As soon as he entered the territory of Northern Luzon, Cui Wenxiu was already collecting the defense situation of the entire Luzon people, especially the Manlong area. Although it seemed that Frederick had deployed heavy troops on the Indian side, and that he himself was personally stationed in the homeland of Comini, Cui Wenxiu still did not believe that Frederick could ignore the threat from the empire. In the fierce battle to annex Komini, Western Xinjiang seemed to do nothing, but that was under a special situation. The Luzon people successfully concealed it from everyone, including their own people. In this case, Helianbo was able to take advantage of the situation. It is very rare to seize food and seize the Pamir region. Even the Pasha people only captured the Fergan region.
The intelligence fed back confirmed Cui Wenxiu's suspicion. In Manlong, Frederick still deployed as many as 100,000 heavy troops and dispatched a general in Luzon who was known for his conservativeness and old-fashioned _Xilia The German general was stationed in Manlong, apparently also guarding against possible attacks by the empire on Luzon itself. It is said that this general had no other abilities but his perseverance and uncompromising execution of orders, which won him the trust of the military commander. Frederick used him in Manlon, the key to the defense of the entire northern Luzon. It can be said that it is just right. Anyone who wants to enter Central Luzon has to pass this level.
This intelligence alone dispelled Cui Wenxiu's intention to launch an offensive in the Manlong area, which forced Cui Wenxiu to focus on the Patamao area south of the Pamirs. In terms of importance, this area is more important than Luzon and Komi. When Nigeria was divided into two families, it was impossible to say how important it was, but now that Luzon and Komini have been integrated into one, the importance of this place has become highlighted. Once this place is captured and cut off, the Kingdom of Luzon will Facing a difficult situation.
However, it is obviously too slow to wait until the Pamir Fortress is built before attacking the Patamao area. Cui Wenxiu has never been in the habit of waiting passively in this regard. The South Indian De'an was left safely to the Luzon people. He cannot tolerate it in his hands. Although the Pamir side cannot launch an offensive for a while now, it does not mean that there is nothing to do in Northern Luzon. At least he must find a way to attract some troops to retreat to the Luzon mainland to relieve the pressure on South India. Dean's pressure. Make all preparations for the offensive he is about to launch in South India.
The tough-looking officer in front of him will be an important chess piece in his hands. The commander of the Andean Corps, General Gudela, is an extremely hateful Luzon who betrayed his allies and annexed Comini. A former Comini general, a warrior who would rather destroy his family and annihilate his family than fight the Luzon people to the end. Of course, this warrior is not a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs. You can clearly find out after contacting him a few times. This guy is not a reckless person, and his understanding of tactics is even more thorough than some guys in Western Xinjiang who only know how to fight hard.
"General Gudela, come and sit down." Cui Wenxiu's calm attitude made Gudela, who was still a little reserved, immediately let go of everything. He was always a generous person, and in front of him was this man who was known as one of the best military commanders in the Tang Empire. The entire Central Continent has an extraordinary reputation, especially in the Tengger Grassland and the Indian region. It is said that nomination can stop children from crying at night. Now it seems that there is nothing surprising. It seems that except for that The eyes are a little bright and uncanny. Others are no different from ordinary people.
"This is Qiu Zicheng, commander of the Empire's 10th Legion, and deputy commander Gillette. This is the first time that the 10th Legion has entered the Central Continent. From now on, you will be colleagues fighting on the same front." Cui Wenxiu was very happy. Appreciating the other party's openness and generosity, in his opinion, since they are both soldiers, they shouldn't be more formal than soldiers. It should have the aura of a soldier.
"Gudela has heard of Mr. Cui's reputation for a long time. This is the first time for Mr. Qiu and Mr. Ji." He grinned widely and hugged Qiu Zicheng and Gillette to show his affection. We sat down in a relatively harmonious atmosphere. Although this meeting was very simple, Gudela knew that Mr. Cui just liked to choose this kind of occasion to observe people. This was what He Lianbo, the commander of the Second Army who had entered the interior of the empire, reminded him before leaving. As a man who already had some sympathy for Helianbo, Helianbo introduced the temperament and style of several important generals in the empire who might have power in the mainland's military affairs, and Cui Wenxiu was naturally the leading figure.
