Section 80 Competing for merit
Hoffmann's heart has never been so refreshed. It has been a long time since he was so comfortable. Since he was attacked by the shameless men in the northwest during the Battle of Deloch, he has always been in a state of depression and regret. Although General Miley took all the responsibility, Hoffmann knew that this was actually related to his relaxed mentality at that time, but now everything has passed.
The running all night did not make him feel tired at all. He ran from the border of Fanlin to Yulin City, and arrived at 220 miles a night. He rode his horse to pass the barrier overnight. A team of light cavalry jumped off his horse and became infantry. The entire Yulin Prefecture City collapsed in less than two hours under the attack of his own ten thousand light cavalry. Perhaps the long-term peace made them not realize that the disaster would come from the West. When the Kamans' sun, moon and star flags rose at the top of Yulin City, the heavy cavalry 10,000 people of Hoffman's Second Corps were more than 80 miles away from Yulin City, and the five infantry 10,000 people of even stepped into Yulin City less than 60 miles. Such victory was so easy that Hoffman was a little unbelievable.
The Yulin people who are used to the three-legged bluebird flag of Taiping Cult were frightened by the shouts of killing all night. However, except for secretly checking the reality and reality through the cracks in the door, most of them stayed in the house and did not dare to go out. The Taiping Cult's extensive search for so-called rebels during this period has turned the wealthy families in Yulin City into frightened birds, and a large number of gentry and merchants were thrown into prison. Unless you pay a huge bail, you will be the mental torment of not seeing anyone but death or corpse.
After the bright light that day, the bolder people went out to find that overnight the patrol team on the street had completely changed their clothes. The Kaman soldiers in the poor Tang language had serious faces to ask the citizens not to go out. They all returned to their homes to wait for the notice. Only then did the Yulin people realize that the real wolf was coming, and the Kaman people occupied Yulin! This has become an occupied area of the Kaman people!
"Report!" The loud voice of soldiers sounded outside the door.
"Come in!" Hoffman was still intoxicated by the joy of victory, standing in the courtyard of Yulin Prefecture Zun Mansion, that is, the original Yulin City Guardian, watching the logistics soldiers who were tidying up. Hoffman couldn't help but want to comfort all this. It was true. All of this was true. After years of desire, the horse stepped on the Central Plains, and finally became a reality. Of course, all this was built after his own night of struggle.
"There is an emergency military situation!" Although the interest in appreciation was interrupted, Hoffmann was in a very good mood at this time.
"read!"
"General Nick ordered the Second Corps to retain a team of infantry stationed in Yulin City, except for the remaining troops, without stopping, and not taking off their armor. They cooperated with the Fourth Corps to advance southward and aim for the Qinghe River!" After reading the order, the soldiers immediately waited for the commander to issue the order.
"Well, probably General Nick didn't expect that Yulin City would come so easily. Without the family members of the Tang gentry who were killed by the Taiping Cult, we might not have been able to win so easily." Hoffman nodded and smiled, and his face was gradually fading away. He thought that he had calmed down from the ecstasy of victory, but his words were thrown to his deputy who had been looking up the map.
"The general said very much, but if it were not for the officers and soldiers of our Second Corps, especially the general, you are the leader, I am afraid that the Taiping Army in Yulin City will still resist stubbornly. It is the general who climbed the city to kill the generals and shocked the enemy's hearts and laid the victory. The general should remember the first merit in this battle!" The deputy general took his eyes off the map and smiled and praised his superiors. When he saw that his superiors were a little displeased, he quickly changed the topic.
"General Nick's purpose is also very clear. The ravines in the north of Pinglu are very unfavorable to our light cavalry and heavy cavalry. But if we can take Qinghe, it can threaten Zhongzhou, the capital of the Tanghe people in the east, and swallow Pinglu or even Anyuan in the west. Once such advantages are established, I am afraid that no one will be able to wipe out the three-star flag of our Kaman Empire from this land. However, General, if we take Yulin, we can go straight to Pinglu from the southwest corner of here. Although the horse team may not be able to do it, if our three 10,000-person light infantry sneaks, we may be able to occupy Pinglu before the Fourth Corps defeats the Qinghe Taiping Army and then enter Pinglu westward!" The deputy general unfolds the map and then tilts his fingers in front of Hoffman, and his heart to see through the spirit is beyond words.
