It took Joseph a certain amount of time to organize a cavalry cluster, and it still took a certain amount of time to come from the Eastern European plains. During this waiting period, Ibn Haidal and others had to face the four sides of the Condor Empire alone.

In order to reduce the consumption of food and supplies and to prevent the soldiers from further reducing their morale, Ibn Haidal finally gave up the idea of ​​attacking and breaking through, and began to shrink the defense across the board, waiting for the arrival of Eastern European cavalry.

Facing the Central Asian Middle East coalition, which suddenly turned from attack to defense, Ning Yuan immediately guessed that the enemy might have found reinforcements, so he gave up breaking through and began to accumulate strength and preserve his strength.

Now the entire Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan are under attack by the Condor Army.

After all the teleportation arrays failed, it was difficult for the remaining troops of these two countries to protect themselves, and they could not spare any action to rescue the surrounded Ibn Haidal and others, so the only direction where reinforcements might appear is the west.

The battlefield is now located at a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers from the Ural River. If the enemy really finds reinforcements from Eastern European countries, the farthest distance can even reach more than 3,000 kilometers.

If you want to cross more than 3,000 kilometers to rescue the trapped Ibn Haidal and others, the only feasible solution is to dispatch the purest cavalry legion.

In order to complete the more than 3,000 kilometers of distance as soon as possible, all strategic materials and food must be transported by war horses. Therefore, this time, the European cavalry corps that came to rescue Ibn Haidal and others must at least make one man, three horses or one man, four horses.

Two horses are used for transfers, and another horse or two horses are used to carry necessary food and supplies. A large amount of food must be prepared for the war horses in advance along the way, and try to reduce the load on the war horses in the early stage.

Only in this way can this European cavalry legion coming to support complete these more than 3,000 kilometers faster.

Thinking of this, Ning Yuan knew that the cavalry that came to support this time were most likely all light cavalry with smaller loads and more flexible combat.

If you come to rescue a distance of two or three thousand kilometers, there is basically only one opportunity. Therefore, in order to ensure the success rate of rescue, the enemy will likely send all the light cavalry in the country this time.

In this way, half a month later, light cavalry armies will appear in the west of the entire Eastern European region and even the entire Europe, and their number will likely reach more than one million.

Although the cavalry power of the Condor Empire is also very powerful, facing the European cavalry army of more than one million, the Condor Empire must not be entrusted. Otherwise, once the flaws are captured by the enemy, the situation that has finally accumulated in the early stage may be lost in one go.

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Ning Yuan pondered alone in the room for a long time.

Now there are two choices in front of Ning Yuan.

The first choice was that Ning Yuan immediately mobilized the cavalry from the Condor Empire to quickly support it, and then used cavalry against the cavalry to fight a cavalry battle with the European Cavalry Army on the prairie of the Kazakh Khanate.

The second choice is not to dispatch troops from the country, but to use the army of the Condor Empire in the Kazakh Khanate to make targeted arrangements in advance, and then wait for the enemy to come over and give the enemy the most fatal blow.

The probability of winning the first choice is very high, because the Condor Empire, which has the entire Mongolian Plateau and Siberia, has the most powerful cavalry force in the world.

As long as Ning Yuan transfers all the domestic cavalry, the probability of the Condor Empire winning this cavalry conference will be close to 100%.

However, the cost of doing so will be very huge. In addition to consuming countless food and supplies, the cavalry army of the Condor Empire will also suffer a lot of war damage.

Although winning is the first responsibility in war, if you have to hurt your muscles every time you fight, it will definitely not be worth the loss.

After years of rest and recuperation, the Eagle Empire finally recovered a little. Ning Yuan did not want to let the Eagle Empire fall into the extremely difficult and tragic situation before again, so even though he knew that he would win this way, he still did not want to fight a large-scale war of attrition with the European Cavalry Army.

If you don’t want to mobilize cavalry from the country on a large scale, the only option is to adapt to local conditions and use the existing army in the Kazakh Khanate to perfectly overcome this difficulty.

Faced with the European cavalry army that may reach millions in size, the natural cavalry, the Centaur Legion, must have participated in the war.

Ning Yuan was also very confident that he would use the hundreds of thousands of centaur troops in the Kazakh Khanate to defeat the European cavalry army that was raiding from a long distance.

