Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 4 Fighting wits and courage (1)

Ling Tian was relieved, could it be that the Luobei people really launched an attack? While thinking about it, but with thick eyebrows raised sharply, he asked in a deep voice, "Quickly tell me the details of the battle."

"My lord, at five o'clock in the morning today, the northern camp was attacked by the enemy's heavy armored cavalry. The estimated number was about 5,000, and there were about 10,000 infantry trailing behind. Our army immediately launched a counterattack, but the enemy heavily The mounted cavalry were quite fierce. They broke through many fences and walls in the North Camp, and filled up the trenches about 1,000 meters in front of the North Camp. Our army organized an effective defense. One of the light infantry regiments suffered a large loss. Afterwards, our army organized a counterattack. The enemy Withdrew; at 5:30 in the morning, the southern camp was also attacked by the enemy's heavy cavalry of about 10,000 people. The enemy once broke through the outer defense line of the southern camp and fought fiercely with my heavy infantry regiment in the southern camp. Half an hour later , the enemy retreated, and my heavy infantry regiment suffered relatively large losses. The specific losses are still being counted."

The commanding soldier was very eloquent, and his words were clear and structured, and he explained the situation clearly in a few words.

The fourth division of the Terok Legion was in charge of the defense of the northern camp, while the fifth division of the Terok Legion was in charge of the defense of the southern camp. Both divisions were once broken through by the enemy's heavy cavalry, which made Ling While Tian Fang was ecstatic in his heart, he also felt a little worried. The enemy began to use heavy cavalry to launch a tentative attack. This proves that the big fish of the Luobei people has already bit the bait, and the focus of the attack is finally on the goal of destroying the main force of their own army. This also proves that their empty city strategy has finally worked. As a result, the main force of the Luobei cavalry was finally attracted to the war of attrition, but the enemy's armored cavalry was so fierce that Ling Tianfang was secretly startled. He seemed to be able to imagine how the Luobei cavalry surrounded his divisions like crazy Cannibalization, this kind of passive defense in the wild is the most clumsy defensive method, but I have no choice. If I want to prevent the Luobei people from breaking into the interior, I have to put this bait a little heavier. It is only at this time that Ling Tianfang really understands the meaning. Regardless of whether he can stick to the end of his plan with only tens of thousands of horses in his hands, one thing Ling Tianfang can be sure of is that this war will definitely make the Terok Legion more energetic. hurt.

But at this time, Ling Tian couldn't say anything in front of Kang Jianguo, the head of the Terok Legion. In any case, the big fish biting the bait is a happy event worth celebrating, at least strategically, the goal has been achieved. As for How the bait used to lure the enemy can turn the bait into a hook that is difficult for the Luobei people to swallow? This will test the defensive combat power of the Terok Legion and the fighting will of the officers and soldiers. On this point, Ling Tian Fang couldn't help anything, so he could only rely on Kang Jianguo and the others. The only thing Ling Tianfang can do is to put the armed Mott and Tubu reserve cavalry on Luobei's flanks as much as possible, and try his best to reduce the impact pressure of Luobei on the front line of defense. Whether it can play the expected role, Ling Tianfang is not too sure in his heart, and ultimately depends on the Terok Legion itself.

"Jianguo, the fish has bitten the bait. Now it depends on your legion. Whether you can persist until the end depends on the performance of your soldiers. Although the attack time of the Luobei people is later than we expected Two days, but judging from the strength of their attack today, I am afraid it has exceeded our expectations. It seems that Tu Da has put a lot of effort into their heavy cavalry. We need to be prepared for worse. I am afraid that the cruelty and difficulty of the First World War will far exceed our original expectations." Ling Tianfang glanced at the head of the Terok Legion who seemed to have not reacted to the fact that the enemy broke through the defense lines of the North and South Battalions, and said in a low voice. The tone warned the other party.

"Lord Ling, Jianguo has this mental preparation. The Luobei people are not vegetarians. Since they dared to send out a large army to provoke this time, they naturally have something to rely on. However, our Terok Army has also fought against countless old troops. , I have experienced a lot of ups and downs, I believe that the Lian Kaman people did not get a little favor from us, and the Luobei people will not do it either. I, Kang Jianguo, am going to lay down the 180 catties on this Tuqi plain. If other Luobei people want to cross here, he has to step over my body, Kang Jianguo." At this time, Kang Jianguo may have seemed calmer after being stimulated, but the determination revealed in his words was beyond doubt.

