Section 93 Determination
readx;
Nick stared blankly at the battle report full of bitterness and heartache in front of him, and the time for it had finally come. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although he has never had the habit of regretting what has happened, this time Nick truly appreciates the cruelty of war, and Sanman's son is in ashes, just because of one of his own decisions.
It was only at this time that Nick realized that the purpose of sending troops to Liujiatun to seize this key point was actually the most stupid decision, and the purpose of seizing the key point was to ensure that the army went north, and if the army really made up its mind to go north, why not abandon the city decisively with the whole army at this time? This kind of two-stage approach was completely a compromise decision between his own desire to give up Qinghe and the Prime Minister's request to ensure Qinghe, but it was this decision that led to such serious consequences. Nick, who was left alone in the room, looked into the distance through the light mist drifting from the coffee cup, the rich aroma of coffee no longer appealed to him now, and the twitches tore at the depths of his heart, and the confusion on his face had not been seen in many years.
The gains and losses of Liujiatun are not important to Nick now, the important thing is that the loss of the 30,000 army is a big blow to the confidence and fighting spirit that has been built up with great difficulty, and the prime minister has repeatedly sent letters asking to ensure Qinghe, indicating that the domestic nobles have joined forces to force the prime minister to a situation where he cannot retreat, and he can only obey when he comes to this step. Military subordination to politics, as a veteran soldier, a military commander who controls the overall situation, Nick sees this more clearly than anyone else. Although he has always adhered to the principle of not doing anything in the army, he knows that in the empire, if it is not for the full support of the prime minister, once the nobles of the rat-eyed are in power, the army can only die on the kang head of mediocrity.
Anyway, since Li Wufeng helped him make this determination, he can only follow this path, but the loss of these 30,000 troops is really unacceptable, of course, there is Cherif's improper command and slackness of the enemy, but the main problem is his own decision-making mistakes, it would be good if he could have made up his mind from the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, it seems worthless, Nick sorted out his thoughts, and tried to restore himself to his original calm and peaceful state of mind.
"Well done, Jinchen, this time the Southern Jieluo Front finally took a bad breath for the people of the northwest, let Zhan Botao be fully responsible for the defense of Liujiatun and the surrounding areas, and lock the Kaman people firmly in the south of Liujiatun, I want to see where the seventy or eighty thousand people of Nick are fleeing, this is called closing the door and beating the dog!" Although it has been more than a day since he received the battle report, Wu Feng is still immersed in the joy of this key victory, after all, it is very important to be able to lock up Nick, who is regarded as an undefeated generation of Kaman people, in Qinghe, so that he will never be able to turn over.
"Your Highness, in fact, the subordinates in this battle are not as good as the performance praised by His Highness, and the subordinates of this Golden Peng Medal are somewhat deserved. As you said, Gomez was about to be forced to hang himself by the nobles in the Kaman Empire, and he could only barely cope with the pressure of the nobles by ordering the military to firmly hold the Qinghe River, which was also the key to the defeat of the Kamans in the first battle of Liujiatun. Bo Jinchen did not have the slightest arrogance on his face, in his own opinion, this was just a normal interception, but due to some external reasons, the trend of the two sides was affected, so that his side took the lead.
"If it weren't for Gomez's brutal interference in the army's tactical arrangement, his subordinates would probably want to completely abandon Qinghe Pinglu and return to Yulin to deploy according to Nick's own wishes, in that case, if Nick himself led the army back to the north, I think the outcome of this battle would be completely different. And once these 100,000 troops really return to Yulin, we will be much more passive in the battle ahead. ”
Bo Jinchen's words should be said to be in line with the real situation of this battle, but Wu Feng has his own considerations, Yinchuan and Qingyang were sacked by the Kamans for the Western Xinjiang regime and himself in terms of credibility and popular hearts are a big blow, he and the Western Xinjiang regime are in urgent need of a victory to recover the adverse effects, and the battle of Liujiatun is just in time for this opportunity, and in fact this battle does have a profound impact on the entire second phase of the campaign, so from all aspects, he must make the brilliant achievements of this battle known to all Western Xinjiang people。
"Jinchen, you don't have to be too humble, just because you can order the troops to take the first step, you deserve this Golden Peng Medal! If you give the Kamans an extra day or two, the Kamans can easily gain a foothold in Liujiatun, and our cavalry don't know how much more they will have to pay if they want to break through their defenses, and if you want to pull out this nail and close the door, our Western Frontier Army will at least lose less than the same price." And now that we have solved the enemy's 30,000 troops at the cost of less than 3,000 people, can it be said that the strength of a division of more than 20,000 people preserved by our Western Xinjiang Army is not worth a few Golden Peng Medals?!" Wu Feng leaned back in the chair seat and laughed loudly: "Jinchen, don't you have too many worries, do you think that just joining my Western Xinjiang camp and winning the first Golden Peng Medal of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate is a bit of a distraction? Hehe, just to make them red-eyed, have the ability to earn it by themselves, and if they don't have the ability, they just stay cool and go away! But you can rest assured of this, whether it is jealousy or red-eyed, my officers and soldiers in Western Xinjiang will definitely not bring their emotions into the war because of this, if this happens, I am afraid that his medal will not be hung on his chest, and the noose will be put on his head!"
