Section 51 Flag Planting

readx;

Wen Jie can feel the huge pressure brought by His Royal Highness King Qin's words, now it is not a question of whether he can take the Principality of Medan, but whether he can open the Medan passage in the shortest possible time, and win time and initiative to take the four city-states in one fell swoop, if too much time is consumed in the battle to conquer Medan, once the mercenaries return eastward, it will make the entire southern expedition plan fall into a quagmire, especially since the intelligence agencies have obtained the information that the Pasha people are actively negotiating peace with the coalition forces.

"Your Highness, my subordinates insist that it is more appropriate to negotiate after taking Woda, although we won a complete victory in the first battle of Sulawesi, but it was based on the situation that the coalition elephants were solved by us by special means, many people in the coalition army still think that our Western Xinjiang Army is not as strong as imagined, if we can conquer Voda City with an iron fist, so that the people of the Peninsula can fully see the iron-blooded military might of our Western Xinjiang Army, then the invincible image of our Western Xinjiang Army will definitely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Peninsula, whether it is for our later conquest of the four city-states, or the confrontation with the Western Alliance of the Peninsula Alliance, it will have a great positive impact。 Taking a deep breath, Wen Jie's swarthy face turned slightly pale, he knew that his words were enough to affect the judgment and decision of His Royal Highness King Qin, but he believed in his understanding of the Medan people and Maroda, since His Highness asked about himself, he must also come up with his own opinion without reservation, as for whether His Highness adopts it or not, it is His Highness's business.

"Your Highness, your subordinates also agree with Wen Jie's opinion, our army has made a bridgehead in Sulawesi in the south, and it can be said that at least it has established a foothold on the peninsula. Economic and cultural immersion and assimilation are important, but in showing the necessary military might, subordinates think it is quite necessary, which can deter some ill-intentioned people, and at the same time can deepen the awe of the tribes on the peninsula, sometimes awe is often more important than goodwill, especially some weak and small peoples, many times you are friendly to it, it thinks that you have to ask for it or that you are weak and can be bullied, the necessary iron-blooded means, often can play a lot of unexpected roles, excessive warmth and affection will only produce side effects. The Director of Military Affairs, who had been silent, was thought-provoking as soon as he spoke, especially the last two sentences, which hit the crux of Wufeng's hesitation in his heart.

Compassion is not in charge of the army, this sentence can also be applied to the political level, in order to win the hearts of the people, he blindly shows his benevolent and generous side in front of the people, although he has won the support of many ordinary lower-class people, but it has also brought many side effects, that is, those people and the upper class of the country will sometimes overestimate their own strength and ability, and even give birth to the idea of challenging their own authority, it can be seen that many things are often pros and cons, and cannot have both, but this time it may be time to show their iron fist and bloody side。

Nodding heavily, with the support of the two, Wu Feng also made up his mind in his heart: "Well, that's the case, if you stay for a while that day, you will give the other party an ultimatum straightforwardly, you must follow the conditions we have drawn up, the terms of the principle surname must not be changed in any way, I will not see the other party anymore, it is estimated that the other party will definitely be entangled, and I might as well make a false deal with him that day." Here, he ordered the 3rd Division of the 4th Army Corps to stay and leave 3 wings to garrison the city of Jiana, and the 2 wings to march east with the Gaoyue militia and insert into the hinterland of Medan; ordered Mu Lige and Wen Na to lead the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th divisions of the 4th Army Corps and the 3rd Division of the 1st Army Corps to enter the territory of Medan immediately, and to take Woda City for me at all costs within two days of going south, and within two days I will see the Jinpeng flag hanging at the head of Woda City, otherwise military law will be involved!"

On November 16, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the 110,000 troops of the five divisions of the Western Xinjiang Army, which had been waiting impatiently at the junction of the Principality of Sulawesi and the Principality of Medan, received the order, like a torrent surging down the floodgates, and swept towards the important city of Woda, an important town in the north of the Principality of Medan, which was standing in the first place.

Voda City, located in the north of the Medan Basin in the east of the Indochina Peninsula, the Medan Basin is the core area of the Principality of Medan, Voda City and the capital Miyaluo City are located at the north and south ends of the Medan Basin, as an important town in the north of the Principality of Medan, Woda is also the largest industrial and commercial center in the north of the Principality of Medan, and is also a famous coffee processing and distribution center. Woda City has thus established its important position in the Principality of Medan and the eastern part of the Peninsula Alliance, but due to the long-term peace and stability, the city defense system here is a mere formality, and it has not been repaired and completed for a long time.

