Chapter 1021 Zhenman City Attack and Defense Battle

When Yang Yuan returned to Zhenman City, Zhenman City had already entered a state of war.

The three city gates have been sealed, and only the south gate is passable. After checking the tokens of the Xiaoqi Army, Yang Yuan and others were allowed to enter the city.

After Yang Yuan returned to Zhenman City, he was not idle. He immediately sent a message to Hei Yi, asking the surrounding counties and the civil and military officials in Cangyang City to prepare.

The main force of the Cavalry Army led by Ma Teng has not returned yet. Zhenman City can ensure its own safety, but there is no guarantee that the barbarians will not bypass Zhenman City and attack other cities.

Only cavalry can defeat cavalry!

Although this statement is slightly exaggerated, it is correct to a certain extent.

In field battles outside the city, there is no absolute gap in military strength. Only cavalry can deal with cavalry.

No matter how many infantry there are, they are just targets and toys for the cavalry.

Unless the cavalry's marching route can be known in advance and the cavalry is blocked in a perfect terrain so that they cannot take advantage of their speed, they will not be able to defeat the cavalry no matter how they fight the infantry.

All parts of the Qian Kingdom are developing vigorously, and the same is true around Zhenman City. If the barbarians really destroy the opportunity for development.

Yang Yuan felt sorry for the people of Wuwei County.

"First transfer the White Tiger Army and Yulin Army to prevent the barbarians from breaking into the hinterland of Wuwei County."

The White Tiger Army is closest to Wuwei County, and the Yulin Army is all cavalry, so they can reach Wuwei County quickly.

But no matter how fast it is, it's not as fast as the barbarians.

After all, they were only two or three days away from Zhenman City.

The Yulin Army may not have set off from Cangyang City in two or three days, but part of the White Tiger Army has sent out in advance and is on the way.

But there was no time to help Zhenman City defend.

Fortunately, the barbarian commander did not immediately divide his troops to attack other cities after arriving at Zhenman City.

Always try to attack Zhenman City with all your strength, what if you can capture it?

No commander would think that he would fail before the attack started, so he was not qualified to be the commander of an army, and there was no need to fight this battle.

Although I have heard the name of Zhenman City before, how can I know if it is genuine without trying it? Or maybe it just looks mighty?

How strong a city can be built in such a short time?

So many fortified cities in Shun and Qi have been conquered by us. You are holding Man City, bah, you dare to call it Man City. A new city built less than a year ago will definitely not be able to stop the iron hoof of our barbarians!

The commander of the barbarians is the Marquis of Wanhu from the Golden Eagle tribe. The Marquis of Wanhu is not the captain of ten thousand men. The captain of ten thousand men is just the chief military officer. The marquis of Wanhu has his own tribe.

The weakest Wanhuhou has tens of thousands of people and can command from 10,000 to 50,000 cavalry.

Of course, this is an ideal state where all the people are soldiers, but it is difficult to achieve in practice.

However, in addition to governing the people of his own tribe, Wanhuhou will also hold important official positions in the tribal army.

This is the case this time.

Because the Golden Eagle Khan was the new king, he could not leave the royal court easily. He was not confident that his sons could defeat the Qian Kingdom, so he asked Wanhu Hou from the tribe to lead his troops south.

This decision is very risky. If Wanhu Hou Batur can really defeat the Qian army and recapture the three thousand miles of grassland in the south, then his prestige will be greatly improved, even higher than that of the leader of the Golden Wolf Tribe and the previous Great Khan. !

After all, the previous Great Khan only resigned from the position of King Khan because of repeated defeats at the hands of Qian Guo.

However, Batur did not become arrogant after he became the commander-in-chief, but became more cautious.

For him to be appointed as the commander of this operation, he must be a confidant of the Golden Eagle Khan. Secondly, he knows how strong the Ganjun is. A single oversight may keep him in the grassland three thousand miles south forever, and there is no way to regain the lost ground!

But after seeing Zhenman City, Batur's thoughts changed somewhat.

Maybe being in the army isn’t that scary!

The Cavalry Army is very powerful, but their numbers are not as good as our barbarians, and they cannot take advantage of the war horses when defending the city.

As long as the main force of the Qian cavalry army is blocked in Zhenman City, they can be wiped out like infantry. By then, there will be no Qianguo cavalry on the grassland that can compete with our clan!

Although his men were not good at attacking cities, but thinking of the bright prospects after capturing Zhenman City and annihilating the Qiaoqi Army, Batur made up his mind and decided that Zhenman City must be conquered.

Thanks to Batur's greed, Yang Yuan had enough time to deploy his troops and prepare a good defense.

The barbarians' siege capabilities were really worrying, and Yang Yuan thought he could experience another fierce war.

He was ready to summon new imperial legions at any time. Unfortunately, the threat of barbarian siege was too small, so there was no need for him to summon new imperial soldiers. The soldiers in the city alone could securely defend the city.

It was only on the third day of the siege that Batur realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

Although his men were not good at attacking cities, they were not as difficult as this siege.

Not to mention that the cadres in the city looked down upon him, even he looked down upon the men who were attacking the city with their lives.

"What's going on with you? You behaved so poorly. Even the guinea pigs on the grassland are smarter than you!"

"Tell me, tell me, why after three days of attacking, you didn't even touch the walls of Zhenman City, ah! Ta Nan City?"

Naturally, the barbarians would not call Zhenman City Zhenman, otherwise they would not be suppressing themselves. They would call Zhenman City Tanan City, which means that the horses from here will trample the southern countries!

Judging from the performance of their siege, this meaning can only be an illusory wish.

Batur looked at the silent generals under his command and felt that the blood vessels on his forehead were pounding. He was worried that his cerebral blood vessels would burst due to their anger!

"I don't care what happened to you, what the reason is, what reason you have, if you let me see your poor siege performance tomorrow, I will let you all feed the horses and shovel horse manure!"

"yes."

"I see."

"Tomorrow we will definitely be able to attack a city wall and let those people from the Qian Kingdom see how powerful we are!"

The various barbarian generals finally came to life and spoke one after another.

Batur felt his forehead swell a few more times, these beasts!

"Go away and plan the siege. Tomorrow you will attack one by one. No one can escape!"

Even the Golden Eagle (Wolf) Guard did not escape.

Although Batur would not let them dismount and attack the city wall, they could still go up and shoot a few rounds of arrows.

The arrows fired by the Golden Eagle (Wolf) Guard are more powerful and more lethal than ordinary cavalry!

The offensive and defensive battle of Zhenman City lasted for seven days. The 80,000 barbarian cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and nearly 10,000 cavalry withdrew from the siege battle sequence.

Batur had woken up at this time, and he understood that he had made the mistake of being arrogant and greedy.

Because Tanan City was a newly built city, he thought he could easily break through it, but reality gave him an important blow, which made his head covered with blood and knocked him awake!

Regardless of whether it is a new city or an ancient city, as long as the city wall is strong, he should not despise it.

Fortunately, he woke up in time. If it had been a few days later, more than half of his 80,000 cavalry would have been lost!

It's too late to make corrections now.

"Order the three captains of ten thousand to bypass Zhenman City, attack other cities, and collect food and grass!"

Batur decided to resume his best tactics, sparing the city and plundering the place.

He had already prepared for the worst.

Hope it's not like I thought...

Batur looked at Zhenman City, with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

Is Qian Guo really the nemesis of our clan?
