Chapter 998: The Battle in Shuzhong (6000)
[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Strictly speaking, the Emei faction is actually facing the strategic siege of the four directions of the power countries at the same time, in addition to the Mongolian forces, the Western Regions forces, and the Western Xia Dali forces, there is also a Southern Barbarian Kingdom force in the south There is a tiger eyeing there, but the Medicine King Valley of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom camp is very closely related to the Forgetful Pavilion, and the Emei faction is extremely close to the Forgetful Pavilion, so under the mediation of the Medicine King Valley, Basically, it can ensure that the NP forces of the Southern Barbarian State will not go north to invade Sichuan. 9078.8C3A4I6h5o7n8g67e9n8x0u2e30.9c7o9m8
Of course, the fundamental reason why Yaowanggu and its Southern Barbarian State's attitude towards the Emei faction was relatively relaxed was that the Southern Barbarian State had taken Guilin and could directly enter the Huguang region of the Central Plains without going to Sichuan to wade into troubled waters.
Putting aside the Southern Barbarian forces for the time being, let's just talk about the Mongolian forces in the north and the Star Sect to which they belong, which actually have several strategic routes to choose from.
One is to lay down Lanzhou City, and then march southeast to Chang'an City, directly into the hinterland of the Central Plains, but the difficulty of taking this route is too great, because Lanzhou City is an important town in the Western Regions of the Central Dynasty, the city at the beginning of the game to brush up on two million soldiers, Mingjiao also sent a large army to garrison, which is also one of the main reasons why the Mongolian army has been fighting to Yongdeng Town, not far west of Lanzhou City, but has not taken Lanzhou City.
Secondly, even if the Mongolian army and its star faction defeated Lanzhou City, the days ahead will not be too easy, because the main force of the Mongolian army is the rangers, once they leave the empty grassland and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, their advantages of coming and going without a trace can no longer be brought into play.
The second strategic route is to detour through Lanzhou City, march to the northeast, and fight for Yinchuan, Taiyuan and other cities with the Khitan camp in the south, this route can be said to be the best route for the Mongolian forces, once Taiyuan is taken, it has a very wide horizontal strategic surface, when it can go south into the Central Plains, and can attack the city of Beijing in the east, and can also retreat to the north in the unfavorable situation, the opponent wants to stop it, can be invincible.
However, this strategic route is not without problems, although the mobility of its troops is extremely strong, enough to run thousands of miles in a few days, but if you attack Yinchuan and further attack Taiyuan, the battle line is too long, if you can't win the first battle to win Yinchuan City, or after taking Yinchuan City, you can't have time to replenish the source of troops or you haven't been stationed for more than half a month before the other party is driven out, then the strategic intention mentioned above will not be realized, but it will be no achievement, In terms of overall strategy, it will also be completely limited to passivity in the first year of the national war.
Moreover, even if you take 10,000 steps back, what if Yinchuan and Taiyuan are occupied by Mongolia? During this period, there will be a great cost of casualties, not to mention, only to say that the occupation of these two economically underdeveloped, usually few players pass by the town, in the future during the African war year will not be able to collect much tax at all, its root is chicken ribs, so, unless continue to go east to occupy the city of Beijing to get oil and water, but obviously, this depends on whether the Khitan and Jurchen countries agree, at least during the first war year, this route of the march is only of strategic significance, and can not bring practical benefits.
On the whole, the above two types of advance routes are a bit of a suspicion of aggressiveness, both of which do not take into account the safety of the rear and the long-distance direct entry route, if the Mongolian camp does not have the addition of the Star faction, the Mongolian NP leader may choose one of the routes to gamble, but unfortunately, Long Xiaotian, who has a great influence on the formulation of Mongolia's strategic plan, is not the kind of person who likes to take risks, this kind of character is actually not innate, but after spending blood to encircle and suppress Fang Jie, he seriously summed up the lessons learned.
