Defense fortifications have been built outside Tehran, and mortars and machine guns have been set up.

In the Chinese army camp, Yuan Bin summarized the latest clues: "According to reports, the Timur Khanate, Black Sheep Tribe, and White Sheep Tribe each dispatched a large number of troops and will launch attacks from the south, north, and east.

, it seems that they are preparing to carve up Tehran.”

Zhu Qizhen stared at the map and said: "No matter how many people come, we just have to wait for work. Ammunition is tight, don't waste it, and focus on fighting in a dense formation!"

Li Zhen replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, heavy firepower has been deployed in three directions. Even if he has thousands of troops, he will never be able to break through the defense line!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "Are all the internal agents in the city under control?"

Yuan Bin said: "Back to the emperor, all the insiders have been found out. They are all under our surveillance now. As soon as the war breaks out, they will be arrested immediately and the flag will be sacrificed in front of the formation!"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and then asked: "How are the three thousand battalions deployed?"

Li Zhen replied: "Send one thousand men in each of the three directions. However, as the war unfolds, the forces on the three fronts can be exchanged at any time."

"Where's the heavy firepower?"

"Back to the emperor, please see the defense plan!"

Li Zhen took out another enlarged map, with the city of Tehran as the center and three lines of defense deployed on the periphery.

"To the north is the Black Sheep Tribe. They have seen the power of heavy machine guns and must be prepared. Therefore, I laid mines on the road to the north and prepared five mortars. When the enemy enters the minefield, I will bombard them with artillery.

Ground, detonate mines."

"To the south is the Aries tribe. Since the terrain is mainly hilly, it is not suitable for large-scale charges. The enemy may divide their forces. I have sent people to block many small intersections with boulders, leaving only a big gap. Two troops have been prepared here.

A heavy machine gun and three mortars.”

"The Tamerlane Khanate has the most abundant troops. According to the scout reports, approximately 50,000 cavalry were dispatched this time. Therefore, I have prepared three heavy machine guns and twelve mortars on the eastern defense line, and have

More than a dozen trenches were dug in front of the defense line to slow down the enemy's charge."

Zhu Qizhen kept nodding. These three families were not in an alliance. Although they had joined forces this time, they were just coveting the city of Tehran. No one wanted to give up to the other two families.

If these three companies work together, I'm afraid they can't do it.

In this way, they can defeat each other one by one, without even considering the assistance from each other, because each of them hopes that the other two will suffer more casualties.

"The tactics are very good, but the battlefield is changing rapidly. If I am too late to issue an order, the Qing family can make their own decisions on the front line. No matter what means or tactics, there is only one goal, which is to defeat the enemy!"

Li Zhen saluted and said: "I obey your order!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at Yuan Bin again and said: "The Jinyi Guards are on standby at any time to carry out beheading operations when necessary!"

Yuan Bin bowed and saluted: "I obey your order!"

Everything is ready, the next step is to wait.

The storm was coming, and the Ming army on the front line was getting ready to go. The people in Tehran knew that a fierce battle was about to take place here.

However, this time none of them closed the door and stayed out of the matter.

Countless people came to the Ming army's positions and brought food and extremely scarce mutton.

In fact, the mutton here is not scarce, but it is expensive. Originally it was only reserved for nobles, and commoners were not qualified to enjoy it.

Since the arrival of Easterners in Tehran, people's lives have gradually improved, and even extremely luxurious mutton has been brought to the table.

Whether they are the Black Sheep Tribe, the White Sheep Tribe, or the Mongols, they all have one thing in common, that is, they only rob and kill after coming to Tehran, and they never treat the people as human beings.

The common people are the easiest to be satisfied. They just want to be fed and clothed, nothing more.

It is such a simple request, but it has become a luxury wish.

It was not until the arrival of the Ming army that they truly lived a human life.

The good times have just arrived and no one wants to lose them.

The construction of Tehran's new city is still in full swing, with government halls, schools, medical centers, commercial streets...

These buildings have already taken shape. When the working people look at the half-built school, imagining that their children will be able to study here in the future, the smiles on their faces come from the bottom of their hearts.

They wanted to take out all the food at home and send it to the Ming army positions on the front line.

New recruits who have just joined the army are also sent to the front line as reserves. They will observe how the Ming army fights at close range. This war will become their lifelong wealth.

Finally, three armies arrived one after another.

The Black Sheep tribe's 50,000-strong army is stationed thirty miles north of the city.

Fifty thousand elite cavalry of the Timur Khanate were stationed twenty miles east of the city.

The 30,000 troops of the Aries tribe were stationed twenty miles south of the city.

The whole of Tehran was suddenly covered with clouds and seemed to be shrouded in bad luck.

No one of the three armies took the lead in launching an attack, but instead waited and watched, waiting for the other two armies to take the lead in attacking.

With the war approaching, the city of Tehran began to impose controls.

The entire city is under martial law and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will, and you will be questioned even when you walk on the street.

As a result, some people suddenly couldn't sit still.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

"I...I am Badir. I go to church to meditate."

Most locals have already mastered some daily expressions, and simple communication is not a big problem.

The Ming army was patrolling a small team. Captain Zheng Kun came to Badir, looked him up and down, and said, "Can't you meditate at home? The emperor has decreed that you are not allowed to come in and out at will. Go back quickly!"

"Master Jun, just let me go. I have to go to church every Sunday, otherwise...the Lord will blame me!"

Badir begged and looked very pious.

Zheng Kun glared angrily: "What a joke! Could it be that if you go to the church to meditate, the enemy can withdraw their troops?"

"I will pray that the Lord will bless our army and defeat the enemy!"

After talking about this, Zheng Kun was helpless, waved his hand and said: "Go back quickly!"

"Yes, thank you Master Jun!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Badil nodded in agreement, and then quickly came to the church.

Behind him, Zheng Kun whispered to a soldier: "Go and keep an eye on the person, don't alert the enemy."

That night, Yuan Bin led Wantong to the imperial court.

"You mean, that Pope is also a collaborator?"

Zhu Qizhen's face was heavy, as if he were an ordinary person, that would be fine, but this pope is restless and things are a little troublesome.

Wan Daodao: "Back to the emperor, it was the little flag officer Zheng Kun who discovered during patrol that Badir is an internal agent of the Black Sheep tribe. I have already verified it. Today, the order to close the city was issued. This person could not leave the city, so he went

The church just wants to pass the information through Moravi."

"How did Molavi pass on the information?"

"He keeps homing pigeons!"

Wantong threw the bag in his hand to the ground, and two pigeons fell out.

Zhu Qizhen picked up one and found a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg. After opening it, there was a very small piece of parchment inside.

Look at the wound on the dove, it was caused by an arrow.

"Where was it shot?"

"On the north side of the city, one of them was let go."

Zhu Qizhen took the parchment and asked: "What is written on it?"

Wantong replied: "I have already checked with Ru Yi. He said that there is a shortage of ammunition in the city and we should seize the initiative."

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "Fortunately, you let one go. If we had killed them all, the news wouldn't have been sent out!"

Yuan Bin asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to take action?"

"Then what are you waiting for? Arrest them!"

"About Molavi..."

“We can’t control that much for now, we’ll arrest him later!”

"According to the order!"

It was quiet at night in the old city, and suddenly there was a burst of noise.

Some of the people who were eating melons opened the windows to look, and saw that the streets were full of guards in uniforms, armed with open fire, and broke into a private house.

"What do you do?"

Badir was shocked and subconsciously picked up a sharp knife.

Then, he saw a familiar face, it was the patrol captain during the day, Zheng Kun.

"Put down the knife!"

Zheng Kun's face was stern, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
