The climate in Shuangdui Prefecture has not dropped since April. The temperature here is slightly higher on average than in areas at the same latitude. The good light and water and heat conditions make this place a hotspot for early development in Northern Luzon until the volcano The city was newly built as the capital of North Luzon County, and the heat here has slowed down slightly. However, with the increasingly frequent exchanges with the Indian region, and the five ethnic groups in the Green Sea Swamp area also beginning to come out, there are several people here. A regional connection point, it is now not only the economic center of a multi-ethnic region, but also an important transportation hub and trade center connecting the Indian region and the Principality of Comini.
Hu Yanqiu led the direct regiment of his army from Zijin Pass southward into Shuangdui Mansion. As soon as he stepped into the city gate of Shuangdui Mansion, he felt the impact of the war on this area. Although the shops were still open, the merchants were already cleaning up. The goods are being packed, and many workshops are also preparing to take inventory. It seems that they are all worried about the last war. In the past, the bustling streets with people and cars are much less than usual. The golden roc flag flying on the city seems to be It also looked more dazzling, and even the expressions on the faces of people walking on the street seemed to have a touch of solemnity.
Hu Yanqiu led this army into Shuangdui City and attracted a burst of attention from the people in the city. Both ordinary people and businessmen were most worried that the army would abandon Shuangdui City like last time. However, looking at the various numbers of the Western Xinjiang Army A steady stream of people are entering Shuangdui Fucheng, and the city's defense facilities are also being renovated and reinforced intensively. All this seems to be a good sign. The Xijiang Army is preparing to conduct defensive operations in Shuangdui Fucheng.
Helianbo, who had already been waiting at the gate of the competition venue, came to greet him from afar. After a friendly exchange of greetings, Hu Yanqiu gave Shan Zhu, the deputy commander of the Second Army, who had never spoken to him, a warm Gao Yuan hug. He Lianbo also laughed and hugged Shan Zhu, the deputy commander of the Indian Army who had just been promoted. Jiang Bin, an old colleague of the regiment commander, patted his shoulders and shook hands to show his intimacy. The long-term cooperation between the two has established a very good personal relationship. Although Jiang Bin is now promoted to deputy commander of the Indian Army, it does not affect the relationship between the two. After a while of excitement, both sides finally entered the group of tents that had completely covered the entire arena.
The faint aroma of coffee permeated the spacious tent. He casually looked at the various maps hung in the tent. It was obvious that this coach was not a very particular person. Jiang Bin was very fond of this regiment commander who was a mountain bandit. Interested, among the eight legions of the Western Xinjiang Army, he is the only legion commander who is not from the imperial system, and many important generals in this legion are from the rebel bandit system. The saying "birds of a feather flock together" is very important to him. It seems so appropriate. Moreover, Ling Huyi, the director of the Western Xinjiang Military Intelligence Bureau who is currently located at the core of Western Xinjiang, also came from this army, which also shows that Li Wufeng. Oh, we shouldn’t call him His Royal Highness the King of Thailand now. This shows His Highness the King of Thailand’s trust in him and this army. This guy’s family history can also become a classic textbook and become a reference for those who came from the rebel army in the Western Xinjiang Army. The officers and soldiers of the bandits and bandits are an idol, and now it seems that I can also join this role.
Jiang Bin sat on the lower left side and savored the mellow aroma of this finely ground coffee from Northern Luzon. The slightly bitter astringency in his mouth made Jiang Bin his favorite Green Moon Coffee. The rising mist soaking into the nostrils is also an indescribable enjoyment. A month ago, he was officially promoted to the position of deputy commander of the Indian Army in Western Xinjiang under the strong recommendation of He Lianbo and Huyan Qiudi. The competition for this position is quite fierce. Perhaps it is because of the number of soldiers in the Indian Army. After looking at the surrender of the Taiping Religion, he hoped that he could lead a combat-effective team like he led the Fourth Division of the Second Army, so the Military Affairs Administration and His Royal Highness the King of Thailand finally agreed to the recommendations of He Lianbo and Hu Yanqiu and appointed He served as deputy commander of the Indian Army.
After entering the Xijiang military system, Jiang Bin gradually got to know this large and efficient army. After seeing the Xijiang Army's generous treatment, good equipment and ample logistical support, only on these points Jiang Bin had to admit that the defeat of the Taiping Army to which he belonged was not unfair at all, but this was only one aspect. The Xijiang Army's perfect military discipline enforcement mechanism and officer promotions were also refreshing to Jiang Bin. With performance as the only criterion for the promotion and evaluation of officers and soldiers, Jiang Bin was speechless in the end, wanting to stand out in the huge Xijiang Army. No matter which system you come from, whether you are from the Old City Guards, whether you have graduated from the Northwest Military Academy, or whether you are a bandit and rebel and have been demoted to the army, as long as you have the ability to perform well, you will get the opportunity to be promoted.
