Chapter 163 Douglas offers advice, the alliance wants to turn defense into offense?(2/2)
"Don't the intelligence show that the City Guards Corps is the weakest among the three enemy legions?"
Some lords questioned it.
"Not really."
Douglas shook his head, "The latest intelligence shows that the City Guards Corps is operating together with the enemy's Guards Corps Cavalry Second Division. I don't need to explain the weight of a heavy cavalry division, right?"
"Need not."
The lords immediately thought that during the Battle of Chang'an, the Allied Center Army was destroyed by the enemy's heavy cavalry division.
It makes people shudder just thinking about it.
"With the support of the heavy cavalry division, although the enemy city guard army is attacking the two counties at the same time, it can receive support from the heavy cavalry at any time, so it is not an ideal target for an ambush."
Douglas added explanation.
As for the Fengxiang Regiment that is attacking Choctaw County, it is located in the middle. If it is ambushed, it can receive reinforcements from both the left and right wings at the same time, so it is naturally not a suitable target for an ambush.
Only the Flying Bear Legion.
A place that is on the enemy's right flank and is attacking two counties at the same time is most suitable for being besieged.
"certainly…"
Douglas changed the topic, "If we can get in touch with Grant and rebuild the relationship with Grant, and then let the coalition forces from Ika Province and Bute Province teleport to Pelican County and cooperate with the coalition forces, maybe after defeating the enemy Flying Bear Army,
Then severely damage the enemy city guard army."
In a short period of time, Douglas actually had a comprehensive plan.
He is indeed a famous general.
He just proposed that the Alliance take the initiative to contact Grant, which shows that he had already planned it.
It also reminds the lords present that the alliance not only has only 500,000 coalition troops, but also has provincial coalition forces from Ika Province, Bute Province and Tara Province.
With a total strength of one million troops, there is really no need to panic.
"this…"
The eyes of the lords also gradually brightened.
If the two armies of Chang'an can be defeated in one battle, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Chang'an and will also be an unprecedented victory for the coalition. It will be of great help to boost the morale of the alliance.
It can also break Chang'an's invincible image in one fell swoop.
It’s definitely of great benefit!
