Chapter 359 Confrontation between the two armies

"Hehe!" Du Long responded with a smile: "Father, don't worry, let's just let all the more than two million troops of the Blue Moon Empire cross the river! It happened to be solved at once on the north bank of the river! It saves us having to cross the river to attack. When we enter the capital of the Blue Moon Empire and encounter these large armies, our logistics supply line will be tight!"

"So! The Marshal deliberately let all the Blue Moon Empire's army cross the Hansi River so that he could catch them all?!" The Prairie King's eyes lit up and he stared at Du Long with piercing eyes.

"That's right! Otherwise, it won't be enough to deal a fatal blow to the Blue Moon Empire. We can't easily liberate the entire Blue Moon Empire and liberate the tens of thousands of slaves who are suffering from the Blue Moon Empire!" Du Long Dayi said stunnedly. replied.

Buzz!

The generals below immediately started talking. They never expected that just when they were thinking about how to resist the Blue Moon Empire's more than two million troops, their own general was thinking about how to counter-invade the other side's hinterland and even the capital? !

. . . . . .

Hansi City, the city lord’s mansion!

At this moment, the former Hansi City Lord's Mansion has become the general headquarters of the three armies of the Blue Moon Empire. In order to win the war as much as possible, the Blue Moon Empire has sent out half of its very experienced staff team to directly provide the commander-in-chief with the most professional staff. Serve!

The so-called staff service actually functions as a think tank, considering various issues that the coaches have not considered, and providing the most correct suggestions for the coaches to choose!

In the reception hall of the city lord's palace, three commanders were sitting high on the throne, with dozens of generals of all ranks sitting on both sides. Downstairs, several generals of the staff were reporting on their work!

"Reporting to the three marshals! All the 2.7 million troops in our three theaters have crossed the Hansi River. Among them, the three armies in the southeast theater, totaling 600,000, have arrived safely in the Hexi Corridor without any obstruction during this period! All the warships on the Si River have begun to transport grain and supplies across the river!" the chief of the staff group introduced in a formulaic manner.

"Have you figured out the details of the Haotian Empire's main army?!" Jin Yanri asked in a deep voice from the head coach's position. What he was most concerned about now was what the hell was the Haotian Empire doing? There was no movement? !

"The Western Route Army of the Haotian Empire consists of the 1st and 2nd Guide Corps, a total of 400,000, 600,000 grassland cavalry, and 200,000 Zhongwu Corps, a total of 1.2 million troops, all stationed in the Qingyun Grassland at the Holy City of Hasam. Outside, it seems that they are waiting for our army to go to the battle and have been holding back!" the chief of staff simply replied.

"Oh?! They are still standing still?! What on earth is the commander-in-chief of the Haotian Empire, Du Long, doing?!" Jin Yanri was surprised, and then changed the subject: "What's going on in the direction of the Haoyue Kingdom?! What's going on in the Haotian Empire? What’s going on with the Central Army here?!”

"Report to the marshal! The Haotian Middle Road army has been stationed at the east exit of the Hexi Corridor. There is no intention to attack the Hexi Corridor yet!"

"Weird! Why do I feel that Haotian Empire's reaction is so weird?! Logically speaking, they should let the army from the direction of Haoyue Kingdom attack the Hexi Corridor with all their strength at this time, and rush to Qingyun Grassland for reinforcements!" Jin Yanri was once again unable to do so! Explain.

Afterwards, he could only look at the chief of staff helplessly and said: "Do you have any information about the rear of Haotian Chilong Gorge? Are there any signs of new reinforcements in Haotian going south to reinforce Qingyun Grassland?!"

"According to intelligence from within the Haotian Empire, their army has no signs of going south for reinforcements yet, and they are all on standby at their original station!"

Scratching his head, Jin Yanri felt a little confused and could only continue to ask: "Has your staff predicted what the Haotian Empire will do next?! It doesn't matter if you make more guesses. At least it will give us a clue. OK!"

"Report to the Marshal! According to our analysis, the Haotian Empire's strange response method is far from the normal way of arranging troops. It stands to reason that we have had relatively obvious defense flaws in several periods of time, but They completely ignored it, which is a bit unreasonable!”

"With limited intelligence resources, it is impossible to predict what the Haotian Empire will do next, or what conspiracy they have!" The head of the staff stated the opinions of the staff unceremoniously. come out.

"Holy crap! I said it, but I didn't say it!" Jin Yanri said rudely on the spot: "Then what should we do next?! Give me some constructive suggestions!"

"Our suggestion is to continue to implement the combat deployment issued by the Military Aircraft Department. First, replenish enough food and grass for the Hexi Corridor area! Secondly, after the supplies are replenished, the main force of our army will immediately advance towards Hasam City in Qingyun Grassland and launch a general offensive. Before, let’s take a look at the movements of the Haotian Empire’s main army! Only with enough intelligence resources can we analyze what to do next!”

"Understood! You go down! Remember, do your best to urge the grain and grass supplies from the rear to be delivered as soon as possible. Within three days, all supplies must be delivered to the location. After three days, the entire army will be dispatched. The target is Hassam City!" Coach Jin Yanri made a decision immediately.

"I obey!" After accepting the order, the chief of staff turned and left, returning to the huge courtyard of the city lord's palace. At this moment, this courtyard has become the residence of the staff group, and a large number of elite staff members are constantly The ground is busy.

