Chapter 1151: Liang Guo is in a hurry
On 23 April, Bai Liyan took a train to Shaoping to inspect the Combined Army Academy; over the past two years, more than 34,000 military attachΓ©s and selected intellectuals from the vassal states had studied and been trained here.
There is also the fatal problem, with an illiteracy rate of more than 60 percent.
More than 60 percent of the military attaches who have advanced their studies are illiterate, the remaining 40 percent are semi-literate and basically literate, and less than 5 percent have a background in studying.
Although intellectuals read a lot, most of them have never seen blood, nor do they have basic scientific knowledge and mathematical ability, 80 percent of them are from aristocratic backgrounds, there are not many commoners, and intellectuals account for only 20 percent of these 34,000 people, so there has not been a single class of graduates since the beginning of the class, and it is tantamount to a joke to let them graduate.
On April 28, Bai Liyan went to the border between Xianxi County and Sangbei County to inspect, the barbed wire fence had been pulled up, and the epidemic was like a dark cloud hanging overhead, which would never go away.
In early May, the eldest grandson called, and as expected by Bailiyan, the armpit cavalry that broke into the two counties of Boyang and Guangzhong attacked all the way south, and sent a team to return the same way, and joined the main force of the armpit east front that was attacking Ai County, and then a cavalry of 30,000 people rushed south with artillery and supplies, and the target was unknown.
At the same time, the armpit fleet entrenched in the waters off the coast of Liang increased to more than 47,000 boats, and there were hardly any small boats of less than 10,000 stones, and 21 ironclad canned boats were assembled and ready to go, and on 12 May they marched to the coast of Liang State, and arrived 30 miles offshore four days later, and the landing began.
The Armpit Fleet did not choose to attack any port or take a beach in favorable tidal terrain, but surprisingly chose the most unlikely coastal wetland, the Vortex Ford, for a shocking reason, the Axillary people used liquid nitrogen as a warhead for artillery shells.
They put liquid nitrogen into a special container instead of the warhead, and when the fighting tribe enters the wetland, it quickly explodes to release liquid nitrogen, which absorbs heat and quickly solidifies the wetland, how exactly this technology is implemented, but it is conceivable that this technology can allow them to land on any terrain.
Because the wetland does not have all the conditions needed for landing, there is almost no fortification, let alone a garrison, in fact, with the brain hole of human beings, the history of the earthlings in the 21st century, it is impossible to have this kind of brain hole, and the result is that the Liang army and the royal guest were killed by surprise.
The armpit men were quite well prepared, and had already rushed to the beach for six days before the first batch of Liang troops and Yuke arrived, and the number of people who landed on the shore reached more than 27,000, and the two sides then engaged in fire.
The battle began on May 19 and ended on June 15, with a total strength of 170,000 Liang troops and Yuke at Vortex Niutan, more than 60,000 armpit men who landed, and hundreds of beastmen dispatched.
The battle continued fiercely until the middle of July, the armpit people suddenly attacked Jinye and Tianyungang, the armpit fleet once again repeated, firing liquid nitrogen shells at the tidal flat area outside the two ports, as a result, all the mines laid before were frozen, and the armpit people were able to forcibly land on the tidal flats, and the mines were not detonated because they were frozen, so they successfully tore the gap in Tianyun and Jinye, and for a time the panic spread, the people's hearts fluctuated, and the Liang State was in a hurry.
The state political supervisor of the Xianwang Palace in Shanling, the king of Xian had just hung up the phone call from Liang Tianzi himself, and his face was quite gloating and carried away.
"Liang Guo is in a hurry, how should the widow deal with it, you have a good plan."
When the words fell, Lu Gao stepped forward and said:
"King Qiqi, the armpit landing force has reached more than 100,000, and the landing has been successful in three places, and it may not be easy for my country to come all the way to the rescue. However, Liang is located in the Central Plains, and if Liang is lost, Yan, Qi, and Wei will be even more difficult to parry, and the minister thinks that he should be rescued immediately. β
"But Liang Guo is thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away to help Liang Guo, even if the horse gallops, at least one month, at most two months, I am afraid it will be too late."
Zhang You said worriedly, Jiang Yu was deeply concerned, he said:
"Taiwei Zhang is right, the railway is only built to Ganfu, even if the widow dispatches troops and horses, it will take time, and it will not be possible to arrive for a while and a half, maybe the war in Liang has deteriorated in a month or two, and how to deal with it at that time."
At this time, Bailiyan stepped forward and said:
"King, it's not impossible to speed up the Liang Kingdom, you can reach it quickly within ten days."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the news, and King Xian hurriedly asked:
"What is the plan of Lord Sinon?"
"Back to the king, you can take a car to Liang Kingdom. Now the completion of the railway bridge on the Wangsi River is imminent, and the highway bridge above the railway bridge has been completed. β
"Oh, it works." King Xian was deeply surprised, and then said: "In Si Nong's opinion, how many vehicles does our army need to allocate to reinforce how many soldiers and horses? β
"60,000 people from Mo Yunfeng's second town army, 15,000 people from Jiang Jie's first column, and 8,000 medium-sized trucks, oil tankers, and water tankers can quickly reach Liangguo."
Since the first mass-produced medium truck rolled off the assembly line in October 651, a total of more than 13,000 small medium trucks have been produced, and 8,000 trucks have been dispatched to transfer 75,000 people and their equipment, ammunition supply, and fuel to carry out thousands of miles of mobility.
Jiang Jie's first column was formed at the end of last year in accordance with the newly established establishment of a "division" level combat unit, with more than 6,000 experienced officers and men from various armies, more than 170 officers and men from the armed battalion and military academy, and more than 5,000 new recruits.
