"The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies ordered us to go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to face the Rakshasa Kingdom!""
Now everyone, get in the car and head west!""
Yes!"
Outside the Yongdingmen Railway Station, many guards are gathering here one after another at this time.This is a corps-sized Guards assembled here on standby.And they will rush to the Anxi Protectorate under the leadership of Admiral Guo Mu.Zhu Youxiao's imperial army was mainly divided into the Guards Army, the Brave Guard Army, and the Tiger Ben Army according to different types of troops.Each corps has now been expanded into several corps.Each corps has two divisions, each with two towns and four battalions each.Below the battalion are 1,000 headquarters, divisions, teams, and corps.And the supreme commander of the corps is the admiral.At this time, after Admiral Guo Mu gave an order, the guards in front of him, who seemed to be boundless and stretched into a sea, began to respond loudly.Voices surged from afar.It wants to shake the eardrums of the deaf.Most of these officers and men were armed with prick-fire breech-loading rifled guns, or a few men were carrying multi-barreled guns and various types of artillery along the railway line.Since other countries in the world still use smoothbore guns such as arquebuses and flintlock pistols, the bullets are still ordinary spherical bullets.Even many hostile forces are still using cold weapons.Therefore, the soldiers of the Ming army still wore cloth face armor or cotton armor.The iron production of the Ming Dynasty was already very high, so the soldiers mainly wore cloth and face armor.The officers were still in armor.However, there are also branches of the army that have changed to wear tweed clothes as military uniforms.This type of army is the light cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.At this time, the guards standing along the railway line were the elite of the imperial army, and ordinary soldiers and junior officers were naturally wearing cloth visors, mainly red and blue.From afar, it looks like a flame."
Get on board!"
As the middle and lower-ranking officers shouted one after another, these guards officers and men quickly boarded the steam train.This went on for days.A train in front was already full of soldiers, billowing white smoke, and at the same time as it was heading towards the setting sun, the soldiers behind had just arrived, ready to get on the train.As a result, the direct railway to Xi'an has become extremely busy.Of course, the Ming Dynasty not only mobilized the garrisons of the Beijing Division, but also the garrisons of other places.Many of the Tiger Army, which was stationed outside the Saiwai and was mainly cavalry, were also mobilized and drove to the northwest.Therefore, in the entire Great Wall, there are trains galloping constantly, and outside the Great Wall, war horses are galloping.The infantry departing by train and the cavalry setting off on horseback were like two giant dragons, taking the Great Wall as the coordinates and rushing to the northwest.Guo Mu, who was already the governor of the empire, naturally did not wait for all his troops to arrive at the Anxi Protectorate before leaving, at this time he had already taken the same train with the superintendent Sun Chuanting to Xi'an.And Sun Chuanting put a new map in front of him at this time: "This is the map of the Western Regions newly drawn by His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness with people in the Anxi Protectorate, you take a closer look, this time against the Rakshasa Country, you have a great responsibility, you need to arrange a pocket array between the Altai Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains, and eat all the troops sent by the Rakshasa Country!"
And the Duke of Heguo is only responsible for luring the Rakshasa State to send troops deep into the area of Luntai (Urumqi). ”"Understood!"
Guo Mu replied.At this time, Li Ruolian, the governor of Jinyiwei, walked in and reported: "According to our Jinyiwei people, the Rakshasa country is still increasing its troops, and the entire west of Lake Balkhash is full of tents, and it is estimated that the number of troops has exceeded 200,000. ”Sun Chuanting nodded after hearing this: "This is a good thing!"
Tell He Guogong that he might as well go deeper to lure the enemy, and he must be able to fit two or three hundred thousand people!
”…… Zhou Yuji, the Duke of Heguo, had already begun to command the Western Expeditionary Army to take Luntai as the central point, set up military stations along the Altai Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains, build strong fortifications, and organize the orderly withdrawal of the army and civilians in Tuntian in the area east of Lake Balkhash to the south of Luntai.But Zhou Yuji did not have a strong wall, because he was worried that the strong wall would arouse the vigilance of the Rakshasa soldiers.Even in order to paralyze the Rakshasa soldiers, Zhou Yuji also dispatched cavalry of different sizes to feint and attack the military stations along the route of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the area west of Lake Balkhash, giving the Rakshasa Kingdom the illusion that he was going to copy its back road.Under the recommendation of Zhou Yuji, Zhu Cizhuo had been promoted to a guerrilla general in the cavalry battalion directly under the Anxi Prefecture, and was responsible for leading the cavalry to attack these military stations.This gave Zhu Cizhuo the opportunity to participate in the actual combat command.And Zhu Cizhuo is also very good at commanding, taking advantage of the mobility of his cavalry, every time he sends a small group of cavalry to attack a certain Rakshasa country's military station, and lures the Rakshasa country's infantry from the station's military station out, and then, he let this small group of cavalry feign defeat, and bring it into a wide area, and use a large force of cavalry to defeat it.The military station set up by the Rakshasa Kingdom east of Lake Balkhash was attacked by him and was overwhelmed.Alezolo was also depressed about this.But Alezolo was not confused by the Ming army, and saw the clues through the frequent entry and exit of the Ming cavalry in Lake Balkhash."
Command the military stations along the Balkhash Lake, if they are attacked by the Ming cavalry, they must not meet the battle!
The Ming army may either still be waiting for us on the eastern side of the Tianshan Mountains now, or they can only sneak attack our Rakshasa country along the Syr Darya!
Sending so blatantly sending many cavalry to attack my military stations along the way is clearly to lead our army over!
And leave a small number of troops to defend against the mountain!
”Speaking of this, Alezolo pondered again: "But what if the Ming army really wants to abandon the homeland and attack the rear of my Rakshasa country along the Syr Darya, which is empty?"
”"It's unlikely!
The people of the Ming Kingdom are mainly agricultural, and unlike my nomadic people, they will not give up their territory easily!
”Burney said at this time.Alezolo nodded: "Even if the Ming army intends to do this, there is little point for our army to retreat, it is better to take advantage of this to go deep into the Tianshan Mountains, or even penetrate directly into his hinterland!"
The herald ordered the army to continue to advance in the direction of Luntai, sweeping to the southwest side of the Altai Mountains, and distributing cavalry along the way to detect the enemy!
”......
"You bandits!
”Alezoro, a large number of Rakshasa soldiers, continued to spread along the southern valley of the Irtysh River in the Altai Mountains, where many other nomadic tribes migrated.These tribes now belong to the Ming Dynasty, and the Western Protectorate is under the rule of the Protectorate.That is, nominally, these tribes were under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, but they had a great deal of autonomy.But this time the Rakshasa Kingdom sent troops, and Zhou Yuji did not let people tell these tribes the news, but let them move away.Zhou Yuji naturally did this under Sun Chuanting's order, and his purpose was to reduce the population of these tribes by the hand of the Rakshasa State, and to stimulate the hatred between these tribes and the Rakshasa State, and then be more willing to take the initiative to integrate with the Ming Dynasty in national culture.Therefore, at this time, many nomadic tribes in the southern basin of the Irtysh, that is, in the area east of Lake Balkhash, were being burned and looted by the Rakshasa soldiers.At this time, the Rakshasa Kingdom was in a period of barbaric expansion, and there was no civilization to speak of, and the people in the occupied areas were mainly slaughtered.As a result, the herders of these tribes were very angry.One of the herdsmen scolded angrily after watching the Rakshasas rape his wife.But soon after he scolded, he was slashed under his horse by the sword of the Rakshasa soldiers, and then killed on the spot.
