Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 77: The first level in the world

Not long after the two main divisions of the western military region of the empire entered the southern part of Terok, they were quickly involved in the flames of war. The Kaman army in the Jiama area, led by the Duke of Mailey, set off wave after wave of offensive climax, which made the garrison in the Terok Jiama area, which had been taken away from the two regiments to reinforce the Northeast Fanlin battlefield, suddenly stretched. Breakthrough, the second and third divisions of the Imperial Third Army, who originally planned to rest for a period of time, were forced to fight. Satisfying result.

On July 22, Kaman's garrison in the Jiama area began to withdraw, and gradually retreated to Jiama City to hold on. people.

Wearing a black cloak, Claudia rode his horse and galloped along the avenue, while ordering his subordinates to follow up quickly. The fast-moving troops under the night were like a long black dragon without a tail, marching towards the dark distance.

After the chief general of the Kaman garrison in Jiamacheng was quietly replaced by the veteran Simpson who was known as the persevering and indomitable from the empire, Duke Mailey, one of the pillars of the Kaman Empire's army, had quietly gathered to drive away from the country. A total of more than 70,000 people came from the Sixth Corps, and marched westward in the dark. At the same time, 50,000 of the most elite Royal Guards led by Claudia, with the cooperation of 70,000 from the Seventh Corps, have sneaked into Terok territory from the northern part of Jiama, and rushed to the ground along the southern foot of the Zagros Mountains. Jiayuguan, where the Zagros and Hindu Kush mountains meet.

In the middle of the night in July, the slopes at the edge of the foothills were still a bit cool, Claudia jumped up the hillside on his horse, followed by his deputy in this military operation-- -- Viscount Dominic, Commander of the Seventh Corps.

"Your Excellency the Marquis, do you really think that we can achieve success at such a high price?" Viscount Dominic is an orthodox soldier. With extraordinary and painful memories, almost every regiment has had a **** encounter under this famous pass. The Kaman soldiers who died under this pass over the years are enough to form more than three regiments.

Claudia can understand his worries and even fears. As the commander of the Seventh Corps, when Dominic was the deputy commander many years ago, the Seventh Corps that participated in the attack on Jiayuguan suffered heavy losses. The commander of the Seventh Corps, Earl Ratin, died on the spot. After so many years, Jiayuguan is still dominated here, but the commander of the Seventh Corps has been replaced by the deputy commander of the year.

Although Claudia is arrogant, he has a deep understanding of the steepness of Jiayuguan. Even with the support of nearly 200,000 troops, he can only say that he will do his best. A turning point is that they have an extremely important trump card in their hands. At a critical moment, this person will play a decisive role. Of course, this information is only known to a few people in the Kaman Empire, and even Viscount Dominic, who is his deputy, knows nothing about this trump card, so he has all kinds of concerns.

With a confident smile on his face, Claudia lowered his voice and said: "Your Excellency, Viscount, I assure you that we will truly have control of Jiayuguan in one month, and Jiayuguan will be our Kaman from now on. The most important level of the empire."

Dominic was very surprised by Claudia's self-confidence. He carefully looked at the steady coach in surprise. In his opinion, even if there is hope to capture Jiayuguan, it is only hope. He really couldn't believe that the coach dared to be so confident. He even wondered whether it was a mistake for the Prime Minister to appoint this tough young man in front of him. Self-confidence is good, but blind self-confidence will bring irreparable damage to the troops. Loss.

"Your Excellency, Viscount, I can understand your concerns. There are some episodes in the middle, please forgive me for not being able to explain to you now, but everything will be resolved when we win Jiayuguan." Claudia looked at the deputy's surprised expression Turning a blind eye, he shrugged helplessly in apology.

Jiayuguan is located in the northern border of the Tanghe Empire. The Zagros Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains stretch across the northern border of the empire. Separated, Jiayuguan is just on the lowland at the junction of the Zagros Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains. On both sides of it are majestic and steep mountains. The rest of the line goes all the way to the territory of the Czech Republic, and the remaining foot of the Hindu Kush Mountains in the west extends to the territory of Yinchuan Prefecture.

This is also the natural dividing line between the Heathrow Empire and the Kaman Empire. Going north out of Jiayuguan is a vast prairie. There is a small river ditch winding north. This small river ditch is called the Duck River. It is the territory of the Kaman Empire, and Hexi is naturally the territory of the Sithrow Empire. The remaining veins of the two mountains meet here to form a peculiar basin, the basin is very small, and Jiayuguan is built on this basin.

