Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Cao Yuan was very eager for military glory. He had done so many things before, and the dignified commander was demoted to the cook to carry the blame for the march. It was definitely heaven or hell.  I was able to come to Rogda Hills this time, thanks to the help of Concubine Xiao, General Yang and others, otherwise I don't know how long the march would have taken.  Cao Yuan didn't blame Zhao Yougong. After all, he had caused too much trouble. He sent a mountain of food with just a few words, but it was thanks to His Highness's many ideas, otherwise His Highness would have been buried in this trap.  I came to Rogda for military glory, but now it¡¯s better to stay in Rogda Hills and I¡¯m almost bored.  Several lieutenants gathered around Cao Yuan, all looking like they wanted to laugh but dare not laugh. General Cao was really frustrated, but who could blame him?  You can¡¯t blame the Danes, right?  The city of Psk is located southwest of Vilnius and northwest of Mesuda. The three cities are like an iron triangle, guarding the city of Kiev behind. The Suzdal River passes through the north of Kiev and connects to Vilnius.  Since the city of Pusk is located in the far west, it has become a bridgehead to protect the city of Kiev. If you want to seize the Istria Highlands from the west, this is the place you must pass through.  Whoever controls the city of Pusk is equivalent to laying a nail in the western part of the Istria Highlands, which can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating.  The city of Pusk seemed very quiet these two days. When the fighting continued on the Kachivel River, the city was not disturbed in the slightest.  Pusk City can be regarded as a strong city in the western part of the Istrian Highlands, but its overall size is still far behind that of the Song Dynasty City.  The city has a radius of four to five miles, and there are not even ten thousand residents in the city. Such cities can be found everywhere in the Song Dynasty, and they can only be regarded as third-rate towns.  Due to the limited scope of Pusk City and the lack of a dedicated military camp, Xiao Zhiyun could only have people build a temporary camp on the wasteland in the north city.  On the surface, the city of Pusk seems to be unusually quiet. At least the people in the city do not feel the slightest sense of tension about the coming war.  However, in the city lord's palace, Xiao Zhiyun looked at the map on the table solemnly. Just half an hour ago, the scouts and the intelligence office sent news that a large number of cavalry were found near the Leye River in the south.  The Rey River is less than fifty miles away from Pusk City. If the elite cavalry is advancing at full speed, they will definitely be able to reach the city within three hours.  In other words, the opponent is very close to Pusk City and has entered the range to launch a night attack.  The intelligence office and the scouts sent urgent reports at the same time, so the possibility of the information being wrong was very small.  It was not surprising that the Germans intended to attack the city of Pusk. What troubled Xiao Zhiyun was where the German cavalry was hiding.  Except for the low hills, the rest of the area around the Reye River was covered with vast withered yellow grassland, with no place to hide.  It is one thing to know the enemy, but it is another thing not to be able to find the enemy. Xiao Zhiyun did not expect that the Germans would hide so tightly. This was a large number of cavalry.  To attack the city of Pusk, if the number of people is small, it will definitely not be enough.  If you can't find traces of the enemy, you won't be able to figure out the opponent's specific intentions, and you won't be able to adapt to changes.  Xiao Zhiyun had to be cautious and arrogant, which might cause her boat to capsize in the ditch. "Send all the scouts out and focus on searching the hills west of the Leye River to find traces of the enemy." Xiao Zhiyun felt that she was blind and deaf now.  , and the Germanic cavalry are assassins hiding in the dark.  Ren Fe and others all looked gloomy. After a large number of cavalry arrived at the Reye River, they unexpectedly lost their traces. How did the Germans do it?  In fact, these are not important. The most important thing is where it is hidden. The city of Pusk is too dangerous right now.  In the hall, in addition to Ren Fe and other Han commanders and governors, there was also a Slavic man with a big face and blond hair. This man's name was Nokikav.  Because of his outstanding strategic and military talents, Zhao Yougong personally promoted him to become a deputy commander of the Second Military Camp. Nokikav became the only Slav to hold the important position of commander.  Nokikafu's brows moved, as if he had something to say, but he hesitated and swallowed it back.  Xiao Zhiyun concentrated and noticed the change in Nokikav's expression. She could guess why Nokikav hesitated. As the only Slavic general qualified to discuss matters, he was surrounded by either Han or Mongolians. As a newcomer,  There must be many concerns.  