Section 15 Bright Sword (1)

Visiting Gerok was not just as simple as being invited by Grand Duke Alan. Wu Feng, who had not inspected the northern defense zone for a long time, felt that it was necessary to re-determine the status of Nantestone. He did not want to unilaterally change the status of the Gerok Principality, but hoped that the Nantestone Legion stationed in Taixuan and Yinchuan Prefectures, as well as the imperial dispatched troops of Zhan Botao, and the own army of the Gerok Principality could relieve some pressure on his defense line in the south, and the appropriate scale and war would also help improve morale and maintain the combat effectiveness of the army. This was his main purpose of inspecting the Gerok Principality.

With the sharp reduction of troops in the southern fortress of the Sithro Empire, it is more than enough to retain a division garrison in Yinchuan Prefecture. The development of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the Sithro people is quite stable. The meeting will provide the fastest feedback whenever there is any disturbance in their southern regions. However, according to comprehensive intelligence analysis in all aspects, the Sithro people have no intention of using force in the south within two to three years. In fact, they have eliminated some non-elite troops and strengthened the equipment and training of their elite troops. Although this change seems somewhat considerable in the long run, at least at present, it has won a short period of peace for Western Xinjiang. Since the danger of the Sithro people has temporarily disappeared, the entire Nanteluo Army, the Imperial Expeditionary Force and the Telluo National Defense Forces, which is still maintaining this defensive posture, is not the ending that Wufeng wants to see.

Surrounded by Wufeng, there are a large group of military staff members, and of course senior officers stationed in Nanteluoke. Kang Jianguo had some opinions about his army being demarcated from the regular army in Western Xinjiang. In his opinion, being stripped from the five major corpses meant a risk of marginalization. The long-term defensive posture in the Nanteluoke area made his army less wars. If this situation continues, it will not only be detrimental to the survival of the entire army, but also greatly damage the combat effectiveness and morale of his army. Therefore, he frequently conducted military exercises in his defense areas, and constantly wrote letters to request the Military Affairs Office and the Joint Military Staff Conference to send personnel to Nanteluoke for inspection of military affairs.

Unexpectedly, Yipanying came, Wufeng personally led a large group of military staff members to arrive, so how could he not be surprised and happy?

After reviewing the military parade and maneuvering synthesis drills, Wufeng did not comment on the combat effectiveness of the Nanjelock Legion. Instead, Bo Jinchen, the second-person of the Military Affairs Office who followed Wufeng, praised Kang Jianguo a few words, which made Kang Jianguo feel a little better.

The area of ​​the Gerok Plain, which entered the autumn harvest season, was flat. The yellowed wheat waves rose and fell gently with the breeze. The villages in the distance were surrounded by smoke, surrounded by woods, and the road winded northward to the end of the horizon. It seemed that it was not affected by the division between the north and the south, and everything was still in accordance with the original life. This was the front end of the dividing line between the north and the south. In order to prevent the Kamans from sneak attacks, a rapid reaction division in Nanteluoke had already set up a fortress to deploy along this area for defense. The two cavalry corps of the other division had already searched along the actual control area to prevent accidents. However, at least in Wufeng's eyes, all this seemed to exist all the time.

After visiting the Luntai Fortress at the northernmost end of the actual control line, Wufeng insisted on going to the control line to check it out so that he could feel the battlefield atmosphere the most sincerely. Everyone insisted but had to agree, but various precautionary measures were indispensable.

"Kang Jianguo, how far is the nearest Kaman stronghold here?" He did not look back, but just stared at the front with a steady look. Wufeng's voice had no emotional color at all.

"Well, forty kilometers northwest is the Metz Fortress controlled by the Kamans, and ninety kilometers northeast is Middle City under the Kamans, a medium-sized market town. Metz Fortress has five thousand-man teams, while Middle City has two thousand-man teams and three thousand-cavalry teams, a total of one thousand-man teams." Kang Jianguo is well aware of the surrounding terrain.

"Well, how is the situation between the Jeroke on the east and the Yulin Prefecture and Pinglu Prefecture?" Wu Feng still did not look back.

Like a male dog who had taken aphrodisiac and suddenly asked about the bitch's smell. Kang Jianguo was so excited that he almost trembled all over. Several other senior officers of the Nantelock Legion and the commander of the Imperial Expeditionary Army, Zhan Botao, who were following him, their eyes lit up, and their eyes were gathered on the back of Wufeng's head.

"When you go back to your Highness, there are only 20,000 Kamans in Yulin Prefecture now, but they are all stationed in Yulin Prefecture and rarely leave the city; however, the number of Kaman troops stationed in Pinglu Prefecture is quite large, totaling around 200,000, and they are quite scattered. There are at least three to five 10,000 teams near the Nanteluoke side." Trying to suppress the excitement in his heart, Kang Jianguo replied respectfully, fearing that something is not in line with the master's wishes, the task that is about to be obtained will fly again.

