The [-] troops who came all the way, even though they were originally a mob, have now become elite and energetic.

Especially in the rest of the country to occupy an important fortified city, is even more rejoicing.

Along the way, Xu Ding has always been able to attack the city, and not to attack if he can't, so he spends most of his time camping in the wild, and the hardships can be imagined.

Now there is finally a possible place to rest, and what is even more amazing is that Xu Ding only used more than 1000 horses to take down this city that has never been lost since the founding of the country in peace.

One after another, they promised to admire them even more.

"The pursuit of the Romans in command is just behind us, and we are only half a day away. Fortunately, you have captured the city of Hatra, otherwise we might really have to fight them first." Said happily.

Xu Ding looked at the infantry soldiers coming in a hurry, patted each one, and then asked: "Which army is the closest to the Romans?"

Chapter 709 Make a deal (two in one)

"It's the Tenth Legion!"

It was Meng Yu who answered the call. He brought hundreds of cavalry to monitor the Roman army behind him and provide guards for the infantry in the army.

So he knows the situation of the Roman pursuers best.

"The Tenth Legion! It seems that the Romans don't want us to go deep into Anxi, and they are afraid that we will cooperate with the Parthians." A standing army came chasing after them alone. The intention was obvious. Xu Ding thought for a while and said:

"It doesn't matter, you are all in the city now, unless the Romans really want to fight Hatra, but if they really want to fight us, they are not afraid of them, because we are strong and strong, and we have the local advantage of General Caliph."

Speaking Xu introduced the Caliph to everyone.

Although the caliph was a prisoner, Xu Ding did not despise him and fully respected him.

Khalifa said: "It's a pleasure to meet you all. You are all Qin's powerful generals. I hope we can cooperate happily."

Reluctantly, Harry could only be more magnanimous now.

Meng Yu, Huobi, and Soros got acquainted with the Caliph one by one.

The three of them were also very curious about the owner of Hatra City.

Even if this guy was captured, he could still get the appreciation of his own commander. It seemed that he was also a ruthless person.

Some things are not suitable for the caliph to listen to, so after entering the mansion, the caliph went to attend to his affairs, and Xu Ding chatted with several confidants about other matters.

During the conversation, he compared goods: "Commander, you didn't put the caliph under house arrest and let him stay with you, so you didn't let them know the secret of our cavalry."

Those who advanced into the city were cavalry, and those who followed Xu Ding were all cavalry. The Caliph must have seen cavalry equipment.

This is definitely a treasure for the Parthians who are mainly cavalry.

So shopping around is worrying.

Naturally insecure, he is wary of all potential safety hazards, so he often likes to offer opinions and opinions the most.

Xu Ding said: "I brought the caliph with me. First, I want to fully express my goodwill. We are not against Anxi, and we hope to cooperate with them. If he is under house arrest, then no Anxi people in Hatra City will believe us.

Parthians in other cities are even less likely to trust us.

Second, it is impossible for our cavalry to hide the secrets forever. From the moment my cavalry entered the city, there were no secrets. It would be better to let the caliph see it generously and let him explore.

Only in this way will he allow us to stay here temporarily and provide us with food and grass with peace of mind.

Third, I found that the Parthian Empire was far less powerful than I thought it was. On the contrary, it was very fragile and very weak. If Parthian had the strength to fight against the Roman Empire, it had to strengthen Parthian's military power. "

After chatting with the caliph, Xu Ding learned about the basic political system of Anxi, which is a loose alliance empire.

The ability to concentrate on doing big things is limited.

Although it can be stronger for a while, it will not be able to last forever, and it will easily disintegrate and fall apart.

A Parthian Empire that is too weak does not fit his plan to fish out of troubled waters.

That's why Xu Ding was relieved to let Khalifa follow him and let him learn equipment technology from his teacher.

Now that the saddle and stirrups have been invented, there is no way to stop it from spreading.

Anyway, in the future, the Great Han West Expedition will definitely not expect to have an advantage in this aspect. When it develops to a certain stage, the method of warfare will be another form, so Xu Ding is no longer so restrained.

"So that's the case, we are too conservative." Shop around after hearing the words and thought about it, and felt that Xu Ding's words were very reasonable, so they didn't focus on this matter.

After the three of them talked about the affairs, they went down to arrange the army, and Xu Ding asked someone to call the caliph over.

After sitting down, Xu Ding asked: "General Caliph, the Tenth Legion of the Romans will be here in half a day. If the Romans attack the city, will there be reinforcements from the Winter Capital?"

The caliph said: "General Qin, when you arrived, I sent news to the winter capital Taixifeng. They should send an army to support us, but now I have taken over the rebel army. What is Taixifeng's side? How I will think about it, I don’t know.”

Whether His Majesty the emperor in Dongdu is willing to fight the Romans for the rebel army, the Caliph is not sure.

It stands to reason that the current emperor Vologasis V is also an ambitious careerist. He rose to power by rebelling against his father, and then instigated Rome's affiliated countries Osroyna and Aditya Bena to launch a rebellion in 193 , is also a master who wants to make things happen.

The emergence of the rebel army should be in his interests.

It's just that the rebel army appeared in the Parthian Empire and captured the city of Hatra. The Caliph had no way of judging what the emperor would think.

Xu Ding said: "I believe that even if His Majesty did not send troops, Hatra would be fine. Now I want to discuss a deal with the Caliph. I wonder if you are interested?"

"What business?" asked the caliph.

Xu Ding said: "Being by my side, you should have seen the specialness of our cavalry. To tell you the truth, the reason why our cavalry is strong is that it is equipped with saddles and stirrups, so it is very convenient to fight, and its combat effectiveness is average. The strong soldiers are much higher.

This is why my cavalry can beat your cavalry. "

It turned out that those two things were called saddles and stirrups, and the caliph was relieved.

Needless to say, as a seasoned knight, the Caliph had discovered the special features of the rebel cavalry early on, but there were still some things that he hadn't figured out.

Now that Xu Ding said it, his master became even more innocent, but he was also confused.

What exactly does Alexander Qin want to do.

Xu Ding smiled and said: "In order to show the sincerity of our army, I can teach you these two things. I believe that with these things, the combat effectiveness of Hatra's cavalry will undergo earth-shaking changes and become the strongest cavalry team in Anxi. .”

Originally Hatra's troops were already very strong, if the cavalry's fighting power was on a higher level, then...

Caliph's heart throbbed a little.

Who doesn't want to become stronger, who doesn't want to expand their territory.

Especially frontiers like him have the strongest desire for sex.
