At this moment, Raftel also realized that he was still at home even if it was snowing heavily. Whether he was collecting cotton-padded clothes or using other methods to keep warm, he would not let the army freeze. But the Chinese people were different.
They have a large number of soldiers and horses, close to one million. Such a base is simply too large. It is simply impossible to collect cotton-padded clothes locally, so they can only transport them from the mainland of China.
China is too far away from Kushan, separated by the entire Western Region, and as the temperature drops and snow falls, it will become more difficult for them to transport grain, grass and other things.
If they can hold on, then China will inevitably withdraw its troops, which will give Kushan an absolute chance to breathe.
"Yes, I think so too."
Vesudeva I was very happy that his generals agreed with him. If this is the case, it is really God’s blessing to Kushan.
"Your Majesty, we think so, what do you think the Chinese people think now?"
Although Vesuthiva I and Raftel both thought that snow would be a great advantage to them, what would the Chinese do if they realized this situation?
This is something you need to consider.
"You mean if the Chinese knew it was going to snow, they might attack the city at all costs?"
Vesutiva I also heard what Mifulet meant, which was to be wary of the other party.
"Your Majesty, I think what General Mifret said is very reasonable. If the Chinese people know about it, they will definitely attack the city at all costs. And they will definitely not wait until tomorrow. There is no way they will launch an attack tonight. We
We need to spread this situation to cheer up the soldiers, and we must not allow the Chinese to take advantage of the loophole and sneak attack the city wall."
Batum also stood up at this time. He had just been awarded the title of Jiayong Bo and was now regarded as a little celebrity of Vesudev I.
mb, you have said everything I want to say, so I have nothing to hesitate about letting you die.
Raftel: If there is a way to heaven and you don’t take it, and there is no way to hell, you will fall into it yourself, so don’t blame me for not giving you a way to survive.
"Your Majesty, I think what Jiayongbo said is very reasonable. We must guard against sneak attacks by the Chinese. Jiayongbo is brave and resourceful and is the pillar of the country. I believe that with him in charge of the defense of the city wall, it will be absolutely foolproof. I suggest that tonight
Jiayongbo will be responsible for defending the city, and we will provide support below the city, and we will be able to do so."
A smile appeared on Raftel's lips, and he stepped out to salute Vesudeva I.
"Your Majesty, I also think that Jiayong Bo is both wise and brave. He is responsible for the defense of the city wall. Mifulet is very relieved."
Seeing that Rafter had already fired, Mifret, who was responsible for providing support, also spoke directly and must push Batum to the front line.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Jiayong Bo, what do you think? I believe you will never refuse such an opportunity to fight for the country."
Since Raftel and Mifulet both recommended Batum, Vesutiva I had nothing to say and directly focused on him.
Batum: nmb, you two bastards, everyone knows that if you go to guard the city wall now, you will definitely be bathing in hell. If you stay there accidentally, you still recommend me to defend the city. It must be because of my wisdom and bravery.
Shuangquan is so jealous that he wants to get rid of himself.
"General Batum, what is your Majesty asking you?
Why, don’t you want to?”
Seeing Batum in a daze, Raftel directly spoke to him with a sinister smile.
"Batum is willing to dedicate everything to the empire, and I hope that your majesty will let me be responsible for guarding the city wall. As long as Batum is here, the Chinese will never be allowed to cross the city of Gambilas."
Batum knew that he could no longer pretend to be stupid and stunned. Now he was already riding a tiger. If he refused, he might be killed on the spot for disobeying the emperor's order. Rather than doing this, he might as well accept this task. With luck, he
Maybe he can block the Chinese attack and become famous because of it.
"Well, I know Jiayongbo will not let me down. Mifulet, you should assign the task of guarding the city wall to Jiayongbo now. As for the others, they must fully support it and ensure that Gambilas City
safety.”
Vesudeva I stood up directly and looked at the officers below. Whether the empire can continue depends on whether they can persist after the heavy snowfall.
"Willing to serve the empire to the death."
"Willing to serve the empire to the death."
"Willing to serve the empire to the death."