Ever since the order to temporarily abandon the three capitals of East Tengger County, Zhou Tinggui, the governor of East Tengger County, has become even busier. There is one remaining goal, which is to expel these Luobei people from the territory of East Tengger County in the shortest possible time, restore the economic development of East Tengger County as soon as possible, and as the commander-in-chief of the entire Western Front Theater, give him this thing. The only task of the governor of Tengger County is to mobilize the Mote and Tubu reserve cavalry in the two places of Huahua Mansion and Daqingshan Mansion, and form a troop that can immediately go into battle as quickly as possible to assist Zhou Tinggui in carrying out this task. Those who worked were hundreds of cavalry veterans and officers drawn from several Ranger regiments.

Zhou Tinggui thought that the early ideological work was quite in place. Since then, his main task has shifted to the primary task of mobilizing and organizing the Mott and Tubu cavalry and providing them with various material support. Well, it should be said that this work has been carried out very smoothly. Out of envy for the generous treatment received by the soldiers of the Western Frontier Army, this temporary recruiting work quickly recruited more than 60,000 riders. This is Zhou Tinggui's opinion The situation is not good. After raising the recruitment standard three times in a row, it is still unable to stop this wave of military votes. After that, it has to announce the result of suspending the recruitment of soldiers.

A large number of poor herdsmen from Luobei who originally conquered the east also asked for the qualification to join the army, but Zhou Tinggui politely rejected this proposal after careful consideration, although this way of using the cavalry from the east of Luobei against the cavalry of other Luobei tribes could Forcing the Eastern Conquest to be more thoroughly tied to Western Xinjiang, but considering the importance of this battle, Zhou Tinggui would rather choose a more secure method, not to mention that the upsurge of Mote and Tubu herdsmen to join the army has exceeded his own. It is expected that the soldiers and horses recruited far exceeded the bottom line of 40,000 that he had set in advance.

Of course, Zhou Tinggui also had to temporarily sign the largest debt since he took office. The emergency collection of as many as 100,000 horses and a large number of weapons cost as much as 12 million imperial gold coins. I don’t know how many years it will take to pay off the arrears from the East Tengger County Treasury. Fortunately, with the order of the Director of Military Affairs as the backing, Zhou Tinggui also seemed confident when he signed the arrears. As for who should pay for the temporary war expenses after the war, should it be disbursed from the annual military expenditures of the Military Affairs Administration, or from the unexpected emergency funds of the Finance Department of the Government Administration Administration, or East Tengger and Northwest Counties? The financial responsibility of the two counties and county governments has become a no-brainer case that has been quarreling endlessly after the war. The Secretary of Finance claimed that the expenditure was not approved by His Royal Highness King Qin, but that the Military Affairs Administration had agreed to the expenditure and requested that the expenditure be deducted from the annual military expenditure of the Military Affairs Administration. The Secretary will jointly bear the financial responsibility of the two counties of Northwest County and East Tengger County, and East Tengger County and Northwest County resolutely disagree to bear the expenses that have nothing to do with them, so that the Financial Secretary James and the Director of Military Affairs Ling Tianfang even made a fuss over this.

Although the 60,000 newly recruited cavalry are not as good as the formally formed ranger regiments in terms of weapons and horses, the natural and excellent qualities of the nomads can be combined with a large group of temporarily drawn veterans and officers. Up and down, the scale of two ranger regiments has also initially formed. Although the combat effectiveness is still uneven, the task this time is not for them to confront the Luobei cavalry face-to-face. Harass and attack their logistics supply lines in the hinterland, and choose the right time to attack the Luobei East Expeditionary Army.

The formation of these two reserve ranger regiments had a far-reaching impact on this war, even the instigator Ling Tianfang never thought of it when he gave the order to form them. The rear of the army harassed and harassed, not only sneaking up on the storage points of food, fodder and supplies, but also often concentrated their forces to besiege Luobei's transport team and **** team, and even developed to launch harassment and sneak attacks on Luobei's camp. Tu Da's plan to send a small group of cavalry into the interior to attack the interior, which had an absolute advantage in troops, had to be shelved, and he turned to encircle and suppress the two bumpkin troops who had just converted from herdsmen to cavalry. It was the outstanding achievements of these two troops that won the opportunity to preserve the economic vitality of Qingyang, Yinchuan, and even the entire Northwest County, and made great contributions to defending the absolute prestige of His Highness King Qin in the Northwest.

