Chapter 193 The flames of war in Tara rise again, and the Tang Kingdom fights on two fronts!
July 4th, cloudy.
Just as undercurrents were surging in the Western Continent, the Aztec Alliance was trying to build a bridge, and various forces such as the Mote Federation, the Sun Country, and the Sith Country were ready to form alliances with each other.
It was also the day after Tang State was promoted to a first-class principality.
Tang State took the lead!
At about nine o'clock in the morning, the Guards Corps led by Li Mu took advantage of the Ooshan Fortress, which was stationed by the City Guard Corps, and stormed into the easternmost Boyi County under the command of Tara City State.
Take the initiative to provoke a war with the city-state of Tara.
For a moment, the city-state was shaken!
The alliance is shocked!
After learning about the attack on Boyi County, Tara City State dispatched a large army to Boyi County, and at the same time asked for help from the Alliance, especially the "hardcore ally" of Xihai Province, and asked Xihai Province to send a large army for reinforcements.
After all, two things can save your lips and teeth.
………
Xihai Province, Xihai County.
After receiving the news that Tara City State was asking for help, Gale immediately summoned the veteran general Rogers who had been appointed as the commander of the coalition forces in the West Sea Province.
The successive defeats of Grant, the second Union commander, and Douglas, the third, only highlighted the brilliance of Rutgers, the first commander, and his reputation was no longer as embarrassing as when the Union forces were first defeated.
It's even quite prestigious.
"The Tang army suddenly attacked Boyi County. General, what do you think?" Gale asked humbly.
"It's hard to say." Rogers frowned, "Judging from the information we have so far, the Tang Dynasty only dispatched one legion, the Guards Corps, and it only started the war in Boy County. Luoshan Fortress, Morishan Fortress
, there has been no news of Tang troops dispatching for the time being."
"So, what is the purpose of Tang State?" Gale asked.
"Two possibilities."
With the intelligence unclear, Rogers couldn't make a direct judgment. "Either the Tang Dynasty just wanted to capture Boyi County and force the Oushan Fortress to move forward and obtain a buffer zone."
"In this way, it will be very convenient and logical for the Tang State to send troops to the city of Tara."
"Either!"
"It's Tang Guo who is covering for Dake again."
"Dak..."
Gale had a headache, "This Grant is not only incompetent, but also very ambitious."
"I am very sure of that."
Rutgers understood Grant's position very well. "With Dak's current situation, it can be said that there is a wolf in front of him and a tiger behind him. Dak can only move forward and cannot even stand still."
"That's true."
How could Gale not know that he himself was a contact faction in the alliance who advocated reconciliation with Grant.
However, it did not gain support from the alliance.
"So, we don't have to rush to reinforce the city-state of Tara?" Gale's eyes flickered.
With the "disintegration" of the coalition, each province formed its own coalition. On the surface, the overall military strength of the alliance has increased, but another problem has arisen -
Each province began to "treasure itself" and regarded the coalition forces in their respective provinces as treasures.
Once a province's coalition forces are seriously damaged, it means that the province's strength and status in the alliance will also decline.
Including the right to speak.
Therefore, Gale did not want to reinforce the city-state of Tara unless necessary.
In order to avoid bringing in the provincial coalition forces.
"We can wait and see first, but the coalition forces should also enter a state of combat readiness to ensure that reinforcements can be made at any time if the situation changes."
Rutgers reminds.
"Of course."
Gale still understands the principle of dying lips and cold teeth.
But what he didn't understand was that Tang State did not simply cover for Dak this time, but participated in the entire military operation against the city of Tara.
The advance of the Guards Corps out of Boy County was just the prelude to this great battle.
Purpose.
It is to attract the main force of Tara City State to Boy County.
After Tara City-State completed its army gathering, Tang State joined forces with Dak, and then they showed their ferocious fangs and launched an attack on Sac County, Aogu County and Boyi County under Tara City-State.
turn out to be.
As early as three days ago, under the unified command of General Li Jing, the Longxiang Army and the Tiance Army had entered the Tara Province through the Gushan Fortress and joined the Dak army led by Grant.
The Tang State did not want to protect Dake, but wanted to annex the entire Tara Province in one fell swoop.
There are only four counties under the command of Tara City State, and Aogu County is the seat of the city state's headquarters. The three counties were attacked at the same time, and you can imagine the shock they received.
"It's over, I fell into the trap again!"
This was Gale's first reaction after receiving the news, and he immediately asked Rogers to lead reinforcements.
But the opportunity has already been lost.
