The first thousand four hundred and twenty-eight chapters conspiracy to trick
Chapter 1,428 Conspiracy vs. Conspiracy
After receiving Jia Xu's order, the Chinese navy immediately turned the bow of the ship and attacked the Kushan people's water stronghold.
The Kushan Navy had been completely defeated. The defense of the water village was just like paper in front of countless trebuchets and giant crossbows. It didn't take long to resist before being occupied by the Chinese Navy. Countless sailors went into battle.
After occupying the water stronghold, they began to arrange defenses to guard against the enemy's attack on the shore.
At the same time, troop transport ships loaded with soldiers also set off from the Chinese side. Thousands of sails raced, and thousands of boats competed with each other, breaking through the waves of the Ganges River and rushing towards the water village.
"Open the city gate quickly, open the city gate quickly."
The navy collapsed, and naturally some people fled to the shore to report the military situation to General Hariwan.
"For what?"
Seeing the soldiers covered in blood, the guards on the city wall immediately became alert.
"Our navy has been defeated by the Chinese. General Fabrat committed suicide on the flagship. Now the enemy has occupied the water stronghold and is transporting troops to the other side of the river. Quickly open the city gate and report to the general."
The soldiers immediately told about the battle on the Ganges River. Our navy was defeated and the water stronghold was occupied. If it were later, maybe all the Chinese army had crossed the Ganges River.
"Hurry up and release the spider plants, and inform the general immediately."
After hearing these words, the defenders on the city wall did not dare to neglect. They put down the spider plants and pulled the opponent up, while sending people to report the news to General Hariwan.
"What?
The navy was defeated, Fabrat committed suicide, and the Chinese have already begun to cross the river?"
Hearing this news, General Hariwan was completely stunned. He had promised to be invincible on the Ganges River and had promised to feed all the Chinese people to fish. How could it be gone now and be defeated so easily by the Chinese people?
Tell him what to do.
"General, now is not the time to be surprised. I think the top priority is to send cavalry to kill it immediately. The Chinese must not be allowed to transport troops and horses to the other side of the river through the water stronghold. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to defend this place."
Glancing at Harriwan in a daze, the general Hertos on one side saluted directly to the other side. Now it was a foregone conclusion that the enemy would cross the river. If they could not drive them back while their foothold was not stable, everything would be lost if they really waited until their army came to kill them.
It's all over.
"Well, Hertos, you immediately lead 20,000 cavalry out of the city and attack the water stronghold. You must take down the water stronghold. In addition, all the troops and horses are ready. I will lead 100,000 troops and horses to go out. They must not be killed.
come over."
Harriwan nodded. Now is not the time to blame anyone. The top priority is to drive the enemy back.
"yes."
Hertos saluted Harrivan, received the military order, and went directly to the barracks to gather the cavalry and prepare to leave the city to attack the Chinese soldiers who had just landed.
"General, I think it's too late to send troops."
Hertos left, and another old general couldn't help but frowned and spoke to him.
"I know that the navy has collapsed and the huge Ganges River has been owned by China. Even if we can repel them this time, it will still be difficult to resist them next time they choose a place we don't know to land, right?"
Harriwan looked at the other party and directly said everything he wanted to say.
"Yes, in that case why lead a large army to attack? Once the enemy lands from other directions and sneak attacks on our rear team, the 100,000 troops may be in danger by then. Instead of doing this, it is better to concentrate on defending the city and do our best to delay the enemy.
Footsteps heading north."
Amukla saluted Hariwan. Since the other party had seen through this, he didn't understand why he still led the army out of the city to fight.
"You don't understand. The Chinese people across from us use their troops strangely and appear mysteriously. Our navy has just been defeated. He will definitely want to deploy troops through the water stronghold. This may be our only chance to fight the opponent head-on, and it is also the only one.
An opportunity to bully the weak,
Even if they land from other places by then, we can still use this opportunity to kill the enemy to the maximum extent.
Moreover, it can also give the other side the illusion that we are heavily defended here, forcing them to land from further away, delaying more time.
As for being attacked by surprise, it is simply impossible. After killing the enemy, the army will immediately withdraw to the city and defend it."
Hariwan has fought with Jia Xu many times, and he knows Jia Xu very well. He has also suffered a lot from the opponent's clever calculations. This may be his only chance to fight the opponent openly.
If he can't seize the opportunity to bite the other person, he's afraid that he won't have another chance in the future.
"So that's it. Amukla thought it was simple. I'm going to gather troops and prepare to go out with the general."
Since Hariwan understood his worries, Amukla had nothing to say, so he saluted directly and went down to gather his troops.
"Jia Xu, I want to see if you can count on this move."
Hariwan closed his eyes to rest, his eyes filled with pride.
The city's troops and horses are being prepared over there, and nearly 20,000 cavalry have been assembled and may set off at any time. Here, Chinese troop transport ships are also continuously transporting soldiers to the other side of the Ganges River.
