"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 864
The 300,000 brave wolf cavalry on the grassland broke through the defense line of the Far East and went south, like a drop of water thrown into a boiling oil pan, making the harsh situation of the Far East Dynasty even more chaotic.
The fourth prince, Long Tian, ??has successively received the support of eleven provinces, and has more than one million soldiers and horses under his command, occupying half of the Far Eastern Dynasty.
In order to defeat the court of the royal capital as soon as possible, the rebels acted in Daning, Pingyang Province and Hezhong Province launched an attack at the same time.
Both the Northern Army and the Zhendong Army belong to the Frontier Army system, and their combat effectiveness is also quite sturdy.
The royal court in the capital is facing attacks from three directions. Although they have the support of the Zhenxi Army, they are still struggling to support them.
It was precisely because they were under tremendous pressure that they sent out to the Golden Tent in the Grassland, and at the price of ceding the land, they got the wolf cavalry to send troops.
Following the army of wolf cavalry going south, the situation of the Longtian rebels, who had an advantage on the battlefield of the Far East Dynasty, was in a very bad situation.
Their armies are distributed in the three provinces on the front line, and they have fallen into the quagmire of war and cannot get out.
But now 300,000 wolves rode south, not only destroying the base camp of the Northern Army, but also threatening their flanks.
If they do not take effective measures immediately, they may suffer disastrous failure.
"Your Majesty, the wolf cavalry are brave and good at fighting, and they are all cavalry units. They are extremely fast. We have to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible. Once they drive straight in, the consequences will be disastrous."
Seeing Long Tian with an extraordinarily dignified expression, Li Kou, Generalissimo of the Rebel Army and Commander of the Northern Army, also bluntly pointed out their current situation.
"Li Aiqing, do you have any good countermeasures?"
Although Long Tian used to lead troops in battle, since he ascended the throne in Pingyang Province as emperor, he spent all day enjoying himself with women and became a hands-off shopkeeper.
It was like boiling a frog in warm water, so that he was a little rusty about military affairs and lost his keen judgment on the situation. Suddenly his brain was muddled, and naturally he couldn't think of a countermeasure, so He set his sights on Li Kou, the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses.
"Your Majesty, once the king's capital finds out that the wolf cavalry is going south, it will definitely make things worse and launch a fierce attack on my front line."
"At that time, we will face the dilemma of fighting on several fronts, and there is a risk of being defeated one by one."
"So I think we should immediately stop our attack on the royal capital, change from passive to active, shrink our defenses, withdraw from the battlefields of Daning Province and Hezhong Province, and stick to some strong cities with high walls and thick walls in Pingyang Province to deal with adverse events. situation."
"At the same time, after the wolf cavalry breaks through the Daling Province, it is bound to continue to go south, and the Baishan Province will bear the brunt. We should immediately deploy elite forces to the Baishan Province to build a defense line for the Baishan Mountain. We must block the wolf cavalry again. Baishan province."
"As long as we stabilize our position, we will think about counterattacking in the future."
Li Kou, the Marshal of the Army and Horses, is a veteran on the battlefield, but he is not a vegetarian. He knows what kind of situation they will face.
He not only saw the current situation, but also saw the predicament he was about to face.
So he decided to turn passive into active, and carry out shrinking defenses in advance to deal with the crisis.
Long Tian didn't expect that Li Kou would give up Daning Province and Hezhong Province all of a sudden, and he also showed hesitation.
After all, they finally spent a lot of effort to take down Daning Province and Hezhong Province, and now they give up if they say they want to give up, how can Long Tian be willing to do so.
As long as the imperial troops in these two provinces are defeated, they will be able to form a three-sided encirclement of Gyeonggi Province.
When the time comes for the three-way attack, the Gyeonggi Province will definitely be unstoppable, and he will be able to return to the capital again and become a proper emperor.
Although he is also the emperor now, he was named by himself, and his name is not justified.
If he could invade Gyeonggi Province and kill his elder brother who is already the emperor, he would be the master of the world.
Seeing that the previous efforts will be in vain, and once he abandons the area occupied by the front line, he will be farther and farther away from the Gyeonggi Province, so Long Tian is naturally unhappy.
"Li Aiqing, what do you think of this?" Long Tian also put forward his own thoughts.
"If we completely withdraw from the Daning province and Hezhong province on the front line, then the royal capital is bound to push forward and threatenThe province of Binh Duong where we are located. "
"We can appropriately shrink our troops on the front line and shrink our troops to some big cities. Even if they launch a fierce attack, we can still stabilize our position and counterattack later. These cities are bridgeheads."
"And with these areas as a buffer zone, they will not be able to threaten our Binh Duong province."
"But in this way, our troops are still deeply trapped in several areas, and there is a risk of being defeated by each." Li Kou frowned.
"Li Aiqing, after we shrink our defenses, we only need to leave a part of the army to hold on to the big cities. The army can be concentrated to support everywhere at any time."
"After all, those areas were taken with great painstaking efforts, and many soldiers were lost. If they were to give up all of them, the soldiers would probably not be willing."
"Your Majesty is still considerate."
Seeing that Long Tian had already made a decision and was unwilling to withdraw from Daning Province and Hezhong Province, Li Kou, the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, had no choice but to give up.
"Li Aiqing, now Baishan Province urgently needs a general to sit in command to defend against the wolf cavalry that is about to go south. I wonder if you have someone to recommend?"
Now the Northern Wolf Cavalry has invaded the Daling Province and occupied the Qinshui River Valley, and the next step is the Baishan Province.
Once the Baishan Province is broken through, the Pingyang Province, which is the core area they rule, will face the front and be threatened.
So now the rebels urgently need to organize a defense in the Baishan province to stop the aggressive wolf cavalry going south.
"Deputy Marshal Chai is a veteran on the battlefield, and he is worthy of great responsibility."
After thinking for a while, Li Kou decided to push General Zhendong and Deputy Marshal Chai Sheng to the front line.
Now the Zhendong Army is a tyrannical force second only to the Northern Army in the rebel camp, and Chai Sheng, the Zhendong General, is also the deputy marshal who rebelled.
The Northern Army and the Zhendong Army were at odds, and Li Kou was quite afraid of the strength of the Zhendong Army.
In the past, the Northern Army could crush the Zhendong Army because they had brave cavalry troops.
However, with the fall of the base camp, the racecourses have gradually fallen into the hands of the wolf cavalry. It can be said that the Northern Army has suffered a major loss this time.
? Within the rebel army, the strength of the northern army has been severely damaged. With the ebb and flow, the status of the Zhendong army will be greatly improved.
This is not what Li Kou wants to see, so he wants Chai Sheng to lead the Zhendong Army north to the Yunshan Province to resist the wolf cavalry, and also consume their strength.
"The wolf cavalry is very fast, and the Zhendong army is all infantry. I am worried that they will not be able to reach Baishan Province in time." Long Tian said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, the wolf cavalry is currently plundering Daling Province, Wuyuan Province and Yunzhong Province. It will take some time to go south, and I can dispatch 30,000 cavalry to go to Baishan Province first."
"The Zhendong army is all elite infantry and is good at defense. With them guarding the Yunshan province, they will definitely be able to stop the wolf cavalry."
Seeing Longtian's hesitant expression, Li Kou also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and persuade Longtian.
"In this case, let Chai Aiqing go."
After Long Tian thought for a while, he agreed, because he felt that he could not refute the reasons Li Kou said. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
