Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Although Li Yufeng was still not on good terms with the major guilds in the Huaxia region represented by Ye Ziqing and others after joining the Northern Expedition Alliance, no matter how great the conflict between them was, he still understood the truth of the cold.

Once the Henan area guarded by Ye Ziqing and others falls, then he and Zhao Guangfu's Hubei will have to face the front of the Condor Army.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to fall out with Ye Ziqing and others until the threat from the Condor Empire is completely resolved.

As a member of the Northern Expedition Alliance, he has a mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial relationship with Ye Ziqing and others. Therefore, when facing the Condor Empire, he will not only not fall out with Ye Ziqing and others, but will also work hard. Maintain the interests of the entire Northern Expedition Alliance.

Now Ye Ziqing and others are all on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and only Shui Ruyan is left in the old nest in Henan.

Although Shui Ruyan's Shuiyun Pavilion is also one of the top ten guilds in Huaxia District, as the president of Shuiyun Pavilion, she also has excellent leadership skills.

But after all, she is just a female, and when it comes to marching and fighting, she is still much inferior to Dongfang Ming and others.

Sometimes the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If the top commander in charge of the three armies hesitates even a little, he may miss the best fighter opportunity and cause immeasurable losses.

Li Yufeng was worried that Shui Ruyan would have a hard time facing the experienced Condor Army, so he had to first analyze the Condor Army's real main attack point this time. Only by understanding the true intention of the Condor Army, they Only then can we make the most correct response.

With the current national strength of the Condor Army, they cannot maintain millions of troops on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau while launching a full-scale attack on Hubei and Henan.

Therefore, their real main attack direction should only be one way, and the attacks in other places are feints, in order to disrupt their own attention and provide cover for the real main attack point along that way.

After eliminating the Condor Army in Hangu Pass and Shangnan County, based on the current performance of the Condor Army, they are most likely to attack the Hubei area guarded by themselves and Zhao Guangfu.

Whether it was the Condor Navy that forcibly landed from the north bank of Yichang, or the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan himself, Li Yufeng felt that Ning Yuan really wanted to take over the entire Hubei region in one go this time.

But when he learned that the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan had not captured Tiaowanwan Town in the northern part of Baokang County, he always had a strange feeling in his heart, as if the Condor Air Force had deliberately not captured it.

The Shenying Army has been secretly planning for so long, so it is absolutely impossible for them not to know the importance of Tongtuanwan Town, a transportation hub connecting Zhuxi County and the Hubei Plain area.

As long as the Shenying Army captures Tiaowan Town, the troops of the Northern Expedition Alliance stationed in Zhuxi County, Zhushan County and Fang County will immediately become turtles in the urn.

After being cut off from their logistical supply lines, the troops stationed in those three counties will soon be in crisis of running out of food.

If the Northern Expedition Alliance cannot retake Transit Bay Town in a short period of time, the Northern Expedition Alliance troops stationed in those three counties will definitely defeat themselves.

After losing the elite troops in those three counties, their strength was definitely severely damaged. When the time came to face the Condor Army that invaded the Hubei Plains, they would have no choice but to huddle in the city and conduct passive defense.

Transition Bay Town is definitely a lifeline for the Northern Expedition Alliance troops stationed in Hubei.

Therefore, Li Yufeng really couldn't figure out why Ning Yuan would lead the main force of the Condor Air Force to attack the relatively unimportant Nanzhang County.

As for the more important town of Transition Bay, he only sent a small-scale Condor Air Force, and after the failure of the first attack, he directly gave up the next attack there.

Any player with some brains can see how important Transition Bay Town is.

Ning Yuan has been fighting in the north and south for so long. No matter how simple-minded he is, he shouldn't be able to tell. What's more, he has so many aboriginal think tanks and player think tanks under him.

Ning Yuan alone could not imagine that there was such a slight possibility, but so many people could not imagine that it was absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Li Yufeng always felt that there must be some conspiracy behind the Shenying Army's failure to capture Transition Bay Town.

If combined with the Dashi Kingdom, which sent an army of 200,000 elite orcs to attack the Henan area, then this transitional bay town was probably left by Ning Yuan to deliberately confuse his sight.

Although the army of 200,000 is not a lot, the 200,000 elite orc army of the Great Stone Kingdom is no joke.