In order to conquer the entire Tara Province, Tang Guoke also used all his strength. In addition to the city guards, Fengxiang and Flying Bear Legions who were to guard the fortress, the remaining three legions were sent out.
And they are the most elite troops.
Including magic crystal cannons, Kuafu clan giants, bone dragons, etc., they were all sent to the frontline battlefield.
It means a battle to decide the outcome.
………
"Western Continent, should it really get lively now?"
In the study room, Tang Jing read the battle reports sent by all parties with a smile on his lips.
Declaring war on the Lieyang Kingdom will shake up the entire Western Continent, which may then trigger an alliance between the Aztec Alliance, the Mote Federation, the Sith State and the Lieyang Kingdom to jointly fight against the Tang Kingdom.
this consequence.
Long before the war started, Mr. Wu, Du Ruhui and other ministers had conducted careful deductions.
But I did it anyway.
In the era of national lords, every lord is sailing against the current, and will retreat if he does not advance.
The same was true in the Tang Dynasty.
It cannot be said that we just stay in a corner because we are worried about being besieged.
That too will eventually die.
When the Aztec Alliance, the Meite Federation, the Sith Kingdom, and the Lieyang Kingdom all produce their own local overlords, how can there be room for the Tang Kingdom to survive?
Rather than being timid, it is better to take the initiative.
At least for now.
Time and opportunity are all on Tang's side.
Not to mention the Aztec Alliance. Although they were forced by the Tang State to carry out annexations at the county level and formed provincial coalition forces one after another, it was ultimately difficult to unite them into a unified force.
There are too many flaws.
But even so, the Aztec Alliance is the top student among the four countries.
Before the Tang State declared war on the Lieyang State, both the Mote Federation and the Sith State were still integrated at the town and county level, without an overall concept at all.
Not to mention the Kingdom of Lieyang.
The latest news is that, stimulated by the Tang State's dispatch of troops to the Lieyang State, both the Mote Federation and the Sith State are accelerating their internal integration.
They also proposed that major mergers at the county level should be completed at least.
At the same time, a coalition army was formed.
But such a major event that involves all the lords, even the Aztec Alliance, which suffered the most, has taken several months, so how can it be settled just as promised?
It will definitely not be done in less than a month or two.
The issue is.
Will Tang State give them such a long time to prepare?
of course not!
Just like this military operation against the city-state of Tara, after successfully persuading Grant, it immediately entered the implementation stage and soon declared war on the city-state of Tara.
No sloppiness.
The purpose is to conquer the entire province of Tara as quickly as possible and catch the Aztec Alliance by surprise.
Declaring war at this time also had two strategic intentions.
One, of course, is to use a war to distract the attention of the entire Aztec Alliance, making it unable to wholeheartedly engage in any kind of alliance.
Both the Mote Federation and the Sith State are probably waiting and watching at the moment——
"You, the Aztec Alliance, want to drag us into the water together. You can settle the family matters first. If you can't even stop this round of Tang State's offensive, then what qualifications do you have to win the position of leader of the Western Continent?"
Who hasn’t been careful yet?
Secondly, it distracts some attention from the Lieyang Army’s military operations in Lieyang Country.
Compared with the Burning Sun Kingdom, whether it is the Mote Federation, the Sith Kingdom, or even players around the world, they are obviously more concerned about the former star of the Aztec Alliance.
Thus.
The Tang State can quietly make a fortune in the Lieyang Kingdom.
On July 6, after conquering the entire western province, the Lieyang Army commanded by Bai Qi took a short rest and then set its sights on the vast central province.
It is reported that.
The central province covers an area of approximately 1.19 million square kilometers, dominated by tropical rainforest and plateau terrain, accounting for one-third of the Lieyang Kingdom's land area.
Once the central province is conquered, the backbone of Lieyang Kingdom will be truly broken.
………
The soldiers on the front line were fighting bloody battles, and Tang Jing, who was sitting at the rear, was naturally not idle either.
As soon as the Western Province was conquered, a second teleportation array was placed in order to move a large number of refugees exchanged for crystal cores to the Northern and Western Provinces.
at the same time.
The Lieyang warriors who need to be reorganized will be sent to Chang'an one by one to accept transfer and reorganization.
Not only that.
In terms of logistical supplies, Tang Jing also increased his support for the Lieyang Army.
First, he spent 750,000 kill points and a full 900,000 gold coins to summon 15,000 Demon Tiger Cavalry in one breath and reorganized them into the Fourth Division of the Guards Corps.
Qin Qiong, the former commander of the 5th Division Armed Guard Brigade, was promoted to the position of division commander.
After Qin Qiong arrived.
