Chapter 113 The prelude to the national war, who will win?
The Aztecs were hotly discussing the million-strong alliance on the national channel. Players around the world who were watching the excitement knew about it. Of course, Tang Jing couldn't have known it.
Someone had already informed me via private message.
Millions of coalition troops are about to attack, and if the war goes unfavorably, the alliance may continue to increase its troops.
This is the biggest crisis Chang'an is about to face.
Faced with this unprecedented crisis, Tang Jing needs someone to solve his doubts.
But before that, he had to do one more thing, which was to go to the Savage Temple and spend the 125,000 kill points obtained in this battle to summon 2,000 Chiyou warriors and 500 Houyi warriors.
Incorporated into the Guards Division, another infantry brigade was formed——
Xiongwu Brigade.
Yunyi, the former deputy commander of the Shenwu Brigade, was promoted to the position of commander of the Xiongwu Brigade.
After that.
Another 500,000 glory points were spent to purchase 2,500 sets of foot armor from the glory store.
Used to equip the Xiongwu Brigade.
In this way, the Guards Division now has two heavy infantry brigades and one heavy cavalry brigade. Although it has not yet reached full strength, its overall strength has undoubtedly reached a new level.
Each brigade still maintains the establishment of five battalions.
The reason is also very simple. Compared with the other divisions, which have too many "manpower resources", the Guards Division has a serious shortage of "manpower resources". The establishment of five battalions is not enough, so there is no need to establish the establishment of six battalions.
More to come later.

afternoon.
Yue Fei, the commander of the First Division of the City Guard Corps, was ordered to return to Chang'an City.
The First Division and the Second Division stationed on the northwest border were temporarily commanded by the Second Division Commander Chang Yuchun.
After the war, the Guards Division, the Fourth Division, and the various units under the Garrison Division that participated in the encirclement and suppression of the coalition forces returned to Chang'an City to rest and recuperate. The Third Division was ordered to be stationed in Monroe County.
After a big war ends, all departments also need to rest and recuperate.
The wounded must be treated in time, the reduced personnel of each department must be replenished in time, the damaged weapons and armor must be repaired in time, and the consumed arrows must be replenished as needed.
In particular, the tense nerves of the soldiers need to be relaxed in a timely manner.
Otherwise the string will break.
In addition, for soldiers who have fought bravely and made meritorious deeds, the Military Affairs Administration must also award them in a timely manner.
The rank of the corps commander is as high as the rank;
When he was promoted to the rank of captain;
Team captains who have made great achievements are expected to be promoted to battalion captains.
Because the size of Chang'an's army is still expanding rapidly, for the grassroots generals, as long as they fight bravely, have a little brains, and finally add a little luck, there will be no room for advancement.
The same goes for middle-level generals.
It is not impossible for those aboriginal battalion officers who have outstanding performance and stand out in the war to be promoted to brigade commander.
After all, this military expansion will create at least twelve more brigades.
The new three generals Luo Shixin, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao will, not surprisingly, take up three spots.
In addition to the possibility that the division commander may also serve as brigade commander, there are still at least seven vacancies for brigade commanders.
They all have to be promoted from the center of the camp.
Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from the wilderness. In the cold weapon era, military generals who have truly received formal military education are actually very rare. Most military generals learned war from war.
Especially those famous generals who founded the country, they all worked their way up from the bottom.
Generals such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai, the founding generals of the Han Dynasty.
What's wrong with them?
It is impossible for Tang Jing to say that whenever there is a vacancy in the Chang'an army, foreign generals will fill it.
It is still necessary to focus on promoting indigenous generals.
Because the size of Chang'an's army has been soaring, from scratch to more than 100,000 soldiers in just forty days, it is destined that the lord Tang Jing will not be able to grow up with the lower-level soldiers and share the joys and sorrows to win people's hearts.
trick.
That's so unrealistic.
As a lord, all Tang Jing can do is to give absolute trust to Yue Fei, Chang Yuchun, Xue Rengui and other major generals.
Don't just do some micro management or something if you have nothing to do.
Just like this time, the battle against the coalition forces was fully entrusted to Xue Rengui's unified command.
The second is to effectively balance the interests of all parties in the Chang'an military to prevent one company from becoming dominant.
For example, use barbarian warriors to balance aboriginal warriors, and then use aboriginal warriors to balance alien generals, etc.
………
Lord's Mansion.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Jing called Mr. Wu, Qin Shuang, Yue Fei and Guo Ziyi together to discuss how to deal with the million-strong coalition of the Aztec Alliance.
This seems to be some kind of signal.
In the ongoing new round of military expansion, in addition to forming two new divisions, Tang Jing also decided to formally form two legions, with Yue Fei and Guo Ziyi as commanders respectively.