"Haha, Zicheng and Gillette have been fighting in the mainland of the empire. This time they come to the mainland, this is probably the first time they go out to eat meat. From now on, if we move around a few times, everyone will become familiar with it." Cui Wenxiu said a few words to the side. Closer to home, this discussion meeting held in Pamir is to analyze the current trends and facts of the Luzon people, the empire’s main enemy in the central mainland. Cui Wenxiu really wants to know about the Komini soldiers who are from the same lineage as the Luzon people. What kind of evaluation does the Luzon people have, except for Frederick and Kluf? Regarding the situation of other senior generals in the Luzon army and Comini, who was originally Comini and has now joined the Luzon people, only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be able to fight without danger. Cui Wenxiu believes that the military's strategic path must be based on detailed intelligence, and The intelligence obtained by intelligence agencies is often not very different from the analysis obtained by real soldiers. It can even be said to be very different. For example, caution can be regarded as worry, and decisiveness can be regarded as stubbornness. Stubbornness is regarded as stubbornness. Only real soldiers can realistically analyze the true level of these people based on the situation at the time. For example, General Hilliard who is currently stationed in Manlon and guard Lekeba who is stationed in Patmao City.
Facing the gazes of Cui Wenxiu and several colleagues, Gudela did not delay too much, and gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the Luzon Army that he knew about, and introduced in a targeted manner some of the Luzon Army in his opinion. The styles and shortcomings of the main leading generals, of course, are also analyzed and introduced one by one by the senior generals of Comini who were once colleagues but are now their own masters.
Cui Wenxiu focused on asking about the combat styles and personalities of the senior generals, while Qiu Zicheng and Gillette focused more on the analysis of the combat effectiveness of the Luzon Army and the former Comini Army, especially in Feite. After Lie took charge of the Luzon Army, in what aspects has the Luzon Army been strengthened, in what areas are there still deficiencies, and what are its advantages and disadvantages compared with the Imperial Army.
After a long conversation, and combined with the information obtained by the intelligence department, Cui Wenxiu got a rough idea of the current situation of the Luzon Army. It seemed that Frederick really wanted to swallow up Comini and South India as soon as possible. There are only 25 troops deployed in the entire Luzon mainland. Except for the 100,000 troops on the Manlong and Salween River lines, the other 50,000 troops are almost evenly distributed. Even the capital Robin City only has 10,000 troops. The team was used as a symbol, and veterans known for their conservatism were sent to Manlong and Patmao. It was obvious that they wanted to take a defensive position in Luzon, so that they could free up more strength and time to consolidate their position in South India as soon as possible. the situation in the Andan and Komini regions.
But what is worth noting is that almost all of the 100,000 troops in the Manlong area are elite Luzon troops. This made Cui Wenxiu shocked and angry. Logically speaking, the front line of defense against the Pasha people in the south should be the focus of the Luzon people's defense. , but Frederick obviously subverted this principle that had always been established in the minds of the Luzon people, and regarded the empire as the number one enemy. Of course, this may be because the Pasha people are still fighting with all forces in the Southern Alliance, but One hundred thousand elites, no matter how you say it, is enough to prove that the people of Luzon have been aware of the measures that their side may take and have made full preparations in advance. This greatly increases the difficulty for Cui Wenxiu to take surprise. It should be said that Once this news was confirmed, it was announced that the empire was unlikely to use Northern Luzon as its main position in the short term. If it wanted to take action against Luzon itself, it would have to wait until the construction of the southern Pamir fortress was completed.
"General Gudela, it is unrealistic to make plans on the Luzon mainland now. After hearing your introduction, this Hilliard is simply a stone that cannot be penetrated by oil or salt. No matter what we use, I am afraid that it is difficult to mobilize this guy. This Manlong City is like a lock that firmly locks our way south. Although there are only 10,000 defenders in Robin City, we have to bypass Manlong City and then "Running Robin" simply cannot achieve the purpose of a surprise attack. Without surprise, the surprise attack cannot achieve the desired effect." Qiu Zicheng was in a low mood. It's no wonder that he came here with great interest, but now he has no chance. It seems that the Tenth Legion will have to wait for a while before it can establish its power.
"Master Qiu, I'm afraid that's the case. Hilliard is rigid but not stupid. I think Frederick has probably already explained the importance of guarding Manlong. Even if we bypass Manlong, he only needs to send If a small group of troops harass our rear, we will not be able to calm down and fight, not to mention that our logistics support will also be greatly threatened." Gudela said with some regret, "Frederick is indeed a character. He has great influence on the empire. They also learned their strengths very quickly. For example, the empire strengthened the construction of mobile forces in the army transportation system. The Luzon army also imitated the empire in setting up special transportation clusters and used roads to quickly deploy troops on a large scale. The reason why our Comini collapsed Such rapid progress is also closely related to the greatly improved maneuver speed of the Luzon Army. Another example is that the construction of the empire's city defense system was very good. He secretly sent many construction technicians to the interior of the empire for reference. Now Manlong and Luo The construction of defense systems in cities such as Bin and other cities has undergone great changes, many of which drew on the strengths of imperial city construction."
