Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 89 Northern Expedition (2)

Started for a while, Long recalled the meaning hidden in the words of his colleague and superior, and then cautiously replied: "Could it be that Chongxin thinks there are still some variables in this battle?"

"No, you misunderstood me. What I mean is that you think it's the first time in history that our Western Frontier Army has mobilized such a large-scale army. Your Highness is probably determined to confront the Kamans head-on. Once touched, in the past few times due to various reasons, we failed to really confront the Kaman people, but this time it is a bit different. If we fail, this battle will become a decisive battle between Xijiang and Kaman. However, the Kaman people are now very powerful, and they occupy the three prefectures of Beiyuan, Fanlin, and Jiayuguan. I don’t know which area I think His Highness will choose as the main battlefield?" Liang Chongxin shook his head, his eyes were deep and far away, and the tone of his words seemed to be It's also a little unpredictable.

"Which one will be the main battlefield?" After pondering for a while, Long Zi was also thinking about this question, "It's not very sure, I'm afraid it depends on the changes in the battlefield, but now that His Highness ordered us and the Fifth Army to enter Anyuan and Tianshui, together with Terok, already has an army of 300,000, Fanlin and the three prefectures of Beiyuan may become the key to the outcome of this battle.”

"By self, you mean that the main battlefield may be somewhere in the three prefectures of Beiyuan or Fanlin?" Liang Chongxin asked back.

"Looking at the current situation, His Highness seems to have this intention. Fanlin City has high walls and thick troops, and it is difficult to attack, but once Fanlin is conquered, the entire three prefectures of Beiyuan will be surrounded by us. Under the danger of being suppressed, we can also adopt the tactics of encirclement and reinforcements to eliminate the vital force of the Kaman people. This can give full play to the role of our rangers, and there is more room for tactical choices; as for the selection of the three prefectures of Beiyuan, there are also advantages. The front lines of the three prefectures of Beiyuan are long, and there are many lines and attack positions available for interception, and the garrison of the Kamans in this area is relatively scattered. We can concentrate our superior forces to encircle and wipe them out one by one after cutting off their return route, but we are afraid of our strength. One move will easily reveal the strategic purpose. If the Kaman people decisively shrink the defense line, or even give up Pinglu and Qinghe, our strategic intention will not be achieved. If the timing is right, it is not ruled out that His Highness will deploy on the two lines at the same time. So everything must be done. It depends on the situation at the time, it is difficult to judge now.”

It should be said that Long's own judgment is pertinent and realistic. Hundreds of thousands of troops gather in this area, and a big war is inevitable. How to choose the most favorable time and place for the decisive battle depends on the situation.

Seeing Liang Chongxin's expression seemed to have an indescribable taste, Long Zi was a little surprised, and then thought: "Could it be that Chongxin thinks that this war will continue to extend to the territory of Kaman? If so, this war may be over. It won't be over in three to five months, will it affect the plan to move east? In addition, if it really goes deep into the territory of Kaman, it will be a matter of the survival of the country. Not only will its national power explode, but the people of Puer I will definitely come to help with all my strength, I am afraid that even the Sithrow people will find it difficult to accept this result?"

"No, no, I think His Highness's purpose now is probably just to destroy the war potential of the Kamans for a period of time in the future, but if you want to really destroy the Kamans, as you just said, there are various Reasons are limited, and we are still powerless. Forget it, we still have to think about how we should fight the next battle. Your Highness chose us in Anyuan, and I am afraid that we will cooperate with the Fifth Army to suppress Nick's southern army. There must be more willingness to conscript the army." Liang Chongxin took a long breath and said no more.

The war clouds in the north did not affect the changes in the situation in the five lakes, and everything was still operating according to their own laws. On January 23, 699 in the mainland, before the Spring Festival, seeing that there was no hope of food and pay, they were stationed in Huanggang The three independent divisions of the southern military region on the outskirts of Fucheng launched a mutiny and attacked Huanggang Fucheng to demand that His Royal Highness Jin Wang pay the arrears of food and salaries. Situ Jun ordered the Fifth Army to suppress it. Because the opinions of the Fifth Army could not be unified, a decision was delayed. That night , the two divisions of the Fifth Army also joined the rebel team, and opened the city gate to join forces with three independent divisions outside the city to rush into the city and have a fierce battle with the two divisions loyal to Situ Jun, while the other division remained neutral. The regiment withdrew from Fucheng from the north gate. The two warring parties started a large-scale street battle in Huanggang Fucheng, and Xiang King Situ Biao, who had already linked up with the Fourth Division of the Southern Military Region, immediately ordered the Fifth Army to assemble in the south of Yueyang. The division sent troops to rush forward at night, and ordered the other two divisions of the Thirteenth Army stationed in Yueyang to advance to Huanggang at the same time, and quickly occupied all strategic points in Huanggang.

