However, the Qin army was far from the time to take down the outer city.

As mentioned earlier, the outer city of Mulu City is about sixty miles in length, and each side is about fifteen miles long. There are four city gates in the north, northeast, south and southwest. There are barracks near each city gate that can station tens of thousands of troops.

After half of the elite troops in the city went west again to attack the Hurami sect, only half of the soldiers in the four camps in the outer city were left. However, because the city was much green and strong, Gazervar recruited the young and strong early in the morning and filled the four camps.

At this time, seeing that the city wall was not protected, almost all the soldiers or young men had stepped down the city wall and returned to the city, obviously they were going to fight a street battle with the Qin army.

This scene was something that Sun Zhaojian didn't want to see. If Yuwen Yongnu led the army alone, he might have won the outer city by street fighting at any cost. However, Sun Zhaojian obviously didn't want to do this. If he did this, his heir would probably be completely out of the question.

However, since the enemy gave up the outer city wall, the Qin army was not polite. The Qin army near each gate entered one after another and forced the blocks near the city gate to their own military camps.

Night had completely fallen. At this time, four regular battalions had already controlled four city gates, but the Dashi Army barracks and warehouses not far from the city gate were still in the hands of the enemy. There were far more people in each camp than the Qin army. At this time, they took advantage of the cover of the night and the familiarity of the block to surround them, and then attacked at any cost, which was enough for the Qin army to drink a pot.

But until midnight, the enemy still had no movement.

Near the South Gate, in a house, Sun Zhaojian, Yuwen Yongnu, Yuque, Geng Sidu, and Xue Muyun were holding a meeting overnight to discuss.

Although Geng Sidu has mediocre qualifications, he is an old man who has fought with Sun Xiurong for decades. He has a very sensitive sense of the battlefield. He says he is mediocre because he is average in his martial arts and his knowledge is not much higher than that of ordinary people. But if he is placed in other forces, he is still a member of him.

"Prince, everyone"

Only Geng Sidu, who had followed Sun Xiurong to conquer the world early in the morning, would speak like this and put it on any other person. If Yuque is not mentioned, Yuwen Yongnu will not let go of the first one.

"The enemy probably knew that our army had not many troops. There was no way. Every regular battalion of our army, whether it was a large or small battalion, had a complete set of flags. The enemy would understand after a little attention. Then climbing up to count the number of tents and horses, it would be very touched."

"If Xue Muyun's information is accurate, then in addition to 50,000 soldiers, there can also be 100,000 young and strong men in the city, with at least 50,000. The people of the Great Food and Practitioner still hate those who do not believe in his sect, even slaves, so they will not surrender easily."

"So, seeing that the southwest gate has been broken, it is better to give up the entire outer city. The outer city is too large, so we can further disperse our army's forces. Once it is dispersed, the enemies of the four barracks in the outer city may form a situation of more fighting less in each place, because they are most familiar with the terrain."

"There is only one reason why they haven't started their actions yet..."

Sun Zhaojian nodded, "Let our army disperse first, and then take advantage of the night?"

Geng Sidu nodded, "It's most likely that. Jiazheval is said to be a famous general in the country. When our army entered the Jezhan Fort and attacked Muguo City, he should have made complete preparations in the city. Therefore, when our army successfully captured two city gates, the residents within a 100-meter-a-limited area had already run away and did not leave a grain of food. If it weren't for the preparations in the morning, how could this be the case?"

"Whether within a 100-meter radius, the buildings have walls. Obviously, from there, our army will fall into a battle of tough battles. In the middle of these buildings is their camp, and they can also support them at any time. In addition, according to Xue Muyun, since the Great Cannibal took over this big city, the granary and camp have been set up together."

"Compared with the Tang Dynasty, they were not afraid of their subordinates' rebellion, so the stored food could last for a long time."

Yuwen Yongnu asked, "But they also know that with our army's sharp firearms, they will sooner or later break through every camp, which is nothing more than a length of time... By the way, you mean that he is waiting for reinforcements, but his other 50,000 elite troops have been trapped on the front line from Semnan to Shahrud, where there are three camps led by the king himself, and they will not come easily..."

Xue Muyun inserted: "Although the vocational department has not received specific news yet, there are still a few speculations."

"Tell me and see"

"Yes, I think, with such a huge city in Mulu City and a large population, it should be easy to not need foreign aid, but where would it come from if there is foreign aid?"

"Aside from the 50,000 elite troops that have been sent out, there are only three places in Tus City, Neshapur and Herat. For the great cannibals, these three places are all mainland, and there are not many troops stationed, especially Tus City, Neshapur, which existed from the hinterland to defend Mulu City."

"They naturally have some military strength, but they certainly don't have much. If they don't have much, it would be meaningless to come to face an elite like our army. So there is only one possibility..."

At this time, Yuwen Yongnu was also staring at the map. Sun Zhaojian followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at the Tochar region. He was also shocked and thought to himself: "According to the previous information, the entire Persian region has a population of 15 million to 20 million, and the Great Khorasan region accounts for half."

