The first thousand two hundred and sixty-one chapters come to the city again
Chapter 1,261 Return to Moon City
Seeing the soldiers retreating, Harivan, who was watching the battle from behind, immediately went crazy. He was fine at first, but suddenly he collapsed. Now he really wanted to chop off Kirhart's head.
"General, no matter what, we have to retreat."
Bloom glanced at Hariwan. No matter who was at fault, let alone Kirhart's life or death. After this defeat, it would be impossible to capture Japan again.
"When Kirhart comes back, we will behead him and withdraw our troops."
Bloom is right. No matter what the reason is, and no matter what happens to Kirhart next, this battle has basically failed. If it lingers, the entire army will be in danger of running out of food.
"Dang Dang Dang."
The sound of ringing gold resounded throughout the sky. When the soldiers heard this, they had no worries and directly accelerated their speed and retreated backwards.
"Trebuchet, hit me hard with shotguns."
Seeing the enemy retreating, Gao Shun directly ordered the trebuchet to attack.
For a moment, a volley of scattered bullets was fired, hitting the retreating Kushan army.
Looking at the retreating soldiers, Harry's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Where's Kirhart? Tie him over here."
"General, General Kirhart is here."
After hearing Hariwan asking about Kirhat, someone soon carried his body to Hariwan.
"died?"
Seeing Kirhart covered in blood, Hariwan was speechless for a while. Although he was very angry, and Kirhart also issued a military order, he could not really say that he was a first-rate general of the Kushan Empire.
Then he cut the opponent down.
Now that Kirhart's body was placed in front of him, he was a little speechless. This was probably the highest-ranking general in the empire who had been killed since the war began.
"General Kirhart took the lead and fought against two generals on the other side. After killing one of them, he died fighting hard."
Kirhart's bodyguard knelt in front of Hariwan and told the circumstances of Kirhart's death in battle.
"I understand, withdraw the troops and return to camp."
Hearing that Kirhart had died on the city wall, and that he had fought to the death with one of the enemy's generals, Harrivan had nothing to say, so he simply threw his horse away and retreated back to the camp with the cavalry around him.
The enemy retreated, and the defenders on the city also shouted loudly. After all, it was not easy for them to win this battle. Counting the casualties on the first day, there are now less than 30,000 soldiers alive in the city. Among these 30,000
There are still thousands of lightly and seriously injured soldiers, and the real number of combatable soldiers is only more than 20,000.
Compared with their own losses, their results were also very objective. In the two offensive and defensive battles, the Kushan Empire's soldiers suffered at least more than 30,000 casualties, more than 10,000 casualties, and more than 40,000 people lost their combat effectiveness.
Although the battle loss ratio of one to two points was reasonable, it was already considered a loss for Richeng, which had only 50,000 troops.
"Stop shouting, hurry up and repair the city defense to prevent the enemy from attacking next time."
Gao Shun frowned and looked into the distance. After giving his instructions, he came to Wu Yi who was guarded by his personal guards.
"Ziyuan."
At this time, Wu Yi was already awake, and the soldiers also helped him with simple treatment. They sprinkled gold sore medicine on him and simply bandaged it with white cloth.
"General, it was Wu Yi's incompetence that almost destroyed the morale of the army."
Seeing Gao Shun coming over, Wu Yi struggled to get up, but with this force, the unhealed wound burst open, and the white cloth was instantly dyed red.
"Okay, just lie down. Is your injury okay?"
Gao Shun glanced at Wu Yi's wound and couldn't help but frowned.
"Fortunately, the opponent used a knife. Although the armor was cut, the damage was not as great as expected. If he had used a gun, I might have to explain."
Hearing Gao Shun's words, Wu Yi couldn't help but let out a sad smile. He was telling the truth. Although the dragon tooth sword was very lethal, it was powerful enough to face the light infantry in leather armor.
But facing the iron armor, he was still not enough, and he also made some retreats, otherwise he would really be cut in two.
"It's okay. Your efforts are rewarded. If it weren't for your shot, I wouldn't be able to kill him. After all, he is not weak, so he has avenged you."
Hearing that Wu Yi was fine, Gao Shun also nodded. He was able to kill Kirhart thanks to Wu Yi's shot. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to win the opponent. Unless Kirhart dies, this battle will be impossible.
I still can't finish it.
"If we can repel the enemy, the blow Wu Yi received will be worth it, cough cough cough."
Wu Yi was relieved when he heard that Gao Shun had killed the opponent's general, and he finally deserved the blow.
"Just relax and cultivate yourself. Someone is here to carry the general down to the city to rest."
"promise."
After the Hariwan army evacuated Sun City, they returned directly to the camp and then began preparations to withdraw their troops and return to Moon City.
The next day, the army set off, with hundreds of thousands of troops marching towards Yuecheng, carrying long yellow smoke.
"General, it's time to go."
Before leaving, Hariwan took his elite men on a hill to look at the Sun City in the distance.
"Let's go, I will come back eventually."
After hearing Bloom's words, Harrivan suppressed his unwillingness and rode his horse to chase his army.
"General, the enemy has withdrawn."
Hariwan's army retreated, and the news immediately reached Gao Shun's ears.
"Huh, Master Jia Xu must have made some moves on the Yuecheng side, and the enemy had to withdraw his troops as a last resort."
Although he didn't know why the opponent was retreating now, Gao Shun could guess that it was definitely the offensive launched by Jia Xu, and the opponent had to return troops. Otherwise, the opponent would not retreat no matter what if the fight was like this.
