Since Jia Xu said so, Mrs. Zhu Rong nodded directly. If he considered it this way, it would indeed be better to divide the troops than to join them together.
"Everything must be obeyed by the master."
Zang Ba also clasped his fists at Jia Xu to express his compliance with his orders.
"Xu Huang has no objection either."
Xu Huang also clasped his fists and was willing to follow Jia Xu's arrangements.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's divide our troops now, Taishi Ci."
Since everyone had no objections, Jia Xu directly started to order generals.
"The end will be here."
Taishi Ci directly cupped his fist at Jia Xu.
"You lead the Tiger Army and the 30,000 militiamen and march towards Xiaxing City."
Jia Xu directly arranged for Tai Shi Ci to lead the tiger army south to attack Xia Xingcheng.
"Tai Shi Ci obeys the order."
Taishi Ci knew what Jia Xu meant. The Tiger Army had gone through a hard battle and the soldiers were tired. The enemy's soldiers and horses must have gathered in Zhongxing City, because only Zhongxing City could ensure enough soldiers and horses to quickly support the upper and lower star cities.
Although he didn't want to do this, this was a military order that he had to abide by. Even if he felt that the soldiers could fight again, he still had to go to Star City.
"Gao Shun."
After ordering Taishi Ci's general, Jia Xu directly ordered Gao Shun.
"exist."
When Gao Shun heard Jia Xu calling his name, he knew that he had nothing to do with attacking Star City, so he could only clasp his fists and salute.
"You lead the trapped army, plus 30,000 militiamen, to go north to attack Star City."
Jia Xu directly ordered Gao Shun to lead his army north to Shangxing City.
"Gao Shun obeys the order."
"Well, the remaining troops will follow me to attack Star City. I will give you a chance. I hope you can seize the opportunity."
"promise."
"promise."
"promise."
The generals clasped their fists together, and then the 220,000 troops were divided into three groups. The upper and lower star cities had a total of 90,000 troops, and the middle star city's 130,000 troops were killed like a collapse of the sky.
The troops had just been divided here, and the scouts wandering outside came directly to report the news to Hariwan.
"The enemy has really divided his forces?"
Hearing the news about Jia Xu's division of troops, Hariwan also raised his eyebrows and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, the troops are divided into three groups. The upper and lower star cities each have about 50,000 soldiers. The middle group has at least 100,000 troops."
Enter nodded and confirmed the accuracy of the news.
"It seems that God will not destroy us."
Hariwan glanced at Enter. If the enemy really came to attack with his entire army, and if he couldn't resist it, he would really lead the cavalry to run away. Now that the enemy had divided its troops, this gave him the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
"Well, if there are 100,000 enemies and the enemy has no cavalry, I am confident that we can defeat them."
Enter was also starry-eyed. If this news was taken according to the news, he would still be confident that there would be about 100,000 enemies, even if there were 20,000 or 30,000 more. After all, he made his fortune by cavalry, and 40,000 people would be enough for him to have fun.
"Okay, I will also hand over my personal guards to you, and I will gather 50,000 cavalry for you. When the time comes, they will all be handed over to you. You must defeat the enemy for me."
Hariwan has 20,000 troops under his command, including 10,000 elite cavalry. If you include this, he already has 50,000 cavalry here. With 50,000 cavalry against hundreds of thousands of infantry, there is definitely a chance of victory.
"If you include the general's bodyguards and 50,000 cavalry cannot defeat the opponent, I will take a closer look."
Unexpectedly, Hariwan could actually hand over his personal guards to him. Enter's eyes immediately lit up. If the cavalry under his command was only elite, Hariwan's cavalry was the ceiling of the entire Kushan Empire.
A heavily armored cavalryman.
The soldiers of the entire Kushan Empire are proud to be able to join Hariwan's personal guards. It can be said that Hariwan's personal guards are all elites who can fight one against two and one against three.
If someone with such strength cannot defeat the opponent, his life will be in vain.
"Okay, then prepare. When the enemy arrives, don't give them a chance. Just open the city to meet the enemy."
Harrivan nodded, a flash of light flashing in his eyes. Before the decisive battle with you, you all hid in the city and suffered heavy losses. Now you can finally let the other party know how powerful the imperial cavalry is.
"As commanded."
Soon 50,000 cavalry were ready. There were 5,000 armored cavalry in Enter's army, all of which were selected and combined from various cavalry units. Coupled with 10,000 armored cavalry from Harry Van, 50,000 cavalry were formed.
There are fifteen thousand armored cavalry inside.
In one day, Jia Xu finally arrived ten miles outside Zhongxing City. The news had already reached the city before the army set up camp.
"General, the enemy's troops have reached ten miles outside the city."
"Enter, it's time for you to show off. The destiny of the country after the empire will be fought here."
Hearing that the enemy was already ten miles away, Harriwan directly ordered Enter's general.
"Enter will definitely live up to the general's high expectations."
