Chapter 222: Gears of War

In a war, the generals on the front line and the rear often have different judgments, and in this era, the fighter plane is fleeting, and in the rear, Li Zhe cannot fully control the battle situation in front, Xu Qingyuan has run too far, even if Li Zhe immediately sends a carrier pigeon to the front line now, there is no guarantee that this order can reach the front line in Xu Qingyuan's engagement with the enemy.

Therefore, it is impossible to achieve precise control in any war in this era, and every part of the command of the battlefield needs to be consistent with the main direction of the battlefield as much as possible, which requires the generals on the front line to have a certain strategic ability, be able to control the battlefield in detail, and achieve an accurate understanding of the overall goal of the army.

Therefore, in later generations, a battlefield often only needs one brain, but in this era, countless brains are needed within the scope of a war to unify the war, and they must all have the ability to command in order to achieve the perfect conduct of the battle.

Li Zhe didn't know if Xu Qingyuan had such ability.

But as the commander-in-chief, what Li Zhe has to do is that no matter what the outcome of this war on the front line is, the overall direction of the entire campaign will not change because of it.

This is the so-called general trend of the battlefield, moving forward mightily, no matter what kind of response the enemy makes, the direction of the battlefield is irresistibly advancing towards one's own victory.

"Zijian!" Li Zhe shouted Zhang Yu's words.

"In!" Zhang Yu hurriedly stepped forward,

Looking at this senior brother of his own, Li Zhe encouraged:

"Banda Aceh did a good job in the early stage, thanks to Brother Zijian's talent."

Zhang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and it was a great thing for him to be praised by his junior brother Li Zhe.

"However, there is still much work to be done, and I hope we can do better here."

Before Zhang Yu could return the gift, Li Zhe arched his hand and said,

"It's all up to Brother Zijian here. This time, you are the rear of our Tianzhu Army, the top priority of our army. ”

Zhang Yu hurriedly replied,

"Don't dare, the lower officials will do their best,"

He also knew his heavy responsibility this time, guarding Banda Aceh, which was almost equivalent to the only grain and grass important place for the entire Tianzhu Army, and he also saw the strategy sent from above, Banda Aceh here will be built into a large rear with logistics, material operation, ship repair, weapon manufacturing and other functions.

The shipyards and arsenals under construction in the harbor were all preparations for this war.

The war planned in Li Zhe's Governor's Mansion has gone beyond the boundaries of traditional warfare and is almost similar to the modern warfare of later generations.

Li Zhe made these preparations, greatly expanded the continuous combat capability of his army, expanded the scope of the battlefield, in Banda Aceh, the combat radius of the Tianzhu army and navy has been enough to cover the entire Manchuria, the Tianzhu army's attack on Manraka, by no means limited to just a line or even a few surface attacks, with this Manraka Strait, the entire Manraka will be his battlefield.

He can attack the enemy's rear at any time.

Li Zhe had now exploited the potential of the war machine in his hands to the maximum, and the enemy opposite him would never have imagined what kind of war they were facing.

Although the traditional warfare, muskets, and artillery of this era have all entered active service and have become the main body of the army of the era, because there are no suitable tactics and there is no such line tactics as Li Zhe's praise of the Japanese army, the power of firearms warfare is still far from being brought into full play.

Their strategy and tactics are still stuck in the era of the Spanish phalanx.

Now, Li Zhe will show them what it means to be a real war in the age of firearms.

After waking up Zhang Yu, Li Zhe didn't say more, in his opinion, he, a senior brother who rose up step by step, was enough to be worthy of a big responsibility, as long as he could stabilize the situation here for himself.

As long as there are no problems here in Banda Aceh, then this war is impossible to lose.

He had such good hole cards in his hand, how stupid he must have to be to lose such a hand.

What's more, there is also Da Song, turning around, Li Zhe asked as if he had just remembered suddenly,

"How is the Great Song Dynasty now, is that Lord Qincha still waiting for us to meet us in Annan Province?"