From time to time, I receive the latest battle reports from monsters and birds. Every piece of latest information will be reviewed by the chief officer in charge, and then depending on the importance of the information, it will be selectively reported to the highest officer!

In addition to intelligence processing, this staff department also continuously issues various instructions to the outside world, including the allocation of materials, the dispatch of soldiers, etc.!

In short, this half of the staff team of the Blue Moon Empire is indeed very professional. With them here, they are definitely a huge threat to Du Long. If he is not careful, he will be seized by others and kill him with one blow!

It was precisely because of the existence of this staff group that Jin Yanri and others could not lie about their military achievements. After they captured Hansi City, they wanted to ask for credit from above.

As a result, there was only one reply that said "Good performance, keep up the hard work, let's celebrate together!"

Time passed, and the three-day period passed in a blink of an eye. After some rest and recuperation in Hansi City, the 2.1 million army left 100,000 to defend the city, and the rest all attacked, advancing towards Hasam City in Qingyun Grassland!

The city of Hans is at least hundreds of miles away from the city of Hassam. The Blue Moon Empire army advanced northwestward with twenty square formations of one hundred thousand, and it took two full days to reach the city of Hassam. Twenty miles away from the army station, they began to set up camp and settled down!

In this regard, the 1.2 million army led by Du Long turned a blind eye and allowed this tired army to be stationed under his nose. He had no intention of directly confronting others with 2 million with 1.2 million!

Even if such a large army wins, I'm afraid there won't be many subordinates left, not to mention that in such a decisive battle, the side with more people usually has a greater chance of winning!

There was no need to leave the camp to check. As long as Du Long closed his eyes, he could see the enemy army covering a large grassland twenty miles away. The beauty of the Ring Spirit had already transferred the image of the opponent to his mind.

‘Du Long! see it? ! Next to every regular army of the Blue Moon Empire, there is a slave legionnaire in relatively thin clothing! In order to deal with our method of conquering the slave army, the people of the Blue Moon Empire came up with a very stupid but very effective method! ’ In my mind, the Nazgul beauty introduced with a smile.

It has long been known from the intelligence collected by the Shadow Guard that in order to solve the problem of insufficient soldiers, the Blue Moon Empire not only used a large number of slave legions to escort supplies in the rear, but also selected more than one million strong slave soldiers and directly abolished them. Their slave status and let them join the regular army!

In order to supervise these slave legion soldiers, the Blue Moon Empire came up with a stupid way, which is to use man-to-man method, let the soldiers who have been released from slave status join the regular legion, disperse them to the grassroots level, and let each regular army monitor a slave soldier separately. If they show signs of rebellion, they can be executed on the spot!

According to the Blue Moon Empire's thinking, as long as Du Long doesn't have a slave army leader who can persuade him to rebel, he has no way to instigate those slave soldiers to rebel!

After all, with the temptation of being released from slavery, it is estimated that not many slave soldiers would be willing to follow Du Long, right? !

Therefore, relying on this method, the Blue Moon Empire collected an army of 1.2 million slaves in a short period of time, plus the 1.2 million main army that the Blue Moon Empire pieced together, plus 300,000 newly formed recruits. !

The Blue Moon Empire managed to piece together an army with a total force of 2.7 million. This shows how terrifying the war potential of the Blue Moon Empire is!

'well! The Blue Moon Empire’s approach of carrot and stick really works, but it’s very detrimental to us! So, once someone learns about any clever strategy, there will always be a way to crack it! ’ Du Long could only sigh secretly.

‘I don’t think so! ’ The Nazgûl beauty responded sweetly with a sly smile.

'oh? ! Ling'er, do you have a way to crack the Blue Moon Empire's countermeasures? ! ’ Du Long’s eyes lit up.

'nonsense. . . This is all we need. . . ’ The beauty of the Ring Spirit began to give Du Long instructions. She had always given him all kinds of fantastic ideas. Otherwise, how could Du Long have the intelligence to be able to easily serve as the commander-in-chief of a great empire?

After listening to the arrangement of the Ringwraith Beauty, Du Long's eyes became brighter. He understood very well that the arrangement of the Ringwraith Beauty was definitely very effective, and it would definitely be enough to feed the two million troops on the opposite side!

Just as Du Long was plotting with the Nazgul Beauty, the Blue Moon Empire's two million troops began to set up camp and start cooking. Amidst the curls of smoke, the sky began to darken, and they seemed to be in no rush to launch an attack. !

After having dinner in batches, the soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire took turns sleeping in batches, with half sleeping and the other half on guard. They waited until midnight and then rotated again. Obviously, they were worried that the Haotian Empire might launch an attack at night. !

However, their vigilance was obviously unnecessary. After struggling all night, except for the two million soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire who were mentally exhausted, they did not encounter any attacks at all!

The Haotian Empire army twenty miles away made no movement at all. It was as if they were friendly neighbors, and they were at peace with themselves!

The next day, the commander-in-chief of the Blue Moon Empire army did not launch any offensive on the grounds that the soldiers had been traveling for days and had not slept well all night, but continued to let the army rest!

Of course, while the army is resting, the scout horses cannot be idle. The scout horses between the two sides come and go, and they will encounter each other from time to time during the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance process, and then there will be small-scale battles!

This kind of negligible loss didn't matter to the Blue Moon Empire at all. However, they met Du Long, a commander who cared very much about the lives of his soldiers!

Therefore, the Tanma sent by Haotian are all experts. As a result, in the Tanma encounter, the ones who are seriously injured are often the Blue Moon Empire's side!
