In the military camp ten miles outside Shuangdui City, the fighting was fierce and fighting spirit pervaded. An aura of imminent rain enveloped the entire military camp. This was originally a reserve training ground of the Shuangdui War Readiness Department and was temporarily requisitioned. The two-mile radius area has been classified as a military restricted area. Fortunately, this place is not restricted and few people come here. Of course, it is impossible to keep it secret for a long time, but there is no chance of anyone discovering anything unusual here within two or three days.
A military meeting was being held urgently in the commander's tent deep in the military camp. Wufeng did not enter Shuangdui City but directly bypassed Fucheng and came to this secret location. The Guards Corps and the Northwest Independent First Light Cavalry Division had arrived on time. In order to prevent the enemy from learning the information, the two divisions Strict restrictive measures have been adopted, and no one is allowed to leave the military camp. All supplies are guaranteed by the Shuangdui Prefecture combat readiness department prepared in advance.
"There are three major towns in the Pancha people's territory. Jaipurdu is the most important core of the tribe. Most of the tribe's nobles live here. The tribe's treasury is also here. Indians generally don't believe in money banks. , banks and other financial departments, and choose gold as the tribe's reserve fund, and the Pangzhe people are no exception." The person who was explaining was Yan Tong, the deputy commander of the Shuangdui Guard Division, who opened another map with a clatter. Showed to the generals present: "This is a rough map of Jaipur Ferry City. It marks the main streets of Jaipur Ferry City and our targets - the tribal treasury, the chief's palace and other residences of major nobles. location."
"This is a detailed map of Golok. Although Golok is not as prosperous as Jaipudu, it is an important gem distribution center and is also relatively close to several valleys in the middle section of the Capua River in the north. Those places are famous gold sand producing areas. There are several large-scale gem mines nearby, which make the nobles here rich." Yan Tong licked his dry lips and introduced in detail: "The most famous gem merchants' mansions are all separated from each other. Not far away, distributed on two main streets, relatively easy to control. By the way, there are also several grain merchants here that we have identified. These guys also make a lot of money by providing grain and other daily necessities to the miners in nearby mines. It’s so profitable, I’ve made enough dirty money.”
"The last picture is a block map of Selmes. This is the transfer point for the Indian slave trade. A large number of slaves from the Tengger Steppe are traded here. The plantations of Komini in the south and the Principality of Meili in the southwest. Masters all like to come here to buy slaves. You must not know the wealth of slave traders. Hey, according to intelligence, some slave traders even use solid gold toilets to relieve themselves! They are extremely extravagant. Desire is evident from this.”
Yan Tong's words immediately aroused the desire in the hearts of everyone, including Wu Feng. Even the richest families in the empire would not be able to do such a fight for wealth, although this does not explain these side effects. The wealth of the top nobles among the Zhe people is greater than that of the rich people in the empire, but at least it shows one thing. The net worth of these guys is beyond imagination.
"Okay, Yan Tong, today I don't want you to introduce these guys to the luxury of being a cover-up. You should talk about the layout of this battle and the things that need to be paid attention to in detail." Wu Feng glanced at the generals on both sides. , all of them blushed and were eager to try. Even Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu were not immune, let alone He Lianbo and his like.
"Yes, sir." Yan Tong smacked his lips and returned his attention to the business, "According to the deployment, the Hyderabad tribe will first stir up trouble to attract the main military strength of the Pangzhe people and drag them to the front line away from Sanya. To the north of the land. Our main light cavalry made a surprise attack to first capture the nearest Jaipur Ferry and the closer Golok, and then the following fast logistics troops must complete the intermediate route from Jaipur Ferry to Selms in the shortest possible time. The pontoon bridges of the two rivers, and then the part of our army that solved the Jaipur crossing quickly attacked Selms to complete the task; the part of our army that attacked Golok was responsible for flanking the main force of Pancha on the front line, which was confronting the Hyderabad department. Destroy the military power of the Pangzhe people in one fell swoop.”
"None of the three cities have walls and are located in plains, which is extremely beneficial for our army to carry out surprise attacks. Only the crossing from Jaipur to Selms requires the construction of two pontoon bridges, which is a test for our logistics troops. All three cities Our intelligence personnel arrived in advance to monitor and communicate, and there are guides at important targets everywhere, responsible for guiding the attack targets."
