Mulu City:

A city on the frontier of Central Asia, a place that must be passed if you want to enter the Western Region.

If West Asia wants to enter the Western Region, it must first enter Mulu City. There is a narrow passage from Mulu City to the Western Region.

There are steep cliffs on both sides of the passage, making it impossible to pass through. In addition, the road is narrow, and no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it will not work.

Can't be deployed.

Mulu City became a steep pass, with only one man standing in front of it and ten thousand others unable to move forward.

Ma Teng led the cavalry division and infantry division in Jin Dynasty to sneak attack Mulu City, captured it in one fell swoop, and immediately had the craftsmen with the army build fortifications.

Mulu City was under the jurisdiction of the Parthian Empire, and Mulu Kingdom was a vassal state of the Parthian Empire.

The reason why Ma Teng's army wanted to capture Mulu City was indeed because of its geographical location, which was especially important in military terms.

As long as we defend Mulu City, we can completely block the Parthian Empire's invasion of the Western Region and ensure that the Western Region is not lost.

Guo Jia sent Ma Teng and Yu Jin together, mainly because of Ma Teng's qualifications and Yu Jin's ability.

Yu Jin is a very awesome person, from another dimension, and is one of the five good generals under Lao Cao.

He is familiar with military books and good at military training.

Ma Teng is a descendant of General Fubo. He is brave and strong, especially in cavalry combat.

Ma Teng and Yu Jin joined forces, and Guo Jia hoped to create a chemical reaction to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Come in."

Ma Teng said.

"Report to General Ma, according to the intelligence sent back by Detective Ma, there is a Parthian Empire army three hundred miles to the west, and they are heading towards our Mulu City."

Send orders to soldiers.

oh!

"How many soldiers and horses are there?"

Ma Teng said.

"According to Tanma's reconnaissance, it is said that the Parthian Empire dispatched a total of 300,000 troops, including 100,000 cavalry.

There are 200,000 infantrymen, and with the addition of logistics support units, the total strength is estimated to be over 400,000."

Send orders to soldiers.

The 400,000-strong army made Ma Teng's expression change drastically.

What a joke!

Ma Teng only had one cavalry division and one infantry division in his hands, with a strength of only more than 35,000 men.

Ten times more troops and horses!

"Report the situation to my lord, General Xu Huang. In addition, tell Tan Ma to closely monitor the Parthian Empire's army, continue reconnaissance, and report new situations immediately without any mistakes."

Ma Teng said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"Go and arrest Yu Jin. Call the two generals Ma Dai. We need to discuss how to deal with the Parthian Empire's army."

Ma Teng said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"In addition, tell General Xu Shu in Haolat City about the situation in Mulu City and ask him to be careful."

Ma Teng said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

After ordering the soldiers to leave, Ma Teng spread out the map and looked at it carefully.

After a while, two generals, Yu Jin and Ma Dai, entered the tent.

"General Ma, what's the matter?"

On the forbidden road.

"General Wenze, there is a new situation. I just sent back the information from the inspection horse. It is said that it is three hundred miles away.

It was discovered that the Parthian Empire's army was coming towards our Mulu City. The Parthian army that was killed this time totaled 400,000 soldiers and horses.

Among them are 100,000 cavalry, 200,000 infantry, and 100,000 logistics troops. The detailed situation needs to be investigated further.

However, I heard from my lord that the strongest arms of the Parthian army are heavy infantry and cavalry. Maybe there will be heavy infantry in the army.

We have only 35,000 infantry and cavalry in Mulu City, and our military strength is only one-tenth of the Parthian army.

The situation is not optimistic. I have reported the situation to my lord, Military Advisor Guo, and General Xu Huang. However,

We will definitely not have reinforcements arriving in the short term. To resist the 400,000 Parthian army, we can only rely on the 35,000 infantry and cavalry in our hands. Let's discuss how to deal with the Parthian army's attack on the city."

Ma Teng said.

Generals Yu Jin and Ma Dai were extremely surprised after hearing this!

Four hundred thousand soldiers and horses!

"General, if we take Mulu City, are we stirring up a hornet's nest? The Parthians will value Mulu City so much."

Ma Dai said.

"Mulu City is an important passage for Anxi to invade the Western Region. It is a battleground for military strategists. The other party will definitely mind."

Ma Teng said.

"General Ma, with our construction and strengthening of Mulu City's defense measures, we can face the 400,000 Parthian Empire troops.

In the short term, we have the ability to ensure that the city is not lost. But in the long term, we cannot defend Mulu City, and we must find ways to suppress the attack of the Parthian army."

On the forbidden road.

An offensive battle is a battle in which both sides will inflict huge casualties. However, the defender will make fewer sacrifices, while the attacker will pay a higher price.

Kill one thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.

Faced with the advantage of the attacking side in terms of troops, they can attack day and night without giving the defenders any time to rest.

It will bring huge difficulties to the defense of the city.

There are only 15,000 infantry in Xiangmulu City. Once Xi'an attacks the city during the day and night, the 15,000 infantry cannot be rotated. The cavalry must also go to the city to stop the attack.

"Yes! Our Mulu City is in danger. No matter how endangered it is, we must defend Mulu City.

This key node can not only prevent the Parthians from invading the Western Regions, but can also be used in the future.

It is used when our army goes on an expedition. Once Mulu City is lost, the Western Region will face the invasion of the Parthians at any time.

Unless we build another pass on the other side, it will cost more and take too little time."

Ma Teng said.

Generals Yu Jin and Ma Dai nodded.

"General Ma, I humbly think that we can use these few days to let the craftsmen and soldiers continue to strengthen the city's defenses.

Arrange as many traps as possible at the west gate, set up horse traps, and block deer antlers, trying to delay as much time as possible. When the Parthian army arrives at the city gate,

We can use harassment tactics at night to prevent the Parthian soldiers from sleeping well and wait for our reinforcements to arrive before we fight the decisive battle with the Parthian army."

On the forbidden road.

"Okay! General Wen Ze will be in charge of the city's defenses, and Dai'er will be in charge of arranging scouting horses to continue reconnaissance of the Parthian army.

We must keep a close eye on the movements of the Parthian Army and not take it lightly. This time the Parthian Army is coming in force."

Ma Teng said.

"As you command!"

Yu Jin and Ma Dai clasped their fists together.

"General Wenze, you must be careful in the city, as there might be spies from the Parthian Empire lurking in the city.

Now we cannot be sure that once the Parthian army arrives, the spies in the city may take action. If there is a chance, we must arrest the spies in the city one by one and not let them cause trouble in the city."

Ma Teng said.

"As you command!"

On the forbidden road.
