Chapter 629, the strategy of killing three birds with one stone
As the old saying goes, a change of commander is like a change of sword, and what style an army is depends entirely on the supreme commander of the army.
Cliff likes to keep it, so under his leadership, the Angels eventually shut themselves up in Cloudsdale and become more and more decadent.
Li Jun likes to use some despicable means to disgust the enemy, so under his leadership, many originally simple angel warriors have begun to learn badly.
Ning Yuan likes to be tough and do it if he is not convinced, so after he came to Cloud City, he immediately wanted to regain the initiative and give the enemy a dismount.
Of course, the current Ning Yuan is no longer the stunned young man who can only rush head-on, after experiencing countless baptisms of battles and battles, he has learned to adapt to local conditions and adapt to changes.
Take the current Cloud City as an example, the angel clan actually does not lack an army, what they really lack is confidence and the courage to go out.
It's still too early to go out, but confidence can be built up through one victory after another.
The angels have two lives, which is both a racial advantage and a fatal flaw for them.
Because they have two lives, in many cases, they don't die directly, so as long as the second life is still there, they can still thrive.
Also because of the two lives, many angels cherish the first life far less than other races, but they attach great importance to the second life.
Although they will be resurrected after losing their first life, they will be no different from death with only one life left, because they have begun to fear death and are not willing to participate in any risky actions.
The Condor Empire also has an angel clan, and Ning Yuan also cherishes their second life, but the situation between the angel clan of the Condor Empire and the angel clan of Cloud City is very different.
The angelic warriors of the Condor Empire were not afraid of death, they were all eager to continue to participate in the war, and it was Ning Yuan who forcibly ordered them to retire.
Because the population base of the Angel Clan of the Condor Empire is relatively small, once there is a large-scale death, it will seriously affect the reproduction of the race.
Cloudsdale is different, with the huge sanctuary of Cloudsdale, where angels have multiplied carefree for many years and has a huge population base.
The angel clan is a race where all the people are soldiers, and if all adult male and female angels are mobilized, Cloud City can pull out at least a few million troops, so the death and injury of hundreds of thousands of angels will not affect the reproduction of their race.
Since the disappearance of the Seraph, the angels living in Cloudsdale have begun to fall willingly, and the comfortable life has gradually worn out their blood, making them useless silver pewter heads.
If you want to reawaken their blood and turn them into true elite teachers, you must let them go through the baptism of iron and blood.
Although they all showed extraordinary courage in the previous battle to defend Cloudsdale, that level was far from enough, because the rabbit was anxious and still bitten, not to mention the angel clan who almost encountered the danger of extermination?
In order to train them to become a true elite master, the first task must be to get them out of Cloudsdale on their own initiative, and no longer rely on the Holy Light Realm that binds them here like a cage.
Only by getting rid of their dependence on the Holy Light Realm and Cloud City can they truly have self-confidence and blood, and become an elite army that the enemy does not dare to despise.
As a bystander, Ning Yuan saw through this precisely because he came to Cloud City in person.
And Cliff's death in battle not only awakened the long-lost blood nature of the angel clan, but also made Ning Yuan's power unhindered.
Cloudsdale is now in danger, and all the angelic warriors have pinned all their hopes on Ning Yuan, the only heir of Cliff, so that he can easily control all the military power firmly in his hands.
Now Ning Yuan is in power, even if he asks the angels to take the initiative to send them to death, they must obey the order, and Ning Yuan did so.
The Demon Legion now has a total of five barracks under Cloudsdale, and in order to prevent the angels from setting fire from above, there are almost no flammable materials in the demon barracks.
The barracks where grain and grass are stored are all made of special fireproof materials, which are difficult to ignite unless they are rushed into the interior and set on fire.
In order to prevent the attack of the Angel Legion, they built a large number of arrow towers in the barracks, so that even during the day, the Vampire Legion could not appear, and they themselves could deal with the Angel Army that came to sneak attack.
Four of the five demon barracks are distributed in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and one barracks is in the center to respond, no matter which barracks are attacked, there will be reinforcements to support them immediately.
By observing the scale of the demon military camp, Ning Yuan deduced that the four military camps in the southeast, south, and northwest should have 50,000 to 80,000 demon armies, and the number of demon troops in the middle camp was more than 100,000.
If he were to attack the four surrounding military camps, no matter which one they were, the demon army in the middle camp would be able to quickly support him.
If he were to attack the large camp in the middle, the four surrounding barracks would be able to quickly send reinforcements.
Obviously, when the enemy set up camp, he had already taken into account all the possible circumstances, so he arranged it in this way.
However, there is no perfect defense system in this world, and whether it can be cracked depends on whether people can find those flaws.
Although Ning Yuan couldn't find the flaws in this defense system arranged by the enemy, he could artificially expose the flaws, and the only flaw was that the cost of artificially creating flaws was relatively large.
Ning Yuan's tactic is actually very simple, that is, to use the first life of 100,000 angel warriors to transfer the demon army in the middle camp away, which is what the Chinese people often call the strategy of transferring the tiger away from the mountain.
In the past, the sneak attack of the Demon Coalition on Cloud City was to use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and the Bright Angel Legion was transferred away from Cloud City, so Ning Yuan could be regarded as using his own way to govern others.
As long as the demon army in the middle camp was attracted by the 100,000 decoy legions, then Ning Yuan could lead the superior forces to eat the demon army of any other military camp.
A big victory will greatly boost the morale of the Angel Legion, and if conditions permit, they can even take advantage of the victory to pursue and severely damage this demon army under Cloud City, after all, they are the superior side in terms of the number of troops.
Even if they can't continue to expand the results of the battle, being able to destroy tens of thousands of demon armies on the ground is also a very important booster for the demoralized angel clan.
