Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 1356 Winter War Song (32)

That night, Ning Yuan did not send anyone to harass Li Yufeng’s army who had settled in Shangtun Township, so that the other party had a rare good night’s sleep.

Early the next morning, after the army ate the steaming horse stew, Li Yufeng immediately commanded the army to march southeast along the Huiji River.

Although the county seat of Suixian County was under his eyelids, and there were a lot of food, grass, and supplies, but Li Yufeng knew that once his 200,000 people entered, they would never be able to get out again, because of the Condor Army. They will definitely be frozen in the city in the same way.

The morale of the more than 200,000 people under his command was still not dispersed. Apart from the fact that they were all carefully selected elites, the main reason was that the threat from the Condor Army was always nearby.

This keeps them in a state of high mental stress, and they don’t have much time to think about it.

Once Li Yufeng led the army into the city and successfully broke the ice, the soldiers would definitely start thinking about it after they had gained temporary peace.

Although these soldiers can be counted as Li Yufeng’s direct line, their loyalty to him is very high.

But in such a bad situation, people’s hearts will gradually change.

Under the influence of disappointment, anxiety, homesickness and other pessimism, more and more soldiers will definitely feel dissatisfied with Li Yufeng, because Li Yufeng brought them into this desperate situation.

So if Li Yufeng wants to minimize the chances of the soldiers thinking about them, he must keep them in that sense of tension.

Entering the county seat of Suixian County, there must be ten deaths and no lives. It is estimated that they will soon be gathered by the Condor Army to bury them in the city.

Although it will be very hard to continue wandering in the wild, and it will basically be a lifetime of nine deaths, but this way, at least in theory, there is still a trace of hope of escape.

Li Yufeng likes to take the initiative in his own hands. Even if he loses, he must take the initiative instead of waiting passively for the enemy to solve them.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons of the night, Li Yufeng finally gave up his plan to enter Suixian County to break the ice, and instead chose to continue dealing with the Condor Army in the wild.

……

Ning Yuan was not at all surprised that Li Yufeng would choose to lead the army to march southeast along the Huiji River, because he had already inferred from various signs what choice Li Yufeng would make.

After losing all his horses, Li Yufeng’s current choice is either to enter Suixian county town immediately to break the ice, and then defend the city after breaking the ice.

Either continue to play wilderness survival in the wild and compete patiently with the Condor Army to see if they freeze to death first, or the Condor Army can’t bear to take the initiative to attack them.

Entering the county town of Sui County to break the ice, although they can get the food and heating materials stored in the city after success, it is equivalent to walking directly into the cage.

When they were breaking the ice, the Condor Army had enough time to deploy troops to trap them in the city, and then the scene where the defenders were frozen in the city will be staged here again.

Therefore, as long as Li Yufeng still has such a thought of survival in his heart, he will not bring the army into Sui County to wait for death.

If Li Yufeng chooses not to enter Suixian County in the end, then he can only continue to fight guerrilla warfare with the Condor Army in the wild.

In this cold winter, Li Yufeng wants to lead his army to fight with the Condor Army in the wild, so he must do two things, otherwise he and his army will freeze to death without the Condor Army. Cold winter night.The first thing is to solve the food problem.

People are iron rice or steel, so they panic when they don’t eat a meal.

After slaughtering all the horses, the food problem was temporarily solved, at least in a short time, they don’t have to worry about the food problem.

The second thing is to solve the problem of heating the army.

Continuous marching in the wild in sub-zero temperatures is a very severe test for the 200,000-plus army under Li Yufeng’s command.

The lower the temperature, the greater the consumption of soldiers.

In addition to relying on food to obtain a certain amount of calories, soldiers also need to drink some hot water or hot soup from time to time to drive away the cold.

And this is only in the daytime.

After the night, the temperature will drop further.

Although the soldiers can withstand a certain amount of cold when huddled together, this alone is not enough.

Without the equipment for tents and camping in the wild, if there is no warm fire for soldiers, then many people may not be able to wake up again after sleeping.

Therefore, when there is no shortage of food for the time being, Li Yufeng must find a way to find enough combustibles during the day so that the soldiers can drink hot soup regularly and be able to keep warm by roasting at night.

Under the tactics of the Condor Army, it is impossible for Li Yufeng to get enough firewood to keep out the cold at one time like yesterday.

Therefore, he must collect enough firewood through the march during the day so that the army can survive another cold night.

To collect enough firewood, they must find some bushes.

The Condor Army can ignite the villages and towns along the way, but cannot ignite all the bushes along the way, because when the ground is covered with snow everywhere, even if the bare trees are ignited, the fire can hardly spread to the surroundings.

As for the Condor Army going directly in front of them, cutting down all the bushes before they arrived, and letting them return without success, it is even more impossible.

Because in the cold winter, not only their consumption is very high, but also the orc warriors of the Condor Army.

Compared with them, the orc warriors are more resistant to freezing, but this is achieved by ingesting a lot of food.

In such cold weather, just marching in the wild is already a very difficult thing. If the centaur warriors are allowed to run around to cut down the woods, it is estimated that they will not have much strength to fight again.

With Ning Yuan’s current level of shrewdness, it is impossible for him to risk overwork the centaur fighters to do such stupid things, so as long as the luck doesn’t get home, they can always find some bushes or groves. of.

The reason why Li Yufeng’s army went south was not to go in the other direction.

In addition to the unknown number of Condor troops stationed in those three directions, they were able to enter the territory of Anhui because they had walked more than 100 kilometers to the south.

Although Anhui is now part of the Shenying Empire in name, it has been in a state of desolation in fact.

