After the war between Luqiao Town and Colorful Bridge ended, both the defeated Dashi Kingdom and the miserable Northern Expedition coalition seemed to have agreed to this result.

After returning to Taiping Town, Xiong Xiaoguang and others immediately delivered the detailed battle report and analysis of the subsequent battle situation to Xiong Dashi's table.

Xiong Xiaoguang and Lang Wubian both advocated a major offensive and defensive battle with the Northern Expedition Alliance in Taiping Town.

To the west of Taiping Town is Jining City, the straight-line distance between the two is twenty-two kilometers, to the east is Zoucheng, the straight-line distance between the two is eighteen kilometers, and to the north is Yanzhou City, the straight-line distance between the two is twenty-three kilometers.

Luqiao Town, which was re-occupied by the Northern Expedition Alliance, is located slightly westward in the south of Taiping Town, with a straight line distance of sixteen kilometers.

Taiping Town is backed by Yanzhou City, with Jining City and Zoucheng on the left and right respectively guarding it.

If they arranged heavy troops in Taiping Town and built fortifications there to build Taiping Town into a solid fortress, then if the Northern Expedition Alliance wants to continue to launch an attack, they must first conquer Taiping Town.

If the Northern Expedition coalition forces did not defeat Taiping Town, they would not be able to launch an attack on Jining City and Zoucheng, and they would not be able to bypass Taiping Town and attack Yanzhou.

Therefore, Lang Wubing and Xiong Xiaoguang both hoped that Xiong Dashi could transfer all other troops of the Dashi Kingdom to the main war zone composed of Taiping Town, Jining, Zoucheng and Yanzhou, and fight to the death with the Northern Expedition Alliance here.

After reading the letter sent by Xiong Xiaoguang, Xiong Dashi immediately returned to the state of the orc commander who was decisive in the past.

He only left five thousand Bear Guards in Yinshan Town to guard the Yellow River Corridor north of Mount Tai, and left enough river guards along the Grand Canal, and then led all other troops to the main war zone where Taiping Town is located.

At this stage of the war, the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Dashi Kingdom.

After the whereabouts of the 200,000 elite orcs led by Lang Xiaotian were unknown, Xiong Dashi knew that he had no way out.

Now he either relies on his own strength to defeat the Northern Expedition Alliance and fight out of the sky, or he can only kneel down in front of Ning Yuan, beg Ning Yuan for forgiveness like a pug, and then open the national gate and let the army of the Condor Empire come in.

Xiong Dashi also fought all the way from the sea of ​​corpses and bones. He was unwilling to bow to Ning Yuan and became the mascot raised by Ning Yuan, so he finally chose to rely on his own strength to fight the sky.

After Xiong Dashi's entire country's troops fought with the Northern Expedition Alliance in the Taiping Town War Zone, the hinterland of the Dashi Kingdom completely became an unguarded existence. As long as the Condor Empire was willing, they could land on the Dashi Kingdom at any time from sea to water.

Of course, Xiong Dashi knew that this would have huge disadvantages, but when he decided not to bow to Ning Yuan, he had no choice.

If he continues to guard against the Condor Empire, then facing the elite Northern Expedition coalition forces, they may be chased by the enemy and entered the hinterland of the Dashi Kingdom.

If they want to resist the attack of the Northern Expedition coalition, or even turn defeat into victory, they must concentrate all their strength and not have any reservations.

So Xiong Dashi's move is to bet that the Condor Empire will always be watching the fun, betting that they will not suddenly stab themselves.

If he wins the bet, then he still has a glimmer of hope of turning the tables.

If he lost the bet, the Dashi Kingdom would eventually be stabbed by the Condor Heroes Empire, then he would directly surrender to the enemy and work with the Northern Expedition Alliance to deal with the Condor Heroes Empire.

In short, he has already sacrificed his life, so no matter what the result is, he can accept it happily, because he has tried his best to fight for it. Even if he fails, there will not be too many regrets.

While Xiong Dashi was advancing to the Taiping Town War Zone, the Northern Expedition Alliance, which recaptured the Colorful Bridge, was also constantly transporting troops and food and supplies to Luqiao Town.

Because the area behind Luqiao Town was limited in area and could not accommodate too many troops, the Northern Expedition Alliance also chose the elite route this time.

In order to defeat the Dashi Kingdom army in Taiping Town, they transferred all the elite troops under their command, which was a sign of desperate gamble and never returning until they defeated Loulan.

Both the enemy and us knew very well that the battle surrounding Taiping Town would be a protracted war, from at least ten days and half a month to six months, and from most six months to six months, so while transporting troops to the front line, they kept transporting a large amount of food and supplies to the front line.

After ten days of peace, the Northern Expedition Alliance, which had been almost prepared, took the first step in the offensive.

