Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 117 In the first game of the decisive battle, the alliance actively sacrificed!

Just as Tang Jing was busy reviewing official documents.

Yue Fei commanded the first division and the fourth division, and took the lead in crossing the border and attacking Macon County.

Macon County, Coalition Provisional Headquarters.

The town-level territory where the headquarters is located currently only has [-] reinforcements stationed there.

The million-dollar coalition is still on the way to reorganization.

With the lessons learned from the past two times, the coalition forces have already deployed a large number of sentry towers on the border, as well as mobile sentries composed of light cavalry, constantly monitoring every move of the Chang'an army on the opposite side.

As soon as Yue Fei's troops were dispatched, the news was immediately reported to the coalition headquarters.

"Changan took the initiative to attack, what is the intention?"

Grant, the commander of the coalition forces, looked at the coalition staff officer Mike sitting opposite him.

That's right.

It's still the same Mike.

After leaving the Allied Forces and joining the third-ranked territory of the Aztec Alliance, Rand Town, he rejoined the Allied Forces Command as a representative of Rand Town.

After entering the palace for the second time.

The first thing Mike did was to establish a whole set of early warning system around the territory where the command headquarters was located. Once there was any trouble in the periphery, he would immediately leave with oil on his feet.

Without hesitation.

More importantly, with the lesson of blood and tears that the lord of Lak town, Lak, was inexplicably assassinated last time, under Mike's suggestion, the lord of the territory where the temporary headquarters is located even made up and lurked into the coalition forces.

Play as an alien general in the coalition.

The assassins can't find anyone, so they won't be assassinated again, right?
It can be seen that although the first coalition army suffered a disastrous defeat, they did learn a lot in the war.

Not as arrogant as before.

"It's a little strange."

Faced with Grant's inquiry, Mike sorted out his thoughts and said carefully: "From Chang'an's previous performance, Chang'an should not be so arrogant that he is confident in seeking a decisive battle with the coalition forces in the wild."

"The sudden dispatch of troops should have other purposes."

"For what purpose?"

Grant still attaches great importance to Mike's opinion as a staff officer.

At least Mike has the experience of fighting Chang'an.

"What can Chang'an gain by attacking Macon County? Land, population, and a small amount of supplies."

Mike continued to analyze.

"Land has no meaning to the current Chang'an."

"Population will be a burden instead."

"Chang'an has support from Zunlong Kingdom for such a little material that was seized, so it should not be appreciated."

"Since none of the above is what Chang'an wants, then, on the other hand, if Chang'an sends troops, what adverse effects will it have on our army?"

"distance!!!"

Mike's thoughts became clearer.

"You mean, Chang'an took the initiative to attack while the main force of our army has not yet assembled, artificially creating a no-man's land between the enemy and us?" Grant also reacted.

"More precisely, I want to lengthen our army's food delivery routes."

Mike added: "Our army with a million troops is going to fight, and it is not an easy task to transport food and grass to the city of Chang'an. I am sure that Chang'an will not leave us with even a single piece of food in the periphery."

As soon as the words fell, another message came.

But it was reported by the sentry in the northern part of Haiwan County, and was also attacked by the Chang'an army.

"It has been determined that Chang'an is deliberately lengthening our army's food transportation route in order to find a plan to harass our food transportation team." Mike concluded.

"What's the point?"

Grant was still puzzled, "Our department can transport grain by water. Chang'an City built a wharf on the banks of the Meiruo River. When the army besieged Chang'an City, it happened to be requisitioned to unload grain."

The Aztec Alliance did not lack territories near rivers and seas.

These territories may not be able to build large ships like warships at the moment, but it is still no problem to build small boats to transport food, and by the way, they can also transport soldiers across the river.

The alliance is stepping up efforts to coordinate shipbuilding matters.

"Is such that."

Mike explained: "Intelligence has confirmed that Chang'an has large warships, which can be used to control the waterway of the Melo River and prevent our grain transport ships."

"Warships have to dock, right? When the war breaks out, the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an City will be captured by our army. Without land supplies, even a battleship can jump on the water for a few days?" Grant shook his head.

"Yes."

