There is a cloud in the art of war: the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

When an army is out on the battlefield, many unfavorable factors can be slowly overcome, but there is only one thing that will not work, and that is grain and grass.

From ancient times to the present, there have been many battles that have not yet been decided, but because of the problem of food and grass, the enemy and us finally had to choose to temporarily stop.

At the same time, there are also many battles where the direction of the entire battle is determined by grain and grass.

In the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, the Qin army won a great victory by luring the enemy into the depths, then cutting off the grain route of the Zhao army, and finally killing 450,000 Zhao troops.

In this battle, if the grain route of the Zhao army was not cut off by the Qin army, then if you want to defeat the 400,000 army led by Zhao Kuo, it will not be so easy to give the Qin army two white rises.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan several times, but in the end he returned in vain. In addition to the defensive strategy adopted by Wei at that time, the biggest reason was that the subsequent supply of grain and grass was not available.

Although Shu is rich, it is the country of abundance, and there is a natural barrier of Shu Dao, but Shu Dao not only protects Shu Di, but also restricts the outward expansion of Shu forces.

There is no other reason but grain and grass.

Although Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox and flowing horse, he has carried as much grain and grass as possible, but it is still not enough for the army to consume for a long time.

Therefore, every time Zhuge Liang's troops go out of Qishan to fight a surprise battle, if the desired strategic results cannot be achieved within the given time, then they can only helplessly withdraw to Shu.

Cao Wei saw through this, so they directly adopted a defensive strategy, stubbornly defending some strategic points, and then recuperating while consuming the enemy's comprehensive national strength, which was not rich.

If Zhuge Liang had sufficient logistical support, then he could have fought a protracted battle with the Wei army, and with the strength of Shu at that time, they might not have no chance to sweep the Central Plains.

But it's a pity that a grain of rice is difficult to defeat a hero, Zhuge Liang has a full revenge, but because of mundane things like rice and grain, he returns again and again in vain.

The cold weapon wars in history are not so much a war between people as a war between people and food.

If there is enough food and grass, then this battle can be fought as much as you want, and if not, then you will fall into a complete passivity.

The Demon Coalition is now in this predicament.

Now they have countless armies, but they can't send them to the battlefield.

Originally, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Daniels's place consumed a lot of grain and grass every day.

Now that the only food route has been cut off, the Demon Alliance continues to increase troops to the front line, and even ensuring the daily supply of Daniels' troops has become a big problem.

Richie's blow can be described as fast, ruthless, and accurate, and the blow is fatal, directly penetrating the weakness of the demon alliance.

Now that the army of more than a million has been assembled in the rear, it is waiting for the grain and grass to be transported and set off at any time.

Fortunately, the dwarves stopped the million-strong army with a single fire, and these troops could only continue to wait in the rear until a new grain route was opened.

In the face of this unfavorable situation, the high-level leaders of the Demon Coalition are all at a loss.

Now there are two voices within the Demon Alliance.

One is to open the Lonely Mountain Grain Road destroyed by the dwarves as soon as possible, and then continue to deliver supplies to the front line from there.

One is to directly divert to Cloudsdale and transport supplies to the front line from under the noses of the Angel Clan.

There are two ways, two food routes, and one must be chosen, because if you want to get from the demon realm to the griffin realm, there are only these two paths to take.

Although he had already suffered a big loss from the Lone Mountain Dwarves, Cook had removed the boulders blocking the road and blocked the dwarves' secret passages, so many people preferred to continue using the Lone Mountain Pass.

However, Green and Cook believe that the hidden danger of the lonely mountain passage has not been completely resolved, because no one knows if the dwarves have any new secret passages.

So they didn't dare to gamble, and they couldn't afford to gamble, after all, if they experienced another large-scale attack, they wouldn't have to continue the battle.

Although the large pangolin domesticated by the Succubus Clan is also a master of burrowing, the Demon Clan can no longer trust those beasts, and they only believe in themselves now.

