Chapter 1,356 Recognize the Situation
The same man returned again and reported the news to Rijeka in disgrace.
"Instruct the guards and horses to temporarily leave the city wall and help the people in the city put out the flames?"
Hearing the ferocious fire in the city, Rijeka couldn't help but stand up. Now he finally knew what the other party wanted to do. Since it was difficult to break the city by force, he would burn his Maracanda to the ground. The enemy was really cruel.
"yes."
Malacanda's garrison troops also withdrew from the army sequence and began to join the fire-fighting sequence, leaving only the soldiers of Kelan Corps still standing under the city wall to prevent enemy attacks.
"Prime Minister, we are running out of kerosene bombs, do you want to continue?"
After the continuous launch, Yuan Wei came directly to report the situation to Tian Feng. Although they were well prepared this time, things like kerosene were not easy to get, and there was only so much in stock. If they continued to be used, they would probably be exhausted.
"Jiang Qin."
Tian Feng glanced at Jiang Qin and directly called his name.
"Instruct the soldiers to attack the city again without giving them a chance to put out the fire."
After hearing Yuan Wei's words, Tian Feng smiled slightly. The reason why he didn't let his soldiers attack the city just now was because he was waiting. After the fire broke out in the city, the other side would definitely send soldiers to help put out the fire. If he attacked the city, they would not be able to put out the fire.
The process will definitely be interrupted.
"Is this a forced attack?"
Jiang Qin glanced at Tian Feng and asked directly what he meant.
"It's still a feint attack. We must let them know that they cannot relax their vigilance against us and let the fire burn for a while."
Tian Feng thought for a moment and said what he meant directly.
"promise."
"Beat the drums and attack the city."
Jiang Qin issued an order again, ordering the soldiers to attack.
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
The continuous war drums sounded again after being silent for a long time.
"kill."
"Go ahead."
"go ahead."
Hearing the sound of the war drums, the 30,000 Chinese troops and the remaining soldiers from the Western Regions also began to push the carts to attack the city wall.
"The enemy has attacked the city. Go and report to the general."
Seeing the Chinese attacking again, the lookout on the city wall went down directly from the city wall and reported the situation to Amsda.
"General Kabudat, I still have to rely on you."
Hearing that the enemy was coming again, Amsda directly saluted Kabudat. Now all his soldiers and horses have gone out to put out the fire. Only the Kelan Corps is still here, and they can only rely on the other party.
"I will prepare to go to the city to fight immediately, but you must also hurry up and recall the soldiers and horses who are fighting the fire in the city. If the Chinese really want to attack the city, I will not be able to watch them."
Kabdu nodded. The reason why his soldiers did not go to put out the fire was to prevent the enemy from attacking. Now that the enemy was coming, he had nothing to say. Since he had chosen to join the army, he had already put life and death aside, so naturally he would not be afraid of death.
, what he is afraid of is that he cannot withstand the opponent's attack, and it will be over by then.
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to recruit troops and come back right away."
Amstal nodded at the other party, he could do this naturally and did not need to be taught by the other party.
"Kelan Legion, prepare to fight."
Kabdaat had nothing to say and directly ordered the soldiers to prepare to go to the city with him to fight.
Climbing the stairs here, Amsdal immediately sent people to leave and went to the city to summon soldiers to put out the fire and return.
Time passed little by little, and the carriages were getting closer and closer to the city wall, pushed by the soldiers.
"Jiang Qin, you immediately send people to dig up the native mountain. The earth mountain must exceed the opponent's city wall. Then transport the trebuchet to the earth mountain and attack the opponent from a high position."
The soldiers began to attack, and Tian Feng once again ordered Jiang Qin to dig up the native mountain and establish a commanding height, and then use a trebuchet to attack the enemy from a high position.
"promise."
Jiang Qin fully supported Tian Feng's order and immediately arranged for people to go down and carry it out.
At one time, countless soldiers began digging and piling up mountains of earth.
The front troops approached the city wall again, then let go of the planks and hit the city wall.
"Each of the three armies sent out three thousand troops, and the soldiers from the Western Regions sent out five thousand troops to attack."
Xu Guang, the commander of Shesheng School, glanced at the city wall. This time, he did not choose to let the soldiers from the Western Regions take the lead. These people were just fighting with the wind at best. If they were really allowed to go up the city wall first, it would only make the situation worse.
Therefore, he chose the method of using the three armies as the main force and the soldiers from the Western Region as assistance, so that he could not only kill the opponent to the maximum extent, but also reduce his own losses.
"charge."
"superior."
"rush."
This time it was Zhang Ye, Zhou Peng and Zheng Zheng who scaled the city wall. After all, they had experience before, so they were put in charge of the battle on the city wall.
