Cui Wenxiu nodded, "Although Zeppelin led the German Guard Guard Division, they have worked hard, but after all, they have not experienced any major battles, and they do need one or two real battles to exercise and test the combat effectiveness of this unit. Fortunately, this time The war will not last short, and I believe everyone will have a chance."
"Wenxiu, I saw that your division is preparing for the march. Are you going to set off again?" Mulige finally brought the topic back to business.
"Well, my lord has given the order. I am just waiting for you two." Cui Wenxiu then took out a secret letter and briefly read out the order: "I now order Mulige to be the leader and Shalang to be the assistant to station at Bo Yue. At the lakeside (the core area of the Mote people), the First Division of the Tengger Army immediately launched a sweep from the shores of Poyue Lake."
"Oh? Your division is going to conduct a sweep soon?" Mulige and Shalang were both stunned, and then filled with envy.
"Well, I guess the problem is the supply problem. Now the Guards Division and the Zeppelin Division have to follow up. This logistical problem, especially the problem of ensuring food and grass, is very stressful. This grassland is dominated by the Mott cavalry. Once After the food and grass are exhausted, I'm afraid transportation issues will have to be put on the agenda. It will be a difficult problem to ensure logistics transportation." Cui Wenxiu is also a little worried. He only has one division. How to ensure the smooth transportation of these four hundred miles really needs to be carefully considered. After thinking about it, it seems that even Mr. Li doesn’t have a better way now. Although war has to pay a price, it is an old saying that soldiers and horses must go first before food and grass are used. If logistics cannot be guaranteed, then this battle will be really difficult to fight. .
"Your Excellency, you may have considered this. Molun has mobilized all the transport vehicles that Qingyang can mobilize, and shipped a large amount of grain and grass to follow us closely. This guy Molun is really willing to give up this time, not only Qingyang can All the horses and vehicles were requisitioned, and some vehicles were also borrowed from Jinzhou. I estimate that the food they transported this time will be enough for at least two months." Sha Lang comforted Cui Wenxiu with a smile.
"I don't want to think about it. Mr. Li personally ordered that Mo Lun must prepare everything within a week, otherwise he will be held responsible for his dereliction of duty. Mo Lun was so scared that he peed his pants and didn't get a good rest for a week." Mulig also laughed. Then continue the conversation.
Hearing what the two said, Cui Wenxiu felt reassured. It seemed that Master Jiedushi had already prepared for a protracted war. He was still worried about the logistics. He believed that he would have enough means in more than two months. Forcing the Mot people to stand up and make a complete end.
Guldan and Kurdo watched helplessly as more than 100,000 Northwest troops were entrenched on the shores of Poyue Lake and never took a step forward. A month passed in a flash, but there was no movement. The ranger troops dispatched circled around The northwest army on the shores of Poyue Lake looked around for several times but could not find a suitable target. The more than 100,000 northwest army was like a giant hedgehog entrenched in the core area of the Mote territory, provoking wantonly, and just waited patiently and hoped. The long-awaited decisive battle has arrived.
This is not the only thing that makes Guldan extremely anxious. Various rumors have been rampant in the tribe. The Bein people in the northern part of the Heathrow Empire have launched another rebellion. The Heathrow people can no longer care about the Mote people and have abandoned them. After defeating the Mote people, Guersufu has received the title officially awarded by the Tanghe Empire and has become the legal leader of the Mote people. The Luobei people are already at war with the Chidi people on the West Tengger Grassland. The Eighth Tenge The war here is imminent, and the Luobi people no longer have too much energy to control the Mote people. These rumors have caused great repercussions in the tribe. Not only those who were originally opposed to them began to jump out and publicly accuse themselves, but also Those who originally supported him became ambiguous in their words, and the ordinary herdsmen under the nobles complained even more and moved to areas close to the Luobi people's territory. Not only were their livestock grazing unable to be guaranteed, but a large number of livestock were starving. Death, many people have begun to ask their masters to consider their lives in the second half of the year, and many herdsmen have even begun to flee at night. The 200,000 Mott army gathered here has also become restless, demanding a decisive battle with the Northwest Army. The voices are getting louder and louder.
However, Cuerdo firmly opposed this. The Northwest Army, which had the advantage of infantry, really had the upper hand against these light cavalry-based troops on the grassland. If they thought they wanted to defeat the opponent with their numerical advantage, Cuerdo believed that this was not possible. Pure daydreaming. He has already deeply understood the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army. Recalling that he had the upper hand and was still beaten to pieces by the remnant army led by Li Wufeng under Qingyang City, his anger was always replaced by a slowly rising calmness. .
