Jia Xu nodded. No matter what the reason is, it is not advisable to open fire on one's own people. The damage to the morale of the soldiers will be great. At this moment, Xu Huang has fallen into a strange circle. He wants to capture Hull.
The city of Deval is already a bit crazy, which is not advisable.
"Military advisor, is it too serious to ask General Xu Huang to come back now?"
When Zang Ba heard Jia Xu's order, he couldn't help but be stunned. You just ordered not to allow him to use self-inflicted attacks. Now that he is removed, the blow to Xu Huang will be gone.
"He must be brought back. He is overheated now. If he is still allowed to command from the front, I am afraid that he will go into battle himself. The wall of Heldvar is a Shura shelter. If he rushes up too fiercely,
Being killed here, I really have no face to face His Majesty, nor do I have the face to face his family."
Zang Ba thought of dealing a heavy blow to Xu Huang, but Jia Xu looked further. If he was not allowed to use trebuchets to attack the city wall, then with his current mind, he would probably go into battle with his sword and lead his soldiers to attack the city wall.
, if something went wrong, he would really be embarrassed to see Yuan Shu and Xu Huang's family members.
"promise."
Hearing what Jia Xu said, Zang Ba also understood the other party's good intentions. Even if he thought about it so carefully, Xu Huang might actually be able to do this. If something went wrong, it would be over.
"Wait a minute, Ziyi, you go there with Xuangao."
"promise."
Soon Zang Ba and Taishi Ci rode their horses to the bottom of the city wall. Seeing that Xu Huang was still commanding from below, they both breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, they were really afraid that they were coming. Xu Huang had already rushed to the city wall first.
Then it collapses.
"Since Ziyi is here, the military advisor must have disagreed with my plan."
Glancing at Taishi Ci who was following Zang Ba, Xu Huang immediately understood that Jia Xu must have not agreed with his idea, otherwise Zang Ba might not be able to come back.
"Gongming, the military advisor wants you to return to the central army immediately."
Taishi Ci cupped his fists at Xu Huang and directly told Jia Xu what he meant.
"Are you going to give up my military power?
Since the military advisor does not agree to use trebuchets to attack the city wall, I will naturally not disobey the military order. It would be a bit bad for me to go back now."
Hearing Tai Shici's words, Xu Huang's brows furrowed. Although he had different ideas, he couldn't just give up his military power.
"Gongming, don't think too much. The military advisor will naturally have his own plans. You have to trust the military advisor. If you give up your military power because of this trivial matter, I'm afraid you won't be able to get through with His Majesty."
Taishi Ci knew what Jia Xu wanted to do, but there were some things that were better left to Jia Xu himself.
"Okay, then I'll leave this place to you, Brother Xuan Gao."
Since Taishi Ci had said so, Xu Huang had nothing to say, so he directly handed over the command to Zang Ba, and then followed Taishi Ci out of the city wall and returned to the central army.
"The entire army continues to attack and must open up the situation."
After Xu Huang left, Zang Ba took over the baton, and the battle continued without any changes because of his departure.
"Military advisor, General Xu Huang has returned."
Taishi Ci cupped his fists and saluted Jia Xu.
"Military advisor, Xu Huang is here."
Xu Huang also cupped his fists and saluted Jia Xu.
"Gongming, do you have any objections to me recruiting you back?"
Jia Xu glanced at Xu Huang. Although there was no change in the other person's face, Jia Xu could already see the confusion in his eyes.
"No, Xu Huang knows that he did not do well, and I have no objection to the result."
Suddenly, Jia Xu saw through his heart, even Xu Huang could only salute to him.
"If you don't accept it, just accept it. It's not that I don't know what you think. Now I'm going to ask you to answer. You must adhere to your own heart and give me the answer."
Although the other party said so, Jia Xu could still see his inner dissatisfaction. After all, it was just a small problem, so he gave the command. In the eyes of the other party, it must have been a bit of a fuss.
