"Cui Wenxiu, male, 38 years old, originally from Zhongzhou of the Tanghe Empire, was born as a farmer. He later joined the Tanghe Empire City Guards and became a subordinate of Li Yuanfeng. Li Wufeng left the northwest, and Cui Wenxiu followed him, and later became the second guard of Qingyang The commander of the division began his military career. He was dismissed by Li Wufeng due to the burning and killing of troops in the First Battle of Northern Luzon. He later formed the Northwest Cavalry and was the founder of the Northwest Cavalry. He served successively as the commander of the regiment and the commander of the theater, and was closely associated with the current Tang Empire. Liang Chongxin, the commander of the First Army Corps, was the leader of the two major factions of the Tang Dynasty military. This man was especially good at using troops to win by surprise. He liked to take dangerous routes and hide the right fit in the strangeness. He helped Li Wufeng conquer the Western Regions, the nomads in the Tengger Grassland, and the Indian region. He has made great contributions and has high prestige in the Tengger Grassland, the Western Regions and the Indian region. He is one of Li Wufeng's confidants and has been the military commander of the Central Continent of the Tang Empire since March 700."
The bland introduction seemed to interest Suvorov. The intelligence officer's introduction reflected that this guy who may become the biggest enemy of the alliance's eastward expansion seems to have all his achievements in areas outside the Tang Dynasty. , on the contrary, there was no more introduction to this guy in Tanghe itself. This shows that this guy is very adaptable and likes to show off his military talents in foreign wars, which also means that he may become his focus.
"No more? Is it that simple?" Seeing the intelligence officer raising his head and looking at him, Suvorov frowned and asked. If it were just these things, the alliance's intelligence department was really bad. Such an introduction would not be possible at all. You don't need to collect it, you can get it. What you need to know is not just a few empty words about making surprise moves and making soldiers move dangerously, but his performance in each battle is what you need to focus on.
"Uh. The staff department is still sorting out the specific battle situation under Cui Wenxiu's command. It may take a while to send it to you." The intelligence officer replied respectfully, "You also need me to introduce to you the information that has now entered Inde The various Tang army units in An area?"
"Well, in addition to the original Indian Army and the Seventh Army of the Tang Army, there seems to be a more powerful Jerok Army and some cavalry that have also entered the Hyderabadi territory. I want to know about these two armies. Situation, by the way, how many troops followed Choi Wenxiu when he arrived at Hailum?”
"The Jerok Army is one of Li Wufeng's leading troops. It used to be responsible for Li Wufeng's northern defense. The main target of defense was the Kaman people. This time it is the first time the defense has entered the central continent. The commander of the army is named Kang Jianguo. It is said that he once served as Li Wufeng's guard captain is very loyal to Li Wufeng. But judging from the record, there is nothing special about this regiment. There are also two ranger regiments that entered the Indeyan Kingdom from the Tengger Grassland. The northern region, but we have not yet grasped the specific situation of these two ranger regiments. It is estimated that they should be two of the six ranger regiments formed by Li Wufeng." After a pause, the intelligence officer sorted out the information in his hand, "Cui Wenxiu came from Northern Luzon. Following him should be two divisions. The number shows that it is the Tenth Army of the Tang Army. This army is a newly established unit of the Tang Army. The source seems to be the surrendered army of the original Tang River Empire, and its combat effectiveness is ominous. , the situation of senior officers in the legion has not yet been obtained.”
"So, the strength of the Tang Army in the Indian region has exceeded 450,000?" Suvorov took a moment to calculate the strength of the enemy to the east. It far exceeded the strength he had in his hands. This does not include the Indian troops attached to the Tang Dynasty, but now the combat effectiveness of the Indian troops is almost negligible. In front of the huge Tang army, they are indeed not worth mentioning. At most, it acts as a local security force.
Although the Tang army was powerful, it could not cover the sky with just one hand. In addition to their own side, they faced the Luzon people who controlled De'an, South India. The Luzon people still had 200,000 troops stationed in De'an, South India. Moreover, there are more than 150,000 reserves in Comini in the south that can be put into battle in an emergency. Now fate has firmly tied the Luzon people to their own side, whether it is the Luzon people or the If our own side wants to fight against Cui Wenxiu alone, the power in Cui Wenxiu's hands is somewhat insufficient. If the two sides unite, the situation may be reversed, and the Tang army will be at a disadvantage. Of course, the premise is that the Luzon people must work together with their own side to unified command. It seems that it is not that easy to achieve this. Suvorov knows this deeply. No matter how fanciful it is when forming an alliance, once their own interests are actually involved, it will be difficult to coordinate. Difficult.
