Just when Wufeng had high hopes for the Western Front, the Northwest Defense Battle officially began. With the tentative attack, the Luobei Iron Cavalry, which was like the *, followed by the frontal impact. After several consecutive tentative understandings of the defensive system of Western Xinjiang in a semi-arc shape, Tu Da soon discovered that the Western Xinjiang Army placed their most powerful Gaoyue Infantry Division in the middle. This is the safest way to support the two wings and protect the central army from being easily destroyed. However, it is difficult for just one Gaoyue Infantry Division to meet the entire front, especially under such rapid and rapid impact of his own cavalry, they often have no time to respond quickly.

Kang Jianguo, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Tuqi camp, truly felt the bravery of the Luobei cavalry at this time, and Ling Tianfang, who handed over all the defense to Kang Jianguo, also saw the power of the Luobei heavy cavalry after Tuda's transformation.

The former Luobei heavy cavalry could not be called a heavy cavalry at all. It was worn with a crude mail, with a inferior iron helmet, and a spear slightly longer than the spear of the Imperial Light Cavalry, which constituted the so-called iron cavalry. In the eyes of the military of the Empire and Liberian countries, it turned out that those Luobei iron cavalry could not be called iron cavalry or heavy cavalry at all. At most, they could be regarded as mail cavalry. This title was obviously a sarcasm and ridicule or insult to the Luobei iron cavalry.

But the current Luobei iron armored cavalry is obviously different from the usual ones. Although the tightness and quality of the iron leaf armor seem to be somewhat different from the imperial heavy cavalry, and is even greater than the heavy cavalry of the Liberian countries, after all, there is finally a decent iron leaf armor. This is an essential improvement compared to the simple mail that was previously simple. The iron helmet also imitates the heavy cavalry of the Liberian countries and adds animal-faced protective gear to cover the face, which can not only protect the cavalry's face from being injured by the stray arrow, but also enhance the cavalry's own psychological power. The biggest improvement is the appearance of horse armor. Although only a few leather armors can even be barely called horse armor, the improvement of the protection ability of war horses cannot be underestimated. This leather armor can play a very important protective role in important and vulnerable positions such as horse chests and horse belly, especially the defense of flow arrows is quite effective.

The weapons were also imitated by the heavy cavalry of Liberia countries and improved. At a glance, you can tell that most of the spearheads made by the whole iron were from India and Germany. The rich iron ore ore in the Hyderabad region in the northern part of India and Germany were rich in iron ore. However, the Indians' poor technical skills in iron making the quality of their iron affected. However, under the restrictions on the export of fine iron from surrounding areas, especially in Western Xinjiang, the Luobei people had no choice. At least this long iron spearhead is not the same as the original Luobei Iron Cavalry's long wooden rod and an ordinary rotten spearhead. Of course, there are also a small number of iron spears that are different from the quality and brightness of the iron produced by India and Germany. The black oil and dark color are not experts, but they also know that this is the best product. After seizing one or two pieces, Ling Tianfang concluded that this is the special spear for heavy cavalry imported from the Hansen Alliance by the Luobei people.

Although Ling Tianfang had already learned about Tu Da's transformation plan of Luo Bei's heavy cavalry through the Military Intelligence Bureau, he was surprised to see the improvement of Luo Bei's heavy cavalry's strength. As a strategic planner, Ling Tianfang never thought that it was his own expertise in the application of tactics and on-site command. These specific tasks were more suitable for those generals who had experienced many battles. He only needed to determine the overall situation. Therefore, Kang Jianguo took it for granted, but became the commander-in-chief of the front line, and he retreated behind the scenes to observe the changes in Luo Bei's cavalry as an observer.

Standing at the outpost of the Nanying, she made an exception and wore heavy armor to watch the scene of Luobei cavalry attacking. Ling Tianfang wanted to observe the changes in Luobei cavalry's combat effectiveness in the past few years through his own eyes. The formation changes of Luo's light cavalry are still as flexible as before. The riders' superb riding skills are the basis for their courage to constantly change their formation in front of their army formation. These nomadic riders do have natural talents, and at this point the farming nations will find it difficult to catch up. This is the ability given to them by their long-term nomadic living habits.

The light cavalry of Luobei people was still attacking in the early stage. Facing the Western Xinjiang Army that set up camps, if Luobei people wanted to break the camp, the first thing they needed to solve was the three-meter-wide trench, the deer fort and horse-repellent behind the trench, and then they could talk about these two layers of hindering the village wall. The Luobei cavalry, who swept towards the dark clouds, immediately caused a wave of blood and blood in front of the camp. The Second Division of the Gerok Legion, who had been waiting for the battle, assumed the heavy responsibility of defense this time. The crossbow chariots and catapults rolled continuously and immediately made the Luobei cavalry who rushed up.

