Cui Wenxiu ignored the verbal fight between Helianbo and Bayinzhuo, his eyes were still on the map in front of him, the three ranger regiments dealt with the 60,000 light cavalry active between the Dodon and the Poole, and after taking some means to mobilize, the number of enemy light cavalry may decline, Cui Wenxiu believed that Bayinzhuo could complete this task, but the pressure on Helianbo's second army was indeed greater, once it was found that the two divisions were divided, both the Poolers and the Dodons knew what the consequences were, and regrouping was their only way out, and at this time, the main burden had to be borne by the infantry, the rangers can only play a role in cooperating, so although the second legion of Helianbo is a hoplite corps dominated by Gaoyue people, it has to face the impact of ironclad cavalry from two directions, and this burden may crush people if they are not careful.

The strength of the Duotun people is undoubtedly weaker, and it is absolutely certain that Cui Wenxiu will concentrate his forces to solve the Duodon people, but once he gathers heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Duodon people, if the Poole people see that the situation is not good, they may throw off the Duodon people and flee west to join the Kamans, and this phenomenon is also what Cui Wenxiu does not want to see, even if the Duodon people are annihilated and let the big fish of the Poole people join forces with the Kamans, then the next war may still drag on for a long time.
The Poole now have more than 300,000 troops, and it is quite difficult to eat them in one bite, but if they can solve the Poole people, the Dotun people will have nowhere to go, and even if they join up with the Japanese people, it will not have much impact on the battle situation, which is also the most crucial. On this issue, Choi Wen-so discussed many times with Helian Bo, Song Tianxiong, Kim Jong-yang, and Ying Jian-myung, and finally decided to deal with the Poole people first, and then free up their hands to clean up the Dodon people.
On January 28, 702 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, when there was only less than a week before the Tang Spring Festival, the most tragic cavalry battle broke out in history on the southern plain of Yunzhong, and the 90,000 rangers of the Tang Dynasty suddenly inserted into the narrow area of less than 60 miles between the Poole and the Duotun people, and conducted an unprecedented cavalry battle with the 30,000 Pooler light cavalry and more than 20,000 light cavalry gathered hereThe Datang Rangers, divided into three assault groups, took two assault groups as the main force of the attack, and the other assault group served as the flank encirclement and suppression troops, and the 50,000 light cavalry experienced a brutal six-hour bloody battle, and only less than 8,000 people escaped the doom, and the Datang Rangers also paid more than 20,000 losses.
This surprise attack of the Tang Rangers kicked off the prelude to the Eastern Front Campaign, followed by the Second Army surging like thunder, quickly cutting off the connection between the Poole and the Dodons, and the Third Army, the Ninth Army and the Thirteenth Army also quickly dispersed, immediately forming a huge long arc-shaped encirclement to firmly lock the Poole cluster that was caught off guard.
Schiller stared at the map in front of him motionless, as the commander of Poole's army, he had been paying close attention to the progress of the coalition army, and after the central army was defeated in the fierce battle under the city of Van Lin, he realized that the eastern front army led by him was going a little too fast, and it was obvious that the Tang people had a conspiracy in it.
A city of Verlin allowed the Kaman army to fight for a week without any noteworthy results, and while despising the Kaman people's external strength and ability, Schiller was also surprised by the Tang army's tenacious will to fight. The Kaman people gave up Jiama and Yulin and tried their best to attack Fanlin, and the army of more than 400,000 people could fill up the city of Fanlin even if they filled it with corpses, right?
And the Western Front Army does not seem to be very smooth, the Ganlan Fortress is like a wedge firmly on the throat of the Sithroes waving their army southward, so that the plan to show the Sithro's majesty is blocked, and bypassing the Ganlan Fortress to attack Yinchuan City is often harassed by the rangers protruding from the Ganlan Fortress, so that the Sithlos are always unable to launch an offensive smoothly, and pulling out the Ganlan Fortress has become the only choice for the Sithro. But no one would have thought that a small Ganlan fortress was actually made into a living iron nail by the Tang army, in order to pull out this nail, the Sithlos invested 300,000 troops to fight, a whole week, the Sithlos in the Ganlan fortress dropped no less than 80,000 corpses, such a tragic loss made the Sithlo people painful, and the final outcome was to let thousands of rangers escape from the fortress.
