Section 30 Surprise Attack

A wry smile slowly floated on Sun Yuanliang's face, Zhou Tinggui's worries were not his own concerns, he could see Zhou Tinggui's worries, but the current situation did not allow him to act rashly, with the rise of Li Wufeng in the northwest, this person was bold and reckless but old and insidious, and what he did did did not show the means of a young man in his twenties, which was even more worrying.

The intelligence officers quickly detected the movement of the troops in Yinchuan Province, and the army of Taixuan Province also carried out the regular movement according to my orders, so I put down a big stone in my heart, so that I could let go of the rebels in Guide and Bonan. All preparations are intensifying, and a big war is already imminent.

On October 29, I received a messenger from the Chin Mission in Qingyang who had come to announce my appointment and the order of rebellion. It turned out that the mission led by Situ Biao out of Yanjing was attacked by two groups of assassins in Jinzhong Mansion and Tianshui Mansion respectively, fortunately Situ Biao was also prepared for this mission, and there were a large number of personal guards accompanying him to protect, this is it, in the two attacks, Situ Biao's guards still paid a heavy price, six people were injured, two died, while strictly ordering the local security organs to investigate the matter, Situ Biao also knew the important surname of his mission, and did not dare to delay, and still marched according to the normal itinerary, but after arriving at Longdong Mansion, Situ Biao received information that the rebels had learned that the content of his mission to Qingyang had been scheduled, and was ready to carry out an ambush in Bonan Province, which forced Situ Biao and his entourage to stop in Longdong Mansion. For safety reasons, Situ Biao and his entourage finally decided to send a capable guard carrying the edict and the Northwest Military and Political Envoy Yin Xi disguised themselves to secretly pass through the rebel-controlled area of Bonan Province and infiltrate Qingyang, authorizing me to act cheaply after getting the edict.

I told my subordinates to bring the messenger down to rest, and I looked at the letter in my hand and the yellow silk edict and seal presented, and I felt indescribable emotion in my heart. The people who sent the assassins were able to accurately grasp the itinerary of the mission, and they didn't have to think about it and guess who was the mastermind.

Now that I have been authorized and the threat from Yinchuan Mansion has been temporarily eliminated, it is my turn to perform immediately.

I appointed Liang Chongxin as the commander-in-chief of the southern front and was responsible for the reconquest of Bonan Province, and appointed Choi Wenxiu as the commander-in-chief of the northern front to be in charge of the reconquest of Ducfu, with Mulig and Kamapov as their respective deputies. Before leaving, I explained the operational policy of the two of them for this campaign.

In view of the fact that the strength of our army is not strong at present, although I am sure that we can wipe out this group of rebel troops, I do not intend to fight hard with the rebel army. My army will be of greater use in the future, and I don't want to be consumed early in the battle against these rabble. I ask the two to treat the rebel army differently in the battle, and to give full play to the role of our army's intelligence system and the inner line of the Snow Mountain faction in the rebel army, which is mainly composed of peasants and slaves, and at the same time to launch a propaganda offensive as much as possible, as long as they lay down their weapons, no matter what means they adopt or agree to any conditions of the other side, and the part of the local underworld organizations that are entangled must be completely annihilated without mercy, and it is better to be able to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

Speaking of this, I subconsciously made a gesture to the two of them to kill everything, and the two of them also understood.

As for the part of the bandit organization mixed with other elements, I had a plan in mind, but I hesitated a little because the idea was a bit despicable, but after much thought, I decided that the two of them should follow my opinion.

"Chongxin, Wenxiu, what are you going to do with the rebellious army gathered by those bandit organizations?" I muttered for a long time before I spoke.

Both of them felt a little strange, and they must have completely annihilated this group of people, so as not to leave trouble, but since I asked like this, there must be a mystery in it, but neither of them could guess my thoughts.

"What do you mean, ......?" both eyes converged on my face, and I sighed in my heart, which I couldn't say.

