Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 1: Jin Ge’s first act
Even Cui Wenxiu did not expect the Luzons to attack so swiftly and cleanly. Although he also expected that the Luzons might take advantage of the battle between his own side and the Hansen Allied Forces to launch an offensive, he did not either. Thinking that this wave of offensive from the Luzon people was so swift and decisive. The Luzon Army of the two corps hit Selms and Jaipurdu fiercely like two fists extending and retracting. These two quasi-territories of the empire were the weak underbelly of the empire, and Frederick and Kluf also saw this point. Now that the Punjab people and the Tang people are getting closer and closer, and they want to fall into the embrace of the Tang Empire, the voices of the Punjab tribe demanding that the Punjab become one of the empire are also getting stronger and stronger. The higher it is, and once Pangzha becomes one of the Tang Empire, the blade of the empire can be directly placed on the neck of the Kingdom of Luzon, so that the Kingdom of Luzon can feel the coolness of the blade every time it takes a deep breath.
Destroying the reputation that Datang has just established here seems to be a good choice. Although Frederick had some doubts about the large-scale Northern Expedition, he still quite agrees with this choice. At least it can avoid the elite counterattack of the Tang army , and it seems unlikely that the rangers of the Tang Army will be deployed in the Punjab territory. Even if they are deployed in this area, according to Frederick's prediction, as long as the Luzon Army can make a quick victory, they can return to Luzon after solving their strategic goals. Song territory.
It should be said that the Luzon people's attack on Zhaipudu was perfect. The empire did not station troops at Zhaipudu. According to the agreement reached by Xijiang and the high-level officials of the Punjabi, Xijiang did not station regular troops in the three cities of Punjab. , the defense of the three places is under the responsibility of the Punjab New Army established under the guidance of Xijiang, but with the development of the situation. Although the Punjab New Army was established, its scale has shrunk greatly. Out of 100,000 people, only 50,000 were named the Punjab New Army, while the remaining 50,000 people were included in the garrison and defense forces. The main force of the army marched westward to Lahore, and the remaining 20,000 new Punjab troops were also stationed at Selms, and only 30,000 garrison troops were stationed at Jaipurdu.
Although it was reminded by Selms, the Punjab New Army had not had time to formally take over the garrison defense force. The Luzons crossed the northern frontier towards Jaipurdu and Selms. The garrison at Jaipurdu collapsed after only a short and ineffective resistance.
The fourth corps of Luzon royal family undertook the attack on Jaipur Ferry, a fast corps with quite old qualifications in the Kingdom of Luzon and a good record. It used southern ponies to form a considerable transport vehicle. It is still unable to compare with Datang's quick response division. However, compared with the original situation, it has been greatly improved. At least in this battle, the Luzon Fourth Corps fully demonstrated their combat effectiveness, flexible and quick attack ability, and powerful strike ability. However, the Luzon people came prepared and quickly captured the not steep and strong city walls, and the weak psychological quality of the garrison troops exposed in actual combat also made it impossible for the troops to resist. It can be said that Zhaipudu fell overnight.
But the attack on Selms unexpectedly ran into trouble. When the attack of the Luzon Seventh Corps reached the outskirts of Selms. It was just in time for the 20,000 new Punjab troops who had just moved from the city outside the city. The new Punjab army had also been warned in advance that the Luzon army had crossed the border, so it was not too surprising to face this kind of attack. The two sides had almost no words, and they were on the plain five miles outside the city of Selms. A scuffle ensued.
Although the Luzon people used the southern pony to carry out reforms in the mode of transportation, they were unable to use this kind of pony for cavalry arming. It can only be used for transportation and cannot bear the cavalry. This has always been a hidden pain for the top military in Luzon. It is also the biggest weakness of the Luzon army. Fortunately, in the middle mainland, except for the Indian country, which is dominated by the great plains, the rest of the region is mostly a mixed area of plains, hills and mountains. The frequency of cavalry is not high, and the effect is not obvious. So at this point, Luzon people can barely accept it.
The melee on the outskirts of Selms turned into an infantry battle, with 30,000 Luzon infantry fighting 20,000 Punjab infantry. The infantry of the Punjah New Army lined up in a neat infantry phalanx tenaciously resisted the Luzon Army's second offensive. They never expected that the Indians, whom they had never looked down upon, would have such an army with a neat lineup and good performance. The Luzon Army, which formed a wedge-shaped attack wave, encountered a resolute attack in the thick infantry phalanx inserted into the Punjab New Army. The soldiers of the Punjab New Army, inspired by the officers' slogan "For Glory", broke out with extraordinary passion. They did not give up an inch and did not retreat half a step. I've had a hard time.