Bo Jinchen smiled slightly bitterly, if he said that he had won such an honor, no one would be envious and jealous, then naturally no one would believe it, not to mention that he had only joined the Western Xinjiang and had been surrendered by the Taiping Army not long ago, even Zhan Botao, a general who had long been attached to the Western Xinjiang and whose family still had considerable influence in the northwest, won the third-class Jinpeng Medal, some people were not convinced, thinking that he was just lucky to catch up with this battle, and if he changed to someone else, he could also achieve such a result. However, Bo Jinchen, who had been in the Taiping Sect for a few days, was of course aware of the political significance of this battle, which was more important than the military significance, and it can be seen from Wu Feng's personal order to the Government Affairs Bureau to let the major newspapers and periodicals in Western Xinjiang immediately publish the details of Liujiatun's victory on the front page as soon as possible, and specially asked the Government Affairs Bureau to invite some reporters to come and interview the more than 10,000 captured Kaman prisoners. If he resigned, he would inevitably displease His Royal Highness King Qin, but he just pushed himself to such a high position, and he could only be more and more careful to be a man with his tail between his legs.
"Okay, Jinchen, I don't think we need to waste our energy on discussing this matter, you and their medal procedures are already being processed, I hope the efficiency of the people in the Military Affairs Department is not too low, let's focus more on the next stage of the war." With three army infantry divisions guarding Liujiatun and a Sixth Cavalry Regiment to assist, I don't think it's likely that Nick will be able to draw men and horses north from his limited forces, and now they will probably need to face the Kamans from the north, but the Kamans may not be able to organize an effective attack wave in the short term. Hello, let's think about the next step in our strategy, and in the evening you and I will attend the welcome and celebration banquet that Archduke Allen has prepared for us, and I think Archoduke Allen will be very interested in hearing about this idea. ”
Finally back to the topic, Wu Feng is also thinking about this problem, because of the locking of Nick's tens of thousands of troops in Qinghe Mansion, and his first army has also marched to Anyuan, the group of people of the Jieluo Defense Army, who were eager to recover Fan Lin, began to make noise again, and the word recovery has become the most heard word in Wu Feng's ears in the past two days, and even Anne, who accompanied him to visit and inspect Jie Luo, probably couldn't stand her father's persuasion, and made an exception to put down the shelf to beg herself to consider the possible surname of recovering Fan Lin.
To tell the truth, Wu Feng did not consider the possible surname of recovering Van Lin, recovering Van Lin can force the Kaman army in Yulin to automatically give up all the results of Kaman's southern expedition and return home, but there is Yulin in the east of Van Lin, and there is a guy named Mai Li in person, although there are only 50,000 soldiers, but according to intelligence, Van Lin City has been in the hands of the Kaman people for a period of time, its city defense facilities have been improved a lot, and the fall of Jiama has sounded the alarm for the Kaman people, and it will not be a good choice to choose this time to storm Van Lin?
Seeing Bo Jinchen's back, Wu Feng pondered for a while with a tired look before softly saying to Qin Shuangying, who had been massaging his head beside him, "Go and invite Duke Jacquelik to come in." ”
"You mean, Balins, they show signs of instability?" "Your eyes suddenly shining, and Wu Feng shook his head in disbelief, "Lord Duke, do you think they have a chance of success in doing this? unless they are crazy." ”
"Your Highness, you can't underestimate their latent forces, maybe they don't dare to do it now, but it doesn't mean that they won't dare in the future, Lan Meng is also quite enthusiastic with them now, I believe that the information provided to you by your intelligence officer will also confirm this. The look of humility on his face was as if he were in an audience with the king, and as the chief regent of the Duchy of Gerook, he knew very well that everything he had now was given by the young man sitting opposite him.