Ling Tianfang, who was sitting on the side, saw that I was still unable to speak, so he had to cough and take over the topic, "This is my proposal, and I have also reported it to the adults, and the adults do not agree with it, but I think that in order for us to develop and grow better in the future, it is necessary to take some measures that seem a little less bright, such as the combat plan we will adopt this time." ”

Although I said a lot, I still didn't get into the topic, I resolutely interrupted Ling Tianfang's words, "This is my opinion, for those bandit organization forces, there is no need to push too hard in this battle, at the right time, you can give them a way to survive and drive them to the neighboring prefectures, as long as they are not on our territory." "I made a light statement about my decision, but I didn't explain why. I don't want to explain, so let them think for themselves if they have doubts.

The two of them also saw that I didn't want to say more, so they stood up knowingly: "Don't worry, my lord, we will do what you want." If you have no other instructions, we will take our leave. ”

I nodded, "Let's go back and rest early, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Only me and Ling Tianfang were left in the room, "Tianfang, don't you think our approach is a bit too despicable?"

"The amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, and driving these people to the surrounding neighboring prefectures and counties can not only prevent our main force from fighting them in a decisive battle, prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and reduce our losses, but the most important thing is to find a suitable excuse for our side to enter these places logically in the future. Ling Tianfang's voice was low but full of persuasion, "I'm afraid my lord's thoughts are not limited to the development of the northwest, although the northwest is vast and rich, but after all, it is a border land, whether it is the population or its economic development level, it cannot be compared with the Central Plains region and the places in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River have always been the hinterland of the East Continent, only with these two regions can you truly realize the dream in your heart." The northwest is just a place to lay the foundation, and if we want to have greater development, sooner or later we have to enter the road of the Central Plains, so we must also make all kinds of preparations as soon as possible. ”

I lay on my back on the comfortable big chair and didn't make a sound, there is another reason that Ling Tianfang didn't say, to drive these bandit forces to neighboring prefectures and counties, let them develop in these areas, can also consume the strength of these local garrison forces, if these bandit forces are defeated and absorbed by the garrison forces of neighboring prefectures and counties, it would be better, first, we have an internal line that can take the opportunity to blend into the garrison forces in these areas, and second, these bandits have been defeated by our army, so they will naturally have a fear of our army's combat effectiveness, if there is a battle with our army in the future, this fear will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of all these armies fighting with us。

Just as I was making every effort to arrange for the march into Guide and Bonan, the Macedhanate, the empire's southern neighbor, had already been ablaze.

There was a faint mist in the slightly humid air, like a wisp of light yarn floating in the air, everything seemed very peaceful and quiet, in the border section of the Kingdom of Demilo on the border with the Macedhanate, a small patrol of soldiers was bored along the road winding from the city of Keheng in the southwest of the Macedhanate to do routine patrols, the sky had just dawned, there were no pedestrians on the main road, merchants and travelers were not on the road at this time.

"Captain, why didn't you come across anything interesting today? I didn't even look at the figure. A soldier listlessly kicked a pebble on the side of the road as he asked the captain, who was also looking around in boredom.

"What do you want to see, beauty? beauty doesn't get up so early, only us hard-working people patrol here in the middle of the night. Alas, in the next life, let's not be a soldier, cast a good tire, let us also vote for the rich and noble, and enjoy it. The captain also replied weakly.

"Hey, Captain, it's really a bit evil today, why haven't you touched a single pedestrian on the road?" muttered to the soldier.

"Could it be the actions of the Mache Khans?" the other soldier was visibly wary.

"No, I heard from the above people that their diplomats only returned from us a few days ago, and this time they came to negotiate with us to resolve the relevant issues, and it is said that an understanding has been reached. Besides, if there is a problem, the above will also be vigilant, how can they send a few of us to do some routine patrols, I am afraid that the whole kingdom and neighboring countries will have to move. The captain worked hard to analyze the information he had obtained.

