Xie Tanzhi continued: "That's what Gemma should think. Of course, it is best if Belen can continue to hide, he is in the core of our army, and once he launches a surprise attack, he will definitely be able to catch us off guard. On the other hand, even if Belen's whereabouts are exposed and the position of the troops is in the hands of our army, Gema is not worried, and has great confidence to confuse us, so that our army will not be able to figure out where Belen's next goal is. If we guess that it is Ikoru County, and then set up the corresponding ambush, then he may run away and leave us to wait for an empty game. In the same way, if we were to fight in other places, Belén might be able to capture Ikoru with ease. ”

Li Jiangyao bowed slightly, and said with a good smile: "This is the problem, we have no time to mobilize enough strength to prevent Belen, let alone accurately predict the direction of his attack." ”

Xie Tanzhi looked at him and asked a little curiously: "Although my lord said this, why do you think that you seem to have a bamboo in your chest?" ”

"I can't say that I have confidence." Li Jiangyao calmly responded: "However, I have a little bit in my heart about what kind of response we should take. ”

"Please advise."

Li Jiangyao pointed to the valley on the map: "As you just analyzed, I think the reason why Belen has been squatting there like a dumb bird for a few days is because he has not yet received Gemma's instructions, or he has received new instructions and needs to make corresponding adjustments." At the same time, Gema was also waiting to confirm whether Xu Youchang's army had all arrived outside the Zijin Pass. If the 100,000 main forces of Zhenjiang are contained in Zijin Pass, then it will be difficult for the more than 100,000 newly recruited soldiers in our hands to pose a threat to Belen. ”

Xie Tanzhi nodded: "In this case, the 70,000 horses of Belen can be used at will." ”

Li Jiangyao said: "That's right, feel free to play." But Gema, the old fox, is still not at ease, he was beaten by you and Xu Youchang last time, so he definitely doesn't dare to be careless again. I guess he's still trying to play a trick that will make us tired of coping. ”

After that, Li Jiangyao leaned over the map and asked intently, "Let's make a hypothesis." Do you think we know this valley from Gemma's point of view? Still don't know? ”

Xie Tanzhi replied without hesitation: "According to common sense, of course Gema knows that no matter how much Belen hides, it will be difficult to hide it without revealing the slightest trace. After all, that's tens of thousands of troops, and on our territory, we can't do it without knowing it. ”

"Well, I agree." Li Jiangyao smiled: "Then let's go one step further." If you were Gema Khan and knew that the Zhenjiang army had set their sights on Belen, what would you do with it? ”

This question is very military skills, Xie Tanzhi thought seriously for a while, and then replied: "If it were me, there would be two choices. First, in the vicinity of Ikoru, the main force was secretly transferred to the direction of Metasequoia City, and then waited for an opportunity to sneak attack. ”

Li Jiangyao smiled: "Let's talk about the second one." The first option is unlikely. They went deep into the hinterland of our army, and under the close surveillance of the scouts, and what kind of tricks such as secret transfer were carried out, it was a pure joke. ”

Xie Tanzhi also smiled: "The second option, I will see the right time and launch a multi-way offensive at the same time." In the case that the opponent's scouts did not have time to report, they took advantage of the characteristics of the cavalry's swiftness like the wind and blossomed everywhere. ”

"It's kind of interesting to think of flowers blooming around." Li Jiangyao's eyes lit up: "Where are they blooming?" ”

Xie Tanzhi calmly replied: "Metasequoia City, Ikoru, Rouge, Lang Ke Duolun, Yinghe Military Town, as well as Daban and Pai, except for the Yarumqi Mountain Fortress that is far away, all places can be attacked. As for the main point...... I think it's still metasequoia! ”

"Come with me." Li Jiangyao said with a smile: "Although Gema can't let Belen ambush near Metasequoia in advance, it can also play the role of a sneak attack if it attacks at the same time." In particular, Icoru County was attacked, and in order to ensure the safety of the army's supply lines, Metasequoia City would most likely send troops to the rescue. In that case, the number of troops defending the city would be reduced, which would favor Belém's success. ”

He paused slightly, thought for a moment and continued: "The three eastern cities newly conquered by our army, Rouge, Lang Ke Duolun and Yinghe, all lack sufficient strategic significance, and Gemar sent troops to attack there, at most, it will play some harassing role, and it will not hinder the overall situation. So if I were him, I wouldn't waste too much energy in these three cities. ”

Xie Tanzhi agreed: "No matter how you look at it, Metasequoia City and Icoru County are the preferred targets. ”

Li Jiangyao said affirmatively: "That's right, these two places are the real targets of the enemy, and the virtual ones are real, and the real ones are imaginary. Belen led reinforcements all the way to the west, and was supposed to immediately join up with the Yakut legion, or take advantage of its stealth advantage to raid our town. However, Gema made him take several detours and sneak closer to Ikru. The purpose of this is to give us the illusion that Belen is preparing to attack this place, when his real target is Metasequoia to the west. Icoru is imaginary, metasequoia is real. ”

