Chapter 201, Waiting for the Rabbit

"Come on, order the Battle Angel Legion to take the wing as a unit, immediately take to the air for me to cordon off this area, and once you find a small force of the enemy, immediately snipe it.

Order the cavalry troops from west to east, pull out a blockade line for me, and absolutely not let a single person pass.

Let the werewolf guerrillas and fox guerrillas immediately conduct a carpet search for me from north to south, and don't let go of any corner. ”

Now it was a race against time, so after Ning Yuan thought for a moment, he immediately gave orders one after another.

Although he couldn't guess which escape plan Duan Tiande would choose, Ning Yuan would never let him break through his blockade line, because he already knew the approximate location of Duan Tiande's city, so he would never let Duan Tiande escape back to the city.

"Lord Qi, the Battle Angel Squad has discovered more than a dozen enemy cavalry squads, and with the cooperation of the nearby werewolf guerrillas, the enemy has been completely annihilated."

"Enlighten the lord, the swan man scouts have found that there are more than a dozen enemy cavalry detachments fleeing to the south, whether to let the battle angel squad go in pursuit, please ask the lord for instructions."

"Lord Qiqi, I found several enemy cavalry detachments on the east and west sides trying to bypass our blockade line, and they have been forced back by our cavalry."

"Lord Qiqi, I found that the enemy's main army is marching north, there are about 100,000 people, and they are still more than seventy kilometers away from the blockade line of our cavalry."

......

Ning Yuan's signal soldiers kept bringing back all kinds of information, and for each piece of information, Ning Yuan analyzed it very carefully, and then the more he analyzed, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

"What is this kid Duan Tiande doing?"

Although he knew that those cavalry squads were all suspicious soldiers arranged by Duan Tiande, Duan Tiande's main army had been advancing northward, so Ning Yuan was very confused now.

It stands to reason that if Duan Tiande is bent on escaping, then he should let the main army avoid it as much as possible, after all, he should also know that he is not Ning Yuan's opponent.

But now his main army has been advancing northward, it seems that he wants to fight Ning Yuan head-on, does he have any tricks to defeat Ning Yuan's Condor Legion head-on?

Or did he want to sacrifice this legion to create a chance for his escape? If this is the case, then Ning Yuan has to admire his courage and boldness.

You must know that this is an army of more than 100,000 people, after losing this legion, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to ease his breath, anyway, if it is Ning Yuan, he definitely does not have such courage.

So, did Duan Tiande really want to sacrifice this legion to buy time for his escape?

The answer is brutal, but it's true.

In fact, Duan Tiande was reluctant to sacrifice this legion, but the grain and grass he carried on this expedition was limited, so even if he had the heart to let this legion avoid Ning Yuan's army, it would not work, because the grain and grass in the army was only enough to last for three or four days.

Originally, he planned to destroy the large dwarven gathering place that he found and lead the army back the same way, so he didn't bring too much grain and grass with him on this expedition, how could he have expected that Ning Yuan would attack him during this time period.

He had also heard about the between Ning Yuan and Qin Feng, and he didn't know Chen Siqi at all, so he never thought that Ning Yuan would come to invade him, after all, he was not Ning Yuan's potential rival.

The moment he learned that Ning Yuan had invaded him, Duan Tiande's whole person was completely confused, because he couldn't figure out what he had here that Ning Yuan was worth grabbing.

The dwarf civilization and the elven civilization Ning Yuan already have it, and there are natural wonders or something, and there is only a garbage mulberry tree in his territory.

As for some kind of large-scale ore vein that has just been discovered, it is worth Ning Yuan to come and take a trip, but the key is that no one knows about the existence of this ore vein except himself.

Then the only possibility is that Ning Yuan has taken a fancy to the halfling civilization in his territory.

However, the halfling civilization can be said to be the most useless of all special civilizations, except for being able to tinker with some gadgets, the role they can play in the war is too limited, is he really worth Ning Yuan to use a precious divine dragon token to snatch?

I'm afraid Duan Tiande never dreamed that Ning Yuan had taken a fancy to the halflings' ability to build crossbows and axles.

There is no way, the technology of the Condor Leader is a deformed technology, in some ways, the development of the Condor Leader is ahead of the vast majority of player lords, but in some aspects, the Condor Leader is the bottom of the existence.

Although the hand crossbow invented by the halflings was short in range, small in power, and seriously lacking in lethality, what Ning Yuan needed was their knowledge of crossbow making, because he had ready-made crossbow making drawings in his territory, and he just needed these halflings to help him make some more precise small parts.

Maybe these parts are not too delicate for other player lords, but for Ning Yuan, they are a hurdle.

It's a flat river in the past, and if you can't get over, you'll always be stuck, there's no way, who told him that the lord can't do it himself.

