Chapter 53 Take the initiative to support the fire and defeat the enemy first!
"If the lords of the River Valley Province collectively breach the contract, they will be public enemies of the alliance and can be attacked in groups!"
In order to get rid of Chang'an, the "confidant enemy", the lords of the River Valley Province were also anxious and couldn't help but swear on the national channel to win the trust of the lords of other provinces.
Because they have realized——
The River Valley Province alone may be able to annihilate Chang'an with its own strength, but the cost will be heavy.
Leveraging the power of the alliance is the best option.
Driven by various forces, the Aztec Alliance finally reached an agreement to jointly destroy Chang'an, and planned to recruit a hundred thousand troops to launch a general attack on Chang'an.
These 100,000 troops will be assigned to 200 village-level territories for training.
Considering the concentration of troops, these two hundred village-level territories are all located in Bay County, especially Monroe County, Macomb County and Wenla County, which border Graywater County, and have the largest concentration of troops.
Because Bay County "benefited" the most, the lords of other counties in the River Valley Province were also happy to see it taken back.
Otherwise, it will definitely become a source of trouble.
As for the territories within Gray Water County that have not been conquered by Chang'an so far, due to confidentiality considerations, they would not be eligible to receive donations.
In a sense——
The remaining lords of Greywater County were abandoned by the Alliance on their own initiative.
This made the lord of Graywater County unhappy.
Why?
Before they could do anything, they had become the outcasts of the alliance.
But the problem is that the Alliance is the one who donates. How to donate and who to give it to is of course the Alliance's final decision. Even if the lord of Graywater County is not angry, what can he do?
I can only reluctantly accept the destiny.
"If you want to blame, I can only blame you for being unlucky enough to end up in Huishui County." Someone joked.
Let the lord of Greywater County break the defense in one go.
Before this, some lords of Greywater County were still having sweet dreams, hoping that because of their proximity to Chang'an, they would be able to receive large donations from the alliance and soar into the sky.
Is this the result?
"No, we can't sit still and wait for death!"
Some unwilling lords of Greywater County began to think of ways to break the situation.
………
February 24, Chang'an City.
"Sir, there is something new."
That morning, as soon as Tang Jing attended the trial commissioning ceremony of the glass factory, Director of Military Affairs Qin Shuang came to report, "During the sweep of the Red Flame Brigade, an Aztec lord voluntarily surrendered and said he wanted to join Chang'an."
"oh?"
Tang Jing immediately became interested. This was the first surrender from an enemy country.
"The lord also took the initiative to reveal that the Aztec Alliance had reached an agreement and was recruiting a coalition force of 100,000 in order to launch a devastating blow to Chang'an," Qin Shuang said.
"Is the information accurate?"
Tang Jing's expression immediately became serious.
The national war that he had been predicting before was finally coming, but fortunately he had not slackened off.
"It should be accurate. After receiving the news, the Intelligence Section, with the assistance of the Red Flame Brigade, approached other Aztec lords to learn about the situation, and they all said that it was indeed true."
The Intelligence Section is an agency under the Military Affairs Administration.
"I have also arranged a special team to go to surrounding counties to verify the situation." Qin Shuang was experienced in doing things and started the intelligence verification work as soon as he obtained the information.
Although the special forces are affiliated with the Guards Battalion, the Military Affairs Administration has the right to directly requisition them.
"Then we must prepare for war."
Tang Jing was already 70% convinced, "Can you tell how long it will take for the enemy coalition forces to start a war?"
"Ten days and a half month."
Qin Shuang explained: "The Aztec Alliance has assembled a hundred thousand troops, and they come from different territories. They must first complete the internal reorganization and discipline, otherwise they will be scattered."
Not to mention an army of 100,000, even commanding an army of 10,000 requires advanced organizational and management levels.
Otherwise, why were famous generals so scarce in ancient times?
Even talented people like Lin Shu and Yue Yun can hardly command a brigade of soldiers, let alone command an army of ten thousand people.
It also requires practice.
"Ten days."
Tang Jing rubbed his forehead, "I'm not worried about the 100,000 coalition troops. With the city wall as a barrier, even if we can't win, we'll definitely be able to hold on. I'm just afraid of colliding with the orcs, oh, and the murlocs."
