Since its establishment, the Third Division of the First Legion has been a purely Gaoyue heavy infantry division. Although the first division commander Mulige was not Gaoyue, his temper and character were deeply imprinted in the style of this army. He was steady, plain, persevering, and strict discipline and persevering. This is the style of the Third Division. Shan Yao followed Mulige step by step. Although Mulige has been promoted to the commander of the Fourth Legion, Shan Yao was determined to carry forward the style of the Third Division. Especially this time, the countries of the Southern Expedition Peninsula Alliance were the first to cooperate with the former division commander after taking office as commander of the Fourth Legion. Shan Yao knew the difficulties of this battle and had already made up his mind that even if the Third Division fights to the last person, he must firmly hold the enemy in front, so that the main force of the Fourth Legion can successfully break out of the dense forest area.

Looking at the majestic and steep mountains ahead, Shan Yao sighed in his heart. The army of the Duchy of Sulawesi was not enough to worry about. The 15,000 armed forces and the two thousand left-behind mercenaries were nothing in Shan Yao's eyes. However, the adjacent Duchy of Medan not only had 25,000 National Welfare Army, but also 5,000 mercenaries who had not yet set out to fight the Eastern Continent. In addition, the 15,000 National Welfare Army and 5,000 mercenaries from the city-state of Leigong. If he could not completely delay this group of troops, the Fourth Legion would likely face strict blockade from the enemy after breaking through the dense forest area. If the Fourth Legion could not quickly gain a foothold in the Duchy of Sulawesi, then when the troops of several other city-state urban republics and the Duchy of Bali came, the war would be quite passive.

The Peninsula Alliance is different from the Nanyang Alliance. They sign friendly and mutual assistance agreements between their countries. The invasion of any of them will automatically become an invasion of the entire alliance. The alliance countries must support them unconditionally at the first time, including full support from force and economy, so they do not need to obtain authorization from the Alliance Parliament. Once the war breaks out, at least the seven eastern congresses of the Alliance will assemble troops to reinforce the Principal of Sulawesi in a very short time. Although the roads of Myanmar and the Principal of Sulawesi are blocked, there are quite good road facilities between the countries within the Alliance. Although they are only the main trunk lines, this is enough to ensure the rapid movement of the army.

What is needed now is to fight a time difference. Before the reinforcements of the three coastal city-states, the urban republics and the Baliian Principality arrived, the fourth legion that rushed out of the dense forest area could quickly gain a foothold in the Principality of Sulawesi to ensure that logistics supplies could be continuously transported. The first responsibility also fell on the Third Division of the First Legion, which was stationed in front of the attack. Shan Yaoshen knew the responsibility on his shoulders.

The steep and rugged mountain road is not a problem for Gaoyue soldiers. They are used to living in mountainous areas and have a natural advantage in this Great Hengduan Mountain area. Walking is like returning to their hometown, and they even have a sense of intimacy. The marching speed is far higher than that of other troops. This is what Shanyao is most proud of. But this does not mean that the long and long mountain road can be shortened. From this mountain to the opposite ridge, it seems to be about ten miles at first glance, but if you really want to reach the other side, with the amazing speed of Gaoyue soldiers, you still can't get down for a long time. This is the characteristic of mountain marching.

While urging the soldiers to speed up, Shan Yao silently thought about how to join forces with the local Gaoyue militia after leaving the mountain to fight the first battle. The Gaoyue militia in the Duchy of Sulawesi had already contacted the intelligence department in advance, but there were only a few tens of thousands of Gaoyue people there, and only about three or five thousand people could be used. At most, they had some cooperation and assistance. If you really want to fight a tough battle, you have to rely on yourself. The Peninsula Allied Army has never fought before, and no one has any idea of ​​how good the combat power is. However, Shan Yao believes that no matter how strong the opponent's combat power is, he will not be able to take advantage of his division. However, if the power of the enemy and us is too great, how long can the Third Division last for a test of himself. I only hope that the information notified to go up to the peak before departure can be implemented. There will be chaos in the Principal of Sulawesi, and his pressure will be much smaller.

Leaving the Grand Duke's Mansion in a little depressed mood, Silo boarded the carriage under the guards, and quietly leaned on the seat to rest in peace. As the military marshal of the Principal of Sulawesi, Silo not only was the highest military commander of the Principality, but also the commander of the Defense Army, directly controlled the 15,000 defense troops, but as a restraining force, the commander of the Royal City Guard Army was the nephew of His Highness. However, just now, Silo discovered the Great

His Highness did not pay much attention to his concerns, but instead questioned his request to mobilize 5,000 defense troops stationed in Kutterdam to come to the royal city Yada. The most hateful one is Dama, who is the commander of the royal city garrison army, knows nothing about military affairs, but is more capable of fanning the flames than anyone else. He actually slandered himself for conspiracy to transfer the defense troops to the north. This damn pig trick! Xiluo cursed indignantly.

