Chapter 1474
This is a somewhat crazy plan. Ying Jianming also knew that although His Majesty the Emperor agreed to selective combat in the Central Continental War Zone, it was just a battle with the Hansen Alliance for colonies. If he wanted to launch an attack on the Hansen Alliance, it would be completely different.
Hu Yanqiu's expression changed slightly. This plan was good, but it was a little too late to get through. Once the invasion of the Eastern Province of the Principal of Hannover from the north, it would mean a full declaration of war on the Hannson Alliance. The Principal of Hannover was one of the three pillars of the Hannson Alliance. When attacked, I was afraid that the alliance would immediately cease fire with the Augsburg people and turn the finger to the empire. This was a bit confusing. Thinking of this, Hu Yanqiu's eyes had already glanced at Cui Wenxiu, who had been silent.
Cui Wenxiu's face was also shady and sunny. Many people could not accept Ying Jianming's thinking of jumping amplitude, but it was just right for Cui Wenxiu. If it were normal, Cui Wenxiu would definitely adopt this opinion immediately and arrange troops to deploy immediately. But this time he could not think about it. Although the Hansen Alliance is now in full battle with the Augsburg people, it is hard to say what kind of reaction it will make once the Principality of Hanover is invaded. Once the armistice with the Augsburg people moves eastward, then I don't know what scale this battle should be.
He also promised His Majesty the Emperor to limit the war to a certain range to avoid a full-scale war. Invasion of the Principality of Hannover may lead to a full-scale war, and this may drag down the entire Central Continent battlefield. Cui Wenxiu was not absolutely sure to resolve this battle in a short time, especially since he could not estimate how strong the fighting will of the Hanson Allied people were. Once the empire also began to enter a state of war and needed to draw troops from the Central Continent, it would probably bring a series of trouble. Cui Wenxiu had to think deeply about this issue.
But now, I'm going to retreat in disgrace? This is undoubtedly unacceptable. If Billja can't take it, it means that attacking Destan is meaningless. The control of the two provinces including Mana and Deshin is still very unstable. The Hansen alliance can make a comeback at any time and take the initiative in their own hands. For Cui Wenxiu, this war is a failure.
The tent fell into silence. Generals at the legion level knew His Majesty’s intention in 701, trying to keep the situation stable and avoid large-scale wars, laying a relatively abundant material foundation for the next year’s southern and northern expeditions. Although the Central Continental War Zone was given a certain right of flexibility, it definitely did not include launching an attack on the Hansen Alliance.
The decision can only be made by the commander, but the commander still needs to obey the overall situation of the empire. Everyone knows this. Making this decision may be a provoking the authority of the empire, especially in the Central Continental War Zone, which is located outside the empire's land and has hundreds of thousands of troops. This decision requires even more caution.
"It seems we have to take a risk. Hehe, everyone knows my personality. If you don't do it, don't do it. If you want to do it, do it. Since the Hanover people have too much appetite, we will poke a hole in its stomach and make it open. The Eastern Province is very important to the Hanover people, so they value Billja so much. But Billja is equally important to us. So, I'm sorry, I can only let the Hanover people suffer a little loss. It's decided that the three Rangers immediately returned to the Tengger Grassland from Dexin and circled back from the Tengger Grassland. Now is not the time for the nomadic people to go south to hunt. With the offensive and restraint of the Augsburg people, the Hanover people will not have much troops in the north, and it's just a surprise attack of a thousand miles. Well, let the Eleventh Legion follow up, Lao Mu took over these soldiers and the gangsters, and now it's time for them to play a role. Let's start with the thousand miles of marching."
When Cui Wenxiu smiled and raised her head, everyone realized that the commander must have made a decision. When Cui Wenxiu's arrangement was taken out, all officials, including Ying Jianming, couldn't help but gasp. The 11th Imperial Army, which had just entered the province of Destan, also participated. The force used had exceeded 400,000. Isn't this a large-scale war? How did the empire explain?
