Under the moonlight briefly covered by dark clouds, sparks flashed from time to time between the deserted hills. The sparks accompanied by roars that the Kurds and Azerbaijanis had never heard in their entire lives were displayed on both sides of the ten-mile-long post road.

The huge roar was obviously fired by the artillery of the Sabrei Army. At night, they were spraying shotguns with all their energy, pouring down on the post road with the turmoil and randomness of the pre-industrial era. When each artillery blasted, a large ball of sparks flashed.

There were stars interspersed in the middle, which were the thunder that the Shattered Ye Jun threw down during the cannons. The thunder that the burning flew towards the post road with a burning fuse, just like the fireflies on a summer night.

In addition, the powerful crossbows and bows of the Shattered Ye Army were not idle. Because Hazmo's army was catching torches, all the arrow branches were flying towards the fire.

This is a feast of "fire". If he pretended to be a great immam of the Great Food Church in the half hour before dawn, he "awakened" and saw this scene, based on the fanatical worship of fire by the Zoroastrians (first out of the shock and worship of the active volcano of Dadamawande near Layi City, they believed that the flames came from the underground, and then there was darkness and light dualism), he would definitely think how correct it was to choose Sun Xiurong as the only messenger of light.

Everyone on the post road was shocked. Faced with a shocking scene that had never been seen before, a few people who saw the opportunity rashly rushed towards the ambush place where Sailye Jun was naturally killed by the Modao, tiger spear and long spear that were waiting for the battle.

The fire, roaring, the massacre lasted for about half an hour before it stopped. At this time, the bright moon finally broke free from the dark clouds, and the bright moonlight enveloped the world again.

Among the deserted hills and on the post road, there was a mess.

"rumble......"

But the matter was obviously not over yet. The cavalry of the Shattered Ye Army began to move out, and they all came out from the deserted hills. The tiger spear, spear, and sharp blades of the cavalry sword flashed from time to time. Every time they flashed, they would scream.

The sound of artillery and the sound of thunder gradually became sparse, but the "swish" sounds from the powerful crossbows and strong bows suddenly became denser, and the sounds of the waving of the Modao, the tiger spear, the long spear, and the long swords of both hands became increasingly frequent.

The battle lasted intermittently in the middle of the night, starting from midnight until dawn, and when the sun in the east was first revealed, the battle finally ended.

......

To the east, on the banks of the Delma River.

The two armies have been confronting each other for two days. During this period, Gazheval organized a large army to attack the Thunder Ye Army camp in both east and west directions. Obviously, once they lost the opportunity to defeat the Thunder Ye Army in the field, they would be even less of an opponent in the tough battle, and their attacks were defeated.

On this day, the news that Yuanfeng's army had annihilated Hazmo's army in the deserted hill between Layi City and Karadi City finally reached Ma Lin.

Ma Lin believed that the time for the initiative was up. This time, all five battalions under his command, including artillery, were dispatched to launch a fierce attack on the six battalions of Gazervar.

Under the deafening roar of artillery, the last trace of courage of the Yemenis and Khorasans finally disappeared, and Jiazheval's confidence also diminished.

He is ready to break through.

A more cruel pursuit began.

In the end, Gazheval only brought about 5,000 people to cross the Delma River, where the water level dropped to about half a meter, and successfully escaped. The remaining people were either killed on the spot by the Thunder Ye Army or captured.

......

Half a month later, Layi City.

Ma Lin has arrived here.

"General, in the Battle of the Desolate Hills, our army almost wiped out the commander of the Western Legion of the Great Gazwan and the governor of Tabriz Hazmo at the cost of losing only 300 people. Hazmo himself was killed on the spot by our artillery fire. After this battle, Ibrahim, the original hereditary lord of the Ghazwan city, won the five provinces of Zanzhan, Buchan, Sanandaji, Fanhu, and Tabriz with the assistance of a regular battalion of our army. In the sequence of the Great Gazwan, these five provinces, plus Azerbaijan and Armenia, were collectively called Tabriz Provinces."

"And our army suffered a little more losses in the war on the Delma River, and almost one of the camps disappeared."

“Ibrahim was elected as the Great Sultan by local Shiites, and the capital was set up in the middle of Buchan…”

"Great Sultan?"

"The General is actually the Governor. It seems that Ibrahim doesn't want to offend Mansour completely."

"Can Mansour hold back?"

"Of course not, but his new capital, Baghdad, has not yet been finally completed, and Isfahan's military strength is far from enough to fight against western Persia. Moreover, at this time, he probably learned that our army had intervened."

"Oh? What's his movement?"

"I don't know yet, but since most of the 50,000 mobile military forces of Ghazhaval, Governor of the Great Khorasan, were annihilated by our army, it would take at least two years to restore them. According to the information provided by Jewish merchants, it would take two years to finally be completed in Baghdad. Without the base of Baghdad, Mansur may not have any strength to take an offensive against Persia."

"However, there is still a vague news coming..."

"Oh? Did he begin to contact Constantine V of Eastern Rome and prepare to deal with his country with him?"

