Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 68 Betting

The leisurely mood was immediately left behind, while Wufeng analyzed the situation, he immediately ordered his servants to send a letter to Taixuan asking Ling Tian to go to Lulong City immediately while strengthening Taixuan's defense. While the battle situation on the Eastern Front was becoming more and more tense, Wufeng never thought that the situation in the rear, which he regarded as safe, would be reversed.

Looking at the head of the fire soaring into the sky, the cold wind of early winter fueled the raging fire. This was originally expected by He Lianbo, but he still didn't expect that the fire would develop so quickly The violent and chaotic flames are not diverted by one's own will, and if one is not careful, one's own troops may even be involved.

While organizing the troops to retreat in an orderly manner, on the other hand, He Lianbo is also arranging scouting horses and arranging follow-up reconnaissance work. This long battle will be defeated once it is let go, but it cannot be turned into a rout, and the enemy cannot be allowed to take the opportunity The chasing is fierce, although the fire array can be stopped for a while, but it can't last long. Fortunately, I have reserved the light cavalry led by Linghu Yi as a support force, hoping that they can successfully restrain and harass the infantry who will soon follow up. , buy more time for yourself.

Emilian looked at the situation in front of him angrily. He realized that he was really too careless. He didn't expect the enemy to come up with such a move under such a disadvantageous situation. Not only did he consume and damage a lot of troops , and also used the fire to block the way of his pursuit, making it impossible for the cavalry to quickly follow up and kill. The fire made the horses terrified and it was difficult to play a maneuvering role. Although this did not affect the overall situation, the excessive consumption of troops still made him very angry. The infantry has quickly caught up, but it is still unknown whether they can bite the opponent. It seems that the opponent is not an idler. It seems that it is really hard to shirk my responsibility.

On December 17th, 695 in the continental calendar, the Grand Duchy of Luzon led a surprise attack on Northwest Luzon in three routes under the leadership of General Emilien, the commander in the middle. On December 18, General Emilian led the main force of the Luzon army to defeat the main force of the resisting Shuangdui garrison 30 kilometers south of Shuangdui City, and captured Shuangdui City, the central city of Northwest Luzon that day. On December 19, the Luzon West Route Army occupied the important town in the west of Northwest Luzon -- Mingzhu Town without bloodshed, and regained control of the Green Sea Swamp area. On December 21, the Luzon East Route Army occupied Huankou Town and cut off the road from Vito to Shuangdui. So far, except for the Bauhinia Pass Fortress in the northwest corner, most of Northwest Luzon has returned to the Grand Duchy of Luzon.

Bauhinia Pass Fortress, where the two remnants of the army meet, He Lianbo, who is covered in smoky marks, and Linghuyi, who is covered in blood, look at me and I look at you, with gloomy faces Finally a knowing smile appeared.

There are no other superfluous words, only the joy and excitement of the rest of the fierce battle. The two big hands are tightly held together and shake vigorously. This moment has witnessed the friendship between the two senior generals of the empire in the future.

Withstood repeated ravages by the Luzonian cavalry, the infantry and auxiliary soldiers of the three regiments of the Shuangdui Guard Division had less than a thousand soldiers left, and a considerable number of them were wounded, especially the heavy infantry. The loss was exhausted. If the light infantry hadn't responded quickly and resisted desperately in the later stage, perhaps the whole army would have been wiped out. Until now, He Lianbo still has lingering fears about that moment.

In order to buy more time for the retreating infantry, a regiment of light cavalry led by Linghu Yi, who was in charge of responding to the harassment, also bravely intercepted regardless of casualties. The tragedy made Linghu Yi cry, but They finally successfully completed the blocking mission. Although they paid a heavy price, Linghu Yi was extremely proud of their will to fight.

In the book "Luzon Diary" published by the Imperial State Publishing House decades later, Linghu Yi described in detail the first defeat since Li Wufeng, the founding emperor of the Empire, Battle, the book won two laurel honors issued by the Imperial Cultural Administration of the year, the Best Military Literature Award--Contradiction Award and the Best Documentary Literature Award--Der Spiegel Award, which aroused great interest in the Imperial Literature of the year. world sensation.

However, some people say that a large reason for this is the influence of the emperor himself writing the title of the book, and some even say that several major admonishers of the empire jointly persuaded the emperor to refund the so-called title fee for publishing the book. The imperial emperor was furious, and repeatedly reprimanded the imperial secrecy bureau for its uselessness, and even such private matters were seized by the admonisher. This anecdote caused countless disturbances and was widely circulated among the upper echelons of the empire. There is even a so-called insider claiming that the whistleblower is actually the author Linghuyi himself. Because he did not want to be extorted by the emperor for a high signing fee, he leaked the secret to the emperor's concubines. His Majesty resolutely refused to admit it, and the concubines were so angry that they reported the situation to the admonisher of the supervision department.

