Niassis's decisiveness should be said to have played a big role in the partial escape of the two 10,000-person (cavalry) teams of the White Stork Corps. As the 10,000-person cavalry team of the White Stork Corps with the strongest mobility and combat effectiveness, Arthur Soon he led his ten thousand cavalry team to launch a resolute sniper battle in Lanbao City. In order to prevent Hansen's allies from being alerted, Cui Wenxiu did not dare to directly let the Rangers enter Blue Castle City. That would be too obvious. The Rangers were never used for defense. At this time, they appeared in Blue Castle without any notification. Near the castle, even the White Stork Army would realize something was wrong if they were slow, not to mention that the situation would be even more sensitive when the Hansen Alliance was engaged in a fierce battle with the Augsburg Army in the south.
Arthur's light cavalry was not able to play a big role in Blue Castle. The first division of the Empire's 7th Army, which took the initiative to attack, quickly surrounded the 20,000-strong White Stork Corps. However, the 10,000-strong cavalry team Timely reinforcements still opened up a hole for the 20,000th Regiment. The crazy attack of the 10,000th Cavalry of the White Stork Corps tore apart the encirclement of the First Division of the Seventh Army, allowing the 20,000th Regiment to break free, but Breaking free from the cage does not mean that you can escape. The subsequent follow-up of the Second Division of the Seventh Army soon re-encircled the 20,000-strong team that broke free from the cage. Only a small number of soldiers were able to escape, but when they escaped from the blue After the Fort City, they had escaped. Niasis almost immediately judged that the Tang Army's appetite was not just Lanbao City and Maina Province. Dexin and even the Destin Province were probably owned by the Tang Army. Where the goal is.
On the way to Destin, Niasis received an unfortunate battle report. The Dexin Province was lost! The defeated White Stork Corps was composed of 20,000 troops. It was obvious that their vigilance was much higher than that of the 20,000 troops stationed in Blue Fort City. When the Indian Legion started to move. They carefully assessed the situation and quickly retreated from Dexin Province. Facing a force five times their own, even a fool knew what strategy to adopt. This made Ying Jianming's attempt to outflank the opponent in vain, and Cui Wenxiu was very dissatisfied and resentful. The De'an Army's actions were slow. In fact, the Indian Legion is not slow, but it can only be said that they are very unlucky. A White Stork Army reconnaissance team that quietly conducted smuggling activities was caught smuggling traders in the border area by chance, and one of them escaped. The scout was worried that he would not be able to deliver the goods after returning. They had no choice but to falsely claim that they had discovered a large-scale gathering of Tang troops in the border area. As a result, all other comrades-in-arms were captured by Tang troops. Only he managed to escape.
This originally fictitious news suddenly attracted the attention of the White Stork Army stationed in Dexin Province. As a result, successive scout teams discovered that the Tang Army was indeed carrying out a secret military assembly in Pame Province, although it was still far away from the border area. However, there are no other targets around the Pame Province, except for the hinterland, which is the territory of the Luobi people in the north, and it is now also included in the Eastern Tengger County. Its goal is self-evident.
If you pay close attention, you can quickly find out the clues. When the Indian Army had just had time to enter Dexin Province, the commander of the White Stork Army already knew from the scale of the Tang Army's dispatch that this battle had no fighting significance. It was five times as large as There is no suspense about the outcome if we continue to fight with our own strength, and the Dexin Province is not a fortified city. If we can preserve our strength and return to Destin, which has a more solid foundation, it is the wisest choice.
The rapid retreat of the White Stork Army in Maina Province and Dexin Province made Cui Wenxiu very angry. He did not expect that the White Stork Army in these two provinces would be so cunning and dared to ignore it when they found that something was wrong. After asking for instructions, they ran all the way back to the Destin province without stopping. Their speed made one wonder if they had long since intended to evacuate this unfamiliar area and return to their own territory.
The White Stork Army that failed to destroy Maina Province and Dexin Province soon made the emperor taste the bitter fruit. The more complex terrain of Destin caused the two Ranger regiments to quickly encounter obstacles after making very smooth progress in the early stage. The mountainous area in central Destin became a strangulation formation composed of the White Stork Army's cavalry and infantry. The Tang Army's rangers encountered the toughest challenge in this area. The excellent White Stork Light Cavalry took advantage of the support of the local people. Constantly attacking in and out of the valleys in the mountainous and hilly areas, the infantry of the White Stork Army relied on the multi-level fortresses and outposts established in the mountainous areas to launch a counterattack against the following Seventh Army of the Tang Army. Although the Tang Army occupied a numerical advantage Absolute advantage, but facing the White Stork Army's strong attitude and flexible strategy, the Tang Army is still struggling, and will encounter considerable resistance if it moves forward.