"It should be about 470,000 people, but the configuration of the Tang Army is not very accurate. The Jerok Army actually has six divisions. This is not in line with their regular configuration, because some divisions are equipped with enhanced strength, so they It is impossible to accurately grasp their specific number of troops." The intelligence officer placed a large stack of information on Suvorov's desk. Although the general liked to read to him, many things cannot be remembered after listening to them once and need to be pondered over and over again. chew.
He waved his hand to indicate that the intelligence officer could leave, and Suvorov was the only one left in the room. The climate of Blue Castle is somewhat similar to that of the northern region of the Alliance, but it is drier and the wind and sand are stronger. This makes Suvorov somewhat uncomfortable. Fortunately, the climate has gradually warmed up. The terrain of West India is flat, but there are some The area is desert and Gobi. In terms of land fertility, it is far behind other parts of India. However, it is the most famous long-staple cotton producing area in India. In addition, it is rich in gemstone mineral deposits, has a large gold output, and has a large population. But it is far inferior to other areas in India. The alliance has long been secretly deployed in this area. However, the threat from the nomads in the north has always prevented the alliance from wholeheartedly pursuing the interests of this land. It is not until the power of the Luobi people is greatly reduced that the alliance can be truly considered. Now you can free up your hands to plan the development here.
However, the alliance was obviously a step too late. The Tang people, who were originally unable to intervene at all, actually solved the problem of the Western Regions in a few years. They also captured Northern Luzon from the Luzon people, and suddenly pushed the border to the eastern border of India. Tenge The grassland has also become a performance venue for the Tang people. It's funny to say that the reason why the alliance was able to free up its hands was because the Luobei people suffered a disastrous defeat in the contest with the Tang people. But now the Luobei people seem to have come together with the Tang people again. This is a crisis At the beginning, Suvorov thought so, but he was not able to intervene in the affairs of the north for the time being. The task given to him by the alliance leaders was to expand the alliance's power eastward, but now he has encountered huge resistance, and may even Let all the previous efforts be in vain.
Pushing open the window, some cold air rushed in, which made Suvorov's mind clear up a lot. Cui Wenxiu is not a kind person. The Tang army is powerful. Although we have joined forces with the Luzon people, we still want to let the Tang people Suvorov has no confidence in accepting the status quo agreement proposed by his side and the Luzon people. Maybe after the first battle, the Tang army realized that it would cost a lot to defeat their own side and the Luzon people. Maybe they would consider this proposal, but now, Suvorov doesn't think the Tang people will be so easy to talk to.
But how to fight this battle? Suvorov was a little confused. Our interests were in De'an in Western India, but the Luzon people only wanted to defend De'an in southern India. Their interests were different. You can imagine how difficult it would be to unite. Moreover, our side and Luzon Everyone is on the defensive, and defense is always passive. The Tang Army can choose to launch an attack anywhere from the north to the entire crescent-shaped defense line. At least in the early stages of the war, the initiative will be in the hands of the Tang Army. Think about the Tang Army's Suvorov, an army of more than 400,000, felt numb for a while. With the nomadic cavalry as the backing, the Tang army would be much more relaxed whether it was a tough battle or a field battle. The powerful maneuverability of the nomadic cavalry was enough to make any army feel the two wings and Danger to the back.
Unless a pure defense relies on the city to defend, it will never be able to withstand the Tang army, which is twice as strong as our own. The flat plains in India are certainly suitable for our own heavy cavalry to charge, but it also provides the rangers with opportunities for surprise attacks. In this natural venue, Suvorov has no idea who will have the last laugh in this war. The heavy pressure and responsibility prevent Suvorov from making decisions easily. Now he needs to calm down and calmly observe the Tang Army’s movements and recklessness. Being impulsive will only lead you to hell.
With a slight sigh, Suvorov straightened his clothes. He needed to see the Luzon military envoy. Although the leaders of both sides had reached an agreement, it still had to be implemented on specific matters. Haosheng studied for a while, what should be the next step? Can the two sides join forces to take advantage of the Tang Army's unstable foothold to launch a wave of offensive to test the Tang Army's details? This is the main topic that Suvorov hopes to discuss with the other party. Passive defense can only It will put the weak in more and more trouble. Now that it is certain that war is inevitable, the most important thing is not to take into account other things, and to use all means to attack and weaken the other side.
However, this proposal needs the support of the people of Luzon. It is impossible for our family to undertake such a big idea. The Tang army is not a vegetarian. Once they are bitten by them, it may bring disaster to the army, so Suwaro The husband really hopes to get the support of the people of Luzon. If he can persuade the people of Luzon to let them participate in this plan, then he will be much more confident. Whether this treasure can be secured depends on what the people of Luzon think. .