There are countless versions of anecdotes about this matter, and outsiders are naturally fond of talking about them, but of course no one knows the real inside story. Li Wufeng's legendary life has added an interesting anecdote.

The comprehensive statistics were soon reported. Except for the fifth regiment transferred from Mingzhu Town, the other four regiments can be said to be incomplete, and the two pure infantry regiments can The number was cancelled, because there were not many left, and even a mixed regiment was disbanded, and the cavalry regiment led by Linghu Yi also suffered heavy losses, with more than 4,000 horses, and less than 2,800 returned to Zijing Pass People, the combat effectiveness of the entire Shuangdui Security Division has dropped by more than half, and there are less than 8,000 people who can fight.

This battle can be said to have cost troops, generals, people and money, but from a political point of view, it was a battle that had to be fought. Both He Lianbo and Linghu Yi carefully analyzed and summarized it, and finally came to such a conclusion. Such a high price can be worthy of the fathers and folks in Northwest Luzon, but now the Shuangdui Guard Division has basically lost its combat effectiveness. Whether it can hold the Bauhinia Pass depends on the strength of the two division armies far away in Wusun Moved.

However, the defense capability of Zijing Pass is not what it used to be. Under Liang Chongxin's request, Lu Man basically met the requirements of the military, and invested a lot of power in defense facilities. A lot of defensive equipment unique to this county, such as giant catapults, improved bed crossbows, etc., have been shipped over, which has greatly improved the defense capabilities of the Zijingguan Fortress, and even the moat has been completed in a decent manner. It has become the best bridgehead for Wufeng forces to expand westward. North can threaten Kuqa, and West can deter Indians. It can also indirectly affect the countries where the caravan belongs. Wufeng's influence can even extend to the west On the mainland and on the West Tengger Grassland.

Before the war broke out, He Lianbo and Lu Man had already secretly transported a large amount of strategic and logistic materials to this fortress. This has also become the only territory in Northwest Luzon controlled by Li Wufeng after the fall of Shuangdui, and it is also the last sustenance in the hearts of He Lianbo and Linghuyi. A single soldier does not retreat, this is their final bottom line.

"How's the situation?" The middle-aged man had an extraordinary bearing, and his expression was quite calm.

"The army of the Luzon people has already entered the city, but the situation in the city is still relatively calm, and there is no chaos."

"I didn't expect that I would encounter such a troublesome thing as soon as I arrived here. It's really a coincidence that it came early!" The middle-aged man said with a wry smile.

"Uncle, don't worry. Master Lu has already greeted us two days ago. He asked everyone to deal with it calmly, exercise restraint, pay attention to observation, and wait patiently. Even he himself has not left, and he is still in the city guard's mansion. I'm working." The young man explained without being nervous.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man was very surprised, "What did you say? He didn't even leave?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu said that he is an official appointed by the empire, and this is an autonomous government. The people of Luzon have also signed a formal treaty with Mr. Li. The status of this place has long been clear. The people of Luzon tore up The agreement is their business, he has nothing to be afraid of, he still has to perform his duties until he can't. Most people in the city support and respect him." The young man looked admiring, A serious answer.

He let out a long breath, and the middle-aged man's face was shocked, "I never thought that Mr. Li's subordinates are really capable people, even such a remote place will have such lofty views and outstanding talents. It's thought-provoking."

After thinking about it for a while, the middle-aged man strengthened his belief, and he asked again: "Did Lord Lu ask us to do anything?"

"There is no specific request, but he asked us to pay attention to those who have abnormal reactions. In addition, we can agree to the request of the Luzon people. As long as they don't do things that are not conducive to the empire, it is fine. But his words are very cryptic, It’s hard to understand.” The young man scratched his scalp, and said in embarrassment~IndoMTL.com~haha,” the middle-aged man laughed loudly, “On such occasions, can you still ask him to speak clearly and directly? That's too embarrassing for others. Just have a general idea, and you can understand it yourself. "

"Then Master, what should we do?" The young man immediately asked for instructions.

"Well, since Master Lu didn't ask for anything specifically, then we should do whatever we should, whether to open the gym for training or to open the gym for training, whether to recruit disciples or recruit disciples, everything is the same as usual. As for Master Lu , you can secretly assure Mr. Lu that our Bashan Gu family will absolutely support Mr. Li, please rest assured that if he needs anything, just ask him, and we will do our best." The middle-aged man replied with a smile but a firm tone.

"Master Uncle?" The young man was a little surprised, but he knew that Third Martial Uncle was known as a think tank among the sect, so he didn't want to ask too many questions.

"Okay, just do as I said, Luzon people will stay here soon, and this place will return to Mr. Li's hands." The middle-aged man smiled and said with an unquestionable tone.

The young man didn't dare to ask any more questions, he quickly nodded in agreement, and left after saluting. Only then did the middle-aged man look out the window thoughtfully. Selling to the other party at this time will definitely have a hundred times more effect than usual. Judgment with confidence.
