The ships of various sizes that had been requisitioned were soon crowded together on the river less than 500 meters apart, and the 2nd Division of the 7th Army Corps acted as the vanguard, and they had firmly established themselves on the south bank of the Volga River, but the Luzon seemed to be aware of the danger they were facing, and although their cavalry was not strong, they still desperately attacked the Tang army, which had not yet had time to set up camp and set up defenses.

Both sides seem to be a little uncomfortable with this battle, whether it is the Luzon or the Tang army, for this kind of offensive and defensive transposition battle has not been fully entered into the state, although the battle is fierce, but it is always limited to a certain range. Although the 2nd Division of the 7th Army Corps had the advantage in strength, it did not rush forward, but only firmly held the ferry, and the protection of this important pontoon bridge could provide a smooth and safe passage for the follow-up army. It was not until the other two divisions of the 7th Army completely crossed the Volga that the 2nd Division began to consciously advance to the flanks and south, and by this time the sky had turned dark again, ushering in the second night of the Tang Army's official start of the second phase.

The two Ranger regiments were given priority to ensure passage, taking advantage of the silent night, the Ranger was like a swarm of flying locusts, flying by in black pressure, and then the two divisions of the Indean Regiment and the Tenth Army Corps also quickly followed, and more than 200,000 troops finally crossed the Volga River, and the second phase of the Indo-Japanese War officially began.

Crouff looked solemnly at the large map spread out on the table in front of him, the terrain and topography of the entire South Indian region were displayed in front of him, and standing on the side was General Seloway, who was still wearing a beautiful Merry military uniform, with a faint smile on his handsome and elegant cheeks, as if he didn't care about anything.

"What's wrong?General Crouff, is there something wrong? I don't see your face is very good, is there something wrong with the information?" Selovy crossed his arms, and the scabbard with sharkskin and sapphire on the gold silk handle swayed with his trembling body, but the smugness in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Well, General Selovy, it seems that the current situation is not quite consistent with the intelligence and predictions we have in advance, the strength of the Tang Army on the middle and east roads is not yet known, but the west side seems to be a little more than we expected, and now we have found more than two corps and five divisions, which are subordinate to the Seventh Army Corps and the Indean Legion, if Cui Wenxiu's main target is also in Nishizawa Province, then we will have to fight this battle. ”

Smiling slightly bitterly, Crouff couldn't hide the worry in his heart, the Tang army's three-way division was a decision made based on the changes in his own strength and the adjustment of his own deployment in the early stage, and his own side should not be wrong in judging from the intelligence of all aspects. If he was in the position of Cui Wenxiu, before he learned of the agreement between the Pasha and the Meri and his side, he would definitely make such a decision in the face of the empty hinterland of South India, and take Kanata and Goa in one fell swoop, basically control the core area of South India, and the east road can be directly inserted into Pongon to complete the strategic encirclement, from a strategic point of view, the purpose of the Tang Army will be basically achieved, and the remaining actions can completely rely on Goa as a base to find opportunities to eat the own side that is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, and it can be said that their own side has no chance of winning。

"No, as far as I know, Cui Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang Army, is very greedy, and if he has the opportunity to swallow South India De'an in one bite, he will definitely not give up, not to mention that the Tang Army has always been arrogant and regards our army in the Central Continent as nothing, if Cui Wenxiu has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, he will be able to endure it? Haven't they coveted the land of South India De'an for a long time? Now that there is a chance, why don't they pounce on it all at once?"

Selovy's mind is not as simple as he imagined, and his psychological analysis of Cui Wenxiu and Tang Jun is reasonable, but Crouff knows that this is just a superficial phenomenon, and Selovy's speculation can only be said to be the way it should be under common sense, but in fact, whether the other party will act as his side envisions, Crouff is not too sure. However, Crouff also firmly believes that with Cui Wenxiu's spleen surname of being happy and liking to move in danger, when the situation is favorable to the Tang Army, he should be able to swallow South India in one bite in multiple ways, but it may be different in the focus of several ways to use troops, he is worried that Cui Wenxiu will not put too much force on the western road, so that his plan to fight a war of annihilation on the western road becomes a war of resistance, but thinking about Frederick's promise that the two corps will rush back within the time limit, Crouff is much more determined in his heart.

