The main battlefield is still outside the north gate of Chang'an City.

The headquarters of Tsar Andrei.

The battle at the South Gate broke out hastily, leaving Tsar Andrei baffled. He did not issue an order for a large-scale battle?

Rumbling explosions kept coming, and thick smoke could be seen even from a dozen miles away, and then the rapid beating of war drums was faintly heard.

What happened?

Tsar Andrei was furious. His current strategy was to build the Great Wall and then concentrate his efforts to attack Chang'an.

He sent troops to inquire about the news and learned that General Vajim and General Boris' tens of thousands of troops were surrounded by Zhang Yi's army!

This bad news shocked Tsar Andrei so much that his golden staff dropped to the ground.

"Who asked them to attack the South Gate?" the Tsar asked angrily.

"We don't understand the situation, Your Majesty," said Marshal Levet. "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the Guards to rescue them."

"Marshal Levget, if you take away the Guards, who will defend the base camp? What if it is Zhang Yi's trick? By the way, I once heard Wu Rui say that one of the thirty-six strategies is to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"It may also be an attack in the east, Your Majesty."

"The enemy can use tricks, why can't we use them?" Tsar Andrei said angrily, "Then let's attack the north gate and force Zhang Yi to defend the city. Won't Vadim and Boris be out of danger?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I didn't expect that your Majesty also mastered the thirty-six strategies."

"The Chinese are cunning and cunning. If you want to defeat them, you must master their strategies."

"Your Majesty is wise, but our Great Wall has not yet been built to the bottom of Chang'an City..."

"Then use the ladder, Marshal Levget!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Marshal Levget bowed and accepted the order, "I think that to guard against Zhang Yi's sudden attack, the Guards should prepare in advance."

"You are right to think so, the whole army is dispatched!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

By the time the two men discussed the countermeasures and the 60,000 Guards troops marched out of the base camp and assembled into formation, an hour had passed and the battle at the South Gate of Chang'an came to an end.



Xiao Han did not participate in the battle in the south, he had more important tasks.

Inside the north gate, the armored chariot troops were preparing to dispatch, with a total of 60 chariots.

It was made according to his original design. It was three meters long and wide and looked like a square iron box.

The interior of the chariot is divided into two layers: upper and lower. People and horses push forward on the bottom layer. The chariot has eight pairs of wheels and can be pulled by two horses.

There are two observers and two coachmen on the bottom floor. There are eight crossbowmen on the upper floor, who fire arrows through the shooting holes, and two more people who throw Molotov cocktails.

There is a covered skylight on the top of the chariot, and half of the body can be leaned out to throw Molotov cocktails.

There are a large number of arrows and Molotov cocktails stored inside, as well as water and food, so that you can hold on to your position for days and nights.

The steel plate is one centimeter thick. Once the iron door is locked from the inside, no one from the outside can open it.

Attack with fire?

A fire attack can force the people inside out, but dozens of tanks are lined up to protect each other, and the enemy will be shot before they get close.

In order not to be discovered by the enemy, the entire tank was coated with a layer of grass mud, making it look like an inconspicuous dilapidated house.

The city gate was opened, and hundreds of carriages ran out first. The carriages were filled with firewood, which were set alight as soon as they left the city. The fields were suddenly filled with thick smoke, blocking the enemy's sight.

Xiao Han rode in the command vehicle and led the chariot troops to file out, forming a long snake formation, and headed towards the enemy's base camp.

The speed is not very slow, it is equivalent to a war horse walking slowly.

But Xiao Han controlled the speed. He leaned out half of his body and looked around with a telescope.

He has to wait for the defeated army to break up and flee, and the main force of our army to pursue them.



Everything went as expected.

Nearly ten thousand remnants of the enemy fled in panic, with Zhang Yi leading all the troops in hot pursuit.

As soon as the enemy troops entered the camp outside the west gate, our troops rushed up and the camp gate had no time to close.

The archers defending the camp only fired two rounds of arrows in a hurry, and then they were fired upon by our sharpshooters who were approaching, annihilating seven, seven or eight people.

Horses trample the enemy camp and set it on fire.

There are many people staying in the camp, nearly 20,000 people, but how can they withstand the fierce attack of more than 50,000 cavalry?

The panic caused by failure is a terrible contagion, and the enemy abandons the camp and flees.

At the same time, a new army of 30,000 people rushed out of the north gate. There were not enough horses, so they were all light infantry, running into the enemy's camp.

Zhang Yi led the cavalry to pursue the enemies fleeing north, and left the rest to the light infantry to deal with them.

Perfect connection, every detail was planned in advance.

Those without horses and the few remaining in the camp who were still resisting were surrounded by 30,000 light infantry and annihilated one by one.



At the same time, Marshal Levget led the siege troops and advanced towards the north gate of Chang'an.

The smoke that filled the field made him feel a little strange, but the smoke was not particularly strong and was blown away by the wind from time to time. He did not see any people on the other side.

He could clearly see that there were hundreds of carriages burning, and the carriage drivers had already ridden away. This was no threat to the siege troops.

Marshal Levget continued to move forward decisively and boldly, passing the burning carriage, and then saw a row of earthen houses appearing on the opposite side, square and slowly advancing.

Without the protection of men and horses, and no one in sight, how could the house move on its own?

God, what the hell are they doing?

Marshal Levget was extremely surprised, confused, and seemed to pose no threat. Driven by strong curiosity, he continued to lead his troops boldly forward until he was only a dozen meters away from the earthen house.

The earthen house stopped.

Marshal Levet's troops also stopped.

The two sides faced off in silence for several minutes.

"There are wheels underneath the earthen house, Marshal Levet."

"It's just a disguised carriage, covered with wooden boards, just like our city rush vehicle."

"There are people hiding inside, and I saw a crossbowman!"

Marshal Levget also saw clearly, and he issued an order loudly.

"Come on, seize these tanks. This is a gift from Zhang Yi!"

Xiao Han exposed half of his body, ignited the Molotov cocktail in his hand, threw it towards Marshal Levget, and shouted.

"What are you talking about? You don't understand! Go to your God, Ulla!"

Even the enemies couldn't understand Xiao Han's words, but the word "Ula" was too kind.

Marshal Levget noticed something bad and hurriedly clapped his horse and retreated. The Molotov cocktail fell at the horse's feet and exploded with a bang.

Fire swept across the horse's body, and Marshal Levget rolled off his horse with a loud cry, rolling on the ground to extinguish the fire on his cloak.

The battle started. The chariot troops fired arrows and threw incendiary bottles. Suddenly there were flames and the enemies ran around.
