Chapter 450 Allied Forces Going Southward
On August 12th, Tianshuang County.
In the hall, [SAARC] members are discussing matters.
"Leader, the first batch of grain and grass has been shipped to Tianshuang County. Should we continue to wait for the grain and grass, or?"
"What do you guys think?"
He Fu did not answer directly, but looked at the allies. Although He Fu already had calculations in his mind, he didn't want to give his allies a bad impression of being arbitrary and authoritarian.
A few days ago, he acted arbitrarily once, and it is really inappropriate for him to exercise power again.
"I think it would be better to wait until the food and grass are raised in place, and then go all out."
This is the solemn lord.
"I don't agree. The Allied forces took Tianshuang County with a thunderbolt method. At this time, they should go all the way and go south immediately to seek a decisive battle."
This is a radical lord, his voice must be a little higher, and the moment he finished speaking, he won a round of applause.
"well said!"
Sure enough, wherever you go, there are still many blood factions.
"The current food and grass can only last for a week. What should we do if we run out of food? Once the 200,000 army is dispatched, there will be no turning back. Naturally, we should be cautious."
Moderates are unhurried and sincere in their words.
"It makes sense, don't be reckless." There was another burst of applause, these guys, do you still have a stand?
"This is not recklessness. Blindly seeking stability will only delay the opportunity of the battle. The army of Shanhai City is definitely not Yi Yi's generation. It is reported that the commander of the enemy army is a murderer. The people of the Song family have escaped again. Now, they must have known Tianshuang The county has been captured. If we wait any longer, it may be too late if the other party has already prepared a countermeasure."
After tracking the Song family's three thousand cavalry, they returned to Tianshuang County that night.
Needless to say, naturally nothing was gained.
At this moment, the members of the Song family may have arrived at the headquarters of the Shanhai City army.
The atmosphere in the hall was quiet.
Whether it is the conservative faction or the passionate faction, they all frowned and thought, with dignified expressions.
The name of the God of Killing Baiqi is really frightening.
In the Battle of Changping, the Battle of Lianzhou, the Battle of Leizhou, and the Battle of Julu, in the four battles, Bai Qi was the absolute protagonist, the commander of an army.
The name of Killing God has already been spread in China.
Facing this invincible killing god, no one has the confidence. Even if the allied army is several times, or even ten times that of Shanhai City's army, no one dares to say that they are fully confident.
From this point of view, the road of prudence, which seems safe, is actually a dead end. The golden mean, sometimes, is just a narrow path.
"Attack!"
...
"Attack!"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively, and the voices of calling for battle could be heard endlessly.
In the end, the [SAARC] members reached a consensus that they must attack, and fight slow with the fast.
Seeing this, He Fu smiled slightly, and said: "In this case, the army will repair for a day and prepare all the supplies. In the early morning of tomorrow, the whole army will leave the camp and go south."
"promise!"
The members responded with a bang, thinking of the upcoming battle, they were both scared and excited.
After the discussion was over, the entire Tianshuang County became lively.
In addition to the 200,000 allied troops stationed in Tianshuang County, over the past few days, a dozen lords from the northern part of Zhaoqing County have also brought their troops to Tianshuang County, either through the teleportation array or directly on their way.
According to the final statistics, the coalition forces in Zhaoqing County alone amounted to 100,000.
Unlike the members of the [Southern League], the lords of Zhaoqing County almost came out in full force. They are too clear that this battle is only allowed to win, not to lose.
Once it fails, no matter how many troops are left in the territory, it will not help.
Instead of that, it's better to give it a go.
Therefore, there are 300,000 troops stationed in the small Tianshuang County. The military barracks in the city are already overcrowded. The armies from all walks of life simply set up camp outside the city.
Tents one after another render the suburbs of the city white, which is truly spectacular.
Inside and outside the city, in the streets and alleys, there are strong soldiers wearing armor and armed with long spears everywhere. The people in the city, except the old and the weak, women and children, were basically conscripted into the grain transportation team to deliver food and grass for the army.
On the official road leading to Tianshuang County, there was an endless stream of carriages transporting grain, with no end in sight. In order to speed up the progress, the grain transportation officer responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass will not be stingy with the whip in his hand.
The granary in the city was cleaned out again, and it was filled with white rice again.
With the order of the war, the whole city came to life.
The soldiers who were still wandering outside received the order and returned to the team one after another to report to their respective camps. The teams delivering food, grass, arrows and other materials have already started to set off without waiting until tomorrow.
He Fo is fully equipped with 30,000 troops, stationed in Tianshuang County, responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass. He knew too well what would happen to the allied forces once the food and grass were robbed.
Although it seems that all the lords in the northern part of Zhaoqing County have come to gather. But with He Fu's suspicious character, he was still a little worried. Among the lords, if one lord turned against the water and secretly took refuge in Shanhai City, it would be a nightmare for the allied forces.
Think about how Tianshuang County was captured? !
