While the Luzon were preparing for a big fight, the war was in full swing in the West Indo-German region. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ying Jianming was a little angry, he didn't expect that he encountered such a situation in his first real foreign campaign, and he couldn't help but admit that the combat effectiveness shown by the Thuringian Second Corps on the opposite side should be said to be stronger than his own Indian Corps in some aspects, especially the tenacious style of the other party made Ying Jianming sigh, and some arrogant emotions because of the weakness of the troops in the Indean area disappeared after encountering the head-on attack of the Thuringian Second Corps, but the war did not become smooth because of his own attentionThe 70,000 men of the 2nd Thuringian Corps were like a huge plug blocking the narrow strip of land east of the province of Deshin, blocking the way of the Indean Corps.

Although the Indean Corps was not tasked with the main attack, but had to hold back the Thuringian Second Corps, and could not draw troops south to reinforce the garrisons in Huluo Province and Kerman Province, the Indean Corps could not advance half a step with superior forces, which still made Ying Jianming and Zhao Jianfeng feel humiliated.

The territory of Dessin Province is long and narrow, the terrain is inclined from west to east, it is also the only hilly area in the Indean region, along the border area of Pamme and Dsin is the Alborz Mountains, although it is not steep and steep, but it is a typical alpine forest zone, the forest is quite dense, the army wants to cross this area is quite difficult, the only gap is in the southeast plain zone, the Thuringian Second Corps is deployed in the southeast of the province in a semi-arc, and the reasonably configured hoplites are deployed in this area to form a fairly thick and solid defensive circle, and the Indean Corps encountered a strong resistance from the Thuringian Second Corps in this area。

The Indean Corps is making slow progress in the southeastern part of the province of Deshin, the Thuringian 2nd Corps has fought many battles with the Indean Corps here, the heavy cavalry of the Thuringian 2nd Corps has brought great damage to the Indean Corps, and the Indean Corps, which lacks hoplites, has not much to do in the face of the heavy cavalry charge in the plains, especially in this rather narrow area, Ying Jianming has also tried everything possible, but the Alborz Mountains to the north, the Cavill Salt Desert and the narrow Namak Lake to the south, it is quite difficult to get around, the Hansen Confederate Army also took a fancy to this point, so that the infantry advantage of the Indean Legion could not be brought into play.

Seeing the corps commander so angry, Zhao Jianfeng was also a little embarrassed, the first battle since the formation of the corps was like this, and he, as the deputy corps commander, also had a gloomy face, although Cui Shuai could not go south to reinforce the south as long as Cui Shuai asked to firmly attract the Thuringian Second Corps, but as a soldier, he must not use this mentality to satisfy himself, and winning and winning and fighting beautiful is the highest goal pursued by soldiers.

But at the moment, there is indeed no better countermeasure for the fierce heavy cavalry and light infantry of the other side in the plains, especially in this narrow area, the charge of the heavy cavalry is almost a mobile fortress, if you are simply defending, there may be a battle, but you have to take the initiative to attack, with the light infantry phalanx to shake the heavy cavalry, although Ying Jianming and Zhao Jianfeng are eager for victory, but they are not reckless to this point.

"Commander, the situation is not in our favor now, and if we continue like this, it will only cause us more unnecessary losses, this kind of terrain The hoplites of the Hansen Allied Army can maximize their might, we lack hoplites to counterbalance the opponent, my opinion is to maintain a certain level of pressure to force the enemy not to draw troops south, and we can send multiple detachments to infiltrate and infiltrate from the mountains of Alborz to see if we can find a way around this open area. Zhao Jianfeng tentatively put forward his own suggestion.

"Jianfeng, you should know the terrain of the Alborz Mountains, even if we find a path, it will be quite difficult for our army to cross it, the situation in Dexin Province is not the same as other provinces, the people here are deeply corrupted by the teachings of the Holy Spirit Sect, which means that the Hansen Alliance Army has more advantages in this land than us, even if we cross the Alborz Mountains, I am afraid that the enemy will already be waiting for us in the west side of the mountain. Although Ying Jianming was annoyed, he was not carried away by the anger, it was not his fault that he couldn't open the situation at the moment, his natural restraint of the troops and the unfavorable terrain made him want to let his soldiers die in vain for the sake of his own face, he was not so dirty.

