Politra nodded. What the guards said was very possible. If the Chinese really thought so, then their own soldiers on the city wall would suffer huge losses.
"yes."
Soon Politra's order spread on the city wall. The Kushan army, which was still attacking fiercely, immediately slowed down its pace. The rear soldiers temporarily left the city. The rest also prepared grass shields. As long as the Chinese
If you dare to use trebuchets to attack, they will immediately raise their shields to defend.
The Kushan Army slowed down its advance, which also gave the militia and Kushan recruits a chance. They began to rely on the bridgehead of Louche to fight fiercely with the Kushan Army.
"Why did the enemy suddenly slow down their attack?"
Zang Ba couldn't help but frown while watching the battle above the city wall. What did the other party mean?
I threw a bunch of weaklings at you, but you ended up in such a horrible state. It really refreshed my imagination.
"I don't know. The enemy attacked very strongly at first, but suddenly it became like this. Who knows what they want to do?"
Hearing Zang Ba's words, the guards around him also frowned.
"The other side may want to rely on the soldiers on the city wall to fight against us, and let us continue to send soldiers on the city wall to consume the strength of our subordinates."
Based on the current situation, Zang Ba can only come to the conclusion from his own perspective that the enemy wants to consume his resources on the city wall.
"What should we do if that's the case?"
The personal guard glanced at Zang Ba. If the other party really thought so, it would definitely be something that China did not want to happen.
"what to do?
We absolutely cannot give the enemy such an opportunity, so go immediately and report the situation here to the military advisor. I am going to pay the money to withdraw the troops and see what the military advisor means."
Since he had guessed what the other party meant, Zang Ba would definitely not be able to give the other party this opportunity.
"promise."
The soldiers galloped on their horses and ran directly towards the Chinese army.
"Military advisor, General Zang Ba's men are here."
Xu Huang came to Jia Xu's side.
"Let someone come over and see what's going on?"
When he heard that it was Zang Ba's people coming, Jia Xu was also stunned, wondering what was happening on the front line.
"Military advisor, there is something fishy about the Kushan army on the city wall. They attacked very strongly at the beginning, but just when our soldiers were about to be defeated, they slowed down their attack.
General Zang Ba speculated that the enemy might want to rely on the city wall to consume our soldiers, so he decided to withdraw his troops now, not giving the opponent a chance to fight attrition, and let the military advisor make a decision."
The personal guard immediately expressed Zang Ba's intention. In the current situation, Jia Xu needed to make a decision to withdraw his troops. Otherwise, he would definitely be blamed by the other party if he retreated rashly.
"The enemy wants to fight for their strength and agrees with Zang Ba's wishes. Originally, we were going to put on a show today, but now that the show is almost over, we cannot allow our soldiers to do more damage, so we must withdraw our troops."
Now that Zang Ba has analyzed the other party's intention, there is nothing more to say. The play is almost done and can be withdrawn.
"promise."
The personal guards clasped their fists at Jia Xu, left the Chinese army directly, and returned to Zang Ba's forward.
"If the military advisor has an order, you can withdraw your troops with money."
The personal guards returned to Zang Ba with Jia Xu's orders.
"Okay, Ming Jin withdraws his troops and retreats. At the same time, let the trebuchet troops prepare. As soon as our soldiers retreat, we will immediately shoot the city wall with shotguns."
Hearing that Jia Xu agreed with his idea, Zang Ba directly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and at the same time asked the trebuchet to prepare to inflict maximum damage on the enemy whenever there was an opportunity.
"promise."
"Dang-dang-dang-dang."
The sound of Mingjin was sounded instantly. When the Chinese soldiers who were fighting fiercely on the city wall heard this sound, they also breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to retreat backward through the building and carriages.
"The enemy has retreated, and the Chinese have retreated."
Seeing the Chinese people begin to retreat, the Kushan people immediately thought of yesterday's situation and looked behind them with wide eyes.
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly."
Politra also saw the current situation. The Chinese retreated, and the next step was to attack the city with trebuchets.
"Retreat quickly, the general has ordered us to retreat."
Upon hearing Politra's order, the Kushan troops on the city wall also reacted instantly. They all started to retreat toward the bottom of the city wall using their hands and feet as if they had been driven away by wolves.
A ridiculous scene appeared on the city wall, with both the enemy and ourselves desperately retreating.
"What should I do?"
Wu Yu, who was observing the battlefield in the distance, was speechless for a while. The other party's reaction was too fast. How could he survive?
What to do with the trebuchet that was ready so early?
"Captain, are you still firing the trebuchet?"
A soldier glanced at the captain, his eyes full of confusion.
"Let's wait and see what happens. If there is no chance, why should we let it go?"
Wu Yu shook his head and signaled the soldiers to prepare for battle. If there is a chance, attack directly. If there is no chance, forget it.
"promise."
As time went by, both sides also completed the withdrawal of troops. The city wall, which was still bustling with people, instantly became much quieter, as if a strong wind had passed through. Except for the wounded and corpses, there was nothing left.
"The entire army retreats."
Seeing the end of the previous battle, Jia Xu directly ordered the army to return, leaving only the scarred city of Heldvar.
"promise."
Today's battle started and ended hastily, and the Kushan people were a little confused.