More than two hundred and fifty years ago, in order to prevent the nomadic barbarians on the grassland north of the mountains from harassing the imperial territory south of the mountains at that time, the then seventeenth emperor Situ Qian ordered to build a fortress here. The army was stationed to defend against the invasion of the Central Plains by the nomadic barbarians. After more than ten years of construction, the magnificent Jiayuguan Pass was finally completed. It is said that 200,000 civilians were used to build this grand pass, and it cost nearly 20 million empires. Gold coins, after the completion of the checkpoint, it is already the eighteenth emperor of the empire, Situ You. Situ You personally presided over the inauguration ceremony. This is the first time in the history of the empire. The importance of gateways.

Due to the particularity of the geographical location here, the city walls on both sides of the east and west are built against the mountains, which are extremely steep, and the mountains under the city walls are dangerous. Even if the enemy's infantry wants to launch an attack, it is extremely difficult. City equipment is even more difficult to use. At the main roads on the north and south sides of the basin, a city wall with a height of 20 meters was built. Over the past few hundred years, the city defense facilities have been repaired and improved many times, which is enough to resist the attack of more than ten times the force without moving. The flowing water from the mountains on both sides is attracted under the city wall to form a deep and wide natural moat, which forms an excellent defensive fortress no matter from south to north or from north to south.

In order to ensure the stability of this fortress checkpoint, in addition to stationing troops of two divisions at any time, a large number of residents were also moved in from various places in Taixuan Mansion at that time. Later, with the development of the economy, a considerable number of people came The people moved in on their own initiative, and as of now, the number of ordinary people in the fortress has reached 80,000. Apart from a small number of these people engaged in agricultural production nearby, most of them are engaged in occupations related to the garrison in the fortress, such as service industry, entertainment industry, commerce, etc. In fact, a large town has been formed.

There are food reserves in the fortress that can be used by the garrison and the people for a year. If emergency measures are taken, it can even last for about a year and a half without food. Moreover, there is abundant groundwater in the fortress, and water can also be drawn from the mountains on the east and west sides, so that there is no need to worry about the waterway being cut off in the fortress. There is also a military supply warehouse in the fortress that is large enough to put the ordnance and material warehouse of the Taixuan Mansion to shame. It stores a large amount of military and civilian materials to ensure that it can deal with various emergencies at any time.

Jiayuguan has not changed much in essence since the previous emperor changed the direct management of the military department to Taixuanfu. It turned out that the imperial regular army stationed at Jiayuguan also had a considerable amount of supplies directly allocated by the empire. Usually, three garrison divisions and two garrison divisions of Taixuan are stationed in Jiayuguan, and one division is stationed in Taixuanfu City, and the two cities echo each other.

Fielding was sitting alone in his study in the City Guard's Mansion, looking at the map. The recent drastic changes in the situation around Taixuan Mansion made him a little uneasy. The anti-aristocratic riots in the four northwest counties were within his expectations, but the expansion of the riots surprised him a little. Of course, he also wondered whether Li Wufeng and his direct subordinates were suspected of acting. What happened to the originally calm situation in the northwest? Could it have developed to such a degree in just a few days? ! Even if Li Wufeng himself was not in the Northwest, the situation would not have developed to such an extent. He did have some doubts about this, because the abilities of Li Wufeng's men who were able to help him left a deep impression on him.

However, while he was still feeling puzzled and doubtful about the changes in the situation in the four counties in the northwest, a bigger military conflict broke out in the east of his territory~IndoMTL.com~ made him feel a little out of control of the situation .

It was inconceivable to him that the Kamanians chose to attack Terok suddenly at this time. You must know that in order to prevent the Kamanans from further aggression against the Principality of Terok, the empire has already deployed the main army of four divisions in the southeast and south of the Principality of Terok, plus the threat from the side of the army of the three divisions. However, this Kamanian attack can only end in failure no matter how you look at it, and it will also affect their control of the occupied Jiama area. These consequences should not be invisible to the Kamanians.

Could it be that the Kaman people suddenly had a heart arrhythmia? Knowing the seriousness of the current situation, why did they choose this time to start the battle? What is their purpose in doing this? Fielding stared blankly at the military map in front of him, puzzled.

Could the Kamanans have other plans? Fielding, who had experienced many storms, still keenly smelled a strange smell from the unusual battle arrangement of the Kamans. He slowly moved his gaze to his territory.

Jiayuguan? It seems unlikely that the Kaman people who suffered countless losses must still remember it. Even if they have the strength of several times more troops than Jiayuguan, they will still stop in front of this fortress, which is known as the number one pass in the world. Could it be from the south? Fielding rubbed his chin lightly while moving his gaze to the east. The Kaman garrison in the Jiama area is now engaged in a fierce battle with the second and third divisions of the Empire's third army. What kind of strength, although the old guy Mailey is powerful, it is impossible to deal with two fronts, and even if he escaped from the battlefield in the Jiama area, Fielding is not worried. If he wants to attack Jiayuguan from the south, he will also be smashed. Blood flow, maybe Kaman people have to taste it once before they will remember it firmly.
