Chapter 1085, Analysis of Little Ghost Valley (two in one)
Although Li Yufeng was still not very harmonious with the major guilds in the Huaxia District represented by Ye Ziqing and others after joining the Northern Expedition Alliance, even if there is a great conflict between them, he still understands the principle of losing his lips and cold teeth.
Once the Henan area guarded by Ye Ziqing and others falls completely, then he and Zhao Guangfu's Hubei will face the destiny of the Condor Heroes.
So until the threat from the Condor Hero Empire was completely resolved, he would never turn against Ye Ziqing and others.
As a member of the Northern Expedition Alliance, he is in a relationship with Ye Ziqing and others, and he is in a relationship with both prospering and losing. Therefore, when facing the Condor Empire, he will not only not turn against Ye Ziqing and others, but will also strive to maintain the interests of the entire Northern Expedition Alliance.
Now Ye Ziqing and others are all on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and only Shui Ruyan is left in the Henan nest.
Although Shui Ruyan’s Shuiyun Pavilion is also one of the top ten guilds in Huaxia District, as the president of Shuiyun Pavilion, she also has excellent leadership skills.
But she was just a female person after all, and when it comes to marching and fighting, she was still much inferior to Dongfang Ming and others.
Sometimes the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If the supreme commander who is leading the three armies is hesitant, he will probably miss the best fighter plane and cause immeasurable losses.
Li Yufeng was worried that Shui Ruyan would struggle when facing the battle-torn Eagle Army, so he had to analyze the real main attack point of the Condor Heroes this time. Only by understanding the true intentions of the Condor Heroes can they make the most correct response.
With the current national strength of the Condor Heroes, they cannot maintain the millions of troops on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau while launching a comprehensive attack on Hubei and Henan.
Therefore, their real main attack direction should be only one way, and the attacks in other places are all feints, in order to disrupt one's attention and cover up the real main attack point along the way.
After eliminating the two routes of the Condor Heroes in Hangu Pass and Shangnan County, according to the current performance of the Condor Heroes, the one they most likely to attack was the Hubei area guarded by themselves and Zhao Guangfu.
Whether it was the Condor Heroes that forcibly landed from the north bank of Yichang or the Condor Heroes Air Force led by Ning Yuan himself, Li Yufeng felt that Ning Yuan really wanted to take over the entire Hubei region in one go this time.
But when he learned that the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan did not capture the Trail Bay Town located in the north of Baokang County, he always felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if the Condor Air Force had deliberately not captured there.
The Condor Heroes had planned secretly for so long, so it was absolutely impossible for them to know the importance of Tranquowan Town, a transportation hub connecting Zhuxi County and the Hubei Plain.
As long as the Condor Heroes captured Trailwan Town, the troops stationed in Zhuxi County, Zhushan County and Fang County will immediately become turtles in the jar.
After the logistics supply line was cut off, the troops stationed in those three counties would soon be in a crisis of food cuts.
If the Northern Expedition Alliance cannot regain the Town of Transdom Bay in a short time, then the Northern Expedition Alliance troops stationed in those three counties will definitely be defeated without attack.
After losing the elite troops of those three counties, their side would definitely be seriously injured. At that time, facing the Condor Heroes Army that invaded the Hubei Plain, they would have to huddle in the city to defend passively.
For the Northern Expedition Army stationed in Hubei, Transition Bay Town is definitely a major city with the lifeline.
So Li Yufeng really couldn't understand why Ning Yuan led the main force of the Condor Air Force to attack Nanzhang County, which was relatively less important.
For the more important Transition Bay Town, he only sent a small Condor Air Force, and after the first failure, he gave up his next attack there.
Any player with a little brain can see how important it is in Transdom Bay Town. Ning Yuan fought for so long, even if his mind is simple, he shouldn't be able to see it, let alone he has so many indigenous think tanks and player think tanks under his command.
Ning Yuan alone could not imagine that there was a slight slight possibility, but it was absolutely impossible for so many people to imagine.
So Li Yufeng always felt that there must be any conspiracy in the Condor Heroes Army that did not capture Trail Bay Town.
