"Have you found out the opponent's origin and military strength?" Klebtz asked with a frown.
"The other party is the Canglang Legion of the Haotian Empire. The commander of the army is Situ Lie, the deputy commander of the army is Wang Xian, and the chief of staff is Zhong Dangshen. The total strength is about 50,000. Before Haotian became emperor, the Canglang Legion had always been part of the Divine State.
The Border Guard Corps is quite powerful in combat." A deputy general said as if he was endorsing us.
"Can you go around it?"
"General, the opponent's camp is very cleverly arranged, and it happens to be stuck on the path that our army must pass through. If we want to make a detour, we will waste at least an hour, and we will also face the risk of being counterattacked by the opponent."
Klebtz said with a straight face: "In other words, we must eat them first?"
The lieutenant general looked at Duke Klebs with an unkind expression in fear, and bravely said: "General, if we don't eat them, we won't be able to march with confidence at all."
Klebtz's nostrils were filled with thick breath, and his eyes were full of anger. In fact, he understood the importance of pulling out this nail better than the deputy general. The opponent's camp was built on the road. If you go around it, even if the opponent does not intercept and harass
, and it will take at least an hour more. Moreover, in order to prevent the opponent from chasing after each other, at least the same number of troops must be deployed to hold down the formation at the rear.
However, since Hetao had the foresight to deploy an elite army to garrison here, the opponent would definitely not let him pass easily. Therefore, even if he wasted a little time, he would still have to crush the Canglang Army.
"General Manhatir, General Katherine, you two each lead 50,000 soldiers to attack with all your strength! You are given one hour to break through the opponent's defense line!" Klebtz looked around and said.
"General, please don't worry, but is one hour too much?" Manhatir said confidently. Katherine had the same expression. The Obsburg Empire dominated the Western Continent, and no one could stop it in the field.
Even the Rouran cavalry did not dare to collide with them due to the impact of their heavy cavalry. Therefore, both generals felt that Klebtz was making too much fuss. In their opinion, they could easily defeat him with only 50,000 soldiers.
beat.
Klebuts frowned and said, "It's always a good idea to be careful."
Obsburg never expected that Hetao would deploy an army here. In order to prevent Hetao from noticing its conspiracy, Obsburg did not even send out spies, and it was not even ten miles before the enemy was reached.
Discover the existence of the Wolf Legion.
"Sibu Gaza, if it's an hour late, there should be no problem." Klebuts thought to himself.
When Klebuts led nearly 400,000 troops suddenly appeared in front of the Wolf Army, two uninvited guests were also escorted by the elite guards of Obsburg to Suganev's military camp.
"Marshal Suganev, this is your Majesty's order, please read it!"
"Domenia, Alexander, why are you two here? Did something happen to the empire?" When Suganev saw the two of them, his heart suddenly tightened and he quickly asked.
Dominia said with a smile: "Marshal, please rest assured, everything is fine. I, Alexander, came here this time to convey new military orders to you, Marshal, on your Majesty's order. Marshal, please look, our time is very tight."
Suganev was full of doubts. Dominia was an important minister of the empire, and Alexander was a military general. They were the most trusted people of Nicholas II. If it was just to convey an order, was it necessary for two people to go out together? Could it be?
"What on earth is going on?" After reading ten lines at a glance, Suganev suddenly shouted angrily. Alexander was startled at that time, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down. Suganev was a member of the Western Continental Army
Although the god was already old, the reputation he had accumulated over the past decades still frightened Alexander.
The soldiers outside the tent heard Suganev's roar and rushed in. They just looked at the livid-faced Marshal Suganev, the still-smiling Duke of Dominia, and the pale-faced man standing dumbfounded.
General Alexander, who was on one side, and his soldiers were suddenly at a loss.
"Get out!" Suganev frowned and said.
The soldiers were startled and hurriedly exited the tent. Suganev slowly turned his gaze to Domenia and shouted in a deep voice: "Domenia, give me an explanation, otherwise you will never be able to mobilize all the people here.
