Chapter 50: Wanfeng Mountain Gorge
As Shang Qing's words fell, I saw him raise his hand and point to the tenth of the eastern part of the thin line on the map, and then continued: "The name of this place is Wanfeng Mountain Gorge, located in the southeast of Fengsha Country, and it is also one of my reliance in this battle!"
"Once the battle between the two empires begins, I will immediately abandon the eastern defense line of the entire Fire Feather Province that is further east than the Ruiyu Beast Frontier, and all the soldiers in the border defense area and the city guards in this area will retreat six hundred miles and be stationed in the Wanfeng Mountain Gorge!"
"The terrain of Wanfeng Mountain Gorge is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack! The most important thing is that this place is only one province away from the northernmost part of the southeastern defense line of the Blue Wave Bay Empire in the south of Fengsha! The Bright Empire doesn't know what the Blue Wave Bay Empire thinks, so they must not dare, and they don't have so much time to open up their positions outside the Wanfeng Mountain Gorge to encroach on the defenders of the Mountain Gorge! Therefore, the commander of the Bright Empire's army has only two ways when approaching the Wanfeng Mountain Gorge. Either occupy the Wanfeng Mountain Gorge at all costs, or directly bypass the Wanfeng Mountain Gorge and directly insert it into the belly of the Fengsha Country, and occupy and plunder more cities and resources of the Fengsha Country as quickly as possible!"
"For the onslaught of the Empire of Light, this is exactly what I wanted! Because I have now begun to set traps and build barriers in the Ten Thousand Winds Mountain Gorge. And if the army of the Bright Empire bypasses the Wanfeng Mountain Gorge, then I will connect the defenders of the border defense line of the Cocoon Feather Beast Frontier directly east of the Fengsha Country with the defense army of the Wanfeng Mountain Gorge, forcibly cut off the follow-up supply lines and communication routes of the Bright Empire, a large army that has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Fengsha Country, and send rangers to harass and reverse the rumor that the defense line of the Bright Empire has been defeated by the Blue Wave Bay Empire. ”
"In my guess, the commander of this army that dares to penetrate into the hinterland of Fengsha Country must be at the level of generalissimo, and secondly, it must be a famous general who can rank in the military headquarters of the Bright Empire. Therefore, this kind of harassment and message shock may not be effective, and such a boss will definitely not be stupid enough to divide half or part of his troops to open up supply lines! At most, he will send more scouts to penetrate our message blockade area to keep the message flowing! And this is what I want them to do, because ten days later, the defense line of the Empire of Light will definitely usher in the most ferocious offensive of the Blue Wave Bay Empire, so at this time, if I cooperate with the offensive of the Blue Wave Bay Empire, follow the route of the army of the Bright Empire, and launch an attack on the border defense line of the Bright Empire! In this way, the commander of the army who has entered the hinterland of Fengsha Country who has broken through our blockade line and obtained a little bit of information will definitely have a sense of crisis, so that the squad will come to the rescue!"
"Gather all the border guards on the border of Robin Country?" Hearing Shang Qing's crazy plan, Pang Zhenchen suddenly frowned and asked, "If you transfer all the border guards of Robin Country and Madascar, aren't you afraid of their sneak attack?"
In response to Pang Zhenchen's question, Shang Qing shook his head slightly and said, "It's hard for me to guess whether these two countries will suddenly attack! What I know is that once the big war starts, Robin's side will definitely be under pressure from Lanbo Bay! Although Lanbo Bay will definitely not launch an invasion of Robin Country before breaking through the defense area of the Bright Empire, just a threat is enough for Robin to suffer!" In other words, with the military strength of Robin and Madascar, even if they send troops to attack Fengsha, their attack will only be a temptation, so even if they are given twenty days, the damage they will do to Fengsha will not be greater than the damage caused by the army of the Bright Empire! And for me, the troops of these two countries are what I want to see, because when the army of the Bright Empire retreats, and after I reorganize the army of Fengsha, I will have an excuse to move north!"
Hearing that Shang Qing already had a belly case, Pang Zhenchen naturally just nodded, and then asked, "Then have you estimated how much damage it will cause to Fengsha if you let the army of the Bright Empire enter the hinterland of Fengsha Country like this?"
