Chapter 719, The Carat Isthmus Ravine

The Thai-Burmese army placed a large number of horses and an army defending in place on the north and south sides of the camp, and then left a mobile army to follow the fire cavalry back and forth from north to south.

When the mobile legion followed the fire cavalry back to the south side of the camp, a large number of Gris swordsmen suddenly appeared on the north side of the camp.

Unlike the dog-walking tactics of the Fire Cavalry, as soon as the Gris swordsmen arrived, they launched a fierce attack directly on the northern defense line of the Thai-Burmese army.

When the Thai-Burmese forces built their camps, they were mainly defending in the directions of the south side of the Condor Army and the east and west sides of the coastline.

To the north, they had to send a steady stream of supplies and troops to the barracks, so there were only a few horseback and improvised fortifications.

When 30,000 Gris swordsmen detoured back to the enemy's rear through the Condor Navy's transports, the northern line of the Thai-Burmese army was on the verge of collapse.

As a last resort, the Thai-Burmese army was able to send half of its mobile corps to support the northern defensive line, while the rest of the army continued to monitor the fire cavalry that used them as monkeys.

As the pressure from the other three sides increased, the interior of the Thai-Burmese camp suddenly became empty, but even so, they did not give up their surveillance of the fire cavalry.

And just when a large number of Thai-Burmese soldiers were attracted to the defensive line on all sides, a small group of Seraph soldiers suddenly descended from the sky, they sneaked into the camp of the Thai-Burmese army, and set fire to the tents.

Since everyone knew that Ning Yuan had a powerful air force corps, each force would focus on protecting its own warehouse where logistics supplies were stored when fighting against the Condor Army, so as to prevent its own grain and grass from being burned by the Condor Air Force.

The Thai Peninsula Army was defeated by the Condor Army before it burned all the logistics materials, so the Thai-Burmese coalition sent a special army to protect the warehouse located in the barracks this time.

Facing the strict defense of the Thai-Burmese coalition army, the Seraphic team brought by Ning Yuan could not find any chance to sneak attack the enemy's granary.

However, none of this mattered anymore, because the Seraphic Squad couldn't burn the enemy's granary, but Ning Yuan could artificially make the enemy think that his granary was set on fire.

As the tents were set on fire, a raging fire broke out in the camp of the Thai-Burmese army.

When the soldiers of the Condor Army saw the sky-high fire in the enemy camp, they immediately shouted: "The enemy's granary has been burned down by us, and they are cornered, brothers, follow me." ”

"Steady, give me steady, the granary is fine, it's just some tents on fire, don't believe the enemy's nonsense."

The players of the Thai-Burmese coalition army are organizing people to extinguish the fire, while constantly refuting rumors and stabilizing the morale of the army.

Although I don't know whether the Condor Army shouted true or false, the sky-high flames in the camp are real, so even if the players from Thailand and Burma desperately refute the rumors, many soldiers are still more or less affected.

At this moment, an unmoved Agni cavalry suddenly moved, and under the leadership of Ning Yuan, they quickly circled to the north of the Thai-Burmese camp and then rushed in along the gap opened by the Grisian swordsman.

Before the enemy's mobile legion that was monitoring them arrived, Ning Yuan and the Grisswordsmen quickly routed the enemy forces defending the north, and then rushed into the enemy's camp.

The biggest difference between the Fire Cavalry and ordinary cavalry is the fire iron weapons in their hands.

In addition to being able to target the scale armor of some special races, the biggest feature of the Flame Iron Weapon is that it can set fire anytime and anywhere.

When Ning Yuan led the fire cavalry to wander around the camp of the Thai-Burmese coalition army, the fire in the camp suddenly got out of control, and soon, raging flames were burning everywhere in the camp.

Although the warehouses of the Thai-Burmese coalition army were still not affected by the flames under the protection of that full-time legion, they no longer had any meaning at this time.

With smoke billowing everywhere now, who can believe that the warehouses in the camp will be safe and sound?

The Agni cavalry broke into the enemy's camp and was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Thai-Burmese coalition army, and many of the indigenous soldiers within the Thai-Burmese army suddenly lost their morale after seeing the flames and smoke billowing from behind.

With the loss of the eastern and western lines of defense, the advance army of the Thai-Burmese coalition finally collapsed completely, and many soldiers began to flee to the north.

