Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 42 Start

Holding the information in his hand, Ling Tian felt relieved that the Kamanians finally made a move. He thought it would be a fight in Terok, but he didn't expect this old guy to raid the northwest instead of the important one. This move was quite vicious. He raised his head and looked at his boss who didn't seem to be touched by anything. Ling Tianfang was a little puzzled, why is it that His Royal Highness King Qin is sipping tea leisurely as if there is no such thing? It's not easy to pretend to be relaxed.

"Your Highness, you don't seem to take this matter seriously. The information has confirmed that the Kamans in Beijieluk indeed dispatched 40,000 cavalry, and there are also a large number of mules and horses, heading straight for Yinchuan and Qingyang. Yes, but Brother Jinchen's main force of cavalry has all gone to the battlefield of the three prefectures in the east, and he cannot be transferred back for a while. He has already sent a letter asking His Highness to transfer the third cavalry regiment of Xikang and the second and fourth cavalry of Wulanji The regiment rushed to help." Ling Tianfang had to bite the bullet and ask for instructions: "This subordinate thinks that the third cavalry regiment can be dispatched to the northwest, and Wulanji is far away. It is estimated that it is too late in time, and it is not of much value."

"Well, let's do it according to your opinion." Wufeng said indifferently: "Tian Fang, don't make it so tense, isn't it just Mai Li's desperate move, this can only prove that the Kaman people are in trouble If you can’t even guarantee the logistics of your own army, then Gomez should really step down. But I think it’s impossible for Gomez to be so simple, maybe this will cause him a moment of embarrassment, but with his ability he It should be able to pass this level, not to mention the potential of the Kaman Empire is not small, a little stimulation, it should not be underestimated."

"Your Highness, if there is a war in the northwest, the western border will definitely be shaken. It will have a great negative impact on you and the entire western border region, and it will also shake the people's confidence in us." Ling Tian put a face on Worrying, he really couldn't figure out why the boss in front of him looked at the situation so lightly. The Kaman people were always aggressive, Yinchuan only had one division to defend, and Qingyang had only a newly formed division to sit in command. Once there is a mistake, wouldn't it make the world laugh?

"Tian Fang, don't worry. The purpose of Kaman's raid in the northwest is of course to seize food. Both Qingyang and Yinchuan have enough food. How much can the Kaman people bring with them? Not so much that they came It is more accurate to say that it is better to attack our momentum to seize food. Attacking Qingyang can certainly show its prestige, but the risk is just as huge. If they are caught up by the third cavalry regiment, they will pay a higher price. The Kaman people are not stupid, they should I will take this into consideration. What's more, I put Fielding in the northwest because he has both military and political abilities. I believe he has the ability to deal with it. Be optimistic about the two, if the Kaman people want to take advantage of them, they have to spend some time, haha."

Li Wufeng finally put down the volume in his hand, and answered the other party quietly. What he held in his hand was the comprehensive introduction and comments of the outstanding graduates of this year's graduates submitted by the teachers of the Northwest Military Academy and Northwest University. This is an important channel for Xijiang to select officials. Although Northwest University and Northwest Military Academy recruit students The scale of the government is expanding every year, but due to the rapid expansion of Wufeng's control area, and the fact that the proportion of officials in various places who meet the double assessment of the Government Affairs Department and the Legal Affairs Department is too small, a considerable number of officials are in the Supervision Department almost every month. The eyes fell, and the power and ability of the Supervision Department were fully demonstrated. The backup officials who needed to be replaced were almost empty. As soon as there were suitable replacement officials, they took office immediately, and there was almost no time in between. Talent has become the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of Xijiang, especially some comprehensive talents. This is Li Wufeng's own conclusion. If he does not find a way to solve this problem, Xijiang will face more problems in the next step, especially in the When his territory has extended to the southern peninsula.

Seeing that the Director of Military Affairs was still hesitant, Wufeng closed the volume and said calmly: "Tian Fang, this time we are indeed a little careless in the northwest, but this does not affect the overall situation. Yang and Yinchuan, their goal is the grain depot, and they will not cause much harassment to the people. After all, they don't have much time to harass the local area. This will certainly have some impact on our prestige, but it also has a good side, that is, it will give us inland The local people also tightened their strings to let them know that the world is not peaceful yet. If they want to enjoy a peaceful life, they must first contribute to national defense. As for Bo Jinchen, since I authorized him, I believe he should also give me A satisfactory confession, he is not to blame for the affairs in the Northwest, and the responsibility should also be the responsibility of you and me, but if the nearly 200,000 troops are handed over to him and cannot achieve anything, I believe it will be difficult for him to meet You and me."