The crescent knife specially designed for the soldiers of the Punjah New Army, which conforms to the habits of the Punjah people, also exerted great power in this kind of close combat. This kind of scimitar is different from the full-moon scimitar originally used by Indian warriors. The blade is shorter. Although the solitary line is beautiful, it is not suitable for fighting on the battlefield, and it is also different from the one used by Tang army infantry. The long knives, plain knives and floating knives, Indians are more accustomed to using knives with a certain radian, so combined with national habits and practical effects in combat, the Xijiang Science and Technology Department at that time specially developed and designed this kind of knives suitable for Indians. The Crescent Knife combines the needs of the two aspects, and has also won unanimous praise from the soldiers of the Punjab New Army.
The Crescent Knife can show its power better in this kind of close combat. It can be picked, teased, cut, and chopped from various angles. Infantry warfare is extremely practical, but in the face of the infantry of the Eastern and Western Continents, the heavy armored infantry who mainly use spears and spears will encounter heavy losses. Therefore, when equipping this weapon, the Technology Department also submitted a report opinion on this.
However, in the first infantry battle with the Luzons, the Punjah New Army showed its strengths. This kind of confrontation between lightly armored infantry not only tests the morale, training, and experience of the soldiers, but also tests the soldiers However, the Punjab New Army, which has a certain upper hand in terms of morale and equipment, is far inferior to the Luzon Army in terms of training and experience. Gradually lost, the Luzon Army not only surpassed the Punjab New Army in number, but also their experience and courage. Faced with the death and collapse of their comrades, the soldiers of the Luzon Army who had been slaughtered did not have much emotion. Too much experience has made them accustomed to such things, and they understand that only by killing the enemy can they ensure their own survival.
Although the soldiers of the Punjah New Army have undergone considerable training, after all, this kind of face-to-face life-and-death struggle is still a bit unacceptable for quite a few of them, especially when they see their comrades who get along day and night screaming. Falling in front of me, anger, fear, and anxiety will be mixed, which will inevitably affect the morale of the entire army. Many veterans and officers who have experienced wars will encourage stability in the middle, but after all, this is a An army that has never been tested by a real war must pass such a test if it wants to grow into a qualified army.
As a graduate of the Northwest Military Academy, Radu quickly noticed the change in the situation. In fact, he had already expected this situation. It can't be compared with the Luzon Army that has been fighting for a long time, not to mention that it is still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Apart from occupying a favorable location, the Punjab New Army does not have any advantages.
But he also knows that his queen is the newly developed city of Selms. If he backs down, whether this new city will be destroyed by the Luzon people, he doesn't know, but he just grows The Punjab people on this land, the 20,000 new Punjab troops under him are all Punjab men who live on this land, even if they know it is impossible, Radu also hopes that the new Punjab army can pass through this land. Fighting to establish the reputation of the Punjab New Army ~IndoMTL.com~ Even if it is with your own blood, you will not hesitate. At the same time, he also has a hope, that is, should he also take into account the possible surprise attack on Selms by the Luzon Army and make preparations? If this is what I expected, then as long as I can persist for a few hours, I may be able to create an excellent opportunity for annihilating this lonely Luzon army that has penetrated deeply.
Facing the main general and the two long-awaited commanders in person and rushing to the front line, the soldiers of the Punjah New Army, who had been gradually overwhelmed by the opponent, broke out again. A ten thousand captain fought head-on with the enemy in front of the battle formation, holding his scimitar high and crying blood, even the cowardly soldier couldn't help the blood rushing up and his eyes turning red. This is a burst of anger, a distraction, and a pulse of soul Well, if an army does not have this spirit, this distraction, this pulse soul, then no matter how much training this army does, it will not be able to become an upright army!
Facing the sudden resurgence of passion and courage from the Punjab people, the Luzon people were obviously not prepared. Their bravery also made them feel unbelievable. Is this the same as the original invincible Indian army? Especially after the morale of this army has been successfully suppressed, the opponent has regained his fighting spirit and fought desperately. This kind of performance is not surprising if it appears on a Tang army, but it is worth thinking about when it appears on an Indian army. up.
