Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 80 Fighting for merit
Hoffman's heart has never been so hearty, and it has been a long time since he was so comfortable in his body. Ever since he was attacked by the shameless gang in the Northwest during the Battle of Terok, he was always in a depressed and remorseful state of mind. Although General Mailey took all the responsibilities, Hoffman knew that this fact had something to do with his lax mentality at the time, but now everything is in the past.
Release's running all night did not make him feel tired at all. He ran from the border of Fanlin to the foot of Yulin city, and he arrived in two hundred and twenty miles in one night. They dismounted and became infantry, and the entire city of Yulin collapsed in less than two hours under the attack of their own 10,000 light cavalry. Perhaps the long peace made them unaware that the disaster would come from the west. When the Kaman people's sun, moon and star flag was raised above Yulin City, the 10,000-strong heavy cavalry of Hoffman's Second Corps was still more than 80 miles away from Yulin Fucheng, and the five 10,000-strong infantry had just stepped into the city. The territory of Yulin was less than sixty miles away, and such a victory came so easily that Hoffman couldn't believe it.
The Yulin people who were used to the three-legged blue bird flag of Taiping Jiaoren were frightened by the screams all night, but most of them stayed indoors except for sneaking through the cracks of the door to check the reality. Going out, the so-called rebels hunted by the Taiping Sect during this period of time has turned the rich households in Yulin City into frightened birds, and a large number of gentry and businessmen have been thrown into prison, unless you pay a huge amount of bail to escape Born, otherwise what awaits you will be the mental torment of not seeing people alive or dead.
After the day was bright, the bolder people went out only to find that the patrols on the street had completely changed their costumes overnight, and the Kaman soldiers who spoke bad Tang dialect asked the citizens not to stop. When they went out, they all went back to their own homes and waited for the notification. The Yulin people knew that the real wolf was coming, and the Kaman people occupied Yulin! This place has become an occupied area of the Kamans!
Release "Report!" A soldier's loud voice sounded outside the door.
Published "Come in!" Hoffman was still intoxicated with the joy of victory, standing in the courtyard of Yulin Mansion Zunfu, which was the original Yulin City Guard's Mansion, looking at the logistics soldiers packing up and tidying up, Hoffman endured I can't help wanting to caress all of this, it's true, all of this is true, the longing for several years, the horse stepped into the Central Plains, finally became a reality, of course, all of this is based on my overnight struggle.
Release "There is an urgent military situation!" Although the appreciation was interrupted, Hoffman was in a good mood at this time.
Publish "Read!"
Issuing "General Nick ordered the Second Corps to keep a 10,000-strong infantry stationed in Yulin City, and the rest of the troops, without stopping, without disarming their armor, and cooperate with the Fourth Corps to advance south, aiming at Qinghe!" After reading the order, The soldiers then waited for the command from the general.
Published "Well, General Nick probably didn't expect that Yulin City would come so easily. If there were no reports and support from the family members of the Tang gentry who were killed by the Taiping Sect, I'm afraid we might not have won it so easily." Huo Fuman nodded and smiled, the excitement on his face had gradually faded, thinking that he had calmed down from the ecstasy of victory at the beginning, but the words were thrown to the deputy who had been checking the map by the side.
Published "What the general said is true, but without the officers and soldiers of our second corps, especially you, the general, I am afraid that the Taiping army in Yulin City will still resist stubbornly. , Only then will the victory be established, but the general should remember the first battle!" The deputy general looked away from the map, smiled and complimented his superior, seeing that the superior was not happy, he quickly changed the topic again.
Published "General Nick's purpose is also very clear. The ravines in the north of Pinglu are quite unfavorable to our light cavalry and heavy cavalry. It can swallow Pinglu and even Anyuan. Once such advantages are established, no one will be able to wipe the three-star flag of our Kaman Empire from this land. However, general, if we take Yulin, we can start from here. The sidewalk in the southwest corner goes straight into Pinglu. Although the cavalry may not be able to do it, if we let our 30,000-strong light infantry sneak, we may be able to occupy Pinglu before the Fourth Corps defeats the Qinghe Taiping Army and then marches westward. !" The lieutenant general unfolded the map in front of Hoffman, tapped his finger lightly, and expressed his desire to see the power.
Release Hoffman's heart was shocked, and he immediately set his sights on a volume of large-scale geographical topographic map of Yulin Prefecture that he had just obtained. This map was just collected from the Taiping Sect's confidential room Yes, the detailed topography is shown very clearly on the large-scale map, from every mountain ridge to the mountain creeks that disappear in the dry season in the wet season are clearly shown in this volume.