So under the arguments of Green and Cook, the Demon Emperor Herrera finally chose to deliver supplies from under Cloudsdale to the front line.

Choosing the Grain Road in Cloudsdale seemed to be giving the Angels an opportunity to attack the Grain Road, as they only needed to launch rockets from the sky at the convoy below.

But in reality, it was not that simple, because the army of 500,000 vampires of Bloodless had already arrived around Cloudsdale.

The demon army led by Green suffered from the lack of an air force a while ago, and they were humiliated by those angelic warriors who had learned badly.

The arrival of the Vampire Legion provides them with a chance to take revenge, so Cloudsdale will become a battlefield for both friends and foes in the future.

Not only did Green have to transport the grain and grass safely, but he also had to teach the angels a lesson.

Since vampires could not move during the day, Green chose to carry food at night.

Every night, a large number of convoys pass under Cloudsdale, and each supply cart is closely guarded by a small team of demon warriors.

They each have a fireproof cloth in their hands, and their mission is to prevent the angelic warriors from rushing down to wreak havoc, and at the same time extinguish the enemy's rockets in time.

The angels of Cloudsdale were all furious about the Demon Alliance's brazen delivery of supplies from below them to the front line.

They already knew about the fire that had taken place in Gushan, and they knew that the enemy's food route had been cut off, and the situation was very good for them.

But now, the enemy has avoided the lonely mountain and passed directly under the cloud city, which is clearly despising them and thinking that they are easy to bully.

Before, they had already been blamed by Ning Yuan for their inaction, and now if the enemy was allowed to transport the supplies from under the Cloud City, what would Ning Yuan think of them?

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Cliff immediately ordered that no matter what the cost was, the grain route under Cloud City must be cut off, although Cloud City could not help Ning Yuan much, but it could not be a drag on Ning Yuan.

After receiving Cliff's authorization, Li Jun immediately went into action.

He led the angelic warriors to raid the convoys passing below from time to time, and then set the supply carts on fire.

Although the demon coalition sent some vampires to take the initiative to fight, because the number of vampires was not dominant, they would let the angel raid team succeed every time.

The vampires couldn't stop the angelic warriors' surprise attack, but the demon warriors below were prepared.

Whenever the transporter was set on fire, they immediately pounced on it and extinguished the flames with a special fireproof cloth.

As long as the angels do not use flammable materials such as fire oil, then this fire cannot be burned.

Although the firefighting methods used by the demon clan are cumbersome and very passive, they are very effective.

The angel warriors managed to break through the vampire's blockade and set the supply cart on fire, but as soon as they turned around, they were extinguished by the nearby demon warriors, which made many angel warriors have a deep sense of frustration.

Faced with this situation, the angel clan was unwilling, and Li Jun was also unwilling, so after discussing with Cliff, they decided to play a big game with the enemy.

......

On this day, the transport convoy of the Demon Alliance Army was still passing under the Cloud City unscrupulously as usual.

The angel commandos in Cloudsdale suddenly rushed down from the sky as usual, and then directly launched the rockets in their hands towards the supply cart.

After some of the supply carts were set on fire, nearby demon warriors rushed over to extinguish the fire.

It was almost exactly the same as the raid that had happened the other day, the only difference was that the angel commandos didn't leave immediately.

A few days ago, the Angel Commandos were afraid of being entangled by vampires, so they fought quickly no matter what the outcome was, but today they went against the norm, and after igniting the supply cart, they directly faced the vampire warriors who rushed over.

Soon, the angel warriors and the vampire warriors were killed, and corpses continued to fall from the sky.

While a fierce battle was taking place below, two groups of people were closely watching the battle in the night sky in Cloudsdale and on a small dirt slope.

In a large hole in Cloudsdale, Cliff, Li Jun and the others were closely watching the situation below.

Although it was pitch black below, they couldn't see anything, but there were angelic scouts who would report to them at all times, so they knew exactly what was going on below.

"Lord of the City, the battle below has been going on for a while, if the enemy really has ambushes, they should have appeared a long time ago, after all, the angel commandos we sent out are not a small number, do you see if it is..."

