Online Games Barbarism and Civilization - Vol 2 Chapter 1324
When the game restarted, the Northern Expedition Alliance, which had been pushed to a desperate situation, immediately started with all its strength.
Soon, a series of actions of the Northern Expedition Alliance were reported one by one to Ning Yuan, who was on the plain of eastern Henan, by the Seraphim scouts.
When Ning Yuan learned that the Northern Expedition Alliance had assembled a large number of troops in Jingzhou and Yueyang, he guessed what the Northern Expedition Alliance wanted to do.
Facing the Northern Expedition Alliance that wanted to reconnect the north and south banks of the Yangtze River with the Colorful Bridge, Ning Yuan did not order the naval fleet on the Yangtze River to stop, but directly ordered all the fleets there to retreat to the Jiujiang waters.
The naval fleet withdrew, and all the Condor troops located there also withdrew.
Soon, the Northern Expedition Alliance without any threats successfully built two Colorful Bridges in Jingzhou and Yueyang.
After all the three Colorful Bridges on the Yangtze River were put into use, the Colorful Bridge in Xiangyang City had already been erected and put into use.
After all the Colorful Bridges were put into use, the Northern Expedition Alliance, which had decided to make a desperate move, began to continuously transport troops and various strategic materials to the Nanyang Basin.
……
While the Northern Expedition Alliance was actively preparing for battle, the Condor Army on the eastern Henan plain still used the trebuchet to throw the ice hockey tactics, attacking the besieged city without delay.
Barbarian at noon on January 25, 34.
The city of Kaifeng, which had resisted stubbornly for a week, was finally buried by ice hockey.
After repeated confirmations that there were not many living people under the frozen layer in Kaifeng City, the Condor Army immediately pointed Bingfeng to the gateway of Zhengzhou—Zhongmu County.
Tongxu, Taikang, Dancheng and other counties were also sealed by ice at the same time as Kaifeng City.
The Condor Army located on the Middle Road of the Eastern Henan Plain was eroding every county seat of the Northern Expedition Alliance in the middle of the Eastern Henan Plain. They were approaching Xuchang with a clear goal.
……
While the Condor Army was pressing hard, Li Yufeng, who was personally in command, finally completed the assembly work of the army.
On the afternoon of January 25th, Li Yufeng led an army of 500,000 through the passage between Fangcheng and Wuyang and appeared on the plains of eastern Henan.
After learning that the siege troops of the Condor Army had rushed to the outside of Zhongmu County, Li Yufeng immediately sent people to inform Lu Chenguang who was still in Zhengzhou, and let him lead the Tauren heavy infantry regiment in the city to break through Xuchang.
At the same time, he also sent out all the monster players of the Northern Expedition Alliance, allowing the monster players to act as scouts to find the true main force of the Condor Army.
In Li Yufeng’s view, whether it is the wolf cavalry army or the siege troops that are attacking various cities, they are not the true main force of the Condor Army this winter offensive.
Because with the true strength of the Condor Army, if they wanted to occupy the Yudong Plain, they would not give the Northern Expedition Alliance a chance to rescue them.
After the Condor Army dispatched the Wolf Cavalry Corps to block and isolate the cities on the Eastern Henan Plain, they could immediately send an army to occupy the several arteries of communication between the Eastern Henan Plain and the Nanyang Basin, and block the reinforcements of the Northern Expedition Alliance. Nanyang Basin.
In this way, if the reinforcements of the Northern Expedition Alliance want to enter the Eastern Henan Plain, they must launch a forceful attack on the Condor Army, which has occupied the main traffic arteries.
According to the current attack speed of the Shenying Army, even if the reinforcements of the Northern Expedition Alliance can finally penetrate the Eastern Henan Plain, I am afraid that when they enter, the entire Eastern Henan Plain will already have the surname Shenying.
The Condor Empire clearly possesses such strength, and this is not an unimaginable tactic.
But the Condor Army moved forward steadily and steadily there. There was no intention of blocking the door in the Nanyang Basin, so there must be fraud in it.
Li Yufeng seriously suspected that the Condor Army wanted to find out how to fight for help, lure the elites of the Northern Expedition Alliance to rescue, and then wiped out the main force of the Northern Expedition Alliance on the Eastern Henan Plain in one fell swoop, once and for all.
And to do all of this, it is impossible to achieve only with the wolf cavalry legion and the wild boar legion, so somewhere in the eastern Henan plain area must be hiding the true main force of the Condor Army.
Only if he succeeds in finding the traces of the true main force of the Condor Army and understanding the composition of its forces, can he make arrangements according to the specific situation, and finally find the flaws in the Condor Army, and strive to repel it in one fell swoop.
Yes, what Li Yufeng had in mind was to repel, not to defeat.
