Cui Wenxiu is definitely not the kind of good person who likes to wait for the enemy to come to his door. When the city guards were frustrated at the gate of Longquan Mansion and might move south to join forces with the imperial guards to attack Jinzhong, he was really relieved. The city guards should It is said that it is the only team in the central army of the empire that can stand on the stage. The City Guards and the Kaman Army fought several bloody battles. Although they lost in the end and suffered a lot of losses, this also allowed this army with a solid foundation to really get a workout. In fact, if it hadn't been tempered by that battle, maybe it would have been better. Cui Wenxiu will not take this team seriously.
Just like the Imperial Guards, Cui Wenxiu didn't think that Yusuf could conquer Jinzhong Mansion by hooking up with Ma Yuanxiang after being deflated under Longquan Mansion. Song Tianxiong's Tiger Wing Army plus the reorganized Huangfu Tiancheng Division, and Jinzhong Mansion Zhongya is the gateway to the west of the imperial capital, and the city defense facilities are quite complete. If Yusuf has that intention, it would be wiser to retreat as soon as possible and find another way out. If he gets mixed up with the guards, he will only do harm. matter.
When Yusuf was completely disappointed with the capture of Longquan, it was time for Cui Wenxiu to launch a counterattack. In Cui Wenxiu's eyes, Yusuf's city guard regiment was just an old dog, and there was no need to spend too much time thinking about how to deal with him. , when the time comes, it is only a matter of time before this legion falls apart. A wild dog that has lost its master will never be able to survive for long. He set his sights on the Twelve Legions who had been eager to attack on the edge of Qinghe Mansion. This was a big piece of fat. Although this piece of fat was indeed too big for the current Cui Wenxiu, it might happen again. Although he was choking to death, Cui Wenxiu, who loves adventure, still planned to devise a plan to see how he could peck off this piece of fat.
The Twelve Army Corps east of Qinghe actually has only four divisions. The First Division, whose division commander Qi Hong was captured, is basically negligible, although there is the Second Army Corps behind them. The two divisions served as supporting troops, but with the arrogant and unruly guys in the Second Army, it would take some effort for Liu Ping to command those two divisions. At least it is definitely not possible to be as commanding as his direct troops. This is the opportunity. Cui Wenxiu pondered this point carefully. The First Division was annihilated because of its rashness. Now it may not be so easy for the opponent to take the bait again.
The Second Ranger Regiment has already moved south to Longquan and Jinzhong. Cui Wenxiu doesn't want the City Guards and the Imperial Guard to encircle Jin so easily. The harassment operation of the Second Ranger Regiment is very important. This can be very good. The 6th Ranger Regiment was also divided into several parts and was still playing hide and seek with the 12th Corps. However, these two divisions had learned the lessons of the First Division. , obviously a lot more cautious. Either two or three infantry regiments huddled together in an all-round defensive posture, or two divisions advanced and retreated together. It was now impossible to divide, encircle, and annihilate them.
Since dividing and surrounding doesn't work. Is it possible to design a plan to eat these two divisions in one go? Cui Wenxiu kept thinking in his mind. The four divisions of the Twelfth Army were tightly packed. It would take some effort to separate them. However, there was a fierce impact from the 3rd Heavy Cavalry Division and the 6th Ranger Regiment. Strength, it should be said that there is no problem in finding an opportunity to fight, especially after the threat from Longquan Mansion gradually fades away.
Liu Ping's Imperial Twelfth Army seemed to be in a state of chaos ever since the first division was destroyed. A reorganized division was easily swallowed up by the enemy. This was a heavy blow to the Northern Army who originally wanted to overcome Qinghe. Fortunately, this blow also made them sober and realize the weight of the troops in their hands. As a result, the Twelfth Army Corps entrenched itself in the east of Qinghe and refused to move forward. After seeing the style of the heavy cavalry in Western Xinjiang, the Twelfth Army Corps even moved its troops back slightly for safety reasons, perhaps feeling that they had the strength in their hands. It was not enough to conquer Qinghe, so the Twelve Legions were content to relax and be content with this state of confrontation and fighting. As long as they can contain the main force of the Third Army in Qinghe, the Twelve Army will probably be satisfied.
Although the small-scale battles between the two sides continued every day, it seemed a bit unsatisfactory for the 6th Ranger Regiment, which had always been the main force. However, one enemy division and another division were closely together, and they relied on the terrain for defense. The Sixth Ranger Regiment was helpless, which made the regiment commander Mao Li a little confused. Are these twelve regiments here to attack Qinghe, or are they here to occupy the land east of Qinghe and that will be considered as achieving their goal? It seems that he has frequently launched offensives against the Twelve Legions.
