentedly vast and the national power is unprecedentedly strong. You actually said that the country is going to die. What a joke."
Surela said: "This is a fact that will never change."
Ma Chao said: "Absolutely impossible."
Surella further criticized: "You Ming Dynasty invaded and attacked other countries everywhere. You even captured the queen of the Roman Empire. Now, you have completely angered the Roman Empire. The Pope of Rome has united More countries have notified countless small states to form a large alliance to attack the Ming Dynasty together. Do you think they can still resist?"
Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, with disdain in his laughter.
Attack the imperial court?
Looking for death!
Although Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others all came to fight outside, they were all with Lu Xuan. However, there is still Zhou Yu personally taking command in the country, and there is still enough power in the country.
The most important point is that with the strength of the local people, the country is not afraid of being attacked by anyone.
Ma Chao said: "Surela, it seems that you are determined not to die until the Yellow River. No matter what you say, the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of war or fighting. Today, even if you say hell, you must surrender. No surrender. , there is only one consequence, kill without mercy."
Surela blinked, a little surprised.
It didn't scare Ma Chao.
Is it possible that the threat of the Roman Empire was useless?
Surella thought for a while, and gave up the intention of shouting, and said: "Ma Chao, stop talking nonsense, if you want to attack, just come. In a word, if you want to break Ctesiphon, it is absolutely impossible. If you want to attack, just come!"
Ma Chao had already judged Surella's determination, even Vologasis V was useless. He withdrew Vologasis V and directly ordered: "Send the order, let me attack, kill directly, break Ctesi Feng .”
Boom! !
The sound of drums was like thunder, resounding outside the city of Ctesiphon.
A large number of soldiers under Ma Chao carried siege equipment and headed towards the city of Ctesiphon.
The siege of the city began. The Ming army attacked outside the city, but the Parthian nobles inside the city tried their best to resist, intending to block the Ming army's offensive. The two sides used the Taixi Feng tower as their stronghold and continued to fight.
Ma Chao looked a little solemn when he saw the fighting scene.
Ctesiphon's defense was too solid.
Very difficult to fight.
If this city was to be taken by force, it would have to cost at least a considerable amount of money.
Vorogasis V stood not far from Ma Chao and felt the coldness of Ma Chao's emotions. He suddenly said: "General Ma Chao, although Ctesiphon is the imperial capital and the place where many princes and nobles live."
"But to the west, there is also a Seleucia city, which is the western capital of the Parthian Kingdom. But now, it is a place where many races live together. If you want to capture Ctesiphon, you can capture Seleucia first and cut off Ctesiphon. Seal all supplies."
"Because most of the princes and nobles live here in Ctesiphon. Once Seleucia is cut off, Ctesiphon will be an isolated city that cannot be guarded for a long time."
Vorogasis V was afraid.
Therefore, he quickly made another suggestion to capture Seleucia.
