The trunk of the great tree of the Silver Star Empire has been completely rotted, and even the most powerful doctors cannot bring it back to life.

Ning Yuan is a veritable quack, and his task is to make the forest of the Condor Empire continue to expand outward, so he doesn't have to think about the dead wood at all, he just needs to remove all the obstacles that hinder the growth of the forest in time.

In line with this scavenger-like concept, Ning Yuan did not put down the butcher's knife in his hand after killing the civil and military officials of the Silver Star Empire.

In order to eradicate all the impurities and completely tie those who had returned to him to the chariot of the Condor Empire, Ning Yuan immediately carried out a brutal purge in Silver Star City.

War is always only won and lost, and there is no right or wrong, as long as there are different positions, then the enemy does not distinguish between race and age, and mercy for the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

In order to prevent future troubles, in order to let the new contributors offer their names to themselves, and in order to deter those who waver, as long as it was the people of the hostile camp, whether men, women, or children, they all fell under Ning Yuan's butcher's knife.

On that day, there was a wailing and blood flowing all over Silver Star City, and in the end, even Tang Yu, who had always been known for his decisiveness, trembled a little.

It's a pity that there is no turning back when he opens the bow, this plan was jointly formulated by him and Ning Yuan, so he can only hide quietly alone, out of sight and out of mind.

Ignoring Tang Yu who was hiding, Ning Yuan had all the corpses transported outside the city after the massacre, and directly built a huge Jingguan.

Immediately afterwards, he issued a rebellion notice to various localities.

In the notice, he directly listed the various crimes committed by those traitors, and vowed to use the blood of the traitors to honor the soul of the elven king Cameron.

With the rapid spread of the rebellion announcement and the Silverstar City massacre, the split of the Silverstar Empire was no longer irreversible.

In order to protect themselves, the local generals who held the army began to stand on their own feet.

The major forces also gathered their armies and contacted the self-reliant warlords around them, who were preparing to form a coalition to recover Silver Star City and then resist the invasion of the Condor Empire.

However, before their coalition was fully formed, the army of the Condor Empire had already appeared.

The Hebei region within the Great Wall is a vast plain, and after losing the protection of the Great Wall, there is almost no natural danger on the Hebei Plain.

The plain area is the most suitable battlefield for large-scale cavalry clusters, and the Silver Star Raiders formulated by Ning Yuan and Tang Yu are precisely the cavalry as the main participating force.

When the Seraphic Angel delivered the news to the other side of the Great Wall, the Condor Empire Cavalry Group, which had been preparing for a long time, immediately entered the Silver Star Empire from Shanhaiguan, Gubeikou and other passes.

The Silver Star Empire is also a country rich in cavalry, the most famous of which is the Silver Pegasus Legion.

After the Silver Pegasus Legion completely fell to Ning Yuan, they were now left with only a few ordinary cavalry legions, most of which were light cavalry.

In order to deal with the enemy's light cavalry legion, Ning Yuan dispatched a total of 400,000 centaur troops, 500,000 elven archer cavalry troops, 50,000 mounted heavy cavalry and 50,000 dwarven heavy cavalry, a total of 1 million cavalry.

In addition to cavalry, Ning Yuan also mobilized 300,000 Condor Guards, 300,000 dwarf infantry, and 400,000 werewolf infantry.

Ning Yuan's strategic goal this time is very clear, that is, to give priority to solving the enemy's cavalry corps, and then use the super mobility ability of the cavalry to divide and surround the enemy and break them individually.

Although there are many strong cities on the Hebei Plain, the cities are only suitable for infantry to hold, and they cannot hold too many cavalry at all.

Therefore, the enemy now has only two options, either to have a decisive battle with the cavalry of the Condor Empire, or to avoid its edge and wait for the fighters.

In the face of the menacing Condor Imperial Cavalry Regiment, the major forces simply did not dare to put their precious cavalry up to fight the enemy to the death.

Because once the cavalry regiment was defeated, it would be difficult for them to have a chance to turn over, so they decisively chose the second plan.

Choosing the second option meant that they would have to cede large swathes of territory to the Condor Cavalry, and then make the cities there lonely.

In fact, when they made their choice, they had already given up those cities, but giving up was giving up, but they would never let the Condor Army easily occupy those cities.

In order to buy enough time for their own defense, they gave the defenders of each city a death order, that is, the city is in the people, and the city is broken.

They hope to exchange space for time, take advantage of the strategic depth of the Hebei Plain, drag down the pace of the Condor Army, and buy more time for their side.

Their strategy was quite correct at this point, but they ignored the maneuverability of the cavalry.

After the enemy's cavalry regiment took the initiative to evade, the cavalry regiment of the Condor Army did not care about the closed gates of the city at all, and they gave full play to the mobility of the cavalry, and it only took a few days to reach the east bank of the Grand Canal.

Seeing that the Condor Army was about to join forces with Ning Yuan in Silver Star City, the major forces finally did not dare to retreat.

