187. Chapter 187 The Fortress Falls, and the Alliance Portal Opens!(2/2)
The war had just reignited when Chang'an sent another "big gift".
Fear came over me again like a tide.
Because it was so shocking, not only the lords of the three major provinces of Ika, Bute and Tara were panicked, but the lords of the entire alliance were shocked by Chang'an's shocking methods.
How come they captured three major fortresses?
This is incredible.
The Alliance Council naturally held an emergency meeting as soon as possible.
"Giant dragon, magic crystal cannon, giant..."
After listening to the reports from the three major provinces, before the meeting, the representatives from the other provinces, who had originally appeared to be asking for guilt, suddenly fell into an embarrassing silence.
If you put yourself in their shoes, they probably wouldn't be able to resist it.
It must be thrown away!
"This is Chang'an's ultimate move."
Gale, the representative of Xihai Province, was worried, "Looking at it this way, Chang'an's attack on the two counties is more like a cover. The real purpose is actually the three major fortresses."
The simultaneous fall of the three fortresses meant that the Aztec Alliance was open.
In the future, Chang'an can completely go out of the Valley Province and attack any of the Ika, Bute, and Tara provinces. Once the three major provinces fall one after another, the alliance will not be far away from being finished.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the alliance was so shocked when the three major fortresses fell at the same time.
"Can the fortress be recaptured?" someone asked with concern.
"It's hard!"
The person who answered was John, the representative of the Ica Province, who had long lost his previous high spirits. "The fortress itself is built in a dangerous place. It is difficult to attack and easy to defend. Once it is occupied..."
The Alliance does not have big killer weapons like giant dragons and magic crystal cannons.
Even if there is.
But Chang'an is not bad, so how can it give the alliance a chance?
"Now it is not a question of whether to recapture the three major fortresses. Have you ever thought about what will happen to the coalition forces in Lorton County and Nash County as the three major fortresses fall into the hands of Chang'an and are still stranded in Lorton County?"
The speaker was Simons, the representative of the North Plains Province.
"..."
As soon as Simmons said this, the group fell into silence like a bird again.
Everyone is creepy.
yes.
With the capture of the three major fortresses, the coalition forces stationed in the two counties were truly isolated and helpless.
The alliance was previously conceived.
The plan to use two counties and cities to bring down the Chang'an army naturally failed.
What is even more embarrassing is that due to the isolation of communications, the coalition forces still do not know that the three major fortresses were captured by Chang'an, and it is impossible to leave by mail.
The only option is to "sit back and wait for death".
It is even said that even if the alliance discusses some countermeasures, it will be difficult to contact the coalition forces.
This is too cruel.
"No more hesitation, no more unrealistic illusions, start an alliance-wide war mobilization. With Chang'an's greed, the next battlefield will definitely be the provinces of Ika, Bute and Tara."
John, the representative of Ica Province, spoke out urgently.
Among the three major provinces, Grant can probably take care of Tala Province without Chang'an's intervention.
Bit Province is in the middle.
It is also unlikely to become Chang'an's primary attack target.
The next battlefield.
There is a high probability that it is the province of Ica.
No wonder John was so anxious and asked the alliance to initiate war mobilization.
The crisis is imminent!
"agree!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
This time, even Simons, the North Plains provincial representative who had defected before, did not object again.
Chang'an is too scary.
If we don't respond appropriately and take it lightly, the alliance is really in danger of overthrowing.
You must go all out!
………
Regardless of how the alliance mobilizes, Chang'an is still advancing step by step.
After conquering the three major fortresses, Tang Jing, who was in Chang'an, rarely directly intervened in Bai Qi's command and adjusted the garrison of the Aoshan Fortress.
Lian Po led the 13th and 14th Divisions of the City Guard Corps to replace Yue Fei's troops and garrisoned the Aoshan Fortress.
no doubt.
Tala Province was not among Chang'an's priority targets, but was on the defensive.
Whether it is Okuyama Fortress, Luoshan Fortress or Morishan Fortress, due to the narrow terrain, they can only station about 50,000 troops.
It is precisely because of this.
After the city gates were breached, the three major fortresses were quickly captured by the Chang'an army.
In addition to the 13th Division and the 14th Division, the 15th Division of the City Guard Corps will also be stationed in Oud County for a long time and become the reserve force of the Okuyama Fortress garrison.
Once something happens to Okuyama Fortress, the 15th Division can go to support at any time.
………
In addition to adjusting the Aoshan Fortress garrison, under the instruction of Tang Jing, the General Administration of Military Affairs presided over by Du Ruhui has not been idle since the battle began.
In addition to providing logistics, intelligence, weapons and equipment support to frontline troops, the General Administration of Military Affairs also has a very important job, which is to receive, screen, and reorganize prisoners of war.
The general attack on Luoton County and Nash County has not yet begun. Tang Jing has already proposed to use the prisoners of war to expand three major legions in one go, namely——
The Tiger and Ben Legion, the Leopard Tao Legion and the Ying Yang Legion.
In the past three days, the eastern and western armies captured a total of 17 county towns and captured more than 50,000 people. They captured three major fortresses and captured a total of more than 100,000 people.
Adding them all together, even if some unqualified soldiers are eliminated and some of the soldiers are allocated to local garrison units, the remaining ones are enough to form a fully-staffed main battle corps.
The first one to be formed was the Tiger and Ben Army.
According to the establishment, the Huben Corps will be under the jurisdiction of the 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th divisions.
Tang Jing cut the knot quickly and directly announced a series of general appointments.
Meng Tian, the former deputy commander of the Flying Bear Army, was promoted to the commander of the Huben Army;
Li Siye, former deputy commander of the 20th Division, was promoted to division commander of the 26th Division;
Yang Zaixing, former deputy commander of the 25th Division, was promoted to division commander of the 27th Division;
Gao Shun, the former commander of the 7th Division's trapped brigade, was promoted to the division commander of the 28th Division;
Lu Feng, former commander of the Longxiang Brigade of the 1st Division, was promoted to division commander of the 29th Division;
Tu Gang, the former commander of the Shanshan Brigade of the 2nd Division, was promoted to the division commander of the 30th Division.
From the promotion and appointment of generals, it is not difficult to see Tang Jing's good intentions.
Needless to say, the commander of the legion, Meng Tian, has been decided a long time ago. Among the five newly appointed division commanders, Li Siye and Yang Zaixing were all transitional as deputy division commanders before, so it was natural for them to be promoted.
Among the three recent generals who were promoted from brigade commander to division commander, they include Gao Shun, who represents the historical generals, Lu Feng, who represents the player generals, and Tu Gang, who represents the wild generals.
The game is all about balance and fairness.