Since the failure of the encirclement and suppression of Fang Jie, Long Xiaotian's daily style of acting has become much more rigorous, insisting on the basic principle of not expressing his stance on uncertain things and not doing anything that is not completely certain, so for a period of time, Long Xiaotian and his Star Sect have stopped a lot, and they have not been troubled by Fang Jie and the Forgetful Pavilion, but during the battle of Xiangyang City, Long Xiaotian thought that the opportunity had come, and he thought that he had a complete grasp of taking the Vulture Palace, so he took advantage of the fact that the Forgetful Pavilion could not take care of it. Sure enough, he succeeded in laying down the Vulture Palace, which he had always regarded as a thorn in his side, and this achievement was a good result of Long Xiaotian's adherence to pragmatic principles.
Therefore, in the choice of the route of the march, Long Xiaotian adopted a prudent strategy, suggesting that the Mongolian army avoid the main force of the Mingjiao and the Central Plains, divide the troops into three routes, one to feint the attack on Lanzhou City, two to the south, one to cross the Qinling Mountains where the defense line of the Mingjiao forces is extremely weak, and enter the territory of Sichuan, and the other to advance eastward along the outer line of the Qinling Mountains.
Long Xiaotian's plan was that before occupying these two cities, he would send a master to attack the outpost and secretly control the two towns, and then join forces with the outside when the Mongol army arrived, and after occupying the two towns, he would temporarily garrison the two cities and hold his troops still, and then decide the direction of his invasion according to the situation at the time after obtaining the permission to brush troops in the place.
If you can, of course, send troops north from Hanzhong Town, directly capture Chang'an City, if it really can't work, then simply hit back the horse gun, brush troops from Guangyuan Town and turn back to the Shuzhong region, and strive to take the entire territory of Sichuan during the first national war year, in short, Long Xiaotian does not insist on hitting the hinterland of the Central Plains in a short time, as long as he can occupy Sichuan and obtain the three-year tax revenue of the non-national war year, he will be satisfied.
I have to say that this strategic plan set by Long Xiaotian is quite conservative, not only does it play a supporting role in the Mongolian army, which has strong mobility and combat effectiveness, but it also does not reflect the demeanor of the Xingzhu faction, which ranks high in strength among the various factions in the rivers and lakes, but it is undeniable that this is a very pragmatic strategic plan, even if you don't take Chang'an City, at least you can gain a firm foothold in Sichuan, even if you can't take the entire territory of Sichuan, with the strength of the Xingzhu faction and the assistance of the Mongolian forces, it's no problem to account for half, right?
As long as a certain amount of results have been achieved in the first year of the National War and have taken root in the outlying areas of the Central Plains, then the next year of the National War will be the time for the Star Constellation Sect to show its ambitions.
In this plan, the most important thing is whether the Nakshatra faction can gain a firm foothold in Guangyuan Town and Hanzhong Town, and it is obvious that the Central Plains factions will definitely not watch the Xingzhu faction take root in the two places, but then again, some things are not transferred by human will, and for the Central Plains factions, thinking and doing are two different things.
The sect that can bring unstable factors to Long Xiaotian's plan, if you analyze it carefully, there are actually only two and a half sects, the reason why it is said to be "two and a half sects" is because the two factions of the Quanzhen faction and the ancient tomb faction located in Zhongnan Mountain of the Qinling Mountains will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely send troops to intercept it, and the other half of the sect is the Ming Sect, and its forces may divide a part of their forces to invade Hanzhong while controlling the Lanzhou-Chang'an line.
However, if the Xingzhu faction can cooperate with the Mongolian army that feints to attack Lanzhou City, Mingjiao may not dare to divide Hanzhong on a large scale, and for Mingjiao, the strategic position and economic status of Hanzhong Town are not important, and it is really not beneficial to capture Hanzhong Town, Long Xiaotian has considered it from the perspective of Mingjiao, if he is the head of Mingjiao, he will not attach too much importance to Hanzhong Town, because its strategic role can only be truly reflected when entering the Central Plains after the Shuzhong region is occupied by other forces. At that time, the forces that control Hanzhong may stage the scene of Zhuge Liang's six exits from Qishan.
