Year 288. And Persia is in danger.

Orathvon, now Persian capital was enormously upgraded. New palaces, new buildings... It was now three times larger.

Also, as mentioned before, large wall site has been build recently there too, surrounded by huge boulders.

But Chinese army was close. And one nice day, they finally came there and besieged the city.

Also, huge chinese camp(or fort) was built near the city.

Persians had very good defence. They shot thousands of arrows, they had also roman cannons. But Chinese were strong too. And, two weeks after besieging, was huge fire started in the central part of Orathvon.

And because Persians were not ready for attack, they had very small food stocks. The Chinese army was strong, and the walls were damaged on several places. But finally, roman army came, and they made traps in the nearby canyon. When the enemies will come, they will be crushed by huge boulders.

At first, roman army attacked on the Chinese camp, and burned it. More than 10.000 chinese soldiers died.

After that, they escaped to the canyon. And chinese army chased them. Another small army attacked then enemy from the backwards. Chinese army was now stuck in canyon. And romans defeated them there, using massive boulders, and thousands of cannonballs and spears.

This battle was very important for whole empire. Chinese forces escaped back to China, and empire was rescued. And finally, a peace came. Peace, what will last for many years...
