"Gather all the generals and prepare to discuss the strategy of attacking Yanchuan!"

The generals of the rebel army had been looking forward to this moment since a few days ago, and they couldn't help but get excited when they heard this. Now that the empire is in turmoil, it has long been exhausted, and sensible people have long seen the predicament of the empire.

The rebel army won a hundred battles, and obtained a large number of materials and equipment in Jingyue Kingdom, and now the rebel army is strong and strong, and suddenly appeared east of the Kunyun Mountains, and the imperial officers and soldiers were unaware, and it was easy to capture Yanchuan.

Although in the previous exchange, they had already learned from Yang Qi that Yanchuan had three garrison regiments and more than 16,000 soldiers and horses, but since the start of the army, the rebel army has repeatedly broken the elite of the official army, and the gap between the combat strength of the two sides is very large, and the generals are full of confidence.

Soon, in the main account of the Chinese army, the three guard generals, including Zhou Ping, Li Wu and Zhang Yan, as well as Jiang Feng, the intelligence chief and staff officer, and other high-level civil and military officials, all sat down.

In front of them was the terrain sand table that Yang Qi had made with the time spent renovating. One of the largest and most detailed is the topography of the six prefectures of Yeoncheon-gun, including the main prefectures and topography.

The other is the terrain around Yeoncheon-gun.

Because of the local military strength of Yanchuan County, Yang Qi still doesn't pay attention to it, so if he wants to plot against Yanchuan County, the main consideration is the surrounding forces of Yanchuan County. For this reason, Yang Qi planned to analyze the generals under him first, after all, it was impossible for everyone to understand as well as him.

First of all, to the east of Yanchuan County is the Kunyun Mountains and the Jingyue Kingdom, which is where the rebel army came, so there is no need to say more.

To the south is Tiennan County, which borders the Donghu Kingdom, and at the border is an elite division of the empire.

To the west is a long, narrow and steep mountain with a long and steep mountain peak, and over the many peaks, is another country, Assam, a country that believes in the Brahmanic religion.

To the north is Hanzhong County, close to Yanchuan County, and further north is Wudu County and Xiliang County, which are mostly cavalry-based.

"That's the general terrain, please see. Let's say we've captured Yeoncheon-gun. ”

Yang Qi picked up a teaching stick and nodded the sand table: "The Kunyun Mountain Range in the east is the safest place, so there is no need to think about it." To the west is the Brahmanical country, and although the border is close to each other, there are steep mountains blocking it, and a small number of caravans and adventurers will come here, but the terrain does not support large-scale marches. There is no threat to my Yanchuan County from both sides. ”

"In the southern border area, although the empire has stationed 50,000 elite troops and is led by the famous general Fan Sheng, their responsibility is to defend the border and block the invasion of the Donghu Kingdom. With this great enemy present, the legion did not dare to leave easily.

"What's more, according to my inference, at the beginning of this summer, Donghu will usher in the male lord Canglong, and will soon annex the kingdom of Arokan, and he will completely unify Donghu. This man is ambitious and will soon invade the Empire, in which case the Imperial Legions on the border will not be a threat. ”

After analyzing the three directions, Yang Qi made a conclusion about the situation in Yanchuan County.

"For a period of time in the future, the only thing to consider is the north!"

Yang Qi is a little heavier at the junction of Hanzhong County and Yanchuan County, where there is a world-famous Dragon Pavilion City!

The border between Hanzhong and Yeoncheon is only a short stretch, and it is all dense forest. If you want to enter Yanchuan County from the north, you need a few small roads that need to cross the mountains and mountains, which are not suitable for the passage of large armies, and the only land passage is only the natural passage between the cliffs and mountains on both sides, and a pass was established in ancient times between the entrances of the passages, and after the reinforcement of the dynasties, the current scale was formed, a city with a strong pass and a military fortress!

This military fortress city towering over the steep mountains naturally formed a population concentration over hundreds of years, and the empire spent tens of millions of gold coins worth materials on it in five years to build.

The entire fortress is not a simple foundation building, but a magnificent structure formed by the steep mountain range. Unlike the two-story structure of a regular fortress, Ryukaku Castle is a rare three-story building.

But no matter what you say, Dragon Pavilion City is indeed the most magnificent building on the continent to date.

The fortress consists of three parts: a military area, a commercial area, and a residential area.

From the map, the whole fortress looks like a kind of trapezoidal building, the outermost is a twenty-meter-high city wall, and the lowest floor is a city residence - although Longkaku City is the name of the fortress, but this fortress is not a complete military fortress, there are also a large number of imperial people living here, and its resident population is as high as 300,000, which is the second largest city in the whole Yanchuan County.

The first big city is the county seat of Yanchuan County, Yandu City, with a population of up to one million, that is to say, the occupation of Yandu City will also pacify the entire Yanchuan County, but Longge City has not been occupied, and Yanchuan County has always been in a strategic passive position.

The upper floors of the residential area are the real core of the entire fortress.

This complex is built on the hill, and the upper square area is connected to the inner city, but the fortifications on the city walls can take care of the part of the city. That is to say, once the enemy breaks through the gates of the fortress and enters the outer city, then the fortifications in the outer defense area can be put into use immediately, thus bringing a strong killing surname to the enemy. Even when the enemy breaks through the city and turns into the inner city to start street fighting, the defense zone can still play a very high role in defense assistance.

Moreover, in the defense area, there is a vast area that can allow a thousand-man cavalry force to charge and fight, and the empire spent a lot of money to level this terrain. As for the inner city defense area at the back, it is built with complex terrain and buildings, and these two places are the real meat grinding battlefields of Dragon Pavilion City. If you can't completely take the inner city defense area, you can't completely occupy the entire Dragon Pavilion City.

This fortress can accommodate a total of 100,000 soldiers, but such a scale of the fortress, its daily maintenance, patrol, and guard of the number of soldiers naturally reached an astonishing level, at least more than 3,000 soldiers are needed to complete the entire fortress to stand guard, patrol, guard and daily maintenance, according to the military code of three shifts, this fortress needs 10,000 soldiers to work every day.

The nearby terrain is so treacherous, but its strategic importance is extremely important.

Whoever masters Longge City will master the land passage from the Northland to and from Yanchuan County!

Moreover, the significance here is not only military, but also economic. Most of Yeoncheon-gun's cotton, rice, and raw silk were transported by land, and land convoys had to pass through Yonggak, making Yonggak Castle an important trading city.

Where the tax alone is the most important fiscal revenue of Yanchuan County.

No matter what words you use to describe the importance of this place to Yeoncheon, it is impossible to overstate it!

It is precisely for this reason that one of the only three local garrison regiments in Yanchuan County was stationed here.

"So, do you understand the point of our plot against Yanchuan?"

After going into detail about it, Yang Qi pointed out Hanzhong County in the north of Yanchuan County on the map, and then clicked on Longge City in the northernmost part of Yanchuan County.
