Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 167 Strike a truce, the coalition forces regroup!
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Chang'an City.

Tang Jing was not surprised to receive the news that the coalition forces had taken the initiative to lift the siege of the Feixiong Army.

Regardless of admitting it or not, after experiencing the first two failures, both the alliance and the coalition forces have actually cast a shadow on Chang'an.

Create fear.

Once the battle is unfavorable, subconsciously think about preserving strength instead of fighting to the end.

A little bit of blood was missing in his bones.

"Fortunately, my lord made a wise decision, which prevented the Flying Bear Army from suffering." Qin Shuang was still terrified.

If it wasn't for the timely reinforcements from the First Infantry Division of the Guards Legion, even if the Flying Bear Legion wasn't completely wiped out this time, it would still be seriously injured, which in turn would affect the entire battle situation.

"Just a fluke."

Tang Jing sweated quietly.

As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, any mistake in his decision-making may cause tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the pressure is not ordinary.

Fortunately, since he came to the wilderness, he has not rested on his laurels and is still learning.

otherwise
"Keming, in the future, I will have to rely on you more for military matters."

Tang Jing smiled and looked at the middle-aged man sitting on one side. It was Du Ruhui, a famous official of the Tang Dynasty who was summoned by him with the B-level talent summoning card rewarded by the system.

Du Ruhui, courtesy name Keming, was a prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty and the son of Du Zha, governor of Xiangzhou.

Born in the Jingzhao Du family, he was an official in the Sui Dynasty at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty and was awarded Fuyang County Captain.

After the rise of troops in Jinyang, he became a counselor in the shogunate of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of Tang Dynasty, and he was awarded Cao Junjun.He moved to Shaanxi Province as the chief history, and rebelled from Ping Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande.

He moved to the Qin Palace to work as a Zhonglang, actively strategizing, and was admired by the people of the time.

After the establishment of the Literature Museum, it ranked first among the eighteen bachelors.

Participated in the planning of "Xuanwumen Change" with Fang Xuanling and others. In the first year of Zhenguan, he and his eldest grandson Wuji, Yu Chigong, Fang Xuanling, and Hou Junji ranked first in meritorious service, worshiped the prince Zuo Shuzi, and canonized Cai Guogong.

After Tang Taizong ascended the throne, he successively served as Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Ministry of Inspection, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Zhenguan died of illness in four years, at the age of 46, and was posthumously given to Sikong and Lai Guogong, with the posthumous title of Cheng.

The 17th year of Zhenguan, Lingyan Pavilion, ranked third.

A proper boss.

Therefore, after Tang Jing proposed to let Du Ruhui take up the post in the Military Affairs Department, Qin Shuang tactfully gave up the post of director and let Du Ruhui take over.

She served as deputy director and director general of the Department of Military Intelligence.

before.

The Chang'an army is only active around Chang'an City. Qin Shuang, the director of military affairs, is more like a logistics director.

But now.

The Chang'an army went out everywhere, and the commanders of the various legions were all famous generals such as Yue Fei, Guo Ziyi, Lian Po, Chang Yuchun, and Xue Rengui. Qin Shuang was really under great pressure.

Taking this coalition attack as an example, she had to rely on Tang Jing's judgment.

Tang Jing was not provided with decision-making assistance.

Already dereliction of duty.

In view of this, Qin Shuang was willing to step down from the post of Director of Military Affairs.

"Your servant must do his best."

As a newcomer, Du Ruhui was very modest, but he was inexplicably kind to the name of Chang'an.

Dream back to Datang.

"My lord, General Xue Rengui asks for instructions. After the coalition forces take the initiative to clear the siege, should they pursue it?" Qin Shuang asked for instructions.

"never mind."

Tang Jing waved his hand, "The coalition army can't kill them all. If you chase them rashly, you may be ambushed halfway. The most important thing in your eyes is to take the opportunity to conquer the counties as quickly as possible, and not give the lords of the counties a chance to transfer."

For Chang'an, winning the entire river valley province is the greatest victory.

There is no need to grow branches.

In case the coalition forces cheat, what kind of teleportation tactics will be used in the middle of the road will also be a headache.

and.

Although the Flying Bear Legion was out of trouble, they had suffered heavy losses, so it was not appropriate to pursue them.

"understand!"

Qin Shuang was about to turn around and leave when he got the order.

"My lord, I think it's better to be slow than fast at this time."

Du Ruhui also learned about the battle report urgently, and immediately suggested: "The coalition army failed in the ambush and retreated voluntarily. The loss is not too big, and they may not be willing to surrender."

"As long as our side fights steadily and does not allow the enemy to take advantage of it, we will be invincible."

