"Our troops have arrived in the direction of Gaofu, and we have just discovered that 100,000 Kushan troops are reinforcing Gambilas City. At this time, the Kushans should be unable to reinforce the southern battlefield.
Your troops should seize the time to launch a strong attack on the enemy, strive to break through the enemy's defense line as quickly as possible, and then move north as soon as possible to attack the enemy's imperial city."
Taishi Ci directly began to read the telegram sent by Yuan Shu.
"All the generals have heard it. Your Majesty has done a lot for us. Now that Master Chen is attached, he has attracted the only remaining soldiers and horses of Guishan, so it is time to see how we perform next."
Jia Xu glanced at the generals around him. The meaning of Yuan Shu's telegram was very obvious. I have done everything I should do here. The enemy's troops have also been attracted. You should speed up to break through the enemy's defense line, and then use the ultimate force to break through the enemy's defense line.
Head north to the Kushan Imperial Capital at high speed.
"Now that everything is like this, let's fight. The troops and horses are ready now. We're just waiting for your order."
Xu Huang glanced at Jia Xu and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Well, military advisor, give the order to attack."
Ma Chao also nodded and saluted directly to the opponent. The army had already rested. As long as the opponent gave the order, the opposite city could be captured.
"That's right, military advisor, now we are trying to buy time with the Kushans. If they find out, they will inevitably react. Now we should capture them as quickly as possible."
Gao Shun also saluted Jia Xu, with a hint of fighting intent flashing in his eyes. It was time to start the war.
"Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's dispatch the entire army to attack Heldvar."
Since everyone wanted to fight, Jia Xu didn't need to hold anything back and directly ordered the entire army to go north to attack.
"promise."
"promise."
"promise."
The generals clasped their fists, then left each other, and began to organize their troops to prepare to attack Heldvar.
Nearly 300,000 troops lined up neatly and pressed toward the city of Heldvar like an overwhelming mountain.
"The Chinese army is coming, beat the drum."
The scouts patrolling outside discovered the Chinese army heading north, and immediately returned to the city to convey the news.
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
The continuous sound of war drums exploded instantly, and the entire city of Heldvar also entered a state of alert. Soldiers went to the city to prepare for battle.
Hariwan reacted immediately when he heard the sound of drums, and was escorted by his personal guards to the top of the city wall.
"How about it?"
Hariwan looked into the distance and directly asked Politra, the general who defended the city.
"According to the scouts' report, the Chinese army is coming, with at least 200,000 soldiers and horses."
Politra saluted Harivan and told the information he had received.
"With more than 200,000 yuan, this battle will be difficult to win."
Hearing that the Chinese army numbered more than 200,000, Hariwan also frowned.
"Don't worry, General. As long as Politra is here, Heldvar will not be lost."
Seeing Harrivan frowning, Politra saluted him directly, and at the same time said the words of living or dying with the city.
"Now we are the barrier to the south of the empire. If Heldvar is lost, the huge empire will have no danger to defend and no city to rely on. It is very likely that the Chinese will directly sweep up. So now we not only have to fight with Held
To survive or die in Dewaal, we must rely on the city wall to pin the enemy firmly under the city and not allow the opponent to attack northward."
Hariwan shook his head. He wanted more than this now. If he could not defend the city, the Kushan Empire might be completely wiped out by the Chinese.
"yes."
"yes."
"yes."
The generals and soldiers on the city wall also saluted each other together.
"General, if nothing happens, you can go down to the city wall to rest. Just leave this place to me."
After everyone expressed their attitude, Politra also spoke directly and asked the other party to go down to the city wall to rest.
"No, I'm right on top of the city wall. I want to watch my Kushan man turn this place into a tomb for Chinese soldiers and build it into an imperial fortress that will never fall."
"I am with you."
"Victory is with you."
"Kushan is with you."
Hariwan shook his head. Now this battle is not only about his own life or the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, but about the life and death battle of the entire Kushan Empire. He needs to stand here and look at the soldiers under his command. , watching how they caused the Chinese soldiers to lose their troops and die under the Heldewald city wall.
"The general is with us, long live Kushan."
"The general is with us, long live you."
"The general is with us, long live Kushan."
Roars like mountains and tsunami resounded on the city wall. The eyes of every Kushan soldier were full of fighting spirit. They knew their own importance and the importance of Heldvar.
If they really cannot stop the Chinese cavalry, then they will become slaves of the subjugated country, and their homeland will be completely destroyed by the Chinese butcher knife. This is a loss that no one can bear, so they must fight in this battle. If we want to win, we must not let the Chinese take half a step north.
"It seems that these Kushan people are very popular."