Facing the Thai-Burmese coalition army fleeing in all directions, Ning Yuan led the fire cavalry and a part of the infantry corps with high mobility to chase after him.

This chase chased hundreds of miles at once, and in the end, only the fire cavalry led by Ning Yuan was still pursuing.

When Ning Yuan led the army to chase to the Maodang Pass, he had to stop the pursuit, because the main army of the Thai-Burmese coalition army was slowly moving from north to south.

Looking at the tall war elephants in the distance, Ning Yuan knew that the war on the Malay Peninsula was about to come to an end, because with the current strength of the Condor Army on the peninsula, he had no confidence to defeat the elite Thai-Burmese coalition army in front of him.

However, although Ning Yuan did not have the confidence to defeat the other party, the Thai-Burmese coalition army did not want to recover the peninsula area south of the Kra Isthmus, because Ning Yuan had already prepared a big gift for them.

In modern times, the construction of the Kra Isthmus Grand Canal has always been on the agenda, but due to the strong opposition of some people in Thailand and various other reasons, the construction of the Kra Isthmus Grand Canal has been rejected every time.

If the Kra Isthmus Grand Canal is successfully built, then ships traveling between East and Central Asia and Southeast Asia will no longer have to detour the Strait of Malacca, which can greatly save transportation time and transportation costs.

In ancient times, when infrastructure projects were relatively backward, it was very difficult to dig a grand canal, and it required a lot of time and manpower and material resources.

Although Ning Yuan does not have the ability to build the Kra Isthmus Grand Canal, he can artificially cut the Malay Peninsula from the Kra Isthmus.

The reason why he took the initiative to attack the vanguard camp of the Thai-Burmese coalition army was to buy enough time for his own excavation army.

In order to be able to dig a huge ravine that cut off the Malay Peninsula as soon as possible, Ning Yuan mobilized all the troops on the peninsula.

The players of the Condor Empire and the Aboriginal soldiers have recently eaten and lived in the Kra Isthmus.

While Ning Yuan led the fiery cavalry to harass the enemy in front, they dug trenches at the Kra Isthmus day and night.

When the main force of the Thai-Burmese coalition army arrived at the site of the advance legion camp that had been breached by the Condor Army, a huge ravine fifty kilometers long, twenty meters wide, and four or five meters deep appeared in front of them.

Faced with this huge ravine that almost cut off the Malay Peninsula, the top brass of the Thai-Burmese coalition army were all frowning.

Although the Condor had not yet introduced the sea, if they dared to force their attack, the raging sea would immediately rush into this huge gully as soon as the enemy dug the gap between the east and west.

By then, I am afraid that many soldiers will die in this deep ravine.

Moreover, the Condor Army also used the excavated soil to build a tall earthen wall on the south side of the ravine, and the trench and earthen wall were added, and the Condor Army occupied an absolute geographical advantage, and it was not easy for them to break through this defensive line.

Now the situation is obvious, the Condor does not want to fight them head-on, so they dug this deep ravine, and they want to use the ravine as the boundary, divide the Malay Peninsula in two, and keep this state of affairs forever.

As for the Thai-Burmese coalition forces, they are now riding tigers.

They mobilized their troops to come, and it was impossible for them to retreat directly because of a ravine.

Moreover, this ravine can only stop their army, but it cannot stop the Condor Army, because the Condor Navy completely controls the surrounding seas, and the Condor Army can drop the army anywhere by sea at any time.

Therefore, even if they chose to withdraw, they would have to leave an army north of the Kra Isthmus to prevent the Condor from suddenly moving north.

There are fewer troops left to garrison, and it is likely to be annihilated by the Condor Army like the previous advance legion.

There are more troops left behind, and there is tremendous pressure on logistics and supplies.

Moreover, they retreated because of a ravine before fighting, and they could not explain to the domestic players, so after weighing some pros and cons, the top of the Thai-Burmese coalition decided to storm the Kra Isthmus.

By storming the Kra Isthmus, the Thai-Burmese forces had to face the huge trench 20 meters wide and 4 or 5 meters deep.

It was impossible to fill an entire trench, and there was no need for it.

If the Thai-Burmese forces wanted to attack it, they only needed to fill out a passage through which the war elephants could pass.