Du Ruhui's words were also vaguely reminding Tang Jing that the more victorious he had to be, the calmer he must be, and he must not be dazzled by the victory and cause his head to become overheated.

"Makes sense."

Tang Jingshen took it for granted, "Order the three major armies to immediately slow down the pace of attack and consolidate the results of the battle."

This means that the Longxiang Legion and the Tiance Legion are not there.

otherwise.

Facing the 50 coalition forces, why is Chang'an so restrained and timid.

"understand!"

Qin Shuang was instructed, so she went down and arranged for Fei Lian to deliver orders to Lian Po, Chang Yuchun and Xue Rengui.

.........

Palm County.

"General, the Flying Bear Legion did not catch up." The spies reported.

"pity."

Douglas shook his head regretfully.

After deciding to withdraw from the River Valley Province, Douglas led the [-] troops in the base camp, brazenly left the Stone County, passed through a nearby territory, and teleported to the northern border of Kana County.

Ready to withdraw to the province of Ica at any time.

Bron turned against the coalition forces, and some lords were willing to cooperate with the coalition forces.

Not to mention that the valley city-state planned by Bron is stillborn. Even if the city-state is really established, it is unlikely to be monolithic.

So facing Bron's threat, Douglas just smiled contemptuously.

Right now the Stone County.

I am afraid that they have been surrounded by the second cavalry division of the enemy's guards.

Bron's fate can be imagined.

On the other hand, although he decided to withdraw from the River Valley Province, Douglas was still not reconciled. He originally thought about taking advantage of the opportunity of retreating to ambush the enemy Flying Bear Army on the way.

If the Flying Bear Legion didn't wait to join the reinforcements, they couldn't wait to catch up.

It's going to be tricked again.

Maybe, the coalition forces can use this to make a comeback without having to evacuate the River Valley Province.

But it backfired.

Xue Rengui is also a famous general of a generation, how can he be so impatient?

"General, what should we do now? Is it a direct retreat?"

Mike asks for instructions.

"do not!"

Before Douglas could speak, veteran Rutgers became impatient, "The intelligence doesn't show that the enemy city guards and Fengxiang regiments are attacking aggressively? Why don't you shoot back?"

He hasn't had enough of the small fights yet.

"No chance."

Mike shook his head, "Information just came that the enemy city guards and Fengxiang regiments slowed down their offensive rhythm after learning that our army had withdrawn, and continued to implement horizontal push tactics."

"..."

Rogers was speechless for a moment.

"Chang'an, you are really a difficult opponent."

Chester couldn't help expressing emotion, "We almost never give us a chance."

"There are still opportunities."

Douglas remained calm, "Slowing down the offensive rhythm in Chang'an means that everything has returned to the original point. Our army can still implement guerrilla tactics and delay the enemy's attack."

"As for today's battle, although we didn't do our best, it was a rare victory after all."

He must make a final conclusion on this battle.

The coalition has won!

This is the most obvious fact.

It was not only the first victory of the coalition forces since Douglas became the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, but even the first victory of the coalition forces since its establishment.

Called a milestone.

This alone is enough for Douglas to secure the position of commander in chief of the coalition forces.

"Wanshi County has been conquered by Chang'an. The coalition forces just integrated the local defense forces of the River Valley Province. With Lorton County and Nash County as the new rear, they will continue to fight with the Chang'an army."

In view of Chang'an's conservatism, Douglas gave up his plan to completely withdraw from Hegu Province.

And take a half-retreat.

Lorton County and Nash County are adjacent to the southern borders of Bute Province and Ica Province, and they can cooperate with the coalition forces of the two provinces to establish new outposts.

in this way.

There is no need to "get it right in one step" and spread the smoke of war to the territory of the two major provinces.

want to come.

The two major provinces will definitely support the decision of the coalition forces.

"we can only do this."

It is a pity that Rutgers was not able to wipe out the enemy Flying Bear Army in one fell swoop.

I always feel uneasy.

"By the way, did Grant agree to cooperate with the alliance?" Rutgers asked with concern.

"No."

Mike shook his head, "Grant has clearly rejected it."

"This guy!"

When he said this, Rogers didn't know whether it was resentment or jealousy.

Maybe both.

Although Grant has done some stupid things, he has finally made a name for himself and became a prince. Even if he does betrayal, the alliance still needs him.

It's magical.

The existence of Grant may also be revealing the basic law of the lord era——

Strength is king!

In contrast, Rogers not only had to be inferior to Douglas and returned to Xihai County, but also had to be driven by the lord Gail, which seemed a bit desolate.

that's it
