The battle report from the front line was quickly passed to Zhang Liao, and the actions in Buli City did not surprise Zhang Liao.
Taking the initiative? Are you kidding me? Just a second army can eat up Willy's troops, not to mention that the subsequent Dragon City troops will definitely be more than one or two divisions, at least that's what Willy thinks. Abandon the city and leave.
That would be tantamount to washing his own neck and sending it to Zhang Liao, clearly seeking death.
However, Zhang Liao was very willing that the 30,000 troops in Bili City could hold on and give up the way forward. As for after the Second Army left, people would naturally come to find them, so that they could not harass the Second Army.
Logistics route.
This job was naturally given to Li Lan.
Before setting off, Zhang Liao did not tell Li Lan what he should do after the Second Army left. He believed that Li Lan would never let go of the key city of Brie. Although the first candidate for the deputy commander of this battle was far away in Noer.
The empire's Li Feng, not Li Lan. But compared to Li Feng's crazy radicalism, Li Lan's conservatism will be the biggest difficulty in this operation from another aspect.
What would Li Lan choose?
Looking at the map, Major General Li Lan, who was in the simple camp at the rear, was frowning as he seemed to be making a choice in his mind.
Li Lan had been thinking about this since he led his troops across the Hengduan River two days ago and stationed himself at this simple base. Zhang Liao's ambiguous words before leaving made Li Lan hesitate. As a diversionary force, what he feared most was that the opponent would not be able to do anything.
You. The enemy army in the city of Buri is like this at the moment. The 30,000 troops are just standing there waiting for reinforcements, with no interest in attacking at all. This makes Li Lan a bit confused and can't find a place to attack.
But it's not a problem to just leave Brie City alone. Even if they don't come out, they will always be a threat to the Second Army's logistics line.
What should I do? Should I unplug it directly?
Li Lan's eyes flashed with an extremely rare cruelty, but in a blink of an eye he returned to his usual expression, and his brows wrinkled again. Perhaps as Zhang Liao thought, if he were Li Lan's friend at this moment,
If Li Feng were in this position, he would copy the guy without saying a word. But Li Lan was different. He didn't know it himself, but Zhang Liao understood the difference between the two. As two of the best young officers in the same period, their personalities were very different.
The differences have led to the very different experiences of the two people now.
Although Li Lan is now the commander of the newly formed Third Army of the Army, and has been appointed as the temporary commander-in-chief of the war zone. However, this is inferior to Li Feng. Li Feng now has the dignified rank of lieutenant general and is fully responsible for command.
Yanran has become a rising star representative after Zhou Yunfei's top ten generals in the affairs of the Nuoer region.
As the commander of the two, Zhang Liao naturally saw clearly that in terms of talent, the two were equally matched, but Li Feng had a strong personality. In addition, he had experienced ups and downs, and he had truly grown into a talent who could take on big responsibilities. Li Lan, on the other hand, had a strong personality.
To a lesser extent, maybe it's because he wants to be perfect in everything and is used to calculating everything, which leads him to lack the all-or-nothing decisiveness at critical moments, so he hesitates at this time.
Zhang Liao naturally understood that Li Lan had to go through this hurdle by himself. If he crossed it, another shining young star would be born in Dragon City. But if Li Lan couldn't cross it, then his life might be the last one.
The result is to join the staff department and become a strategic staff officer.
Could it be that Zhang Liao was so relieved to leave all the matters behind him to Li Lan? In fact, this was not the case. Although Li Lan served as the temporary commander-in-chief, the specific decisions and affairs were actually completed jointly by the theater staff. Li Lan was only responsible for the formulation.
It's just a general strategy.
At this moment, an officer came to the temporary staff of the war zone. He was wearing a blue military uniform, which was different from the white of the navy and the green of the army. This was the uniform of the Royal Marines in Longcheng.
It should now be called the Marine Corps Brigade. After several expansions, the Marine Corps has gone from a few hundred people when the army was founded to three full brigades now, with a total number of 30,000 people.
This person is none other than Colonel Feng Kun, commander of the 3rd Marine Corps Brigade.
The 3rd Marine Brigade is a powerful force that has just returned to Dragon City from the distant Nohr Empire. In the previous Battle of Bits, the Marine Corps performed well and gradually became a force that cannot be ignored in the main force of Dragon City.
Now that they had just withdrawn, they embarked on the journey again. Taking the navy ships responsible for logistics transportation, they arrived at the front line of the northern theater in three batches.
Seeing Feng Kun's arrival, many people in the staff breathed a sigh of relief. The arrival of 10,000 elite veterans alleviated the dilemma of insufficient troops in the northern theater. The next step is to wait for Li Lan's choice to continue this confrontation.
If the delay continues, it is better to solve the hidden danger of Brie City in one go. This decision will directly determine the direction of the rear war in the northern theater, and for Li Lan, it is also an important choice for his personal future.
