Chapter 644: Soldiers Descend on the City

Under Liu Zheng's inquiry, Pan Shuai naturally didn't dare to hide anything, so he replied to Liu Zheng.

"Hui Lord, I have already communicated with these people, these southern barbarians, there is no possibility of peace talks, they want to help the remnants of the Linyi State to restore the country, give us three days, let us evacuate here, otherwise the army will overwhelm the border and take the initiative to attack us."

Pan Shuai naturally has no good impression of these people from Funanguo, so in the dialogue with Liu Zheng, he didn't give any favor to Funanguo, and he didn't have any good words at all.

Liu Zheng did not negotiate in person, but from Pan Shuai's tone, he could roughly understand.

Since Pan Shuai said that there is no possibility of peace talks with these people from Funan, they can only fight with them.

Anyway, Liu Zheng didn't think about making peace with these people from Funan this time, he came this time to eliminate these small countries in one fell swoop and unify the entire Southeast Asia.

The reason why he sent people to negotiate was just to let Pan Shuai explore the reality of these people from Funanguo and see if the other party had the ability to attack Linyi County.

However, judging from the information obtained now, the other party came prepared, raising 50,000 troops and horses, and the purpose was obvious, that is, to seize Linyi County and help the remnants of Linyi restore the country.

"These people and horses of Funan Country are just some barbarians, and they still want to attack our Han Heavenly Army, it's really ridiculous, Wentai, guarding Linyi County, half a month is enough, when Zhou Cang leads the soldiers and horses to come, we can fight back and kill these barbarians in one fell swoop."

After Liu Zheng and Pan Shuai understood the situation, they instructed Sun Jian.

Sun Jian still had 12,000 soldiers and horses in Linyi City, plus 5,000 sailors led by Liu Zheng, and hundreds of his own personal soldiers.

In Linyi City, there are at least seventeen or eight thousand soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, and these people in Funan are all barbarians who have only been civilized for a long time, not to mention the siege equipment, but they don't even have many decent weapons.

After the negotiation was over, Liu Zheng didn't care about it, and the two sides waited here for three days.

Three days later, sure enough, according to what Pan Shuai said, the armies of the Funan Kingdom began to gradually approach Linyi City from the periphery.

The appearance of tens of thousands of troops, black pressing, emerged from the forest, but these people from the southern country wore mostly animal skins, and few wore Han cloth clothing, as for the armor, it was even rarer.

At first glance, it looks like a savage, but where will there be the same standard equipment as the Han people?

After Liu Zheng saw the appearance of these people, he sneered, but he did not despise these Funan people at all.

Although these people's equipment is not good, it does not mean that these people's combat effectiveness is not good, they can live in this kind of subtropical place all the year round, which itself has proved that their ability, in exchange for Liu Zheng, a person from the Central Plains, to live in Southeast Asia for a period of time, is also difficult.

After all, the snakes, insects, rats, ants, poisonous smoke and miasma here are not comparable to the Central Plains, and the current era, not the modern era of later generations, many places are primeval forests, which have not been developed, even if they are marching, it is easy for the soldiers to be infected with diseases, so as to collapse.

Only these people from Funan Country, who have more experience in living in this kind of place, can come here from the place of Funan Country.

The horns blew, and some war elephants rushed through the woods in the distance.

The sound of a puff came, and Liu Zheng, who was standing on the city tower, looked at it and finally saw clearly what these people from Funan relied on.

War elephants, elephant soldiers, this is something more terrible than cavalry.

Cavalry had little effect in such places. First, there are no horses here, all the horses are transported from the far north, and it is impossible for horses to adapt to the climate here, and even if they do, it is difficult to adapt to the mountainous terrain here.

The second is that there is no wide enough plain here, and the impact of the cavalry cannot be fully exerted. Even if there are cavalry, when facing the soldiers, they have no ability to fight back.

But war elephants are different, they are man-made domesticated elephants, they are huge, they can have the charging ability of war horses, and even more than war horses.

At that time, it gave Liu Zheng a great impression, and now he finally saw these elephant soldiers again, which was enough to make Liu Zheng feel a little touched, although these people from Funanguo did not have any powerful siege equipment, but with these elephant soldiers, with some archers, it was enough to disturb Liu Zheng's defenders on the city tower.

After the appearance of the war elephants, it didn't take long for some leaders to appear outside the city, such as General Fan Man, who was barely wearing armor, Fan Yi, the former prince of Linyi State, and some remnants of Linyi State.

At this time, Liu Zheng, under Pan Shuai's identification, had already recognized General Fan Man who was sitting on the war elephant.

Liu Zheng stared at Fan Man, although he felt that this guy was a little burly, but he was very wild. It's not like these Han people around Liu Zheng.

When Liu Zheng was still looking at these troops of the Funan Kingdom, Fan Yi, who was standing beside Fan Man, spoke to Liu Zheng's side first.

"Listen, people of the city, since you do not choose to retreat, prepare to meet our wrath!"

Liu Zheng glanced at it from a distance, and recognized Fan Yi, the former prince of Linyi Kingdom, at a glance.

"Fan Yi, it's you. I haven't seen you for so many years, I didn't plan to continue to pursue you, but I didn't expect you to run back, did you come back to send you to death? ”

Liu Zheng glanced at it, and still replied to Fan Yi, for Liu Zheng, Fan Yi and these people are nothing, even if they forcibly attack the city, Liu Zheng is sure that he can hold this city, even if the other party breaks the city at all costs, Liu Zheng also has some confidence that he can fight with the other party.

Fan Yi originally wanted to show off his might in this Linyi City, after all, he found tens of thousands of troops to come back this time, but he raised his eyebrows and exhaled, with the help of these tens of thousands of troops, Fan Yi thought that it was a sure thing for him to recapture Linyi County and re-establish Linyi State.

Especially now that he saw Liu Zheng here, Fan Yi not only did not feel a trace of fear, but became more and more excited, because only when Liu Zheng was here, he could settle the old account a few years ago.

"Liu Zheng, it's you! Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be still here, great, great, this time I must kill you and those followers of yours, so that you can also taste the taste of destruction! ”
