Chapter 1160, Li Yufeng
"Reported to His Majesty the King of Tang, hundreds of thousands of monkeys suddenly emerged from Nanzhang County. Now those monkeys are destroying the crops east of Nanzhang County. Wherever the monkeys pass, the land is everywhere, and many paddy fields that grow early rice have been ruined by the monkeys."
"Report to His Majesty the King of Tang, due to the raging monkey group, the people in many villages have begun to flee eastward, and now there are displaced people everywhere."
"Report to His Majesty the King of Tang, our army stationed in Jiuji Town was attacked by thousands of enemy silver Pegasus knights.
Now Jiuji Town has been lost. The soldiers who fled from Jiuji Town have mingled with the fleeing people. They all headed towards Yicheng."
"Report to His Majesty the King of Tang, Wu'an Town was suddenly attacked by thousands of enemy silver pegasus knights this morning. The defenders of Wu'an Town are outnumbered, and now they have retreated towards Yicheng."
......
Today was definitely the worst day for Li Yufeng, the founding king of Li Tang. Since he had just had breakfast, his ears had not been idle for a whole morning. All kinds of news from southern Xiangyang hit him like snowflakes.
From the moment Ning Yuan led the 200,000 Flying Legion raid and occupied Nanzhang County, Li Yufeng had been guessing what Ning Yuan's purpose was.
According to the current situation in the Huaxia District, Li Yufeng thought of various possibilities, but he did not expect that Ning Yuan’s real purpose was to let a group of monkeys come and do damage.
There is no way, the Condor Army’s confidentiality measures are really good.
After the Condor Air Force completely occupied air supremacy, the flying scouts under Li Yufeng's hands were close to Nanzhang County, and even leaving Xiangyang City, they were likely to be immediately attacked by seraphic scouts of the Condor Air Force.
After the Condor Air Force unreasonably occupied most of the airspace in the Xiangyang area, Li Yufeng's Li Tang could only pass through the ground if he wanted to convey some information.
It was precisely because he didn't know that more than 300,000 monkeys had already arrived in his territory that Li Yufeng was caught off guard by Ning Yuan's unique Monkey Legion's invasion tactics.
After the Condor Air Force spread throughout the airspace of the Xiangyang area today, Li Yufeng guessed that Ningyuan, who had been in Nanzhang County for many days, could not help it.
At that time, he once speculated that Ningyuan's next attack target would be Yicheng, because Yicheng was adjacent to the Han River, which was an important material storage base and transit base for Li Tang.
This time Ning Yuan came over mountains and rivers, and his hands were covered with all the air forces.
Although the Air Force is excellent in terms of maneuver power, they are unable to effectively occupy the land they captured like the Army.
So this time Ning Yuan came here not to occupy a certain area in Hubei for a long time, he came here entirely for the sake of destruction.
As the capital of Little Li Tang, Xiangyang City guards the major transportation route from the north to the southern part of Hubei. Not only is the city built very large, but the walls are also high and thick, which are very easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Even if the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Condor Empire are very good at siege cities, it is not easy to capture Xiangyang City, which is heavily guarded by troops.
So as long as Ning Yuan has a little brain, he will never have any inappropriate thoughts about Xiangyang City, which is like a brick wall.
Unlike Xiangyang City, Yicheng, located on the west bank of Khanshui, is located in a safe inland area.
Because it is adjacent to sweat, Yicheng has convenient transportation conditions. In addition, it is located in the central and northern part of Hubei and is close to the capital of Xiangyang, so the trade in the entire Yicheng area is very developed.
After occupying the entire Hubei, Li Yufeng began to build Yicheng in the direction of economic and trade centers and material distribution centers.
Since Xiangyang City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, guards the north gate, and Jingzhou City in the south guards the Yangtze River Road. Before these two heavy cities are lost, Yicheng will not be in any danger, so Li Yufeng did not build the walls of Yicheng very high.
He used his limited resources to build two cities in the Yicheng area, one inner city and the other outer city.
The inner city is stationed by Li Yufeng's army and some officials he appointed. All the offices in the entire Yicheng area are gathered, which is the administrative brain of the Yicheng area.
