Chapter 164 Chang'an suffered its first defeat, and the coalition forces were as powerful as a rainbow!
"I'll bring Grant into the group now."
Gale was the most active, but was reminded that Grant's communication could not be connected.
It can be seen that Grant should be personally leading his troops to capture the city in the eastern part of Tara Province at this moment.
Also, he himself made his fortune through mutiny, and of course he cared more about controlling the army. For such a large-scale military operation, Grant must have stayed with the army.
Otherwise, I probably wouldn't even be able to sleep.
"There's no rush."
Douglas, however, was very considerate and said, "Let's deal with the enemy Flying Bear Legion first."
"That's right!"
Gale and other great lords quickly agreed to Douglas's battle strategy, "However, counterattack is counterattack. As the base camp of the coalition forces, Stubborn County must also station a large army to garrison and cannot be taken away from its home base."
This is actually a subtle reminder to Douglas.
You can choose to concentrate your forces to attack the enemy, but you must also take appropriate care of Bronn's interests.
Bronn cannot be driven to a dead end.
otherwise.
Grant before was a lesson learned from the past.
"Of course!"
Douglas was a human being, so he naturally understood it.
………
After the Alliance Council ended, Douglas did not rush to hold a combat meeting, but immediately found Bronn offline for an interview.
"You have seen that the alliance is just a bunch of rats. The war has just begun and they are all scared to death."
Bronn couldn't help but mock, and then changed the subject, "It's you, the general, who dares to go to war with Chang'an."
"I'm just making suggestions."
Douglas did not take the credit, "For the river valley city-states, it is better to go to war than to avoid war."
"yes."
Bronn was not very interested, "But the benefits are limited. Even if the Chang'an Flying Bear Legion can be annihilated, when the war is over, the River Valley Province will probably be beaten to pieces."
He said this just now at the alliance meeting, and now he's saying it again.
"It doesn't matter if it's destroyed, it can be rebuilt. For example, in Ord County and Stone County, part of the territory may fall during this period, but as long as Grant is willing to cooperate, it will definitely be recovered by the coalition forces. This is actually true for the river valley city-states.
It’s not a big loss, is it?”
With the war imminent, Douglas must stabilize Bronn, a native.
Otherwise it will be very troublesome.
"The process of breaking it down and rebuilding it is the process by which the river valley city-state is truly shaped, isn't it?"
Douglas seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
The preparation for the establishment of the River Valley City-State was proposed by Bronn and was approved in principle by the lords of the River Valley Province, but it has not yet entered the actual implementation stage.
The biggest help comes from Ord County, Lorton County and Nash County.
The reason is also very simple. Compared with Choctaw County and Palm County, which are on the front line of the conflict with Chang'an, Ord County, Loton County and Nash County are at the rear of the conflict.
There seems to be room for maneuver.
As long as the coalition forces delay the city wall until it is completed, they will have the capital to gain a foothold.
There is no need to join a city-state.
But now, with the full-scale war breaking out, Ord County has also been invaded by Chang'an's army. At this critical moment, it is Bronn's opportunity to push the river valley city-states into substantive cooperation.
It can be seen that crises are also opportunities.
"That's true, but I'm worried that Oshishi County won't be able to defend it." Bron was still bargaining.
"Don't worry about this."
Seeing that Bronn was sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact he still cared about his own selfish interests, Douglas sneered in his heart, but his face was extremely gentle, "Headquarters will not participate in this encirclement and suppression of the Chang'an army."
"The troops in the base camp alone are not enough, right?" Bronn's eyes flickered.
"The coalition forces of the River Valley Province can also be mobilized by you."
Seeing this, Douglas had no choice but to continue adding chips.
"That's good."
Bronn finally felt relieved and said with a smile: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely provide logistical support."
"It's time to work."
………
After taking care of the greedy Bronn, Douglas held an emergency combat meeting to convey the latest decision from the Alliance Council——
war!!!
"General, it has now been confirmed that the army that captured the Lonely Mountain Fortress and attacked the eastern part of Tara Province was Grant's army. And the army that attacked Ord County and Stone County was also the enemy's city guard army."
Staff Officer Mike promptly sent the confirmed information.
"The cooperation is perfect."
Douglas sneered, "Immediately send someone to contact Grant and convey the alliance's request for cooperation."
"clear!"
Most of Grant's army are player generals, and Mike is very familiar with them.
