This also made Fan Rui, Dong Ping, Qin Ming and others in Xuzhou City feel extremely secure when they defended the city.

If you set up a ladder to attack, then I will stand on the top of the city, roll down the wooden thunder stones, and smash you into a pulp.

If you get tired of throwing rolling logs and thunder stones from above, just light a fire to boil water, and then pour it down from above.

You must know that the height of Xuzhou City is more than [-] meters.

Even if they were thrown straight down from the middle position, it would still be enough to knock those alien soldiers into pieces, and even break their legs and hands.

What if some Japanese soldiers and Goguryeo soldiers were extremely physically fit and could climb to the top of the city even in the face of such an offensive?

Then there are hundreds of archers waiting there.

After a round of arrows, the alien soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city were guaranteed to turn into hedgehogs in an instant.

Judging from the current situation, as long as the defensive equipment in Xuzhou City is extremely sufficient, it will definitely be able to continue this defensive battle with the enemy forces outside the city.

However, the various sieges by enemy forces outside the city also had a considerable impact on some things inside the city.

For example, information transmission is really not easy to do.

So the decision was made after extensive deliberations between the three generals, Dong Ping, Qin Ming, and Fan Rui, and the three deputy generals, Shan Tingsi, Wei Dingguo, and Xiang Chong.

Taking advantage of the time in the middle of the night when the enemy relaxed their vigilance, they would release spies to report their battle damage to Tokyo.

The next morning.

Zhao Ji, with his sleepy eyes, had just sat down on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace.

At Zhongshidao, the Xuzhou battle report that had just been received was handed over to Zhao Ji through the hands of Eunuch Sheng.

And after Zhao Ji read the battle report, the expression on his face couldn't help but become serious:

"My dear friends, I never thought that the speculations I made that day would actually come true at this time."

"According to this battle report sent back from Xuzhou City, not only the Japanese Kingdom has sent out no less than [-] Japanese troops."

"Then Goguryeo also sent out a cavalry force that was almost equivalent to that."

"In this way, the number of enemies encountered in Xuzhou has reached a full 20."

"Judging from the current situation, unless Dong Ping, Qin Ming, and Fan Rui can send all five tanks in Xuzhou City to the battlefield."

"Otherwise, the current situation is really not very optimistic."

"Of course, another way is to transfer all the [-] troops and horses hoarded here in the capital to Xuzhou."

"Then we will engage in a pincer attack with the troops from Xuzhou and the troops from Japan and Goguryeo who are entrenched outside the city of Xuzhou."

"In this way, we might be able to win."

"But now..."

Zhao Ji was just halfway through his analysis when he saw another eunuch hurriedly coming outside the palace to deliver a message.

Looking at the anxious look on the other side's face, it was obvious that an extremely important battle report had come from elsewhere.

Zhao Ji frowned, and then asked the messenger eunuch to pass up the battle report in his hand.

When Zhao Ji read the battle report from front to back, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

But immediately there was a hint of surprise.

And when Zhao Ji told all the contents of the war newspaper to the civil and military officials of the court.

Even Su Yuanjing, who was the most cautious by nature and thought the most, couldn't help but sigh at this moment:

"The Jin cavalry and Liao surrender troops encountered at Daming Mansion were so powerful, but they did not get involved with the soldiers and horses at Daming Mansion at all. They just wanted to bypass Daming Mansion."

"What Wei Chen guessed, but its meaning is also very obvious."

"It's just that we want to gather a large number of troops to attack our Tokyo city first, and then force the officials to leave the city and surrender."

"But right now, due to the various obstructions by General Lu and others, the offensive of those thieves has been indirectly delayed."

"But no matter how powerful General Lu and others are, there are only one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in the Daming Mansion."

"Although this battle report does not state the total number of troops and horses of the Great Golden Cavalry and the troops surrendered by the Liao Kingdom."

"But Wei Chen guessed that the number of his troops should not be less than 20."

"In terms of numbers alone, even if General Lu and others in the Daming Mansion drag the opponent with all their strength, they may not be able to delay them for long."

"So here we have to make plans early."

Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon throne, nodded involuntarily after listening to Su Yuanjing's analysis:

"What Su Aiqing said is true."

"But right now, our troops in the capital can no longer be dispatched casually."

"After all, we only have one hundred thousand soldiers and horses here."

"Even if all the generals are sent over at this time, with the bravery of the Jin Kingdom's cavalry, they may not be able to hold the opponent firmly in the end."

"So now, we have to think of a more secure method here."

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, the huge Jinluan Hall was temporarily silenced.

All the civil servants were looking at each other, and their hearts were filled with panic.

What about those generals?

Although the eyes were full of fighting spirit, the pair of tightly knitted eyebrows also showed the difficulty of such a battle.

I don't know how long it took.

Zhao Ji just sighed slightly:

"Ai Qing Zhong, a lot of the information we get right now is inaccurate."

"After the court ends today, you go to the intelligence gathering office and ask that office to send out more spies to find out the specific number of enemy troops and who are the commanders of each army."

"As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be in danger."

After Zhongshidao received such instructions, he kept them in mind.

When the court was over, they hurriedly found the person in charge of the intelligence collection office.

And conveyed Zhao Ji's meaning to the past.

As for the Intelligence Collection Office, this investigation took more than three days.

The news that was discovered could not help but shock the civil and military officials of the entire court with their mouths agape.

This time, passing through the north of the capital, it was the Dajin cavalry and the Liao soldiers who had a fight with Lu Junyi and other generals in Daming Mansion.

The troops led by Da Jin were mainly cavalry, with a total strength of 20.

The commander of the army was the famous Dajin general, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, and Wanyan Zongbi.

The Liao Kingdom surrendered more than 5 soldiers, and the leading generals were He Yun, He Cai, Gao Biao, Xiao Daguan, Di Sheng, and Lei Chun.

However, those who led the army to the east of the capital and fought siege battles with generals Qin Ming and Dong Pingping in Xuzhou were the invading enemies of Goguryeo and Japan.