"There are twenty cities, even including the national capital Fengsha, and the people's words are about fifty million and three million city guards!" Shang Qing said without blinking his eyes, "This is my estimate of the loss, if the city is broken, the people can keep a low profile, then the loss will be less, what I am afraid is that the people of these cities will resist, in this case, this casualty will increase!" And I can't let Feng Xinyi order the people to temporarily accept the humiliation of breaking the city, once this happens, it will definitely make the resistance of each city weaken, or even surrender directly! In this way, the loss of Fengsha Kingdom will be even greater!"
"Is it only twenty cities?" Hearing Shang Qing's words, Pang Zhenchen was a little surprised!
"Yes, twenty cities!" Twenty cities was already the limit of what they could occupy based on the marching speed of the Imperial army, Shang Qing said exactly.
"Won't they divide their armies?" asked Pang Zhenchen
"Yes, they will definitely divide the army!" Hearing Pang Zhenchen's question, Shang Qing gave an answer without the slightest hesitation, but the next words were full of domineering, "But I will make them dare not divide the army!"
"The reason why I don't use the strength of the whole country to meet this army of the Empire of Light, because I guess that the number of this army is about eight million to ten million, and it is impossible to have more, and the army of ten million has reached one-tenth of the strength of the entire Empire of Light! And even if the Fengsha Kingdom pours out the country's soldiers, it is only about 10 million, and the gap in individual combat power between the soldiers of the Fengsha Kingdom and the Bright Empire is too large, so even if I use tactics to win this battle, it will definitely be a crushing victory, and such a tragic victory will definitely doom the Fengsha Kingdom to be destroyed on this continent that has just started the war. Therefore, I would rather give up twenty cities and tens of millions of people, and never fight with this army of the Bright Empire without a geographical advantage, but if the commander of this Bright Empire dares to underestimate Fengsha and divide his troops to seize the city, then I am sure that this commander will regret it!"
Pang Zhenchen never doubted Shang Qing's military talent, since he said that he would make the other party regret it, then he would definitely make the other party regret it, so Pang Zhenchen did not dwell on the damage caused by this army, but pointed to the east and southeast of the territory of Fengsha Country after a slight groan: "Then what if the Bright Empire does not attack along the line you said, but attacks from the border defense line of the Cursed Feather Province in the northeast of this Fengsha Country or the border defense line of the Cocoon Feather Beast Frontier in the east?"
After listening to Pang Zhenchen's question this time, Shang Qing's face once again showed a wry smile and said: "Then there is no way! No matter where the Bright Empire attacks from these two places, it will be a battle to the death! Before the war, I will gather the seven central armies, as well as the border guards of the Blue Wave Bay Empire, the Robin Kingdom, and a part of the Madasga Kingdom!" After speaking, Shang Qing pointed to the north of the Wanfeng Mountain Gorge, which is about the actual distance of four thousand miles away, and then continued, " Not only is this place the same distance from the weakest fulcrum of the two defense zones, but most importantly, it is also the same distance from the starting point on the right side of the thin line I have drawn!"
"Although this is a battle to the death, it is entirely because the level of the generals of the Fengsha Kingdom is too poor, so this situation has been caused! If I can have a few more generals of the Qi level on hand now, then even if the Bright Empire attacks from the weakest fulcrum of the above two defense lines, then I will have the strength to fight, after all, I still have the advantage of geographical advantage! But even so, when the battle horn sounds, as long as Qi Qi can perfectly implement my tactics, then I have a seventy percent certainty that I can hold on for twenty days, and the loss of the army will not exceed forty percent!"
"Oh" Pang Zhenchen, who heard this, suddenly his eyes lit up
And at the same time, Qi Qi in Pang Zhenchen and Shang Qing's mouth stepped into a military camp in Fengsha Country under the guidance of dozens of cavalry guards.
On the school grounds of the barracks, there are thousands of soldiers wearing uniform uniforms! Although this formation is lined up, it is silent, but at first glance, it looks like an upside-down onion, good and bad formation, and anyone can see that this is a group of new soldiers!
