The fourth chapter is like an arrow

Seeing his commander walking into the room alone, He Jing, as the deputy, felt like a knife. Shen Jin gave him too much help, allowing him to grow from an ordinary soldier to this point today. However, all of this was completely broken today. He could not stop him, because as a soldier, Jiayuguan, the number one pass in the world, was captured by the enemy. It is unreasonable from any angle. The powerful ministers, nobles and His Majesty in the imperial capital will not listen to any explanation of your words. As the commander in the war, the only thing he could pray for was that the Supervisory and Trial Institute could show mercy. Seeing that he committed suicide and died in his country, he would no longer hold his family and children accountable.

So all this is the damn Sieg. This bastard was actually an undercover agent of the Kaman. This reality made He Jing and Shen Jin, who had just received the news, unacceptable. The deputy commander of a division in the empire was actually an internal supporter of the enemy country. What did the people from the Ministry of Interior and the Supervision Bureau do? How did he climb to such a high position in just over ten years? This series of questions have been coiling in He Jing's mind, but these are no longer important. It is not his turn to pursue these issues. What should we do now is how to make the Kaman people sincerely implement the agreement they reached to prevent more civilians in the fortress from dying innocently.

Looking at the twin dragons playing with pearl flags slowly falling in front of him, and looking at the rising sun, moon and star flag (the national flag of Kaman is composed of three types of sun, moon and stars, arranged in a triangle shape, with the sun on the top, the moon on the right, and the star on the left), Claudia stood upright and looked up at the flag fluttering in the wind with a proud look. At this moment, the longing of countless Kaman soldiers for many years has finally been realized today.

On August 19, 695, the most important checkpoint in the northern part of the Tanghe Empire was the fortress in the world, Jiayuguan, the world's number one pass, was defeated by the Kaman army. Since then, the Jiayuguan battle ended, and the Kaman people controlled the fortress that firmly stuck their necks for the first time in hundreds of years. In this service, the Kaman army paid a heavy price of more than 40,000 deaths and more than 30,000 injuries, but the achievements were also amazing. Two reorganized security divisions of the Tanghe Empire were annihilated, a total of 45,000 people, of which 35,000 were captured, and 20,000 newly established fortress reserve troops were captured, controlling Jiayuguan in one fell swoop. At this point, the northwest county, Beiyuan county and the vast areas in the western part of the Tanghe Empire were under the threat of the Kaman army.

When the Fourth Division of the Northwest Legion, which was in the west, and the Sixth Corps of the Carman on the east, met with the guard of Taixuan Prefecture City, who was entering the midpoint, received news of the fall of Jiayuguan, he was completely shocked.

Letting his beloved purple clay pot fall to the ground and be smashed, Fielding almost fainted when he learned the inside story. This damn Sieg is a great harm! But how should he face the inquiry from the imperial supervision department and even the military police? One of his deputy division commanders was actually an undercover agent of the enemy country, and he was guarding Jiayuguan as an important position. How could he explain to the people and the military headquarters?

This damn bastard, how could he let the Third Security Division go to Jiayuguan? Fielding even regretted the decision he made. Now that Jiayuguan is lost, the Kaman army freed up his hands and could send at least 100,000 troops south. Even if he receives the support of the Northwest Legion, he will be unable to defeat the Kaman army that unites troops. The enemy can mobilize at least 170,000 troops to siege Taixuan Mansion. However, he now only has a reorganized division and a division reserve force. Even if the Fourth Division of the Northwest Legion that is about to arrive in Taixuan Mansion, there are only more than 60,000 people, and there are more than 20,000 reserve personnel in it. How can he withstand the Kaman army with high morale?

After all, he was the lord of the first mansion. Fielding quickly woke up from the attack and carefully analyzed the power balance between the enemy and us. Now it is not the time to accept the support of Li Wufeng's army, but how to ensure that Taixuan Mansion City does not fall. The main reinforcement force of the Northwest Legion Legion has not yet arrived at Guide Mansion City. Even if it marchs overnight, it will take at least about a week, and its combat effectiveness will inevitably decline a lot. The Kaman army heading south from Jiayu Pass can reach it at most two days. In addition, the Kaman army on the east road, which is less than one day away, must defend Taixuan Mansion for at least five days. Can you survive these five days?

Taking all this seriously, Fielding thought hard, but was still not sure. As a soldier who had experienced battles, he knew clearly that the Kamans had won Jiayuguan and their morale was enough to increase to a division. When he learned that the loss of the fortress of such great significance could also be imagined. Fielding felt the seriousness of the problem.

Forget it, let Li Wufeng's Fourth Division enter the city first. Fortunately, the order to suspend the entry of the other party has not been issued yet, otherwise it would be difficult to explain. Fielding sighed softly, not knowing whether he could stay in this position even if he could persist until he could repel the attack of the Kamans. Maybe the officials of the Imperial Supervision Administration had already prepared the prison car at that time.