Therefore, in order to make up for the impact on the territory because of himself, Ning Yuan could only snatch some of the fruits of his labor that he thought were more important.

In Duan Tiande's eyes, in addition to the fact that the halflings had some use in beast taming, in other aspects, they could not be compared to the dwarves at all, because the crossbows and axles in his territory were all made under his guidance.

He believed that if the halflings were replaced by dwarves, then they would definitely be able to achieve better results, because dwarves should be more talented in forging, and all they lacked now was such an excellent mentor as themselves, and with their own guidance, they would definitely be able to excel.

When many player lords were desperately trying to bring some modern technology into the game, Duan Tiande could never have imagined that there was a guy like Ning Yuan who was waiting for death.

How would he know that some simple small parts and a simple axle could make Ning Yuan kill himself.

After all, as long as the player lords study carefully after the game, they can be initially mastered, especially for some students majoring in mechanical design, these are all basic knowledge.

But now that the wood is in the boat, it doesn't matter whether you can figure it out or not, the most important thing now is how to deal with this unfavorable situation.

Originally, Duan Tiande wanted the army to continue to attack the large dwarven gathering place, and then use the battle to preserve this legion.

But when he remembered that Ning Yuan had a large number of cavalry and werewolf guerrillas under his command, he gave up this idea again.

Because the legion brought out is an infantry legion, as long as it is found by Ning Yuan, there is no possibility of escape.

Therefore, instead of being consumed by the aborigines and cheapening Ning Yuan, it is better to directly let them fight with Ning Yuan's army, and then he can secretly return to the city while the two armies are fighting.

That's right, Duan Tiande finally decided to secretly return to his city.

Although in this way, once Ning Yuan chooses to attack the city after not finding him, he is likely to be directly exposed, but instead of dying outside, it is better to rely on the strong city to have a good deal with the other party.

There are a total of four cities in Duan Tiande's territory, which are Qinglong City, Xuanwu City, Villain City, and Maple Leaf City.

Among them, Qinglong City is his main city, and the city is mainly dominated by human races.

Xuanwu City had just been built, and it was prepared by him for the dwarves, and most of the current residents in the city were also Terrans.

The villain city is a city dominated by halflings, except for some halfling craftsmen who live in Qinglong City, the other halflings in his territory live in the villain city.

Maple Leaf City is a city he built specifically for the elves, and it is inhabited by elves.

Because of the existence of the fog of trickery, no matter which city he fled to, Ning Yuan would not be able to find him.

And once Ning Yuan used the War Ancient Tree to attack the city, then the distance between the four cities was enough for the War Ancient Tree to walk for a while.

Although it was impossible for any city to withstand the siege of the War Ancient Tree, what Duan Tiande needed now was time.

As long as the game time of the day is over, he will release the news of Ning Yuan's invasion of him, and whether Ning Yuan will choose to withdraw at that time depends entirely on how much pressure Ning Yuan's enemies can give him.

And the added advantage of escaping back to the city is that you can hide in the city, because often the most dangerous places are the safest.

If he was hiding in Tibet in the wilderness, Duan Tiande really had no confidence that he would be able to hold out until Ningyuan withdrew his troops.

Because in addition to evading the search and capture of the werewolf guerrillas, battle angels, and swan scouts under Ning Yuan, he also had to keep out of the attacks of those aboriginal tribes at all times.

Although there were no werewolf warriors in Duan Tiande's territory, he still knew a lot about the powerful race in this orc race.

Werewolves are best at long-range running and night raids, and they have excellent speed and stamina, and pursuit is what they are best at.

So once Ning Yuan sent a large number of werewolf guerrillas to hunt him down, he was not absolutely sure that he would be able to evade the round-up of the best hunters in these games.

Needless to say, the Battle Angels and Swan Man Guerrillas have the ability to hunt down a wide area.

They can see a very large space in the sky, and if there is no place to hide, it will be difficult to escape their sharp eyes.

The only blind spots for flying races like them may be the forests and mountains on the ground, as their gaze cannot penetrate the dense woods and rocks.

However, if they were to hunt down with the werewolf guerrillas, it would be really hard to escape their hunt unless they could find a very, very hidden place.

As for the indigenous tribes, it is even more dangerous, for strangers they don't know, they will either kill each other directly, or they will take everyone back as slaves.

Originally, Duan Tiande was not very afraid of those aboriginal tribes, because the number of troops under his command far exceeded those aboriginal tribes.

But the problem he encountered now was that he didn't dare to bring too many personal guards.

Because the target is too big, it can easily be discovered by those eyes in the sky, so those originally harmless aboriginal tribes have now become his talismans.

It was precisely because of the above considerations that Duan Tiande would want to risk returning to his city.

In order to be able to interfere with Ning Yuan's line of sight, Duan Tiande asked each of the Terran guards under him to ride on war horses, and led a small group of halfling dragon knights to break through in all directions.

