Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 21: Strange trick
"Wenxiu, what do you think?" After briefly introducing the situation, Wufeng didn't explain his opinion, but looked at this one of his most capable subordinates.
After more than a year of ups and downs, Cui Wenxiu also appeared more mature and stable while growing up as the Independent First Cavalry Division, with a calm and relaxed look on his slightly dusty face. It showed his calmness even more.
"My lord, this subordinate thinks that Mai Li's current move is quite unfavorable to us. I'm afraid we have to deal with it well. Otherwise, even if we win this battle, I'm afraid the loss will not be small." Cui Wenxiu obviously thought carefully about the situation introduced by Wufeng, and his words immediately attracted everyone's attention. At that time, Wufeng himself was still calm, and he only nodded with interest to signal him to continue talking.
"According to the current intelligence, there are at least 80,000 to 100,000 troops ahead of us. Although we don't know who is leading the army, Mailey is known for his stability in the Kaman Empire military, and most of his subordinates are cautious. A steady general, although he looks a bit conservative, it is this stable style with hidden murderous intentions that makes McLeary enjoy the reputation of "undefeated in all battles in his life" in Kaman. This time he dared to lead the army south with confidence. , there must be a perfect arrangement, and the leading figure in front of us must also be a general with a style similar to his." Seeing that the coach was very interested, Cui Wenxiu stopped being secretive and said in detail.
"Well, this possibility is very high, you continue to talk." Wufeng nodded thoughtfully.
"The combat power of the Kaman army is extremely powerful. I believe everyone here already understands that our Independent First Cavalry Division raided their Southern Camp and fully experienced the quality of their soldiers. It is indeed not for nothing. Their reaction The speed and tenacity of the fighting style really exceeded our expectations, and they were able to immediately organize a defense in such an absolute disadvantaged situation, and their original intention to defeat their entire Southern Camp was also forced to stop." Cui Cui Wenxiu made no secret of her admiration for the quality of the Kaman army soldiers.
"To be honest, I think the southern army is a little out of touch with our side, and we didn't expect that the Kamans would dare to make such a move under the noses of Merrington City. The purpose of this army right now is definitely It is to hold us back so that we cannot cross the front to join the southern front, but the strength of this large army is not trivial. I think it will be difficult for us to eliminate them in a short time, and the Kamans on the southern front have an absolute advantage, old wood You and Laolong may encounter a lot of trouble this time." Cui Wenxiu hesitated and considered his words, and the words he said became much more tactful.
The commander fell silent for a while, and Wufeng was also thinking about the analysis of his capable subordinate. It seems that Cui Wenxiu has carefully analyzed the current situation, and his previous thoughts also underestimated the enemy. How to solve or get rid of the Kaman army in front of us in a short period of time still needs to be thought deeply, and this period of time is also a critical moment to test the combat effectiveness of Mulige, Longzu and the independent third infantry division, but they can survive this hurdle ?
"Master Cui, do you think the Kaman people are too strong? Of the three divisions in the south, two of them are infantry divisions dominated by Jinzhou Gaoyue people. Li is trapped, but I am thinking, I am afraid that it should not be a big problem to persist for a month? And we have nearly 120,000 troops here, and the enemy is still in the situation of being attacked on both sides, so we have to consider the threat in the city of Merrington. Can it still block our way?" Kang Jianguo, the commander of the Fourth Independent Mixed Division, couldn't help expressing a different opinion. He was a little dissatisfied with Cui Wenxiu's high reputation for the combat effectiveness of the Kaman army, but Cui Wenxiu was after all As a veteran who followed Wufeng, his tone was still quite polite.
"Master Kang's words are very reasonable. I also believe that the combat effectiveness of our army should not be weaker than the opponent's. I'm just worried that the three divisions from the south are coming too fast. Can the food and supplies they bring keep up?" Cui Wenxiu nodded slightly, expressing agreement with the other party's point of view, but asked the next question, "The question is whether we can break through the entanglement of the enemy in a short period of time?"
Cui Wenxiu hit Wufeng's heart **** the issue of the supplies brought by the southern route group, which shocked him. The southern route group was indeed coming a little too fast, and the supplies they brought would definitely not be many, but Gao Yue Although human beings are strong in combat, their food intake is much higher than that of ordinary Tang soldiers. Once they lack supplies, can they persist?
Taking a deep breath, Wufeng didn't think about it any more, and decided decisively: "Well, just now, everyone's opinions are very enlightening to me, but the situation is urgent now. Once the southern line group fails, it will affect the entire The Terok battlefield will have an irreversible impact, so we must immediately break through the defense line of the Kaman army in front of us, go straight to the south line, force the Kaman people to give up, and solve the problem of Merrington in one fell swoop.”
