Chapter 100 Prologue

"Lao Ka, this battle is a battle that concerns the overall situation of our Western Xinjiang. We have a heavy responsibility and we must not neglect it." Cui Wenxiu reminded her old friends meaningfully.

"Well, Wenxiu, this battle is probably a difficult bone to crack. We have seen Nick's ability for a long time. After managing Qinghe for so long, the way out has been cut off. Only by sticking to the waiting for help and losing a desperate intention is the most difficult to fight." The relaxed expression on Kamapov's face has disappeared, replaced by a cautious look. He doesn't need to hide anything in front of his old friend. If he wants to chew this bone, he doesn't know how much more than 100,000 troops can be left, but this battle cannot be fought. Whether politically or militaryally, this battle can only end with the complete physical and mental disappearance of one side.

"Well, Your Highness has made up his mind to completely eliminate the war power of the Kamans. It is estimated that after this battle, whether Nick Miley or Gomez will either die in a bad life or retire from power, the Kamans will no longer have any say in the Eastern Continent. But I didn't expect that the Pooles were so ignorant of the current affairs and had to get involved. Well, what should be come will always come. Since the store is opened, don't be afraid of visitors, so let's take them together." Cui Wenxiu saw that Kamapov seemed to be in a bad mood, but instead intended to arouse the other party's interest.

"That's right, but after this battle, I don't know how many men of our two legions will return to fertile land. When I think of this, I feel a little scared." Kamapov, who has rarely expressed his feelings, surprised Cui Wenxiu. Unexpectedly, the seemingly rough man who is so rough and silent, has such delicate emotions, which makes Cui Wenxiu feel.

"Don't worry too much. Although the Kamans have good combat effectiveness, their logistics problems are difficult to completely solve, and their morale will decline due to long-term difficulties. Of course, it is impossible to win Qinghe and wipe them out without paying a considerable price. But hasn't Your Highness made a clear statement? Even if you pay a great price, you have to win this battle. So what you need to consider now is how to fight, especially the impact of the enemy's surrounding reinforcements on the situation, and you need to pay enough attention." Cui Wenxiu said with careful advice.

"You mean the Puer and Situ Tai side? The Puer side is already expected. I've been a little confused whether Situ Tai will be involved. Situ Tai must have realized that our Western Xinjiang is a huge obstacle for him to ascend the throne. He must also hope that we will fight to the death with the Kaman. The problem is that now we have a clear advantage over the Kaman. Will he risk the world's worst to reinforce Kaman to attack us? Wenxiu, please analyze it for me." As the head coach, we need to consider every possible result. Kamapov is also the first time he has taken over such a large-scale war. He hopes that this old friend, who has always been known for his strange thinking, can give him some advice.

"This is indeed difficult to judge. Once Kaman loses the ability to affect the changes in the empire situation, his nobles' next goal will definitely be to fully intervene in the Central Plains. Situ Tai knows this better than anyone else, but he really sends troops to help foreigners attack the empire's vassals. Such an order is undoubtedly a life-threatening disaster. Even if he is loyal to him by the army, he dares to issue such an order that is obviously contrary to the national justice. What consequences will be borne after the issuance? If the army refuses to accept it, will Situ Tai dare to issue an order that is obviously contrary to the national justice?

, or what should he do if the public opinion attacks him? Situ Tai needs to consider these issues clearly. I personally think that he will not make such hasty decisions, but it is not ruled out that he will mobilize troops in the border area of ​​Cangzhou to restrain us from supporting the Kamans. In this way, even if we protest and question, he can explain and shirk, saying that we are suspicious." Cui Wenxiu slowly expressed his opinion, but he also emphasized that this is just his personal opinion.

"Wenxiu means that I can ignore the direction of Cangzhou, just hold back the attack of the Puer people, and siege Qinghe with all my might? But will this be a little too risky? Once Situ Tai makes up his mind to penetrate from the east, the Qinghe encirclement is broken, and it is nothing to let Nick escape. If he doesn't make a counterattack, the entire battle situation will be completely passive." Cui Wenxiu is also familiar with the style of his old friend, plain, heavy, steady and cautious, and this idea is not difficult to understand.

"Old Ka, you might as well ask the intelligence department and scouts to strengthen their monitoring of Cangzhou direction, so that even if Situ Tai has any abnormal movements, it will be too late. Of course, it depends on your own thoughts. After all, you are the head coach of this battle." Cui Wenxiu said lightly.

Nodding, Kamapov stopped talking, but he was obviously not very satisfied with Cui Wenxiu's suggestion.