They displayed a large number of troops on the west bank of the Grand Canal, preparing to use the Grand Canal to block the advance of the Condor cavalry.

Ning Yuan immediately laughed happily after learning about the enemy's arrangement.

What he was most worried about before was that the enemy would use strategic depth to fight guerrilla warfare with him, and if the enemy blindly avoided it, the battle line of the Condor Army would become longer and longer, and then their logistical supply would become a big problem.

Don't look at the current Condor cavalry marching all the way, giving full play to the mobility of the cavalry, but their way of advancing is actually not sustainable, because the cavalry also needs logistical supplies.

Although horses are herbivores, they can survive as long as there is grass, but in reality it is difficult for them to eat enough only by eating grass.

The reason why those wild horses that live in the wild spend a lot of time every day is because the nutrients that grass can provide are too limited, so they must use the number to make up for the lack of nutrition.

In addition to grass, they also eat a certain amount of beans and other grains every day, and even the staple food of many war horses is no longer grass, but soybeans, oats, sorghum and other foods for human consumption.

In a way, a good war horse is treated even better than an ordinary soldier.

Although the treatment of the Condor Empire's war horses did not exceed that of ordinary soldiers, it was definitely no worse than them, because their staple food included soybeans, sorghum, and various other fruits in addition to grass.

Now the Condor cavalry can temporarily get out of logistics only because they carry a lot of food themselves.

Ordinary light cavalry can carry the knight's own food at most, but centaur warriors can also carry the food of the war horse, so they don't have to worry about food problems for a short time.

But once it's been a long time, they have to find a way to solve the problem of food.

At this time, if the logistics supply is not available, they can only go to the nearby villages to collect grain, or simply burn and loot, and these methods are not what Ning Yuan wants to see.

Although the current situation of the Silver Star Empire was planned by Ning Yuan, he was only targeting those player forces and some indigenous forces that opposed him, and ordinary people were not in his plan.

Although in the event of a war, the most bitter people are the people at the bottom, but Ning Yuan will not let his reputation be damaged among the common people, because the next production recovery will depend on those ordinary people.

Therefore, Ning Yuan had already strictly enforced military discipline before setting off, and when he did not receive an order, no Condor army could harass those ordinary people outside the city for no reason.

......

In order to completely drag the enemy in the Grand Canal area, Ning Yuan also began to increase troops in the Grand Canal area non-stop.

As more and more troops were massed in the Grand Canal area, in the end, neither of us nor the enemy could take the initiative to withdraw, because once they retreated, they would be pursued by the enemy, and then they would probably be crushed.

Faced with this confrontation across the river, the major forces regretted it a little, but now they had no choice, so they could only actively build various fortifications while asking for help from other guilds.

The Silver Star City region has 100,000 Silver Pegasus Knights and 100,000 Elven Praetorian Guards, and these 200,000 troops are the two most elite legions in the entire Silver Star Empire.

Now the Silver Star Alliance is facing off against the Condor Army in the Grand Canal area, and Silver Star City is located in the rear of the Alliance Army, so the 200,000 troops of Silver Star City have become a big problem for the Silver Star Alliance.

In order to avoid the situation of being attacked on the back of the belly, the Silver Star Alliance has transferred millions of troops from the rear, and they are ready to capture Silver Star City first, and then concentrate on dealing with the Condor Army on the other side of the river.

After learning that there was a large force of enemies marching towards Silver Star City, Ning Yuan immediately made the decision to take the initiative to attack, he could not allow any enemy to approach Silver Star City.

Although Silver Star City is the capital of the Silver Star Empire, it still can't hold more than 100,000 Silver Pegasus Legions, and the location of the Silver Pegasus Legion is actually in the Silver Pegasus Secret Realm, which is twenty kilometers away from Silver Star City.

If the enemy is allowed to come, then with the loss of the surrounding area of Silver Star City, the connection between the garrison of the Silver Pegasus Legion and Silver Star City will be completely severed, and at that time, Ning Yuan will probably only be able to hold one of these two places.

Whether it was Silver Star City or Silver Pegasus Secret Realm, it was impossible for Ning Yuan to give up.

The entire Silver Star City area is of great strategic importance to this war, it is like a nail, firmly nailed to the enemy's abdomen, so that the enemy cannot concentrate all his forces in one place, so the Silver Star City area must not be lost.

Although the number of enemies attacking this time was very large, they were coming from different routes towards Silver Star City, and after having the perverted scout of the Seraph, Ning Yuan had a good chance to defeat the enemies individually.

......

After handing over the defense of Silver Star City to Tang Yu, Ning Yuan led the Silver Pegasus Legion towards Ren Qiu's enemy army.

The enemy army passing through Renqiu was a mixed army of humans and elves, with a total of more than 300,000 men, of which 90 percent were infantry.

When the enemy army came to the Dasha River, Ning Yuan led the Silver Pegasus Legion from thirty kilometers away.

