Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 186 Bai Qi makes a strange move, and the alliance is in disarray!

next week.

The River Valley Province seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is surging.

Under Bai Qi's unified command and dispatch, the Chang'an army was redeployed and adjusted.The Longxiang Army and Tiance Army, which had initially completed their rest, entered Aode County and formed the West Route Army with the City Guard Army.

Mainly responsible for attacking Okuyama Fortress and Lorton County.

The Guards Corps was stationed in Palm County, and together with the Fengxiang Corps stationed in Stone County and the Flying Bear Corps stationed in Kana County, they formed the Eastern Route Army.

Mainly responsible for attacking Moriyama Fortress and Nash County.

As for the Luoshan Fortress, because it is located at the junction of Lorton County and Nash County, it cannot be conquered for the time being.

The newly formed Praetorian Guard Corps.

As a mobile force, it is flexibly deployed on the border between Lorton County and Nash County.

Ready to enter the land of the two counties at any time.

All counties and counties, especially the local garrison forces in Ord County, Hard Rock County, Palm County, and Kana County, which are on the front line of the war, have also entered a state of first-level combat readiness.

Strict checks are made when entering and leaving the city during the day, and a curfew is simply imposed at night.

The newly formed 4th Division of the Tiance Corps deliberately avoided these four counties when deploying troops, because they did not want to weaken the defensive strength of the four counties.

It is also to prevent the coalition forces from jumping over the wall in a hurry and sending surprise soldiers to carry out reverse sneak attacks.

For this Thunder Action.

Chang'an can be said to be the main force, that is, to win in one battle.

The only ones that have not been mobilized are the Jinwu Guards and Chang'an garrison in charge of Chang'an city defense, and even the Chang'an navy under Shi Lang's command are on combat readiness.

.........

Dark City.

On this day, Grant, who was firmly seated as the champion of the Aztec League, took the initiative to find Black Snake, and asked with concern: "Chang'an, are you planning to attack Lorton County and Nash County?"

"Yes."

Black Snake didn't shy away from it either.

The demon tide in the Beiluo Mountains receded, and Chang'an's army was mobilized frequently. A blind person could guess this.

I can't hide it even if I want to.

"Then, do you need Dak to do something?"

With the good foundation of cooperation last time, Grant's attitude towards Chang'an also changed again and again.

Now they are rushing to help.

"Chang'an is sure to win this attack. As for Dak, if your lord has any aggressive plans, you can use them with confidence during this period." Black Snake replied with a smile.

In other words.

Chang'an doesn't need Dake's assistance, on the contrary, Dake can take advantage of the opportunity to attack and profit from it.

"Understood!"

Why didn't Grant think so?
He came here this time just to get a feel for Black Snake's tone in order to confirm some things.

In the front, there was the city-state of Tara pressing every step of the way, and in the back there was Chang'an, the couch-like tiger. After reaching the top, Grant seemed to be in a good mood, but in fact he was trembling and full of a sense of crisis.

All the time, I don't want to continue to expand the territory.

And if the entire Tara province can be occupied, it is estimated that there will be a little sense of security.

Naturally, no opportunity will be missed.

Compared with Tara City-State, Dak's biggest advantage is that he doesn't have to worry about Chang'an attacking Gushan Fortress, while Tara City-State has to deploy heavy troops in Oshan Fortress.

One increase and one decrease, wouldn't the gap come out?
Of course, it's not that he doesn't really worry about Chang'an's capture of the Gushan Fortress, but that it's useless to worry about it.

It's simply "bad".

Grant can only bet now, betting that he is of value to Chang'an.

It is not enough to kill the donkey now.

If this "value" is to continue, it is definitely not enough to maintain a balance of power with the Tara city-state. It is necessary to eliminate the Tara city-state before the Chang'an army enters the Tara province.

otherwise.

Dake will have a fundamental conflict of interest with Chang'an again.

have to say.

Although Grant's character is not very good, he still has a clear calculation.

.........

May 5st, morning.

According to the predetermined plan, the east and west armies launched attacks on Nash County and Lorton County respectively.

first mover.

It was the Imperial Guard Corps commanded by Huo Qubing.

The First Division of the Imperial Guards, together with the Second and Fourth Cavalry Divisions of the Imperial Guards, under the command of Bai Chuan, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, crossed the border of Nash County, bypassed all the counties, and went straight to Nash County, the headquarters of the coalition forces.

purpose.

It is to activate the state of war in Nash County, so that the more than [-] coalition troops stationed in Nash County can neither support the front line nor withdraw from the River Valley Province.

In a sense, these more than [-] troops have become the turtle in the urn.

