Chapter 1448: Lure the snake out of its hole
The Chinese army moved quickly and withdrew the city wall as quickly as possible. At the same time, driven by strong men, the carriages also evacuated the city wall and followed the army in retreating.
"Scattershot, release."
Seeing his troops evacuate the city wall, Wu Yu had nothing to say and directly gave orders to his subordinates, asking the soldiers to throw out the shotguns that had been prepared.
"Trebuchet, retreat down the city wall quickly."
Seeing the scattered bullets appearing on the horizon, Politra finally understood what Hariwan meant. This was because he had predicted the Chinese people's reaction in advance and knew that they would use trebuchets to attack the city wall after withdrawing their troops.
Fortunately, he was not reckless, otherwise it would be difficult for him to estimate how disastrous his losses would be if this wave of bullets hit him.
Although the Kushan Army was prepared in advance, they had too many people and were the last to attack. Facing the overwhelming influx of shotguns, the losses were still considerable. Dead bodies and wounded groaning in pools of blood were everywhere.
"Ignore the wounded for now and give priority to ensuring that the soldiers who are in good health get off the city wall. As long as our people evacuate, the enemy's trebuchets will not be launched again."
Politra looked at the tragic situation on the city wall and directly issued an order not to allow the rescue of the wounded, letting the uninjured people go first. Only when the city wall was cleared and the Chinese people saw that there was no profit, could they give up.
Trebuchet attack.
Politra ordered that the Kushan people are also evil in human nature. Some people are okay. Although they do not take care of the wounded, they do not harm them. But some people are good. When they see a wounded person standing in front of them, they directly
Just one knife, and then he ran over the corpse towards the bottom of the city wall.
Seeing the current situation, Politra had nothing to say, and it was only natural that this would lead to such consequences.
This situation did not last long. As the number of soldiers on the city wall decreased, the Chinese side did not use trebuchets to launch attacks again, which finally gave the wounded a way out.
"General, Politra's incompetence caused the loss of troops and horses. I hope he will be punished."
Politra came to Harivan, admitted his mistake and was punished.
"The fault is not yours, but the fault of the Chinese people. Don't worry too much."
Hariwan shook his head. If he really wanted to blame, he could only blame Kushan for being too weak and himself for not being as advanced as the other side. However, these soldiers who risked their lives for the country had no responsibility at all.
"So what do we do now?"
Politra looked at the wounded and corpses that were being carried down from the city wall with confusion in his eyes.
"What should I do? When the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. Instruct the soldiers to be on guard. They must not relax day and night. In addition, we must be careful of the Chinese people's earth attack techniques. Do you understand?"
Hariwan doesn't know what to do now. All he can do now is to take one step at a time. Whatever the Chinese people want to do, they can only passively accept it.
"yes."
Politra nodded and took Harrivan's order to set up defenses. Harrivan could not bear to look at the corpses piled below and the wounded lying aside.
"Here comes someone."
Hariwan shouted directly to his personal guards.
"The bodies of these fallen soldiers must be properly disposed of. If their family members are in the city, let their families take them back. In addition, the pension must be sufficient.
If the family members are not in the city, they will be registered, the body will be cremated immediately, and when the war is over, all localities will be ordered to make up the pension.
We must do our best to treat the wounded. If we can save two, we cannot save one. Do you understand?"
Soon Hariwan's order was conveyed to all armies and ministries. The soldiers also agreed with Hariwan's meaning. They shed their blood for Kushan. If they don't get the respect they deserve even after death, then they
I really don’t know if I can persist to the end in the next battle.
Morale, which was originally low, had a short recovery after Harivan's pension order.
Here the Chinese army returned to camp, and all the generals gathered in Jia Xu's tent.
"General Zang Ba, how are the casualties today?"
Jia Xu set his sights directly on Zang Ba. The enemy resisted fiercely and he wanted to know how much he had lost on the first day.
"The Hengye Army, the Xuzhou Army and their affiliated troops attacked the city wall, resulting in a total of more than 5,400 casualties, most of which were caused by close combat with the enemy on the city wall."
Knowing that Jia Xu would definitely ask, Zang Ba had already done his homework.
"The casualties are quite acceptable. How many heavy bombs, shotguns, and net-breaking bombs are there for the troops?"
The casualties of more than 5,000 people who fought hard for a day were not much at all for siege. These were all within Jia Xu's acceptable range.
"There are more heavy bullets and loose bullets, enough to last until the end of this battle. Moreover, I have organized craftsmen to dig out the surrounding rocks and polish them into bullets to supply the army. Only the net-breaking bullets have not much left. After all, only craftsmen can make this thing."
The camp can make it.”
As a logistics officer, Che Ting is responsible for all the supplies. In order to prevent problems with the trebuchet's stone bullets, Che Ting has long begun to recruit local craftsmen to make stone bullets for the army, but for slightly higher-end items like net-breaking bullets
The things need to be allocated from Yizhou.
"I understand. If the generals have nothing to say, please go down and rest."
Jia Xu nodded. As a logistics officer, Che Ting did everything in an orderly manner. He also knew how to organize craftsmen to use local materials to make stone bullets to supply the army. Fortunately, he did not wrong the other party in the first place.
