Chapter 693 Flesh and Fruit Mill

Alas, I just wrote it. I am afraid that I will not be able to save the manuscript and it is really painful. Please give me some votes to comfort Lao An’s melancholy heart.

In a major battle or a decisive battle, there will inevitably be a supreme commander on the front line.

The Battle of Lia Ce is the three major fronts of the southwest, southeast and northeast, and especially the unification of military orders and the Supreme Commander. The Rule has not announced the Supreme Commander for a long time, which is really a surprise to the outside world.

However, Emperor Lu quietly came to the front line and reached a conclusion for the strategic dispute. The candidate for commander finally came out.

The Marquis of Beilu served as the Supreme Commander, and the Marquis of Wu served as the Deputy Commander. Ye Fangtian took the lead as the Southwest Front, that is, the commander of the Southwest Front. Three generations of famous generals gathered on the battlefield of the rule, and were full of light.

Except for Ye Fangtian, this list is basically not unexpected. Ye Fangtian is the deputy governor and being able to serve as the commander of the Southwest War Zone is obviously promoted by exception. The meaning of Dalu cultivating this generation of generals is very obvious.

The news about the Beilu Marquis and Wu Marquis was like ripples, quietly rippling.

The number one general who has played for three consecutive generations can also show how much Dalu attaches importance to this battle.

Under the reputation of the Marquis of Beilu and Marquis of Wu, many generals of the Beice Army were quite nervous. It is not an exaggeration to say that all the generals who were serving in the world have studied and analyzed several battle examples of these two people.

The only top general recognized as the number one in the nine continents in 500 years, the King of Beilu is too powerful.

However, soon, the Beice General and the outside world gradually discovered and believed that perhaps the Beilu Marquis was old.

The recognized strategy and tactics are all the highest-level Marquis of the Hokuru have performed mediocre since taking office. It cannot be said that he has done nothing. As an ordinary famous general, he is enough. But as the first-ranked general, his performance is obviously too mediocre.

After taking office, the Marquis of Beilu demanded that the southeast and northeast lines should cooperate with the southwest lines to launch a full-line attack.

There is really no performance in offense and defense.

Perhaps it was because of the psychological shock that many generals in Beice personally experienced this huge gap, and their fear quickly turned into contempt.

So what about the Beilu Marquis? He is old. Now is not his era, but our era.

Wang Ce realized the thoughts of his generals and scolded them twice. Many generals were slightly restrained, but they still felt a little contempt. So Wang Ce was too lazy to pay attention to it.

"What are you doing on the other side?"

Similarly, this was Wang Ce’s little doubt. The Marquis of Beilu became the commander without much action. He was still a battlefield war with the Beice Army and became a positional war.

If you advance a little today, I will counterattack tomorrow. Just like the first World War in Wang Ce’s impression, the front line between the German and French troops.

Trenches, positions, ground meat, medium and long-range "artillery fire", etc., form a flesh-and-blooded flesh-and-blooded flesh-and-blooded flesh-and-blooded flesh-and-blooded war. The main attack on the southwest line, the Dalu Army and the Beice Army desperately accumulate lives on this four hundred-mile front and engage in a cold and brutal ground-making battle.

On average, large-scale offense and defense are once every three days, one big fight every three days, and one small fight every day.

In just over twenty days, the Dalu Southwest Army suffered more than 500,000 casualties, the Beice Army (including the Northern Tang Army) had 200,000 casualties, the gangs in troubled times suffered 150,000 casualties, and the cannon fodder army suffered 13 million.

Regardless of the battle with the Spirit Army, the average casualties exceed 30,000 people per day. If this continues, all the troops invested by both sides will die in less than a year.

In just over twenty days, the entire southwest line was so heavy that the casualties were terrible.

The ice and snow melted in March, revealing the green traces of spring.

Wang Ce walked to the front line, suddenly raised his foot, folded a small wild flower that had grown strongly from under his feet, and picked it in front of his nose and smelled the faint fragrance of wild flowers.

Looking back, he looked around and saw that behind him, the generals including Guan Jinyun and Hanyi were on the southwest line.

Wang Ce did not want to criticize how the Beice Army did before he came back. However, after he took over, the first thing he did was to summon all senior generals to publicly explain the difficulties that the war would arise in the future, and also publicly explain his combat ideas.

