Chapter 1241 Tactical Adjustment

The Gaojin tribe, which occupied Awa, continued to move south, but with the confluence of the Dongyu Dynasty and the Meng tribe and the support of the Dutch Kingdom behind it, the opponent's resistance gradually increased. At the same time, due to the lengthening of the front line, the Gaojin tribe's attack to the south was not as strong as before, and Gaojin's military posture was weaker.

"This won't work!"

The front line command post, Gao Jin frowned and said, his army was now blocked north of the Xitang Valley area between the Bogu Mountains and the Bennong Mountains, which is the location of Naypyidaw, the capital of Burma in later generations.

Naypyidaw does not have this city yet, only two or three small towns, but their geographical location is very important, and they are the key military routes to attack southern Myanmar.

Everyone looked at Gao Jin. The army went south and stopped the enemy here, which really made Gao Jin feel dissatisfied. The Myanmar Tung-yu dynasty, which had not strongly resisted when they attacked Awa City, has become tough now. The damn Meng tribe not only united with the Tung-yu dynasty, but also constantly harassed Gao Jin's food route.

After Gao Jin's troops started the war in Myanmar, their main combat soldiers were around 70,000, which was not included in the number of auxiliary soldiers. Judging from this number, Gao Jin's military strength was not weak.

However, Gao Jin went south and the occupied land must be divided into troops. It is necessary to know that Gao Jin's troops are not Burmese Tu people. They are outsiders and have weak foundations in Myanmar. Some rural areas or forests can be ignored for the time being. However, if there is no military force guarantee in cities and towns, then Gao Jin's troops will not be able to effectively rule the occupied areas.

Although Myanmar is a small country, as a country, its territory is as large as one or two provinces in the Central Plains. Gao Jin's 70,000 troops were removed from the guardian forces after devising the division of troops and taking down Awa City, and the actual number of troops to move south was only more than 20,000. This is also the reason why Gao Jin's troops' attack strength is not as good as the beginning, but this is also a kind of helplessness.

"Prince, our troops are insufficient, and the front terrain is complex, and the number of one-time forces to deploy the battlefield is only a thousand people. In addition, the Meng tribe has been sending troops to harass our army's retreat, so..." a general explained.

Before he could finish his words, Gao Jin waved his hand to stop him from continuing. As the commander, he knew of these things, but this was not a reason for slow going south. Myanmar must be taken down. Only by completely eliminating the Tou Dynasty and the Meng clan Gao Jin could he truly control Myanmar.

More importantly, the envoy who enthroned him as the King of Burma was about to arrive, and his army still had not advanced to southern Myanmar, which was not a good thing for Gao Jin.

"Leave five thousand people here for the time being and continue to attack south, but do not fight recklessly, just hold the other side." Gao Jin was an extremely decisive person and quickly made a decision: "The rest of the people, including Myanmar soldiers, followed me across the river from the west and took a detour."

"Prince! No!" Zhang Miao was startled and quickly dissuaded: "Although the prince may break the deadlock like this, the risk is too great! How can our army ensure the logistics of the river? Moreover, the southern region not only has the remnants of the Dongyu Dynasty, but also the forces of Western countries. Fighting to support war must not last long. Once the situation changes, I am afraid it will be a dilemma!"

"Yes, Prince, now I have occupied most of Myanmar, and Awa City is also in the hands of our troops. The Dongyu Dynasty and the Meng tribe have always had deep grudges. Now they are united just like the Liu and Sun coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms to resist Cao's army. According to the humble position, although our army is blocked from here, the initiative still controls our army. As long as we have to fight steadily and step by step, the enemy will definitely not last long. It will not be too late to drive straight in at that time!"

"General Mu said, Prince! Myanmar's foundation is of great importance. Once the army is defeated, we will not be able to gain a foothold in Myanmar. Why take this risk?" With Zhang Miao's objection, many generals here felt that Gao Jin's decision was inappropriate.

In their opinion, Gao Jin's risk of doing this is too great. Crossing the river and moving westward, and then detouring southward is desirable from a tactical point of view, but you should know that Gao Jin's troops have no foundation in southern Myanmar, and the later period of the army's southward advance was guaranteed from Ava.

Once such an action is taken, the army's logistics support cannot be guaranteed at all, so the army can only rely on the food and grass it carried and the south attack to solve the problem. There are too many uncertain factors in this. If the Dongyu Dynasty in the south cannot be solved as quickly as possible, the aggressive Gao Jin tribe will be in a dilemma.

Furthermore, Gao Jin's tribe has received news that this time the joint efforts of the Dongyu Dynasty and the Meng tribe are shadows of Western countries, and Western countries have a great power in southern Myanmar, and they may directly intervene in this war.

Once this happens, Gao Jinte will even suffer a devastating blow. The previous efforts will be wasted, and even the Ava that has been occupied may not be able to protect.

In addition to Awa, there are also areas in the northern part of Awa. At that time, Gao Jin will gather the remaining troops in the north and may barely gain a foothold in northern Myanmar. However, in this way, the plan to control the entire Myanmar will be completely bankrupt. As for the Ming Dynasty's act of enthroning Gao Jin as the king of Myanmar, it has become a complete joke.

"No need to say more, I have decided on this!"

Faced with the chaos, Gao Jin shouted first, and after everyone stopped, Gao Jin said seriously: "This battle is about our army in Myanmar. If we cannot decide in one battle, we will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Myanmar. Everyone! The risk of military operations is extremely high, but at present, there is only one way to go. Please focus on the war!"

Gao Jin has a high prestige in the army, and everyone here is his capable subordinates. Although many people have doubts about Gao Jin so eagerly and do not agree with Gao Jin taking such risks. But since Gao Jin has decided and said this, everyone knows that the result has no change.

Moreover, Gao Jin did this, which is not unreasonable. Under the current circumstances, it is indeed necessary to resolve the war in Myanmar as soon as possible, thereby completely dismantling the other party's alliance. If time goes on for a long time, not only will the goal of unifying Myanmar be unable to be achieved, but it will also shake Gao Jin's rule in northern Myanmar due to the existence of the remnants of the Tou Dynasty and the Meng forces.

"Prince! I am willing to stay in this battle, protect the rear of the prince, and hold the enemy in front!" Zhang Miao knew that he could not persuade Gao Jin, so he stood up and volunteered to be the chief general here.

After looking at Zhang Miao, Gao Jin nodded: "Since that's the case, thank you for your hard work. Remember not to fight recklessly, just continue to show off."

Zhang Miao nodded, patted his chest and assured Gao Jin that he would rest assured. Since Zhang Miao had decided to lead the troops here, the next step was to cross the west and go south without delay. Gao Jin had to complete the tactical adjustment before the other party reacted. He immediately ordered one by one as Gao Jin announced, and Gao Jin's unit soon began to make adjustments.

In less than three days, Gao Jin's troops were officially divided. On the day of the division, Zhang Miao's troops set off to continue to attack the south. However, although the movement was large, they were not substantial. At the same time, they were slightly guarding the food route and the rear to prevent the Meng tribe's sneak attack.

At the same time, Gao Jin's main force began to use the collected ships to cross the river quietly from the upstream. After crossing the river, he rushed to the south without waiting for the complete assembly.
