Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

It takes a certain amount of time for Joseph to organize a cavalry group, and it still takes a certain amount of time to rush over from the Eastern European plains. During this waiting time, Ibn Haidar and others must face the four-sided siege of the Condor Empire alone.

In order to reduce the consumption of food and forage materials, and to prevent the morale of the soldiers from further reducing, Ibn Haidar finally gave up the idea of ​​attacking and breaking through, and began to shrink the defense across the board, waiting for the arrival of the Eastern European cavalry.

In the face of the Central Asia and Middle East coalition forces that suddenly turned from offensive to defensive, Ning Yuan immediately guessed that the enemy might have found reinforcements, so he gave up breaking through and began to recharge and preserve his strength.

Now the entire Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan are under attack by the Condor Army.

After all the teleportation arrays failed, the remaining troops of these two countries had some difficulty in protecting themselves, and they simply could not spare their hands to rescue the surrounded Ibn Haidar and others, so the only possible direction for reinforcements was to the west. .

The current location of the battlefield is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the Ural River. If the enemy really finds reinforcements from Eastern European countries, the farthest distance can even reach more than 3,000 kilometers.

To rescue the trapped Ibn Heydar and others across more than 3,000 kilometers, the only feasible way is to dispatch the purest cavalry regiment.

In order to complete the distance of more than 3,000 kilometers as soon as possible, all strategic materials and food must be carried by war horses, so this time the European cavalry corps that came to rescue Ibn Haidar and others must at least do One person three horses or one person four horses.

Two horses are used to transfer, and the other horse or two horses are used to carry necessary food and supplies. Along the way, a large amount of food must be prepared for the war horses in advance, and the load of war horses should be reduced as much as possible in the early stage.

Only in this way, the European cavalry regiment that came to support it can complete the more than 3,000 kilometers faster.

Thinking of this, Ning Yuan knew that the cavalry who came to support this time were all light cavalry with less load and more flexible combat.

There is basically only one chance to come to rescue across a distance of two or three thousand kilometers, so in order to ensure the success rate of rescue, the enemy is likely to send all the light cavalry in the country this time.

In this way, half a month later, there will be light cavalry armies from the entire Eastern Europe region and even the entire Europe in the west, and the number is likely to reach more than one million.

Although the cavalry of the Condor Empire is also very powerful, facing the European cavalry army with a size of more than one million, the Condor Empire must not be too big. Otherwise, once the enemy seizes the flaws, it will be difficult to accumulate in the early stage. The situation that arises is likely to be lost in one go.

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Ning Yuan pondered for a long time in the room alone.

Now, there are two choices in front of Ning Yuan.

The first option was that Ning Yuan immediately mobilized the domestic cavalry of the Condor Empire to quickly support him, and then fought a cavalry battle with the European cavalry group on the grasslands of the Kazakh Khanate with cavalry against cavalry.

The second option is not to dispatch troops from the country, but to use the troops of the Condor Empire in the Kazakh Khanate to make targeted arrangements in advance, and then wait and wait for the enemy to come over. fatal blow.

The first choice has a very high probability of winning, because the Condor Empire, which owns the entire Mongolian Plateau and Siberia, has the most powerful cavalry in the world.

As long as Ning Yuan transferred all the cavalry in the country, the probability of the Eagle Empire winning this cavalry battle would be close to 100%.

However, the cost of doing so will be very huge. In addition to consuming countless food and grass materials, the cavalry army of the Condor Empire will also suffer a lot of battle losses.

Although winning a war is the first duty, if every time you fight a battle you have to hurt your muscles and bones once, it will definitely not be worth the loss.

After several years of recuperation, the Condor Empire finally recovered a little bit. Ning Yuan didn't want to let the Condor Empire fall into the extremely difficult and tragic situation before, so even if he knew it would win, he still didn't want to fight with Europe. The cavalry army fought a massive war of attrition.

If you don't want to mobilize cavalry from the country on a large scale, the only option is to adapt to local conditions and use the existing army in the Kazakh Khanate to get through this difficulty perfectly.

In the face of a European cavalry army that may reach millions in size, the natural cavalry - the centaur legion will definitely go to war.

Ning Yuan was also very confident to use the hundreds of thousands of centaur troops in the Kazakh Khanate to defeat the European cavalry army that came from a long distance.

It's just that the number of centaur troops available to him is not very large at present, because he must leave enough centaur troops to besiege the one million elite army led by Ibn Heydar.

Once he sends a large number of centaur troops to the west to deal with the European cavalry army, then Ibn Heydar and others will definitely take the opportunity to force a breakthrough.

