Chapter 167: Armistice, allied forces regroup!
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Chang'an City.
Tang Jing was not surprised at all when he received the news that the coalition forces had taken the initiative to lift the siege of the Flying Bear Legion.
Regardless of whether they admit it or not, after experiencing the first two failures, both the alliance and the coalition forces actually have a shadow on Chang'an.
Create fear.
Once the war goes against you, you will subconsciously think about preserving your strength instead of fighting to the end.
There is a little bit of blood missing in the bones.
"Fortunately, my lord made a wise decision, which prevented the Flying Bear Legion from suffering." Qin Shuang was still frightened.
If it were not for the timely reinforcements from the First Infantry Division of the Guards Corps, even if the Flying Bear Corps was not completely wiped out this time, it would still be severely damaged, which would then affect the entire battle situation.
"It was just a fluke."
Tang Jing was secretly sweating.
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, any mistake he makes in his decision-making is likely to result in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the pressure is not ordinary.
Fortunately, since arriving in the wilderness, he has not rested on his laurels and has continued to learn.
otherwise
"Keming, from now on, I will have to rely on you more for military affairs."
Tang Jing smiled and looked at the middle-aged man sitting on one side. It was Du Ruhui, a famous official of the Tang Dynasty, who he summoned using the B-level talent summoning card rewarded by the system.
Du Ruhui, courtesy name Keming, was a prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty and the son of Du Zha, the governor of Xiangzhou.
Born in the Du family of Jingzhao, he first served in the Sui Dynasty and was awarded the title of Lieutenant of Fuyang County.
After Jinyang raised troops, he became an advisor to the shogunate of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and was awarded Cao Cao to join the army. He moved to Shaanxi Province to be the governor of Shaanxi Province, and helped to quell the rebellion of Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.
He moved to the palace of the Qin Dynasty and worked as a lieutenant. He actively planned strategies and was respected by people at the time.
After the establishment of the Literature Museum, it ranked first among the eighteen bachelors.
He participated in the planning of the "Xuanwu Gate Change" with Fang Xuanling and others. In the first year of Zhenguan, he and Changsun Wuji, Yuchigong, Fang Xuanling, and Hou Jun gathered to take the first place in meritorious discussions. He worshiped the crown prince Zuo Shuzi and was conferred the title of Cai Guogong.
After Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty came to the throne, he successively served as the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Inspector of Schools, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and moved to the right servant. He cooperated with Fang Xuanling to assist the government, and was responsible for selecting talents, formulating laws, etc., and was also known as "Fang Mou Dujue".
He died of illness in the fourth year of Zhenguan at the age of forty-six. He was posthumously given to Sikong, Lai Guogong, and his posthumous title was Cheng.
The figure of Lingyan Pavilion in the 17th year of Zhenguan is ranked third.
A real boss.
Therefore, after Tang Jing proposed that Du Ruhui serve in the Military Affairs Administration, Qin Shuang wisely vacated the post of director and let Du Ruhui take over.
She serves as deputy director and director of the Military Intelligence Department.
Before.
The Chang'an army only operates around Chang'an City, and Qin Shuang, the director of military affairs, is more like a logistics manager.
But now.
Chang'an's army went out in all directions, and the commanders of each army were famous generals such as Yue Fei, Guo Ziyi, Lian Po, Chang Yuchun, and Xue Rengui. Qin Shuangwei was really under great pressure.
Taking this coalition attack as an example, she had to rely on Tang Jing's judgment.
Tang Jing was not provided with decision-making help.
It has been dereliction of duty.
In view of this, Qin Shuang is willing to step down as Director of Military Affairs.
"I will definitely do my best."
When he first arrived, Du Ruhui acted very modestly, but he was inexplicably kind to the name of Chang'an.
Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty.
"Sir, General Xue Rengui asked for instructions. After the coalition forces take the initiative to relieve the siege, do they want to pursue it?" Qin Shuang asked for instructions.
"never mind."
Tang Jing waved his hand, "The coalition forces will not be able to kill them all. If we pursue them rashly, we may be ambushed halfway. The most important thing in our eyes is to seize the opportunity to conquer each county as quickly as possible without giving the lords of each county a chance to move."
For Chang'an, taking the entire valley province is the greatest victory.
No need to add extraneous details.
In case the coalition forces cheat, it will also be very troublesome to use teleportation tactics halfway.
and.
Although the Flying Bear Legion escaped from trouble, they suffered heavy losses and it was not appropriate to launch a pursuit.
"clear!"
Qin Shuang was about to turn around and leave after receiving the order.
"Sir, I think it is better to go slowly than to go fast at this time."
Du Ruhui also urgently learned about the battle report, and then suggested: "The coalition forces failed to ambush and retreated on their own initiative. The losses are not huge, so they may not be willing to surrender."