After tasting the taste of injury, and with the welcome longbowers in line, each wave of baptism pushed past like a sickle to cut wheat. What fell down were Luobei cavalry like wheat stubble. The dark red blood soon solidified in the sun, and the battlefield full of bloody smell was almost vomiting. When Ling Tianfang saw a Luobei cavalry penetrated his head by two crossbow arrows, and his white brain mixed with scarlet plasma spread out and sprinkled with red and white flowers as charming as a scattered flower in front of him, his heart couldn't help but twitch.

The efforts of Luo Bei people were not without rewards. The attacks of the first batch of light cavalry were just to attract the attention of the defenders in the Western Xinjiang. The second and third batch of horses holding round leather shields and carrying earth bags on their hands and throwing them into the trench with earth bags to try to fill the trench. The earth bags that fell like raindrops quickly filled several trenches that were dozens of meters long, which was equivalent to opening the first gate for the attack camp.

Ling Tianfang observed carefully that the appearance of the round leather shield of Luobei Light Cavalry was another highlight. This leather shield originated from the Western Continent is light and flexible. Although it cannot resist powerful piercing weapons such as gun-throwing crossbows, it has a very good effect on preventing ordinary arrow attacks, and is much more convenient than the infantry shields commonly used.

The Luobei Light Cavalry, which suddenly opened and closed, rolled up smoke and dust outside the southern camp. As people shouted and neighed, the Luobei Light Cavalry continued to launch an offensive. The repeated waves of attacks caused considerable damage to themselves and also brought certain losses to the Western Army who were defending. Luobei's cavalry was outstanding in cavalry and shooting skills. Even if they were the main purpose of filling the trench, they still used their cavalry and shooting ability to cause considerable damage to the defensive soldiers in the village wall. Ling Tianfang saw with his own eyes that the two soldiers and many archers around him fell in the rain of arrows of Luobei. The cruelty of the war was unavoidable to either side.

This was only the first day, and the war was so fierce. Luo Beiren seemed to realize the importance of time to them. The Mote and Tubu cavalry organized by Zhou Tinggui on the Dongtenger Grassland clearly played a role. Luo Beiren, who had been silent for so long, finally broke out. It seemed that their purpose was to avoid the middle lane, break through their own defense from both wings, and finally form a combined attack. The power of Gao Yue's heavy infantry left a deep impression on them. It seemed that they were unwilling to repeat the same mistakes.

As Ling Tianfang predicted, the Fourth Division of the Gerok Legion, which was responsible for the defense of the Northern Battalion, also bears tremendous pressure. However, although this infantry division consisting of most Gao Yue soldiers is not a purely middle-mounted infantry division, because a large number of Gao Yue soldiers joined, the division commander Zeppelin not only retained a heavy infantry gang according to the mixed division, but also specially applied to the Military Affairs Office to change a light armored infantry gang into a heavy infantry gang, and an archer gang was replaced with a spear gang with Gao Yue's characteristics. In this way, the combat effectiveness of this division has far exceeded that of ordinary infantry mixed divisions.

Faced with the madly invading Luobei cavalry, archers, crossbows and stone catapults still played the main role. The war was surprisingly consistent with the results of the Southern Camp. However, Luobei obviously sent more troops in the Northern Camp and had stronger combat power. The light cavalry continued to charge and threw earth bags with all their lives. Sometimes a cavalry could even be killed by the dense rain of arrows and stone bullets, but this could not at all dispel Luobei's determination.

The spearheads played the role of the nemesis of the iron-armored cavalry. More than 4,000 spearheads were divided into two turns to throw. Gao Yue's soldiers' strong physical strength was fully demonstrated at this time. They opened their bows left and right and made several spearheads in one breath and breathed smoothly. The thousands of spearheads that flew hard and screamed so shrill that they were almost like breaking their eardrums. Even the heavy cavalry of the Kamans could only retreat to the point of facing this spear that was enough to penetrate stones through wood.

How could the Bei Tie Cavalry strode the edge of the attack? However, Luo Bei's courage was fully demonstrated at this time. By the killing caused by the puncture of the gun, Luo Bei's cavalry was not intimidated. The huge number advantage and the scattered formation won them a lot of points. The trenches, deer forts and horse-received piles in the North Camp were even faster than those in the South Camp. Then the armored cavalry that gathered into a square formation soon launched a full-scale attack based on the breakthrough.

The number of Luobei infantry following the heavy cavalry charge was not large, but they made good use of the cover of their partners. They did not participate in the attack. They only started to play their role when they were under the village walls. However, the hard work of the Western Xinjiang side on the village walls and fences was specially used to deal with the infantry who were strong village walls in the Western Xinjiang. The village walls were stairs-shaped, not only were they covered with defensive killing and ambushing the giant trees that built the village walls with water every day, which made the Luobei infantry who tried to burn the village walls return in vain and pay a huge price.

