Chapter 1439, Sunrise in the North and Rain in the South(1/2)
After encountering serious obstacles in the attack on Guchang County, James, who was unwilling to give up, soon led an army to the periphery of Salahs City.
Facing the nine-grid defensive position outside Salahs City, James sent people to experiment one by one.
When all the results were summarized to him one by one, he could only frown and lead the army to evacuate again.
Regarding the Nine Forbiddens included in the Nine Forbidden God Stone, James has encountered three, namely the Forbidden Air, the Forbidden Gold and the Forbidden Water.
Although James didn't have much clue about the other six bans, these three bans had already made him feel a little headache.
The forbidden airfield directly prevented the most powerful air force of the Condor Empire from participating in the war.
The Forbidden Gold Field directly abolished the advantages of the Condor Empire's army in terms of weapons and equipment.
The water-forbidden area forced the army of the Condor Empire to be careful of every deep water in Persia.
If you encounter a big river like the Atrac River, you have to be careful even when building bridges.
Now there are only three types of ban areas, which is already like this. If there are some other ban areas nearby, the situation will become more complicated.
As of now, Salahs City, which has a nine-grid defense system, is more difficult to attack, because if you want to attack Salahs City, the Condor Empire army responsible for siege must first capture at least three grids in the same direction.
If the moat near the city wall has a water-forbidden area and a forbidden gold area above the city wall, the difficulty of siege will be further increased, because the previous siege army mainly relied on high-altitude fire-gathering shooting of the Somersault Cloud Legion.
When the ranged attack of the Somersault Cloud Legion fails, the only way is to send melee troops to fight in the city.
Although the defenders on the city wall could not use any metal weapons at this time, they could use pure wooden weapons such as stones and sticks to defend against the enemy.
Although the somersault cloud legion on our side was able to carry some stones to launch air strikes on the enemies on the city wall, they still wanted to be deprived of all the weapons and equipment containing metals when they entered the forbidden gold field from the air.
Let the Somersault Cloud Legion disarm and go to the enemy for high-altitude throws?
Not to mention the throwing effect, the pitiful load of Somersault Cloud probably has to spend most of the time loading stones repeatedly.
Therefore, once the long-range attack of the Somersault Cloud Legion is abolished, the advantages of the city wall and bullet preparation of the city guard will suddenly appear.
The city of Salahs is just blocking the only way to enter the Persian Plateau from outside the Great Wall of Desperation. If the army of the Condor Empire wants to penetrate the Persian Plateau, it must first break through the city of Salahs, otherwise the logistics supply line will face the risk of being cut off at any time.
......
Compared with Salahs City, although there are more enemy troops in the Guchang area, the strategic depth there is also greater.
Even if the ancient city is as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the city of Salahs, as long as the army of the Condor Empire can successfully cross the Atrak River, they will have the chance to break it in a short time.
Because many enemy troops on the south bank of the Atlak River still hold metal weapons such as swords, this means that the banned gold field only exists on the north bank of the Atlak River, and the south bank is completely normal.
This can also be seen from the enemy's layout near Guchang City.
There is a bridge on the north bank where the 10,000 powerful orc troops are stationed, and on the south bank on the other end of the bridge is densely packed with enemies. The closer to the camp of the bridge, the more powerful orc warriors there are.
It is obvious that the army of ten thousand powerful orcs on the North Shore is just a bait.
The enemy's purpose is to use this army of ten thousand orcs as bait to seduce the Condor Heroes Empire to send orcs into the forbidden gold field to start a hand-to-hand battle with them.
Once the orc army on the north shore consumes too much, the orc army on the south shore will immediately support the north shore through the bridge.
In this way, if James wants to go to the south bank, he must defeat all the orc troops on the south bank, otherwise he will have to lead the army to continue to stay on the north bank, because when the Atrak River has become weak water, it is basically impossible for the Condors to cross the river in other places.
A small army may not be able to defend itself, but the main army must build bridges if it wants to cross the river.
When you build the bridge, the Persian cavalry on the south bank have already arrived, so if you want to cross the river, you must walk through the only bridge in Guchang City.
Although the Condor Army was not afraid of taking off all its equipment and fighting with the flesh and blood, James did not want to fight like this with the enemy because this was simply a trap set by the enemy.
The enemy's intention is obvious. They want to use the forbidden airfield to erase the advantages of the Condor Empire's army in weapons and equipment, and then use the advantages of quantity to consume the vitality of the Condor Empire in the Middle East.
The reason why the various armies of the Condor Empire were invincible in Central Asia and the Middle East was not only because of the strong strength of the soldiers themselves, but also because of the advantages in weapons and equipment were also one of the very important reasons.
If the soldiers of the Orc Army were really allowed to remove all their weapons and equipment, their advantages would be wiped out in an instant.
In addition, the enemy is also dispatched powerful orc warriors. In terms of physical fitness, the orc warriors on the Condor Heroes Empire are not much better than the orc warriors on the other side.
So once you really fight with the hand-to-hand combat from fist to flesh, even if the Eagle Empire can defeat the enemy, the final result will probably be that it will hurt the enemy by one thousand and hurt by eight hundred.
This kind of attrition war of both losses is undoubtedly a greater loss to the Condor Empire, which takes the elite military route, so it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, James would not choose to fight the attrition war of self-destruction with the enemy.
......
If he didn't want to fight the war of attrition, he had to find another way. Soon James thought of a good way to defeat the enemy quickly, so he immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to give it to Ning Yuan.
In the letter, James reported the situation here in detail to Ning Yuan, and then emphasized the enemy's Nine Forbidden Area.
