readx;
The Eastern Crusade Army soon incorporated all the troops of the Western Army and the Forbidden Army, and at the same time divided the lands of both sides under its rule. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoMarshal Gamudi has tasted the sweetness of a good relationship with the Shouyang territory, and he naturally has to make full use of it.
After consulting with the officials of the Shouyang Army who were sitting in the Flailan Pass, Gamudi also donated 100,000 head of livestock to the Shouyang Domain every year for use, as well as 300,000 furs, while the Shouyang Territory fully supported their trade activities, and provided at least 10,000 tons of wheat bran and rice husks for the Chagatai Khanate every year for fodder, and the Shouyang Territory also funded the construction of a road through the whole country for the Chagatai Khanate to facilitate the transportation of large quantities of goods.
The Northern Plains Army soon got an agreement between the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the Shouyang Territory, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army has become more and more prosperous over the years, and the commander of the Northern Plains Army, Nero, is also quite greedy, and now he hears that the two sides have such more favorable conditions, and he can't help it anymore.
Nero didn't have much ambition in the first place, otherwise the Northern Plains Army under his command would not have become the smallest of the major forces of the Chagatai Khanate. Now that the allies have won, there are only two of them left in the entire khanate, and even if Gamudi misses the alliance between the two sides and will not think anything about him, it doesn't make much sense for him to support him.
For Nero, who had no ambitions, it was enough to live comfortably and richly, and he didn't care who was in charge of the military. Therefore, Marshal Nero, the commander of the Northern Plains Army, soon sent his cronies to contact Marshal Gamudi, saying that the Northern Plains Army was willing to be incorporated into the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but hoped to receive the same preferential trade treatment.
Marshal Gamudi had no intention of attacking his allies, after all, among the Chagatai people, it was a very despicable thing to sneak attack on former allies. Now Nero is so up-to-the-ground that he took the initiative to come over and ask for a merger, which made Marshal Gamudi ecstatic, and he immediately expressed his willingness to accept the Northern Plains Army, and at the same time, Marshal Nero will enjoy the true glory and wealth as the national teacher of the new khanate.
In this way, the Northern Plains Army was incorporated into the new Chagatai Khanate without any danger, and Marshal Gamudi also became the new Great Khan as he wished. After the integration of the entire state forces, the state situation of the Chagatai Khanate was greatly improved, and the number of standing armies increased to one million.
Due to the extension of the road, commercial activities began to develop in various parts of the grassland, and the cultivation of high-quality pasture grass and the import of fodder also made the survival rate and fat growth rate of livestock much faster, and among the herdsmen who began to become rich, the hostility towards the farming people was greatly reduced, and they were quickly integrated into the system of the Shouyang territory.
Of course, these are all later words, just when Marshal Gamudi's army was besieging the royal city, Fang Ruitao also began to act at the same time.
In this attack, Fang Ruitao can be described as elite. The troops, equipped with a large number of carriages to carry heavy baggage and heavy weapons, were able to advance quickly, and before the other side could react, the army had already left the Snow Wolf Pass for fifty miles, and the front of the troops was directly towards Kun Gong City.
After abandoning the city at the beginning, the re-stationed Durant army thought that they had picked up a big bargain, they made a detailed investigation of the defense system built in the city, and prepared to carry out the transformation of the city wall throughout the country, but before they could implement this project, Fang Ruitao's attack was launched here.
Hearing the news of the approaching army, the two legions stationed in Kun Gong City believed that such a small city was not enough to defend against the attack of the Shouyang army. With the cavalry advantage of the Durrant Empire, it is better for them to defend the city with a small number of troops, and the large army is mainly based on guerrilla warfare, trying their best to harass the other party, delaying the attack speed of the Shouyang army, and providing convenience for the follow-up reinforcement of Kun Gong City with a large army.
The idea of the two army commanders is very good, this is also the best way to fight in the current situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak, but they forgot that the defense of the entire Kun Gong City was handled by Wu Chengfeng, and when she retreated, how could she not leave a back hand.
After discussion, the commander of the Twelfth Imperial Army, Kodina, led eight divisions to attack, and they would launch a non-stop attack on the Shouyang Army from all directions as a unit, so as to delay its movement. Larric, the commander of the Eighteenth Legion, will be stationed at the city of Kornium, providing logistical support for the Cordina forces while stationing there.
The two sides soon separated, but Cordina, who had thought things too simply, soon ran into trouble. For guerrilla warfare, Fang Ruitao has his own methods, from the Snow Wolf Pass to Dima City, it is basically a plain and grassland area, which is conducive to the cavalry galloping back and forth, but it is also easy to expose their targets.
Cordina's cavalry were well acquainted with the terrain of their own country, and they soon launched an assault on the marching Shouyang army. Fang Ruitao has always maintained a high level of vigilance against the Durrant Empire, which is good at cavalry, after all, in this world where mechanical vehicles cannot be produced, the mobility of cavalry is unparalleled.
Although there are 8,000 Earth Dragon Beasts of the Earth Dragon Division in the team, as well as the Flying Dragon Wing and the Earth Dragon Wing that the Elven Knights have just formed, compared to the more than 300,000 troops that attacked, their numbers are too small after all, and they cannot effectively cover at all, so even in the middle of the march, the infantry are required to be ready for battle at any time to prevent the other party's sneak attack.
Dimat, who competed with Fang Ruitao on the stage as the squad leader, is now also a senior officer, and he is also the captain of the most powerful guard flag team in the Dragon Soul Legion. Under Fang Ruitao's care, the personnel of this ace force have reached 12,000 people, which is close to the strength of three wings.
Although the establishment of the guard flag team is not as large as that of a division, they are the only two long-range weapon units in the entire Shouyang Army, and the other is the guard flag team dedicated to protecting Fang Ruitao, and that force is only 8,000 people.
The Flag Guard Detachment led by Dimatte is now deployed in the marching queue of the Heavy Weapons Wing as its protective force, along with two Heavy Wings.
Since his departure, Dimatt has been cautious and ready to fight, a habit that has given him a taste of sweetness. It was just the morning of the second day of the departure of the army, and the Shouyang army, which had had breakfast, set up camp and continued to advance in the direction of Kun Gong City, when they marched for about an hour, suddenly a warning came.
In order to detect the enemy's sneak attack as soon as possible, the commanders of each unit sent some soldiers with good sight to stand on the roof of the carriage and monitor the whole way with binoculars in hand, and it was these sentries who sounded the alarm at this time.
