Section 93 The Wind and the Waves 2
readx;
August 698 is a memorable month, neither military historians nor ordinary people living in that era will forget that war-torn August, from the battle of Pinglu Tomb to the withdrawal of troops from Tianshui, from the continuous battle of Sanjiang on the southern front to the ensuing Kaman invasion of Heshuo, the war seems to have been too much for the Tang River Empire, the newspapers and media in Yanjing seem to have become numb to this frequent word, and the people of the empire are also quietly changing their attitudes towards the war, from concern to concern to worry, and finally to indifference, in short, these wars seem to have happened outside YanjingThere are still hundreds of thousands of imperial armies guarding inside and outside Yanjing, relying on Yanjing's insurmountable fortifications, the gentry and people of Yanjing seem to be content with this status quo of being in a corner. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, when the land and water armies of the great prince Situ Tai marched towards Yuhang in the south of the Yangtze River at the same time, the eyes of all the Yanjing people were attracted to the Jiangnan that had been peaceful, and almost everyone inside and outside the empire knew that the Jiangnan War was inevitable.
On August 19, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the day after Situ Tai's Second Army crossed the Fan River and entered Yuhang with the cooperation of a large number of ships of the naval fleet, the Kingdom of Milan announced that at the invitation of His Royal Highness Situ Yuan, King of Chu of the Tang River Empire, the Kingdom of Milan would send the Second Army of the Kingdom (Purple Lily Legion) into Jiangnan County of the Tang River Empire to help His Royal Highness the King of Chu defend Jiangnan, and at the same time, more troops would be stationed according to the changes in the situation.
On August 21, 698 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Situ Biao, the king of Xiang of the Tang River Empire, suddenly announced to the news media in the Wuhu region that he could not tolerate foreign forces entering the territory of the empire, and that it was unacceptable for Milanese to enter Jiangnan, and at the same time sent three divisions from Wenning to Jinhua, and Situ Yuan was fully responding to the invasion of his eldest brother's second army at this time, and he did not expect that his sixth brother would suddenly insert a knife in his waist, except to express his anger, he had no time to take care of it.
On August 22, Cheng Dayou, deputy commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region of the empire and the defender of Jiujiang Prefecture, said to the outside world that Jiujiang Lake Prefecture was in the same vein, and he did not want to see Huzhou facing the situation of war spreading, and Huzhou was an inseparable part of the central part of the empire, and sent the three main divisions of the 13th Army Corps under his control to Huzhou, and won the support of Situ Yuan, the king of Chu, who was defeated and retreated under the offensive of Situ Tai's army, and agreed that Huzhou would temporarily be taken over by Cheng Dayou in charge of all military and political affairs.
On August 25, the 1st, 3rd and 5th Divisions of the 13th Army Corps under the command of Cheng Dayou were stationed in Huzhou Fucheng, and at the same time took over and immediately reorganized the Huzhou Garrison Division. With the support of the central government of the empire, Cheng Dayou's slick methods immediately won over the gentry and merchants in Huzhou Mansion, and the gentry and merchants in Huzhou Mansion had always had a good impression of the western neighbor's ruling performance in Jiujiang Mansion, and the two sides hit it off, and the Huzhou Chamber of Commerce even offered to provide the new owner with an emergency loan of two million gold coins.
The Battle of Beiheshuo seems to have nothing to show remarkable, even if Nick really wants to show the military might of the Kamans in Montenegro and Longquan but is still not satisfied, except for the Taiping army when conquering Longquan Mansion City, they can barely call it the strength of the army, the Taiping army in the strategic places of Montenegro and Longquan Prefecture, including Montenegrin Fucheng, has retreated without exception, not only retreating, but also pouring thousands of miles, from west to east hundreds of miles of front, the unprepared Taiping army has completely degenerated into bandits who only know how to loot and extort squires and merchantsIn the face of the murderous Kaman soldiers who wanted to vent their fed up in the Battle of Pinglu, they completely lost their fighting spirit. Collapse at the touch of a button, collapse into an army, this is the simplest and most direct description of the entire Beiheshuo Battle Taiping Army.
Standing at the head of the majestic Longquan Mansion, Nick clasped his hands and looked at the east expressionlessly, the entire Longquan Mansion was already prostrate under his feet, and the Black Mountain Mansion had been completely occupied two days ago, but Nick's heart was always heavy, and he couldn't be happy, and a touch of melancholy quietly climbed up his forehead.
The young general in golden armor standing behind Nick's side also noticed the uneasiness of the boss's mood, and it took less than a week for the entire Beiheshuo two prefectures to be included in the bag, such a brilliant result, although the opponent was the Taiping Army with weak combat effectiveness, but it should be said that it was also worthy of glory to be solved so cleanly, but looking at the boss's expression still didn't seem to be very happy.