Jiang Bin also fully experienced the arduous and even rigorous training tasks of the Western Xinjiang Army in peacetime. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. These two common sayings have become the training mantra of the Western Xinjiang military officers and soldiers. Armed training field confrontation, mountain cross-country, jungle crossing, armed swimming, fortress attack, field defense, desert march and all kinds of synthetic drills, Jiang Bin doesn't know who has such a bad brain, he can come up with so many kinds of training. subjects, but in the end I realized that these ideas came from the Director of Military Affairs Ling Tianfang, which finally opened my eyes to a country bumpkin who only knew daily formation drills and individual soldier training in the Taiping Army. It was definitely not an accident that the Western Xinjiang Army was able to dominate the empire and the Central Continent. This was the conclusion that Jiang Bin came to after painful experience.
We have fallen behind. If we want to gain a foothold in the Western Xinjiang Army and not be eliminated, we have to pay more than others. We have to prove to everyone that we are not cowards! This was Jiang Bin's only sentence at the swearing-in ceremony for the opening of his division's training after he saw the gap with other veteran Western Xinjiang troops. But it was this sentence that inspired the entire division and allowed the division to win in the shortest possible time. Within a short period of time, the role transformation from the Taiping Rebel Army to the Western Xinjiang Army was quickly completed. Although an iron army without great military exploits was established, it was no less than other divisions. The Taiqing Army soldiers were not afraid of hardship or fatigue. The spirit of "Three Fears of Death" has been fully reflected, and this is also closely related to Jiang Bin's practice in training.
Comparing his two coaches, Hu Yanqiu and He Lianbo, Jiang Bin suddenly discovered that the two men were actually similar in many aspects. They both looked rough and arrogant but were meticulous. They both became monks and entered the Western Xinjiang military system. His Highness the King of Qin let them each guard a border. The most interesting thing is that both of them have the same surname. It seems that successful people have common characteristics and experiences, but Hu Yanqiu has a more serious character, while Helianbo is more serious. Be bold and wild.
Seeing that all his important subordinates had arrived, Helianbo didn't bother to introduce them to each other. As two legions that had been stationed in the central continent, the two legions knew a lot about each other, especially Hu Yanqiu's knowledge of the second legion. Officers above the division commander of the Second Army are even more familiar with it, not to mention Jiang Bin.
"Hu Yan, it seems that His Highness is not planning to send us reinforcements in this battle. Now it's time for us two to play with our friends in the south. How about it? How do you want to play?" Helianbo still said He has such a carefree look. From this perspective, this guy looks like a legion commander commanding more than 100,000 troops. However, it is his character that manages the entire legion obediently and becomes a powerful group of traitors in the Central Continent. Strong soldiers.
"Helian, you are the coach, but you are also a local snake, and you are familiar with everyone. You tell us how we should do it. In a word, we can't lose. It's as simple as that. This is also the requirement of His Royal Highness the King of Thailand. Even if we delay, it will be considered a victory. "Hu Yanqiu was also amused by the other party's words, and his tone became humorous.
"It's difficult, Huyan, we are afraid to say so, but according to the information from Linghu Yi, the Luzon people have mobilized at least 300,000 troops, and the Komini people are also mobilizing on a large scale. , the two sides combined must have at least 500,000 troops, and we only have 200,000 troops. The most important thing is that the defense front in North Luzon is so long now, and none of the three cities can be lost. Frederick is not How can the Indians be so easy to get rid of? Since he has spotted this opportunity, he will not give up until he takes a big bite." Shaking his head, Helianbo's words were relaxed, but his expression was not. , obviously knowing that this battle is not easy to fight, "It seems that these bastards of the Komini people also want to avenge us on the Tik side, and also want to take a trip into this muddy water, why are we doing this?" , Huyan, see if you can let the Natic people launch some offensives on their side, even if it is just a pretense. It can contain the Komini people and hold them back, so as to alleviate the situation. There’s pressure on our side.”
Hu Yanqiu also knew how difficult and dangerous this battle was, but both he and Helianbo had a feeling that although Frederick chose to send troops to Northern Luzon at this time, he saw the opportunity when Western Xinjiang was unable to go west, but he did not Have you considered the consequences of Western Xinjiang turning around and counterattacking with all its strength once the war in the Central Plains is over? Or does he think that the Central Plains War will continue and Western Xinjiang will never have the chance to return its energy to Northern Luzon? However, judging from the intelligence display of this battle, the Luzon people did indeed mobilize the maximum military force. This was not an act. The entire country would have to pay a considerable price for such a huge military mobilization. If it was just intimidation or intimidation, It would be too funny to do any military exercise. There is only one conclusion, that is, the people of Luzon are determined to take advantage of this rare opportunity to recapture Northern Luzon and restore their so-called national unity. However, the military mobilization of the Luzon people is already close to It was completed, but no substantive action was ever seen. They seemed to be waiting for something. Could it be that they were waiting for the Komini people who were not yet fully ready for military mobilization to march together? Or are you worried and still waiting for the full-scale war to break out in the Central Plains of the empire
