Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 68 You don’t know how weak I am, and I don’t know how strong you are
The city-state of Barigansa is a relatively small city-state in the Delhi Sultanate, with a permanent population of more than [-] people.

There are dozens of small villages around it, with probably more than 2 residents living there, and their lives are usually quite prosperous.

But just a month ago, everything completely changed. A group of brutal cavalry appeared out of nowhere.The neighboring city-state of Muhara, including the main city of Muhara, and all the surrounding villages were swept away.

It is said that nearly 10 people died, and all the men, women, and children in the surrounding villages were slaughtered.All the cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and other livestock they raised were also taken away.

Even their main city was massacred. This news shocked the city-state of Barigansa, the city lord, a group of nobles, and ordinary people.

After many inquiries, we found out that this group of ferocious cavalry came from the Khwarezm Kingdom. They invaded the Khwarezm Kingdom a few years ago and destroyed the powerful Khwarezm Sultanate.

Even Lord Sultan was killed. Could it be that these devil-like cavalry are now targeting them?The Delhi Sultanate also came to destroy them.Suddenly the whole city was in panic.

In the outlying villages, a large number of ordinary people poured into the city. There was no way to defend the cavalry troops in the villages. A cavalry force of several hundred people could uproot nearby villages.

In the past few days, the entire territory has been in panic, and all the people are restless.

Many civilians and nobles even left the city with their families and headed to the interior of the Delhi Sultanate, or even left the Delhi Sultanate directly.

Take refuge in the southern countries such as Khandur, Bengal, Jijarat, Sindh, Khandwana, Vijayanagar.

But there are still a large number of ordinary people, as well as some nobles who own a large amount of property here, but they are unwilling to leave.

After seeing the tragic situation in Muhalla City, these nobles unitedly handed over all their troops to the city lord.

Including the city lord's own private army, there was a total of more than 1200 people.

But these more than 1200 people were obviously not enough, so the city lord wanted to mobilize ordinary people and ask them to voluntarily join the defense of the city.

There are more than 5 civilians in the city now. If they can gather 5000 to [-] people to defend the city, then they still have a chance.

So the lord of Barigansa and the nobles summoned all the residents, stood on the high platform and began to speak.

"Don't panic, everyone, our city wall is very high, and during this period, I have ordered the city wall to be reinforced.

If you leave here, you will lose the protection of the tall city walls. You will be dead when facing the cavalry, so staying in the city is the safest.

Now we want to recruit all adult men to join the city defense battle. You must join the fight. If you escape, you can only be hunted by them outside.

If you don't join, everyone will die when the Mongolian cavalry attack and break the city. So for your wives and children, you must fight hard. "The city lord of Barigansa shouted from the high platform.

There is no way, his family has been running this place for decades. If they abandon this city, their family may not even be as good as ordinary nobles, so no matter what, he must find a way to defend the city.

Just when the city lord issued the mobilization order, a group of about a thousand Mongolian cavalry had already rushed to the city.

In order to pretend that they were in large numbers, the Mongolian cavalry in the rear deliberately dragged some straw on their horses' tails to make dust fly, as if a large army was arriving.

"It's not good, Lord City Lord, outside, the enemy has arrived." At this moment, a light guard hurriedly ran to the Lord Barigansa who was giving a speech and said. "What? How did they come so fast?" The city lord did not dare to hesitate at all when he heard this, and immediately led his soldiers to the city wall.

I saw a dense group of cavalry troops outside. Behind them, the horses kept running, looking dusty.

"How many people do you think they have?" The city lord of Baligansa looked at the Mongolian army outside and asked his men in fear.

"Lord City Lord, there should be four to five thousand cavalry outside!" A nobleman on the staff carefully poked his head out of the city wall to take a look, and then said.

To be honest, he didn't know how many people were outside, but with so many horses running and the rear looking dusty, there should be a large number of infantry who hadn't arrived yet. It really looked like a large army was arriving!
There are not many horses in their land of Delhi Sultanate. At most, only the city lord has raised some war horses. Even the Sultan has only a cavalry force of less than ten thousand people.

Therefore, these nobles naturally believed that the cavalry was only the vanguard and should be followed by a large number of infantry at the rear.

"Quick, go down and notify the adult men. Let all the adult men get usable weapons. If they are not enough, use wooden sticks instead. Let them all stand on the wall. We must not let the enemy think that we are weak. "The city lord of Barigansa hurriedly began his command.

If the opponent discovers that there are only more than 1000 regular troops here, it will be terrible if the enemy launches an attack. They must show a very powerful appearance to prevent the enemy from attacking.

What a God!Please bless your followers! (The Delhi Sultanate should also believe in Islam, after all, it is a Sultanate. Hinduism should be further over there, in Bengal, or Orissa, or Bahmani.)
Soon, a group of peasants who had never been on the battlefield were given some simple weapons, and then stood on the city wall and surrounded the city wall densely, looking like they were very strictly guarded.

The Mongol army below stopped moving after reaching the city.

The leader of the Mongolian Thousand Man Palm looked at the densely packed figures on the city wall. They were all soldiers holding weapons.

This city looks like it's well-guarded!
Not sure if his group of people could scare the other party, he called one of his Mongolian soldiers and asked him to go in with the Khwarezm envoy.

No matter what, you have to frighten the opponent first.

Mongolia sent four Khwarezmians and one Mongolian as envoys, who came to the city gate and began to shout.

"Listen, everyone above, we are Lord Ogedai's vanguard. I am the envoy, here to meet your city lord. We can avoid a war."

There was some small commotion on the city wall of Barigansa, and then a giant hanging basket was lowered.

At this time, the city lord of Barigansa was still a little lucky. It would be good if he could negotiate, as long as there was no war.

"Messenger, welcome, can we avoid war?"

"I am the envoy of Mr. Ogedai. Mr. Ogedai is the son of Genghis Khan. He led the soldiers to your city. I hope you can provide some money and military rations. As long as you are willing to hand over the military rations and money, then we will turn around. Go, definitely not attack your city, you and your people can survive."

The city lord of Barigansa was overjoyed when he heard this.

So good?If you give them some money, you can survive and save your city.
