Section 3 Hooked
Tu Da looked coldly at the endless camp tent ahead. It seemed that the Tanghe people were planning to fight desperately, really preparing to have a revenge battle in Qingyang City, but would he give them this opportunity? A grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Tu Da subconsciously stroked the beards under his jaw. The people in the Western Xinjiang seemed to want to use their advantageous infantry to fight face-to-face with them. Tactical terms, this is not a very clever strategy. The powerful cavalry in his hands can be completely used to break through with the camera, especially when there is plenty of time, but the Tanghe people seemed to intend to lure their cavalry around these infantry and break into the mainland. They seemed to believe that their purpose of invading the northwest in this battle was the same as in the Tang people occupied by the Tengri Grassland, with a good idea.
The news sent back by the scouts and intelligence departments seemed to prove this. Ling Tianfang was indeed cunning. He actually ambushed up to four Ranger regiments of cavalry in Qingyang Prefecture to attack his own cavalry who broke into Qingyang. If they hadn't pretended to be in a decisive battle on the Tuqi Plain, maybe he might not have been fooled. Although he was not sure how Ling Tianfang would set up an ambush in Qingyang, Tuda believed that this always cautious opponent would definitely have some special tricks waiting for him to enter the trap. Thinking of this, Tuda couldn't help but smile. Now these are nothing more important. Since the enemy has put on this decisive battle on the Tuqi Plain, how could he not cooperate?
The sun is already shining brightly on the Tenggeri grassland in May, and the strong winds sometimes go east and west. Even the old herdsmen who have lived on this land for a long time find it difficult to understand the weather changes during this period. The small plain next to the Tenggeri grassland is also affected by this weather. The shattered sand often confuses the soldiers' eyes, forcing the soldiers to hang dust-proof hoods that affect their vision. However, the nomadic cavalry who have lived on this land for a long time seems not to be affected too much. They just need to squint their eyes slightly, and the soil and sand will be difficult to see. This is also the most ordinary survival skill that nomadic peoples have obtained on this land.
Tu Da naturally didn't know that Ling Tianfang, who was regarded as his main opponent at this time, was actually in the Xijiang camp tent less than three thousand meters away from his horse head. In his mind, Ling Tianfang, as the head coach, had made up his mind to lure his main force into the trap, he would definitely not be in this bait that was used as a flower stand, but Ling Tianfang was indeed in one of the continuous camp tents, and had been living for several days.
The sandstorm and dust blew from the strong wind kept hitting the top of the camp tent. Ling Tianfang stood at the door of the tent and held the curtain with his hands. After a while, a layer of yellow dust had been covered with the neat cowhide boots. His eyes seemed a little erratic, as if he was trying to figure something out.
"Mr. Ling, Luo Beiren still had no movement. Except for frequently sending scouts into Qingyang, their main cavalry is still moving in front of us, and there seems to be no sign of entering our mainland. Do you think Tu Da really fell into our empty city trick?" Kang Jianguo, whose mouth was dry and cracked, suddenly lifted the curtain from the side door and crawled in. He walked to the desk without hesitation and drank a stomach full of herbal tea in one breath. He took a big breath and put it behind Ling Tianfang.
"Well, it's hard to say now. Tu Da is very cunning. Just because he still hasn't attacked us, you can know that he has not made up his mind yet. The frequent entry of scouts is to find out our details. By the way, how about Qingyang?" Ling Tianfang turned around. Luo Bei's cavalry did not launch a large-scale attack for a day, and he wouldn't sleep well. Tu Da wouldn't be fooled so easily. If his steady style had not confused the other party's thinking, I was afraid that the enemy had already rushed into the northwest mainland like a locust. Ling Tianfang couldn't help but smiled mockingly. Sometimes, the enemy was too familiar with him, which was a good thing, at least the example in front of him was proof.
"Everything is ready to stop. It's really like that when the Jelis organizes it. Put on military uniforms and armor, patrol like a decent person, and fight them face to face with them in an unfair manner. You can't find that they are fakes. These nomads are really the material for cavalry. It's a pity to just pull a man to be a good rider. But it's a pity to not let them be a cavalry. But if they pretend to be cavalrymen of four corps, they have to pretend to be mysterious and mysterious, and have some plans.
It's really hard for them, but they are all smooth, and the martial law measures taken in advance have also played a big role. It is not easy for Luo Beiren to obtain accurate information from Qingyang Mansion now." Kang Jianguo was also full of confidence. Until now, Luo Beiren has not sent troops to the mainland, which has proved the success of this strategy to a certain extent. At least Luo Beiren has been confused by the so-called four Rangers and dare not enter the mainland easily, especially in the situation where more than 100,000 troops are still set up on the Tuqi Plain.
