The two towns east of the Colorful Rainbow Bridge are right next to Dadingzi Mountain and Taohua Mountain. There are not only trees that can make trenchers, but also inexhaustible stones on the mountain.

As long as Lu Chenguang transferred a group of craftsmen to come over, he could immediately make trenchers and stone bullets of various specifications in two towns.

Everything on the mountain is ready-made. They just need to contribute their efforts and spend some time at the same time. So the offensive plan proposed by Sun Junyi went directly into Lu Chenguang's heart.

After asking others and finding that they had no good suggestions, Lu Chenguang directly chose the offensive plan proposed by Sun Junyi.

While sending people to mobilize more craftsmen to come, he continued to increase troops to Luqiao Town, preparing to fight a long-term war of attrition with the Dashi Kingdom.

......

"Report to Your Majesty, the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expedition Alliance are now confronting Taiping Town area on the east bank of Dushan Lake. Both of them have concentrated hundreds of thousands of troops and countless food and supplies there. It seems that they want to fight a protracted battle and decide the outcome in one battle."

In Taiping Town, although the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom have not yet fully fought, both of them have already taken the one-way street and no one can withdraw. This war is destined to be inevitable.

When Ning Yuan, who was in Nanzhang County, learned about the latest information he had passed, he immediately breathed a long sigh.

During the period when the Northern Expedition Alliance fought with the Dashi Kingdom, Ning Yuan was suffering.

In order to cooperate with the guide to the East Yangtze River Line of the Xiao family's five brothers, Ningyuan has been pressing 300,000 monkeys firmly into the narrow valley of Nanzhang County.

Although the macaques with bad temper have been restrained by the last killing of monkeys, the monkeys are monkeys after all, and after eating and drinking, they can't stay idle at all.

Driven by strong curiosity, monkeys who have learned to pretend to be powerful are very interested in everything in the valley.

They often rush around the valley with their families and find something fun. They suddenly rushed up, and then a lot of furry palms and soles of their feet rushed over.

Everyone in the valley knew that these monkeys were the treasures of his own majesty. They could not go directly to Ning Yuan to complain because they were harassed by the monkeys. Therefore, as long as the harassment of the monkeys was not too excessive, they all chose to temporarily endure it.

Monkeys are a kind of creature that is arrogant. They are like human children aged four or five, and have no concept of right and wrong.

When the soldiers of the Condor Empire in the valley chose not to see them as much as possible, the monkeys naively thought that they were doing this right, and then became even more aggressive.

Therefore, the valleys of Nanzhang County are full of monkeys showing off their might. Except for the courtyard where Ningyuan lives, they go wherever they want, just like a group of playboys who harmed the countryside, no one dares to mess with them.

Ning Yuan also knew that the monkeys were active by nature, so he could not draw a prison to keep them in the same place for a long time without moving.

So as long as the monkey group didn't make any big trouble for him, he simply began to turn a blind eye and pretended that he didn't see it.

Ning Yuan could accept it if he had been waiting like this, but as time passed, they soon encountered new troubles.

Although Ning Yuan led the Condor Heroes Army to seize a large amount of food and supplies in Nanzhang County and Baokang County, the food consumed by the 170,000 Flying Corps and 300,000 monkeys every day is an astronomical figure.

Every time they wait in Nanzhang County for one more day, the grain in the granary would drop a lot. If the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom kept there, they would probably not be able to withstand it.

After Ning Yuan personally changed the strategy, he and the five brothers of the Xiao family had to wait for the battle in the eastern Henan Plain to enter a white-hot state before they could act, otherwise it would be possible to give the Northern Expedition Alliance a chance to withdraw in time.

So they had to continue waiting until no one could get out of the eastern Henan Plain.

In order to alleviate the possible food crisis, Ning Yuan simply divided the Flying Legion into three parts.

Every day, a flying army flew over Daba Mountain and returned to the Sichuan Basin to replenish food. They would spend the night in the Sichuan Basin, and after breakfast the next day, they would bring a small pocket containing rice and flour back to Nanzhang County.

Although the weight of the materials the Flying Corps can carry is very limited, their actions to and from the Sichuan Basin can save Nanzhang County a lot of food, allowing the 300,000 monkeys in Nanzhang County to persist for a period of time.

