Chapter 1228, Winter Song (Seventeen)(1/2)
From Xuchang to Xinzheng County.
Facing the army of Li Yufeng who was coming out of his arms, the wolf cavalry and centaur army of the Condor Heroes who were active in this area only dared to follow from afar and did not dare to get close.
In this way, Li Yufeng led the main army not only rushed to Xinzheng City, but also recovered some lost villages and towns along the way.
After coming outside the city of Xinzheng City, Li Yufeng did not choose to enter the city, but directly led the army around the west side of Xinzheng City.
Li Yufeng's caution once again disappointed the Centaur Legion of the Condor Empire who wanted to fight an ambush.
Although Ningyuan has absolutely no longer sent troops to block Li Yufeng's army, the centaur army located near Xinzheng County still set up ambush on the east and west sides of Xinzheng City.
The width of the gate of Xinzheng City is limited. If Li Yufeng's army wants to enter the city or go to the north of the city, the fastest way is to enter the infantry through the south gate and go out of the north gate. The cavalry will go around from the east and west sides of the city and meet with the infantry on the north side.
Once the infantry and cavalry of Li Yufeng's army separate, the opportunity for the Centaur Legion of the Condor Empire came. They could launch a raid on the cavalry legion under Li Yufeng's command with their omnipotence that can attack far and close combat.
In the eyes of the centaur warrior, except for the pervert of Silver Pegasus, no one else with the horses was their opponent.
As long as there are no annoying infantry with ultra-long range, then no cavalry regiment on the ground will be their opponent.
That's why they set up ambush on the two wings of Xinzheng County. Their purpose is to kill the enemy's spirit and give the enemy a warning, so that the enemy can clearly know that only by joining the troops together can they compete with the Condor Heroes Army and dare not divide the troops easily.
The commander of the Centaur Legion thought that the enemy would be relaxed and careless after arriving in Xinzheng City, but he never expected that Li Yufeng would still be so cautious.
So after they saw that Li Yufeng's army was still lined up by the west city in an orderly manner, they immediately gave up their plan of raid.
After safely moving to the north of Xinzheng City, the next thing was very simple.
The Condor Empire only has the Wolf Cavalry Legion and the Centaur Legion in Xinzheng County. These two legions were simply unable to fight against Li Yufeng's army that was united.
So they could only watch Li Yufeng's army advance northward and finally successfully joined the trapped Taurus Legion.
After lifting the siege of the Taurens Legion, Li Yufeng, Lu Chenguang and Shui Ruyan led five armies back to Xinzheng City.
After placing the army outside the city, Li Yufeng immediately invited Lu Chenguang and Shui Ruyan to have a meal together.
After the three of them had a sumptuous dinner, Li Yufeng ordered people to remove the dishes, and then immediately introduced the current situation on the eastern Henan plain to Lu Chenguang and Shui Ruyan.
When Li Yufeng talked about the demon scout he sent to discover a secret camp in Jiangcun Town of the Eagle Empire, Lu Chenguang and Shui Ruyan's eyes immediately lit up.
After looking at each other, Lu Chenguang spoke, "President Li, if there are only these three troops in the igloo camp you found, then we can completely change from passive to active, take the initiative to attack, and catch the Condor Heroes off guard.
During the day, I can see clearly the process of leading your army to rescue us.
Facing the perfect formation of your army, the two cavalry regiments of the Condor Heroes Empire have no choice but to watch you forward.
Although the military formation you arranged during the day is already perfect, in my opinion, the strength of the army in charge in front of the convex is not strong enough.
Once you encounter a more powerful heavy infantry legion, the army responsible for the convex will become a breakthrough for the enemy.
However, this flaw disappeared immediately after you led your army to successfully rescue the Taurus Heavy Infantry Legion under my command.
Because no army is more suitable for the role of the meat shield in front of the convex than the Taurus Heavy Infantry Legion.
President Li, although we had a lot of unhappiness in the past, now we are on the same boat together, and no one can escape the sank of the ship.
Therefore, we must abandon past grudges and work together.
Only in this way can we have a chance to defeat the powerful Condor Empire.
Today, you risked being surrounded by the Condor Heroes to rescue us. Lu Chenguang felt very warm in my heart.
People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.
President Li, from now on, the Tauren heavy infantry legion under my command will be under your full command.
Although my ability to command troops in war is very limited, I can still be competent as a small staff officer by my side.
President Li, from now on, I will ask you the battlefield in the eastern Henan Plain.
Come on, I wish you a drink and I wish us a happy cooperation!”
After saying that, Lu Chenguang raised his wine glass.
"Then I'd rather obey my duty than respect. I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Seeing Lu Chenguang so aware of his appearance, Li Yufeng also raised his wine glass very happily.
Under the witness of Shui Ruyan, the two drank the wine in the glass and successfully completed the handover of military power.
After the cup, Lu Chenguang said frankly: "Two presidents, let's not hide it from you. After discovering the secret military hiding site in the Eagle Empire, I thought of turning passive into initiative and launching an attack on the igloo camp in Jiangcun Town.
My first choice at that time was to let your Taurus heavy infantry legion act as the flesh shield to the front, and then use the range advantage of the divine arm bow to force the enemy back.
At this stage, my first strategic goal is to take down the igloo camp in Jiangcun Town of the Condor Empire, and then use it as a military base, waiting for the arrival of the players' army, and fighting a defensive counterattack with the enemy.
