Chapter 621, Patience Game
The military strategy says: before the troops move, food and grass move first.
When an army is fighting abroad, many unfavorable factors can be overcome slowly, but the only thing that cannot be done is food and grass.
From ancient times to the present, there have been many battles that have not yet decided on the real outcome, but because of the food and grass issues, both the enemy and us eventually had to choose to stop temporarily.
At the same time, there are many battles that determine the direction of the entire battle by food and grass.
In the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping, the Qin army lured the enemy into depth, then cut off the Zhao army's food route, and finally killed 450,000 Zhao troops to achieve a great victory.
If the Zhao army's food route was not cut off by the Qin army in this battle, it would not be so easy to defeat the 400,000 army led by Zhao Kuo, even if it was given two Bai Qi in the Qin army.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang went to Qishan several times, but in the end he returned in vain. In addition to the defensive strategy adopted by Wei at that time, the biggest reason was that the subsequent supply of food and grass was not enough.
Although Shu is rich and is a country of Tianfu and has the natural barrier of Shu Road, while protecting Shu, Shu Road also limits the outward expansion of Shu power.
The reason is nothing but food and grass.
Although Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox and flowing horse and had already carried as much food as possible, it was still not enough for the army to consume it for a long time.
Therefore, every time Zhuge Liang's troops went to Qishan to fight a surprise attack. If he could not achieve the desired strategic results within the established time, he could only withdraw from Shu helplessly.
Cao Wei saw through this point, so they directly adopted a defensive strategy, defended some strategic areas, and then took rest and consumed the enemy's relatively poor comprehensive national strength while resting.
If Zhuge Liang had sufficient logistical support, he could have fought a protracted war with the Wei army. With the strength of Shu Kingdom at that time, they might not have no chance to sweep the Central Plains.
But unfortunately, a grain of rice stumped the hero. Zhuge Liang was full of revenge, but he returned empty-handed because of common things like rice and grain.
The cold weapon war in history is not so much a war between people, but a war between people and food.
If there is sufficient food and grass, then you can fight this battle as long as you want. If not, you will fall into a full passive state.
The demon coalition forces are now facing this dilemma.
Now they have countless armies but cannot send them to the battlefield.
Originally, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Daniels consumed a considerable amount of food and supplies every day.
Now that the only food outlet has been cut off, the demon coalition forces continue to increase their troops to the front line, even ensuring the daily supply of Daniels' troops has become a big problem.
Ricky's attack was fast, fierce and accurate, and one blow was fatal, directly breaking through the weakness of the demon coalition.
Now millions of troops have been assembled in the rear, and they are waiting for the food and grass transportation to set off at any time.
Now, the dwarves directly stopped the millions of troops with fire. Before opening up a new food route, these troops could only continue to wait in the rear.
Faced with this unfavorable situation, all the senior executives of the Demon Alliance were at a loss.
There are now two voices within the Demon Alliance.
One is to open up the Gushan food channel destroyed by the dwarves as soon as possible, and then continue to transport supplies to the front line from there.
One is to directly divert to Yunzhongcheng and transport materials from under the noses of the angel tribe to the front line.
There are two ways, two food routes, you must choose one, because if you want to go from the demon leader to the griffin leader, you can only go these two ways.
Although I had suffered a great loss from the Gushan Dwarf, Cook had removed the huge rocks that blocked the road and blocked the secret passages of the dwarfs, so many people tended to continue using the Gushan Dwarfs.
However, Green and Cook believed that the hidden dangers of the Lone Mountain Passage had not been completely lifted because no one knew whether the dwarves had new secret passages.
So they dare not gamble, nor can they afford to gamble. After all, if they experience another large-scale attack, they will not have to continue fighting this battle.
Although the great pangolins tamed by the Succubus tribe are also masters of hole digging, the demon tribe can no longer trust those beasts, and they only believe in themselves now.
So under the argument between Green and Cook, the Demon King Herrera finally chose to transport supplies from the front line to the Yunzhong City.