Ling Tian was relieved. It seems that although the boss said he didn't care much about the Kamanian invasion of the Northwest, he set the task on Bo Jinchen. He performed well in the battle of Beiyuan Sanfu.

"Okay, let's stop discussing the northern affairs, let's discuss the southern war, haven't the engineers opened the passage to the dense forest area yet? How much time will it take?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, it will take three to five days at most to break through the passage in the dense forest area. Now the third division led by Shanyao has deployed defenses along the southern edge of the dense forest area. As long as the third division can survive these few days One day, the Fourth Legion will be able to join him, and then all problems will be solved."

When Ferdinand accepted the task assigned by the coach, his heart was filled with excitement and nervousness. After all, 40,000 cavalry, with more than 30,000 mules and horses and vehicles, carried out such a long-distance raid. A great adventure, or more accurately a gamble.

But as soon as he set out on the road, he immediately felt that this battle would not be easy. This long-distance march required hundreds of miles from Jiama to the west. In addition to tens of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of mules, there were as many as There is a convoy of 2,000 vehicles, but the poor road conditions are revealed before leaving the Jiama area. Just starting from Jiama and traveling westward for less than 60 miles, more than 30 vehicles were damaged and unable to go on the road. Either the shaft was damaged or the crankshaft was damaged, which forced the entire convoy to slow down greatly. Not only did the marching speed of the team be greatly delayed, but once they entered the territory of Taixuan to the east, the road was more rugged and difficult to navigate due to marching along the southern foothills of the Zagros Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains, and the chances of vehicle damage were greater According to the efficiency of the current marching speed, once the reinforcement cavalry of the Western Frontier Army arrives fast enough, his army is likely to be chased by those nomadic cavalry.

At this time, although Ferdinand put his life and death aside, but with such a huge team in his hands, and with such an important task to complete, Ferdinand had to think more carefully. Without much hesitation, Ferdinand decisively abandoned more than 1,000 vehicles, and asked all the pack horses to be driven by the servants. This decision immediately won the unanimous support of all the impatient cavalry officers.

After getting rid of the drag of the vehicles, the speed of the whole team has been greatly accelerated, and the requirements for the walking terrain are not limited to the road. It only took more than a day to get to Jiayuguan, and I felt that after a little rest and replenishment at Jiayuguan, the whole team went west without stopping. However, Ferdinand soon received the second bad news after he took over the task. The Caizhai Grain Depot in Qingyang Mansion is also one of the main targets of this operation. The road was completely destroyed and several large trenches were dug around the grain depot, which not only prevented vehicles from entering ~IndoMTL.com~ even mules, horses and livestock could not cross.

This sudden blow stunned all the senior officers, including Ferdinand. There is also a situation where a division is in charge of defense, and if it is not done well, it will make one's own gains outweigh the losses.

This series of blows caused Ferdinand and a group of senior officers to cast a psychological shadow on the raid mission. He made a quick response, which surprised Ferdinand. He thought that this raid must have been unexpected by the people of Xijiang, and could receive the effect of a sneak attack. From this point of view, not only the raid needs to select the target, but It is also necessary to guard against the pursuit of the nomadic cavalry in the western Xinjiang.

But now that he has come to this point, Ferdinand can only hold the idea of ​​success or benevolence, and Qingyang is prepared, so Yinchuan should also be prepared, but the tip comes that Yinchuan is Speeding up the shipment, he didn't seem to be aware of the arrival of his side. This news made Ferdinand both worried and happy. The worry was whether there would be any conspiracy in Xijiang, but the joy was that no matter what conspiracy the other party had, the enemy military No matter where the power is, it can't pose too much threat to one's own side. With the armed forces in his hands, he can completely deal with any provocations from the other side, especially Yinchuan's geographical location is more suitable for launching this operation. Easily get rid of the chasing soldiers of Xijiang and escape into the territory of Heathrow, escaping from the chasing and intercepting of Xijiang.

Having made up his mind, Ferdinand did not hesitate to order the entire army to march eastward with all its strength, and speed up the 20,000 light cavalry to provide favorable conditions for the follow-up troops to sweep the periphery.