In order to build Yicheng into the economic and trade center of Li Tang, Li Yufeng built the outer city to a particularly large size, so the outer city wall was only about three meters high.
The three-meter-high city wall cannot defend against any army at all, and can only defend against thieves. Li Yufeng's purpose of building the outer city wall is to defend against thieves.
Because there are not only many shops in the outer city, but also towering sharp granaries.
Xiangyang City guards the northern gate of Hubei, where most of the elite legions of Li Tang are concentrated, and the food and supplies consumed every day are astronomical.
The food source of the entire Xiangyang City mainly relies on the rich Jianghan Plain. When transporting grain and grass materials from the Jianghan Plain to the Xiangyang area, whether it is by the Hanshui waterway or by land, Yicheng is a place after all.
Therefore, the Yicheng area can be said to be the second granary in Xiangyang, where more grain is stored than that in Xiangyang area.
This time, Ning Yuan led the Condor Air Force to obviously cause damage, so as long as Ning Yuan is not blind, the city's large wall is definitely the best target of attack.
Yicheng is no less important to Li Tang than Xiangyang City, which guards the North Gate, so Li Yufeng cannot watch Yicheng destroyed by the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan.
In order to defend the granaries in the outer city of Yicheng, Li Yufeng not only transferred an elite elves to guard the city wall, but also laid a layer of fireproof materials on all buildings in Yicheng.
If the Condor Air Force wants to burn a fire in Yicheng, they must land on the ground and occupy Yicheng from the ground, otherwise they will have to make noises above Yicheng.
After transferring an elite elves to Yicheng for defense, Li Yufeng's mobile legions were not large, so he made up his mind to defend Xiangyang and Yicheng, waiting for the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan to leave on its own.
The food and supplies in the entire Xiangyang area are concentrated in Xiangyang, Yicheng, and Nanzhang County occupied by the Condor Air Force.
Compared with Xiangyang and Yicheng, the food stored in Nanzhang County is very limited, which is at most enough for hundreds of thousands of people from the Condor Heroes Air Force to eat for a month or two.
So when the Condor Air Force cannot grab enough food from Hubei, Ningyuan and the others will definitely return to the Sichuan Basin by themselves.
As the founding king of Li Tang, Li Yufeng, who is praised by players as the Little Demon Valley of China, made such arrangements.
Because as a weak side, he has no ability to drive out the Condor Air Force that invaded Hubei. All he can do is not give the Condor Air Force any chance to expand the results of the war, so that they can retreat by themselves.
However, due to the lack of key information, Li Yufeng finally got one move away.
When Li Yufeng heard that Ning Yuan had brought hundreds of thousands of monkeys to destroy the farmland in his territory, he was suddenly discouraged.
Because after hearing about the monkey group destroying the fields and driving the people from all over the country to the east, he immediately thought of what Ningyuan wanted to do.
Ning Yuan's trick to remove firewood from the bottom of the pot was extremely sinister.
The people are the foundation of the country. If a country has no people, the country will soon die.
Although Ning Yuan has not attacked some of the heavy cities of Li Tang for the time being, when the people on Li Tang’s land began to leave their hometowns and be displaced, what would happen if Li Yufeng had many elite soldiers?
Without the people, what are the soldiers under his command eating?
Without the people, what are the soldiers under his command wearing?
Without the people, who are his soldiers fighting for?
The reason why an elite army is invincible is mainly because the soldiers in the army know what they are fighting for, and they have clear purpose.
The reason why the soldiers sacrificed their lives was not for him, Li Yufeng, but for protecting their common homes so that their relatives could live happily without the war.
When an army loses its guardian target, their souls are gone.
And an army that has lost their souls will no longer be an elite soldier, because after they have no goals, they will gradually become insensitive.
Ning Yuan's trick to target the people of Li Tang directly hit Li Yufeng's life gate, because Li Yufeng had already guessed what would happen next.
"Report~~~~, report to His Majesty the King of Tang, there are now countless refugees rushing towards Yicheng, and they are expected to arrive in Yicheng tonight.