Hoffman was shocked and immediately looked at the volume of large-scale geographical topography of Yulin Prefecture that he had obtained. This picture was collected from the confidential room of Yulin Prefecture, Taiping Cult Yulin Prefecture. The detailed terrain was displayed clearly on the large-scale map. From each ridge to the mountain stream that disappeared during the dry season during the flood season, they were clearly revealed in this volume.
From the southwest corner of Yulin, you can enter the northern part of Pinglu, but the northern part of Pinglu is a typical deep hilly terrain, and there are many rivers. There are no roads in most places. However, if you can clearly see a pavement marked from a slightly gentler point adjacent to the southeast corner of the Delok, and this pavement even extends to the edge of the northern part of Pinglu near the central plain and then connects with the main roads in the central part of Pinglu, it is obviously accessible. Hoffman was not relieved, so he took out several other maps to compare and found that this pavement does exist. And he also found a note on another map specifically explaining this pavement, proving that the existence and accessibility of this pavement are.
Seeing the master's general let out a long sigh, the deputy general knew that his boss was a little moved, and he didn't say much, but just lined up a few maps in a row, waiting for the master's decision.
"You said that if we were following the eastern border of Dilok, would we be discovered by the northwestern people in Dilok?" After a long time, Hoffman raised his head and asked.
"This shouldn't be. First, although this road is close to the terroc, the general can find that there are still two ridges separated by them. Now General Miley is conducting military exercises in the terroc, and I'm afraid that the people of the northwestern world have attracted the attention of the people of the northwest. Will he be so concerned about this path that is neither within the terroc but also across the ridge? Even if they pay attention, when they understand, I'm afraid it will be a long way to go. And we have sent someone to find a guide who is familiar with the terrain of the northern part of Yulin. According to him, this road is indeed
It exists, and it is not very rugged. Although it is not possible to pass the car, it is not very difficult to hike. It is just that this road is prone to landslides during the rainy season, and it is sometimes broken and sometimes open. Now it is winter and the climate is dry, so it should not happen to such an unlucky thing." The deputy general was happy and quickly cheered up Hoffman. "Captain of the Corps, since our Second Division was hit by the last time in Derlock, other corps have a lot of opinions on our ranking second. If we cannot win two beautiful battles in this battle, it is probably difficult to block those people's mouths."
Hoffman also didn't know the mystery of this. The combat effectiveness of Kaman's corps has always been shown in order. Dominic's 7th Corps had already been determined to rise after capturing Jiayuguan, but it also lost in the Battle of Gerok. Not only was it not able to be promoted, it is said that the ranking has been determined to be ranked behind the newly formed Eighth Ninth Corps, which is a great humiliation for the entire corps. The Second Corps led by him has always had a good record, but it was in the Battle of Gerok.
The capsized ship and the ranking is likely to decline. Fortunately, this time I got such a good opportunity to go south, which was the time to perform well. However, although Yulin won this battle, General Nick also knew that this battle was a sure victory, and there was no big suspense. So when the deputy just praised him, Hoffman was not happy, but if he could win Pinglu before Hurley's Fourth Corps, the second division's battle to protect the position would be completely won.
However, General Nick gave him the order to cooperate with the Fourth Corps to move south. In addition to his Second Corps, there are three corpses of the Third Corps, the Eighth Corps will also move south together. For the Taiping Army in Qinghe Prefecture, this is simply a terrible killer. Even if his Second Corps follows, it will probably be difficult to get a spoonful of money, let alone a record. Hoffman found that he was tortured by this choice.
"General, we learned this path from the Taiping Cult after capturing Yulin. On-site clarification is also the power given by the commander of a corps by the commander of the corps. Moreover, the Fourth Corps has a third and the Eighth Corps will have problems with the gangs of the Qinghe Mansion? Hurley should really commit suicide." Seeing that the main general was still hesitant, the deputy general further cheered him up, "If the lord was worried about the Tanghe Mansion, I don't think it was necessary. If the City Guard Corps wanted to occupy Qinghe, I would have taken action long ago. I still have to wait until Situ Mingyue was just buried? I am afraid that Yusufu was still waiting for which master to come to power at this time, and how should he deal with him? As long as we take down the Pinglu Mansion, we can cover up all the ugliness, everything can be explained clearly."
