Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 279

"How, how is this possible?!"

After receiving the battle report from Xiong Daoyuan, King Ganke of Chu also couldn't believe it, the gap was too great.Could it be that this Southwest Corps is really an untouchable and untouchable hedgehog, whoever touches it will be unlucky? !
"Your Highness, do you want to stop transferring to the Sixth Division?" Dai Jin asked tentatively.

"No."

King Ganke of Chu directly rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.

The King of Wei could throw half of his troops into the battlefield at will, but the King of Chu could not. Kunwu County and Kuaiji County under his jurisdiction both bordered on large areas of the New Dynasty.

Always threatened by the new dynasty.

Even if the new emperor has given up the Qianyuan pawn, it does not mean that the new emperor will not take advantage of the huge defense gap in the territory under the jurisdiction of the king of Chu.

Conquering the Chu Palace has always been one of the goals of the new emperor.

"Then, how about besieging Nanyu City and not attacking it? First occupy the remaining four prefectures of Nanyu County and consolidate the results of the previous battle. It is not empty-handed." Dai Jin failed in one plan, and offered another plan, "And , after conquering Guanxiang Mansion, we can also cut off the connection between Nanyu City and Siyou County, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"That's fine."

For Nanyu County, the King of Chu has an unimaginable obsession for outsiders, and it is good to be able to occupy the four mansions.

It's just that Dai Jin failed to achieve the desired results several times in a row, and the king of Chu began to distrust him again. He turned to look at Jia Xu who had been silent all this time, and asked, "What do you think, sir?"

A trace of jealousy flashed in Dai Jin's eyes.

Jia Xu knew that if Dai Jin's plan was followed, even if the Southwest Corps could repel the invading King Chu army in the future, the damage to Nanyu County would be irreversible.

It is not in the interests of King Qin.

After thinking about it, I was still ready to break this plan.

"Master Dai Jin's strategy is indeed feasible, but there is a risk in it." Jia Xu is digging holes for Dai Jin again. In terms of the level of the trappers, Dai Jin is not enough in front of him.

"What risk?"

Jia Xu said: "In the battlefield of Nanyu County, the enemy has [-] troops, and our army has only [-]. There is not much difference between them. If you want to occupy the land of the four prefectures, you must send troops to these places, which will lead to The main force is scattered. The officials are worried that the defenders in Nanyu City will take the opportunity to launch a counterattack."

"It will not end well by then." Jia Xu pointed out.

King Chu heard the potential risks involved.

If the defenders in Nanyu City were other troops, maybe it would be fine, but with the Southwest Corps, with their previous style, a counterattack is almost inevitable.

The King of Chu did not want to lose his wife and lose his troops.

"Then, besides continuing to besiege Nanyu City, there is nothing we can do?" King Chu was very depressed. He hadn't tasted this powerlessness for a long time.

Jia Xu was silent, apparently acquiescing.

The King of Chu was even more depressed. Fortunately, he still had his senses, so he said helplessly, "That's it. We can't always be at the forefront in this big encirclement and suppression battle. .”

He did not believe that the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate could perform miracles on all four battlefields. No matter where a fighter plane appeared on any battlefield, it might affect Nanyu County.

Waiting may also be a good choice.

Having said that, King Chu was still very annoyed at losing such a big face in front of the allied forces.

He had a good face,

Now it's the face, and the face is gone.

…………

The result of the Battle of Nanyu City left all the forces dumbfounded, and I don't know how many people's jaws were shocked.

As the Chu King Army, the most expected of the four routes, suffered heavy losses under the city of Nanyu, the direction of the entire battle began to deviate from the trajectory preset by these bigwigs.

And how did all this happen?

First, on the battlefield of Siyou County, Xue Rengui's troops fought a beautiful counterattack, knocking down the Izumo army in one fell swoop, and they haven't slowed down until now.

Then outside Qiwu City,

An ambush carefully planned by Guo Jia disrupted the attacking rhythm of the Chu army.

Then there was the just-concluded battle of Nanyu City. The Southwest Corps used its hard-core strength to fight a defense battle without any water, and the King Chu army was defeated on the spot.

