Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 187 The fortress fell, and the alliance door opened!

And no matter how infighting the alliance is, the offensive of the Chang'an army is real.

primary target of attack.

It is the county seat of Lorton County and Nash County except the county seat.

The city walls of these counties were originally planned and designed as a square with a side length of one kilometer because of the urgent situation and the rush of time. The garrison inside ranged from 5000 to [-] people, so they could only be regarded as small fortresses.

It is not difficult to attack.

The east and west armies, with the division as the unit, launched an attack on multiple counties at the same time.

In order to capture the fortress by surprise, including the two county towns, under Bai Qi's confession, when the various ministries attacked the county town, they did not resort to killers such as Kuafu Giant, Magic Crystal Cannon, and Bone Dragon.

Even Li Yuanba, the killer, did not take part in breaking the city.

The armies from all walks of life adopted a relatively conventional method of attacking the city. First, they took advantage of the large number of crossbowmen to suppress the defenders at the top of the city with a wave of archers.Siege equipment such as trebuchets and bed crossbows also followed suit.

After that.

Only then did the third-tier heavy infantry in infantry armor be sent out to attack the city head and the city gate at the same time.

Although the siege method is quite satisfactory, it can't hold back the third-tier heavy infantry, which is really strong. In addition, they have the advantage of archers, so they still break through the city gates abruptly, or kill the top of the city.

Although casualties are inevitable, it is also a good exercise of the troops' siege capabilities.

With the offensive and defensive transition between Chang'an and the Aztec Alliance, Chang'an will continue to face siege battles in the future if it wants to continue to expand externally.

.........

Because the Chang'an army came from multiple routes, the coalition forces could not be sent by mail between the counties.

They can only fight on their own.

Coupled with the encirclement of the base camp of the coalition forces and the isolation of communication, it is even more impossible to form effective cooperation.

The last big merger of the Aztec Alliance, although it effectively integrated the strength of the small and medium lords and improved the combat potential, it also brought a sequelae——

Due to the annexation of territories, the number of territories dropped sharply, making it impossible for the Union army to implement flexible mail transmission between towns and villages, and then it was no longer possible to implement guerrilla warfare tactics.

The only choice is to go head-to-head with Chang'an's army.

And Chang'an.

The most feared thing is head-to-head.

.........

Three days.

In just three days, the two armies from east and west successfully wiped out the outer counties outside the two counties.

Surround Lorton and Nash counties.

During this period, the alliance has not reached an agreement on whether to reinforce the two counties.

it's good now.

As the outlying counties were wiped out one by one, even if the alliance wanted to reinforce them, it couldn't do it.

Because the Chang'an army has cut off all connections between Lorton County, Nash County and the three fortresses, if the alliance wants to reinforce, it can only pass through the Chang'an defense zone.

This is very dangerous.

Not only that, as the outlying counties were removed one by one, Chang'an also successfully cut off the contact between the coalition forces and the alliance. Not to mention the messengers, even a bird could not pass through the Chang'an defense zone.

Based on.

The league seems to only hope that Lorton and Nash counties can hold on to themselves.

After all, there is Chang'an City Pearl and Jade in front.

The two county cities, as the outpost war fortresses that the alliance focused on building, not only garrisoned large troops in the city, but also fully learned the experience of Chang'an City, and both built Neicang City.

There is enough food for the soldiers and civilians in the city for more than half a year.

At the same time, it also reserves a very sufficient amount of city defense materials such as falling rocks and rolling logs. It is also equipped with trebuchets, and the number of archers is also extremely impressive.

therefore.

The alliance is confident that with these two fortified cities, it can completely block the attack from Chang'an.

It also made Chang'an suffer from the siege.

If the Chang'an army suffered too many casualties during the siege, the alliance may send reinforcements at any time, sending troops from the three major fortresses to enter the battlefield of the two counties.

Give the Chang'an army a fatal blow!
In the eyes of the league.

No matter how hard the two counties pull their hips, they will definitely have no problem if they stick to it for a month.

There is absolutely no need to rush.

It is also based on the above judgments that the alliance has the leisure time to argue about whether to increase its troops.

Even though the big lords of the alliance are arguing fiercely, even Beiyuan Province, which has made it clear that it will not send more troops to the coalition, is actually preparing its troops and speeding up the formation of local garrison troops at the county level.

Once the front line needs it, additional troops can be sent to the front line at any time.

The idea is good.

However, the evolution of things often does not develop in the direction expected by the alliance.

.........

March 6, early morning.

On the second day after Chang'an's east and west armies swept the outer counties of the two counties in one fell swoop, they surrounded Lorton and Nash counties at the same time.