However, Ling Tianfang did not think so. As the commander who coordinated the deployment of the entire Western Front battle, the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy. Both in the northwest and the Western Regions were facing huge pressure from Luo Beiren. Dongtengli County had voluntarily given up, which had attracted criticism from all sides within the Western Xinjiang. Although the decision was determined by His Highness the King of Qin long ago, these people would not criticize the decision makers, but would only attack themselves as the implementer. His Highness the King of Qin has become an undefeated myth in their minds.
This decision to give up his territory is definitely impossible to be made by His Highness the wise and powerful King of Qin. The only one who took the blame was the actual operators. Ling Tianfang didn't care about this, but when facing His Highness the King of Qin, he also clearly instructed to defend the enemy from the Western Regions and the Northwest beyond the national gates, which forced Ling Tianfang to rack his brains to consider how to win the final victory of this war and protect the interests of the people in the two places. It is not only extremely difficult, but also the risk is also doubled.
In order to perform this empty city plan, the Luobei people tempted the Luobei people to fight a tug-of-war and attrition war with their main army on the Tuqi Plain, Ling Tianfang urgently mobilized almost all the Juli men and took out all the reserved military uniforms and weapons in the northwest, allowing these tens of thousands of men to ride their own horses, put on military uniforms and armor, and take up weapons. They desperately swim around the Qingyang Prefecture, posing as if they were setting up ambush everywhere, making Luo lurking in Qingyang Prefecture.
The spies were unable to understand the real situation, and the entire Qingyang territory, including Yinchuan, were fully martial law, so these spies could only rely on the arrival of two reinforcements that they had learned in advance, and the two Rangers retreated from the Ulanji area to obtain a vague plan that the Western Xinjiang would set up an ambush from Qingyang to Yinchuan to severely damage the Luobei cavalry. This information was once again proved by the Luobei scout team's "what you saw and heard" and finally played a role that should be played.
"When everything was settled, no one dared to assert that Tu Da was not someone else. He was the only outstanding general among Luo Bei people who could fight with us. Perhaps his only mistake was that he was born in this era and the nomadic people. Now it is no longer the time to solve everything by force alone. Sometimes military power is not the most important factor. Economy, people's hearts, popularity and many other factors surpass military power at certain specific times. If I cannot see through this, I will eventually suffer a loss. If I were Tu Da, in the western part of Western Xinjiang, I would choose to guerrillas, burn, kill, and loot the northwest, and use their mobility to attack the northwest and the western region. If I were Tu Da, in the situation of so empty western Xinjiang, I would choose to guerrillas, burn, kill, and loot the whole world like they did on the Tenggeri grassland, guerrillas, burn, kill, and plunder, and use their mobility to attack the northwest and the western region.
Northern Luzon focuses on cracking down on various concerns about national economy and people's livelihood and the focus of the public. Only in this way can the power of their cavalry be maximized. This is their best career. As long as this goal can be achieved, whether in the Western Regions, the Northwest, the Northern Luzon, and even the Indian and Germans will doubt our ruling authority. It is not impossible to collapse in some places where our dominance is relatively weak. In this way, not only will His Highness's strategy in the east be seriously affected and constrained, but the enemies who are encouraged will soon realize this opportunity to unite to counterattack. Even if our Western Xinjiang does not collapse completely, we may lose many territory and even return to its original form."
At this time, Ling Tianfang seemed to be intoxicated by some almost nonsensical imagination. His various languages even made Kang Jianguo, who was standing by, shiver. If according to the other party's vision, hundreds of thousands of Luobei cavalry rushed into the mainland, and the defense system in the vast western part of Western Xinjiang could not resist the destruction of Luobei cavalry. Fortunately, Tu Da was not Ling Tianfang, otherwise such an ending would be a nightmare for all Western Xinjiang people, including His Royal Highness the King of Qin.
A burst of rapid footsteps finally broke Ling Tianfang's imagination and Kang Jianguo's thoughts, "Report! Luobei cavalry raided our army's North and South Camps and defeated our two regiments!"
It was like a loud slap hit Kang Jianguo in the face, making Kang Jianguo, who had been boasting about how strong the combat effectiveness of the Gerok Legion was, and how he was defending his home in front of Ling Tianfang, was so uncomfortable that he was burning with fire. This was simply a huge insult. When his eyes moved from the face of the informant soldier to the head coach's face, he unexpectedly found that the head coach had no anger and dissatisfaction on his face, but on the contrary, he had an excitement and joy on his face.