After listening to the report on the battle situation for more than ten minutes, Li Jun immediately suggested to Cliff.

Ten minutes was enough time for the angel army to kill one back and forth, and Li Jun really couldn't figure out why Cliff was so indecisive.

"Don't worry, now it's the Angel Commandos who have the advantage, let's see."

Although Cliff also wanted to be like Richie, he would inflict heavy losses on the enemy in one fell swoop, so that Ning Yuan would be impressed by them, but he always had a bad premonition in his heart, so he kept hesitating.

"Okay, then you can continue to see, when you will be dispatched, just notify me." Li Jun glanced at Cliff with a helpless expression.

Although he was sent by Ning Yuan, the command of the Bright Angel Legion was in the hands of Cliff, and if Cliff didn't speak, he couldn't command the most elite legion of the Angel Clan at all, so he could only accompany Cliff here and continue to wait.

Cliff felt the dissatisfaction in Li Jun's words, but he didn't care, after all, he couldn't tell Li Jun that he had a very bad premonition, so cancel this operation, wouldn't that make people laugh off their big teeth?

So Cliff didn't pay attention to Li Jun, he continued to wait patiently, anyway, the enemy's convoy would carry food all night, and he would not worry about no goal when he sorted.

......

"Marshal Green, are you going to do this until dawn?"

I have been with Green on this small dirt slope for several nights in a row, and although Blood Wuji is not tired, he is a little annoyed.

"I've slept all day during the day, and I can't sleep at night anyway, so it's good to look at the scenery here." Green turned his head to look at the somewhat impatient Blood Wuji, and replied with a smile.

Blood Wuji looked at Green, pursed his lips disdainfully, and thought: Lao Tzu has also slept all day, and I wanted to come out at night to do activities, but I was caught by you every night.

"General Blood, why do you say that the enemy will have an uncharacteristically fierce battle with those vampire armies tonight?"

Knowing that Blood Wuji was a little bored, Green took the initiative to ask, hoping to distract him.

"I was so angry that I finally lit some supply carts, and in a blink of an eye, they were extinguished by the demon warriors who guarded them, and they didn't dare to go down to find the demon warriors to fight hard, so they could only make us vampires angry."

For the actions of the Angel Raiders, Blood Wuji was a face of contempt.

Isn't it just the protection of Cloudsdale? I have the ability to go out and fight with their blood clan.

After hearing Blood Wuji's return, Green shook his head with a smile and said, "If I say that they can't help it, will Blood General believe it?" ”

"You're saying the angels are going to make a big move next?" Hearing Green say that the angels couldn't help it, Blood Wuji immediately became energetic.

"That's right, we have continuously transported grain and grass from Cloud City to the front line, which is a great shame for the Angel Clan, if it were you the Blood General, would you be able to endure this breath?" Green asked with a smile as he looked at the night sky in the distance.

"Absolutely can't help it." Blood Wuji shook his head.

"Cliff was a bit cowardly, but he was able to see the situation clearly.

The Griffon Leader is their only hope now, and if the Griffon Leader is defeated, Cloudsdale will immediately become a lonely city, and they will have no way to escape.

So to help the Griffons, they're going to find a way to attack our convoy.

After sending out the assault team to achieve much success, they will next dispatch the Bright Angel Legion that never dared to leave Cloud City. ”

As if everything was under control, Green licked his lips excitedly, he was already a little impatient now.

"You mean the Angel Legion will go out in a big way and attack the convoys on the ground?" Hearing that there was going to be a big battle, Blood Wuji's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, it could be tonight, or tomorrow night, or a few days later, so we must always be ready to launch a general attack as soon as the enemy moves." Green clenched his fists, his eyes full of murder.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll accompany Marshal Green to continue to wait, anyway, the last thing we vampires lack is spirit.

But it's a bit boring to wait, so why don't we taste the wine and wait, what do you think? ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, come on, serve wine."