Three thousand soldiers each began to climb the city wall, and then formed a formation in the guard of the Shooting Army, with the Tiger Roaring Army outside and the Crosswind Army's Feng Zuidao behind.
"The front and back move forward together, and we must defeat the opponent."
When the enemy climbed up the city wall, Kabdat did not hesitate and directly sent a total of more than 10,000 people from the front and rear to climb the city wall and start a pincer attack from both front and back, launching an attack on the Chinese army on the wall.
This time, both sides were elites. The Chinese army's cooperation was obviously better than that of the Kelan Army. The shield hammer blocked, the Phoenix Mouth Sword killed at mid-range, and the heavy bow sniped, directly defeating the Kelan Army. Then the soldiers of the Western Regions
Go to the city and prepare more bows and arrows to help the Shesheng army attack the enemy from a distance.
"Central Army, follow me and charge."
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage on the city wall, Kabudat glanced into the distance and led the last Kelan Legion to rush up the city wall and fight with the Chinese army.
The battle became intense at the beginning, with more and more casualties on both sides, and the soldiers and horses who were fighting the fire in the city gathered back, ready to support the city wall operations at any time.
"It's almost time, order the soldiers to evacuate."
Tian Feng looked at the time. The people sent by the enemy after such a long time must have returned. There is no point in fighting now. His purpose is to burn the city, not to fight the opponent desperately.
"Mingjin withdraws the troops."
Jiang Qin nodded and directly ordered the soldiers to withdraw their troops.
"Dang Dang Dang."
"Dang Dang Dang,."
"Dang Dang Dang."
The sound of ringing gold resounded throughout the sky, and the soldiers on the city wall did not hesitate at all and went straight down the city wall. The other party also learned the lesson and did not dare to pursue after hearing the sound of ringing gold. They retreated faster than the Chinese army and were killed first.
Traces.
Amsda glanced at the city wall. He really didn't understand what the other party wanted to do now. It came and went quickly, and he didn't give himself a chance to engage in a large-scale battle. What kind of tactics was this?
He really didn't understand, but one thing was obvious, that is, the soldiers and horses under his command no longer dared to evacuate without authorization. The soldiers were running back and forth to put out fires. By then, they were exhausted and even had a rough fight.
, just wait to die.
"General Kabudat, I'll leave this to you. I'll go see the governor."
The situation here has become so bad that Amsda has nothing to say, so he just leaves this place to Kabudat and immediately goes to the Governor's Palace to report the news to Rijeka.
"Governor, General Armstad would like to see you."
"Invite him in."
When she heard that it was Armstad, Rijeka felt nervous and asked him to come over to see him.
"Governor."
Armsta came in and saluted Rijeka directly.
"What's wrong?
Is there something wrong with the city wall?"
Looking at Amstad, Rijeka asked him directly.
"There is no problem with the city wall for the time being. The enemy has been coming and going intermittently without a trace. It seems that they can't make up their mind to attack. However, the soldiers on the city wall cannot leave because we can't figure out which time the opponent is attacking and which is a feint. Once they become
If we pretend to attack as our main attack, we don’t have enough soldiers and horses, and we may not be able to defend the city wall."
Amstal thought for a moment and directly expressed his opinion.
"If the soldiers don't leave the city wall, can the fire in the city be controlled?"
Rijeka was also stunned when she heard Amsda's words. If the soldiers couldn't help put out the fire, then if there was an accident in the city, everything would be over.
"I don't know about that. I know that soldiers can't run back and forth. Otherwise, even if the fire in the city is extinguished, the city wall will not be able to hold on."
This is all Amsda can say now. It all depends on what you say. If you want the city wall, then the soldiers cannot move. If you don't want the city wall, then let the soldiers go out.
"Okay, I understand. The soldiers should still guard under the city wall. I will find a way to deal with the fire in the city."
Rijeka glanced at Amstal, who had already said so. There must be a war crisis on the other side of the city wall, otherwise he would never have spoken to Sui like this.
"As commanded."
Armstad saluted Rijeka again, then left the Governor's Palace and returned to the city wall army.
"Immediately summon officials and nobles from all ministries and ask all the servants in their mansions to be sent out to extinguish the flames in the city. In addition, soldiers from the Governor's Mansion will be sent to check one by one. If any servants in the mansion are not dispatched, they will be dealt with directly according to military law."
The only thing Rijeka can take now is the last step. There should be a large number of people among the officials and nobles of various ministries.
"Governor, I'm afraid this will offend those officials and nobles."
Hearing Rijeka's order, the people around him were also stunned. The person who acted like this is not a small person. You must know that these nobles and officials are the foundation of the Kushan Empire. If you want to touch their people now, you will have to risk a lot of money.
Big risk.
"That's all I can do now. Even if I offend them, it's better than Maracanda turning into a sea of fire and being burned to the ground. Do as I say, and I'll be responsible for anything."
