"Chapter 161: Preparation with Two Hands"
I don't ask to understand and then believe, I'd rather believe first and then understand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
- St. Anselm (Italian theologian and philosopher)
Annihilating the army of Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobukii was not a difficult task for the tens of thousands of troops of the Yanhuang family, but the price paid for it was not small, especially the 6,000 soldiers of Kudo Yasumin, and there were more than 1,000 casualties.
Kunohe Yasu is really a good talent, and Izumiyama Koyasu's ability is okay, but the combat effectiveness of the army under their command is not very good, on the one hand, it is due to the general environment of the Yamato Empire, and on the other hand, it is their own reasons.
Don't you see, Sanada Masayuki's army is much stronger than the armies of Kunohe Yasuma and Izumiyama Koyasu? Under the same external environment, the reason for this difference cannot be attributed only to the general environment, and personal factors are also unavoidable practical reasons.
In order to seize the time to complete the Yanhuang family's conquest of the Tsugaru family, Bai Feng temporarily imprisoned all the captives of the Tsugaru family in the wild border dungeon, and then handed them over to Quanshan Gukang to guard;
The full Governor's Guard was restored, the Yanhuang Standing Army under the command of Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobushige, and the 4,500 soldiers under the command of Kunohe Yasuma, and the 22,500 soldiers became the main force of the Yanhuang family to attack the Tsugaru family.
Although the performance of the army under the command of Kunohe Yasuma was not very good, with the army of Izumiyama Gukang in front of them, their performance was not so unacceptable, so Bai Feng decided to continue to give Kunohe Yasuma a chance to prove his ability to himself.
The Yanhuang Standing Army, which had never had the opportunity to participate in the battle, was directly arranged by Bai Feng as the vanguard of the advance of the army this time, and the Governor's Guard, who had just experienced a bloody battle, was arranged as the rear guard of the army, but it was the army of Jiuhe Yasumin and the personal guard battalion that became Bai Feng's central army together.
"Kang Zhen, how do you feel after today's battle?" Under Bai Feng's deliberate arrangement, the soldiers of the pro-guard battalion were slightly away from Bai Feng, leaving enough space for private communication between Bai Feng and Jiuhe Kangzhen, who were riding side by side.
"Alas...... If General Wendell hadn't sent 1,000 elite troops to reinforce my left flank defense line in time, I'm afraid that the Tsugaru family's army would have really broken through my left flank defense line. ”
"Kang Zhen, listening to your tone, it's very frustrating, can't it be the combat effectiveness of the Governor's Guard that hits your self-confidence?"
"Governor, you laughed, the reason why I feel lost is not because the Governor's Guard is very strong, but because I feel sad for my previous sitting in the well and watching the sky;
"Kang Zhen, sometimes some things still have to be looked at dialectically, the combat effectiveness of the Governor's Guard is indeed very strong, but it is also accumulated over time, as long as you work hard to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under your command, sooner or later they will also become stronger. ”
"Governor, you mean that you are willing to give me the opportunity to ......"
"Kang Zhen, remember what you said about what you did in Gaoshui Temple City, you are a warrior who would rather bend than bend, I believe that you are the talent that our Yanhuang family needs, I will give you enough room to grow, and I also hope that you will not let me down. ”
The emotion on Kunohe Yasu's face was not pretended, but he was interrupted by Bai Feng before he could say anything;
"The Governor...... No, my lord, I will not disappoint my lord!"
"Okay!Kang Zhen, you still have to perform well in the next battle, and when you conquer the Tsugaru family, I will give you an elite army again, and I hope you can grow into the humerus of our Yanhuang family, and don't let me down. ”
"Swear allegiance to the Lord!
Because he was worried that the performance of the Governor's Guard would be too much of a blow to Kuho Yasuma, Bai Feng found an opportunity to comfort Kunohe Yasumin, but it turned out that Kunohe Yasuma became another retainer who called him 'Lord Gong', which was an unexpected gain for Bai Feng.
It would take at least three days to march from the battlefield outside the wild border city to the Langoka Imperial Palace, which was a prominent place in Langgang, and even if Bai Feng wanted to fly to the Langoka Imperial Palace all at once, it would be impossible, he could only lead the army to advance step by step.
The opposite of the Yanhuang family's army was the Tsugaru family's counterinsurgency army, they were not very far away from the Langgang Imperial Palace, and their marching speed was much faster than the Yanhuang family's army;
It's just that Bai Feng knows everything about the Tsugaru family's every move, and the Tsugaru family doesn't even know that Hattori Yasuki and Ogasawara Nobuyumi were defeated and captured at this time, and the gap between the two sides in terms of intelligence has already determined that the Yanhuang family will have an absolute advantage.
In fact, when the Yanhuang family's army was still a day and a half away from the Langgang Imperial Palace, Bai Feng received information that the Tsugaru family's 15,000 troops were in the Langgang Imperial Palace, and this important information finally made Bai Feng make up his mind to divide his troops and advance.
The defenders of the Langoka Imperial Palace are only 3,000, and even if the Langoka Xianfan can mobilize the peasants to participate in the defense of the city, the total number of troops they can put into battle will not exceed 5,000;
However, the Tsugaru family's counterinsurgency army has 15,000 people, and even if there are 10,000 peasant soldiers among these 15,000 soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the remaining 5,000 Tsugaru family standing army should not be underestimated.
What worries Bai Feng the most is actually the person of Langgang Xianfan, his weak cowardice, which is the focus of the information sent back by the battlefield ghosts, if it weren't for the decisive Ivan to preside over the overall situation, Langgang Xianfan would not even have the courage to retake the Langgang Imperial Palace.
Expecting such a guy with no ambition and no great talent to defend the Langoka Imperial Palace, let alone two days, even if it is a day, Bai Feng is not at ease, so Bai Feng can only make preparations with both hands to prevent the Tsugaru family from capturing the Langoka Imperial Palace.
Bai Feng's first-hand preparation is naturally to let the battlefield ghost convey his new order to Ivan, this time, Bai Feng gave Ivan more power, as long as Ivan thinks it is appropriate, he can directly control Langgang Xianfan, and all he has to do is to defend the Langgang Imperial Palace.
Defending the Nangang Imperial Palace is only a conceptual thing, and the time limit given to Ivan by Hakumine is two days, that is, Ivan's mission is to use his shadow killer and the three thousand Nanaoka family troops to rely on the Nangaoka Imperial Palace to resist the two-day attack of the Tsugaru family's 15,000 army.
Bai Feng's second preparation was to let Wendell personally lead the cavalry wing of the Governor's Guard and all the cavalry of the Guards Battalion, and use the speed advantage of the cavalry to rush to the Langoka Imperial Palace in advance;
This second-hand preparation is Bai Feng's last killing move, if it is really used, then the counterinsurgency army of the Tsugaru family is very likely to detect the upcoming main army of the Yanhuang family, and at that time, it will not be easy to completely annihilate this army!
