As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jianfeng did not expect that Ying Jianming had such an intention. From his tone, it seemed that he had a bigger idea. It was not what Zhao Jianfeng expected. What Ying Jianming said next made Zhao Jianfeng realize it again. The appetite of his boss: "Of course we want to enter the Kunduz Province. Although the Roset Province has not invited us, we can take the initiative to make a request. I believe that the nobles in Seliba will not reject our goodwill. Please help. Although we don’t want war now, to be honest, the Indian Army needs a war to temper itself. An army that has not tried iron and blood will never be able to take on a major task."
"Legion Commander, if we are to enter the Rosette Province, it will be a great irritation to the Hansen Alliance, and then we may really trigger a war." Zhao Jianfeng originally thought that he had taken the first step. Big enough, but he didn't expect that the other party had a bigger appetite. He even doubted whether the other party deliberately wanted to provoke a war with the Hansen Alliance to test the combat effectiveness of the Indian Legion.
"Jianfeng, don't be too nervous. I have no intention of disobeying the Privy Council's order, but look at the importance of the location of Rosette Province," Ying Jianming pointed to the map on the table on his desk that was deeply embedded with the two major cities of Yakuan and Tik. The shadow between the camps said pointedly: "The Yakuans have fallen into the hands of the Hansen Alliance, and the Tik people in the south are estimated to be unable to maintain their independent situation under the actions of the Luzon people. , will eventually fall into the arms of a certain big force, either the Luzon people or our empire, or even the Hansen Alliance. If we can control the Rosette Province, we can not only curb the expansion of the Hansen Alliance to the south, but also It also plays a role in containing the possible threat to Luzon. Of course, we cannot do this with our current strength, but I believe that the empire will not let Luzon and the Hansen Alliance do whatever they want here. The empire's large-scale intervention is inevitable. We must seize the opportunity and seize a support point necessary for our later efforts. Only in that way can we lay a good foundation for our later actions. The Rosette Province is the best bridgehead."
Of course, Zhao Jianfeng knew the importance of Rosette Province, but as the deputy army commander, he felt that he needed to remind the other party of the risks they might face if a war broke out. The Indian Army only had 100,000 people. There are still two divisions stationed in the two provinces of the Mish tribe, and one division is also stationed in the three northeastern provinces. There are only two divisions left but they have to face the threat of the Hansen Alliance. Once the war breaks out, can the two divisions play a role in defending the two provinces? If the war is lost. Not only will the empire's prestige be reduced, but the morale of the Hansen Alliance will also be greatly damaged, which will be detrimental to future operations after the empire's reinforcements arrive.
"Legion Commander, I'm afraid that if we are ready for war, the Hansen Alliance may also see the importance of the Roset Province. If we want to enter the Roset Province, we need to be fully prepared for a hard battle. Roset The province does not have any dangerous points to rely on. According to the information we obtained, the heavy armored cavalry of the Hansen Alliance are quite powerful in combat, no less powerful than the Liberian armored cavalry. In a flat land like the Rossai Province, it is difficult to fight with them. They fight. We must be mentally prepared for huge sacrifices." Zhao Jianfeng pondered for a while before saying. To be honest, he was also a little hesitant about whether to enter the Rossai Province. Whether or not the Selibah people invited them, it didn't matter. In the end, The important thing is that since you want to enter, you must stand firm. The ending of being driven out is something Zhao Jianfeng does not want to see.
Zhao Jianfeng's idea is also quite consistent with Ying Jianming's intention. Because Kunduz Province is across the Rosette Province, the possibility of a direct conflict with the Hansen Alliance here is not high. However, the Rosette Province has a special location. If once If you decide to enter here, you need to prepare early.
"Jianfeng, needless to say, I have decided to control the Rossai Province. In this way, I will lead the first and second divisions to station in the Rossai Province. You will lead the regiment directly under the army to temporarily sit in Kunduz and let the The fifth division of Keshhar also came to Kunduz to join forces. There is no need to retain troops in the three northeastern provinces. I estimate that after this battle, the status of the three northeastern provinces and the Boluo province will change, and even The entire Indian Kingdom may face disintegration, and the main tasks of our Indian Legion will also be transferred to the west.
Ying Jianming and Zhao Jianfeng had a heated argument over who should be stationed in Rosette Province. In the end, Ying Jianming had to give in and agreed to let Zhao Jianfeng leave Rosette Province, while he sat in Kunduz and waited for the Fifth Division to come and join forces.
The thick cloud of war hangs over the entire Indian kingdom.