It's not difficult to get in touch.
"There is also good news. It has been confirmed that the evil wave in the Beiluo Mountains has broken out in full force. The heavy infantry brigade that was wreaking havoc in the southeastern corner of Tara Province has also withdrawn from the Beiluo Mountains." Mike continued to report.
"Okay, it's just God helping me!"
Douglas was also very excited when he heard the news.
In this way, he can safely concentrate his forces to encircle and suppress the enemy's Flying Bear Legion, without having to worry about the enemy Longxiang Legion and Tiance Legion suddenly coming out of the mountain to kill their generals.
Isn’t this great good news?
"I agree to shift from defense to offense and counterattack, when will we start?" Veteran Rutgers was the first to ask for a fight.
I also want to avenge my previous shame.
"This is how I think about it. Our counterattack can be roughly divided into three stages."
Douglas did not pay attention to the tone of Rogers' words, and patiently explained: "The first stage is to comprehensively encircle and annihilate the vanguards of the enemy's armies who advance the fastest and are out of touch with the main force."
"The second stage is to encircle and destroy the enemy Flying Bear Legion."
"The last stage is to cooperate with Grant to encircle and annihilate the enemy city guard regiment."
Douglas has a huge appetite.
There is another point that he did not point out on the spot. If the first three stages of the operation go smoothly and Chang'an's strength is greatly reduced, the coalition forces can even engage in a head-on confrontation with the enemy Fengxiang Army.
It seems that it is not impossible to pursue the victory and take Chang'an directly?
Of course this is the most ideal situation.
"Attacking the enemy's forward troops will alert the enemy? Don't let the enemy lose the big because of the small."
Rogers questioned.
"No." Douglas was very confident, "The main focus of this operation is fast. Our army must move quickly, assemble quickly, betray the enemy quickly, retreat quickly, and transition quickly."
"Act quickly, that is, launch an attack early tomorrow morning, without delay or delay."
"Everyone also knows that Chang'an has a strong reconnaissance force. It not only has elite special forces members, but also monsters that can fly in the air, watching every move of our army."
"To this end, we must complete the army assembly as quickly as possible after nightfall."
Email delivery is simply a scam.
Even if there is Fei Lian investigating in Chang'an, he cannot keep track of every move of the coalition forces at any time.
"After rapid assembly, each unit will go directly into battle without taking any rest, and use the fastest speed to annihilate the vanguard units of the enemy's armies. After that, we should not be reluctant to fight, and we should quickly evacuate and make a second transition."
Douglas can be said to have taken advantage of transmission to the extreme.
"But this is too hasty. Is it worth it just to eat the enemy's vanguard? If any link goes wrong, it may affect the overall situation." Rogers was still skeptical.
Think Douglas is too greedy.
"Yes, this counterattack is a surprise, and there may only be one chance." Chester, the commander of the Chinese army, did not agree very much. "The top priority is to completely annihilate the enemy's Flying Bear Legion."
"I'm not greedy."
Douglas shook his head and explained patiently: "The first phase of the operation is not to alert the enemy. On the contrary, the first phase of the operation is actually paving the way for the second phase."
"How to say?"
Rogers and Chester both asked questions.
"In the first stage, our army attacks multiple enemy targets at the same time, which will inevitably give the enemy the illusion that we are conducting normal blocking operations."
"The enemy would never have imagined that we were planning a bigger tactic to betray the enemy."
"On the contrary, you will relax your vigilance."
"In addition, concentrating our efforts to eliminate the enemy's vanguard forces can also delay the enemy's offensive momentum on all fronts to the greatest extent, allowing our army to mobilize its troops and generals and buy more time." Douglas said.
"That makes sense."
At this time, even veteran Rutgers had to admire Douglas' strategizing.
It was indeed more comprehensive than he thought.
After deciding on the plan, the coalition forces began to step up their deployment.
………
Around four o'clock in the morning.
Taking advantage of the darkness, under the unified command and dispatch of Douglas, and with the cooperation of major coalition generals such as Rutgers, Chester, and Duke, the coalition forces took the initiative to attack, concentrated their forces, and launched an attack on the advancing Chang'an army.
The effect is surprisingly good.
The armies from all directions in Chang'an marched out, and almost all of them suffered devastating blows.
The losses were heavy.
All battle reports were quickly gathered at the headquarters of the three legions, and at the same time they flew to Chang'an City.