Lord Li Chaoyang, the city guard of Yicheng, asked me to ask His Majesty whether he would open the city gate, open the warehouse and release grain, and stabilize the refugees."
What should come will come after all, and Li Yufeng's speculation soon became a reality.
"Tell Li Chaoyang, let him guard Yicheng for me and never let those refugees enter the city.
When the refugees arrive in Yicheng, ask the soldiers to tell the refugees that they will immediately cross the Han River, and then take a rest on the east bank of the Han River. At that time, I will send someone there to properly resettle them.
Let Li Chaoyang immediately transport part of the grain in the city to the dock on the Hanshui River bank. When the refugees start crossing the river, each person will first give out ten kilograms of grain. Never let those refugees go hungry.
Tell me Li Chaoyang that you must patiently persuade those refugees and never cause any trouble.
If the civil unrest aroused by his inaction, I will directly kill his nine clans."
After struggling in pain for a long time, Li Yufeng finally fulfilled Ning Yuan's wishes.
There is no way, those people who left their hometowns are the foundation of Li Tang. He can tolerate losing an army, but he absolutely cannot tolerate his foundation being dug through under his nose.
After sending away the messenger who came to ask for instructions, Li Yufeng fell into painful contemplation again.
Although he has now made timely resettlement of those refugees, this resettlement can only treat the symptoms and cannot cure the root cause.
Because as long as the hundreds of thousands of monkeys brought by Ningyuan are here for a day, those refugees will not be able to return to their homes.
Moreover, Ning Yuan actually thought of using the Monkey Legion to explore his foundation. Then he would not only be satisfied with damaging the Xiangyang area, but his goal must be the entire Hubei area.
When Li Yufeng thought of Ning leading the Condor Air Force to cover hundreds of thousands of monkeys into the rich Jianghan Plain, he felt a little dark.
The Jianghan Plain is rich in resources and is an important production area in Hubei. It is the foundation of him and Zhao Guangfu.
If Ning Yuan led the Monkey Legion to turn the entire Jianghan Plain into a deserted area, then he and Zhao Guangfu would be completely finished.
Then, let alone trying to dominate the world, I am afraid that even the titles of Li Tang and Xiao Zhao Song will not be able to be kept.
Therefore, resettling those refugees is only the first step. Next, he must find a way to kill all the annoying monkeys. Only by killing all the monkeys brought by Ning Yuan can he protect his foundation.
But how easy is it to kill all the Monkey Legion, which was mainly protected by the Condor Air Force?
Ning Yuan was able to think of such a non-spoken plan, and he must have made complete preparations before coming.
Now the sky of the entire Xiangyang area is full of air forces of the Condor Empire, and the Silver Pegasus Knights who can ignore long-range attacks fly over Xiangyang City very arrogantly.
The enemy is so arrogant, it is nothing more than that Li Tang has no decent air power, and he has no way to deal with them.
Li Yufeng had thought of sending the ground legion to attack the damn monkeys, but the sky was full of eyeliners of the Condor Heroes, and their every move was clearly seen by the Condor Heroes.
When he just received information about the Monkey Legion destroying the fields, Li Yufeng sent two elves to attack the Monkey Legion.
However, the two elves had just left the barracks, and a large number of silver pegasus knights from the Condor Empire appeared in front of them.
Faced with the Silver Pegasus Knights who were born to restrain long-range attacks, the two legions sent by Li Yufeng were quickly suppressed.
Ning Yuan was obviously prepared this time. He had thought of all possible situations in advance and arranged solutions one by one.
The current situation is that if they cannot break through the blockade of the Condor Air Force, they will not be able to kill the annoying monkeys and can only let them destroy them on their own land.
With the existing armies under Li Yufeng, the more than 20,000 silver Pegasus knights under Ning Yuan were enough to eat them all, not to mention the owl warriors and angel warriors spread throughout the sky.
To break this situation, Li Yufeng must find a way to divert the flying legion brought by Ning Yuan, or directly destroy it. In this way, his army will have the opportunity to get close to the monkeys and kill them all.
"It seems that I can only treat the dead horse as a living horse and ask that damn guy."