Under Lu Chenguang's command, 200,000 Northern Expedition Alliance walked out from behind the dilapidated city gate of Luqiao Town.

Among them, Lu Chenguang personally led 100,000 main forces to Xiezhuang Village, which is only three kilometers away from Taiping Town.

The other two routes are Qian Xiaohao's 50,000 troops stationed in Shiqiao Town and Luo Jiacheng's 50,000 troops stationed in Tangcun Town.

As for Sun Junyi and others who were successful in guarding the bridge, they collectively retreated to the second line and became a member of the think tank of Lu Chenguang and others.

Facing the Northern Expedition Alliance that walked out of Luqiao Town, the troops stationed in various places in the Dashi Kingdom did not react at all. They all followed Xiong Dashi's orders and stayed quietly in the defense zone where they were responsible, waiting for the enemy to take the initiative to attack.

After seeing that the orc army in the Dashi Kingdom did not react at all, Lu Chenguang and others did not rush to launch an attack.

They also began to build fortifications in Xiezhuang Village, Tangcun Town and Shiqiao Town, and confronted the orc army hiding behind the fortifications in the distance.

The main attack point of the Northern Expedition Alliance this time was Xiezhuang Village where Lu Chenguang was. Xiezhuang Village is only three kilometers away from Taiping Town. As long as both sides were willing, the battle could start directly at any time.

Luo Jiacheng and Qian Xiaohao, located in Tangcun Town and Shiqiao Town, their main task is not attack, but defense.

The two of them were not only responsible for protecting the flanks of Lu Chenguang's army, but also responsible for blocking the enemies in Jining and Zoucheng to support Taiping Town.

As for Yanzhou City north of Taiping Town, Lu Chenguang and others were helpless.

Before capturing Taiping Town, they did not even dare to send cavalry around Taiping Town to harass the enemy's rear. The reason is that the city here is too dense. If you are not careful, the cavalry that penetrates deep into the enemy's hinterland may be made into dumplings by the enemy.

In war, intelligence is a very important part, and the accuracy of intelligence can even directly influence the trend of a war.

Although the war between the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom has not yet officially begun, the owl scouts from both sides have already become fierce.

Xiong Dashi knew that the number of owl scouts on his side was not as large as that of the Northern Expedition coalition forces, so he concentrated all owl scouts above Taiping Town, allowing owl scouts to rely on Taiping Town to resist the infiltration of local scouts and scouts.

Under normal circumstances, flying troops that can only fly at low altitudes dare not easily fly into the strongholds that the enemy is strictly guarding, because the long-range firepower in the stronghold can kill them at any time, but the Dashi Kingdom is an exception.

Because the orc races in the Dashiwang are relatively single, they not only lack craftsmen who can build weapons and equipment, but also soldiers who can use long-range weapons, so their air defense capabilities are simply terrible.

Facing the Northern Expedition Alliance's owl scout who invaded the airspace of Taiping Town, thousands of werewolf soldiers were shooting randomly with the captured bows and arrows.

The werewolf warriors have very special palms, and each finger has long and sharp nails. The existence of the nails seriously affects their posture of controlling the tail of the arrow, so the arrows they shoot have no accuracy at all.

Compared with the werewolf warriors who could barely bend their bows and arrows, the huge palms of the bear warriors basically left them with the bows and arrows.

Therefore, as long as the Northern Expedition Alliance owl scouts who invaded the sky above Taiping Town were not particularly unlucky to hit the arrow, they could basically ignore the attacks from below.

Seeing that the werewolf warriors who were temporarily playing archers were very unsatisfied, Xiong Dashi could only helplessly let the few owl scouts on his side land and completely give up the airspace to the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Seeing the owl scouts of the Northern Expedition Alliance just kept hovering in the air and did not make any other moves, Xiong Dashi couldn't help but secretly rejoice:

Fortunately, the owl tribe cannot fly in the air with torches because of their own reasons. Otherwise, if the enemy owl scouts went everywhere to set fires, it would be enough for them to drink a pot of their own after losing their air superiority.

Anyway, everything you should arrange has been arranged. If the enemy wants to see clearly, let them see it. Could it be that they can only show Taiping Town?

This time, I brought most of the main forces of the Bear Man Imperial Guard Corps to Taiping Town, in order to rely on Taiping Town's fortifications to defend the enemy.

What can the Northern Expedition Alliance do if it knows the structure of its Taiping Town?

If they want to break through Taiping Town, they must come over and fight with real swords and guns, and defeat the Bear Man Imperial Guards under their command.

If the Northern Expedition coalition could not defeat its own guard army head-on, they would have to go as far as they could.

It was precisely because of his trust in the Xiongren Guard Corps that Xiong Dashi was not afraid of the owl scouts of the Northern Expedition Alliance seeing his troops deployed in Taiping Town.