"What good idea does your lord have?" All the generals focused on Wufeng's face, even Cui Wenxiu's face showed hope.
Spreading his hands with a wry smile, Wufeng scratched his scalp, and said with a helpless smile: "Not now, but as long as the goal is determined, I think we can come up with a solution."
Swinging away the generals, Wufeng sat alone in the big tent, staring at the large military map hanging on the wall of the tent, with several red and black arrows and dots marked and different shades of color generals. The terrain and geography of the entire Czech Republic are clearly outlined, making it easy to see at a glance.
It was not a good move for the Kamans to attack Merrington in the south. Although they control the Jiama area in the north, the people's hearts have not yet fully surrendered. Although Fanlin City in the northeast corner was trapped, they were temporarily He was also unwilling to exchange control of the city at a relatively high price, so he remained so rigid. At this time, Mai Li was uncharacteristically going south to encircle and suppress his southern group. Could it be that he was really sure that he could swallow up his three divisions on the southern line in one go to deal with him?
Thinking of this, Wufeng nodded slightly. If it can be delayed for a while, such a long logistics supply line alone can make the Kaman people die without a place to bury them. However, the Kaman people have already gone south to Merrington. For a long time, except for the supply center destroyed by Cui Wenxiu's cavalry division, the Kamans still had a relatively sufficient supply of food and grass in the area under their control, otherwise Mailey would not have gone south so confidently and boldly. But in front of me, the supply of the southern line cluster may be more of a problem, and the collapse shows off the superiority of the enemy's strength, so it is necessary to break this deadlock under the collapse of the southern line.
Wufeng slowly raised his gaze to the top of the map, armored horse? Fan Lin? Chewing these two words silently, it seems that if you want to open the gap, you must find a breakthrough from this aspect.
"What? What did you say?" Marquis Dominic was taken aback and couldn't help standing up, "Say it again!"
"My lord, there should be no problem with the information. The main enemy forces on the western front have diverted to the north, and only a small part is left to bluff in front of us." The middle-aged man who reported was not a military scout, but It came from other departments of the empire responsible for coordinating with the army's operations. The words were full of confidence and mixed with a trace of anxiety.
"Oh?" Dominic asked in horror: "Their main force turned to the north?"
Immediately searching the map, Dominic wrinkled his forehead, "North? Why is Li Wufeng paying attention? Could it be that they still want to attack Jiama or Fanlin?"
As soon as the words came out, Dominic couldn't help shaking his whole body. Jiama now has only 20,000 garrisons, and the local people's hearts are still unstable. Once the northwest army invades, it may immediately cause disastrous consequences. The entire Jiama area If they don't do it well, they will rebel again, and once the armored horse is lost, the chain reaction will directly affect the Fanlin area. What's more, now that Fanlin City has not been captured, won't the entire northern part of Terok immediately change? Wouldn't the entire southward cluster become a tree without soil? Dominic dare not imagine what the consequences would be.
Seeing Dominic's hesitant expression, the middle-aged man couldn't help but emphasize his tone: "My lord~IndoMTL.com~The situation is urgent, Jiama City has less than 20,000 troops, and the commander of Jiama City now It's the Marquis of Katritz, he is the emperor's direct cousin, please send troops to reinforce him immediately."
The Marquis of Katritz? Dominic's face became more and more gloomy. This Marquis of Katritz is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although he is only a regiment commander, and his title is also the same as his own, but his origin and power are far from being comparable to his own. Not only did he come from a wealthy and prominent family in the empire, but his mother was also a cousin to His Majesty the Emperor. With this kind of relationship, Katritz was in the empire like wind and rain. Even the Prime Minister and Nick Mailey The general is not willing to provoke easily.
But this guy loves to show off. Ever since Kaman invaded Terok, this guy has been going to the Terok occupied area to enjoy the life of the occupier. The people's resentment boiled over, and many Terok gentry who had gradually surrendered began to rebel again. The ordinary people hated this lustful and greedy guy to the bone. The measures failed, but it triggered this guy's crazy revenge. Every day, countless innocent residents were thrown into prison. If the huge ransom was not paid, what was waiting was endless prison disasters.
This is not the reason why Dominic has a headache. This guy also has a personal grievance with himself. When he was promoted to Marquis, he was slandered by this guy in every possible way, claiming that these little nobles have low blood and are not good enough to be promoted. The high-ranking nobleman, who has always been calm, never compromised on matters involving the well-being of future generations, and thus forged a deep hatred with the whole guy. At this time, such a troublesome situation appeared, which made Domi Nicky felt even more indecisive.
