"How is the troops advancing?" At the busy frontline headquarters, the person who had just opened the curtain asked when he saw Xu Sheng inside. [feii?./First text:
Upon hearing this inquiry, all the mid-level and senior staff officers in the Supreme Headquarters of the Southern Theater Command put down what they were doing and quickly stood up and saluted.
The same goes for Xu Sheng, commander-in-chief of the Southern Theater Command. Who is here?
It turned out that the person who came in was none other than Zhou Yunfei!
Nearly a month has passed since the battle began in the south. The time has come to mid-March of the sixth year of the Divine Calendar. Compared with the extremely fast northern war zone not long ago, the battle in the south is much more complicated.
Just those dozens of important towns are enough to give people a headache. Even though the southern theater has nearly 180,000 troops, it is still a bit difficult to capture all these places.
Fortunately, the Phillips family took over the south not long ago, and the Lancelot family's foundation has not yet been digested, so they did not put much pressure on Xu Sheng.
There was once a staff suggestion to divide the troops and advance in multiple ways, but Xu Sheng did not take the risk, or this may be the characteristic of Xu Sheng. The heavy sword has no edge, and the skill is useless. No matter what the enemy is, they will be defeated when facing an opponent like Xu Sheng.
Quite a headache.
Zhang Liao, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Theater Command, once made such a joke. If he were to lead his army into a fight with Xu Sheng, he would probably lose in the end.
Although it is said as a joke, it can still give a glimpse of something.
Thinking about how many generals Zhou Yunfei had at the beginning, Zhou Yunfei chose the somewhat unknown Xu Sheng when he first founded the army. This result was a decision made by Zhou Yunfei after repeated systematic evaluations.
Even though Xu Sheng is inconspicuous, he best meets Zhou Yunfei's requirements for leading troops.
The First Army, which has been known as the trump card since the founding of the army, has become more stable under Xu Sheng's training. It can be said that among the entire Longcheng army, only the First Army can be called "near".
Guards!
What is the Guards? What is the difference between it and the Praetorian Guards?
In fact, strictly speaking, there is not much difference between the two. They are mainly responsible for guarding the security of the imperial city and the safety of the royal family. However, in terms of the organization of the army, the First Army cannot actually be regarded as a real guard.
Army. The real Guards Army is actually Gao Shun's trapped camp.
However, since the establishment of the trapped camp has not yet reached its quota, Pang Tong and other senior military generals naturally used the most powerful First Army as Zhou Yunfei's Guards.
Of course, the First Army also has many other functions. For example, it is a military pilot object and a test unit for various equipment.
Several military reforms were basically tried within the current First Army, and then extended to the entire army. This approach directly resulted in the current Dragon City's main forces being almost identical in terms of size, organization and composition.
The various weapons and equipment taken out from the equipment department were all first obtained by the First Army for the soldiers of the First Army to test. They ranged from armored swords to ultra-long-range trebuchets and large crossbows.
Machinery.
Many equipment was discontinued after the First Army's tests due to unreasonable design, and was replaced by more complete and reasonable weapons and equipment.
From this point of view, the status of the First Army in the entire military of Longcheng is quite special. Only after there were several other main force units established, they always wanted to compete with the First Army. Take a look.
Who is the real trump card? In this regard, Zhang Liao's Second Army and Taishi Ci's 51st Army are the most vicious.
As for Lü Meng's Fifty Army, because Lü Meng talked less and did more, the Fifty Army rarely participated in this kind of competition.
With the control and control of the top military officials, various units are intertwined with each other. There is competition in the friendship, and in the competition, there is also a deep friendship between soldiers and soldiers.
Looking back, it is not difficult for a discerning person to discover that the First Army is not always accustomed to silence as people imagine.
He studied under Xu Sheng and was almost a model for the First Army. This taciturn and cautious man actually had no ripples in his heart. His heart was equally sensitive and hot. In the same way, the soldiers of the First Army also formed this kind of personality.
kind of character.
Faced with the tight confinement of friendly forces, they did not choose to explain, but used more crazy and hard training to express their inner thoughts.
After the Second Army, the First Cavalry Division, the Fifty Army and other units performed well in the past wars in Longcheng, their hearts began to feel uneasy. Especially in the northern theater with a brilliant and epic victory.
The First Army felt the pressure.
Although they couldn't see it on their faces, in their hearts they were eager for the battle on the southern front to begin soon so that the world could once again see the might of the First Army.
But things did not go as planned. In order to support the northern plan, Longcheng devoted all its resources and focused on the north. However, supplies and other supplies to the southern theater were in short supply. This also led to the southern offensive that was originally launched in early spring and has been waiting for a long time.
Until now.
There are advantages to not dividing the troops and not dividing the troops, and conversely, dividing the troops naturally has its advantages.