Chang'an's army finally showed its ferocious fangs.

west.

Yue Fei, the leader of the Longxiang Legion, led the 6th, 7th and 8th divisions, with 150 Kuafu giants, six magic crystal cannons, Suzaku Xiaohong and the magic ape, to surprise the Okuyama fortress.

north.

Chang Yuchun, commander of the Fengxiang Legion, led the 16th, 18th, and 19th divisions, and also brought 150 Kuafu giants, six magic crystal cannons, and the bone dragon Sea Dragon King to surprise the Luoshan Fortress.

Also cooperating with the Chang'an Navy.

east.

Xue Rengui, the leader of the Feixiong Legion, led the 21st Division, 22nd Division and 23rd Division, with 150 Kuafu giants, six magic crystal cannons, and sixth-order magic dragons, to surprise the Senshan Fortress.

The three armies marched hand in hand and launched an attack on the fort at the same time.

The siege method is also basically the same.

First, let the flying beast pets such as Suzaku and Demon Dragon attack the fortress from the air, spray flames, suppress the archers at the top of the city, and destroy the trebuchets on the fortress.

Then let the giant Kuafu push the magic crystal cannon and aim directly at the gate of the fortress.

After counting the cannons, the gate of the city burst open.

After that, the army drove straight in, setting off a heinous killing in the fortress.

Facing the combination of "magic dragon + giant + magic crystal cannon", whether it is the defenders of Okushan Fortress, or the defenders of Luoshan Fortress and Senshan Fortress, they are directly fooled.

Before they could react, the city gate was blasted open.

How do you keep this?
From the beginning of the outbreak of the war, Chang'an's signal to the outside world was to wipe out Lorton County and Nash County. Unexpectedly, he even shot a feint in the middle and attacked the three major fortresses.

Although Douglas, the commander of the coalition forces, had warned before, he was still a little lax in the end.

Under the superposition of various factors.

As a result, in the eyes of the alliance, the three fortresses that were originally impregnable changed hands within half a day.

This undoubtedly dropped a blockbuster in the league!

Caused an uproar.

"What's the situation? Why did the three fortresses just lose it?"

"Could it be that the fortress defenders are a bunch of idiots? Knowing that the war has already broken out, they can still be successfully attacked by Chang'an? It's unforgivable!"

"Incomprehensible, simply incomprehensible!"

"After another defeat, can't there be some good news?"

In the past half a month, because Chang'an has died down, the alliance lords have slightly dispelled their fear of Chang'an.

How can you think.

As soon as the flames of war were rekindled, Chang'an sent another "big gift".

Fear hit like a tide again.

Because it was so shocking, not only the lords of the three major provinces of Ika, Bit, and Tara panicked, but also the lords of the entire alliance were shocked by Chang'an's shocking means.

How did you take down the three fortresses?
It's also incredible.

Naturally, the Alliance Council held an emergency meeting as soon as possible.

"Giant dragons, magic crystal cannons, giants..."

After listening to the reports of the three major provinces, before the meeting, the representatives of other provinces who had put on a posture of asking for guilt fell into an embarrassing silence.

Put yourself in their shoes, if it were them, they probably wouldn't be able to resist.

You have to throw it away!
"This is Chang'an's big move."

Gail, the representative of Xihai Province, was worried, "Looking at it this way, Chang'an's attack on the two counties is more like a cover. The real purpose is actually the three fortresses."

The simultaneous fall of the three fortresses meant that the Aztec Alliance was open.

In the future, Chang'an can go out of the River Valley Province and attack any of the provinces of Ika, Bit, and Tara.And once the three major provinces fall one after another, the alliance will not be far from ending.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the alliance was so shocked when the three fortresses fell at the same time.

"Can you take the fort back?" Someone asked with concern.

"It's hard!"

The person who answered was John, the representative of the Ica Province. He had long since lost his previous high spirits. "The fort itself is built in a dangerous place. It is difficult to attack and easy to defend. Once it is occupied..."

The alliance does not have such big killers as giant dragons and magic crystal cannons.

Even if there is.

But Chang'an is not bad, so how could he give the alliance a chance?

"Now it's not a question of whether to take back the three major fortresses. Have you ever thought about what will happen to the coalition forces that are still stranded in Lorton and Nash counties as the three major fortresses fall into Chang'an's hands?"

The one who spoke was Simmons, the representative of Northern Plains Province.

"..."

As soon as Simmons said this, the group fell into a silent silence again.

All were horrified.

Yes.

