Section 70 The Great Battle (1)
He angrily slapped the lush leaves on the roadside with the whip in his hand, and the broken leaves floated down one after another, symbolizing how bad the coach was. After a few spins in place, Li Wufeng finally calmed down his mind, turned his head and stared at his military intelligence director and said, "Have you informed Lin Guoxiong of the information we obtained?"
"They have been reported all of them and they are reminded of the defense in the east, but there seems to be no effect. Since we have also begun to prepare for war in the west, it is estimated that these actions have stimulated the Lin family and thought we have other intentions, so they have strengthened their defense in the west." Linghu Yi spread his hands helplessly.
"The evil done by heaven can still be forgiven, but the evil done by oneself cannot survive. Lord, we have done our best. Now we can only rely on the Lin family. Now we are going to propose entering Sanjiang to help them defend against the attack of Maqi Khan. The Lin family will only think that we have other intentions and will never agree. Perhaps the army of Maqi Khans stepped into Sanjiang, and they will also not agree. They will only think that we want to take advantage of the situation." Liang Chongxin's face was dull and he said slowly. The estrangement and vigilance between the two families cannot be eliminated in a day or two, unless it is at the last moment.
Shaking his head, Wufeng said word by word: "I believe that although your words make sense, Sanjiang's role in us is really important. In addition to its economic value, it is also an important barrier between us and the Maqi Khan. If we can successfully protect Sanjiang, then we don't have to face the Maqi Khan's cavalry directly. So far, I still think that if we can avoid direct confrontation with the Maqi Khan, it will be more conducive to the development of our next plan, especially now when we lack sufficient mobility in the south. Once the entire Sanjiang county falls, the entire Tiannan and Myanmar land will be under the blade of the Maqi Khan, and we cannot sleep without even sleeping!"
"I didn't expect that Bi Xili and Lei Juetian would make such a big bet this time. It seems that they will never give up until they swallowed Sanjiang. I hope the Lin family will not be so confident. It is best to let our army enter Sanjiang as soon as possible to help them, otherwise they will be afraid of Sanjiang's fate -, sir, do we have anything else to prepare now?" Mulige also intervened and asked.
"At present, I am afraid that I can only strengthen the defense of the Zhujiang and Qinzhou prefectures and cities, actively prepare for combat. In addition, use all the useful animal power, pull it to the front line, and exert the power as much as possible. The Third Division of the Northwest Legion and the two Guard Divisions are pushed to the front line and ready to enter Sanjiang at any time. The Zhujiang and Qinzhou prefectures and cities each station a division of a Southwest Legion to strengthen defenses, and the other two divisions are stationed outside the city, ready to deal with all emergencies at any time." After pondering for a moment, Wufeng said again: "Let the Mots and the Tubu people return to Guanxi first, and order the Baiyinsen and the Northern Luzon Second Division stationed in Bashan to move south quickly. In addition, Chongxin will let your Fourth Division also go south as soon as possible. We must be prepared to fight a few bad battles in Sanjiang and Tiannan."
Almost everyone agreed with Wufeng's last words. A fierce battle was coming. The 400,000 troops of Maqi Khan who were raising energy rushed over. The Lin family army, which was already in decline, can be imagined. Especially when they rejected their own side's help, there was no big suspense in this result.
The sun shines brightly, but everyone in the sun is in a gray mood, as if a layer of haze is shrouded in it.
The roaring and roaring earth-yellow soldiers rushed into Huayang Prefecture in the southeast of Sanjiang County like a huge wave caused by a tsunami. After entering Huayang Prefecture, a huge yellow current quickly divided into countless trickles and rolled over. The orderly zebra light cavalry, wildebeest heavy cavalry, and light infantry walking forward were almost every army with high morale and high morale, and each advanced eastward in a neat formation. At the same time, the 180,000 troops of the six corps led by the First Yulin Corps also completed the assembly, and the troops from Kanten and South Ronesian were divided into two groups, sandwiching the entire Northern Ronesian in like two huge crab claws, and the momentum was even more fierce.
With the warning of the northwest and confirmed by its own intelligence agencies, the military forces of the entire Sanjiang County were fully mobilized. Lin Guowei, the commander of the Sanjiang First Legion, led the three divisions of the First Legion to take a steadily retreat. In addition to using a small group of cavalry to harass the other side and slow down the pace of the other side's advancement, the main army did not engage too much with the other side, and quickly retreated into the key area of Huayang Prefecture City and the southern part of Huayang Prefecture City, Loushanguan Fortress. This is the key area connecting Huayang and the southern Yushan Prefecture and the capital Jiangchuan behind it. Once it is lost, it will not only make Huayang and Yushan Prefecture face a siege, but will also expose the capital Jiangchuan directly to the enemy's attack arrow.