After a large number of people have passed away, except for some major cities, most places in Anhui have been turned into wilderness.

Anhui is known as the land of fish and rice, and the ecological resources there are very rich.

As the villagers in the wild go to empty houses and the fields in the wild are no one heavier, it has become a paradise for wild animals. There are bushes overgrown with wild grass everywhere, and various animals are as numerous as cow’s hair.

As long as they can successfully enter the territory of Anhui along the Huiji River, not only the food and firewood problems can be solved, but maybe they can also take the opportunity to turn to Dabie Mountain, and then escape from Dabie Mountain to the sky.

With the passage into the Nanyang Basin already blocked by the Condor Army, for Li Yufeng, entering Dabie Mountain was already his only chance of escape.

Although the road from Shangtun Township to Dabie Mountain is full of difficulties and deaths, it is better than seeing no hope.

Even if these two hundred thousand people, Li Yufeng, could only bring back ten thousand people alive, he would definitely be willing to fight for it all at once. After all, such elite soldiers are very precious.

Like Li Yufeng, Ning Yuan studied the map carefully for one night.

He completely brought himself into the role of Li Yufeng, and then found the only way to escape from birth in theory.

……

There is a place called Niuji Town in the northwest of Bozhou.

Niuji Town is located at the junction of Henan and Anhui. The land there is very fertile. It was originally a big agricultural town.

However, with the advent of the war, the people in Niuji Town fled to other places in order to avoid the chaos of the war, and then Niuji Town gradually became a paradise for wild animals.

The abandoned Niuji Town is full of grasses and messy bushes everywhere.

With the advent of winter, now Niuji Town is full of dry grasses and various trees with all their leaves. You can see some pheasants, hares, wild boars and other animals from time to time in the forest and in the wild.

When Li Yufeng’s army arrived in Niuji Town after two days of hard trek, the soldiers who had become a little numb finally showed a smile.

Looking at the overgrown wilderness in front of them, looking at the abandoned houses with trees growing on their roofs, looking at the various small animals who hadn’t realized that the god of death had come, they rushed over in excitement.

This time, without Li Yufeng’s order, the soldiers had already started searching every place in Niuji Town.

Whether it is grass, trees or various animals, as long as it can be ignited and eaten into the stomach, they will never let it go.

As the main force entered Niuji Town one after another, the sky above Niuji Town was filled with smoke, and all kinds of meat aromas could be smelled far away.

“Enjoy the commander, after careful investigation, Niuji Town is currently very safe.

There are not only a lot of hay and trees, but also many wild peppers, cotton, tobacco, wheat, rice and other crops. It seems that these things have been planted here before.

In addition to these crops, we also found several abandoned fish ponds nearby. After digging the ice, we found that there were a lot of live fish in them. I have organized some soldiers to go to the fish ponds and nearby rivers to fish for fish. NS.

By the way, Niuji Town is simply a paradise for wild animals, with pheasants, hares and wild boars everywhere.

Although these wild animals are a little insignificant for our 200,000 army, they are enough for the soldiers to improve their food.Commander, this Niuji town is really good. Should we take a rest here? ”

After Li Yufeng entered Niuji Town, Li Kun, as the vanguard officer, rushed to report immediately.

After reporting the basic situation of Niuji Town, Li Kun looked at Li Yufeng hopefully, hoping that he could order the army to repair here one more day.

The two consecutive days of rushing left everyone including Li Kun very tired.

In the daytime, they not only have to always guard against the sneak attack by the Centaur of the Condor Army that has been following them, but also look for firewood to burn.

In the process of collecting firewood, let alone a branch, even if they saw a piece of hay, they would immediately run over to collect it.

When have they done this kind of thing before!

When in Hubei, they were Li Tang’s most elite army. They were the best in food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Every day, there would be a dedicated person to prepare everything for them.

But now they not only have to endure hunger, but also go to gather firewood everywhere.

In order to pick up enough firewood for the night, they stared straight ahead all day, for fear of missing a dead branch or a dead grass on the ground.

Even if their eyes are sore, they dare not relax for a moment, because a dead branch is likely to determine the life and death of several people.

It can be said that their experience in the past two days is simply a nightmare.

Although the Niuji Town where they are currently located has been abandoned for a long time, for them who have experienced the torture of the previous two days, Niuji Town is simply a place of paradise.

In Niuji Town, there are not only abandoned houses that can shelter them from gusts of wind and rain, but also enough firewood for them to survive the cold winter nights, as well as a variety of game and river food to temporarily relieve their hunger.

You must know these things before today, but they dare not even think about it, so this place is heaven for them.

Glancing at Li Kun with a haggard face and shaggy beard, Li Yufeng sighed lightly: “According to our military order, the army will rest in Niuji Town for a day, and Houtian will set off.

Tell the officers of each army to let them do their defensive work and try to provide the soldiers with a comfortable resting environment.

Also, those pheasants, hares, wild boars, and all kinds of fresh fish that have been brought in are no longer allowed to be enjoyed alone.

Collect all the gains, and then evenly distribute them to each army, let the chefs use it to stew the soup, and let everyone try it.

Except for the army on duty, everyone else can have a good night’s rest today.

Tomorrow morning, you lead everyone to cut down all the trees in Niuji Town and collect all the things that can be used. Houtian will pack all of them in the morning.

By the way, other foods can be eaten by the soldiers at will, that is, the dried chili must be left alone.

Now it is estimated that our intention has been completely exposed. Next, Ning Yuan will definitely not let us have such a good life as today, so we have to take the opportunity to store more cold-proof supplies. ”

“Understand, I will go and make arrangements.”

After nodding towards Li Yufeng, Li Kun ran away with a look of excitement.