"General Selovy, we have to estimate all kinds of possible surnames, the Tang Army should be divided into multiple routes, but we have to imagine that once the Tang Army sets the West Road as the main attack route, the number of Tang troops on the West Road may exceed what we originally set, so we also need to be more cautious in the arrangement. Crouff explained that he also needs to win the support of the other side so that the two armies can work together in the upcoming war.

"Hehe, General Crouff, are you too cautious, even if the Tang Army lists the West Road as the main attack route, then it will not exceed 150,000 people, right? Your Luzon Army now has more than 150,000 people, and our Merry has also gathered the most elite 150,000 Army, at least twice as much as the opponent, do you think we can't achieve victory yet? The two of us said it in private, it doesn't matter, but if we say it, it will be too long for the Tang Army's ambition and destroy our own prestige!" Selovy is a little dissatisfied with the other side's caution, and it is really worrying that such a lack of self-confidence will be the manager.

Didn't talk for a long time, Kruf had nothing to say for a while, the other party was so confident that it was almost arrogant, how strong the combat effectiveness of the Merry Army was that these Merry Army, who had not tasted the strength of the Tang Army, I am afraid that it would only be seen after the actual combat test, but the 150,000 army, and it was also known as the elite of the Merry Army, it must not be too far behind, as long as Frederick's two corps could join his main force in time, Klouff was still sure to have a good time with the Tang Army, as long as this Tang Army could be annihilated, even if Kanata was lost, and even Pongon was temporarily lost, Kluf thought it was worth it, after all, it was able to completely annihilate the main force of the Tang Army, for morale, it will be a huge incentive for Luzon's allies, as for the land, the gains and losses are between the square inches, as long as the strength is there, you can get it back at any time.

As the scouts sent the information back, Crouff realized it was too late to change his strategy. At this moment, he has realized that Cui Wenxiu is actually an idea to fight with himself, all of them are planning to concentrate superior forces to annihilate the enemy, but the eastern and central lines he took retreated and stubbornly defended, while the other party took a feint, both sides coincidentally concentrated the main forces on the western front, and he even deliberately only adopted the strategy of attacking and harassing the Tang army to cross the Volga River, thinking that a group of wolves who wanted to steal and eat sheep were put in, and a group of wolves were brought in to fight wolves, but he didn't expect that what came was a group of lions who chose people to eat, but there is an essential difference between wolves and lions。

It's just that at this time, it's too late to talk about anything else, the Tang Army's influx into Cize far exceeded Crouff's prediction, with 200,000 troops, although his side still has an advantage in terms of strength, but now Kluf has to hope that the Merry Army can really say to the absolute elite that General Selovy who is still clamoring for the total annihilation of the Tang Army, hoping that the Merry Army can reshow the scenery of the Merry Army that has been silent for too long in this battle, and Frederick's two corps reinforcements may become an important weight that determines the entire battle situation。

At this time, Kluf's mood has improved a lot, he finally received a long-awaited news, the Tang Army Rangers raided Goa and Canata, this battle report that was not good news made his heart that had been hanging in the air finally let go, it seems that the two Ranger regiments of the Tang Army still launched an attack on Goa and Kanata, which seemed to be more important, under the arrangement of Cui Wenxiu, and his own two 10,000 troops were defeated in the battle of sniping the Tang Army Rangers, but this is irrelevant, the important thing is that the two Ranger regiments of the Tang Army are not on the Western Front, not on this plain, and this is enough。

At this time, Kruf, who put down his thoughts, and Cui Wenxiu, who was strategizing, had almost no worries, and the two huge waves collided together, and they were about to burst out immediately.

The Nishizawa Plain was destined to shine in this battle, and when more than 500,000 men and horses on both sides were concentrated on this originally very spacious flat land, the banners that covered the sky and the endless company camps made this plain suddenly seem a little narrow. The Luzon people's white-on-white and red-edged wheel banner and the Merry's snow-blue holy light banner occupied almost the left and right wings, such a grand formation made Serovi's blood boil, if he could lay the foundation in this battle, Selovi believed that he would be able to squeeze out all his competitors without any suspense and be promoted to the rank of marshal of the principality.

The two corps reinforced by Frederick were already less than thirty miles away from here, and they could rush to the battlefield in the afternoon, and these two elite corps, which were regarded as Frederick's magic weapon for victory, were almost withdrawn from the southern front at great risk, and would surely bring unexpected but important changes to the entire war situation.
