From resisting the attack of the Liberians in the north to suppressing the uprising of slaves and poor people, these armies can be regarded as elite divisions with a hundred battles, but they began to decline after facing the rising forces in the western frontier led by Li Wufeng, but this is not due to the army itself, but the bureaucratic mechanism formed by the Tang River Empire for a long time has seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the army, and in the later period, it was directly led to the collapse of the army's morale because of the collapse of the dynasty, but they still maintained the most basic primitive quality in terms of training and combat experience。 Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mu Lige's strong style soon saved a group of people who had lost their goals and seemed very decadent and negative, Mu Lige, as the third person in the army after Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu, was not only his outstanding military achievements, but more importantly, he was the absolute confidant of His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor was in the Tang River Emperor [***] The alumni of the School of Affairs, the relationship is irreversible, and Mu Lige even said at the beginning of his tenure that he would build this army into the army of the top three emperors of the empire, and his tone made the whole army look sideways, and at the same time, it also made the remnants of the Tang River Empire who were still idle for a long time in high spirits, especially after Mu Lige took over, all kinds of materials and a large number of advanced weapons and equipment were replenished in the shortest possible time, and it also made these remnants see that their fate seemed to usher in a glimmer of light.

And Mu Lige also vetoed the idea that he was going to transfer officers from the two military academy graduates of the empire, but directly let the existing remnants of the army be selected from the various departments, encouraging self-recommendation and recommendation, which also won the unanimous support of the remnants of the troops, the officers have always been most worried about this problem, if it is taken over by some young officers from the military academy, whether it is a soldier or a grassroots officer, it is unlikely that they will accept them in a short period of time, which will inevitably greatly affect the speed of the army, and will also leave some estrangement and shadow in the army, so when Mu Lige's latest selection method is introducedAlmost immediately, it caused an uproar throughout the 11th Army Corps, disrupting the rules of seniority, encouraging self-recommendation and participation in examinations, and all officers at all levels were selected from among the existing soldiers and officers, which not only maintained the fair surname, but also greatly encouraged the positive surnames of the grassroots soldiers.

In addition to the original qualities, the further training carried out by Mu Lige also further united their military spirit, and a brand-new Imperial Eleventh Legion became in front of them.

And when Mu Lige led this regained fierce tiger and wolf army to appear on the land of Indean, the entire legion was a hot-blooded man with the intention of making meritorious contributions outside the empire and re-establishing his own martial arts, and he was bent on proving his worth by opening up territory for the empire.

The climate at the eastern foot of the Bakla Mountains is much cooler than that of the Indean interior, although the Bakla Mountains do not stretch for a long distance, but they are extremely treacherous and steep, the peaks above the snow line can be seen everywhere, and the whole climate also presents a vertical distribution of alpine areas, Mulig chooses to travel through the meadows and shrublands at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, the terrain of this area is relatively gentle, just in the mountainside of the Bakla Mountains, like a belt just in the middle of the Bakla Mountains, although it is still lush with vegetation, but it is relatively gentle。

Although the morale is strong, these soldiers from the north of the interior of the empire are obviously not very accustomed to this kind of alpine terrain, which is also where Mulig is a little worried, it is not very difficult to cross the Bacclat Mountains, the problem is to maintain a relative speed, the three ranger regiments have advanced from the valley between the provinces of Dexin and Destine, and it is estimated that they will soon enter the Southern Tengger Grassland, and as soon as they enter the Southern Tengger Grassland, they will be like a tiger with wings, and they can reach the Hanover border in a day or two, which means that if the Imperial Eleventh Army wants to keep up, it will have to cross the Bacla Mountains within a week。

Fortunately, the intelligence department had already equipped the 11th Army with guides who were very familiar with the terrain, and they were able to come up with many ways to help the soldiers from the interior of the empire to adapt to their needs, and they could barely maintain a relatively fast speed of action.

