Chapter 267: Exploring the bottom (3) [Lifting the ban]
Haotian frowned, looked at the mystery and said, "Can the military advisor explain it more clearly?"
"My lord, the Dongwa Dynasty has a hundred thousand elite naval forces in the lower reaches of the river. The leading general is Kato Taka, one of the three famous generals in the East China Sea, who is as famous as Commander He Huairen. And the troops in the hands of Commander He are only about the same as those of the Dongwa
, but Dongbo was defeated in one battle and gave up control of the river. My lord, the current lower reaches of the river are only four miles wide. Within such a narrow range, there is no way it can accommodate 200,000 naval forces to fight.
If Kato Taka wants to block He Shuai's attack, it will not be difficult. And the price paid will never exceed the 20,000 that was defeated by He Shuai. However, Kato Taka actually gave up the opportunity to have a decisive battle with He Shuai. This is really weird.
."
"Play hard to get?" Haotian was startled and thought carefully about the meaning of the mysterious words. Although He Huairen made a surprise attack and went downstream, it stands to reason that after Kato Ying knew that He Huairen was already above the river, he would never
He would take it so lightly. After all, He Huairen taught him a good lesson in the Jiangnan Water War. However, the result of the war was that the Japanese lost 20,000 soldiers. In order to preserve his strength, Kato Taka had to give up control of the Dahe defense line.
As a result, Cassimbas's Northeastern Allied Forces had no follow-up support. Now that I think about it, there is something strange in this. It's just that Qingfeng was immersed in He Huairen's victory, so they ignored it. Although Kato Taka is insidious and cunning, he is not unreasonable.
A person who knows the basics.
Haotian said in confusion: "Could it be that Kato Taka deliberately gave up control of the river, but why did they do this?"
"Without Cassimbas's order, under such circumstances, Kato Takashi would never retreat easily unless he faced the danger of annihilation of the entire army. And his retreat not only cut off the flow of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to Yangzhou
The possibility of increasing troops along the way also blocked the way for the Northeastern Allied Forces to retreat if the war went unfavorably. Cassimbas was a famous general of his generation, so it was impossible not to take this issue into consideration. After losing control of the river, Kato Takashi and
Instead of rushing to retake it, they moved the naval base to Chongming Island. This can only show one thing, that is, Cassimbas deliberately gave us control of the river, and its purpose is only one, and that is to strengthen our decisive battle with it.
Confidence." Xuanji said in a deep voice.
Luo Xiang continued: "Cassimbas is showing weakness to the enemy, deliberately making us think we have an opportunity to completely destroy our power. Lord, think about it, the defense line of the river has now fallen into our control.
In the middle, Kato Takashi's navy will not be able to regain its dominance in a short time. The Zhu Zhao Legion and the Pinglang Legion of the Bliss Holy Sect and the Minghui Legion of Shouzhou have been temporarily restrained by the Huai River Zhang family. Cassimbas is now
Those that can be mobilized are his 400,000 Northeastern Allied Forces, 150,000 Eastern Japanese soldiers, the Bingheng Legion of the Bliss Holy Sect, and Cheng Xianqing's 100,000 protective soldiers. On our Qingfeng side, the imperial court has already concentrated
It can be said that the current situation is the best situation we have in Qingfeng since the Northeast Allied Forces crossed south. However, even if He Shuai can completely block the Dahe defense line, the armies of the three Northeastern countries stationed in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures can still pass through the East China Sea Road and pass through the East China Sea.
The Japanese navy arrived at Yangzhou Road from the sea, and the strength of the Huai River can only hold back Zhu Zhao's three armies for a month at most. In other words, we must defeat the main force of the Paradise Alliance within a month, so that we can
There is a chance to implement the next strategy. But think about it, my lord, Cassimbas has always made a decision before taking action. Which of his actions was not done after careful consideration and a long time to prepare for the final blow?"
"You mean, Cassimbas thinks that the time is ripe now, but in view of our strong strength, he is now showing weakness to the enemy and asking us to take the initiative so that we can get into the trap he has laid?"
Haotian pinched his chin and said.
Luo Xiang nodded: "My lord, in the three Northeastern countries, whether it is Yelv Canghai from Mandan, Kasimbas from Beijing, or Jinmeiliu from Haixi, they are all heroes of the moment. From their perspective, they naturally understand that this will always be the case.
If this drags on, the battlefield advantage is likely to tilt in our direction. But if they are allowed to take the initiative, if the imperial court really abandons the Yuzhou Road and the Huaihe River Road with great courage and tries its best to hold on to half of the country in the west, then even if Kasimba
Si is really a military god, and it will be difficult for him to capture us in his lifetime. Moreover, the further you go southwest, the more the Northeast Cavalry will be weakened in combat effectiveness, and the stronger our resistance will be. If we continue to fight like this, even if
If the three Northeastern countries can win, I am afraid that most of their elite forces will be consumed by our last-minute counterattack. If this is really the case, then why should they suppress the three northwest tribes in the future? And if the Paradise Holy Sect and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty have
What should we do if we have different intentions? Therefore, their best way is to induce us to take the initiative and then use tricks to completely defeat us."