One soldier."
Dominia was still smiling: "Marshal, do you want to be disobedient and disrespectful?"
"There is a saying in China that a general will not accept military orders abroad. When I lead a large army to go on an expedition, unless His Majesty comes in person, he has the right to make his own decisions." Suganev said without giving in.
Dominia sighed: "Marshal, since you have read His Majesty's order, you should understand that there is no turning around. You have no choice but to execute the order. Otherwise, why do you think Alexander would go forward with me?"
Come."
"You want to seize power, right?"
"It is not to seize power, but to take over the command of the army under His Majesty's order." Dominia corrected.
Alexander bravely said: "Marshal, we all believe that if the army is commanded by you, it will be able to easily defeat the Chinese army. Of course, if you are not willing, I can only say sorry."
"Bastard!" Suganev roared, and Alexander was suddenly too frightened to speak. He was a confidant of Nicholas II, but he was also an old subordinate of Suganev. It was this old man who taught him how to march step by step.
In war, how to charge into battle. Therefore, even with the order of Nicholas II, he still did not dare to talk back to the old man.
Looking at Dominia angrily, Suganev shouted: "Do you know what the consequences of this will be? With only the 250,000 troops in my hands, I want to compete with China's nearly one million troops. What on earth are you doing?
Are you dreaming or are you going crazy? Let me tell you, the Chinese army is an elite force that has fought many battles. If nothing else, the more than 200,000 troops in front of us cannot be easily defeated."
"That's why, Marshal, you are required to lead the troops in person." Dominia still said unhurriedly: "Besides, China has no extra troops at all. Marshal, you don't know that His Majesty secretly issued the order three days ago
The 200,000 elite troops in Longen City are heading south. In addition to the 150,000 soldiers secretly gathered from various principalities, more than 350,000 troops have already attacked from the Principality of Benn and are now probably reaching the gates of Thebes."
Suganev's tall body staggered suddenly, looking at the triumphant Domeniya, he said in disbelief: "What on earth is going on? Why don't I know about this matter?"
Dominia was also a little impatient, with a hint of displeasure on his face: "Let's put it this way, we have an agreement with Sashan. Sashan took advantage of the plan and took the initiative to fight out of the city of Getis to contain Haotian of China.
China's main army. Shenzhou thought that it had reached an agreement with us, and there were more than 200,000 troops acting against us in the north. Therefore, it believed that victory was guaranteed, so it would not retain any reserves. At this time, Klebtz led
The 350,000-strong army suddenly burst out. Even if it cannot completely annihilate the Shenzhou army, it can still severely damage it. Of course, this plan naturally requires the 250,000 elite troops here, Commander-in-Chief. Your task is to completely wipe out the Hetao army in front of you.
Crush it, and then join forces with Klebuts under the city of Thebes."
Suganev looked tense: "In other words, the peace negotiation with China is just a conspiracy, and I have been kept in the dark?"
"You can't say that, but if I didn't hide this from you, Marshal, you wouldn't be so confident and upright when dealing with China, and China wouldn't believe in our sincerity." Dominia was not happy.
The way of illness.
"Why?" The old man gasped and glared at Dominia: "Hasn't His Majesty ever thought about the consequences of provoking such a powerful enemy? He also didn't think about how powerful the country of Sashan was, and it wasn't defeated by it.
The other party will be wiped out in January?"
"We in Obsburg are not Sashan."
"But we are not much stronger than Sashan, at least we do not have the ability to destroy the country Sashan! Your Majesty is crazy, the 600,000-strong army, let alone whether it can succeed, if this battle cannot eliminate the main force of China, then we will inevitably face
Following China’s crazy revenge.”
Dominia smiled coldly: "Marshal, the total strength of our army, including Sashan's, is higher than that of Shenzhou. Moreover, with our unexpected troops and elite soldiers, we will definitely be able to win."
