Chapter 114: Chang'an is still trapped in a life-and-death situation with frequent clever schemes!
"If the cavalry cannot attack alone, then it must be coordinated with the infantry."
Yue Fei, however, was determined, "Would it take some time from the assembly of one million coalition troops to the completion of their reorganization? Before that, we should be able to achieve the set goal by concentrating our forces."
Since the enemy lord has made arrangements for the cavalry, he uses infantry to clear the way and remove obstacles.
Then the cavalry charged and took them away in one wave.
If there is an ambush, sneak attack, or the like in the enemy's territory, the cavalry's mobility can reach the point of conflict as quickly as possible for reinforcements.
If the enemy's sword takes a wrong turn, Chang'an will crush it with an upright force.
"About five days."
Qin Shuang gave the answer: "The information we received is that the Aztec Alliance adopted a distribution system this time, with one soldier from the first-level village, two soldiers from the second-level village, three soldiers from the third-level village, and five to ten soldiers from the town level.
people."
"In addition, when we reorganized 50,000 reinforcements before, various assembly points have been determined."
"so--"
"Although the alliance will recruit millions of troops this time, it will gather very quickly."
Of course, assembling does not mean going out to war.
In addition to gathering troops, the coalition forces also need to build granaries, prepare grain and grass supplies, build siege equipment, etc. In order to transport grain, they also need to recruit wheelbarrows, horse-drawn carriages, grain transport ships, etc. from various territories.
It is definitely a huge project.
Another thing that gives the alliance a very headache is to gather enough alien generals.
Millions of coalition troops.
This means that two thousand battalion commanders are needed, as well as hundreds of brigade commanders, division commanders, corps commanders, etc.
It will almost empty the foundation of the alliance.
Due to the bad experiences of the first batch of alien generals such as Rutgers, Mike, and Warren, the second batch of alien generals will definitely have various concerns about joining the coalition.
It is even more difficult to complete the recruitment.
"Then..." Tang Jing was also decisive and made a decision immediately, "The first division, together with the fourth division, will be responsible for sweeping Macon County. General Yue Fei will serve as the chief general, and Yue Yun will serve as the deputy general."
Father and son are finally going to fight together.
"The Second Division, together with the Guards Division, is responsible for sweeping the northern part of Bay County and the southeastern corner of Choctaw County. General Chang Yuchun serves as the chief general, and Bai Chuan serves as the deputy general."
The Guards Division has the Tiger Brigade, and has just added a new heavy infantry brigade.
The strength is not inferior to that of the Fourth Division.
"The two forces are moving forward together and will start taking action tomorrow."
The Third Division is stationed in Monroe County, where there are still more than 60,000 prisoners of war waiting to be reorganized, and they will definitely be unable to escape. Without mobilizing the Third Division, we can ensure that military operations are carried out simultaneously with the reorganization.
No delay!
"Do you want to equip the two armies with baggage brigades?" Qin Shuang asked for instructions.
"Forget it." Tang Jing shook his head, "Soldiers are valuable and quick. Each soldier brings his own two days of rations. If there is not enough left, we will raise food on the spot."
Even if the territory being attacked runs away in advance, it is impossible to take away all the food.
You can always find something to eat.
For the lords of the three counties, transferring people and materials away was actually a last resort.
This is the last resort.
Although you can preserve some wealth and status by doing this, it is still very different from being your own lord.
Impossible to say.
As soon as there was any disturbance, all the lords in the county packed up and ran away overnight.
There must be many who are lucky enough to wait and see.
Especially under the background that the alliance is forming a million-strong coalition force to counterattack Chang'an, giving up the territory that has been managed for more than a month at this time is probably heartbreaking and even painful.
It is like outrunning the poisonous circle in the shelter stage, but then falling on the eve of the dawn of victory.
How can you be willing to do so?
"What should we do with the prisoners of war and the civilians? Send them back to Chang'an City?" Yue Fei asked for instructions.
"Chang'an City can't fit in it."
Mr. Wu interjected: "Not to mention the newly captured people, even the people in the counties within the territory, it is best not to move back to Chang'an City in an emergency. Otherwise, before the enemy forces siege the city, we will be unable to hold back internally.
."
This is the truth.
The total population of the territory is more than 2.6 million, and Chang'an City will definitely not be able to accommodate it.
"If the people in the counties do not move back to Chang'an City, they will definitely be forcibly recruited by the coalition forces to transport grain." Qin Shuang was a little worried.
"That can't be helped."
