Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 166 Chang'an strikes back fiercely, the coalition forces admit defeat again!
Just as Tang Jing expected.

The counterattack of the coalition forces was fierce and swift. After annihilating the vanguard of Chang'an, they immediately turned around and took a short rest in the rear before sending them all to Palm County and Kana County.

Bingfeng pointed directly at Chang'an Feixiong Army.

But in the same way, Chang'an's quick response also exceeded the expectations of the coalition forces.

Because of the existence of Fei Lian, the transmission of information is very fast, whether it is between the frontline army headquarters and Chang'an City, or between the army headquarters and the frontline departments.

In addition, Tang Jing was alert in predicting and making decisive decisions.

At the same time that the second assembly of the coalition forces was completed, the five divisions under the Flying Bear Corps had also completed the shrinking of the front and retreated to the pre-selected defensive positions.

Generally, they are all kinds of hills, condescending.

This caused a great obstacle to the coalition's ambush. Their original plan was to completely encircle and annihilate the various units of the Flying Bear Army on the plain by surprise.

Now they have to face a tough battle.

But there is no way, the combat intention of the coalition forces has been exposed, and there is only one chance. They can only bite the bullet, organize a large army, and take the initiative to attack the various hills.

In an attempt to achieve the goal of encircling and suppressing the various ministries of the Flying Bear Legion with the advantage of force.

But he was hit head-on by the archers of the Flying Bear Legion.

In this round of army reorganization, the three major legions of City Guard, Flying Bear, and Feng Xiang have a total of 18 elf war bows, and the equipment rate of each war bow exceeds one-third.

Being condescending will definitely be a nightmare for the attacker.

But the coalition forces were already in a difficult situation, and could only charge against the mountain head round after round against the rain of arrows, in exchange for the enemy's casualties with their superior strength.

The battle was brutal for both parties.

changed the course of the war.

It was the first infantry division of the Guards Corps who received the order in the early morning and rushed to the front line for reinforcements.

"So fast?"

Whether it was Douglas, who was sitting in the base camp, or the three commanders, Rutgers, Chester, and Duke who were commanding at the front, they were all very surprised.

In their plan, the battle should be over when Chang'an reinforcements arrive.

But now it's only halfway through...

This is so embarrassing.

"What do you think?"

In the military situation room of the base camp, Douglas looked up at Staff Officer Mike.

"If you want to continue to attack, you can only ask the province of Ica or Bit to send the provincial coalition forces to intercept the first infantry division of the enemy's guards." Mike is also unequivocal.

There are less than 50 coalition forces participating in the attack on the Flying Bear Army.

The strength of the army is only a little more than three times that of the Flying Bear Army. Because each unit of the Flying Bear Army occupies the commanding heights and has built defensive fortifications, the siege is already very laborious.

It is impossible to divide the troops to intercept the [-]st Guards Infantry Division.

But it doesn't work if you don't intercept it.

The First Infantry Division of the Guards Corps was an all-heavy infantry division with amazing combat power. Once they rushed to the battlefield, it would be a breeze to rescue any division of the Flying Bear Corps.

If you really want to ignore it, you may be able to reverse the situation of the battle.

"In that case, the follow-up plan to encircle and suppress the City Guard Corps will come to naught."

Douglas was obviously a little reconciled.

"The plan to siege the Flying Bear Corps has been blocked, and it will be difficult to take down the City Guard Corps in the future." Mike reminded.

"What did Grant say?"

Douglas still wanted to struggle again, the difference between a big victory and a small victory was too great.

He was also unwilling to lead his troops out of the River Valley Province.

In the River Valley Province, the coalition forces are the absolute main force in the battle against Chang'an. As the commander of the coalition forces, Douglas' status is naturally detached.

But once the alliance abandons the valley province, it turns to deploy defenses in the three provinces of Ika, Bit, and Tara.

The coalition forces are bound to be dispersed in three places.

Moreover, it is also constrained by the coalition forces of the three provinces and the council.

If Douglas wanted to say the same thing, it would not be so easy. He had to discuss everything with the three provinces.

It must be unpleasant.

"Our people have already approached Grant. Grant neither refused nor agreed. He is obviously waiting and watching." Mike said helplessly.

"This old fox."

Douglas was also very helpless, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then let the Ika Provincial Allied Forces come for reinforcements."

"Yes!"

Mike was about to make contact when Bron rushed in.

"The battle report just received shows that half an hour ago, the enemy city guard army and Fengxiang army launched a fierce attack again after briefly shrinking the front line."

"And the offensive is obviously more violent and radical than before, and the coalition forces of the River Valley Province can't stop it at all."

"..."

Douglas and Mike looked at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Chang'an's reaction was too fast!

