After listening to Fei Ze's analysis, Ding Kui said: "If you really know how to rush, can they arrive before I go to my country?"
"Isn't there still a few months left?" Kong Ren always believed that local officials did not dare to make things difficult for the Tenth Army.
Fei Ze sneered and said: "Hey, Yangyuan Prefecture is not a place to raise horses. The local government only needs to excuse the lack of fodder, and the Tenth Army has to spend time feeding the horses. People can stay awake, but war horses can't.
There are too many things that troops often do to oppress local people. They are all relying on military orders to exercise authority. It does not mean that local officials have no temper. Once they are given the opportunity, they have many ways to regulate people."
He had often heard complaints from generals before, and he knew that local officials were not easy to deal with. They were all well versed in national, French and military disciplines, and there was nothing you could do about them if they insisted on conducting official business.
Kong Ren's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something to refute, but he swallowed it back because he remembered his grandfather's words, "Don't underestimate the wisdom of low-level officials, they always have ways to make things fail."
"The advantages of the cavalry corps are high mobility and high impact, and they are invincible in plain fields. However, the shortcomings are also obvious. The battlefield requirements are too high and the supply pressure is high.
With Shibu County, Zhushan County and Huashan County as barriers, the Protectorate Red Army guarding the boundary city area, and the Eighth Army Corps guarding Pingfu County, it is not difficult to prevent them from attacking the rear.
You just need to remember one thing: don’t take the initiative to fight before I come back, but let the enemy troops move around the border.”
Ding Kui did not have the ability to predict the future and did not know how the Tenth Army would fight back after he went to his country. He could only give a guiding principle of only defending but not attacking.
Although Jiang Xi was still in the Zhushan County camp, the highest military command was in the hands of Ding Kui, and Jiang Xi had to obey Ding Kui in the general direction.
Not long after the 10th Army Corps set off, Fei Ze's words were unlucky.
"What? There are only ten transport ships!" Shao Diantai's eyes were astonishing.
Shaodiancang replied: "Local officials said that all the transport ships have been transferred to transport the Thirteenth Army Corps. At present, these ten ships are still merchant ships that were forcibly requisitioned."
"Isn't there the Xijiang Navy that transports the Thirteenth Army Corps? This is Hexi Prefecture!" Shao Diantai intuitively thought that this was the excuse of the local official.
"The Xijiang Navy's ships suffered serious losses, so they requisitioned many local ships. My subordinates patrolled the river and could not find any more ships." Shao Diancang sent out the entire 91st Division to find the ships, but they were unable to find them.
With little success.
"Where is the other side?" Shao Dian Tai was anxious. One hundred thousand cavalrymen could not cross the Xijiang River in a month with only ten medium-sized transport ships.
At this time, a man who looked like a local official walked into the big tent, bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and said: "Commander, the large and medium-sized ships on both sides of the Xijiang River have been transferred to Zhongwangzhou. Your army wants to cross the river as soon as possible, but
Order the Xijiang Navy to withdraw some ships."
Shao Diantai cursed in his heart: Damn it, grandma, I don't have the right to command the Xijiang Navy! The rank of their commander is still above me.
"Well, I will send people to urge the Xijiang Navy. Where is the Hexi Prefecture Navy? Where is the Yangyuan Prefecture Navy? You can also send their warships over." He couldn't openly question the local officials, because they didn't understand this.
"Commander, the navy of Nanzhao Prefecture has gone to fight in the west, not to mention Hexi Prefecture and Yangyuan Prefecture. If you don't believe it, you can ask Qingling City and Jianyang City."
Qingling City and Jianyang City are the capitals of Hexi Prefecture and Yangyuan Prefecture respectively. The official's answer was quite satisfactory. If Shao Diantai wanted to mobilize warships, he would have to deal with the state capitals.
"You! You are delaying the military plane!" Shao Diantai got angry and slapped the military case.
"Where do you start talking about this? I don't dare to take the blame." There was no fear on the little official's face.
A staff officer on the side advised: "My lord, don't be angry. You can't talk to him. It's better to let the humble officer contact the military command department."
Even if a local official did something wrong, it would not be Shao Diantai's turn to deal with it. A military commander had no reason to quarrel with a minor official.
Shao Diantai pointed at the staff officer and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!"
It is not difficult to contact the Military Command, just find a magic guild. After hearing the news, Shaodian personally supervised the mobilization of ships. However, it is not that easy for the Military Command to contact the ships.
It was true that all the large and medium-sized ships were transporting the Thirteenth Army Corps, but the Thirteenth Army Corps had already completed crossing the river, and the idle ships were not in a hurry to go back.
It had been a day since the order from the Military Command was delivered to the ship. Most of the captains were not in a hurry when they received the order. After all, crossing the river was not an urgent matter for the 10th Army Corps. There was no difference between returning one day earlier or one day later.
Shao Diantai waited on the shore for several days before a small number of ships arrived one after another.
He looked at the slowly approaching ships on the river, pulled out his long sword, pointed at it and cursed: "The kingdom is in crisis, and these people are still so slack. We should kill them all!"
Wu Huo stood beside him and advised: "Sir, it is not easy for the enemy to argue with our own people at the moment. We are only executing the orders of the clan government. They have many excuses not to cooperate.
We are still far away from Nanzhao Prefecture, and the road will be even more difficult if we cause trouble now. Please save some of your strength to deal with the real enemy. There is no need to vent your anger on the little people."
"Why are you still speaking for them? The orders of the imperial clan are Shaodian's business, and Shaodian's business is state affairs! Do they have any reason to delay state affairs? Everyone is like them, Shaodian's country will be destroyed!" Shaodian
Tai has never been so angry.
