Chapter 921: The Capture of the Siliguri Corridor (Gal. 12)
As Samir opted for a strategic retreat, the Indian coalition forces concentrated in the Siliguri region immediately became much thinner.
When Ning Yuan learned from the Seraphic Scouts that a large number of enemies were withdrawing from the Siliguri Corridor, he thought for a long time, and finally gave up on sending the Flying Legion to pursue the enemy.
The reason why Ning Yuan made such a choice was mainly due to the following considerations.
First, Ning Yuan didn't want his Flying Knights to take risks.
Although the main force of the enemy's flying legion had been wiped out in the Darjeeling area, hundreds of thousands of owl troops managed to escape.
The hundreds of thousands of owl troops have now lost their tracks, and are said to have flown away in a southwesterly direction.
The closer you get to the Ganges Valley, the more dense primeval forests there are, and hundreds of thousands of troops seem to be a lot, but if you hide in the primeval forests, they will immediately disappear without a trace.
Once the enemy lays a trap in the southwest, his flying knights are likely to fall into an ambush if they rush to chase them.
And the further south he goes, the closer he gets to the actual control area of the Peacock Kingdom, if the Indian player can get reinforcements from the Peacock Kingdom, his Flying Knights are likely to encounter a major crisis.
Second, although Ning Yuan hated these two great guilds in India, it was not in the interests of the Condor Empire that the two of them returned to the pre-liberation grand guilds overnight.
What Ning Yuan needs is an Indian coalition that can fight back and forth with the Huaxia player alliance, not an Indian alliance that will be pressed and beaten by the Huaxia player alliance.
The strength of the Indian coalition cannot be too strong, but it cannot be too weak either.
It is too powerful, and the Huaxia player alliance may not be their opponent, and they will soon be driven out of India by them, which will affect Ning Yuan's next layout.
It's too weak, under the morale of the Huaxia player coalition, I'm afraid it will really open up territory in India, after all, the most important thing in Huaxia is players who like to fight, once they see the opportunity, how much energy they can burst out, Ning Yuan doesn't dare to imagine.
Ning Yuan had promised not to make a move against the Huaxia player coalition led by Ouyang Fenqiang, if Ouyang Fenqiang and the others were really allowed to become bigger in India, Ning Yuan would be shooting himself in the foot, because he was also bound to India, a country rich in natural resources.
Therefore, he must try to maintain the balance between the two player forces, so that they can stalemate with each other for a while longer, and also give himself more time to prepare.
Third, the intention of harming others can be there, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
For Ouyang Fenqiang and the others, Ning Yuan still couldn't achieve absolute trust, no matter how good their reputation was, Ning Yuan didn't dare to completely trust them.
People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and wealth is moving, Li Qi can play tricks with him for so many materials, in the face of such a huge amount of materials, will Ouyang Fenqiang and others willingly hand them over to themselves?
You must know that he had just used the Huaxia Player Alliance before, causing them heavy losses.
This can be seen from the attitude of Zhao Youcai and others towards him, although those people have not yet turned their faces against him, they do not hide the hatred in their eyes.
The agreement between Ning Yuan and Ouyang Fenqiang was only verbal, and it did not fall on paper, if Ouyang Fenqiang and the others suddenly repented when the overall situation was timed, he would be equivalent to working for others for nothing.
After experiencing the large-scale civil strife outside Sun Moon City, he no longer dared to have any conflicts with the Huaxia Player Alliance.
Therefore, he must leave a way back for himself, so that the Huaxia player coalition army will always maintain pressure, and dare not easily break the contract and turn his face, and the pressure will naturally come from the Indian coalition army.
Finally, Ning Yuan has already formulated the next series of strategic deployments with Bai Ze and others, and the grain and grass materials in the Siliguri area are a very important part of it.
Ning Yuan now just wanted to get what he deserved as soon as possible, and then get out of this chaotic area as soon as possible.
The more his Condor Army stays here, the more tense the surrounding countries will be.
With the Condor Army here, several surrounding countries will always maintain a high degree of vigilance.
If the Condor Army behaves too strongly, it is easy for the other party to misunderstand.
If they are to be misled into believing that the Condor Empire wants to annex India now, it is likely that the several countries that had previously remained neutral will reunite with the Indian player to fight against the Condor Empire.
Because the Condor Empire wants to annex India, the few countries that are caught in the middle will definitely not be spared.
Therefore, when Ning Yuan occupies the advantage, he must take into account the feelings of several surrounding countries, and must not let them have the misunderstanding that the Condor Empire is going to attack India on a large scale.
It was precisely because of these considerations that Ning Yuan would choose to let go of the retreating troops of the Indian coalition army to the southwest.
At this moment, the Indian coalition forces that remained in the Siliguri area suddenly seemed to have changed into an army, and they began to fight to the death without retreating, which brought a lot of trouble to the Condor Air Force and the Chinese player coalition forces that followed behind.
In the face of those defenders who fought to the death, the follow-up Huaxia player alliance began to gradually become a little overwhelmed, so Ning Yuan had to let the two flying knights assist the players of the Huaxia alliance to clear out those enemies who resisted to the end, which just gave Ning Yuan an excuse not to pursue.
The Flying Knights of the Condor Empire did not pursue the retreating Indian coalition forces, and the remaining Indian coalition troops did not burn the materials stored in various places, and the two forces always maintained this tacit understanding as if they had agreed with each other.
As the follow-up armies of the Huaxia Players Alliance marched into the Siliguri region one after another, two armies from the Huaxia region finally came to the city of Siliguri.
Although Samir has chosen to retreat strategically, in order to give an explanation to players in India, he does not easily give up the city of Siliguri.
In Siliguri City, Samir gathered 200,000 orc legions that were best at hand-to-hand combat in narrow spaces, and were ready to give some blood to the Chinese player alliance here.
Facing the Indian coalition forces that directly retreated to the buildings in the city, the two flying knights under Ning Yuan said that they could not help.
After assisting the Huaxia Players Alliance to occupy the city wall, Ning Yuan directly sent the two Flying Knights to the East Indies to carry out other tasks, and handed over Siliguri City to the Huaxia Players Alliance to solve.
Facing the Indian coalition forces in the city who believed in death, it took three full days for the Chinese player coalition to completely capture the city after paying a huge price.
At this point, the Siliguri Corridor and the area east of it have no relationship with India at all.
