Bayin Zhuo's pair of brown eagle eyes stared forward under his towering eyebrows. In the distance, a strong horse rolled up yellow dust and rushed towards this direction. No need to ask, it was naturally time for the raid team he sent to report the situation. .It has been three days since entering the hinterland of the Kaman people, and we have not yet found a suitable target for attack. All we have caught in the past two days are some small fish and shrimps, which have no taste at all. Master Bo confessed that he must do his best. Sexual chaos has disrupted the southern region of the Kaman people, forcing the Kaman people to be unable to gain a foothold in the northern plains. He must seize the time. I heard that the Fifth Cavalry Regiment may also join the battle. He cannot be defeated by the Qiur people. The comparison is over.
Although he thought so in his mind, Bayin Zhuo also knew that as the leader of a ranger regiment, he not only had to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors, but also ensured the safety of his troops, especially when going deep into the territory of Kaman, a powerful military country. Care must be taken to prevent the failure of stealing chickens from losing a handful of rice. However, as a nomadic man from the Tengger Grassland, Bayinzhuo always has a desire to fight in his heart, and can freely fight with the enemy in the enemy's territory. Let's have a chase. This is the tactic that the nomads are best at. I hope that the beacon fire I ignite on this land can attract one or two worthy opponents to play with.
Jianma stood still in front of Bayin Zhuo. His heavy breathing could not hide the excitement in his eyes. Bayin Zhuo was overjoyed. It seemed that this guy Meng Leng must have gained something big. Otherwise, this scout who reported the situation I won't be so happy.
"Report!" Even his voice was a few degrees higher than usual, and his chest was much higher than usual.
"Say!" Bayin Zhuo was also a little curious. He didn't know what kind of big fish this guy Meng Leng had caught, and even his subordinates behaved like this.
"The 20,000th Cavalry Commander of the 1st Ranger Regiment, Mr. Monlen, reported yesterday's battle situation to the Corps Commander. The 20,000th Cavalry intercepted a Kaman baggage transport team on the No. 3 Regional Highway yesterday morning and burned the enemy's long-range There were more than 30 catapults, more than 20 elevated crossbows, and more than 200 carts of grain and grass. Yesterday afternoon, the 20,000th Cavalry ambushed a wedding team near Rocky City in Area 3 and eliminated more than 200 enemy troops. people, and captured more than 20 prisoners.”
"Oh?" A mere twenty captives deserve such a big book to report to him. This only shows that there must be something special among the captives. That's why Meng Leng showed off in such a big way. Bayin Zhuo has so much respect for himself. The subordinates understood it very well, and their curiosity was suddenly aroused.
"The bride-to-be among the captives is said to be the nephew of a big nobleman among the Kaman people, and most of the people accompanying them are the nobles of the Kaman people. Master Mengleng does not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he specially sent a young man to report to you. .However, according to our scout observation, after we ambush this team, a 10,000-person Kaman infantry team and two 1,000-cavalry team stationed in Kilo City have been urgently dispatched to search the third area, and near the fourth There are also more than 10,000 Kaman troops in Kapil City in area No. 3 moving towards area No. 3. Master Mengleng said that it looked like he had stung a hornet's nest and asked for reinforcements to completely annihilate these two Kaman armies. So he specially came here I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, for your approval."
It can be seen that this messenger soldier was specially selected by Meng Leng to ask for reinforcements. Bayinzhuo was very satisfied with Meng Leng's performance. It was not that Meng Ling led his team to achieve such results, but that Meng Ling could calmly analyze it. Make wise judgments based on the environment and enemy situation. Unlike some military leaders who, as soon as they see a fighter opportunity, they don't care whether they can wipe out all the enemy troops. They only care about whether their headquarters can win the battle and don't care about anything else. Like this time, there were more than 20,000 enemy troops from two places. If you rely solely on a 10,000-horse team, although you can win through surprise tactics, it is impossible to expand the results and achieve total annihilation. Asking for help from your superiors, although it seems a bit weak, can ensure the maximum results of the battle. , this is the mind and vision that a general must possess, and tribesmen like myself are most lacking in this aspect. It seems that Meng Leng should be the next batch of recommended candidates to enter the Northwest Military Academy for comprehensive training. Although he was a little reluctant to choose the candidate, Bayin Zhuo still made a decision secretly.
But now is not the time to think about these funeral affairs. How to completely annihilate the two Kaman armies is the top priority. According to the arrangement, Bo Jinchen divided the southern Kaman area, which was listed as the key target of your attack, into eight regions. According to The distance from the base area - Jiama City and the defensive strength of the Kaman people were graded. Areas No. 3 and 4 are already the heartland of the southern Kaman people. They need to go four to five hundred miles deep into the Kaman territory, and there are Considerable troops are stationed in the central cities of both regions.
