In one day, the army arrived outside Yuecheng, and when they saw the army arriving, the gate of Yuecheng was opened directly. Gao Shun and the others left the army to camp outside the city, and went into the city to meet Jia Xu.
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
Several people clasped their fists at Jia Xu together.
"How many troops did you bring this time?"
Jia Xu looked at the three people in front of him, his eyes full of smiles.
"Except for the soldiers and horses left behind to guard the city, 170,000 troops are now resting outside the city."
After hearing Jia Xu's inquiry about the troops and horses, Gao Shun, as the guard of Richeng, directly reported the number of troops and horses to Jia Xu.
"An army of 170,000 people, okay, His Majesty didn't ask you to bring anything else?
Like a crossbow or something?"
Jia Xu also nodded when he heard that there were 170,000 troops. If this was the case, coupled with Yuecheng's troops and horses, they would have more than 200,000 troops. It was time to start a counterattack.
"This time, under His Majesty's arrangement, a total of 30,000 infantry crossbows, millions of crossbow arrows, 100 vehicles, 400 martial arts crossbows, and 50 trebuchets were brought."
Xu Huang glanced at Zang Ba and directly told Yuan Shu's arrangement.
"You know my lord, with so many crossbows and carriages, we are enough to deal with the enemy's cavalry."
After looking at Xu Huang, Jia Xu also nodded. With Yuan Shu's configuration, when the enemy cavalry appears, they will definitely be able to give the opponent a big surprise.
"So what should we do now?
Should we attack now or what?"
After hearing Jia Xu's words, Taishi Ci directly clasped his fists and asked if it was time to set off.
"Don't be in a hurry. We'll wait and see. General Zang Ba's troops have arrived and need to rest. We will set off in three days."
Jia Xu glanced at Zang Ba. His army had just arrived and his soldiers were tired. If he attacked now, the soldiers would not be able to bear it.
"promise."
After hearing Jia Xu's order, the army temporarily entered a moment of rest. Three days was enough for them to wipe away the fatigue of so many days of traveling.
Three days later, except for the 10,000 men left to garrison Moon City, the remaining 220,000 troops marched toward Samsung City like an overwhelming force.
"General, General, the latest information from the scouts is that nearly 200,000 enemies have left Moon City and are heading towards Samsung City."
Although Hariwan and others have retreated to Samsung City, the scouts have not been sent back and have been wandering around. Now that Jia Xu has arrived with his army, they will immediately report the news to Hariwan.
"An army of two hundred thousand?"
Hearing Enter's news, Hariwan couldn't help but frown. Although he thought that the other party might send troops, the sudden arrival of more than 200,000 troops was really hard for him to accept.
"That's right, the scouts confirmed it twice, at least 200,000 troops."
Enter nodded at Harriwan. When he heard the news, he didn't believe it, but it was indeed the case, and he could only report it truthfully.
"When will the people we send to the royal court return?"
Now they can only hope that the emperor can send troops and horses to support them in time.
"We may have just arrived now. If we want to send troops and horses to support, it will take at least a month."
Bloom glanced at Hariwan. It was good that his people could arrive at the royal court in such a short time. If he wanted to send out troops, he would have to issue a mobilization order and send out troops. If he really wanted to get here for a month, it would take at least a month.
It takes two to three months, and this does not include food, grass, supplies and so on.
"I'm afraid one month is not enough."
Enter on the side glanced at Broome. He was not a fool. It took him more than a month to get there. If you told me that reinforcements could arrive in a month, who were you fooling me?
"Never mind the time, what I want to know now is whether we can sustain it for a month?"
Hariwan glanced at Enter. Although the other party was telling the truth, if the soldiers knew that his reinforcements would take a long time to arrive, it would definitely shake the morale of the soldiers.
"I don't know. Judging from the current strength of the city, if the opponent doesn't have anything weird, it is possible to defend it. After all, we still have cavalry. This is our biggest advantage. If we can give full play to our due
The effect will definitely cause huge casualties to the opponent."
Broome thought for a while, and the only advantage they had now was the 40,000 cavalry in their hands. If this cavalry was used properly, it should be able to cause a lot of trouble to the opponent.
"Well, this is our only advantage."
Hariwan also nodded. If they want to deal with the enemy's attack now, the only thing they can do is to use cavalry to harass the opponent.
"Then should I lead my troops away now and harass the opponent's food routes?"
Seeing Hariwan nod, Enter's immediate thought was to harass the other party's food road.
"It's useless. When the opponent's army rises, they will definitely bring their own food and grass. If you harass them now, you won't see any effect at all. Instead of doing this, it is better to rest in the city and be ready to attack at any time."
Bloom shook his head. In the current situation, the enemy had just arrived, and he must have enough food and grass. This would be of no use if he ran out of food.
