Zinav is most concerned about the situation in Crete and the Chinese people.
"Sir, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in China. The city guard has died, and the city has fallen into the hands of the enemy."
After hearing Zinav's words, Adidas immediately told the situation there.
"The city guard died for the city?
Hundreds of thousands of enemies besieged the city, so how did you escape?"
Zinav didn't believe Adida's words at all. Hundreds of thousands of enemies besieged the city. How could you escape with just a few troops?
What about deceiving people?
"Master City Guard, we found a secret passage in the city. If not for this, it would have been impossible to escape safely. In addition, when we rushed out, we also rescued all the gold and silver from the city lord's treasury."
Adida knew that the other party would definitely doubt how she escaped, so she had already thought of her excuse and told him about the gold and silver she had brought with her.
"What is the situation of the Chinese people now?
Also, where is the gold and silver in the treasury now?"
After hearing Adida's words, especially escaping with the gold and silver in the treasury, Zinav's eyes immediately lit up. He didn't care about anything else, but he still had great ideas about the treasury in Hallit City.
.
"The gold and silver in the treasury has been brought to the military camp and is just waiting for you to receive it and put it into the treasury."
Adida glanced at Zinav, knowing that he no longer cared about how he escaped, but focused on the gold and silver. He couldn't help but admire Zhao Yun's foresight. If it weren't for the other party
Let yourself pull Jinyin out, and you may not know how the other party will question you now.
"Okay, Zhou Hali."
When Zinav heard that the gold and silver had been brought to the military camp, he nodded and shouted outside.
"Lord Castle Guard."
Soon a muscular man appeared in front of the two of them.
"Immediately lead your personal guards and follow Adida to the military camp, and bring the items from the treasury to the city guard's mansion."
Zhou Hali is the chief of Zinav's personal guard and the person Zinav trusts most. As long as no one else knows about the gold and silver he brought from Hali, it is his own private collection. Naturally, he cannot let anyone who doesn't know the origin of it.
People go.
"yes."
Zhou Hali saluted directly to Zinav, then returned to the military camp with Adidas, and sent all the carts of gold and silver brought from Hali to the city guard's mansion.
"Sir, there are five carts of gold and silver in total. No one knows about it. All of them have been put into the inner treasury."
Zhou Hali whispered to Zinav and told him that the matter was done.
"Okay, you immediately send someone to Bakrat to report and inform them of the situation here."
Zinav was relieved to hear that the gold and silver had been put into storage.
"Yes, but how are you going to arrange this Adida?"
Zhou Hali nodded, but there was still another problem, and that was Adida's placement.
"He, for the time being, let the other party form a city defense army. Since the Chinese are about to come and kill them, one more person can always provide more strength."
Zinav thought about it for a while, and realized that Adidas' placement was very simple. He also had soldiers and horses, and temporarily integrating him into the city defense army would only benefit him and not harm him.
"Do you need to send someone to find out the other party's true identity?"
Hearing what Zinav meant, Zhou Hali also frowned.
"No, it's not easy for them to come from Hartree City. Let them rest first."
Now that he has obtained so much gold and silver for nothing, it is hard for Zinav to take any action against Adidas, so let's just proceed like this.
"As commanded."
Zhou Hali nodded and went directly to arrange Adida's troops. At the same time, more than a dozen people rode out of the city on fast horses and ran towards Bakrat City.
Adidas entered Harbo City, and Zhao Yun, who was far away in Hartri City, also ordered the army to set off and rode south towards Harbo City.
The cavalry marched very fast. Adidas's troops marched for two days, and Zhao Yun led his men to the outside of Harbo City in one day.
"City guard, the Chinese army is coming to kill us."
Zhao Yun's army came to attack, and Harbo City immediately entered a state of martial law. The 20,000 troops in the city were fully prepared for war, and the city walls were filled with soldiers and horses holding bows.
"Follow me to the city wall immediately."
When he heard that the Chinese were indeed coming, Zinav did not dare to neglect and immediately led his guards to the city wall.
Seeing the sea of cavalry in front of him, Zinav was really stunned. He could be regarded as an old man who had risen from the army, but so many cavalry were sent out at the same time, which was really shocking.
"Approximately how many enemies are there?"
Zinav looked directly at General Blot beside him.
"Lord City Guard, judging from the current situation, the enemy may number 80,000 to 90,000 people."
Blot glanced at Zinav, then at the enemies below the city, and directly gave the number he guessed.
"How about it?
Are you sure you can resist the opponent's attack?"
After hearing Blot's words, Zinav also frowned. Although there were 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, the opponent had already outnumbered him several times. Although the city defense here was good, it might be difficult to resist.