However, the situation of the Mote people in front of him also made him consider that if these nobles could not endure it anymore, the foundation of Guldan's political power would collapse, and those nobles would most likely immediately throw themselves into the arms of Li Wufeng, servilely. If you ask that Gursufu to come back, the interests of the Luobi people will be greatly harmed, and the Mote people will in turn become a sharp knife stuck in the waist of the Luobi people. This is unacceptable.
"General, we can't wait any longer. I have received a secret report that the Northwest Army has started burning the pastures around Poyue Lake again. Now is the time when the young grass sprouts and begins to grow. They are going to destroy us, the Mote people. There is no way to survive. Once these pastures are burned down by them, there will be no harvest at least this season. What will the livestock eat? How will so many of us tribesmen survive this year?" Guldan, who rushed in, could no longer keep calm. roared.
The nobles in their account have made it clear that if they don't take action, they will have to take action themselves. Although the true meaning of the words behind this is not stated, the underlying meaning is unmistakable. He only Having been a chief for less than two months, I'm afraid it's time for him to die.
Kurdo was pacing in the tent with his hands behind his hands impatiently. Li Wufeng was so vicious. His move directly drove the Motes to a dead end. If this situation were allowed to continue, even if his own side could provide assistance when the Northwest Army withdrew, The opponent was severely beaten, but the pasture was destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of people in the Mott clan still cannot survive this year. Those Mott nobles will never tolerate this kind of thing happening, but if they send troops to attack now, they are obviously going to die. Facing the powerful infantry defense system of the Northwest Army, Cuerdo simply did not believe that he could win.
"Master Chief, I understand how you feel, but how confident are you that you are going to fight Li Wufeng in such a panic?" Kurdo ignored him and asked, "I'm afraid you don't have the combat effectiveness of Li Wufeng's Gaoyue infantry. Clearly, now they are just waiting for you to come to your doorstep. They set fire to the pastures with the very clear purpose of making you step into this trap. Can't you see? Those light cavalry of yours just charge straight up, I'm afraid the loss will be great." Although he was scolding the other party's stupidity and short-sightedness in his heart, Kurdo still used words that were easier for the other party to accept considering the other party's identity.
"Humph, General Kurdo, you didn't say that when you supported our uprising. At that time, you vowed to help us eliminate the Tanghe people who dared to invade the Tengger Grassland. But now, Li Wufeng has already I have been resting by the Poyue Lake for more than a month, but you are as fearful of the enemy as tigers. I simply cannot believe how you Luobi people can compete with the Chidi people for hegemony on the Tengger Grassland? I heard that General Kurdo is also known as the Conqueror of the East. Three warriors, what will be the performance of the warriors like this? If the general still feels that he dare not touch the people of Tanghe, then I, Guerdan, have nothing to say. I only blame myself for being blind. I can only lead us bravely myself. The Mote warriors are going to fight against these Tanghe people who dare to invade the land where we have lived for generations!" At this time, Guldan could no longer care about the other party's reaction. The huge pressure had already caused him to speak indiscriminately, and his angry eyes were fixed on Lock firmly on the opponent's livid face.
Facing such rude and unrestrained words from the other party, Kurdo was also furious. No one dared to despise himself so much. This idiot thought that he could deal with the fox-like Northwesters with the bravery of an ordinary man? How could he blindly fall in love with this guy in the first place? Kurdo suppressed the anger in his heart, but when he saw the bloodshot eyes and tired look on the other person's face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He could understand the other person's... At that time, he felt the painful dilemma of being in a dilemma, but now if he attacked rashly, he would only see people leaving and no one coming back. He did not dare to risk his own soldiers.
"Master Chief, I ask you to calm down your heated head. This will not help solve the problem. We Luobi people always keep our word. I myself have never said that I will not help you fight off the aggression of the Tanghe people. But before taking action, we must have a careful plan and the necessary assurance." Kurdo took a deep breath and said calmly. After many trials and hardships, he is no longer the same as he was under General Tu Da. Impulsive, especially since he is still a guest here, and his mission is to maintain the power of the Mote people who are pro-Luobi people. He has to be cautious. The Mote people must not fall into the hands of Li Wufeng.
Hearing that there were signs of looseness in the other party's words, just like a drowning man suddenly finding a life-saving straw, Guldan's spirit was lifted. He took two hurried steps to Kurdo and said in a pleading tone: "Kurdo General, I have lost my composure, but please understand my difficulties. If we do not respond, I am afraid that my group of nobles will really rebel and surrender to the enemy. I think you are not willing to see this scene happen. ? As long as there is a way to deal with the Tanghe people in front of us, I think we are willing to pay no matter how high the price is."
