The night is the world of wolf cavalry, and no one can escape the keen sense of smell of wargs.

During the day, Seraph warriors rule the world, and no one can walk hundreds of kilometers under their noses without being noticed.

Under the joint blockade of these two powerful units that dominate night and day, the connection between Mashhad and Guchang County was completely cut off. Even if there were some fish that slipped through the net in Mashhad, they would not The information could not be sent to Guchang County quickly.

Soon, the difficult day finally passed.

As night fell again, dark cavalry quickly gathered on the west side of Mashhad City.

For this night attack on Guchang County, James transferred almost all the nearby cavalry units.

One hundred thousand centaur troops, 50,000 wolf cavalry, 50,000 elven archers, and a total of 200,000 elite cavalry.

"Wear silent animal hoof boots on the horse's hooves and wolf's hooves, and then set off in sequence according to the previously planned departure order."

Looking at the dark cavalry team in front of him, James immediately led a centaur army onto the official road to Guchang County after giving the order to set off.

...

Guchang County

After nightfall, Ibn Haidar did not fall asleep immediately. Under the illumination of the magic crystal lamp, he stared at the huge strategic map on the wall all night.

In recent days, although the Condor Army on the other side of the river has not launched any offensive, a large number of troops come to the north bank of the Atlac River every day and station themselves there.

So far, the number of the Condor Army stationed on the banks of the Atrak River alone has exceeded 200,000.

If this is the case, if anyone still tells him that the Condor Army does not want to cross the river, then Ibn Haidar will definitely spit in his face.

The Condor Empire kept adding troops to the banks of the Atrak River, which fully demonstrated that they were impatient to wait, so they planned to use more tactics to force the crossing of the Atrak River.

With the assistance of the Somersault Cloud Legion, the Condor Army stationed on the other side of the river only needs to successfully build an iron cable bridge, and then they can continuously transport troops to the south bank of the Atlac River through the iron cable bridge.

The reason why the Persian coalition forces on the south bank are now able to confront the Condor Army across the river is entirely because they have turned the entire Atrak River into weak water.

If the Condor Empire army on the north bank really succeeds in building an iron cable bridge, then the second and third iron cable bridges will appear.

After losing the natural barrier of the Ruoshui River, Ibn Haidar did not have much confidence that he could withstand the subsequent fierce attack of the Condor Empire, so he had to find a way to prevent all this from happening and let the gods on the other side The Eagle Empire army was unable to cross the river.

Ibn Haidar's eyes kept patrolling along the banks of the Atrak River.

Looking at the numbers marked along the coast representing the number of garrisoned troops, he kept bringing himself into Ningyuan's perspective, and then thought about where the Divine Eagle Army would choose to open the gap across the river from Ningyuan's perspective.

After pondering for a long time and failing to find the most suitable breakthrough point, Ibn Haidar could only shake his head helplessly, and then continued to increase troops to several places that he thought were more suspicious.

In fact, the weak water river defense line deployed by Ibn Haidar is still relatively unsolvable.

The forbidden air domain is combined with the forbidden water domain, coupled with the deeper water level of the Atrak River. As long as enough troops are deployed on the river bank and sufficient defense methods are prepared, even the Condor Army soldiers on the other side can With one cap and a hundred, it would be difficult for them to reach the south bank of the river.

In Ning Yuan's words, the defense system that Ibn Haidar spent so much money on was simply impossible to break through from the front.

The only drawback of this defense system is that the Atrak River is not long enough and is connected to the Caspian Sea.

It is difficult to break through this defense system, but there are still ways to bypass it.

The first way is to build a naval fleet on the Caspian Sea, then you can attack the Persian coastline near the Caspian Sea and directly enter the hinterland of Persia.

Method 2: As long as the Persian army's defense line in the Salakhs area is broken, the army of the Condor Empire can march straight in, because the starting point of the Atrak River is still a long way from Salakhs.

If we do not launch an attack on Persia in the north, there are many other ways, such as taking the sea route or via Afghanistan, etc.

