He rode an unusually tall Arabian horse, much taller than the surrounding horses. He wore a dark golden Western-style armor that fit closely to his body, with sharp edges and corners, and the armor was covered with radioactive grooves.
In his right hand he holds a golden staff with the imperial emblem of the double-headed eagle at the top.
Tsar Andrei was arrogant and touched his well-groomed beard from time to time. Men without beards were not respected in that country.
A few hundred meters away from the Zhenbeitai Tower, the army stopped and parted ways.
Accompanied by Wu Rui, the Tsar rode his horse to the front and stood outside the range of the crossbow.
The first thing that caught their eyes was the gold-backed black double-headed eagle flag captured by Zhang Yi. It was hung head-down on the city wall and was torn into strips, fluttering in the wind.
The Tsar was so angry that his nose was crooked. This was a great shame.
Wu Rui raised his head and glared at Zhang Yi, who was standing on the tower, cursing. He was far away and had no idea what he was talking about.
The Tsar said something to him, and Wu Rui smiled and nodded, like a pug.
Then, Wu Rui waved to Zhang Yi, indicating that he wanted to talk.
Zhang Yi would like to hear what this guy has to say.
The heavy city gate was halfway open, and Zhang Yi, accompanied by Shi Gandang, rode to the front of the two armies.
"When the boy named Zhang sees me, why don't you get off your horse and kneel down to me?" Wu Rui shouted.
Zhang Yiduan sat still on his horse, smiled coldly, and stared at Wu Rui with contempt.
"Who do you think you are, with a surname of Wu?" Shi Gandang yelled, "My sworn brother is the real dragon emperor, and you are just a lost dog. You think of the tsar as your father. The tsar is not surnamed Wu, right?"
The scolding was so harsh that Wu Rui was so angry that she almost vomited blood and threatened.
"Don't be so arrogant, you bandits! His Majesty the Tsar wants to help me ascend to the throne of the Emperor of China. He is coming today with an army of five hundred thousand. If you submit, I will spare your life and serve as a pawn! If you resist, you can stamp your feet."
I will trample you into powder!”
Zhang Yi raised his head and laughed.
With a hearty laugh, Tsar Andrei pointed at Zhang Yi with his golden staff and said something.
Wu Rui looked back at his master, then turned to Zhang Yi and said.
"His Majesty the Tsar is warning you, Zhang Yi, those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. If you go against the empire, there is only one way to die..."
"Bah, you thief, you can't spit out good things from your mouth," Zhang Yi said angrily, "Tell Tsar Andrei to go back to the bitter cold land and become his king, otherwise, I will take down his
Human heads are sacrificed to heaven. God bless China, and the invaders die!"
Wu Rui was angry and angry. How could he convey these words?
I have to say that this guy also worked hard and learned a few words in Russian.
Wu Rui turned around and muttered a few words to the Tsar. The Tsar became furious and pointed his golden staff forward. The cavalry screamed strangely and rushed towards Zhang Yi and Shi Gandang.
It's too careless, the barbarian country is rude and rude, and they want to make a sneak attack.
The two of them turned around and ran towards the city gate.
The soldiers on the city were well prepared and fired thousands of arrows. The chasing cavalry were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, falling in pieces like harvested wheat.
Wu Rui hurriedly retreated to the Tsar's side.
The bugle sounded, and the Tsar's army launched an attack. The cavalry galloped along the city wall and fired at the people on the city wall.
They can't take advantage of anything other than death.
Zhang Yi returned to the city tower and directed the battle, ordering more than a hundred catapults and more than a thousand horse-drawn giant crossbows to attack together.
Stone bullets exploded among the enemy troops, and a giant arrow could pierce seven or eight people. The violent blow caused the enemy troops to lose their position and retreat one after another.
Seeing the enemy's embarrassment, Zhang Yi burst into laughter. No wonder all dynasties spared no expense in building the Great Wall. For the nomads, this was an insurmountable barrier.
If Wu Rui had not committed treason, it would be difficult for the enemy to grasp the deployment of the Great Wall, and they would not know where the loopholes are, so they would never attack easily.
Even if they come to attack, sticking to the front line of the Great Wall is still the best option.
But things are different now. Under Wu Rui's plan, the enemy troops were divided into seven groups. It was only a matter of time before they broke through the Great Wall defense line. Moreover, they also tried to encircle the main force of our army.
Extremely insidious.
The Tsarist army retreated a mile away and began to set up camp.
Zhang Yi knew very well that they were waiting for the arrival of the siege troops.
At dusk, Zhang Yi saw billowing black smoke rising from the beacon towers on the east and west sides, which meant that the other six enemy armies were also approaching the city.
Thus began a war that would determine the fate of China.
…
Under the bright moon, Zhang Yi stood at the highest point of Zhenbei Terrace, using a telescope to look at the enemy camp.
In the central tent, the Tsar, Wu Rui and the generals were drinking and having fun. They thought they had a chance of victory and thought that our army was dominated by fear and could only wait to die in confusion.
Outside the tent, three circles of armored warriors stood on high alert. It was impossible to assassinate the Tsar.
Outside are countless bonfires. Soldiers from different barbarian tribes sit around the fire, cutting raw meat with knives to eat, drinking strong drinks in large gulps, and talking and laughing loudly.
What they ate were thousands of war horses that died on the battlefield during the day. These beasts did not carry much food and they would eat anything if they were extremely hungry.
"Brother Yi, do you want to send me to attack the camp in the middle of the night?" Shi Gandang asked.
Zhang Yi shook his head. The enemy was well prepared. With Wu Rui, a thief like him, any conventional military tactics would be unable to work.
"No, Xiaoshi, have a good meal and sleep well. After tonight, I'm afraid we will have to fight for several more days." Zhang Yi instructed.
"Okay, don't think too much about it, brother. I'll have another meal with brother, and then have a good night's sleep." Shi Gandang said.
"Well, let's have another meal..." Zhang Yi couldn't help but want to laugh. He just finished dinner two hours ago, and the little fat man was already hungry.
However, he can eat whatever he wants, and now there are conditions. In the past, the little fat man followed him across the mountains and ridges to avoid pursuing soldiers, and he was so hungry that he could only eat wild fruits and grass. It was pitiful to think about it.
"Come on, Xiaoshi, I will accompany you to dinner."
Zhang Yi grabbed the little fat man's arm and left. Shi Gandang couldn't stop laughing.
The two brothers had a big meal. Because they were retreating, they couldn't bring any of the sheep, chickens, etc. raised in the camp, so they were opened to the soldiers in the past few days.
Facing a table of barbecue, hand-chopped meat, and naan pit meat, the two of them ate hard. Only when they were full did they have the strength to kill the enemy.
At this moment, a herald met with the commander-in-chief and handed him two letters.
Zhang Yi quickly washed his hands, read Xiaolong's letter first, and reported on the various situations in Chang'an. Everything is moving forward according to plan. Please rest assured, Brother Yi.
Then, Zhang Yi read Xiao Liu's letter. He was so excited that his hands were trembling. He opened the folded paper and a scent of jasmine came to his nostrils. Juan's beautiful handwriting described Xiao Liu's longing and blessings for victory.
