"This is indeed our best opportunity, if it weren't for the third division to change the guard to Jiayuguan, I would never agree to this plan, if there is no internal response, we will at least pay more than five times the price." Duke Miley, who has always been calm, also expressed his opinion, "I hope that the pawns of our intelligence department can play a big role." ”

"There should be no problem, to sacrifice him, Basten is really a little reluctant, according to what he said, in another year and a half, that person should be able to climb to a higher position and play a greater role." Gomez explained with a smile, "It took a lot of effort for the intelligence department to get this guy. ”

"Hmph, wait another year and a half, maybe there won't be such a good opportunity, what's the use of him climbing high for us?" Claudia snorted coldly, "We need people who can make a difference, not people who are in a high position." ”

"Of course, so we must achieve our goal this time, we must be absolutely sure that we will use him again, we must not expose it too early, lose the fighter, and we would rather sacrifice some more men and horses to achieve the goal, Claudia, you must remember this." Gomez solemnly admonished.

"Understood." Claudia nodded cautiously.

"Also, Nick, you must step up the offensive on your side, and you must firmly stick the troops of the Great Qin people there to ensure the smooth implementation of the entire plan." Gomez admonished again.

Nick, who looked indifferent, just nodded silently in understanding.

"General Miley, your task is also very arduous, you must not let the reinforcements of Taixuan Mansion, even the Great Qin people or the northwest reinforcements, get one step closer to Jiayu Pass, this is the key, otherwise our efforts will be in vain."

Gomez's eyes were already shining, and the man also stood up, "As long as we take Jiayuguan." The hinterland of the Great Qin people will be completely exposed to us, and the Great Qin people will no longer have the strength to take care of the affairs of Gerlock, and at that time, it would be good if they could keep their own territory, as for Gerlock, hehe. That will surely become an integral part of our great Kaman Empire! ”

In July of the eighteenth year of the Apocalypse, the Principality of Gerook, which had been quiet for more than three years, reappeared. On July 3, the Kaman army, which had secretly gathered more than 100,000 troops, under the leadership of Duke Nick, the number one general of the empire, launched a surprise attack on the Van Lin area in the northeast of the Principality of Gerook.

On July 7, the Kaman army, led by Nick, surrounded the city of Van Lin, and the attack and defense of Van Lin officially began. Since most of the troops of the Principality of Gerok had been mobilized to the Jiama region and were preparing to recover the Jiama region, they did not expect to be hit by this blow. There were less than 20,000 defenders left in the city, and the defeated army that had retreated from the northern border was only more than 40,000, and its combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of its opponents. For a time, the city of Van Lin was in a state of turmoil, and it was in danger under the frantic offensive of the Kamans. The country of Gelok was shocked.

In a panic, the Grand Duke of Gerok ordered the royal forest corps of the royal family stationed in the capital to strengthen the defense of the capital on the one hand, and on the other hand, ordered the two corps stationed in the Jiama area to return to the northeast battlefield as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Fanlin City. At the same time, the Minister of War of the Principality of Gerok immediately rushed to the border between the Principality and the Empire. Ask the local garrison of the empire to react quickly, on the other hand. Grand Duke Henry V personally went to the imperial capital of Yanjing to request urgent assistance from the Empire.

At the same time, the Kaman army stationed in Jiama City also moved quickly to cooperate with the military operations in the northeast theater. On July 14, Duke Miley, the commander of the Kaman front in the Jiama area, took advantage of the transfer of the Jieluo army to launch an offensive against the Jieluo army stationed around the Jiama area, and broke the southern defense line of the Jiama area in one fell swoop, causing a great shock to the Great Qin Empire. Once the southern line is broken. The Kaman army could easily move southward, without any shelter in between, across the Ram River, across the Bode Plain, and then step into the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Great Qin Empire.

In order to prevent the collapse of the entire line of the army of Gerok. On 17 July, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the 3rd Army Corps of the Western Military District, stationed south of the Gerok Principality, quickly moved into the southern part of the Principality of Gerok and crossed the Bode Plain to join the southern defense line of the Gerok in the Jiama area. After receiving reinforcements from the two main army divisions of the Empire, the defensive form of the Gerok army in the Jiama region immediately stabilized and developed in favor of the Principality of Gerook.

On July 18, the 4th Division of the Northern Military Region and the 2nd Independent Division of the Northern Military Region, which were stationed on the border of Bukwon County, also crossed the border and marched into the territory of the Principality of Gerok, and the Empire began to fully intervene in the Gerok War.

Not long after the two main divisions of the Western Military Region of the Reich were stationed in the southern part of Gerok, they were soon drawn into the fire. The Kaman army in the Jiama area under the leadership of the Duke of Miley set off wave after wave of offensive climax, so that the garrison in the Jieluo Jiama area, which was evacuated by two corps to reinforce the battlefield of Van Lin in the northeast, was suddenly overstretched, and the defense line was frequently breached, and the second and third divisions of the Imperial Third Army, which had planned to rest for a while, were forced to enter the battle, and the two sides fought many battles on the northern edge of the Bode Plain in the south of the Jiama area, but neither side could achieve satisfactory results.

On 22 July, Kaman's garrison in the Kama area began to retreat and gradually retreated to the city of Kama, while the commander of the garrison in Kaman's garrison changed hands in extreme concealment.

Claudia, dressed in a dark cloak, rode her horse on the side of the avenue, ordering her subordinates to quickly follow, and the swift march of troops in the night was like a dark and tailless dragon heading towards the dark and dreary distance.

After the main defender of the Carman garrison in Jiama City was quietly replaced by the veteran Simpson who was known for his perseverance transferred from the empire, Duke Miley, one of the pillars of the Kaman Empire's army, had quietly gathered more than 70,000 people from the Sixth Corps from China, and advanced westward at night. At the same time, the 50,000 most elite Royal Guards led by Claudia, with the cooperation of 70,000 troops of the 70,000 Corps, had infiltrated the territory of Gerok from the north of Jiama, and advanced along the southern foothills of the Zagros Mountains to Jiayuguan, which is located at the confluence of the Zagros Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains.

In the middle of the night in July, when the slopes on the edge of the foothills were still somewhat cool, Claudia jumped up the hill on horseback, followed by his lieutenant, Viscount Dominic, commander of the Seventh Corps.

"Your Excellency Marquis, do you really think that we can succeed at such a great cost?"

Viscount Dominic was an orthodox soldier, as the commander of several major corps of the Kaman Empire, they all have extraordinary painful memories of the world-famous Jiayu Pass, almost every corps has been broken under this famous Xiongguan, and the Kaman soldiers who have died under this pass over the years are enough to form more than three corps.
