There were three provinces adjacent to the former Cangyu Empire and the Hele Kingdom, namely Gaoling Province, Yuanxi Province and Jianing Province, while there were four provinces bordering Gaoling Province, Yuanxi Province and Jianing Province, namely Xifeng Province, Feiting Province, Xiangli Province and Pochao Province.

Fine seal, Fei Ting, Xiang Li and quite Chao, is the name of the four major tribes of the Xiang people in the nomadic period, and now the twelve provinces of the Hele country, the names are the names of the various tribes in the nomadic period of the Xiang people.

Before the massacre of Tang civilians by the army in the country of Heller, the royal army of the Tang Empire, which had been reorganized, in addition to a garrison independent infantry brigade stationed in Gaoling Province, Yuanxi Province and Jianing Province, there were also five field infantry divisions stationed in these three provinces, and most of the field infantry divisions in the Royal Army of the Tang Empire were deployed in various provinces adjacent to the Sharad Empire and the Liuyun Empire, and there were not many troops stationed in the three border provinces adjacent to the Heller Kingdom.

When the Tang Empire declared war on Heller, the above five field infantry divisions had all been assembled in the border areas adjacent to Heller.

Originally, according to the assumption of the high-level of the Hele State, the Su family army did not have many troops in the three provinces adjacent to their own country, and the Su family army would need a long time to prepare if they wanted to invade the Heller country.

However, what the high-level leaders of the Heller Kingdom never expected was that on the second day after the Tang Empire declared war on the Heller Kingdom, the five field infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire divided into multiple routes and launched an attack on the Heller Kingdom's Xifeng Province, Feiting Province, Xiangli Province and Pochao Province.

Although the army of Heller stationed at the border has long entered a state of combat readiness, it is still caught off guard by the five field infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, and the Royal Army of the Tang Empire has absolute artillery superiority, and in just two days of the war, the five field infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire have comprehensively broken through the fortifications in the border area of Heller, and began to advance to the hinterland of Xifeng Province, Feiting Province, Xiangli Province and Pochao Province.

The follow-up troops of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire rushed to Gaoling Province, Yuanxi Province and Jianing Province from other provinces also entered the country of Heller in batches, and in the face of the imposing Royal Army of the Tang Empire, many armies of the country of Heller even broke up on a large scale, and the situation in the entire country of Heller took a sharp turn for the worse.

Yu Yuan, the emperor of the Heller Kingdom, never dreamed that the Heller Royal Army, which was trained by the Noomi Royal Army, would be so unbearable in combat effectiveness, he had overestimated the Heller Royal Army too much before, and he knew that his Heller Royal Army was just a false appearance, and Yu Yuan would never dare to attack the Tang people in the country in a grand manner.

However, since things have come to this point, it is useless to regret it, Yu Yuan, the emperor of Heller, on the one hand, accelerated the armed reserves, and on the other hand, urgently telegraphed the Noomi Empire, hoping that the infantry division of the Royal Noomi Army in Heller could join the battlefield to help Heller stabilize the situation and buy time for the expansion of the Royal Heller Army.

On the afternoon of March 14, 3013 in the Tang calendar, in the palace of Kay City, the capital of the Noomi Empire, Emperor Edgrew sighed and said to Prime Minister Julian: "I really can't believe that the army of the country of Heller is trained by our royal army of Heller, not to mention the aspect of weapons and equipment for the time being, the will to fight of the army of the country of Heller simply makes me feel ashamed, according to the news from the country of Heller, there is even a full infantry wing, an infantry company of the Su army as the vanguard, Give a farce of complete defeat. ”

Prime Minister Julian said with a wry smile: "The minister did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the Heller Army was so weak, and he could hardly see the bloodiness of the steppe people, no wonder the War Department had a very low evaluation of the Heller Army, thinking that under the same weapons and equipment, an infantry wing of our Royal Noomi Army could defeat an infantry division of the Heller Army. ”

Emperor Edgrew then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Yu Yuan, the Emperor of the Heller Kingdom, has sent a telegram to me, hoping that the infantry division of our Noomi Royal Army stationed in the territory of the Heller Kingdom can join the battlefield, what is the Prime Minister's opinion on this?" ”

Prime Minister Julian pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the fact that the Su family army is so resolute in declaring war on the country of Heller, that Su Yi should not be afraid of a war with our Noomi Empire, but if a war breaks out with the Su family army at this time, it will actually be unfavorable to our Noomi Empire, not to mention other aspects, once the huge fleet of the Su family army attacks the northern coastal cities of our Noomi Empire, that loss will be unbearable for our Noomi Empire, in the many shipyards on the northern coast, Eight Pathfinder-class battlecruisers, twenty-four Ocean-class super dreadnought battlecruisers, and twenty-two Gladiator-class battlecruisers are now under construction, and the last two Gladiator-class battlecruisers will begin laying keels in the two newly built 40,000-ton docks by the end of this month. ”