If they don't have an army that can resist those elite orcs head-on, then an army of 200,000 orcs will be enough to turn the entire Henan region upside down.

The reason why they were able to defeat the orc army of the Big Stone Kingdom last time was mainly because they took advantage of the opponent's weakness of being careless and separated the opponent's wolf cavalry legion and the bear heavy infantry legion.

Then, relying on the heavy cavalry army pieced together by our own side and the divine arm bow, which is extremely lethal to light armor, we severely damaged the enemy's wolf cavalry army.

After suffering a big loss last time, the Dashi Kingdom will definitely not give itself a chance to defeat each other this time. Therefore, compared to the Condor Army with multiple troops, Li Yufeng still believes that the 200,000 elite orcs of the Dashi Kingdom The army is more difficult to chew.

Even though Ning Yuan is currently leading hundreds of thousands of the Condor Air Force to be stationed in Nanzhang County, not far from Xiangyang, and the Mermaid Legion of the Condor Army has successfully landed on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the Yichang section, Li Yufeng still has a feeling.

That is, all the military operations launched by the Condor Army are actually feints. Its purpose is to contain as many of its own troops as possible and provide cover for the 200,000 elite orc army of the Dashi Kingdom. It is the real main attacking army this time.

On the surface, there are only some bandit cavalry cooperating with the orc army in the Great Stone Kingdom, so it should be the least powerful route.

On the Hubei side, the Shenying Army is a joint force of land, water and air forces, showing great determination, and the scale of the troops dispatched is also the largest.

However, if we carefully analyze the terrain of the two regions, it is not difficult to find that it is much more difficult to capture Hubei than to capture Henan.

There are tall mountains to the west of the Hubei region. Except for the Flying Corps, other armies can basically only look at the mountains and sigh.

The plains in Hubei are densely covered with waterways, with rivers and lakes everywhere. It is very unfriendly to troops accustomed to fighting in the northern region.

Now that the rainy season is coming in Hubei, many low-lying areas will turn into a vast ocean, and it will be even more difficult for the troops coming from the north to move forward.

Although the Condor Army has a mermaid army that can fight in the water, the mermaid army has limited attack capabilities. It is impossible for them to break through some of their own solid cities with the mermaid army alone. If they want to attack the city, they still have to dispatch those A ground corps that is good at attacking tough targets.

As for the dragon warriors hidden by Ning Yuanxue, their ability to move clouds and spread rain is absolutely nothing compared to the plum rain season in Hubei.

All cities in Hubei are built in relatively high areas where floods cannot reach them. Each city has an excellent drainage system.

Those cities are not even afraid of heavy rainstorms that can last for days and nights, not to mention the ability of dragon warriors to move clouds and spread rain, which is obviously much inferior.

The rainy weather and dense rivers here in Hubei, plus the Han River that bisects the Han River Plain from north to south, plus the Dahong Mountain located in the middle of the Han River Plain, and the low mountains and hills of Northeast Hubei located in the east of Hubei , It is not realistic at all for the Condor Army to capture the Hubei area during the rainy season in summer.

When Yu Jin led a large army to support Cao Ren, it was because the Han River overflowed and was trapped on the high ground by the flood that gave Guan Yu a chance to defeat him.

I heard that Ning Yuan is an out-and-out fan of the Three Kingdoms. His idol is Boss Cao. Logically speaking, he shouldn't know how terrible the summer floods in Hubei are. Isn't he afraid that he will lose both sides and dig up the river embankments? Will he flood the Seventh Army?

No matter how you analyze it, summer is not a good season to attack Hubei. If Ning Yuan really wants to attack Hubei, he should choose to attack in winter.

Because the temperature in Hubei is not very low in winter and there is not much rain, this season is very suitable for marching and fighting.

The Henan region adjacent to Hubei is exactly the opposite.

Except for the mountainous areas to the west of Zhengzhou and the Nanyang Basin, most of the eastern parts of Henan are flat plains.

The orc army of the Dashi Kingdom attacked from the east. Before reaching Zhengzhou, they were faced with endless plains. Except for the city, the Northern Expedition Alliance had no danger to defend there.

Although Henan is about to enter the rainy season, there is still a certain gap between the rainy season there and Hubei.