Enter directly accepted the order and then came to the army.
"Open the city gate."
Following Enter's order, the city gate opened directly, and then 50,000 cavalry broke through the ground and rushed out of the city gate. Then the gate closed again.
Hariwan also moved to the city wall. Although the cavalry had already attacked, he still had to be prepared for unexpected events.
"General, there is something I don't understand."
Bloom looked at the leaving army and frowned involuntarily.
"If you have any questions, just ask, and I will naturally answer your questions."
Hearing Bloom's words, Harrivan couldn't help but wonder, there was something he didn't understand.
"The enemy has just arrived and doesn't know what's going on in the city. In my opinion, the best thing is to attack the camp at night and catch them off guard instead of sending troops directly in broad daylight. Why would you do this?"
Broome expressed his doubts. In his opinion, if 50,000 cavalry attacked the enemy's camp at night, they would definitely be able to catch the enemy off guard. Why would they risk a surprise attack now?
"This is what you don't understand. Although sneak attacks at night are a good idea, but you have to know how terrifying our opponents are. If nothing else, how powerful their trebuchets are. Everyone knows,
If you set up a big camp for them and set up a defensive line, it will be like a miniature city. Even if the cavalry is brave, they may not be able to break through the opponent's city.
Besides, the word "steal" is used in night raid. Do you think the other party will give us a chance?
He must send soldiers to surround the city. The distance of ten miles is enough for the opponent to prepare a countermeasure.
If we can't catch the opponent off guard and have to face the defense of the main camp, we might as well take advantage of their unstable footing and attack in daylight to catch them off guard."
He understood what Broome said. It would be good if the cavalry could attack at night, but he was afraid that the Chinese army would not give him a chance. Once they were given a chance to defend, it would not be that easy to take down the opponent.
"Since the general said this, I can't understand it, but why don't we wait for the opponent to attack the city wall and send the cavalry when the war is in full swing? Wouldn't that be better?
It will be difficult for the enemy to resist."
Hearing what Harivan said, Bloom was doubtful again. Attacking during the day was not a bad idea, but why now? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to wait until the enemy attacks the city?
"You can imagine that such an attack can catch the opponent off guard, but wouldn't the opponent think of it?
If we really wait until they attack the city wall before sending cavalry to attack, maybe who will deal with whom then?
If someone accidentally falls into an enemy ambush again, then we will lose more than we gain.
Rather than giving the opponent a chance, it is better to attack now. They will never expect that we will attack now and catch them off guard."
Hariwan shook his head. What Bloom could think of, the other party could naturally think of. If he really waited until Jia Xu and the others attacked the city and ordered the cavalry to attack, he might be ambushed by the opponent and end up dead.
take,
But if I attack now, even if the enemy is really clever, they will not be able to guess what I am thinking. Let alone ambush, it is still unknown whether they have the ability to respond.
"So that's it. The general is indeed a general. It was Bloom who didn't think carefully."
Both of his questions were answered perfectly, and Bloom also saluted Harrivan. He was a general after all, and he had thought of everything he had considered.
Indeed, as the other party said, he has cavalry under his command, and the distance of ten miles is nothing to the cavalry. This attack can indeed catch the opponent off guard, and maybe it can defeat the enemy with one blow.
When the enemy left the city, they were immediately detected by the scouts in front and came over to report the news to Jia Xu.
"Sir, the enemy's 50,000 cavalry have left the city and are running towards us."
"What?
Fifty thousand cavalry leave the city?"
When he heard the news, Jia Xu was stunned. Although he had thought that the other party might send cavalry out, they would only come out when he was attacking the city. Why did they come now?
"Well, it's running towards us."
The scout nodded directly to Jia Xu for confirmation.
"Quick, quick, quick, the vans are in formation, ready to meet the enemy. Scholar No. 2 is loading and moving forward. Trebuchet No. 1 seizes the time to assemble, the powerful crossbow is cocked, and the crossbow cart is dispatched."
Now that the news is confirmed, Jia Xu has nothing to say. The so-called battlefield situation is changing rapidly. Now that the enemy has come out, he has nothing to say, so he is done.
After hearing Jia Xu's order, more than 100,000 troops immediately began to form a formation, with carriages placed in all directions. The movable trebuchet Scholar No. 2 was directly unloaded from the carriage, and after assembly, it was pushed out directly.
The powerful crossbows were cocked one after another, the shooting holes of the carriages were all opened, and the bed crossbows were cocked, ready to welcome the arrival of the enemy cavalry.
"Rumble."
Thousands of horses galloped, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the whole earth was trembling.
"Shield bearer, prepare to defend."
Xu Huang stood on the commander's platform, looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, and directly ordered the shield to be prepared in advance.
For a time, countless shields were erected, hiding all the soldiers under the shields.
"Bows and arrows ready."
Whoever can be a cavalryman is not skilled in bow and horse. After hearing Enter's order, they all took off the bows beside their horses and prepared to shoot.
