Online Games Barbarism and Civilization
Vol 2 Chapter 738: , New situation
The terrain where Hancheng is located belongs to the alluvial plain of the Yellow River, with the majestic Huanglong Mountain to the west, and long and narrow plains from the north to the south. It is a typical terrain with mountains on one side and plains on three sides.
After the cavalry regiment of the Demon Alliance was blocked on their return journey, the only direction they could escape was to the north.
When the demon army occupied the Hancheng area, they only built a defensive position for the fortress group on the east to target the Condor Army. In the north and south, they just built simple trench defenses.
After Ning Yuan captured the Hancheng area, in order to implement the tactics of encircling the spot and fighting aid, he built a fortress group on the south side of Hancheng the same as the east side, while maintaining the original state on the north side.
In order to facilitate passage, Ning Yuan just ordered people to fill in a few passages in the north. As for the trenches dug by the demon army, it is still the same as before.
When Sun Qi led the cavalry regiment all the way to the north, he was immediately blocked by the wide and steep trench in front of him.
After seeing ape-man warriors with spears and huge shields standing on the only passages that could pass, Sun Qi suddenly felt a little black in front of him, and almost fell directly from the war horse.
After taking a deep breath and stabilizing his figure, Sun Qi glanced at the fortresses to the east and the base camp of the Condor Army to the south, then shook his head helplessly.
Neither the difficult barbarian army nor the ape-man army ambushing in the fortress group did not catch up at this moment.
After Sun Qi led the cavalry regiment to flee north, the two armies all returned to their previous posts, leaving no chance for Sun Qi's cavalry regiment.
"Hey."
After looking up at the sky again, Sun Qi sighed helplessly, and then resolutely led the cavalry regiment to the west Huanglong Mountain.
Although the Condor Army stationed in the Hancheng area had no good way to use the cavalry corps with high mobility, after Sun Qi led the human cavalry through the east fortress group, their fate was already doomed.
After the ape-man warriors led by Shishiba used a tripma to block Sun Qi and their retreat, they could only retreat to the south or north.
To the south, they will pass by the base camp of the Condor Army.
The passage is too close to the base camp of the Condor Army. If the Condor Army also deploys heavy infantry to the south, then they are likely to be dumped by the Condor Army.
Sun Qi did not dare to risk the lives of tens of thousands of cavalry, so he could only choose to go north.
And after the passage to the north was blocked by the Condor Army, they were immediately trapped in the encirclement set by the Condor Army.
Although this encirclement is very huge, without enough troops, the Condor Army can't really besie them.
But after several Condor Armies all held their positions, Sun Qi and the others had actually lost completely.
Because it is a cold winter, the temperature will drop sharply at night, and the cavalry regiment led by Sun Qi just brought some dry food and fresh water with him, but no other supplies.
In addition, all members of this cavalry are human knights, they are not good at night fighting, but the Condor Army has a large number of orc warriors in the formation.
If they continue to stay in the encirclement, they are likely to die from cold weather or a sneak attack by orc warriors.
So after discovering that there was no opportunity to take advantage of, Sun Qi had to lead the remaining cavalry to choose to enter the mountain.
Although the environment in the mountains is even worse, and many people may not be able to go out again after entering, but at least there is still a ray of life there. They can find wood in the mountains that can be used for heating, so as to avoid the destruction of the entire army.
In the cold north, the winter days are very short, and as long as the afternoon comes, it is not far from darkness.
As a native of the north, Sun Qi knew very well the horror after dark, so he decided to enter the mountain after discovering that he had fallen into the encirclement of the Condor Army.
Because if you can't find enough dry wood and a hiding place to hide from the cold wind before dark, few of them, tens of thousands, can live to see the sun the next day.
......
When the Terran Cavalry led by Sun Qi was forced into desperation by the ambush of the Condor Army, the dwarf Rock Sheep Knights led by Sousa Warhammer successfully intercepted the demon legion led by Diop at the periphery of the eastern fortress group.
Facing the dwarf rock sheep knight army that suddenly appeared in front of the army, Diop didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and then set up a defensive position on the spot.
Seeing that the demon army's defensive formation was impervious, Sousa Warhammer did not dare to launch an offensive rashly. He just ordered the dwarf rock sheep knights to wander around the periphery of the enemy's defense line, waiting for the enemy to chaos.