"It seems that there is a sign, but their contact with the Romans was mostly done by ships. With the current ability of our country's Renyongdu, we cannot set up our strongholds to the eastern coast of the Mediterranean..."

"It's okay, before I came, the king had confessed that for the Romans, after losing the three provinces of Damascus, Aleppo and Antioch, they lost a large number of merchants, farmers and craftsmen, and they also lost the opportunity to go deep into the Dashi Peninsula again."

"After the Great Cannibal obtained the above three places, he jumped from a wild nomadic tribe to a regular country. These three places, especially Antioch and Aleppo, were close to the Roman Empire. If the Great Cannibal wanted to negotiate terms with the Romans, he had to discuss these three places, but the Great Cannibal obviously would not give up these three places."

"There is the inland Van Lake area. Now the Romans occupy the western part of Van Lake, and the Great Cannibals occupy the eastern part. By the way, Bukan Sultan occupies the eastern part of Van Lake, and there are a large number of Kurds who can become cavalry. The Great Cannibals will not give up easily, let alone the place is in the hands of Ibrahim."

"Yes, since the Great Cannibal was defeated in the Delma River, Mansour has strengthened the jurisdiction of the southern Persia region and strengthened the military power there, especially the Isfahan, Kerman and Shiraz triangle. It is said that Mansour has pardoned a large number of slaves and allowed them to join the regular army, but the serious Great Cannibal still called them slave army."

(The Gulam army is about to appear in advance)

"In the east, although Gazelvar suffered heavy losses, especially a large number of cavalry, Mansour did not blame him, but instead strengthened his status. Originally, Gazelvar had only one city of Tus, but after the defeat, he added the southern castle Zabole."

"Gazawar originally had 200,000 troops in the Greater Khorasan area. After losing more than 40,000, there were actually more than 100,000, which should not be underestimated. However, it is naturally not possible to raise a cavalry team of 50,000 people in a short period of time. Horses can only start training at the age of two, so it will take at least two years for him to regroup."

"The news I just received, after the Zoroastrian leader moved to Tochar, the tribes there really boosted the momentum. Under the leadership of the Patans, the envoy of Qingqi Karim, and the envoy of Mingli Goshuminu, he defeated the army of the Great Cannibal in Tochar many times. In the past, the Great Cannibal occupied the castle and the Patans occupied the vast countryside. Now Karim has firmly taken down the main castles on the front lines of Kabul, Ghazni and Kandahar in eastern Tochar, and has already competed with the Great Cannibal in Tocharia."

"It is said that it was the suggestion of the leader of the Zoroastrians. He was to guard Ghazni, Karim guarded Kabul, and Geshuminu guarded Kandahar. The Zoroastrians have become popular, and it is not easy for the cannibals to recover it."

"So even if Jiazheval recovers his strength, his primary task is to recover the entire Tochar? Don't have the energy to provoke us?"

"It's almost the same. By the way, according to the arrangement of the general, the Hurami Sect has occupied the three places of Semnan, Shabul and Shahrud, and the Mitra Sect has also moved to Lai City."

"Let's not talk about this for now, where is Yuanfeng?"

"No surprise, when Hazmo's army was destroyed, the great food army in Tabriz, Azerbaijan and Armenia were insignificant. Ibrahim's people occupied Tabriz, and the Mamikonian family of Armenia took the opportunity to occupy the entire Azerbaijan and Armenia. Now he has established a new kingdom of Armenia, proclaiming himself the Grand Duke of Armenia, and at the same time he has surrendered to our country and the Roman Empire."

"Georgia is naturally firmly in the hands of another large family in Armenia, the Bagratuni family. After learning that our country was defeated and cannibalized, it also paid tribute to our country and the Roman Empire at the same time."

"According to the previous agreement, after obtaining the entire Armenia, Mamikonian II rented us the city of Baku on the west coast of the Caspian Sea and the city of Batumi on the east coast of the Black Sea. The lease period was 100 years. At the same time, there were also two lands within a radius of 100 miles near the castle to reward our country for liberating the Armenians from the claws of the great cannibalism."

"At present, General Yuanfeng has personally led two regular battalions to be stationed in Batumi Port and began to farm there, while General Naren Xiaofeng has brought two regular battalions to Baku City, and also cultivated farm there."

Ma Lin nodded, "In two years, Yuanfeng should be able to build a navy in Batumi Port."

Bai Jieyou said: "Of course, the mountains near Batumi Port are rich in wood. There was originally a shipyard there. After our army occupied it, it immediately expanded the dock and added a dock. Xi Yuanjing's people also sent some to it. Currently on the way, Batumi Port is the largest port on the Black Sea coast. It already stores a large amount of ship materials, but it is cheaper for our army."

"Ahem"

"Is Serasan anxious?"

"Yes, according to him, this is the first time that the Mitras officially entered the city of Lai in nearly a thousand years, but they only had soldiers but were extremely short of money and food."

"Okay, tell him that I will go up the mountain early tomorrow morning to find the caves of the Lai branch of the Mithra Sect!"
Chapter completed!