Jia Xu was among the army and couldn't help but frown when he heard the vague shouts in the distance.
"Master, what will happen if the morale of the Kushans is too high?
Facing the Chinese cavalry, they will eventually become defeated, and the head of the family will surely take the first step in destroying the country."
The boy driving Jia Xu's carriage couldn't help but smile when he heard Jia Xu's words. He was already imagining the scene where Jia Xu would become a marquis and become a prime minister because of the destruction of the Kushan Empire.
"You talk nonsense. If you can speak, speak. If you can't speak, please control your mouth more strictly. If you let me hear any inappropriate remarks again, you will bear the consequences."
Jia Xu's cold voice reached the young man's ears directly across the car curtain. When he heard Jia Xu's words, the young man knew that he had said the wrong flower, and he shuddered and almost urinated.
"Master, calm down, I know I was wrong."
Hearing that the young man knew that he was wrong, Jia Xu didn't say anything, and just sat quietly in the carriage. In his opinion, he had broken through the opponent's defense line and designed to annihilate tens of thousands of the opponent's troops. At this time, Held Val's morale must be low. It seems that this Harrivan still has something.
The army went all the way north and finally arrived outside the city of Heldvar. Looking at the towering city walls, everyone frowned.
The scale of Heldvar is not large, but the city walls are high and thick. It is not flabby at first glance, and there are at least 100,000 troops in the city. This kind of city is something that no siege force is willing to encounter. .
The city is small, the walls are high, and there are many soldiers and horses. This is a nightmare level of difficulty for the siege troops.
"This city is not easy to fight,"
Jia Xu led a group of generals to the city wall of Hardvar.
"If it is difficult to fight, we must fight him. His Majesty's order has come. Even if he is a lump of iron and his teeth are broken, he must be chewed off."
Hearing Xu Huang's words, Jia Xu shook his head slightly. If Yuan Shu's telegram did not come, he could still delay for a while, use counterintuitive tactics or other strategies. In short, he could boil the frog in warm water and kill Hariwan's people.
Died in the city of Heldvar,
But now it's no longer possible. Time is victory. Only by winning this place as quickly as possible can he confidently and boldly go north to attack the imperial capital of the Kushan Empire. Only when the imperial capital is destroyed can the Kushan Empire be truly destroyed.
"Then how will the military advisor prepare to fight?"
Taishi Ci on the side glanced at Jia Xu. He also knew that time was tight and the tasks were heavy, but there must be a plan for how to fight.
"How do you feel about fighting?"
Jia Xu didn't have a clue for the time being, so he could only ask others if they had any ideas.
"Military advisor, the terrain here is low-lying, can we attack it with water?
Build dams from the upper and lower reaches of the Ganges and then direct the water to flood Hardwar?”
Zang Ba looked at the terrain in front of him, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he blurted out a simple strategy to flood the city.
"Although the terrain of Heldvar is low-lying, the city wall is very high. To divert water to flood the city requires too many requirements. The right time and place are indispensable.
Now you have to build a dike upstream, which cannot be built in a day or two, and you also need to build a diversion canal. The most important thing is that there will be no heavy rains in a short period of time that day, which is very difficult."
Jia Xu shook his head. He had already thought about the terrain of Heldvar and had also thought about the flooding strategy. However, it was a long-term project and the gap between his current short-term and fast requirements was too great.
"If the water attack fails, we can use earthwork. It will take up to five days to dig tunnels and then we can break into the city."
Since the water attack strategy is not feasible, we can only carry out the earth attack and dig tunnels to sneak attack on the city.
"The strategy of earth attack can only be used as a surprise attack, but it can be considered. You can take action now, but when you get close to the city wall, you have to temporarily stop operations and wait for the army to attack the city and the enemy is panicked to respond before you can continue to move forward."
Although the soil attack strategy can be regarded as a clever strategy, it is too risky and has limited troop transport capabilities. It can only be used as a surprise force to cooperate with large forces to attack the city. If used alone and targeted by the enemy, the consequences will be obvious.
.
"promise."
Taishi Ci clasped his fists at Jia Xu, and then whispered a few words to the bodyguard beside him, arranging for the other party to handle the soil attack.
"Do you have any other tactics?"
Jia Xu once again set his sights on the generals in front of him. These two strategies didn't work. He needed other clever strategies.
"If it doesn't work, just attack with force. If the enemy is weak, we are strong. There is no need to think about saving worry and effort. The sword is the last word. In fact, in the end, the soldiers have to risk their lives. Instead of taking those shortcuts, it is better to take the upright approach."
Gao Shun glanced at the city wall and directly said the words to attack.
"Several generals, Zhu Rong has something he doesn't know whether to say or not."