However, the Dior Prudential Army is strict, no matter how provocative the dwarven knights, the demon warriors are not moved.
So after the enemy and us could not find any flaws in the opponent, the two armies confronted each other.
When the Terran Cavalry Regiment led by Sun Qi hadn't moved for a long time, Diop guessed that something was wrong with Sun Qi.
After looking at the sky and weighing the gains and losses, Diop immediately sent a quick horse to break through to the rear to urgently ask for help.
When Diop sent a messenger to the base camp of the Demon Alliance, the battle on the southern front was coming to an end.
After learning that Sun Qi's cavalry regiment had lost news, and that Diop's demon legion was entangled by the dwarf rock sheep knights of the Condor Army, Daniels immediately sent a demon legion to meet Diop.
Facing two demon armies that would successfully join together, and seeing the enemy's orderly retreat formation, Sosa Warhammer knew that today was destined to return empty-handed.
Although he was very unwilling to let the enemy go like this, but the Condor Army's strategic policy in the winter has become a defensive counterattack.
Without any support, the dwarf sharsh cavalry regiment under him could not eat such a large number of enemies.
Moreover, if he rushed forward, his cavalry regiment would suffer heavy losses, so he could only helplessly watch the enemy go away.
As the sky gradually darkened, the soldiers of both sides who had been fighting for a day returned to their warm base camp.
In this battle, more than 200,000 players from the two Tamron Legions lost a total of 130,000 people, which can be described as heavy casualties. However, compared with the casualties of the Demon Alliance, the number of casualties on the Condor Army side is still acceptable.
In this battle, the 500,000 player army of the demon coalition only fled more than 80,000 people. The demon leader Okafor not only died on the spot, but the demon army he led suffered more than half of the casualties.
Coupled with the 100,000 cavalrymen who have not heard from them, the number of the Demon Alliance's army has shrunk by more than half.
Now Daniels has only 400,000 demon infantry and 80,000 player remnants left under his hands, and the gap in strength between the enemy and us has basically been wiped out.
It is no longer a question of whether the Demon Alliance can successfully recover Hancheng, but whether they can withdraw safely.
If Hancheng's Condor Army refuses to let them go easily, after losing the only cavalry corps, it is hard to say how much their remaining more than 500,000 infantry can withdraw.
Because the dwarf spartan cavalry regiment of the Condor Army can go to their flanks or front to harass them at any time, but they have no cavalry regiment that can compete with them.
......
"How long will it take to deploy reinforcements from the rear?"
After all the troops were withdrawn to base camp, Daniels immediately called an emergency military meeting overnight.
Once the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Daniels knew all about these military matters, but at this moment, he still asked them directly in the meeting.
"His Majesty, it's cold now, and a few heavy snowfalls have just happened a while ago. It is very inconvenient for land traffic, so it is impossible for reinforcements to arrive here without a month or two.
In a few months, the temperature will slowly rise, so Weichen thinks that we should withdraw to Heyang first, and then send an army to recover Hancheng after spring arrives. "
After hearing the overtones of Daniels, Diop immediately understood and proposed to withdraw the troops.
"Your Majesty, General Diop said that the demon warriors of our clan are very unsuitable for this kind of cold weather. In the cold winter, we can't exert our true strength at all. Therefore, the Minister thinks that we should wait for the temperature to rise again. Make a decisive battle with the enemy."
......
Many of these demons commanded by these people were once Daniels’ old men. They knew how powerful Daniels was, so after Daniels gave a hint, they all rushed to propose to withdraw troops first.
Looking at the understanding men, Daniels pretended to be meditating for a while, then sighed: "Hey, in that case, let's follow the opinions of several Aiqings. Tomorrow morning, the army will immediately pull out of the camp and all retreat. Heyang.
Diop, you lead a hundred thousand army in charge of the queen, and you must ensure the safety of the army behind. "
"Yes, Your Majesty, Diop will surely live up to your Majesty's trust and pledge to the death to cover the safe retreat of the army."
Hearing that Daniels sent his queen, Diop immediately got up and issued a military order.
......
The next day, before dawn, the Demon Alliance began to pull out the camp, and then the army began to retreat in the direction of Heyang.
