Chapter 157 A three-front attack in Chang'an, the coalition forces mobilize their troops!
After discussion, the final decision was made——
Chang Yuchun led the Fengxiang Regiment's 150,000 troops and entered Sola County, Choctaw County.
The natural goal is to capture Choctaw County.
Lian Po led a city guard force of 100,000 troops and stationed in Macon County. Among them, the 12th/13th Division was responsible for monitoring Pelican County and would not engage in direct conflict with the occupation of Pelican County for the time being.
The 14th/15th Division was deployed on the border of Macon County and Choctaw County, waiting for opportunities to support the Fengxiang Army.
Xue Rengui led the Flying Bear Legion's 150,000 troops to station in the new Bay County. While responsible for attacking Palm County, he would also be responsible for monitoring Cana County.
at the same time.
Considering that the 4th Division is a heavy cavalry division, it is not suitable for fighting in the Beiluo Mountains.
The combat meeting decided to allocate the Beiwei Brigade and Huben Brigade under the 4th Division to the Flying Bear Corps, the Leopard Tao Brigade and the Yingyang Brigade to the Fengxiang Corps, and the Xiaoqi Brigade to the City Guard Corps.
As for the Guards Corps.
Then deploy to Joaquin County and Macomb County, ready to reinforce the front lines at any time.
………
April 15th, sunny.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Tang Jing stood on the city tower and watched from afar as he sent off the Longxiang Legion, Tiance Legion, City Guards Legion, Fengxiang Legion and Flying Bear Legion.
The mighty army of more than 600,000 soldiers was very spectacular.
Prior to this, officials such as Macon County Sheriff Chen Hui, Bay County Sheriff Shen Ting, and Sola County Magistrate had all taken up their posts quickly and were responsible for taking stock of "family assets" and settling the people.
Prepare for the army's expedition and provide logistical support.
At the same time, the special forces, the Feilian Reconnaissance Team, had already been active on the front lines of the war.
………
Back at the Lord's Mansion, Tang Jing met with the visiting mermaid representative Daisy.
After reorganizing the army, the remaining swords, spears and other weapons were delivered to the Mermaid Tribe in exchange for the final payment of 300,000 gold coins from the Merfolk Tribe.
Another small profit.
As for Siren, the leader of the Kraken Tribe, he has no shame in coming back. He is probably still thinking about the sunken treasure.
………
Hard Rock County, Hard Rock County.
As soon as Douglas, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, took office, he set up his base camp in Hard Rock County.
After the "Grant Incident", Oshishi County also assumed another responsibility-as the location of a large granary in the rear of the coalition forces, responsible for supplying food and grass to the front-line coalition forces.
Stubborn County is located in Choctaw County, north of Palm County, and is indeed the first choice for the rear.
Naturally, the Allied forces were informed of Chang'an's army's expedition at the first opportunity. Douglas immediately summoned the main Allied generals to discuss countermeasures.
In addition to the coalition staff, the meeting was also attended by the commanders of the left army, the center army and the right army.
The left army was stationed in Cana County and was led by veteran General Rogers.
The Chinese Army was stationed in Palm County, under the command of the former Union Army Center Army Commander Chester.
The right army was stationed in Choctaw County and was led by Duke, the former Union military governor.
All are old faces.
The old duo of Rutgers and Duke are entering the palace for the second time.
Oh, right.
There is also staff officer Mike, who has assisted three coalition commanders and can be described as the "veteran of three dynasties".
The main reason for this situation is that the alliance has introduced new rules that require player generals in the alliance to officially settle in a certain territory.
In this case, people like Rutgers and Duke have already joined the territory.
Wouldn’t it just become a piece of cake?
Not only these two brothers, but also among the first batch of coalition generals, some of the more famous ones were former coalition deputy general Warren, former military commander Dennis, and even former forward commander Lori.
They all became twice-cooked meat and returned to serve in the coalition forces again.
The difference is that Warren joined Morgan County in Ika Province and served as the commander-in-chief of the Morgan Province coalition forces; Dennis joined Mark County in Bute Province and served as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in Mark Province.
Luori joined Aila County, Tara Province, and served as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in Tara Province.
All of them can be said to be successful.
Among the three commanders, Rutgers, Chester, and Duke, the most special one was actually Chester. As the commander of the original Union Army's Center Army, his status was only lower than that of Commander-in-Chief Grant and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Douglas.
After Grant launched the mutiny, he surprisingly did not choose to follow Grant.
But in a blink of an eye.
He chose to join the Onshi County, and was recommended by Bronn, the lord of the Onshi County, as the commander of the Chinese army.
It's like returning to my old job.
According to rumors, it was said that before Grant's mutiny, Bron had already contacted Chester in private, and they flirted with each other, and eventually they hooked up with him.
From a side perspective, Bron is indeed something.
At least the hoe swings well.
"Everyone is here, let's start." Douglas motioned to Mike with his eyes.
"good."
Mike understood and began to introduce the enemy's situation, "After the Battle of Chang'an, Chang'an obtained four to five million prisoners of war. These prisoners of war were reorganized by Chang'an into three armies: Fengxiang, Feixiong and City Guards."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals present looked strange.
It's all quite embarrassing.
