Whether in ancient times or in later generations, in addition to the desperate fight of soldiers in front of the battle, the real comparison of war is logistics supply. The reason why the Central Plains Dynasty could not win a complete victory every time it attacked the northern grasslands, even if it could defeat the grassland peoples, was that the Central Plains army relied too much on logistics supplies.

The grassland peoples also need supplies, but their supplies are cattle, sheep and grass, and they don't need people to drag horses at all, and they are naturally superior to the Central Plains army in terms of speed of action and mobility.

If you can't win, you will run, and this is the fundamental reason why the Central Plains army cannot completely defeat the grassland peoples.

Speaking of logistics and supplies, the corners of Zhen's mouth showed a strange smile, what he thought was very difficult was like a child's play in front of Black Domain City.

The appearance of the horse-drawn sleigh gave Zhen Da a completely new understanding of Black Domain City.

Ordinary carriages, not to mention transporting supplies, could not drive in the snow at all, once the wheels were stuck in the snow, it was almost a nightmare, and there were no roads on the grassland at all, so they could only be supported by horses, which was simply a burden, which was the fatal shortcoming of Murowei who could not travel long distances in winter.

However, Black City has solved this problem perfectly, and the method is actually similar to the principle of snowboarding, replacing the heavy carriage wheels with two very wide and long planks, and pulling the planks to gallop on the snow, the speed is called a fast! It's not at all the same as riding a horse in the snow, and it's not a problem to run hundreds of miles in the snow a day.

With the three sharp weapons of snow nests, skis and horse-drawn sleigh cars, Zhen Da spent half a month, traveled more than 1,000 miles, and wiped out four miniature tribes in a row, losing less than 10% of the soldiers.

With this result, it is not an exaggeration for Zhen Da to say that he is a famous general today.

But Zhen Da couldn't be happy, for no other reason, so that the results of the battle would be the same for whoever commanded it, and he couldn't reflect his role in operational command at all.

Long-distance attack, surprise, in the whole process, except for Zhen Da to arrange a task before launching a sneak attack, almost every time the miniature tribe is exterminated, almost all of them perished in their sleep, disappearing from the land of Murowei, even their own army, not even thirty percent of the combat effectiveness has been exerted, this is not war at all, but slaughter!

"Rest for an hour and get ready to attack!"

Zhen Sixteen in the snow nest lay lazily on a blanket, closed his eyes slightly and said: "After this battle, you can go back, you can live a period of time in peace, the real war will start soon!" ”

"Is Black City really going to do something to the three tribes of the Mughal tribe?"

Zhen Da was a little excited, after all, in the Black Domain City, there are only himself and Zhen Er who have thousands of military positions, and one of the two will always stay in the Black Domain City, and the other is responsible for external battles, and the candidates for the battle have more than sixty percent of the chance to be themselves.

"Is that certain?" Zhen Sixteen looked at the snow top road above his head in confusion.

Zhen Da didn't understand that after the winter battle, Black Domain City had already been given a chance to breathe, even if other tribes went south, Black Domain City also had a strategic space, and it could completely rest for a year, and after a year, Black Domain City would be even stronger.

Active offense and defense have completely different meanings.

Although the active attack can choose the target to attack, it needs to pay a greater price, and it is obvious that Black City does not have such strength at present.

The defense is completely different, although it is very passive, it can use the advantage of walls and supplies to drag down the enemy, and there is no need to increase casualties.

What's more, Black Domain City has not yet gained a foothold in Murowei, and it has not yet reached the period of expansion, so it is completely pointless to attack other tribes, which is somewhat contrary to Zhen Da's combat philosophy.

"Nope! Black Domain City is not our base area, and neither its strategic location nor geographical conditions can meet our future development needs. The western part of the Lingxi and the plain where the Mengwu tribe is located is our resting place, and this place is close to the Heilongjiang River, 300 miles from north to south and 600 miles from east to west, except for the harsh climatic conditions, it is very suitable as our base ....... ”

"Once we stop the pace of expansion, the western part of the ridge and the Mengwu tribe are likely to go south around next year, and then the war will burn directly to the doorstep, think about it, there are now more than two million livestock in Black Domain City, can the barren land of Black Domain City be able to support it?"

"You have some point?"

Zhen Da couldn't find a reason to refute Zhen Sixteen, except for the fierce fire oil, the land in Black Domain City was barren within a hundred miles, not to mention planting crops, even there were not many grassroots.

Of course they don't know, it's all thanks to the fierce fire oil in the ground here!

In such a place, the larger tribes can't look down on it at all, and only some miniature tribes that are suppressed and are about to perish will choose to hide here to survive.

Black Domain City is now preparing to build a second city thirty miles to the northeast, considering the need for grazing next year, otherwise the nearly 50,000 people in Black Domain City will really drink the northwest wind.

"Does Black City already have a battle plan?" Zhen Da's heart turned over the river, but his face pretended to be light.

"There is only one preliminary idea, mainly to see what materials the master can send this time?"

Zhen Da was very unhappy in his heart, he didn't even hear any news about such a big thing, if Zhen Sixteen hadn't mentioned it to himself, I'm afraid he would only know about it after the battle plan was formulated!

"Do you have a plan in mind?"

"Yes! Do you want to hear the good or the bad? ”

"Let's talk about the worst first!" Zhen Da doesn't care.

"The worst possibility is to build another small city in the south of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains to resist the southward movement of the western part of the ridge, firmly control the north of the Black Domain City, and recuperate for a year before launching an attack!"

"And the best?"

Zhen Sixteen opened his mouth to show two rows of white teeth and said: "It has become a fact that the western part of the Lingxi will go south next year, but I don't know the direction of the other party's southward heading, according to the usual possibility, the western part of the Lingxi should migrate to the southwest for two hundred miles, and graze in the east of the Nenjiang River, we can take the opportunity to cross the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and occupy the hometown in the west of the Ling, which may have a direct conflict with the Muslim Army, as long as we can hold out for half a year, the Mugyu Department will have to give up the strategy of continuing to go south, and instead compete with the western part of the Lingxi for the ...... of the pastures in the Nenjiang Plain." ”

Zhen Dagang wanted to question Zhen Sixteen's plan, but suddenly saw a fire flickering behind the opposite hill from his clairvoyance, and he was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the snow nest, "Not good! Is there a situation? ”

"What's the situation?"

Zhen Sixteen also turned over, almost collapsing the snow on the top, and his small eyes looked out, only to see that behind the valley six or seven miles away from him, a long snake composed of firelight appeared, moving in the direction of the miniature tribe that he was preparing to sneak attack tonight.

"What's going on?"