Published from the southwestern corner of Yulin, you can enter the northern area of Pinglu, but the northern area of Pinglu is a typical deep hilly terrain, and there are many rivers. Most places have no roads at all, but if you go from the southeast of Jielu At the corner where the terrain is slightly gentle, you can clearly see a sidewalk marked, and this sidewalk even extends to the north of Pinglu near the edge of the central plain, and then connects with the main road in the middle of Pinglu, which is obviously passable. Hoffman was not at ease, and took out several other maps for comparison, and found that this sidewalk did exist, and he also found a note on another map that specifically explained this road, proving the existence of this road. exists and is passable.
Release Seeing the general let out a long breath, the deputy general knew that his superior was a little tempted, so he didn't say much, just lined up several maps, waiting for the general's decision.
Release "You said that if we go south next to the eastern border of Terok, will we be discovered by the Northwesterners in Terok?" After a long time, Hoffman raised his head and asked.
Issuing "This should not be the case. First, although this road is close to Terok, the general can find that there are still two mountain ridges between it. Now that General Mailey is conducting military exercises in Northern Terok, I'm afraid it has already passed." It has attracted the attention of the people in the Northwest. How could they pay so much attention to this trail that is not in the territory of Terok and is also separated by a mountain ridge? Even if they pay attention, it will be three years before they understand it. And I have just sent people to find a guide who is familiar with the terrain in the north of Yulin. According to him, this road does exist, and it is not very rugged. This road is prone to landslides during the rainy season, and it is intermittently open, but now it is winter and the climate is dry, so we should not encounter such unlucky things.” The lieutenant was overjoyed, and quickly cheered Hoffman up, “Corps commander, let’s Since the Second Division suffered a setback in Terok last time, the other regiments have a lot of opinions on our ranking. If we can't win two beautiful battles after this battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop those people mouth."
Is it possible that Hoffman does not know the mystery of this? Not only did he fail to be promoted, but it was said that the ranking had already been determined to be behind the newly formed Eighth and Ninth Corps, which was a great shame to the entire Corps. The Second Corps led by him has always had a good record, but it capsized in the first battle of Terok, and its ranking is likely to drop. Fortunately, this time it got such a good opportunity to go south, and it was time for a good performance. However, although Yulin won this battle, General Nick knew that this battle was a decisive battle, and there was not much suspense. Therefore, when his deputy complimented him just now, Hoffman was not happy, but if he can win Hurley's 4th Corps had taken Pinglu earlier, and the 2nd Division's battle to keep their position would be considered a complete victory.
The announcement is just that General Nick gave him an order to cooperate with the 4th Corps to go south~IndoMTL.com~ In addition to his 2nd Corps, the 3rd and 8th Corps will also go south together. For the Taiping Army of Qinghe Mansion, this is simply an overkill. Even if his Second Corps follows up, it may be difficult to get a share of the pie, let alone record. Hoffman found himself driven mad by the choice.
Issuing "General, we learned about this road from the Taiping Sect after the capture of Yulin. On-the-spot decision-making is also the power given to a corps commander by the general, let alone the 4th corps has the 3rd and 8th corps. Cooperate, if there is still a problem with the mob in Qinghe Mansion, then Hurley should really commit suicide." Seeing that the general is still hesitant, the lieutenant further cheered him up, "If you say that your lord is worried about the city guards of the Tanghe people? Legion, I don't think there is any need for it. If the city guards wanted to occupy Qinghe, they would have done it long ago, and they would have to wait until now when Situ Mingyue was just buried? I'm afraid that Yusuf is still anxiously waiting for someone at this time. When the master comes to power, how should we deal with him. As long as we take down the Pinlu mansion, everything can be explained clearly."
Published "Okay! Well said, the winners are never held accountable in wars. As long as we win Pinglu, even if General Nick pursues our responsibility, we can explain it much better! Most of the Taiping Army in Pinglu is concentrated in the southeast The Huashuiyu in Fucheng has only more than 10,000 remnants, which is not worth mentioning at all, and I don't believe that our 30,000 warriors can't take Pinglu." The bulging veins twisted on Hoffman's neck, and he slapped it on the record On the table, he said in a deep voice: "Over there, let's let the cavalry follow up with the Fourth Corps. If Hurley and the others ask about it, they will say that our infantry was delayed because they went to the city to rest, and it may be a little later. Our Fourth Corps is no longer needed.”
