Episode 136: The Third Persian-Christian War

Almus was fighting a siege on the Adernia Peninsula ...

The Christian Peninsula, just east of the Adernia Peninsula, was about to undergo a historic war.

That is, the Third Persis-Christian War.

The beginning is the invasion of Greece by Xerxes, the Emperor of Persis, who calls the kings of the kings.

Emperor Xerxes formed a forty-thousand force and a large fleet of over 700 ships, storming the Greek peninsula.

The aim is to curb the independence movement of the Christian cities in the Persian Empire.

Another reason is to gain control of the East Tethys Sea.

In contrast, the Greek cities formed the Great League against Persis, centered on the four major cities of the time, Alto, Tervai, Clarisse and Laime.

Prepare three-stage ships of 130,000 infantry and four hundred.

Both sides confronted on the Great Plains.

"How are you?"

"One million and three hundred thousand. Do you think you can't win?"

Persis Army headquarters.

There was a middle-aged man with blonde hair and a beautiful woman with blonde hair and brown skin.

They are completely naked.

I was in the middle of making children.

Aisha, the patriarch of the woman-desert people (alarms), traces the finger of Xerxes, the man-king of the kings (Emperor Persis).

"But, you know, your habitual father and grandfather lost in this force difference?"

"It was because our soldiers were weak."

First Persis War and Second Persis War.

In two major wars, the Persis empire was defeated by the Christian Union.

There are two reasons.

One is the difference in morale.

The soldiers of the Christian Union had a determined will to protect their homeland.

Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Persian Empire are peasants and mercenaries forced to be brought by the emperor.

This difference led to a huge morale gap.

The second reason is language.

The official language of the Persian Empire is Persian, but only one-third of the soldiers can speak Persian.

The lack of communication between the NCOs led to confusion in the chain of command.

"Then, are these soldiers getting stronger?"

"No, it hasn't changed"

Xerxes shook his head.

Aisha tilts her head.

"Why do you think you can win?"

And Xerxes replied with a grin.

"It's diplomacy and weapons."

The gong sound resounds on the battlefield.

The sound of the soldiers' footsteps and the rubbing of the armor reverberates as if to muffle the sound.

A total of 5.3 million troops are coming together.

The ground shakes as each soldier moves.

The first to move was the Persian army's proud tank fleet of 50,000.

It is a huge tank with four heads, carrying a master, an archer, and a spearman.

The wheel has a huge scythe.

It is the strongest trump card that has repeatedly crushed the Persian Empire and expanded its territory.

"Hahahaha !!!!! I should lie down in front of the strongest Persian tank!"

The general leading the tank squad laughs and runs at the top.

Then 50,000 tanks follow.

He groaned and assaulted the Christian infantry.

The wheels of the tank squad crush the Christians and scythes cut through the flesh.

The formation of the Christian army collapsed in a blink of an eye ... it seemed to go.

"Push down from the side !!"

"What? That ??"

The tank on which the general rides begins to lean.

Once tilted, it fell quickly.

"Wait! I'm the emperor's brother ..."

"Die!"

The general died easily.

Starting with the general's death, the tank squad is being defeated one after another.

In two wars, the Christians knew that the trump card of the Persian Empire was a tank fleet.

Of course, it is natural to take countermeasures.

"Hahahaha! Look, Aisha! He's dead!"

Xerxes laughs while drinking wine.

Aisha smiles with a bitter smile.

"Your brother ... isn't it? I mean, it's a tiger cub tank ..."

"I am delighted because I am a younger brother. This confirmed my son's throne. I'm sorry! Generally, it's natural that such incompetence has died. And because he speaks excuses usefully (laughs) ... the cavalry is the age. The tanks are old !! "

"I'm pleased with my fellow defeat ... I guess you've lost so much?"

Aisha had a stunned expression.

The Christian army defeats the tank squad and raises morale.

The Persian Army is severely demoralized.

But Xerxes doesn't care.

Xerxes orders a true tiger cub to be dispatched.

"I'm expecting. King Partodia"

"Let's give the mountain of the dead of the Christians to His Majesty the Emperor."