"I can understand your feelings, but there are too few people in the world who are as loyal and patriotic as you. If you kill them all, you won't be able to kill them all in your lifetime. Don't forget how the eldest princess and the consort became rebellious. They
I also think I can represent the Shaodian clan." Wu Huo was one of the few people around Shaodiantai who dared to tell the truth.
"Hmph!" Shao Diantai struck the ground with his sword, creating a deep trench several meters long. "I'll take care of them when I come back." He finally remembered that he had to cross the river when he came back.
…
Before the smile brought about by the victory at Stone Urn City disappeared from Shao Dianzhang's face, bad news came immediately: Mu Ji died in battle and the Sixteenth Legion was destroyed.
Since then, Hailin Prefecture has declared its entire territory occupied.
Mu Ji led the sixteenth legion, with the cooperation of local nobles, to deal with the rebels for a long time, and fought vigorously in Hailin Prefecture.
However, since the indigenous nobles sent troops to join the war, Shao Dianyong was able to devote more troops to Hailin Prefecture, and Mu Ji's life became increasingly difficult.
This time, it is said that Cang Yan, the president of the New Magic Association, personally took action and accurately located the location of the main force of the Sixteenth Army. Three hundred thousand rebels swarmed forward. Mu Ji sent some troops to cover the retreat of the nobles in Hailin State who were unwilling to surrender.
, lead the main force to the rear.
Soldiers and horses from both sides fought desperately in Luguo County. Mu Ji led the last force of the Sea Demon Division to fight against Cang Yan's men. They fought from noon to dark, and the sky was dark and the ground was dark, but the rebels' encirclement was not allowed to close.
This battle was fought with hard power and no tactics were used. The two armies fought on more than ten battlefields in Luguo County. The troops of the 16th Army refused to surrender until the last soldier. They even died.
You need to drag one with a backrest.
In the end, the rebels won a tragic victory. Mu Ji was killed in the battle, more than 50,000 of the Sixteenth Army were killed, and another 10,000 were wounded and captured. The rebels also suffered more than 100,000 casualties.
"Shaodianyong already owns half of the country." The disappointed voice of the Prince Regent spread throughout the hall.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although the battle of Luguo County was defeated, the rebels' strength was damaged. They cannot strengthen the troops in the Zhuangwangzhou war zone in a short time. The imperial army is expected to regain the lost land of Zhuangwangzhou." Zipi stood up and cheered.
human heart.
Bao Tu came out and said: "Your Highness, although the Bao family is dead, the kingdom is still there. I personally invite you to go to Zhongwangzhou, use your family wealth to organize local braves, and wait for an opportunity to regain Hailin Prefecture."
"No! Master Bao, please don't be impulsive." Zibi did not expect Bao Tu to be so strong-willed. "The battle will be left to the commander-in-chief's office. The laws of the country still need to be rectified by Master Bao."
"Mu Ji neglected his duty! He failed to protect Lu Guo County. The king immediately ordered the reorganization of the Sixteenth Legion. He will definitely recapture Lu Guo County and return it to Bao Qing." Shaodian Shi would not agree to Bao Tu.
"Your Highness!" Shaodian Zhang heard something was wrong. "The Sixteenth Legion was outnumbered. Mu Ji fought hard and died for his country. They are all loyal and brave men and they did not neglect their duties."
"Why didn't Mu Ji break out earlier when he knew he was outnumbered? Couldn't the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Zhongwangzhou theater respond to them?" Shaodian was very annoyed when he was rebutted in person.
"Actually, Mu Ji has long wanted to break out of the encirclement, but there are many aristocratic families in Hailin Prefecture. Taking them with them would be too big a target and would be inconvenient for marching, so he has been staying near Luguo County.
The Zhongwangzhou Theater also involves a small part of the main force of the rebels, making the rebels unable to encircle and suppress the Sixteenth Army Corps. If Nanzhao Prefecture can mobilize troops to support, the Zhongwangzhou Theater will be able to open up the passage to Hailin State."
At this time, Shaodianzhang passed the responsibility to Nanzhaozhou.
If Shao Dianluan did not build his own small court, Jiang Xi could quickly form the new 12th and 19th Army Corps. Counting the 8th Army Corps, Nanmao Prefecture could mobilize at least 200,000 regular troops to Zhongwang Prefecture.
Shaodian Zhang's algorithm is correct. As long as the Eighth Army and a new army arrive in Zhongwangzhou, they will definitely be able to open up the passage to Hailin State. Even if it cannot be opened, they can still contain more of the rebel forces.
Shaodianshi said in a strange tone: "Nanma Prefecture, you have the nerve to mention Nanma Prefecture, why is the Commander-in-Chief of the General Staff not coming back for so long? Some of you ministers should congratulate Shaodian Luan on giving birth to a child."
"Rebellion in Nanzhao Prefecture must be eradicated! No one is allowed to engage in fornication and rebellion." Zipi took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
The hall fell silent and no one took up the topic.
"Commander Long, what do you think?" Shaodianshi called his name on the spot.
Long Kun cleared his throat and said, "Looking at the battle situation alone, Ding Kui's elimination of several legions of his own country has indirectly alleviated the pressure on the Zhongwangzhou theater. The garrison in Nanmazhou can also prevent Meng and Cao from having different intentions."
"In my opinion, the eldest princess and the consort have nothing to do with the battle of Luguo County. As for the matter of rebellion, my ancestors have taught me that I dare not speak rashly. Please forgive me, Your Highness." He borrowed the ancestral training to support him.
Went back.
Everyone knows the ancestral precept that the inherited family should not get involved in the struggle for the throne, and the regent prince cannot force others to violate the ancestral precept.
"Your Highness the Prince! The Bao family does not seek to hold anyone accountable, they only hope to take back Hailin Prefecture as soon as possible!" Bao Tu stood up again.