Bremer, who was on the front line, was fully mentally prepared, but he still did not expect that the Luzon attack would be so sudden, ferocious, and desperate. A series of consecutive blows like a combination of punches were fierce and fierce, and they were launched from multiple fronts at the same time. Get up and attack with all-out force, even leaving no room for fighting back.
In fact, he was aware of the seriousness of the problem before the war broke out. He had already learned from intelligence personnel that there were unusual movements in the Luzon garrison in Ruchar Province, and there were also a large number of Luzon troops in the border areas of Pangong Province. The Song army was gathering, and he believed that the enemy would choose Pangong Province as the focus of attack. Although he realized that the Tik army in his hands might not be able to withstand the Luzon attack, he had no choice, and at the last moment Farash The great chief agreed to his suggestion of inviting the Tang army to enter, but it was too late. It was impossible for the Tang people to rush in and act as a protective umbrella for the Tik people without any preparation.
As Bremer expected, the Tang Dynasty finally rejected the invitation to send troops into the provinces of Pangong, Xize, and Lebo, and only agreed to enter Lahore and the Kadar province of the Taiga tribe to help defend. When the Luzon people arrived, it was difficult to resist this wave of attacks. These Tang people, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, only cared about their own interests. Lahore was already under their control, and the Taiga people fell directly into their arms. Now they are not willing to fight with the Luzon people at all. The Song people faced off head-on or wanted to use their own side to drain the strength of the Luzon people. Bremer sadly discovered that no matter how hard the Tik people tried, they eventually fell victim to the struggle between the major powers.
The gap between the Tik army and the Luzon army is obvious. Bremer knows this, especially after suffering heavy losses from the Tang people, the Tik army has never been able to recover to the level of its heyday, but Bremer also knows that even if It was restored to the level of its heyday, and the Tik army was also unable to withstand the attack of Luzon's elite army, which was not much inferior to the Tang army.
At this time, Bremer remembered what Pauling, who had become the chief representative of the Tang Empire in the Indian Kingdom, once said: "The entire Indian nation is hardworking and simple, and they are the best farmers and craftsmen in the world. They can also Create great artists and poets, and even become qualified officials and successful businessmen. However, their loose and weak character is destined to never become the most elite soldiers, because that requires a national character that has been persevering and enterprising for thousands of years. Come and cast it.”
Bremer didn't know that this sentence was just Pauling stealing someone's work, but at this time Bremer deeply realized the huge gap between the combat effectiveness of the Luzon army and his own army. If we say that the Luzon army and The gap between the Tang army can be described as between ninety steps and a hundred steps. Then my own army in front of me may not even be considered passing.
In just three days, the provinces of Pangong and Nishizawa were lost. If the fall of Nishizawa Province was due to my misjudgment of the Luzon people's multi-point attack strategy, then the battle of Pangong was done by myself. A tough battle under the command of the commander, the battle between the 200,000 Tik army and the 150,000 Luzon army only lasted two days. The powerful Luzon people broke through their own defense lines from many places, which led to The entire defense line collapsed. And when the Luzon people marched straight from Xize Province into Leibo Province, the Leibo garrison surrendered without even having the courage to fight.
Within five days, the rule that the Farash family had spent nearly a hundred years establishing in the Tik tribe collapsed, leaving only Goa, where they were now under control, still under control. At this time, Bremer also knew that the situation was about to The city under his feet is unlikely to be able to hold on for long. The army that has completely lost its fighting spirit can no longer cause much hindrance to the sweeping Luzon army. Although there are still many lines of defense in front, just as they were sent to ask for help, The Luzon envoy who surrendered to the Kingdom of Luzon and accepted the rule of the Kingdom of Luzon said that their army could directly attack the center of Goa city with overwhelming force. Such a futile battle would have no meaning other than increasing the casualties of the Tik people.
Now Bremer had to face a difficult choice. There was no hope of continuing to fight. How to surrender decently was what needed to be considered. The envoys from the Tang people have also arrived, and on the condition that they are willing to accept political asylum from the Farash family and the Bremmer family, they will be allowed to retreat to Lahore Province first, but the prerequisite is that the Tik family and the Tang Empire sign a protection agreement. It shows that the Tike tribe is a protected area of the Tang Empire. Bremer does not know what the other party wants to do. The Tang people have proposed this agreement to discuss with their side many times, but have been severely rejected. Now the rule of the Tike tribe In fact, it has been seized by the people of Luzon. It is only a matter of time before there is only one Goa left. It seems a bit ridiculous to sign this agreement now. Even the land and the people no longer exist. Even after signing this agreement, Could it be that the Tang people were able to take back the dominance of this area from the Luzon people