However, there are not many centaur troops available for him to draw at present, because he must leave enough centaur troops to siege the million-strong army led by Ibn Haidal.

Once he transferred a large number of centaur troops to the west to deal with the European cavalry army, Ibn Haidal and others would definitely take the opportunity to break through forcibly.

Without the deterrence of the centaur army, Ibn Haidal could completely choose to break the millions of troops into pieces and bypass the line of defense ahead.

At that time, even if Ning Yuan can lead his army to intercept some of the enemies, a large number of enemies will eventually take the opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven.

In Ningyuan's strategic plan, the million-strong army led by Ibn Haidal must remain completely within the territory of the Kazakh Khanate, and they must not be allowed to escape back to Uzbekistan.

So he had to leave most of the centaur army here to watch the enemy to prevent the enemy from breaking through in chaos.

If you cannot summon all the centaur army to fight the enemy west, you can only let other troops replace the position of the centaur army.

Although other light cavalry legions of the Condor Empire were also very outstanding, they were not much better than the enemy's elite cavalry army.

Therefore, if other light cavalrymen were allowed to replace the position of a small-scale centaur army, then if a large-scale cavalry war broke out in front, the loss would definitely be inevitable.

After staring at the flags representing the various Condor Empire troops on the sand table for a long time, Ning Yuan's gaze suddenly stopped on a flag on the east bank of the Saresu River.

After seeing the name of the legion represented by the flag, a smile immediately appeared on Ning Yuan's face.

"Come, I'll send our military orders.

Order Andrew to lead the Barbarian Legion to the Turgai River Basin to immediately carry out defense.

Ma Qianli was ordered to lead an army of 100,000 centaurs to the Turgai River Basin, where he assisted Andrew's barbarian army to intercept large-scale cavalry armies that might come from the west.

Ma Qianzhang led an army of 100,000 centaurs and a legion of elves from Siberia to Costana, and was temporarily on standby there.

Once the barbarian legions of the Turgai River basin fought against the enemy, they immediately interspered me behind the enemy, and must intercept all the defeated soldiers to the area east of Aktobe.

Ma Qianren was ordered to lead the army of 50,000 centaurs and 50,000 elves bows and cavalrymen to station in Ozek.

As long as the enemy's main force arrives in the Turgai River Basin, they will immediately head north for me and prepare to raid the enemy's flanks at any time.

The order of Lang Qingyun to lead 50,000 wolf cavalry to follow Ma Qianzhang, who was responsible for the daytime battle, and Lang Qingyun was responsible for the harassment and sneak attack at night.

Tell me Ma Qianli, Ma Qianzhang and Ma Qianren, I can allow enemies who dismount to escape alive, but I will never allow the cavalry riding on war horses to escape alive."

After choosing the army to deal with the enemy, Ning Yuan immediately chose the battlefield in the enemy's Turgai River Basin.

In order to keep all the main forces of cavalry in Europe once and for all, Ning Yuan finally chose to transfer 250,000 cavalry from the country.

......

After everything was arranged, Ning Yuan once again focused on the army of Ibn Haidal who was besieged in the Saresu River Basin.

Although Ibn Haidal no longer continued to attack and chose strategic defense, Ning Yuan still had no intention of letting them go.

Facing the enemy camp with tight defense, Ning Yuan certainly could not attack directly with a brainless attack.

In order to make the enemy unable to maintain their energy and maintain their strength, Ning Yuan directly launched a series of targeted sexual harassment operations.

When the south wind blows, Ningyuan will make a row of large pots 500 meters away from the enemy camp, and then stew the fresh mutton in the pot.

Whenever a pot of mutton is stewed, hundreds of soldiers from the Condor Empire will go there to drink and eat meat in big mouthfuls.

From morning to evening, the mutton in the iron pot never stopped. Every time a pot of mutton is stewed, someone will immediately add meat to the pot.

In this way, as long as it doesn't rain, Ningyuan will send people to set up a large iron pot formation near the enemy's camp, drink in front of the enemy's face and eat meat in big mouthfuls.