"Well, this is indeed the situation now. Let's first see if the enemy has any trouble. The cavalry will be ready at any time to go out of the city to kill the enemy."
Hariwan also nodded, and a light flashed in his eyes. What they have to do now is to defend these three cities, otherwise everything will be in vain.
"As commanded."
For a time, the entire Sanxing City was under martial law, and soldiers and horses were on the move ready to respond to enemy attacks.
Jia Xu's march was not very fast, but three days was enough for them to arrive.
"What is the current situation in Samsung City?"
As they were about to arrive at their destination, Jia Xu also directly asked about the situation in Samsung City.
"There are soldiers and horses stationed in the three cities. The other side must have dispersed their soldiers and horses. The three cities serve as horns to each other to cope with our attack."
Tai Shici had already sent people to investigate the situation in the three cities, so he opened his mouth to answer Jia Xu's question.
"How do you feel about fighting?"
Jia Xu glanced at the five generals in front of him, and now it was time to examine them again.
"We have many troops and horses. Since the enemy has divided his troops, I think we can also divide our troops into three groups and attack the opponent at the same time."
Taishi Ci glanced at Jia Xu, thought for a while, and directly suggested that the troops should be divided into three groups and attack the enemy at the same time.
"Sir, I don't recommend this?"
After hearing Tai Shi Ci's words, Zang Ba shook his head. He did not recommend this.
"How to say."
Jia Xu looked at Zang Ba and asked what he meant.
"The enemy divides his troops to protect each other, but we are now on the offensive and have many troops. We should concentrate our troops and defeat them one by one, so that our losses can be minimized."
Zang Ba's suggestion was that since the enemy was divided into three groups, he should concentrate all his efforts to defeat them one by one, without giving the other side a chance to help each other.
"Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Mrs. Zhu Rong, what are your opinions?"
Jia Xu turned his attention to the three people who had not expressed their opinions yet.
"I agree with General Zang Ba's suggestion. It is better to divide our forces to attack together than to concentrate all our efforts to defeat them one by one."
Mrs. Zhu Rong directly chose to support Zang Ba's suggestion. Now that they have the advantage, they can fight as they want. If they can divide their troops, it is simply suitable for them. Moreover, the enemy also has the advantage of cavalry. If they divide their troops, they are likely to be attacked by surprise.
Not cost effective.
"I also agree with General Zang Ba's suggestion."
Xu Huang also nodded, and also believed that now is the time for the entire army to gather and defeat them one by one.
"What about you, Gao Shun?"
Jia Xu glanced at Gao Shun, who was thinking.
"Sir, I would like to ask, do you just want to capture Samsung City or do you want to maximize the destruction of the enemy's troops?"
Gao Shun looked up at Jia Xu and directly asked his question.
"oh?
Anyway, I'd like to hear your thoughts."
After hearing so much, Jia Xu became interested for the first time. He wanted to hear what Gao Shun thought.
"If you just want to defeat the opponent and capture Samsung City, you will naturally follow what General Zang Ba said and defeat Samsung City one by one. This will not only not give the opponent a chance, but also minimize the losses."
Gao Shun glanced at Jia Xu and directly said what he was thinking.
"Then what if I want to destroy the enemy's strength to the maximum extent?"
Gao Shun paused, and Jia Xu's confidant asked.
"If you want to eliminate the enemy's effective strength to the maximum extent, you must divide your troops."
After hearing Jia Xu's inquiry, Gao Shun continued to speak.
"Come on, keep talking."
"We have too many troops now. The enemy must have detected it. If we really want to defeat them one by one, the enemy will definitely be desperate.
The result is likely that they will be unable to withstand it and then retreat backwards under the protection of the cavalry. Without the cavalry, we have no chance of catching them.
But if we divide our troops, the difference in strength will not be so big, which will also make the other side feel that they have an opportunity, and the cavalry will definitely come out of the city to attack us, so we will have the opportunity to annihilate their cavalry."
Gao Shun smiled slightly and told him his arrangement.
"Haha, you are very good to think so. Only by dividing the troops now can we deceive the enemy's cavalry. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Sanxing City's defense to withstand our attack.
If this is the case, they will definitely evacuate as soon as possible.
If we really let this cavalry withdraw, it will still cause trouble for us to attack the Kushan Empire next. When they cut off our food routes, it will be over.
If there is hope, we still have to kill their cavalry."
Jia Xu nodded. What Gao Shun said was what he thought. The current situation is like this. If the other party feels that there is no hope, then they will definitely run away directly. This will be detrimental to the future situation. If they can defeat the other party here,
If the cavalry is consumed, that would be the best thing.
"If this is the case, then it is not impossible to divide the troops."
