With the start of the battle of Wangjiatai, the entire northern Kamans controlled the area immediately set off a frenzy of raids. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 On October 15, 698 in the Gregorian calendar, on the second day after the battle of Wangjiataizi, a wing of cavalry of the Western Xinjiang Army swept away the two thousand-man Kaman infantry responsible for collecting grain and grass in the west of Qinghe Province, and wiped out more than 1,600 people in one fell swoop. At the same time, a wing of the Western Xinjiang cavalry in the eastern part of Yulin Province once again attacked the two 1,000-strong Kaman infantry who were responsible for collecting and escorting grain and grass, and the 2,000 infantry fought to the death and did not retreat, and finally survived with the help of the Kaman cavalry who came to them, but still paid nearly 1,000 casualties.

On October 17, the 2nd Division of the Southern Gerok Regiment of the Western Frontier Army attacked a temporary grain storage point of the Kaman people in the central and southern region of North Jieluo, where the Kamen stationed 15,000 people, and later received reinforcements of 5,000 people, and the two sides fought fiercely in the local area, and finally the Second Army Corps failed to achieve the goal of burning the opponent's grain hoard, but successfully surrounded and annihilated 4,000 people, and eliminated the Kaman army to more than 4,000 people. On October 20th, the 1st Division of the Southern Terok Regiment and the Imperial Dispatch Division joined forces to attack, and in the south of the Jiama area, two Kaman troops and 5,000 Kaman heavy cavalry who came to escort and escort the collected grain, the two sides fought fiercely for a day, and both paid a heavy price, and the Southern Gerok Front successfully destroyed the attempt of the Kamans to transport the grain and grass collected from the south of Jiama back to Jiama City at the cost of up to 12,000 casualties, and burned all 100,000 stone of grain, and the Kamans also paid more than 5,000 casualties in order to save this batch of grain. The same thing happened in Pinglu, and on October 19, the 1st Division of the 3rd Army made a sortie in the eastern part of Pinglu, crushing a 10,000-man Kaman squad responsible for transporting grain and grass, and annihilating more than 3,000 enemy troops.

And these battles are only a few influential battles in the entire northern theater of operations, and countless smaller ones are happening almost every day, according to Bo Jinchen's order, the entire Southern Terok Regiment will separate the cavalry and form several sabotage detachments, but the Jian system is not disrupted, all enter the northern region, the commander is in direct contact with the personnel of the local intelligence organization, and the commander of the sabotage detachment decides whether he can launch an attack or not, and if he finds that the enemy is strong, he can choose to ask for reinforcements and abandon the attack, everything is determined by the actual situation。

Because the field commander has the right to dispose of the situation flexibly and mobilely, most of the countless sabotage battles ended with the victory of the Western Xinjiang Army, and the Kamans lacked a solid grassroots political foundation in the northern region and could not obtain accurate intelligence information, and each time a slightly larger amount of grain collection and escort had to mobilize troops to escort and escort, this situation was particularly prominent in Yulin, Qinghe and Pinglu, and this provided a large number of fighters for the sabotage detachment. A series of defeats made the Kaman people also deeply taste the taste of being overstretched, the number of troops sent is enough, and the people and money are lost, and the Western Xinjiang Army does not come at all, if it is a little weaker, it will immediately attract the siege of the Western Xinjiang Army, this taste is really annoying, and the cavalry that has come and gone without a trace is like a fish in water in this northern plain, although the Kaman side also sent light cavalry as an encirclement and suppression team, but with little effect, the Western Xinjiang light cavalry was originally better than the Kaman side in terms of quality, and the Kaman people lacked an effective intelligence network, fighting in the northern plains, without extremely solid intelligence information as a backing, it was impossible to achieve any effect at all。

With a "bang", the teacup on the table jumped an inch high, the splash of water in the water cup fell on the table, and even a few documents were splashed wet, the two columns of solemn officers under the desk were silent, and the rosy face of the white-haired general behind the desk was a little distorted because of anger: "What the hell is Nick doing again? Doesn't he dare to send out the second batch of grain after being attacked once? Doesn't he know that there are still 70,000 soldiers in Jiayuguan and North Terok who are still waiting for the grain to be put into the pot?!"

All the generals under his command have their heads down, and it has been a long time since they have seen the always kind and calm Marshal Miley make such a big fire, and directly pointed the finger at another big giant in the emperor [***] - Marshal Nick. Nick and Miley are faintly the two leaders of the emperor's [***] side, and the generals in the army system are naturally divided into two factions, but the good personal relationship between the two makes the two factions never contradict each other because of the war.