"promise."
"promise."
"promise."
After all the generals left, only Jia Xu was still meditating in the tent. The opponent's defense was within his expectations, but there was a problem in trying to break through the city easily. If he didn't go north until Yuan Shu broke through Gaofu, he would be in trouble by then.
Passive.
You have to find a way to get the other party out of the city to fight with you in the wild.
Jia Xu began to carefully observe Kanyu in front of him, and did not rest for a long time.
At dawn the next day, Jia Xu's eyes shone brightly after a sleepless night, showing no sign of fatigue.
"Military advisor, you look radiant today. It seems you had a good sleep yesterday."
The person in charge of guarding the camp yesterday was Tai Shici. Seeing Jia Xu like this, he couldn't help but be confused. He clearly saw the lights in the tent brightly lit all night. Could it be that Jia Xu liked to sleep with the lights on?
"Summon the generals from all ministries over immediately to discuss matters."
Jia Xu rubbed his face with his hands and asked Tai Shici to summon the generals from all ministries to come over for a meeting.
"military adviser."
"military adviser."
"military adviser."
A group of people had just woken up, and now Jia Xu summoned them, and they all rushed to the Chinese army's tent together.
"Generals, everyone has witnessed the city defense of Heldvar. It is very difficult to capture it in a short time. Even if we do capture it, our losses will definitely be no less than 50,000, or even 100,000.
Maybe."
After looking at everyone, Jia Xu expressed his thoughts.
"What does the military advisor mean?"
Hearing Jia Xu's words, several generals were stunned. What does this mean?
When Jia Xu said this, they were really confused.
"I meant to let Heldvar go."
Jia Xu rolled his eyes and said something that everyone couldn't understand.
"military adviser?
Is this true?
Let Heldvar go under the current circumstances?
This won’t work.”
Xu Huang was the first to stand up. The Chinese army encountered many difficult bones to chew. They had never let the enemy off just because they resisted tenaciously. Besides, letting him go now would be tantamount to exposing his logistics supply line to the enemy.
, this is going to cause problems.
"Yes, I don't agree to let Heldvar go. This will be like a thorn in our backs and a bullet in our throats. This doesn't seem to be a smart move."
Gao Shun also shook his head. He did not agree with what Jia Xu said. Hardvar is the base point of the southern Guishan defense line. It has the largest number of troops and the strongest defense. It is also on a strategic road. If it cannot be taken here,
If you come down, you will have to face enemy harassment all the time. By then, the army's supplies may be in huge danger.
"Everyone, please be patient. We can all see things. Whether the military advisor can see it or not, let's listen to the military advisor's explanation."
Zang Ba looked at everyone on the side and then at Jia Xu. Although he did not agree with the other party's statement, since Jia Xu could say this, he must have his own thoughts and reasons, otherwise the other party would not be able to become the leader of the army.
commander in chief.
"That's right, Military Advisor, tell us what you think, so that we can also gain some brainpower."
Ma Chao also glanced at Jia Xu. He didn't believe that Jia Xu was a fool. The most likely possibility was that he was a fool. If that was the case, he would like to hear what wonderful ideas Jia Xu had.
"Basically all the enemy's power is now in the city of Heldvar. This is the center of gravity and the base point of the entire defense. Our attack by force will cause too much damage and take too long. If we choose to go around and go north to Baisha, what do you think of the city?
What would Harivan inside think and do?"
Since everyone was opposed, Jia Xu also smiled at everyone. Fortunately, there were no idiots here, otherwise he would really be scratching his head.
"If I were Hariwan, I would like you to lead the army north. It can't be reached from here to Loubaisha in a day or two. It will take at least more than a month, or even two months.
As long as I send troops to cut off China's supplies after the army has left for a period of time, the army going north will be in a dilemma.
If I were more ruthless and led my troops to leave Hardwar, cross the Ganges River and attack eastward, if I could fight all the way to Sun Moon Star City, I would completely cut off the supplies of the Chinese army."
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Ma Chao reacted immediately. If he was really Hariwan, what he hoped most now was that the Chinese army would let Haridvar go and go north.
"General Ma Chao is right. Everyone must be thinking about the same thing, but the central idea remains the same, which is to find a way to cut off our supplies and make the army chaotic without fighting."
Jia Xu nodded, what Ma Chao said was basically what these people felt.
"Commander, please tell me what you want to do."
Seeing Jia Xu starting to talk about other things again, Taishi Ci couldn't help but feel anxious.
"My idea is to give the supply line to the Kushan people, let them eat it, and let them cut it off."
After what Jia Xu said, everyone fell into depression again. What did it mean to leave their logistics supplies to the Kushan people?
"The military advisor means to lure the snake out of its hole?
Deliberately sending troops north to create a false impression, allowing the enemies of Heldvar City to send troops to attack our logistics supply line, and then send troops to fight with the opponent in the field, annihilating them in the fields in one fell swoop?"
Xu Huang can be a bit over-the-top at times, but when it comes to military strategy, he still has something to say.
"Yes, that's what I mean, to lure the snake out of its hole, and my bait is the army's supply line. As long as the enemy is greedy enough, they will never miss this opportunity."