Choosing the Yunzhongcheng Grain Road seems to be providing the angels with the opportunity to attack the grain road, because they only need to fire rockets to the convoy below in the sky.
But in fact, it is not that simple, because the army of 500,000 vampires with Xue Wuji has arrived around Yunzhongcheng.
The demon army led by Green suffered all the hardships of the Air Force a while ago, and they were humiliated by the angel warriors who had learned bad things.
The arrival of the Vampire Legion provided them with the opportunity to avenge revenge, so Yunzhongcheng will become a battlefield for the game between the enemy and us in the next step.
Not only did Green want to transport food and supplies safely, he also wanted to teach those angels a lesson.
Since the vampire was unable to move during the day, Green chose to transport food at night.
Every night, a large number of convoys pass by under Yunzhongcheng City, and a small team of demon warriors are closely guarding each material car.
They all held a fire-proof cloth in their hands. Their mission was to prevent the angel warriors from rushing down to cause damage, and at the same time, they could extinguish the rockets shot by the enemy in time.
The angels in Yunzhongcheng were all angry at the demon army's unveiling transport of supplies from themselves to the front line.
They already knew the fire that occurred in Gushan, and knew that the enemy's food channels had been cut off and the situation was very good for their side.
But now, the enemy actually avoided Gushan and passed directly under Yunzhongcheng. This was clearly despising them and thinking that they were easy to bully.
They had been blamed by Ning Yuan for their inaction before. Now if the enemy was asked to transport the materials from under Yunzhong City, what would Ning Yuan think of them?
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Cliff immediately ordered that no matter how much the price it was paid, the food supply under Yunzhongcheng must be cut off. Although Yunzhongcheng could not help Ning Yuan, it could not be a drag on Ning Yuan.
After obtaining Cliff's authorization, Li Jun immediately took action.
He led the angel warriors to raid the convoy passing by from time to time, and then ignited the supplies carts.
Although the Demon Alliance dispatched some vampires to take the initiative to fight, since the number of vampires did not have an advantage, the Angel Raid Team would succeed every time.
The vampire could not stop the angel warrior from raiding, but the demon warriors below were prepared.
Whenever the transport truck is ignited, they will immediately pounce on it and use a special fireproof cloth to extinguish the flames.
As long as the angels do not use flammable materials such as tincture oil, the fire cannot be burned.
Although the fire-fighting method used by the demons is very bulky and very passive, it is very effective.
The angel warriors finally broke through the vampire blockade and ignited the supply cart. As soon as they turned around, they were extinguished by the nearby demon warriors, which made many angel warriors feel a deep sense of frustration.
Faced with this situation, the Angel clan was unwilling to accept it, and Li Jun was also unwilling to accept it. So after discussing with Cliff, they decided to play a big game with the enemy.
......
On this day, the transport convoy of the Demon Alliance was still passing by the city of Yunzhong as usual.
The Angel Commando in Yunzhong City also suddenly rushed down from the sky as usual, and then directly launched the rockets in their hands towards the material truck.
After some supplies cars were ignited, nearby demon warriors rushed over to extinguish the fire.
All this is almost exactly the same as the raids that occurred a few days ago. The only difference is that the angel commandos did not leave immediately.
A few days ago, the Angel Commando was afraid of being entangled by vampires, so they fought quickly no matter what the outcome of the battle was. But today they were abnormal. After igniting the material cart, they directly faced the vampire warriors rushing over.
Soon, the angel warriors and the vampire warriors fought together, and then corpses kept falling from the air.
While the fierce battle broke out below, two groups of people were closely following the battle situation in the night sky on Yunzhong City and a small earth slope.
In a larger hole in Yunzhong City, Cliff, Li Jun and others were closely following the situation below.
Although it was pitch black below and they could not see anything, every time [Xinbiquge www.xsbiquge.vip], there were angel scouts who would report the situation below to them, so they knew the situation below clearly.
