The Western Xia's Iron Harrier heavy cavalry was indeed famous, but unfortunately there were not many of them.
You know, cavalry is a very valuable type of soldier, let alone heavy cavalry.
War horses and armor are very expensive things and ordinary families cannot afford them.
Therefore, the Iron Harriers were usually composed of children of nobles, and their armor was passed down from their ancestors.
"So now that the Iron Harrier has appeared in this place, it represents the attitude of the Xixia nobles, right?"
Looking at the two hundred Iron Harriers below, Guo Bei's face looked extremely ugly.
This behavior of Xixia was undoubtedly a betrayal.
You have to know that the two parties have just signed an alliance, and you, Xixia, have taken advantage of it, and suddenly you play this trick, right?
Fan Zeng, on the other hand, was quite calm, because when he was studying with Lu Chen, he knew what kind of people these Western Xia people were.
In Lu Chen's words, you cannot use your own moral values to demand others. Not every nation understands the meaning of things like propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.
Looking at the Iron Harriers below, Fan Zeng thought for a moment and then ordered those around him, "Get all the gunpowder! If so many of them attack our gate at the same time, we won't be able to withstand it."
After giving the order, Fan Zeng nodded to Guo Bei. Guo Bei stepped forward and shouted angrily at the Iron Harriers below, "Who are you? Find someone who can speak!"
As soon as the words fell, an Iron Harrier came forward with a whip on his horse. After taking off his helmet, he looked up at Guo Bei on the arrow tower and said, "We are the Xixia Iron Harriers. My name is Cha Keqin, and I am a marquis."
"Just now, when we were outside, we discovered that your country's ambassador was attacked. We specially escorted him back. Please open the door."
A sneer appeared on Fan Zeng's lips. You dare to brag about escorting people back? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?
"Thank you very much for escorting Lord Ning back. Please leave Lord Ning at the door. We will naturally arrange for someone to treat him. After all, this is our concession. It is against the rules for you to suddenly barge in, so please go back."
Fan Zeng’s meaning was very clear: everyone stays here, and you guys get out. It’s absolutely impossible for us to open the door.
Upon hearing this, Cha Keqin frowned, and the warhorse under him began to pace uneasily.
Cha Keqin grabbed the reins and frowned, "What do you mean by this? We sent the people to you out of kindness, and if you didn't appreciate it, that's fine. But why are you so wary of us now?"
"Be on guard against you? Did I? We agreed on this when we signed the contract. The concession is equivalent to our country's temporary territory. You Xixia people, without even saying hello, brought so many people into my home. Tell me if this is too much. As the owner of this place, what's wrong with me being on guard?"
Fan Zeng waved his hand to indicate that you must not talk to me about being a real man. So what if I am a coward? If you have the guts, go ahead and bite me!
Seeing that this excuse didn't work, Cha Keqin immediately changed his words and said, "Just now, my people saw the assassin of Lord Ning entering your embassy. To ensure your safety, please open the door and let me take people in to check. If there is really no one there, we will leave immediately."
Fan Zeng thought to himself, if I believed it, I would be mentally retarded.
"The one who was injured was Lord Ning, and the incident happened on my territory. Anyway, you Xixia people have nothing to do with this, so please leave as soon as possible."
"So there's no room for negotiation? Then what if I have to bring someone in today?"
As soon as he saw that the other party started to act like a rogue, Guo Bei instantly became interested.
He is naturally no match for many people when it comes to talking, but when it comes to a real fight, he believes that no one is better than him.
He took a step forward and raised his hand, and the archers on the arrow tower were immediately ready.
Guo Bei looked at Cha Keqin below and said, "Master Cha, I advise you to leave quickly. As the saying goes, swords have no eyes. If any conflict really arises, I'm afraid it will affect the relationship between our two countries."
Upon hearing this, the disdain on Cha Keqin's face became even more obvious. He simply stopped pretending and sneered, "The relationship between the two countries? Don't you know? Now that over 300,000 troops have surrounded the capital of Da Qi, the country of Da Qi may soon no longer exist in this world!"
"You fart!"
The people of Da Qi on the arrow tower could not bear to hear this, and they cursed Cha Keqin with all kinds of dirty words.
Cha Keqin was also furious at the scolding. He immediately drew the long sword from his waist and raised it above his head, saying, "I'll give you a cup of tea. Open the door immediately, or we will force our attack."
Hearing this, Guo Bei showed a disdainful smile on his face and said, "Look, why did you say such high-sounding things before? In the end, you just wanted to come in and do something bad."
"Grandson, I'm leaving this message here today. If you want to come in, you have to leave behind over a hundred lives first!"
After saying that, Guo Bei didn't tolerate the other party. He raised his hand, and the soldiers on the arrow tower drew their bows and drew their arrows!
The Xixia Iron Harriers were not very afraid of the bows and arrows in the soldiers' hands because they were wearing heavy armor and ordinary bows and arrows could hardly cause any harm to them.
But seeing that the terrifying siege crossbow on the arrow tower was aimed at them, they no longer remained calm.
Seeing this scene, Cha Keqin's brows twitched wildly.
He also didn't expect that these people from Da Qi would resist so stubbornly on their own territory!
Looking at the cold arrow of the siege crossbow, he was also a little scared.
But then he thought again about the various promises his immediate superior had made to him before he came, and he felt that he was capable of it.
Since neither side wanted to back down, there was nothing more to discuss. He waved the long sword in his hand and said, "Everyone prepare, attack formation!"
At the same time, Guo Bei, who was standing on the watchtower, also gave the order: "Everyone, prepare the explosives, and throw them!"
Before the Iron Harriers began their charge, countless explosives were thrown at them, and many of them fell into the crowd.
At this moment, the people of Western Xia did not know how powerful these small blocks were. They were still mocking the weapons used by the soldiers of the Great Qi Dynasty, which were not painful at all.
But their mounts kept pacing and neighing, looking very annoyed.
"Alright, since you're so stubborn, I won't waste any more time talking to you! Follow me, and let's break down their gate!"
After saying that, Cha Keqin was about to lead the charge, and it was at this time that the fuse burned out.
With a loud bang!
Cha Keqin is going to heaven!
