Chapter 267: The Northwest Officer's Thoughts

Thousands of sails and hundreds of boats competed for the current, presenting a magnificent scene on the vast river, but this scene did not last long, the enemy patrol on the opposite bank soon discovered the problem here, but that was already three hours later, and the troops on the south bank had already been transported in two waves, about 5,000 people had formed a team with considerable combat effectiveness, while the opposing patrol force was only a few hundred people, and it was quickly eliminated, but it was obvious that the information that the Pasha army had smuggled across the Maputra River would appear on the desk of the enemy commander.

At five o'clock in the morning of September 10, the sixteenth year of the Apocalypse, Ta Creek, the general of the Pasha Kingdom, led more than 30,000 people of the Third Corps to smuggle in the Pompeii area in the upper reaches of the Maputra River.

On September 15, he conquered the important town of Weixi and occupied Shizhedu, an important ferry on the Maputra River. Beginning on September 16, under the cover of Tacreek's Third Corps, the main force of the Pasha Kingdom began to force the Maputra River on a large scale from the Shizhe Ferry, and within two days, 200,000 troops crossed the river from the south bank of the Maputra River and entered the hinterland of the Loulan Kingdom.

On September 17, Dayan led the first corps, the fourth corps, the fifth corps, the seventh corps, and the ninth corps of the Pasha Kingdom and the 100,000 troops of Loulan who came to intercept the famous battle of Feishui in the history of the mainland, Dayan used the psychology of the other party's eagerness to fight to lure the enemy deeper, and used superior forces to divide and surround it in one fell swoop, on September 19, the battle of Feishui ended, in addition to more than 20,000 remnants of the enemy to break through, the remaining more than 70,000 people and 40,000 people were annihilated, more than 30,000 people surrendered, and Yuli, the son of Prime Minister Brundtland, the commander of Loulan, was seriously injured.

At the same time, 200,000 troops of the Duchy of Comini crossed the border on the night of 11 September. Straight into the territory of Loulan, and after encountering resistance again, he quickly invaded the territory of Loulan for more than 300 kilometers, and the western coach of Loulan, Crouff, took a shrinking defense in the face of the enemy, and before the enemy occupied it, he carried out a strong wall clearing the area that was about to fall. Everything that could be taken away was taken away, and everything that could not be taken was destroyed as much as possible, and the common people also hid in the mountains or withdrew to the rear with the retreating army.

Crouff formed a strong defensive line in the most important city in the west, the Great Pine Grove, as well as two important checkpoints and fortresses in the vicinity, Eagle's Beak Pass and Fort Thibe, and urgently recruited 50,000 reservists to join, greatly alleviating the sinister shape of the Western Front. Comini's 200,000-strong army was unable to conquer the city of the Great Pine Forest for a long time, but its own losses were not small, and the battle situation in the west was at a stalemate.

On September 22, the 14th and 15th Corps of the Pasha Kingdom crossed the river from Feichidu in the middle reaches of the Maputra River, but suffered a great defeat due to the fat water. In fact, the Loulan side had no strength to stop the enemy's crossing, so far the Pasha army assembled on the north bank of the Maputra River had as many as nine corps of more than 260,000 people, and formed a pincer offensive, pointing directly at the southern town of Loulan and the second largest city in Loulan, Jiyaxicheng.

A huge army quickly marched in the border area between Wusun and Loulan, and they should be dressed as an army belonging to Wusun State, but at this time, if there is a person who knows a little about Wusun's internal affairs, he will know that this army will never belong to Wusun State, and the entire Wusun Country will not be able to find an infantry team with such combat effectiveness.

"Commander, whose territory should we belong to now?"

Chen Deming, who was full of thought, rode on his horse and carefully examined the map. While thinking about fighting, he was excited to review the march of the troops to Guò Shangguan Yonglun.

"It doesn't matter who he belongs to, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. In such a remote area, who will take care of us at this time? The people of Loulan are already burning their butts at this time, and their eyes are staring at the south and west, where can they take care of this? The Wusun people are probably busy discussing with other countries how to unite to deal with the extortion of the Huns, and they have no heart to reconnoiter this neighbor of Loulan, with whom they have always gotten along very well, so our 'Wusun' army will not encounter any trouble. Shangguan Yonglun's eyes didn't roll. Still happily looking at his rapidly advancing troops.

"Well, I think our location still belongs to Loulan's territory, but I don't think it will be long before it will change its owner." Touching the shaggy beard under his chin, Chen Deming grinned.

"yes. According to our marching speed, in three or four days we will be able to reach Shuangduiji, and when we get there, I will have to take a good bath, and it is really unpleasant to march for several days in a row, and I have not even taken a comfortable bath. A hearty voice added.

"There are few wings, and it's not a woman who has changed, can you use it so exquisitely?" Chen Deming laughed at his colleagues, making Fox Wing younger, and was affectionately called Young Master Yi by Shangguan Yonglun and Chen Deming, referred to as Young Master Yi.

"Boss Chen, I don't dare to compare with you, you are a bear, the more you don't take a bath, the more you can survive." Ling Fox Wing laughed and fought back.

"You said that your lord asked us not to take any other major action for the time being after we arrived at Shuangduiji, and only asked us to unite the local people of all nationalities to establish an autonomous government, what is the ultimate goal?" Shangguan Yonglun, who had been reviewing the troops, suddenly asked a question.

"Presumably, we need to help the local supporters consolidate our rule." Ling Fox Wing replied thoughtfully.

"But the army of the Loulan people should be dealing with the attack of the Komini now, there is no spare strength to deal with us, we can completely sweep the entire north, those local armed forces, are not enough for us to fill the gaps." Chen Deming retorted.

"What do you think, Commander?" Ling Fox Yi shook his head when he saw Shangguan Yonglun, obviously disagreeing with the opinions of the two, and asked.

"I can't guess what the adults are thinking, but I think it must have something to do with the Komini." Shangguan Yonglun groaned.

"Are you saying that Lord Qin is worried that our excessive actions will affect the defensive strength of the Loulan people on the Western Front?" Ling Fox Wing reacts very quickly.

"It is possible that the invasion force of the Komini people will definitely be stronger than the defensive force of the western part of the Loulan people, if we contain a part of the military strength of the Loulan people, I am afraid that the western front of the Loulan people will be in an emergency. But then we can unite the Komini and Pasha people and divide up Loulan. Chen Deming is even more ambitious.

Slowly shaking his head, Shangguan Yonglun looked at the surging army and said: "I think your lord's idea will definitely be more far-reaching, our strength may be a little weaker, after all, there are two countries, and there is an empire above us." ”

"Empire? It's a bird! This northwest country was led by Lord Qin to fight down a drop of blood and sweat of the brothers, and when the Huns were rampant here, those dignitaries and nobles in the imperial court only knew how to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they didn't dare to put a fart, so why should they point fingers at this time? ! As soon as he talked about the imperial court, Chen Deming was angry, revealing his gangsterism and foul language.

"Chen Deming, you are a high-ranking officer in the northwest, don't say these things in the future, and pay attention to the occasion."

Although Shangguan Yonglun was verbally warning Chen Deming, there was no reproach in his tone, and he seemed to agree with his words. (To be continued......)
