Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2199 Zhang Bin Enters the Horse Camp, Battle of Zhennan City

"Your Highness, Master Qibo is also injured!"

"Given today's casualties, if we don't find a solution, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for more than a few days!" Zhu Wenlong said worriedly.

The most crucial period is the first few days. If we can hold on during the first few days, the soldiers will grow rapidly in the following days.

At that point, their lives will actually be much easier.

Qi Bo was a celestial master who followed and protected the crown prince.

It wasn't that the Great Yan court didn't want to send someone stronger, but rather that there simply weren't any more suitable candidates.

The only reliable Cangjie is away on a business trip; the other two have already self-destructed.

At this point, even knowing that Qi Bo was not good at fighting, they still had to bring him out to make a name for himself. Therefore, on this trip, the Crown Prince of Great Yan only had one Celestial-level expert by his side: Qi Bo.

After all, the main purpose was to have him serve as a figurehead, not to have him fight.

Even if they really wanted to deal with Wang Xianzhi, they had 30,000 soldiers and martial arts masters recruited by the Great Yan.

Even if there aren't many grandmasters among them, and the vast majority are at the innate level or below, the group of over two hundred experts is still enough to deal with ordinary celestial beings.

Today, not only Fu Youde, but also those from Wu Zixu's direction, stormed up the city walls. And there, Qi Bo led his men to hold them off.

But as a celestial being, even if he's evenly matched with a low-level divine general, he should at least be able to hold off the opponent!

Even when facing Wu Zixu, who was still recovering from his injuries and could only exert 70-80% of his fighting strength, Qi Bo still couldn't defeat him and even suffered a minor injury.

It was only after joining forces with a half-step Celestial Being that Wu Zixu was forced to retreat.

"Your Highness, this is the Martial Emperor City!"

"The sacred land of martial arts is full of hidden talents!"

"Your Highness only needs to offer incentives to attract a group of skilled individuals to assist you!" Wen Huanzhang suggested.

Because of the special circumstances of Wudi City, this important city next to the ferry crossing had no stockpiled supplies such as catapults and ballistae. They even had to temporarily dismantle buildings to obtain rolling logs and thunderstones.

This is partly why today's siege battle is so difficult.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The city's natural resources of martial artists can be their best asset. The key is whether they can be effectively utilized.

Meanwhile, Fu Youde and Wu Zixu were also there, taking stock of today's siege battle.

In today's siege, although the enemy soldiers were not very effective, the martial artists recruited by the Great Yan and accompanied by Xuan Yuanxuanxiao caused them considerable damage.

In the environment of the city walls, their soldiers could not form large-scale military formations, making it really difficult to deal with these martial arts practitioners.

"Generals, do not panic!"

"Xuanyuan Xuanxiao can't escape!"

"Now, the enemy's 30,000 naval troops are at sea, and 30,000 of their soldiers are trapped in Wudi City by us. How many troops are left in the entire East China Sea?"

"Once these people learn that Xuanyuan Xuanxiao is trapped, they will surely be filled with panic!"

"I have already asked Luo Wang to report our situation to General Li Jing of Guangyang Road. When General Li Jing marches east, who in Donghai Road can stop him?"

“This Xuanyuan Xuanxiao will surely be our Han’s possession!” said Lu Su, the strategist general.

In his view, from the perspective of gaining merit, capturing Xuanyuan Xuanxiao directly would be more effective. However, considering the overall battle situation, trapping the enemy here would be more advantageous.

To put it simply, as long as Xuanyuan Xuanxiao has not fallen into the hands of the Han Dynasty and has not been completely settled, the other troops in the East China Sea will not give up on rescuing him.

It might even directly interfere with Xuanyuan Huang of Qingnan Road, which could directly shake up the entire war situation.

In terms of personally leading troops into battle, Lu Su was perhaps no match for Shi Lang, Fu Youde, or Wu Zixu.

However, when it comes to strategic vision and overall perspective, Lu Su is far superior to the other three.

........................

Just as Xuanyuan Xuanxiao was trapped in Wudi City, Zhang Bin, under the protection of Kunpeng, entered Yangdong Road, which is next to Guangyang Road.

He did not waste any time after entering Yangdong Road.

He directly revealed his identity as an envoy of the Han Dynasty to the local officials of Zhennan Army and requested that the local army in Zhennan arrange for troop transport vehicles to take him to see Ma Qianli, the ruler of Zhennan.

Zhang Bin didn't want to waste time on the trip; if his speculation was true, he couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Besides, his trip was to see Ma Qianli anyway, so there's no difference between revealing his identity now and revealing it after meeting him.

The fastest way to achieve this is to proactively reveal the identity of the envoy and request the Zhennan side to allocate troop transport vehicles.

Otherwise, if it really was just him and Kunpeng traveling quietly, with only four legs, by the time they arrived at their destination, it would be too late.

However, Zhang Bin had tried his best not to waste a single moment, but when he finally met Ma Qianli, he was still a step too late.

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that the Zhennan Army was indeed brave and skilled in battle. Moreover, since it was fighting on home soil, although they had still stepped into the enemy's ambush, they still managed to discover something was wrong at the last moment.

With Ma Qianli personally leading the charge, he led the Tiger Warriors to break through the enemy's ambush and even launched a counterattack.

Although some troops were lost, the losses were not severe.

In fact, it could even be said that they won a small victory.

The Zhennan Army's valiant and skillful fighting further solidified Zhang Bin's idea of ​​winning over this elite force for the Han Dynasty.

The Zhennan Army, well, how should I put it, they really like to take the initiative to attack!

Their signature unit, the Breaking Formation Tiger Warriors, is so named because of the word "Breaking Formation," which is enough to show that this unit is offensive.

However, their signature Xuanwu Formation, while capable of both offense and defense, is ultimately more defensive than offensive.

The Xuanjia Formation, which forms the basis of the Xuanwu Formation, is a purely defensive formation, which indeed affected their performance.

This time, despite being ambushed, the Tiger Warriors managed to push back three times their number of enemies, which is enough to demonstrate the bravery and skill of this unit.

Of course, since they had fallen into an ambush, although the Po Jun Tiger Warriors fought back fiercely, they still lost nearly 2000 men.

"Let's go, Mr. Kunpeng!"

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

"Soon, these 100,000-strong Zhennan Army will belong to our Great Han!"

Looking at the vast Zhennan Army camp ahead, Zhang Bin thought of the news about the Battle of Zhennan City that Luo Wang had sent not long ago, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

The battle of Zhennan City has come to an end. Although he was extremely regretful, it was precisely because of this that Zhang Bin was even more confident in taking down the more than 100,000-strong Zhennan army.
