Chapter 156: Two-front battle, Chang'an rises to the front again!
On the afternoon of the 13th.
Tang Jing met with one hundred player generals from the Dragon Kingdom at the Lord's Mansion.
Originally, the number of hero posts he sent out was only for fourteen division commanders and seventy-five brigade commanders at most. However, the number of applicants far exceeded the demand. After several screenings, the number was narrowly reduced to one hundred.
Many brigade commanders said that as long as they could come to Chang'an Army for internship, they would be fine even as a battalion commander.
This shows how popular Chang'an is now.
It is even said that Pei Ye told Tang Jing in private that among the generals who came to Chang'an for internship this time, fifteen were from her circle, and they would be officially naturalized in Suiye County after the internship.
It's like Suiye County used Chang'an to train its generals.
It can be inferred from this that among the people who came, there must be supporters of "God of War" Xu Yi.
They all came to Chang'an to learn Buddhist scriptures.
This is also normal. The territory of the first echelon of Zunlong Kingdom has basically entered the county stage, and almost all of them can form city defense battalions and even city guard brigades. They will soon evolve from the previous small fights to big fights.
Of course, you must accumulate cold weapon combat experience in advance.
Tang Jing naturally refused to accept anyone who came, and he was also happy to strengthen military exchanges with Zunlong Kingdom.
The main thing is that there is no conflict of interest between the two parties.
………
Before noon the next day.
The Shenwu Brigade and the Xiongwu Brigade, which participated in the task of resisting the demonic tide, finally returned to Chang'an City to rest.
Tang Jing personally went to the city gate to greet him.
Afterwards, he went to the Wilderness Temple and spent more than 250,000 kill points obtained in the counterattack to summon more than 2,500 Chiyou warriors and 2,500 Demon Tiger Cavalry.
The two divisions under the Guards Corps were also adjusted to 3,000 men per brigade.
Further enhance the strength of the Guards Corps.
With the addition of more than 5,000 wild warriors, the armor must of course be deployed as soon as possible. Tang Jing immediately spent more than one million glory points to purchase more than 2,500 sets of foot armor and 2,500 sets of Mingguang armor.
Taking into account the Long Xiang Legion, the Tiance Legion is about to be reorganized and will go on an expedition soon.
Tang Jing immediately spent another 22 million glory points to purchase 100,000 sets of infantry armor in one go and distributed them to the third-level heavy infantry of the two legions.
Then make up for the previous equipment shortage.
Of the 27 million glory points, there are only 2.5 million points left.
I really can’t help but spend it.
Of course, the benefits were immediate. Not only did the Longxiang Legion and Tiance Legion greatly increase their strength and truly become heavily armored, but they also freed up more than 100,000 sets of iron armor in one fell swoop.
Together with the 250,000 sets of iron armor sent by the dwarves and the iron armor brought by the prisoners of war, it is almost enough to arm the three new legions of Feng Xiang, Fei Xiong and City Guards.
It won't make the three legions look too shabby.
In addition to the iron armor, the 300,000 elven war bows sent by the elves were allocated to Long Xiang, the two legions of Tiance, and the two legions of Tiance, 20,000 in total, and the rest were also allocated to the three legions.
Partiality is partiality, but it is also "the one who sees it has his share".
Including the 200,000 shields sent by the dwarves, which were also from Long Xiang, the two legions of Tiance were allocated 100,000 shields, the Guards legion was allocated 10,000 shields, and the rest were all distributed to the three legions.
The three major legions have not yet started re-equipment, and they do not need too many war bows.
As for conventional weapons such as swords and spears, not to mention the more than 400,000 prisoners of war, as well as the seizures from cleaning the battlefield, there are a lot of them found in the warehouses of various military camps.
It can't be used up at all.
This leads to the saying that although Chang'an established three new legions in one go and expanded the army by more than 400,000, the weapons and equipment have been basically purchased, which can be said to be a victory at the starting line.
The alliance is beyond our wildest dreams.
The cannon fodder troops in their hands transformed into elites once they joined Chang'an.
This is the difference!
………
In the afternoon, Tang Jing presided over a military affairs meeting.
In addition to the Director of Military Affairs Qin Shuang, the meeting was attended by five army commanders: Yue Fei, Guo Ziyi, Lian Po, Chang Yuchun and Xue Rengui.
The former three giants in the military have suddenly become the five giants.
The meeting begins.
As usual, Director of Military Affairs Qin Shuang first reported on the detailed military reorganization plan.
"The original Chang'an Garrison Division was reorganized into the 11th Division."
"The 100,000 troops assigned to the City Guard Corps were reorganized into the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th divisions."
"The 150,000 troops assigned to the Fengxiang Corps were reorganized into the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th Divisions."
"The 150,000 troops assigned to the Flying Bear Legion were reorganized into the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 25th Divisions."
Still the same old rules.
The size of the fourteen newly formed divisions is between 25,000 and 30,000, leaving plenty of redundancy.
"At the same time, adjustments will be made to the organization of the Tiance Army and the Longxiang Army. The Tiance Army has the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th divisions, and the Longxiang Army has the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th divisions.
10th Division.”
Taking advantage of this opportunity of major reorganization, the first-level designations of each legion's division were finally straightened out.
Save yourself the hassle of jumping around with numbers.
The legion reorganization plan was released, and naturally what followed was the adjustment of generals.
"Cao Chun, the former deputy general of the 4th Division, succeeded General Chang Yuchun and was promoted to the division commander of the 2nd Division."
Cao Chun is actually more suitable to lead cavalry in battle, so he can only make do with it for now.