"War is not a simple arithmetic. There are many factors that determine victory or defeat. Victory cannot be achieved by surprise." Suganev snorted coldly and said: "Domenia, tell me why your Majesty made such a wrong decision.
, is a Princess Santa Fea really more important than the entire empire?"
"Marshal, Princess Santa Fea, this is just my personal expectation. Your Majesty made such a decision out of overall considerations. The Chinese army swept across Sashan and the twelve countries in the Western Regions, and robbed countless gold, silver and jewels. Four hundred thousand in total.
They actually took out two pieces of gold without saying a word. Tell me, if we can snatch all their loot, can we pile it up into a mountain of gold?" Dominia licked her lips, her eyes twinkling.
Greedy light: "The most important thing is that as long as the Chinese army can be defeated, the entire mid-continent will become the territory of our Obsburg Empire."
"Don't forget, there is Rouran!" Suganev did not forget to pour cold water on him.
"Rouran is no longer as powerful as it once was. After we defeated the Chinese army, we can easily defeat Rouran with the power of victory. Rouran was severely damaged and Sashan was destroyed. Who else in the world can stop the expansion of the empire?
"Domenia's usual smile appeared on his face: "Marshal, do you understand?"
"It's getting dark soon!" Uncle Dugu was lying lazily on the recliner. Zhou Jilong quickly served a plate of preserved fruits and said with a smile on his face: "Commander, can we go back now?"
Dugu was eating the preserved fruit leisurely. When he saw Xue Sha glaring at him, Dugu quickly smiled, turned his face and scolded Zhou Jilong: "You bastard, didn't you see that Xue Shuai is here? Why don't you give Xue Shuai a portion!"
Zhou Jilong hurriedly ran out, and after a while, he came up with a plate of preserved fruit.
"Xue Shuai, this is your old one." Zhou Jilong nodded and bowed.
Xue Sha said with satisfaction: "Dushuai, your service is quite comprehensive. But if the master finds out, he will definitely skin you."
"How could my lord know? Who among these bastards dares to file a complaint?" Dugu said with a sneer. He pointed at the Augsburg army opposite, with a hint of pointing the country: "Don't you think you can lie down and eat while looking at the opposite side?
Is the monkey play very emotional? Hey, no, the whole army is on alert!"
Xue Sha also jumped up fiercely, but he said in a low voice: "Prepare for war, don't make any noise, and don't let the other party see your flaws."
Over there, Dugu was already giving orders quickly: "Chu Lianfeng, your Eastern Legion soldiers immediately dig trenches, yes, extend and deepen the previous trenches. Blood Commander, if an accident occurs, our White Tiger Legion will be in front!"
Chu Lianfeng was very confused, but seeing that both Dugu and Xuesha had serious expressions, they didn't dare to ask questions, so they hurriedly went down to deliver the order.
"Commander, what's going on?" Zhu Shitan asked in confusion.
Xue Sha had a straight face: "I'm afraid the other party will make some changes!" Seeing that Zhu Shitan, Zhou Jilong and others were still confused, Xue Sha patiently explained: "Commander flag, have you seen it? The opponent's handsome flag is moving towards the back.
.Do you understand why the son of a rich man cannot sit down in court? They are not like us in Hetao, where once the war breaks out, the generals will rush to the front."
After a pause, Xue Sha continued: "Please note that their infantry is spreading out to both sides, and the middle part is also forming a column. This is obviously to make way for their cavalry's assault."
Dugu took over the conversation: "There is some chaos in the rear of the opponent's army. It is obvious that they are mobilizing troops frequently. Damn it, these bastards from Obsburg actually dare to trick us!"
Xue Sha said in a deep voice: "If Obsburg really has bad intentions, then the Lord's side may not be calm. Be careful, Suganev is known as the God of the Army of the Western Continent, and he must not be an ordinary person. Hey, someone is coming?
