There were only 5,000 British troops in Assam, and 20 percent of them had fled from Burma.

At first, Sun Dingzong did not know about this situation, and under this attack, Sun Dingzong found that the British army in Assam was really vulnerable.

In just half a month, Sun Dingzong conquered more than ten cities in eastern Assam.

At this time, Sun Dingzong completely saw the reality of the British army in Tianzhu, so he hesitated? He hastily sent heavy troops to attack the rest of the cities in Assam.

In just one month, Sun Dingzong conquered all the cities in Assam.

However, due to the excessive division of troops, after capturing all the cities of Assam, Sun Dingzong was able to mobilize less than 15,000 troops.

In this way, Sun Dingzong hesitated.

Because from the mouths of the locals in Assam, Sun Dingzong learned that the total number of troops in Tianzhu was less than 40,000.

But after the 15,000 troops that can be mobilized under his command now, if he completely annoys England at this time, and asks Frank, the governor of Tianzhu, to gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress, it will inevitably outweigh the losses, so after capturing the entire territory of Assam, Sun Dingzong began to stand still.

Secretly, Sun Dingzong repaired a letter and ordered someone to urgently submit it to Zhang Lingyang in Luoyang City for 800 miles, requesting heavy troops to be stationed in Tianzhu.

Because Da Zhou had relatively little contact with Tianzhu, Sun Dingzong did not know the character of Tianzhu people.

Even Sun Dingzong thought in his heart that relying on the 35,000 elite soldiers under his command alone, he was afraid that it would be difficult to maintain his rule over Assam.

In the territory of the Great Zhou, the Spring Festival is coming.

At this time, Zhang Lingyang received Sun Dingzong's letter, but he was actually hesitant in his heart.

At this time, whether the Great Zhou will continue to maintain an offensive against England, and whether the Assam Great Zhou, which has been conquered, will continue to rule, Zhang Lingyang actually does not have a positive answer in his heart.

Because Zhang Lingyang was worried, worried that if Da Zhou continued to attack Tianzhu, it would completely anger Yingli, which would lead to Yingli sending heavy troops into Tianzhu.

Now, Zhang Lingyang doesn't want to fight to the death with England, after all, the Great Zhou has just been industrialized and cannot be interrupted by the war on the frontier.

However, at this time, Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, suggested: "Your Majesty, with the meaning of Weichen, now is a good time to attack Tianzhu.

Now that the Yingyi troops in Tianzhu are empty, if we don't attack Dazhou at this time, I'm afraid that once the Yingyi gathers heavy troops, they won't let us go.

In the past two years, Weichen has also somewhat understood the power of Xiyi, although Ying Yi claims to be the overlord of the sea, and its naval strength is invincible in the world, but now we are fighting a land war, and their navy cannot exert its combat power for a long time.

In addition, on the Xiyi side, Yingyi and France are involved there, and if Yingyi wants to maintain his rule over other colonies, he will not be able to send many troops to Tianzhu at all.

What's more, Yingyi is thousands of miles away from Tianzhu, and sending troops is not a matter of a while! ”

"It seems that sometimes I can't see as well as an ancient!" After listening to Zheng Yongji's analysis, Zhang Lingyang sighed in his heart.

In fact, it is indeed as Zheng Yongji thought, the British navy is indeed invincible, and Da Zhou is not an opponent at all, but it is only a navy.

In the war against Tianzhu, in fact, the navy could not exert any strength at all, and more was actually the combat power of the army.

The English army is second-rate in Europe at best, how strong can it be?

You know, now that Da Zhou has defeated the Rus' country, which has a first-class combat power in the European army, how can he be afraid of just England?

Therefore, after careful analysis, Zhang Lingyang came to the conclusion that heavy troops should be stationed in Tianzhu and the production of weapons and ammunition should be increased to ensure the consumption of the Great Zhou army.

After thinking about it, Zhang Lingyang decided to transfer 100,000 troops from Sichuan and Shu to Assam in Tianzhu to ensure the sufficient supply of troops under Sun Dingzong.

At the same time, Zhang Lingyang ordered the 200,000 elite soldiers from the north who had originally wanted to be transferred to the western frontier to return to the garrison.

After all, now on Assam's side, Sun Dingzong has opened up the situation, if he sends troops to Tianzhu from Western Xinjiang at this time, it is difficult to say that the gains outweigh the losses, and the battle line will be at least thousands of miles long.

What's more, the soldiers in the north may not be accustomed to the climate of Tianzhu, after all, the climate of Tianzhu is more similar to that of Myanmar and the southwestern provinces of the Great Zhou.

Originally, it was more rapid to continue to transfer troops from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. However, considering that Yunnan and Guizhou provinces had already sent 50,000 elite troops to Burma, plus they had to prevent the rebellion of the Miao people, Zhang Lingyang chose to transfer troops from Sichuan and Shu.

This is because Sichuan and Shu have a large population and are relatively close to Tianzhu, so they can mobilize a large number of troops in a short period of time.

However, similar to the situation in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, the guards in Sichuan and Shu are very few armed with firearms, only more than 10,000 people.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang made a holy decree to send a firearms battalion from Guangxi and Jingbei provinces to Tianzhu.

Guangxi borders Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and although there are mountains in between, when the firearms battalion in Guangxi arrived at Tianzhu, the Sichuan army had just arrived.

Jingbei is a little far away from Tianzhu, but in terms of transportation, Jingbei is relatively better. The 5,000 firearms battalion set out from Jingbei, went up the river to Sichuan and Shu, and then landed from Sichuan and Shu, and followed the old road taken by the Sichuan army before, passing through Yunnan and Burma, before arriving at Assam in Tianzhu.

Here, Da Zhou is gathering heavy troops, wanting to swallow the entire Tianzhu in one fell swoop.

On the English side, news of the crushing defeat of the British army in Burma had just been received.

This is where the difference in distance comes to the fore.

At this time, the English House of Lords was discussing whether to continue to send troops to Burma, but Sun Dingzong had already led his troops to capture Assam in the east of Tianzhu.

"Otherwise, it would be better to wait for His Excellency Wilson to return to China before discussing this matter!" In the House of Lords, a member of the House of Lords suggested, "Is the empire thousands of miles away from the Great Zhou?" We are actually blind to the specific situation of Da Zhou, and no one knows the real situation of Da Zhou.

His Excellency Wilson has been in the Great Zhou for several years, and he must have a very good understanding of the national conditions of the Great Zhou, if we listen to His Excellency Wilson's opinion at this time, the chances of victory will be greater than in the future war against the Great Zhou. ”

In the House of Lords, whether it is the main battle faction or the main peace faction, they all feel that this councilor's suggestion is very reasonable at this time, after all, their understanding of Da Zhou is hearsay, and no one really understands it.

However, at this time, someone still suggested: "More than 10,000 soldiers of the empire have fallen in Burma, and now the empire's troops in Tianzhu are less than 40,000. ”
