Chapter 1222: Confrontation

readx;? Chapter 1222 Attack

The duties of the gendarmerie are mainly to maintain military discipline and to try and punish soldiers who do not abide by military rules and discipline in accordance with the law, but there is no clear stipulation on the level of generals that the gendarmerie can impeach at the highest level. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, Shi Xiao's military rank is too high, he is General Wei, and he is the emperor's own title, even if Shangguan Xiu wants to move him, he has to carefully consider it, and secondly, Shi Xiao did not violate military regulations and military discipline, he just made a mistake in command, which has nothing to do with military regulations and military discipline, so it is not legal for the gendarmerie to impeach him.

In this matter, the gendarmerie is indeed at fault, and Shangguan Xiu wants to exonerate the gendarmerie, but he can't find a suitable reason. However, Shangguan Xiu was very witty and couldn't excuse the gendarmerie, so he found fault with Shi Xiao. At this time, Shangguan Xiu's talent and quick thinking were fully revealed.

He noticed the details that no one else had noticed, and the fault of this inspection was not small, and it was not an exaggeration to blame it on the main cause of Zio's fiasco.

Shi Xiao sweated like rain, he subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and stammered: Luo ...... General Luo took over as commander-in-chief, and he ...... He didn't find the problem either......

How did General Wei know that General Luo hadn't found out? I had just arrived in Duki, why did General Wei think I had noticed this problem? In other words, he was able to notice this problem through Luo Ren's reminder to him.

Hearing this, Luo Ren's old face turned red, and he secretly said ashamed.

Shi Xiao has nothing to say, if Luo Ren did not make it, then the fault is only on him and Sheng Zhai, but Sheng Zhai has already died, if he has to pull Sheng Zhai up, he has to press a crime on the head of the veteran who died of illness, this practice is too shameful, and he will not be able to stay in the army in the future.

After thinking about it, Shi Xiao sighed secretly, raised his head, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and said weakly: Weichen knows his mistake, the gendarmerie impeached Weichen, Weichen has nothing to say, he is convinced, please forgive His Highness.

This is exactly what Shangguan Xiu wants to hear, as long as Shi Xiao no longer pursues it, the matter can be diluted. He nodded and said: During this time, General Wei worked hard for the army, and indeed he was tired, so go back and rest for a few days, recuperate enough, and then fight for the country!

Shi Xiao respectfully knelt on his knees, bowed his head forward, and then stood up and walked out of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion with his head down.

After Shi Xiao left, he and Ziyin hurriedly said: Your Highness, your subordinates......

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand, interrupted the two of them, and said: This matter is over, if you cause trouble in the future, I will not help you two clean it up.

Yes, Your Highness!

Luo Ren and Nie Zhen stepped forward and asked with a frown: Your Highness, the supply of the Ningnan Army......

What do you guys think?

Both of their eyes fell on the Duji map. To the west of Duki is the defense line of the Wind Army, which cuts off the connection between Duki and Ningnan proper; to the south of Duki, is the Ningjun of the Wind Country, and it is impossible for the Ningnan people to transport material supplies to Duki through the Wind Country; to the east of Duki, is the North County of the Wind Country, which is farther away from Ningnan, and it is even more impossible to become a springboard for the Ningnan people to transport supplies, so only the north of Duki is left.

To the north of Dookie, more than half of the territory is adjacent to the Solan city-state of West Oren, and the city-state of Solan has long taken refuge in the Wind Country, and will not secretly help the Ningnan people to send supplies to Dookie, and the last thing left is Ekita to the west of West Oren.

The Ekita region is the territory of the city-state of Volo, which is not a large city-state in size, but it is divided into small and weak city-states, and one of the reasons is that it is underpopulated.

The population of the Solan city-state is 10 million, while the population of the city-state of Volo is only about one million, and it is also a city-state in the west of Besa, and the territory is comparable, but the city-state of Volo can only respect the city-state of Solan as the leader, and the reason is also in the population.

After carefully looking at all the areas around Dookie, Luo Ren and Nie Zhen's eyes invariably fell on the junction of Douky and Ekita.

Luo Ren strode to the front of the map, picked up a baton, and said on the map: It's Ekita!

Shangguan Xiu looked at Luo Ren with a smile and asked, "Why is Ah Ren so sure of the city-state of Woluo?"

Luo Ren said: In the west of Besa, the territory can be comparable to the Solan city-state, only the Volo city-state, although the Volo city-state is ostensibly subservient to the Solan city-state, but the ambition of the Volo city-state has never been small, and the Solan city-state has always regarded the Volo city-state as a fierce enemy. If the city-state of Volo wants to survive and does not want to be subservient to people forever, it can only rely on external forces to contend with the city-state of Solan. The patron of the city-state of Solan is our country, so ......

Then the city-state of Volo is likely to find the people of Ningnan as a backer, this time, the city-state of Volo is willing to act as a springboard for Ningnan, and let the people of Ningnan secretly deliver materials to Duki through Ekita, which is the manifestation of the city-state of Volo's surrender! Nie Zhen was thorough at one point, and instead of Luo Ren, he finished the following words.

After listening to the analysis of the two of them, Shangguan Xiu smiled, turned his head and said: Morning!

Zhao Chen stepped forward quickly, bowed down and said, "Brother Xiu!"

Send someone to infiltrate the city-state of Volo and carefully investigate if there are any caravans of the Ninnan who regularly enter and leave the border between Ekita and Duki. By the way, the caravan doesn't have to be Ningnan, it may be the caravan of the city-state of Volo, or the caravan of Duki. Shangguan Xiu pondered and said.

