Chapter 696, fighting wits and courage, calculating each other

When Ning Yuan learned the news that the 50,000 Sun-Seeking Legion had almost been wiped out by 3,000 demon warriors, he suddenly realized that the places that he couldn't figure out before began to become clear at this moment.

While thinking about it, Ning Yuan also had to admire the courage of the Northern Expedition Alliance.

In order to let the demon clan meet them, they actually gave up a large area of territory directly, and this courage is not something that everyone has.

It seems that they are sure that they will fight the demon clan to the end.

Ning Yuan didn't know who came up with this strategy, but now he just wanted to say to that person that you really saw it.

The enemy had eaten through the mortal enemy relationship between him and the Demon Clan, and knew that he could collude with any force, but the Demon Clan was an exception.

And the fact is just as the enemy expected, Ning Yuan regards the Demon Clan as the number one enemy and vows to completely exterminate the Demon Clan.

The same is true for the Demon Clan, so there is no way for this kind of thing to happen between them, because there can never be a common interest between them.

After learning that the demon clan army appeared west of the Yellow River, Ning Yuan immediately sent all the Seraphs around him out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

When he learned that the Demon Clan had unified the Sichuan Basin, the Hanzhong Basin, and the Chang'an region, he had to change his previous strategic plan.

Previously, Ning Yuan planned to deploy troops north of the Yellow River to put pressure on the Northern Expeditionary Coalition Army, so that they had to deploy their troops along the Yellow River.

But after bordering the Demon Clan, this plan doesn't work.

Now for Ning Yuan, the Demon Clan is the number one enemy, and he must concentrate all his efforts to eliminate all the Demon Clan forces entrenched in Huaxia.

Although he already knew that this was the Northern Expedition Alliance's plan to drive away the wolf, he had to follow the route designed by the other party, because the war potential of the demon race was too terrifying.

If the demon clan is given too much time to recuperate, they will be able to create more demon warriors with their super bloodline talent.

Although Ning Yuan successfully defeated the demon army on the Lost Continent, it was mainly based on the two geographical advantages of Cloud City and the Dwarven Lonely Mountain Castle.

If it weren't for those two geographical advantages, if it weren't for the fact that he successfully deceived the demon army into Cloud City, and if it weren't for the overwhelming support of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, he would not have been able to defeat the demon army head-on at that time.

For the positive ability of the demon army, Ning Yuan has always given the greatest affirmation.

And after coming to the land of Huaxia, the current demon army is no longer what it used to be.

When the Lost Continent was lost, the demon army relied more on the innate scale armor to bully other forces, and their weapons and equipment were not advanced, especially in the siege equipment, which was simply primitive to the extreme.

However, after coming to the land of China, they took over the territory and assets of the player's forces, and possessed a large number of advanced weapons and siege equipment, and their strength became even more terrifying.

Therefore, even if Ning Yuan knew that this was a trick by the enemy, he had to get into it head-on, because he didn't dare to let the demon clan develop freely next to the Condor Empire.

Without the geographical advantages of Cloud Castle and Lonely Mountain Castle, if you want to confront the demon army head-on, you must come up with the secret weapon of the Condor Empire at the bottom of the box.

As the name suggests, the secret weapon is meant to be the final word at a critical moment, and no one else can know about it until then.

However, in order to fight against the demon army, Ning Yuan could only let them appear in advance, because he had to defeat the demon army in one go, and then completely uproot it.

In order to concentrate all his efforts on dealing with the demon army, Ning Yuan gave up the occupation of the Henan region north of the Yellow River, and reduced the army to the line of Anyang, Tangyin, and Puyang, and then transferred the other legions to the outer side of the Yellow River in Shaanxi and Ningxia.

He planned to capture Shaanxi, Ningxia and other places before the demon army captured those places, and then besieged the central plain from north to south.

Now on the west bank of the Yellow River in the west of the Yuncheng Basin, the army of the Demon Clan is also gathering there.

With the demon army prepared, it would be difficult for the Condor Army to forcibly cross the river from there, so Ning Yuan could only choose the multi-point flowering tactic to cross the Yellow River.

However, just when Ning Yuan was dispatching troops, a bad news suddenly came, and Ning Yuan hated Ning Yuan is teeth.

In order to deal with Ning Yuan, under the maneuver of the Northern Expedition Alliance, those player forces on the Loess Plateau north of the Guanzhong Plain all chose to take refuge in the Demon Clan.

In other words, the Demon Clan did not spend a single soldier, and obtained the area east of the Yellow River that the tigers had not been able to capture for several years.

At the behest of the Northern Expedition Alliance, those player forces not only deployed heavy troops along the Yellow River to defend the Condor Army, but also opened their arms to the Demon Clan, allowing the Demon Clan's army to spread everywhere along the Yellow River.

Each player army has one or several teams of demon warriors, and together they guard the ferries along the Yellow River, so that the Condor Air Force Legion does not dare to attack rashly.

This move of the Northern Expedition Alliance directly extinguished the idea of the Condor Army wanting to cross the river, so that the Condor Army assembled along the Yellow River could only look at the river and sigh.

In the face of the enemy's strict defense, Ning Yuan could only choose to stand still for the time being, and then quietly waited for the arrival of winter, and hoped that the Yellow River could freeze in winter, otherwise he could only attack Henan first, and then enter the Guanzhong Plain through Tongguan.

As the saying goes, after being yin by the Northern Expedition Alliance, Ning Yuan quickly thought of a plan to retaliate against the other party.

After communicating with Xiong Dashi, Ning Yuan transported 200,000 elven archers and 200,000 wolf cavalry to the Shandong region.

These 400,000 cavalry did not go to help the Dashi Kingdom fight, but went to the North China Plain to threw grass.

Threshing grass is a military operation with the main purpose of plundering and destruction, targeting the enemy's population, livestock, and wealth.

Threshing grass pursues the tactical principle of taking away everything that can be taken away, and burning all that cannot be taken away.

Such military operations are not aimed at fighting, but at looting and destruction.

In Chinese history, the nomads who were entrenched in the north were the best at threshing grass, and they often used this method to weaken the power of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Later, the Central Plains Dynasty also followed suit, and they would also use the tactics of threshing grass against those enemies who could not be attacked.

The most outstanding forces in Chinese history were the Xiongnu, the Northern Song Dynasty (Great Song Dynasty Demolition and Relocation Office) and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and their threshing actions made their opponents worse than dead.

Ning Yuan had used the tactics of threshing grass when dealing with the Eaglehoof Empire before, and the strength of the Eaglehoof Empire was greatly reduced and miserable, and finally it went directly to extinction.

And this time Ning Yuan is not just repeating his old tricks, he will attack this time even darker than when he dealt with the Eaglehoof Empire.

Under his orders, the 400,000 cavalry will destroy everything they see, leaving nothing for the enemy, such as population, resources, crops, etc.

He wants to show the enemy what real pain is, to make them breathe for decades, and to completely destroy their foundations.