When Li Lan was at a crossroads in life, the real battle on the front line also began.
The 21st Division arrived at the second important town, Ulensburg, on the evening of the fifth day of departure!
This fortress-like town is a nail that must be pulled out quickly. Not only is it located on the key official road to and from the imperial capital, but due to its geographical advantages, this fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Since this fortress is a paramilitary town, the people in it are basically the military dependents of the garrison. This also makes the progress of Longcheng's intelligence department in this fortress very limited. In addition to roughly grasping the number of garrison troops,
, a lot of data is very unclear.
However, for Wang Meng, or for his second division, this is not a big difficulty.
We don’t ask how many enemies there are, only where they are!
This sentence comes from the leader of Dragon City, Zhou Yunfei. This sentence has also become a saying that many people in the Dragon City army often say. It sounds so touching. It is this kind of confidence that makes them face the enemy.
, abandon fear and become a veritable iron-blooded army.
"Hmph! What about a fortress? I want to see what wall under the sky can stop us!" Looking at Ulensburg under the setting sun in front of them, the soldiers of the 2nd Division said silently in their hearts.
The faint arc on the sides shows their confidence.
Facing the menacing Dragon City army, the atmosphere in Ulensburg was very solemn at the moment. They did not expect that the other party would come here so quickly. Did the city of Brie fall? So quickly? The one stationed in Ulensburg is Baiwo.
The Fourteenth Central Army of Sturt, this army also has some background. Since Bywister implements a system of central power decentralization, most of the feudal nobles in each region have their own private armies, but these private armies are nominally
Directly under the royal family.
For example, the Canterlot family, which was destroyed by Dragon City, had an army of hundreds of thousands. These armies could never be supported by the finances of the central royal family alone, so a large part of them were the expenses of the big family.
Do you still remember the mobilization order issued by the eldest prince during the fierce battle in the Far North Fortress three years ago? In fact, this mobilization order was to mobilize the private soldiers of the major feudal families in the empire. Although it sounds nice in name, it is the army of the imperial royal family.
But everyone knows exactly what is going on.
It was this kind of system that caused Byvost to fall into the whirlpool of civil war after the death of the old emperor. There were powerful forces behind each prince, and the military power possessed by these powerful forces also forced the princes to leave.
on the road to struggle for power.
Zhou Yunfei once commented on the political situation in Byvost, "For the sake of profit, the big nobles raised more soldiers, but the burden brought by raising soldiers prompted them to continue to strive for greater benefits to maintain a huge private army. And they gained more.
After gaining huge interests, in order to safeguard these vested interests, they must continue to expand their military to protect them. Like a snowball, it gets bigger and bigger and they can no longer tolerate it."
This is actually true. In a sense, Zhou Yunfei and his Dragon City are taking the same path. The slight difference is that Dragon City is more targeted, that's all.
The garrison in Ulensburg is one of the few troops directly under the Byvost royal family. Except for the garrison that disappeared in the far north fortress, this is the only royal mobile force close to the imperial capital.
It became a garrison that never moved for thousands of years.
Generation after generation, the Fourteenth Army of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has been stationed here. Although they are not as prominent as the guards in the imperial capital, their combat effectiveness cannot be ignored. However, due to their unique and important geographical location, they have always been unable to participate in battles.
Didn't you see that when the orcs invaded three years ago, Byvost mobilized the entire country to mobilize elite troops to form reinforcements, but the 20,000 troops in Ulensburg here were not used at all.
Now, what will happen to this gate to the north of the imperial capital under the attack of Dragon City? Many people don't know, and even Zhou Yunfei, who is far away in Dragon City, is worried.
After all, the reason why the general staff agreed to Zhang Liao's bold plan was because of Zhou Yunfei's approval. If not, even someone as bold as Pang Tong would never agree to such a risky plan under such circumstances.
"Master, Mr. Wen He is here." Diao Chan's words interrupted Zhou Yunfei's thoughts. From the day the Second Army started taking action, Zhou Yunfei had hardly had a good rest. He was constantly reviewing the overall situation in his mind. Dragon City
Having reached this point, every step forward made Zhou Yunfei feel like walking on thin ice, fearing that he would fall into the abyss accidentally. But as long as he crossed this point, no one in Byvost could stop Longcheng's progress.
.
"Lord, report from the front, Major General Li Lan has taken action." Jia Xu stated the purpose of the trip directly as soon as he came in.
After hearing what Jia Xu said, Zhou Yunfei stood up and walked in front of Jia Xu in two steps, "You said, Li Lan took action? Where? Bric City?"
"Yes, my lord, it's Bricheng!" Jia Xu had a smile on her lips. After seeing Zhou Yunfei let out a long sigh of relief, he handed the intelligence he had just received to Zhou Yunfei.
"He finally crossed over. Come, Mr. Shiyuan and Mr. Fengxiao, please come quickly." Zhou Yunfei smiled unconsciously. The real battle in the north has now begun!