Zhao Chen nodded and replied: "Understood! Brother Xiu, my subordinates will start to send someone to investigate.

Luo Ren asked: If it is indeed the city-state of Voro that is secretly helping the people of Ningnan, then we ......

We will crush this city-state of Volo, which does not know whether to live or die. The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth were raised, and he smiled, but his tone was cold and indifferent. A city-state with a population of only one million is not much stronger than an ant in his eyes.

On the third day of Shangguanxiu's arrival in Massala, the 4th and 5th Corps of the Zhenjun Army launched a tentative attack on the positions of the Ningnan Army.

If the resistance of the Ningnan army is not strong, the wind army will take the opportunity to break through the defense line of the Ningnan army and push it back, if the resistance of the Ningnan army is fierce, and their own side will not take too much advantage, then they will retreat back in time and do not have to fight with the Ningnan army.

The attacks of the Fourth and Fifth Army Corps were launched from the north and south of the two armies' fronts, respectively. Shangguan Xiu joined the battle with the Fifth Legion.

The Fifth Legion, from top to bottom, has never been on the battlefield of the National War, and Shangguan Xiu is also a little uneasy about the first battle of the Fifth Legion.

The southern front is a relatively peaceful front, there has been no large-scale fighting between the two sides, and the distance between the two sides of the trenches is also relatively far, and the nearest trench is also about 100 meters between them.

When Cai Huang made the pre-war deployment, Shangguan Xiu was present, and the two deputy commanders of the Fifth Army, Shi Xi and Guanying, as well as the three army commanders, were also present. Cai Huang pointed to the map of the defense lines of both sides and said: On the opposite side of our army is the Eighth Army of the Ningnan Army. In the siege of Masala, the Eighth Army was the main force of the Ningnan Army, and the casualties were not small, and now the battleable army should be between 60,000 and 70,000.

The generals nodded their heads again and again.

Cai Huang said: Wenzhong!

Wen Zhong was the commander of the First Army of the Fifth Army Corps, and had the Second, Third, and Fourth Corps under his command.

Your army is fighting in the middle of the road, which is not only the first team of the battle, but also the main attack!

The last will obey!

Your army fought on the upper road and responded to the first army on the middle road. The last general obeyed the order! Xiao Zheng! The last general obeyed! Your army fought on the lower road, and it also had to deal with the first army fighting in the middle road. The last will obey!

In this battle, our army is both a feint attack and a real attack, do all the generals understand what I mean? The last general understands! Okay, all the generals go back to prepare, and in this battle, our army must beat the Ningnan people back to their original form!

Cai Huang's deployment is to break forward in the middle lane, the upper and lower roads will respond later, and the three roads will advance, even if the three roads will break through separately, they can also respond to each other, which is a typical trident tactic.

Shangguan Xiu didn't have any opinion on Cai Huang's tactics, and even if he had an opinion, he wouldn't say it. It is true that he is a great general, but he must also give the regiment commander a minimum of respect and trust.

If a corps commander wants to grow up, he does not rely on the guidance of others, but on his own continuous exploration, summarization and correction in actual combat.

Of course, this process is very bloody, and it is exchanged for the blood of countless soldiers, and it is the same reason that once you become famous, you will have ten thousand bones.

A commander can stand on a high point, and what he is stepping on is definitely not a mountain, but the white bones of thousands of his own soldiers and enemy soldiers.

The cultivation of soldiers depends on sweat, and the cultivation of commanders depends on blood and tears.

The horn of the attack sounded, and the artillery of the Fifth Army launched a salvo.

The soldiers of the Fifth Legion sat in the trenches, and the sky they saw was a stream of fire passing over their heads. The flames smashed into the position of the Ningnan army on the opposite side, and a deafening explosion rang out in a string.

Sitting in the trenches, you can't see what the opposite position has become, but you can clearly feel the ground trembling violently and incessantly, and the sand and soil on the top of both sides of the trench are flowing downward.

At this time, not to mention that the nerves of the soldiers were tense to the extreme, even the middle and high-level generals had their hearts raised to their throats. People's fists kept clenching, loosening, and then rubbing against their bodies repeatedly, wiping off the sweat of their palms.

Once the artillery bombardment of the wind army unfolded, it was almost as if it were endless, carpeting the enemy positions.

Boom -

The loud sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shook suddenly, and even if they shrank in the trenches, people could see that the sky was red on the side of the Ningnan army's camp.

A company commander planted his helmet, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the soldiers around him: It sounds like the forward ammunition depot of the Ningnan people has been blown up!

When the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other with white cheeks, but none of them spoke.

From such a distance, you can feel the heat wave surging overhead, and it is not difficult to imagine that the people near the ammunition depot may be burned to ashes on the spot, and people have no sense of excitement, only heartfelt happiness, glad that they are not there.

A round black iron ball with green smoke suddenly fell into the trench, and the company commander who was wiping his sweat saw this and screamed: "Shell! It's an enemy shell......

Before he could finish his sentence, the shells exploded in the trenches. A fireball rose into the air in the trench, dusty and obscured the sky.

There were soldiers who were dizzy from the explosion, and they got up from the ground tremblingly, but they didn't realize what was going on, and the projectiles flying from the opposite side pierced his head.

They all lay down, and they were not allowed to stand up, and no one was allowed to stand up -- the company commander dragged the soldiers who stood up to the ground with a crawl.

Next, the artillery return fire of the Ningnan Army finally came. In the position of the Ningnan people, the number of artillery is not much less than that of the Feng army, and the ammunition is even more sufficient.

The artillery of the wind army could not hit the main position of the artillery of the Ningnan army, and similarly, the artillery of the Ningnan army could not hit the main position of the artillery of the wind army.
