After a few steps, Claudia and her colleagues pulled a little distance to catch up with the coach who was silently moving forward.
Since the loss of Jiama, the situation of the southern expeditionary army is quite bad, from Pinglu to Yulin, and then north to the first town in the south of the Kaman Empire---- Yabin City, thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, and now it is winter leisure, this vast land has become the best hunting place for the rangers of the Western Xinjiang Army, the nomadic cavalry who come and go like the wind fully demonstrates their unrivaled mobility ability, attacking the city, raiding and invading, and giving full play to the special surname of the nomadic cavalry, they rely on Jiama and Merrington as a base, and frequently attack in the north and east, especially to the north, the entire southern region of the Kaman Empire is crying under the iron hooves of the nomadic cavalry.
Miley and Claudia both deeply felt the pressure from the country, and the Prime Minister, who never interfered with the specific war arrangements of the military, also made an exception and sent three letters in succession asking the military to crack the offensive of the Tang River people as soon as possible and ensure the stability of the southern region.
Fortunately, the logistical problem has been solved under the full support of the prime minister, but in order to prevent the attack of the cavalry in the western Xinjiang, the baggage team transporting logistics grain and grass had to make a detour to send a large number of escort troops, which not only greatly extended the transportation distance, but also made the escort troops tired.
"Dashuai, I'm afraid we can't go on like this, the Tanghe people are so harassing and invading us, we can't find a practical and effective way to fight back, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the prime minister to convince the public in the domestic court, especially those nobles, every time they make noise in front of His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty's ears are soft, I'm afraid that our southern expedition this time will be in vain, and it will be difficult for the Prime Minister to give a satisfactory explanation to His Majesty the Emperor." Immediately behind Miley, Claudia said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid we'll have to come up with a way to deal with it, and we can't let the enemy be so arrogant."
Slow down, how can Miley not know the danger and pressure involved, the southern aristocracy has always been the prime minister of Gomez and the only supporter of the military's southern expedition, and now they have not reaped the benefits but the foundation has been damaged, it is difficult to say what kind of reaction they will haveand came up with a unified opinion.
"It was indeed a big mistake for Li Wufeng to get the help of these nomads on the Tengger steppe, when Li Wufeng went west to Tengger, we still had the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and only now do I realize how short-sighted our decision was at that time, and let Li Wufeng control the Mott, Tubu and Qiuer people in one fell swoop! If we had been able to help those nomads when Li Wufeng was on his expedition to Tengger in the west, and attack the northwest from the south of Jiayu Pass, Li Wufeng would not have achieved such great results, and we would not have become so passive now." Some emotion mixed with regret shook his head and sighed, he and Nick had also discussed this issue at the beginning, but never had a clear opinion, even Miley himself had to admit that he was indeed more inclined to let the two sides fight and lose at that time, but he didn't expect Li Wufeng's means to be so superb that he was able to defeat the Mott and Luope people in one fell swoop, so as to become the overlord of the East Tengger Grassland at once, and Li Wufeng, who had obtained the power to control the nomadic cavalry, was even more powerful, giving full play to the special surname and advantages of the nomadic cavalry, and also letting his side suffer a lot.
"But at the beginning, we were not optimistic about Li Wufeng, Li Wufeng went on an expedition, and he went deep into the Tengger grassland, no matter from which aspect, the nomads took advantage of the right time and place, but they were beaten by Li Wufeng, who would have expected such an outcome, who would have believed it?" Claudia was also deeply touched, even the Sithlos had pretended to support those nomads, although it didn't play a big role, but at least the Sithlos were able to realize that the nomads were not Li Wufeng's opponents, but their own side was still full of confidence and expected that the two sides could fight to the death, who would have thought that the battle would be one-sided? Who would have thought that Li Wufeng would even be able to join forces with the Chidi people on the West Tengger Grassland to flank the Luope? This can only show that the intelligence agencies on their side regard Li Wufeng, a colorful tiger, as an ordinary jackal, and greatly underestimate Li Wufeng's personal ability and the strength he possesses.