"Master Lord, the battle below has been going on for a while. If the enemy really had ambush, they would have appeared long ago. After all, the angel commando we sent out is not a small number. Do you see if it is..."
After listening to the battle situation report for more than ten minutes, Li Jun immediately suggested to Cliff.
More than ten minutes were enough for the angel army to kill one round and a trip. Li Jun really couldn't understand why Cliff was so indecisive.
"No hurry, now the Angel Commando has the advantage, let's take a look."
Although Cliff also wanted to hurt the enemy in one fell swoop like Ritchie so that Ning Yuan could look at them with admiration, he always had a bad premonition in his heart, so he was hesitant.
"Okay, then you can continue to see. Just inform me when you will be dispatched." Li Jun glanced at Cliff, with a look of helplessness.
Although he was sent by Ning Yuan, the command of the Angels Legion of Light was in the hands of Cliff. Cliff did not speak, and he could not command the most elite legion of the Angels clan, so he could only accompany Cliff to continue waiting here.
Cliff felt the dissatisfaction in Li Jun's words, but he didn't care. After all, he couldn't tell Li Jun that he had a very bad premonition, so this action would be cancelled. Wouldn't that make people laugh?
So Cliff ignored Li Jun and continued to wait patiently. Anyway, the enemy's convoy would transport food all night, so he would not worry about having no goals when he was dispatched.
......
"Marrior Green, are you going to see dawn like this?"
I stayed with Green on this small slope for several nights. Although Xue Wuji was not tired, she was a little annoyed.
"I've been sleeping all day during the day, but I can't sleep at night anyway, so it's good to see the scenery here." Green turned his head and looked at Xue Wuji, who was a little impatient, and replied with a smile.
Xue Wuji looked at Green and curled his lips disdainfully, thinking: I have been sleeping all day long. I wanted to go out for activities at night, but I was caught by you every night. Whoever I have provoked me? If you want to see the scenery, just watch it alone. Don’t hold me together.
"General Blood, why did the enemy go against the vampire army tonight? "
Knowing that Xue Wuji was a little bored, Green took the initiative to ask, hoping to distract him.
"I'm so angry that I finally ignited some supplies cars, but they were wiped out by the demon warriors who were guarding them. They didn't dare to go down and fight to the demon warriors, so they could only vent their anger on us vampires."
Xue Wuji looked contemptuous of the Angel Raid Team's actions.
Isn’t it just that you have the protection of Yunzhongcheng? You have the ability to go out to fight with their blood clans.
After hearing Xue Wuji's return, Green smiled and shook his head, saying, "If I say they can't help it, will General Xue be the one who believes it?"
"You mean the angels will have big actions next?" Xue Wuji immediately became energetic when he heard Green say that the angels were about to stop it.
"That's right, we transported food and grass from the city of Yunzhong to the front line continuously. This is a very shame for the angel clan. If it were the Blood General, could you bear this breath?" Green looked at the night sky in the distance and asked with a smile.
"I can't help it." Xue Wuji shook his head.
"Although Cliff is quite timid, he can still see the current situation clearly.
The griffin leader is their only hope now. If the griffin leader is defeated, Yunzhongcheng will immediately become an isolated city, and they have no way to escape.
So in order to help the griffin leader, they will definitely find ways to attack our transport convoy.
After sending commandos to achieve too much results, they will dispatch the angel legion of Light that never dares to leave Yunzhongcheng."
As if everything was in control, Green licked his lips excitedly, and he could no longer wait.
"What do you mean is that the Angel Legion will launch a large-scale attack on the transport convoy on the ground?" Hearing that a great war was about to happen, Xue Wuji's eyes lit up immediately.
"That's right, it may be tonight, tomorrow night or the next few days, so we must be prepared at all times. As long as the enemy takes action, we will launch a general attack immediately." Green clenched his fists, his eyes full of murderous intentions.
"Okay, since that's the case, I will continue to wait with Marshal Green. Anyway, what we vampires lack the most is spirit.
But it would be a bit boring to do this. Why don’t we wait while tasting the wine, what do you think?”