Standing on the city wall, Miley took the monolithic mirror handed to him by the adjutant, and slowly moved his eyes from south to north without saying a word. The flags that covered the sky and the continuous camp almost covered the entire line of sight that could reach. They were rigorous and thick. This was the first definition of Miley's arrangement for the opponent's camp. However, although such a formation was stable, it did not have much impact on Miley. With the existing power in Fanlin City, it seemed that he did not have the capital to launch a counterattack. Only frontal defense was the right way.

Although his power has been replenished to a certain extent, Miley knew that this little power in his hand was far from enough to truly face the Western Xinjiang Army, which was twice as big as his. In addition to strengthening defense and using various means to slow down the opponent's attack intensity, the only way to rely on is reinforcements coming from the country.

On the eve of the lockdown, Miley finally received a long-awaited letter from the Prime Minister. The First Legion had set out to travel south and was traveling day and night. It seemed that Bai Yinren's problem was finally solved as the Prime Minister said in the letter. Miley didn't know how Prime Minister Gomez subdued Bai Yinren, who had always been rebellious and had sex with Li Wufeng. But since he dared to draw Lu Xi to the south, it naturally means that Bai Yinren is unlikely to be troubled by the north, otherwise a Ninth Corps alone would not be enough to defend the northern border.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Miley's heart. The Prime Minister's skills were indeed enough to trust. The promises he made were basically never broken. The Pooles also sent troops as promised. This is also an inspiring good news. Although the battlefield for reinforcements was Beiyuan, for Miley, Beiyuan and Fanlin were actually inseparable. If there were any mistakes in either place, the ending would be disastrous. Once Li Wufeng failed in Beiyuan, the encouragement and influence of Fanlin's morale should not be underestimated.

What about the Luzons/Luobei and Situ Tai? The fire of hope in Miley's heart is slowly igniting, and he seems to have seen the prospect of victory again. Once Li Wufeng fails in these two places, the collapse of his rule is inevitable. At least, the Western Regions/Tengri/Northern Luzon and the Peninsula will fall into the hands of others or become semi-independent, and the definition between allies and enemies will also undergo dramatic changes. Miley firmly believes in this, so what about failure? Miley is unwilling to imagine the consequences after failure. At that time, it is afraid that it will not be his turn to consider the consequences. Everything will depend on this battle.

The Qianli Miles mirror was handed back to the adjutant and walked along the city wall. Piles of rolling wood and lime jars were piled in reserved positions everywhere, covering the flame-retardant cloth, and the pile of rocks was directly exposed to the outside edge. Above the inner edge of the city wall, a wide and thick sand and soil belt stretched forward to the distance, which was a necessary material for preventing the enemy's fire attack tactics. The siege tactics of the Western Xinjiang Army have made rapid progress in recent years, not only absorbing the complex methods of the Western Continent, but also especially their own innovation capabilities.

Miley has heard of it for a long time. It is said that Li Wufeng is particularly willing to invest in the development and equipment of engineering equipment. Whether it is traditional attack equipment such as city crash cars, movable ladders, siege cars, mobile catapults, or newly popular weapons such as dragon cannons/independent crossbows, the news from the intelligence department reflects that Xijiang spends huge amounts of money on construction in these aspects. Although weapons and equipment cannot determine the outcome of a war, the facts have proved that the role of weapons and equipment must not be underestimated in wars.

Faced with the newly emerging armed group like Western Xinjiang, Miley has long lost the slightest contempt of it. It can be said that he has mobilized all the forces that can be mobilized and has prepared for various fierce battles in advance. He has no worries about the soldiers under his command, but the quality cannot make up for the quantity deficiency. Miley has a clear understanding of this, so he can only offset the gap as much as possible by improving his protection capabilities in advance.

The huge catapult arm was stroking, and the rough and thorny feel made Miley feel a sense of relying on him. The Prime Minister had to do his best to support the army. This giant catapult and the continuous crossbow guns equipped next to him were also built by the Prime Minister due to extremely financial difficulties. It is said that the supplier's contractor even sued His Excellency the Emperor because he could not receive the final payment. Even though it was a bit unsatisfactory, what else could Miley have to say?

The dark mist seemed to make the clouds thicker and thicker, which also symbolized that Miley's mood was difficult to resolve. The number of the enemy troops under the city had been clearly understood. In addition to the most powerful armed forces of the Derroks, the Imperial Guards, the main force was the First Legion, known as the First Army in the Western Xinjiang. It seemed that Li Wufeng was also determined to win this battle, and actually pulled the First Legion, which was fighting far away in Sanjiang, back to the north. A hard and bloody battle seemed inevitable.
