Chapter 684: Recapture the Territory
Seeing that Li Ran's idea was clear, and even the dangerous position of the defense was marked, Zhou Xun and others knew that these were all thought out by him. While sighing, they also raised questions about some of the defense problems. The general point was to surround the other party and cut off their food sources with all their might, so that they could break their own destruction. 8 Novels`
Although the general direction has been determined, there are still many problems in this regard when it comes to specific implementation. So the meeting lasted for nearly half a day before it ended. It was not until the evening that Zhou Xun and others left the conference hall.
That night, Zhou Xun hosted the teammates in Thun City called in the company lounge to tell the story and the details of the specific actions.
So in this way, in the next two days, all preparations were in full swing. Until early on the third morning, although snowflakes were still dancing in the sky and harsh cold winds, as the territory gate opened, nearly 20,000 soldiers and logistics personnel, no less than their number, walked out, followed by hundreds of transport convoys led by pack beasts and horses, driving for several kilometers towards the Leicester Mountains.
In this battle, in addition to almost all the soldiers in the territory, the cold-proof tents brought out from many supplies alone reached more than 7,000 felts, as well as as many as 300 trucks of grain, vegetables and jerky, plus one hundred and twenty crossbows and countless quilt furs, the scale was very large.`
Due to the weather and the heavy convoy, the cavalry could reach for half a day and a large army in one day. They did not arrive at the first defense point until the next afternoon.
After stationing the large army, at noon the next day, under the leadership of Xia Houben, Huanbing Nannan, Zhou Tong, Qian Hui and others, a thousand mantis warriors, six hundred barbarian bulls and a large number of cavalry troops continued to move forward with a little outdoor living supplies and slowly drove towards the elves with nearly 60,000 troops.
Among these people, the willow branches on the evening and the moonlight were also among them. At this time, he looked back at the large army that had basically completed the deployment in the vicinity of the rear. The two couldn't help but look at each other.
It turns out that they should have gone back some time ago, but the loss of the elf territory left the two people behind. One was to help, and the other was to see how Li Ran could survive this crisis.
However, what they did not expect was that Li Ran seemed to have no way to give up there, but just yesterday, they found that the entire territory was in combat readiness as soon as they went online. `When Cao Dayong and others did not hide it, they realized today's action. Unexpectedly, Li Ran chose to encircle the elves in this weather.
Because of the invasion of the Elf Territory, they had talked with the third uncle Hu Hualin and the old man before, and even tried to deduce it once or twice at home. Based on Li Ran's existing military strength and opponent situation, the final conclusion was that Li Ran's existing military strength could only maintain this situation at most, although the opponent would not be able to break the City of Toon by the other party. However, it was very difficult to regain the Elf Territory.
Originally, when he heard the news of sending troops, he made an appointment with Yudun and Yue Shang Liushao and thought Li Ran was just impulsive, but when Cao Dayong said the reason for Li Ran to send troops, they suddenly realized. It turned out that Li Ran's war against the elves' territory had actually started on the day he learned that the territory was taken, but the theme of this war was food.
They came for a while. Apart from lamenting the territory and military strength that Li Ran had, they did not see any difference in this person. On the contrary, they were still a little disappointed with the execution ability of Li Ran and his men, but until this moment when their army was really dispatched, they suddenly felt like a storm was about to come and wind filled the building.
At this moment, not only lamented the depth of Li Ran's cunning, they had not even known his teammates for several months, but were also amazed at the cooperation and morale of this army.
The moment Li Ran gave the order, this territory that seemed very quiet on weekdays was like a killing machine that had been parked for a long time suddenly being pressed. Whether it was materials and equipment, it was all ready in just one or two days. Looking at the excitement of the soldiers when they received combat preparation supplies, the unconscious confidence on their faces proved that they were real elites in the killing field, and they were definitely not those novices who seemed very high in the level but were the first time they were on the battlefield.
At this time, they went to war with Huan Bing Nannan. This cute and well-behaved little girl was only in the middle of her training. However, she led nearly a thousand high-level frost elephant mastiffs as the key to this war. Following her patrol was also the suggestion of the moon on the willows, and Li Ran also agreed to this.
Unlike usual, this little girl still looked shy when she was in the army, but since the moment she led the Frost Elephant Mastiff to go on the battle alone, the smile on her face was still the same, but her whole aura was completely different. The calmness and calmness were by no means a fashion.
In the following days of battle, the little girl was very comfortable in commanding a surprise attack or facing the encirclement of the elves. Under her command, these unruly frost elephant mastiffs were also like arms to advance and retreat in a straight manner. They extended at the forefront of the entire encirclement, like an unpredictable hurricane swept away wantonly, facing a small number of collection teams and guards. They were agile and free when they were surrounded by the opponent. They introduced them into the second line of defense several times, and cooperated with the cavalryman Manniu led by Xia Houben and Zhou Tong to destroy the opponent.
In just two days, the man made an appointment with Dusk and Yue Shang Liushao to make a judgment based on his own experience, that is, this elves tribe is in danger.
The development of the situation was as they expected. On the sixth day after they completed the siege, the elf tribe finally couldn't help it. Instead of waiting for death and being besieged by the other party and dying, they chose to face the war.
Without the advantage of defending the city, this elves army, which had been hungry for months due to food problems and had greatly reduced their strength, could not break through the defense line that Li Ran deployed at the critical juncture. The legendary green dragons and many forest dragon beasts were even less likely to lose their ability to suck a weak dragon breath, and suffered heavy casualties under the attack of more than 100 crossbows.
In the snowy melee battle, these elf warriors also lost their original agility and speed. Coupled with the decline in physical energy caused by food problems, they were defeated by the attacks of Li Ran's many powerful troops. The battle was only halfway through. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the leader of this elf tribe had no choice but to return to the territory.
