Chapter 217: Vice King Guishan's Abacus (Ask for Subscription!) )
"Whoo~Whew~~"
"I said, they retreated, did they retreat, it's going to be dark, do you still stop?"
When the hours-long siege lasted until dusk, the fat man sat on the ground with his back against the wall, his one-handed sword in his arms, and kept taking deep breaths.
Although after this battle, the fat man relied on the sword in his hand to kill a lot of Guishan foot soldiers, and the experience gained has made him upgrade to 2 levels in a row, but the perch, who has never seriously fought monsters and leveled since he entered the plane, is tired enough at this moment.
Similar to the fat man, Dumb was also tired and couldn't hold the blade in his hand, his body was covered with blood, and blood beads kept dripping down.
"Temporarily retreated, I don't know if I will attack at night."
Compared with the two, Mo Xiaobai was actually not much better, holding a spear in his right hand, staring at the Guishan heavy infantry below who were receding like a tide, and his eyes revealed a trace of solemnity.
The Kushan heavy infantry is indeed a commendable strong army.
Not to mention the advantage of being well-equipped, only relying on dozens of long ladders to launch a charge, in one afternoon, it brought more than two hundred casualties to the Han defenders.
Coupled with the more than 100 people who were wounded by archers, the battle losses of the Han army on the first day alone reached 300. In the face of this kind of high-intensity troop consumption, how could Mo Xiaobai underestimate his opponent.
Mo Xiaobai didn't directly expose his worries on his face, but Li Ji's eyes on the side were so vicious, and he spoke at the moment: "The lord is worried that the city is difficult to hold?" ”
"I have to worry, it's only the first day, we have already lost nearly a dozen of our troops, maybe in a few days, all of us will have to fight with wounds."
Listening to the worry in his lord's words, Li Ji looked very open, and even showed a smile on his face: "The lord is worried that the army will be damaged too much, why isn't this the case with Guishan soldiers and horses?" In the siege battle, 200 of our soldiers were wounded and more than 10 were killed; But the Kushan infantry alone has more than 800 dead soldiers, and there are no less than 1,000 wounded, and there are at least 2,000 casualties in today's battle, how many days can they survive such a consumption? ”
"Moreover, the Kushan army came from afar, and both cavalry and infantry came on horseback, and the baggage they carried was bound to be scarce. Even today, these ladders were probably built on the spot when they were close to the Green Ridge, not to mention the convoy that transported grain. How can we support the expedition of the army only by relying on war horses to carry a batch of military rations, we only need to hold on for a while, and the Kushan army will definitely change. ”
After a fierce battle during the day, Li Ji's judgment of the entire battle situation became clearer. The Kushan army is very capable of fighting, but as long as they grasp their weak underbelly, they can win this big battle.
And what Li Ji said, Mo Xiaobai didn't know it. But he still couldn't stand this kind of siege battle, and he felt uncomfortable watching his soldiers being carried off the city.
Compared with the siege battle, Mo Xiaobai prefers the battle like the previous battle against the water bandits, the kind of big victory that almost does not lose many soldiers.
Of course, Mo Xiaobai also knew that his idea was very unrealistic, shook his head and suppressed these chaotic thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Mao Gong, the monitoring of the Guishan army outside the city must not be relaxed, although we will not go out of the city to meet the enemy for the time being, and we will not be able to prevent them from leaving the Shache country, but at least we must know how many troops have crossed the border." After nightfall, you can check if the sentinels scattered outside the city are safe. ”
Li Ji nodded when he heard this, he knew the reason why Mo Xiaobai said this. As long as the main force of Guishan all rushes to Shule to find a decisive battle in Banchao, they can start planning to switch from defense to attack.
After all, his own lord can't hold back his passive defense.
………
Night.
Just when the bright moon was hanging in the air, the Kushan soldiers who had been besieging the city for a day finally set up a simple camp, and immediately ushered in a group of troops from the rear.
The leader who came here was the Guishan commander of this imperial war, Vice Wang Xie!
"Dilya, you led a vanguard of 10,000 people, but you can't capture a small Shache King City?"
Looking at the subordinate general standing in front of him with a ashamed face, the vice king, who was already over the age of confusion, had a grim face: "Because of your incompetence, your subordinates have lost two percent of their troops in front of the Han people." ”
"The Han people are proficient in defending the city, we are not well prepared, please punish the vice king." As the commander-in-chief of today's war, the commander and chief general of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, who is over 30 years old and still has a long beard, immediately clenched his fists and asked for punishment.
It is his responsibility to fight this battle like this, for whatever reason.
Hearing Dilya's request for punishment, Paca and Balu, who were originally standing next to them with a drooping face, immediately followed suit with their heads bowed and clenched their fists. The two of them are the true commanders of this battle, and they also have responsibilities that cannot be escaped.
At this moment, Afraid Ka and Balu have lost their fighting spirit, because the whole day of fighting has made the two of them realize the strength of the Han army.
Unlike the extreme characteristics of Guishan's individual soldiers, a single Han soldier may not pose any threat, but the cooperation of three or five Han soldiers, or the overall dispatch between hundreds of Han soldiers, these things that Guishan people can't play at all, the Han army can do it freely.
Several times, the Kushan heavy infantry rushed to the city with good luck and armor, but they were all strangled by several Han soldiers before they could stabilize themselves.
Having truly seen the power of the Han army's array, they have completely put aside their contempt for the Han army's soldiers at this moment.
His opponent is not as weak as he imagined.
"The war is coming, and I will keep your mistakes in mind first. From tomorrow onwards, you will continue to attack the city, I don't expect you to take this Shache King City, what you have to do is to keep this place in sight for me, and not allow the Han people in the city to run out and affect my decisive battle with Ban Chao. ”
Vice King Xie Neng sat in the position of Guishuang under one person and above ten thousand people, naturally he was not a mediocre person, he knew that it was useless to punish and abuse too much now, on the contrary, it was better to warn them, so that this group of people could serve him more attentively.
"In addition, we have come from afar, and we don't have much food with us, so you send three thousand cavalry to me to scatter and rob those people from the Western Regions, and get their food in hand, I can't let the soldiers go to the battlefield hungry."
"If this thing is not done well, when this war is over, the three of you will go back to Malakanda to raise horses, and you will never want to lead troops under me in this life."
Vice Wang Xie's abacus was very thoughtful, he thought that if he knocked the three of Dilia like this today, these guys would definitely carry out his orders seriously.
And in the face of the weakness of the Kushan army, the people of the Western Regions will definitely have a lot of gains wherever the three thousand cavalry go.
Not to mention food, even gold and beauty are not a problem.
It's just that this vice king, who has never set foot in the Han Dynasty before, doesn't know that he has to face the Western Regions after the transformation of Ban Chao, and at the same time, there are also Han players who have entered indiscriminately.
Even at this moment, he had just issued a military order, and the news of the meeting of the two Guishan armies had already reached the Shache King City through Hongyan.
