Chapter 1323 Geographical Pattern

The most bizarre of the nine years of chaos in Gaia is none other than the European battlefield.

Until mid-April, the whole of Europe was at peace, and there seemed to be no sign of another war, which is a bit of a counterintuitiveness.

Ouyang Shuo even wondered for a time whether the European dynasties were going to stop fighting.

Of course, this is impossible.

According to the information from the Black Snake Guard, the European dynasties stopped fighting for nothing else, just to finish the spring ploughing first. Last year's successive wars, the granaries of the dynasties were almost empty, and this year's spring ploughing is naturally more and more important.

The six dynasties have formed a tacit understanding rarely.

Ouyang Shuo got the news and shook his head funny, Europeans really have a "gentlemanly demeanor", they seem to be tall, but they are actually calculated to the bones.

He wanted to see where the war in Europe would eventually go.

…………

April 20, Jingshi.

The battle of Tianzhu has lasted for more than a month, and the momentum is still unabated, the two sides are fighting hotly, and the front-line battlefield has completely turned into a meat grinder, and there are a large number of casualties at every moment.

As a result of internal friction, Tianzhu District is declining.

Both the Peacock King and the Gupta King are actually aware of this, but now that the war has been fought, they are already involuntary and must win.

Otherwise, there is no way to give an account to the subjects.

What's more, they are quite confident, confident that with the overall strength of the Tianzhu District, even if there is internal friction, they are not afraid of the provocation of outsiders, including the powerful Great Xia.

It's a pity that they are overconfident.

Great Xia, the tiger, has always been eyeing Tianzhu.

Royal Palace, Conference Room 1.

Ouyang Shuo personally presided over the joint meeting of the Imperial Theater to study and deploy the war against Tianzhu.

The development of the situation in Tianzhu District is completely in line with Daxia's expectations.

Present at the joint meeting were Jia Xu, a senior scholar of the Senior Cabinet and chief military adviser of the Military Aircraft Division, Du Ruhui, minister of military affairs, Admiral of the Indian Ocean Fleet, Huo Quai, commander of the Praetorian Guard, Wang Qian, commander of the West Asia Theater, Li Jing, commander of the South Asia Theater, and Wu Qi, commander of the South Asia Theater.

This meeting can be regarded as a preparatory meeting for the war, not a real immediate war against Tianzhu.

With the sharp rise in the cost of transmission, it is no longer advisable to directly teleport the large army to the front line, and it is necessary to deploy at least one month in advance to mobilize the troops of the four major theaters.

After the study of the Military Aircraft Department, it was decided to divide the army attacking Tianzhu into three routes.

The Northern Route Army, attacking from the border of Xikang Province, aimed directly at the Ashoka Dynasty. The expeditionary forces included the two major armies of the South Asian Theater and the four corps of the West Asian Army stationed in Xihai Province.

A total of 14 legions, with a total strength of 700,000.

Li Jing, commander of the South Asian Theater, served as the commander of the Northern Route Army, Zuo Zongtang, commander of the Yingyang Army, served as the left deputy general, Hou Junji, commander of the West Asian Army, served as the right deputy general, and Ran Min, commander of the South Asian Army, served as the vanguard officer.

It is equivalent to saying that the Northern Route Army will be divided into three routes in detail.

The South Asia Theater Logistics Support Center is solely responsible for the logistics of the Northern Route Army, and when necessary, the West Asia Theater Logistics Support Center will provide logistical support.

The Western Route Army, attacking from the border of Hetao Province, aimed directly at the Mauryan Empire.

The expedition included three legions of the Longxiang Army and four legions of the Praetorian Guard, a total of seven legions, with a total strength of 350,000, just half of the Northern Route Army.

Wu Qi, commander of the Nanyang Theater, served as the commander of the Western Route Army, Huo Quai, commander of the Praetorian Guard, served as the left deputy general, and Zhang Han, commander of the Long Xiang Army, served as the right deputy general.

The logistics of the Western Route Army is naturally in charge of the logistics support center of the Nanyang Theater.

The Southern Route Army, attacking from the South Sea Sea, pointed directly at the Gupta Dynasty.

The troops sent out included three corps of the Southern Xinjiang Army and three formations of the Indian Ocean Fleet, with a total strength of about 210,000, which was the smallest number of troops among the three major armies.

Fan Lihua, the commander of the Southern Xinjiang Army, and the Admiral of the Indian Ocean Fleet, each of them are in charge of each other, and they do not have jurisdiction over each other. The logistics of the Southern Route Army is also in charge of the Logistics Support Center of the Nanyang Theater.

The total strength of the three-way army exceeded 1.25 million, including 24 field corps, spread across the four major theaters.

This was a military operation involving the widest range and the largest number of legions dispatched after Great Xia adjusted the army establishment, which shows that Ouyang Shuo is bound to win this battle.

On the surface, Great Xia is an all-out attack, wanting to defeat the three major dynasties of Tianzhu in one fell swoop.

This is, of course, unrealistic.

Even if the internal friction of the three major dynasties of Tianzhu is serious, the total number of troops is more than three million, approaching the four million mark, and temporary conscription can be carried out if necessary.

In addition, Tianzhu District is vast and has a large number of players, which is so easy to bully.

Otherwise, the Peacock King and Gupta King would not be so fearless.

This arrangement of the Military Aircraft Department was carefully considered and built on the basis of detailed intelligence, and the main person in charge was none other than the poisoner Jia Xu.

Through several large-scale efforts, Jia Xu established a great reputation in the whole army as early as possible, and then won the position of chief military advisor. After announcing the composition of the three-way army on behalf of the Military Aircraft Department, Jia Xu elaborated on the overall strategy.

Jia Xu first introduced the geographical environment of Tianzhu District, "After several rounds of expansion, Tianzhu District has exclusive access to the entire South Asian subcontinent, with the tall Himalayas and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on the north side, bordering the imperial Xikang Province; To the northwest is the Hindu Kush Mountains-Iranian Plateau, bordering the Persian Empire; To the east, it is separated by mountains from the Indochina Peninsula, that is, the Hetao Province and the Heluo Province in the southern part of the empire; The south side is surrounded by the ocean. As a result, a relatively independent and closed subcontinental plate is formed, and the geographical location is relatively superior. ”

"In addition, Tianzhu is located between the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean, and there are abundant water resources, so that this land has two major river basins, the Indus River and the Ganges River, which support a huge population."

"Specifically, the Ashoka dynasty occupied the richest land in the Indus Valley and the Ganges Plain, and thus was the strongest of the three dynasties."

"The Mauryan Empire, which occupied the Ganges Delta region, was also very rich, and thus second only to the Ashoka Dynasty in strength, and slightly higher than the Gupta Dynasty."

"In contrast, although the Gupta dynasty monopolized the southern part of Tianzhu, the territory was dominated by the hilly Deccan Plateau, which extended south into the Indian Ocean."

"The geographical pattern, to a certain extent, determines the fate of the three major dynasties." Jia Xu concluded.

The generals present listened and thought thoughtfully.

"The combat plan formulated by the Military Aircraft Department is based on the above geopolitical judgment." Jia Xu then began to explain the combat intentions, "The Gupta Dynasty in the south is the weakest, and its jurisdiction is mainly mountainous, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is designated as the last target for attack. ”

"So, the Southern Route Army is just a feint?" The fireworks demon asked.

"Not bad!" Jia Xu nodded, "The duty of the Southern Route Army is to be responsible for drawing the energy of the Gupta Dynasty so that it cannot reinforce the Mauryan Dynasty. ”