Li Zhe said with a smile.

In his opinion, the Qincha from Jinling was really stupid.

It really surprised Li Zhe a little that he really wanted to use the army in Myanmar Province, but he didn't know that Li Zhe had already sent a force to Bangladesh just in case, and it was their trick to prevent it.

Hehe, I'm afraid these people's thoughts are still stuck in the era of the Great Song Dynasty Huanghuang Tianwei, the order of the world, and the respect for everything!

It's a pity that hundreds of years have passed now, and the territory of the Great Song Dynasty has expanded several times, but at the same time, the ideas of the feudal princes at the beginning are different from before.

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty did have overwhelming prestige, but it was based on strong military strength, but now these princes who have spread to various places have gradually grown up from their original childhood, and now the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is so big that it is impossible for the force of the Great Song Dynasty to be shrouded in those distant corners.

Regardless of whether the Great Song Dynasty is willing or not, Tianzhu, King An, King Ning, these vassal states have gradually grown up and have begun to have their own demands, in this case, these officials of the Great Song Dynasty still want to sow authority in all directions with a holy decree and a few slogan threats.

And among them, a big country like Tianzhu has now become an object that even if the Great Song Dynasty really uses a large army, I am afraid it will not be able to surrender.

The Great Song Dynasty is now dealing with Tianzhu, and it's okay to use Huairou means, maybe there is still some room for turnaround, but directly use force? Hmph, that's a terrible choice.

The minister of the Great Song Dynasty turned out to be such a thing, so that Li Zhe had no reason to convince himself of a truce!

One of the following officials stepped forward and replied:

"Hui Dudu, according to the information of Xizuo, "Since Li Dan's Shunfeng Dart Bureau was completely under Li Zhe's command, Tianzhu's intelligence organization in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty began to be established. It's not as dark as it used to be.

The officer replied:

"The Great Song Qincha, now no longer in Annam Province, they have begun to sail south, into the Manraka Strait, it is said that this Qincha Lord, want to ......" Speaking of this, the official paused.

"What do you want?" Li Zhe was stunned for a moment and continued to ask.

"It is rumored that Lord Qincha is looking for the Governor, and he already knows that the war is under the command of the Governor himself, and he said that he will come to the Governor and personally persuade the Governor to stop this war!"

"What?"

Li Zhe chuckled.

Come to him personally, to stop this war?

It's late!

It's so naïve!

Why didn't he stop Li Zhe when he was rescued from the attack and returned to Cam Ranh Bay, and when Li Zhe escaped by himself and returned to Tianzhu, why didn't he stop it, even half a month ago, when the Tianzhu Vanguard Army had just beaten down Xiada Aceh, there was still hope for Da Song as long as he stopped it in time.

Li Zhe dared to say that his purpose in planning this war was never to really eliminate King Ning.

But now, all is in the past, and the Chincha-sama has missed all the best opportunities.

Now, at this point, the war has become difficult to ride, and at this time, even Li Zhe himself, or even Her Majesty the Queen, is impossible to stop.

Who made King Ning's domain so vulnerable?

The performance of the Manraka people in this war was so unbearable that all the people of Tianzhu saw the hope of a great victory and saw unimaginable benefits. The rich Manraka people, the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years, are not far ahead, like the fattest fruit, waiting for the Tianzhu people to pick.

Attracted by wealth, Tianzhu, who has now been fully mobilized, has been transformed into an incomparably terrifying war machine, this greedy beast, can no longer be stopped, no one can.

In the Banda Aceh Prefecture, Li Zhe gave a series of orders, and then countless warships in the harbor either ignited or hoisted their sails and set sail, turning into countless arrows and heading towards the target.

The addition of these fleets from the rear meant that the main force of the Tianzhu Army finally joined the war, and the war between the two major vassal states of the Great Song Dynasty finally escalated to the point of life and death.