"Military advisor, please ask. Xu Huang must have told you everything he knows."
"Then I asked, do you have any complaints about my disapproval of your intention to use trebuchets to attack the city wall?"
Jia Xu nodded and directly asked his first question.
"There are indeed some complaints. Now we can't open up a situation on the city wall. In the final analysis, it's because we are outnumbered. The Kushan army has too many people on the city wall. Our soldiers killed one and the second one, and killed the third one.
Two will lead to a third,
If trebuchets are used to attack the city wall now, even if there will be some casualties to our soldiers, the losses of the Kushans will definitely be several times that of ours.
If you can use the trebuchet to tear through the enemy's wall defenses, it is very likely that Heldvar will be captured today."
Now that Jia Xu said this, Xu Huang also lost his temper and directly expressed all his thoughts.
"You also said it was possible. What should we do if we can't win Heldvar this time?
As you said, the losses caused by the trebuchet attack on the Kushans will be several times that of ours.
But so what, how many soldiers and horses we have, it is impossible to make up for it. It can be said that if we die in battle, we will lose one.
And we now have an absolute advantage. If we really have to sacrifice our own soldiers in exchange for an uncertain victory, do you think this is a good strategy?"
Jia Xu glanced at Xu Huang, since you said that, I want to let you know what the current situation is like.
"This, I think those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you can strive for it."
Although Jia Xu made such long remarks, and they were all very reasonable, Xu Huang still had his own persistence.
"Gongming, you are too determined to win. Marching and fighting is not business. This is why I removed you from the front line."
Jia Xu shook his head. In this state, Xu Huang cared too much about victory and defeat. This was what he was afraid of.
"I have a strong desire to win. The military advisor is right about this. But when fighting for you, you must go all out. Otherwise, how can I earn your majesty's trust and support?"
Xu Huang understood many things, but now he wanted to relieve China's worries and expand its territory for Yuan Shu. He did not think what he did was wrong.
"Then let me ask you again, if I don't recruit you back now, and I don't agree with you using a trebuchet to shoot at the city wall, will you have to lead your own team to attack the city wall?"
Jia Xu knew that he might have wrongly blamed Xu Huang. What the other party valued was not personal gain, but wanting to open up territory for China and expand territory for Yuan Shu.
"What the military advisor said is true. I am indeed going to personally go out and fight in the city."
A trace of surprise flashed in Xu Huang's eyes. He really didn't understand how Jia Xu guessed what he was thinking.
"The reason why I recruited you back is because I'm afraid of this. Have you ever thought about the city wall that tens of thousands of people are fighting for over and over again, and how much hope you have in trying to lever it all with your own personal power."
Jia Xu really wants to suppress the other party's stubbornness now.
"No matter how great the hope is, Xu Huang fights for China, even if he fights to the death of the city wall, it doesn't matter."
Xu Huang also understood what Jia Xu meant. He knew that an individual's power was insignificant on a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, but he was not afraid of this. Isn't it just a corpse wrapped in horse leather?
Xu Huang doesn't care.
"What I'm afraid of is that you don't care. You have to know that since you became General Hengye, your life is not your own, but the entire Chinese Empire.
It is said that a thousand armies are easy to win but a general is hard to find. If you are really too brave and cause problems on the city wall, it is not only disrespect for your own life, but also disrespect for His Majesty and the Empire.
You want to keep your useful body and serve the country, do you understand?"
Jia Xu glanced at Xu Huang and said what he really meant.
"this."
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Xu Huang was somewhat stunned. After all, his life no longer belonged to him, which made him somewhat confused.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Now you can just stay by my side with peace of mind. Whenever you turn your head away from me, you can direct the troops to fight."
Regardless of whether the other party has figured it out or not, Jia Xu is not going to let him go in a short time. If he really loses a general because of the war in one city and one place, then he can buy a piece of tofu and kill him.