At the same time, Huo Qubing personally led the second and third divisions of the Imperial Guard Corps to surprise Lorton County, Lorton County, and "surrounded" nearly 20 troops in the city.

Chang'an's move really created a big problem for the coalition forces.

If the cavalry outside the city were left alone, then Nash County and Lorton County would always be in a state of war, not to mention reinforcements, and even cut off external communication.

As a result, the defenders in the counties lost contact with the coalition headquarters.

Even if they want to send cavalry, scouts, and communications troops, there is a high probability that they will be intercepted by the Chang'an cavalry.

Immediately, his eyes darkened.

But it seems that the defenders of the two cities have no courage to go out of the city and drive away the Chang'an cavalry outside the city.

After all, they were [-] to [-] heavy cavalry.

Let alone defeat, even if it is to drive them away, at least 15 troops must be dispatched.

even more.

This already accounted for more than half of the defenders in the city.

In case something goes wrong and the Chang'an cavalry seizes the opportunity, the consequences will be disastrous.

The safest way is to simply abandon the two counties.

But he raised his hands and surrendered just after the start of the war. Not to mention that the coalition commander Douglas disagreed, even the Alliance Council would not agree to fight such a useless battle.

What has it become?

Therefore, in the face of Chang'an's strange move, what the coalition forces can do is to stay in the city honestly.

Don't go anywhere.

For such a mistake, Douglas, the commander of the coalition forces, cannot be completely blamed.

After all, according to the intelligence of the coalition forces, there are only two heavy cavalry divisions in Chang'an.Why did five heavy cavalry divisions appear all at once?
Was caught off guard.

If there are only two heavy cavalry divisions, then only one of Lorton County and Nash County can be surrounded, and the other can send troops for reinforcements.

It is impossible to appear in the embarrassing situation of being surrounded at the same time.

In order to get rid of the siege, Douglas had no choice but to use the method of making Nash County players commit suicide and return to Folding City, and conveyed a new request to the Alliance Council——

Ask the alliance to arrange new reinforcements to enter the two counties and attack the incoming Chang'an army.

a few days ago.

Across the league, mergers and integrations at the county level have been completed.

Follow up.

The counties will form their own armies, which will be gathered together to form the coalition forces of the major provinces.

Before the alliance wanted to crowdfund a coalition army, it started to crowdfund slowly from the village and town level.

Now the counties send troops directly.

The coalition forces that were crowdfunded before still needed a process of reorganization and running-in. Now the county level has completed the reorganization and running-in at the division and brigade levels, and it can be used when transferred to the front line.

There is no need to recruit additional player generals.

It can be said that after this round of territorial annexation, the war mobilization capabilities of the entire Aztec Alliance have at least doubled, and the efficiency is even higher.

Because of this.

It was Douglas who proposed the alliance, continue to increase troops to the battlefield of the River Valley Province, and never surrender to Chang'an.

Alliance for this.

Specially hold emergency online board meetings.

"I don't think it is necessary to increase troops to the River Valley Province."

Unexpectedly, Eric, the representative of the city-state of Tara, was the first to stand up against it.

It stands to reason that if the alliance continues to increase troops to the battlefield in the valley province, it will be beneficial to the three provinces of Ica, Bit and Tara, and can further isolate the risk of war from the mainland.

Eric had no reason to object.

Even if there is objection, it should be objected by representatives other than the three major provinces.

after all.

If the alliance really wanted to increase its troops, the ones who would suffer the most damage would be the lords outside the province of the idiot.

He will be cut again for nothing.

"What's the reason?"

John, the representative of the province of Ica, asked angrily.

Among the three major provinces, Tara Province is certainly on the front line of the conflict, and Ika Province is already on the brink of war because of the proximity of Morishan Fortress to Kana County.

On the contrary, Bit Province can sit back and relax for the time being.

therefore.

John very much hopes that the alliance will continue to increase its troops to the front line, so as to relieve the war pressure in the province of Ica.

"I thought so."

Of course Eric was not a fool, he explained: "Taking advantage of the fact that the Chang'an army was being held back, the Alliance just dispatched troops to the Tara Province to get rid of Grant, a confidant in one fell swoop."

"If Grant is not eliminated, Lonely Mountain Fortress will always be a defensive loophole for the coalition forces."

Good guy!
So it was Eric's idea.

This is to borrow a knife to kill people, and the appearance of eating is a bit ugly.

How could Eric not know?

But he was also forced to do nothing, because Grant was already sharpening his knife.

The latest information shows.

Dak has already assembled troops on the border of Mentor County. The purpose is self-evident, that is, to fish in troubled waters, and take advantage of the fact that the coalition forces have no time to look after him, and capture Mentor County in one fell swoop.

