Where does this ominous premonition come from? Cui Wenxiu was thinking hard. In fact, it should be said that it is very simple. The only ones that can cause harm to him are the coalition forces of Situ Tai and the Doton people, and maybe other forces colluding with them. The intelligence department. Time seemed to focus more on the south. There was not much information worth looking at in the entire northern territory. Situ Tai may have his fatal weakness, but he was by no means a fool, and he would not let the situation develop. When his own survival is endangered, he will definitely bear it even if it requires paying a certain price.
Thinking of this, Cui Wenxiu felt even more upset. The entire northern front, His Highness King Qin, had been handed over to him. It stretched from the clouds to the imperial capital, stretching for more than a thousand miles. There were two Duodun regiments and more than ten elite soldiers. The imperial division, in this long and narrow area, Situ Tai's side has deployed at least more than 400,000 troops, and these 400,000 troops are by no means a ragtag group like the Taiping Army, but real elites, elites who have experienced battles for a long time, huge The pressure is enough to suffocate, but this is not the biggest headache for Cui Wenxiu. The most troublesome thing for Cui Wenxiu is that he is now on the defensive, and the enemy is on the offensive. As we all know, the one on the offensive can take the advantage, and the enemy can Any attack point is chosen arbitrarily, especially on this front of more than a thousand miles. The transmission of communications means that as the defender, one is always two days behind in responding to emergencies. During these two days, many things can only be done by relying on one's own army. The battlefield commander's ability to make temporary decisions and the army's own strength can cope with all this. But sometimes the disparity in strength cannot be changed by these factors, especially when the enemy has ample opportunities to concentrate superior forces and select attack points.
Although his eyes were looking at the distant sky, Cui Wenxiu's mind at this time showed a map from Yunzhong to Zhongzhou, including Yunzhong, Yulin, Qinghe, Longquan, and Jinzhong. Kamapov was stationed on the line in Yunzhong, Longquan Jinzhong did not directly face the army of Situ Tai's family in Cangzhou. But Yusuf's calmness in recent times has also made Cui Wenxiu feel a little worried. This guy has been perfunctory in recruiting His Highness King Qin. I don't know what caused this guy who should be considered a smart person to choose such an unwise decision. This also forced Cui Wenxiu to appropriately retain necessary troops on the front lines of Longquan and Jinzhong.
What worries Cui Wenxiu the most is Qinghe, which is the gateway to Beiyuan and even the entire northern part of Western Xinjiang. If it is purely defensive, Cui Wenxiu is not afraid. It is too easy to defend a Qinghe city. No matter what Situ Tai has Extraordinary ability. If he wants to seize Qinghe City from his own hands, he will have to practice for several years. However, sometimes the military must be subordinate to politics. His Highness the King of Qin is not allowed to take a defensive position on these lands. This means that the Western Xinjiang Army cannot let the enemy, especially those from The foreign enemies are showing off their power on the land of Tanghe, but the Xijiang army is doing nothing. This is like tying Cui Wenxiu's hands and asking him to fight with the opponent.
All possibilities were filtered silently in Cui Wenxiu's mind. Bo Jinchen was already on his way to Qinghe. Perhaps His Highness King Qin was aware of the murderous intention hidden behind Situ Tai's excessive silence. Ling Tianfang also reminded himself that this may be the calm before the enemy takes large-scale military action. The silence of the 400,000 troops for too long often indicates that a huge storm is coming. Cui Wenxiu can smell the strong fighting spirit in it, but the enemy will start from it. Where do you choose to break through? In the clouds? Cui Wenxiu never thought that there was any point in controlling Yunzhong. In his opinion, Yunzhong could be returned to Situ Tai. In this way, he could free up a considerable amount of power for maneuver. The third army and the fifth army could easily form two A fist was fired left and right at the enemy who had given up on the provocation, but now Yunzhong was holding back the fifth legion. And Longquan Jinzhong has restrained part of its third army. Cui Wenxiu couldn't help complaining about why His Highness King Qin let Ying Jianming's three divisions leave. Although the opponent's combat effectiveness is questionable, they can at least take on the two Longquan Jinzhong troops. It is the responsibility of defending the city.
The Rose Palace in the center of the capital of the Kingdom of Poole has always been the most gorgeous and magnificent palace among the Liberian countries. This palace with a history of more than 100 years covers an area of hundreds of acres. Deluoba Square, full of Western Continental style, is full of springs and green grass. The spacious stone avenue extends in all directions along the parade platform in the center of Deluoba Square. It is a garden combination composed of green small trees, shrubs and sculpture groups. It makes people forget to leave. In the center of the square stands the majestic merit column in front of the military parade. The surface of the merit column has lifelike reliefs. Although it has been eroded by wind and rain for a hundred years, it still stands proudly. It seems that it also records the seventeenth king of the Kingdom of Poole. Jeremias III's great achievements in the southern and northern expeditions.
