Because the Northern Expedition Alliance did a very good job of secrecy this time, except for some high-ranking people within them, others did not know that they had secretly contacted the Linhai Empire in the west.

When discussing within the Northern Expedition Alliance when to let the Tiger Army march eastward, Ning Yuan, like everyone else, did not know about the conspiracy of the Northern Expedition Alliance at all, and he was arranging for those troops who had already crossed the river to carry out the strategic deployment of attacking the west and defending the east.

Attacking in the west and defending in the east was a strategy that Ning Yuan came up with to deal with the demon army based on the current situation in the Weishui Valley.

The western offensive refers to the Condor Army's initiating summer offensive against the demon army in the west.

After the Condor Army captured Meixian, the demon army located in the Baoji region was immediately isolated.

After being blocked by the Condor Army by water and land, if they want to get in touch with the demon armies in other places, they must make a detour through Hanzhong through the Chencang Road.

If the Condor Army can cut off the Chencang Road, then the demon army in Baoji will only have one way to go west.

Although I don't know how much grain there is in the Baoji area, hundreds of thousands of troops are there, and the daily consumption will be an astronomical amount.

As long as the Condor Army continues to send cavalry to plunder the population of the Baoji area and destroy the crops there, the enemies of Baoji will completely lose their source of food.

Ning Yuan's planned summer offensive highlighted the word "sleepy" in its entirety.

That is, to trap the enemy in the Baoji area, and finally completely besiege them to death.

In order to completely trap the enemies of Baoji, Ning Yuan specially transferred a long-lasting centaur army to launch a harassment war against the Baoji region.

The centaur warriors also did not storm the well-defended strongholds of the demon army, they wandered around those strongholds and the outskirts of Baoji City.

As soon as a lone demon team appears, they will immediately adopt hunting tactics to surround them.

Under the attack of the javelin thrown by the centaur warrior with great force, neither the shield nor the natural scale armor could protect the safety of the demon warrior, and many demon warriors who went out died tragically under the javelin throw of the centaur warrior.

The demon army in the Baoji region also thought of setting up an ambush, leading the centaur army into the ambush circle, and then annihilating it.

But under the gaze of the Seraphic Scouts, who can ignore the Forbidden Realm, all intrigues cannot be hidden.

After losing a lot of demon squads that went out, Diop, the demon leader in the Baoji region, could only carry out strategic contraction while sending a death squad to urgently ask for help from Daniels stationed in the Chang'an region.

After the Centaur Legion controlled the situation, Ning Yuan directly sent a team of rat soldiers to the entrance of Chencang Road and forcibly cut off the road into Chencang Road.

After digging the road to Chencang Road, Ning Yuan sent a mermaid army to go upriver along the Wei River and build some simple fortifications on the passage from Baoji to Gansu, directly cutting off the passage for the demon army to retreat westward.

After the centaur legion completely restricted the range of activity of the demon army, Ning Yuan immediately sent the elven archer legion to carry out the tactics of clearing the wilderness.

The elven archers, wherever they went, would drive the population of other races there in the direction of Meixian, and then someone would be responsible for sending those who arrived in Meixian to the north bank of the Wei River through the chain bridge.

The fields in the Baoji area where crops were planted were completely reduced to grazing land for the cavalry regiment of the Condor Army.

The food that people can eat, the cavalry directly plundered it.

What is inedible to man is handed over to the horses under the cavalry to deal with, and the herds of war horses will soon destroy a farmland completely.

As a result, under the ravages of the cavalry regiment of the Condor Army, the fields in the Baoji area that were originally growing well suddenly became a mess.

......

Different from the initiative of the western attack, the major legions of the Condor Army, which carried out the task of defending the east, took a defensive position in an all-round way.

In order to wipe out the main force of the demon army between Weishui and Qinling, Ning Yuan took the initiative to give up the idea of using the cavalry regiment to invade the area east of Meixian.

He asked the major legions that had already crossed the river to use the captured demon camp as a starting point, built a large number of fortifications between Weishui and Qinling, and then waited for the demon army in Chang'an and other places to take the initiative to attack.

In order to let the demon army in the east take the initiative to attack, after building the fortifications, Ning Yuan immediately asked the Condor Army cavalry regiment that blocked the Baoji area to release water.

So after losing six or seven cavalry death squads in a row, a cavalry squad from Baoji City finally broke through the blockade of the Condor Army and rushed to Zhouzhi City.

After learning that the demon army camp opposite Meixian and Yang Ling had been lost, Daniels immediately urgently reinforced the 200,000 demon army to the Zhouzhi area.

After arranging the defense of Chang'an and other places, Daniels came to Zhouzhi City in person.

After arriving at Zhou Zhi, Daniels led a team of demon cavalry to the area close to the forward position of the Condor Army to inspect the enemy.

When he saw a large number of Condor soldiers building fortifications in place, he immediately thought of the previous confrontation with the Condor Army in Heyang.

After the Condor Army successfully crossed the river and attacked it, they did not take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, but built fortifications here, and its purpose was already obvious, that is, to seduce him to take the initiative to attack.

Thinking of the long-range attacks that the Condor had used in positional warfare, Daniels knew that he must not be led by the nose by the enemy, otherwise he would likely repeat the mistakes of Han Cheng.

Although the confrontation in the Heyang area ended with his demon army retreating on its own, it was mainly because the cavalry regiment of the Condor Army had an absolute advantage in the field at that time, and he was worried that the back road would be cut off by the Condor Army, so he took the initiative to withdraw his troops.

And after retreating to the south bank of Weishui, what they need to guard against now is the newly emerged mermaid army of the Condor Army.

The rest of the Condor Army, including the elusive Silver Pegasus Army, was sure to inflict heavy damage on it if they dared to come, so Daniels finally decided to continue to confront the Condor Army and compete for patience.

After making a decision, Daniels immediately led people back to Zhouzhi City, and then began to order the demon army stationed in the Zhouzhi area to build fortifications in situ and compete with the Condor army in the west.

When the demon messenger who broke through from the Baoji area rushed to Zhouzhi City and brought Daniels the latest news of Baoji, Daniels directly ordered someone to secretly execute the demon messengers who broke through at the risk of death, and then did nothing as if nothing had happened.

After being reawakened by Diop, Daniels has regained himself.

He didn't believe that under the strict blockade of the Condor Army, there would be messengers from Baoji City to break through the layers of blockade of the Condor Army.

This is obviously the Condor Army deliberately letting them over, wanting him to take the initiative to attack in order to rescue the demon army trapped in the Baoji area.

He didn't fall for it.

Since Diop had said that he would die for him as long as he could regain himself, it was time for Diop to make good on his promise.

At this time, you can't blame him for being cold-blooded and ruthless, because the former Daniels is known for being cold-blooded and ruthless.

If you want to blame it, you can only blame Diop's life is not good, who told him that he did not break through to the west decisively at that time.
