Chapter 816 The Tallest and Strongest City

There are only 10,000 war cavalry in the imperial city right now. Although they are the most elite troops of the Tiezhen tribe, their number is too small.

Although everyone was in a panic, they were not completely confused.

After all, the 20,000-strong Zhenxi Army had to face the Tiezhen tribe’s tallest and most powerful city, a mighty city that had stood for hundreds of years.

The city with the most perfect defensive measures is Bahrain.

Wanyan Wuji was responsible for the city defense. He urgently mobilized soldiers, distributed them to various defensive positions, transferred them to posts, and took shifts, requiring them to work day and night.

Originally, the Tiezhen tribe's cavalry was best at charging into the wilderness, and they were not good at sieges or defense.

But there is no way out. Things have come to a head and there is no choice but to do it.

At this time, in the imperial palace, all the ministers gathered together and began to discuss what to do next.

Of course, before coming up with the most correct strategy, all the ministers scolded Shi Gu first.

This guy took away Tiezhen's most elite troops, but played tricks with the Zhenxi Army, which resulted in the entire Tiezhen Imperial City being put on fire.

Everyone has a scale in their heart.

I just feel like it's not worth playing like this.

Zhenxi is just a prefecture of the Dazong clan, while he is the center of a country, the center of the entire Tiezhen clan, and the royal city of the prairie.

How can they be measured together?

Shi Guku was so confused that he dared to play tricks on Lin Feng.

Fight a fair battle, and even if you lose, you won't lose so miserably.

A true man defends his homeland with his blood, and even if he dies, it is glorious.

But what does it mean now?

The entire palace hall was filled with people shouting and cursing at Shi Guku.

Wanyan Wuji almost wanted to crawl under the table.

Because Shi Guku was the talent he strongly recommended.

No matter what, things have come to this point, Wanyan Wufeng waved his hand to let everyone stop talking.

"My dear ministers, the Zhenxi Army is already under our noses. If anyone has a good strategy to resist the enemy, please share it and let me rest assured."

The ministers who were cursing enthusiastically just now now kept their mouths shut tightly, and no one spoke.

The hall was very quiet.

Wanyan Wufeng glanced at the civil and military officials awkwardly.

"Ahem... Your Majesty."

Wusara began to speak.

The one who always solves the emperor's embarrassment is this veteran minister who has served three dynasties.

"Relax, the Imperial City of Bahrain is 113 feet high. Where else in the world is there a city so tall?"

Wanyan Wuji continued, "Yes, I'm afraid the Zhenxi Army's ladders aren't long enough."

"Haha, the gates of our imperial city are all made of iron plates. No matter how powerful the Zhenxi Army is, they can't break even half a gate."

Someone said loudly.

Wendihan also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I think the Zhenxi Army is isolated and without support. Facing high walls and deep ravines, they are helpless. They will retreat within five days."

Wanyan Wuji continued, "Brother Emperor, I have already sent a fast horse with strict orders to Shi Guku to return to the imperial city immediately and to block the Zhenxi Army outside the city."

Wanyan Qingtian also chuckled: "Your Majesty, if the Zhenxi Army is not completely defeated and scattered under the attack from both inside and outside, what other outcome will there be?"

Several people sang in unison, which immediately made Wanyan Wufeng and the ministers in the hall breathe a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere in the entire hall immediately became relaxed, and some people laughed out loud.

Wanyan Wufeng said loudly, "Okay, then Wanyan Wuji will take the lead, with Wanyan Qingtian and Wendihan as assistants. They will shoulder the safety of the Bahrain Imperial City, allowing me to sleep peacefully."

The three men bowed simultaneously and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured and sleep well. We will do our utmost to ensure that the Zhenxi Army will not return."

Shi Guku, who was in Zhenxi, had indeed received a swift order from Wanyan Wuji, asking him to rush back to Bahrain immediately to achieve the military goal of attacking the Zhenxi army from both inside and outside.

But Shi Guku ignored it. He thought that he was competing with Lin Feng, and it would depend on who would give up first.

This is a psychological battle and also a battlefield game. Whoever turns around first loses.

Shi Guku had analyzed that Bahrain could be said to be the tallest city among the surrounding countries, and its solidity exceeded any other fortified city.

It is impossible for Lin Feng to capture this city in a short period of time with only 20,000 troops.

In the west of the town, in addition to the city, there are many towns and villages. Unlike Bahrain, which is almost entirely grassland, there may be a few cows, sheep, and horses occasionally.

Therefore, in terms of losses, it must be much greater than theirs.

The first one who couldn't bear it was definitely Lin Feng.

Shi Guku ignored Wanyan Wuji's order and brazenly led 30,000 cavalry across the border and entered Zhenxi.

On the western edge of the town, he divided 30,000 cavalry into three teams. One team was led by him personally, one was led by He Sujia, and the other was led by Bronze Armor Aliban.

Three teams entered the inland area west of the town in three directions.

There is only one purpose, to burn, kill, loot and do whatever makes people sad.

Similarly, the 50,000-horsepower Zhenxi Army was divided into five teams, each with 10,000 cavalrymen. Wang Qian led one team, and Lin Qiaomei, Qin Fang, Xie Zhong, and Li Hu each led a team.

Fifty thousand troops spread out, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles along the border.

The king had only one goal, which was to stop the Tartar cavalry outside the west of the town to prevent the people from being harmed.

First, dozens of cavalry teams sent out by both sides created sparks in the wilderness.

Usually there are five riders in a group, who will explore the way ahead and report immediately if they encounter any abnormalities.

Once you encounter the enemy's cavalry group, you must destroy them if you can, and you must not let them go back to report.

Today's Zhenxi Army's weapons and equipment are of higher quality, and the quality of steel armor and steel swords has been greatly improved, especially the repeating crossbow, which is a nightmare for the Tatar cavalry.

The two sides charged, starting from a distance of fifty steps. The Tatars had excellent cavalry and archery skills, but they could only use two hands to shoot arrows from horseback and could not hold a shield for protection.

The cavalry of the Zhenxi Army could hold a shield in one hand, shoot a crossbow with the other, and string the bow with one hand.

With this alone, the Tatar cavalry was completely defeated.

In terms of riding skills, the Zhenxi Army has undergone intensive training in recent years, and its skills are basically on par with the Tatar cavalry.

However, in the fight with the Tatar cavalry, their weapons had the advantage, and their fighting techniques had also been systematically trained, giving them a great advantage.

Even the warhorse under his crotch was a fine horse purchased by Zhenxi from the largest horse farm, the city of Dadur. It was a top-notch choice in terms of breed and physique.

To sum up the above, the Tatar cavalry no longer has any advantages in Zhenxi, and has no chance to wreak havoc, and can only be beaten.

The first 10,000-man army to encounter the Tatars was Qin Fang from the border town. He sent out several groups of cavalry, which immediately reported back after finding out the movements of the Tatar's main force.

Let Qin Fang lock the opponent's position.

Although a cavalry team of 10,000 people is very small in the entire wilderness west of the town, once they are tracked down, it will be difficult to escape from the enemy's pursuit.

He Sujia had just led his troops to massacre an entire village and town, and was gathering his troops to prepare to move on to the next town.

Just outside the village, they saw the 10,000 cavalrymen of the Zhenxi Army led by Qin Fang.

Without any fancy moves, both sides immediately formed their teams, took up offensive formations, and charged towards each other on horseback.