A detailed map of Qinghe Mansion was almost torn into pieces in Cui Wenxiu's hands. The east and south sides of Qinghe were a mixture of hills and mountains and small plains, and the terrain was relatively complex. It should be said to be a good place to set up an ambush, but the problem was Now the Twelfth Army Corps was frightened and refused to move forward at all. Especially the two southern divisions hugged each other tightly and sat firmly on the Asakusa Dam. They even built fortifications in a serious manner. It looks like he will stay here for a long time.
They seemed to have gradually adapted to the harassment of the Rangers. Small units engaged in battle, while larger units put up defensive postures and relied on the camps and mountains to carry out defensive counterattacks. The Sixth Ranger Regiment tried to use its impact to force the attack several times. Breakthrough, but the opponent's fortifications and long-range strike weapons built on the mountain caused some casualties, which made Maoli furious but helpless. This formation is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry. Let alone light cavalry, it is very difficult for even heavy cavalry to break through. As long as there are certain catapults and ballistas, the frontal impact channel can be completely blocked and a corridor of death can be formed. This is also the main reason why these two divisions chose to camp here.
The other two divisions have already shrunk further to the rear and are almost connected with the two divisions of the Second Army. It seems that Liu Ping has made up his mind to wait and see what the outcome of the Yunzhong battle will be before making a decision. The fate of the Twelve Legions and the defeat of the City Guards in Longquan Mansion were probably the main reasons for Liu Ping's fear. The four kings of the Northern Army seemed to have some money in their stomachs except Zhao Chenghuai and Chu Taifeng. Why did Luo Bingji and Liu Ping's performance was very mediocre. At this time, Cui Wenxiu wished that Liu Ping could show off his talents as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Northern Army and have a fierce battle with him. Unfortunately, the more mediocre the opponent's performance was, the less opportunities he had to take advantage of it. Maybe this was the opponent's. Brilliance.
Cui Wenxiu put the map aside in annoyance, stroking his forehead and thinking deeply. It seemed that it was not easy to be a hunter. Today's prey have become frightened birds. If they don't pay attention, they will spread their wings and fly away without a trace. There was a steady sound of footsteps outside the door. Cui Wenxiu, who slowly opened his eyes, saw a handsome man in military uniform looking furtively at something outside the door, but his expression was so inconsistent with his image.
"Yue Shan, come in, what are you doing sneakily there?" As the main guard force of Qinghe Mansion, Yue Shan is also feeling itchy at the moment. He sees fierce battles in the north, and even Jiang Han and the others in the south have a good performance in the Longquan defense battle. After thinking about it for a while, he, as the central position of Qinghe, had barely performed anything except annihilating the first division of the Twelve Legions. He had been so idle. Seeing that Liu Ping, known as the four kings of the Northern Army, was so timid, he just Wandering on the edge of the Qinghe River, but unwilling to launch an attack on Qinghe Fucheng, Yue Shan was so anxious that blisters almost formed at the corners of his mouth. No, the coach was not in a good mood. Yue Shan, who knew his regiment commander very well, also guessed that the regiment commander was still upset about the inaction on the central front.
"Hey, Army Commander, why haven't you rested yet?" He sneered and walked sideways into Cui Wenxiu's study. However, Yue Shan glanced at the military map that Cui Wenxiu had drawn messily. The colorful circles and arrows on the map were messy. It was unbearable, but Yue Shan, who was familiar with the situation, could tell at a glance that the regiment commander seemed to be brewing a big battle plan.
"Rest? What time is it now? You asked me to rest in the middle of the morning. Do you really have nothing to do?" Cui Wenxiu replied angrily. This guy is also a ghost elf, and like Yuchi Bin, he is one of the most outstanding disciples in the ** sect. Although the housekeeper does not seem to be that important in the mind of His Highness King Qin now, these two people do not seem to be affected. They adapted very quickly after entering the army, and coupled with the two trainings in the military academy, these two guys quickly became successful in the position of division commander.
"Well, Commander, please don't be angry. Yue Shan also sees that the Commander has been in a bad mood these past two days. Please show some concern for your old man. You see, your family members are not around either. There are many gentry people in Qinghe Prefecture who admire your character and prestige, Commander. I have gone there. Many gentry and businessmen have come round and round to ask about your family, Commander of the Corps. I think there are two families who are quite sincere. Otherwise, Commander of the Corps, you would dare to do it. The fact that their daughter is young is also a sign of concern for the elders of Qinghe. , Legion Commander, don’t you think so?”
Yue Shan couldn't find the right words to open the topic for a while, so he could only make nonsense. However, these words were not groundless. Cui Wenxiu had a high prestige in the army, especially the Third Army, who regarded Cui Wenxiu as their leader. The commander of the army was proud, which also led to the gentry of Qinghe Prefecture being very interested in the garrison leader. After asking, Cui Wenxiu, who was in his early thirties, seemed to have only one wife and one concubine in his family, and the population was not prosperous. With Cui Wenxiu's current status, It is inevitable that many people will have their thoughts changed.
