Chapter 1154(1/2)
As the leader elected by everyone in the Lan City, Batchenau was standing on the city wall and frowned.
He looked at the dark smoke and dust outside the city with a serious face, trying to suppress the fear and regret in his heart.
"Tell everyone that whether it is a man or a woman, they all take up weapons and come up to guard it in turn. They must be attacked by these enemies from the east for a month before the Funan army of the kings will come to rescue the siege!"
Batchenno said loudly to the nobles of the Lan family next to him.
When everyone heard this, they nodded and agreed.
They all knew very well that the Lan family city was the gateway to the Sassanian Funan Northeast Territory, and the Funan King would never let them make any mistakes.
"As long as you can wait until the Sassanian army arrives, these Orientals outside the city will be beaten to pieces!"
Batchenno said with anticipation.
In addition to another complicated defensive arrangement, the defense of the entire Blue City was quickly mobilized.
The figures of defenders who were back and forth on the top of the city had already been seen by the army outside the city.
"Master, it seems that Lan's City does not intend to surrender!"
A scar-faced general stood in the stirrups, looked at the Lan family city not far away, and said to Fu Huanwen next to him.
"Wouldn't it be better if you don't surrender?"
Fu Huanwen smiled contemptuously and heard him continue.
"If the people of Lan's city surrender, how can they distribute wealth and women to the children?"
After Fu Huanwen said that, he looked back at the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him.
This time, when the Lan family city was attacked, most of the "Pingxi Army" led by Fu Huanwen were herders and warriors from Kangju and Su Yi.
These local Hu people in the Western Regions lived in the impression that Sasanida Funan was so powerful. This time, the Lan family city, who attacked Sasanida Funan, came for the wealth of Lan family city.
Fu Huanwen wanted to use the flesh and blood of Lan's City to give him these newly recruited hawks and dogs.
"However, when dealing with these barbarians, we should do the ethics first and then the army!" Fu Huanwen said with a smile.
Scarfaced general Ma Zhong nodded vigorously when he heard this, "Master Yingming, you're right!"
He nodded seriously and flattered him very naturally.
"But, king, what does it mean to teach ethics first and what soldiers?" Ma Zhong looked puzzled.
He has long been used to the vulgar Fu Huanwen of the generals, and is already immune to this.
"Although I know that Lan's city refuses to surrender, I have to send someone to inform them first, that as long as I surrender, I can avoid death."
When Ma Zhong heard this, he suddenly realized.
After a while, a Kangju soldier holding the Pingxi Army flag was approaching the city of Lan.
The Kangju soldier shouted loudly in a Hu language that the people of Lanshi City could understand, "Pull the city and surrender to avoid death, otherwise the city would be massacred for three days after the city was destroyed."
After just shouting it, the Lan City responded quickly.
"Swish!"
Several consecutive sounds of bowstrings, and a feather arrow shot down from the top of the city.
The soldier and horse from Pingxi Army were frightened and immediately fled back in panic.
Seeing this, the defenders of Lan City on the top of the city burst into loud mockery.
Faced with the arrogant response of the defenders, Fu Huanwen not only did not get angry, but instead looked at Lan's city with a look of regret.
"What a pity that a city is about to be engulfed by blood and fire."
Before arriving at Lan's City, Fu Huanwen had already obtained information, and the Sassanian Funan people in the west would send a large army to rescue Lan's City.
As long as the defenders of Lan's City last for one month, they can ensure their safety.
Unfortunately, the Hu people from the Western Regions of Lan Family City did not know that for Fu Huanwen, one month was enough for him to break through the Lan Family City.
Although Lan Family City is known as the number one city in the Western Regions, in Fu Huanwen's eyes, it is just a county town equivalent to the size of a large prefecture in the Central Plains.
Although the city walls built are taller, the walls are thin and the houses in the city are crowded and noisy. Facing the "big killing weapon" in Fu Huanwen's hand, it is simply the best living target.
"Ma Zhong, divide your troops into two routes, explore the direction of Mulu along the north road, and explore the direction of Herat along the south road!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely take Sasanthemum's eyes tightly." Ma Zhong's face trembled slightly, and he promised with great certainty.
If the Sassans wanted to send a large army to rescue the Lan family, there were only two roads, north and south.
