Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 101 King…
The battle under the city of Fanlin was in full swing. Kamapov, who left Fanlin to inspect the defense in Yulin, took a breath. This put considerable pressure on the three border cities on the center line that Kamapov was in charge of. After all, the Kamans can be regarded as the leaders in the Liberian army. Their powerful armored cavalry is known as the number one cavalry in the Eastern Continent. The infantry is even more famous for being good at overcoming difficulties. Although there are quite a lot of troops at their disposal, in terms of quality, except for their own Fifth Army, which can be completely assured, it is difficult for the Fifteenth Army and the Terok Army to let them go. Kamapov sits back and relaxes.
After learning that the coalition forces of Doton and Puer on the eastern front may be moving eastward, Kamapov has aggravated his worries about Yulin. What is more, it is a scene of separate attacks and joint attacks. Yulin and Yunzhong, the two cities with the worst urban defense conditions on the entire northern border, are the most likely targets of surprise attacks by the two armies. The line of the city should be the most convenient way for the runner-up to go south to the imperial capital. In addition, the defense system of the cities in Qinghe and even Heshuo in the south is far inferior to that in the northwest, so Kamapov is even more worried about this. If someone is breached within his own defense range, then he, the commander-in-chief of the so-called Panshi Army, will have no face to see that His Majesty the Emperor and the people are trivial, and it will be serious if he destroys the unified arrangement of the Northern Campaign of the Empire.
Just before they arrived at Yulin City, news came that the Kaman light cavalry had invaded Fanlin. Kamapov's first reaction was that his whereabouts were discovered by the enemy spies in Fanlin City. Although his whereabouts were very secret, after all, he was the commander of the center line, and some people would definitely know about his whereabouts when he left Fanlin City. It seems that Kaman The latent power of people in Fanlin City still has a lot of influence. However, these matters are all matters for the Imperial Security Bureau to deal with. What Kamapov is most worried about now is whether Sang Sheng, who has just served as the deputy commander of the Fifth Army, can bear this heavy responsibility. Once it is too late to enter the state and Fan Lin is broken, the entire center line will be quite passive.
Kamapov, who stayed in Yulin City, only had time to stay for one night. After a hasty inspection of Yulin City's defensive deployment, he quietly marched towards Fanlin City non-stop, but the overwhelming army of Kamanians overwhelmed the entire city. Fanlin City was surrounded by tens of miles, and Kaman's light cavalry were even active within a hundred miles outside Fanlin City, posing as if they wanted to swallow Fanlin in one go.
After learning that Fanlin City had withstood the first day of the Kaman offensive, Kamapov felt relieved. As long as he can survive the first day safely, it means that Sang Sheng He has fully adapted to his current role as commander-in-chief. With the support of two main divisions of the Fifth Army, one division of the Fifteenth Army of the Empire, and one Terok Corps, even if the Kamans have the ability to shake the sky, it is impossible for the Kamans to take down Fanlin City within three to five days. Now it's time for him to think about how to attack and weaken the Kamanians to relieve the pressure in Fanlin City.
The two ranger regiments immediately broke into the border of Fanlin and launched a frenzied attack on the Kamanians. The Kamanians had already been prepared for this. The 50,000 light cavalry, supported by the main force of the infantry behind them, launched a brutal battle with the Datang rangers. Although the Tang rangers are slightly better than the Kaman light cavalry in terms of combat effectiveness, after all, the Kamans have an army of more than 400,000 gathered around Fanlin City, and the Datang rangers can only use intermittent surprise attacks more often The Kamanian infantry carried out breakthroughs to achieve results, but with the additional constraints of the Kamanian light cavalry, this effect was also greatly limited. In more cases, the Datang rangers had to start a **** battle with the Kaman light cavalry, and this is exactly what the Kaman people hoped to achieve.
Kamapov is also aware of this, and the Kamans are now determined to adopt the nail pulling tactic. Concentrating superior forces to pull out Fanlin City and tear a big gap in the northern defense line of the empire. In this way, the attack and threat range of Kaman's army will expand exponentially, and they can even directly attack the territory of Zhongzhou in the southeast. But now Kamapov has no more countermeasures. If he rushes to Yulin, Jiama or Langshan to mobilize troops to attack together, it is exactly what the Kaman people want. This kind of fight back in the plains is where the troops have the upper hand. What the Kamanians expected, the 70,000 armored cavalry of the Kamanians could get a place to use them. On the plains around Fanlin, the 70,000 Camanian armored elites were a nightmare for the infantry. If the infantry did not have a complete and adequate position preparation, it would be a dead end for the infantry to challenge the heavy armored cavalry.
