Chapter 919 Night Attack(1/2)
The Parthian soldiers launched three attacks today, putting great pressure on the Xiakou army for the first time, and retreated after the general suffered heavy losses.
The second and three attacks made Parthian general Mohammad extremely angry. He fled back within a short time of the attack.
Thousands of soldiers were lost.
According to the soldiers who escaped, the Lysians had a new weapon in their hands, which was so powerful that they could not withstand it.
General Mohamed was extremely depressed.
One person said it was a lie, two people, three people... countless soldiers felt fear in their hearts, and they all told the same thing.
"General Mohamed, the weapons that the Lysians brought out today are indeed very frightening and extremely lethal.
Especially in terms of speed, not to mention dodging, even the eyes cannot keep up and cannot dodge. We must let the spies in Mulu City figure it out.
What is the new weapon of the Lysians, its performance, advantages and disadvantages, so that we can attack, otherwise, we will blindly attack the city.
It will only cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers of our Parthian Empire. I humbly suggest that we should not launch any more attacks until we understand the truth of the matter."
A Xi'an general said.
General Mohammed nodded slightly.
"Immediately send information to the spies in the city, so that the spies must figure out what the Lysian's new weapon is as soon as possible?"
Mohamed said.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
"Varys, since the Lysians have such amazingly powerful weapons, why don't they go out of the city to fight us?"
Mohamed asked.
"General Mohamed, I can't figure out the reason for this. However, according to my guess,
First, that weapon has shortcomings and is not suitable for field combat. Second, that weapon has just been supplied to Mulu City.
The Lysian soldiers were still unfamiliar with the new weapons and were not very skilled. Thirdly, the Lysian soldiers did not have many such weapons.
I learned from the soldiers who escaped that there were not many Lys soldiers on the city wall holding that kind of weapon."
Wallis said.
Mohammad thought about it and felt that Wallis's analysis was correct. If the Lysians had the ability to defeat the Parthian Empire army, they would have dispatched it long ago and would not have allowed the Parthian army to attack Mulu City day and night.
"General Mohamed, I humbly suggest that before the situation is clear, we cannot attack the city again at night to avoid excessive casualties among our soldiers."
Wallis said.
"Okay! Let the soldiers have a good rest tonight. However, we must arrange for soldiers to be on duty at night, and set up open and covert sentries to be careful of sneak attacks by the Lysians."
Mohamed said.
Hahaha!
"General Mohammad, you are worrying too much. If the Lysians were capable, would they allow our Parthian army to attack the city for so long?"
Wallis said.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Come in."
Mohamed said.
"Report to the general, according to the logistics support department, our army is experiencing difficulties with food and grass, and it can only last for five days?"
Send orders to soldiers.
"what happened?"
Mohamed asked.
"General, there have been heavy rains in the past few days, and there are problems with the roads. I heard that several road sections were washed away by floods. It will be impossible to build bridges at once, and it will be delayed for about ten days."
Send orders to soldiers.
Mohamed became anxious.
What a joke!
The army lacks food and grass, which will cause soldiers to mutiny.
"Immediately send logistics support troops to repair the bridge, and be sure to deliver large/military supplies within five days, otherwise, military law will be imposed."
Mohamed said.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
"In addition, the news that the army is short of food and grass cannot be leaked. Once leaked, our situation will be very bad."
Mohamed said.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
…
Mulu City Main Mansion:
"Military Advisor Xiaozhi, we have sent soldiers to monitor the relevant suspects in the city. As long as there is any abnormal movement, we will
Arrest them immediately. Besides, we have already controlled all four city gates, so it will not be easy to send out information."
Ma Teng said.
Fazheng nodded.
"General Zilong, the city walls are manned by gunners. Even though our infantry division has suffered heavy losses, we still have almost five thousand soldiers who can go into battle. We will operate at night. I humbly ask the infantry division to follow behind."
On the forbidden road.
"General Yu, this is no problem. The infantry will be delayed for two seconds until the cavalry division has put down the empire's heavy infantry. After the cavalry is dealt with, the infantry division can take over the battlefield."
Zhao Yundao.
Yu Jin frowned slightly.
Doesn't this allow the infantry to clean the battlefield?
"General Zhao, our infantry division has combat effectiveness, so don't worry."
On the forbidden road.
"General Yu, I humbly listen to what General Ma said. In the past twenty days, the infantry division has sacrificed too much. The Anxi Army's main attack direction is the west city gate.
If it hadn't been for your infantry division to take charge, the city would have fallen long ago, and there would have been heavy casualties. We have to leave a fire for the infantry division."
Zhao Yundao.
Yu Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"General Zhao, it seems that the Anxi army will not attack the city again tonight, otherwise, the siege would have started long ago."
Ma Teng said.
"After being frightened by the gunmen during the day, the Parthian Army will not launch a major offensive until we understand the situation."
Righteous Dharma.
"The Parthian army stopped attacking the city, creating conditions for our Xiakou Cavalry Division to sneak attack at night without first annihilating the Parthian troops attacking the city.
We will send out scouts when the night is quieter and clear out the overt and covert outposts of the Parthian Empire/Military State one by one without affecting the actions of the cavalry division."
Zhao Yundao.
Ten minutes past midnight:
The gate of Mulu City slowly opened, and a man in black rode a horse out of the city quickly without causing any movement.
The horse's legs are wrapped in cloth and the horse's mouth is caged.
The black war horse, paired with the black night clothes, the war horse and the knight blend into the night, making it impossible to spot them without paying attention.
Swish, brush, brush!
The men in black jumped off their horses one after another and started hunting in the night.
Hidden sentries were set up by Parthians one by one, and the open sentries were quietly killed by the scouts. The whole process was as gentle as ghosts.
Within an hour, all the hidden sentries set up by the Parthians were cleared.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the cavalry division in Mulu City took action. Nearly 60,000 cavalry, plus 15,000 cavalry under Ma Teng's tent, silently left the city gate and charged towards the Anxi Army barracks.
When we reached the entrance of the Parthian barracks, the entire barracks was quiet. Most of the Parthian soldiers were asleep, and even the soldiers on duty were leaning on the wooden railings to sleep.
Too sleepy!
It was going to be dawn soon, which is the best time for human beings to sleep. In addition, during this period, the Parthian army attacked the city day and night, and the soldiers were exhausted.
To be continued...
