Chapter 185: All-out War
Ling Xia had never dealt with Gao Tianci, the general of the battle guard, and he didn't know who his military would go, so Ling Xia suggested that Fu Qingyun go to Gao Tianci and let Gao Tianci go to the top to reflect, and integrate the thirty legions into the forefront of Yuankun Frontier, that is, where the provinces of Anzhou and Tulai are located.
The shape of Yuankun Frontier resembles a square, and the provinces of Anglia and Tulai are located due east, opposite to the island nation, Ling Xia's meaning is very simple, all the battle guards on the west, south, and north sides of the square are all drawn to the east to resist the charge of the island army.
Although the other three may also be attacked by the island nation, compared to the geographical location to the east, the enemy will not bypass the east and attack from the north and south of the flank, they will concentrate their forces to break through the eastern defense area and then cut straight into the two flanks.
The reason why the enemy army will storm the east is because the two eastern provinces are the only way inland to the war zone, so even if the army of the island attacking country is trapped in two wings, as long as the east is still supported, the supplies and materials of the battle guard army can still be transported to the northern theater through the eastern channel, so they will definitely storm the eastern front.
After Ling Xia explained all this to Fu Qingyun, Fu Qingyun immediately saw the situation clearly, and he immediately went to Gao Tianci for instructions, explained Ling Xia's analysis, and then asked Gao Tianci to go to the generals of the war guards in other provinces, and strive to transfer all the battle guard troops in the ten provincial cities to the eastern front deployment area.
I thought that at the moment of the war, this matter would definitely be captured, but I didn't expect that after Gao Tianci went to discuss with several other war guard generals, he heard that he would transfer other army corps to Anglia Province and Tulai Province to participate in the deployment, and those war guard generals and army commanders did not agree.
The generals of the war guards in various provinces rejected Gao Tianci's proposal on the grounds that the military order did not allow them to move without permission, and some of the generals of the war guards even thought that Gao Tianci was deliberately alarmist in order to protect his own defense area, and he wanted to trap everyone in injustice, and even some army commanders ridiculed and ridiculed Gao Tianci.
In this way, Gao Tianci was angry, and returned empty-handed, when Fu Qingyun asked about the result of the discussion, Gao Tianci told him that don't think about it, not only other provinces refused to transfer troops to Anzhou, but even the Tulai Provincial War Guards who were close to him refused to join forces to resist the enemy.
Knowing this result, Ling Xia was a little frustrated and disappointed, since the battle guards in other provinces refused to join forces to fight the enemy, he could only rely on himself, he found Xiang Kunlun and Nangong Xiu by himself, and reached an agreement with the two, and the three of them supported each other and fought together.
At the same time, Fu Qingyun went to the General's Mansion again, and met with Zhao Zhongguo, the commander of the First Army, and Ge Youjun, the commander of the Second Army.
Next, everyone began to hoard a large amount of grain and grass, whether it was the rice grain that the soldiers ate, or the forage needed by the war horses, all parties fought desperately, although everyone grabbed it hard, but the state of Ontario only received a million stone of grain, which is the standard configuration of each legion.
The establishment of each regiment is 100,000 people, and because the battle flag division is 60,000 soldiers, the Third Army Corps has 130,000 soldiers in the establishment, although the number of personnel is 30,000 more, but when the war zone distributes materials and grain and grass, it is distributed according to the standard of the reorganized corps.
One stone of grain is equal to sixty catties, and one million stone is sixty million catties of grain. One army is 100,000 soldiers, and three army corps are stationed in each province, so the amount allocated by the theater to the battalions of the war guards in each province is 1 million stone of grain in the issue of grain and grass.
The total number of the three regiments deployed in the provinces is 300,000, and according to the calculation that each soldier consumes six catties of grain a day, 300,000 soldiers need to consume 1.8 million catties a day, which is 54 million catties of grain in a month.
According to this algorithm, one million stone of grain can not only meet the food consumption of the war guards in various provinces, but even provide four more days of rations, so no matter how Gao Tianci asks for instructions, the department responsible for distributing materials in the territory just refuses to agree, and refuses to allocate more than a catty.
When he went to the legion to apply for grain and grass, Ling Xia looked at the materials of the Battle Flag Division, and sighed a little for a while, these grains and grass may be enough for other divisions and regiments, but for his own division, it can only support fifteen days, because the soldiers of the Battle Flag Division are 30,000 more than other divisions.
Seeing that the supplies were insufficient, Ling Xia wrote a handwritten letter to Nangong Xiongba in front of Fu Qingyun, in which he talked about two things, the first was to integrate the thirty legions of Yuankun Xinjiang and unify the transfer to the eastern border to join forces to resist the enemy, and the second thing was to hope that Nangong Xiongba could allocate enough food and grass according to the actual establishment of the battle flag division and the number of prisoners to be captured.
Ling Xia thought very well, with his relationship with Nangong Xiongba, the other party would definitely listen to his suggestions, at that time, Nangong Xiongba would not only order the transfer of thirty legions in Yuankun Territory to the eastern border, but also allocate the food and grass materials that the Battle Flag Division lacked according to actual needs.
But there are always some things that exceed people's expectations, the chief officer in charge of delivering the general order in the Northern Theater is called Nangong Ran, speaking of which, this Nangong Ran is Ling Xia's old acquaintance, he used to be the commander of the Dongcheng Legion of the Imperial Capital Forbidden City.
Because the four sons played tricks from the barracks, Ling Xia was angry and instigated the Praetorian Guards to mutiny, and later in order to calm the anger of the soldiers, Nangong Xiongba personally came forward to appease the army and drove Nangong Ran and his four sons out of the Praetorian Guards.
Originally, Nangong Ran's father and son could no longer be reinstated, but after the chaos in the world, Nangong Xiongba's hands were short of people, so he had no choice but to reuse Nangong Ran's father and son, and let them be responsible for transmitting military orders and integrating military intelligence in the war zone.
In the past, Nangong Ran basically did not get involved in the general orders of the war zone, and the people under him did what they wanted, but recently, because the war was approaching, he was worried that there would be a mistake in the military situation, so Nangong Ran personally stared at the general order of the war zone and the various defense areas.
Coincidentally, as soon as he walked into the camp, Ling Xia's handwritten letter requesting to adjust the defense line and apply for supplies, grain and grass arrived, and when the general officer in charge of receiving it read the flying pigeon from the horse, Nangong Ran's heart moved, and then, he asked the general officer to present Ling Xia's handwritten letter.
He hoped that the war zone could transfer the thirty legions of Yuankun Jiang to the eastern front to defend against the enemy, and applied for the war zone to allocate enough supplies for the battle flag division, so as not to starve the soldiers and prisoners without military rations.
After reading the contents of the letterhead, a sneer appeared at the corner of Nangong Ran's mouth, and he instructed the general commander: "This secret letter from the horse is very important, and I will personally send it to the Metropolitan Governor." ”
After speaking, Nangong Ran turned around and walked out of the camp tent, and came to a corner where no one was around, he looked around, and saw that there was no one around, Nangong Ran took out Ling Xia's handwritten letter, tore it up and shook it into confetti, and threw it in the air, letting the confetti drift away with the wind.