Douglas, Mack, and Chester all participated in the Battle of Chang'an and were all defeated generals.
Rogers was also on the scene at the time. When he was evacuating with the Mote Federation military observation group, he was chased by enemy cavalry, causing more than half of the members of the observation group to die on the spot.
Fortunately it didn't turn into a diplomatic dispute.
Only Duke is a bystander, but he is also a loser.
Don't laugh at anyone.
"Well, with hindsight, looking back now, when Grant wanted to organize a million coalition troops to attack Chang'an, General Rogers's warning was absolutely correct."
Douglas broke the silence.
"If a million coalition troops attack the city and fail, it will be tantamount to endangering the enemy and causing Chang'an's military strength to expand dramatically."
"Sure enough, it came true."
The millions of Union troops were defeated. Although Douglas was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Union forces, he was ordered to do so at the critical moment, and the blame for the defeat could not be placed on him at all.
Naturally, he "exposes his own ugliness" calmly.
The ultimate goal is to take the opportunity to throw the blame away from Grant and completely defeat him.
This means.
On the contrary, it was the same as when Grant kept making fun of his predecessor Rogers in order to gain prestige in the army.
No wonder Rogers's expression became even weirder.
Is this a boast?
Or is it a loss?
"Fortunately, when the demonic tide broke out in the Beiluo Mountains, Chang'an chose to send two elite legions to support the elves and dwarves. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous." Douglas was calm throughout the whole process.
It can be seen how deep the city is.
"yes."
Chester, the commander of the Chinese army, felt very sad.
When he thought of the Longxiang Legion and the Tiance Legion, he felt shuddering.
Fortunately, we don't have to face each other again.
"However," Douglas paused and continued: "Even if the enemy's Longxiang Army and Tiance Army did not go on an expedition, the enemy's newly formed Fengxiang Army, Flying Bear Army and City Guard Army should not be underestimated."
"Aren't the main components of the newly formed legion the same as the original coalition soldiers? How strong can it be?"
Chester was a little unconvinced.
"not that simple!"
Douglas shook his head, "According to the observations of the frontline special operations team, the penetration rate of iron armor among the three enemy armies that went out was more than 80%. This means that Chang'an is likely to transfer all the former first-level prisoners of war to second-level."
It is actually very difficult for a first-level warrior to wear iron armor.
"Does Chang'an still have money?"
Duke, the former military governor and now the commander of the right army, questioned: "Didn't I say before that Tang Jing from Chang'an spent millions of gold coins on global auctions alone?"
"If you want to transfer four to five million coalition prisoners of war, why don't you need more than one million gold coins?"
"Chang'an doesn't have them, but they can't hold back the elves. The dwarves do." Douglas saw through it at a glance, "Chang'an sends an army into the Beiluo Mountains. Is there no cost?"
"No wonder the enemy has formed three new legions and the popularity of iron armor is so high."
Chester is a bit sour.
Although it is said that the coalition commander Douglas has also proposed to the alliance a "second-level + iron armor" configuration requirement for coalition soldiers, it does not mean that it can be realized.
It's okay to switch to level 2, but the key is the supply of armor, which will take a long time.
The weapons and equipment manufacturing center is still missing.
"Then, general, how should we respond? This time in Chang'an, the attack is very menacing."
Staff officer Mike asked for instructions.
Compared with Chang'an's swift counterattack, the coalition forces were obviously not ready yet.
first.
Of the planned 500,000 coalition troops, only the first batch of 200,000 are currently in place. Even if the 100,000 local defense forces in the River Valley Province are included, there are only 300,000 troops.
In terms of the size of the army, the coalition forces were at a disadvantage.
Secondly.
The walls of Choctaw County, Palm County and Kana County, which are located in the first chain of defense, have not yet been completed.
Still unable to gather the city and defend it.
With neither the advantage of fortifying the city nor the superiority of troops, how are the coalition forces going to fight this battle?
Anyway, Mike was confused.
The three commanders, Rutgers, Duke, and Chester, all looked at Douglas.
Obviously it also has the meaning of teaching.
Especially the veteran Rogers, deep down in his heart, he was actually very unconvinced. He had obviously predicted everything, but failed to regain the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces when he came back for the second time.
He can only succumb to Douglas.
Rutgers wants to see how much Douglas weighs.
"First of all, correct something."
Douglas was still calm, "The first line of defense includes not only Choctaw County, Palm County, and Kana County, but Pelican County is also an important link."
"And it seems to be the weakest link."
"If I were the general in charge of Chang'an and wanted to break the first defense chain, the first target to attack would definitely be Pelican County, which is the weakest."
Pelican County, Grant.
This is another relatively taboo topic among the coalition forces.
Grant rebelled and became independent. From the perspective of the Alliance, it can certainly be said that he took a bad lead. But from the perspective of the player general, it seems that it can be described as——
Set a good example!
Both were defeated generals, and this can be seen by comparing the treatment of Grant and Rutgers.
One person became a prince in one instant.
The other had no choice but to serve in a township.
What a difference!
Therefore, even though the alliance has taken remedial measures, within the alliance, the player generals do not actually have much hatred towards Grant, including some of Grant's followers.