"Yunshan, the former commander of Zhenyue Brigade, succeeded General Xue Rengui and was promoted to division commander of the 3rd Division."
As the eldest brother of Houyi warriors, Yunshan's talents were not inferior to Tu Hong's. This time, he finally took advantage of the opportunity of army reorganization to be promoted to division commander.
He is also the second Aboriginal division commander in the territory.
The remaining commanders of the 12th to 25th divisions are all player generals from the Dragon Kingdom.
Of course, the word "generation" must be added in front.
What is slightly different from the previous plan is that after being promoted to deputy brigade commander or brigade commander, the battalion commander who performed bravely in the major counterattack will also be sent to serve in the 12th-25th Division.
This further squeezes the office space of player generals, which can be regarded as a disguised check and balance.
After Qin Shuang finished his report, Tang Jing looked at the five giants in the army and said, "Next, let's discuss together the battle strategy for the next stage of the territory."
Chang'an will next fight on two fronts.
There is no need to discuss too much about the battlefield in the Beiluo Mountains. The Tiance Legion and the Longxiang Legion are each responsible for a section, with the elves and dwarves tribes as their strongholds, and they cooperate with the elves and dwarves in fighting.
At that time, the army will need to fight in divisions or even brigades.
The main discussion is still about fighting against the alliance.
"After the defeat, the Aztec Alliance attempted to build a blockade and defense chain against Chang'an using Pelican County, Choctaw County, Palm County and Kana County as strongholds."
"To this end, the alliance has planned to raise 500,000 troops. The initial 200,000 reinforcements have arrived and are deployed at the borders of Choctaw County, Palm County and Kana County."
"Because Pelican County was controlled by Grant, the former Union commander, the Union did not station any Union troops."
Looking at this situation, the Aztec Alliance planned to let Pelican County "fend for itself" and concentrate its efforts on reinforcing Choctaw, Palm and Kana counties.
With 500,000 coalition troops, plus the local defense forces of the valley province, the garrison force of each county can reach 200,000.
It's still quite difficult to chew.
"Depending on the situation, Pelican County's defense force is the weakest, and it is not favored by the Aztec Alliance. It is difficult to obtain reinforcements. Should Pelican County be eliminated first?" Veteran Lian Po suggested.
"I disagree."
Chang Yuchun was the first to stand up and object, "Our counterattack this time focuses on a time window. Even the city walls in the four counties have not been completed yet."
"To take advantage of this short window period to launch a counterattack, it is best to bite the hard nut first."
"As for Pelican County..."
"As I said just now, it is the weakest among the four counties. It can be left to deal with it at the end."
Chang Yuchun and Lian Po can be said to be two generals with completely different styles.
Lian Po is good at defending, and he is good at attacking when spring comes.
"Then who is the tough one?" Tang Jing asked with a smile.
"Choctaw County!"
Chang Yuchun was also unambiguous, "There are three reasons."
"First, Choctaw County is sandwiched between Macon County and Bay County. It is closest to Chang'an and poses the greatest threat."
"Secondly, the Honey River runs through the middle of Choctaw County. Taking Choctaw County is equivalent to controlling the lower reaches of the Honey River, making it easier for the Chang'an Navy to move upstream along the Honey River and provide support."
"Third, Choctaw County is directly connected to Hard Rock County."
"Intelligence provided by the Military Affairs Administration shows that Hard Rock County is the local base camp of the River Valley Province, and is expected to be the headquarters of the coalition forces. Reserves, food and grass will all be gathered in Hard Rock County."
"As long as Choctaw County is captured, our troops will be able to point directly at the enemy's heart and disrupt the enemy's combat deployment."
Chang Yuchun rarely spoke up in military affairs meetings before. This does not mean that he has no knowledge. In fact, he is also a famous general who is good at using his brain to fight.
Just because I was not a general before, I know how to hide my clumsiness.
In this battle against the alliance, the Fengxiang Legion he commanded was one of the main forces.
Only then did he speak out at the right time.
Depending on the situation, Chang Yuchun may even want to take the lead.
"That makes sense."
Tang Jing nodded, "Based on this, the next-level attack target should be Palm County?"
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Chang Yuchun agreed with a smile, "Compared to Palm County, although Kana County also borders Bay County, the border is shorter, and the southern part of Kana County has a long and narrow geography, which is more conducive to the defender."
"But once our army captures Palm County, it can launch an attack from the west of Palm County towards the hinterland of Cana County."
"Let's put it this way -"
"As long as Choctaw County and Palm County are captured, the enemy's so-called defensive chain will be broken."
In his words, he was extremely confident.
"What do you think?"
Although Tang Jing had already agreed with Chang Yuchun's analysis, he still sought the opinions of other generals.
"Hit the snake within seven inches, General Chang's suggestion is a good one."
Yue Fei agreed very much.
"First it's hard and then it's easy, it's okay." Guo Ziyi smiled.
"The last general is willing to lead his troops to attack Choctaw County." Xue Rengui immediately began to take the main attack.
"Sir, the last general also invites you to fight!"
Chang Yuchun was also anxious. I bet he just analyzed it in vain, right?
"OK OK!"
Tang Jing lowered his hands slightly, and Xue Rengui and Chang Yuchun stopped arguing.
It can be seen that the prestige is not low.
Along the way, no one knew that Tang Jingcai was the soul of the territory. Although he was young, he single-handedly took charge of military affairs and carried Chang'an through all obstacles.
In the troubled times of ancient times, he would have been a heroic figure at least.
