Chapter 939: The Battle of Yungui (11)
"By the way, I heard that you burned down all the granaries in Zunyi City during your retreat, is this true?"
As he spoke, Ye Ziqing suddenly remembered something, and then suddenly asked.
"That's right, all the food we stored in Zunyi City has been burned, and there is not a single grain left for the Condor Army." Zhu Qi nodded in confirmation.
After receiving an affirmative reply, Ye Ziqing exclaimed loudly: "Good job, well done."
Brother Zhu, after we finish discussing here, you immediately go and inform the players of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance in Lijiang, and ask them to burn all the grain and grass in the Lijiang area.
There was a long way to go from Lijiang to Dali, and if the Condor Army could not get enough food from the Lijiang area, then they would not be able to immediately move south.
In this way, you will have plenty of time to deploy in the Dali area. ”
I think that their big guilds in the Huaxia Region didn't have the idea of fighting the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, but unfortunately they were all defeated by the complex terrain on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
It was already very difficult for the army to attack the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and it was even more difficult to transport logistics materials.
Thinking that the two Central Plains dynasties of the Ming and Qing dynasties used troops against Burma, the total number of troops they sent was only 100,000, and the soldiers who actually arrived in the frontline area were only tens of thousands.
The two Central Plains dynasties were able to dispatch millions of troops in the Central Plains at every turn, but they only had a pitiful tens of thousands of troops when they used troops against Burma, and the main reason was that there was a natural barrier on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and they were unable to guarantee the logistical supply of millions of troops.
Even what the two Central Plains dynasties of the Ming and Qing dynasties could not do, how could the Condor Empire, which had not yet unified the Central Plains, do it?
This time, the Condor Empire attacked on two fronts, and the total strength had already exceeded 1.5 million, if it dragged on, this 1.5 million army would be able to drag the Condor Empire down alive.
Ye Ziqing's words did not succeed in appeasing Zhu Qi, and after sighing lightly, Zhu Qi said with a worried face: "In theory, President Ye, you are very reasonable, but have you considered the mobility of the flying legion of the Condor Empire?"
Although the terrain of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was complicated, it could not affect the flying legion of the Condor Empire.
If they send a flying legion to raid our rear and disrupt our logistics, what are we going to do?
Although our army of owls has an absolute advantage in numbers, the Silver Pegasus Knight and the Dragon Eagle Knight are their natural nemesis.
If it can't form an absolute suppression in terms of numbers, then the Owl Legion is not the opponent of the two flying knights of the other side at all.
Therefore, if we want to fight a protracted battle with the Condor Army, we must make their flying legion dare not move easily, otherwise we will be led by the Condor Army. ”
Ye Ziqing asked, "Then Brother Zhu, what do you mean?" ”
Zhu Qi said: "I hope that the Northern Expedition Alliance can organize a flying corps to support us on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau."
As long as our flying corps is absolutely suppressed by the Condor Air Force in terms of numbers, then the other party will not dare to easily break away from their ground corps.
Because once their flying legions are separated from the ground legions, they are at risk of being defeated by each of us.
Therefore, in order to avoid being defeated by each other, their flying legion will definitely follow the ground legion at all times. ”
"Then how many flying troops does Brother Zhu want us to support you?" Ye Ziqing squinted his eyes and continued to ask.
Seeing the smile on Ye Ziqing's face, Zhu Qi immediately knew that the meat drama was coming, and the other party was waiting for him to take the initiative to open conditions.
After taking a deep breath, Zhu Qi said solemnly: "Your alliance is willing to help us regardless of our previous suspicions, we are already very satisfied, how can we dare to ask for a specific amount of support?"
We will sincerely express our gratitude for how many flying troops your alliance is willing to send to support us.
All I can guarantee is that no matter how many flying troops your alliance sends to support us, all the expenses will be borne by my Ten Thousand Beast Alliance.
For your alliance's support this time, my Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance will always keep it in mind, and in the future, if your alliance needs us, even if it is up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, we will not frown.
Our Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is full of mountains and hills, and there are no special products, so we really can't come up with any good things to thank Guimeng.
If we are fortunate enough to be able to defeat the Condor Empire this time and keep the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, then my Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance is willing to give half of the Jungle Elephant Demon Beast Eggs every year to your League for free for a period of ten years. ”
Not wanting to bargain with Ye Ziqing and the others like a trader, Zhu Qi directly gave the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance the reward that the Northern Expedition Alliance could provide.
Hearing the jungle elephant pet egg, the eyes of Ye Ziqing, Dongfang Ming and others suddenly lit up.
Jungle elephants are a specialty of Southeast Asia, and only a small number of them are distributed in Yunnan in China.
If their Northern Expedition Alliance could have a war elephant legion, then they would no longer have to be so afraid of the Condor Empire's ground legions.
It's just a pity that the jungle elephants in the Yunnan region have always been firmly controlled by the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, and other forces can't get their hands on it at all.
What is even more unfortunate is that jungle elephants, like humans, do not reach adulthood until they are at least fifteen or sixteen years old.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance now provided them with the Jungle Elephant's Monster Eggs would not solve their urgent needs at all.
It will take at least twenty or thirty years for them to raise a large-scale army of war elephants.
After glancing at Dongfang Ming and the others, Ye Ziqing said: "Brother Zhu, this gift of yours is very sincere, but you also know that it takes at least fifteen or six years for the jungle elephant to grow into adulthood, and this process is too long.
If the Condor Empire fails to capture the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, then they will definitely launch an attack on the North China Plain region next, so we may not be able to wait for the jungle elephants to grow.
I heard that Brother Zhu's Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance has cultivated a war elephant army, which must have been completely formed by now!
If we can help Brother Zhu keep the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, I hope that Brother Zhu can transfer your War Elephant Legion to the North China Plain for a few years to help us resist the attack of the Condor Empire.
Brother Zhu, don't worry, we won't let your alliance's war elephant legion be stationed in the North China Plain for a long time, as long as we can recover some vitality, you can transfer them back at any time. ”
Hearing Ye Ziqing's conditions, Zhu Qi hesitated for a moment, and soon nodded in agreement:
"Yes, President Ye, as long as you can help us defend the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, then on the basis of giving you the Jungle Elephant Demon Beast Eggs, we will also transfer the War Elephant Legion to the North China Plain to help your alliance resist the attack of the Condor Empire.
However, jungle elephants belong to the tropical region, they can only go to the North China Plain to fight in the summer, when the weather becomes cold, they must return to Yunnan for the winter, I hope your alliance can understand. ”
Although Zhu Qi was unwilling to bargain, as the leader of the Huaxia Branch of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, he was not a simple-minded guy.
When Ye Ziqing proposed to let the War Elephant Legion of the Ten Thousand Beast Alliance go to the North China Plain to participate in the war, he knew that the other party had the idea of taking the War Elephant Legion for himself, so he immediately crushed the greed of Ye Ziqing and the others in advance.
