Chapter 162 Chang'an Security Line attacks, causing chaos in northwest Shanxi!

Almost at the same time.

Ord County, Choctaw County, Palm County, Kana County, and even Stone County, where the coalition base camp is located, under the River Valley Province, sounded the alarm at the same time and were invaded by the Chang'an army.

Save yourself the smoke everywhere.

"General?"

Staff Officer Mike was also a little panicked and turned to look at Douglas.

"calm!"

Douglas looked grim, "The most important thing right now is to find out which group of troops from Chang'an are attacking each county, and how many troops there are in each group. Don't be frightened by Chang'an's ecstasy array."

With Chang'an's military strength, it stands to reason that it would be impossible to attack across the board.

There is definitely some fiction and some reality.

"clear!"

Mike was also very human and immediately turned around and left. He wanted to personally supervise the intelligence collection.

"Chang'an, Chang'an!"

After Mike left, Douglas looked at the map of the River Valley Province alone in a daze.

It’s difficult!

He was now basically certain that the ones who attacked Gushan Fortress and the eastern part of Tara Province must be Grant's troops. Otherwise, Chang'an would not have the strength to launch a full-scale attack.

"only."

Douglas shuddered when he thought of Ord County and Stone County being attacked at the same time, and how fast the time was, almost simultaneously with the attack on Gushan Fortress.

What does this mean?

This shows that Chang'an and Grant had basically discussed it in advance, and both sides made plans and launched attacks at the same time.

The issue is--

How did Grant and Chang'an establish such deep mutual trust?

For Grant, while leading his troops to attack Gushan Fortress with all his strength, he left his base camp of Pelican County completely undefended at Chang'an.

This is like walking a tightrope.

If one operation is not done well, the lair will be taken over by Changan.

Why is Grant so confident?

This was something Douglas had never imagined before, and the situation suddenly turned ugly.

as expected.

Not long after Mike left, bad news came one after another.

First, Palm County and Cana County in the east were attacked by the enemy Flying Bear Legion "as scheduled". Faced with the coalition's guerrilla tactics, the Flying Bear Legion adopted the most "clumsy" response strategy -

Side push!

Starting from the border line, an attack link is established, like a bulldozer, unhurried and unhurried, one village after another, one township after one township.

It's quite a bit like a big sweep.

Every time the Flying Bear Legion destroys a territory stele, it is equivalent to destroying a node for the coalition's mail transmission, constantly compressing the coalition's activity space.

The so-called guerrilla tactics will naturally be ineffective.

If this were the case, it would not actually be considered a failure for the coalition forces. The fundamental purpose of Douglas's adoption of guerrilla tactics was to delay the Chang'an offensive.

Buy enough time to build the city.

The Flying Bear Legion's "side push" tactic is good, but it's too time-consuming.

Playing into the hands of the coalition forces.

But the problem now is that Pelican County's "betrayal" not only caused a big hole in the defense chain that the coalition forces had painstakingly built, but also completely freed up the 100,000-strong Chang'an City Guard Corps.

There is no need to deploy troops to monitor Pelican County.

As a result, with the cooperation of the 2nd Cavalry Division of the Guards Corps, the City Guard Corps passed through Pelican County and simultaneously launched an attack on Ord County and Stone County.

Five counties were attacked at the same time, which was very bad for the coalition forces.

If all five counties were to be captured, even if the coalition forces bought enough time to build the city, only Norton County and Nash County would be left in the entire River Valley Province.

Even if you keep it, what's the point?

When Chang'an digests the results of the first phase of the war, the two counties will become two "isolated cities".

This way.

The deployment of the Alliance and the coalition forces in the River Valley Province can be said to be a total loss.

No problem.

Douglas could only report the situation to the Alliance Council and let the Council make a decision.

He doesn't want to take the blame!

………

"Grant the bastard!"

"Traitor, shameless!"

"They are simply the scum of the alliance, and the whole world will fight against them together."

As soon as the meeting began, the Union bosses condemned Grant. One betrayal was not enough.

He even came twice!

What a bastard!

Grant's previous mutiny occurred after the Union army was defeated, and it was considered "for a reason."

But this time!

Grant, however, took the initiative to collude with Chang'an and became the main culprit for the coalition's imminent defeat again.

What a cheat!

"I have long said that people like Grant cannot be retained. They want to kill chickens to scare monkeys. But you don't listen and insist on keeping such a scourge. Now it's better. A scourge is a scourge after all!"

"that is!"

"One rat excrement spoils the whole pot of porridge!"

Of course there is no shortage of hindsight and other things.

"What's the point of saying this now?"

The most depressing person among those present was Eric, the provincial representative of Tara, "Now the problem is not how to deal with Grant, but how Grant should deal with us..."

The sudden loss of half of the 150,000-strong Tara Province coalition army is not good news for the Tara Province.

"..."

Everyone was speechless, this was really a joke from hell.

"Douglas, please give me some advice. When will the coalition forces reinforce Tara Province?"

Eric was also anxious.

"I said, with the current strength of the coalition forces, it is already difficult to cope with the multi-front attack in Chang'an on the main battlefield of the Valley Province. There is no way to reinforce the Tara Province. Unless..." Douglas hesitated.

"Unless what?" Eric asked.

"nothing."

Douglas seemed apprehensive.

"Unless the province of Vale is abandoned."

John, the representative of the Ica Province, understood the implication of Douglas's words and spoke for Douglas, "Judging from the current situation, even if the Valley Province can be defended, there will only be three or two counties left."

"has no meaning?"

"Instead of letting the army be trapped in the Valley Province, it is better to take a step back, directly abandon the Valley Province, and use the Ika Province, Bit Province, and Tara Province as nodes to organize new defensive positions."

"In this way, at least 500,000 coalition troops can be saved."

"fart!"

Bronn, the representative of the River Valley Province, was the first to stand up and reprimand, "Why? Why should our River Valley Province be treated as an abandoned son if the war goes against us? Is this fair? Is it reasonable?"

He was organizing and planning to build a city-state in the river valley, but he heard talk of abandoning the province of the river valley.

It would be weird not to jump!
