Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 38: The Beacon is Rolling (8)

Looking blankly at the rout from the right wing, the Tik soldiers, who were as brave as lions just now, suddenly turned into frightened yellow sheep at this moment, dropping their weapons one after another, turning around and running back. It developed into a full-scale collapse in just half an hour. The remaining hundreds of thousands of troops spread across the entire eastern Boluo Plain like a flood. The defeated soldiers were scattered everywhere in a radius of tens of miles. Kadmid was like a fossil. Standing blankly on the chaotic battlefield, letting the chaotic army lead him to run around until he was captured, like a fool, he only chanted one sentence: "For the sake of the mountain, I will fall short!"

This battle took place on the eastern plain of Polo Province in the Indian Kingdom. Because a cliff on a nearby hill was made of red sandstone, it looked extremely dazzling. The locals called it the Red Wall. This area belongs to the Senge Plain. Part of the flat land is also called the Red Wall Plain, and this battle that rewritten the history of the Indian Kingdom is called the "Red Wall War" by mainland historians. The Battle of the Red Wall lasted less than a day, and the specific time should be less than eight hours. However, this battle was the most intense of all battles since the Northwest Army entered the Senge Plain. 30,000 people, plus the vanguard battalion that was wiped out in the early stage and the 30,000 partial divisions that were wiped out in Kashhar, Tik's 200,000 Eastern Front Army only had 10,000 people left behind in the occupied area, and the rest were all wiped out.

The Red Wall War remembered a period of history, and also rewritten the history of the two tribes and even the entire Indian nation. In the northern war situation, it changed from offense to defense, from prosperity to decline.

On May 2, 698 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, after defeating the Kashhartik army, the Northwest Army on the central line marched westward. It was too late to hide the momentum and swept through Danji Province. On May 4, the Northwest Army of the Central Road, under the guidance of the local garrison, regained Jeddah, the capital of Danji Province. On May 6th, the Mott cavalry, who had rested for a day, launched an attack again. It took only three days to wipe out the small group of Tik troops entrenched in the province of Amman. On May 11, the entire province of Amman was restored. The city lord of Nicobar City, the capital, and his garrison, together with the local people, happily held a ceremony to welcome foreign troops into the city for the second time within a month.

And just when the Red Wall War kicked off, the Tiksi Front Army also had its first battle in the central part of Wade Province with the Hyderabad Allied Army, which was in charge of defense and was dominated by the Kingdom's Third Guards Army. Field Marshal Zug personally commanded the battle. The two sides used all their forces to fight in the central plain of Wade Province. Although the Hyderabad coalition forces had a certain advantage in cavalry, Tick coach Ram had already expected the opponent's rigid tactics.

Kingdom Field Marshal Zug still followed the tradition, hoping to use his superior mail cavalry to break through the Tik's frontal defense line from the front, and then completely defeated the Tik people. Coach Tik was also aware of this, so he decided to plan and deploy 30,000 well-prepared thickly armored infantry as the first line of defense in the city, and then used 80,000 light infantry to build two backup lines of defense, during which a large number of mobile transport vehicles were loaded. The soil is built into chains as a support to strengthen defense capabilities. On the other hand, Ram did his best to place 30,000 light cavalry behind the left side, and took advantage of the slightly higher terrain on the left wing to wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

The battle proceeded according to Ram's design. Although the Hyderabads had an absolute advantage of 30,000 mail cavalry and 30,000 light armored cavalry, the Tik people were particularly tenacious under the supervision of a large number of warlords, and a large number of them were full of cavalry. The connection of dirt vehicles into a chain-shaped defensive belt also brought a lot of trouble to the Hyderabad cavalry. After breaking through the enemy's two lines of defense, the Hyderabad cavalry became the last of their strength. The weakness of the Indian cavalry's impermanence was exposed. The third line of defense formed by the Ticks with spears seemed hesitant, and at this time Marshal Zug realized that he had made a mistake and wanted to adjust his subordinates. It was already too late to remedy the situation.

Tik coach Ram put all his 30,000 light cavalry on the infantry group that assaulted the right flank of the Hyderabad people. The Tik cavalry, full of momentum, inserted deeply into Hyde like a huge wedge. In the Rabbah infantry group, the unsuspecting Hyderabad infantry line was shaken immediately. Marshal Zug, in a panic, tried to adjust the direction of attack, but this turned into chaos. The huge infantry phalanx changed from the front to the right. There was confusion as they moved, and the tik cavalry's fatal blow only made it worse. Chaos quickly turned into chaos. The cavalry group attacking the Tik infantry in the front also lost the desire to continue fighting after repeated breakthroughs to no avail. The defeat in both aspects quickly affected the changes in the entire battle situation. When the infantry group in the rear finally collapsed, the front The cavalry group also joined the ranks of fleeing, and there was no suspense in the whole battle situation.

