Chapter 79 Chang'an Strategic Planning
All the generals present looked at Yue Fei in unison.

"It will take time for the second coalition to be assembled and trained."

Yue Fei remained unhurried, "During this period, I will command the army, look for opportunities, take the initiative to cross the Huishui River, and defeat the coalition forces on the other side of the river. First break all the way, and then it will be difficult to form a corner."

The City Guard Legion plus the Guards Brigade has a total of 3 horses, and they are all elite.

Thirty thousand against one hundred thousand.

It's really not an exaggeration for Yue Fei to say that he wants to defeat the coalition forces in the wild.

"Then I can only lead the remnant troops to retreat to Monroe County and wait for an opportunity to fight again." Chang Yuchun still plotted, "Station two coalition forces in Monroe County and Denton County respectively, and re-form the situation of fighting corners."

With the strength of the alliance.

Even if he is defeated once, he can still replenish his troops in a short period of time.

"But if this is the case, wouldn't the Aztec Alliance's hope of attacking Chang'an in a short period of time be shattered? Will they really choose to confront each other obediently instead of putting all their eggs in one basket?" Tang Jing interjected.

"Long-term confrontation is indeed the worst strategy of the Aztecs."

Chang Yuchun also had to admit this, "But in the face of Chang'an's strength, we can only choose to confront."

This is the result of war games.

The Aztecs might be reluctant to accept it at first, but it is the reality.

"Is there a possibility that after the discovery of the Great City of Chang'an, the coalition forces would not choose to besiege and not attack from the very beginning, but immediately recruited new reinforcements to continue attacking Chang'an with an absolute superiority in strength?"

Lin Shu also joined the discussion and proposed new ideas.

"During the call for reinforcements, the first coalition army had enough time to cut down timber and build siege equipment to create conditions for the subsequent general attack."

"That is to say..."

Yue Fei glanced at Lin Shu approvingly, "It is the best policy for the city guards to take the initiative to attack by the Huishui River."

Once the coalition forces are allowed to cross the Huishui River, it will not only mean that the surrounding villages and towns will suffer, but also that Chang'an City will suffer continuous attacks.

If Chang'an is not destroyed, the coalition forces will certainly not let it go.

"Chang'an still has the potential to continue to expand the army. Even if the coalition forces attack in two directions, the city guards are sure to form formations at the Huishui River and Meluo River to meet the enemy at the same time." Yue Fei added.

"There is another situation."

Bai Chuan has a different opinion: "Information shows that the orc army will attack Chang'an before the coalition forces. It is impossible for the coalition forces to not notice such a big movement, and they should not miss the opportunity."

"It is very possible that when the orcs attacked the city, the coalition forces took the opportunity to cross the Graywater River."

mean.

Yue Fei's plan of attacking the coalition forces by the Huishui River did not meet the conditions for implementation.

"If this is the case, then the City Guard Corps can still choose to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and continue to implement the tactics of breaking the road, without giving the enemy a chance to wait for reinforcements."

The battlefield is always changing rapidly.

The reason why Yue Fei is a famous general is that he can adjust tactics in real time according to changes in the battlefield.

At this point in the war game deduction, one thing that is basically certain is——

"As far as Chang'an is concerned, the best policy is to take the initiative to attack, and the worst policy is to gather in the city and defend. As for whether to snipe on the riverside, go out of the city to meet the enemy, or even cross the river to attack, it depends on the enemy's choice."

"I have another question."

So far, Tang Jing is basically satisfied with the results of the war game.

So I decided to increase the difficulty.

"How to deal with the attack of the [-] coalition forces, in the final analysis, is just a discussion at the tactical level."

"Can you raise it a little higher?"

"Elevate the scope of the discussion to a strategic level, which is—"

"In the future, what kind of efforts do we need to take the initiative to create a security situation around Chang'an in order to ensure the long-term stability of Chang'an?"

This is what Tang Jing really cares about.

As soon as this question was raised, the military situation room fell silent instantly, and everyone fell into deep thought.

This is obviously not a question that can be easily answered.

Generals who must have a strategic vision must make a strategic thinking from an overall perspective.

Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun became the focus again.