"Ni Shuai, you seem to have something on your mind? Is it Li Wufeng in the west or the Tanghe people in the east that bothers you so much? With all due respect, I don't see that any of them can threaten us at first. "There was only one person in the entire Kaman army who dared to call Nick and Miley by such official names as Commander or Lord, and he used a strange name, attaching the first letter of their names to their official titles, and getting a strange name.
"Claudia, don't despise Li Wufeng, although we captured Pinglu City and achieved a strategic support point, but the combat effectiveness of Li Wufeng's army has been exposed in this battle, which also made Nick really open his eyes once, it turns out that Miley has always asked me not to despise Li Wufeng, I still don't believe it, but this time I really saw it. More than 70,000 losses, which I have never encountered in a battle that Nick has ever faced in his life. In the past, we all underestimated the Tang River people, and we all thought that except for the first and second armies, our Kaman army was invincible in the Eastern Continent. โ
After a pause, a look of contemplation appeared on Nick's thin face, " I didn't expect this Li Wufeng to be able to build an army that was not inferior to Situ Tai's First and Second Army Corps in just a few years, it was really not simple, I really couldn't figure out what kind of person this guy was, you must know that the combat effectiveness of the army is not simply the number of people and the quality of weapons and equipment can be determined, what determines the combat effectiveness of the army is experience and training plus a group of excellent officers and an excellent commander, to do this, it is easy to say, but I don't know how much effort it takes in the middle, you and I know this. โ
Being able to be the commander of the Royal Guards Corps, he can be said to be the first person in the Kaman army after the two generalissimos of Nick and Miley, Claudia's insight is naturally not bad, he thought for a while, and said: "Ni Shuai, Li Wufeng's army is not born so strong, just like our army is also constantly trained in the northern Baiyin barbarians, without the Baiyin barbarians to provide us with the opportunity to train our soldiers, I think it is impossible for our Kamans to reach such a peak." The same was true of Li Wufeng's army, this guy chose Qingyang as his starting place, which certainly limited his economic base, but also provided him with an excellent place to sharpen his army. โ
"Qingyang and even the entire Northwest County is the land of four wars, the nomadic light cavalry from the Tengger grassland is wild and fierce, as fast as wind and fire, the Siathrow Empire was tossed by a Mott people, the original Northwest County was also ravaged barren and desolate, Li Wufeng wanted to gain a foothold in Qingyang, first of all, he had to face the attack of the nomads, and at that time the northwest was full of bandits, Li Wufeng had to deal with the bandits and bandits inside in addition to facing the nomadic barbarians, especially the Guide bandit army was quite rampant in the entire northwest under the command of the Taixuan Mansion Fielding at that time, at the same time, the Siathrow people have been eyeing the Yinchuan Mansion in the north, in this situation, Li Wufeng was able to survive, all thanks to the army in his hands that had been tempered by bloody battles, plus this guy skillfully conquered the Gaoyue people, and used the natural brute strength of those guys to form a powerful and incomparable hoplite, in this way, Li Wufeng was able to truly become a character in this land. โ
"In the past few years that Li Wufeng has been based in the northwest, the Luope, Mote, Luzon, Siathrow, and Taiping people, including us, have caused him a lot of trouble, but at the same time, they have also provided him with countless opportunities for military training, and Li Wufeng's army has grown up in such an environment. In contrast, although our army has a history of several hundred years, it mainly faces the Tanghe people and the Baiyin barbarians, but it has little contact with the nomadic barbarians, and lacks experience in dealing with the nomadic barbarian light cavalry, which comes and goes like the wind, so it will suffer in the battle with the nomadic light cavalry. โ
"Many people think that the Baiyin barbarians have always been our henchmen, how good it would be if there were no Baiyin barbarians, but I think that in a certain aspect, the Baiyin barbarians at least have a certain contribution and help to us, most of our army has gone through the war with the Baiyin barbarians, this is actually the best training ground, without the Baiyin barbarians as a sparring partner, we have to push the army directly to the battlefield with the Tanghe people, each time it will be a large-scale battle, so our losses may be far more than the current situationใ Nishuai, what do you think?"
Nick showed an appreciative look on his face, although this guy in front of him was not promoted by himself, in terms of relationship, this guy should be closer to Miley, but Nick still thinks that this person is indeed the most potential young general in the country except for himself and Miley, and he can go to the position of the head of the Royal Guard, and he has to say that he still has some ability. At least this guy will use his brain to observe the situation and command the army, and he doesn't want some generals, who have fought all their lives, and still rely only on intuition and experience, and never advance. From what this guy said, it can be heard that he not only looks at the army from the tactical level, but also has a preliminary ability to look at the problem from the strategic level. It is not something that ordinary people can imagine to be able to divide the existence of the Baiyin barbarians into two, and the vast majority of people think that the Baiyin barbarians are a great disaster, but they have never realized the benefits that the Baiyin barbarians bring to their country. That's the difference.