One is to start from Mulu City and follow the north road of the desert grassland to Lanshi City.
Another one is to follow the valley in the eastern part of Khorasan and cross layers of mountains and appear from the south.
Fu Huanwen guessed that Sassans would probably come to the north.
Because the South Road needs to travel through too many mountains, it is not conducive to the large-scale army's advancement and the transportation of baggage.
If you walk the north road, you can not only march quickly, but also recruit the northern Hualazimo minions to act together.
Fu Huanwen has already prepared for this.
As long as the Sassanians travel to Mulu North Road, they will inevitably recruit the northern Hualazimo minion army.
At that time, the Huns who had already accepted the alliance would take advantage of the situation to attack Hualazimo, and the Sassanian army would inevitably be seriously affected.
And Fu Huanwen will break through the Lan family city within this period of time.
When the Sassans arrived with difficulty, what awaited them would be a banner with the word "Ran".
The only thing that Huan Wen needs to do now is to break through the Lan family city as soon as possible.
After rejecting the Eastern people's persuasion of surrender with bows and arrows, the entire defenders in the Lan family city were full of confidence.
The strong tension before this seemed to have disappeared with the laughter after those arrows.
Batchenno was very happy to see this scene. With the tall walls of the Lan family, as long as the morale of the defenders is maintained, even if there are several times more enemies outside the city, they will not be able to do anything to them at all.
"God of Light, look, what is that!"
Suddenly, a Lan City defender pointed to the distance in a surprised tone and exclaimed.
Bacteno and the defenders followed one after another.
I saw a large group of carriages appearing in the camp of the Eastern people in the distance.
Many long and short thick wood are carried on these carriages.
Lan Family City is mostly located in desert grasslands. Even if there are many mountains and forests, there are very few thick wood.
Even if there is thick wood, it is difficult to transport it out of the mountains.
What's more, I was carried with the army like this.
"What are those?" Batchtenau stretched his neck, looking puzzled.
Even though he was knowledgeable, he didn't know what the enemy wanted to use these large woods to do.
"It must be used as a siege tool."
The words of a nobleman from Lan's city next to him reminded Batchtno.
Batchenor nodded, feeling it made sense.
The ones carried with the army must have no other purpose except weapons.
The enemies outside the city seemed to be pieced together and began to slowly assemble in the open space.
Baccartno and others looked at it for a long time from a distance, but they still couldn't understand what it was.
Markiana is located in a desert grassland northeast of the Iranian Plateau.
This place is not only grassland, but also a large oasis plain moistened by snow-capped mountains and water.
For the Funan Empire in all dynasties, this is the foundation for their expansion to the East.
Now, in order to deal with invaders from the East, Mangmanzi Shi of the Sassanian Funan Empire led an army of 100,000 to Marchiana.
As a great empire spanning the key areas of the world island, the army under Mangmanzi Shi is powerful.
There are not only noble warriors from Elam, Iran, but also Kurds, Armenians from the Caucasus mountains, Bedouin from the South Island, and Suth warriors from the grasslands.
After completing the last preparation in Mulu City, this mighty army advanced towards Baktria in the east under the leadership of Mangman Zishi.
The young Mangmanzi Shi was riding in a gorgeous carriage decorated with gold, silver and jewelry, and was listening to his military ministers explaining to himself the plan of this military attack.
"Your Majesty, those bandits from the East are known as the White Huns. I heard that they were descendants of the Huns who were intimidating from afar. This time they occupied the Kangju River, but they were all barbaric and backward. Just like the barbarians of the Huns back then, they had no means to deal with the solid walls of Bactrica."
A military officer with a hooked beard said.
As soon as he finished speaking, another official shook his head and expressed his disapproval.
"No, no, your majesty, the information I heard was not like this. Although these enemies were called the White Huns by the people in Kangju River, they were not descendants of the Huns at all, but Chinese people thousands of miles away!"
"What, Chinese people? China is not a civilized, noble and powerful country. It is almost about to catch up with my empire. How could there be such a barbarian?" The mangroudzi Shi looked unbelievable.
In the impression of the young man-man, when his teachers express something that is out of reach, they often call it "Someone who is far away in China."
The legendary China is not only a treasure land that produces wealth, but also a country as civilized as Funan.