On January 25th, the Fourth Division of the Sixth Army under the command of Situ Biao arrived at Huanggang City with the cooperation of the navy. At this time, the battle in Huanggang City was intense. However, due to terrain constraints, the rebels were still unable to completely defeat the army loyal to Situ Jun. It was not until the Fourth Division of the Sixth Army Corps entered Huanggangfu City under the guise of stopping the situation from expanding that the war was considered to be in favor of the rebels. One side develops in the direction.

On January 26th, under the protection of his personal guards, Situ Jun fled Huanggang with a group of staff members in a panic. Government affairs. On the same day, the Fourth Division of the Sixth Army of the Empire announced to take over Huanggang Mansion, and ordered the mutiny army and other ministries to withdraw from Huanggang Mansion City and station in the western suburbs, waiting to be reorganized.

On January 28, two days before the Spring Festival of the Tang Clan, Situ Biao led two divisions of the Thirteenth Army into Huanggang Fucheng. After the guarantee of the parties, it was announced that they would accept the reorganization of the King of Hunan. The Huanggang mutiny came to an end after a week. The Fifth Army and three independent divisions were reorganized into a new Fifth Army and an independent division. The division head was killed in the mutiny, and the first division also suffered heavy losses. After merging with the independent division, Qiu Zicheng, the former head of the independent fourth division, served as the division head, and the former chief of staff of the independent fourth division served as the head of the division. Deputy head of the division, and Gillette, the former deputy head of the Fourth Independent Division, served as the head of the newly reorganized Second Independent Division.

The Huanggang mutiny was quickly resolved under Situ Biao's carrot-and-stick policy, which represented a solid step for Situ Biao to integrate the southern forces. This force officially withdrew from the imperial political arena, and after accepting Situ Biao's recruitment, as many as 140,000 troops were successfully attached to Situ Biao's command, which made Situ Biao extend his sphere of influence to the edge of the imperial capital, and made him finally possess Gained the military strength to compete with the northern brother.

Similarly, the changes in the situation in the five lakes were not affected by the battle clouds in the west, and the war wheels in the west did not stop at all because of the sudden change in the situation in the five lakes.

Immediately after receiving the order, Bo Jinchen, Kang Jianguo, and Zhan Botao rushed back to Merrington. On the way, the three of them had already discussed the issue of the northern line of the northern war, and quickly came up with a plan. Two plans. The first plan was proposed and supported by Bo Jinchen. It advocates sending two divisions of the Nanjie Locke Army to go north to the south of Yulin to intercept the Kaman army stationed in Qinghe and Pinglu, and to mobilize the Third Army and the First Army As well as the two seventh and eighth mixed corps and part of the city guards of Terok, divide and surround the Qinghe and Lu Kaman troops, concentrate superior forces to pull out the nails one by one, and completely wipe out the Kamanan army. The second plan is Bo Jinchen During the discussion with Kang Jianguo and Zhan Botao, it was suggested that the Third Army should launch a feint attack on the southern line of Pinglu and Qinghe to hold back the main force of Nick's southern conquest army. Lin, after Fan Lin was uprooted, the two armies engulfed Nick's Southern Expeditionary Army.

Although the three of them didn't know Wufeng's thoughts at the time, these two sides generally included the military actions that the entire Western Xinjiang could take to deal with it, whether it was to attack Fanlin by force or cut off the three northern prefectures~IndoMTL. com~ The Nanjieluk Legion and the three Ranger regiments alone are obviously powerless, but they don’t know whether Wufeng is just making a fuss on the surface or really wants to take this opportunity to fight the Kamanians.

However, when Bo Jinchen, who arrived in Merrington, got the first and fifth main armies and had already set off to the north, Bo Jinchen knew that this battle was inevitable. On January 26, Wufeng After visiting Merrington in person, after a three-hour long talk with Grand Duke Alan of Terok and Duke Jacquelic, the important minister in charge of military and political affairs, the Terok side finally agreed that Li Wufeng would command the Terok territory, including the Terok National Defense Forces. All the troops in the country, the cloud of war shrouded the sky of the Eastern Continent, almost everyone turned their attention to this place, and the war was about to break out.

"Is there no news yet?" The stern and thin soldier looked up at the dark night sky outside the window with his hands behind his back. The pitch-black night was just like his mood at this time. The adjutant outside.

"Back to Commander, there is no news yet. If there is news, the subordinate will notify you as soon as possible." The commander-in-chief lost his composure and sighed endlessly. It is obvious that the commander-in-chief has encountered extremely troublesome things.

"Master Prime Minister, if you don't reply again, I'm afraid Nick will have to disobey the order and act independently." He could only hear himself muttering to himself, his cold eyes gazing at the map on the desk, and the small black flag had already been planted. It is all around, forming a huge encirclement circle, and a yellow flag has been planted on the waist that I am most worried about. Although this indicates that it is unconfirmed information, it is enough to make Nick, who has never been afraid of anything, tremble with fear.
