Chapter 1,245 Divide the Troops
Seeing that the enemy's chariots could no longer stop him, Taishi Ci directly ordered the soldiers who had already been prepared to prepare for the attack of the chariots.
"Place the tie-board."
As the planks fell down one by one, they hit the wall stacks directly. The Kushan soldiers who had been prepared inside also flew out from the carriages and leaped towards the city wall.
"Fire the arrow."
With an order, the bows and crossbows fired in unison, shooting the Kushan troops leaping towards the city into a hedgehog, which fell off the city wall before they even had time to cry out.
"Rush, rush, rush."
Although the soldiers in front were shot and killed mercilessly, now that the passage was open, they had no way out and continued to kill them.
"Leap over the shield and jump in."
Although the Kushan troops were commendable for their courage, it was difficult for them to advance with the shield in front of them. I don’t know who gave the order, but these Kushan troops seemed to be crazy. They flew up like mad dogs and smashed into the shield.
"Spearhead, pick them to death for me."
Seeing that the enemy was about to fly over the shield, the commander in charge directly ordered the spearmen to attack.
A spear was drawn out and all the flying Kushan troops were thrown away.
Although Taishi Ci's arrangements were perfect, they faced regular troops from the Kushan Empire. These soldiers were no worse than the Chinese soldiers in terms of combat skills and bravery. As they swooped in lifelessly again and again, they used their own flesh and blood to
A gap was created in the body.
Finally, the soldiers of the Kushan Empire set foot on the wall of Yuecheng for the first time, but that was all. They were quickly squeezed off the wall by the fierce tiger army.
Although the Kushan Empire's gangsters came to attack, they could not open up the situation for a long time, which made Chilhardt anxious to death watching from behind.
"My dear Lava, you lead my bodyguards to attack. You must open up the situation for me."
Kirhart glanced at the guard commander Lavaqin beside him, and directly asked him to lead his guards along the building cart to attack the city wall.
"Your Majesty."
After receiving the military order, Lava directly boarded the carriage with two thousand personal guards and launched an attack on the city wall.
Kirhart's bodyguards were quite powerful, and they were not afraid of death. After passing the building, they fought their way through the car, but that was all.
Because the Chinese army had an absolute advantage on the city wall, even if Kirhart's personal guards were working hard, they could only cause chaos on a small scale and it was impossible to expand the situation.
"Prepare kerosene to burn the building and the car."
Taishi Ci looked at the fighting on the city wall and shook his head slightly, and directly ordered the soldiers to burn the buildings and carts with kerosene.
Soldiers rushed out one by one with cans of fire oil in their hands, and started to kill the truck.
There was a fierce exchange of fire on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Kushan Empire could only be pinned near the carriages, but they had no idea of the purpose of the fire oil soldiers.
"Throw."
The kerosene soldier threw the clay pot in his hand away.
"No, kill them. That's kerosene. They want to burn the building and the car."
Rawa killed the two Tiger Army soldiers beside him with a single blow. When he saw the clay pot falling, his brows flew away and he roared loudly at the soldiers beside him.
"Torches."
Seeing the cracked fire oil tank, the captain did not hesitate and ordered the tank to be set on fire.
A handful of flames burst out instantly, directly igniting the kerosene. The entire truck instantly turned into a large torch, and countless Kushan troops could only howl in the flames.
"Kill, there is no way back now, we can only move forward, fight to open the passage, and cooperate with the soldiers on the ladder to attack the city wall."
Seeing that the carriages behind had been turned into torches and the soldiers had become flaming men, Rava knew that he had no way out now. The only thing he could do was to move forward and capture the city wall with the soldiers on the ladder.
.
"kill."
"If you fight hard, it's either death or life."
"Forward, forward."
Lava's words still had an effect, and the soldiers around him also knew that it was a do-or-die situation, and began to charge forward with him.
"Drive them off the wall."
Seeing that the enemy still dared to come out and look for trouble, the captain directly swung his sword to kill him, and fought with Lava personally.
After a short time, although the soldiers behind Lava were brave, their numbers were too small, and they had to be wiped out in the end.
After clearing the enemies on the city wall, Kirhart's wish to rely on ladders to capture the Moon City was simply wishful thinking.
"Mingjin withdraws the troops."
Seeing that nothing could be done, Kirhart had no choice. Although he wanted to capture the fortified city in front of him, it was no longer possible. If he persisted, he would not treat his soldiers as human beings.
As the golden sound rang out, the attacking soldiers in the front row evacuated one after another and fled backwards.
"General, what should we do next?"
The battle has ended like this, and the partial general doesn't know how to face the general Hariwan.
"Just say whatever you want, there's nothing you can do about it."
Kirhart shook his head and galloped towards Harrivan.
"General, please punish me. Kirhart has a heavy responsibility."
Kirhart dismounted directly and knelt down on one knee to salute Hariwan.
"Hey, this little moon city is so difficult to defeat?
What do you think?"
Hariwan shook his head. Both attacks resulted in the loss of troops and generals, which was really hard for him to accept.