After occupying the Dexin Province, the Indian Army was ordered by Cui Wenxiu to immediately advance westward into the Destin Province before they even had time to rest. The east side of the Destin Province has a slightly flatter terrain than the south and central parts. , the army advanced faster. The White Stork Army made full use of their light cavalry harassment tactics here. The Indian Army also paid a considerable price while forcibly advancing. It was not until another ranger regiment, Rope's 8th Ranger Regiment, arrived that the situation was reversed. At this time, the White Stork Army had completed its mission and successfully retreated to the Destin Province. Birja, the capital city in the northwest.
Niassis did not feel stable until he brought more than 10,000 troops into the city of Birja. Although he lost more than 6,000 infantry, this was a blessing in misfortune. 20,000 horsemen and at least 10,000 cavalry The team is still intact, and the 20,000-person team that retreated from Dexin Province is also intact. This makes Steven, the leader of the White Stork Corps, quite pleased. The main force of the White Stork Corps still has not suffered much damage. The three cavalrymen There are more than 30,000 infantry soldiers, and behind them is the Eastern Province of the Principality of Hanover. It is said that the Principality of Hanover even intends to rename the province of Destin to the New Eastern Province. I don’t know if it is out of consideration for the sentiments of other countries in the alliance or out of consideration. Due to the psychological burden of the local people, this name change has always been just a word and has not been implemented.
Putting his hands on the walls of the castle, Steven stared at the distance to the southeast. He was not worried about anything now. More than 60,000 troops were stationed in the solid city of Birja. No one could easily take this city from his own hands. The city was taken away, even when faced with a Tang army that was several times his own, Steven could still boast like this. Birja was obviously greatly influenced by his neighbors from the west. The entire city was completely based on the city and fortress style of his neighbors to the west. Construction and looping castle-like buildings constitute the mainstream of Birja City. Although the entire Birja City does not have the complete four-sided city walls of the eastern mainlanders, in Birja City, several huge castles are connected to each other by city walls. In fact However, an irregular city wall defense system has been formed on the city wall. Many important buildings in Birja are located in the city wall corridors between several large castles, while most of the buildings outside the city wall corridors are temporary. Sexual buildings or open-air markets.
"Steven, what are you worried about?" Niasis crossed his arms and stood side by side with Steven. The two have been partners for several years. Although they are both from the Principality of Defien, one is from the Principality. A small town in the south, one is from the capital of the northern part of the principality, but this does not affect the friendship between the two. Niasis has no prejudice against this general who comes from a noble family in the capital, although he also believes that he is also qualified to be the commander of the army. position, this does not affect his respect for the general.
"No, Niasis, there is nothing to worry about now. We have done better. It is undoubtedly irrational to ask our White Stork Army to defend three provinces. The number of Tang Army in front of us is too huge. What needs to be done now The decision is not made by us but by the alliance. If they decide to have a head-on showdown with the Tang people, then Birja is undoubtedly the best slaughterhouse. If the Tang army wants to win Birja, I will make them regret why they chose the profession of soldier. Of course, if the alliance does not plan to face off against the Tang army at this time, and cannot adopt other methods to calm the Tang people, then I think it is more appropriate for us to withdraw from Birja, because it is meaningless to fight this kind of battle without reinforcements. , this city will always fall into the hands of the Tang Army, which is five times our strength, I am not that arrogant, not to mention the Tang Army is not an Indian army."
Steven shrugged and elegantly took out his pipe and held it in his mouth. This was his habit. He always liked the aroma of tobacco when thinking about problems.
"Steven, I don't think so. Even if the alliance has no time to take care of it for the time being, the Hanoverians will probably not agree to let Birja fall into the hands of the Tang people. This would be like putting their Eastern Province under the tiger's mouth of the Tang people. They will have no appetite for food and no sleep for them, and they need the barrier of Birja." Nyasis frowned. The Hanoverians had already sent people to the city of Birja. Although they did not express their wishes clearly, the meaning revealed in their words was It's self-evident.
"Humph, we are the standing army of the Alliance, not cannon fodder for the Hanoverians. If they think Birja is very important to them, their First Army and their Principality Knights can definitely be pushed to the front line. If they really If I have the courage, I might consider helping them. If it's just words but no real results, then I have to forgive me for not accompanying them. Without the support of the alliance army, the White Stork Corps cannot withstand this city. "Steven doesn't mind what the Hanoverians think. The White Stork Army is a standing army of the alliance, but it comes from the Principality of Delfin and has little friendship with the Hanoverians.
