Chapter 356: Wolves are raging
After a short period of repair, the Condor Army, which resisted the enemy's invasion on three fronts, followed the enemy's route and counterattacked directly.
The First Condor Army is a mixed army of 50,000 barbarians and 50,000 elven rangers.
As soon as they entered enemy territory, they set up camp and then adopted the strategy of defending in place.
With the continuous delivery of various material resources by the Transport Corps, this large camp has become an important supply base.
Just when the players of the Ice City Alliance were confused and couldn't understand what the Condor Army wanted to do, a grassland cavalry regiment of more than 500,000 people entered Heilongjiang from Ulanhot.
It turned out that the real main force of the First Route Army was this steppe cavalry, and the mixed army was only to provide them with logistical support.
In order to resist the invasion of the Ice City Alliance, Ning Yuan had previously issued a khan summoning order.
Although the grassland herdsmen actively responded to Ning Yuan's call, it took them a lot of time to prepare, assemble, and hurry, and the war was progressing too fast, so this grassland cavalry regiment could not catch up with the battle in the territory of the Condor Empire.
However, since every time a Khan summoning order was issued, the Condor Empire would pay a lot of price, so Ning Yuan let this steppe cavalry directly enter the territory of the Ice City Alliance, and he planned to use their destructiveness to play the plundering and sabotage tactics that he had used against the Eaglehoof Empire before.
Because he was worried that these steppe cavalry would be disobedient, Ning Yuan sent a cavalry regiment to lead them.
The task of the steppe cavalry this time was to burn and loot the entire Great Plains, and they could dispose of the rest at will, except for the half that was handed over to the Condor Khan.
Originally, Ning Yuan didn't intend to take advantage of the grassland cavalry, but the Ice City Alliance was too rich, and they had developed for so many years and accumulated countless amounts of food and money.
It was impossible for Ning Yuan to watch such a large amount of wealth flow out, so he started the idea of the grassland cavalry.
The steppe cavalry did not have any dissatisfaction with Ning Yuan's request from the Condor Khan, because Ning Yuan had never let them suffer, so they instinctively chose to believe in Ning Yuan.
As a result, under the ravages of the steppe cavalry, the Ice City Alliance ushered in the darkest period.
The whole plain was full of steppe cavalry, and except for a few fortified cities, no village or town could resist their troops.
In the face of these bandits who came and went like the wind, the army of the Ice City Alliance suffered a lot.
After the only cavalry regiment was completely annihilated, they had no strength to resist the steppe cavalry at all, and could only be forced to adopt some defensive counterattack strategies.
Originally, they wanted to lay traps in some towns and lure the steppe cavalry to come and ambush them.
But the sky was full of damned swan scouts, and their every move couldn't escape the eyes of the swan scouts, so the ambush plan was directly stillborn.
As the steppe cavalry continued to rage, countless refugees suddenly appeared in the territory of the Ice City Alliance.
Fleeing the fighting, these refugees fled in droves to nearby cities.
In the face of these homeless refugees, even if the players of the Ice City Alliance knew that it was a conspiracy of the Condor Army, they still could not keep the refugees out of the city.
After hosting a large number of refugees, every city in the Ice City Alliance began to become very bloated.
Although after so many years of accumulation, they are not short of food at all, but even if there is more surplus food at home, they can't withstand such a consumption that can't only go in and out.
Looking at the weedy fields outside the city, everyone's faces were filled with sorrow.
The strategy being implemented by the Condor Army is not very clever, but after losing more than two million elite troops, the Ice City Alliance is no longer able to crack it.
They could only watch the steppe cavalry gallop outside the city, but they were unwilling to go out of the city to meet the enemy.
It's not that they have lost the courage to face the enemy, it's that they don't want to do some useless work.
Under the leadership of the soldiers of the cavalry regiment sent by Ning Yuan, these steppe cavalry became extremely cunning. They never fought against the Ice City Alliance that had already been lined up, and every time they encountered a formed Ice City Alliance army, they would avoid it from a distance.
On the open plains, if the cavalry is unwilling to stay, then the infantry has no power to stop the cavalry from leaving, and they can only watch the other side drift away.
The players of the Ice City Alliance racked their brains and came up with all kinds of methods, but in the face of the cunning steppe cavalry, the little gains they made were simply not worth mentioning.
There are more than 500,000 steppe cavalry, even if they successfully ambush and kill a few thousand?
This will not affect the overall situation at all, and it will not solve this cavalry trouble.
While it was a relief to have managed to kill some of the steppe cavalry, they also made the steppe cavalry more cautious.
After that, the players of the Ice City Alliance wanted to take advantage of the player's infinite resurrection, and they couldn't go to the steppe cavalry to exchange their lives.
The steppe cavalry seemed to have suddenly opened their minds, and they did not take advantage of the horse charge to engage in melee combat with the players.
They are like real wolves, constantly kiting the players with bows and arrows on the periphery, eating away at the players' armies little by little.
They began to become more patient, and as long as the enemy did not show fatal flaws, they would not rush into a general attack.
They follow their prey unhurriedly like wolves, and only when the prey is exhausted will they rush to make up for the final blow.
This tactic seems that the players should be the one who takes advantage, after all, they can resurrect indefinitely, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was the Ice City Alliance that couldn't bear it first, and they took the initiative to terminate this life-for-life tactic.
Although the lives of adventurer players are not valuable, and they don't want to come back alive after they go out, so they don't need any good equipment, but they can do without armor and weapons.
Because there are no weapons, then they are simply sent to death, and it is difficult to inflict any casualties on the enemy.
Although many adventurer players buy their first weapon by themselves, this kind of action of sending them to death can no longer let them solve the problem of weapons by themselves, and the Ice City Alliance must take the initiative to issue various weapons to players if they want to make players work hard.
Although the players achieved some success in the beginning, as the steppe cavalry became more cunning, their behavior became a pure warmth operation, and they contributed a large number of weapons to the steppe cavalry each time.
It's okay once or twice, but in the long run, no matter how rich the Ice City Alliance is, they can't help such a lavish waste, so after seeing that the pay is not proportional to the gain, they are forced to stop this action.