In fact, Xiluo had no definite basis in his heart, but his inner concern came from the request of Luman, the newly appointed governor of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate of the Tanghe people in the northern Myanmar region, proposed two months ago by Luman, the newly appointed governor of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, to open the road from Mugal City in southern Myanmar to Yada City to strengthen trade and economic exchanges between the two places, so as to facilitate the entry of the agricultural, forestry and local products of Myanmar region to more conveniently enter the Peninsula League countries and ship out of the port along the South Ocean coast through the Peninsula League. This request was naturally rejected by the Principality.

The Tanghe Empire's son-in-law Li Wufeng was very troubled in the western part of the Tanghe Empire. Although the Peninsula Alliance was far apart from thousands of mountains and rivers, I heard about it, especially the sudden collapse of the Lang clan. Tiannan changed hands in a flash, and Myanmar land suddenly fell into Li Wufeng's hands, which brought the distance of the Peninsula Alliance and Li Wufeng's territory much closer. However, the transportation in Myanmar was difficult, especially in Myanmar and southern Myanmar, which was even more inconvenient, so it did not attract the attention of the Peninsula Alliance countries, including the Principality.

However, the wave of development that followed in Myanmar and the construction of roads that run across the north and south of Myanmar attracted the attention of Silo. Once the road that runs through the north and south of Myanmar is built, Li Wufeng will never satisfy his satisfaction by staying in southern Myanmar. He definitely hopes to see that the road in southern Myanmar can connect to the principality and connect with the main roads of the Peninsula Alliance countries, so that the economic development of Myanmar economy can be further developed through the window of the Peninsula Alliance. As expected, the newly appointed Governor of Myanmar County sent people to request the construction of the road from southern Myanmar to Yada while building the Myanmar County Highway. This will naturally not be agreed by the Principality. The northern dense forest area has always been the natural barrier and dividing line between the Principality of Sulawesi and the Myanmar Area. Once the road is opened, there will be no barrier between the Myanmar and the Principality of Sulawesi, and will face such strong neighbors directly, and no one wants to see this phenomenon appear.

However, since he rejected the other party's proposal, there has been a shadow in Silo's heart. He knew that Li Wufeng was not a good person, and he also sent people to understand Luman's situation. That guy was the confidant of Li Wufeng's war madman. He was originally from the military, but he only entered the political circle to develop later. Since he had made the request to open up the channels between the two places, he must have been instructed by Li Wufeng. Although it was on the surface that it required the circulation economy, who could guarantee that Li Wufeng would not have other ideas? Since then, Silo has consciously strengthened his understanding of the situation of Myanmar. However, there is no transportation between Myanmar and the Principal of Sulawesi, and he can only transfer to Tiannan through the South Ocean Alliance before entering Myanmar. Intelligence and information are often delayed for a long time. The Myanmar road project attracted the participation of labor force, and the progress is very fast. Although there is no sign that it will be built south of Mugal, Silo has always had a bad premonition.

A recent intelligence showed that the professional engineer troops in Li Wufeng's hands had entered northern Myanmar. It is said that it was to help the construction of some hostile and complex areas of the Myanmar highway. This made Silo's heart as heavy as a stone falling. Professional engineer troops helped build civil roads. Silo had never heard of such a precedent. Could it be that Li Wufeng wanted to use engineers to force the opening of the dense forest area and build the road from Mugal to Yada? Silo was full of worries. During this period, Li Wufeng's mightyness had a detailed understanding of the information collected. This guy's cruelty, arrogant and domineering behavior and his behavior of ignoring public opinion gave Silo a clearer understanding of this person. The Principality of Sulawesi was neighbors with such a guy, so he had to be more careful.

The chaotic thoughts made Silo dizzy. The only hope now is to obtain information from Myanmar sooner. Once Li Wufeng has an army into Myanmar, it means that Li Wufeng has a high possibility to use the engineers to lead the way and force the army to move south. If this is true, Silo decided not only to persuade the Grand Duke to agree to send the 5,000 defense troops northward, but also to immediately notify other countries and city-states to provide military assistance, and quickly recruit mercenaries fighting on the Central Continent. Only when the Peninsula Alliance acts in unification and works together and joins the signatories of the Treaty of Urgen, can we deal with the threat from the north.
