Chapter 163 Douglas offers advice, will the alliance switch from defense to offense?

"Grant is indeed a hidden danger."

Bronn moved Grant out, and the alliance lords all became silent.

What a disaster!

"I think it is best to try to have a direct interview with Grant now to find out why Grant was able to achieve such mutual trust with Chang'an and what he wants."

Douglas, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, spoke at the right time.

It can be said that the forces represented by Grant have become a key link in the national war.

Must be cautious.

"yes."

Gale, the lord of Xihai County, spoke up, "After all, Grant is one of us Aztecs, but he was forced to cooperate with Chang'an. There must be something hidden in this."

"What's the secret? Grant is a traitor. This is absolutely certain."

Some lords were unable to turn the corner.

"Yes, Grant is morally flawed. The problem now is that if we don't fight for Grant, Grant will continue to fall to Chang'an. Is this what we want to see?"

Gale is a realist.

"Is there no other way? The Alliance's initiative to contact Grant is itself a kind of connivance to Grant." Now it was the turn of Eric, the representative of the Province of Tara, to be dissatisfied.

Grant's troops are still wreaking havoc in the province of Tara.

Just let it go so lightly?

"What can be done?" Gale asked.

Douglas was a thief, he just asked questions and then chose to remain silent.

Let the lords tear each other apart.

"Don't the coalition forces want to withdraw from the Valley Province? Why can't they withdraw to the Tara Province first? With the strength of the coalition forces, plus our coalition forces in the Tara Province, it is not difficult to defeat the Grant Department and recapture the Gushan Fortress, right?

?”

Eric wanted to use his strength to fight.

With the help of the coalition forces, Grant's hidden danger was eliminated in one fell swoop.

"Wouldn't it be a joke for Chang'an to watch the internal fighting in the alliance? Besides, if Grant's troops retreat to the Gushan Fortress, even with the strength of the alliance, they may not be able to easily win it, right?"

Gale still disagrees with internal friction, as there are too many variables.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Eric also refused to give in. "When dealing with traitors like Grant, we should deal with them harshly without leaving any consequences. Lest others follow suit in the future."

There is a saying that goes well, bigu determines the brain.

Although the establishment of the alliance council has made the alliance's decision-making and deliberations more efficient, each council member still handles crises from his or her own standpoint.

representative.

It is still the interests of each province.

This is very Aztec.

"No, is it such a hasty decision for the coalition forces to withdraw from the Valley Province?" Seeing that Gale and Eric were arguing, Bronn became anxious.

The building is crooked.

"Half a million coalition troops, plus 100,000 provincial coalition troops in our valley province, the Chang'an attack has not even been fought yet, and they retreated in such a dejected manner. Is this reasonable?"

"It would be really embarrassing if we just give up without a fight, right?"

Bronn also took the risk.

"Now we avoid the war and wait until the demonic tide ends and the two main battle armies of Chang'an return. What will happen?"

"Avoid fighting too?"

"Uh, this..."

After being reminded by Bronn, all the lords remembered that the Chang'an army currently competing with them was only temporarily formed by Chang'an using prisoners of war from the coalition forces.

The elite troops in Chang'an that really frightened the coalition forces are still waiting in the Beiluo Mountains.

But the evil tide will eventually end.

When the two main battle armies from Chang'an return, will the second defense chain prepared by the alliance really be that stable?

No one dares to guarantee it.

The Alliance can't pin its hopes on saying that the two armies of Chang'an fell in the Beiluo Mountains, right?

That's too naive!

"Even if we say that Chang'an is not in a hurry to break through the second defense chain, once Chang'an occupies the entire valley province, what kind of development opportunities will Chang'an get with the land of a province?"

"Even if it's a confrontation and fighting for development speed, will the alliance definitely be able to beat Chang'an?"

Bronn continued to bewitch.

"Don't forget, during the Battle of Chang'an, the real development space that Chang'an occupied was only half of Haiwan County. Compared with the entire valley province, the scope expanded more than twenty times."

"Facing Chang'an at that time, can you still sleep?"

Every sentence touches my heart!

"Ahem, what's the matter? Didn't Douglas say that retreat is the best option?" Gale said awkwardly.

"I did not say!"

Douglas immediately denied it. He did not want to take the blame. "Whether to fight or to withdraw should be decided by the alliance. There is a way to withdraw, and there is a way to fight."

This is where he is superior to his predecessors Rutgers and Grant.

The positioning is very precise.

As for the specific war command, he, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, is responsible for his duties.

But major decisions must be made by the alliance.

He is just an executor.

"If we want to fight, what kind of method will we use?" a lord asked.

have to say.

Bronn's reminder just now really stimulated the great lords present.

Don’t be short-sighted!

"Fighting is also very simple."

Douglas seemed to have a plan, "Chang'an's full-front attack is indeed fierce, but it also exposed a fatal weakness, that is, the battle line is too long."

"The coalition forces can completely abandon guerrilla tactics, concentrate all superior forces, send an army of 500,000 to a certain strategic direction, and completely annihilate a certain army in Chang'an."

The Chang'an army is at the second level, and the coalition army is also at the second level. There is no difference in rank.

Use more to defeat less.

Douglas still has that confidence.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

Bronn actually jumped out to object again, "The coalition forces gave up guerrilla tactics and concentrated their forces. Doesn't that mean they have to give up at least three counties?"

Without the coalition forces to stop them along the way, can the Chang'an army march straight in?

"Of course there will be sacrifices in fighting." Regarding Bronn's objection, Douglas was expressionless, "Lord Bronn, do you have any way to get the best of both worlds?"

Immediately, some lords stood up to support——

"Yes, Bronn, you were the one who didn't let the coalition forces withdraw just now, and you are the one who doesn't agree with the coalition forces to fight now. What's the matter, the co-authored coalition forces are not the coalition forces of the alliance, they are just serving the River Valley Province?"

"We have to fight against Chang'an, but we can't break the bottles and jars in the valley province?"

"Some people should correct their positions." Some lords were even more rude and almost fell out.

"I"

Bron was speechless.

"Annihilate all the way, does it mean one enemy legion, or?" Gale asked aloud.

If you only annihilate one or two enemy divisions, it won't be that significant.

"Of course it's a legion." Douglas said solemnly: "The enemy Flying Bear Legion attacking Palm County and Cana County is a very good target."

"Why not the City Guards?"