This went to Liang State, relying on horses to maneuver for less than a month, more than forty or fifty days, this is not counting the time for domestic assembly and waiting, and when they arrived at Liang State, most of the Yuke and Liang troops had already been defeated, and if they wanted to carry out a counterattack, the cost would be greater.
Persuaded King Xian and the cabinet to make a phone call to all armies and counties, Mo Yunfeng's second town, Jiang Jie's first column, will first take a train to Ganfu to assemble, trucks can be pulled by trains, and those who run goods on the road will immediately go to Ganfu to assemble after receiving orders, so as to shorten the time of waiting for dispatch.
At dusk, Bailiyan went out of the palace and returned home, and when he passed through Junting Street, he met Gudapa and his grandson Little Figos, so he got off the horse and came forward to greet him:
"Lord Gudapa hasn't returned home so late."
"Alas, my heart is not steady, let my grandson accompany me out for a walk."
"Yes, now that the plague is epidemic, people are panicking, everyone is worried, you are also old, I am also old, but I can't rest assured that I will hand over the property to my children and grandchildren, and whoever it is, my heart is not steady."
"That's right, I knew today, why do you and I fight like this, the six-year battle is not as good as the armpit monster for half a year, it's a pity, if the warriors of the year are still alive, the Central Plains may not be like this."
The two of them sighed a lot with emotion and regret, recalling the tragedy of the attack between the north and the south back then, and how stupid they were from today's point of view.
After six years of fighting, nearly 10 million people have been killed and wounded, and if we save these efforts, today may be a different situation, but history cannot overturn the past, and only by grasping today well can we take the road of tomorrow.
"Your country is also preparing for war now, Figos is coordinating the two countries in the south, it is difficult for your husband and son-in-law to get together less and leave more, Ben Hou is deeply sorry."
"Huh...... Fighting the monster together is good for both the North and the South, and I know very well what the people of the church think, and if you lose, they will fall into the ground. β
"Oh, I hope not. It was not early, and Ben Hou took his leave first. β
"Well, Yongxing Hou walks slowly."
Soon after the war began in 653, Figos returned to Jin Xuedi in 654 with the Xian Kingdom Book to contact the preparation for war and send troops, and in 655, Jin Xuedi's first batch of 200,000 troops were stationed on the border line agreed between the north and the south, and the royal guest sent a military attache to teach defensive tactics, and until this year, more than 500,000 people were pressed on the border, and at the request of Bailiyan, three varieties of fierce beasts of saber-toothed tiger, dire wolf, and flying eagle beast were dispatched.
After the fierce battle of the eldest grandson last year, it was found that the effect of the ten-millicaliber bullet on the berserker was extremely poor, the effect of thermite, Molotov cocktail, and white phosphorus bomb was highly limited, and the grenade had limitations, and the effect on the berserker who was more than a foot high was also not good, and it took more than 150 soldiers to sacrifice to kill a berserker, while the destruction of the city wall, road, and city gate by the berserker was amazing.
Even if they step on an anti-infantry mine, they will fall into a big hole, and at the same time the dispersion of fragments will be greatly limited and their power will be greatly weakened.
Given the threat posed by the Orcs, the use of Orcs is undoubtedly the best option, but there are also many drawbacks.
Whether it is a saber-toothed tiger or a dire wolf, they are all cold animals, and they may not be adapted to fighting in the tropics and subtropics in the south, and in view of the current spread of the epidemic, Bailiyan does not dare to let the Jinxuedi people go south easily, so as not to consume the vitality of human beings prematurely.
Farewell to Gudappa, Bailiyan slowly walked on the way home. The flying feather under the crotch lowered its head and walked slowly, it was also old, and it followed itself to go south and north to the east and west for more than 20 years, consuming too much vitality, and now walking has no energy.
At this moment, his heart can't help but feel a lot of emotion, it is more than 30 years in a flash, and he is also old, if he was in his previous life, he should now be able to mix with the title of chief physician and expert, or even vice president or something, and live a 9-to-5 life every day, maybe doing nothing, but there will be no danger to life, there will be no loneliness and helplessness in high places, and tens of millions of lives are tied to one.
When they returned to the Hou Mansion, the women were laughing and amusing in the inner house as always, unaffected by the haze of wartime.
The daughters have grown up, they are slim, and they are all at the age when they should find their in-laws, but it makes Bailiyan a headache, all of them are highly educated Bai Fumei, and it is not easy to choose a good person among thousands of men.
Seeing Baili Yan coming slowly, Jiang Rongjing, who was slightly fading but still charming, came forward:
"The swallow came back so early today."
"Well, I'm going to Liang Country tomorrow, so I'll come back early today to prepare."
Before the words fell, Jiang Rong's eyes were stunned for a moment, hiding the fear in her heart, she said:
"Will you leave tomorrow?"
"Well, the armpit people are fully ashore in the Liang country, if the Liang country is broken, the world will be shaken, and it is necessary to go. Let the stove prepare some good dishes, and let's get together today. β
Jiang Rong's expression was gloomy, and she asked carefully:
"When will I be able to come back?"
"At the end of July, if it goes well, we can come back before the first month, but if it doesn't go well, we have to wait until next year. But don't worry, going here for your husband is not a charge, and you won't have to worry about your life. β
"But the plague epidemic along the way, this is not trivial."
"Don't worry, I brought medicine, as long as the rescue is timely, there will be no worries about my life."
Bai Liyan tried his best to appease Jiang Rong, but he also knew that Jiang Rong was still at ease in his heart.