Xiao Zhiyun raised her head, gave everyone a smile, then looked at Nokikafu and said harmoniously, "General Nokikafu, now that you have entered the hall, everyone is one of your own. His Highness promoted you to be the deputy commander because of his hope.  You can advise on military affairs. If you have any opinions, it¡¯s okay to say it. There is no need to worry.¡± Nokikafu smiled and nodded, approached the round table, stretched out his hand and placed the map in the middle, and then spoke eloquently, ¡°Princess, everyone.  Colleagues, I traveled along the Suzdal River throughout the western part of the Istrian Highlands four years ago, and I can say that I am quite familiar with the situation near the Reye River. I can guarantee that there is no way to hide a large number of cavalry near the Reye River.  , the hills to the west seem to have a lot of depressions, but the roads are rough, and people can hide in them, but where are the horses? So, I have an idea, could the traces of cavalry near the Reye River be a cover-up?  There is no shortage of veterans on the battlefield.For these cavalry talents, everyone must have heard of some methods that only require a small amount of cavalry to create traces of a large number of cavalry.  If the opponent only sends a small number of cavalry to create traces to confuse us, after completing the task, the small number of cavalry only need to be broken into pieces, change their clothes, and then quickly disappear from our sight.  " After listening to Nokikafu's words, everyone felt suddenly enlightened. Everyone focused on finding a large number of cavalry, and they were always thinking about where the opponent was hiding. But if there is no so-called large number of cavalry, then of course  I couldn't find it. Ren Feo had accompanied Wu Jie to conquer the Chai family in his early years, and he himself had a lot of research on cavalry. He believed that what Nokikafu said could be realized. It only needed a hundred cavalry and it would take an hour.  Creating traces of more than 5,000 people passing by. Xiao Zhiyun was also thinking about Nokikafu's words. In any case, Nokikafu's idea was very possible. Ren Feol rubbed his forehead and never left the map.  "General Nokikav's words are very reasonable, but there seems to be a problem. If the Germans have no intention of stationing in the Reye River, then why do they want to create traces in the Reye River? What is the point of doing so? Just for the sake of  Tell us, they are already here?  " Nokikafu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He couldn't understand this. "General Ren is right, but I think since the other party did this, it must have a purpose. The Germans will not do it in vain.  things.  It's just that we haven't been able to see through it yet. Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that the German cavalry has been hiding near the Reye River, but this possibility is slim, unless these Germans will become invisible.  " Invisible? That's a joke. No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to hide so many people and horses tightly. You must know that in order to find traces of the Germans, Pusk City not only sent hundreds of scouts, but also Tang  With the help of Miao's secret intelligence department and the help of the surrounding Slavic people, even a flock of crows flying from the sky could not be avoided. Xiao Zhiyun didn't think the Germans knew any invisibility skills. What on earth were these Germans going to do?  No matter how clever the marching formation is, there are traces to follow. Xiao Zhiyun once heard Zhao Yougong talk about a theory. If you can't guess the opponent's method, then use the stupidest method to eliminate the many targets in this area.  , there are not too many targets worthy of the Germans. Mesuda City, Vilnius City, and Pusk City. Yang Zaixing and a large number of troops are stationed near Mesuda City, so this place can be eliminated directly. Vilnius City is far away and cannot be used.  It is unlikely that it is suitable for a raid. The only thing left is Pusk City. But if it is Pusk City, why would the Germans create an illusion in the Leye River? Isn't it unnecessary? No, something must have been overlooked. Suddenly Xiao Zhiyun's.  Her face became very ugly. She stared at Ren Fe and asked anxiously, "Where is Yelusha's headquarters stationed? When was the latest military report sent?  " Ren Fe was stunned, but replied seriously, "Replying to the princess, the news just arrived yesterday evening. General Yelu's headquarters is stationed in the Tanpo grassland in the southeast, about eighty miles away from Pusk City.  According to the previous plan, General Yelu will leave the Tanpo grassland in these two days and station himself near the Ryazan River forty miles away, forming a rivalry with our troops.  " Ren Fe didn't think anything was wrong when he said it, but after he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. He half-opened his mouth and whispered in disbelief, "Princess, are you worried that the Germans will sneak attack General Yelu's army?  ?  Isn't this impossible?" Xiao Zhiyun smiled coldly, clenched her fists, and lightly pounded the table, "Huh, what's impossible?  