Moreover, the orcs have always been known for their ability to endure hardships. As long as the rivers are not flooding, some rain cannot stop their progress. Rainy night raids are the best attack method for the orc army.

Facing the 200,000 orc army that invaded Henan, if the troops stationed there by the Northern Expedition Alliance could not withstand the orc attack in the field, they would have no choice but to huddle into cities and defend them.

Although in the battle to defend the city, the Northern Expedition Alliance army can use the advantages of the city wall to consume a large amount of the effective strength of the orc army, but if the orc army chooses to besiege rather than attack, once the food and grass stored in the city are exhausted, the Northern Expedition Alliance army in the city will only I can take the initiative to kill myself.

In this way, although they delayed for a long time, it was still difficult to escape the result of the destruction of the entire army. This was also extremely detrimental to the Northern Expedition Alliance, whose territory was getting smaller and smaller.

The area of ​​cultivated land in Henan ranks second in China. It is one of the important grain producing areas in China and one of the important grain producing areas in the Northern Expedition Alliance.

After losing Anhui and Jiangsu, the Northern Expedition Alliance only had Henan and Hubei left north of the Yangtze River. If the East Henan Plain in the east of Henan was lost again, it would only have a lonely Hubei, facing the Condor Empire. If they attack fiercely, they will definitely not be able to sustain it for too long.

Therefore, the real intention of the Shenying Army this time is probably to take advantage of the absence of the main players of the Northern Expedition Alliance to attack the East Henan Plain in eastern Henan.

Even if they cannot capture the East Henan Plain in a short period of time, as long as the entire East Henan Plain is plunged into war, their goal can be achieved.

Because the Northern Expedition Alliance must not lose the important production area of ​​the Eastern Henan Plain, they now urgently need the grain output of the Eastern Henan Plain this year.

Once the eastern Henan Plain is cut off from production this year, after the Yangtze River waterway is cut off by the Shenying Army, it is absolutely impossible to feed the armies in Henan and Hubei in the area close to Hubei.

Therefore, all the offensives launched by the Shenying Army this time are probably fake. Their purpose is to contain the troops of the Northern Expedition Alliance in various places. Their real purpose is only one, and that is to occupy the Eastern Henan Plain, or to make the Eastern Henan Plain this year Absolute childbirth.

And what the bandit cavalry are doing now from the Anhui area further proves this point.

They neither fought head-on with the Northern Expedition Alliance troops nor captured cities and territories. Their purpose was very clear from the beginning, which was to rob people, livestock, food, and everything they could take away.

Now because of their looting operations, many villages and towns in the southern part of the eastern Henan Plain have been emptied of people and their houses are full of broken walls that have been burned into ruins.

Nowadays, those places are no longer inhabited by humans. Even wild cats and dogs are rarely seen.

If those bandit cavalry are allowed to continue to be so unscrupulous, then it is estimated that it won't be long before the entire eastern Henan Plain will be devastated by them.

Judging from the performance of Shui Ruyan and others who were stationed in Zhengzhou, it seemed that they were not aware of the terrifying destructive power of those bandit cavalry, or they were aware of it but were powerless.

Because facing the attack of the 200,000 elite orc troops of the Great Stone Kingdom, they simply could not find many mobile cavalry to deal with those difficult bandit cavalry.

There are probably fewer cavalry sent to suppress the bandits, and they will probably be eaten by those bandit cavalry.

If more cavalry were sent, the bandit cavalry would probably disperse in a hurry, without giving them a chance to fight head-on.

When facing the strong pressure brought by the orc army, it is impossible for the cavalry under Shui Ruyan to stay in the southern part of the East Henan Plain for a long time and play hide-and-seek with the bandit cavalry.

So they could only watch helplessly as the bandit cavalry wreaked havoc on the plains of eastern Henan, eventually causing the people there to be displaced and become refugees.

If you want to avoid this extremely unfavorable situation for the Northern Expedition Alliance, then you must have a cavalry stationed in the southern part of the Eastern Henan Plain to prevent the harassment and destruction of the bandit cavalry.

Only in this way can they completely crack the Condor Empire's shocking conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Li Yufeng's eyes gradually became sharp, and he had made a decision in his heart.
