Chapter 1485
"The Third Legion may be slower. Now that it has passed by and entered Dongting Lake, it will take several days to cross the Five Lakes and enter Sanjiang. But Boss Liang is worried that he can't delay anything and will definitely arrive before the booking time." Long Zixing seemed very calm. This was his first military operation since he took charge of the Third Legion. He also hoped to prove himself with a complete victory.
"Well, all divisions should be careful. If the people below ask, they should take the name of conducting military exercises in the South China Sea area and do not announce their destination for the time being. Although this will not be hidden for a long time, it will take one day to hide it and reduce the preparation time for the Maqikans." Liang Chongxin nodded. It should be said that most of the elite troops of the imperial army are concentrated here. This shows how deep His Majesty the Emperor is in this battle. Taking down the land illegally occupied by Maqikans, and at the fastest speed, the requirement is so simple before the Liberians launch.
"Brother Liang, do you have a combat plan in this battle? What will Your Majesty plan to fight?" Huangfu Tiancheng, the commander of the Tiger Guard Corps who was staring at the sand table in the surrounding area of Maqikhan, and with his arms around him, holding his jaw, seemed to be thinking about how to fight this battle. Although he was a newcomer to the Imperial Army, he could also be regarded as a long-time general in the Tanghe Empire Army, so he was still in line with several senior generals in the Imperial Army. Although he could not be as familiar with Liang Chongxin as others, after experiencing the Southwest Battle, both sides were much closer.
"Well, Your Majesty has just proposed a general strategy. Your Majesty will not interfere in the specific combat plan. In fact, everyone knows that there are only two directions for this battle. I don't think everyone will consider North Ronesia. The disadvantages are all on our side, and no one will make any decisions from there. The advantages of launching an attack from Yuejing from Beijing are as obvious as the disadvantages. The risks are huge. Without cavalry assistance, we may succeed in the early stage, but we will be quite passive in the later stage. The attack from the west of Ronesia is a steady and steady battle. We have the advantage of mountain combat. It will be a matter of time before we take down Ronesia. It is just that the war may become long-term and not in line with the overall layout of the empire. So, today I would like to ask everyone to consider where to start, each with its pros and cons, and how to overcome the disadvantages and give full play to the advantages." Liang Chongxin leaned back, glanced at the generals, and said lightly.
Everyone's eyes had turned around on the sand table for many times. The situation was like that. Everyone knew that playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses was easier said than done, and difficulties were objective. If they had the advantage in the war, there was no need to fight this battle.
"Boss Liang, I think it is better to attack from the west of Ronesia. If you launch an attack from Yuejing, let alone whether it can work. Even if it works, the zebra cavalry and wildebeest heavy cavalry of the Maqi Khan have an absolute advantage on the Yuejing plain. Our cavalry cannot go south in this climate. Isn't this equivalent to fighting with one hand tied up with one hand? Even if the attack is successful, the results cannot be guaranteed. This is meaningless to fight in this way." Helian buzzed with a cigar and rolled his eyes. The Second Legion of the combat from the west would be the main force. He had a good plan.
"Brother Helian, I don't think so. Although the Yuejing plain is flat, the rivers and canals are crisscrossing. In addition, it is rainy season now, the Maqi Khan's cavalry cannot be as easy as they are in their local area. The terrain and climate will have a considerable impact on their cavalry, especially the heavy cavalry. If we choose the right part to defend and advance steadily after the attack, there is a chance." Long Zixing did not agree with Helian Bo's opinion.
"Brother Long, the cavalry of the Maqikhans have been on the Yuejing Plain for several years. It should be said that they are fully familiar with the Yuejing climate. As for what you say that the crisscrossing rivers and canals will affect the movement of the Maqikhans cavalry, I think this is unlikely. The Yuejing people were quite interested in traffic in this area. There are dense bridges on the rivers and canals, and there are bridges almost every few dozen miles on the rivers. I don't think their cavalry's advance will be greatly affected. As for the appropriate parts you mentioned to defend, I looked at it. There seems to be no suitable defense place for this Yuejing land, unless you can take their city, but their cities are all in the center of the plains. The Maqikhans have heavy troops to guard it. It is not easy for us to take it down at once." Helianbo immediately refuted.
