Chapter 1362
Even Cui Wenxiu did not expect the Luzons' offensive to be so agile and clean. Although he also expected that the Luzons might use the opportunity of their own and Hansen's Allied Forces to launch an offensive, he did not expect that the Luzons' offensive would be so quick and decisive. The Luzons' army of the two corpses hit Selms and Jaipurdu like two sudden fists. The quasi-territories of these two empires were the empire's weaknesses, and Frederick and Kruff were also aware of this. Now the people and the Tang people are getting closer and closer, and they are determined to throw themselves into the arms of the Tang Empire. The voice of the tribes of the Bianzha tribe asking the Bianzha to become an imperial county is getting higher and higher. Once the Bianzha becomes a county in the Tang Empire, the blade of the empire can be directly mounted on the neck of the Luzon Kingdom, so that the Luzha can feel the coolness of the blade every time the Luzha takes a deep breath.
Destroying the reputation that the Tang Dynasty had just established here seems to be a good choice. Although Frederick had some doubts about the large-scale Northern Expedition, he still agreed with this choice. At least he could avoid the counterattack of the elite Tang army. Moreover, the Tang army rangers seemed unlikely to be deployed in the area of the Zang territory. Even if they were arranged in this area, according to Frederick's prediction, as long as the Luzon army could fight quickly, they could completely retreat to Luzon after solving the strategic goals.
It should be said that the Luzons' attack on Jaipudu was perfect. The empire did not station troops in Jaipudu. According to the agreement reached by the senior management of Xijiang, Xijiang did not station regular troops in the three cities of Bazhai. The defense of the three places was undertaken by the Bazhai New Army established under the guidance of Xijiang. However, with the development of the situation, although the Bazhai New Army was established, its scale was greatly reduced. Only 50,000 of the 100,000 were named Bazhai New Army, and the remaining 50,000 were included in the guard and defense forces. The main force of Bazhai New Army advanced westward to Lahore, and the remaining 20,000 Bazhai New Army was also stationed in Selms. In Jaipudu, only 30,000 police defense forces were stationed.
Although he was reminded by Selms, when the new army in the Zhazan army had not yet been able to formally take over the security and defense forces, the Luzons crossed the northern border and launched an attack on Jaipurdo and Selms. Jaipurdo's security and defense forces only carried out a short and ineffective resistance and then collapsed.
The Fourth Corps of the Luzon Royal Family was undertaken by the Luzon Kingdom. A fast corps with a very good reputation in the Luzon Kingdom. Although this corps that used southern ponies to form a considerable transport vehicle, it was not as effective as the rapid response division of the Tang Dynasty, it had been greatly improved compared to the original situation. At least in this battle, the Fourth Corps of the Luzon fully demonstrated their combat effectiveness, flexible and fast raiding ability, and strong strike ability. Although the security and defense forces resisted with the advantage of geographical advantages, the Luzon people were prepared and soon captured the not-rigid and solid city walls. The fragile psychological quality of the security forces exposed by the security forces in actual combat also made the army unable to resist. The Jaipu Du can be said to have fallen overnight.
However, the attack on Selms unexpectedly encountered trouble. When the attacking striker of the 7th Luzon Corps arrived at the outskirts of Selms, he caught up with the 20,000 New Army troops who had just moved from the city to the outside of the city. The New Army of Selms also received an alarm that the Luzon army had crossed the border in advance, so it was not too surprising to face this attack. Both sides had almost no words and started a melee on the plain five miles outside Selms.
Although the Luzons used southern ponies to reform the mode of transportation, they could not use such ponies to arm cavalry. They had good endurance, but their weight-bearing ability made this ponies only use for transportation and could not bear the cavalry. This has always been a hidden pain for the senior management of the Luzon military and the biggest weakness of the Luzon army. Fortunately, except for the Indian-Germany Kingdom, which was dominated by the Great Plains, the other areas were mostly mixed with plains, hills and mountains. The cavalry was not used frequently and the effect was not obvious, so the Luzons could barely accept this point.