"As long as we fight steadily and do not allow the enemy to take advantage, we will be in an invincible position."
Du Ruhui's words were also a subtle reminder to Tang Jing that the more successful he is, the calmer his mind must be. He must not be dazzled by victory and become hot-headed.
"That makes sense."
Tang Jingshen agreed, "Instruct the three armies to immediately slow down the pace of the attack and consolidate the results."
This is also the Longxiang Legion, and the Tiance Legion is not here.
otherwise.
Facing half a million coalition troops, how could Chang'an be so restrained and timid?
"clear!"
After receiving the instructions, Qin Shuang went down to arrange for Fei Lian to deliver orders to Lian Po, Chang Yuchun and Xue Rengui.
………
Palm County.
"General, the Flying Bear Legion has not caught up." The spy reported.
"pity."
Douglas shook his head regretfully.
After deciding to withdraw from the Valley Province, Douglas led the 50,000-strong army from the base camp and brazenly left Obsidian County, passing through a nearby territory and teleporting to the northern border of Kana County.
Be ready to evacuate to Ica Province at any time.
Bronn fell out with the coalition, and some lords were willing to cooperate with the coalition.
Not to mention that the river valley city-state planned by Bronn has been stillborn. Even if the city-state is actually established, it is unlikely to be monolithic.
Therefore, in the face of Bronn's threat, Douglas just smiled contemptuously.
Nushi County right now.
I am afraid that I have been surrounded by the enemy's Second Cavalry Division of the Guards Corps.
It’s easy to imagine what happened to Bronn.
On the other hand, although he decided to withdraw from the Valley Province, Douglas was still unwilling to give in. He originally thought of using the opportunity of retreat to ambush the enemy Flying Bear Army on the way.
If the Flying Bear Legion didn't wait to join the reinforcements, they would be eager to catch up.
I'll fall into the trap again.
Maybe the coalition forces can use this to make a comeback without having to evacuate the valley province.
However, things went counterproductive.
After all, Xue Rengui is also a famous general of the generation, so how could he be so impatient?
"General, what should we do now? Should we retreat directly?"
Mike asked for instructions.
"do not!"
Before Douglas could speak, veteran Rogers became anxious, "Didn't the intelligence show that the enemy City Guard Corps and Fengxiang Corps were launching a massive attack? Why not fight back?"
It's a small fight, but he hasn't had enough yet.
"No chance."
Mike shook his head, "The intelligence just came in, the enemy City Guard Corps and Fengxiang Corps, after learning about the withdrawal of our troops, slowed down the attack pace and continued to implement horizontal push tactics."
"..."
Rogers was speechless for a moment.
"Chang'an is a really tough opponent."
Chester couldn't help but sigh, "We are almost never given a chance."
"There are actually opportunities."
Douglas remained calm, "Chang'an slowing down the offensive pace means everything is back to the original point. Our army can still implement guerrilla tactics and delay the enemy's attack."
"As for today's battle, although we have not achieved full success, it is still a rare victory after all."
He must make a final conclusion on this battle.
The coalition won!
This is a very clear fact.
Not only was it the first victory for the Union forces since Douglas became commander-in-chief of the Union forces, it was even the first victory since the establishment of the Union forces.
It's a milestone.
This alone was enough for Douglas to secure his position as commander of the coalition forces.
"Nanshi County has been captured by Chang'an. The coalition forces have just integrated the local defense forces in the valley province, using Luoton County and Nash County as the new rear area to continue fighting against Chang'an's army."
In view of Chang'an's conservatism, Douglas gave up his plan to completely withdraw from the Valley Province.
And take a semi-retreat.
Lorton County and Nash County are adjacent to Bute Province and the southern border of Ika Province. They can coordinate with the coalition forces of the two provinces to establish new outposts.
in this way.
There is no need to "get it right in one step" and spread the smoke of war to the two major provinces.
Think about it.
The two major provinces will definitely support the coalition decision-making.
"It can only be the."
Regrettably, Rutgers was unable to annihilate the enemy Flying Bear Legion in one fell swoop.
I always feel overwhelmed.
"By the way, has Grant agreed to cooperate with the Alliance?" Rogers asked with concern.
"No."
Mike shook his head, "Grant has clearly refused."
"This guy!"
When he said this, Rogers didn't know whether he was angry or jealous.
Maybe a bit of both.
Although Grant did some bad things, he finally made a name for himself and became a prince. Even if he betrayed the country, the Alliance still had to rely on him.
It's just magical.
Grant's existence may also reveal the basic rules of the lords era——
Strength is king!
In comparison, Rutgers not only had to succumb to Douglas and return to Xihai County, but also had to be driven by Lord Gale, which made him seem a little downcast.
