Jia Xu nodded. The current situation is like this. If you want to win Heldvar with minimal casualties, you can only let the opponent come out of the turtle shell. Otherwise, you can only fight head-on and fight with the lives of soldiers.
.
"Then what if the other side doesn't send troops, what should we do?
Are you turning around and attacking?
Isn’t this a waste of time?”
Although what Jia Xu said was very reasonable, there would always be something unexpected and unusual. If Harry didn't fall for it, then he would have wasted a lot of time in vain.
"What does a little time mean compared to a soldier's life?
We can't lose anything on this deal."
Jia Xu also shook his head in response to Xu Huang's worry. Although he never took human life seriously, the current situation is that if he suffers too much damage, he may not be able to achieve full success when he goes north. This is something he does not allow.
So as long as there is a way, you should try it.
"Now that the military advisor has thought it through, please give the order."
After hearing what Jia Xu said, everyone also understood that the other party was talking about consultation on the surface, but in fact he was issuing orders in the name of consultation, and they could not tolerate them not accepting it.
"Okay, then I will give the order, Gao Shun, Zang Ba."
Jia Xu glanced at the people in front of him and directly ordered the generals of Gao Shunhe and Zang Ba.
"exist."
"exist."
Zang Ba and Gao Shun saluted Jia Xu together.
"I ordered you and your troops to stay outside the city of Heldvar to create the illusion that the army is still encircling you."
Jia Xu directly stated the order given to them.
"Military advisor, what do you mean, what you mean is that what you say is true, and what is true is false. We want the other party to know that our army is heading north, but we cannot let the other party know that our people have left, otherwise the other party will be suspicious again?"
Gao Shun was also smart. When he heard what Jia Xu meant, he immediately understood that this was called hiding something. If he had told the Kushan people so clearly that he was going north, they would have immediately known that this was a trick to lure the snake out of the cave and let the other party investigate on their own.
Only then can you believe it and send troops.
"That's what it means. You must go through all the trouble to hide it, and let the other party discover it accidentally. You must master this degree, do you understand?"
Jia Xu nodded. Gao Shun's words were what he wanted to explain. Now it's like acting. Whether the other party can be fooled depends on how well these two people perform.
"Yes, we will definitely master this speed, don't worry, military advisor."
Zang Ba also nodded, saying that he would definitely complete the other party's mission.
"Ma Chao."
Jia Xu set his sights on Ma Chao.
"exist."
Ma Chao also cupped his fists and saluted Jia Xu.
"You are responsible for creating traces and creating the illusion that the army is heading north to Baisha. After the Kushan people discover that our army has left, the first thing they will do is to send people to investigate our actions.
Only when they are sure that we have really left will they send troops to attack the actors of Zang Ba and Gao Shun first, and then go south to attack the Ganges River Basin."
Jia Xu glanced at Ma Chao. If the scene between Gao Shun and Zang Ba was the first scene, then Ma Chao's scene was the second scene. The first scene was the introduction, and the second scene was the finale. Both scenes were equally important and both were indispensable.
.
"I understand all this, but there is one thing I want to confirm, that is, how long does it take for me to go north and return?"
Jia Xu said it in detail, and Ma Chao also understood what he needed to do, but he was really unsure about one thing: the time and distance, and how long it would take to return to support the battlefield.
"This is up to you. If there is no problem in my guess, the battle should start around the tenth day. You have to allocate your time well so that the enemy can feel that the army is heading north without delaying the battle. Do you understand?
"
Jia Xu did not give Ma Chao a clear time, because this time is difficult to define and needs to be adjusted to the times and circumstances. It all depends on Ma Chao himself.
"Ma Chao understands."
Although Jia Xu did not give a clear time, Ma Chao had already made up his mind and directly saluted the opponent with cupped fists.
"Tai Shi Ci, Mrs. Zhu Rong."
Jia Xu nodded to Ma Chao, and then ordered Taishi Ci and Zhu Rong.
"exist."
"exist."
The two of them saluted together.
"Prepare troops and horses, leave quietly in the middle of the night, go south and hide near the water stronghold, wait until the enemy enters the ambush circle and immediately rush out, fight them decisively, and be sure to annihilate most of the enemy in the wild."
"promise."
"promise."
The two of them took the order together.
"Commander, what about me?
How about the Yokoye Army?"
Hearing that everyone had tasks, Xu Huang also directly clasped his fists and asked for a fight.
"The Yokoye Army is hidden near the city of Heldvar. The enemy will definitely go all out when leaving the city this time. There will not be many soldiers and horses left in the city. The task of you and the Yokoye Army is to wait until the enemy leaves and then attack them as quickly as possible.
The city of Heldvar is captured. Whether you can take full credit for this battle depends on whether you and the Yokoye Army can capture this place."
Although Jia Xu has some scruples about Xu Huang's current mentality, he still has no doubts about hiring people, and now we need people who are willing to sacrifice everything for the country to do this. Xu Huang is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
"Nuo, Xu Huang and the Hengye Army will definitely break through Heldvar, leaving the enemy with no way to retreat, creating the most favorable conditions for the army to annihilate the enemy."
When Xu Huang heard that Jia Xu had given him and Hengye Military Commission important responsibilities, what else could he say? He just cupped his fists and accepted the order.
"Okay, that's it. The army will continue to attack the city today. Although we have to lure the snake out of its hole, we still have to do what we should do. Do you understand?"