The food in Nanzhang County has been saved, but the food in the Sichuan Basin is being consumed rapidly, and it is consumed more than usual, because it is flying back and forth every day, and the soldiers consume a lot of money, so they naturally eat more than usual.

Ning Yuan also knew that doing so would not only consume the physical strength of the Flying Legion, but also waste more food, but in order to continue waiting, he seemed to have no choice.

Looking at the tired faces of the soldiers of the Flying Legion, Ning Yuan suffered a lot every day. Fortunately, the emperor paid off and they finally no longer had to do such useless efforts to fly back and forth across the mountains.

The latest news brought back by Seraph Scout to Ning Yuan really made him very excited. He wanted to wait for this news and was almost depressed.

After taking a deep breath and calming down his excitement, Ning Yuan calmly asked: "Did the Dashi Kingdom be full of all this time?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this time, the Dashi Kingdom has transferred almost all the adult men in the country to the front line, and then arranged most of the main legions around Taiping Town.

Now there are basically no decent troops in the area east of Mount Tai in the Dashi Kingdom, with baby soldiers and temporary patrols made up of orc women everywhere.”

"What about the Northern Expedition Alliance? Are they also coming out in full swing?"

After getting an answer he wanted to hear, Ning Yuan continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, most of the troops on the Northern Expedition Alliance are still on the west bank of the Grand Canal. Because the Dashi Kingdom troops in several cities in Heze and Dongming are still holding on, most of the infantry of the Northern Expedition Alliance are surrounding these cities.

Although the Northern Expedition Alliance did not mobilize those ordinary legions, they transferred all the elite legions under their command to the west bank of Nanyang Lake. Now more than 200,000 elite legions have reached the east bank through the Colorful Bridge.

At present, the 200,000 elite troops of the Northern Expedition Alliance are confronting the Dashi Kingdom in the southwest of Taiping Town. It has been several days since they both had no intention of taking action.

The Dashi Kingdom seemed to have made up its mind to defend Taiping Town to the death. If the enemy did not attack, they would use static measures to prevent it.

The Northern Expedition Alliance didn't seem to be very anxious. They transported various supplies to the front line every day.

By the way, Your Majesty, the day before I set off, the Northern Expedition Alliance suddenly sent tens of thousands of people into the mountains to cut trees and mine stones.

All the cut down trees and stones were transported to Luqiao Town, which is now full of wood and stones."

The Seraph Scout introduced Ning Yuan in detail the situation of the Northern Expedition Alliance this time, and informed Ning Yuan of some new discoveries.

Ning Yuan was shocked when he heard that the Northern Expedition coalition was cutting down trees and mining stones on a large scale. He thought of a very bad possibility.

If the Northern Expedition coalition was simply cutting down trees, they might very likely want to use the wood to build camps and have a better confrontation with the Dashi Kingdom.

But now they are not only cutting down trees, but also mining large amounts of stones. There is almost only one possibility, that is, the Northern Expedition Alliance wants to make a catapult on site in Luqiao Town, and then use the catapult to bombard Taiping Town, guarded by the Dashi Kingdom.

Ning Yuan knows the Dashi Kingdom very well.

The Dashi Kingdom is known for its ability to conquer orc ground legions, the most famous of which are the Bear Man Heavy Infantry Legion and the Wolf Cavalry Legion.

Now, Wolf Xiaotian has abducted more than half of the bear man heavy infantry and all the wolf cavalry in the Dashi Kingdom. Now the Dashi Kingdom is the only one remaining in the Bear Man Imperial Guard Legion of about 60,000 people and some other werewolf infantry legions.

The group of cavalry crossbows provided by the Condor Empire to the Dashi Kingdom were almost all on the wolf cavalry. After losing those cavalry crossbows, the long-range attack ability of the Dashi Kingdom was basically zero, and they could only fight with the enemy at close range.

The Dashi Kingdom is now like a high school student with a serious degree of academic discipline. They have outstanding melee skills, but they have almost no long-range attack methods.

If they are the offensive side, then their shortcomings are not particularly obvious.

But if they are the defensive side and lack the long-range attack methods, they will be led by the nose by the enemy who has long-range attack methods.

Ranged attack is a very important means of killing the enemy during defense. If you don’t have the ability to attack the distance but still have to defend a certain place, this is definitely standing there as a living target for the enemy and letting the enemy ask for it.