When Ning Yuan learned that the Demon Alliance had begun to retreat, he immediately asked, "How many people have the enemy sent to the palace?"
"Your Majesty, there are about 100,000 people, all of whom are demon warriors.
General Sousa is now waiting for your order from your Majesty, please indicate whether to pursue the pursuit. "
"This cold weather, what is there to chase after? Go and tell Sousa and let him endure for a few more months in the barracks.
Well, inform other troops, stick to their defense zones, and recharge their energy. "
When Ning Yuan heard that Sosa wanted to chase the enemy, he immediately curled his mouth, and then cut off his thoughts.
It's freezing cold this day, and the last time the hut was cold enough, wouldn't the soldiers suffer if they took the initiative to fight out?
Now that the Condor Army’s winter strategic goal has been achieved, killing tens of thousands of demon warriors will not affect the overall situation.
So since the enemy took the initiative to retreat, Ning Yuan didn't want to have extra branches. He just wanted to spend this winter quietly.
......
"What? The Demon Alliance retreated?"
After hearing the news of the demon coalition's retreat, the Northern Expedition Alliance suddenly exploded.
"Daniels, this trash, doesn't he know that there is a problem with the logistics of the Condor Army?
If Hancheng's Condor Army cannot be driven back to the east of the Yellow River, when the temperature rises, what can he do to resist the Condor Army's iron cavalry?
This idiot, does he really think his army of demons is invincible? "
After learning about the anticlimax of the Demon Alliance, Dongfang Ming was immediately furious and couldn't help cursing.
"I asked a few players who participated in that battle, and Daniels can't be blamed for this matter.
The demon warriors under Daniels are brave enough. In order to break through the defense of the Condor Army, they have even used suicidal sharp-corner tactics.
But the savages under Ning Yuan were too powerful. Not only did the demon army suffered heavy losses, even a demon leader died on the spot.
It seems that the Condor Army has developed iron boxes that can fire many crossbow arrows at once. Those iron boxes directly smashed the fiercest attack of the Demon Alliance.
The Demon Alliance was still in a rush this time. They didn't even bring a trebuchet, and it made sense that they could not break the position carefully arranged by the Condor Army. "
Seeing Dongfang Ming's anger, Ye Ziqing shook his head helplessly, and then calmly analyzed.
"In fact, the demon army retreated to Heyang is a very correct choice.
After losing half of the army, they were no longer able to defeat the Hancheng Condor Army occupying a favorable geographical position.
To continue the offensive, Daniels must deploy reinforcements from the rear to the front.
Now the Shaanxi area is full of ice and snow, and transportation is very difficult. Therefore, instead of adding troops to the front now, it is better to wait until the spring flowers bloom. "
Murong Changfeng also fully understood the actions of the Demon Alliance.
"I also understand these principles, but the question now is when the spring blossoms, what will the Demon Race do to resist the massive iron cavalry of the Condor Empire?
You don’t know the topography of Guanzhong, there is simply a paradise for cavalry.
What if Ning Yuan used the same methods he used to deal with the Eagleshoe Empire to deal with Daniels? "
Seeing that several old friends were speaking for the demons, Dongfang Ming didn't want to argue with them, and directly raised the core issue.
"Now the Condor Army is trapped by logistical problems and the cold weather is unable to aggressively attack the Guanzhong area.
If it comes to spring, the cavalry regiments under him are indeed a big trouble.
Especially the centaur army, not only has a strong combat effectiveness, but also has a very strong endurance.
And the dwarf shale army ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can ignore a lot of terrain, which is also very troublesome.
If these cavalry infiltrate the rear of the demon army, the demon race is likely to be the next eagle hoof empire. "
After listening to the question raised by Dongfang Ming, Ma Tianming couldn't help but mutter to himself, but he said so loudly that everyone heard it clearly.
After hearing Ma Tianming's self-talk, all the senior officials of the Northern Expedition Alliance fell into contemplation.
Seeing everyone frowning, Ye Ziqing finally chose to speak after hesitating for a moment: "Everyone, after being unable to drive Hancheng's Condor Army back to the east of the Yellow River, the future of the demons is very uncertain. .
Facing the Condor Empire where the cavalry has an absolute advantage, it is difficult for us to come up with a solution.
So I think we should not hang on a tree, it is time to find a stronger opponent for Ning Yuan. "
