Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 98: Doubt

After pondering for a while, Ling Tianfang finally made up his mind. It seems that he has to pay for this battle. This kind of confrontation in the open field is originally the Luobei people's forte, but now I have no choice. If the number of troops in my hand is more than that of the Luobei people, but my side is forced to take a defensive position. The enemy is strong The cavalry is too much beyond our own side, and there are too many positions that our side needs to guard against. This kind of passive defense is the lowest level of defense, but now we can't use the baton to turn around, so we have to spend a lot of money to let them take the bait , as the saying goes, if you don't want your child to be caught by a wolf, you don't want to use this method.

"Jianguo, we have to be mentally prepared for this battle, I am afraid that the loss will exceed any one time, but we have no choice, if we want the Luobei people to follow us, we will gain something, if we want to hold back the enemy The only thing we can do is fight with our backs and fight hard.” Ling Tianfang’s voice was a little low, obviously also thinking of the cruelty of his own plan, exchanging the loss of the army for the safety of the people seems to sound very grand, but In a real war, no one can do it. Who would like to see their army sacrificed for some insignificant ordinary people?

Kang Jianguo has already vaguely heard the general idea from the words of the director of military affairs who usually does not have much words. Although he still does not understand how to win this battle, at least he knows one thing, that is, absolutely not Let the Luobei cavalry flee into the northwest interior, and to do this, the opponent seems to have deliberately used the army as a bait to seduce the Luobei army to take the western Xinjiang army as the main target, but will it work? Kang Jianguo was a little skeptical, let alone whether he would concentrate all his troops on the bait, even if he put it on the bait, how much time would he gain? Now that the war on the Eastern Front is about to start, there will be no extra troops to draw west for a while, so this will have almost no effect except to let the Luobei people eat the bait calmly. They can still drive straight in after solving the bait. Afraid it would get worse.

"Lord Ling, are you planning to use Ying Jianming's three divisions as bait?" It is believed that whoever is entitled to privileges, that everyone is equal in the face of war, and whoever is more suitable for this position will take the position. There are no conditions to talk about.

"No, if you want to attract the Luobei people, Ying Jianming's three divisions are not enough. Tu Da has a big appetite. It is difficult to attract him with this force. I want your three divisions to First, take Ying Jianming's two divisions. In this way, almost all of our main forces in the Northwest will come out. As long as he can eat this bait, the six Northwest Prefectures will almost let him run freely. Is this kind of bait tasty enough? A rare smile finally appeared on Ling Tianfang's gloomy face. He was obviously quite confident in his plan, but it sounded like a thunderbolt from the clear sky to Kang Jianguo's ears.

"What?! Master Ling, what are you talking about? Let my three divisions be used as bait? Sir, are you kidding? How can we use our Terok Legion as bait? This is not acceptable, absolutely not!" Kang Jianguo was so anxious that his face flushed red all of a sudden.

"No? Presumptuous! Let me tell you, if you can do it, you have to do it, and if you don't, you have to do it. This is a military order!" Ling Tianfang's face darkened suddenly, and his tone became strict.

"Lord Ling, I'm not afraid of the loss of our army, but if you do this, what strength will we have to fight back? If you evacuate all our troops at once, what if the Luobei people don't take this trick and go straight to the northwest interior? Then how should we deal with it?" Kang Jianguo lowered his head in embarrassment, and realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly explained.

"That's not something you need to care about. You just need to think about how to delay this battle for as long as possible. All the consequences will naturally be borne by me." Ling Tianfang was no longer polite, and the tone of his words changed More and more serious.

In view of the increasingly tense situation in the northwest, Ling Tianfang announced an emergency decree on the first day he was in Qingyang, and the entire northwest entered a wartime state, preparing for the upcoming war. At the border, he also immediately issued a combat order. Except for the Fifth Division of the Fourth Imperial Army under Ying Jianming, the Qingyang Garrison Regiment, and the cadets of the Northwest Military Academy to be responsible for the defense of Qingyang City, the rest of the five troops in his hands The division is divided into two arrows and advances westward respectively, and is stationed on the western border to form a defensive formation.

The strange appearance put on by the Western Frontier Army calmed down the already impatient Luobei people. In Tu Da's view, this is undoubtedly a replica of another war on this land many years ago. It was on this land that he led his army to defeat the Tanghe Empire's army led by Situ Mingzhi and wiped out more than 100,000 enemies in one fell swoop. , but Li Wufeng took the opportunity to pick up a fallen peach because of his own carelessness, and now the people of Xijiang put on this strange posture again. Have they forgotten their lessons or think that they are fully capable in the field? Beat your own side?