Since it is unlikely that the Ming Sect will send troops to intercept or capture Hanzhong, then the Xingzhu Sect will only face the Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect.
Judging from the strength ranking of the various factions in the rivers and lakes, the Ancient Tomb Sect is at the middle level, the Quanzhen Sect is a little weaker, at the middle and lower levels, and the Star Sect in the context of its strong gangster organizational structure, its management system and development system have been very sound, and the development momentum is extremely strong, its comprehensive strength is second only to the Forgetful Pavilion and the Beggars Gang, and is on a par with Wudang, Shaolin, and Mingjiao
Therefore, in Long Xiaotian's eyes, even if the Ancient Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect joined forces, there was nothing to worry about, and I believe that if the heads of these two factions had a little bit of self-knowledge, they should not be fighting with the Star Sect.
As for the other factions in the nearby area, Long Xiaotian thinks that there is no need to worry, such as the Emei faction, which faces strategic threats in three directions at the same time, relatively speaking, the threat posed by the Mongolian forces in the north is not too big, after all, if Mongolia wants to enter Sichuan, it will cross the mountains and cross the Qinling Mountains, and there are three factions of Mingjiao, the Ancient Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect in the middle, it is estimated that Feng Lin scratched his head and may not be able to expect Long Xiaotian to take this route, and even if he expected, due to the threat from the west and south, The Emei faction, which was not very strong, was also weak, and it was impossible to take care of the war in the north.
Moreover, although the Emei faction is not completely isolated, there are Qingcheng factions and the original Tangmen army sent by the Forgetful Pavilion to help each other, but the combined strength of these three parties is estimated to be barely able to ensure that Chengdu City is not lost, after all, the forces of the Western Regions to the west are supported by the Blood Knife Gate and the Dalun Temple, and the Dali Kingdom in the southwest is needless to say, its Dali Duan clan is not weaker than the Emei faction, compared with the enemy, even if the Emei faction plus the Qingcheng faction that has just improved a little plus the Tangmen friendly army, the strength is still slightly at a disadvantage, It is even less likely that there is still energy to pay attention to the situation in the north.
In fact, the Emei faction Fenglin was already in a state of anxiety at this time, and the army of the Western Regions continued to pass through the Hengduan Mountains along the eastward official road, and attacked in the direction of Chengdu City.
The Blood Knife Gate and the Dalun Temple originally wanted to learn nonsense to have a blitzkrieg and quickly capture the hinterland of Chengdu, Sichuan, but fortunately, Feng Lin and the head of the Qingcheng faction had already taken precautions and made timely countermeasures, but they did not succeed, but despite this, the Blood Knife Gate and the Dalun Temple still seized Ya'an Town, a transportation hub town west of Chengdu City.
Ya'an Town, located at the intersection of Sichuan and Tibet, less than 300 miles away from Chengdu City, is the combination of Sichuan Basin and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau transition zone Han is the gateway and only road of the ancient Southern Silk Road, known as the "throat of western Sichuan", "Tibet gateway", "ethnic corridor" said, the blood knife gate and the big wheel temple seized the city, which is equivalent to opening up an important passage to the Central Plains for the army of the power country to which it belongs, and it is also the only passage.
Obviously, the strategic importance of Ya'an Town is no less than that of Chengdu City, if the Emei faction and the Qingcheng faction can occupy the town in advance, then the army of the Western Regions will not be able to advance an inch, and can only go to the Central Plains and sigh, but unfortunately, whether it is an ordinary player or the head of the various factions, they are not the kind of very professional military strategists, especially for the various factions of the central imperial forces that are stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, it is impossible to realize that a certain city is a strategic point at the beginning of the national war, and it is impossible to take the initiative to send troops to garrison the place.