"Do you need to send someone to inform Mr. Jia Xu?"
A captain glanced at Gao Shun and asked directly if he wanted to report to Jia Xu.
"No, just be yourself. There are twice as many soldiers and horses as ours in Moon City. It is very difficult for the enemy to break through the city wall. Tell the soldiers to seize the time to repair the city defense."
"promise."
Since Gao Shun said this, the captain also clasped his fists and saluted.
"You guys guard the city, I'll go visit General Wu Yi."
Since the enemy had retreated, Gao Shun did not need to stay on the city wall and went directly down to the city to see Wu Yi's injuries.
The war in Richeng has subsided, and it is quiet here in Yuecheng. Although Jia Xu and the others now have more troops than Enter, but there are cavalry on the other side, Jia Xu does not dare to advance easily. After all, they are now out of strength.
.
After more than a day, Hariwan finally joined forces with Enter. Looking at the miserable Hariwan army, Enter was also a little depressed.
It is miserable for you. After all, the soldiers and horses in the opponent's city are not inferior to yours at all. You have nearly 200,000 troops, and now you only have 140,000 or 50,000 left, and there are still many wounded soldiers. This is a bit inappropriate.
.
"General."
"General."
Entel and Klavan saluted Harrivan together.
"How is it over there in Yuecheng?"
Hariwan was a little depressed when he saw that Enter had only 40,000 troops left. In the past few days, his army of 300,000 men now only had 170,000 left.
In a few days, more than 100,000 troops were lost, which was a huge loss for both themselves and the Kushan Empire.
"Since the sneak attack on me that day, I have retreated twenty miles. Now there is no movement in their city. They are safely nestled in the city without moving."
Although Enter retreated twenty miles, he did not dare to relax at all towards Yuecheng. The scouts also searched around Yuecheng 24 hours a day, for fear that the other party would make a sudden attack and it would be the end of the world.
"Well, have you built any siege equipment these days?"
Hariwan nodded. He expected that Yuecheng would not move. After all, he had a large number of cavalry. If they really dared to rush out, they would definitely be overwhelmed.
"Well, I haven't stopped these days. I have been building siege equipment, but I haven't assembled it yet. I'm waiting for the general to come."
After hearing Hariwan's words, Enter directly told all about his work these days.
"Well, the army will set off and camp five miles outside the Moon City. In addition, we will continue to build siege equipment and prepare for the attack."
Hariwan is full of anger now. Sun City cannot be taken down by Sun City, so now he has to use Yue City to take out the fire.
"As commanded."
Hariwan gave the order, and the army marched directly towards the outside of the Moon City to set up camp there.
"Sir, the enemy army has returned and is now camping five miles outside the city."
Although the enemy's cavalry had been patrolling outside the city, Jia Xu had a secret passage, so he also placed many spies in secret places outside the city. When Hariwan's army returned, they reported it to Jia Xu as soon as possible.
"Okay, the whole army is ready for war. Now that the enemy has returned, the crisis on the Japanese side has been resolved."
When he heard that the enemy army had returned, Jia Xu was relieved. To be honest, there had been no news from the enemy for so many days, and he was really worried that the enemy would risk everything to capture Richeng first. After all, there were only 50,000 people there.
"promise."
Jia Xu issued an order and put the entire city under martial law. The city walls were filled with soldiers who did not dare to stop for a moment.
The combined Kushan army still had an army of 190,000 troops. It still had an overwhelming advantage over Jia Xu of Yuecheng. Storms were surging and dark clouds were pressing down on the city. The war was about to break out.
After the last battle of Japanese city, Hariwan also knew that it was simply not enough to take down such a city without enough siege weapons, so he did not attack in time, but ordered the soldiers to continue to build siege weapons, especially
Tower carts and trebuchets.
Time dragged on longer and longer. One day, two days, three days, they were still settling and assembling siege equipment. They did not launch an attack on Moon City. At the same time, they also started earthworks under the command of Klavan. A two-pronged approach would definitely succeed.
To capture Moon City.
"Sir, what do you think the other party is doing?"
Taishi Ci came to Jia Xu and expressed his uneasiness. After all, the enemy now was completely different from the last time. He didn't know what kind of aircraft they were planning.
"What are you doing?
You don’t have to think about it, you must feel that Moon City is difficult to attack and it’s not easy to attack with only ladders, so you are accumulating siege equipment, or you know that a frontal attack is not easy, and you want to use some sideways methods, such as digging tunnels or something.”
Hearing Tai Shici's question, Jia Xu sneered directly. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at the current situation that the walls of Yuecheng were hard and difficult to break.
Moreover, Yuecheng is different from Suncity. Yuecheng has a large number of soldiers and horses. Even if they organize an absolute force, it will not be easy to win, so they will definitely use some unscrupulous methods.
As the saying goes, a surprise victory can be obtained by means of perfect combination. Only by attacking the city from the front and sneak attack from Qimen can we be confident in taking Yuecheng.
"So how do we respond?"
Taishi Ci glanced at Jia Xu, since you have thought of the enemy's methods, you should have a way to counter the enemy.
"Yuecheng had already thought of this when it was built. If they want to use tunnels to attack the city, I will let them come and kill as many as they can."
Jia Xu had already thought of these things when he built Yue City, and specially invited descendants of the Gong family to participate in the layout of the city. If the enemy is really planning to dig tunnels like rats to sneak attack on him, then let them have a taste of himself