Then, there are a series of strategies and related personnel adjustments.

Previously, the Beice Army's troops were scattered on three sides and were passively defended. After Wang Ce took over, he asked to attack the southwest, with defense as the main focus in the northeast and defense as the southeast.

On the Northeast Line, the two prefectures from Dalu Northeast and the North. In the past, they fought with the barbarians for many years and were the two prefectures with the most powerful combat power.

However, it is similar to the Northern Tang Dynasty. After the Dalu pacified the Barbarian Kingdom, his strategic direction changed and a series of military adjustments were made. The Northern Prefecture became the most important defense zone, and the Northeast Prefecture moved south and approached the Beice Prefecture.

The elite troops of the two northern prefectures have long been transferred to the south, and most of the remaining soldiers are recruits who have been enlisted for a few years. Instead, the Northeast Line has the least military pressure.

So, Wang Ce appointed Zhong Yunji, Guo Shaoqian, Ma Yue and Zhuo Hao to take charge of the Northeast Line, commanding six legions and 700,000 troops. Facing Dalu Northeast Front Army 1.5 million.

From some perspectives, the importance of the Southeast Line, even above the Southwest Line, will face greater military pressure. Therefore, Wang Ce appointed Yan Ding as the commander of the Southeast Line, with six legions and seven hundred thousand army. The opposite Dalu Southeast Front Army had only one million.

Yan Ding is good at guarding and has shown excellent strategic capabilities and combat capabilities of the large army. It is safest to be in the southeast, but it is also Wang Ce’s most reassuring.

Wang Ce personally took charge of the southwest line and commanded the 800,000 mixed coalition forces. Due to the meat-mincing battle these days, there were only about 600,000 left.

The southwest line directly faces the Dalu Southwest Front, which is still more than 2.5 million, was also attacked by half of the Dalu Northeast and Southeast.

This is the battle Wang Ce faced at this time.

...

...

In fact, this battle is very different from the battle between the north and the south.

In the battle between the north and the south, the battlefield was once a horizontal length of a thousand miles. However, the front line was almost a straight line. At that time, the Shangyang Army and the Northern Tang Army confronted each other on a relatively straight line.

If you have to describe the front line of this battle in a more detailed way, it is a fallen word "u".

Dalu was afraid of the War Spirit Army, so he moved the southeast and northwest armies closer to the southwest line, forcing Wang Ce to make it difficult for him to take advantage of the War Spirit Army's mobility.

The battle of the southwest line into a positional war has something to do with the "artillery fire" too fierce, but it is not the main thing. If you really want to attack, whether it is Dalu or Wang Ce, you have the ace army in the third realm of Gangqi that can force the attack.

More, in fact, Wang Ce doesn’t want to attack. Strategic attacks and tactical attacks seem to be similar, but undoubtedly different.

Once the attack is made, forcing the Dalu Army to retreat, it means expanding the defense line and increasing the defensive pressure to the southeast and northeast. Originally, only a few thousand miles of defense were needed, but if one thousand miles was increased, the troops would naturally be insufficient.

Insufficient troops are the biggest problem of the Beice Alliance. To be precise, the human army is insufficient troops.

Wang Ce had to place a small legion in the southeast and northwest, that is, the legion in troubled times. The battle against the Spirit Army lasted for more than three days and needed supplies. Although the Northern Tang and Beice Mansion had acquired spirit stones for several years, if they really wanted to fight, it would definitely not be enough.

Wang Ce had to go to the southeast and northeast every three days and use the Battle Spirit Army to replace the battle. Fortunately, he was a martial artist and his speed was fast enough.

Even so, the Dalu Army was still very fast, or had already known that the War Spirit Army needed supplies to continue to fight. Basically, every time it was calculated, and the attack was launched, and Wang Cebai was forced to make a trip several times.

Zhan Ling Army is fighting, how can Wang Ce be replaced?

The southwest line is undoubtedly the most important and decisive battlefield. It is inevitable to fight into a flesh-and-blood mill. Either retreat or advance, which is the most in line with the strategies of both sides.

Continue to a stalemate, it is not advisable. Move forward? Retreat?

In fact, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"Wang Ce will definitely attack."

Beilu Hou explained plainly: "No one will like to be passive, and no one will like to be beaten from beginning to end. Either retreat or move forward, Wang Ce must make a choice."