Even we didn¡¯t expect that Yelusha would be unprepared.  It is true that Yelusha had nearly five thousand elite troops under his command, but the strength of the German cavalry should not be underestimated.  One side comes prepared and launches a sneak attack, while the other side is unprepared. Once the Germans attack the Ryazan River at night and suddenly rush up from the south while Yelusea's troops are not yet stable, do you think Yelusea can withstand it?  There is danger on the other side of Yelusea, and we must rush to help Yelusea. By then, the Germans will be able to easily capture the city of Pusk.  " The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and nothing is impossible. Xiao Zhiyun is worried, but after all, she does not understand the situation around Pusk City, so she can only place her hope on Nokikav, "General Nokikav, what do you think about Pusk?  I am quite familiar with the area near the city of Sk, but I wonder if there is any way to directly reach the Ryazan River from the south of the Reye River?  " The hall was full of veteran generals in the army. Everyone knew what the consequences of the Germanic surprise attack on the Ryazan River would be, so for a moment everyone looked serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Nokikav couldn't help but be shocked by Xiao Zhiyun's judgment.  , and also admired the courage of the Germans. Nokikav did not look at the map. He thought carefully. The map was too simple. Many places near Pusk City were not marked, so he could only find them from memory.  Nokikafu, for fear of interrupting his thoughts, did not know how long it took, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe an hour,??For Xiao Zhiyun and others, it seems like they have been waiting for millions of years.  Nokikav frowned and pointed heavily at the southeast corner of the Reye River. "Look here, everyone, the Reye River is a branch of the Suzdal River. It forms a fork here, which the locals call a cross. From  There is a red pine forest to the north of the cross. After the rainy season, the soil in the red pine forest is soft and muddy, making it impossible for the cavalry to pass. But now in autumn, the water level of the cross has dropped, and the soil in the red pine forest has gradually become hard. If the Germans want to.  The raid on the Ryazan River must have gone through the red pine forest." After hearing Nokikav's words, the commander Chen Qisheng showed an expression of disbelief and said with a big mouth, "This is unlikely, Princess, the general has been there before.  When passing through the red pine forest, I almost fell into it when I stepped on it. It was like a swamp. Even if the soil was hard, it would be impossible for a large number of cavalry to pass through. This is wrong. Is there a hidden road in the red pine forest? " "There should be a way.  Yes, I heard in the early years that someone could pass through the red pine forest and transport urgently needed goods to the city of Vilnius for sale." Nokikav nodded with certainty. He had doubted this rumor before, but now,  He was almost 100% sure.  There must be an unknown road in the red pine forest. Along this road, one can pass through the muddy forest smoothly.  Xiao Zhiyun did not hesitate for a moment and told the soldiers, "Send someone to the red pine forest immediately to check. Search all within a five-mile radius of the intersection. Don't let go of any clues. If you find anything, report it immediately." The scouts have been sent out.  , due to insufficient manpower, a part of the cavalry was specially dispatched from the Beicheng Camp to search the red pine forest.  Although things were generally clear, no one left. Everyone stayed in the city lord's mansion, patiently waiting for news from the scouts.  In the evening, the scouts searching the Reye River sent news. After searching for a long time, they still found nothing. The Germans seemed to have disappeared from the world.  Only half an hour later, the cavalry who went to the red pine forest hurried back, "Report to the princess, there are signs of a large number of soldiers and horses stationed at the intersection, there are a lot of horse manure in the river mouth depression, and there are also signs of horse manure outside the red pine forest.  There were a lot of horse hoof prints. Judging from the horse hoof prints, this group of cavalry had already gone north. "Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and finally caught this group of German cavalry.  Ren Fe and others looked at each other, it was really unbelievable that the Germans actually passed through the red pine forest. No wonder they couldn't find each other in the past two days, they actually hid in the red pine forest.  Everyone has always regarded the red pine forest as the tomb of the cavalry. They never thought that the cavalry could pass there, so they missed it during the search.  It is an unchangeable fact that the Germans passed through the red pine forest. Once this cavalry raids the Ryazan River, the consequences will be disastrous. "Princess, what should we do now? According to the itinerary, the Germans are much faster than us." Xiao Zhiyun has no trace.  