Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Ding Ding’s 60th curtain call
The silence of the imperial capital did not affect the changes in the situation elsewhere. Tie Longping's First Division was spotted by Zhebu's scouts from the Third Ranger Regiment shortly after leaving the city, but Zhebu did not Immediately launch an offensive. According to Cui Shuai's arrangement, the First Division is already in the bag. If there is no other army to respond, the more than 100 miles from the imperial capital to Cangzhou will be the Yanwang Road of the First Division. After walking more than a hundred miles, one must choose the right time to mobilize the two divisions stationed on the outskirts of Cangzhou to annihilate them. This battle is truly perfect. In order for the Cangzhou Garrison to reinforce the intercepted First Division, the Cangzhou Garrison must see hope. If the Cangzhou Garrison is too far away from Cangzhou City, the Cangzhou Garrison would not dare to take such a risk under the current situation. Therefore, the first division can only be bitten close enough to Cangzhou City to provide conditions for the main army to encircle and wipe out. Only in this case can the real purpose of this battle be truly achieved.
Why doesn't Tie Longping understand this point? The mobility of the Xijiang Rangers is world-renowned. The distance from the imperial capital to Cangzhou is not far or close. It was an extremely difficult two days. Although Tie Longping told Yusuf on the surface that he would set off at dawn, in fact, the first division had already started to move out as soon as the city guards entered the city. It is best to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to return north quickly timing. He knew that the Xijiang Rangers might have been waiting near Cangzhou to find traces of his First Division, but he had no choice. The situation in Cangzhou was already at stake, and he knew that this was a road paved with thorns. But you have to go forward bravely.
Tie Longping was very surprised by the rapid march without any hindrance for two consecutive days. Seeing that the city of Cangzhou was in sight, it was only less than 30 miles away to reach the city of Cangzhou. Could it be that the Xijiang army really ignored all this? Tie Longping didn't believe that Cui Wenxiu would be so careless. Even if some of the hundreds of thousands of rangers entered the territory of Beiping to raid, they still had enough troops to deal with him. But the situation before him was reality, but Tie Longping had a premonition , maybe the mutation will appear in this short thirty miles. On the one hand, he kept urging his army to speed up. On the one hand, Tie Longping also sent additional scouts to expand the search area, trying to find out the situation earlier, although deep down in his heart he hoped that nothing would happen.
But the desperate look of the scouts who returned soon brought Tie Longping back to reality, what should come will always come, and the Xijiang people chose to officially launch the siege near the city of Cangzhou. There seems to be a more vicious idea in the middle. Tie Longping has already realized Cui Wenxiu's intentions, and the tactic of encircling the spot to fight for aid has been learned and used here, and even in order to mobilize the Cangzhou garrison, the opponent dared to put himself three meters away from the Cangzhou prefectural city. Only ten miles away did he sacrifice his life, so the bet was not small.
Although the city of Cangzhou is right in front of you, your reason tells Tie Longping that he can't go any further, he can only form an formation on the spot, otherwise the rangers from all directions will immediately put his first division in a desperate situation , Infantry cannot compete with Rangers without forming a phalanx. What's more, in the state of exercise, it is even more self-defeating.
Regarding the performance of the First Division, Zhebu had to admit that Cui Shuai's previous warning was quite reasonable. This is a force that should not be underestimated. In such a short period of time to adjust and deploy, the opponent can immediately form a targeted formation to deal with it. Its high speed and efficiency amazed Jeb, and he could hardly find any loopholes. No wonder he was able to boast that he was the number one army in the world. Fortunately, Cui Shuai has made clear his purpose, and he should not provoke easily when he can't find a breakthrough. For a mixed division like the First Division, which has both offense and defense, it is not easy to eat it easily. Have enough patience.
The three ten thousand cavalry teams immediately deployed according to the strategy that had been formulated, and one ten thousand cavalry team was in charge of guarding the periphery. To prevent external enemies from responding, the other Wanqi team is divided into several attack groups and launches small-scale offensives around the opponent to harass the opponent in turn, forcing the opponent to have to be in a highly tense situation all the time, while the other Wanqi team keeps investing at any time. The fighting posture made the opponent not dare to relax in the slightest. As long as there is a slight loophole, you can immediately launch an assault on the battlefield in order to obtain ideal results. This arrangement makes the entire First Division always under high pressure, and you can neither escape nor get the necessary rest. If this situation continues If it goes down, the First Division has almost no possibility of winning.
