Chapter 1345 Pre-Battle Command
Xiao Yuanwang's eyes lit up when he heard what Xiao Ce said.
"Father, really...then I..."
Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yuanwang, "Come on, I'm bringing you here so you can come into contact with these advanced weapons... Are you comfortable with all of this?"
Xiao Yuanwang said to Xiao Ce, "Of course... you can let me try..."
Xiao Ce immediately gave up his position and then let Xiao Yuanwang take control.
With Lingxu overseeing things, he wasn't afraid of any problems arising...
Xiao Yuanwang's talent truly far exceeded his expectations.
After a short while, he was operating the machine very smoothly.
With Xiao Ce's guidance, Xiao Yuanwang was able to use the device fluently.
Seeing Xiao Ce's surprised expression, Xiao Yuanwang smiled at him and then said, "How was it? Was it quite fluent, Father?"
Xiao Ce nodded: "I really underestimated you..."
And so they continued their journey at breakneck speed, seeing one team after another along the way.
They were all gathering towards the border, and when they saw Xiao Ce's mecha, they couldn't help but take a second look.
However, thanks to the cavalry force arranged by Yunqing Urgen, they proceeded smoothly without any obstacles.
Xiao Yuanwang was in control the whole time, which made things easier for Xiao Ce.
It's obvious that Xiao Yuanwang is treating this mecha like a big toy...
He would always hand over control to Lingxu when he got tired.
The next day, early in the morning.
Xiao Ce had already reached the border between the Turkic and Slavic countries.
This reminded Xiao Ce of the previous surprise attack on the Slavic country.
Although that battle was a surprise attack, it was clear that the Slavic troops weren't entirely convinced of their victory...
But this time, he will definitely defeat them.
After he arrived at the front-line camp, he saw several familiar figures.
Then Han Da arrived with the Twelve Fiends.
Of course, neither Da Lei nor the others came.
Hu Yidao was also from India, but everyone else had come.
Also, behind Han Da was Wei Wuji from the Air Force. When I first saw him, he was just a child.
He has obviously grown a lot now.
When Xiao Ce and Xiao Yuanwang emerged from the mecha, the group came up to greet Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised: "You arrived so quickly?"
Han Da pointed at Wei Wuji and said to Xiao Ce, "We have an air force, so our speed won't be slow..."
Xiao Ce then remembered that there were already simple hang gliders here.
Xiao Ce nodded, then said, "Alright... then let's go have a meeting."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, they followed him without saying a word.
Then Han Da led them into the central command tent.
Xiao Ce sat in the center, and all the generals' eyes were on Xiao Yuanwang.
Xiao Ce then addressed the crowd, saying, "Everyone, this is my son, Xiao Yuanwang..."
As he spoke, Xiao Ce patted Xiao Yuanwang's head, then said to them, "Yuanwang, greet someone..."
"Uncle Handa..."
"Uncle Wei Wuji..."
"Uncle Xie Zhi..."
"Uncle Axe Bull..."
"Uncle Night Owl..."
...
Xiao Ce intended to introduce Xiao Yuanwang, but Xiao Yuanwang simply called out the names of each of these people.
This kid is really something else...
Because Xiao Ce didn't introduce it, but it's obvious that he did his homework.
Han Da and the others were somewhat surprised and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, it wasn't easy for him to get to know us. You must have gone to great lengths..."
After hearing Han Da's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said to Han Da, "Han Da, this really isn't my doing. I didn't introduce you at all..."
The person standing nearby looked at Xiao Yuanwang with some surprise: "Was it your mother who recognized him for you?"
After Axe Bull spoke, Night Cat kept trying to interrupt him.
Xiao Ce saw this scene, and it was clear that they all knew the news.
Xiao Ce smiled and followed their lead, saying that he didn't mind at all.
After exchanging a few casual words, Xiao Ce said to them, "Alright, everyone, let's begin..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the group...
They were all listening intently, and just as Xiao Ce was about to speak.