The Battle of Wade announced the complete collapse of the last kingdom army capable of resisting, but it is a pity that it was a little later than the Battle of the Red Wall. The difference of one day is enough to decide many things. Before the Red Wall War, perhaps this blow was enough to completely crush the desperate Hyderabadi people. The Tik people could accept the Hyderabad people's surrender request without any suspense, and easily take over the central government. It is a pity that the Red Wall The first step of the Great Wall War spread to Moturaq Fort, and all the shadow of defeat was completely washed away by the great victory won by the Tanghe people. The Hyderabadi people who were about to raise their hands to surrender suddenly regained their confidence. The unfavorable news from the front line of Wade was completely overwhelmed by the news of the Kashhar victory on the center line and the annihilation of the Tik reserve army on the south line. The Tik people have completely lost the opportunity to politically force the Hyderabadi people to surrender.

At the same time, the Yakuan army, which had already entered the central province and Degu province, quickly retreated after learning of the decisive victory of the Tanghe army, staying in the two western regions that had already been occupied. In the province, the envoys sent to discuss with the Tik people how to carve up the territory of the Hyderabad people were urgently recalled halfway, and everything had to be done again.

On May 4, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, following the two provinces of Kashhar and Benga declared to be the protectorate of the Tanghe Empire's Western Frontier Protectorate, the Calais Province also announced that it would become the Western Frontier Protectorate The protected area, so far, the three northeastern provinces of the Indian Kingdom have declared to be the protected area of ​​the Xijiang Protectorate, and formally invited the Northwest Army to help quell and wipe out the uprising army of slaves and untouchables who are infested everywhere.

The news of the Battle of the Red Wall was like a blow to the head, and the coach Tik, who was still immersed in the joy of victory and looking forward to a bright future, was stunned. Ram couldn't accept such a cruel reality, and sent elite scouts to find out the detailed news. At the same time, Ram also cautiously gave up the pace of marching northward, and reduced his troops. The news sent back by Tan Ma confirmed this tragic result. When the Tanghe army recovered, Ram had calmed down to face this harsh reality, and the attack on the reserve army from the south made Ram even more uncomfortable.

The loss of Keshihar directly threatened the safety of Saiqin Province behind him. His troops were not as mobile as the Tanghe people. Will leave it all. Without any explanation or entanglement, Ram ordered all the troops to drop everything that could be discarded, and the hundreds of thousands of Tick troops who had achieved a complete victory in the Battle of Wade with impressive records retreated southward as if they had lost a battle. , In one breath, he fled from Wade Province to Sai Chin Province, and went straight south without even entering the capital of Sai Chin Province, until he retreated into his own territory before he could hold his ground. At this time, the Tubu cavalry led by Jeb had already turned over the entire Lahore province, and swaggered back to the Punjab territory.

At this point, the civil war in the entire Indian kingdom has come to an end, and only the rebel army in full swing is still fighting to the death with the Hyderabad local army that has regained confidence~IndoMTL.com~May 12th, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar Cui Wenxiu, who visited the city of Nicobar, the capital of the province of Amman, inspected military affairs, and as the full-fledged military representative of the Tanghe Empire's Western Frontier Protectorate stationed in the Central Mainland, he reviewed the two largest newspapers in the Indian Kingdom, "Northern Daily" and "Northern Daily". The Agra newspaper issued a statement demanding that the slaves and civilians who participated in the riots and commotions must surrender unconditionally to the local government or the army. Violent measures, and on behalf of the Hyderabad allies, warned those who still have illusions and forces must withdraw from the land and wealth that does not belong to them in the shortest possible time, otherwise all consequences will be borne by the other party.

This conversation was published on the headlines of the "Northern Daily" and "Agra News" the next day, and it also caused a sensation in the entire Indian Kingdom, especially in the last sentence that seemed to mean something. It is extremely rich, not only including all those who participated in the riots and obtained ill-gotten gains, but also vaguely referring to the Tik and Yakuans who have seized huge wealth from the Hyderabad people.

This conversation was regarded as the beginning of Northwest's involvement in the affairs of the entire Indian Kingdom, and it was also regarded as Li Wufeng's first step into the vast middle continent to fight for hegemony. Although both the Western Regions and the East Tengger Grassland belong to the Central Continent geographically, from a cultural and historical point of view, they have a deeper relationship with the Eastern Continent, especially the Tanghe Empire, while the Northern Luzon and Punjab territories Its influence is far from being compared with that of the entire Indian Kingdom. Entering Northern Luzon and the Punjab territory can only be used as a prelude, and the step of actually stepping the army into the hinterland of the Senge Plain shows Li Wufeng's intention to set foot in the Central Continent. Ambition and ambition.