Mike nodded in agreement, "The problem is that Chang'an's heavy cavalry crossed the river twice late at night, and both were very strange. Especially the time when they crossed the Merlot River and attacked Monroe County, it was even more unexplainable."

"Afterwards, according to my intelligence analysis, Chang'an is very likely to have gained the effectiveness of some of the Haizu."

"It's kind of tricky."

Grant is very unfamiliar with the Sea Clan.

It's not good to jump to conclusions.

"However, even if Chang'an has the Sea Clan, as long as the food transportation team, including the security team on the shore, is equipped with more archers, it should be able to handle it."

The previous battle.

The coalition forces suffered from the lack of archers and cavalry.

Among the millions of troops recruited this time, Grant specifically requested that at least [-] archers and at least [-] light cavalry be recruited.

It almost wiped out the wealth of the alliance lords.

Especially cavalry.

In order to make up the number of soldiers, under the condition that the prairie lord offered to donate horses, he even specially recruited players who can ride horses and shoot arrows in reality to make up for the number of cavalry soldiers.

It's a bit of a dead end.

"That depends on the game between the enemy and us."

Regarding Grant's confidence, Mike was noncommittal, "Anyway, from Chang'an's point of view, they don't need to pay any extra price for this attack, and they can do whatever they want."

"you're right."

Grant is having a headache because of this, "I have to admit that Chang'an chose the right time. Right now, the millions of coalition forces are still gathering, so it's not appropriate to confront Chang'an head-on."

The implication is that they are preparing to retreat strategically.

With only the [-] coalition troops in his hand, Grant would not dare to confront Chang'an Gang.

Losing also affects morale.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Grant's mission is to win the battle and destroy Chang'an. As for the survival of Macon County and Bay County territory, it is not within his consideration.

at this point.

Instead, he thought of going with his predecessor Rutgers.

"Then, should we notify the lords of the two counties now and prepare for the move?" Mike asked for instructions.

He didn't want to take the blame.

From the overall point of view, Grant's decision-making is of course no problem.

But for the lords of the two counties, it must be resentful to be abandoned by the alliance for no reason and become an abandoned son, especially since they had vigorously supported the alliance before.

It ended up like this?
"Notify!"

Grant didn't care, what right did the weak have?
If there is no coalition formed at the alliance level, not to mention the two counties, even the entire River Valley Province, I am afraid that Chang'an will step under his feet.

What do these people have to complain about?

"The headquarters is also going to retreat, so let's just move to the next door to Pelican County." Grant added.

"it is good!"

Mike is also happy to stay away from the front line.

.........

After receiving the "moving" notice, the lords of the two counties were blown up.

"Grant, this coward, didn't he yell loudly before? Why did Chang'an flee to Pelican County in fright when he attacked?"

"You're so spineless, you've just confronted Chang'an!"

"I was really blind back then, and donated three soldiers, ten farmers, and hundreds of catties of grain to the coalition forces. I originally expected the coalition forces to keep my territory safe, but this is the result?"

"Pooh!"

The problem is, no matter how loud these lords are, it will not help.

Either take the initiative to evacuate.

Or wait to be attacked by the Chang'an army.

Even if they want to unite on their own to fight against the Chang'an army, they can't do it.

Even if the troops from all the territories of Macon County are assembled, they can only gather an army of 3 people. How can a group of trash fight against the elites of Chang'an?
The rational choice is to exchange the population and materials of the territory into capital for future settlement.

Timely stop loss is the best policy.

Faced with the venting of the lords of the two counties on the national channel, the lords of other regions also tacitly remained silent.

Pretend not to see the same.

Except for the lords of the River Valley Province, the purpose of the other provincial lords is only to attack Chang'an. As for the price that the River Valley Province will have to pay in the process, they don't care much.

There is even no shortage of schadenfreudes.

After Chang'an City was broken, Haiwan County became a piece of fat.

Who is not envious?

Originally, Macon County and other surrounding lords were all close to the water.

it's good now.

Chang'an helped them and artificially created a no-man's land around them.

What reason is there to stop it?

For those big lords, if the lords of Macon County and Bay County relocate collectively, they will be the biggest beneficiaries, and it is even less likely to stand up against them.

Happy to accept the big gift package from the lords of the two counties.