"Brother Helian, the so-called surprise attack is to be unexpected. If the conventional tactics are followed, it is naturally not easy. However, if you are prepared properly, you will hit thousands of miles, and the intelligence departments in Yuejing also have internal supporters to respond to us. It is no matter how much more opportunities than attacking from the west of Ronesia. Your Majesty asks us to end the war as soon as possible. It will obviously bring a lot of trouble, and it is worth taking some risks. We can choose the northernmost part of the three cities in Yuejing as the assault point. As long as we take this city, we can look down on the Yuejing Plain and lay the foundation for the next step." Long Zixing also knew that this battle was a bit risky, but weighing the pros and cons of both sides, he still believed that it would be more appropriate to break through from Yuejing.
"Brother Long, the idea is good. The question is whether it can be done? You see, this distance is not close, it is all flat ground, and there are very few ditches. If the Maqi Khan cavalry arrives, how can we deal with it? Are we confident that when we resist the attack of the Maqi Khan cavalry, we will conquer the city? No, I think it is too difficult." Helianbo shook his head to object.
Seeing that the two were still trying to fight again, Liang Chongxin shook his hand to stop them. He had thought about this issue for a long time. The pros and cons were obvious and the risks were huge. This was also the reason why he summoned everyone to see if he could find a proper solution to the disadvantages. "She Nei, Tiancheng, Tianxiong, you also express your opinions and talk about it."
"Mr. Liang, in fact, the middle joints are clear at a glance. There are still many variables, such as how powerful the Maqi Khan cavalry is? What is their maneuverability? Can we capture a city as we wish? If the answer is no, then it is not appropriate to attack from the Vietnam War. On the contrary, the battlefield in the west is the same. If our army advances faster and can break through before the central defense line of the Maqi Khans is laid, then we can succeed, otherwise it may be long-term. Both plans have disadvantages that seem insurmountable." She Nei kept sitting on the edge and pondering that the First Legion took over the Sixth Legion's defense. The Sixth Legion finally got its turn to go on the battlefield, but this opportunity seemed not so good. Both directions were like a huge trap waiting for the Imperial Army. If you are not careful, you will fall into the quagmire.
The words of the Shenei made everyone silent. The Maqikhans dared to wave to the Liberians, so they naturally relied on it. The good terrain of Ronesia was their barrier, and Yuejing could use the advantage of the imperial cavalry to not adapt to the local climate, which was also the reason why the Imperial Army had always felt a headache.
"There is no turning back when the Liberians are not ready to stop. If we don't destroy the war potential of the Maqi Khan before the Liberians are ready to stop, when the Liberians attack us, such a strong enemy will burn behind us, and even the Three Kingdoms Alliance may be pulled in, the empire will be even more troublesome, so we have to fight this battle, and we have to fight if we don't fight! Only by fighting the Maqi Khans will we shock the Three Kingdoms Alliance and prevent them from falling to the Maqi Khans. Whether it is a trap or a quagmire, we can only find a way to overcome it." Liang Chongxin looked around at the generals around, but his plain tone was extremely firm.
"Brother Liang, I wonder what role the Nanyang Alliance will play in this battle?" Huangfu Tiancheng suddenly asked such a question. At this time, it seemed a bit less timely to mention Nanyang Alliance. All the generals were a little unhappy, but the sensitive Liang Chongxin seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and his tiger's eyes suddenly burst out with bright light.
"Does Tiancheng think we can avoid these two routes?" Liang Chongxin tried his best to suppress his inner excitement, as if he suddenly discovered a bright light in the darkness, which suddenly brought a hint of inspiration to Liang Chongxin who was thinking hard.
"Well, Tiancheng also means this. Instead of exploring these two routes with fatal flaws, it is better to find another way. If there is no need to worry about it at the political level, I think we can open the gap from the South China League." Huangfu Tiancheng's words were obviously thoughtful, and the only thing he cares about was probably political excuses.
Liang Chongxin and the generals had returned to the sand table. The mountains of Ronesia were winding across the mountain between Zhongnan County and the southern part of the Yuejing Province. To the south is the Maudanite Kingdom, a member of the Nanyang Alliance. This is a medium-sized inland country. The terrain is similar to that of Ronesia. The mountains are horizontal, but it is a little smoother. Crossing the Maudanite area is the Daliao country in the south of Yuejing. This is also a small inland country, and from the Daliao country you can directly insert into the southern part of Yuejing.