For the Condor Empire, which is coming from the direction of Turkmenistan, taking the Caspian Sea is the safest way.

Because the countries near the Caspian Sea do not have any decent maritime power on the Caspian Sea, as long as the Condor Empire builds some warships on the Caspian Sea, the entire Persian Caspian Sea coastline will become the target of the Condor Empire.

This plan seems to be safe and has no side effects, but it is 100% unworkable for Ning Yuan now.

Because for Ning Yuan, what he lacks most now is time, because there are still people waiting for his rescue in a bay thousands of kilometers away.

So Ning Yuan directly rejected the time-consuming Caspian Sea landing plan, and then chose to open a breakthrough from Salahs City without hesitation.

In order to cooperate with James's actions, Ning Yuan deliberately made a move to forcefully cross the Atrak River, so that Ibn Haidar on the other side of the river had to disperse a large number of troops to the banks of the Atrak River.

In fact, Ning Yuan's move was a plan that killed two birds with one stone.

In doing so, he could force Ibn Haidar to continuously divide his troops, thereby reducing the resistance of James's army to attack Guchang County at night.

When James succeeds, he can take advantage of the enemy's chaos and no time to defend the river bank to launch a forced crossing, and then cooperate with James' army to give the enemy on the other side of the river a full blow, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy's last effort to gather together. A main force.

Even though the number of Condor troops in Ningyuan is increasing day by day, James' side is actually the top priority of this plan.

Only if everything goes well on James' side can the arrangement on Ningyuan's side be started normally.

It is precisely because of this that Ning Yuan's plan is not perfect.

The eastern front night attack plan formulated by Ning Yuan had a loophole that seemed obvious but was difficult to think of.

In order to ensure the concealment of James's actions, Ningyuan did not deploy any troops in the upper reaches of the Atlac River. All troops were deployed in the lower reaches.

The reason why Ningyuan is arranged in this way is that in addition to the fact that most of the upper reaches of the Atrak River are located in mountainous areas where the terrain is relatively steep, the main reason is that the enemy will also deploy troops in the upper reaches, thus affecting the concealment of James' army in night attacks.

Logically speaking, this is an obvious loophole, but faced with the huge pressure brought by the Condor Army, Ibn Haidar failed to think of this.

It must be said that this time, luck was once again on the side of the Condor Empire.

...

As the night got darker and darker, Ibn Haidar, who had been thinking about it all night in the camp, gradually began to yawn.

After going through everything in his mind and finding that there were no loopholes, Ibn Haidar took off his coat and got into the warm bed.

Soon, Ibn Haidar began to snore after a hard day's work.

However, before Ibn Haidar could fall asleep, a huge shout of killing suddenly came from the east of Guchang City.

After being awakened from his sleep by the cry of killing, Ibn Haidar did not bother to put on his shoes. He picked up the clothes lying beside the bed, put them on his body, and rushed out of the tent.

When Ibn Haidar rushed out of the camp, a messenger also hurried towards the camp.

After seeing the disheveled Ibn Haidar, the messenger immediately reported hurriedly: "Sir, it's bad, an enemy cavalry raided our military camp east of Guchang City.

Now that the camp has been breached, I believe it won't be long before the enemy comes to us. "

When the messenger said that the enemy was coming from the east, and it was a cavalry force, Ibn Haidar's heart suddenly pounded.

The cavalry, to the east, had broken through the Union military camp to the east.

Combining these important pieces of information, there is only one conclusion: the cities of Salahs and Mashhad have been lost.

Recalling the events of the past few days, Ibn Haidar couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

The forbidden air domain seems to limit the air force of the Condor Empire, but it also directly hands over air superiority and intelligence control to the Condor Empire.

Here, the Condor Empire with Seraph scouts has complete control over intelligence in various places.

They can cut off all information from a place at any time if they want to.

Although it cannot be completely cut off, depending on the distance, it is not a problem to cut off for three or four days.