Compared with the war on the Tuqi Plain, the war on the Western Regions front has been in full swing from the very beginning. Adhering to the commander's intention, Kurdo, who served as the commander of the Western Region Front Army, thoroughly implemented Tu Da's policy from the very beginning, concentrating his forces on attacking the thriving economy of the Western Region, especially those industries developed and operated by the Tang people in the five prefectures of the Western Region. In the first stage of combat, Kurdo's flexible tactics achieved quite good results. He divided the 100,000 cavalry into four attack groups. According to the configuration of 2224, two thousand cavalry formed an attack group. My own mobile advantage camera sweeps between one or two prefectures, and the attack core composed of four ten thousand cavalry is responsible for selecting those important targets to attack, such as specifically attacking those Xijiang troops who come out to fight, and When the strength is insufficient, one of the other three attack groups can even be summoned temporarily to concentrate their forces to launch an attack. This tactic has achieved quite good results in the initial two weeks. In the face of such a large-scale cavalry attack, the wing was canceled.

However, the Western Frontier Army quickly came up with a countermeasure. One or even two divisions formed a group as a challenge group. Taking advantage of the special geographical environment of the Western Regions, the desert and the Gobi were scattered all over the place, and there were not many convenient passages between the various prefectures. Choose main roads and passes to carry out blocking operations. Once the enemy's attacking group is found, immediately set up camp on the spot to organize a defensive counterattack, which also greatly reduces the effect of Kurdo's blitz strategy.

The stalemate in the battle once again put Kurdo in a distressed situation. These **** Tanghe people actually came up with such a stupid way. Although the Luobei cavalry did not suffer in this kind of battle, the Tanghe people The huge human resources are far beyond what our own nation can compare. If they lose one soldier, they will soon be able to replenish three, while they have traveled thousands of miles away, and if they lose one, they will be one. It's not cost-effective, and it's hard to hurt the opponent's vitality by concentrating all our efforts to find one or two divisions. This is quite unfavorable to our own side, which has not achieved its strategic goal as time goes by, unless finding a suitable target is heavy for the opponent. one strike. If time permits, I don't need to have such a headache, but those **** Mote and Tubu people seem to force me to take this risky move. The rear is frequently attacked and the supplies and supplies are often looted, which has affected the whole world. The normal operation of the army, although after knowing that those timid and humble guys are just some bumpkins gathered together, everyone on the grassland knows that once these guys gather together, they can exert unexpected power. Another reason for this annoyance.

While carefully reading the information sent by the scouts and the local intelligence department of the Western Regions, Kurdo's eyes wandered around the long strip map of the Western Regions. It should be said that the foundation of the intelligence agencies in the Western Regions is much stronger than that of the Western Regions. Li Wufeng's implementation of the Baojia Liansi policy in the Western Regions and the fanatical worship of him by the people made it difficult for the intelligence agencies to gain a foothold in the Western Regions. It is difficult to get into the middle and high-level to obtain valuable intelligence clues if you stand on your feet. This is something Kurdo deeply understands. He has been troubled by this since he was the deputy commander of the East. The information is hard to compare to the sky, and many things are obtained after a long time, and often at this time, the information has lost its due value. In the land of the Western Regions, although the Luobei tribe, which had occupied a strong position for a long time, was temporarily pulled down from its hegemony, the dominance established for decades still left a lot for the current Luobei tribe. Inheritance, the long-term awe of the strong has enabled their own nation to find partners in this land. Maybe they dare not openly challenge Li Wufeng's rule, but they are still quite enthusiastic about providing necessary information for their side secretly.

Kuqa, Wusun, Bega, Loulan, and Gaochang are arranged in the shape of candied gourds, which makes it very difficult for the people of Tanghe to defend here. In order to prevent possible rebellion in this not-so-domestic area, Li Wufeng almost Cleaning up the local armed forces in this area also caused the weakness of the local defense forces in the Western Regions, and also made the defense of this area have to rely entirely on the so-called regular army in Western Xinjiang. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for him. The black dots marked on the map are the divisions of Li Wufeng's two major garrison regiments in the Central Continent. Except for a newly formed reserve division, only the five divisions of their Second Army and the Indian Army can be ranked. There are four divisions of the De'an Army, and even if the nine divisions are added to the newly formed reserve division, there are only ten divisions. It is obviously a bit stretched to defend such a piece of land that is not conducive to defense. This is also our own side. advantage. Now the Western Frontier Army has concentrated troops in Wusun and Loulan, which can not only protect Bega in the center, but also take care of Kuqa and Loulan at both ends. For the Xijiang Army, which is not dominant in terms of strength and overall strength, there is a big disadvantage, that is, if it devotes all its strength to attack one point, it will be difficult for the Xijiang reinforcements who are hundreds of miles away in a short period of time to catch up in time. This created a good opportunity for himself to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