The rangers running around his division almost made Tie Longping gnash his teeth with hatred. Tie Longping was very clear about what these guys were up to. Constantly harassing and attacking, this kind of asymmetrical battle Almost these rangers who roll all day on horseback in the grassland are best at, and this is precisely what the standard infantry division of their first division suffers the most. Insufficient mobility and lack of counterattack force make their division from one He fell into a situation of being passively beaten from the very beginning, and he couldn't even find a chance to fight back, so he could only respond passively like this, and Tie Longping was even sure that at this time, Cui Wenxiu might be fully attacking the Third Army in his hands. Push forward here to encircle and wipe out your own division, but you seem to have no choice, you can't walk away, you can't defend, is this the end of your division?
He doesn't know what His Royal Highness King Yan thinks about thirty miles away. Although there are three divisions stationed in Cangzhou City, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Northern Army are far from being comparable to those of the Western Frontier Army. Do you still have the ability to rescue your own division? Tie Longping didn't believe it, he would only fall into a bigger encirclement circle of the Western Frontier Army, maybe Cui Wenxiu was thinking about this.
Tie Longping guessed right, Situ Tai was also full of melancholy at this time, Tie Longping's first division was stopped by Xijiang's rangers at a place less than 30 miles away from Cangzhou City Well, even though Situ Tai is not very proficient in military affairs, he also sees that this is a trap, and this trap also makes it clear that he will let himself get into it. If he does not rescue this most cherished First Division in time, even this No matter how strong the division's combat effectiveness is, it will probably be swallowed up by the Western Frontier Army, which is best at winning the few with the most. Once they rush to the rescue, the powerful ranger troops of the Western Frontier Army may turn the reinforcements into hordes. The second division of Tie Yongping, this is undoubtedly an endless abyss, no matter how many troops he throws, it will swallow it up.
Standing in front of the mirror, Situ Tai suddenly realized that the haggard and withered man in the mirror was actually himself. He couldn't believe his eyes. Not long ago, the prince of the empire who boasted of being graceful and elegant turned out to be himself. Like this? Standing blankly in front of the mirror, Situ Tai's mind was full of thoughts. Could it be that all he pursued was just to get a decent resignation that he didn't even care about before? Could this be the result of his painstaking efforts for so many years?
Seeing handfuls of hair falling off the pillow, Situ Tai no longer had the pride and vigor of the past in his heart, and suddenly he even felt that all this was so boring, so what if he won this battle , Isn't it just to get a road to the wild like Situ Biao? Fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps, did I really fall into a situation where I needed to use these methods to save face? Situ Tai was plagued by infinite worries, and for a moment he became a little crazy. The hero of the whole empire in the north and east of the empire has now ended up in such a situation. Does he still want to seek a so-called decency? To cover up all that you have lost? When the news of the imperial capital's change of flag finally reached Situ Tai who had been depressed all the time, Situ Tai pushed aside all affairs and locked himself in his room. Perhaps it was time for the curtain call, as it was no longer suitable for the extra people to appear in his absence It's time to appear on stage.
Cui Wenxiu, who had just arrived at Cangzhou city in time, was stunned by a series of things before she had time to arrange everything. The city gate of Cangzhou has been opened wide, and Zhao Chenghuai, Situtai's special envoy, who is known as one of the four kings of the Northern Army, is already waiting for him. Cui Wenxiu even wonders if the other party is trying to delay the attack~IndoMTL.com~ But when Zhao Chenghuai has no reservations When she told all of this frankly, Cui Wenxiu was left with nothing but sadness.
Situ Tai has become a monk and practiced Taoism! After explaining all the funeral affairs, Situ Tai sadly became a monk at the prestigious Zhunti Temple in Cangzhou. Before he became a monk, he entrusted everything to his last confidant, Zhao Chenghuai. All he asked for was to treat the Northern Army who had followed him and fought for him for many years.
All this happened so suddenly that even Zhao Chenghuai, who introduced all this to Cui Wenxiu, didn't know what made his lord sad. He also admitted that the situation had collapsed to the point of irreversibility, but he still did not expect that his lord would end all this in this way.
Cui Wenxiu could not decide the fate of Situ Tai, who had already become a monk, and things that needed to be done immediately could not be delayed. The garrison, as well as the Tie Longping Division, who wanted to fight to the death and seek fame, had to lay down their weapons in a tragic mood. The dawn of peace finally came to the entire northern part of the empire. Everyone thought that there would be a battle of life and death. The **** battle can really end, but all of this is solved because of Situ Tai's bizarre monkhood, and the long-lost peace and vitality finally ushered in the long-lost Northland
