Section 80 Striving for Merit

readx;? Hoffman's heart has never been so hearty, it has been a long time since he was so comfortable, since the first battle of Gerok was attacked by the Northwest gang of shameless people, he has always been in a depressed state of remorse, although General Miley took all the responsibility, but Hoffman knew that this actually had something to do with his lax mentality at the time, but now everything is over.

CM's all-night running did not make him feel the slightest tiredness, running from the border of Van Lin to the city of Yulin, two hundred and twenty miles arrived in one night, and broke through the pass overnight, a team of light cavalry of 10,000 people jumped off their horses and became infantry, and the entire city of Yulin collapsed in less than two hours under the attack of their own 10,000 light cavalry, perhaps the long peace made them not realize that the disaster would come from the west. When the Sun, Moon and Star Banner of the Kamans was raised at the head www.biquge.info of Yulin City, the heavy cavalry of Hoffman's Second Corps was still more than 80 miles away from Yulin City, and the five infantry troops had just stepped into Yulin less than 60 miles.

The Yulin people who are accustomed to the three-legged blue bird flag of the Taiping Sect were frightened by the shouting and killing all night, but, in addition to secretly checking the truth from the crack in the door, most of them stayed in the house and did not dare to go out, the Taiping Sect people during this period of time The wanton search for the so-called rebels has turned the rich families in Yulin City into frightened birds, and a large number of gentry and businessmen have been put into prison, unless you pay a huge amount of bail to escape, otherwise what awaits you will be the spiritual torment of not seeing people alive and not seeing the corpse.

After the daylight was bright, the more daring people went out, and overnight the patrol on the street had completely changed their clothes, and the Kaman soldiers who spoke lame Tang asked the citizens not to go out, and they all returned to their homes to wait for the notice, and Yulin knew that the real wolf was coming, and the Kamans occupied Yulin!

CM "Report!" the soldier's loud voice sounded outside the door.

CM "Come in!" Hoffman was still intoxicated with the joy of victory, standing in the courtyard of the Yulin Mansion Zunfu, that is, the original Yulin City Guard's Mansion, looking at the logistics soldiers who had cleaned up and tidyed up, Hoffman couldn't help but want to touch all this, it was true, all this was true, years of longing, horse stepping on the plain, finally became a reality, of course, all this was built after his own night of fighting.

CM "There is an urgent military situation!" Although the interest in appreciation was interrupted, Hoffman was in a rather good mood at this time.

p;. CM "General Nick ordered the Second Corps to keep 10,000 infantry stationed in Yulin City, and the rest of the troops, non-stop, without unloading their armor, to cooperate with the Fourth Corps to advance southward, aiming at Qinghe!" After reading the order, the soldiers waited for the general to give the order.

cm: "Well, probably General Nick didn't expect this Yulin City to come so easily, if it weren't for the news and response of those Tang gentry who were killed by the Taiping Sect, I'm afraid we might not be able to win so easily." Hoffman nodded and smiled, his face had faded with excitement, thinking that he had calmed down from the ecstasy of the original victory, but the words were thrown to the deputy who had been checking the map beside him.

cm"What the general said is very true, but if there is no officer and soldier of our Second Corps, especially the general, you are the first soldier, I am afraid that the Taiping army in Yulin City will still resist stubbornly, it is the general who will go to the city to kill the general, deter the enemy, and will lay the victory, but the general should be credited with the first merit in this battle!" The adjutant general withdrew his gaze from the map, smiled and complimented his boss, and saw that the boss was a little displeased, so he quickly diverted the topic again.

cm"General Nick's purpose is also very clear, the northern ravines of Ping 6 are crisscrossed, which is quite unfavorable to our light cavalry and heavy cavalry, but if we can take Qinghe, then the east can threaten the capital of the Tang River people, and the west can swallow Ping 6 and even Yasuhara, once this advantage is established, I am afraid that no one will be able to wipe the three-star flag of our Kaman Empire from this land. However, general, you see, if we take Yulin, we can go straight to Ping 6 from the southwest corner of here, although the horse team may not be able to do it, but if we let our 30,000 people lightly armed infantry sneak around, maybe we can seize Ping 6 before the Fourth Corps defeats the Qinghe Taiping Army and then advances west to Ping 6!" The adjutant general unfolded the map in front of Hoffman, and said with a light finger, and his heart was overflowing.

CM Hoffman's heart was shocked, and his eyes immediately fell on a large-scale geographical topographic map of Yulin Prefecture that he had just obtained, which was only collected from the confidential room of the Yulin Mansion of the Taiping Sect, and the detailed terrain was displayed clearly on the large-scale map, from each mountain beam to the mountains and streams that disappeared during the dry period during the flood period, all of which were clearly revealed in this volume.