It is not easy to build a passage that can withstand the massive size of the war elephants, because it is impossible for the Condor army on the opposite side to watch them fill in the work.

Therefore, during the preparation of materials, the Thai-Burmese coalition army organized a large number of archers to shoot at the Condor Army through the trenches.

They wanted to shoot as many Condor soldiers as possible to relieve some of the pressure on the upcoming ditch filling operation.

In the face of the Thai-Burmese coalition army's arrow rain attack, the Condor Army did not show weakness, and the players of the Dragon Legion would be enthusiastic to shoot at the enemy every day.

Although shieldmen were sent on both sides to cover the archers, the Condor side had an advantage in height, so the result of the daily battle was that the Condor side had a slight upper hand.

After discovering that the Thai-Burmese coalition army had no intention of retreating, Ning Yuan immediately canceled his plan to return to Huaxia immediately, and stayed on the front line to see how the enemy wanted to attack him.

After three days of shooting performances between the enemy and us, the Thai-Burmese coalition finally released its ultimate move.

I saw a war elephant dragging bundles of logs slowly towards the ravine.

After reaching the edge of the ravine, the elephant slave drove the war elephant to push the logs into the ditch.

As more and more logs roll down the trench, a passage made of logs is taking shape.

After seeing the enemy using logs to build a passage, Ning Yuan immediately ordered someone to throw a clay pot filled with fire oil onto a log located inside the trench, and then used a rocket to start ignition.

However, as soon as the flames came, the Thai-Burmese troops began to constantly raise wet and wet sand on the logs, and the flames were quickly extinguished under the burial of the mud and sand.

After seeing that the method of fire attack failed, Ning Yuan immediately had the ballista cart unloaded from the Navy's magic energy battleship push up, and at the same time ordered the trebuchet placed in the rear to start the throwing attack.

As the boulder kept crossing the sky, the central position of the Thai-Burmese coalition army immediately became chaotic, and many soldiers began to instinctively avoid the boulder, directly disrupting their original formation.

Under the attack of the ballista at close range, the war elephants of the Thai-Burmese coalition army were also hit by arrows.

Although the big ones were rough and thick-skinned, they were still hit to varying degrees by such a close distance.

After feeling the severe pain, the war elephants immediately began to run frantically towards the rear, no matter how hard the elephant slaves tried, they could not control the war elephants that had fallen into a state of madness.

The boulders that kept sliding from the sky, and the angry war elephants that were heavily damaged, suddenly completely disrupted the forward positions of the Thai-Burmese coalition army.

As a last resort, the top brass of the Thai-Burmese coalition army could only choose to withdraw their troops and withdraw the army to the main camp.

Although he relied on ballistas and trebuchets to crush the attack of the Thai-Burmese coalition army this time, Ning Yuan couldn't help frowning as he looked at the unformed log-rolling passages in the trenches.

Trebuchets can only serve to demoralize the enemy and destroy the enemy's formation, and the only weapon that can really repel those war elephants is the ballista.

Both the ballista and the trebuchet were unloaded from the Condor Navy's magical warships, and the stones used for the trebuchet were easy to find, but the ballista used a limited number of arrows.

The first time they used those ballistae today, they consumed a third of their crossbow arrows, and if they did it two more times, they would have run out of arrows.

The bolts used in the ballistae were specially made and required a very complex manufacturing process, which could not be replenished at the moment in the Malay Peninsula.

And without the crossbow arrows, there would be no weapons on their side that could restrain the enemy's behemoths, so Ning Yuan frowned.

At present, the Thai-Burmese army on the opposite side relies on their war elephant regiment and a hoplite legion.

The heavy infantry is easy to deal with, and the war elephant army is the biggest hidden danger.

Although there are also war elephants on the side of the Condor Army, they cannot be compared to the other party's in terms of numbers.

Therefore, if he couldn't find a way to restrain the enemy's War Elephant Legion, then Ning Yuan would not be able to return to the Huaxia District with peace of mind.

"How did the ancients hunt those elephants?"

Ning Yuan looked at the logs in the trench while thinking about how to quickly kill those behemoths.

Soon, a smile appeared on his face again, and he had already thought of a way to deal with the enemy army of war elephants.
