Chapter 190 Attacking the Lieyang Kingdom, the war breaks out again!
Deciduous Province, Maple Leaf County.
As Mike had predicted, after the defeat, the coalition command headquarters was disbanded on the spot, and Douglas, the third commander-in-chief of the coalition, also returned to his place of residence.
Because it was the three major fortresses that fell in front of them, Douglass died heroically.
But he didn't receive much harsh criticism from the alliance lords.
After returning to Maple Leaf County, Douglas was immediately appointed as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of Luoye Province.
Still being reused.
Spurred by the defeat, the Aztec Alliance launched an alliance-wide war mobilization order. The first response was to form a provincial coalition at the provincial level.
Like the province of Ica and the province of Bit.
After replenishing the fortresses to defend the fallen defenders, they increased the size of the coalition forces in their respective provinces to 500,000.
Other provinces also have more than 300,000.
It can be seen that he was really frightened.
In addition to forming provincial coalition forces, various provinces are also "beggaring their neighbors". For example, Gema Province, Great Lakes Province and Xihai Province, which border Ika Province and Bit Province, have built fortresses on their borders.
Purpose.
Naturally, it is also to prevent further spillover of war risks.
Only the northern provinces of Beiyuan and Luoye Province can still be peaceful for the time being.
Even standing aside and watching the fun.
As for the Ika and Bit provinces, in the past week, especially with the holding of the Tang Dynasty's coronation ceremony, the situation has become even more tense, and they are ready to fight to the death with Chang'an.
In John's words -
"We have no choice but to fight to the end!"
It sounds very tragic.
Amid the tragedy, the Aztecs' guilty conscience was clearly exposed.
………
Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City.
Indeed, as the Aztec Alliance expected, the day after the enthronement ceremony, Tang Jing summoned Hussar General Bai Qi, Guard General Li Jing, and Military Affairs Minister Du Ruhui.
Discuss Tang's next phase of combat plan.
Open up new territories and never stop.
The difference is that the next target of the Tang State's attack is not the Ica Province, or the Bit Province, or even the Aztec Alliance, but the Lieyang Kingdom.
The Devil's Valley came to light again, immediately opening up the passage between the Tang Kingdom and the Lieyang Kingdom.
Compared with the Aztec Alliance, which was sharpening its sword, the Lieyang Kingdom was successively invaded by the Mote Federation and the Sith State. To this day, they have not made any substantial counterattack.
It can be said to be the ultimate salted fish.
However, the northern province of Lieyang is one of the best grain-producing areas in the world because it is adjacent to the Caspian Sea and is a rare plain area with fertile soil and abundant water resources.
Tang Guo has no reason not to covet him.
General Bai Qi was a staunch supporter of the plan.
"The northern province of Lieyang Kingdom covers an area of 620,000 square kilometers. The main territory is still in the township stage, with less than one tenth entering the county seat, and basically no city walls have been built."
Du Ruhui reported the relevant information collected.
"Three legions."
Bai Qi raised three fingers, "I only need three main battle legions to capture the entire northern province of Lieyang Kingdom within half a month."
"I will send you the newly formed Tiger Ben Army, Leopard Tao Army, Ying Yang Army and Shence Army, plus the Imperial Guard Army. I only have one request. After taking the northern province, I will conquer the western province.
"
Tang Jing's appetite was even greater.
If it weren't for the difficulty of crossing the Beiluo Mountains, the army went to Lieyang Kingdom and would not be easy to return.
He wanted to send more legions to join the war.
As for why four newly formed legions were dispatched instead of established legions such as Longxiang, Tiance, and Fengxiang, the reason is also very simple——
After all, the four major armies of Hu Ben, Bao Tao, Ying Yang and Shence were organized from the Allied Forces.
even though.
Because they are all indigenous, the chance of rebellion is very low.
But Tang Jing was still a little worried about letting the four major legions attack the Aztec Alliance like this. It would be better to send them all to the battlefield of Lieyang Kingdom.
Then there will be no problem at all.
In turn, the subsequent prisoners of war captured in Lieyang Kingdom can be sent back to Chang'an after preliminary reorganization to participate in the battle against the Aztec Alliance.
Isn't it wonderful to solve two major problems with just one move?
"no problem!"
Bai Qi also readily agreed.
"Then let's get started."
Tang Jing was also decisive, "The five major legions will all be temporarily incorporated into the Lieyang Army, and you will be the leader."
no doubt.
An army is an organization above a legion, similar to a group army, and it has no fixed organization yet.
It can be temporarily reorganized according to war needs.
"Thank you, sir!"
Bai Qi looked uplifted and enjoyed the trust between the monarch and his ministers.
Tang Jing nodded, then turned to look at General Wei Li Jing, "Here at the base camp, the war against the Aztec Alliance will be fully presided over by General Wei."
Before the war in the Sun Country was effective, the Aztec Alliance was naturally stopped with silence.
"yes!"
Li Jing bowed his hands and accepted.
In this way, he and General Bai Qi were each responsible for a large battlefield.
………
After the meeting, Tang Jing did something.
At the price of "a thousand refugees exchanged for one level 4 crystal core", level 4 crystal cores were launched in the global market to meet the advancement needs of the global lords.
Including Lieyang Kingdom.
Tang Jing was not worried and said that after the lord of Lieyang Kingdom obtained the level 4 crystal core, he would be promoted to the territory.
He couldn't wait to do it.
Not only the northern provinces and the western provinces, but also the entire Lieyang Kingdom will be considered by Tang Jing to be in his pocket in the future, and it will also be the key strategy target of the Tang Kingdom in the next stage.
Once it captures the Lieyang Kingdom, the Tang Kingdom will truly gain a foothold in the Western Continent.
Why fear the counterattack of the Aztec Alliance?
Not to mention the Aztec Alliance, even if the Aztec Alliance and the Mote Federation joined forces, the Tang State was fearless and dared to confront them head-on.
Therefore, if the lord of the Sun Kingdom exchanges the level 4 crystal core for the meat, it will rot in the pot after all.
No problem!!!
Tang Jing chose this time to release Level 4 crystal cores, not only because the global market is now most hungry for Level 4 crystal cores, but also because he was worried that after starting a war with the Lieyang Kingdom, he would lose the Lieyang Kingdom's market.
So gather a wave of wool in advance.
Intentions can be described as "sinister".
In addition, the purpose of releasing level 4 crystal cores at this time is to trade a large number of people and reserve the population in advance for the next step of Tang's economic strategy of "northern provinces and western provinces".
Especially the northern province, as one of the main grain-producing areas, has a huge demand for population.
You must plan ahead.
………
During this period, the Privy Council accelerated the reorganization progress of the Baotao Army, Yingyang Army and Shence Army. At the same time, it arranged engineers, recruited laborers, and worked day and night to widen the roads into the Beiluo Mountains.
Create conditions for subsequent transportation of grain and grass supplies.
In addition to being used for transporting grain, widening the road is also necessary to strengthen the connection between Chang'an and the northern provinces in the future. The northern provinces cannot really be "alone overseas".
How to implement effective governance and control?
To get rich, build roads first.
This principle applies no matter what the conditions are.
For this reason, Tang Jing even ordered that all refugees exchanged for level 4 crystal cores, except for some special talents, must participate in the road construction project in the Beiluo Mountains.
It can also be regarded as the largest infrastructure project in the Tang Dynasty.
"Before the army moves, food and fodder will go first" is not just talk.
