As the troops gathered under Yunzhong City continued to appear, the tense atmosphere before the war seemed to solidify. Yunzhong City had long been closed, except for authorized personnel. Other civilian activities have been completely stopped, and everything is subordinated to war. Serve in the war effort.
King Duodun's troops also began to appear in the northeast of Yunzhong City and set up camp. Two regiments of 140,000 people densely packed the northeastern area outside Yunzhong City. The traditional Biao Guards The blue-gray military flag of the Corps is in sharp contrast with the colorful flags of the Phoenix Corps from the eastern ethnic minorities, giving people the impression of two completely different armies.
The Biaowei Regiment is an army regiment of the Kingdom of Dodon. It has seven teams of 10,000 people, including a pure light armored cavalry team of 10,000 people, a mixed cavalry team of 10,000 people, half of which are light and heavy cavalry, and a mixed infantry team of 10,000 people. , five thousand hoplites, three thousand longbowmen, and two thousand spearmen. The remaining four 10,000-person troops are lightly armored infantry corps consisting of 10,000-person troops. Longbowmen are a special unit of the Dodon Kingdom. Even in the entire Liberian country, there is no separate longbow unit. However, due to the long-term need to compete with the Japanese at sea, the Dodon Kingdom in order to strengthen its bows and arrows. Because of the strength of the hand troops, each regiment has specially set up long archer troops according to the situation, so that when the maritime fleet needs it, these long archers can be sent to the warships to serve as crossbowmen at any time.
The training system for longbowmen in the Kingdom of Dodon is also different from other countries in Liberia. The requirements are more stringent. Not only does it require fast shooting speed and longer range, but it also requires much higher accuracy than longbowmen from other countries. Their longbows are all made of black oak, a special shrub that grows in the northeast near the Atlantic coastline. The bow strings were tanned and strung with bison tendons from the Marston Wasteland in the north. They had good toughness, great strength, and much improved stability. Coupled with rigorous training, their longbowmen became the most outstanding among the Liberian countries. Archer.
The somewhat fancy-looking Phoenix Corps is somewhat different from the standard army of the Kingdom of Dodon. Most of them come from ethnic minorities in the eastern coastal areas, which are completely different from the Bai people. Most of them make a living by fishing and hunting. In order to strengthen its rule over the ethnic minority areas along the eastern border, the Dodon Kingdom set up a special province and authorized the leader of one of the largest ethnic groups, the Phoenix tribe, to come forward to form a reserve corps. That is the Phoenix Corps. Although this corps is a reserve corps in name, in fact it has been trained and deployed according to the specifications of the Dodon Kingdom's regular army corps. In almost every war against the Bai people in the north, this army will be pushed to the first place without hesitation. The line can be said to be a very important armed force in the hands of the Dodon Kingdom, and the Phoenix Corps' repeated performances have also won high praise from the central government of the Dodon Kingdom.
The Phoenix Corps is divided into several groups according to the population of each ethnic group. The Phoenix tribe has the largest population and is also the most brave. There are three teams of ten thousand people in the Corps, and the other six or seven ethnic groups have merged to form another four teams of ten thousand people. These ethnic groups have a characteristic that is very different from other ethnic groups, that is, women occupy an important position in the entire ethnic group, which can even be said to exceed that of men. The gender ratio of the soldiers of this Phoenix Corps is also more than 30%. However, this is not the case at all. It did not affect the combat effectiveness of this army. The wild and tough female soldiers performed as well as male soldiers on the battlefield. This has been proved by this army in many battles with the Baiin people. They also performed well in the war with the Japanese. The commander of this Phoenix Corps was also a female general. In terms of the composition of the troops, the Phoenix Corps is completely different from other standard army regiments in the Dodon Kingdom. They have no cavalry and are completely an infantry regiment. This also has a lot to do with the hilly geographical environment along the coast where they are located.
As the commander of the Piao Guard Corps, Supchenko is obviously a little older. I don’t know whether King Andrei liked him for his calmness and solidity or his rich experience. In short, the Piao Guard Corps was selected to help Situ Tai in the Tang River. The first regiment in the Civil War, this was also the first time that the Duodun King's troops stepped out of the country and entered the Tanghe Empire to fight. In the past, they mostly fought against the unruly Bein people in the north, or at sea. Fight against the greedy and savage Japanese pirates. And this time they were finally able to go out of their own country to show their style, and the entire regiment was proud of it. They firmly believed that they could use their force and military might to fight for the necessary benefits and honors for the Dodon Kingdom, except for one person, that It is Corps Commander Supchenko.