At least in the future, when encountering the demon army, the angel warriors will not be psychologically disadvantaged.
Moreover, after the demon army was hit hard, they would definitely not dare to camp under the noses of the angel clan as unscrupulously as they do now, because they didn't know when the angel army above their heads would suddenly kill again.
And once they withdraw from the coverage of Cloudsdale, or carry out strategic contraction, then they will no longer be able to control the Holy Light Mushroom, the most important strategic resource in Cloudsdale now.
With a steady source of food, Cloudsdale is truly impregnable.
Therefore, Ning Yuan's initiative to attack this time, in addition to wanting to stimulate the blood of the angel clan, also has very important strategic significance.
If all goes well, then Cloudsdale will not only attract more enemies, but also threaten the enemy's food delivery plans, and by the way, solve the food problem that plagues Cloudsdale, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.
......
The Lost Continent has a tropical monsoon climate, which is very hot all year round, especially at noon, when the sun shines in direct sunlight.
The huge city in the clouds blocked out most of the sunlight from the land below, but a large amount of holy light was shining from above.
The mixture of the holy light and the sunlight shining through the hole was equally glaring when looking up at the sky from the ground.
At noon, the demon warriors had just finished their lunch, and in order to escape the harsh sun, they all took refuge in the dug pit to rest.
In the entire demon barracks, except for those demon sentries on duty on the arrow tower, there was basically no movement in sight.
And the time when Ning Yuan chose to launch a surprise attack was at this moment.
With Ning Yuan's order, House led a hundred thousand decoy legions to swoop down directly from Cloud City.
One hundred thousand angelic warriors wearing silver holy light armor immediately stirred up a dazzling silver light in the sky under the illumination of the holy light.
"Enemy attack."
Such a big movement must not have escaped the eyes of those demon sentinels, and when they saw the silver light falling at a rapid speed, they immediately sounded the alarm of the enemy attack.
After hearing the siren, the demon warriors of the Northern Battalion picked up their weapons and stood up from the tunnel, and then quickly lined up, ready to meet the enemy.
"Shoot."
Facing the Angel Legion that swooped directly into the barracks, the demon commanders in charge of directing the long-range attacks ordered their soldiers to start shooting.
The Angel Warriors are protected by the Armor of Holy Light, which directly ignores the enemy's ranged attacks.
With the help of the tremendous inertia of the swoop, they directly used their bodies as weapons, and before the demon warrior could shoot a second arrow, they had already broken into their formation.
Although the demon warriors were not afraid of impact, the angel warriors who rushed down first were holding blades in their hands, and with the help of huge inertia, the angel warriors easily penetrated all the defenses of the demon warriors and directly nailed them to the ground.
Of course, under such a huge inertia, the angelic warriors were also not happy, and when they collided with the enemy, they themselves also suffered great damage.
After killing the enemy, many angelic warriors themselves turned into a silver light and flew directly back to the Temple of Light to resurrect.
Originally, with the fighting style of the Angel Clan, it was impossible for them to use such radical combat methods, and it was the order issued by Ning Yuan that allowed them to successfully change their fighting style.
100,000 people must all die in battle, and since they can't escape death, why don't they die worthwhile?
And what could be more valuable than killing more enemies than to die a worthwhile death?
So in order to gain the first opportunity, House directly organized a death squad, and their task was to sacrifice themselves, disrupt the enemy's formation, and create an excellent fighting environment for their companions behind.
All the members of the death squad swooped down from a high altitude, and with the huge impact force, they successfully completed the task.
Not only did the demon warriors in the Northern Battalion suffer countless casualties in this impact, but the defensive formation they had managed to organize with great difficulty was also completely disrupted.
And at this critical moment, the follow-up army led by House fell from the sky, and they landed in every part of the demon camp, successfully cutting off the connection between the enemy's various departments, and the entire demon camp suddenly fell into a melee.
There are 60,000 demon troops stationed in the Demon North Camp, and after falling into a state of full-scale melee, because they are inferior in numbers, in many places in the big camp, a situation has been formed in which angel warriors fight more and fight less.
The Angelic Warriors were clad in armor of holy light that could withstand damage, armed with weapons made of silver of light, and they were all fighting with the belief that they would die, so they quickly gained a huge advantage.
With a large number of demon warriors being killed, the advantage of this angel legion is also increasing, and if there are no reinforcements appearing, the demon legion of the North Battalion can become history.
......
When the Angel Legion launched a surprise attack on the Demon North Camp, Green, who was in charge of the Chinese army, got the news as soon as possible.
When he learned that Cloud Medium had dispatched more than 100,000 troops to attack the North Camp, his brows immediately furrowed.
With his understanding of the angel clan, unless those days made him lose his mind, it would be impossible to take the initiative to launch such a large-scale war, so there must be demons when things go wrong.
But even if Green tried to break his head, he never came up with why the enemy did this?
Could it be that the angels simply wanted to avenge Cliff?
They couldn't find a hiding place for the vampire legions, so they turned their anger on the demon army they led?
Green never dreamed that Ning Yuan actually just wanted to play with him, because no one would be stupid enough to use an army of more than 100,000 as bait, and its purpose was only to annihilate the enemy army of 50,000 or 60,000.
Even if the math is taught by a physical education teacher, they will know that the deal is not worth it.
Although everyone in the angel clan has two lives, after that night battle, there are not many angel warriors who still have two lives.
And the angels have always been more desperate, so Green still can't figure out why they did this.
And when Green learned that the angel warriors who attacked the North Camp were all "outlaws", and the defenders of the North Camp had begun to run out, the doubts in his heart were even greater.
It's a pity that there is no time for him to ponder the real answer now, the defenders of the Northern Battalion may be defeated at any time, so he can only lead the assembled 100,000 troops to rush over with doubts.