After reporting on the current situation, James hopes that Ning Yuan can send a demon clan legion to help him break the enemy's forbidden gold field. If possible, it is best to transfer the most elite Wind-winged Bat Legion, the Condor Empire, to come over.
In terms of close combat, if the giant ape dares to say second, no one dares to compete for this first place.
As long as the mountain-moving giant ape legion can come over and then be supplemented with a demon clan legion that can transform large beasts, the forbidden gold field that the enemy is proud of will immediately become their nightmare.
......
When James's division encountered resistance on the southern line, Ningyuan division on the northern line ushered in major positive news.
After breaking through several consecutive times but failing, as daily food gradually decreased, the Central Asian and Middle East coalition forces trapped on the west bank of the Saresu River finally couldn't hold on.
In order to fill your stomach, the soldiers of the coalition army turned the ground of the entire camp to the sky.
The rats and rabbits and rats under the ground were eaten by them, and they didn't even let go of the grass roots growing in the soil. They put them directly into the pot to make porridge and drink it into their stomachs.
Gu Yu
Originally, Ibn Haidal was planning to leave a batch of war horses for breaking through and escaping, but after starving, the soldiers were almost eating people.
Under the trend of hunger, they didn't care about Ibn Haidal's orders at all. A large group of soldiers with green eyes rushed directly into the cavalry camp, and then slaughtered all the war horses on the spot to stew them.
When Ibn Haidal learned that the orc army was attacking the cavalry camp, he rushed over, and the fragrance was already filled with the cavalry camp.
Faced with the orc army's eye, the soldiers in the cavalry camp just shouted a few symbolically, and then followed behind the orc warriors with excitement.
They had long wanted to slaughter these war horses that were fighting with them for food every day, but due to Ibn Haidal's order, they did not dare to do it themselves.
So they were cheering in their hearts about the arrival of the orc army. Before the orc warriors could even walk to the horse hangar, they had already set up the iron pot and prepared firewood.
When they learned that the cavalry battalion had begun to slaughter horses, the generals from other military camps immediately brought people to the cavalry battalion to ask for horse meat.
Fifty thousand war horses seem to be a lot, but facing millions of hungry pairs of eyes with stars, these horse meat can only be eaten by the soldiers.
It’s not that the soldiers didn’t want to keep some horse meat until the second meal before eating, but that they didn’t dare to keep it for the second meal.
Because almost no one took the initiative to stop when the meal was started. As long as there was meat in the pot, they kept eating, fearing that if they didn't eat it, they would be eaten up by others.
So, under such fierce competition, the meat produced by 50,000 war horses was eaten up by the army within one day.
After eating the horse meat, the horse bones were stewed by the soldiers for several days. In the end, they simply ground into bone meal and ate them directly into their stomachs.
When the horse bones were eaten up, all the soldiers were once again in a dilemma of starvation.
Looking at the thinner rice porridge in the pot, many soldiers lay listlessly on the ground, because only in this way could their croaking stomach feel better.
After learning that the soldiers in the enemy camp had obviously lost weight for several laps, Ning Yuan realized that it was time to end the war here.
......
After being patient and hungry for the enemy for another five days, on the morning of the sixth day, Ningyuan asked the soldiers to set up countless large iron pots on the periphery of the enemy camp.
As a large amount of potatoes, dried vegetables and beef and mutton were put into the pot, the whole area was filled with an attractive meaty aroma in a short while.
After smelling the tempting fragrance, a commotion immediately came from the camp of the Central Asian and Middle Eastern Alliance. Many soldiers followed the fragrance and came to the camp facing the Condor Army's position.
Smelling the tempting fragrance coming from the enemy's position opposite, many soldiers' stomachs immediately started to scream in disarray.
The soldiers gathered together, swallowing their saliva in pain, while looking at the opposite side.
Just as countless coalition soldiers looked at the position of the Condor Heroes with a look of hope, a pure white and flawless somersault cloud slowly rose from the position of the Condor Heroes. After reaching a height of 70 meters, the somersault cloud slowly flew towards the camp of the coalition army.
When flying to a place fifty meters away from the coalition camp, the somersault cloud suddenly stopped, and then a noble human man slowly walked to the edge of the somersault cloud.
After glanced at the dense crowd below, the noble man said loudly: "God has the virtue of life, and the goddess of nature has the heart of everything.
Our Condor Empire respects the goddess of nature and is also compatible with all religions in the world.
Being enemies with us, you were dead.
But last night, the goddess of nature asked me to dream, and I would like to give you a chance to reform.
Although I am a powerful king of the Eagle Empire, I cannot go against the will of the Goddess of Nature, so today I am willing to give you a chance to choose.
There are two roads in front of you now.
One is to put down your weapons and surrender unconditionally.
One is to stay here and wait for death.
If you choose to put down your weapons and surrender, then you can now walk to the position behind me with your weapons.
As long as you throw away the weapons in your hands where white chess pieces are inserted in front of your position, you can safely pass the line of defense to a paradise full of food.
There are not only delicious stews, but also various fruits to quench thirst and greasy.
As long as you sincerely surrender to the Condor Empire, I will do my best to satisfy the wish of the Goddess of Nature, so that you and your family can have meat every day and eat without worries about food and clothing in your life.
If you choose to resist stubbornly, then after three days, everyone who remains in the encirclement will die, and we will not accept anyone's surrender by then.
Okay, the recruitment time is only three days, you can think about it now.
By the way, I advise you not to surrender in an attempt to make a breakthrough.
To be continued...