Although the battle of Ganlan Fortress did not hurt the vitality of the Sithroes, but 80,000 dead and tens of thousands of wounded still affected the next plan of the Sithroes, the defensive strength of Yinchuan Province is no less than that of Ganlan Fortress, if you want to let the Siathrow people pay or even exceed the price of attacking the Ganlan Fortress, the Sithlos are absolutely unwilling, and the Taixuanfu fortifications in the east are quite complete before Jiayuguan has not changed hands, and has always assumed the backbone role of resisting Siathrow and Kaman's southward movement, and there are still Tang Army rangers stationed on Jiayu Pass to attack and harass, and it is also impossible to easily take it, so that the Siathrow people are in a dilemma, not wanting to pay too much price, but also wanting to make a breakthrough, such the best of both worlds seems to be difficult to find.
Schiller doesn't know if the Siathrow people plan to make a desperate bet now, if the Siathrow people are bold enough, then they can get rid of Yinchuan and Taixuan, and directly attack Qingyang, taking Qingyang can not only shake the military heart of the Tang Dynasty but also cut off the connection between the Tang territory in the Central Continent and the Tang Dynasty itself, and now the Siathrow people seem to be hesitating, and so far they have not received a war report.
However, Schiller does not need to think about such distant matters now, and what he needs to deal with now is how to deal with the dilemma faced by the more than 300,000 troops he leads. Although he realized that he and the Dodon coalition army were going south a little too fast, especially the performance of Cloud Castle made him feel a little worried, but thinking about the fact that he and the Dodon coalition army were as many as more than 500,000, and the Tang army on the opposite side was even inferior to his own, he didn't expect to swallow the Tang army all at once, as long as he could drag the Tang army, and wait until the middle line Kaman people solved the Van Lin south, then he would be considered a success.
But he never thought that the Tang Army's appetite was so big, and he actually wanted to swallow the Eastern Route Army in one bite, when the Tang Army Rangers broke into the junction of the Poole Army and the Doton Army, he didn't even realize the Tang Army's intentions, until several Tang Army numbers appeared around him, he felt that the situation was a little unpleasant, but he still didn't believe that the Tang Army on the opposite side could eat his more than 300,000 troops, especially in the east of the Duoton Army of more than 200,000 miles away, and he only needed to advance eastward to join forces, more than 500,000 troops, Schiller never believed that he would not be able to support itγ
However, when the scouts confirmed the numbers of the Second Army and the Third Army of the Tang Army, Schiller was also a little worried, it is not surprising that the Ninth Army of the Tang Army has been stationed in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and the Thirteenth Army has also been transferred from Indean to Beiyuan with great fanfare, and it is also under consideration, the Third Army has been stationed in Zhongzhou, which is adapted from Li Wufeng's Praetorian Guard, which has strong combat effectiveness, and it is reasonable to be transferred to the north at a critical moment, but it is a little disturbing that the number of this second army also appears here. Although Schiller had never been in contact with this second corps, as the No. 1 hoplite corps of the Tang Army, it had always been the strongest shield against the Liberian hoplites.
The Tang Army severed its ties with the Duotun Army, and at this time it was this Second Tang Army that was standing between the two armies, so did the Tang Army want to divide and encircle each of them? But even if the Tang Army had this idea, it should have targeted the weaker Duotun people, and why did the scout's reconnaissance intelligence show that the Tang Army was carrying out a large-scale movement and was putting on a posture to encircle its own army? If the target was really itself, then where did the Tang Army rely on? Schiller did not believe that the Tang Army could eat itself with the current legions, and it was impossible for the Dodons to sit idly by. It is this problem that makes Schiller a bit of a dilemma, now the Tang army is moving from the north and south to the west, and its appearance is to build an encirclement, if he throws off the Dodon people and advances straight to the west, I believe that the Tang army will not be able to intercept himself, but in this way, it is possible to push more than 200,000 people of the Doton army into the tiger's mouth, and the more than 200,000 people of the Doton army will never be able to hold out in the face of the Tang army alone, which Schiller knows very well.
While Schiller, the commander of the Poole Army, was still hesitating about what kind of reaction he should make, the Tang Army was advancing rapidly according to the established plan, in addition to the Second Army Corps fully building fortifications to prepare for the upcoming fierce battle, the armies in charge of their respective tasks were also following quickly, and the Musketeers also joined the Second Army front, because in the upcoming battle, it would bear unprecedented defensive pressure. The 3rd Army Corps moved to the south, and the 3rd Heavy Cavalry Division and the Panzer Beast Corps also followed, and they will become the main force to finish the Poole Army together with the 3rd Army Corps, while the 9th Army Corps is moving westward with all its might, striving to complete the encirclement with the 13th Army Corps in the west as soon as possible, and completely wrap the entire Poole Army into a big dumpling.
