Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 742

The terrain where Hancheng is located belongs to the Yellow River alluvial plain, with the majestic Yellow Dragon 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 Devil Allied cavalry regiment was blocked from returning, the only direction they could escape was to the north.

When the Devil 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 carry out the tactics of encircling 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 the passage, Ning Yuan just ordered people to fill in a few passages in the north. As for the trenches dug by the Devil 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 can pass, Sun Qi suddenly felt a little dark 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 in the south, and then shook his head helplessly.

Whether it was the difficult army of barbarians or the ape-man army ambushing in the fortress group, none of them caught 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 opportunity 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 toward the Yellow Dragon Mountain in the west.

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 Terran 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 in the south, then they are likely to be made dumplings 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 ground, 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.

Therefore, 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, many people may not be able to go out anymore 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. 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 Devil legion led by Diop at the outskirts 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 Devil Legion’s defensive formation was airtight, Souza Warhammer did not dare to launch an offensive rashly. He just ordered the dwarf rock sheep knights to walk around the periphery of the enemy’s defense line non-stop, waiting for the enemy to chaos.

However, the Dior Prudential Army is strict, no matter how provocative the dwarven knights, the Devil warriors are unmoved.

So after the enemy and us could not find any flaws in the opponent, the two armies confronted each other in this way.

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 Devil coalition forces, the battle on the southern front was coming to an end.

After learning that Sun Qi’s cavalry regiment had lost the news, and Diop’s Devil regiment was entangled by the Condor Army’s dwarf Rock Sheep Knights, Daniels immediately dispatched a Devil regiment to meet Diop.

Facing the two successful Devil armies that will come together, and seeing the enemy’s orderly retreat formation, Sousa 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 from both sides who had fought hard for a day returned to their warm base camp.

In this battle, the two Tenglong legions of more than 200,000 players killed 130,000 in total, which can be described as heavy casualties, but compared with the casualties of the Devil coalition forces, the number of casualties on the Condor Army side is still acceptable.

In this battle, the 500,000 player army of the Devil coalition only fled back to more than 80,000 people. The Devil commander Okafor not only died on the spot, but the Devil army he led suffered more than half of the casualties.

With the addition of the 100,000 cavalry who had no news, the number of the Devil coalition army had shrunk by more than half.

Now Daniels has only 400,000 Devil infantry and 80,000 player remnants left under his hand. The gap between the enemy and us in terms of strength has basically been wiped out.

It is no longer a question of whether the Devil coalition forces can successfully regain Hancheng, but whether they can withdraw safely.

If Hancheng’s Condor Army refused to let them go easily, after losing the only cavalry corps, it would be hard to say how much their remaining more than 500,000 infantry could 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 don’t have a 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 believes that we should withdraw to Heyang first, and then send an army to recover Hancheng when spring arrives. ”

After hearing the overtones of Daniels, Diop immediately understood and proposed to withdraw the troops.

“Your Majesty, General Diop said that the Devil soldiers of our clan are very unsuited to this cold weather. In the cold winter, we can’t exert our real strength at all. Therefore, the Weichen thinks that we should wait for the temperature to rise again. Make a decisive battle with the enemy.”

……

Many of the current Devil leaders were once Daniels’ old subordinates. 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, and 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 an army of 100,000 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 Devil coalition army began to pull out of camp, and then the army began to retreat in the direction of Heyang.

When Ning Yuan learned that Devil’s coalition forces had begun to retreat, he immediately asked, “How many people did the enemy send?”

“Your Majesty, there are about 100,000 people, all Devil fighters.

Now General Sosa is waiting for your order from your Majesty, please instruct your Majesty whether or not to pursue the pursuit. ”

“This cold weather, what is there to chase, you go and tell Sousa, let him tolerate me in the barracks for a few months.

Well, inform the other troops, stick to their own defense zone, and recharge their energy. ”

When Ning Yuan heard that Sosa wanted to chase the enemy, he immediately curled his mouth, and then cut off the opponent’s thoughts.

It was freezing cold this day, and the last time the hut was cold enough, didn’t the soldiers take the initiative to fight them out?

Now that the Condor Army’s winter strategic goal has been achieved, killing tens of thousands of Devil soldiers will not affect the overall situation.

So since the enemy took the initiative to retreat, Ning Yuan didn’t want to have any extra branches. He just wanted to spend this winter quietly.

……

“What? The Devil coalition retreated?”

After hearing the news of the retreat of the Devil coalition forces, the Northern Expedition Alliance suddenly exploded.

“Daniels is a 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, and when the temperature rises, what can he use to resist the Condor Army’s iron cavalry?This idiot, does he really think his army of Devil is invincible? ”

After learning about the anticlimax of the Devil coalition forces, Dongfang Ming was immediately furious and couldn’t help but cursed.

“I asked a few players who participated in that battle, and Daniels can’t be blamed for this matter.

The Devil fighters under Daniels are already brave enough. In order to break through the defense of the Condor Army, they have even used suicidal sharp-corner tactics.

But the barbarians under Ning Yuan were too powerful. Not only did Devil’s army suffered heavy losses, even a Devil commander was killed on the spot.

It seems that the Condor Army has developed a tin box that can fire a lot of crossbow arrows at once. Those tin boxes directly shattered the most ferocious attack of the Devil coalition.

The Devil coalition 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 Devil army retreated to Heyang was a very correct choice.

After losing half of their 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, it is better to wait until the spring flowers bloom before taking action. ”

Murong Changfeng also fully understood the actions of the Devil coalition forces.

“I also understand these principles, but the question now is when the spring blossoms, what will the Devil clan use to resist the massive iron cavalry of the Condor Empire?

It’s not that 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 Devil clan, Dongfang Ming didn’t want to argue with them, and directly raised the core issue.

“Now the Condor Army is stuck in logistical problems and the cold weather is unable to attack the Guanzhong area on a large scale.

If it comes to spring, the cavalry regiments under his hands are indeed a big trouble.

Especially the centaur army, not only has a strong combat effectiveness, but also has a very strong endurance capability.

There is also the dwarf shale sheep army, which can ignore a lot of terrain, which is also very troublesome.

If these cavalry infiltrate the rear of the Devil army, the Devil clan 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 while: “Everyone, after being unable to drive Hancheng’s Condor Army back to the east of the Yellow River, the future of the Devil clan is very uncertain. .

In the face of the Condor Empire where the cavalry has an absolute advantage, it is difficult for us to come up with any solution.

So I think we shouldn’t hang on a tree, it’s time to find a stronger opponent for Ning Yuan. ”