Before, the only thing I lacked in this plan was the Taurus heavy infantry legion under your command.
Now that the Taurus heavy infantry legion is available, what we have to face next is the logistical supply problem.
Xuchang City is almost 70 kilometers away from Jiangcun Town. How to safely transport the army's logistics supplies to Jiangcun Town by the field harassment of the two cavalry regiments of the Condor Heroes is a problem we must face.
The two presidents live in the eastern Henan Plain all year round and are familiar with the situation here. I wonder what good ideas do you two have?"
Hearing Li Yufeng's question, the smiles on Lu Chenguang and his two faces disappeared immediately.
After a moment of silence, Shui Ruyan shook her head gently and said, "President Li, if we had the strength to fight against the two cavalry regiments of the Condor Heroes Empire in the wild, we would not have been blocked by them in the city and dared not come out before.
If you really plan to fight a long defensive counterattack with the Condors after capturing the Ice House camp in Jiangcun Town, then I thought of a bit unreliable suggestion.”
When it comes to being unreliable, Shui Ruyan's face turned slightly red and she didn't continue to talk about it.
Looking at Shui Ruyan's beautiful face, Li Yufeng was suddenly distracted.
At this moment, he finally knew why men always say that women are a disaster for beauty, and why women are not allowed to be brought in the army during marches and wars.
Originally they were discussing a very serious matter, but because of Shui Ruyan's sudden appearance of the little daughter, not only did he, who had always been bad at women, was affected, but Lu Chenguang's LSP was staring at Shui Ruyan with his eyes shining lust.
After taking a deep breath and suppressing the messy thoughts in his heart, Li Yufeng said in a deep voice: "President Shui, if you have any suggestions, you can just say that everyone is our own people, and even if it is not reliable, it doesn't matter. At worst, we can ignore it."
"President Li, if you are confident of defeating the Condor Army located in Jiangcun Town and occupying the igloo camp there, why don't we just let the transport team follow your army and transport more food and supplies at one time?
After driving away the Condor Heroes entrenched in the Xuchang area, we are now not short of food and supplies, and at the same time, we are not short of labor to transport food and supplies.
The only thing we lack now is the escort army that can escort the transport convoy.
If you let the food and supplies follow the army to Jiangcun Town, then you only need to divide a portion of the cavalry and the Divine Arm Army to participate in the escort, then the enemy will never dare to attack our transport convoy."
When Shui Ruyan said that she needed Li Yufeng to divide her troops to protect the transportation convoy, Li Yufeng's brows immediately frowned.
Seeing Li Yufeng frowning, Shui Ruyan immediately smiled and explained:
"President Li, don't get me wrong. What I just said is that you don't need to divide too much force. You only need to divide a small part of the force, and it will not affect your previous layout."
"But if the troops are not strong enough, I'm afraid that the wolf cavalry and centaur army will not be scared!"
Li Yufeng asked curiously.
Hearing that he only needed to send a small part of the army, which would not affect the combat effectiveness of the army, the expression on Li Yufeng's face immediately eased a lot.
"It's like this, President Li. I plan to use tricks to make the cavalrymen who are wandering outside fearful of the Condor Heroes.
To be honest, we have asked craftsmen to copy the unique Divine Arm Bow and Mo Dao that you and President Zhao have.
Although we failed to imitate it successfully in the end, a batch of defective products were born.
Those defective products cannot meet the standards in terms of function, but their appearance is almost exactly the same as those in your hands.
Now the defective products are piled up in the warehouses of the two cities of Xuchang and Luohe.
As long as we return to Xuchang City and set out from there, we can quickly arm a fake divine arm army composed of players and thousands of fake black armored cavalry.
What the wolf cavalry and centaur warriors of the Condor Empire fear most are not the black armored cavalry under your command, but the divine arm archers holding divine arm bows.
So as long as they see that there are a large number of divine armed shooters and black armored cavalry in our escort team, they will definitely not dare to attack easily.
The reason why I asked you to divide some of the Divine Arm Shooters and the Black Armored Cavalry to come is mainly to prevent the Condor Heroes from launching a tentative attack.
There are real divine arm shooters distributed in the entire escort team. Even if the enemy launches a tentative attack, we can let real divine arm shooters scare them away.
Of course, in order to avoid any flaws from the Seraph scouts of the Condor Heroes, I also hope that President Li, you can let the Divine Arm Army collectively replace the winter combat cotton suits of our Northern Expedition Alliance.
In this way, our trick of using false and real tricks will be even less likely to be seen through.
President Li, do you think it is feasible to use this method to transport food and grass supplies?”
After saying that, Shui Ruyan stared at Li Yufeng with her big watery eyes.
Pretending to avoid Shui Ruyan's gaze, Li Yufeng asked: "President Shui, if your method is seen through by the Eagle Army, then I will not be able to send troops to rescue the logistics convoy in time!"
"President Li, there is no tactic of 100% success rate in this world.
Many times, as long as we have half the success rate, it is worth our risk.
As the saying goes, it depends on people and plans.
Compared with not thinking of other ways to ensure logistics, once this method is successful, you and your army will not worry about logistics issues in a short period of time.
And even if the enemy really sees through our slurs, we will only lose some of the food, supplies and a player army.
We can still afford this loss and will not have much impact on your offensive plan.
After all, you never considered having too many transport fleets follow when making this plan.
Now the first batch of players who crossed the Yangtze River have successfully arrived in the Nanyang Basin.
To be continued...