He Fu is not sure whether Shanhai City will repay him with his way.
Therefore, he must be on guard.
The key alert target is naturally Tianshuang County, the general logistics base of the Allied Forces. In addition, all major territories in Zhaoqing County are also on guard.
The only thing that made Wo Fu feel uneasy was that the lord of Zhaoqing County basically took out all the field troops in the territory, and the rest were city defense troops or simply reserve troops.
If Shanhai City is really about to sneak attack, the territories may not be able to resist it.
The problem is that on the one hand, He Fu could not refuse the kindness of the lords, and on the other hand, he could not refuse the 100,000 troops. To be honest, with only 200,000 allied troops, He Fu did not have much confidence.
But with the addition of 100,000 coalition troops, the situation is completely different.
He Fu has this self-confidence. He doesn't believe in a big battle with Shanhai City. His own army is ten times stronger than the enemy's. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, he can still fail? !
At night, He Fu tossed and turned, thinking about how to deal with the Shanhai City army suddenly appearing in the northern part of Zhaoqing County.
He Fu didn't sleep well all night.
Waking up in the morning, He Fu washed his face with cold water under his dark circles, and finally made up his mind.
He decided to deploy 25,000 elite cavalry from the coalition army and the coalition army to form 50,000 cavalry, responsible for patrolling the northern part of Zhaoqing County and defending the rear.
In the morning, members of the [SAARC] and the lord of the coalition had a final routine meeting.
At the meeting, Wo Fu laid out his concerns. Some people disagree with He Fu's proposal, while others are extremely moved.
The first to express their support were naturally the lords of Zhaoqing County.
To be honest, they were all worried about this campaign. The battle of Leizhou, the lords of Leizhou County, didn't they fight with all their strength, and the old nest was taken away by the army of Shanhai City?
They felt at ease with an iron cavalry patrolling.
Seeing this, [SAARC] members could not object directly, so the matter was settled like this.
In this way, excluding the 30,000 defenders and 50,000 cavalry in Tianshuang County, the actual army that went out was only 220,000. Even so, it is an incomparably huge number.
The 220,000 troops naturally cannot break out of the camp together.
Fifty thousand cavalry, as the vanguard, set off first; in the middle, the central army composed of 100,000 troops; finally, a mixed army of 70,000 infantry and cavalry, as the rear army, was also responsible for escorting food and grass.
The mighty army left Tianshuang County, like a black dragon, meandering southward.
A monstrous battle has begun.
As soon as the army set off, the Black Snake Guard's intelligence station stationed in Tianshuang County received news that an unremarkable hummingbird rose into the sky and disappeared into the blue sky.
The allied forces occupied Tianshuang County, so naturally they had to clear it up. The Four Seas Bank is the key object of care.
Today is different from the past. Today's Four Seas Bank is not only well-known within the [Shanhai League], but also the entire China region. Anyone with a little heart knows the existence of the Four Seas Bank.
He Fu and the others are no exception.
Regarding how to deal with the Four Seas Bank, [SAARC] had internal disagreements.
The reason is that the entire Four Seas Bank was searched, but not a single copper coin was found. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the funds of the Four Seas Bank must have been taken away by the Song family.
Apart from one building, those who stayed in Tianshuang County were a shopkeeper and more than 20 assistants.
According to Ruan Ping's intention, it was natural to kill him cleanly to vent his ruthlessness. There are also some lords in Zhaoqing County who hold the same view.
But He Fu had a different opinion. In his opinion, beheading the shopkeeper and the buddies to vent their anger was too low-key and harmful.
Killing a few guys is really nothing to Shanhai City. If we really want to talk about losses, I guess it's just embarrassing.
Ruan Ping's intention was precisely this.
But what about after venting your anger? All that's left is endless trouble, big trouble.
He Fu still has self-knowledge. He knows very well that even if the Allied forces win this battle, they will not be able to shake the foundation of Shanhai City. Lianzhou County, the base camp of Shanhai City, including Qiongzhou County, is still as stable as Mount Tai.
No one would be so arrogant that if they were able to fight, they would beat the world's number one lord to the ground.
Therefore, Wo Fu must consider the post-war situation. In his opinion, the best outcome is that the two sides negotiate a peace, Shanhai City gives up its attempt on the Lingnan Province, and [Southern League] has no intention of going further.
After all, the structure of the [Southern League] is a Lingnan province.
Therefore, in the future, [Southern Alliance] will inevitably have to deal with Shanhai City.
In the same way, if it is just to vent anger, and completely tear up the face with Shanhaicheng, it is really not worth the loss, and it is not a wise person.
The capture of Tianshuang County is a war, and no one can say what kind of means is used. But you have won, and you want to kill the guys from the bank, which is not authentic.
If it was him, He Fu, he would never tolerate it.
It was based on this consideration that He Fo strongly suppressed the opinions of Ruan Ping and others. He only monitored the Four Seas Bank and did not take any further action.
It has to be said that He Fu's actions saved his life in the future.