......

"Report~~~, the enemy's troops layout map in Taiping Town has been drawn. Please read it."

After obtaining absolute air supremacy, the owl scout of the Northern Expedition Alliance quickly drew a map of the troops arranged by Taiping Town and handed it to Lu Chenguang.

After hanging up the military layout map, Lu Chenguang and his members of his think tank began to carefully view.

When Lu Chenguang discovered that the Dashi Kingdom had arranged a large number of bear man heavy infantry on the periphery of Taiping Town, he was like Sun Junyi at the time, with helplessness on his face.

According to the careful inventory of the owl scout, there were a total of 100,000 bear soldiers around Taiping Town, of which about 50,000 were wearing heavy infantry equipment.

In addition, there is an werewolf army of 30,000 people in Taiping Town, and a werewolf army of 100,000 people in Pingyangsi Town behind Taiping Town.

Taiping Town is only seven kilometers away from Pingyang Temple Town. If there is danger in Taiping Town, the werewolf army in Pingyang Temple Town can soon support it.

The Dashi Kingdom has arranged a total of 100,000 bears and 130,000 werewolf troops in Taiping Town and Pingyang Temple Town, including 50,000 bears and heavy infantry. Xiong Dashi is afraid that he has brought all the troops of the Dashi Kingdom!

On the other hand, there were 25,000 Taurus heavy infantry troops, 25,000 dwarf heavy infantry troops, 40,000 elves rangers, 5,000 heavy cavalry, and 5,000 light cavalry, and a total of more than 100,000 people.

As the attacking side, if you want to use an army of 100,000 to attack the defensive positions of 230,000 people, this is basically impossible to succeed unless the quality gap between the enemy and us is very different.

No wonder the Sun brothers and Wu Qitian stopped attacking after recapturing Luqiao Town. It turned out that the real difficulty of hell was ahead!

"Don't be busy pretending to be deep, let's talk about your own opinions and talk about how we should fight this battle."

After sighing lightly, Lu Chenguang finally decided to listen to the opinions of the members of the think tank first.

"President, the number of enemy troops in Taiping Town is obviously greater than that in us. If I guess correctly, the Bear Man Heavy Infantry Legion opposite should be the Bear Man Imperial Guard Legion under Xiong Dashi.

The strength of the Bear Man Guards can be said to be comparable to our Taurus Heavy Infantry Legion, but their number is significantly greater than our Taurus Heavy Infantry Legion.

So when the strength of the main combat legions of both the enemy and us is almost the same, it is basically impossible for us to win with less. The plan for the present is to continue to increase troops to the front line and fight a war of attrition with the enemy."

Seeing Lu Chenguang ask, Wu Jun, who has a somewhat upright personality, gave the most direct answer directly.

After hearing the answer given by Wu Jun, Lu Chenguang squeezed out a smile and looked at the others and continued to ask: "Does anyone have any other different opinions?"

Seeing that everyone else was silent, Lu Chenguang turned his eyes to Sun Junyi and asked: "Junyi, you have just fought with the enemy in Luqiao Town. You should know the enemy's strength better than us.

If you were responsible for commanding this war, how would you choose to fight this war?

It doesn’t matter, it’s all about your own people, you can speak freely, and no one will blame you.”

Seeing that Sun Junyi wanted to speak but was hesitant, Lu Chenguang immediately signaled him to speak boldly.

After receiving Lu Chenguang's encouragement eyes, Sun Junyi cleared his throat and said loudly: "President, everyone can think of the tactics of increasing troops to fight attrition, so I won't say much. Now let me talk about the way to use these 100,000 people to attack the enemy's 230,000 people.

As the attacking party, our troops are only half of the enemy's strength, which is very unfavorable to us, because the enemy is now defending and we must attack.

In this case, it is not a wise move to consume troops with the enemy, so we must find a way to take the initiative to attack the enemy."

"Oh? Then you thought about how to get the enemy to attack on the initiative?"

When Lu Chenguang heard that Sun Junyi had indeed expressed different opinions, his eyes lit up.

"It's very simple. The one in the Dashi Kingdom is the weakest. Let's seize the weakest one and beat them to death." Sun Junyi said with a smile.

"You mean long-range attack? But the Bear Guard under Xiong Dashi's men is not afraid of long-range attacks."

Hearing Sun Junyi's prompt, Lu Chenguang quickly thought of an answer, but he immediately nodded the answer himself.

"President, the bears heavy infantry are just not afraid of the conventional long-range attack methods of bows and arrows. They can defend against bows and arrows, but they cannot defend against stone catapults.

No matter how well equipped the bears heavy infantrymen were, they could not withstand the huge rocks thrown by the catapults, so we could set up a catapult position in front of Xiezhuang Village and smash the enemy with stones."