Smelling the strong aroma of meat blowing in the wind, looking at the soldiers of the Condor Empire who were drinking and eating meat in the distance, and looking at the food in their bowls, many soldiers from the Central Asian and Middle East coalition forces suddenly lost their appetite.

Once upon a time, they also ate meat every meal, but as they penetrated into the Kazakh Khanate, they ate less and less meat.

At first, I could eat meat once a day, and then I could eat meat once every three days. Now I can only find some small diced meat in the porridge that I have been put in for a long time.

As time goes by, not only does the diced meat in the porridge become less and less day by day, but even the rice porridge itself becomes thinner and thinner every day.

Looking at the rice porridge with scattered soup in the bowl and the hard cakes in their hands, many soldiers felt cold in their hearts because they knew very well why this was the case.

In fact, Ibn Haidal did not want to implement food controls on soldiers in the army at this time, because this would seriously affect the morale of the army.

However, facing the tight encirclement of the Condor Empire's army and the millions of soldiers in the army, when he didn't know when the reinforcements from Joseph would arrive, he had to make careful calculations and keep more food as much as possible.

Ibn Haidal's idea was very simple. Anyway, before Joseph's European Cavalry Army arrived, he would not take the initiative to attack the enemy.

Instead of continuing to let the soldiers have enough food every meal, it is better to let them do two meals a day.

After Joseph's reinforcements arrived, he would distribute the food and jerky saved over the days to the soldiers to eat. At that time, he would not only boost the morale of the army, but also make the soldiers grateful to him.

So even though I knew that deducting the soldiers' food in the early stage would affect their morale, Ibn Haidal still resolutely chose to do so without affecting the soldiers' health and physical strength.

Anyway, the army of the Condor Empire did not dare to attack them on their own initiative, and they would not attack them, so some influence on morale would not affect the overall situation.

Ibn Haidal's judgment was very correct. Although the soldiers of the coalition were affected, their energy was still there.

However, Ning Yuan's methods are more than these.

After seeing that the temptation of food had not had the same impact on the enemy as expected, Ning Yuan continued to send people to drink and eat meat in front of the enemy camp, and sent somersault cloud legion to launch a random air strike on the enemy camp.

During this air strike, the soldiers of the Condor Empire who threw down the somersault clouds were not deadly weapons or dirty things, but various meats wrapped in kraft paper.

Some kraft paper bags contain a piece of delicious bacon, some kraft paper bags contain fresh mutton just cooked, and some kraft paper bags contain a small piece of delicious jerky beef...

In short, the kraft paper bags dropped by the Somersault Cloud Legion contain all kinds of delicious meat. As for what it is, it is like opening a blind box, depending on everyone's luck.

At the beginning, soldiers of the Central Asian and Middle East coalition forces were worried that the Condor Heroes would poison the food, so many people were drooling, but they still didn't dare to eat it.

Maybe it was because I hadn't eaten meat for a long time, but in the end some brave soldiers chose food between life and food.

When these soldiers who tasted the food did not make any difference afterwards, the entire Central Asian and Middle Eastern coalition camp immediately became furious.

Looking at the delicious and delicious kraft paper bags, many soldiers' eyes immediately turned red.

Since the total amount of food in each kraft paper bag is very limited, only enough for one soldier to eat a few bites, many jealous soldiers took action directly in order to compete for the food in the kraft paper bag.

Every time the Somersault Cloud Legion airdrops kraft paper bags, the barracks below them will immediately appear to have varying degrees of chaos, and many soldiers will fight for food.

Even though Ibn Haidal had issued a death order and severely punished a group of unlucky guys, he still could not stop the chaos caused by the fight for food.

It is actually very simple to really solve this problem. As long as Ibn Haidal takes out the jerky in the granary and distributes it.

But that batch of jerky meat was planned to improve morale and nutrition for the army after Joseph led his army.

Now let’s take it out and distribute it, and the soldiers behind them will have to eat tough cakes and drink porridge. The morale will definitely be very sluggish by then.

So it’s not that Ibn Haidal doesn’t understand these things, but that he must take the overall situation into consideration.

In the end, facing Ning Yuan's detriment, Ibn Haidal had no choice but to turn a blind eye. As long as the soldiers did not suffer casualties due to fighting for food, he would no longer be too lazy to care about it.
