Portable Space Can be Summoned

That is to say, the Shun army coming from the county town did not respond slowly, otherwise the entire defense line would have been smashed to pieces by the Divine Guards.

Even so, the Shun army's losses were much heavier than they seemed.

The cities on the defensive line were not breached, but many of the towns and flag forts connecting these cities were breached.

Losing these towns not only resulted in the loss of thousands of soldiers and numerous supplies, but also severed the connections between the various cities.

Every loss made Shunjun feel painful in his heart.

Not only is it painful, it’s troublesome!

Too much territory was lost, and it was already difficult to support the war with only a dozen counties in the south.

In fact, with the financial resources of the southern counties, they could still hold on for a few more months, but they didn't want to give it up.

Although I dare not refuse openly, the speed of delivering supplies has dropped by more than 30%.

The reasons are easy to find and very legitimate.

Hao Daozong transported too many supplies for the first time, and had already transported all the reserves of the southern counties for nearly a year.

Of course, transporting supplies will be slower.

Besides, it was the first time to transport so much food and supplies, how could it be used up so quickly?

"Even three hundred thousand pigs can't eat them so fast! That's a year's worth of reserves for the entire south!"

"You! How can you compare the soldiers of the imperial court with pigs? It's so outrageous!"

"Hmph! I just..."

"Shut up! I didn't ask you to come here to quarrel. If the quarrel can produce food and grass, I will accompany you to quarrel!"

An elderly head of the family shouted to stop the quarrel.

The old man was in his sixties, with white hair, and the skin on his face was very loose, but the sharp look in his eyes made everyone dare not ignore what he said.

It's not just because of his age. As the head of the most powerful family in Nanning County, no one can easily ignore his existence.

"Mr. Liu, calm down. They don't want to quarrel. It's just that the court has gone too far and we really have no good solution."

"Please ask Mr. Liu to make a charter so that we can discuss it under the charter."

"Yes, Mr. Liu, as long as you set the rules, we will definitely abide by them!"

"..."

The old head of the Liu family listened to everyone's flattery and felt calm in his heart. Don't listen to what these people are saying now, but what they do in the future depends on whether it is in the interests of each of their families.

They just want me to be the leader and want to use the Liu family and the court to negotiate terms.

If he really thinks that these people will listen to him and obey his orders, then he is an old fool!

"There is no need to mention the charter. There is no need to say more about why everyone is sitting here. There is no need to talk nonsense. My Liu family can only give out 50% of the food and grass this time. You can tell me how much you want to give. Let's go together. Mr. Cao will discuss it."

Family leader Liu tried his best to put on a kind expression on his old face, but no one saw a trace of kindness.

Old fox!

The heads of all the aristocratic families cursed in their hearts, your Liu family has given out 50%, how can we get less?

And they all know in their hearts that 50% is not the final result, and Master Cao will definitely raise the requirements.

It would be nice to finally be able to talk about 70%, and 60% would be a condition that makes them excited.

"Okay, let's talk to Mr. Cao first!"

The specific results of the negotiations between the aristocratic families in the southern counties and the imperial officials are unknown, but the supply of grain and grass supplies from the south to the front line has decreased, and the speed has also slowed down a lot.

This change will not affect the frontline troops in a short period of time.

Hao Daozong strongly insisted that it was a wise choice to set off after all the food and grass had been transported.

But this behavior inevitably gave the God Guards an opportunity to develop.

It can only be said that there are not so many things in the world that have the best of both worlds!

...

Gongyi's command camp has been moved from Anyang County to Cheng'an County, on a plain not far from the front line.

Of course, Yang Yuan would not just stay behind. He did not notify Gong Yi and disappeared into the county town where he was staying temporarily with Shen Quan and the Guards Battalion.

When he appeared again, everyone was surprised!

The general offensive of the Divine Guards became more and more fierce, and new weapons from Cangyang County were constantly transported to the front line.

Many weapons even exceeded Yang Yuan's imagination.

Yang Yuan felt very happy about this.

"It's a good thing, a great thing. Researchers can give full play to their ideas and must be supported!"

Then he asked Shen Quan to lead people to move away a large number of new weapons. The Guards Battalion is the most elite part of the Divine Guards. It would be a waste to always stay in the rear with him!

So Yang Yuan disappeared in Cheng'an County with Shen Quan and the 500 Guards Battalion.

So where is Yang Yuan now?

Qi County.

Cheng'an County is the third largest county and an important fulcrum on the Shunjun defense line. Gong Yi also deployed a large number of divine guards here.

Yang Yuan: If we want to go out, we will go to the most intense place. We will not go to the edge of the place!

Chen Quan: Lord, you have changed!

He silently recalled the battles he had fought with his lord along the way. Most of them started from the edge.

Now the Lord says he can't go to those places. Is he tired of it?

After Yang Yuan entered Qi County, he did not go to join the Divine Guards. There were three cities in Qi County that were garrisoned by Shun troops, one of which was relatively large.

The other two are small cities with a radius of no more than four or five miles. Now these two small cities have become complete military cities.

Because of the existence of three cities, Qixian's Shunjun still had sufficient control over Qixian.

If such a small number of people from the Guards Battalion were thrown into the frontal battlefield, they wouldn't even be able to cause a splash. We still had to look for opportunities from other directions.

Chen Quan:......

Lord, aren't you looking for fighter planes from the rear battlefield?

Fighting habits developed over many years are not easy to break.

This is also one of the reasons why Yang Yuan rarely personally directs large-scale operations.

No matter how many soldiers and horses he has at hand, he always wants to obtain the maximum result at the minimum cost.

There is nothing wrong with this idea. The strength of the Divine Guards can support him in executing such tactics.

But Yang Yuan still has a thorough understanding of his own shortcomings.

Therefore, he usually leaves battles involving hundreds of thousands of people to the summoned generals of the Divine Guards, who have rich war experience.

It’s a waste if you don’t use it!

Yang Yuan and the Guards Battalion must have one imperial war horse per capita, and Yang Yuan can continue to summon them if necessary.

Take a master with you and you have everything!

Yang Yuan: "Where are you now?"

It was also Chen Quan's first time to come to Qi County, but he was not afraid. He had a map, a detailed military map.

"Lord, we are less than thirty miles southwest of Qi County. Forty miles to the east is a military fortress of the Shun Army. There are about three thousand Shun Army garrisoned."

Yang Yuan glanced to the east in surprise. There were three thousand soldiers stationed in a fort. How big of a fort was this?

I originally wanted to make a sneak attack on the military fort behind the Shun Army, but three thousand garrison troops couldn't even make a sneak attack!

Do you really think that five hundred guards battalions can dominate the world and be invincible?

Yang Yuan has a very clear understanding of himself. He can cause trouble, but he cannot involve himself.

So Shen Quan has gradually figured out what he was targeting!