"
"Excuse me, who is the supreme commander of the Chinese army? I am Ma'ang Lado, the second-class Marquis of the Empire." The visitor said respectfully, but his Chinese dialect was quite non-standard, and his tone of voice was extremely cadenced, and it was bloody to listen to it.
I almost had the urge to kill him with a knife.
Dugu quickly stepped forward and said, "Commander Dugu Yuming, I don't know why you came here?"
"Marshal Suganev asked me to tell you two that it is getting dark and our army is preparing to evacuate. But if we go back like this, Marshal Suganev will not be able to explain to Princess Santa Fea, so we hope to have a symbolic fight.
For a moment." Maang Lado stammered. Looking at the confused expression on Dugu's face, Ma'ang Lado quickly said: "We only dispatched 20,000 cavalry and rushed in front of you. It was like a drill on both sides.
Feel free to strike. We have no other intentions. After all, Princess Santa Fea is His Majesty’s favorite daughter. The marshal is also worried that returning like this will give His Highness the opportunity to attack. I hope you can understand.”
Dugu and Xuesha's eyes flashed with ridicule at the same time. Does Suganev really think he is an idiot? Twenty thousand heavy cavalry rushed over. If Hetao was not prepared, it would be easy to crush Hetao's camp directly. Then the army would cover up and kill him.
, even if the Hetao has all the power, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
After looking at each other, Xue Sha Nuzui gestured behind him. Dugu understood and quickly said in an official tone: "This is not impossible. But how do we know if you want to sneak attack us? You know, your country's heavy cavalry has always been
They are the invincible lions that roam the Western Continent. Even the Rouran cavalry of Qinchak Khan are often killed by you and their armor is discarded. The sun has already set, who knows if you will do anything dirty?"
Maang Lado could only understand half of it, but he also understood what Dugu meant and said quickly: "Marshal, don't worry, our Obsburg Empire attaches great importance to promises and will never do such a thing."
Dugu laughed and kept arguing with Ma Ang La Duo. Since Ma Ang La Duo didn't understand the language, it was just an excuse for the inconvenience of communication between the two parties to delay as much time as possible. It wasn't until Xue Sha winked that Dugu said with a smile: "
Marquis Maanglado, we also believe in the sincerity of the Obsburg Empire. This is the first time for both of us to cooperate, but we believe that we will have more cooperation opportunities in the future..."
A summary, at least two thousand words long, not only talked about the confrontation between the two armies, but also the current situation of the two countries, and even the prospects for the future. Maang Lado was dumbfounded when he heard it. He probably had never seen it before in China.
Such a hilarious character.
"Okay, you can only rush here, in front of our army, otherwise we will definitely take necessary measures to curb your progress!" Uncle Dugu also felt his mouth was dry, so he nodded and said. Unknowingly,
He actually let him talk nonsense for at least half an hour, and by this time, the sun had completely set, leaving only a trace of afterglow that illuminated the sky red.
"Let's do this, let's retreat half a mile, so that your cavalry will be more powerful when charging. Haha, after Marshal Suganev returns, he will never face any difficulties from Princess Santa Fea."
Maang Lado wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and left in a hurry. He really didn't want to stay in this place. This marshal was so eloquent. No wonder those businessmen in China are so profitable and have such eloquence.
Even a stubborn person has to nod.
As soon as Ma Ang Lado's back disappeared, Dugu's expression immediately became extremely gloomy: "You bastard, I have never been played with by anyone in my life!"
Xue Sha smiled with satisfaction and said: "Commander Du, I have you. In half an hour, two entire trenches have been completed!"
Dugu pinched his chin: "Commander Blood, how far is the distance between the two trenches?"
"One hundred feet! I wanted to expand the strategic depth as much as possible, so I made it a little longer."
"So how much kerosene do we carry?"
"Not a lot. But at that time, considering that the stalemate might last for a long time, in order to prevent accidents, I brought a lot of tung oil and butter for lighting purposes."
A usual smile suddenly appeared on Dugu's face: "Oh, in that case, we might as well give them a surprise!"