Immediately, he led his troops through the teleportation array and rushed to the western province to report to the army commander Huo Qubing.
Tang Jing already had 300,000 killing points in his hand before. When the Lieyang Army attacked the northern and western provinces, they successively accumulated more than 500,000 killing points.
It was used up again in no time.
In addition to forming the fourth division of the Imperial Guards, Tang Jing also did not forget to supplement the Lieyang Army with infantry armor and Mingguang Armor.
It can also be regarded as repaying previous debts.
Tang Jing checked it and found that when he was promoted to a second-level principality or a first-level principality, the system would reward glory points. After deducting the cost of converting to a title, there were still 25 million points left.
When attacking the northern provinces and the western provinces, a total of more than 30 million points were accumulated.
Finally, count the previous inventory.
Tang Jing had a total of more than 60 million glory points in his hands, so he very arrogantly purchased 20,000 sets of Mingguang Armor and a full 180,000 sets of foot armor from the Glory Store.
It only cost 40 million glory points.
But it was enough for the imperial guards, Hu Ben, Bao Tao, Ying Yang and the Shence Corps to make up for the debt.
Perfect!!!
The remaining 20 million glory points can be used to form a new legion in the future.
It is not difficult to see from this.
Whether the Tang State sent troops to the Lieyang Kingdom or declared war on the city-state of Tara, it was in a true sense that it supported war with war. As long as it was done properly, the overall military strength would not decrease but increase.
The bigger the battle, the richer the pocket.
Who can I talk to to reason with you?
………
"Your Majesty, the Lieyang warriors waiting to be reorganized have been sent to Chang'an City one after another. Is it time to consider the designation of the newly formed legion and the appointment of the main generals?"
Military Affairs Minister Du Ruhui, who was standing below, asked for instructions with a smile.
"The numbers are, in order, Shenwei, Shenwu, Longwei, Longwu and Wuwei."
"Your Majesty means to form five main battle legions at once. Isn't this enough soldiers?" Du Ruhui was a little confused.
The total number of soldiers sent from Lieyang Kingdom is only about 250,000.
This is not to say that the northern and western provinces of Nuo Da have only such a small number of soldiers, but some of the less high-quality soldiers have been reorganized into local garrison troops on the spot.
This move is also to appease the Sun people.
"That's what I think about it."
Tang Jing said with a smile: "In this reorganization, not only the Lieyang prisoners of war must be taken into consideration, but also the Grant Department must be taken into consideration and make overall arrangements. What do you think?"
Grant chose to surrender, and of course his troops had to be reorganized.
It is impossible to retain it as an organized land.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Letting the Sun people and the Aztecs check and balance each other is indeed the best strategy.
On the appointment of generals.
Tang Jing has already considered everything.
Li Mu, the former commander of the Guards Corps, was transferred to the commander of the Divine Power Corps;
Shirakawa, deputy commander of the Guards Corps, was promoted to commander of the Guards Corps;
Chen Qingzhi, former deputy commander of the City Guards Corps, was promoted to commander of the Shenwu Corps;
Di Qing, the former deputy commander of the Yingyang Legion, was promoted to the commander of the Longwei Legion;
Yang Su, the former deputy commander of the Shence Corps, was promoted to the commander of the Longwu Corps.
"For the last remaining post of commander of the Armed Guard Corps, one of the Dak generals will be selected to take up the position. This can be regarded as a kind of appeasement to the Dak faction." Tang Jing said.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Du Ruhui had no objections when it came to the appointment and dismissal of legion commanders.
In addition to the five army commanders, this reorganization will require the appointment and dismissal of a total of twenty-five division commanders. The nine generals summoned previously, including Fan Kuai, Guan Ying, and Xia Houying, will all have their uses.
The remaining sixteen division commanders.
Promote four generals from the aboriginal generals, promote three from the player generals of the Zunlong Kingdom, promote four from the aboriginal military generals of the Lieyang Kingdom, and reserve five places for the Dak generals.
That's basically it.
Old rules.
Generals belonging to the same faction must be broken up and assigned to different legions.
Follow-up.
If necessary, a wave of division commander changes can be made between the various legions.
to balance the demands of all parties.
"Weichen understands!"
With Du Ruhui's ability, after Tang Jing gave the overall framework of the reorganization, the remaining specific operations would naturally take into account all aspects of the situation.
Try to be even and stable.
Just like now, although the war in Tara Province is still ongoing, the Privy Council can already start a new round of military reorganization.
Don't delay either.
Once the war situation changes in Tara Province or Central Province, they can be sent to the frontline to support immediately.