Emperor Edgrew frowned and said, "This is a very serious problem, if Su Yi's fleet attacks many shipyards on the northern coast of our Noomi Empire, then the rise plan of our Noomi Royal Navy is likely to suffer a heavy blow, which is not what I want to see." ”

Prime Minister Julian hurriedly said: "Therefore, it is best for our Noomi Empire to avoid a full-scale war with the Su family army, so as not to interfere with the rise plan of our Noomi Royal Navy." ”

Emperor Edgru's brows furrowed a little tighter, "Is it not enough to save the country of Heller?" We, the Noomi Empire, have signed a protection agreement with the Heller Nation! ”

Prime Minister Yuli sighed secretly in peace, it seems that Emperor Edgrew is still unwilling to give up the country of Hele, so Prime Minister Julian said the plan he had thought of a long time ago, "Your Majesty, the infantry division of our Royal Noomi Army stationed in the country of Heller can join the battlefield, but not in the name of our Royal Army of Noomi, the minister feels that the infantry division can temporarily break away from the sequence of the Royal Army of Noomi and join the battlefield of the country of Heller as a mercenary, In addition, the other units of the Royal Army of Noomi who have joined the battlefield of Heller should also act in the same way. ”

When Emperor Edgrew heard this, his frowning brows stretched a little, "Although it has changed its name, it is still our Noomi Royal Army, will that Su Yi eat this?" ”

"Your Majesty, the mercenaries have a non-governmental nature, and the Su family army has no reason to declare war on our Noomi Empire for this, and the Tang Empire has not been formally established, and that Su Yi has not officially ascended the throne as emperor, presumably the Su family army should not be willing to engage in a full-scale war with our Noomi Empire now."

On the morning of 15 March, the 36th Infantry Division of the 9th Infantry Regiment of the Royal Noomi Army, which was stationed in Heller, announced to the outside world that it would leave the Royal Noomi Army with immediate effect, and would then be employed by the royal family of Heller as a mercenary to help Heller resist the invaders.

Subsequently, the 36th Infantry Division of the 9th Infantry Regiment of the Royal Army of Noomi was quickly stationed in Lindancheng, the capital of Heller Province to Lixing Province.

On the evening of March 18, in a small town more than 100 kilometers south of Lindancheng, almost everywhere was officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire.

Zhang Shi yawned and said to Niu Dazhu beside him: "I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight, these days, our regiment, as the vanguard of the whole division, has less than six hours of rest every day, and we will finally change to another regiment from tomorrow." ”

Niu Dazhu said a little unwillingly: "It's about to hit Lindan City, why did you replace our regiment, I heard that the troops guarding Lindan City have been replaced by the Noomi Army, and I still want to have a good competition with the Noomi Army!" ”

Zhang Shi smiled and said: "We can't eat all the meat in our regiment, and don't even leave a little soup for the brother troops!" It's only been a few days, and our regiment has only taken prisoners, and they have captured almost 40,000 people, by the way, this time you have made another great achievement, with the strength of an infantry company, you have defeated a full infantry wing of the Heller's army head-on, maybe I will have to call you a commander in the future. ”

Now Zhang Shi and Niu Dazhu are no longer the company commanders of a supplementary company, in the reorganization of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, Zhang Shishi and Niu Dazhu have become serious infantry company commanders.

Niu Dazhu said with a smug face: "How did I know that it was a full infantry wing, and I found that there was an army of Heller in front of me who was building fortifications, I didn't think about it, so I rushed up with the brothers of the whole company, who knew that this infantry wing of the Heller Army, the combat effectiveness was so weak, and I was frightened by one of our companies, and I didn't organize a decent resistance at all, so what else am I polite, I drove more than ten kilometers all the way, and in the end, if it wasn't for too many prisoners, The remaining 3,000 or so defeated soldiers of the Heller Kingdom should not even think about running away. ”

The corners of Zhang Shi's mouth twitched, "Say you're fat, you're really gasping, an infantry company of less than 300 people, defeated an infantry wing of 8,000 people, and annihilated most of it, it's already a big miracle, you still want to completely annihilate this infantry wing, Dazhu, you're a little inflated!" ”

Niu Dazhu said with a smile: "Isn't this just a nonsense talk between our brothers, I don't dare to brag so nonsense with others, by the way, Shi, you said that you attacked Lindan City, do our regiments still have a chance?" In the past, Noomi Army was always known as the world's number one army, and I really wanted to compete with them. ”

Zhang Shi shrugged his shoulders and said: "I see enough, after all, our regiment has been serving as the vanguard in the past few days, although the losses are not large, but the officers and soldiers are very tired, I feel that in a short period of time, the division commander will not send our regiment again, unless Lindancheng becomes a hard bone." ”