"Promise, Xu Huang obeys your order."
Now that Jia Xu has said this, Xu Huang has nothing to resist. After all, the other party is the commander-in-chief of this army. If he is talking about something now, he may really be put on the preparation table all the way north.
Xu Huang slowly stood behind Jia Xu. The battle on the city wall was still continuing. Both sides were trying their best to capture the other side. Although the situation on the battlefield was favorable to China, they still wanted to completely capture the city wall.
It still requires a lot of effort.
After looking at the sky, Jia Xu directly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and then he went back to the military camp first.
"Mingjin withdraws the troops."
Xu Huang looked at the city wall in the distance and directly ordered the soldiers to withdraw their troops.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang."
The crisp sound of ringing gold resounded throughout the sky, and the soldiers attacking the city in the distance also heard the order.
"General, it's gold."
Seeing Zang Ba's lack of movement, the guard commander beside him couldn't help but speak to him.
"Immediately send someone to communicate with Wu Yu. We are preparing to retreat. Let his trebuchets be prepared. When our soldiers withdraw from the city wall, we will immediately launch the trebuchets and kill them for me."
Although Zang Ba couldn't do anything to his own people, he showed no mercy to the enemy. Even if he withdrew his troops, he would find a way to do this to the enemy.
"promise."
Zang Ba's order was immediately conveyed to the trebuchet troops.
"Don't worry, General Zang Ba. I have been prepared here for a long time. As long as our soldiers retreat, the Kushan people here will taste the taste of death as soon as possible."
When Wu Yu heard Zang Ba's order, he also gave him a positive reply. This was not done once or twice. He had already made corresponding preparations here.
"Since the trebuchet has been prepared for a long time, we must withdraw our troops and move quickly. We can also withdraw the building and carts as soon as possible. After all, it is not easy to build. Everyone must cherish it."
After hearing the scout's affirmative reply, Zang Ba nodded and directly ordered the soldiers to retreat.
After receiving Zang Ba's affirmative order, the army immediately began to retreat. The soldiers used the building and carts to withdraw the city wall in an orderly manner from the inside to the outside.
"The enemy wants to withdraw. The whole army is pressing forward. Kill as many as you can."
When Politra saw the Chinese soldiers beginning to retreat, he immediately understood that the other party was trying to escape, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to move forward and try his best to keep as many enemies on the city wall as possible.
"The Chinese have retreated. Immediately ring gold and tell Politra to withdraw the soldiers to me."
As the commander-in-chief, Hariwan is not suitable to appear on the city wall now, but even if he is below, he is not idle. Hearing the sound of the Chinese people's gold, an idea immediately appeared in his mind, the Chinese trebuchets were about to be launched.
.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang."
Both sides were shouting gold and the sound was exploding. The Kushan army on the city wall was stunned when they heard this sound. Now that the enemy had retreated, they could just take the opportunity to kill more Chinese people. Why did they also shout gold and withdraw their troops?
"General, what should we do?"
The commander next to Politra looked at the Chinese army in front of him, his eyes full of hesitation.
"what to do?
Dare you disobey the general's orders?
If the Chinese people leave, let them go, and order the entire army to stop pursuing and retreat to the bottom of the city wall."
Compared to killing more Chinese people, he was more afraid of Hariwan. If he was punished because he disobeyed orders and continued to attack the Chinese people, it would be more gain than loss.
Upon hearing Politra's order, the Kushan army on the city wall also suspended its pursuit and allowed the Chinese soldiers to retreat downward through the carriages, and they also began to retreat downward through the stairs.
"General, the enemy has also retreated, what should we do?"
Seeing that the Kushan people also began to retreat to the bottom of the city wall, the guard commander spoke to Zang Ba again.
"To retreat means that the lives of Kushan people should not be spared. Order the army to speed up and capture as many as you can."
The Kushan people retreated just like him. This was something he couldn't interfere with. All he could do now was to be himself.
