The words of his chief of staff made Song Tianxiong impressed at the same time, and at the same time, his heart lit up, it seems that in the future, this battle in the imperial capital city may need to consider more than just winning the battle, as Jing Li said, this imperial capital city has been accumulated for thousands of years, if His Royal Highness the King of Qin really wants to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, I am afraid that the countless facilities and wealth of the city need to be preserved, if those guys who jump over the wall are wantonly destroyed, I, the division commander of the Tiger Wing Army, may really be difficult to explain to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, not to mention the security of countless people who are inextricably linked with His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Western Xinjiang。 Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Nodding slowly, Song Tianxiong obviously accepted Jing Li's opinion, and said with a solemn expression for a long time: "Then our current goal can't just stay on Situ Tai's division, once the war breaks out, it's hard to say what accidents may happen, His Royal Highness King Qin has such high expectations for us, we can't let him down." Well, now our vision can't be limited to the important parts and strategic points we control in this area, we have to come up with an all-round plan, we have to take into account that once the situation in the imperial capital is really out of control, for example, if there is a situation like the Praetorian Guards who can't control the dragons or the Praetorian Guards can't use each other, how can we control the strategic places in the imperial capital as quickly as possible, seize the strategic opportunity, even if we can't fully control the imperial capital, at least leave enough space and time for our follow-up troops to make our next move。 ”
Jing Li couldn't help but admire his boss's keen intuition of drawing inferences from one case to another, and his thinking was still only on how to protect the important facilities of the imperial capital and ensure the safety of important people. However, Song Tianxiong was already thinking about how to seize a strategic position to prepare for the comprehensive seizure of the imperial capital, but in any case, the current Tiger Wing Army was definitely not without work, and it had to immediately contact the forces of the General Intelligence Administration, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Western Xinjiang Security Agency in the imperial capital to collect all kinds of intelligence and prepare for the formulation of such a huge plan.
"By the way, Ali, I'm afraid that the strength of our division is a little weak now. Especially the special forces, although two brigades were added. But it is still far from enough, you immediately arrange for someone to write a report, asking for the addition of three more brigades of special forces, and add them to a wing, only in this way can you take on this task, you might as well write down our intentions in detail, I believe that Lord Ling should give understanding and support. Song Tianxiong slapped his last palm on the desk to indicate the final word. To bear such heavy responsibilities, a division is indeed weaker, and a strengthened division may be barely up to the task.
Along the eastern side of the Wushan foothills is an open and steep mountain, which stretches intermittently from north to south, the northern end of which extends to the southeastern hinterland of Jinchengfu in Kansai County, and the southern part of Wushan is more fragmented and fragmented in comparison. The distance between the mountains is also a little farther apart, and the rushing rivers roar out of this mountainous area, providing a very abundant water source for the rivers in the southern part of the Todai 6.
After two catastrophes, the army of the three divisions of the First Army finally advanced to the alpine forest area deep in Wushan, where the altitude is said to have reached 3,400 meters, and along the way passed through the large hemlock forests of Hengduan Mountain scattered in the river valley. Eventually, he entered the Hengduan Mountain fir forest, which was originally thought to be a unique tree species in the Hengduan Mountains, with fine and hard wood, and was the first-class wood for making high-grade wood carving crafts and furniture, but he did not expect it to appear in the Wushan Mountains. This is the last zone of forest distribution in the vertical zone of the hillside - the subalpine dark coniferous forest belt, which is composed of the spire-like canopy of the Hengduan Mountain fir pinnacle, which pierces the blue sky, the tree is more than one meter high, the tree is dark and damp, the surface and trunk are dense with moss, and the forest is covered with tall tree-like rhododendron shrubs. Although the flowering season has passed. However, some tall rhododendron branches can still be seen with pink or blood-red bulbous flowers. It's like lighting a few red waxes in the dark green and dark forest sea, which is warm and lovely. Its name is the tree-shaped rhododendron, which is regarded as an auspicious flower by the Gaoyue people in the Hengduan Mountains.
Arriving in this area also means that the army has entered the most difficult area, the biggest problem that plagues the army here is that the thin air makes the soldiers very easy to get tired, especially the Tang soldiers of the first and second divisions, the Tang soldiers who lack the experience of living in high-altitude areas are obviously a little difficult to adapt to this kind of area, especially the high-intensity march, so every hour or so the army has to stop and rest for fifteen minutes to half an hour, until the soldiers' physical strength is slightly recovered before continuing to advance, fortunately, this area is already the limit height of the Wushan Mountains, if you go up soon, you will soon enter the snow line area, that is the real test of death for those who have not been specially trained, fortunately, at least this time the Western Xinjiang Army does not have to face this kind of hard ordeal.