Three local battles and three beautiful sniper attacks.

There is an old saying: "One effort, then decline, and three exhaustion." The three victories of the Southwest Corps finally curbed the rhythm of the Allied forces' triumphant advance since the war began.

The argument that "the Southwest Corps will be defeated" seems to be untenable.

This was undoubtedly a landmark node for the entire campaign, which meant that the Southwest Corps blocked the most violent wave of the enemy's offensive.

The entire battle situation began to turn into a stalemate.

Since the start of the war, the Allied forces seem to have the upper hand on the scene, but have not achieved any substantial results. The Southwest Corps has gained a lot through three partial battles.

The blow to Allied morale was fatal.

The allied forces, who were originally full of confidence, began to become less confident.

For example, King Ganke of Chu is no longer so full of confidence and no longer so desperate, and he begins to calculate the dialectics between benefits, risks, and investments in his mind.

The same is true of Wei Wang Gantai.

Because they increase the chance of failure, they inevitably prepare for the worst.If a large number of troops are invested but ultimately fail, what does that mean to the jurisdiction?
This is a very serious proposition.

With concerns in their hearts, their attitude is naturally not as firm as before.

…………

On June [-], Nanyu City.

At night, Qianyuan's study room was lit up as usual.Every night, Qian Yuan would work with Guo Jia to sort out and analyze the battle reports gathered from various battlefields.

When necessary, some instructions will also be issued.

In the study, Qian Yuan's expression was not as relaxed as outsiders imagined.Although Nanyu City was defended, the battle also fell into a stalemate, and the fiefdom was considered to have passed the greatest crisis.

But it is far from being able to say that this battle has been won.

Not to mention winning, even if the war continues in such a stalemate, it will be detrimental to the fiefdom.Every day the battle is delayed, the food and supplies consumed are astronomical.

This is just direct consumption.

Because of the war, less than half of the engineering projects in the fief were forced to suspend work, people were panicked, the construction that should be carried out was put on hold, and the New Deal that Qian Yuan pushed was also forced to be postponed.

It's all loss.

Therefore, after defending Nanyu City, Qian Yuan's attention was no longer on Nanyu City, but thinking about how to break the current deadlock.

Guo Jiadao: "Your Highness, I believe that the root cause of the current predicament is still in the Quicksand Country."

Although the great encirclement and suppression campaign of the Anti-Qin Alliance originated from the Izumo Kingdom, the real initiator and organizer was the Quicksand Kingdom.

Among the four forces in the alliance, the attitude of the Quicksand Country is also the most resolute.

Because Liusha Kingdom has no way out, it can only fight with its last resort.Even if any force withdraws, Liusha Kingdom will probably fight to the end.

So far, the Quicksand Kingdom has held back more than [-]% of the fief's troops.

"If we can concentrate our forces, retreat in one fell swoop, or even conquer the quicksand country in the opposite direction, then whether it is the Izumo country, or the king of Wei and the king of Chu, they will retreat despite difficulties." Guo Jia said.

Only by solving the Quicksand Kingdom, the Southwest Corps can release a large amount of combat power and transfer to other battlefields for reinforcements.And if it was Siyou County, even if they won, they would have no soldiers to adjust.

Qian Yuan nodded, obviously approving Guo Jia's judgment.

But how difficult it is to kill the quicksand army, the current fief does not have any adjustable soldiers who can be sent to the battlefield in Kongsang County.

In the absence of reinforcements, it is difficult for Di Qingbu to do anything big.

Guo Jia said: "The fief actually still has a force, which has not been effectively utilized."

"What power?"

"Friar." Guo Jia is indeed extraordinary, "In the fief, there are not only four great monks at the soul stage, Zuo Ci, Xu Fu, Yu Ji, and Tan Taixiong, but also more than twenty monks at the entraining stage. This force twisted together and suddenly launched a devastating attack on the quicksand army, which may be able to break the current balance of power."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that."

Guo Jia's words woke up the dreamer, and Qianyuan suddenly became excited. Others might have been worried about the formation, but he had no problem at all.

Qian Yuan remembered that there were many similar large-scale attack formations in the [Mall].