Well, I would never have to worry so much anymore. I was over. Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on Fielding's face. His Highness would definitely not say the first half of his words. Sieg introduced it from him. Although this guy was not his strong support and proposition, although this guy had some skills, this guy had no foundation in the army and would never have climbed to the position of deputy division commander in just ten years. But now His Highness would only try his best to distance himself from him and even advocate severe punishment for the people involved. As for himself, he could only be the pitiful scapegoat. This is politics. He fell in the chair powerlessly. Fielding closed his eyes tiredly. He could already predict his destiny.

At this time, Wufeng was still on the marching journey. After five days of long journey, Wufeng rushed to Guanxi and entered the northwest fortress entrance - Queqiao Pass in Longdong Prefecture.

The pass was still there, but the guards had changed. As the entire Fourth Army went south, one division of the Third Army and an independent division were drawn to the front line of the Principality of the Trilogy. The garrison forces of the entire western military region were unprecedentedly tight. Even the garrison forces of the Jinzhong Prefecture had dropped from the three divisions that had been maintained to one division. However, the garrison forces of the Western Military Region had only six divisions in total. It was not enough to use the army. This Queqiao Pass was located in the middle of the empire and there was no particularly urgent threat at the moment. Its defense was handed over to the Longdong Prefecture Security Division. The Longdong Prefecture Security Division only sent a unit of soldiers to station here. Compared with the rigor of Wufeng when he returned to Beijing, it was impossible to make plans.

Looking at the Queqiao Pass slowly disappeared behind him, Wufeng didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. Such loose defense shows the combat effectiveness of the Longdong Prefecture Security Division, and from this, we can infer the combat effectiveness of the security forces in various prefectures in the entire Kansai area. He had long learned about the weakness of the security forces in this area from the information sent back by Gu Dengyun from Guanxi, but today he still surprised him.

After a brief observation, Wufeng knew that the wing that was lined up to see him off was seriously short of the organization. It was supposed to be a gang of more than 4,000 people. It seemed that there were only 3,500 and 600 people. There were even a thousand people in the absence of the organization. Needless to say, these quotas for lack of organization were swallowed up by officers at all levels and even senior officers and administrative officials of local governments as additional income. Even the remaining 3,000 people without Feng could see that the armor was worn out and the army was not in order. How could he take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the Partridge Pass?

Thinking of this, Wufeng couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. With such a thin defense, his troops could certainly defeat him in one attack. It is naturally a good thing for him to march into Kansai, but isn't it a good thing for the Taiping Cult, which is about to be upset? According to the information he has, with the existing garrison troops in the Kansai area, the Taiping Cult can't resist the Taiping Cult's rebellion at all. Once the uprising is caused, Wufeng dares to assert that within three months without the intervention of external forces, the entire Kansai area will have a change of masters, not to mention the way of acting in the Taiping Cult, there must be many unknown secret forces hidden.

All this seemed to have developed too quickly, which made Wufeng feel difficult to deal with. In the six months he was delayed in the imperial capital, the northwest and Luzon were developing, but the foundation was too poor, the development speed was limited, and he was not in the northwest, and many major affairs were difficult to make decisions. However, the Taiping Cult in the Kansai region had already had a very good mass base. With the full help of foreign interference forces in the past six months, the expansion of strength should be expected. Unfortunately, the Kaman people sent troops at this time, which was too mysterious, and dragged their hands and feet, making it impossible for him to get out of the northwest. Perhaps this was a part of the calculations made by the Kaman people. The rapid development of the Taiping Cult power was definitely inseparable from the Kaman people. Wufeng firmly believed in this.

Thinking of the military actions taken by the Kamans throughout the Principal of Delok, based on the information obtained, Wu Feng roughly estimated that the Kamans had used more than 400,000 troops during this period, which accounted for more than 80% of the troops that the entire Kaman Empire could use. Now the Kaman Empire has only about 100,000 troops at most, and it has to deal with the harassment of the northern barbarians. It is really hard to say that they have put all their efforts into it.

Thinking of this, Wu Feng became more and more worried that the Kamans spent so much money, and even the Royal Guards were dispatched in full swing. This plan must be extremely great. Is it Gerok or Taixuan Mansion? Wu Feng tends to Taixuan Mansion. In this Taixuan Mansion, is the target Taixuan Mansion or Jiayuguan? Although Taixuan Mansion seems to be a little more dangerous, intuition tells Wu Feng that the real target of the Kamans is likely to be Jiayuguan. Although the situation under Jiayuguan seems to be impossible to be conquered in a short time, the Kamans do this inadvertently wasted his own troops in vain, but with the wisdom of Prime Minister Gomez and the abilities of several famous generals under his command, how could he make such a stupid mistake? This can only show that there is a huge conspiracy.

But Wufeng is just a person, not a god. Even if he is smarter than others, he cannot think of any problems within the defensive army, and it is a huge problem. All of this is doomed to the fall of Jiayuguan and even the opening of the northern gate of the empire.
