Chapter 769: Choice
After defeating the demon army and occupying the Guanzhong Basin, there were two choices in front of Ning Yuan.
One option is to send an army to continue the attack on Hanzhong, completely exterminate the demon clan, and not give the other party any respite.
Another option was to advance west along Weishui and attack the Gansu region east of the Yellow River.
After Ning Yuan studied with the staff officers of the think tank, everyone agreed that the Demon Clan should not be given any respite, so they should immediately send troops to attack Hanzhong.
However, considering that there are easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack passes on several passages leading to Hanzhong, the terrain there is not suitable for the deployment of large armies, so the Condor Army can adopt an offensive strategy of advancing in unison and attacking the two areas together.
Considering that there would be a large number of casualties in attacking the pass where the demon army was stationed, Ning Yuan decided to continue to let the players of the Dragon Legion take on this task, and then send other legions to attack Gansu.
Since one of the three passes in the Bao Slope Road had been breached, Ning Yuan personally led the team and placed the main attack target on the Bao Slope Road, and at the same time sent troops to station in several other passages to make a feint to attract the enemy's attention.
After assembling a few simple siege towers, Ning Yuan immediately led the players of the Dragon Legion to launch a fierce attack on the second pass.
However, no matter how hard the players of the Dragon Legion tried, they were never able to attack the city defended by the demon warriors, even if Ning Yuan personally led the team to charge a few times, they could only return in vain.
The terrain where this second pass is located is too steep, the entire city wall is only about 30 meters long, and there is a cliff next to it.
The demon defenders arranged a large number of crossbowmen on the cliffs on both sides, and used crowd tactics on the city walls, Ning Yuan had already stepped on the city with both feet on several occasions, but was soon pushed down alive by the dense demon warriors.
In this kind of terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Ning Yuan has the strength of 10,000 enemies, there is no place for him to show it.
As long as the number of defenders in the pass can withstand the attrition of the Condor Army, then it will be difficult for the pass to be broken from the front.
Facing the Xiongguan in front of him, Ning Yuan had thought of using the Seraphic Legion to go around the back of the pass to carry out a sneak attack.
But when he knew that the demon camp behind the pass had stretched for more than ten miles, he immediately dispelled this thought, he didn't want the Seraphic warriors he had accumulated with great difficulty to be lost in such a place.
Just when Ning Yuan was still hesitating whether to switch to other passages, Ma Yubiao took the initiative to find the door after the game.
......
Ma has had a rough time lately, and Daniels withdrew directly to Chengdu after the defeat, throwing the entire Hanzhong defense line directly at him.
Although the title of the Great Protector General sounds very bullish, if the demonic force of Daniels no longer exists, the title of bull will not make any sense.
After learning that Daniels was going to send his only son, his cheap nephew, to the front line to observe and study, Ma Feng was so angry that he almost didn't pick his son directly.
It's already burning eyebrows, isn't that adding to the mess?
It's just that in this demon clan, Daniels is the only one, and since Ma Fengbiao still wants to continue to follow the other party, he can't disobey the other party, so he can only choose to carry out all Daniels' orders.
In this way, while leading the army to resist the onslaught of the Condor Army, Ma Feng led a group of little demon cubs to observe and learn from behind.
Originally, Ma Feng was very confident in guarding this pass under his feet, but when he found out that Ning Yuan appeared here, he immediately felt a little weak.
So in order to be sure, he was ready to ask Daniels for another batch of soldiers and supplies.
When he sent his henchmen to Chengdu to ask Daniels for instructions, he learned that Daniels had already led a large army into the Hengduan Mountains for field training.
After learning the news, Ma Fengbiao suddenly chuckled in his heart, and had a very bad premonition.
As a player, Ma Fengbiao's biggest advantage is that he can learn about things happening in other regions through the real world.
When he learned that there was a demonic army burning and looting all the way south along the Hengduan Mountains, and finally entered the territory of Burma, he suddenly realized that Daniels was going to escape!
After learning that everyone, including himself, was ruthlessly abandoned by Daniels, Ma Fengbiao hated in his heart.
However, it is useless to say anything now, and there are only two paths in front of him.
Either replace Daniels as the new Demon Emperor, and then rely on the advantage of geography to resist to the end.
Either surrender to the Northern Expedition Alliance or Ningyuan, and while Hanzhong and Sichuan are still in their own hands, they can win enough benefits for themselves.
Although it seems more attractive to replace him and establish himself as king, considering that Daniels took the last 300,000 demon elites, there is only an empty shell left in Sichuan and Hanzhong today.
Now that he is surrounded by strong enemies, even if the Northern Expedition Alliance will not take the opportunity to fall into the ground, the Condor Army in the north will definitely not let him go easily, so I am afraid that his position as the Demon Emperor will not be able to sit for a few days.
Although the land of Sichuan and Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is based on the fact that the Demon Emperor is Daniels.
Once the remaining demon warriors knew that they had been abandoned by Daniels, it would be a devastating blow to their morale.
At that time, the morale of the demon warriors will be low, and it is unknown whether they will be able to withstand the onslaught of the Condor Army.
And choosing to surrender to the Northern Expedition Alliance or Ning Yuan, although he can't get over the addiction of becoming a demon emperor, he can win enough benefits for himself.
The land of Sichuan and Shu is the main road leading to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Yangtze River in Guanzhong, and has always been a battleground for soldiers in ancient times.
Needless to say, Ning Yuan's Condor Army, they are now storming the pass in the Bao Slope Road, and if they don't get the land of Sichuan and Shu, they will definitely not give up.
Now that they are blocked by the Northern Expedition Alliance on the north bank of the Yellow River and get the land of Sichuan and Shu, they can not only send troops from Hanzhong to the Gujingzhou region, but also attack the Hubei region from Wushan along the waterway, and also attack the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the south.
The Condor Army's Vietnamese county has always been isolated overseas, once they get the land of Sichuan and Shu, they can connect the Vietnamese county and the land of Sichuan and Shu by capturing the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which is of great strategic significance to them, so Ning Yuan will definitely be very happy to buy the land of Sichuan and Shu from him.
As for the Northern Expedition Alliance, once the Condor Army occupies the land of Sichuan and Shu, they will fall into strategic passivity on all fronts.
And if they get the land of Sichuan and Shu, with a large number of player legions, they will definitely turn the land of Sichuan and Shu into a meat grinder.
They will take advantage of the geographical advantages of Sichuan and Shu to continuously consume the vital strength of the Condor Army, so selling them to them will also sell at a good price.
However, considering that the guys in the Northern Expedition Alliance eat people and don't spit out bones, if they know that the Sichuan-Shu region is very empty now, they are likely to take advantage of the weakness directly.
So he finally decided to talk to Ning Yuan first, after all, Ning Yuan must be worrying about tackling the problem now, and in Ning Yuan, the chips in his hand will be heavier.
