Chapter 388, The Verge (Fifth Update)

The orc army walked very neatly, which made everyone in the Heavenly Wind Alliance feel very incredible.

After playing the game, when Lin Xiao took the initiative to contact Li Tianqi, he knew what the reason was.

It turned out that Lin Xiao directly transferred the orc legion back with an order.

Lin Xiao's meaning was very clear, that is, the main enemy of the Eagle Hoof Empire was Ning Yuan's Condor Empire, so he hoped that Li Tianqi would be able to restrain himself and not challenge the sensitive nerves of the orcs, otherwise it would be difficult for him to suppress those troops on the border.

Lin Xiao originally planned to form an alliance with Li Tianqi to deal with Ning Yuan after getting rid of the cancer in the country, but after such a thing, even he didn't dare to say the word alliance, because he couldn't bear the anger of the orcs.

So he could only make a suggestion to Li Tianqi in the real world to maintain restraint between the two sides for the time being, and he hoped that Li Tianqi could understand who was the biggest threat to him and who was his biggest enemy.

Li Tianqi scoffed at Lin Xiao's last hint, in his opinion, both the Eagle Hoof Empire and the Divine Eagle Empire were his great enemies, if it weren't for the lack of strength for the time being, he would have made a move on a certain side a long time ago.

However, he still listened to Lin Xiao's suggestion that he should stop slaughtering orcs, and when the Tianfeng cavalry under his command set off again, they more often used the method of expulsion to the orc tribes they encountered, rather than directly killing them all when they came up.

And just when Li Tianqi was about to dominate the entire Horqin Prairie, a bad news made him have to recall all the Tianfeng cavalry again, because Ning Yuan led the army to fight.

......

After Ning Yuan returned to Condor City, he immediately recalled Bai Ze, James and other generals.

After explaining the current situation they were facing, everyone agreed that the priority should be to deal with the enemy in the steppes, occupy the entire Korqin steppe, and connect the enclave where the barbarian alliance was located with the empire.

After determining the Horqin strategy, the huge war machine of the Condor Empire immediately began to operate in full swing.

In order to be foolproof, Ning Yuan sent a large number of swanman scouts into the Horqin grassland, and at the same time, a large number of troops and supplies began to gather in Zhangwu City.

When Ning Yuan discovered that the Tianfeng Alliance did not have a single city on the prairie, he immediately determined the strategic policy of using cavalry against cavalry.

In order to succeed in the first battle, Ning Yuan sent all the elven archers in the empire to clear all the areas between Zhangwu City and the Horqin Sands, and then set up a logistics supply depot every fifty miles.

When the last logistics supply depot was built fifty kilometers away from the Horqin Oasis, Ning Yuan personally led an army of 300,000 straight to the base camp of the Heavenly Wind Alliance.

......

Ning Yuan built logistics supply depots in front of Li Tianqi, and his arrogance was extremely arrogant, for which Li Tianqi said that it was unbearable, so he sent a large number of Tianfeng cavalry to stop the actions of the Condor Army.

But in the face of the elite elven archers, the Skywind cavalry quickly touched the dust of their noses.

Their arrows are not as accurate as the elves, the explosive power of the Mongolian horses under their crotch is not as good as the steppe white horses that the elves ride, and the defensive ability of the leather armor on his body is not as strong as that of the elves.

In the face of the shameless kite tactics of the elven archers, they finally realized what it was impossible to reach.

They used to make many enemies feel desperate and unreachable, and they were often proud of that, but now they themselves are the desperate side, and this gap has hit them hard.

After throwing some corpses behind, the Tianfeng cavalry reluctantly returned to the Horqin Oasis.

In the face of the Divine Eagle Army's step-by-step tactics, Li Tianqi and the others were at a loss, they really couldn't think of any way to crack the enemy's tactics.

After a heated discussion, they came up with two options to ward off the enemy.

The first plan is to gather all the Celestial Wind cavalry to take the initiative and fight a frontal cavalry battle with the enemy.

The second option is to wait for the enemy to come to the door on the Horqin Oasis, and then use the advantage of familiarity with the terrain to fight a decisive battle with the enemy on the oasis.

In fact, there is a third plan, that is, to retreat north immediately, lure the enemy deep in, and then use the depth of the steppe to fight a protracted battle with the enemy.

However, all the people present were bloody men, and they didn't think that they couldn't defeat the enemy, so no one was willing to say this third option, and everyone hoped to be able to have a bloody battle with the enemy, even if they failed in the end, they would have no regrets.

Faced with the two plans, the people of the Heavenly Wind Alliance were arguing with red faces.

Some people think that the most powerful thing under Ning Yuan is the hoplites, and in the face of the hoplites who are in formation, their Tianfeng cavalry has no chance of winning, so instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to attack, so that the enemy's hoplites have no use.

Others thought that the risk of taking the initiative was too great, because the enemy's cavalry was not below them.

If they take the initiative to attack, their lair will become very empty, and if the enemy cavalry goes around to attack their lair and cut off their supplies, they will be completely homeless.

So it's better to just wait for work and have a big battle with the enemy in your lair.

And the most important thing is that they didn't find that Ning Yuan came with hoplites, so when the information was inaccurate, there was really no need for them to take the risk of taking the initiative.

While the two sides were arguing over whether they should take the initiative to attack, a group of scouts who risked their lives to break through the enemy blockade brought back a very important piece of information: the attacking enemy forces were all cavalry, and no large infantry corps was found.

After receiving this information, the two parties, who had been arguing a lot just now, immediately agreed and decided to gather all the horses and horses to fight the enemy to the death on the Horqin Oasis.

After making a decision, Li Tianqi immediately issued a war mobilization order, and after receiving the order, the young and middle-aged men of various tribes on the prairie immediately rode on war horses and rushed to the Horqin Oasis with dry food.

In just a few days, 700,000 cavalry had gathered on the Horqin Oasis.

Although there are only more than 300,000 Tianfeng cavalry, and the rest are ordinary herdsmen, as a nation on horseback, all herdsmen are born to be the best riders.

They may not be as capable of frontal combat as those who have received formal training, but once they are engaged in a tailwind battle, they will immediately become ferocious wolves, no less lethal and destructive than regular legions.

Li Tianqi recruited them over, not to let them be tough and head-on, but to wait for the Tianfeng cavalry to break through the enemy's formation, and then let them go up to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Although the elven archers under Ning Yuan were very thieves, which made them very helpless, but on the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of cavalry were engaged in a full-scale battle, in the end, it was up to the cavalry to decide the winner.

No matter how accurate the archery skills of the elven archers were, they could not have been flying kites on the battlefield all the time.

When the elven archers and his Celestial Wind Cavalry came face off, he was absolutely sure that he would be able to defeat them, because his Celestial Breeze Cavalry was the true master of the prairie, and he had absolute confidence in them.