Chang Yuchun is known as "Chang Hundred Thousand", and he can command a division of [-]. Under the guidance of clear combat instructions, it is no problem to charge into the battle and attack the city.

It is a bit difficult to think about this kind of issue that concerns the overall situation.

Yue Fei is stronger.

But it is limited to thinking from a purely military perspective.

"Let's put it that way."

Tang Jing led the topic again, "After defeating the coalition forces, Chang'an must no longer shrink into one city and one county. Otherwise, the coalition forces may make a comeback at any time, and Chang'an may be attacked and looted at any time."

"Without a stable rear area, the future development of Chang'an is impossible to talk about."

Sending people and supplies by mail is always too magical, and sooner or later it will be canceled by the system.If Changan wants to gain a firm foothold in Aztec, it must make early plans to achieve self-sufficiency.

This is why.

The reason why Tang Jing didn't want the towns and villages around Chang'an to be burned down by the coalition forces.

"so--"

"In the upcoming battle, defeating the enemy is only a means. The real purpose is to take the opportunity to expand Chang'an's strategic depth and ensure that the enemy cannot attack the city of Chang'an for the second time."

"Under the watchful eyes of the enemy, the difficult situation facing Chang'an has determined that we can only adopt radical expansion, rather than the moderate ones to grind forward bit by bit."

"What does that mean?"

"Currently, Chang'an's sphere of influence is only limited to the [-] square kilometers of land around Chang'an City, and it only occupies one-third of the land of Huishui County."

"The next phase is not to occupy Graywater County, but to do it in one step and extend its tentacles to the entire Bay County."

"That's expansive expansion."

"Either don't move, if you want to move, you must do thunderous things, one step at a time."

The Aztecs would not allow Chang'an to go step by step, annexing and expanding town by town, county by county, and wished to compress Chang'an's sphere of influence within Chang'an City.

So Tang Jing said at the beginning that Chang'an needs to take the initiative to shape the situation around him.

The enemy won't give it?

Then use an extremely strong front to wipe it out in one step.

There is no way out.

"As for how to achieve this step, we can not only wipe out Haiwan County quickly, but also be able to hold it firmly. I need everyone here to give me an answer." Tang Jing said.

"if it is like this…"

Yue Fei's thoughts gradually became clear, he turned around, and came to the map of Hegu Province hanging on the wall.

"Then I suggest that the expansion target for the next phase of the territory should not be the entire Bay County, but take the Mee River as the dividing line and occupy Monroe County, Denton County, Joaquin County and Macomb County on the south bank of the Mee River .”

It is equivalent to occupying only half of Bay County.

"Why is it half a county? It is mainly considered from a defensive point of view."

"The border of the new territory is bounded by the wide and turbulent Mihe River in the north, the sea in the east, the Zhaoxia Mountains, the remnants of the Beiluo Mountains in the south, and the Meiling Ridge in the southwest."

"They are all natural barriers, which are beneficial to defense."

"Only the borders of Joaquin County and Macomb County in the northwest and neighboring counties are safe to defend, and will also become the focus of the city guards' follow-up garrison."

"suggestion--"

"The territory gives priority to building county towns in Huajin County and Macomb County, and gathers the cities to guard them. It is not only a satellite city of Chang'an City, but also a fortress for the city guards to go out in the future."

"The defense of Mihe River can be handed over to the Chang'an Navy, while Meiling only needs to build a fortress."

"In this way—"

"Chang'an will be able to hold the largest territory at the lowest cost and gain a solid rear."

The land of half a county is naturally not a big rear area.

But for Changan today, it is the most cost-effective choice.

If they insisted on crossing the Honey River and occupying the entire Gulf County, the defensive pressure would more than double.

Aztec was sparsely populated. Bay County alone covers an area of ​​[-] square kilometers. Even if it is only half a county, it covers an area of ​​[-] square kilometers.

It is equivalent in size to a county in Zunlong Kingdom.

"What's your opinion?"

Tang Jing looked at Chang Yuchun, Lin Shu, Bai Chuan and other generals.

"agree!"

All the generals also think that this is a good choice.

"That's settled then."

Tang Jing is also a follower of good people, and finally has a clear plan for future expansion.
