Chapter 487 Setting up a war zone
[PS: In the new week, I rolled around the ground and asked for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, of course, remember to subscribe]
No matter how the world changes, Ouyang Shuo’s path has to be taken step by step.
However, on October 5, an urgent message from the Military Information Department disrupted Ouyang Shuo's inspection plan, forcing him to end his inspection of Zhaoqing County in advance and hurried back to Wulong City.
Just as Chen Sheng and Huang Chao were jumping up and down, Hong Xiuquan, who had been tolerant, finally took action. As soon as the king took action, Shanhai City was in trouble.
On October 2, the day after Chen Sheng established the country, Hong Xiuquan secretly reached a tacit understanding with Chi You. Representatives of the two sides signed a peace agreement on the border of Wuzhou County. The two major indigenous forces did not invade each other and remained peaceful.
One person heads west and the other person heads east.
As soon as the agreement was signed, all the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Eastern Army stationed on the border of Wuzhou County evacuated. Even the Dongdaying was completely revoked.
At the same time, the troops stationed on the western border of Chiyou City also evacuated.
No one knows how the two sides communicate and can trust each other to such an extent. If that is to say, it is unheard of forbidden to each other.
The entire peace talks were extremely secretive, and the participants were all senior officials of both sides. Otherwise, the two major intelligence agencies, the Military Intelligence Department and the Black Snake Guard, would not have received any news, and the peace talks had been reached.
The removal of defense between both sides is only the first step in the entire operation.
The Eastern Army, which had retreated from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, joined forces with the Southern Army, and pointed directly at the Mulan Fortress. The two armies, totaling 150,000 troops, advanced to the Mulan Fortress with the momentum of Mount Tai, and came in full force.
It seems that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is determined to take down the Mulan Fortress.
I don’t know what is in Lianzhou County, which is worth Hong Xiuquan’s promotion.
When the Military Affairs Office received the news, it immediately ordered the Chengwei Division to go north and immediately enter the Mulan Fortress. It assisted the Third Division of the Longxiang Army stationed in the fortress, that is, the evil division to fight against the powerful enemy together.
In this way, the entire Shanhai City is an empty city without a soldier or a soldier.
Du Ruhui immediately ordered that the city defense forces of various prefectures and counties in Lianzhou County should enter the first level of alert and be on standby at any time. The only thing that is fortunate is that the first formation of the Beihai Bay Fleet has successfully returned to Beihai City.
The portal of Lianzhou is currently free.
The First Division of the Hu Ben Legion stationed in Qiongzhou County is also urgently moving to Yashan City. Once the situation changes, the Fan Lihua Division will be the main force to reinforce Shanhai City.
In addition to attacking the Mulan Fortress, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also merged the Western Route Army and the Northern Route Army to form a new Western Route Army, with a total force of 200,000, and the troops were directly aimed at Kunming County in the eastern part of Yunnan Province.
Kunming County is the largest county in Yunnan Province, occupying one-third of the province's territory and is also the sphere of influence of Lingxi City.
After a period of expansion, Lingxi City has occupied more than half of Kunming County's territory. However, Kunming County occupies too much land, and it will take some time for Lingxi City to control the entire county.
But before Bai Hua could go further, such an accident occurred.
Lingxi City is not without precautions for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The problem is that the three counties occupied by the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom are not only expanding to the west and north, but also to the south of Sichuan Province, and the southern Hunan Province are all good places.
Unexpectedly, Hong Xiuquan didn't know how his brain cramped, so he changed his previous strategy of attacking from all sides and instead concentrated his troops to attack Kunming County with all his strength.
In this way, the situation of Lingxi City will be bad.
Lingxi City is located just near the junction of Yunnan Province and southern Sichuan Province. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s troops were launched in Yunnan Province, and Lingxi City was the first to be affected.
After receiving the news, the entire Lingxi City has issued a Level 1 war mobilization.
The 50,000 army led by Zhang Liao was rushing to the border and setting up the first defensive chain at the border. The total strength of the entire Lingxi City is only about five divisions and about seventy thousand troops.
This time, Bai Hua fought with all his strength.
It’s not possible to do your best. Once the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army advances, the nest will be lost.
What made Bai Hua helpless was that the entire Kunming County, which had not been occupied by Lingxi City, chose to watch the wall this time very unanimously, without any intention of joining the coalition forces.
Perhaps, in the consciousness of these lords, instead of being slowly eroded by Lingxi City, it is better to watch Lingxi City be destroyed. As for how to deal with it in the future, I will talk about it later.
In other words, Lingxi City cannot recruit reinforcements for the time being.
For a moment, Lingxi City was in a hurry.
Lingxi City is a very important node in Ouyang Shuo’s territory and cannot be lost.
At this moment, only Shanhai City may be able to increase its troops. [Shanhai Alliance] other allies are now in war and cannot escape.
This battle in China finally forced [Shanhai Alliance] to the edge of the cliff.
As for how to increase troops, Ouyang Shuo has to make unified arrangements.
