In Gaia's nine-year chaotic war, the most weird thing was the European battlefield.
Until mid-April, the whole of Europe was still peaceful, and there seemed to be no signs of war breaking out again, which is really unreasonable.
Ouyang Shuo even wondered whether the European dynasties were going to strike.
Of course, this is impossible.
According to the information from the Black Snake Guard, the European dynasties stopped fighting for no other reason than to finish the spring plowing first. Last year's series of wars, the granaries of the dynasties were almost exhausted, so they naturally paid more attention to this year's spring plowing.
The six dynasties have rarely formed a tacit understanding.
When Ouyang Shuo got the news, he shook his head amusedly. Europeans really have a "gentlemanly demeanor". They seem to be tall, but in fact they have schemes in their bones.
He wants to see where the war in Europe will eventually go.
…
On April 20th, the capital.
The Tianzhu War has lasted for more than a month, and the momentum is still unabated. The two sides fought fiercely, and the frontline battlefield was completely turned into a meat grinder. There were a lot of casualties at every moment.
The result of internal friction is that Tianzhu District is declining day by day.
Both the Peacock King and the Gupta King are actually aware of this, but the war has been fought so far, they are beyond their control and must win.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain to the subjects.
What's more, they are quite confident, confident that with the overall strength of Tianzhu District, even if there is internal friction, they are not afraid of provocations from outsiders, including the mighty Daxia.
Unfortunately, they are overconfident.
Daxia, a fierce tiger, has been eyeing Tianzhu all the time.
Imperial Palace, first meeting room.
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.
Those present at the joint meeting included Jia Xu, a scholar of the Minister of Finance and Chief Military Advisor of the Military Aircraft Division, Du Ruhui, Minister of Military Affairs, Yan Huo, the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, Huo Qubing, the commander of the Imperial Guard, Wang Jian, the commander of the West Asia theater, Li Jing, the commander of the South Asia theater, and Wu Qi, the commander of the Nanyang theater. Involving four major theaters, the lineup is very luxurious.
This meeting can be regarded as a war preparation meeting, and it is not really about going to war against Tianzhu immediately.
With the sharp increase in transmission costs, it is no longer advisable to directly transmit the army to the front line. To mobilize the forces of the four major theaters, they must be deployed at least one month in advance.
After research by the Military Aircraft Department, it was decided to divide the army attacking Tianzhu into three groups.
The Northern Route Army launched an attack from the border of Xikang Province, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Ashoka Dynasty. The expeditionary troops included the two major armies of the South Asian Theater, and the four legions of the West Asian Army stationed in the West Sea Province.
A total of 14 legions, with a total strength of 700,000 troops.
Li Jing, the commander of the South Asia theater, served as the commander of the North Route Army, Zuo Zongtang, the commander of the Yingyang Army, served as the left deputy general, Hou Junji, the commander of the West Asian Army, served as the right deputy general, and Ran Min, the commander of the South Asia Army, served as the vanguard officer.
That is to say, the North Route Army will be divided into three routes in detail.
The logistics support center of the South Asia theater is fully responsible for the logistics of the Northern Route Army. When necessary, the logistics support center of the West Asia theater will provide logistical support.
The West Route Army launched an attack from the border of Hetao Province, and the troops were directed at the Maurya Dynasty.
The expeditionary troops included three legions of the Longxiang Army and four legions of the Imperial Guard, a total of seven legions, with a total strength of 350,000, which was exactly half of the North Route Army.
Wu Qi, the commander of the Nanyang Theater, served as the commander of the West Route Army, Huo Qubing, the commander of the Imperial Guard Army, served as the left deputy general, and Zhang Han, the commander of the Longxiang Army, served as the right deputy general.
The logistics of the West Route Army is naturally in the charge of the logistics support center of the Nanyang Theater.
The South Route Army launched an attack from the Nanyang sea, and the front of the troops was directed at the Gupta Dynasty.
The expeditionary troops included three legions of the Southern Border Army and three formations of the Indian Ocean Fleet, with a total strength of around 210,000, which was the least powerful of the three armies.
Fan Lihua, the commander of the Southern Border Army, and Yan Huo, the admiral of the Indian Ocean Fleet, are in charge of each other, but not each other. The logistics support center of the Nanyang Theater is also responsible for the logistics of the South Route Army.
The total strength of the three armies exceeds 1.25 million, including 24 field legions, all over the four war zones.
This is a military operation involving the widest range and the largest number of legions after Daxia adjusted the army structure, which shows that Ouyang Shuo is bound to win this battle.
On the surface, it seems that Daxia is attacking in an all-round way, trying to defeat the three major dynasties of Tianzhu in one fell swoop.
This is of course unrealistic.
Even if the three major dynasties of Tianzhu have serious internal conflicts, the total force will exceed 3 million, approaching the 4 million mark, and they can temporarily recruit troops if necessary.
Coupled with the vast territory of Tianzhu District and the large number of players, how can it be so easy to bully.
Otherwise, King Peacock and King Gupta would not be so confident.
The arrangement of the Military Aircraft Department was carefully considered and based on detailed information. The main operator was the poisonous Jia Xu.
Through several large-scale efforts, Jia Xu has established a great reputation in the whole army, and then won the position of chief military adviser. 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 exclusively enjoys the entire South Asian subcontinent, with the tall Himalayas and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on the north side, bordering the Xikang Province of the Empire; the Hindu Kush in the northwest. Mountains - the Iranian plateau, bordering the Persian Empire; the east is separated by mountains from the Indochina Peninsula, which is the Hetao and Heluo provinces in the southern border of the empire; the south is surrounded by the ocean. This forms a relatively independent and relatively closed The subcontinental plate has a relatively superior geographical location."
"In addition, Tianzhu is located between the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean, with abundant water resources, so that this land has two major river basins, the Indus River and the Ganges River, which feed a huge population."
"Specifically speaking, the Ashoka Dynasty exclusively enjoyed the Indus River Basin and the Ganges Plain, occupying the most fertile land, so its strength is also the strongest among the three dynasties."
"The Mauryan Dynasty occupied the Ganges Delta area and was also very rich, so its strength was second only to the Ashoka Dynasty and slightly higher than the Gupta Dynasty."
"In contrast, although the Gupta Dynasty monopolized the southern part of Tianzhu, the Deccan Plateau, which is dominated by hills, extends southward into the Indian Ocean."
"The geopolitical structure, to a certain extent, determines the fate of the three dynasties." Jia Xu concluded.
All the generals here are thoughtful after listening.
"The combat plan formulated by the Military Aircraft Department is based on the above geographical judgments." Jia Xu then began to explain the combat intention, "The Gupta Dynasty in the south is the weakest, and its jurisdiction is mainly mountainous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is delineated as the last A target."
"So, the South Route Army is just a feint attack?" Yanhuo asked.
"That's right!" Jia Xu nodded, "The Southern Route Army's duty is to drag the energy of the Gupta Dynasty so that it cannot reinforce the Maurya Dynasty."
