Chapter 383: Jiayuguan Crisis

The fact that the Kamans had chosen to suddenly attack Gerok at this time was incredible. You must know that in order to prevent the Kamans from further invading the Principality of Gerook, the empire has long arranged the main army of four divisions in the southeast and south of the Principality of Gerook, coupled with the threat of its own three divisions of troops from the side, the Kamans' attack can only end in failure from any aspect, and it will also affect their control of the Jiama region that they have occupied, and the Kamans should not be able to see these consequences.

Then the Kaman people suddenly had an arrhythmia, knowing the severity of the current shape, why did they choose this time to start a battle? What are they doing this for? Fielding stared blankly at the military map in front of him, puzzled.

Could the Kamans have other plans? The weather-hardened Fielding still keenly smelled a peculiar smell from the unusual battle arrangement of the Kamans. He slowly shifted his gaze to his own territory.

Jiayuguan? It seems unlikely, the Kaman people who have suffered countless losses must still remember it vividly, even if they have the strength of several times the strength of Jiayu Pass, they will still stop in front of this fortress known as the first level in the world. Could it be from the south? Fielding gently rubbed his jaw, while moving his gaze to the east, the Kaman garrison in the Jiama area is now in a fierce battle with the second and third divisions of the Imperial Third Army, and it should not be able to draw any strength, although the old guy Miley is powerful, it is impossible to deal with two fronts, and even if he gets out of the battlefield in the Jiama area, Fielding is not worried, if he attacks Jiayuguan from the south, it will also be bloody, maybe the Kaman people will have to taste it once before they will remember it.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Fielding's mouth, is there any other possibility? Siege of Jiayuguan? It's just a dream, I'm afraid they've run out of their own provisions. Jiayuguan can still last for a year and a half. Will it directly attack Taixuanfu City? The old and cautious Fielding analyzed and ruled out step by step, it was impossible, if you want to attack Taixuanfu City, you must first cut off the connection with Jiayuguan to prevent a flanking attack, but how many troops and time does this need? And he may have the support of the empire at any time. In doing so, they can only bring shame upon themselves.

But when his eyes fell on the south of Taixuan Mansion, the experienced Fielding finally felt a little strange. Aren't the troops of the Western Military District of the Reich a little too weak? Seeing that there were only a few divisions left in the regular garrison of the entire Kansai County and Heshuo County, Fielding was a little uncertain, if his Taixuanfu City was really attacked, it would be really difficult for him to get reinforcements from the empire for a while. Moreover, the garrison of the Western Military Region is really too thin, and if there is really any problem erupting, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the existing troops to control it.

Fielding sighed, hoping that the scenario he had envisioned would not occur, and that the situation in the Northwest was unstable at the moment. Qin Duan, this guy is in the imperial capital again, if there is really a problem, I am afraid that it is impossible to rely on reinforcements from the northwest, not to mention that his relationship with the Northwest military and political envoys is also in a strange state, it is difficult to say whether they will take advantage of the fire to rob.

Just when Fielding was thinking about it, the Kaman army, which had been preparing for a long time, finally appeared on the land of Taixuan Mansion. The 120,000-strong army led by Claudia appeared like a descending from heaven at the southern foot of the Zagros Mountains in the northeast of Taixuanfu, and quickly advanced westward along the lowlands along the foothills, except for the soldiers of the Seventh Corps who wore dark robes. The other soldiers wore orange and yellow uniforms, showing their distinctive status as a Royal Guard. Meanwhile. The Sixth Corps led by Duke Miley also moved westward at the same time, aiming directly at the Taixuan Mansion City, but it seemed to be moving much slower.

Fielding, who received the information about the horses, was a little puzzled in surprise, the 120,000-strong army marched west along the edge of the Zagros Mountains, and the target was naturally Jiayuguan, and of course he knew the desire of the Kamans for Jiayuguan. But the problem is that they want to take Jiayuguan with these 120,000 horses? Fielding subconsciously shook his head. And what about the army that came to the city? Do you really want to take Taixuanfu City, or just attract troops from Taixuanfu City to prevent reinforcements to Jiayuguan? Why is there such a big difference in the speed of their march, could it be that their purpose is really Jiayuguan?

A series of contradictory pieces of information left Fielding dizzy, making it impossible to judge. But he was not idle, and at the same time as ordering the Second Garrison Division stationed in Taixuanfu City to quickly enter combat readiness, he also issued martial law. He also ordered the officers of the War Readiness Administration to immediately activate the wartime contingency plan, immediately transfer the reservists to active duty, and newly establish the Fourth Garrison Division, with the director of the War Readiness Department as the division commander, and immediately doubled the garrison of Taixuanfu Fucheng to nearly 50,000 people.

At the same time as issuing this series of orders, he also immediately sent an urgent letter to his nominal superior, the Northwest Military and Political Envoy's Embassy, requesting immediate reinforcements, while the other fast horse galloped to the capital in the starry night long before this and reported to the military headquarters as quickly as possible.

Looking at the Wan Qian Xiong Pass in front of her, Claudia couldn't help but feel that this level, known as the first pass in the world, was firmly stuck in the southward passage of her country's army, so that the army of the Kaman Empire could only be consumed in front of this pass year after year.

Seeing the coach staring blankly at the level in front of him that no one seemed to be able to conquer, Viscount Dominic next to him also sighed softly, as a soldier, he could understand the feeling that the general of the attacking side could have when he saw this imposing and impeccable level, which was a feeling of helplessness and despair.

The majestic city walls, wide moats, well-equipped crossbows, trebuchets, bunkers, arrow holes, and even the neatly arranged logs and stones can be faintly seen, plus the surrounding dangerous mountains, are enough to discourage anyone. The front walls were cleaned and cleaned, and there was nothing but a moat, and there was nothing to hide from.

"Your Excellency the Marquis, the soldiers are waiting for your instructions." Seeing that Zhu Shuai hadn't come back to his senses for a long time, Dominic had to quietly remind him.

"Oh, order the Seventh Corps to garrison the left and right flanks, and the Guards to camp in the center, Your Excellency, Viscount, you arrange the tasks of the scouts, pay attention to the situation on our flanks and behind, and send someone to contact the Duke of Miley at once, and tell him that we have entered the attack area as planned. In addition, send someone to contact them and tell them that we will attack in three days' time. Claudia woke up from a dream and regained her composure.

"Yes." Dominic nodded, and immediately went down to make arrangements. (To be continued......)