"The enemy has withdrawn?"
Harrivan glanced at Politra on the city wall and couldn't help but have questions in his head.
"Well, the enemy has withdrawn."
Politra nodded. Although he fought this battle in a fog, it was an indisputable fact that the Chinese retreated.
"What happened this time?"
Although Hariwan did not supervise the battle on the city wall, he knew that there must be something fishy going on because the battle ended so quickly.
"I don't know, the Chinese people's hearts don't seem to be in the city. The soldiers who came up this time are completely different from the ones yesterday. I guess the other side must want to use miscellaneous soldiers to attract our attention, and wait until the soldiers are ready to enter the city.
The trebuchet attack cost us many troops, but now it seems there is a way out as I thought."
Politra shook his head. To be honest, the Chinese people's actions this time really made him a little confused. If the other party really wanted to use miscellaneous soldiers in exchange for his main force, it would be impossible for them to withdraw their troops before they were launched. He was really speechless.
"There must be something going on here. Let's go back and discuss it carefully."
At this time, Hariwan also frowned. The Chinese people have always been cunning and cautious in using their troops. It is impossible for such a mistake to happen. If it is not a mistake, it means that the Chinese people have something going on that they do not know about. Once
If you succeed, you may be in danger.
"yes."
The two of them returned to General Hariwan's residence together, looked at the map of Kanyu in front of them, and began to discuss each other's ideas.
However, after much deliberation, the two of them failed to guess the Chinese side's wishes in the end. In the end, they could only accept their fate and wait for the other side to take action to resolve the issue themselves.
That night, Jia Xu's instructions were implemented. The soldiers and horses who had received the mission took advantage of the darkness and began to move toward the north and south. Only Zang Ba and Gao Shun were still acting under the city of Heldvar.
"How's it going? Are you still going to attack today?"
Zang Ba glanced at Gao Shun in front of him. The army had all left and they were the only ones left. What should we do next?
"If we want to put on a full show, we cannot give up the attack now. Even if we only have so many people, we must create a plan to suppress the situation with a large army. It is most appropriate for the opponent to discover that our main force has left during the battle."
Gao Shun thought for a moment, the current situation is like this, the army will leave now, if they don't send troops, it will make the other party suspicious.
"I don't think this is advisable."
Although what Gao Shun said made sense, Zang Ba had a different opinion.
"If you have any suggestions, please tell me."
Since Zang Ba must have a reason for what he said, now that it's just the two of them, everything must be discussed.
"I don't think we can attack now. The army has been attacking for two days. It doesn't hurt to take a rest today. If we really go to attack the city now, the other party will be a little suspicious if they see it. We need to do it step by step and rest for a day or two before attacking. This way
It’s more reasonable.”
Zang Ba thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts.
"What you said is not unreasonable. Let's take a two-day break, but the scouts must be sent out. When the enemy sees that we have not sent out troops, they will definitely send out scouts to investigate the situation. Don't give them a chance. If we can delay it, we will count it as a day."
Glancing at Zang Ba, he saw that what the other party said was very good. Now that he was resting, the other party would definitely be suspicious. However, as long as he took down the other party's scouts, they would not be able to find out his situation in a short time.
If you reveal some flaws, as long as the other party is not stupid, you should be able to understand the situation.
"Well, let's do this. Hang up the battle-free card and send out scouts to patrol the city of Heldvar. Don't let any of the enemy's scouts go."
Zang Ba nodded and directly conveyed the orders of the two men to the army. The Chinese army that was originally preparing to attack were all on standby in the city. At the same time, all the scouts came out and began patrolling outside Heldvar City, not letting anyone go.
an enemy.
The Kushan army was preparing for war with all its strength, but did not notice the Chinese attack.
"The Chinese army did not attack today?"
Looking at the sun in the sky, Hariwan was also stunned. What was going on with the Chinese army? Something was wrong.
"No trace of the Chinese army has been found yet."
Politra shook his head at Harrivan. He also felt that there was something wrong. The Chinese did not attack, which was a bit abnormal.
"Immediately send out scouts to see what's going on with the Chinese people. It's good that they came to attack, but now that they're like this, I feel a little unsure."
Hariwan frowned. To be honest, the Chinese tactics really frightened him. Once the enemy changed their formation, he would be in trouble. If he couldn't find the opponent's heel, he would really be unable to sleep at night.
"yes."
Soon Politra organized hundreds of scouts, opened the city gate and ran towards the Chinese camp.
"The enemy's scouts are out, ready to hunt."
Seeing the scouts from Heldvar City appearing, the Chinese scouts who had been ambushing outside the city immediately took action and began to strangle the Kushan Empire's scouts.
In the huge wilderness, the Kushan scouts and the Chinese scouts started a fierce battle. The Kushan scouts, who were already beaten, faced the Chinese scouts who were more numerous, more prepared, and more elite than themselves. They were directly defeated.
He was beaten all over and suffered heavy losses.
In the end, they were unable to break through the Chinese army's obstruction, and had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment, back to the city of Heldvar.
"General, the Chinese scouts were too fierce. As soon as our people rushed out of the city, they were strangled by the enemy. Even if the soldiers tried their best, they could not resist it and had to withdraw."