Supchenko has never expressed his attitude towards this war in front of outsiders. Even when he spoke at the routine speeches of military generals on whether they should participate in this war, he simply stated that this was not a discussion that soldiers should discuss. The issue should be decided by His Majesty the King and the Government. Supchenko didn't know if it was because of his statement that His Majesty the King selected the Guards Corps to take on this mission. However, General Lemai, who had been clamoring the most for sending troops, was sent to the north to guard the border. This obviously surprised many people. His Majesty the King's attitude towards this civil war among the Tanghe people has always been the focus of many people's attention. Unfortunately, His Majesty Andre has never made it clear in front of others that the Kingdom should participate in this war. The neutral attitude was just an understatement that in view of the orthodox status of the Situ family in the Tanghe Empire and the friendly neighbor relationship between the two parties, the kingdom should provide necessary support.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Andrei's necessary support was the armed forces of two corps, including an Army Corps. Such a generous move even surprised many forces supporting Situ in the country. Although Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine is already engaged to Situ Tai, everyone knows that this kind of political marriage is inherently utilitarian. Once Situ Tai really At the end of the road, it is normal to break off the engagement. A veteran like His Majesty Andre, who has been immersed in the storms for decades, cannot ignore the interests of the kingdom for the sake of a daughter, no matter how delicate and beloved the daughter is. Nope either.
Supchenko's Guards Regiment was sent directly to the hinterland of the Tanghe Empire without much preparation, and passed through the hinterland of Yanyun County and advanced into the territory of Beiping Prefecture. However, I don't know why Situ Tai has not been here. Being able to clearly express how to launch an offensive made Supchenko very dissatisfied with the situation of staying in the Tanghe people's territory and doing nothing. Then the addition of the Phoenix Corps aggravated Supchenko's dissatisfaction. Situ Tai also gathered more than 100,000 people on the front line in Peiping. people, plus the kingdom's two corps, the number of troops has reached 250,000, while the Xijiang Army of Yunzhong Prefecture only has less than 100,000 people. According to Supchenko's knowledge, the city defense structure of Yunzhong Prefecture It is not strong. If you use all your strength to launch an attack, it is not impossible to deal with this Western Xinjiang army in one fell swoop, although it may cost a lot.
The order from the country also told Supchenko to keep a low profile and obey Situ Tai's orders, which puzzled Supchenko. It wasn't until the Puer army suddenly crossed the Kaman territory and raided Yulin that Supchenko finally understood that Situ Tai had brought the Pu people into the joint front. It seemed that the last battle of the Xijiang people did not destroy the Pu people's will. Supchenko was also surprised to be able to stand up again so quickly. It was not until later that he learned that there were shadows of the Japanese and the Nanyang Alliance behind the Puer people's resurgence.
The Puer people's raid on Yulin had a very good effect. It not only severed the connection between Yunzhongfu and the direction of Jierok to the west, but also indirectly blocked the possible support to Yunzhong from the direction of Qinghe. In the face of the threat of the Puer people's cavalry Under this situation, any idea of traveling long distances to reinforce Yunzhong will face the possibility of being attacked by the Puer cavalry.
Now should be the best time to launch a final offensive against Yunzhong Mansion to completely eliminate the Xijiang Army trapped here, but Supchenko felt a faint sense of uneasiness. The reason for the uneasiness comes from the calmness of the Yunzhong Mansion defenders and the entire Western Xinjiang. Faced with such a bad situation, Xijiang seems to be doing nothing. No matter how arrogant and crazy Li Wufeng is, it seems unlikely that he will think that the tens of thousands of people trapped in Yunzhong Mansion are Can the army withstand this joint attack of more than 400,000 troops from our own side? But the current situation is like this. Ji Wufeng's eyes seem to have fallen on the southern part of the Tanghe Empire and the peninsula. He seems to have completely ignored the situation in the north. Supchenko believes that those who can behave like this in this situation are either idiots or geniuses. Li Wufeng is certainly not an idiot, so where does his confidence come from
Kamapov? Supchenko had studied this general. This man was not well-known under Li Wufeng, but he was able to defeat Song Tianxiong, the once popular commander of the Guards Division, and became the commander of the Fifth Army. What did he rely on? Relying on his unpretentious style and perseverance, the Fifth Army seems to have inherited this style under his leadership. Throwing this army in Yunzhong Mansion can be said to be the worst for the people of Xijiang. A good choice, but this definitely does not mean that this army can defend Yunzhong Mansion. Supchenko does not believe that Li Wufeng will be so arrogant. There must be something weird in the middle.
"Master Supchenko, what seems to be on your mind?" The strange voice came from the red-haired woman next to Supchenko. Her long auburn hair was pulled into a huge bun, but you can still see the red hair and tall and fit body. Walking with the somewhat skinny Supchenko always looks a little funny.