However, this environment truly left Xiao Ce feeling very disoriented...
Just then, Xiao Ce said to them, "Gentlemen, it really does feel like the past. The last time we discussed things together felt like a lifetime ago..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the group nodded with smiles, as they all felt the same way.
Xiao Ce said to Han Da, "Han Da, you handle the specific battle plan... I'll just give you a general outline."
Seeing that Han Da was trying to decline, Xiao Ce said to him, "You don't need to decline, and don't be polite... I don't mean anything by it. Firstly, I've been away from here for a long time, and I really don't know anything about the situation here... Secondly, I don't know anything about your weapons. Besides, we've cooperated for so many years, I don't want to cause any trouble..."
As Xiao Ce spoke, he turned to Han Da and said, "What? You've been the Grand Marshal for so long, and you still don't dare to fight?"
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Han Da quickly waved his hand and then said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness...of course not..."
Seeing Han Da's response, Xiao Ce smiled, gave him a thumbs-up, and said, "Alright, if that's not it, then that's fine... I have my own things to do..."
Seeing this, Han Da said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, then we will follow your arrangements..."
Xiao Ce said to Han Da, "Given the current situation, I'll lead a small team to infiltrate behind enemy lines..."
"And you, you just went straight for the kill..."
Han Da subconsciously looked at Xiao Ce and asked, "A feint attack?"
Xiao Ce smiled, waved to Han Da, and then said, "Of course it's not a feint... it's a frontal attack..."
Han Da nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.
Before Han Da could speak, Xiao Ce's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said, "Is the entire East Asian Federation now focused on this side...?"
Han Da, looking nervous, said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, that's right, just like that..."
"So, I naturally have no problem fighting the Slavic nation head-on... my concern is..."
Xiao Ce asked Han Da, "Are you worried about those mysterious forces?"
Han Da nodded to Xiao Ce, then said, "Your Highness, yes, that's exactly what I was worried about..."
Xiao Ce said to Han Da, "Han Da, don't worry. Those mysterious forces won't appear anytime soon..."
Han Da nodded, then asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, this 'short period of time' you mentioned... roughly means..."
Xiao Ce smiled at Han Da, then said, "You've really stumped me... I don't know much about the other party's situation..."
As Xiao Ce spoke, he said to Han Da, "To be precise, although I understand the opponent, I still know nothing about what cards they hold..."
Han Da listened to Xiao Ce's words and simply nodded respectfully.
Just then, Xiao Ce said to Han Da, "Of course, they definitely won't be coming over in the short term. I can give you a safe period of fifteen days!"
"Of course, it could be a month, or even two or three months. But I think the safest timeframe is fifteen days..."
"For these fifteen days, you can attack without restraint! What I want is to make them feel truly hurt... These Slavs, they're all wolves in sheep's clothing..."
Han Da nodded upon hearing what Xiao Ce said.
"Your Highness, I understand!"
Xiao Ce nodded, then looked at Night Cat: "Night Cat, you should have brought all the people you were training with you, right?"
Night Owl nodded: "That's right, we have a thousand elite soldiers and another ten thousand troops coming..."
"However, these thousand men are absolutely the elite of the elite... not only are they formidable in combat, but they are also people you can absolutely trust..."
After hearing Night Cat's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright, a thousand people are enough. We'll head straight to the Hidden Dragon Armory..."
"If I bring the weapons of a thousand men and then send reinforcements, I think even if they send their Iron Legion, I can still fight them..."
"Therefore, Handa will launch a frontal attack, while we head to the Hidden Dragon Armory..."
After listening, Night Owl nodded.
Xiao Ce asked Han Da, "Are they also gathering?"
Han Da nodded.
Xiao Ce said, "Let's prepare for the attack first thing tomorrow morning..."
Han Da nodded.
Xiao Ce said to Night Cat, "Night Cat, gather the troops together. We'll set off after they start their war..."
The night owl nodded.