Steven, who wiped a handful of sweat, could finally take a breath, and the Tang Army, which was full of offensives, finally ended the day's offensive and retreated, is this the Tang Army that is known as invincible? Steven shook his head, Suvorov's words also seem to be a little untrue, probably to find a fig leaf for his defeat, although the offensive of the Tang army is endless, but the will to fight is not resolute, and it lacks the determination and courage to not give up without fear of death and achieve the goal, although the city of Birja is strong, but the Tang army's successive attacks are too weak and weak, until the next few waves of offensives are still like something, but under the strict and complete defense system of Birja and the defense of the White Stork Corps, the Tang army's attack methods are not enough to shake the stability of Birja。

Steven also knew that the Tang Army must have some more advanced and powerful attack equipment that had not yet been put to the forefront, but he had already made a detailed analysis, even if the Tang Army's attack force was tripled, he was sure to maintain this situation, and it could be said that the current Tang Army's offensive had not yet touched Birja's muscles and bones.

Niassis, who was standing on the side, was not as optimistic as Steven, he always had a bad premonition, although the posture of the Tang army was fierce, but the combat effectiveness was indeed lackluster, no wonder the commander was a little proud, the attack method was outdated, the siege equipment was single, and some of the new siege weapons that had already been listed in the intelligence were not seen, it seemed that the Tang army was deliberately hiding its strength, but since they were going to prepare to attack Bilja, how could they hide their secrets? Don't you know that such an attack could not cause much damage to Bilja at all?

Is it true that they are planning to break through and attack Gdansk from the tail end of the Stana Mountains in the south? It is the mainland of the Duchy of Hanover, the southeastern pass and an important port of the Duchy of Hanover, and the defense system of Gdansk is no worse than that of Birgia, and the terrain is more precipitous, except that the defenders are slightly less than Birja, Niassis cannot think of a reason why the Tang army will go near and far.

Seeing his deputy's distracted look, Steven seemed to know Nyassis's worries: "Nyassis, are you worried that the Don Army may break through from Gdansk? Don't worry too much, I have seen the defense system of Gdansk, it is not much worse than Birja, the Hanoverians are fighting and defending in their own territory, and their battles are ** and will be more tenacious, although the number of troops is less, but once they encounter a foreign invasion, they will definitely immediately mobilize for war, I believe that a large city like Gdansk, temporary mobilization to recruit tens of thousands of people should not be a problem, that is to defend their own land, not as good as ours. ”

"Well, Lord Steven, we can imagine this situation, and the Tang people should also think about it, so why do you think the Tang Army would make such a decision?" Nyasis asked rhetorically.

"Well, this is also where I have some doubts, Gdansk still has a fleet of the Allied Navy, and the Tang people have not yet established a decent navy in the Baltic Sea or even the Aegean Sea, and it is unlikely that they will attack from the sea, so how do you say that the Tang Army broke through Gdansk, are they putting on a bluff here, and concentrating all the elites on the Gdansk side?" Steven muttered, the Tang army's camp under the city wall stretched for ten miles, the banner covered the sky, the infantry formation was being closed, and the movement of the Tang army's troops could not be seen, and the scouts who went out of the city had not received an accurate information so far, only that there were signs that the Tang army's army was moving towards the southern end of the Stara Mountains, but the number was unknown.

Niassis's original idea of wondering whether the Tang Army would have other follow-up moves was also misled by Steven's assumption, "This possibility also has a surname, but the Tang Army's battle plan is a little too scattered." ”

"Well, I have informed the Hannover military that they will provide us with reinforcements immediately, and on the other hand, they have been reminded to be careful of Gdansk, the Don Army may focus its attack on Gdansk, and I hope they will be able to respond in time. Steven said wisely.

"That's the only way, I hope the Hanoverians can respond in time, once Gdansk is lost, then we will have to withdraw our troops from Birja immediately, Birja is strong, if the Tang army is copied back, then we can only be captured, we have to pay attention to the changes in the situation in Gdansk at any time. Nyassis replied.

In fact, Steven and Niassis cannot be blamed, neither of them would have thought that the Tang Army's battle plan and will would be so large and so strong, and that it would cross and insert itself from the Barak Mountains to the Tengger steppe and go around thousands of miles to sneak attack northern Hanover. In their view, the strategic purpose of the Tang Army is to recover the entire Indean region and make their West Indean County complete, and Birja is their center of gravity, and other places should be some cover and containment means. Even Gdansk is likely to want to mobilize the Hanoverian army, and the real capture of Gdansk will inevitably turn into a full-scale war with the Tang Empire and the Hansen Alliance.
