Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 160 The prelude to the city-state era, the province of Tara has changed!
"Hey, it's not impossible to discuss digging a trench."

"Yes, yes, it is an extraordinary time. Afterwards, we will restore the ecology."

"We obey the overall situation!"

As soon as Yue Fei and Guo Ziyi were tough, the elves were scared instantly.

The Chang'an army really wanted to build fortifications on the hills outside the elf tribe. Although it could also resist the demon tide, it would expose the elves gathering place to the demon tide.

At that time, there will be no feathers all over the place?
When the moment of life and death is really at stake, he is as proud as an elf, and his figure can be said to be soft.

Who will really be overwhelmed?
Healing the "little stubbornness" of the elves is just a small episode of the two generals Yue Fei and Guo Ziyi. The two of them went to the mountains. The real busy thing is to survey the geography of the mountains and rivers under the guidance of the elves and dwarves.

Where is it suitable to establish commanding heights, where is suitable for ambushes, and where is suitable for large interspersed.

False field surveys are not acceptable.

During this period, Yue Fei, who was in charge of guarding the western section, also received an order from the Military Affairs Administration——

"Send a heavy armored brigade into Tara province."

Yue Fei got the order, went through the deployment of the divisions and brigades of the Longchamp Army in his mind, and quickly locked on the target, and ordered the entrapment brigade under the 7th Division to carry out this mopping up task.

With the talent of Gao Shun, the commander of the brigade, he should be foolproof.

After all, the essence of this raid on Tara Province was to make a big commotion in the southeast corner of Tara Province and attract the provincial coalition forces from the Lonely Mountain Fortress to help.

It is also necessary to ensure that the troops in the headquarters can finally retreat unscathed, and that the troops cannot be plunged into the war quagmire of Tara Province and make a wedding dress for Grant for nothing.

It is still more of a test for the commanding generals to adapt to the situation.

Gao Shun, as a veteran who was the first to join the territory, had been in charge of the Squad Brigade very early on. This time, after some experience in the war against Mochao, he would almost be promoted to the commander-in-chief.

.........

the other side.

The three armies of Chengwei, Fengxiang, and Feixiong were already in place, but they were not in a hurry to attack.

In addition to waiting for changes in Tara Province to implement Plan B, the three major armies themselves also need to take a break after arriving at the scheduled assembly point.

Take the Fengxiang Army led by Chang Yuchun as an example.

It is impossible for the mighty 15 troops to be stationed in the preset Sola County of Choctaw County.

索拉县只是作为凤翔军团的大本营，除了第16/17师驻扎在此，剩下的第18/19/20师则是被部署在索拉县的两翼以及后方。

Form a complete attack formation.

After the divisions set up camp, they had to arrange for scouts to investigate the basic situation of the target area while waiting for the arrival of follow-up food and grass supplies.

The base camp also needs to find out the size and deployment of the coalition forces on the opposite side.

Where is it possible to say.

As soon as the army arrived at the assembly point, their eyes were still darkened, and they directly crossed the border to start a war.

That's brave.

.........

Chang'an City.

"My lord, after summarizing the reports from the Fengxiang Legion and the Flying Bear Legion, as well as the investigation by the Military Intelligence Division, there is indeed no sign of a large-scale gathering of enemy troops in Choctaw County, Palm County, and Kana County."

Qin Shuang came to report again.

There is a war on the front line, and Tang Jing sits in the headquarters of Chang'an City, so of course it is impossible to completely let go.

At the very least——

The five armies that are going on this expedition are not affiliated with each other, so the Military Affairs Administration is required to coordinate and dispatch them in a unified manner.

And the Military Affairs Administration has no big bosses in charge.

It can only be that Tang Jing, the lord, has worked a little harder, always paying attention to the frontline dynamics and coordinating the ministries.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu was there to give advice.

"There was no large-scale assembly, did they take the initiative to retreat, or what?" Tang Jing asked.

"It's not like retreating."

Qin Shuang shook his head, "According to the investigation of the Special Forces and Fei Lian, the coalition forces appeared in all the villages and towns in the three counties, and they should be broken up into pieces."

"Hey, wouldn't the coalition forces want to fight guerrilla warfare with us?" Tang Jing was also stunned.

There is always something wrong with the style of painting.

"The coalition forces probably want to use this method to delay our offensive so as to buy time for the construction of the city."

"It's beautiful to think about."

Tang Jing shook his head with a smile, "The enemy wants to engage in delay tactics, so we will use fast to fight slow, and inform Bai Chuan to let her lead the second cavalry division of the Guards Corps to participate in the attack on Choctaw County."

Pelican County is already in Chang'an's pocket.

If Choctaw County is taken again, the defense chain established by the alliance will be smashed to pieces.

no longer exists.

"Yes!"

Qin Shuang turned and left.

.........