Jeremiah III is known as the greatest king since the founding of the Kingdom of Poole. He made three expeditions to the injured Bein people in Marston Wilderness in the north, opened up territory, and defeated the once prosperous Bein Roebuck tribe. They had to hide deep in the Atlas Mountains to save the entire tribe from being exterminated. However, the Roebuck tribe, which had led the entire Bein tribe for 200 years, has since declined and can no longer compete with the tribe. The Duoer tribe rising in the west competed for the dominance of the Boyin tribe, and could only survive in the desolate and cold land of the far north. If it weren't for several rejuvenating chiefs in the tribe who worked hard to support the overall situation, I'm afraid that It is normal for the Roebuck tribe to be exterminated or annexed by other tribes. Even so, the Roebuck tribe can no longer pose a great threat to the Kingdom of Puer. In the eyes of the Puer people, they have become nothing more than scabies. The Puer Kingdom also suddenly became the most powerful kingdom among the entire Liberian kingdoms at that time. The two empires of Kaman and Sisluo at that time could only hold back, and the Tanghe Empire had to station itself in the border area of Yulin and Yunzhong. A large number of troops were deployed on Goda Dan to guard against the Puer people's southward movement.
But in the following more than a hundred years, although all the successive kings of the Kingdom of Poole were proud of Jeremias III, no one could reach his height again. Most of them were those who were greedy for pleasure or eager for quick success, making Poole The kingdom was gradually overtaken and surpassed by the two empires of Kaman and Sisluo, and the Tanghe Empire gradually turned its attention to the Kaman people.
Sezerif IX considers himself a diligent king, but the mess his father left for him has brought the Kingdom of Poole to its lowest point. Although the tradition of attaching importance to the army makes the strength of the army not affected much on the surface. However, before taking the throne, he had served in the Royal Guards Cavalry Regiment, but he knew that the overall strength of his country's army had actually been greatly weakened, and the biggest reason was that the kingdom's financial situation had been difficult for many years, resulting in insufficient investment in the army. , causing the Royal Army's soldiers and training conditions to continue to decline.
Although the kingdom still maintains a standing army of nearly 400,000 in terms of the number of troops, in fact, only less than 300,000 troops can barely be called well-trained, and an army of more than 100,000 is not even as effective as the reserve armies of neighboring countries. This is The conclusion reached by the Kingdom's Minister of Army after inspecting the neighboring Kaman Empire and the Sisiluo Empire's army fifteen years ago.
Since Sezerif IX came to the throne twelve years ago, he has wanted to reorganize the country's economy, strengthen the country's comprehensive strength, and reorganize its military equipment. However, what makes Sezerif IX frustrated is that even God seems to be teasing him. For more than ten years, there have been constant disasters in the kingdom, either drought in the north, floods in the central region, or locust plagues in the south, or the restless Baiin people want to jump out and harass them, Sezeri In order to preserve the foundation of the country and invest more financial resources in the country's infrastructure, King Husband IX had to bite the bullet and reduce the investment in the army. The army acted more as mercenaries and worked for neighboring countries to obtain the required military expenses. Sezerif IX has always hoped that through twenty years, his country's basic national strength will regain a sustained growth process, and the military strength will gradually improve through war and war. If the Tanghe Empire is still as weak as it has been for a hundred years, it should be said that this strategy is relatively a safe and best option, but the rise of Li Wufeng broke the plan of Sezerif IX.
The rapid rise of the Western Xinjiang regime not only made the Kaman people feel threatened and pressured, but also made Sezerif IX aware of the increasing danger. Especially after Xijiang gained control of Beiyuan County of the Tanghe Empire, this This threat is getting bigger and bigger, and after Yunzhong fell into the hands of the Xijiang people, it almost blocked the kingdom's southward development space. This is undoubtedly an unacceptable reality for the kingdom, so there is a kingdom. A plan for a joint battle between the army and the Kamans.
However, the Kingdom's army suffered an unprecedented defeat. This was almost a war that damaged the vitality of the Kingdom's army. However, in the eyes of King Setzerif IX, this may be an opportunity. After the pain, the top brass of the Kingdom's army needed to make a comeback. A thorough change of blood, and only by allowing the new generation of young people to occupy a position where they can play a role in the Royal Army, can the sluggish Royal Army gain new life after experiencing labor pains. Three consecutive months of reorganization and purge of Setzerif Nine Shiji personally stayed in the military camp for a month and personally participated in various trainings and exercises with the army officers. When the Kaman people were still preparing for the resignation of Gomez, Nick, and Maili, they gave the entire Kaman army a While the vacuum left behind caused headaches, the Army of the Kingdom of Poole was undergoing a profound introspection and change.