Originally, there was only one corps of the Seventh Corps in the entire Jiayuguan and the North Terok garrison, and the 30,000 troops in Jiayu Pass were guarded by Dominica, while the remaining 40,000 troops needed to guard the entire North Terok region, and all this was to concentrate troops on the southern expedition. But now that the southern expedition has come to a standstill, the results of the battle can be regarded as a bright spot worth showing off, the occupation of Qinghe and Pinglu is equivalent to opening a big hole in the chest of the Tanghe people, and Black Mountain and Longquan have directly stabbed the dagger into the waist ribs of the Tanghe Empire, and there is a cloud controlled by the Poole people in the east.

But all these wonderful prospects have been changed by this sudden great drought, the food supply has been completely stopped within the empire, a small part is raised by the North Gerok, and most of the rest can only be provided by the Southern Expeditionary Front led by Nick, with a single corps to bear such a long front, especially when the army gathered in the South Gerok reaches a record of more than 200,000 people, Rao is experienced in a hundred battles and swaying freely feels the pressure on his shoulders, except for the 30,000 people on the Jiayu Pass, 40,000 people have to hold the two areas of Fanlin and Jiama, especially the occupied areas that have not yet been fully naturalizedOnce the Nangerok side attacked with all its might, it would be impossible to take care of these two places with 40,000 men in his hands, which Miley knew very well.

But this is not what Miley is most worried about, what makes Miley the most is the food problem, the grain transported to Van Lin was actually ambushed outside Yulin City, and a thousand truckloads of grain turned into ashes, which made Miley extremely annoyed, but this is within the jurisdiction of Nick, he can't ask too much, so he can only urge the other party to restart the grain as soon as possible. The food in the army has been exhausted, and the Western Xinjiang Army is active in the southern part of the Jiama and Fanlin regions, and Mai Li, who is already seriously short of troops, does not dare to take any more risks, especially the two grain requisitions have been frantically intercepted by the Western Xinjiang Army, which makes Mai Li have a headache, but he is helpless, he no longer dares to send a large army to transport grain and grass, once intercepted by the Western Xinjiang Army, a vicious battle regardless of losses is enough to exhaust the weight in his hands, and he has no capital to fight with the Western Xinjiang Army. But food is indispensable, Jiayuguan has already reported twice, the grain has run out, if you don't send grain again, I'm afraid that without the Tanghe people attacking, Jiayuguan itself will announce that it will not be defended.

In this case, Miley had to send the only surplus grain in the army to Jiayuguan, but now there was no grain in his army, and he had to forcibly collect it in the two cities of Jiama and Fanlin, and the hostility of the people in the two cities was high, in Miley's own words, this was to drink to quench his thirst, and the little popular support that had been built up with great difficulty was destroyed at once, and the damage was easy to make up, and it was even more difficult to win back the already limited support of these people. But until now, there has been no movement in the grain delivery of the eastern and southern expeditionary army, and this batch of grain collected at the cost of losing the hearts of the people can only last for ten days, which does not make Miley anxious and angry.

"Marshal, maybe Marshal Nick is thinking about how to transport the second batch of food security, now the Tanghe people are very rampant and have gone deep into the interior to harass and attack, the Western Xinjiang Army has been supplemented by nomadic cavalry, and its strength has been greatly enhanced, to be honest, our light cavalry may have difficulty gaining the upper hand in combat effectiveness. Seeing that the generals and staff officers were all cowering and did not dare to talk, the middle-aged armored officer who was the first person on the right licked his lips and had the courage to speak.

"Hmph, because we choke on food, are we afraid that the enemy will ambush and intercept us, so we won't transport food? Has he considered our situation? Without food, what can we use to feed the soldiers? He is a full man, but he doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry. Miley snorted coldly and tilted his head slightly, "Hmph, Ferdinand, you seem to be quite self-aware when you speak, now our light cavalry is not unable to gain the upper hand, but is already at an absolute disadvantage, whether in terms of horsepower or soldier quality, in terms of light cavalry, we have fallen behind Li Wufeng's army." ”

Miley took a few deep breaths, perhaps sensing his gaffe in front of his subordinates, Miley picked up the teacup and swallowed a big sip of tea, barely calming down, he hadn't felt like this for a long time. The Prime Minister has made it clear that due to the shortage of food in the country, it is unlikely that he will be able to supply a grain to the Seventh Corps and the Southern Expeditionary Army until the end of the year, and from the letter, Mailey can also feel the heaviness of the Prime Minister's mood, and Mailey has no other way than to sigh, unless he lets him learn from Nick to collect and loot in the Northern Terok, otherwise even with the support of the Southern Expeditionary Army, I am afraid that the Northern Terok side will not be able to maintain the harvest until next summer.