With the capture of the three major fortresses, the coalition forces stationed in the two counties were truly helpless.

previously conceived by the alliance.

The plan to use the two counties to drag down the Chang'an army was naturally aborted.

What's even more embarrassing is that due to the isolation of communication, the coalition forces still don't know that the three major fortresses have been captured by Chang'an, and it is impossible to leave by mail.

It can only be "sit and wait".

It is even said that even if the alliance discusses any countermeasures, it will be difficult to contact the coalition forces.

This is too cruel.

"Don't hesitate any longer, and don't report any unrealistic fantasies anymore. Let's start the alliance-wide war mobilization. With Chang'an's greed, the next battlefield will definitely be Ika, Bit and Tara provinces."

The representative of Ica Province, John, spoke out urgently.

Among the three major provinces, Tara Province doesn't need Chang'an to do anything, so it is estimated that Grant can take care of it.

Bit provinces are in the middle.

It is also unlikely to become the primary target of Chang'an.

The next battlefield.

There is a high probability that it is the province of Ica.

It's no wonder that John was so anxious and asked the alliance to start war mobilization.

The crisis is imminent!

"agree!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

This time, even Simmons, the representative of Northern Plains Province who jumped back before, did not object again.

Chang'an is terrible.

If you don't deal with it properly and take it lightly, the alliance is really in danger of overturning.

Must go all out!
.........

And no matter how the alliance mobilizes, Chang'an is still advancing step by step.

After conquering the three major fortresses, Tang Jing, who was in Chang'an, seldom directly intervened in Baiqi's command and adjusted the garrison troops in Okushan Fortress.

Lian Po led the 13th and 14th Divisions of the City Guard Corps to replace Yue Fei's troops and stationed in the Okuyama Fortress.

no doubt.

Tara Province is not among Chang'an's priority targets, but is on the defensive.

No matter it is Okuyama Fortress, Luoshan Fortress, or Senshan Fortress, due to the narrow terrain, they can only station about [-] troops.

That's why.

After the three major fortresses were broken through the city gates, they were soon conquered by Chang'an's army.

In addition to the 13th Division and the 14th Division, the 15th Division of the City Guards Corps will also be stationed in Odd County for a long time, becoming a reserve force for the defenders of the Okuyama Fortress.

Once something happens to Okuyama Fortress, the 15th Division can go to support at any time.

.........

In addition to adjusting the garrison troops at Okuyama Fortress, under the instruction of Tang Jing, the General Administration of Military Affairs under the leadership of Du Ruhui has not been idle since the start of the battle.

In addition to providing support for front-line troops in terms of logistics, intelligence, and weapons and equipment, the General Administration of Military Affairs also has a very important job, which is responsible for receiving, screening, and reorganizing prisoners of war.

The general offensive against Lorton County and Nash County has not yet started, Tang Jing has already proposed to use the prisoners of war this time to expand the three armies in one go, namely——

Huben Legion, Leopard Tao Legion and Eagle Yang Legion.

In the past three days, the east and west armies have conquered [-] county towns and captured more than [-] people.The three major fortresses were conquered, and more than [-] people were captured in total.

Putting it all together, even if some unqualified soldiers are eliminated, and some of them are diverted to the local garrison, the rest is enough to form a full-fledged main battle army.

The first one formed was the Huben Legion.

按照编制，虎贲军团将下辖第26、27、28、29以及30师。

Tang Jing cut through the mess quickly and directly announced a series of general appointments.

Meng Tian, ​​the former deputy commander of the Feixiong Army, was promoted to the commander of the Huben Army;
Li Siye, the former deputy commander of the 20th Division, was promoted to the commander of the 26th Division;
Yang Zaixing, the former deputy commander of the 25th Division, was promoted to the commander of the 27th Division;
Gao Shun, the former brigade commander of the 7th Division, was promoted to the commander of the 28th Division;
Lu Feng, the former brigade commander of the Longxiang Brigade of the 1st Division, was promoted to the commander of the 29th Division;
Tu Gang, former brigade commander of the 2nd Division Shaking Mountain Brigade, was promoted to commander of the 30th Division.

From the promotion and appointment of generals, it is not difficult to see Tang Jing's good intentions.

Needless to say, Meng Tian, ​​the leader of the legion, had already made the decision.Among the five newly appointed division commanders, Li Siye and Yang Zaixing were also transitional as deputy division commanders before, so they were promoted as a matter of course.

Among the three generals who have recently been promoted from brigade commander to division commander, there are Gao Shun who represents historical generals, Lu Feng who represents player generals, and Tu Gang who represents wild generals.

What is played is a balance and fairness.