King Paltdia-The king of the equestrian nomads on the outskirts of the Persis Empire bowed down to Emperor Persis.

Then straddle the horse and raise the bow.

"let's go!!"

Paltodia cavalry wraps around the side of the Christian army.

The weak point of the typical Russian infantry army is the right side.

Of course, the Christian army knows that too.

30,000 Christian cavalry intercepts Parthian cavalry.

"Kill the Barbarian, Barbaroy!"

The Christian cavalry screams and attacks the Parthian cavalry.

Meanwhile, the Parthian cavalry intercepts it with a cold attitude.

"The whole army starts shooting. Let the stupid teach me how to handle horses."

At the signal of King Paltdia, an arrow fell on the Christian cavalry.

"Well, what !!!! While riding a horse ... oh, oh, oh!"

The Christian cavalry captain receives an arrow on his chest and falls.

One after another, a Christian cavalry falls through an arrow and falls.

The assault momentum has been halved.

"It's a thousand years earlier, such as fighting us against the Parthians!"

When he shouts, King Pultiadia, who switches from a bow to a sword, assaults a Christian cavalry.

Other Parthian cavalry will follow.

A Christian cavalry being slain one after another.

The Christian cavalry is quickly destroyed.

"Hello, is the age a cavalry?"

"But, isn't that a Persian army?"

"Don't worry about the details. The Persian cavalry corps will be made after the end of this war.

Meanwhile, Persian and Christian infantry were about to crash in the center.

The Christian army is a heavy infantry armed with long spears and round shields.

Rush into the Persis Army while forming a phalanx.

"Get ready!"

A bolt released by a Persian dreadnought pierces the heavy infantry round shield.

Flaps and heavy infantry fall.

"Huh? That's a weapon I've never seen.

"It's called a dread. It's a weapon purchased from the Far East. It's not very famous around here. Even girls and girls have the advantage of shooting arrows that can kill people, which takes a lot of time to load and, above all, a huge number to match The disadvantage is that it costs a lot. ''

Xerxes explained to Aisha.

Weapons arrived after somehow trying to make up for the weakness of the Persian army.

This is the first weapon that has become commercially viable with the Persian Empire's industrial capabilities.

"But it doesn't stop"

"Because the skill of the Christian army is horrible."

The Russian heavy hoplites head straight to the Persian army, stepping over their fellow fellows, without losing momentum.

"Hold a long spear !!"

Following the general's command, the Persian army slowly prepares for the Greeks.

The Persian army, which has a large number and an unstructured chain of command, is far from flattering.

At about the same time that the Persian army was ready to intercept, the heavy Russian infantry contacted the Persian army.

Phalanx's charge distorted the formation.

The brave Christian militia soldiers stab Persian soldiers, without losing the triple strength.

In the past two battles, the Persian army was defeated as it was breached vertically.

But this time it was different.

The Persian army began to push back gradually.

"What is that? What is it? It's a habit. The usual weak Persian army won't lose that."

"Weapons are different. We have prepared weapons that can fight even small fish."

The Persian weapon is an iron long spear.

On the battlefield, the longer the spear, the better.

It's not that easy.

Naturally, the longer the spear, the heavier it gets.

In other words, if the length is increased to a certain length, a high kneading degree is required.

Furthermore, they are vulnerable to attack from the side, and cannot be tolerated if they are attacked from the side by mobile units such as cavalry.

And they are powerless against enemies armed with long swords and others who use tactics for soldiers.

In Earth's history, the ancient Roman phalanx defeated the Celtic barbarians who took the tactics of shooting, and the Romans who switched to tactics smashed the Macedonian phalanx that was prevalent in Greece.

There is no invincible tactic.

So how did Xerxes turn Persian troops into usable (...) troops?

First of all, we abolished the shield.

And the armor was kept to a minimum.

By doing so, he was able to carry as long a spear as possible.

In addition, a reliable Paltodia cavalry was deployed on the sides, eliminating the anxiety of the sides.

The problem is the increased damage due to reduced defense and the resulting escape of soldiers ...