All the officers stood up and saluted Vesudeva I, their eyes full of solemnity. Only Batum was as scared as if he had eaten a dead fly for the coming battle.
All the generals left, except for Batum, who walked aimlessly towards his residence with a sad face.
"Jia Yongbo, you are going in the wrong direction. Didn't you say that the Chinese will launch an attack at night? The place you should go to now is the city wall, marshal your troops and horses, and wait for the Chinese to attack, instead of going to your residence to rest."
Raftel looked at the lost Batum, smiled directly, and indicated that the direction he should go now was the city wall.
"Thank you, General Raftel, for reminding me, it's Batum Province."
After hearing Raftel's words, Batum realized that he was now the garrison officer of the city wall, and he should be responsible for the defense of the city wall now.
"General Raftel, look at him, are we being a little too cruel to him?"
Mifret came to Raftel's side, looked at Batum's heavy footsteps, and spoke to him.
"Does General Mifflet want to explain to His Majesty that Batum will be removed from his position?"
Raftel glanced at Mifret.
You were one of the promoters in the hall just now, but now you say it's too cruel. You have to be a bitch and have to set up a memorial arch. If you don't obey others, you will only obey you, Mifret.
"I mean it's a bit too cruel to let him walk over. Akama, drive Jiayongbo a ride. You must take Jiayongbo to the city wall as quickly as possible."
Rafter:.
Soon a carriage passed by them and came directly in front of Batum.
After glancing at the carriage, Batum glanced at Raftel and Mifulet behind him.
The two also saw Batum's gaze, looked at each other, and waved to him together.
"Why."
Batum let out a long sigh, and for the first time he regretted being in the limelight, but now he had no chance to regret, so he could only get on the carriage and run towards the city wall.
The Kushan army was like a giant beast that had been awakened. One by one, the soldiers were pulled out of their beds, put on their clothes and armor, left the camp, and headed towards the city wall.
"General."
"General."
"General."
Seeing Batum ascending the city wall, all the sergeants saluted him. They had received the emperor's order a long time ago and knew that he would take over the defense of the city wall from Mifulet.
"Okay, now that this general is here, everyone must prepare for the war with all their strength and cheer up. We must not let the Chinese take advantage of us. As long as we are still here, the city wall must not be lost. Do you understand?"
Batum stood on the city wall, feeling the cold wind blowing from all directions, his eyes full of confusion.
Although he is also an imperial general, he is just an ordinary general. He has never commanded an army on his own, let alone a city defense battle where he is at a disadvantage. The only thing he can do now is to improve morale and let people fight.
Everyone can cheer up and fight with all their strength.
"yes."
"yes."
"yes."
All the sergeants felt helpless when they heard Batum's words. Who wouldn't say such nonsense? What they need now is a way to deal with the Chinese trebuchet, not such unnecessary nonsense.
"Send the order and send out a patrol team to inspect the city wall. I will not allow anyone to take a nap on the city wall. Once discovered, military law will be dealt with."
Batum felt a twinge of pain when he saw everyone's appearance. After sending out the patrol team, he went directly into the hiding cave under the city. He had to think carefully about how he could save his life in the coming battle.
"Your Majesty, it's the third watch."
While the Kushan army was preparing, Tian Feng came to Yuan Shu's side.
"It's already midnight?
Are all the generals ready?"
Hearing that it was already midnight, Yuan Shu also withdrew his gaze from Gambilas.
"All the ministries are ready. The Polu Army and the Guards as the vanguard have all put on their armor and are just waiting for His Majesty's order."
Tian Feng saluted Yuan Shu and told all the preparations for the battle.
"Then let's start the attack. We must capture the city of Gambilas before it snows."
Now that everything was ready, Yuan Shu had nothing to say and directly ordered the entire army to attack, striving to capture the city of Gambilas as quickly as possible.
"promise."
"Your Majesty has given an order to attack with the whole army. The Nightmare trebuchets will go first, and the other trebuchets will be responsible for supporting the attack. The chariots will move forward and the drums will beat."
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
Continuous war drums beat instantly, like thunder in the dull night, instantly filling the entire night sky.