Xiao Ce originally wanted to use a mecha, but found that the speed of the mecha was actually not as fast as their planes.
Xiao Ce then looked at Wei Wuji: "Wei Wuji, can you use a steamboat to get us across?"
Wei Wuji patted his chest and assured everyone that there was absolutely no problem.
And they said that modern steamboats are definitely much more powerful than before...
The situation is much more stable, which allows Xiao Ce to wait and see...
Xiao Ce nodded, then said to Han Da, "Han Da, I'll leave this to you..."
Han Da, with a confident expression, patted his chest and echoed Xiao Ce, saying there was no problem...
Let him see their progress over this time...
They would definitely win if those variables didn't exist.
And it was a huge win.
Xiao Ce nodded, naturally trusting Han Da. Immediately after he did, Han Da began to deploy troops.
In fact, they have already conducted numerous military exercises.
Therefore, they only need to perform at their normal level, just like before.
Because of the Slavic countries, although they used firearms, they had maintained a distance from the East Asian Federation, so they only used the most outdated and rudimentary firearms...
To Han Da, those Slavs were utterly foolish.
The next day.
The Siberian winds, whipping up snow dust, howled across the vast snowfields on the border between the Turks and Slavs.
As dawn broke, leaden-gray clouds hung low, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
Behind the hills on the Turkic side, a silent torrent of steel had already assembled, its chilling aura almost freezing the air.
Han Da stood in a makeshift command post on a high point, put down his monocular telescope, and casually wiped away the frost that had formed on the lens.
He was the messenger of his guard, the commander of ten thousand Turkic cavalry, and the commander of the Xiao Kingdom's infantry and artillery combined forces.
Wei Wuji was no longer in the command post; he had already donned his armor and headed to his air force assembly point.
"The prince's judgment was correct; the Slavs are indeed gathering. They really do want to come and die..."
While looking through binoculars, Han Da broke the silence of the command post with his steady and powerful voice.
As he spoke, he pointed to the faintly visible black dots on the opposite snowfield, like ants wriggling, and the rudimentary defensive fortifications.
"Shahar and Ries, those two fools, think they can provoke the Federation with their superior numbers and a few outdated cannons? Today, we'll show them that times have changed."
He turned around, his gaze sweeping across the crowd like lightning: "Order!"
All the officers straightened up instantly, their eyes blazing.
"The first wave of attack will be launched by the Turkic heavy cavalry! Objective: To assault the enemy's left flank forward positions, create an opening, and draw their firepower and attention!"
"Remember, it's a feint attack to draw enemy forces in. Charge in, disrupt their formation, and then retreat. Don't linger! Your mission is to force their commander to expose their reserves and firing positions!"
"As ordered!"
The Turkic commander saluted with his hand on his chest, his eyes burning with battle intent. The warhorses beneath them were all hand-picked and specially trained, far more adaptable to the sound of explosions than ordinary horses; these were Yunqing Urgen's trump cards.
Han Da continued to issue orders!
"The 2nd Infantry Division and the 3rd Armored Battalion are equipped with makeshift armored vehicles and vehicle-mounted machine guns!"
"Once the cavalry has withdrawn, launch the main attack immediately from the gap on the left flank! Your semi-automatic rifles, heavy machine guns, and mortars, form a crossfire network to suppress and annihilate the exposed Slavic infantry groups! Armored vehicles will cover the infantry advance, focusing on knocking out their heavy machine gun positions and those clumsy imitation armored vehicles!"
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
The commander's voice was full of confidence. The semi-automatic rifles they were using, developed by the Tianji Academy, had a range and rate of fire far exceeding those of the Slavic flintlock muskets and muzzle-loading smoothbore cannons.
"General Wei Wuji's air force!"
Han Da's voice rose a few decibels, emphasizing the importance of the air force: "They are the key to this battle! Their signal flares going up are the starting horn for the general offensive! Air Force's primary objective: destroy all visible enemy artillery positions and suspected command posts! Annihilate them all..."
