Chapter 682, Surprise Attack on Shanxi
When a large number of players on both sides were dragged to the Hebei battlefield for a meat grind battle, several Condor armies marched towards the same destination from different locations.
Tang Yu led the 100,000 Silver Pegasus Legion, set off from Silver Star City, crossed the Taihang Mountains, and went straight to Datong City.
Each Silver Pegasus Knight carried a large marching bag on his back, filled with dry rations and other supplies.
Shen Wanli led 200,000 dragoons from Juyong Pass to raid the lower garden, and with the help of the Seraphic Legion, Shen Wanli captured the lower garden in less than half a day.
After capturing Xiahuayuan, Shen Wanli led 200,000 dragoons directly to Zhangjiakou.
Xue Sihai led 200,000 dragoons from Juyong Pass, and when Shen Wanli attacked the garden, Xue Sihai's army came to the outside of Zhulu City.
With the help of the Seraphic Legion, Xue Sihai successively broke through Zhulu City and Yangyuan City, and then blocked the passage between Datong and Yanggao.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yuntian led the follow-up army of millions to follow the passage captured by the vanguard army and headed towards the Datong area.
......
The northern half of Shanxi, from Shuozhou to Tianzhen, to the Zhangjiakou area of Hebei, is the territory of Yanyulou, one of the ten guilds in Huaxia District.
In order to resist the invasion of the Silver Star Empire, Yanyulou spent a lot of money to buy a few forbidden sky stones, and then turned the four border cities of Shuozhou, Datong, Zhulu, and Xiahuayuan into forbidden sky cities.
After the full-scale war between the Condor Empire and the Silver Star Alliance, Yanyulou strengthened the defense of the two cities of Zhulu and Xiayuan, and at the same time sent a large number of player legions to the Shijiazhuang area.
They wanted to turn it into a meat grinding battlefield and use the Silver Star Alliance to drag the Condor there, so as to avoid the invasion of their homeland.
Ning Yuan wanted to consume their vitality there, and they also wanted to drag Ning Yuan there, so it can be said that everyone thought of going together.
And the result was to meet the demands of both the enemy and the enemy, and the main force of the Condor was dragged there, and their legions of players were also trapped there.
This seems to be a happy ending, but they ignore one important thing, and that is how many troops the Condor Empire has.
When everyone thought that the Condor Empire would be overstretched in a three-line battle, Ning Yuan gave them a resounding slap in the face with practical actions.
Different from the sustainable development of other forces, the Condor Empire started as a small tribe at the beginning, and followed the route of reckless military force.
Through continuous foreign invasions, Ning Yuan not only plundered a large number of people and resources, but also plundered a huge amount of wealth.
Although the commerce of the Condor Empire is not very developed, they are not poor at all, because everything in the empire is Ningyuan, and he can use the principle of relatively fair distribution to make the interests of all the people in the empire equal.
Unlike other countries, where there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, there are no rich people in the Condor Empire, and there are no poor people at the same time.
Originally, this system of the Condor Empire was very vulnerable to external shocks, but because Ning Yuan had been expanding outward, all the forces adjacent to the Condor Empire were his enemies, so the Condor Empire had always been a planned economy, and there was no foreign trade at all.
The greatest advantage of a planned economy is that it can concentrate all resources in the hands of the rulers and then concentrate on the development of a certain area.
And Ning Yuan has always been known for loving soldiers like sons.
The soldiers of the Condor Empire are treated the best in the country, and all the men in the country are proud to join the army, plus many races are fighting races, so the Condor Empire has always maintained a large number of troops.
Although after entering private ownership, Ning Yuan had to pay the soldiers a monthly salary, and it would take a huge amount of expenses to maintain a large army, but the Condor Empire was not short of money at all.
Ning Yuan has robbed the outside world for so many years, slaughtering a lot of royal families, and the wealth that others have accumulated with great difficulty has entered his pocket.
He has no shortage of money to spend in real life, and he doesn't have a miser hobby in the game, so what's the use of asking for so much money?
So he used the wealth accumulated by the Condor Empire for so many years to build the army, even if he didn't fight, he refused to disarm.
In fact, as long as Ning Yuan is willing, the Condor Empire can still send more troops, but if it really does that, the logistical pressure is too great, so Ning Yuan will deliberately control the scale of the war.
At first, Ning Yuan only planned to capture the Hebei Plain, then invade Henan, and finally march along the Yellow River from south to north to Shanxi.
With the Silver Star Alliance uniting the player forces of Shanxi and Shaanxi to deploy heavy troops in the Shijiazhuang area to defend to the death, Ning Yuan suddenly saw an opportunity to attack Shanxi.
So he moved the Dragon Legion to the battlefield, and let them fight non-stop, forcing the enemy to bring in more player legions.
While fighting a war of attrition with the enemy, the Condor Army in his hometown is also constantly gathering in the Yanjing area.
After the army was assembled, Ning Yuan sent the Seraphic Legion to help Shen Wanli and them to capture the enemy's two forbidden cities located on the border routes.
At the same time, let Tang Yu lead the Silver Pegasus Legion to fly over the Taihang Mountain Range, blocking the connection between Datong and other places, so that the enemy could not reinforce Datong City in time.
Ning Yuan had a very big appetite, and this surprise attack plan he formulated included half of the territory of Yanyu Building into the scope of the attack.
At the same time, he was also very bold, and before he could break through the two forbidden cities on the border, he sent the Silver Pegasus Legion deep into the enemy's hinterland.
Yanyulou didn't expect that the Condor Empire still had the strength to open up a second battlefield, and the scale was not smaller than that of the Silver Star Empire, so he was suddenly caught off guard.
By the time they got the news of the invasion of the northern border, the two forbidden cities had been lost one after another.
After learning the news of the invasion of the Condor Army, they immediately gathered two armies to support Yanggao City and Yangyuan City respectively, and they were ready to defend the two valley roads to keep the invading Condor Army out.
Just as the two support armies were racing against time to reach their destination, Tang Yu led the Silver Pegasus Legion to appear and launched a surprise attack from behind them.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the enemy behind them, the two unprepared armies were crushed by the Silver Pegasus Legion before they could even build a defensive line.
Tang Yu led the Silver Pegasus Legion along the Sanggan River to launch a fierce pursuit of the routed army, leaving countless corpses along the way, until the two legions were completely killed and Tang Yu chose to stop.
The appearance of the Silver Pegasus Legion successfully sabotaged the enemy's plan to rush to the aid of the two valleys, and bought precious time for the Condor Army to capture Yangyuan City.
When Xue Sihai led the dragoons to appear in Datong to join Tang Yu, Ning Yuan's surprise attack plan was a perfect success.
The Smoke and Rain Tower, which was broken into the hinterland by the Condor Army, fell into a huge crisis, and if they were not careful, they might perish before the Silver Star Alliance.