"Military Advisor, now that the Kushan Navy has been defeated by us, we can attack from anywhere in the Ganges River, so why do we have to attack from the water village?"
Xu Huang appeared in front of Jia Xu. He didn't understand why he stormed the water stronghold and then used this place as a base to expand his army. This place was too conspicuous. If he were Hariwan, he would never let the Chinese army land easily. He would send troops out of the city.
For sure, he didn't believe that Jia Xu couldn't see things that he could see.
"I know what you mean. You know that Shuizhai is easy to be targeted by the opponent, but you still want to log in from here, but are you confused about this?"
Jia Xu glanced at the water village on the other side of the river, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an arc.
"Could it be that the military advisor has other arrangements?"
Seeing the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, Xu Huang immediately understood that this matter was not as simple as he thought, but when he looked around, he didn't seem to see any special arrangements by Jia Xu.
"I want to say that the reason why I stormed the water village was as bait, just to feed the Kushan people. Can you understand?"
For the generals under their command, China has always given priority to guiding them and cultivating their overall view, and Jia Xu is no exception.
"Bait, what is Lord Zhou Mu's goal?
Could it be that you want to mobilize the enemies of Heldvar, and then send troops to attack them in a surprise attack to capture them in one fell swoop?"
Sure enough, Jia Xu had an arrangement, but what was his purpose?
Could it be that he really wanted to capture Heldvar as he thought?
"It is temporarily impossible to capture Heldvar. The Kushans want to eat my soldiers and horses in the water stronghold, and I also want to eat their soldiers and horses leaving the city. It's that simple."
Jia Xu shook his head. Although he also wanted to capture Heldvar, one bite would not make him fat. His current idea was to capture the fish that bit the bait.
"Just rely on the navy on the Ganges River and the soldiers and horses in the water village?
Military advisor, what are your plans?"
Xu Huang's heart felt itchy at this moment. He really couldn't imagine what a water village and a navy wandering on the river could do.
"Observation needs to be careful. Could it be that you didn't notice that there was someone missing here today?"
Having said that, Jia Xu was helpless for a while. Xu Huang is usually a very smart person, why was he so clueless today?
"There is someone missing, Meng Qi?
Could it be that the Master Military Advisor has sent Meng Qi’s Xuanwei Army to sneak to the other side of the river?”
Now Xu Huang finally understood that Jia Xu had already made all preparations, from fishing in small boats, to naval surprise attacks, to now crossing the river using the water stronghold as a base, to Xuanwei's army preparing for a sneak attack, all of this was a comprehensive plan.
Linked to each other, he now felt a bit of silence for Hariwan opposite.
"When we were fighting on the river, Ma Chao led the Xuanwei Army to cross the river from the upper reaches. Now we can almost cross the half of the river."
Jia Xu nodded. According to his speculation, Ma Chao should be halfway across the river by now.
"Hurry up."
Ma Chao grabbed his horse and reached the other side of the Ganges River, and then urged his soldiers to land as soon as possible.
A Xuanwei Army cavalryman silently got off the troop ship and boarded the other side of the river. He spread out his formation and moved forward quickly to create space for the follow-up troops to deploy.
The troop transport ship did not stop for a moment. After unloading the war horses and Xuanwei troops, it immediately returned to the other side of the river to continue transporting the remaining troops.
"Zhou Chi."
Ma Chao took a look at the situation in front of him and directly called the scout captain of the Xuanwei Army.
"The end will be here."
A young man with a thin body but bright eyes clasped his fists at the opponent.
"You should immediately take some good players to check on the opponent's situation and see if the city has sent any troops."
What Ma Chao wants to know most now is the enemy's dynamics. If the opponent does not send troops, there is no point in coming here. But if they do, don't blame yourself for being ruthless.
"promise."
Upon hearing Ma Chao's order, Zhou Chi saluted directly, then selected a few elite warriors, advanced lightly, and ran in the direction of Heldvar.
"Set off,"
After Heldvar's cavalry was ready, they opened the city gate and ran towards the water stronghold.
"hide."
Hearing the rumble of horse hooves, Zhou Chi directly ordered the cavalry around him to hide. Now that the cavalry appeared, there was no one else but the enemy.
Several cavalrymen immediately tested their horses and ran wildly, chose a woods and went into it.
"Hurry up."
Hertos couldn't care about anything else right now. His eyes were all on the other side's water stronghold. He never thought that there would be Chinese cavalry scouts in the surrounding woods.
"Rumble."
The horse's hooves vibrated and moved straight forward, past the woods where Zhou Chi was, and ran towards the water village.
"what to do?"
A scout glanced at Zhou Chi. The enemy had already launched an attack. What should they do?
"You report to the general immediately. I will lead the people to continue moving forward to see if the enemy has any other actions."
Zhou Chi thought for a while. Although he saw the enemy's cavalry now, his mission was not that. He wanted to know clearly whether the opponent had other troops.