For the Gaoyue people who live in the Hengduan Mountains for a long time, this high-altitude march is undoubtedly the best stage to fully demonstrate their physical strength and adaptability, especially in the area of more than 3,000 meters, so that the third division is far behind the first and second divisions, although the third division also has to shoulder the responsibility of opening the road engineers, but this does not seem to have any impact on their marching, often the third division opens up and chooses a good road through an hour, the first and second divisions will arrive with tired steps, which makes the Qu Bo and Sha Lang, who have been unwilling to take their mouths, have to sigh and bow to the wind。 Fortunately, the march time in the mountains of more than 3,000 meters was not long, and the guide who was familiar with the terrain route finally chose a steep but relatively close distance to climb over the main ridge of Wushan at the pass, but even so, the mountain road of less than ten miles still made the three divisions spend six hours to cross, and from that moment the Western Xinjiang Army could gloriously declare to the world that the Western Xinjiang Army had officially crossed the main peak of the dangerous Wushan Mountain Range, which was praised by the empire as uncrossable.
Tall trees such as weeping cypress and alpine cypress form the dividing line between the forest and the meadow, and these trees curl up and coil together at the rocks to form a unique treeline landscape. Above the tree line is a large area of alpine shrub meadows, and the rhododendrons are closely intertwined to form a dense alpine jungle with high meters. As you can imagine, when the flowers are in full bloom in spring, their golden yellow flowers will turn the entire hillside yellow. The snow melts late on the slopes, and the rhododendron shrubs cannot grow, but various herbaceous plants compete to invade, resulting in a unique landscape of alpine meadows and alpine shrubs. Passing through the mountain pass, the regimental degree of the third division was greatly accelerated, and the climate change in the mixed forest and meadow area was also more obvious, sometimes the cold wind made you have to wrap in a jacket, and sometimes the sun was shining and even the skin could be baked off for you, but this was not unusual for the Gaoyue soldiers who had lived in the mountains for a long time, and the living conditions in the Hengduan Mountains were worse than here, and they could still survive, and they should be a good place with fertile land and beautiful water in comparison.
After passing through the mountain valley and meadow area, the eastern foothills of Wushan are much more gentle than the western foothills, and the gradual decline in altitude also makes it easier for the soldiers to adapt, and after a three-thousand-meter march, the march in these areas feels much easier.
Wuzhen, a town that is difficult to find on the map, is destined to leave a name in history, and the town of less than a thousand people, although it is famous for its local production of medicinal herbs, it will never be able to occupy a page in the history books without this earth-shattering trip.
On August 5, 699 in the 6th Gregorian calendar, after a full nine days of arduous trekking, the three divisions of the First Army Corps of Western Xinjiang finally stepped out of the Wushan Mountains and quietly arrived at Wuzhen at the eastern foot of Wushan after two days out of the scheduled time. This is a small town in the westernmost part of Yueyang Mansion, usually except for the medicinal herb merchant will come in the medicinal material acquisition season twice a year, and few outsiders come, which is also the breakthrough chosen by the first army in Western Xinjiang at the beginning, the anxious receiver has been waiting here for a week in the guise of the medicinal herb acquisition merchant, they don't know what happened in the mountains, but after two days they still did not see the figure of the army outpost, which made them anxious but did not dare to make a noise, they could only grit their teeth and wait.
As if the tormented wait finally came to a happy moment, when a sentinel soldier like a flower child quietly sneaked into Wuzhen with the help of the darkness before dawn to find the receiver to pick up the head, the big stone of the heart of the receiver who was already haggard was really put down, everything went according to the established plan, Wuzhen of less than a thousand people was soon tightly sealed by the swarming soldiers of the Western Xinjiang, and the soldiers of the Western Xinjiang who had experienced a life-and-death journey finally ushered in a time when they could rest assured and boldly breathe, the entire Wuzhen has been completely closed, only access is not allowed to go out, and the soldiers of the three divisions are deployed in a semi-arc to camp around WuzhenAfter more than a week of hard work, it can finally be exchanged for a short respite, and the palms of the three divisions will also meet here to discuss the next step of the march, and the soldiers will usher in their long-awaited rest. Here they will be able to get a day's repair, and after a day's repair, they will fly eastward along the gentle hillside as fast as they can, and seize Maotian Town, an important town sixty miles east of Wuzhen, which is enough to choke the entire eastern part of Yueyang.