"It's too late to regret it, Li Wufeng's climate has become a climate, he is no longer satisfied with the situation of confronting and coexisting with us in the past, but wants to find ways to weaken our strength, so that we lose the ability to confront him, look at his current methods, there was only one Ranger Regiment deployed in Gerok at the beginning, and now according to our intelligence, at least three Ranger regiments or more have entered the southern part of the empire and our activities in the occupied area of the Tang River people, three Ranger regiments! That's nearly 100,000 people, and Li Wufeng is using these nomadic cavalry to completely drag us down." More than 100,000 cavalry wandered around the southern region of the empire like locusts, burning and looting, he didn't know whether this was Li Wufeng's order or the relapse of those nomadic cavalry, but this phenomenon rarely appeared in Li Wufeng's army who had been committed to establishing an image of benevolence and righteousness.
"Li Wufeng wants to drag us across, but his subordinates guess that his ultimate goal is not just to fight us to defeat us, even if he has this idea, it should be after he seizes control of the entire Tang River Empire.
Claudia's far-reaching strategic vision makes the depressed Miley feel great, and it is most gratifying to have such a junior who has gradually matured and has the ability to take charge of himself, especially after experiencing a series of recent war failures, Miley even feels like he has suddenly aged a lot, he doesn't know if his old colleague Nick feels this way, but he does feel that his body and mind need a period of time to recuperate and adjust, of course, this is after solving the current predicament.
"Well, your opinion is very reasonable, now the power struggle within the Tang River Empire has entered the final showdown stage, Situ Tai looks more like the winner, but the Tang River people have always liked Taoguang Yanghui, maybe that Situ Biao in the south also has some hidden strength, but in my opinion, Li Wufeng will be the final winner in this tug-of-war. The way of thinking of the Tang River people is not quite the same as that of our nation, when there are some strange celestial phenomena, their people will think that this is a portent, especially when the political situation is turbulent, they will think that this may be a sign of a change of dynasty, it is a reminder from GodLast year, there was a drought in the entire Eastern Continent, such a large-scale drought, in the words of the common people of the Tanghe people, this is the heavens punishing the superiors for their immorality, and this is often the harbinger of their emperor's resignation, Li Wufeng will not be willing to be lonely in this battle, he will definitely throw himself into this turmoil without hesitation.” Speaking of this, Miley, who has always been moody, couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"The marshal is right, as long as we can survive this time, Li Wufeng's offensive will naturally slow down, the nomadic cavalry is not an iron man, they also need to be repaired, now that our logistics have been greatly improved, we should be able to take some means to fight back against Li Wufeng!" Claudia's words were also carefully considered, and he also did quite a lot of research on some of the strategic deployments of the Western Xinjiang Army, trying to find out the weaknesses of the other side and fight back.
"Oh, what better way do you have to defuse the current crisis?" Miley was overjoyed, and went straight to the point, although he also had some ideas of his own, and he also wanted to study the abilities of his nephew, who had gained a reputation among the young generation of the military.
"The idea of the subordinates is very simple, although our light cavalry is similar to Li Wufeng's rangers in terms of combat effectiveness, but the difference in number is too great, especially in the plains, we can't compete with them, they can gather superior forces in a very short period of time to concentrate on annihilating us, so the opinion of the subordinates is to withdraw our light cavalry from this area, take the way of clearing the wilderness, and stick to it, and at the same time suggest that the big households in the southern region unite to rely on the original castle fortress to establish various types of dock forts to reduce the damage of the western cavalry to us, no matter how the western cavalry is, they need to pay time and considerable cost to conquer the dock fortAt the moment we can only respond in this passive form."
"It's as simple as that?" Miley was a little disappointed, he couldn't believe that the person he valued thought about it so easily.