"But it is already the limit for Gazhaval to set up a 100,000 army in Mulu City and its vicinity. It is impossible for more military forces to come to rescue. However, there are also two or three million people in the Tochar area at this time. Following Steynmian and Karim went to India for hundreds of thousands, but there should be at least one or two million here. The Zoroastrians have left, and the rest must be the Great Foodies. At this time, if they leave half of their men to guard the border with India, and then gather in Herat with the other half."

"Then while our army was attacking Mulu City with all its might, they suddenly appeared. They were all cavalrymen. Not to mention too many, a 30,000 elite cavalry could make our army lose sight of one thing!"

Seeing Sun Zhaojian and Yuwen Yongnu were staring at Tochar, Xue Muyun also said, "The Ministry of Justice also thinks so, the reason is"

"The Tocharians are all nomadic tribes. Gazelvar just returned from there. Didn't there be any arrangement before returning? Secondly, among the Zoroastrians who went south, in addition to the new leader of Huoxun Kingdom and some believers north of the Uhushui River, there were also a large number of Patans, but there was a force that did not follow him to India..."

At this time, even Yuque understood a little, "Ge Shu Minu?"

"Yes," Yuwen Yongnu said, "If anyone dared to lead the army to rescue Mulu City, who else would besides the newly appointed Governor of Tochari, Geshuminu, who is the one whom Mansur, is familiar with the regulations of our army and has been going south to Tochari for three years. With his ability, he would have been able to pull up an elite force of tens of thousands of people long ago."

"In Kabul, Ghazni, and Herat, there are huge workshops left by the Great Yuezhi people in the past, and there is no shortage of iron ore nearby. Even if the armor is not prepared, there is definitely no shortage of weapons. Moreover, compared with the Persians, the Tocharians' riding and shooting are stronger, and they have long been lingering in the mountains and have stronger physical strength and courage."

"Their mountain horses are very outstanding, probably the best in the world, otherwise our country would not have vigorously introduced them and cultivated them in Bosishan."

"Imagine why did Mansour, the Caliph of the Great Food Empire, go to Bir Jand, the capital of South Khorasan, personally meet with Goshuminu? Is it just to seek talented people? Expressing his demeanor of respect for wise men? Obviously, from then on, Mansour realized that once the war in Lai City and Semnan begins, our army will definitely intervene."

"And he probably guessed that he wanted to completely take down the territory that was taken away by Ibrahim and others. It was impossible for him to use Baghdad's troops alone. Only by letting Gazelvar participate. Once Gazelvar participates, the Khorasan area will be empty."

Geng Sidu nodded, "In this way, please make sure that Geshuminu is in advance. If our army intervenes from Bixian Port, he can advance from Herat and secretly assist Gazheval?"

"Yes, in fact, the most convenient thing for him is to cross the Wuhu water to attack our country's Shimizhou. However, it is obvious that our country has the advantage of the water. If he wants to complete the surprise attack on Shimizhou, he must detour the Palacio Plateau. That would be too expensive. Moreover, once he appears on the Palacio Plateau, Steynmian will not be discovered."

"Bang!"

Yuwen Yongnu clapped his hands and patted his forehead lightly.

"I understand that there must be a large army of Geshuminu here in Herat. I believe that after our army entered the Melf Oasis, his army had already sneaked northward, but I am not afraid of him along the way."

“The general means”

"Yes, it is said that Mansour also came out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Otherwise, with the power of Bingbo Silin, he would not have surrendered. With his ability, he had been in Isfahan for a long time, so why did he keep on surfing?"

"He must be waiting for the king's army to enter the vicinity of Lai City. At that time, his Mosul Governor will be able to go from the west and the Gazwar troops from the east, while he will be able to surround Lai City from the south!"

"ah!"

After saying this, Sun Zhaojian couldn't help but exclaim. Yuwen Yongnu quickly changed his smile, "Prince, don't be afraid, our army is so powerful that all counties are elite, but after all, it is the Guard Army led by the king. The Lieutenant Army is the strongest. Lao Yu, to say, you don't like to hear it, because the Melgen Camp and the Song Camp were established later, the most elite ones are Bogda, Bogra, and Aslan's third battalion!"

"These three guards can all use one to ten, just blocking enemies in three directions, and they can also take time to counterattack. In addition, most of the guerrillas that ravaged Xinyingzhou by Jiazhewar have been wiped out. In Sari, there are two local battalions under the command of Prefect Cen. At that time, militias will be used to defend the city, so that these two local battalions can cross Mount Elbours to support the king."

Geng Sidu said: "According to the general's intention, the troops under Mansour's attack on Ibrahim did not encounter a strong obstacle, but did it in a false sense?"

Yuwen Yongnu nodded, but Geng Sidu ignored Sun Zhaojian and continued to ask: "With the wisdom of the king, how could he not see through this? Why did he still arrive at Layi City?"

For a moment, he seemed to understand something.

Seeing that Sun Zhaojian was still full of worry, he quickly advised: "Prince, with the power of our army's thousand-pound cannon, it has been used on the ship. Compared with the army's standard, the ship's Gonggong cannon is longer, almost three meters, and the range is five miles. It is hard to say about Baicheng, but Derbint is stuck on the narrow land between the mountains and the sea, and the foot of the mountain is only five miles away from the sea."

"The city is naturally only two or three miles away from the sea. The Derbint line of defense is said to be solid, but that is from land. If he attacks from sea, he will leak everywhere."
