Faced with the second wave of concentrated fire from the Crane Alliance, Long Qiushanjun hesitated for a moment before deciding to abandon the entire Shangyong battlefield and gather all the forces of the Dragon Alliance in the Jingzhao area.
Although he knew that giving up Shangyong was equivalent to giving up the gateway to the entire Yongzhou, it would definitely be a huge blow to the morale of the alliance members and the future of the entire war situation.
But there is no way. The Shangyong battlefield has developed to this point. Unless the Liangzhou Dragon Alliance and the Sakura Alliance, which are currently defending Hanzhong, are gathered together, they will definitely not be able to hold on head-on.
Moreover, after this battle, Long Qiushanjun realized that the Dragon Alliance was facing a very embarrassing situation.
In a head-on one-on-one match, the Yizhou ally Dragon丨Invincible in a Hundred Battles is no match for the Yangzhou Crane丨Being Happy with Wine, and the Liangzhou ally Dragon丨Invincible in a Hundred Battles is no match for the Crane丨Tengxiao Jiuzhou.
But leaving aside the wandering army, just talking about the combat effectiveness of the regular army, if the three of them join forces to deal with the coalition forces of the two Crane Alliances, Long Qiushanjun is still somewhat confident.
No matter it is two against one or three against two, although Long Qiushanjun dare not guarantee a sure win, at least unless there are no unexpected circumstances, it will definitely not collapse like it is now.
Unfortunately, they did have the opportunity to form such an opportunity to defeat the minority with more people. According to Yu Liang's original idea, the two Crane Alliances would attack Yongzhou together, one from Shangyong Jingzhao and the other from Qishan.
But under the advice of Kuxinren, Lingxiao丨Tiance and others, Yuliang finally gave up this idea and decided to divide the entire southern battlefield into two parts.
Part of the battlefield was controlled in Yongzhou, and the other part was controlled in Hanzhong area.
This is equivalent to posing an absolutely unsolvable problem to the Dragon Alliance, and because of the wandering army, it is still unknown how the so-called two-on-one fight in Hanzhong will pan out.
But there is no other way. Now Long Qiushanjun can only hope that the Dragon Alliance will successfully defeat Jingzhou on the battlefield in Hanzhong and rush back to support Yongzhou. Otherwise, if the battle continues at this speed, even Chang'an will be lost in a few days.
If the day ever comes when Chang'an is lost, the Dragon Alliance can basically choose to surrender directly.
The managers of the Crane Alliance naturally understood this principle, so Yu Liang was also very anxious about the situation on the entire Yongzhou battlefield.
After all, King丨Shengtian Banzi also told him that it would be difficult for the members of the Righteous Path of the World to display their full strength at the beginning of the war.
That is to say, on the first day of the war, the main force of the entire battlefield will definitely be the Jingzhou Crane Alliance. It will be a one-on-two battle on the front line, and Yu Liang has no idea how the battle will turn out.
Now, as the Crane Alliance began to prepare for the second wave of concentrated fire on the Shangyong battlefield, the Dragon Alliance chose to temporarily avoid the attack and evacuate Shangyong. This move was also noticed by Yu Liang.
He knew that the Dragon Alliance's retreat now was a signal that they were completely unable to defend themselves. This was a good opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and push forward in one go.
Crane Alliance core management penguin group.
Emperor's uncle: Tian Ce, command well and push forward Shangyong. I see many people in the Dragon Alliance have transferred their troops, probably to Jingzhao. Now that Shangyong is just a bunch of empty fortresses, we should push forward quickly.
Ling Xiao丨Tian Ce: I noticed that too, but I have an idea. I feel that if we want to defeat the Dragon Alliance, we don’t have to rush to Jingzhao.
Bai Yi Du Jiang: Huh? If not Jingzhao, where else can we go? If we want to attack Chang'an, we must go through Jingzhao, right? Otherwise, if we don't take the official road, the prefect's carriage won't be able to move.
Ling Xiao丨Tian Ce: The defeat of the Dragon Alliance is only a matter of time. If we want to defeat them completely, we should just completely block their last hope. We can go directly to Feng Ling and block Tongguan.
Ultraman: Of course you can, but wouldn’t it take too much time to block Tongguan? It’s not close from Shangyongpu to Tongguan. This will give the Dragon Alliance a chance to recuperate.
Kuxinren: No, no, no, I think Tiance’s method is very good. If we go through Jingzhao and take Chang’an directly, we can force the enemy into a corner and they may force their way into Tongguan and become a stubborn target in Sili.
But if they block Tongguan first and then gradually erode the entire Yongzhou, what awaits the Dragon Alliance is a slow death with no way out. I think that's okay.
Lingxiao丨Tian Ce: Moreover, it takes time to build Tongguan, which does not mean that the Dragon Alliance can get time to rest. At worst, we can divide the governor's troops into two groups, one to build Tongguan and the other to build Jingzhao.
Emperor's uncle: Well, that's fine. Anyway, we have enough prefects, and we must take Jingzhao. Otherwise, if the Dragon Alliance finds out that we don't fight them anymore and run directly to Hanzhong, it will be very troublesome.
Wuye: I see. So we have to pave the way and also be sticky enough to keep the Dragon Alliance completely stuck?
Bai Yi Du Jiang: Haha, that’s the truth, Wu Ye has no problem understanding it.
Meng丨Ming Daoxin: Then when are we going to defeat Yong?
Lingxiao丨Tian Ce: Nine o'clock, let's do it. We have an hour to clean up the battlefield and turn over all the red land of the Dragon Alliance. Then we can attack the city directly at nine o'clock. Shangyong is just a level four city, so it's easy to capture.
Emperor's uncle: Okay, that's settled then. Although there are some changes in the tactical details, remember one thing: the overall idea remains unchanged. The battlefield of Yongzhou requires a quick victory while also being stable. We absolutely cannot fail!
…
Time passed minute by minute, and more than an hour flew by in a flash. The Spartans and demolition teams left behind by the Dragon Alliance on the Shangyong battlefield did not become any obstacle to the Crane Alliance.
After being flattened like a rotten wood, the time finally came to nine o'clock in the evening, and the Crane Alliance also shot arrows towards Shangyong from the fortress group inside Jiameng Pass.
Shangyong is a level 4 city with only eight teams of level 7 defenders and 5,000 durability. It is not a problem at all in front of the Crane Alliance. Even if it is a long-range shot, these 5,000 durability will probably be a waste of one wave.
Moreover, Yuliang roughly calculated that his own teams' demolition work alone would take up more than a thousand durability in one wave.
As expected, just two minutes after the Crane Alliance attacked the city at nine o'clock, news came on the world channel that the Crane Alliance had successfully occupied Shangyong, a fourth-level city in Yongzhou.
While the members of the Crane Alliance were celebrating their victory in the first stage of the entire Yongzhou battlefield, the vanguard of the Crane Alliance in Jingzhou was still dozens of grids away from Hanzhong.
In other words, this little bet between the village chief and Yu Liang ended with Yu Liang and the entire Yangzhou He drinking and chatting happily to win.
After taking Shangyong, the Crane Alliance was not idle, but started the next step, paving the way to Tongguan while heading north to Jingzhao!