Mr. Wu was expressionless, "The enemy is about to attack Chang'an City. If you have to give up, you have to give up. If we can win the defense battle of Chang'an, then the people will still be the people of Chang'an. Otherwise, everything will stop."
The millions of coalition troops attacking Chang'an must be full of confidence.
It is unlikely that they would burn the counties around Chang'an to rubble or massacre the people for what purpose? In the eyes of the Alliance, these are their spoils of war.
"I've already thought about this."
Tang Jing, however, was confident and said with a smile: "I plan to deposit all the people outside Chang'an City, including those captured in subsequent military operations, to Zunlong Kingdom."
If a population of less than two million disperses to Zunlong Kingdom, it will be a waste of time.
It's nothing at all.
Speaking of this, Tang Jing looked at Qin Shuang: "I will issue the call, and you will be responsible for the implementation. The basic method is to connect villages with villages and towns with towns to implement overall relocation."
For example, more than 500 people in Linhe Village, Baishi Town, Chang'an County, collectively mailed to a village-level territory.
Send it back after fifteen days.
For the village-level territory of Zunlong State that accepts people, the more than 500 people temporarily staying there can not only fill the population gap for territory upgrades, but also arrange some farm work.
It is equivalent to getting half a month of free labor.
The reason why it is half a month is because the lord of Zunlong Kingdom has already done this method of meeting the territory's population limit by mail.
Crowdfund a wave of population first, and then send the people back the same way after the territory is promoted.
It's like taking advantage of a loophole in the system.
In order to plug this loophole, the system made additional provisions——
"The population sent out cannot be sent back within fifteen days. There is also a fifteen-day cooling-off period for population mailing between the two territories."
Even if it means replacing a group of people and sending them back, it won't work.
Although the new regulations did not completely plug the loopholes, they greatly increased the cost of this "population crowdfunding" approach and protected the rights and interests of most lords to the maximum extent.
It is in line with the consistent style of the system——
"We will not plug the loopholes 100%, but increase the cost of exploiting loopholes, leaving a glimmer of hope in everything."
It has a bit of the charm of ancient Jiejiao.
"no problem!"
Qin Shuang readily accepted the task and thought it was a good choice.
Fortunately Tang Jing figured it out.
And with Tang Jing's popularity in the Zunlong Kingdom, there is no need to worry that the lord of the Zunlong Kingdom will default on his debt.
joke.
Is the group pet called randomly?
Moreover, this kind of one-on-one docking actually only requires two to three thousand lords to cooperate, and you can choose from Tang Jing's star friends.
Further eliminate the possibility of being defaulted.
"In this way, Chang'an will have no worries and can give it a go and fight to the end with the millions of coalition forces." Qin Shuang looked excited.
"But it's not enough, far from it."
Mr. Wu was pouring cold water again, "Even if we sweep the three counties and extend the enemy's grain transportation route, we are only treating the symptoms and not the root cause."
To put it simply -
The problem of how to prevent the Alliance from continuing to send reinforcements has not yet been truly resolved.
It’s still a dead end!
"Imagine..." Guo Ziyi, who had been listening quietly, spoke for the first time: "What if we are at a stage where the million-million coalition forces think they can fight again, for example, when there are still 600,000 to 700,000 people left."
"Uncharacteristically, our department chose to take the initiative and defeated the coalition forces in one fell swoop."
"Is it possible to prevent subsequent reinforcements from the coalition forces?"
In other words, before the alliance realized that reinforcements were needed, the possibility of reinforcements was cut off.
Once the millions of coalition troops are defeated.
Subsequent alliances will either choose to give up, or they will have to start from scratch and gather millions of troops again.
But then.
Chang'an was also able to obtain a large number of prisoners of war to replenish the lost soldiers in a timely manner.
Maybe it can become stronger.
Under such a situation, it will be even more difficult for the alliance to attack Chang'an with a million troops.
"That's a good suggestion."
Mr. Wu still spoke harshly, "But we also have to face three possible problems."
"First, if the commander of the coalition forces has a stable character, he will not consider reinforcements until the number of troops is reduced to 600,000 to 700,000. Instead, he will immediately add another 100,000 troops after losing 100,000 troops."
"Let the siege troops always maintain a size of one million."
"Second, if the alliance is impatient, once the one million coalition troops are defeated, the troops that will gather again will never be one million, but probably two million or even more troops."
"How will we respond then?"
"Third, after annihilating 300,000 to 400,000 enemy troops, can our troops take the initiative to defeat the enemy's 670,000 troops in one fell swoop?"
Once the three questions were asked, the room became silent again.