Hesitation, once you see the other party's specific strategy clearly, there is nothing to worry about.  In Xiao Zhiyun's view, no matter how powerful the opponent is, it will be much easier to deal with once it is placed in the open. "Yelusha's army has two thousand iron pagodas, nearly two thousand light cavalry, and more than a thousand infantry. With Yelusha's ability,  , Not to mention blocking the German sneak attack, but it will definitely last until we go to the rescue. Ren Phen and Nokikav listen to the order. You two quickly mobilize all the cavalry and rush to the Ryazan River immediately. You must reach the Ryazan River before tomorrow's ugly time.  "    Um?  Everyone was stunned at the same time. Nokikav thought he heard wrongly. If all the cavalry were sent out, would it be equivalent to giving up the offensive capability and relying on the thousands of infantry to defend the city of Pusk?  The more Nokikav thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. However, as a Slav, even if he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to ask directly. But Ren Fe didn't have so many taboos. He frowned and asked, "Princess, please send all the cavalry  If they are all transferred, what will happen to Pusk City? " "Have I said that I will defend Pusk City? Okay, don't ask so many questions. Time is urgent, and it is only right to send troops quickly. Since I have arranged it this way, it is natural.  My plan." Xiao Zhiyun waved her hand and did not intend to explain too much.  Seeing Xiao Zhiyun's attitude, Ren Fe and others did not ask any more questions. They issued the order and the entire city of Pusk became busy. The soldiers in the Beicheng military camp just ate some hastily, then gathered together and left with Ren Fe and others.  The city of Pusk.  After the cavalry left, Xiao Zhiyun ordered Chen Qisheng to lead the infantry from behind. The people of Pusk City were also herded out of the city. In just two hours, the city of Pusk turned into an empty city.  No one is willing to leave their hometown and give up their homeland, but in the face of the steel swords and spears that are destined to kill them, the Slavic people can only swallow their anger. After all, as long as people are alive, there is hope.  In the north of Pusk City, a huge cavalry was slowly advancing. Ren Feol was sitting on the horse with his brows furrowed. He had been thinking about Xiao Zhiyun's words, what on earth did the princess want to do?  Next to him, Nokikafu was very calm. He was focused on marching and didn't think much at all. Ren Fe came closer and lowered his voice and said, "General Nokikafu, have you figured it out?" "That's right. In fact, the princess has already told  WeThe case is over, the princess has never thought of defending the city of Pusk, which means that the city of Pusk can be given up." Look at the dim sky in the distance, the stars are dotted on both sides of the Milky Way, empty and distant, just like Xiao Zhiyun's  The heart is unfathomable, "I didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it carefully afterwards, I finally understood what the princess meant.  From the beginning, the so-called heavy military garrison in Psk City was just a cover. Kiev City had long made plans to abandon the defense of Psk City.  General Ren, have you ever thought about why the Germans dared to attack the Istria Highlands blatantly even though they were clearly inferior to us?  Because the Istria Highlands are too large, they have a large number of cavalry, and they can advance and retreat freely. They can fight when they want and leave when they want. Although we have sufficient troops, the army reorganization is not over yet, and we simply cannot take care of the entire situation in a short period of time.  Istria Highlands.  In this case, we might as well take the initiative to give up some places. In the north, we take the initiative to give up the Yelinburg area. In the Istria Highlands, we can also give up the defense of Pusk City.  The Germans have no scruples, so they attack everywhere unscrupulously, but once they capture the city of Pusk, it is equivalent to carrying a heavy treasure, and the Germans will go to great lengths to protect this treasure.  Just abandoning the defense of one city, but it can firmly drag the Germans near Pusk, and they can no longer attack as unscrupulously as before, and can advance and retreat freely.  " Speaking of this, Nokikav was full of admiration for the big shots sitting in Kiev. This kind of strategic deployment has gone beyond simple military tactics and requires inhuman foresight. At least he Nokikav  Kafu is still far away. War is not about the gain or loss of one city or one place. Sometimes giving up is also a kind of gain. Flexibility and freedom of advance and retreat are the strengths and advantages of the Germans, but a city of Pusk.  It can erase the Germanic people's strengths. The city of Pusk is too important. Once they get the city of Pusk, the Germans will use this city as a bridgehead to attack the Istria Highlands, and they will definitely send heavy troops to guard it.