Before, with the fall of Baru County, the city-state of Tara was already weaker than Dak.

I don't have the confidence to deal with this crisis alone.

No matter what, Eric seized the opportunity of the alliance meeting and proposed to solve Grant first.

It was also driven to a dead end.

"absurd!"

After listening to Eric's suggestion, John almost scolded his mother.

This is so selfish!

"I think Eric's proposal makes sense."

Unexpectedly, Eric actually had a supporter in the alliance, and it was Gail, the representative of Xihai Province.

Also a former Alliance Champion Lord.

But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't see Gail's careful thinking. It was nothing more than worrying that if the city-state of Tara couldn't bear it, Grant's risk would spill over to the West Sea Province.

Only then did they want to use the power of the alliance to eliminate Grant's hidden danger.

It is also a good calculation.

It can be seen that within the alliance council, all the directors also have their own ghosts.

Where is there any big picture?
Even Gail, who had been playing the role of "coalition leader" and "coalition mediator" before, lost his impartiality once he got involved.

Show your true colors.

Ok.

It's very Aztec!

"Look, look, they all think of us as free cash machines."

The chokehold between Eric, John, and Gail aroused the great dissatisfaction of Simmons, the representative of the North Plains Province, "We, the lords who are far away from the River Valley Province, have sent soldiers and supplies to the Alliance for free time and time again."

"In exchange, is it your own little schemes?"

Beiyuan Province is located in the northernmost part of the Aztec Alliance. In theory, it is the least threatened existence by Chang'an. In the past, it has never shirked the responsibility of being a member of the alliance.

Donate soldiers when you want to donate soldiers, and donate money when you want to donate money.

But now.

Obviously, he was also annoyed by the small calculations of Eric and others.

"Let me first declare that no matter whether the final result of this meeting is to increase troops or not, Beiyuan Province will not send a single soldier to the coalition forces."

Simmons doesn't want to continue to be taken advantage of.

As for worrying that Chang'an's future will be uncontrollable, in Simmons' view, it is completely unfounded.If Chang'an really wants to leave the River Valley Province, the most worried thing should be the lords of the surrounding provinces such as the Ika Province.

In order to contain Chang'an, these lords will definitely risk their lives at all costs.

How can you still think about this and that?
prior to.

It is these "people with irrelevant interests" who have given too much free of charge.

It gave these people an illusion.

"The Fallen Leaf Province will not send any more troops to the coalition."

Also in the north, seeing Simmons jumping out on his own initiative, Dave, the representative of Fallen Leaf Province, followed closely behind, unwilling to continue to be taken advantage of.

With the merger and integration of the alliance at the county level, the next stage should be the integration at the provincial level.

Looks like a good thing.

But in fact, it also caused another deep-seated problem, that is——

The major provinces that are united will have more motivation, or motivation, to participate in the decision-making at the alliance level based on the fundamental interests of their respective provinces.

Between the provinces and the provinces, it has essentially become a competitive relationship.

natural.

This also makes cooperation at the alliance level more difficult.

When there was no annexation before, there may have been many lords in Beiyuan Province who had the same idea as Simmons, but because of the difficulty in speaking, "the arms can't twist the thighs."

In the end, I chose to compromise.

But with the great merger, the interests of the lords began to converge and concentrate. Then, the "will" of Beiyuan Province as a whole inevitably put interests above "feelings".

In this way, Simmons and Dave made statements.

"This…"

With the withdrawal of Northern Plains Province and Fallen Leaf Province, the three major provinces of Ica, Bit, and Tara are powerless. If the alliance really wants to recruit troops, it can only count on Xihai, Katz, Great Lakes, and Gema Provinces.

Gail in Xihai Province is more than happy.

But Kaz Province, Great Lakes Province, and Gema Province are not willing to be taken advantage of.

A meeting ended up being unhappy.

He failed to reinforce the front line, and even failed to make Eric of the Tara City-State fulfill his wish.

It can be described as a failure among failures.

Fortunately, after the meeting, Gail took the initiative to find Eric and said that if the city-state of Tara needed it, Xihai Province was willing to provide some help within its ability.

It is of course unrealistic to help the city-state of Tara to eliminate Dak.

However, it is still possible to stabilize the current situation of Tara city-state and prevent it from being gradually swallowed up by Dak.

It is also in the best interests of Xihai province.

And like this, the one-on-one cooperation between Xihai Province and Tara City-State may become the new mainstream of cooperation within the alliance in the future.

Whoever has a stake in it will go on their own in a hurry!