Although Li Yufeng had confidence in the Mystic Cavalry, Jingsai Army, Modao Army and Divine Arm Army under his control, in this cold winter, he was not sure that he could prevent the retreat of the Divine Eagle Army.
No matter in terms of mobility or adaptability to the environment, none of the troops he governs can compare to the Condor Army composed of all orc warriors.
If the Condor Army didn’t want to fight, then he could only watch the Condor Army go away without a slight temper.
No way, this is the advantages and disadvantages of different arms in a specific environment.
If it is in other seasons, Li Yufeng may send cavalry to hunt down when the Condor Army retreats.
But in winter, he didn’t have the guts to let the cavalry go out alone.
Because whether it is a knight or a war horse, even if they stand still, their consumption will be very large, let alone doing some strenuous exercise.
Therefore, Li Yufeng must allow them to maintain sufficient physical strength at all times so that when the Condor Army makes a mistake, it will be given a fatal blow.
This time he entered the eastern Henan Plain to fight, Li Yufeng initially set three strategic goals for himself.
The first strategic goal is to successfully reconcile with the Tauren Heavy Infantry Corps led by Lu Chenguang.
The Tauren Heavy Infantry Corps plays a pivotal role in his next strategic goal, so he must find ways to keep them.
The second strategic goal is to use Luohe and Xuchang as logistic bases, and then move the army all the way east, forcing the Condor Army to take the initiative to engage them in a frontal decisive battle.
With the tauren heavy infantry in front, Li Yufeng’s Divine Arm Legion can play a huge role in positional warfare.
If the Condor Army dispatched some light armoured orc army, then the Sacred Arm Legion will teach them to re-behave.
When the Orc Legion of the Condor Army that took the initiative to attack was repelled by the Legion of Divine Arms, Li Yufeng could also send two cavalry regiments to take the opportunity to cover up and kill.
As long as the two cavalry regiments are not greedy for merit, they will not encounter any danger.
Although in this way, it is difficult for their side to achieve great results, but the accumulation of the small gains more.
As long as they can take advantage of it every time, after accumulation, they can still bring considerable casualties to the Condor Army.
The third strategic goal is for the Central Route Army to move forward steadily, with full firepower on the left and right wings.
After waiting for the subsequent player legions to enter the Eastern Henan Plain, Li Yufeng divides the rushed players into two legions.
These two player armies will launch a throbbing attack on the Condor Army from the two wings of the Central Army.
As long as Li Yufeng’s Central Army can always stabilize his position, he can accept the victory or defeat of the player legions on the left and right wings.
Because the player legions on the left and right wings are specially used to disgust Ning Yuan, they no longer need any logistics supplies after entering the Eastern Henan Plain.
At that time, players only need to carry enough dry food according to the distance from the Condor Army, and they can rush straight up and go to death generously.
Since the players were able to return with full blood soon after they died, after Li Yufeng sent the players to implement this suicidal assault tactic, the Northern Expedition Alliance lost some food and weapons at most.
The number of losses seems to be large, but for the wealthy Northern Expedition Alliance, they can still bear it for a period of time.
As long as they can finally repel the Condor Army and retake the lost land, then this loss is nothing at all.
Because after they decided to fight to the death with the Condor Army, they were ready to lose both.
It can be said that Li Yufeng’s ultimate goal of leading the army to launch a counterattack this time is to fight with the Condor Army and lose both.
Everyone in the Northern Expedition Alliance would not be naive to think that they could defeat the strong with the weak and ultimately inflict heavy damage on the Eagle Army.
They clearly knew that there was a huge gap in strength between their side and the Condor Army.
So almost no one of them expects a miracle to happen to them, they just want to use their real strength to hurt the Condor Army, so that the Condor Army will not dare to attack them unscrupulously.
Because everyone is well aware that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
If they really hope that a miracle will happen, then they will lose miserably.
Although Li Yufeng was as famous as Jun Moxie who had defeated Ning Yuan many times, he also knew exactly why Jun Moxie was able to defeat Ning Yuan so easily.
If at that time Ning Yuan led not some improvised mobs, but the elite masters of the Shenying Empire, then maybe it would be Jun Moxie who would be defeated.
Therefore, the few times that Jun Moxie defeated Ning Yuan only had a certain reference value, and could not be used to judge Ning Yuan’s commanding strength.
This is the first time Li Yufeng has had a head-on confrontation with Ning Yuan, and the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and ours are different. Therefore, he plans to adopt a stable character formula first to cope with all changes. trick.
……
Zhengzhou City.
After receiving Li Yufeng’s order, Lu Chenguang left Zhengzhou City with the Tauren Heavy Infantry Corps before dawn the next day.
In this retreat, Lu Chenguang did not take away all the troops in Zhengzhou City. Except for the Tauren Heavy Infantry Corps, all the other troops were left by him.