The thick black charcoal pencil moved slowly on the map, and Kurdo set his sights on a dot on the left, Anyanji, which is located at the junction of Wusun and Kuqa, and belongs to the present The Wusun Mansion of the Western Regions County, the commercial road that runs through the entire Western Regions connects the two cities of Wusun Kuche through here, and leads south to the iron mines under development in the Shuangdui Prefecture of North Luzon in the south. It is not far away and has good road connections. The excellent geographical location makes this a large market town second only to the five prefectural cities in the Western Regions County, and it is also an important material distribution center in this area. Wusun, Kuqa clan and a large number of Tang clan merchants gather here. Because of this, One division of Li Wufeng's Indian Army is stationed here, and three divisions are stationed in Wusun City to the east as support, so Kurdo has never chosen this place as an attack location, but now it seems that this place has become One of the best bait locations.

Kurdo was twirling his beautiful short beard under his nose while carefully considering the gains and losses. Wusun is the hometown of Hu Yanqiu, who is now the commander of the Indian Army. Personally, Huyanqiu, who is stationed in Wusun City, will not let the fall of An Yanji. If the three Xijiang divisions in Wusun City can be transferred out, the scene of this scene will be considered interesting. Showing a posture that seems strong but weak to seduce the more than 20,000 light cavalry reserves they prepared, this battle will be really well played.

However, in order not to let the people of Xijiang focus all their attention on this, but also to attract enough troops, it is really difficult to control the heat for a while. Fortunately, the enemy's cavalry in this area is not strong enough. Not strong. If 20,000 light cavalry want to challenge themselves to 100,000 soldiers who are used to fighting, the fire is still too short. At worst, they can choose the time to retreat at any time. This is the best way for your own cavalry to fight. The question that needs to be considered now is how to make this round of reinforcements more complete. A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Kurdo's mouth.

While Kurdo was painstakingly designing his siege and reinforcement tactics, Helianbo, who served as the deputy commander in chief of the Western Front and the commander in chief of the Central Mainland Theater in Bega City, was also thinking about how to end this battle as soon as possible. And frowning. Ling Tianfang handed over the command of the four ranger regiments to himself, which was equivalent to placing a heavy burden on himself. He Lianbo naturally knew Ling Tianfang's intentions, and solved the Western Regions in the shortest possible time. In the battle on the front line, free up four ranger regiments and all the troops that can be used to cut off the return of Luobei's main force. Even if the main force of Luobei cannot be wiped out, the opponent's strategic intention must be forced to fail. The Northwest Front where Ling Tianfang was personally in command even did not hesitate to use a few divisions of the Terok Legion as bait, and boldly sang an empty city plan. Taking such a big risk is to seize the opportunity by himself and concentrate superior forces to defeat the army of the Luobei Southern Front , and finally joined forces to invite the main force on the eastern front of Luobei.

However, the battlefield is changing rapidly. Although he already has an absolute advantage in some areas, the Luobei people are mainly cavalry. If they want to completely defeat this cavalry army, they have higher requirements for capturing fighters. Although a series of measures have been taken to curb the crazy offensive of the Luobei people ~IndoMTL.com~, but in order to achieve the goal of completely defeating the opponent, we need to find better opportunities.

There is not much new news from the intelligence system. The Luobei people still continue their old tricks, erratically moving and harassing the northern part of the five prefectures and counties, and pounce on them like wolves when they encounter the right opportunity Hold on tight, except for the main attack group of the four attack groups, it is difficult for the other three to capture their specific direction. This Kurdo is really unusual, and the power is delegated. Let the three attack groups choose the right one. The opportunity to launch an attack, and these guys are obviously already familiar with this combat method. Although the measures of interception and defense taken by themselves in the early stage have some effect, these guys quickly learned how to behave, and they will no longer be entangled in a death fight when they encounter an interception. Instead, he fled away and looked for the next more suitable attack target. This method of persevering caused both He Lianbo and Hu Yanqiu a headache, but it was necessary to find a solution for a while, unless they used the method that had been hidden in the south for a long time. The four ranger regiments in the area, but in this way it is impossible to achieve the goal of completely defeating the opponent.

It's difficult, He Lianbo couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart, Luobei people are not fools, they have fought and failed repeatedly, and no matter how stupid they are, they have learned to act cautiously, let alone the man on the other side. Adversaries are not stupid. The West Frontier Army on the Western Front has taken on huge risks and pressures, watching their own performance helplessly, but now they are helpless. I am afraid that they will not be able to justify where they go. Could it be that I, He Lianbo, will really fall in this battle? superior? Shaking his head subconsciously, He Lianbo pulled himself together and refocused on thinking about his opponent's thoughts.