The melee in the suburbs of Selms also turned into an infantry war. Thirty thousand Luzon infantry against 20,000 New Army infantry. The infantry in the Zhadows, arranged in an orderly infantry phalanx, stubbornly blocked the Luzon army's offensives. At least before the previous waves of offensives, the Zhadows defended the reputation of the Zhadows. The Luzon army obviously did not expect that the Indian and Germans who they never expected could have such an army with a neat and good performance. The Luzon army, which was attacking in a wedge, encountered a firm block in the thick infantry phalanx of the Zhadows. The soldiers of the Zhadows burst out with extraordinary passion under the inspiration of the officers' slogan "for honor". They did not give up in an inch of land and did not retreat. The tenacity of the Zhadows caused the Luzons to suffer a lot.
The crescent knife designed specifically for the soldiers of the new army, which meets the use habits of the people of the new army, also exerted great power in this close-fitting close combat. This crescent knife is different from the full moon scimitar used by Indian and German soldiers. The blade is shorter and has a beautiful arc, but it is not suitable for real battlefield fighting. It is also different from the long-blade simple sword and floating sword used by the infantrymen of the Tang army. The Indian and Germans are more accustomed to using knives with a certain arc. Therefore, combined with national habits and practical combat effects, the Xijiang Science and Technology Department at that time specially developed and designed this crescent knife that meets the use of Indian and German soldiers. It combined the needs of both aspects and also won unanimous praise from the soldiers of the new army of the new army.
The crescent sword can better exert its power in this intensive melee battle. It can be picked, slid, cut and chopped from a variety of angles. It is extremely practical for infantry combat mainly with light infantry weapons in the Middle Continent, but when facing heavy armored infantry mainly with spears and spears in the East Continent and the West Continent, it will encounter heavy damage. Therefore, when equipping this weapon, the Science and Technology Department also submitted opinions on this aspect to the Military Affairs Office at that time.
However, the New Army of Zha played its strengths in the first infantry battle with the Luzons. In addition to examining the morale, training, and experience of soldiers, this confrontation between light-armed infantry also had to compete with the soldiers' equipment. The New Army of Zha, which had a certain advantage in morale and equipment, was far inferior to the New Army of Zha, who had a certain advantage in morale and equipment. When the war turned into a white-hot state, the New Army of Zha, which had even once had the upper hand, gradually lost its advantage. The Luzon Army not only surpassed the New Army of Zha in terms of number, but also the most important thing was their experience and courage. Faced with the death of comrades, the soldiers of the killing Luzon Army did not feel much touched. Too many experiences made them unsurprising about such things. They understood that only by killing the enemy can they ensure their survival.
Although the soldiers of the new army have also experienced considerable hardships in training, this face-to-face life-and-death battle is still a bit difficult for a considerable number of them, especially when they see their comrades who are together day and night screaming and falling in front of them, angry, frightened, worried and fearful, all kinds of emotions will be mixed in. This will inevitably affect the morale of the entire army. Many veterans and officers who have experienced wars are in the middle to encourage stability, but after all, this is an army that has not been tested by the real war. If they want to grow into a qualified army, they must have such a level to pass.
As a graduate of Northwest Military Academy, Radu soon noticed the change in the situation. In fact, he had already expected this situation. His new army in Zouzon cannot be compared with the Luzon army, which has been through battle for a long time. Moreover, he is still at a disadvantage in terms of number. Apart from the advantage of geographical location, Zouzon army has no advantage.
But he also knew that behind him was the newly developed city of Selms. If he gave in, he would not know whether this emerging city would be destroyed by the clutches of the Luzons. However, he was the Zang people who grew up on this land. The 20,000 Zang New Army under his command were all Zang men living on this land. Even though he knew it was not possible, Ladu also hoped that Zang New Army could establish its reputation as Zang New Army through this battle, even if he was willing to use his own blood. At the same time, he also had a luxury, that is, should he also be prepared for the Luzon Army that might attack Selms? If this was predicted by himself, as long as he could hold on for a few hours, he might create an excellent opportunity to annihilate the Lyon Army, which was alone and deeply rooted in the Luzon Army.
Facing the main general and two ten thousand men's chiefs personally took the battle and rushed to the front line, the momentum and bloodiness of the soldiers of the new army, which had been gradually overwhelmed by the opponent, burst out again. Seeing the bloody general and two ten thousand men's chiefs fighting against the enemy in front of the battle formation, holding up the scimitar and crying blood. Even the cowardly soldier could not help but rush up his blood and his eyes turned red. This was a breath, a divine spirit, a soul, an army. If an army had no such energy, this divine spirit, this soul, then this army could not become a real army no matter how they trained!
