God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Looking at Lidas and listening to his report and description, Sakarala gripped his knife tightly. Gazing at the First Fortress standing between the mountains in the distance, he was caught in a dilemma.

The first fortress had been in Kushan hands for half a year.

The roads along the routes to each fortress were repaired and improved, and the original fortress was naturally also repaired and improved.

The Han army's existing structures were further expanded and reinforced, enhancing their defensive capabilities and terrain advantages.

However, this advantage is not bidirectional, but mainly targeted at the East.

Being located in the west, they would not be foolish enough to increase the defenses of the west in the face of the Han Empire's attack.

Even dismantling Western defenses to strengthen Eastern defenses is a feasible and feasible measure.

However, since it was the primary stronghold, they didn't do that openly.

However, in reality, the construction workers had already completed similar defensive works long ago.

The height and thickness of the eastern city walls were increased, while the height and thickness of the western city walls were altered to some extent, including their structure.

Under this special structure, if Saqqara so desires, it can directly attack the special structural nodes on the western city wall, directly dismantling the city wall in that area and causing that section of the city wall to collapse.

Once the city walls collapse, they can no longer serve as a defensive measure. In fact, the broken bricks and stones will further damage the terrain of the area, making it resemble a messy, rocky hillside, thus reducing the opponent's organizational capacity.

In this unique terrain, the Kshatriya warrior legion under Saqqara can unleash even greater combat power.

The Kshatriya warrior legion, possessing supernatural powers, is terrifyingly strong in this near-chaotic environment.

Even if the opponent is heavily armed infantry, the win rate is still quite high.

“If we dismantle the city walls, the enemy will have no natural defenses to defend against. Our army has many soldiers and generals, so defeating them will not be difficult. Moreover, the eastern city walls are high and treacherous, so the enemy could not possibly leap down from them. The fortress entrances and exits are narrow, with a maximum width that allows only ten people to enter and exit at the same time. The enemy will not be able to retreat so quickly.” Seeing that Sakala was hesitant, Lidas further explained the differences in strengths and weaknesses between the enemy and our armies.

It can be said that once the city walls were demolished, the Han army inside the fortress would not be defending the strategic location, but rather fighting a desperate battle with their backs to the river.

Moreover, the not-so-large city gate served as a survival route and also demonstrated the principle of leaving a gap when besieging an enemy.

This further undermines the fighting spirit of the Han soldiers, reduces their morale, and minimizes obstacles and hindrances during their attack.

The Han army had already captured the eastern fortress, so they would not doubt the safety of this retreat route, and their mentality and will would be completely different.

When a routed army is attacked from both the east and the south by strongholds of the fortress, it is normal for the entire army to be wiped out.

When the outcome of this battle is revealed, its impact and implications will extend far beyond mere military considerations.

The political implications will be even more pronounced. The generals chosen by Yanomir and others are simply incapable of completing the assigned tasks; only Commander Rahul can accomplish them all.

From both a military and political perspective, we can achieve a resounding victory and change our current situation. So why should we hesitate at this time?
"This matter must be decided quickly, without delay or procrastination." Seeing that Sakala had not yet made a decision, Lidas's words were tinged with anxiety. If his own elite troops hadn't been absent, and the only elite force present was Sakala's own troops, Lidas wouldn't have kept trying to persuade him; he would have already led his troops straight in.

Although I don't really want to admit it, I have to acknowledge this point.

After a series of battles during the day, Lidas believed that he, with a group of regular soldiers, should not be able to take down the Han army troops inside the fortress.

Those tin-skinned turtles were indeed terrifyingly tough; without a certain level of combat ability, you couldn't even break through their defenses.

To annihilate the enemy, one must have a sufficiently elite vanguard to disrupt their coordination and organization, thus fully leveraging the advantage of having a large and numerous force.

Sakarala gave Lidas a deep look, but ultimately did not voice what was on his mind.

Based on this current arrangement and backup plan, the final result will most likely be exactly the same as what Lidas said.

It is actually advantageous not to expose this weakness of the fortress walls nowadays.

That is, after Commander Rahul and the Han army win their battle in the future, they can sweep through the Han army's fortresses again and achieve a swift and decisive victory.

Once the Han Empire's army is defeated, it will naturally retreat back to the fortress.

According to the previous deployment method of the Han Empire, the first fortress would inevitably have the largest number of troops and the strongest defense. Even if the fortress could not continue to hold out, it could retreat slowly and further delay the attacking side's attack time.

If that happens, how long will it take them to fight with all those fortresses?

By choosing to leave the weakness of the city walls until that time, they could break through the main defensive force of the Han army at an extremely fast speed and quickly attack the pass and break through the formation.

But that's all in the future.

Right now, the most important thing is this matter at hand.

If you can't even do these things well, what future do you have?
"It's still a pity." Sakala shook his head, made up his mind, and directly commanded, "Follow me, everyone! We will take this city today!"

Seeing the Saqqara Legion mobilize, Lidas's face was full of smiles. Without the slightest delay, he went directly to find the other legion commanders and began to coordinate the various legions to prepare for a new round of attacks, which was also the most deadly round.

To ensure the necessity and legitimacy of this offensive, Lidas still equipped his soldiers with various siege weapons, making it appear as if it were daytime.

However, these siege weapons were not actually used. They were only used to lure the Han Empire soldiers inside the fortress into misjudging the situation, making them believe that the Han Empire soldiers would attack from the top of the city wall, and thus they climbed up the city wall to defend it.

If the city wall is demolished under those circumstances, the collapsing wall will cause most of the Han soldiers on the wall to fall down.

The thicker the armor, the more severe the damage it causes when it falls.

This effect is far more effective than their attacks, and it is more likely to shock the Han army inside the fortress, strike at their morale, and determine the outcome of the war.

The Kushan army, whose every action was calculated, launched an unprecedented night siege under the moonlight. (End of Chapter)