The task of these decoys was to attract those eyes flying in the sky and create a space for Duan Tiande's true body to escape.

Duan Tiande organized a total of thirty-six decoy squads and ordered them to break through in different directions, while he himself quietly took twenty elven ranger guards and secretly advanced towards Xuanwu City on foot.

Although the speed of riding a war horse can be faster, the risk of being exposed by riding a war horse is also very large, so Duan Tiande simply abandoned the war horse and chose to walk.

Not to mention, the bait team he sent out successfully attracted some battle angel squads and werewolf guerrillas, and then he took twenty guards to sneak around the first blockade line set by Ning Yuan.

After successfully bypassing the first blockade, Duan Tiande and his guards found a hidden position to hide, he was waiting for an opportunity, that is, the time when Ning Yuan gathered most of the cavalry army back to encircle and suppress his main army.

Although in terms of weaponry and combat effectiveness, Duan Tiande's main army could not defeat Ning Yuan's Condor Legion, but after all, his army had 150,000 people.

If he wanted to eat these 150,000 people, Ning Yuan had to transfer his main cavalry legion over, otherwise he would not be able to stop his main army with just those fast werewolf guerrillas.

Although Ning Yuan's subordinates also had a heavy infantry legion, Duan Tiande was not blind, and he could see where the ancient tree of war was.

Although those heavy infantry were powerful, their speed was not much faster than that of the Battle Array Ancient Tree.

Now in addition to the four-legged cavalry and winged flying troops, that is, werewolf guerrillas and fox guerrillas can have this strength.

Therefore, if Ning Yuan wants to eat his main army, he must transfer the cavalry over, otherwise it is not certain who will eat whom only by relying on those werewolf guerrillas and fox guerrillas.

Duan Tiande's speculation was very correct, when Ning Yuan learned that the enemy's main army was getting closer and closer to the blockade line, he had to order the transfer back of two divisions of light cavalry and one division of elven archers, otherwise he would not be able to stop the opponent's main army at all.

After the cavalry of the three divisions was transferred, the blockade line set up by Ning Yuan suddenly became full of holes, and then Duan Tiande took advantage of the night to quietly rush to Xuanwu City with the elven guards.

After avoiding several waves of cavalry patrols sent by the enemy in a row, Duan Tiande and his elven guards successfully came to a small forest twenty kilometers outside Xuanwu City.

In front of the grove is a two-kilometre-wide meadow, and beyond that meadow, there is an undulating hilly terrain in front of you.

As long as they were able to enter the hilly terrain, the strategic escape would have been largely successful, as it would have been difficult for the enemy to spot them in the mountains.

Duan Tiande lay quietly on the grass for more than half an hour, and after a cavalry patrol gradually moved away with torches, he immediately led the elven guards out of the small forest, and then ran wildly towards the hill opposite the forest.

1,800 meters..., 1,500 meters..., 1,000 meters..., 800 meters....

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the hill, several black shadows suddenly sprang out from the grass in front of him, and when the black shadows saw Duan Tiande and the others, they immediately ignited the cloud-piercing arrow in their hands with a fire breaker.

As the cloud-piercing arrow rose into the sky and turned into beautiful fireworks, more and more black shadows came out from under the grass and pounced on Duan Tiande and the others at the first time.

"Quick, a few of you protect Your Majesty and retreat, and the others will rush with me, and you must block the enemy."

After discovering that a large number of enemies had suddenly appeared in front of him, Duan Tiande's personal guard captain immediately led several personal guards to meet him, trying to cover Duan Tiande's retreat.

However, when Duan Tiande saw the appearance of those black shadows rushing over, he immediately despaired, because those black shadows were the werewolf guerrillas who were the best at night raids.

"Kill."

After completely losing hope of escaping, Duan Tiande simply let it go, he pulled out the sword he was carrying, and rushed forward with his guards.

Although Duan Tiande's courage is commendable, courage has nothing to do with strength, in the face of absolute strength, courage is just a pitiful fig leaf.

Under the encirclement and suppression of dozens of werewolf guerrillas, Duan Tiande and his twenty elven guards soon fell in a pool of blood.

......

So, what's going on here? Why did Ning Yuan know that Duan Tiande would pass by here?

In fact, Ning Yuan didn't know where Duan Tiande would flee to, but he always had a feeling that Duan Tiande would eventually flee back to a certain city, so he transferred a group of rat soldiers and asked them to set up ambushes on some roads leading to the enemy city.

A small group of fifty werewolf guerrillas hid in burrows dug by the rat artificials.

Although Ning Yuan wasn't sure if Duan Tiande would really pass through these places, in order to make sure that nothing went wrong, he set up a total of nearly two hundred such traps on the road leading to the four cities, just waiting for Duan Tiande to crash in by himself, but he didn't expect to really get a miracle effect.