Obstinate County, Obstinate County.

Knowing the guerrilla tactics formulated by the coalition commander Douglas, the most displeased, of course, was the lords of the three counties who were regarded as a chessboard. They sent representatives to Wanshi County one after another to ask Bron for an explanation.

"Bron!"

"We followed your suggestion, formed an alliance, donated troops and materials, and raised [-] local coalition troops for the alliance. It's not just to be treated as an abandoned child as soon as the war starts."

Why again?
Rutgers and Grant, the former two commanders of the coalition forces, have done similar things.

The wounded are always the lords of the valley province.

"Cough, this is the coalition's decision, and there is nothing I can do about it. You have all heard that Douglas' attitude is very tough. We can only choose to accept it or not." Bron was also very helpless.

As a chessboard, the River Valley Province had very little right to speak in the alliance.

What do you still want?

"That can't just be at the mercy of the coalition forces? If this is the case, then we would rather transfer the population and supplies than be taken advantage of by this."

The lords of the three counties were obviously dissatisfied with Bron's response.

"If the army wants to share the risk together, I have another proposal." Bron said.

"What proposal?"

"Based on the River Valley Provincial Council, the River Valley City-State will be established to bring together all the territories in the province from a legal point of view. In this way, everyone can truly advance and retreat together."

"After the city-state is established, the territory will no longer be divided between you and me, and the loss will naturally not be divided between you and me."

"No matter which territory is attacked by Chang'an, the loss will be shared by the city-state. The lord of the conquered territory can be properly resettled in the city-state to ensure that its interests are not damaged."

Bron seems to have premeditated, to tell the whole story of his plan.

As the representative of the lord of the River Valley Province and a member of the Alliance Council, Bron did have enough motivation to further unite the local lords of the River Valley Province.

Twist the lords of the valley province into one rope.

otherwise.

Every time the coalition forces make an "abandonment" operation, the River Valley Province will suffer a heavy loss.

If this goes on like this, without Chang'an's attack, the foundation of the River Valley Province will be hollowed out in the process of "abandoning sons" again and again, resulting in a large outflow of local lords.

And once the power of the River Valley Province is weakened to a certain extent, it will completely lose the right to speak in the alliance.

Now it can also serve as a "chessboard for shouting".

Have the confidence to ask for various reinforcements from the entire alliance.

future.

If the strength is greatly reduced, it can only serve as a "silent chessboard".

Can't do anything.

"Then try?"

The lords of the three counties didn't have a better solution, so they chose to give it a try.

If you really want to transfer the population and supplies to other territories, the lords who did this in the previous waves generally do not live very well in the new territories.

The sky is the limit.

That is to guard an attached village and be a small rural landlord.

Many people are not reconciled.

And once the valley city-state is formed, even if the territory is damaged, they can find a better position in the city-state. Its platform is indeed much higher than most of the alliance's territories.

Worth a try.

.........

"Still smart!"

Douglas, the commander of the coalition army, was quite happy to learn that Bron was taking the lead in preparing for the establishment of the valley city-state.

It can be regarded as helping him out.

If the lords of the three counties did not cooperate and moved together, then his guerrilla warfare would not be effective.

You can't really retreat, can you?

The three counties were already the best barriers, and if they retreated further, they could only retreat to Stone County, Ord County, and Nash County, all of which were about to retreat to the provincial border.

Once there is no strategic depth, there is less room for Douglas to operate.

It is also easy to be criticized by the alliance.

It cannot be said that as soon as Douglas took office, he followed Rutgers and Grant's predecessors and played the trick of abandoning children. How is it different from his predecessors?

I'm thinking about it.

Staff officer Mike rushed to report: "General, I just received news that a heavy infantry brigade appeared in the southeast corner of Tara Province. The preliminary judgment is that it is a unit under the command of the Chang'an Tiance Corps."

"what's the situation?"

Douglas was also obviously taken aback, "Didn't the Tiance Corps enter the North Luo Mountains to resist the demon tide?"

"It's entering the mountain."

Mike nodded, "This can be confirmed."

In order to keep track of the movements of the various armies in Chang'an, the coalition forces sent multiple special forces to lurk and follow them.

You can never go wrong.

"I just don't know if this heavy infantry brigade is only responsible for the outpost, or if it's some kind of conspiracy by Chang'an," Mike added.

"Hasn't the magic tide in the North Fall Mountains exploded yet?" Douglas asked.

"not yet."

"Then it's a bit difficult to judge, let's continue to observe."

Without sufficient intelligence support, Douglas is not easy to make a judgment, especially when facing such a cunning opponent as Chang An.

"it is good!"

Mike agrees.

The conflict happened in Tara Province, and it had nothing to do with the coalition forces. The crisis was handled by the local lord of Tara Province.The main task of the coalition forces is to deal with Chang'an's attack on the front line.