"Alas, don't fight, I just wanted to mix in the army, if there is a war, we all have to go to the front, there is a life to go, whether there is a life to come back, it is impossible to say. Another soldier hurriedly chimed in.

Suddenly the captain seemed to feel something, but was interrupted by the soldier's words and ignored it, he looked at several soldiers around him, and found that none of them reacted, whether he was nervous, but there was a slight tremor from the earth, which even a few soldiers also reacted, all their eyes looked at the edge of the northeast road, but if there was a mist in front of the eyes, there was always some confusion.

Puzzled glances passed from one to another, followed by a more pronounced tremor as some vague black shadows suddenly appeared on the edge of the horizon.

The captain's face suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled, and he jumped nervously, "Enemy cavalry! Run! Hurry back and report!"

As soon as his words fell, the dull sound of hooves gradually sounded, and piles of huge black shadows continued to emerge from the horizon, and the number was increasing, and the black shadows that appeared before had gradually become clear.

"It's too late!" the captain sat on the ground in despair, the number of enemies was so large that the entire horizon was now covered with black shadows, and it was all cavalry, and his two legs could not outrun the enemy's four legs in any way.

With the sound of thunderous iron hooves in the sky, bringing up the yellow dust in the sky, half of the sky in the entire north has turned brown and yellow, and a vermilion handsome flag fluttering in the wind is gradually displayed in the eyes of the captain, with an apricot yellow "Pu" word embroidered in the middle of it.

"Pu Tiancheng !!" As a warrior, Pu Tiancheng, who naturally knows the three major generals of his powerful neighbors, really did it.

The cavalry scattered all over the mountains swept over the empty fields like locusts, and the grain in the fields that had entered the late autumn season had already been harvested, which was the best battlefield for the cavalry. Before he could say anything, with the shaking of the sturdy horses and the dazzling blades, the fierce-faced and heavily armed horsemen of the Maqi Khan quickly approached, and immediately several patrolling soldiers of the Kingdom of Jemerlot were drowned in the swarming waves of the cavalry of the Maqi Khanate, and there was no trace of it.

In the early morning of October 22, 693 in the continental calendar, the Macedite Khanate, under the cover of the visit of its diplomatic mission, launched a surprise attack on its southwestern neighbors Ankun City and Jemelo Kingdom under the cover of the visit of its diplomatic mission.

On the night of October 22, the general of Zhenguo, Ya Ning, led an army of 100,000 to conquer Ankun City, and Count Lopez, the lord of Ankun City, led the entire city to surrender.

On October 23, Pu Tiancheng, the general of Dingguo, led an army of 100,000 to conquer Dingxiangcheng, a major town in the northeast of the Jemero Kingdom, and the Dingxiang defender Chiriki was killed in battle. Subsequently, Pu Tiancheng did not stop, and led part of the army led by Yaning who came to converge, and on October 25, he completed the siege of Jemei City, the capital of the Kingdom of Jemero, and launched a fierce siege battle.

On October 28, the army of the Macederan Khanate captured the city of Jemy, and the king of the kingdom of Jemero, Mantenis II, would rather die than give in and commit suicide. This is what later history called the famous "Babarosa Plan", and the meaning of the word "Babalosha" comes from the local language of the Maqi Khan, which means "surprise". This raid has also become a classic example of successful raids that the students of the [***] academies on the continent must learn in the future.

Pu Tiancheng felt his loyalty, so he treated his family well, moved his body and family members to Sanglin City, Biheli Khan personally presided over a grand burial ceremony for Mantenis II, Lei Juetian wrote an inscription for him. Except for the fifth daughter of Caymantenis, Princess Sophia, whose whereabouts are unknown due to her travels, the rest of the royal family members are stranded in Mulberry City, and the Kingdom of Jemerlot, which has been around for more than 300 years, has officially declared its demise.