If the Dashi Kingdom sent a large army of 200,000 elite orcs to attack Henan, then this Transition Bay Town is likely to be left by Ning Yuan to deliberately confuse his own vision.
Although there are not many troops of 200,000, the army of 200,000 elite orcs in the Dashi Kingdom is by no means a joke.
If they do not have an army that can resist those elite orcs head-on, then the 200,000 orcs army will be enough to turn the entire Henan region upside down.
The reason why they were able to defeat the orc army in the Dashi Kingdom last time was mainly to take advantage of the opponent's careless weakness and separate the opponent's wolf cavalry legion and the bear man heavy infantry legion.
Then, with the heavy cavalry army he pieced together and the divine arm bow with extremely lethality against light armor, he severely damaged the enemy's wolf cavalry legion.
After suffering a big loss last time, the Dashi Kingdom will definitely not give it another chance to defeat each other this time. Therefore, compared with the Condor Heroes Army, which has multiple troops, Li Yufeng still believes that the 200,000 elite orc army of the Dashi Kingdom will be more difficult to crack.
Even though Ning Yuan is now leading more than 100,000 Condor Air Forces in Nanzhang County, not far from Xiangyang, the mermaid army of the Condor Army has successfully landed on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the Yichang section, Li Yufeng still feels it.
That is, all military operations launched by the Condor Heroes are actually feint attacks. The purpose is to restrain their own troops as much as possible and cover the 200,000 elite orc army of the Dashi Kingdom. That is, the orc army of the Dashi Kingdom is the real main attack army this time.
On the surface, there were only some robber cavalry on the way of the orc army in the Dashi Kingdom, and it should be the least powerful one.
On the Hubei side, the Condor Heroes Army was linked to the three armies of water, land and air, showing great determination and the largest army was dispatched.
However, if you carefully analyze the terrain of the two regions, it is not difficult to find that it is much more difficult to capture Hubei than to capture Henan.
There are tall mountains to the west of Hubei. Except for the Flying Corps, other armies can basically only sigh at the mountains.
The plains of Hubei are densely filled with waterways and rivers and lakes. For the army that is used to fighting in the northern region, it is very unfriendly.
Now the plum rain season in Hubei is approaching, and many low-lying places will become vast oceans, and the troops coming from the north will be even more difficult to move forward.
Although the Condor Army has a mermaid army that can fight in the water, the mermaid army's ability to attack is limited. With the mermaid army alone, it is impossible for them to break through some of their strong cities. If they want to attack the city, they still have to dispatch those ground legions who are good at attacking the city.
As for the dragon warriors who were hidden by Ning Yuanxue, their ability to travel clouds and rain in the plum rain season in Hubei is definitely a slight witch.
All cities in Hubei are built in relatively high terrain that cannot be reached by floods. Each city has an excellent drainage system.
Those cities are not afraid of heavy rainstorms that can last for several days and nights, let alone the dragon warrior's ability to travel clouds and rain, which is obviously much inferior.
The rainy weather and dense rivers here in Hubei, coupled with the Han River that divides the Han River from north to south, and the Dahong Mountain in the middle of the Han River Plain and the low hills and hills in northeast Hubei to the east of Hubei. It is not realistic at all to conquer Hubei during the rainy summer season.
When Yu Jin led a large army to support Cao Ren, it was because the Han River overflowed and was trapped on the high ground by the flood, which gave Guan Yu the chance to defeat him.
I heard that Ning Yuan is a true Three Kingdoms fan, and his idol is Boss Cao. Logically, he shouldn't have no idea how terrible the floods in Hubei are in the summer. Isn't he afraid that he will fight for both sides and dig up the river embankment and flood the seven armies?
No matter how you analyze it, summer is not a good season to attack Hubei. If Ning Yuan really wants to attack Hubei, he should choose to attack in winter.
Because the temperature in Hubei is not very low in winter and the rain is not much, it is very suitable for marching and fighting in this season.
The Henan area adjacent to Hubei is exactly the opposite.
Except for the mountainous areas and Nanyang Basin located west of Zhengzhou, most of the eastern part of Henan are flat plains.
The orc army of Dashi Kingdom attacked from the east. Before they arrived in Zhengzhou, there were endless plains in front of them. Apart from the city, the Northern Expedition Alliance had no danger there.