By the time the Silver Pegasus Legion arrived there, a third of the enemy had already crossed the Dasha River.

Facing the enemy who was crossing the river, Ning Yuan led the Silver Pegasus Legion to decisively rush towards the 200,000 enemy troops who had not yet crossed the river.

When the enemy below saw the silver Pegasus flying in the sky, their morale immediately fell to the bottom.

As soldiers of the Silver Star Empire, in addition to being promoted to a knighthood, their biggest dream is to become a member of the Silver Pegasus Legion and ride the Silver Pegasus to soar in the sky.

But now that the legion that once haunted them suddenly became their enemy, how many people can accept this kind of gap calmly?

They really didn't want to fight against the legion that they once regarded as idols, but as soldiers, they had to obey the orders of their superiors, so they had to aim their weapons at their former idols.

As the people of the Silver Star Empire, they knew better than anyone else the specialties of the Silver Pegasus Legion, so in the face of the charge of the Silver Pegasus Legion, they did not use long-range attacks, but used shields and spears to form a dense phalanx.

Faced with a dense phalanx of spears, Ning Yuan did not choose to attack, under his orders, teams of silver Pegasus knights kept hovering over the enemy, and then used bows and arrows to snipe those enemies who showed flaws.

In the face of an enemy army with no air power, the Silver Pegasus Legion is simply a scoundrel to the extreme.

Enemies cannot use any ranged attacks against them, but they can shoot them with ranged attacks from high altitudes with impunity.

Except for Ning Yuan, a human being, the other Silver Pegasus Knights are all elves, not only do they have excellent melee skills, but archery skills are their housekeeping skills, so they are real all-round cavalry.

Each knight of the Silver Pegasus would carry four quivers when he set out on an expedition, each containing fifty arrows, two hundred for each person, and twenty million for 100,000 people.

In other words, in theory, the enemies below would have to withstand the attack of 20 million arrows from the Silver Pegasus Legion before they could get a chance to engage them in close combat.

Of course, the Silver Pegasus Knight isn't an iron man, so the above situation won't happen.

After each Silver Pegasus Knight fires ten arrows in a row, they must stop shooting, because if they have too much stamina, it will affect the next melee combat.

However, a million arrows are terrifying enough, after all, the enemy below is not a heavy armor legion, and all they can use to save their lives is a shield.

As the Silver Pegasus Knights kept stretching their bows and arrows, the ground suddenly resounded with screams one after another.

If you want to crush an army, sometimes it is not the best choice to kill the enemy directly, and it is best to completely destroy the enemy's self-confidence.

Under Ning Yuan's order, the Silver Pegasus Knights focused on the enemy's non-lethal parts to shoot, so after a while, a large number of wounded soldiers appeared on the ground.

Without timely medical treatment, the wounded soldiers could only lie there and wail in pain.

At first, the enemy was not too affected, but as the wounded soldiers increased, the wailing became louder and louder, and the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became solemn.

Seeing that the comrades-in-arms around him kept keeping blood and suffering every moment, many soldiers' endurance began to reach the limit, and they began to become more and more irritable and restless.

As the first emotionally broken soldier got up from the line and began to flee to the rear without being chased by the Silver Pegasus Knight, the second and third escapees soon appeared.

Then, like a flood, it could no longer be controlled, and everyone began to desperately flee back, because only by escaping in that direction would they not be pursued by the Silver Pegasus Knight.

Some of the players in the army tried their best to prevent the soldiers from escaping, but as soon as they showed their heads, they were immediately shot and killed on the spot by the Silver Pegasus Knight above them.

As a result, the soldiers on the battlefield soon understood the meaning of the Silver Pegasus Legion, that is, if they want to live, they must go back wherever they come, otherwise they will be killed.

Seeing that their idol had left a way for them to live, the soldiers of this mixed legion immediately lost their fighting spirit, and they all turned around and set out on the way home.

The soldiers who had crossed the Dasha River had watched the events on the other side of the river, and when they saw the Silver Pegasus Legion flying towards them, they immediately realized that they would turn around and cross the river, and then return the same way.

"Don't patronize yourself, take all the wounded soldiers with you.

I've memorized them all, and when I get home, I'll stay at home honestly, waiting for the Condor army to come and receive you.

If you dare to cross the Yellow River, then I will not show mercy next time. ”

Seeing that the soldiers on the other side knew each other very well, Ning Yuan immediately yelled at them.

Although these 300,000 soldiers are most likely completely destroyed, and they will basically not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, they can inflict unimaginable blows on the enemy.

With these 300,000 people helping Ning Yuan to do propaganda for free, I believe that in the future, when other enemies face the Silver Pegasus Legion, their morale will also plummet, and they may even collapse without a fight.

"Let's go, let's go to the next goal."

Thinking that he could destroy the enemy's mental defenses without much effort, Ning Yuan suddenly became full of style.
