Section 98 Doubts
readx;
After pondering for a while, Ling Tianfang finally made up his mind, it seemed that he had to pay for this battle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This kind of battle in the wilderness of a horse and a flat river, it was originally the Luope people's forte, and now they have no choice, if the number of troops in their hands is to be discussed, even more than the Luope people, but their own side is forced to take a defensive position, the enemy's strong cavalry exceeds their own side too much, and their own side needs to guard against too many positions, this passive defense is originally the lowest level of defense, but now it can not command the baton to turn, then there is only a big blood, let them take the bait, as the saying goes, reluctant children can not set the wolf, willing to be willing, do not take this means。
"Jianguo, we must be mentally prepared for this battle, we are afraid that the losses will exceed any time, but we have no choice, if we want the Luope people to follow us, we have to give up, if we want to drag the enemy's footsteps, we can only fight against the water and fight hard. Ling Tianfang's voice was a little low, obviously he also thought of the cruelty of his plan, exchanging the loss of the army for the safety of the people, this seems to sound very great, but in the real war, no one can do it, who wants to see their army sacrifice for some ordinary people who have nothing to do?
Kang Jianguo had vaguely heard from the words of the military affairs director who had not spoken much, although he didn't understand how to win this battle, but at least he knew one thing, that is, he must not let Luo Pei's iron cavalry run into the northwest interior, and to do this, the other party seems to be deliberately using the army as bait to seduce the Luo Pei army to take the Western Xinjiang army as the main target, but does this work? Kang Jianguo was a little skeptical, not to mention whether he would concentrate all his forces on the bait, even if he put it on the bait, how much time would it be able to win? Now that the war on the eastern front is about to break out, there is no surplus force to draw west for a while, so this will have almost no effect except for letting the Luope people calmly eat the bait, and they can still drive straight into the bait after solving the bait, and then they are afraid that the situation will be worse.
"Lord Ling, are you planning to use Ying Jianming's three divisions as bait?" This is a matter of course, since you have joined the Western Frontier Army, you need to show a little posture to win respect, Kang Jianguo does not think that whoever has privileges, everyone is equal in the face of war, whoever is more suitable for this position will be on the line, there is no condition to talk about.
"No, if you want to attract the Luobei people, Ying Jianming's three divisions are not enough, Tu Da's appetite is very big, it is difficult to attract him with this little force, I want your three divisions to take Ying Jianming's two divisions, so that our northwest is almost the main force, as long as he can eat this bait, the six provinces in the northwest will almost let him run the bar, is this bait enough?" A rare smile finally appeared on Ling Tianfang's gloomy face, obviously he was quite confident in his plan, but listening to it in Kang Jianguo's ears was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
"What?!Lord Ling, what are you talking about? Let my three divisions be bait? Your Excellency, aren't you kidding again? How can you use our Jerok Legion as bait? This is not good, absolutely not!"
"No, presumptuous! I'll tell you, you have to do it, you have to do it, if you can't do it, this is a military order!" Ling Tianfang's face sank suddenly, and his tone became stern.
"Lord Ling, I'm not afraid of the loss of my own army, but if you do this, what strength will we use to fight back? You have evacuated all your troops at once, what if the Luope people don't go straight to the northwest inland if they don't do this? Then how should we deal with it?" Lowering his head a little in disdain, Kang Jianguo also realized that he was a little speechless, and hurriedly explained.
"That's not something you need to care about, you just need to think about how to delay this battle as long as possible, and I'll bear all the consequences. Ling Tianfang was no longer polite, and his tone became more and more cold.
In view of the tense situation in the northwest, Ling Tianfang announced an emergency decree on the first day of sitting in Qingyang, and the entire northwest entered a wartime state, preparing to deal with the imminent outbreak of war, and now that the Luope iron cavalry has set foot on the northwest border, he also immediately issued a combat order, in addition to leaving the Fifth Division of the Fourth Army of the Imperial Army under Ying Jianming, the Qingyang Garrison Wing and the cadet army of the Northwest Military Academy to be responsible for the defense of Qingyang City, the remaining five divisions in their hands were divided into two arrows and advanced westward respectively, stationed on the western border line and put up a defensive formation。
This strange appearance of the Western Xinjiang Army calmed down the Luope people who were already impatient, and this kind of practice of abandoning the city without defending it but coming to this wilderness to prepare for a field battle with his own side was undoubtedly a replica of another war in this land many years ago, when it was on this land that he led the army to break the Tang River Empire Situ Mingzhi led the army to annihilate more than 100,000 enemies in one fell swoop, but later because of his carelessness to take the lead in setting off and returning, Li Wufeng took the opportunity to pick a landing peach, and now the people of Western Xinjiang once again put on this strange posture, have they forgotten their lessons or do they think that they are quite capable of defeating their side in the field?