"General, I think it will not be easy to capture the Sun and Moon cities, but Moon City is in front of Sun City and is the backbone of Sun City. There must be a large number of soldiers and horses deployed here, and the number of people in Sun City will definitely be much smaller.
If we besiege Yuecheng without attacking and use our main force to raid Suncity, we should be able to capture it easily. After capturing Suncity, Mooncity will become an isolated city, and it will be much easier to capture it again.
"
Total looked at Hariwan and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Well, does anyone else have suggestions?"
Harrivan nodded and asked others if they had any other ideas.
"General, I think General Total's strategy is feasible, but even if we take Sun City, I don't think Yue City will surrender easily. It's not easy to fight here now. I suggest we carry out a land attack now."
Krawan glanced at Daodal and Hariwan, and directly expressed his thoughts. In his opinion, even if the sun city was taken, it would not be that easy to take down the moon city, so he still suggested that we start from now on.
Earthworks.
"Well, Klavan is right. The soil work is very important. If it drags on for a long time, we still need to attack the soil work from top to bottom."
Hariwan nodded again. Both of them were right. This is why the Kushan Empire can continue to expand its territory. Excellent soldiers are important, but equally excellent generals are more important.
These people are all experienced warriors. With them, the Kushan Empire will surely continue to prosper.
"Even if we have to divide our forces, how many should we keep here and how many should we send to attack Japan City?
Until now, we still don’t know how many soldiers and horses there are in Yuecheng.
If there are too many people sent to Richeng, there may be danger in Yuecheng, but if there are too few people sent to Richeng, it will not have any effect."
Kirhart glanced at the three of them. Even if the troops really had to be divided now, there must be a charter. How many people should be sent to Sun City and how many people should be left behind must be calculated clearly.
"Speaking of dividing the troops, I have a plan. I don't know what it is?"
Enter, the cavalry general at the far end, suddenly spoke to Harrivan.
"Enter, if you have something to say, just say it. I believe that you, the rising star of the empire, can give me a different perspective."
Enter was only in his twenties and less than thirty years old. In the Battle of the Amu Darya on the Western Front, he used 20,000 cavalry to defeat the 50,000 cavalry of the Kotel tribe in a roundabout way. From then on, he became famous in one battle and was known as the Kushan Empire.
hope for the future,
This time Vesudeva I transferred him here, firstly to increase his experience, and secondly because the war on the Western Front had slowed down and it was easier for China to earn military exploits.
"It is necessary to divide the troops. I suggest that Yuecheng place 30,000 infantry and 70,000 cavalry. A total of 100,000 troops and horses will be under my command. The general will lead the remaining troops to attack Sun City."
Enter glanced at Hariwan and directly expressed his suggestion.
"Are you trying to cause trouble?
fishing?"
After hearing what Enter said, Hariwan immediately understood what the other party meant after thinking about it for a moment.
"Well, it is exactly what the general said. It will be difficult for our army to hide and will be discovered by them if we leave. So I will put the 30,000 infantry in plain sight just to feed them. As long as they dare to leave the city, I will lead them
The cavalry attacked and defeated them in one fell swoop."
Enter nodded to Harriwan. This was what he thought. He used 30,000 infantrymen as bait for the enemies of Moon City to eat. As long as they dared to eat, he would dare to destroy them.
"But what if the enemy becomes cautious and does not send troops?
So what?”
Krawan also frowned slightly when he heard Enter's words. You are a bit too naive in your thinking. If the opponent comes out, your 70,000 army can certainly eat the opponent, but if they don't come out, you deploy an army of 100,000 people here, which will be a bit awkward from time to time.
wasted.
"If we don't send troops, let the 30,000 soldiers carry out soil work and dig tunnels to attack the city wall. As for my 70,000 cavalry, is it possible that the general will let the cavalry attack the wall?"
Enter's reputation as the rising star of the empire is certainly not due to stupidity. The reason why he arranged so many cavalry in Moon City is simply because the cavalry is suitable for field battles and not for siege.
Now that they have an absolute advantage in military strength, they will never be reduced to cavalry siege.
Therefore, whether these 100,000 cavalry are in Sun City or Yue City, they only serve as a deterrent, rather than actually enhancing the siege force.
Instead of setting a benchmark there, it is better to let yourself go fishing here in Yuecheng. Maybe there will be miraculous results by then.
"Enter is right. I will not let the cavalry attack the city at any time. This is a huge waste of troops and horses. Do you have any objections to Enter's suggestion?"
Harry Wan nodded at Enter. This guy really had two brushes, and he also thought that this strategy of luring the snake out of its hole was feasible.
"Enter is right. The two cities of the sun and moon are horns of each other and are interdependent. If the soldiers of the moon city know that we have abandoned the moon city and are attacking the sun city, they will definitely find a way to send troops to harass our food routes.
The 30,000-strong army was placed on the bright side, so that it would not delay the soil work and would not make the enemy despair due to too many troops.
If the enemy really bites the hook, no matter how many they have, 70,000 cavalry will be enough to deal with it."
Kirhart nodded, Enter's plan was very good, there was no reason to disagree.