CM from the southwest corner of Yulin south can enter the northern area of Ping 6, but the northern area of Ping 6 belongs to the typical deep hilly terrain, and there are many rivers, most of the places have no road at all, but if you stick to the southeast corner of the Jieluo slightly gentler terrain can clearly see that there is a side road, and this side road even extends to the north of Ping 6, close to the edge of the plain, and then the main road of Ping 6 is connected, obviously passable. Hoffman was not reassured, and took out several other maps for comparison, and now this road does exist, and there is a note on another map that specifically explains this road, proving that this road exists and is passable.

CM saw that the chief general took a long breath, and the deputy general knew that his boss was a little tempted, and he didn't say much, just lined up a few maps, waiting for the chief general's decision.

cm: "You said that if we stick to the east of the Jerok and go south, will we be seen by the people in the northwest of the Gerook?" After a long time, Hoffman raised his head and asked.

CM "This should not be, although the first road is close to Gerok, but the general can still be separated by two mountain beams between it, and now General Miley is conducting military exercises in North Jerok, I am afraid that he has attracted the attention of the people of the Northwest there, this is not the territory of Gerok but also a small road across the mountain beams, can they be so concerned? And we have just sent someone to find a guide who is familiar with the terrain of northern Yulin, according to him, this road does exist, and it is not very rugged, although it is not possible to walk through the horse, but it is not very difficult to walk, but this road is prone to landslides in the rainy season, and it is intermittent and passable, and now it is winter, the climate is dry, and this kind of bad luck should not be encountered. The adjutant general was overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly cheered for Hoffman, "Corps commander, since the last time our second division was defeated in Gerook, the other corps have quite a lot of opinions on our ranking of the second, if we can't win two beautiful battles in this battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block the mouths of those people." ”.

CM Hoffman didn't know the mystery of this, the combat effectiveness of the Kaman corps has always been expressed in order, Dominic's Seventh Corps had been determined to rise after the capture of Jiayuguan, but it was defeated in the Battle of Gerlok, not only was it not able to be promoted, it is said that the ranking has been determined to be ranked after the newly formed Eighth and Ninth Corps, which is a great shame for the entire corps. And the Second Corps led by himself has always had a good record, but it capsized in the battle of Gerook, and the ranking is also likely to drop, but fortunately, this time it got such a good opportunity to go south, and it was the time for good performance. However, although Yulin won the battle, General Nick also knew that this battle was originally an ironclad victory, and there was not much suspense, so when the deputy complimented himself, Hoffman was not happy, but if he could win the flat 6 before Hurley's Fourth Corps, the second division's battle to retain the position would be completely won.

CM is just that General Nick's order to himself is to let himself cooperate with the Fourth Corps to go south, and in addition to his own Second Corps, there are also three corps of the Third and Eighth Corps will also go south together, for the Taiping Army in Qinghe Mansion, this is simply a knife to kill chickens, even if his Second Corps follows up, I am afraid it will be difficult to share a spoonful, let alone the battle record. Hoffman himself is now tormented by this choice, and he is going crazy.

cm: "General, this road was learned from the Taiping Sect after the capture of Yulin, and the on-the-spot decision is also the power given by the commander of a corps by the marshal, not to mention that the Fourth Corps has the third and eighth corps to cooperate, will there be a problem in dealing with the rabble in Qinghe Mansion, then Hurley should really commit suicide." Seeing that the main general was still hesitant, the deputy general further cheered him up, "If the adults are worried about the city guard legion of the Tanghe people, I don't think it is necessary, if the city guard corps wants to occupy Qinghe, I am afraid that it will already be done, and there is still a need to wait until now when Situ Mingyue has just been buried? As long as we win the Ping 6 Mansion and cover up the ugliness, everything can be explained clearly. ”.

CM "Okay! Well said, the war never holds the winner accountable, as long as we take Ping 6, even if General Nick holds us responsible, we can explain it much better! Most of the Taiping army of Ping 6 is concentrated in Huashuiyu in the southeast, and there are only more than 10,000 remnants in Fucheng, which is not worth mentioning at all, I don't believe that our 30,000 warriors will not be able to win Ping 6. The bulging green tendons twisted on Hoffman's neck, he slapped his palm on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Over there in the Fourth Corps, let's let the cavalry follow, if Hurley asks them, they will say that our infantry has been delayed because of entering the city to rest, maybe a little later, and it is estimated that our Fourth Corps will not be needed in the battle of Qinghe." ”.