Only Xu Sheng didn't think so. Instead of dividing his troops to fight against the major towns in the south, it would be better to concentrate on defeating the largest Phillips family in the south.
"Lord! Are you here?" Xu Sheng was startled, and then a very rare smile appeared on his face.
His smile also made the surrounding staff officers, who had seen a dead expression for the first time, suddenly widen their eyes, and even forgot to say hello to Zhou Yunfei.
Zhou Yunfei strode into the huge tent. He ignored the surprised staff officers and went straight to Xu Sheng.
Zhou Yufei, who came to the front line in person, made all the officers in the big tent excited. This kind of treatment is very rare. Soon, the news of Zhou Yufei's arrival on the front line spread. Fortunately, everyone knew the rules and did not act recklessly.
Propaganda. The main force in the theater, with the First Army as the main body, has successively captured several cities within a month.
Xu Sheng personally acted as the war reporter, speaking slowly in front of the sand table. Unlike the battle report, Xu Sheng's personal explanation made Zhou Yunfei feel as if he had witnessed the fighting. The battlefield was vividly displayed in front of him.
.
Although Zhou Yunfei has experienced many battles, this is the first time for such a large-scale battle not only for himself, but also for the entire Dragon City.
In a real advance, the fortified city defenders caused a lot of trouble to the advance of the southern theater. That's why Zhou Yunfei came to the front line in person. He really couldn't sit still in the rear, and it would be difficult to feel at ease unless he came to see for himself.
Through Xu Sheng's explanation, Zhou Yunfei generally understood some of the difficulties experienced by the main force in the southern theater in the past month.
"Then, the next step is to capture the fortified city of Brandley?" Zhou Yunfei waited for Xu Sheng to finish speaking, then he thought for a moment and pointed at the sand table and said.
Xu Sheng nodded, "Yes, according to combat requirements, this city must be captured."
"Brandley is not only the core city of the entire southwest, but also a key defense city for the Phillips family." Xu Sheng pointed at Brandley and began to introduce.
"According to the news from our intelligence department, Brandley now has 70,000 defenders, which is almost one-third of the strength of the entire Phillips." Xu Sheng opened an intelligence and then continued, "Except for the seven
In addition to the thousands of defenders, Brandley also had abundant supplies of food and grass, most of which the original Lancelot family had no time to destroy. After Brandley was captured by the Phillips family, they all became Philip.
The property of the Si family.”
The detailed intelligence covers almost the entire Brandley City, from the military to the people's livelihood, from the garrison officers to the city officials. The intelligence that the intelligence department spent a huge price to get back is the information that the entire Dragon City can only dream of.
Jia Xu never complains about the hard work of the intelligence department. For every agent outside, the unknown battle on another front is exciting, but it is more burdensome. Therefore, the military always treats these unknown heroes like them.
With a very respectful attitude. Every piece of useful information can save hundreds of outstanding soldiers. No commander would not admire these fighters in the darkness.
Zhou Yunfei naturally knew the meaning behind this, and he nodded, "It seems that Brandley must be won. Wen Xiang (characterized by Xu Sheng), how do you plan to choose?"
Xu Sheng, who was asked by Zhou Yunfei, put down the information in his hand, his eyes flashed, "Be upright and suppress him with force!"
A good one is upright, a good one suppresses them with force!
Sure enough, it is Xu Sheng's character. After being refined, Xu Sheng is probably not even as good as Zhang Liao in using the king's soldiers!
For the entire southern war, there is no need for rapid deployment of troops or other strange strategies. What is needed is to push forward!
Maybe you will say, isn't it very simple to push it aside, just pick anyone to be the commander. In fact, if it were someone else, he might lack the aura of a king. Not the aura of an emperor, but the aura of a king.
The King of Soldiers.
Xu Sheng, looking for a person who is neither arrogant nor arrogant, truly has the courage of an excellent marshal, and his first army is the well-deserved core of the main force.
Over the past month, they have experienced several battles. Although they were not big, they showed their firm belief and extremely powerful destructive power. The advancement of the Dragon City Southern Theater made the Phillips family helpless and could only sigh silently.
No matter how much John Phillips stimulated and tempted him, the main force in the southern theater remained unmoved at all. They continued to crush and advance step by step according to their own plan, suppressing the Phillips family's strategic space bit by bit.
A very simple approach, but it left the Phillips family helpless.
The next target is Brandley, one of the two key cities in the south. The Phillips family, who had no choice but to fight, decided to invest a huge amount of troops in the hope of changing the current bad war situation. On the contrary, Dragon City was equally unfazed.
Showing weakness, because Brandley City plays an extraordinary role in the entire southern front, so the army's frontline is directed at Brandley City. A big war is about to be triggered. The Battle of Brandley will have a profound impact on the entire southern front.
What role will the battle lines play?