This bizarre behavior of the Western Xinjiang Army made the Luobei people hesitate, and even Tu Da himself was a little unsure of the intention of the Western Xinjiang people to put on such a posture, and seeing their appearance in the Tuqi Plain, they were going to rush up to dig a ditch and set up camp, and they looked like they were going to fight a protracted war, which made Tu Da have scruples. Could it be that Li Wufeng's reinforcements have already arrived in the northwest?
"What did you say?" Tu Da was taken aback, and slapped the table with a sharp voice.
"Well, Marshal, this is the information that our intelligence officers have only obtained from the enemy, the four cavalry regiments of the Tang River people have been operating in Qingyang, but their whereabouts are very secretive, we can't grasp the specific whereabouts, and their first army is rushing to Qingyang overnight, it is estimated that they should be able to reach Qingyang within a week. "The intelligence officer was so nervous that his lips turned a little white, and the sudden change in the enemy's situation was only now known to him, the intelligence chief, and he was indeed suspected of dereliction of duty.
"Where did these four cavalry regiments come from?" Tu replied as carefully as he tried to calm down, and asked carefully about the details, "Didn't Li Wufeng's First and Third Cavalry Regiment have already infiltrated the Western Regions? In addition, you said that Li Wufeng's other two cavalry regiments have also returned to the northwest, which two cavalry regiments are they?"
"Back to the marshal, it should be the 4th and 5th Cavalry Regiments, they returned from the Central Plains, and our intelligence officers on the front line of Partridge Pass saw it with their own eyes. "That's what intelligence officials are quite sure of.
Tu Da fell into deep thought, the reason why Ling Tianfang put on such a passive beating situation, he naturally couldn't think of the real reason, the army made sacrifices for the interests of the people, this is a problem that the soldiers don't have to think about, and it is even more so in the minds of the Luope people, in their opinion, the people should pay everything for the army to win the battle, Tu Da is no exception, he can only infer from whether Ling Tianfang has other tricks, after all, Ling Tianfang is also an old opponent of the Luope people, and in this land, the Tanghe people have been defeated, he will not be so careless and presumptuous。
The only possibility is that the Tang River people want to put on this decisive battle posture on the Tuqi Plain, and pretend to be an empty appearance in the interior to seduce their army into the interior, and then use his four cavalry regiments of more than 100,000 people and geographical advantages to eliminate their own living forces, although Tu Da did not think for a while how the Tang River people set up an ambush and ambush their own army in the interior of Qingyang, but he believed that Ling Tianfang must have his own certainty since he dared to do so, Ling Tianfang is not a bold and reckless person, never has been, this is Tu Da's careful analysis of Ling Tian's performance under Li Wufeng's command for so many years, plain and unpretentious, victory is calm, this is Ling Tianfang's style that is resistant to becoming famous。
Tu Da smiled slightly, Ling Tianfang was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, he ambushed the four ranger regiments in the rear and waited for him to take the bait, but he didn't expect that he had time, he could have a war of attrition with his main army on this Tuqi Plain, the Tuqi Plain has always been his blessed land, maybe history will repeat itself here, the Tuqi Plain has no danger to defend, and he just used it to test the power of his ironclad cavalry, so many years of lying on his salary and trying his courage is to let the proud infantry phalanx of the Tanghe people see the power of the Luobei Iron Cavalry。
It is not for nothing that Tu Dazhi has such great self-confidence, since the repeated wars, especially the war with the Tang people, the Luo Pei light cavalry in front of the Tang people's infantry phalanx, especially the hoplite phalanx, was at a loss, and the rudimentary ironclad cavalry also had little effect in front of Li Wufeng's heavy infantry armed with the Gaoyue people, Tu Da, who had already served as the leader of the expedition to the west, began to improve the ironclad cavalry under his command, and Luo Pei's continuous improvement in the financial situation also provided considerable support for his improvement, coupled with the encouragement of the big chief, it should be said that Tu Da's reform of the ironclad cavalry was quite successful, The original simple chain mail was replaced by authentic iron leaf armor, and the war horse was also covered with heavy horse armor, and the traditional ordinary spear was also replaced by the regular ironclad cavalry spear, coupled with the strict military discipline training of the cavalry instructors hired from the Western Continent, this ironclad cavalry has a faint taste of a male division.
An army that does not go into battle is never a real army, Tu Da has long hoped that there will be a solid war to test the ironclad cavalry that he has spent a lot of money to build, and now that Ling Tianfang has put on a position, it is obvious that he is defiing his inability to break through his infantry defense line, maybe it is time to teach him a good lesson.