Mu Lige stood in the front of the camp, crossed his waist and looked proudly at the Woda City in front of him, slightly northeast to southwest of the city, the north gate of the city wall is only seven meters high, the gate is made of thick wood clad iron sheet, the outer edge of the city wall is flat, the city wall began to be stacked chaotically above some defensive facilities such as rolling wood, Mu Lige looked in his eyes, happy in his heart, the people of Medan obviously did not have much preparation, to be prepared for the unprepared, this battle has taken a big lead, five divisions in his hands 110,000 troops, and one of them is his old subordinate of the first army of the third division, although the time required by His Royal Highness is tight, but he is confident that he will solve the obstacle in front of him in advance.

"Brother Wen, how is it? This is Woda City, the first shield that the people of Medan are resistant to holding onto, His Royal Highness has already given an order, asking us not to attack, we must resolutely take it as soon as we attack, and we must not have any mud and water, and we must thoroughly play the military prestige and reputation of our Western Xinjiang Army, I am ready to let two divisions go into battle at the same time, and launch an attack from the north and west respectively, and the first to enter the city will be rewarded! Which two divisions do you see go first?"

Wen Na could hear the other party's arrogance from the other party's words, and the blood surname in his heart that did not admit defeat was also ignited by the other party's words at once, the other party obviously regarded the Third Division of the First Army Corps, his old subordinate, as the main force of the siege, or he also wanted to take this opportunity to let the other party see the true strength of the elite of the Burmese army.

"Hehe, corps commander, you seem to be a little biased, you are now the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, but you are no longer the division commander of the Third Division of the First Army Corps, can you bear to see this kind of thing that exalts the prestige of our Fourth Army Corps fall on the heads of other troops? I suggest that the first and second divisions of our Fourth Army Corps go first, the Fourth and Fifth Army Corps serve as reserves, and the Third Division of the First Army Corps is the reserve team, I wonder what about you, Corps Commander?" Wen Na smiled gently, seemingly humble, but his words were a little merciless.

Stunned for a moment, Mu Lige suddenly burst into laughter: "Brother Wen reminded me well, how can our Fourth Army be descended after such a good thing?! Okay, according to Brother Wen's wishes, the First and Second Divisions will rest for half an hour, and launch a general attack after half an hour, I hope I don't see me use reserves!"

When he said the last sentence, Mu Lige's eyes were straight to the two division commanders of the 1st and 2nd Divisions standing on the side.

"Please rest assured that the first (second) division will never fail in its mission!" The faces of the two division commanders were already flushed, and their shining eyes revealed not only infinite confidence, but also the passion of eagerness to fight a battle.

"Very good, Lord Wen and I are here waiting for the two good news, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is also waiting for our army to send him good news in Yada City, this battle is a good time for the two of you to show the demeanor of our Fourth Legion, and the performance of the two will also be reported to His Royal Highness the King of Qin without reservation, it is a mule or a horse, now is the time to take a walk!" patted the shoulders of the two of them heavily, Mu Lige's eyes were full of eager expectation:" His Royal Highness King Qin once asked me to convey to all of us in the Fourth Legion, if you have a fault, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and all of our performances are in the eyes of His Royal Highness King Qin, I hope you can seize the opportunity!"

The surging frenzy slapped madly on the walls of Woda City, and the rain of arrows flying in the sky and the pouring down of the rolling wood and stones could not stop the soldiers of the Fourth Army who wanted to make contributions in this battle, from the division commander to the ordinary privates, everyone was watched by His Royal Highness the King of Qin behind you Looking forward to your performance This sentence aroused endless fighting spirit and fighting spirit, and the two division commanders, together with their respective deputies and chief of staff, divided the more than 20,000 men and horses of their division into three groups, and launched a fierce attack on the two city walls one after another under the cover of insufficient small long-range weapons。

The wails and howls of the soldiers have no effect on the red-eyed officers, and the stumps and corpses are no different from rotten mud and sand for the officers and soldiers, and this has become the cheapest flesh and blood slaughterhouse, although Voda City is not an impregnable fortress, but it is indeed difficult to take such a large city in one day, and it is indeed difficult for the soldiers of two divisions. However, with their indomitable spirit and great psychological superiority, the two divisions finally destroyed the already weak Medan defense system after launching the sixth wave of offensives, and the western and northern cities fell together almost at the same time, and the Jinpeng banner fluttered high above the head of Woda in less than a day and a half after Li Wufeng's order was issued.

On November 18, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the northern important town of Woda of the Principality of Medan fell, and the garrison general Maroka was captured and led the whole city to surrender. In the battle, the Fourth Army suffered more than 12,000 casualties, of which more than 8,000 were killed, while the 10,000 defenders of the Principality of Medan had less than 2,000 remaining.