At this time, although Kamapov realized that the Kamanians might give up Yulin and Jiama, it was too late. He only had two Ranger regiments in his hands. Lincheng had to face the Kaman army several times larger than them alone. The only thing that made Kamapov feel a little more at ease was that the city defense system of Fanlin City had been quite perfect after his own deliberate management, and the Thunderbolt that was equipped in the later stage And poisonous smoke bombs can effectively play the role of blocking the enemy.
The huge pressure in Fanlin City began to manifest after the third day. The Kamanians' continuous wheel battles made the Fifth Army, which has always been the main defensive force, feel a little tired, especially the Kamanians. Instead of the original method of the Tang army, they used the commandos to carry out sneak attacks all night long at night. Once they were discovered, the sound of golden drums was heard, and they were changed to open attacks. Difficult, three days and three nights of tossing made the two divisions of the Fifth Army somewhat unable to support even if they were hard-working King Kong. The outstanding performance of the First Division of the Fifteenth Army of the Empire won the trust and respect of Sang Sheng, and the task of the General Reserve was officially handed over to the First Division of the Fifteenth Army of the Empire. At that time, the Third Teroc Corps (formerly Teroc Guard Corps) was finally ordered by Sang Sheng to take over the defense.
It should be said that the combat effectiveness of the Terok 3rd Corps is also the best among the three Terok Corps. Aware of the change of troops of the Tang army, they concentrated heavy troops and a large number of siege equipment to launch an offensive at the west gate. Taking advantage of the gap when the Terok Third Corps had not yet entered the state, they tore a big hole in the west gate at once, and rushed to the west gate at the most dangerous time. There were thousands of Kaman soldiers on the city wall. If Ji Feixia, the head of the First Division of the Fifteenth Imperial Army, hadn't decisively ordered the entire division to press on, and fought fiercely for more than an hour to wipe out these Kaman commandos, I'm afraid Fanlin City may be breached that day.
After giving Ji Feixia high praise, Sang Sheng also denounced the Third Terok Corps, and personally led the supervisory team to kill several panicked soldiers of the Terok Third Corps on the spot, and ordered the Terok Third Corps to withdraw from the army. Middle and senior military officers below the commander must come to the front line to command in person, and if they make any mistakes, they will be dealt with by military law.
The continuous three-day aggressive attack by the Kamanians caused a large reduction in the number of Terok Third Corps. In the afternoon of the third day, Reid, the commander of Terok Third Corps, almost knelt in front of Sang Sheng and begged Sang Sheng to give him an immediate response. Reinforcements were made to leave some seeds for the Terok 3rd Corps. Under the high-intensity impact of the Kamanians, the Terok 3rd Corps suffered heavy blows on the four walls. The huge casualties made Reid unbearable several times. Witnessing that, if things go on like this, the Terok Third Corps will really disappear completely under the knives of the Kamans.
Of course, Sang Sheng knows the pros and cons of this, but the Terok troops have not experienced cruel battles for a long time. Locke troops come to consume the energy of the Kamanians. On the one hand, they can train the Teroks, and on the other hand, they can also win more rest time for the Fifth Army.
When the Third Terok Corps was agreed to withdraw, there were only less than 12,000 of the 30,000 troops~IndoMTL.com~ and most of them were injured to varying degrees. The interim commander who just took office was full of resentment. Although he would not do anything irrational at this critical moment, the hatred deep in his heart was firmly in his heart.
Sang Sheng didn't have the mood to pay attention to Red's dissatisfaction at all. When the Terok Third Corps retreated, he ordered the reserve soldiers in Fanlin City to be added to the Terok Third Corps immediately. These local soldiers faced family ruin and death. Compared with other soldiers, this situation can arouse the fighting spirit more, especially knowing that under such circumstances, the day when the city is destroyed is the time when the entire Fanlin City will face **** and massacre. After this bitter struggle, those of the Terok Third Corps can be regarded as the brave people who came out of the **** corpse mountain. This force was not much worse than the original Terok 3rd Corps.
The Fifth Army, which was re-entering the battlefield, quickly stabilized the crumbling line of defense, but the First Division of the Fifteenth Army, as a reserve team, suffered a lot during the three days of assisting the Terok Third Army to defend. , the lack of sufficient reserve troops made Sang Sheng feel a little headache again. Fortunately, Fanlin City is now an important stronghold of the Snow Mountain Sect, the Kongtong Sect, and the Tianshan Sect. All the disciples in Fanlin City, regardless of gender, recruited to join the First Division of the Fifteenth Legion, there were also three or four hundred of them, and they talked about the shortage of troops.
