The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 617: Seizing the City

Therefore, Mohan City must be recaptured. When he knew that the Indian and Daxia coalition forces were attacking, he was ready to send troops to guard Mohan City.

But who would have known that Jiang Fan would launch a blitzkrieg and occupy the city of Mohammed before his deployment was completed.

"The army sent to the city of Mohammed must have a force of 100,000, or even 200,000." Netani looked at the Hebrew generals and the generals of the Persian Empire.

Everyone frowned when they heard this. Most of them had never had any contact with Jiang Fan and the Daxia Army. Therefore, when they heard that Netani was going to send so many troops to deal with an army of 25,000 people, they thought it was an exaggeration.

Even if the enemy defeated 50,000 defenders when they captured Mohammed City, they would only think that the defenders were careless and gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

Not to mention, in addition to the city of Mohammed, several positions among the army sent by Netani were garrisons of other important places.

These places are where grain is produced and where water sources are located. Once the enemy takes advantage of the opportunity to seize these places, they will not only lack weapons, but also food and water!

If you are not careful, you might end up getting stuck in the quagmire of war and be beaten passively.

"Sir Netani, I think you can wait a little longer. After the army gathers, send troops to recapture the city of Mohan. If you lose your composure now, you might fall into Chan's trap."

At this time, Jiang Zheng, who was attending the meeting, spoke.

His words aroused the agreement of many others, who nodded. Netani was too flustered and acted hastily. He didn't care about the consequences.

Hearing this, Netani looked at Jiang Zheng and said, "Mr. Jiang, how about your 200,000 troops go to help me take back Moham City. After all, it will take some time for our army to arrive. And your army can save us time. Besides, the opportunity for war is fleeting, and we can't wait now!"

"Once the Great Xia Army has established a firm foothold in Mohan City and made sufficient preparations, I am afraid that by then, even if we send more troops there, it will be in vain."

Netani set his sights on Jiang Zheng's 200,000-man army. Jiang Zheng said he wanted to cooperate with him, but Jiang Zheng obviously wanted to preserve his strength and just wanted to use him.

However, he felt that Jiang Zheng should still be useful, so he did not fall out with Jiang Fan. Now, there was a chance to make Jiang Zheng bleed.

However, as soon as he said this, Jiang Zheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Netani, it's not that I don't want to send troops, but our army is in the Middle East and is not familiar with the terrain. I'm afraid it will be bad if we go. Moreover, our army's equipment is too poor. Even if we have 200,000 soldiers, we may not be a match for the enemy's 25,000 soldiers. Let's forget about it!"

Of course Jiang Zheng would not become the other party's cannon fodder, so he refused neither softly nor hard. Moreover, his words implied that it was not impossible for the other party to ask him to take action.

However, you have to meet my needs, such as equipping us with new weapons. Moreover, you have to send troops to assist us, after all, we are not familiar with the terrain!

Upon hearing this, Netani sneered in his heart. This guy wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a weapon from him without any effort. It was too wishful.

Even if he gave the weapon to Jiang Zheng, he was afraid that this guy might not necessarily help him. He might even hinder him. He was just testing the waters, but he would not really agree to the other party's request.

"Since Mr. Jiang is not convenient, I will not force him. Let's do everything ourselves. Just do as I say... transfer 100,000 troops from the four nearest cities, and prepare another 100,000 troops to be ready for support at any time."

Netani made the decision at this time.

As soon as he said this, the other people looked unhappy, but they finally agreed. Who made Netani the boss now? Among them, most of the Persian generals have been controlled by opium.

After the generals discussed for a while, they left the meeting place.

Soon, the six cities closest to Mohammed City began to send out their garrisons. There were not many garrisons in these six cities, and most of them came from the rear to support them.

They were originally here to protect six important cities, especially four of them. They not only controlled most of the Persian Empire's grain, but also nearly half of the Persian Empire's water sources.

If these cities were occupied, they would be short of food and water in most places. The battle formation on their side had just begun, but they were already a little confused.

But Netani is the boss now, so he can do whatever he wants. Even though this guy doesn't know much about military affairs, no one dares to openly disobey him.

As for Jiang Zheng, when he saw the other side sending the army, his eyes flickered. The confidant beside him looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we have to find another place."

Before the battle even started, they had already seen that Netani would lose. How should I put it? The strategic vision of the Chinese was better than that of people from other places.

China's cultural heritage over the years is not just talk, the Thirty-Six Stratagems and various military tactics have emerged one after another. It would be strange if Neta Pi did not lose if he messed around without any rules.

Netani may feel that he has enough troops and can kill the enemy even at the cost of human lives, but wars are never fought with numbers but with strategic deployment.

"Find another place?! Where can we go?" Jiang Zheng's face looked very ugly when he heard this. He hid in the Western Regions and even took over the Western Regions.

But what happened in the end? He had just ignited his ambition to attack China, but he was defeated in an instant. The Western Region Kingdom that he had built with great difficulty was taken away just like that.

He felt that Jiang Fan was his nemesis. Ever since he met Jiang Fan, nothing had gone smoothly for him. First it was Liaoxia, then the Western Regions, and now he was in Persia. He wanted to use Persia to establish another country and develop slowly.

Even after seeing the advanced weapons of the Hebrews, he wanted the Hebrews to help him, no matter how great the price, even welcoming the Hebrews to China, he was willing to do so.

But the problem is that the Hebrews are not easy to get along with. They will not help him too much before they get enough benefits.

Otherwise, he would not have wanted to take the opportunity to ask the other party to support him with weapons just now. He believed that as long as he got the other party's weapons, he could research and develop the same ones from them.

But the Hebrew people obviously didn't fall for it and didn't give him a chance.

In addition, Netani's outrageous actions have made him see no hope. Now, where else can he go except the Persian Empire?
