From Soldier To Emperor

Now Richard has basically figured out the routines of the system. In this see-saw war of attrition, Richard only paid more than 20,000 cannon fodder for the auxiliary army. A system headquarters received 3,000 air luck coins without sacrificing soldiers and horses, and it went smoothly. Push it to Shulejun Town, an important node of the Tubo air defense line.

As long as those Shulejun towns, Richard can smash a big gap in the defense line established by the Tubo people, use Shulejun town as a transfer station to continuously invade the eastern Congling area, and even intercept the retreat of the Longjiajun in the north. !

　　 It can be said that Shulejun Town is the most important support point in the defense line established by the Tubo people, and it has undertaken the role of a transportation hub between the north and the south.

　　Under this situation, the three alliances would naturally not sit still. In fact, when Richard's army removed the fulcrum of the outer defense line of Shulejun Town, the Long Family Army in the north started a large-scale war.

　　Long Lotte personally led the main force of the Long Family Army, learned the way of Richard, and rushed into the local area to forcefully recruit young and strong people, forming a siege cannon fodder brigade more than the main army.

　　 Then the Long Family Army and Richard's incomplete field army and local defense army fought fiercely around several cities.

　　 Richard's side is on the defensive, and the Long Family Army is on the offensive.

　　Because of the backward communication technology of this era, Richard did not know the severe situation in the north, let alone his only trust, the field army and the garrison that were bought by the military meritorious field to prepare the Long Family Army...

　　Long Lotte’s attack is very cautious. Every time he crushes the enemy’s defenders with absolute strength, the defenders on Richard’s side have not won a battle!

　　 If there is no victory, Richard will naturally not be rewarded with luck coins. There is no system prompt for defeat. Therefore, Richard does not know that the situation in the north is falling into a disadvantage.

　　 But it is precisely because of Long Letian's steady and steady fight that the progress of the north is far from the progress of Richard.

　　 In fact, Richard has already included Long Le Tian’s move to jump over the wall in his strategic plan.

　　 Forcing and plundering the young men as cannon fodder has no technical content. As long as the heart is ruthless and there is a core force loyal to oneself, a larger number of young men can be used for siege.

　　 When the time comes to use cannon fodder to consume the defender’s arrows and troops, when the defender is exhausted and the long-range weapons are almost consumed, then use the main force to charge, basically a city will come down...

　　 After all, Richard did not place heavy troops in the northern city, and he had to divide his troops to defend him. The field army has never had enough soldiers to supplement, and the strength is still relatively weak compared to the Long Family Army.

　　 As long as Long Letian fights steadily and replenishes enough cannon fodder, it will only be a matter of time before Richard's defense line to the north is breached.

　　 This principle is the same as Richard's strong attack on the Tubo line of defense. No matter how much the Tubo people do, the lack of absolute strength keeps them at a strategic disadvantage.

　　 Cannon fodder is not a core force after all. The accumulated cannon fodder is too much. If Richard concentrates his elite on fighting a battle, the Tubo will become insufficient. If the cannon fodder is scattered from the main force, Richard can concentrate the cannon fodder and consume a little bit...

　　The advantage of terrain is that it can kill and damage the main attacker in large quantities, but what can the Tubo people do if Richard is willing to die?

　　The most important thing is that Richard is now occupying the general trend. Whether it is cannon fodder or the main Tubo force, he has a natural sense of fear for Richard's Red Turban army, and the momentum of the fight is half weak...

　　 This leads to the same offensive methods of Richard and the Long Family Army, but the speed of their advance far exceeds that of the Long Family Army.

　　The Western Region city is so big, and the wilderness is still unable to make a large-scale roundabout. As long as there is enough strength, it can be pushed a little bit by bit by a hard fight...

　　 Actually, the local Han gentry class in the Tubo-ruled area is secretly preparing to welcome King Daming. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the right to belong to the Western Regions is definitely Richard's.

There are only two options for breaking the three alliances. The Long Family Army in the north suddenly broke out, tearing and destroying Richard's northern line of defense, and then going deep into the interior of Richard to overthrow, destroying Richard’s foundation and forcing Richard to have to. Look back.

　　 At that time, the entire strategic situation is fully alive!

It’s a pity that Richard’s military awards and a comprehensive military promotion system have given the local garrison corps and even the patrol room a certain degree of combat effectiveness. Coupled with the half field corps that has experienced many battles, the Long Family Army has maintained the upper hand and has broken countless enemies along the way. , But the advancing speed is too slow...

Of course, the first plan of the three alliances to destroy the enemy has died. As long as Richard breaks through the Shulejun Town, the Long Family Army will have to spit out all the swallowed city and retreat back to Yanqi, otherwise it will wait for Richard’s army to catch the turtle. Right!

Another break option is more complicated to operate. The three alliances can take advantage of the Tufan tribal warriors who are good at fighting small-scale encounters, and the deep-rooted advantages of the Yuchi Family Long Family. They no longer care about the city's gains and losses. Ready to put Richard's army in to fight guerrillas!

　　 However, because there is no support from the local Han Chinese gentry, the second choice is several times more difficult than the first one!

　　 Except for Yuchi Yingzhe, who is about to have nothing and has a weak military force, the other two are unwilling to choose the second path...

　　 After all, Songtsen Gambo can return to the Tufan Kingdom~www.wuxiahere.com~ Long Letian, who has the strength, can lead the army to surrender to Richard and obtain the opportunity of leniency.

　　 With Richard’s political wisdom, it is impossible to refuse the Long Family’s surrender. Even if the Long Family loses their military power, at least the family industry can be kept.

Only the Yuchi family did not have the conditions to negotiate with Richard. Poor Yuchi Yingzhe was smashed by Songtsen Gambo’s beautiful paintings, and his wealth was scattered to rebuild the army. Once he surrendered with his troops, even if Richard forgave the Yuchi family, he didn’t. How many wealthy Yuchi families will quickly decline after losing their army!

　　Different from the Long Family, which had little loss, the only wealth of the Yuchi Family now is the army in their hands!

　　 If the army and the administrative taxation power of Khotan’s military town are lost, the Yuchi family, which has ran out of wealth, will collapse in less than a month!

　　 Therefore, the Shule Army Town has become the key to the strategic victory of both sides. If the Shule Army Town is breached in the shortest time, the Long Family Army in the north will be forced to withdraw its troops, and the tripartite alliance will be self-defeating.

　　If the Shule Army Town lasts long enough, the Long Family Army will make a large-scale breakthrough in the north, and there will be a chaos behind Richard. I am afraid that Richard will vomit all the territory out...

　　 However, there is only one lonely main city left in Shulejun Town. The defenders in the city can break through five figures, and nearly half of them are defeated soldiers from other places!

　　 At this time, the field army in the north has not been destroyed, and the Long Family Army is still far from breaking through the north line of defense!

　　 It's just that the **** smell created by the see-saw war of attrition between the two sides attracted a powerful enemy to Shule Jun Town!