He has not forgotten that the threat of orcs is always there.
Through telepathy with the Behemoth, we even learned that after Lilith and her party successfully arrived at the tribe, the orc tribe was already carrying out relevant war mobilization.
They may attack Chang'an at any time.
If these two forces come together, the pressure on Chang'an will double.
Think about it.
Immediately let the soldiers go and invite General Yue Fei, the commander of the Chang'an garrison division, to discuss the matter together.
"There is indeed a possibility. Even if they don't attack at the same time, with a gap of three to five days, the defensive pressure on the territory will still be unprecedented." After understanding the situation, Yue Fei expressed his position.
"Then how to break the situation?"
"On the orc side, can you think of a way to stabilize it first?" Yue Fei asked.
"I'm afraid not."
Tang Jing shook his head, "The conflict between us and the orcs is irreconcilable. If we take the initiative to show our kindness, I'm afraid it will expose our own weaknesses and attract even more crazy attacks from the orcs."
Orcs have no credibility.
"Even if the orcs don't participate, after we fight the Aztec coalition, there's no guarantee that the orcs won't take advantage of our weakness and pounce on us and bite us hard," Qin Shuang added.
"Then we can only trigger a war with the orcs in advance."
Yue Fei looked calm, "First deal with the orcs, and then fully respond to the attack of the enemy coalition. The general suggested that the Huben Brigade be immediately arranged to cross the Mero River and go to the Denton Plains to harass the orc tribe."
"Can!"
Tang Jing was also decisive and agreed on the spot.
With the violent character of the orcs, if they are really attacked by the Tiger Brigade, they will definitely not be able to bear it. Regardless of whether they have completed war mobilization, they will launch an attack on Chang'an.
"In addition to attacking the orc tribe, we can also clean up the enemy territory in Gray Water County and on the north bank of the Mero River to create a vacuum zone to facilitate surveillance of the enemy's coalition forces."
A hundred thousand troops were about to attack, and even Tang Jing was a little frightened.
The enemy territories on the north bank of the Mero River are only separated from Chang'an by a river. Although intelligence shows that these territories have been abandoned, who can guarantee that the Aztecs will not change their minds?
If a large army were to suddenly gather on the other side of the river, it would be a big threat to Chang'an.
Even if the 100,000 coalition troops are not considered, the orcs are likely to pass through these territories when they are about to attack. If these territories are not cleared in advance, it may give the Aztecs an opportunity to take advantage of them.
"clear!"
Yue Fei nodded in agreement.
With the bravery of the Tiger Brigade, those enemy territories are no more than chickens and dogs.
All are vulnerable.
"Where are the fishmen? Naga should come to redeem people by tomorrow at the latest." Qin Shuang reminded.
"We can only accept the ransom first and worry about it later."
Tang Jing had previously planned to use Tiga as a bait to seduce the murlocs, and the Nagas would attack the city and consume the murlocs along the way. A wave of Nagas would create a bad reputation among the sea tribe.
Now it seems that the plan can only be postponed.
Seeing this, Yue Fei suggested: "If you are not willing to give in, tomorrow when the Naga tribe comes to redeem people, you can let the city guard brigade put on a show, withdraw most of the soldiers back to the inner city, and let the personal guard battalion be responsible for the defense of the entire city.
"
"Pretend that the city's defenses are empty."
"At the same time, some troops from the Entrapment Brigade and the Crimson Flame Brigade were sent back to ambush outside the city in advance. If the murlocs and Nagas really want revenge, they should be able to give them a surprise."
“Great idea!”
Tang Jing's eyes lit up, "In this way, we can first eliminate the hidden dangers from the sea."
With the fish-man Naga's vengeful character, if he really wants to wait for an opportunity to retaliate, he is afraid that if he ransoms him in the morning, he will launch another revenge action against Chang'an in the evening at the latest.
Just come and wait for the rabbit.
From the analysis of the fishmen's two consecutive attacks on Haiwan Town, they don't know the details of Chang'an.
This is the opportunity!
Yue Fei is indeed a famous general, and he came up with detailed countermeasures in an understatement.
It can be said that it is light and heavy.
"The last question is, in order to cope with the upcoming war, does the territory need to expand its army?"
