Hanlan is a brave nomadic people in the north. The cavalrymen grew up on horseback and are all brave and good at fighting!
As the Hanlan tribe conquered everywhere and annexed dozens of small tribes in the surrounding areas, the current Hanlan Kingdom was established.
However, precisely because of its strength, it began to be dissatisfied with the status quo.
Hanlan is located in the northern border, where it is winter most of the year, making it difficult to harvest crops in the fields.
The only way to solve Hanlan's food problem is to rely on trade with Longyin and Daqing.
As a result, generations of Hanlan people have been worried about how to have enough food and clothing!
So, they turned their attention to the neighboring country, where the climate changes throughout the year, and the land is fertile and prosperous.
And Han Lan had indeed tasted the sweetness from the hands of the previous emperor.
The area west of the Fen River to the Xuefeng Mountain, which is now the two cities of Yunling County and Canglong County, was once given to Hanlan as a gift of friendship between the two countries.
But what can be done? Han Lan is too ambitious and is not satisfied with just two cities. He repeatedly attacks Fencheng from Yunling!
After Emperor Chongde ascended the throne, he immediately sent General Lan to lead the troops to the north. It took three years and he finally recaptured the two cities west of the Fen River from the Hanlan cavalry!
However, Han Lan had felt the goodness of the land of Longyin, so he naturally couldn't forget it. For many years, he had been harassing the border of Fencheng from time to time.
This time, Si Junshan led his army northward and it took two years to annihilate the 40,000 Hanlan troops!
Years ago, Han Lan sent envoys to Longyin for peace talks. Everyone thought they were scared because of being beaten, but unexpectedly, they put forward extremely ridiculous demands!
Otherwise, Long Yin will compensate Han Lan with 50,000 dan of rice, plus eight cities in Fencheng Prefecture!
Or, let King Mo Ying and Han Lan get married.
And if King Mo Ying, the general who commands the western suburbs camp, were to marry Han Lan, it would inevitably create a rift with the Longyin court, which would be greatly disadvantageous to Longyin!
Naturally, this peace talk failed.
Afterwards, Han Lan sent another letter promising to come back for peace talks next year, but he didn't expect that it was just to deceive Long Yin!
Qi Moli led eight thousand Longyin soldiers to assemble at the north gate of Yunling County!
Under the gray sky, he stood in a heroic posture, dressed in armor, sitting astride his steed, and shouted:
"My fellow soldiers, follow me and defend Longyin's territory to the death!"
Less than 8,000 soldiers raised their arms and shouted:
"We must defend every inch of our territory!"
"We must defend every inch of our territory!"
"We must defend every inch of our territory!"
When the soldiers shouted this, they were afraid in their hearts, but no one retreated!
The soldiers were outnumbered, but they died bravely in battle and sacrificed their lives for their country, but they would never be cowards or dogs!
They also knew that behind them, there were 70,000 brothers who had no power to fight back, and tens of thousands of civilians waiting for their protection!
Fifty steps outside Yunling City, Yuan Shuhuai of the Hanlan Army, riding on a tall horse, raised his head and shouted loudly:
"King Mo Ying, how are you? Are you okay?"
On the city wall, Qi Moli narrowed his eyes slightly, overlooking the dark and massive Han Lan army outside the city gate, his heart sinking slightly.
This battle is too difficult!
He once led a few men to attack the enemy camp and kill their general, and he also led 30,000 soldiers to defeat 50,000 enemy troops!
And today, eight thousand soldiers are fighting against Han Lan’s army of one hundred thousand!
The disparity in numbers is really too huge!
Qi Moli collected his thoughts, looked down at Yuan Shuhuai, and said loudly:
"Of course the King is fine!
"But General Yuan has lost seven cities in a row, so I guess it's not going to be easy for him, right?"
He originally had some admiration for Yuan Shuhuai.
But now about the poisoning incident in Yunling City, he didn't believe that Yuan Shuhuai was completely unaware of it!
Such despicable means made him overestimate this person!
Under the city wall, the smile on Yuan Shuhuai's face gradually disappeared!
Losing seven cities in seven days was the greatest shame of his life!
He wanted to see how the Longyin soldiers, who couldn't even stand steadily, could fight against his Hanlan Iron Cavalry?
Yuan Shuhuai stared at Qi Moli, who was wearing military uniform and had an unchanged expression on the city wall.
For a moment, he even wondered if something had happened in the city.
Then he dismissed the idea. The poison was personally administered by the prince's personal guard, so there would be no mistakes!
He was looking forward to the fact that Long Yin, the undefeated God of War, would be defeated by him!
Yuan Shuhuai waved his arm vigorously and shouted:
"Warriors of Hanlan, listen to my orders! Fight!"
For a moment, in the wilderness outside the city gate, the horses of the Hanlan army neighed and swarmed towards Yunling City!
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Along with the shouts of the Hanlan army charging into battle, dense arrows rained down, making whistling sounds in the air!
The huge stones thrown out by several catapults slammed into the city wall, making a deafening noise!
On the city wall, Qi Moli gave an order:
“Be prepared for defense!
Cavalry Battalion, attack! "
The Cavalry Archery Battalion immediately changed their formation, set up their crossbows, and shot accurately at the Hanlan Army under the city!
Then, burning logs and huge boulders were thrown towards the city like raindrops!
But no matter how accurate the arrows and crossbows were, no matter how many logs and boulders there were, they could not withstand the attack of the tens of thousands of Hanlan troops!
Soon, countless Hanlan troops rushed to the foot of Yunling City!
They set up dozens of ladders and placed them on the wall of Yunling County, and then countless Hanlan soldiers climbed up the wall using the ladders!
At the city gate, there was the sound of battering rams hitting each other violently!
Qi Moli immediately shouted, "Use the Wolf Fang Clap!"
Dozens of wolf-fang paddles smashed down heavily, and in a few moments, the Hanlan Army that was climbing up the ladders was smashed into pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere!
But even so, many Hanlan soldiers climbed up the city wall and fought with the Longyin soldiers!
