Therefore, Shu Han decided to encircle but not fight, and encircled the point to send reinforcements as a strategy, and made arrangements, anyway, with the shipping capacity of the current survival alliance, it can completely ensure the food supply of the army, and at the same time arrange for hundreds of thousands of people to enter the vast plain on the south bank of the Yangtze River to start farming, in order to help the military supply in the future.

In the face of the Holy Alliance's strong wall and clear wilderness, the Survival Alliance's side responded with a siege point as a strategy, which naturally made Qiao Xuan very uncomfortable, but with his cleverness, he had obviously already thought that the Survival Alliance might not directly hit this wall, and the reason why he still did it was just to delay a little time.

According to the food in the southern border cities of the Holy Alliance, it can barely last for about three months, and if those people outside the village are excluded, it can last for about half a year, which is completely enough for Qiao Xuan, so he did not lead his main force to return to help immediately, and he also understands that going back at this time has no effect, fighting in the field, the weapons mastered by the Survival Alliance are much more advanced than them.

Therefore, Qiao Xuan decided to give priority to concentrating superior firepower, taking the lead in eliminating those resisters in the north, with those newly developed nitroglycerin, it was enough to wipe out those resisters, and when he came back, he would lead the army to fight with Shu Han, and by that time, he had already studied the design of the machine gun from the hands of the captives, which was the reason why Qiao Xuan had to delay time.

After a week, Shu Han found that Qiao Xuan did not return to the division, and then he also understood Qiao Xuan's plan, at this time, it was the point where the two sides fought for time, if Qiao Xuan could solve the north within half a year, and at the same time develop machine gun technology, then for Shu Han, it would be an extremely dangerous thing, and if Qiao Xuan did not solve the problem in this half a year, then Shu Han could get these border cities, and at the same time there were rivers leading to tributaries, and now these rivers were all covered by the Holy Alliance with artillery fire, As long as any ship approaches, it will be bombed, and in the face of these batteries, the people of the Survival Alliance cannot get close at all, they are built in the interior of the city, close to the river bank, and the special forces of the Survival Alliance will not have time to get close to be discovered by the enemy, so the passage to the north of the tributary is completely blocked, in this case, the Survival Alliance's naval army has little use.

They have to take these cities, and in the face of this big gamble, Shu Han is obviously unwilling, the population of the Holy Alliance is now weaker than his side, and the key now is the war, as long as he can win the war in advance, then what can not be paid?

Shu Han immediately decided to change his strategy, changing the original siege point reinforcement to a strong attack, this strategy was undoubtedly opposed and questioned internally, in their opinion, this will lose more troops, and at the same time, the speed of advance will be very slow, and at the same time, it will also make the people inside the city feel bad about the survival alliance, why do they do this? As for the attitude of the Skywalkers, they approve of Shu Han's approach, most of the Skywalkers do not care about the lives of these soldiers, according to their ideas, they should have done so, but Shu Han cherishes the soldiers of the army, so he adopted the method of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and this method is indeed likely to succeed, they are naturally willing to obey Shu Han's orders, and now Shu Han wants to change his strategy, they are naturally indispensable.

As for those opposing voices, most of them came from the soldiers at the bottom, in the face of the tall city walls, a tough attack would inevitably cause a lot of deaths, and they were undoubtedly cannon fodder who would be pushed up, in the face of this, they didn't understand why Shu Han suddenly changed his strategy, and even Qiao Xuan didn't understand it.

At that time, the reason why he made the current deployment was because he knew very well that Shu Han was different from himself, he loved his people and soldiers very much, which was different from himself, if faced with such a scenario, Qiao Xuan could guarantee that he would definitely not hesitate to order a strong attack, even if he paid the price of 100,000 or 200,000 people, he must seize the opportunity, not to mention that now the survival alliance has an advantage in population, even if there are more than 100,000 dead and wounded, as long as the strategic victory is achieved, there will be no problem.

But Shu Han would do this, undoubtedly out of Qiao Xuan's expectations, and Shu Han was also facing great pain at this time, as Qiao Xuan said, Shu Han was really unwilling to do this kind of forced breakthrough, such a practice, the casualties were too great, but at this time he had to make this decision, and Qiao Xuan bet, he did not have this confidence that he would be able to win, if he lost at that time, then the confrontation between the two sides was bound to continue, and at that time, he was gone, so whether the survival alliance could still hold on, Shu Han was very skeptical about this.

The reason why today's survival alliance can be united, in the final analysis, Shu Han has a great role, because he is an ordinary person, and has a huge reputation among the people, and at the same time has a good relationship with the Skywalker magnates in various regions, so he is a candidate who can be accepted by both the local and the central, whether it is a commoner or a powerful person, and it is precisely because of him that even though there are contradictions within the survival alliance, they have not erupted, but have made do with each other.

This is completely different from the Holy Alliance, within the Holy Alliance, Qiao Xuan is the de facto emperor, and the internal cohesion is at least no problem in the ruling class, and those who dare to raise objections have already hung on the towers of the Quartet for people to admire.

And within the Survival Alliance, because the forces of all parties have not formed an absolute strength, there are still many problems in the relationship between all aspects, only after the Black Iron City and Joaquin City really absorb those migrated populations into their own system, and when they really recognize themselves as the people of the Black Iron City and Joaquin City, until then, the central government's advantage over the local can be truly established, and the existence of the Survival Alliance can become more solid, and this point, it is impossible to form it without more than ten years.

It can be expected that after he leaves, the survival alliance will inevitably usher in a period of chaos, looking at the entire survival alliance, like himself, he is exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and he is involved with any of the forces, and there are almost no people who can communicate with the bottom and the upper level, in this case, who is the ruling head after that, is completely the result of the struggle between all parties, then this person is bound to fail to satisfy everyone, and the survival alliance will inevitably fall into chaos.