"General Hu Yanqiu, the three divisions of the Seventh Corps immediately turned into the Fahan Province, advanced northward, and entered the border area with Hanover, and put on the stance of attacking Gdansk, to be realistic, so that the Hanoverians' attention should be focused here, Ying Jianming, Billja, you should be responsible for the feint attack or fight hard, in short, you must firmly attract the Baishen Corps. If you don't leave when it's time to leave, I will make him unable to walk." Cui Wenxiu's mood was completely calm at this time. Since he had made up his mind, he should consider how to solve this battle more perfectly.
Mulige was a chore to go on a chore. He advanced rapidly northward from the Destan province along the eastern foot of the Barak Mountains. The Barak Mountains are not long, but they are quite majestic and steep. Of course, there is no need to say that the cavalry is not even a single infantry to pass through. He had to dodge. Fortunately, the Barak Mountains were flat at the southern end of the Tenggery Grassland and could barely cross from here.
After crossing, you can advance south along the western foothills of the mountains and then you can enter the Eastern and Vezel provinces of the Kingdom of Hanover. Among them, Vezel province is also a northern barrier in Hanover. Not only is the main force of the Knights of the Principality stationed here, but the First Hanover Corps also has an Altami Fortress stationed at the junction of the Eastern and Vezel provinces, mainly to prevent the northern nomadic cavalry from breaking in from here. However, in fact, due to the wide and flat area between Vezel provinces and the Eastern Province, the entire central and northern part of Vezel provinces and the central and northern parts of the Eastern Province were once the best hunting grounds for the northern nomadic peoples. It was not until the Luobei people were recovered by the Tang Dynasty that this hunting action gradually slowed down. Although the Altami Fortress is the most important fortress in northern Hanover, in order to fight against the large-scale invasion of nomadic cavalry, it is obvious that it is too willing but not enough, and at most it will play a supporting role.
The three Rangers did not follow the same route as the Imperial Eleventh Legion of Mulige. Although the route on the eastern foot of the Barak Mountains was closer, the road was not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations. They chose to go north from the flat valley between Destan and Deshin provinces into the Tenggery Grassland. Although the distance was a little longer, the terrain was flat, with streams and valleys mixed, and the water and grass along the way were abundant, so the cavalry team had to move much faster.
The Imperial Eleventh Legion chose to advance along the nearest road on the eastern foot of the Barak Mountains. Most of them are gentle slopes and hills, and some valleys are mixed with. This is undoubtedly bumpy for the cavalry, but it does not have much obstacles for the infantry and can even play a good role in concealment.
Muli Grid looked coldly at the army in front of him that he had taken over for a while. The composition of this army came from all directions. To put it, it concentrated the essence of the major main legions of the Tanghe Empire, the original remnants of the Tanghe Empire's First and Second Legion, the remnants of the Tanghe Empire City Guard Legion, and several other legions screened out the essence, which seemed to be the place where the excellence of all parties was gathered.
But in Mulige's words, this is purely a bunch of garbage, a bunch of scattered soldiers who have completely lost their desire and will to fight, and has lost the most important military spirit of an army. Every unit knows the purpose of its existence and is willing to sacrifice itself. What about this army? When Mulige takes over this army, he knew that this time, His Majesty the Emperor really found a hot potato for him to take the exam for his skills. Looking at the groups of indifferent and numb soldiers, he was careless and careless.
For the class officer and the middle and senior officer who were full of complaints, Muligen would rather choose a group of farmers to start from scratch, but what should we do with these people? Releasing them will undoubtedly bring huge hidden dangers to local public security and even cause unimaginable disasters. It is good to restrict these people in the army and be able to become a qualified army. It is not possible to ban these people from the battlefield outside the land of the empire, so it should also eliminate a hidden danger. This is probably the thought that His Majesty the Emperor hid in his heart and did not say it out.
However, Mulige quickly jumped out of this worry. This was a group of real soldiers, but they were lost. Years of training had already given them the qualifications of being a real soldier. What he needs now is to cheer them up again and let them realize that the collapse of the Situ Dynasty was not a war, nor did they have their responsibilities. This is the internal affairs of the Tang people themselves, but an emerging dynasty replaces another corrupt and declining regime. As a soldier, he only needs to obey the new regime, complete the mission entrusted to them by history, expand his territory and celebrate the eternal reputation, and show the civilized and military achievements of the Tang people, so that the civilized luster of the Tang people can be extended to the mainland. This is the true destination of a soldier.