Not only was the reinforcement fast, but after realizing that all the coalition forces had been transferred to the east to fight, they immediately seized the opportunity of the emptiness of the local defenses in Ord County, Hard Rock County, and Choctaw County and quickly launched a counterattack.

In the first episode of the Allied Forces, the previous guerrilla tactics naturally no longer exist.

And without the constraints of guerrilla tactics, Chang'an naturally didn't need to engage in any horizontal push, and directly launched a swift and violent offensive, intending to win the land of the three counties as quickly as possible.

It is to compare the speed with the league.

Was the land of the three counties the first to fall, or the Flying Bear Army to be destroyed first?

And obviously.

Chang'an is obviously more confident in the strength of the three legions.

"General, hurry up and order the coalition forces to withdraw, otherwise, the stubborn stone county will definitely not be able to defend it. The news just came from the front line that the main attack on the stubborn stone county is the second cavalry division of the enemy's guard regiment."

Seeing that Douglas was silent, Bron was in a hurry.

Once Wanshi County falls, all his plans and ambitions will be gone with the wind.

Can you be in a hurry?

"It's a joke. Wouldn't it be a failure to withdraw the troops now?" Douglas refused.

"Are you kidding me?"

Bron's face also turned cold on the spot, and he said fiercely: "If the coalition army can't defend the stubborn stone county, then they don't even think about retreating from the Hegu province, they will die together!"

"threaten me?"

Douglas also had a cold look in his eyes.

"You say yes, I'll go all out anyway."

Bron was also pushed into a hurry.

"Hey, what the general means is that you can ask for help from the provincial coalition forces."

Seeing this, Mike quickly stood up to smooth things over.

"Better so."

Bron glanced at Douglas and turned to leave.

Mike followed.

Half an hour later, Mike turned back again, with an unprecedented solemn expression: "General, the provinces of Ica and Bit have refused to send troops for reinforcements."

"These short-sighted guys!"

Douglas had already vaguely guessed it.

Before Mike came, he also urgently applied for an alliance council meeting. At the meeting, John, the representative of Ica province, and Mark, the representative of Bit province, were unwilling to send troops.

The reason is also very simple.

The two were originally inclined to say that the coalition forces should withdraw from the River Valley Province.

It was just that the counterattack plan proposed by Douglas was very attractive, so he agreed to give it a try, but now, the plan is not going smoothly, and it is only normal to retreat before the battle.

They don't want to take risks.

"What if the coalition forces lose too much in the blocking battle and our homeland defenses have loopholes?"

Douglas was speechless.

"General, what should we do now?" Mike asked.

"What else can I do? Notify the front line, leave the battle, and withdraw from the River Valley Province." Without reinforcements from the provincial coalition forces, Douglas did not dare to take risks and continued to besiege the enemy Flying Bear Army.

That would be too risky!

"What about Brunner?" Mike asked.

"Bron?"

Douglas sneered, "It's just a pawn who doesn't know that he is a pawn."

Mike understood immediately.

.........

Eastern Tara province.

The staff of the coalition staff are still trying to convince Grant.

"As long as my lord agrees to cooperate with the coalition forces, it is not impossible to defeat the enemy's Flying Bear Army and City Guard Army in one fell swoop, and follow up with the victory to destroy the enemy's Fengxiang Army in one fell swoop."

"Chang'an's strength has been greatly damaged, which is also good news for Pelican County."

"Isn't it?"

"Moreover, the alliance has promised that as long as your lord is willing to cooperate with the coalition forces this time, then your lord will replace Bron, the lord of Wanshi County, as the representative of River Valley Province."

In order to win over Grant, the alliance also took great pains.

He even sold Braum privately.

Poor Bron still doesn't know yet, thinking that the alliance still depends on him.

It's very sad!

"The conditions are indeed very attractive, but I have to think about it again." Grant smiled.

"How long do you have to think about it, my lord?"

"Let's talk about it after the battle in the east comes to an end."

As the coalition general who has fought against Chang'an for the longest time, Grant is extremely afraid of Chang'an, and does not think that Douglas' three-step plan can be implemented smoothly.

That's too underestimating Chang'an.

Sure enough, while the two were talking, Willie, the Marshal of the Guard Brigade, sent a small note.

Grant opened it up, an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then handed the note to the coalition staff officer sitting opposite, "It seems that I don't have to make a choice."

However, it has already received the news that the coalition forces have taken the initiative to lift the siege of the Flying Bear Army.

"This this…"

The coalition staff was dumbfounded after watching it.

"It's okay, next time, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate again."

Grant was really treacherous.

Although he has already had an affair with Chang'an, he has not given up contact with the alliance. He also hopes to be accepted by the alliance again, and then he will be whitewashed.

The reputation of a traitor is not very pleasant.

"I will take your words with me."

The staff officer of the coalition army is also a powerful character, and he didn't do everything well either.

The two smiled at each other.