Xie Tan's heart responded convincingly: "My lord's analysis, the psychological state of Cheng Cheng Ma should be eight or nine without leaving ten. The old guy didn't let Belen sneak up on the main force of the friend from behind, but he guessed that we would take precautions, which was equivalent to cleverly jumping out of our imagination. And he later asked Belen to lead his troops to Ikoru, starting from the battle situation at Zijin Pass, and making a layout along the way, making us think that he wanted to cut off Xu Youchang's back road. When we focused on Ikoru, he made a plan and went out in many ways, feinting to attack Ikoru and other towns while sending the main force to attack Metasequoia for a long distance. Even if Gema's spies are not good, they should have heard that our newly formed Fifth and Sixth Armies are currently training in the fortress of Mount Arumqi, and Metasequoia only has the third army of the county lord, and once the rescue of Ikoru is dispatched, the number of defenders will be even less. ”

Li Jiangyao said loudly: "Since he plans to give us a multi-way attack, then I should give him a chance to avoid hypocrisy and wait for the rabbit." Lao Xie, pass my orders! ”

Xie Tanzhi arched his hand: "Please command." ”

"First, order Xu Youchang to immediately launch a fierce attack on the enemy in front of him, and be sure to force the entire army of Gema to retreat to the Zijin Pass, unable to echo Belen. Second, order the defenders of Ikoru to urgently adjust their defense plans, evacuate the residents of the city as soon as possible, and prepare to lure the enemy deep and burn the city to trap the enemy. Third, order Horia to send troops to deploy an ambush position in the hilly area east of Metasequoia City, and once she receives a distress message from Ikoru County, she will quickly send suspicious soldiers to reinforce it, while the main force of the Third Army will move into the ambush area and wait for the enemy to arrive. ”

"Report - report to the Khan, the left flank position of our army was broken through by the enemy, General Danikun resisted desperately, and has struggled to force the other side back, but they have suffered heavy losses, please ask the Khan to send reinforcements immediately!"

In fact, there is no need for his subordinates to report, and Gemar Khan, who is at the lookout, can see clearly with his own eyes alone.

An hour ago, the left flank wall of the Turkic camp was smashed open by the assault force of the Zhenjiang Army, and countless Shengtang soldiers wearing dark blue military uniforms swarmed in. Danikun, the general of the Night Wheel Clan who stayed behind the left flank, reacted quickly, and immediately led his Yakutia elite to meet the frontal attack, playing a fatal way to block the gap.

Flesh and blood seem worthless at this moment. The men and horses on both sides also fought fiercely for an hour regardless of the cost, and finally each left two or three thousand corpses behind and broke away from the battle.

Fortunately, Danikun was brave, otherwise the entire camp would not have been saved.

Since yesterday, the Zhenjiang army, which had been silent for many days, suddenly launched a fierce offensive against Gema without warning.

If the first time the army was arrayed before, the Zhenjiang side more or less demonstrated the nature of the might, then this time the battle really showed their terrifying strength.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 80,000 Western Xinjiang Organized Army, which was responsible for the defense, was almost blinded as soon as it came up.

From the Zhenjiang Army marching out of the camp, to laying out the line of troops in front of the battle, and then to launching the attack in echelons of all battalions, teams, and arms, the entire combat process was smooth and swift. On the other hand, on the side of the Western Xinjiang Reorganization Army, the gong sounded for a quarter of an hour, and the various groups of men and horses defending the walled wall were still panicked, and they were not sorted out at all.

At this time, the rain of arrows of the Zhenjiang army had already slanted down.

After the five rounds of flying arrows were struck, the walls of the Turkic camp were like hedgehogs, full of arrows, and countless people were injured by the arrows. Immediately afterwards, a large number of Zhenjiang army broke the formation and charged, holding high the shield and rushing directly under the wall, like an angry wave crashing on the shore, shaking the camp.

Seeing that the local soldiers in Western Xinjiang were sparse and basically could not be counted on, Gemar Khan was also ruthless, he ordered the Yakut cavalry to mount their horses, rush out from the side gates on both sides of the battalion, and take advantage of the advance of the war horses to sweep the siege infantry of the Zhenjiang army.

However, what Linggema didn't expect was that the infantry of the Zhenjiang Army was so fierce that it was unreasonably fierce. When they saw that there were Turkic cavalry on the left and right, they did not panic in the slightest, and immediately divided their troops to resist, and with just their flesh and blood, they stubbornly resisted the first wave of cavalry impact!

This crucial resistance bought precious time for the comrades-in-arms, and the ironclad cavalry who remained in the rear to suppress the formation, shouted the battle call of the Protectorate of the Frontier of Shengtang Town, as if the wind and clouds were swept away, covering from a distance.

Seeing this, the Yakutian army also hurriedly divided its troops and went to intercept it. The two cavalry slammed together like two tides, and in the blink of an eye, the Turks were killed by the Zhenjiang army like chopping melons and vegetables, and they were defeated and retreated.

If it weren't for the speed of the horses and the defenders closing the side gate of the camp in time, the wolf-like ironclad cavalry of Zhenjiang would have rushed into the camp with the Turks on the spot.