`` If you escape, the elite of our army, the immortal squad, a large number of dreadnoughts, and a large barista, behind the scenes, will turn the weak into garbage. ''

"What's the difference between the elite of the army and the fight against the escape of soldiers ?! As expected, it's a habit. The idea is a tyrant!"

Aisha vulnerable to Xerxes.

Xerxes does not care. Perhaps because he is aware.

Persian infantry, despite being pushed, endure the assault of the Greeks.

And gradually narrow the siege.

A Parthian cavalry that defeats the Christian cavalry goes around behind the Christian army.

The siege will be completed soon after.

It was at that time.

Persistent infantry units began to be pushed hard.

"That is……"

"The elite Christians ... the holy squad (Kusomoho bastard) and the Reim heavy infantry (brain miso muscle)?"

Both the holy squad and Reim heavy infantry are the strongest fighting unit in the Greek peninsula.

The Greek generals were the last trump in this crisis.

Save until the end of the battle.

It would have been a big bet.

Before being active, the Christian side could be crushed and lost.

But the Greeks won the bet.

A powerful enemy suddenly appeared and Persian infantry sneaked away.

Until now Persian infantry has fought thanks to the sense of security that they have more and the tension in the soldiers behind them.

This balance has fluctuated.

Once collapsed, it collapses quickly.

Persis infantry throws a spear and begins to run away.

Many arrows fell on the fugitives, and an immortal spear pierced the body.

However, the water that broke once does not return.

"... Huh"

Xerxes held his head down.

This time it was the defeat of Xerxes.

"I wanted to beat Greece at least once ..."

"I can't help it. Habits. Habits worked hard!-It's thanks to the habits that the weak soldiers could fight that far. So ... "

Aisha held a spear made of dragon Damascus steel with one hand.

A spear about the size of an adult.

Smile while swinging it.

"Leave it to us."

"I really wanted to win Persis alone, but I couldn't stop.

Xerxes cut the strongest trump card.

"After all, it's a barbaro. It's not a big deal."

Laim, one of the leading cities in Greece.

The king stabs a fleeing Persis infantry with a spear and mutters while killing.

She has an unhappy expression.

It will not be rampage.

Everyone born in Laim receives strict military training from an early age.

That is no exception, even for the Laim royalty. … No, because of the royal family, even more severe training is imposed.

Killing techniques and struggles that have been beaten since childhood.

That made Laim the strongest Army country in Greece.

"No, not at all. We can't imagine running away from the battlefield."

The commander of the Choir also resonated with King Reime.

The holy squad is a special unit composed of gay couples.

The members of the Holy Communion struggle to protect their lover and to show off their strength.

Never escape.

Only the holy squad can fight Lame Heavy Infantry on the Greek Peninsula.

"Let's attack the Imperial Capital Jamseed with this momentum."

"That's good. Lots of Persian boys ... gokri."

The two colors the conversation.

Victory was imminent, and the whole of the Greek army was loose.

"I can afford it even though I haven't won yet."

A growing voice was heard from behind the dust.

King Reim and the captain of the Holy Communion stared, and a woman came across a camel from behind the dust.

Has tan skin and golden hair.

A beautiful woman.

She was wearing bright red fabrics ... No, she was wearing blood red.

This is because the Persian infantry had fled and slashed from one end and advanced.

"They are seen as well-known generals. I am Aisha. I am the patriarch of the desert people (alarms). And the last 500 people are the strongest in the world, which is our desert people (alarms). Warriors "

Aisha points behind himself with his thumb.

From the other side of the dust, camel cavalry, which was also dyed red, appeared.

"This is the patriarch of the patriarchs. Carefully .... While women are on the battlefield.

"That's what? I don't give my name? I gave my name. It's a rude person."

Aisha clowned to King Laime.

"There's no name for a woman. Aisha-san, wasn't she? I should have fled earlier. I've decided to win or lose now. I'm not interested. "

Even the commander of the Holy Commander does not claim to be Aisha, but takes a stupid attitude.

Aisha smiled grinning.

"Hey ... I'm worried."

And disappeared.

"Where did it disappear?"

King Reim hurriedly looked around.

"here"

I heard a voice from behind.

When King Reim turned around in a hurry, Aisha was there.