Each legion has three divisions.
This was done not only because of the objective needs after the army expanded to a certain extent, but also because Bai Chuan, Yue Yun, Lin Shu and other young generals were promoted to the position of division commander, on an equal footing with veteran generals such as Yue Fei.
Yue Fei and others may not care, but the military cannot care.
There is still a distinction between superior and inferior.
"This crisis is very difficult." Mr. Wu was the first to speak.
"How come?"
Tang Jing was surprised by Mr. Wu's wording, "Even if a million troops attack Chang'an City, with Chang'an's 130,000 elite soldiers, it will still be no problem to hold it, right?"
"What about after one million, another million, and another million?"
Mr. Wu explained: "The Aztecs' approach of gathering millions of coalition troops is indeed crazy, but madness often means making huge bets. Once the game ends, you cannot easily stop the loss and can only keep playing until the end."
"Imagine that a million coalition troops were defeated under Chang'an City."
"Will the alliance choose to withdraw its troops and let the millions of coalition troops fail, or will they continue to increase their troops by one million?"
"After that-"
"If two million troops fell on Chang'an City, do you still care about adding another million troops?"
"Once it comes to an end, even if it is a sell-off, the alliance can only choose to fight Chang'an to the end until Chang'an is consumed. There is no reason to quit midway."
"this…"
After Mr. Wu's analysis, Tang Jing also realized the seriousness of the problem.
This is simply the decisive battle of the national war.
The expressions on the faces of Yue Fei and Guo Ziyi also became solemn. As military generals, it is their mission to protect their families and the country. Faced with this situation, they must stand up.
"Then, how to crack it?" Tang Jingxu asked humbly.
"There are two ways to crack it. Either, stop the Aztec Alliance's plan to gather millions of troops from the source and choose a more conservative strategy."
"Either we have to find a way to prevent the alliance from receiving a second reinforcement," Mr. Wu said.
"The former is definitely impossible." Tang Jing shook his head.
The Aztec lords have reached a consensus on increasing the number of troops by one million. They are moving quickly and are already gathering and reorganizing their troops. How could they give up?
Gale and Rutgers can't do it, and Chang'an can't do it even more.
"Then we can only use our brains to block reinforcements, for example, extending the coalition's food transportation route."
"This is a way."
Yue Fei intervened at the right time, "A coalition of one million troops consumes two to three million kilograms of food every day. Just the food consumption of the army for one day, even if it is all transported by wheelbarrows, will require 10,000 wheelbarrows to transport it."
"Every time the grain transportation route increases by about 30 kilometers, the grain transportation cycle will increase by one day."
"Assuming that the coalition forces build the granary near the border of Macon County, about 150 kilometers away from Chang'an City. Considering that the river needs to be crossed on the way, the grain transportation time is expected to be about six days."
"If we can force the coalition grain warehouses to retreat 150 kilometers, the time to transport grains will be doubled."
Cold weapon age.
When marching and fighting, we fight for food and supplies.
"That is to say, we want to take advantage of the fact that the millions of coalition troops have not yet been reorganized into place, and take the initiative to attack Macon County in order to extend the coalition's food transportation route?" Tang Jing also understood.
"Not only Macon County. The northern area of Bay County, including Choctaw County, but any territory within a radius of 300 to 400 kilometers centered on Chang'an City should be the target of our army."
Yue Fei's "ambition" is very big.
"Can it be done?" Tang Jing frowned.
"According to Fei Lian's investigation report, after the three counties of Denton fell, the lords of Macon County, Choctaw County, and northern Bay County began to dig trenches, traps, and arrange horses and tripping ropes outside their territories."
"The more ruthless ones even sprinkled caltrops on the ground."
"Purpose!"
"We just don't want to repeat the mistakes of the three counties and don't give our cavalry a chance to sweep them away quickly."
Originally, the lords of Monroe County were also making similar arrangements, but the time interval was only one day, and before the arrangement was completed, the Chang'an cavalry came to kill them.
Although cavalry has advantages on the plains, it is not invincible.
It was a surprise.
Once each territory is on guard, it is no longer possible to quickly sweep them away.
"Not only have various traps been laid for the cavalry."
Qin Shuang added: "According to the information obtained by the special team, the lords of the three counties have also stepped up the construction of sentry towers, watchtowers, beacon towers and other facilities at the border, and cooperated with each other in order to establish a complete early warning system."
"Once the cavalry invades."
"Either the subsequent territory will be empty, or a large number of infantry will be ambushed in the next territory in advance to launch a targeted ambush against our cavalry."
The Aztec lords were not stupid.
With the lessons learned from the three counties and the fact that the mainstream territories have entered the village stage, sufficient manpower and material resources can be mobilized to build a defense system against cavalry invasion.