Originally, Lin Guowei arranged two divisions of the most elite First Legion and two security divisions, which showed his importance to this place, but he had a dispute with Wu Zhi, the guard of Huayang City, who was worried that Huayang City would become the focus of the attacks of the Maqi Khans. Especially when he learned that more than 200,000 Maqi Khan's army had already poured into his territory, Wu Zhi, who was Lin Guoxiong's close confidant, firmly demanded that the main division that had been deployed in Huayang City but was transferred to Loushan Pass by Lin Guowei to Huayang City, but this was flatly rejected by Lin Guowei. The two sides had a fierce quarrel over this. Later, after the mediation of their aides, Lin Guowei reluctantly agreed to draw a security division back to Huayang City to enhance the defense capabilities of Huayang City.
The army soldiers were surrounded by burying their heads. The middle-aged thin man sat upright on the saddle, wearing a golden armor and a maroon double-sided cloak. He held his horse proudly and looked at the distance. In the sunset, he was like a exquisite classical bronze knight statue standing on the hill, heroic and eye-catching.
"Get the map!" The low voice seemed very powerful and powerful. The middle-aged man finally withdrew his gaze and signaled the staff standing behind him to send the map up. Two staff members trotted to the horse's head to unfold the map, and another male in armor, who was the chief of staff, followed. The other two commanders and intelligence officers took the initiative to follow up and wait for the coach's inquiry.
"Second, where has the Third Yulin Corps been?" The middle-aged man asked expressionlessly on the large-scale map.
"Return to the Grand Marshal, the second and third Yulin Corps have passed Wushui. This year, the amount of Wushui has been much smaller. It is estimated that the two corpses should have crossed Wushui, fifty miles west from Huayang Prefecture City and one hundred and twenty miles southwest from Loushan Pass." The metal rod in the intelligence officer's hand pointed on the map, explaining while skillfully pointing out several locations.
"Well, the Yulin Corps is worthy of being the Yulin Corps, and it is moving very fast. So where is our Army's First, Third, and Fifth Division now?" A cold sneer appeared on the thin face of the middle-aged man, but he looked a little gloomy in the sun.
"When I go back to the Grand Marshal, the First Corps has now passed Qinggangling to the south. The Third Corps has just arrived at Hongshiyan. The Fifth Corps is still twenty miles away from Chenjiashan. It is estimated that it will arrive in two hours." The intelligence officer sorted out the information collected by all parties while answering the questions.
"Well, I haven't lost the face of the army. This time, your Majesty wants to see the combat effectiveness of the Yulin Corps. Our army corps are also holding on. It seems that they don't want to be compared." The middle-aged man grinned silently, "Have the military strength of the enemy garrison at Loushanguan changed?"
"Returning to the Grand Marshal, a security division of the Sanjiang Army was transferred from Loushan Pass to Huayang Prefecture City six hours ago, and it is estimated that it has entered Huayang Prefecture City now."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man showed a look of surprise on his face for the first time, and then he smiled: "It seems that the feint of the Seventh Ninth Corps has played a role. The enemy probably thinks we will attack Huayang Prefecture City. Hehe, just as I wish, ordered the 10,000-person light cavalry team of the 7th Corps and the 9th Corps to move to the south of Huayang, responsible for cutting off the enemy troops that may be reinforced by Huayang, ordering the cavalry of the 13th Corps to advance into depth, responsible for restraining the reinforcements that may come from Jiangchuan, and the infantry of the 13th Corps followed up and blocking the reinforcements. The enemy in the Yushan direction only needs to let a 10,000-person cavalry team of the 5th Corps be responsible for interception, and the rest of the troops will also march into Loushan Pass!"
"Master General, do you mean to attack Loushan Pass and cut off the three eastern and eastern prefectures of the Three Jiangs and the three governments and then break them one by one or other arrangements?" The chief of staff behind him was a little uncertain.
"Hehe, Kulin, we have such a big advantage now, but the Lin family still has not given up the intention of Beironesia. I think they are drowning people who are almost dead and still guarding gold. They are born with wealth guards. Our spies here have also played a big role. Hehe, Lin Guoxiong probably always thinks that we are joining forces with Li Wufeng to divide the three rivers, right? Hahaha, let him enter the grave with this suspicion." The middle-aged man called the general laughed to the sky, "There is such a huge difference in strength. I can't take the Huayang and Yushan Palaces in one fell swoop. I'm afraid that I will die of shame without others saying it. Don't worry, Kulin, whether it is forcing Loushan Pass or surrounding the points to attack the support, we are invincible. As for which method to take, it depends on the situation."
"But the Grand Commander, Your Majesty and the Minister of State have reminded us to pay attention to the intervention of the Northwest Army. I think it would be more beneficial to our later army development as soon as possible." The Chief of Staff, who looked cautious, reminded his commander. Although the latest information reflects the phenomenon of unacceptable weather and local conditions in the Northwest Army, and the troops arranged by the Northwest Army on the eastern border line are also mainly infantry, Li Wufeng's impression of being deceitful and fickle has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even Bi Xili and Lei Juetian are not sure whether this is the smoke screen cast by Li Wufeng or the fact is indeed the case.