Because the heavy infantry of the Bear Man is not invincible, they can withstand the attacks of long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, but they cannot withstand the huge rocks thrown out by the catapult.

Once hit by a huge rock, even if they are rough and thick in skin, they will be smashed into a pool of mud.

So if the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expedition Alliance were really allowed to continue to fight step by step, then the troops that the Dashi Kingdom had finally gathered together would sooner or later be consumed by the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Although Ning Yuan had given up on the Dashi Kingdom, what he wanted to see was that the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expedition Alliance fought for both losses, rather than seeing the Dashi Kingdom being unilaterally crushed by the Northern Expedition Alliance.

So after guessing that the Northern Expedition Alliance was rushing to build a large number of catapults and wanted to use the catapults to kill the main legion of the Dashi Kingdom in Taiping Town, Ning Yuan knew that he had to intervene immediately.

Otherwise, once the only remaining Bear Man Imperial Guard in the Dashi Kingdom was destroyed by the Northern Expedition Alliance, the Dashi Kingdom would no longer be able to stop the advancement of the Northern Expedition Alliance.

If it really came to that time, the Condor Heroes, which had been watching the tiger fight, would not come to clean up the mess, but would have to fight against the Northern Expedition Alliance head-on.

So in what way should I intervene in this war?

Now Xiong Dashi has drawn all the orc army east of Mount Tai, which is obviously a sure thing he will not take advantage of the situation.

Before, Xiong Dashi had rejected the request of the Condor Heroes to enter the Dashi Kingdom to help them fight. So now will he still refuse the request of the Condor Heroes to enter the Dashi Kingdom to fight?

After a detailed analysis of Xiong Dashi's personality, Ning Yuan shook his head helplessly, and there was a clear answer in his heart.

Xiong Dashi is now a powder keg that may explode on the spot at any time. Since he refused the request for the Condor Heroes to cooperate in combat without hesitation, he still would not agree to let the Condor Heroes enter the country for combat.

Because it is easy to invite gods and it is difficult to send gods. Once the Condor Heroes enters the Dashi Kingdom on a large scale, it will not be so easy to let them go out. After all, Ning Yuan is not alive, and he cannot let the soldiers of the Condor Heroes bleed and sacrifice for irrelevant people in vain.

It is very likely that the Northern Expedition Alliance had just been defeated, and the Condor Heroes directly turned their backs on the enemy and directly replaced Xiong Dashi, turning the Dashi Kingdom into a county of the Condor Heroes Empire.

In fact, Ning Yuan has always thought so, but unfortunately Xiong Dashi didn't give him such a chance at all.

Now the hinterland of the entire Dashi Kingdom is very empty. As long as Ning Yuan thinks, the Condor Heroes Army, who are ready to go, can immediately occupy most of the Dashi Kingdom.

However, if Ning Yuan really did this, then the angry and embarrassed Xiong Dashi would probably go directly into the arms of the Northern Expedition Alliance and join forces with the Northern Expedition Alliance to fight against the Condor Heroes.

So, unless it was absolutely necessary, Ning Yuan did not want to use such radical means to stimulate Xiong Dashi, because Xiong Dashi's influence in the entire Shandong region was too great. As long as he stood up and shouted, countless orcs would gather under his command.

The Condor Army could not intervene in person, so if we wanted to help the army of the Dashi Kingdom to deal with the Northern Expedition coalition's catapult bombing tactics, it seemed that there was only one way for the craftsmen to support it.

However, if Ning Yuan really sent a group of craftsmen to help Dashi Kingdom create trench machines on site, then with Xiong Dashi's desire for skilled craftsmen, the fate of this group of craftsmen is likely to be that meat buns will go and go but never return.

Every group of craftsmen who can skillfully build various siege equipment is also very precious to the Condor Empire, so Ning Yuan just thought about it and immediately rejected the idea.

Xiong Dashi would not agree to send troops directly to the war, and sent a group of craftsmen to support Ning Yuan but he was reluctant to let him go. Then Ning Yuan didn't want to watch the Dashi Kingdom being tactically crushed by the Northern Expedition Alliance. For a moment, he was so rare that his eyebrows were almost squeezed together.

Just as Ning Yuan was worried by this problem, a big monkey with bare head swung past the big tree outside the courtyard wall.