I have something in my left hand.

By the time he realized it was the head of the commander of the Holy Communion, King Laim's head and torso had already separated.

Avoid Aisha.

"Let's hunt! It's time to kill everyone!"

Due to the activities of the desert citizens (alarms) led by Aisha, the war began to significantly lean toward Persis.

First, the Holy Communion and Reim heavy infantry instantly turned into warm, raw meat and cut into the upsetting Christian army.

In a moment, the Greek heavy infantry saw a mate being processed into raw meat in a moment, and was confused.

The formation is disturbed and gaps are created.

The desert people (alarms) cut into the gaps and the wounds spread.

Desert people (alarms).

Nomads, commercial, hunting, and fighting ethnic groups who walk the oasis.

Its population is only 50,000.

However, the 500 warrior classes, one hundredth of the population, all have combat blessing called "Hunter Blessing."

Therefore the strongest in the world.

No army will ever be able to beat them in battle.

... However, it cannot compete with the power of numbers.

Therefore it has succumbed to the Persian Empire, and it is impossible to destroy 100,000 Christian forces.

All you can do is disrupt the enemy and stop the movement.

But that's enough.

Xerxes leads the Immortal Corps and closes the hole.

Once again, the Greeks are surrounded by Persian seas.

Both the religious holy squad and the Reim heavy infantry are destroyed.

Persis infantry on the side.

Aisha and the immortal squad in front.

Behind the cavalry is the Parthudia cavalry.

It is impossible to break the situation.

Thus, the 100,000 Christian army was destroyed.

Two days later.

Off the coast of the city state Clarice.

There were over 400 battleships gathered from all over the country, waiting for 700 Persian Navy ships.

In order to land on the Greek Peninsula, the Persis Army needs to defeat Clarice, a city-state.

Clarice is a city facing the sea.

To capture, you need to gain control of the sea.

The Persian Army is a large army of over 400,000.

It is impossible to cover that logistics solely by land transportation.

Sea transportation is always required.

Defeat on land cannot be overturned.

But it can be recovered at sea.

And the Christians are marine races.

They use boats instead of roads to go shopping in neighboring towns.

Persians, on the other hand, are a natural land race.

Most marines cannot swim, most of them are new to the sea.

The sea is different from the land, and the difference between the skill and the performance of the ship is large.

The odds are great.

"I can see it! General !!!! It is a golden hawk flag!"

Golden hawk on red fabric.

This fancy flag is the flag of the Persian Empire.

The eastern (Orient) tribes tremble just by watching this flag.

But the brave Christians never get scared.

"Hmm, do you think the hawk can win at the sea? Write down the seagull."

The general's words made a laugh.

If you fight in the sea, you will never lose.

Ships are feet for the Christians, and the sea is the road.

We can't beat the Persians.

"Hmm? General. You can see a different flag. That's a crescent moon ... Pofenia!

"what!!"

The general stares.

Over time, it became clearly visible to the generals' eyes.

no doubt.

It is the flag of the crescent moon and the flag of Pofenia.

This means only one thing.

Pofenia is allied with the Persian Empire.

Pofenia is a republic with its homeland just south of the Adernia Peninsula.

Like the Christians, the Pophenians are ethnics engaged in maritime trade, with boats as feet and seas as roads.

The maneuvering ability is equivalent to that of the Christians.

"... how many?"

"... countless, is there at least three hundred ..."

Cold sweat spread on the cheek of the general.

Battle of Clarisse.

There are 400 Navy in the Russian Navy vs. 700 Navy in the Persis and 300 Navy in the Pofenia.

As a result, the Christian Navy is annihilated.

From the Battle of Clarisse,

Two days later, Clarice fell.

Ten days later, Alto fell.

Twenty days later, Tervi fell.

Forty days later, Laim fell.

Thus the entire Greek peninsula was conquered by the Persian Empire.

The East Tethys Sea will be controlled by the Persian Empire and the Republic of Pofenia.

The Third Persian-Christian War ended with the victory of the Persian Empire.

It goes without saying that the consequences of this war will have a major impact on the politics and economy of the Adernia Peninsula.