Compared with the factions of the Central Dynasty, the sects of the other eight directions of the influential states obviously have a sense of crisis, which is obvious, for example, Hu Shuo directly claimed in front of Fang Jie that he had no ambition to occupy the whole country at all, and believed that the Central Imperial Powerful States would definitely win the final victory in the national war, which already represented the goal of the national war of the sects to which other foreign forces belonged - not to unify the country, but to become the hegemon of one side, to get enough benefits in the early stage of the national war, and then to retreat
In order to achieve this goal, the heads of the various Jianghu sects belonging to the foreign forces naturally study the map of the rivers and lakes every day, trying their best to open up the national war situation for their own forces, this back and forth, those who are not military experts of the high-level factions have gradually become half of the military experts, at least in the future strategic decision-making, can do the knowing, advance the layout, seize the strategic points, nonsense to drop five million Hu Miao army to seize Beijing City, Long Xiaotian rearranged the strategic route, the Blood Knife Gate and the Dalun Temple in advance to seize Ya'an Town, It is a strategic arrangement made under this sense of crisis, and at present, the effect may not be too obvious, but it has also made the factions in the Central Plains gradually fall into a passive strategic situation.
It is precisely because of this that although the passive Emei faction realized the strategic intentions of the Western Regions forces, they could no longer drive them back to the west of the Hengduan Mountains.
Moreover, the strength of the two factions of the Blood Knife Gate and the Great Wheel Temple is no less than the strength of the Emei faction, the Qingcheng faction and hundreds of thousands of Tangmen reinforcements, the key problem is that the Emei faction of the nurse profession is not good at force, in fact, in the process of fighting, the top is the Qingcheng faction and the Tangmen disciples, and the number of players in the latter two combined, is not more than half of the total number of Emei faction disciples, so the Emei faction and the other two friendly forces can barely hold Chengdu City, but if you take the initiative to attack, With relatively low combat effectiveness, they simply can't compete with the players of the Blood Knife Gate and the Great Wheel Temple, who are good at fighting tough battles.
In this way, the Emei faction and the Qingcheng faction are equivalent to giving up the defense of Chengdu City, Qingcheng Mountain, and Emei Mountain in Sichuan, in other words, if the Blood Knife Gate and Dalun Temple are willing, they can completely surround this area, or bypass Chengdu City and use Sichuan as a springboard to directly kill into the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Of course, the Blood Knife Gate and the Great Wheel Temple have the same cautious attitude as the Xingzhu faction, after all, once they cross Sichuan and enter the Central Plains, they will have to enter the Lianghu region, and the sect forces that currently control the Lianghu region are precisely the two major factions of the Forgetful Pavilion and Wudang, and the Wudang faction is good to say, the key is that the Forgetful Pavilion and its head Fang Jie will never tolerate being beaten to the doorstep.
And the Xingzhu faction Long Xiaotian and the Blood Knife Sect are decadent and bloodless, the person who doesn't want to provoke the last thing is Fang Jie, and the sect that they don't want to provoke the least is the Forgetful Pavilion, so even if the rich Central Plains region is in front of them, they don't dare to be greedy for merit, at least until they completely control the entire territory of Sichuan and stabilize the rear, they will never dare to enter the Lianghu region.
Therefore, at present, the idea of the Blood Knife Gate, the Great Wheel Temple and the Xingzhu Sect is relatively consistent, that is, to take down all the cities in the whole territory of Sichuan first, and then say, the most important thing is Chengdu City, once Chengdu City is occupied, you can radiate your own forces to other parts of Sichuan, so as to establish a stable rear, of course, you can also ignore Chengdu City, but adopt the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside, first occupy the surrounding towns, and then go back to clean up Chengdu City.
The Mongolian army and its subordinate sect Xingzhu faction, which went south in two ways, chose to adopt the strategy of encircling the city in the countryside, occupying Hanzhong and Guangyuan in advance, while the Blood Knife Gate and Dalun Temple, in the early stage of the national war, originally wanted to directly take the city of Chengdu, but later due to the large casualties in the siege, and lost the opportunity, so they also adopted the strategy of encircling the city in the countryside, using Ya'an Town as a stronghold to infiltrate the surrounding areas of Chengdu City.
