The garrison division was also led by Zhang Liao.

Although he is not a polished commander, he is still very different.

Plus it’s a new arrival.

Lian Po wisely remained silent on how to organize a major counterattack.

Mainly watching the two generals Yue Fei and Guo Ziyi.

Yue Fei was the first to speak, "With the strength of the two legions of Longxiang and Tiance, if we adopt a strategy of attacking from all sides at the same time, we can win, but it may not be able to prevent the enemy from being defeated."

"The combat effectiveness will be compromised."

"But if we adopt the tactics of 'encircling three and missing one', cutting off the enemy's middle route army, and attacking the enemy's east route army, south route army and west route army at the same time, with proper command, we have a great chance of annihilating all three armies."

Eliminate engineers and baggage troops.

The two legions of Longxiang and Tiance have a total of ten divisions, fifty-two brigades, and three hundred and twenty-two battalions, with a total of 161,000 soldiers.

Including the Guards Division that can participate in the counterattack, the total number is 168,500.

The enemy's East Route Army, South Route Army, and West Route Army combined totaled about 600,000 people. Taking into account the enemy's huge battle losses during the general offensive.

By then.

The enemies that Chang'an's army really needs to deal with may only be a little over 500,000.

Given the elite level of the two armies, Long Xiang and Tian Ce, one against three, and in a surprise attack, the chance of a complete victory is over 70%.

The reason why Yue Fei chose to cut off the middle route army is also very simple.

"The terrain in the north of Chang'an City is narrow and can only accommodate an army of 30,000 to 50,000 people. The main force of the Central Route Army is actually stationed on the north bank of the Meiruo River."

"As long as our army finds a way to control the Meiruo River, it will be equivalent to cutting off the support of the Central Army."

It is not difficult for Chang'an to do this.

Since the allied forces attacked the city, the three trump cards of Chang'an Navy, Octopus Monster and Kraken have not been played, but they were planned to be used at the most critical moment.

And with the beginning of the major counterattack, this moment has obviously arrived.

"The Leopard Tao Brigade of the Fourth Division operating in the northern part of Haiwan County can also contain the enemy's central route army in the north after the war begins." Guo Ziyi added with a smile.

Apparently he also approved the "surrounding three and missing one" tactic proposed by Yue Fei.

Because this is in Chang'an's best interests.

For Chang'an, defeating the coalition forces is only the first-level strategic goal. Defeating the coalition forces and strengthening itself at the same time is the second-level strategic goal.

Either don't attack, or once you attack, the enemy will never forget it.

"Then it's settled."

Tang Jing also always respected the opinions of professionals and said in a deep voice: "I order that Yue Fei be appointed as the commander-in-chief of this major counterattack and be fully responsible for this major counterattack."

"Appoint Guo Ziyi as deputy general and Lian Po as general of the rear army."

Wartime is unusual. There must be only one voice for command in the army, and it is necessary to appoint a chief general.

"yes!"

Generals Yue, Guo and Lian took orders at the same time.