Zhao Jianfeng lowered his head, he knew that Ying Jianming's opinion was correct, the two provinces of Sindh and Desin were the bases of the Holy Spirit Sect in the entire Indean region, and the Yakuan people here were not only the upper nobles who had converted to the Holy Spirit Sect, but also a considerable part of the middle and lower class people had also abandoned the Niye Sect and the Rohman Sect and converted to the Holy Spirit Sect, so their intelligence activities in these two regions were greatly restricted, on the contrary, those who had converted to the Holy Spirit Sect were willing to act as the eyes and ears of the Holy Spirit Sect and the Hansen Alliance。

"Then the corps commander, we can't just do nothing here, right?

"Jianfeng, some things are in a hurry, we have now completed the task assigned by Cui Shuai, dragging the second corps of Thuringia, I always feel that this time Cui Shuai's arrangement is still a little behind, for example, the two ranger regiments seem to have lost their news since they entered Milo Province from Pame, neither appeared on the Huluo battlefield, nor did they seem to hear that they were going to be sent to Kerman, so where are these 60,000 people going immediately, and let us change our light cavalry to the number and clothing of the first and second ranger regiments, and pretend to swim outside, there must be something strange in the middle, I am afraid that Cui Shuai is calculating who again。 I guess that this battle will not end so easily, and our Indean Corps is only afraid that there will still be a battle, and now that the situation is unfavorable, then we will have some strength left, as long as we drag the Thuringian Second Corps, don't really let us go into battle, we can't take it out. ”

Ying Jianming tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart, if he couldn't calm down even as a corps leader, then how could he ask his subordinates to maintain a peaceful state of mind? Ying Jianming didn't dare to say that he wanted to be in a state of mind that he was happy and happy about victory, but at least he had to be an outsider and a bystander to observe the current situation, not only the situation in Dexin Province, but even the situation in the entire Inde'an, and what role his army would play in this battle, he needed to determine.

Jiang Bin inspected the infantry phalanx of the Punjab Army with great interest and walked in front of the high platform with neat steps, Obola on the side was fully dressed and energetic, the two stood on the high platform with a solemn face, Jiang Bin was surprised with a little satisfaction, Obola was proud with infinite satisfaction, once upon a time, the Punjab Army was also able to conduct a military parade in the Tik territory that was once the master of the Punjab, no matter who controlled the Lahore Province, at least he could lead the Punjab Army to appear here, Ye represents that the commander of the Tang Army has regarded the Punjab Army as an eye-catching armyCompared with the chief instructor who trained this army, His Excellency Pauling, this kind of sobriety has made Obola very satisfied, at least the deputy commander of the Seventh Legion did not find fault with the shortcomings of his own army like Pauling, and even praised the morale of his own army twice.

Obola didn't know whether the other party was the polite words used by the Tang people or complimented himself in courtesy, but Obola still had a good impression of the polite general in front of him, it is said that this person in front of him was once the leader of the largest rebel force in the empire, and he also fought with His Majesty the Emperor, and was later surrendered by His Majesty the Emperor and finally submitted to His Majesty the Emperor, that is to say, this general is also a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, don't look at the ordinary appearance, and I heard that Weilai is also angry, these situations are all heard by Obola from General Huyanqiu, which also makes Obola have a little more respect for Jiang Bin。

Compared with Pauling, the actual founder of the Punjab New Army, Obola was more willing to follow Jiang Bin's orders, and Jiang Bin's encouraging tone gave Obola a sense of satisfaction. And although Pauling is very good at training, Obola is also quite admired in this regard, but Pauling often hangs on his lips a sentence that the Indrians will be good farmers, good workers, shrewd businessmen, and excellent artists, and the implication is that the Indians cannot be good soldiers, which makes Obola very dissatisfied.

He admits that there may be some gaps between the combat effectiveness of the Punjab New Army and the regular troops of the Tang Army, but after so long of hard training, as long as they are bathed in the baptism of war, Obola believes that the Punjab New Army can finally prove that they are not decorations, but a truly excellent army, and now it seems that such an opportunity has come.

"Lord Jiang, you haven't said what kind of battle our Punjab New Army will participate in, now that the main force of the Emperor [***] has launched an attack on Kerman and Huluo, if we don't follow up in time, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to pick a bone to gnaw, can we still have any battles to fight if we stay here?" Seeing a team of new troops striding past the review stand, Obola really couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, the other party had already told him not to be impatient, there would be arrangements at that time, but he was still a little impatient.
