Chapter 381 Jiayuguan
"This time is indeed our best opportunity. If the Third Division had not changed defense to Jiayuguan, I would never agree to this plan. If there was no internal support, we would have to pay at least five times more." Duke Maley, who had always been calm, also expressed his opinion, "I hope our intelligence department's chess pieces can play a big role."
"It should be no problem. Basten is really reluctant to sacrifice him. According to what he said, in another year and a half, that person should be able to climb to a higher position and play a greater role." Gomez explained with a smile, "For this person, the intelligence department has spent a lot of effort."
"Hmph, if you wait for another year or two, you may not have such a good opportunity. What's the use of him no matter how high he climbs?" Claudia snorted coldly, "What we need is people who can play a role, not people with high positions."
"Of course, so we must achieve our goal this time, and we must be absolutely sure to use him. Never expose it too early and lose the opportunity to fight. It is better to sacrifice more people than to achieve the goal. Claudia, you must remember this." Gomez advised solemnly.
"I understand." Claudia also nodded cautiously.
"Also, Nick, you must increase your offensive and keep the Qin people's troops firmly there to ensure the smooth implementation of the entire plan." Gomez reminded again.
Nick, who had a cold face, just nodded silently to show his understanding.
"General Miley, your task is also very difficult. You must not let the reinforcements from Taixuan Mansion, even the Daqin people or the northwest reinforcements approach Jiayuguan. This is the key, otherwise all our efforts will fail."
Gomez's eyes were already full of splendor, and the man stood up, "As long as we take Jiayuguan, the hinterland of the Great Qin people will be completely exposed to us, and the Great Qin people will no longer have the strength to care about the affairs of Gerok. By then, it would be good that they could protect their territory. As for Gerok, hehe. That would surely become an inseparable part of our great Kaman Empire!"
In July of the 18th year of the Apocalypse, the Duke of Teloc, which had been calm for more than three years, resurrected. The Kaman army, which secretly gathered more than 100,000 troops, launched a sudden attack on the Fanlin area in the northeast of the Duke of Teloc on July 3. Unpredictable, more than 30,000 defensive troops of the Duke of Teloc were defeated and retreated to Fanlin City again.
On July 7, the Kaman army surrounded Fanlin City under Nick's leadership, and the offensive and defensive battle in Fanlin City was officially launched. Since most of the army of the Duchy of Tellock had been mobilized to the Jiama area and was preparing to recover the Jiama area, they were not expected to be hit. There were less than 20,000 defensive troops left in Fanlin City, and there were only more than 40,000 defeated troops retreating from the northern border, and their combat effectiveness was far less than that of the opponent. For a time, Fanlin City was in turmoil and in danger under the crazy attack of the Kaman people. The whole country of Tellock was shocked.
In panic, Grand Duke Gerok ordered the Wang Family Imperial Corps, which was stationed in the capital, to strengthen the capital's defense, and on the other hand, to order the two corps stationed in the Jiama area to return to the northeast battlefield quickly and to lift the siege of Fanlin City. At the same time, Grand Duke Gerok immediately rushed to the junction of the principality and the empire and asked the local garrison of the empire to respond quickly. On the other hand, Grand Duke Henry V personally went to the imperial capital Yanjing and requested the empire to provide emergency assistance.
At the same time, the Kaman army stationed in Jiama City also quickly took action to cooperate with the military operations on the Northeast battlefield. On July 14, Duke Mali, the commander of the front army in Jiama area, took advantage of the mobilization of the Telok army to launch an offensive against the Telok army surrounding the Telok area, defeating the southern defense line of the Jiama area in one fell swoop, causing great shock to the Qin Empire. Once the southern line is broken, the Kaman army can easily rush its troops south with no barriers in the middle. Cross the Ram River and cross the plain Pod Plain, you can step into the heart of the Central Plains of the Qin Empire.
In order to prevent the entire collapse of the Tellock army, the 23rd Division, the Western Military Region stationed in the southern border of Tellock, quickly entered the southern part of the Tellock Principality on July 17, and crossed the Pod Plain to join the southern defense line of Tellock in the Ama region. After receiving reinforcements from the two main army divisions of the Empire, the defensive situation of the Tellock army in the Ama region immediately stabilized and developed towards the side that was conducive to the Dellock Principality.
On July 18, the Fourth Division of the Northern Military Region and the Independent Second Division of the Northern Military Region, which were stationed on the border of Beiyuan County, also crossed the border and entered the Duchy of Gerok, and the empire began to fully intervene in the War of Gerok.
Shortly after the two main divisions of the Western Military Region of the Empire entered the southern part of the Gerok, they were quickly involved in the war. The Kaman army in the Jiama area, led by Duke Mali, launched wave after wave of attacks, which made the two corpses removed to reinforce the garrison in the Gerok Ama area, which was pulled out of place to reinforce the Northeast Fanlin battlefield, and the defense line was frequently broken. The Second and Third Division of the Empire, which had originally planned to rest for a period of time, were forced to enter the battle. Both sides fought many battles on the northern edge of the Pod Plain in the southern part of the Jiama area, but neither side could achieve satisfactory results.
On July 22, Kaman's garrison in the Jiama area began to retreat and gradually retreated to Jiama City to defend. At the same time, the main general of Kaman's garrison in Jiama City was also relocated to others in extremely hidden circumstances.
Claudia rode his horse on the road wearing a black cloak, and ordered his subordinates to follow quickly. The rapidly moving troops under the night sky were like a dark and tailless dragon moving towards the dark distance.
After the chief general of the Kaman defender in Jiama City was quietly replaced by Simpson, a veteran who had been known as perseverance from the empire, Duke Mali, one of the pillars of the Kaman Empire, had quietly gathered the Sixth Corps, a total of more than 70,000 people from the country, and advanced westwards in the night. At the same time, the 50,000 most elite Royal Guards led by Claudia, with the cooperation of the 70,000 troops of the Seventh Corps, had sneaked into the territory of the Terlock from the northern part of the Seventh Corps, and advanced along the southern foot of the Zagros Mountains to Jiayuguan, located at the intersection of the Zagros Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains.
Late in July, the slope on the edge of the foothills was still a little cool. Claudia rode his horse up the hillside, and followed him up the horse immediately after him was his deputy, Viscount Dominic, the commander of the 7th Corps.
"His Marquis, do you really think we can succeed at such a great price?"