Nothing else, just because of the action, it is not just the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Since the withdrawal of troops on the western border, Chiyou has formed a large army of 100,000 barbarians and began to assemble on the eastern border, with the troops directly aiming at Zhaoqing County, which had just been pacified.
After a year of silence, the land of a county could no longer satisfy Chiyou's appetite. This great demon finally showed his fangs to the wilderness.
Shanhaicheng is the first to be affected.
At the same time, the newly established [Lingnan City State] was also a sharpening knife. Ruan Ping announced with a high profile that the [Lingnan City State] will form a planned 100,000 Allied troops in the shortest time and be arranged on the border of Zhaoqing County. If the situation allows, the possibility of attacking Zhaoqing County is not ruled out.
In addition, the [Caiyun League] in the southern Hunan province north of Zhaoqing County, after several days of emergency consultation, finally reached an agreement and formed the second city-state in China - [South City-South City-State].
[South Hunan City State] As soon as it was established, Caiyun South announced at the forum that in order to maintain the security of the southern Hunan province, the city state will consider prioritizing the deployment of troops on the southern border.
For a moment, Shanhai City was surrounded by powerful enemies.
It was against this background that Ouyang Shuo rushed back to Wulong City in a hurry.
Originally, Ouyang Shuo was still hesitating whether to attack east or west after the army was reorganized. Unexpectedly, the enemy made a choice for him.
Now, Shanhai City is attacked from three sides.
How to solve this situation requires a good plan.
**********
On October 8, Wulong City, the conference hall.
There were only four people participating in the temporary military discussion this time. The Military Affairs Director Du Ruhui, General Bai Qi, General Sun Bin and General Han Xin, who were hurriedly teleported from Shanhai City.
These four people are the Dinghai Shenjian of the Shanhaicheng Military.
Du Ruhui first briefly introduced the surrounding situation, and instead introduced the latest progress of the reorganization of the army, and reported it: "Since September 14th, the army has begun to reorganize on a large scale. Twenty-five days have passed, and the reorganization of the entire army is coming to an end. The only thing that is lacking is some weapons and equipment, because the journey is long and has not been transported in place. Generals of each department can start to receive the troops."
As soon as Du Ruhui finished speaking, everyone was shocked in the hall. To deal with the current crisis and reach a certain scale of the army is the greatest guarantee.
It has to be said that Shanhai City's military expansion came too timely. At that time, if Ouyang Shuo had a slight doubt and reduced one or two divisions, his situation today would be much more difficult.
According to the deployment of the Military Affairs Bureau, four security divisions have already arrived at the station one by one.
The Zhaoqing County Garrison Division was stationed near Tianshuang City and was the first to arrive. The Lianzhou County Garrison Division and the Second Division of the Chengwei Division have also gone south and arrived at Beihai City by boat from the north of Leizhou County.
In less than three days, two major security divisions will be in place.
In this way, the safety of the base camp will be temporarily safe. The First Division of the City Guard Division led by Zhao Sihu can be stationed in Mulan Fortress with peace of mind.
Otherwise, there would be no garrison in Shanhai City, and even Ouyang Shuo was panicked. If there were any adventure players making any noise, they would have to rely on the two thousand yamen runners in Shanhai City to clean up.
The Zhenhaicheng Guard Division also sailed south by boat.
There is also a coastline in the southern part of Zhaoqing County. The Zhenhaicheng Guard Division will board the ship at the temporary port and head to Zhenhaicheng to guard it.
In this way, the entire trip will take less than a week.
In less than five days, the Zhenhai City Guard Division will be in place. In this way, the three thousand Shenwu Guards will be freed up to arrive in Wulong County directly through the teleportation array.
In addition to the Shenwu Guard and the Imperial Guard Division, the three large-scale legions can be mobilized now.
Shanhai City was attacked on three sides, Ouyang Shuo's idea was to roughly divide the three legions and each was responsible for a defense zone to avoid causing chaos in command.
To this end, Ouyang Shuo introduced a new concept - war zone.
"Everyone," Ouyang Shuo looked around at the three gods below and said in a deep voice: "To deal with the current crisis, it is also to set up a model for the defense zone of the future army. This Hou decided to set up the first formal war zone in Shanhai City. The so-called war zone is the only highest command organization in this strategic direction. The war zone has the position of the war zone commander and the war zone commander. The war zone commander has the right to mobilize all combat troops in the jurisdiction."
As soon as Ouyang Shuo finished speaking, Bai Qi and others all had their eyes fixed.
There is no doubt that compared to a pure general like the Legion Commander, the theater commander has greater decision-making power, and if he assumes part of the responsibilities of the Military Affairs Office.
Ouyang Shuo established a war zone, considering that with the expansion of territory, the expansion of military scale, and the complex and changeable external environment, the Military Affairs Office could no longer be able to cover everything.
To this end, in order to maintain the flexibility and mobility of the front-line troops, the entire command system will not be stiff due to the long journey and cannot flexibly deal with the front-line battle situation.
Setting up a war zone is the best choice.