This bizarre behavior of the Xijiang Army made the Luobei people hesitate. Even Tu Da himself was a little uncertain what the Xijiang people's intentions were for putting on such a posture, and seeing their appearance in the Tuqi Plain Tu Da was even more apprehensive about rushing forward to dig ditches and set up camp as if he was going to fight a protracted war. Could it be that Li Wufeng's reinforcements have arrived in the northwest?

"What did you say?" Tu Da was taken aback, and slapped the table with a sharp voice.

"Uh, Commander, this is the information that our intelligence personnel obtained from the enemy. The four cavalry regiments of the Tanghe people have already been operating in Qingyang, but their whereabouts are very secretive, and we cannot know the specific whereabouts. And their First Army Corps is rushing to Qingyang overnight, and it is estimated that they should be able to reach Qingyang within a week." The intelligence officer was so nervous that his lips turned white, and the enemy's situation suddenly changed so much. The intelligence chief has only grasped it now, and there are indeed some suspicions of dereliction of duty.

"Where did these four cavalry regiments come from?" Trying to calm down, Tu Da carefully asked about the details, "Hasn't Li Wufeng's first and third cavalry regiments already infiltrated into the Western Regions? Besides, the Li Wufeng you mentioned Another two cavalry regiments have also returned to the northwest, which two cavalry regiments are they?"

"Marshal Hui, it should be the 4th and 5th Cavalry Regiment. They returned from the Central Plains. Our intelligence personnel on the front line of Zhegu Pass saw it with their own eyes." The intelligence officer was quite sure of this.

Tu Da fell into contemplation. The reason why Ling Tianfang put on such a passive and beaten situation naturally he couldn't think of the real reason. The army made sacrifices for the benefit of the people. This is even more so in Luo Beiren's mind. In their view, the people should give everything for the army to win the battle, and Tu Da is no exception. He can only infer from whether Ling Tianfang has other tricks. The humble old opponent is now, and the people of Tanghe have been defeated in this land, so he will not be so reckless and presumptuous.

The only possibility is that the Tanghe people wanted to put on this decisive battle stance on the Tuqi Plain, pretending to be empty in the interior to lure their own army into the interior, and then use his four cavalry regiments of more than 100,000 soldiers The force of people and the right place to destroy his own vitality, although Tu Da didn't think about how Tanghe people set up an ambush in the interior of Qingyang to ambush his own army for a while, but he believed that since Ling Tianfang dared to do this, he must be sure, Ling Tian Fang is not a bold and reckless person, never has been, this is the conclusion drawn by Tu Da after careful analysis of Ling Tian's performance under Li Wufeng's command for so many years. Style~IndoMTL.com~Tu Da smiled slightly, Ling Tianfang was clever but was misunderstood by his cleverness, he ambushed four ranger regiments in the rear and waited for him to take the bait, but he didn't think that he had plenty of time, and he could be here right here There is a war of attrition between Qi Pingyuan and his main army. Tuqi Plain has always been his blessed land, and perhaps history will repeat itself here. For many years, the purpose of trying their best was to show the proud infantry phalanx of Tanghe people the power of Luobei's iron cavalry.

It is not without reason that Tu Dazhi has such great self-confidence. Since the repeated wars, especially the war with the Tanghe people, the Luobei light cavalry lost troops in front of the Tanghe people's infantry phalanx, especially the heavy infantry phalanx. And the crude armored cavalry also had little effect in front of Li Wufeng's heavy infantry armed with Gaoyue people. Tu Da, who had already served as the leader of the western expedition, began to improve the iron armored cavalry under his command, while Luo Bei continued to improve. The financial situation also provided considerable support for his improvement, coupled with the encouragement of the great chief, it should be said that Tu Da's reform on the armored cavalry was quite successful. The original simple mail armor was replaced by authentic iron leaf armor, and the horses also wore Putting on heavy horse armor, the traditional ordinary spears were also replaced by regular armored cavalry spears, coupled with the strict military discipline training of cavalry instructors hired from the Western Continent, this armored cavalry already had the taste of a mighty army.

An army that does not go into battle is never a real army. Tu Da has long been looking forward to a solid battle to test the armored cavalry he spent a lot of money on, but now Ling Tianfang puts out His formation is obviously contemptuous of his inability to break through his infantry defense line, maybe it's time to teach him a good lesson.