"Now I would like to introduce the military composition of the Pancha people. The main military strength of the Pancha people is about 80,000, which is divided into the escort army and the guard army. The escort army is a personal army under the direct command of the chief. It has strong combat effectiveness and a large number of people. At about 30,000 people, the garrison is an ordinary standing force, about 50,000 people, with average combat effectiveness. It is expected that Hyderabad's military provocation will attract a military force of 30,000 to 40,000 people from Punjab, and the remaining 40,000 to 50,000 will be our upcoming The main enemy we face. The nobles in the other three places all have private armies in varying numbers, which are usually controlled by individual nobles. Only when the whole clan faces an emergency will they be under the unified command of the chief. Since we have adopted strict confidentiality Measures, it is estimated that people on the sidelines cannot predict our actions, and this phenomenon will not occur, but in specific offensive and defensive battles, we will definitely encounter these private armies. The combat effectiveness of these private armies varies, and the total number is 30,000. about."
"The military strength in the three places is not evenly distributed. Jaipudu has the strongest military strength, estimated to be around 30,000, followed by Golok with about 15,000 men, and Selmes again with only about 5,000 men. , Of course, these are excluding the troops attracted by the Hyderabad tribe. The specific number may be different, which requires the leading general to be flexible." Yan Tong's words did not have any emotion, although other people The generals were a little unable to restrain themselves, but he was the only one who acted unusually calm.
As soon as Yan Tong's words came to an end, the generals below couldn't help but whisper among themselves. The luxury of the people on the side greatly stimulated their desire to conquer. Of course, they also knew that the purpose of this battle was to seize wealth. Otherwise, Lord Jiedushi would not have traveled so far to come here.
Cold eyes passed over the generals, like cooling liquid sprinkled on the already slightly heated minds of the generals. The heated discussion immediately subsided, and the generals' eyes fell on Wu Feng, waiting for the last words of the coach. arrange.
"Just now Yan Tong has introduced to you in quite detail. During this Western Expedition to Pangzhe, the Shuangdui Prefecture Autonomous Government Intelligence Agency and the Shuangdui Garrison Division have done very solid and detailed work in advance. The intelligence we have obtained is detailed and The accuracy is evident. Just because we have the initiative in terms of intelligence does not mean that we can easily complete this task. The Pangzhe people are by no means as cowardly as we thought. We already know the combat effectiveness of their escorts and have Not much weaker than us, I hope everyone will maintain the necessary vigilance, fight the lion with all your strength, fight the rabbit with all your strength, and don't capsize in the gutter!" He first raised his voice and then suppressed it. The tendency of Wu Feng's words was very obvious, and it was also a message for a certain person. Some hot-headed generals sounded the alarm.
"I would like to remind everyone once again that our goal this time has been set long ago. I don't want to see the scope expanded to anyone outside the goal. The Panja people have five million residents, and a few nobles cannot represent them all. We adopt the method of attacking the minority to avoid over-stimulating the outsiders. If this group of nobles is overthrown, a new group can be replaced. If it arouses the resistance of the entire clan, then we will lose more than we gain. Our goal is just to obtain the original members of the nobles. The handful of nobles who are hostile to us have taken back the wealth that should belong to us, and they don’t want to change anything else. I hope our army can clearly express this meaning and don’t create extraneous matters!”
The Zhaipu ferry is still so prosperous on a summer night. People who have been busy for a day enjoy the gifts of nature in the gentle cool breeze. This is a rare cool night. Although midsummer has passed, the sultry temperature on the Senger Plain does not seem to have dropped much. Everyone wants to miss such a pleasant night. Take a comfortable fragrant bath and make a pot of black tea. Rich people can naturally go to the opera house to enjoy operas from the Western Continent, and ordinary people can naturally go to the spacious open-air theater to enjoy their own ethnic song and dance performances. No matter what, this is a night worth remembering.
As time goes by, except for a few places that are open all night, the lights are still bright, and the vast majority of residents have fallen asleep. However, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats rushed into the city of Jaipur, shattering the sleep of the residents on the street. While cursing this group of daredevils running horses late at night, they continued their respective dreams. Only a few bright-minded people vaguely understood I was a little surprised. The sound of horse hooves did not sound like one or two messengers, but like a large group of riders passing by. It's just that such a large group of riders were running at the chief's station late at night. How come no one of the patrolling soldiers paid attention
Before these people could understand, the shrill horn sounded almost simultaneously in the guard camp in the west and the guard camp in the south. In an instant, the entire Zhaipu Ferry suddenly became noisy like boiling water, and the door opened. , shouts, crying, footsteps, and the sound of horse hooves spread rapidly throughout the entire Jaipur Ferry like an infectious disease.
The hurried and panicked footsteps stopped suddenly outside the door, and an anxious voice mixed with panic came in along with the "tuk-tuk-tuk" knock on the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The woman who woke up from her sleep rubbed her sleepy eyes, pulled the silk quilt that was sliding aside to cover her naked body, and glanced at the fat man next to her who was snoring loudly. The huge palm was still pressed on the breast of the other woman sleeping on the left. The bruises on her breasts showed how intense the battle last night was.