However, probably because it is the core area, the Kaman people will relax their vigilance. They did not expect that their side would dare to leap forward thousands of miles and penetrate directly into the central area, which they regard as the richest and safest. If they can launch a beautiful annihilation in this area War, and cooperating with some other means, I am afraid that the Kaman people will feel that someone has stabbed them in the heart and sprinkled a handful of salt. Thinking of this, Bayinzhuo couldn't help but have a sinister look on the corner of his mouth. With a smile, this kind of battle is what he advocates and is good at most. It is really satisfying to use one's own strengths to defeat the enemy's weaknesses.
Bo Jinchen's harassing tactics indeed caused great trouble to the Kaman people, especially the Kaman people's prime minister, who was furious about it. Gomez did not expect that the Tanghe people would be so difficult to deal with, and they would even attack him. Even after agreeing to abandon Heishan and Longquan, they still refused to give up. They did not take over Heishan and Longquan to solve the refugee problem. Instead, they used the key point of Jiama to counter their own side, directly endangering the rule of the empire. This opponent in front of them is really a bad opponent. The guy who acted according to common sense actually adopted this ancient but very effective method of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, which caused the entire southern region to be in turmoil and all the trees and grass were in war. The worst thing was that Knox's nephew was taken hostage by the Tanghe people. This This kind of thing has never happened to the Tanghe people who always pay attention to reputation. Such changes indicate that the Tanghe people will become more and more unscrupulous in the future, and they need to have a more comprehensive arrangement when considering response plans.
It took a lot of work to calm down the southern nobles. Now the pressure on the southern nobles headed by Duke Knox is even greater. Their relatives, nephews, and relatives have been kidnapped, and their wealth and money have been looted. In the past, it was only possible for the Bein people in the north to invade the south. It is happening again in the south, which is simply unacceptable to the southern nobles. The southern nobles have always been Gomez's support in the court. If they really lose their support, I am afraid that the northern nobles headed by Vasili can create many troubles at any time. Trouble, Gomez had to think about how to solve this problem, although he also knew what Li Wufeng was doing.
But it is obviously impossible to give up Pinglu and Qinghe. Not to mention that the southern expedition cost so much money and food. The issue of stabilizing domestic food prices that was just reached with the northern and southern nobles was based on the carving up of the land in Pinglu and Qinghe. , if these two places are abandoned because of this matter, it will undoubtedly be a waste of food. It will only immediately destroy the immediately reached agreement. The empire will fall into a serious food shortage. This is absolutely unacceptable, and it will also make the nobles feel even more dissatisfied with themselves. trust.
Gomez, who has been thinking behind closed doors in his house for half an afternoon because of this matter, has not been able to find a suitable way to resolve this contradiction. Even if he expands his army, it is impossible to get rid of the current predicament immediately. It seems that the only way is to march from the south. Some of the troops were mobilized to return north, and then concentrated on retaking Jiama, and reconnecting Jiayuguan-Jiama-Fanlin into a solid defensive chain.
But according to the information sent back by Maili, the Tanghe people and the Jerok people have tried their best to build Jiama into a steel fortress. Not only have all the city walls been demolished, reinforced and raised, they have also dredged the moat and equipped them with a large number of long-range strike weapons. The city is densely covered with armor and horses, and in the early days, as many as 120,000 troops were stationed in Jiama City. Now there are more than 70,000 troops stationed in Jiama City, and there are tens of thousands of nomadic cavalry wandering around to support the armor and horses at any time. It is obvious that Li Wufeng's subordinates also realized how great the threat Jiama was to the empire. On the one hand, they used nomadic cavalry to continuously harass and attack the interior of the empire. On the other hand, the nomadic cavalry's wandering also gave their own troops who wanted to concentrate their forces to besiege Jiama. Bringing huge threats from the flanks, the mobility advantages of the nomadic cavalry can be fully demonstrated in this large plain area, but their own side has to run exhausted to deal with possible dangers everywhere.
Gomez, who had been thinking hard for a long time, could not think of a better solution. Army expansion is inevitable. The performance of the Baiins in recent times has not caused any surprises. It seems that they are much more honest and allow themselves to have more opportunities. There was a moment of respite, but Gomez knew that this was just the calm before the storm. The castles and fortresses they built in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains in the north were like steel needles piercing Gomez's heart. According to intelligence, the construction of these castles and fortresses was supported by Tanghe people's architects and skilled workers. This was clearly Li Wufeng's conspiracy. Diplomacy at a distance and close attack had become Li Wufeng's most typical diplomatic and military strategy. Once the Baiin people's defense system After being consolidated, they can rely on these fortifications to launch wave after wave of never-ending offensives. Gomez knew that maintaining peace with the Bain people was drinking poison to quench thirst, but he had to endure it for the sake of the southern expedition. Fortunately, at home The reserve force has a good training mechanism and can be replenished immediately. However, the top priority can only be to mobilize some troops from the southern expedition army to deal with the increasingly severe situation in the south.
A thick haze floated on Gomez's fat face, lingering, and an ominous shadow shrouded Gomez's heart like a Satanic curse.
