"Well, digging trenches is not negotiable."

"Yes, yes, it's an emergency. Afterwards, we can just restore the ecology."

"We obey the overall situation!"

As soon as Yue Fei and Guo Ziyi became tough, the elves immediately became intimidated.

If the Chang'an army really wants to build fortifications on the hills outside the Elf tribe, it will certainly be able to withstand the demonic tide, but it will expose the gathering place of the Elfs to the demonic tide.

By then, it won’t be all over the place?

When it comes to a real life-and-death moment, he is as proud as an elf, and his figure can be said to be soft.

Who is really desperate?

Healing the "little stubbornness" of the elves is just a small episode between the two generals Yue Fei and Guo Ziyi. The two of them went into the mountains. The real busy thing was to survey the mountains and rivers geography under the guidance of the elves and dwarves.

Where is suitable for establishing commanding heights, where is suitable for ambushes, and where is suitable for large penetrations.

It will not work without on-the-spot investigation.

During this period, Yue Fei, who was responsible for guarding the western section, also received instructions from the Military Affairs Administration——

"Send a heavy armored brigade into the province of Tara."

Yue Fei received the order and went through the deployment of the divisions and brigades of the Longxiang Army in his mind. He quickly locked the target and ordered the trapping brigade under the 7th Division to carry out this mopping up mission.

With the talent of Gao Shun, the commander of the army in the battle, there should be nothing wrong with it.

After all, the essence of this raid on Tara Province is to create a big disturbance in the southeastern corner of Tara Province and attract the provincial coalition forces from Gushan Fortress to come for reinforcements.

He also wanted to ensure that his troops could finally escape unharmed and not let the troops fall into the quagmire of war in Tara Province, so he made Grant's wedding dress for free.

It still tests the commander's ability to adapt to the situation.

As one of the first veterans to join the territory, Gao Shun has been in charge of the trapping brigade very early. With more experience in the war against the demonic tide, he will almost be promoted to division commander.

the other side.

The three legions of City Guards, Fengxiang, and Feixiong were already in position, but they were not in a hurry to attack.

In addition to waiting for changes in the Tara Province so that Plan B can be implemented, the three legions themselves also need to rest and recuperate after arriving at the scheduled assembly point.

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

It is impossible for all the mighty 150,000 troops to be stationed in the pre-set Sola County of Choctaw County.

Sola County only serves as the base camp of Fengxiang Corps. Except for the 16th/17th Division stationed here, the remaining 18th/19th/20th Divisions are deployed on the wings and rear of Sola County.

Form a complete attack formation.

After each division sets up camp, it must arrange for scouts to investigate the basic situation of the target area while waiting for the arrival of subsequent grain and grass supplies.

The base camp needs to understand 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 darkened, and they immediately crossed the border and started fighting.

That's so brave.

………

Chang'an City.

"Sir, after summarizing the reports from the Fengxiang Corps and the Flying Bear Corps, as well as the investigation by the Military Intelligence Department, it is true that there is no sign of a large-scale gathering of enemy troops in Choctaw County, Palm County, and Kana County."

Qin Shuang came again to report.

There was a war on the front line, and Tang Jing was at the base camp of Chang'an City, so of course he couldn't give up completely.

At the very least——

The five major armies on this expedition are not affiliated with each other, so they need unified coordination and dispatch by the Military Affairs Administration.

And there is no big boss in the Military Affairs Administration.

That can only be because Lord Tang Jing has to work harder, always paying attention to frontline developments and coordinating various ministries.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu was there to give guidance.

"There was no large-scale gathering. Was it an active retreat, or what?" Tang Jing asked.

"It's not like retreating."

Qin Shuang shook his head, "From the investigation of the special forces and Fei Lian, the coalition forces have appeared in every village and town in the three counties. They should have been broken into pieces."

"Ahem, aren't the coalition forces going to fight guerrilla warfare with us?" Tang Jing was also shocked.

I always feel like there's 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 city to be built."

"It's a beautiful thought."

Tang Jing shook his head in amusement, "The enemy wants to engage in delaying tactics, so let's fight with speed and slow down. We will notify Bai Chuan and let her lead the 2nd Cavalry Division of the Guards Corps to participate in the attack on Choctaw County."

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

If Choctaw County is captured again, the defense chain established by the Union will be wiped out.

No longer exists.

"yes!"

Qin Shuang turned and left.

………

Hard Rock County, Hard Rock County.

After learning about the guerrilla tactics formulated by the Allied Commander Douglas, the three county lords who were most unhappy were of course treated as a chessboard. They sent representatives to Stubborn County to seek an explanation from Bronn.

"Bron!"

"We followed your advice and formed an alliance, donated troops and materials, and raised 100,000 local coalition troops for the alliance. We did not want to be treated as an outcast as soon as the war started."

Why again?

The first two commanders-in-chief of the Union Army, Rogers and Grant, both did similar things.

It was always the lords of the Vale province who were hurt.

"Well, this is the decision of the coalition forces, and I have nothing to do about it. You have all heard that Douglas's attitude is very tough, and we can only choose to accept it or not." Bronn was also helpless.

As a chessboard, the River Valley Province has very little say in the alliance.

What else do you want?

"Then we can't just let the coalition forces manipulate us, right? If that's the case, then we would rather transfer the population and materials than be taken advantage of."

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

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

"What proposal?"

"Based on the River Valley Provincial Council, the River Valley City-State is formed to legally bring all the territories within the province together. In this way, everyone can truly advance and retreat together."

"After forming a city-state, the territory will no longer be divided between you and me, and the losses will naturally not be divided between us."

"No matter which territory is destroyed by Chang'an, the losses will be shared by the city-state. The lords of the destroyed territory can be properly resettled in the city-state to ensure that their interests are not damaged."

Bron seemed to have planned it in advance and revealed his plan completely.

As the representative of the lords of the River Valley Province and a member of the Alliance Council, Bronn indeed has enough motivation to further unite the local lords of the River Valley Province.

Twist the lords of the Vale Province into a tightrope.

otherwise.

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

If this continues, without the need for Chang'an to attack, the foundation of the River Valley Province itself will be hollowed out through the process of "abandonment" again and again, resulting in a massive exodus of local lords.

Once the power of the River Valley Province is weakened to a certain extent, it will completely lose its voice 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 its strength is really reduced, it can only serve as a "silent chessboard".

Nothing can be done.

"Then give it a try?"

The Lords of the Three Counties didn't have any better solution, so they decided to give it a try.
