Chapter 1,458 The whole army is dispatched
Now that Harrivan has set the tone, the rest of the group has nothing to say. All they can do now is take a gamble.
"Okay, the whole army will rest temporarily for two days. We will set off in two days. We will attack the enemy's military camp outside the city first. After defeating them, we will immediately go south to attack the enemy's water stronghold on the edge of the Ganges River and cut off their supply lines."
Hariwan stood up directly and expressed his decision.
"General, Captain Zhou Zhou is back with his scouts."
The Kushan army over there was ready for battle, and the Chinese scouts here also returned to the military camp.
"Zhou Zhou, you didn't snipe the enemy scouts outside, what will happen when you come back now?"
Zang Ba glanced at Zhou Zhou in front of him and didn't understand what was happening now that he was back.
"General, the enemy's scouts should return to the city of Heldvar. The enemy's cavalry is dispatched. I have seen something bad, so I can only lead the cavalry back."
Zhou Zhou directly told the current situation. The enemy cavalry had been dispatched on a large scale. He had no choice but to lead his men back.
"You mean that the enemy has discovered the traces of General Ma Chao heading north, so he dared to dispatch cavalry to suppress us?"
Hearing Zhou Zhou's words, Zang Ba also showed a hint of excitement in his eyes. If he goes by what he said, it can be said that the Kushan people have been fooled.
"This should be the case. The specific reason is up to the general to judge."
Zhou Zhou didn't dare to say anything about Zang Ba's thoughts. It was up to him to decide what to do.
"Go and notify General Gao Shun immediately."
"promise,"
Soon Gao Shun, who was sleeping, was summoned and came to the big tent to meet Zang Ba.
"What's wrong?"
Gao Shun looked at Zang Ba and Zhou Zhou in the tent and couldn't help but be stunned.
"The military advisor's arrangement may have taken effect, and the Kushan Army has taken the bait."
Zang Ba didn't say anything and directly analyzed the current situation to Gao Shun.
"oh?
So fast?
I originally thought that the other party would still hesitate for a few days, and I was still thinking about how to give the other party a loophole."
Hearing Zang Ba's words, Gao Shun's eyebrows also showed a hint of joy. Originally, he was afraid that the Kushan people would be frightened by him and not dare to send troops, but now he suddenly understood?
"Well, the enemy's scouts returned to the city, and then their cavalry dispatched directly. Zhou Zhou had no choice but to wait for the scouts to return. If the enemy had not discovered General Ma Chao's arrangement in the north, it would have been impossible and dare not dispatch his own cavalry on a large scale.
cavalry."
Zang Ba nodded.
"That's it. Now we just need to discuss the next troop withdrawal, because the other side will definitely send troops to attack us within two or three days."
Gao Shun thought for a while and then looked outside. If the enemy really fell into Jia Xu's trap, they would definitely attack him in a short time.
"Well, the enemy's dispatch of troops is the last confirmation. What can we do to make the other party completely believe that the army has moved north and that we are just suspicious troops here. This is the most critical thing."
Zang Ba looked at Gao Shun in front of him. This would be their last performance. If they performed well, the Kushan army would basically be doomed to defeat. If the performance failed, the other party would probably react. When the time comes,
Everything done in the early stage was in vain.
"In this way, let those militia groups and new soldiers evacuate temporarily, and only the main force will be left in the camp. In this way, even if the enemy army comes to kill us, we will not suffer too much loss even if we want to retreat with only the main force left. And in this case
It will also appear more realistic and will not make Kushan people suspicious."
Gao Shun looked at the map in front of him, then at Zang Ba, and made his decision clear.
"Well, your plan is very good. Then do as you say. Let the militia and new soldiers evacuate immediately and march to the north. Wait until the enemy has completely left and then go back to General Xu Huang. How can he be responsible for attacking the city?
The important task should require the use of these soldiers and horses."
Zang Ba nodded. The current situation is like this. These soldiers and horses must not just go south to the water village. It is impossible to cover up the traces. But if they go north, the other party can only be more convinced that their main force has already
Went north.
"Okay, let's take action."
Gao Shun made the decision directly, and the army began to divide its troops according to the two men's plan. The militia group left the camp with the new soldiers and headed north, while the main force was ready to go, preparing to welcome the arrival of the Kushan Army.
Time passed little by little, and the Kushan and Chinese armies were standing still and gathering strength. The sun just rose two days later, and Hariwan and the soldiers and horses in the city were also ready.
"The battle that will determine the fate of Kushan is about to begin. The Chinese army outside the city is just an empty shell. As long as it can defeat the opponent and go south to cut off the Chinese supply line, the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops will completely collapse and you will all become
Heroes of the Kushan Empire, tell me, are you ready?"
Hariwan swept across the Kushan army in front of him on his horse. This was all his strength. If he could not defeat the Chinese army, they would all be doomed.
"Ready."
"Ready."
"Ready."
The Kushan army also shouted together. After being suppressed and beaten by the Chinese for so long, it was finally their turn to stand up. How could they not fight the opponent now?
"Okay, then I won't say anything more. I wish you all in advance to become Kushan heroes. When you return in triumph, I will reward the three armies and congratulate you for seven days."
Hariwan directly drew the long sword from his waist. Needless to say, it all depends on the lives of his soldiers.
"Set off."
The city gate of Heldvar opened, and Hariwan took the lead, riding his horse forward, stepping directly out of the gate and heading towards the Chinese camp.
The more than 100,000 Kushan troops were like tigers descending the mountain, following Hariwan and killing them like an overwhelming mountain.
"General, the Kushan army has left the city and is coming towards us."
The Kushan army left the city, and the scouts outside Heldvar immediately returned to the camp to report the situation.
"Haha, here we come, General Zang Ba, it's time for us to take action. Do you think we should fight and then leave, or should we leave now and withdraw directly?"
Hearing that the Kushan army was leaving the city, Gao Shun also smiled slightly. He had indeed been suffering from waiting for the past two days, and now the enemy is finally here.
"After all, we still have to fight, otherwise if we retreat now, we won't be able to show our intentions."
Zang Ba also smiled slightly. If they didn't fight, it would probably make the Kushan people doubtful.
"Then let's have a fight. We can't let the Kushan people look down on us, and let them know how powerful our Chinese soldiers are."
Gao Shun nodded, Zang Ba was right, just fight once, do the whole act, and everything will be fine even if you tremble in the end.
"Instruct the soldiers immediately to make arrangements to prepare for battle."
The military order was issued, and the remaining enemy troops and Xuzhou Army were all ready to prepare for the arrival of the Kushan Army.
Time moved forward little by little, and Hariwan led the Kushan army directly to the outside of Huaxia without stopping.
"Blow the trumpet and prepare to attack the camp."
Looking at the Chinese camp in front of him, Hariwan directly ordered the entire army to prepare and attack the camp.
More than 100,000 Guishuang troops formed a formation and launched an attack directly towards the Huaxia camp like a surging river.
"Fire the arrow."
The Chinese army in the camp had been prepared for a long time. When they saw the Kushan army attacking, the soldiers bent their bows and arrows and rained arrows outside the camp.
"Raise your shield and attack with force."
The Kushan army was also well prepared. Shields were instantly placed in front of the army, resisting the rain of arrows while continuing to attack the Huaxia military camp.
The battle became intense from the beginning. The Kushan army rushed to the edge of the Huaxia camp despite suffering huge casualties. The battering ram protected by the soldiers also came into use.
"Charge the camp and drive them away for me."
The centurion in charge directly ordered the battering ram to hit the camp.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
The battering ram hit the Chinese army's camp wall one after another, and after a while, a big hole was knocked out of the wall.