There are a large amount of food, grass, and supplies stored in Zhengzhou City. Lu Chenguang was reluctant to burn it down, nor could he give it to the Condor Army for nothing.
So he left other troops in charge of guarding Zhengzhou City. After the subsequent player legions arrive, Zhengzhou City can also serve as a logistic supply base for the player legions.
Li Yufeng did not raise any objections to Lu Chenguang’s arrangement.
In Li Yufeng’s opinion, it is of course the best for Zhengzhou City to be able to defend.
The news that Lu Chenguang and Shui Ruyan led the Tauren Heavy Infantry Corps to leave Zhengzhou City soon reached Wolf Invincible’s ears.
When Wolf Wudi learned that the enemy was advancing directly in the direction of Xuchang, he immediately led a part of the wolf cavalry and followed the past.
Although Wolf Wudi did not dare to order the wolf cavalry to directly attack the Tauren Legion, their harassment caused the entire Tauren Legion to be troubled.
The wolf cavalry legions of the Condor Empire are all equipped with hand crossbows specially made for werewolf fighters, giving them a certain range of long-range attack capabilities.
The power of the hand crossbow certainly cannot pose too much threat to the tauren heavy infantry, but whenever the wolf cavalry approached and attacked with the crossbow, the tauren fighters had to raise their shields to defend.
Because the Tauren warriors must protect their exposed body parts, otherwise if Liu Shi is shot in the eye, they will basically be half of them.
And Wolf Wudi led the wolf cavalry to harass the tauren army, he didn’t even think about it to damage it, he just wanted to slow down the tauren heavy infantry army.
Being so constantly harassed by the Wolf Cavalry Legion of the Condor Empire, the speed of the Tauren Heavy Infantry Legion can be imagined.
The official road distance between Zhengzhou and Xuchang is about 100 kilometers.
More than one hundred kilometers is more than two days for an army with outstanding endurance.
However, under the harassment of the Shenying Empire wolf cavalry, Lu Chenguang and the others were forced to camp after walking less than 30 kilometers on the first day.
If the strength of the wolf cavalry during the day is the same thing, then after night, Lu Chenguang and the tauren soldiers under his command finally saw the most terrifying side of the wolf cavalry.
As the sky darkened completely, countless green eyes and howling waves of wolves immediately appeared around the camp where Lu Chenguang was located.
The Wolf Cavalry Legion of the Condor Empire surrounded the Tauren Legion’s camp, constantly looking for flaws in the camp.
Looking at the countless pairs of penetrating green eyes on the periphery of the camp, Lu Chenguang and Shui Ruyan thought that this was the wolf cavalry army during the day, but they did not know that Wolf Wudi had already taken the wolf cavalry during the day a few kilometers away. Rest in the temporary camp.
This temporary camp was temporarily constructed by a centaur army and some centaur civilians.
In the winter offensive launched by the Condor Empire this time, Ning Yuan not only recruited a large number of centaur fighters, but also a lot of centaur civilians.
After fighting for so many years, it is of course impossible for Ning Yuan to not know the importance of logistics.
Before the start of the winter offensive, he had already thought of the logistical difficulties.
If it is a normal confrontation between the two armies, then he can calmly arrange the logistics department for supplies.
But if the wolf cavalry corps is like the wolf cavalry army to fight deeply in the enemy’s rear, then their logistics supply will be a certain degree of difficulty.
Because the werewolf warriors can rely on the war to get enough food, but it is difficult to feed the meat-only wolves to fill their stomachs.
The Condor Army dispatched so many wolf cavalry this time. Hundreds of thousands of wolves consume a lot of meat or hide in animals every day, and they can’t sustain it for a few days by fighting.
And the actions of the wolf cavalry belonged to deep fighting behind enemy lines. They have no fixed place. They may go wherever the enemy is, so it is quite difficult to supply them.
After some careful thinking, Ning Yuan thought of the Centaur~www.mtlnovel.com~ The biggest feature of the Centaur family is mobility and hardly any logistical supplies in a short time.
Because they can carry a large amount of food with them every time they go out, and at most, they can carry a few months’ worth of food at a time.
This feature is very suitable for transporting logistical supplies to wolf cavalry running around following the enemy.
Of course, the soldiers of the Centaur still need to participate in the war, and it is impossible for Ning Yuan to let them engage in logistics and transportation full-time.
So Ning Yuan conscripted a large number of centaur civilians to be responsible for transporting frozen meat to the wolf cavalry on the front line.
The logistics transport team of the Condor Empire put all the meat for the wolf cavalry army in one place, and then the centaur army protected the centaur transport team and transported the frozen meat to the area where each wolf cavalry army was active.
This is the biggest secret of the Wolf Cavalry Corps of the Condor Empire being able to spread across the entire Eastern Henan Plain, and it is also a question that the top leaders of the Northern Expedition Alliance are puzzled by.