"Your Majesty, you can't stand the casualties in the past month." After a pause, the truth about the Beilu Marquis made Emperor Lu very embarrassed. To be honest, the casualties in the positional battle in the past month were too tragic: "Your Majesty can't stand it, let alone Wang Ce."

"Not necessarily." Hu Bao stood in the corner and said in a low voice: "Wang Ce is very conflicted. He will assassinate His Majesty for his seventeen subordinates in anger. He will also be cruel and cruel to kill each other's hostages."

The Marquis of Beilu smiled, and a smile appeared on the face of Wuhou Tieyi: "The general means that Wang Ce may be able to tolerate it, and may not care about casualties. However, it does not mean that the soldiers of the coalition forces do not care or are afraid."

The Dalu Army has strict discipline and a strong will to fight. Although it has not been recognized, the Dalu Army is the most powerful army in the world. This is actually what many people agree with.

The flesh-and-blooded battle lasted almost a month, even the soldiers of the Dalu Army had a lot of complaints. Such a positional battle was too boring, with heavy casualties and almost no hope was seen.

Emperor Lu pondered: "Retreat? Move forward? Why would he definitely move forward?"

Wu Hou said in a deep voice: "Each has its pros and cons. Retreatment can narrow the defense line and reduce the pressure on the southeast and northeast lines of the Beice Alliance. It can also lure our army into depth and even have the opportunity to reach an encirclement and annihilation battle. However, there are many disadvantages."

He did not explain, nor did Emperor Lu ask, but it was actually hard to describe it. The withdrawal was just from a political perspective, which was quite unfavorable to the morale within the Beice Prefecture.

"Forward is Wang Ce's best choice for the present and future." Beilu Hou said slowly: "Invading into my Dalu territory is a great temptation. Wang Ce is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the War Spirit Army."

"The Zhan Ling Army is suitable for attack, not defense. The Zhan Ling Army does not have a middle and lower-level command system, which is the biggest weakness. He will never divide his troops." As he said that, he glanced at Wu Hou, and Wu Hou nodded silently to admit.

"The benefits of advancing are great, and attacking our Dalu is one of them. Secondly, it can force the Southwest Army to disconnect from the Southeast and Northeast Army, expand the space distance, and create opportunities for Wang Ce to calmly encircle and annihilate."

Emperor Lu was silent for a long time, and his bright eyes looked at the two of them: "What if Wang Ce refused to move forward?"

The Beilu Hou smiled peacefully: "Then continue to play now."

"Or, the morale of the Beice coalition army collapsed. Or, the only thing left is the Battle Spirit Army when the Beice coalition army is fighting."

Emperor Lu trembled, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered a key. The number of Beice coalition forces, or in other words, the number of human troops in the Beice coalition forces was too small.

This is a weakness worth catching up with fierce pursuits.

The Beilu Hou turned his face and said, "Your Majesty, I hope the Jinxiu Camp can cooperate, especially the Xiuying Camp. I asked the Xiuying Camp to try to cut off the fine works of the Beiya and the Jinyiwei in the next half month."

The commander of the embroidery camp did not come. Emperor Lu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will tell Yu Yuan when I go back!"

Three years ago, Gou Yiwen had retired. The one who became the new commander was the one who was promoted very quickly in more than ten years... Yu Yuan!

...

...

The atmosphere of Lu Jing is not as relaxed as in previous years.

Over the years, Dalu has instigated countless wars, except for the many rise wars before Dalu became a superpower, and except for the rebellion that almost collapsed Dalu by the institutional reform. No war has made Dalu feel uneasy as this time.

Over the years, Dalu often stands on the side of the winner in countless wars. This cultivates Dalu's confidence and pride as a member of the superpower, and naturally, his martial spirit.

This is the first time in many years. All the lords are worried about the frontline.

At least in the past hundred years, Dalu's first great defeat was given by both Wang Ce and the Zhan Ling Army. There was also the battle between the north and the south, and the reputation of Wang Ce's new generation of top generals.

The Heavenly Demon King Ce, this is a name that has long been well-known, with countless dazzling lights. The title of King of Northern is just to represent Wang Ce's achievements in the military and political fields.

The people in the city were worried about the frontline war.