Although the rainy season in Henan is about to enter, there is still a certain gap between the rainy season there and the Hubei region.
Moreover, orcs have always been known for their hardships. As long as the rivers are not flooded, some rain cannot stop them from moving forward. Rainy night raids are the best attack method that the orc army is good at.
Faced with the army of 200,000 orcs that invaded Henan, if the troops stationed there were unable to resist the orcs' attacks in the field, they could only choose to turtles to retreat into cities and defend themselves.
Although the army of the Northern Expedition Alliance can use the advantages of the city wall to consume a large amount of the living power of the Orc army, if the orc army chooses to encircle and not attack, once the food and grass stored in the city is exhausted, the Northern Expedition Alliance army in the city can only take the initiative to fight out.
In this way, although they delayed for a long time, they still found it difficult to escape the destruction of the entire army, which was also extremely unfavorable to the Northern Expedition Alliance, which was increasingly smaller and smaller.
Henan ranks second in the arable land area in China, it is one of the important grain producing areas in China and one of the important grain producing areas of the Northern Expedition Alliance.
After losing Anhui and Jiangsu, the Northern Expedition Alliance was left with only Henan and Hubei north of the Yangtze River. If the eastern Henan plain in eastern Henan was lost, they would never be able to hold on for too long with a lonely Hubei facing the fierce attack of the Condor Empire.
Therefore, the real intention of the Condor Heroes this time is likely to be to attack the eastern Henan Plain in eastern Henan while the main force of the Northern Expedition Alliance is absent.
Even if they cannot capture the eastern Henan Plain in a short period of time, as long as the entire eastern Henan Plain is put into war, their goal can be achieved.
Because the Northern Expedition Alliance must not lose this important production area, the eastern Henan Plain, they now urgently need the grain output of the eastern Henan Plain this year.
Once the eastern Henan Plain is out of production this year, after the Yangtze River waterway is cut off by the Condor Army, they will definitely not be able to support the troops in Henan and Hubei when they are close to Hubei.
Therefore, all the offensives launched by the Condor Heroes this time are likely to be fake. The purpose is to restrain the troops located in various places of the Northern Expedition Alliance. They have only one real purpose, that is, to occupy the eastern Henan plain, or to make the eastern Henan plains produce no production this year.
What the robber cavalry who came from Anhui area are doing now further proves this.
They neither fought head-on with the army of the Northern Expedition Alliance nor conquered cities and land. Their purpose was very clear from the beginning, that is, to grab population, livestock, food, and everything that could be taken away.
Now because of their robbery, many villages and towns in the southern part of the eastern Henan Plain have been empty, and there are broken walls burned into ruins everywhere.
Nowadays, even wild cats and dogs are not visible.
If the robbers and cavalry were allowed to continue so unscrupulously, it would probably not take long before the entire eastern Henan plain would be ruined by them.
Judging from the performance of Shui Ruyan and others who were in charge of Zhengzhou, they seemed to have not yet realized the terrifying destructive power of the robbers and cavalrymen, or they were aware of it but were powerless.
Because facing the attack of the 200,000 elite orc army of the Dashi Kingdom, they could not distribute many mobile cavalry to deal with the difficult robber cavalry.
There are fewer cavalry sects who go to suppress the bandits, and they may be eaten by the robbers and cavalry.
If there were too many cavalry sent, the robbers and cavalry would probably disperse and would not give them a chance to fight head-on.
When facing the strong pressure brought by the orc army head-on, it was impossible for the cavalry under Shui Ruyan to stay in the southern part of the eastern Henan plain for a long time to play hide-and-seek games with the robber cavalry.
So they could only watch the robbers and cavalry unscrupulously stir up trouble on the eastern Henan plain, which eventually led to the displacement of the people there and become refugees.
If we want to avoid such a situation that is extremely unfavorable to the Northern Expedition Alliance, then there must be a cavalry stationed in the southern part of the eastern Henan plain to prevent the harassment and destruction of the robbers and cavalry.
Only in this way can they completely break the shocking conspiracy of the Condor Heroes Empire this time.