"Jinchen, what do you think?" Wu Feng finally turned around and his eyes fell on the old man wearing Confucian shirt. Everyone's hopeful eyes suddenly gathered on the face of the old man who had just entered the Wufeng camp from the Taiping Sect and occupied the second position in the Military Affairs Office.

"The idea is certainly good, but it needs to be considered. In my old opinion, since the Kaman garrison is stationed in the city, it may be better to send light cavalry to sweep the raid. Now is the season for harvesting food. The Kaman people must attach great importance to food and will inevitably send troops to escort and defend the grain transport convoy and the grain storage sites. We might as well act at the right time to fight against the weak and avoid the strong. As for the Pinglu side, we need to be more cautious to prevent being entangled by the enemy from going too deep. However, if we can capture the right opportunity or create a suitable fighter, my personal opinion is worth a try even if it is larger. The situation in the enemy and us is subtle now, we have the initiative in logistics. If the enemy is insufficient, we can fight with the enemy and consume it."

The officers of the Nanjieluoke Legion were still muttered in their hearts, thinking that the old man was cautious, to put it bluntly, it was timid and conservative. Unexpectedly, the second half of the sentences meant a battle in the northern part of Pinglu. The officers of the Nanjieluoke Legion couldn't help but exchange gleeful eyes.

Wufeng did not expect that Bo Jinchen's second half of the words were so bold that he actually wanted to set off a big battle in Pinglu again. His original intention was to use one or two small and medium-sized battles to improve morale and sharpen the army. Unexpectedly, the opponent brought him a big guy as soon as he came up. The last Pinglu war attrition had caused his two elite infantry divisions to lose combat power, and his only heavy cavalry division had lost more than half of his energy in Pinglu, and his vitality has not yet recovered. Although Wufeng was used to fighting on the battlefield and died, the losses caused to the Northwest Army by Pinglu still made him feel a little painful. However, Wufeng was not afraid of war. He really had a reason to fight. Even if he lost three divisions, he would devote himself without hesitation.

Seeing Wufeng's eyebrows raised and his eyes were betting on his face. Although there was no word, he obviously had to give a clear statement. Bo Jinchen thought about the words and said calmly: "Your Highness, we have suffered a lot in Pinglu's battle, but I think the Kaman people are afraid that they will hurt their bones. We all know the proportion of losses between offense and defense. This is a competition of strength and will. Whoever can afford to consume it, whoever persists for a longer time will be the final winner. Although the Kaman people are now

The plundering method is used to collect food and grass, but the subordinates judge that it can only maintain their own expenses. If we increase our efforts to sweep, it will inevitably force the Kamans into trouble. In addition, the Kamans are now in a quagmire because of the food and grass problem, but they cannot withdraw at this time. We can take this opportunity to find fighter jets and eliminate the other party's vitality. If this opportunity is lost, once the food and grass crisis is resolved, it will probably not be easy to find such a fighter jet."

Seeing this old man who was not good-looking so strongly advocated another battle in Pinglu, Kang Jianguo and the officers of the Nanteluoke Legion were gasping for air conditioning and were also overjoyed. They wanted to run forward and hug the old man and kiss him, thanking him for fighting for a big task for his legion. You must know that the Nanteluoke Legion has been waiting for this day for too long. Seeing that other brother legions are fighting frequently, only his legion has been enjoying training and exercises all day long. This taste is more uncomfortable than a normal man who has been resting for a year and a half without playing with women.

Wu Feng was also a little moved, especially the other party's words that took the opportunity to eliminate the Kamans' living power was quite attractive to him. Now is the time for the Kamans to be in trouble, otherwise they would not use looting to maintain supplies, and their morale would inevitably be affected. Although his side suffered a lot in the Battle of Pinglu, I believe that the Kamans would not be much better. Just as Bo Jinchen said, if he gave up or avoided fighting with the Kamans because he was afraid of too much loss, he would not only lose the opportunity to fight, but also lay a psychological shadow for his army to avoid war. This may not be much impact for a while, but as the situation of the war changes, when he has to face the Kamans' army again, it may become an important factor affecting his judgment and the morale of the entire army.

Thinking of this, Wufeng couldn't help but admire Bo Jinchen's deep understanding of war. He was undoubtedly a treasure that he could win the other party's surrender. If he wanted to win Fang Chengsong to be worthy of a Hejian Mansion, maybe Bo Jinchen could afford to be half a Geroke. Wufeng thought so.