When the intelligence system was forcibly cut off by the Seraph scouts sent by the Condor Empire, Ibn Haidar and the others could only obtain some important intelligence information by going offline once every ten game days.

This method of obtaining intelligence has a huge delay. On a battlefield where seconds are a priority, every minute may affect the outcome of the war, let alone a delay of several days.

This time, the cities of Salahs and Mashhad lost contact for three days. It was during these three days that the Condor Empire captured these two areas one after another, and then took advantage of Guchang A night raid was launched on Guchang County without the county being aware of it.

The lack of intelligence directly led to the lack of preparation of the Chengdong Army Camp. In addition, the incoming Condor Empire cavalry were all equipped with animal hoof boots that could greatly mute the sound. Therefore, the Chengdong Army Camp was breached in an instant.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the whole thing in an instant, Ibn Haidar immediately gave an order loudly: "Come, let the troops in the west and south camps of the city immediately prepare for defense.

At the same time, I notified all the troops deployed on the river bank to cheer up and be careful of the Condor Army on the other side of the river launching a forced crossing.

Tell the garrison there that no one is allowed to leave the river bank position without my order.

Go and notify the guards of Guchang Bridge and ask them to guard the bridge for me.

If the Condor Army on the other side of the river wants to seize the bridge, they can decide whether to destroy the bridge based on the situation. "

After learning that the enemies coming from the east were all cavalry, Ibn Haidar immediately knew the main intention of the enemy's night attack tonight.

The city wall of Guchang County is tall and there are three camps outside the city.

Although the East Camp has now been breached by the enemy's cavalry, when the other two camps are fully prepared, it will be difficult to breach those two camps that are ready for battle with just some cavalry.

As for Guchang City, which has high walls and thick walls, it is even less likely that it will be broken by cavalry.

Therefore, the main purpose of this cavalry tonight should be to cooperate with the main force of the Condor Empire infantry on the north bank of the Atrak River to launch a forced crossing.

In other words, the cavalry coming from the east tonight are not the protagonists, they are just bait used to disrupt the battlefield.

When they completely mess up the south bank, the Condor Empire army on the north bank of the river will immediately launch a forced crossing.

Ibn Haidar believed that he had seen through all the enemy's intentions, so he decisively abandoned the East Camp, which had been breached by the enemy's cavalry, and ordered all the troops stationed on the river bank to stand still.

He wanted to use the South Camp and the West Camp to intercept the long-distance attack of the Condor Empire Cavalry, thereby completely smashing the enemy's conspiracy to force the enemy tonight.

...

Ibn Haidar is indeed very smart, but Ning Yuan is even smarter than him in terms of war.

The real military strategists are not those who come out of the academy, but those who survive brutal wars.

Because the things learned from the academy are not necessarily effective, but those who have survived the war time and time again, the battlefield truths they master are genuine, because if those truths did not work, they would have died long ago. The battlefield is on.

As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades, in terms of actual combat experience, Ning Yuan is much better than Ibn Haidar.

As early as when making this plan, Ning Yuan had already thought of all the difficulties that might be encountered in advance.

In Ningyuan's plan, the cavalry army led by James must continuously attack the three camps outside Guchang City.

Only in this way will the Persian troops stationed on the river bank be forced to leave, and then the Condor Army on the other side of the river can launch a forced crossing.

In order to allow James to successfully attack the three camps, Ning Yuan specially allocated 100,000 centaur troops to James.

This 100,000 centaur army was the reason why James was able to break through the three camps.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Ning Yuan has even considered the field of forbidden gold.

Among these 100,000 centaur warriors, 10,000 are quite special.

These ten thousand centaur warriors don't have any metal products on their bodies. They wear leather armor sewn with water silk, and the weapons in their hands are all made of cold iron wood.

So when Ibn Haidar was confident that the Western Camp and the Southern Camp could withstand the impact of the Condor Empire cavalry, he was already at a disadvantage in this battle.