Jia Xu glanced at the generals and directly ordered the army to continue the attack.
The Chinese army jumped out again and formed a formation to advance towards the city of Heldvar.
"General, the Chinese army is coming."
The Chinese army was coming, and someone immediately came to report the situation to Hariwan.
"Still follow yesterday's strategy. No soldiers on the city wall for the time being. Wait for the enemy to approach and deal with it in the upper city. Remember, once the enemy is defeated, you must retreat immediately. Don't repeat yesterday's mistakes."
When he heard that the Chinese army was coming, Hariwan had nothing to say. He directly ordered the soldiers to defend against the Chinese attack according to the situation yesterday. At the same time, he also left the mansion immediately and led his troops to the bottom of the city wall.
"General."
Politra glanced at Harrivan and saluted him directly.
"Well, how is the morale of the army?"
Hariwan looked at the soldiers under the city wall and directly asked the morale of the opposing army.
"There is no problem with the morale of the troops. Although the Chinese are powerful, we are not vegetarians."
Politra nodded at the opponent. There was no problem with the morale of the army. As long as the Chinese dared to attack, they would definitely let the opponent know how powerful they were.
"As long as there is no problem with morale, you must always pay attention. If there is a problem with that unit, immediately replace it and rest. Sometimes the collapse of one soldier may cause a chain reaction, and the entire battlefield may be affected."
Hariwan had nothing else to say. He only had one request now, to ensure that his troops would not collapse in the battle, otherwise the consequences would be chain-linking and they would simply not be able to bear it.
"yes."
Politra saluted again, indicating that he understood what to do.
"Well, go ahead."
The Kushan troops and horses were already ready, just waiting for the Chinese army to come and kill them.
When the Chinese army came to the city of Heldvar, it was still the same as yesterday, with the same layout as yesterday. The trebuchets were set up first, but they did not attack because the Kushan army had no targets worth bombing and could only wait for the army to attack the city.
"The truck is dispatched."
Seeing that there were no soldiers on the enemy's city wall, Zang Ba directly ordered the soldiers to push the carts to attack the city wall.
More than a dozen building trucks appeared directly and moved forward slowly under the push of soldiers. This time the elites of the army did not step forward. Only the militia under their command were matched with the recruits recruited from Guishang, because the elites had to prepare for the next battle.
, now it’s just for performance, so there’s no need to go all out to attack.
"The enemy is coming, and they are thirty steps away."
The Chinese soldiers and horses moved forward, and the Kushan army's scouts on the city wall immediately came over to report the situation.
"Advance towards the wall."
Now that the Chinese army has arrived, Hariwan also directly ordered the soldiers to board the city and prepare for battle.
The Kushan soldiers glanced at the sky, and after completing the prayer ceremony, they climbed onto the city wall one after another.
"The archers suppressed the enemy's troops approaching the city, while the remaining soldiers accelerated and pushed the chariots to the edge of the city."
Although it was not the main force, Zang Ba still commanded from under the city wall.
The archers on the carriages bent their bows and nocked arrows one after another, and rained arrows on the city wall. At the same time, the warriors pushing the carriages also seized the time to move the carriages forward and approach the city wall.
"The archers fired their arrows and were the first to suppress the archers on the enemy's carriage."
It's still the same routine. The Kushan people's priority is to attack the archers on the carriages. At the same time, the soldiers are equipped with swords and shields, ready for hand-to-hand combat.
"Place the tie-board."
When the truck came forward, Zang Ba gave the order to put down the planks and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
The planks hit the city wall one after another, and the soldiers who were already ready shouted loudly, jumped up on the city wall and began to attack the enemy.
"kill."
The Kushan troops, who had been prepared for a long time, also roared and charged forward, fighting together with the Chinese soldiers.
The two sides began a bloody battle on the city wall. Facing the Kushan army that was coming like a tidal wave, even though they fought with all their strength, they were still unable to resist the opponent's offensive and were directly suppressed and unable to get out of the building.
Politra looked at the battle situation in front of him and his brows could not help but knitted together.
"What's wrong General?"
Seeing Politra frowning, the guards around him couldn't help but be startled.
"Don't you feel that the Chinese army is a little different this time?"
After looking at the personal guards, Politra directly expressed his doubts.
"There is nothing different. If there is anything, it is that the Chinese army this time is a bit weak. Yesterday's Chinese army was able to hold on even though there were far fewer soldiers than us, and they fought back and forth with us.
It’s even said that it can be expanded forward.”
After hearing Politra's question, the guard thought for a moment and gave his own answer.
"That's it. Why do you think the Chinese soldiers are in such a situation? It is impossible for the two armies to release water in a battle. Why?"
This is what Politra is confused about, why does the opponent reduce the offensive intensity of the soldiers, and what's the trick in the process.
The unknown is the scariest thing. If you can't guess the Chinese people's next move, you are likely to suffer huge losses.
"Is it possible that the Chinese did not send the main force this time, and wanted to use miscellaneous soldiers to attract our attention, and when the army is fighting, they will use trebuchets to shoot the soldiers on our city walls in a wide range."
The personal guard glanced at the battle on the city wall, couldn't help but frowned, and then expressed his inner thoughts.
"It's very possible. Instruct the rear row of troops to retreat temporarily, and at the same time prepare straw shields to be on guard immediately if the enemy launches a trebuchet."