If at that time, there was still the great enemy of the Holy Alliance outside the Survival Alliance, then it was almost certain that the Survival Alliance would be severely tested, and maybe the entire Survival Alliance would be wiped out because of this, which Shu Han absolutely did not want to see.

His friends, his relatives are all on this side of the land, if the survival alliance is destroyed, then there will be no eggs under the nest, so he must finish things before he leaves, he has no way to do internal things, he wants to cultivate a successor, the difficulty is too high, Lin Bida, Zhang Ruoming, Yang Yi, Chang Ke and others, all have their own advantages, but as commanders, they also have their own shortcomings, Zhang Ruoming is too proud, and there is no prestige among the people at the bottom, Lin Bida is unruly, He doesn't like to come into contact with high society, Yang Yi is upright and has a good reputation in the army, but in political circles, he is notoriously unpopular.

As for Chang Ke, he may be the most suitable person to become the head of state, long sleeves and good dancing, eight-faced, and have good cooperation with all forces, but there is a problem, that is, when faced with a decision, he is often very hesitant, he often thinks about a lot of problems, and he will not make a decision before thinking about all the possibilities and measures in all aspects, such a person is suitable for becoming a leader in peacetime, which is undoubtedly the best for the country.

But in the war era, if there is no leader who dares to make a decision, then it is bound to be seized by the enemy between the left and right, and finally lose his life and lose the country, and now, the survival alliance is such a situation, even if the Holy Alliance is defeated, but such a huge force, and has existed for a while, even if he is swallowed up, Qiao Xuan's influence is bound to always have a period of time, and such a huge strength enters the survival alliance, if it is not handled well, it will cause a huge funeral, Even worse situations arise, which require a decisive leader to solve these problems and maintain the stability and peace of the country, which Chang Ke obviously cannot do.

In general, to become a leader of a force, there are too many skills and qualities you need to have, and it is too difficult and difficult to cultivate one, Shu Han tried a few times, but there is really no way, he can only give up, since the internal problems cannot be solved, then before he leaves, solving the internal problems is obviously the only thing Shu Han can do now.

And his time is running out, which is why he finally issued such an order, he cherishes the lives of the soldiers, but he cherishes the people behind him even more, his family, if the Holy Alliance does not suffer huge losses in this war, then in the future, the Survival Alliance will face greater danger, and there are all kinds of internal contradictions, if the Survival Alliance at that time cannot be resisted, then the Holy Alliance will drive straight in, what will happen at that time, Shu Han has seen countless times, And what about your own family?

Shu Han didn't think that Qiao Xuan would treat his family well, I was afraid that after he was caught, he would have to leave this world, and after extreme pain, Qiao Xuan, this is an extremely brutal person, killing and abuse seem to make him feel extremely happy, which is what Shu Han is afraid of, so he decided to change his strategy at this moment, and what Qiao Xuan didn't expect was Shu Han himself.

In Qiao Xuan's opinion, Shu Han obviously still has a job, this year's Shu Han is only twenty-seven years old, compared to Qiao Xuan's fifty years old this year, he is really young, he has more time, in the short term, it is Shu Han who can't afford to wait, but in the long run, it is Qiao Xuan who can't afford to wait, Shu Han can't find his successor, how can Qiao Xuan not be like this, one force, millions of people, who to entrust in the end, Qiao Xuan himself is not clear, and because of this, he will not understand Shu Han's move, But whether he understood it or not, Shu Han's actions had already begun, and from the next day, Shu Han's side began to attack.

In the past, when the city was attacked, the artillery of the Survival League would retreat, but at this time, Shu Han prepared fifteen reserves, which were bound to push the artillery to the predetermined artillery fire point within the firing range, and the person was killed, so he continued to push forward from the reserve, using this method, the artillery was erected on the predetermined artillery point, and then bombarded the city.

The tragedy of this is incomparable, in just one day, the survival alliance side paid 5,000 casualties, but the results are also fruitful, because the siege of a week has made the enemies at the head of the city almost forget that there is an enemy army under their city, so they didn't care too much, and when the survival alliance attacked, they gathered in a panic, so they missed the opportunity, but they were caught off guard, and several batteries were shot down by the cannons of the survival alliance before they could fire, At the same time, two hundred Skywalkers used ropes to climb directly to the top of the city, tearing a hole in the city, allowing the soldiers behind to enter.

The two sides did not rest at all, the war lasted for five days, the survival alliance at the cost of 40,000 people, finally succeeded in capturing the first city on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Shouchun City, Shu Han immediately stationed in this city, and then quickly controlled the Shouchun River, using the water army to go north along the river, and launched an attack on the cities along the way, at this time the nitroglycerin of the Holy Alliance was limited, and it was impossible to equip all the batteries, so some cities inside still used old batteries, where was the opponent of the survival alliance's heavy artillery at this time, a few back and forth, The docks had been completely destroyed and rendered inoperable, after which transport ships arrived and began to attack the cities.

In other cities, the Survival Alliance has also achieved important results, Lin Bida led 50,000 people to attack the seven fortresses, successfully captured the seven fortresses, and obtained control of the important land passage to the north at the cost of 20,000 people, so that the army of the Survival Alliance will be able to attack the enemy by land, this time, the entire Holy Alliance was shaken, at this time, if the army of the Holy Alliance is allowed to enter, then many cities will be threatened by the enemy's soldiers, at this time, The telegram for help entered Qiao Xuan's military tent like a snowflake, forcing him to make a decision immediately.