The first day of the Battle of Tuqi Plain ended with a comprehensive victory in the western border. After paying a huge price, Luobei people only filled some trenches and deer forts. They were bleeding in front of the tall and strong village walls. To break through this, Luobei people still needed to invest more strength. However, this was only the first day. The war would continue and there was still plenty of time. Tu Da, who thought he had figured out the details of the other party, was quite satisfied with his performance on this day, especially the courage and fearlessness of death displayed by the iron-armored cavalry when covering the infantry war. This army that he had personally forged was finally able to come to the front desk to undertake more important tasks, and it was not in vain that he had worked hard to build for several years.

Looking at the dim sky in the West, Tu Da was not feeling relieved. He was not worried about the current battle situation. Although today's battle seemed to be a complete victory in the Western Army, there were only a few trump cards for the Western Army. It was not yet time for his iron-armored cavalry to really play a role. As long as they broke through their village walls, they had to fight against themselves with the bodies of soldiers. That was the decisive battle that truly tests their strength. The enemy's Gao Yue heavy infantry was not large, and in this confrontation, even if Gao Yue infantry was strong, they could only passively defend when facing the impact of heavy cavalry. As long as they flexibly configure and coordinate the use of the light cavalry, they would completely defeat the continuous camp in front of them.

What made Tu Da worried about was that the supply line behind him and the southern line was constantly being attacked by the Mot and Tubu people, and the scale and degree were getting bigger and bigger. He had to draw two elite teams of 10,000 cavalry to strengthen the protection of the supply line, but it seemed that the effect was not very good. As the owner of this land, the Mot is not as familiar with this land as Luo Bei people. Although this land was once used as a bridgehead for the two tribes to invade the northwest for a long time, it became another major battlefield for the two tribes to confront each other.

But this is not the main reason why Tu Da was worried. What made him most worried was the southern line. Although Kurdo was so experienced and calm that he could take on a great responsibility, he thought about it and was facing a wild man from Helianbo, a mountain king. It was a common thing for that guy to not play according to common sense. This made Tu Da still unable to leave a trace of worry. Judging from the war reports from the early stage, Kurdo's arrangements for military affairs should be remarkable, and the Western Xinjiang Army attempted

Using the advantage of terrain to curb the harassment of one side did not play much role. The more flexible use of the advantages of maneuver has caused the Western Xinjiang Army to fall into a busy circle. If the infantry wants to block the cavalry that has gone without a trace on the land, it will only have a chance unless it has a cavalry force of equal cavalry and a perfect geographical location. However, Tu Da did not believe that the people of Western Xinjiang have such strength in the land of the Western Regions.

Tu Da did not intend to interfere with Koldo's command. Since he authorized him, it proved that he recognized the other party's command ability. The early results also proved that the Western Frontier defenders in the Western Regions did not seem to have better ways to deal with this harassment method adopted by Koldo. In this case, Tu Da's requirements for Koldo would be higher. After all, if a hundred thousand cavalry could conquer one or two prefectures or influential large towns in the Western Regions, it would also be of great benefit to inspire the confidence of the Western Regions to resist Li Wufeng and to attack Li Wufeng's prestige in the Central Continent. Of course, all this depends on the fighter jets, and can only be implemented if the fighter jets are suitable.

After receiving the letter from the intelligence officer who ran in panting, Fang Mingjian knew that this battle was afraid that he would face the most difficult battle since joining the Western Xinjiang Army. The two Luobei attack groups were ready to take their place and were quickly pressing towards Anyanji. However, his Anyanji guard had only one division-appropriate troops. How could Anyanji, a town with no city walls and no defense facilities, organize defense? Beads of sweat were gushing out from the forehead, and now they had only one try. Fang Mingjian was not afraid.

Death, he participated in several fierce offensive and defensive battles with the Northwest Army, which was still an opponent at that time, and was a veteran of the battle formation. He was born and died several times, and he went from blood to fire. The King of Hell had never taken his life away. Now he was afraid of death when fighting these nomadic barbarians on the grassland? What made Fang Mingjian feel pressured was that the death orders from the command center and the legion must be held onto Anyanji, and Anyanji must be defended. This is an unstoppable town. It is not a city with city walls and defensive weapons!

As a veteran who has been on the front line since the Taiping Army and has been the current division commander, Fang Mingjian naturally knew how difficult it was to defend this town, especially when the opponent gathered two attack groups at once, that was 40,000 cavalry. The charge of these 40,000 cavalry was enough to crush An Yanji to pieces. Fang Mingjian did not think that he could resist the opponent's attack by leading a division soldier, and reinforcements were far away in Wusun and could only arrive after at least one and a half days. How could he persevere in this day and a half?!