Haotian was silent. What Luo Xiang said made sense, but he himself also agreed to take the initiative from the bottom of his heart. After all, in such a situation, it is better to just sit back and wait for death than to fight to the death. And Cassimbas can now control the total number of
The military strength is much inferior to that of the Qingfeng Alliance Army. As long as the Qingfeng Alliance Army fights steadily, there is no chance. However, he has an extraordinary trust in Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng. Now he raised his head and looked
Luo Xiang said: "Sir, now we have an advantage in terms of military strength. Although Cassimbas is a famous general, when he faces an opponent whose commanding skills are not much inferior to his own, he still needs to rely on his strength in the end.
And if we make good use of this month, then as long as we are willing to pay the price, it is not impossible to completely annihilate Cassimbas' 400,000 Northeastern army. And if the Northeastern coalition army is annihilated, it will be regarded as breaking the alliance of Paradise.
Frankly speaking, even I can't stand such a big temptation now. Besides, I really can't think of how Cassimbas can make a comeback in this situation."
Luo Xiang listened carefully to the surrounding atmosphere. Within fifty meters of Haotian's courtyard, apart from the three of him, there was only one Xin Jiao standing guard at the door. He hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "My Lord
, this is what the three of us suspected. The reason why Cassimbas stood still before was that he remained unmoved even in the face of the temptation that severely damaged our Qingfeng elite. But now that His Majesty is on the expedition in person, although Cassimbas is not
There were no drastic movements, but the activities of his scouts were much more frequent. Thousands of scouts died in battle every day. This can only mean one thing, that is, Cassimbas believed that the time was ripe, and
Your Majesty's personal conquest is the big fish that Cassimbas has been waiting for."
"Sir, what you mean is that he wants to directly take away our supreme commander Qingfeng, and then completely defeat us? But His Majesty will never have less than two legions of troops at his side at any time, and there are countless masters in the palace. Cassimbas
Why are you so sure?" Haotian said in disbelief.
Xuanji smiled slightly: "My lord has forgotten that we, Qingfeng, still have a traitor. Relying on accurate intelligence and the traitor's internal and external cooperation, they used the Holy Sect of Paradise or the Northeast Army headquarters to attract our attention, and suddenly broke into us with the most elite force.
The core of Qingfeng is not impossible to succeed. If they really succeed, then we will definitely be in chaos. If the Paradise Alliance is taking advantage of the opportunity to cover up, then it is very likely that we will be completely defeated."
Haotian glanced at Xuanji. His psychological quality must be too good. If he really guessed it, it would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for Qingfeng and Shenzhou. But, in this case, why did the two
I didn't say it out loud before this, so that I could at least have a certain understanding in my heart, and I wouldn't have agreed to it when Emperor Yinglie proposed to conquer personally.
Luo Xiang obviously saw Haotian's thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "Master, if we tell it before this, will anyone believe it? After all, we don't have any evidence at all, we just rely on our own guesses to make the conclusion
Cassimbas's conspiracy is like this. I'm afraid even you, the lord, will be particularly suspicious. Besides, there is a traitor in the court. We don't know who this spy is. If the other party tries to kill him, how should we respond? Besides, now
The situation is indeed favorable to me, Qingfeng. If we raise objections at this time, what will the court think? My lord, please don’t forget that the court cares about us very much. Maybe they will think that we are like this.
We have already reached a tacit understanding with the Bliss Alliance, so we want to delay it for a little longer to give us enough time to expand our strength. After all, we in Hetao now have 600,000 troops, plus the allies from the Bloody Plateau, even the royal family can only
That’s it.”
Haotian touched his chin and said with a wry smile: "Then we can only watch the disaster happen?"
"Not necessarily." Xuanji shook his head: "Lord, all of this is based on our inference and has no basis at all. Maybe Cassimbas is not thinking like this in his heart. Moreover, even if there is a traitor who cooperates inside and outside,
, it is not an easy task for Cassimbas to break into the core of the coalition. After all, a traitor is a traitor after all. He can work as an undercover agent for the surrounding alien races. He can use his influence to influence the current His Majesty and the current political decisions.
But there are not many people who are determined to betray their country and nation by following the surrounding alien races. Even in the now rebellious Paradise Holy Cult, there are many hot-blooded men. So what this traitor can use is his own
A few buddies. If Cassimbas wants to cooperate inside and outside, then he must have the cooperation of the military. But although our Chinese army has uneven combat capabilities and is now corrupted, we must let them follow the aliens and destroy themselves.
The country, I believe, must have very few people following it. Therefore, I am particularly confused now, not knowing what methods Cassimbas is planning to take."