"If you can give me 40,000 instead of 30,000, I will have the confidence to withstand the opponent's attack. After all, they are only cavalry and have no siege equipment."
Blot glanced at Zinav. He did not lose hope because the opponent had so many soldiers and horses, but he was full of fighting spirit. He did not think that he could not withstand these cavalry.
"Okay, I will recruit an army for you. The strong young and old in the city will give you at least 50,000 soldiers. Your task is to defend the city for me until the prince's reinforcements arrive."
Now that Blot has said this, Zinav has nothing to fear. Harbo City has a population of nearly 100,000. Although most of the young people in the city have been recruited to other places, if he grits his teeth, the young and old will be strong.
We can still gather 20,000 to 30,000 people.
"Okay, I guarantee that I will be in the city."
Blot also nodded. All he can do now is try his best.
"Zhou Hali, take my order immediately to recruit the people and go up to the city wall to prepare to defend against the enemy."
"As commanded."
Zhou Hali did not hesitate and immediately went to the city to gather the young men and prepare to go to the city to support the battle.
"General, do you want to surrender?"
Zhao Feng looked at the city wall in front of him and the soldiers on it, and directly clasped his fists at Zhao Yun.
"If they only have 2,000 people, it's okay to persuade them to surrender, but you don't know that there are 20,000 soldiers and nearly 100,000 people in Harbo City. If the other party is willing, they can easily organize two to three people.
Ten thousand soldiers, 50,000 enemies rely on the walls of Harbo City to defend themselves. If it were you, would you surrender?"
Zhao Yun glanced at Zhao Feng next to him. If this place was like Hallit City, with only two or three thousand people defending it, they would definitely not dare to resist. But the current situation is that they have absolute strength to defend this place, why should they carry traitors?
in the name of surrendering to China.
"Then why don't we summon General Huang Zhong back? After all, he has 50,000 cavalry there."
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhao Feng spoke again. After all, Huang Zhong had 50,000 cavalry. Bringing them over would also enhance his own strength.
"Well, send a telegram immediately to ask Huang Zhong to lead 30,000 cavalry back, and the remaining 20,000 cavalry will continue to blockade Harbo City."
Zhao Yun also nodded. Now that he has surrounded Harpo City, there is no need for fifty thousand people on the perimeter. Twenty thousand people are more than enough. If the remaining thirty thousand people join here, they can also strengthen their momentum.
"promise."
Soon the telegram was sent. Huang Zhong left 20,000 cavalry on the outside and led an army of 30,000 to advance towards the city of Borha.
"Zhao Feng, immediately order the soldiers to prepare trebuchets to attack the city. The sooner they are launched, the more Adidas will be launched and the safer they will be."
Zhao Yun glanced at the city wall and directly ordered his soldiers to set up trebuchets and prepare to attack the city.
Upon hearing Zhao Yun's order, the thirty trebuchets brought by Huang Zhong were lined up and assembled under the city wall.
"what is that?"
Zinav glanced at the trebuchet position under the city and couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"Lord City Guard, according to rumors, there is a siege equipment in China called a trebuchet. It can smash boulders weighing more than a hundred kilograms at a distance of hundreds of steps. I think those things assembled under the city now are trebuchets."
Blot glanced at Zinav, frowned and said the name of the trebuchet.
"Is it so magical to throw a boulder weighing more than 100 kilograms hundreds of steps away?"
After hearing Blot's words, Zinav couldn't help but frowned. It was really hard for him to believe that there was such a thing.
"Master City Guard, I would rather believe it than believe it. Although it is just a rumor, I believe that such a thing is not groundless."
To be honest, Blot actually didn't believe it, but these were what he heard, so he could only believe them or not.
"Then do you have any countermeasures?"
Since he would rather trust his presence than his absence, he could only hope that Blot would take countermeasures.
"As for countermeasures, I've thought about it before. It's not that there are no countermeasures."
Sure enough, Blott really had a plan to deal with it.
"Tell me how you need my support, and I will definitely satisfy you."
Hearing Blot's words, Zinav's expression also perked up. If he didn't have countermeasures, it would be difficult for him to resist the opponent.
"I need a lot of cloth curtains, and then tie them up with flagpoles to use as an interception net. Then when the enemy's trebuchets come, it can block all the enemy's stone bullets like a cloth bag."
Blot glanced at Zinav and directly expressed his thoughts.
"It's you after all. I will immediately arrange for people to arrange it according to your instructions."
Zinav also smiled slightly, now that there is a way, everything will be easy to solve.
He immediately sent people to organize, collect curtains, dismantle the flagpoles in front of the wine shop and the door shop, and assemble a hypothetical interception net, preparing to intercept the stone projectiles launched by the Chinese trebuchets.