In this process, the Emei faction and its fellow camp forces also fought a few small battles with the disciples of the Blood Knife Gate and the Great Wheel Temple outside the city, trying to prevent the other side from infiltrating the east, but after a few battles, the Emei faction did not get any bargains, and the casualties were one or two percent more than the opponent.
It's a pity that the current deployment of the Forgetting Pavilion is known to the world, among the three million regular regiments, two million went to the area of Taizhou City to brush the Dongyi soldiers, and later because Fang Jie let go, another 500,000 were reinforced, and among the remaining 500,000, 300,000 of the original Tang Sect Department have been reinforced to the Emei faction, and the last 200,000 were evenly divided into four and a half full teams, which were strictly guarded at the teleportation point of the Simen Bazaar in Xiangyang City all day long, so as to prevent other forces from launching a surprise attack on Xiangyang City.
So theoretically, there are actually no soldiers to be sent to the Forgetful Pavilion at present, of course, if strictly speaking, among the tens of millions of Forgetful Pavilion life players, there are at least five million martial arts players, but these martial arts players are temporarily unable to enter the regular team establishment of the Forgetful Pavilion because of the failure of the sect ring match, and without a regular establishment, they cannot enjoy a series of benefits such as death insurance and housing subsidies. Otherwise, why should people work for you?
However, if you don't continue to send troops to reinforce the Emei faction, once the Shuzhong region is occupied by foreign power countries, then the Forgetful Pavilion will have to have a head-on conflict with the other party, and even if the Forgetful Pavilion can suppress the other party, its own development in all aspects will be seriously affected, at least, the more than two million Forgetful Pavilion disciples who are frantically brushing up the NP of Dongyi Country in the eastern region will have to return at least half of the aid, and the logistics economy of Xiangyang City will also be seriously affected.
Therefore, if you want to continue to increase the number of troops in the Emei faction, unless the Forgetful Pavilion draws a part of the troops from the 2.5 million troops that are brushing the troops, but the problem is that the dispatched troops are less, and it will not play a big role in helping the Emei faction, and more, it will have an impact on the layout of the troops around Taizhou City, and it is a question of which teams to send back, after all, there is a competition mechanism between the teams of the Forgetful Pavilion, and the leaders of each department are of course willing to farm monsters on the spot out of their own interests. and did not want to run to the west to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Just when the high-level of the Forgetful Pavilion was arguing endlessly about whether to send troops to aid and which teams should be sent to reinforce the Emei faction, the situation in the central Shu region further deteriorated, and the Dali Kingdom of Yunnan had already waved its army north at this time after capturing Guizhou City, and also killed in Sichuan, making the situation in the central Shu region more sinister, and the forces of Emei and Qingcheng had been completely compressed in the surrounding area of Chengdu City
Seeing that the situation in the southwest had deteriorated to such a situation, the elders of the Forgetful Pavilion who were arguing endlessly knew that they could no longer hesitate at this time, so they hurriedly sent a text message to Fang Jie, who was brushing monsters in the Beijing Imperial Palace, asking Fang Jie to decide the matter personally.
Prior to this, Fang Jie had clearly put down his words, saying that during the period of monster farming and leveling, it was forbidden for others to disturb, and all the internal affairs and national war affairs of the Forgetful Pavilion were presided over by the main persons in charge of each department, but this time, the high-level officials had different opinions at the elders' meeting, it was difficult to unify their opinions, and the time was extremely urgent, so they had no choice but to turn to Fang Jie for help.
After Fang Jie received the text message from the elders, he did not make a decision immediately, but carefully browsed and analyzed the intelligence information about the situation in the central Shu region and the dynamics of the relevant power countries, and then issued a series of orders to transfer troops that dazzled everyone...