Without the deterrence of the centaur army on the side, Ibn Haidar could choose to divide the army of millions into pieces and bypass the front line of defense.

At that time, even if Ning Yuan can lead his army to intercept some of the enemies, a large number of enemies will eventually take the opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven.

In Ningyuan's strategic plan, the army of one million led by Ibn Haidar must remain in the territory of the Kazakh Khanate completely, and they must not be allowed to escape back to Uzbekistan.

So he must keep most of the centaur army here to watch the enemy, to prevent the enemy from breaking through.

It is impossible to summon all the centaur troops to the west to defend against the enemy, so other troops can only take the place of the centaur army.

Although the other light cavalry regiments of the Eagle Empire are also very good, they are not much stronger than the enemy's elite cavalry army.

Therefore, if other light cavalry were to take the place of the insufficient centaur army, then if a large-scale cavalry battle broke out, this loss would be indispensable.

After staring at the flags representing the various condor empire troops on the sand table for a long time, Ning Yuan's eyes suddenly stopped on a flag on the east bank of the Saresu River.

After seeing the name of the legion represented by the flag, a smile appeared on Ning Yuan's face immediately.

"Come here, pass my military orders.

Ordered Andrew to immediately lead the barbarian army to the Turgay River Basin for defense.

Ma Qianli was ordered to lead an army of 100,000 centaurs to the Turgai River Valley, where they would assist Andrew's barbarian army to intercept a large cavalry army that might come from the west.

Ma Qianzhang was ordered to lead a 100,000 centaur army and a 100,000 elf cavalry corps from the Siberia region to the Kostanay region, where they were temporarily on standby.

As soon as the barbarian legions of the Turgay Valley engage the enemy, they immediately intersperse me behind enemy lines, making sure to intercept all the rout troops in the area east of Aktobe.

He ordered Ma Qianren to lead an army of 50,000 centaurs and an army of 50,000 elf cavalry archers to station at Ozek.

As soon as the enemy's main force reaches the Turgai River valley, they will immediately send me north, ready to raid the enemy's flank at any time.

Ordered Lang Qingyun to lead 50,000 wolf cavalry to follow Ma Qianzhang. Ma Qianzhang was in charge of the daytime battles, while Lang Qingyun was in charge of nighttime harassment and sneak attacks.

Gu Tang told me Ma Qianli, Ma Qianzhang, and Ma Qianren that I could allow the enemy who dismounted from the horse to escape alive, but I would never allow the cavalry on horses to escape alive. "

After choosing an army to deal with the enemy, Ning Yuan immediately chose the battlefield in the Turgai River Basin, where the enemy was after all.

In order to keep all the main cavalry forces in Europe once and for all, Ning Yuan finally chose to transfer 250,000 cavalry from China.

......

After everything was arranged, Ning Yuan once again focused his attention on Ibn Haidar's army besieged in the Saaresu River Basin.

Although Ibn Haidar stopped attacking and chose strategic defense, Ning Yuan still had no intention of letting them go.

In the face of the heavily defended enemy camp, of course, Ning Yuan couldn't attack directly.

In order to make the enemy unable to live in peace, Ning Yuan directly launched a series of targeted harassment actions.

When the south wind was blowing, Ning Yuan would have people set up a row of cauldrons five hundred meters away from the enemy camp, and then simmered the fresh mutton in the pot.

Whenever a pot of mutton is cooked, hundreds of soldiers of the Condor Empire will go there to drink and eat meat.

From the morning to the evening, the mutton in the iron pot has not been broken. Every time a pot of mutton is cooked, someone will immediately add meat to the pot.

In this way, as long as it doesn't rain, Ning Yuan will send people to set up a large iron pot formation near the enemy's camp, drinking and eating meat in front of the enemy.

Smelling the strong aroma of meat blowing in the wind, looking at the soldiers of the Condor Empire who were drinking and eating meat in the distance, and then looking at the food in their bowls, many soldiers of the Central Asia and the Middle East coalition army suddenly lost their appetite.

Once upon a time, they also ate meat, but as they penetrated into the territory of the Kazakh Khanate, they ate less and less meat.

At the beginning, I could eat meat once a day, and then I could eat meat once in three days. Until now, I can only find some small pieces of meat in the porridge that I don’t know how long.

As time went by, not only did the diced meat in the porridge decrease day by day, but even the rice porridge itself became thinner day by day.

Looking at the thin rice porridge in the bowl and the hard pancakes in their hands, many soldiers felt cold in their hearts, because they knew exactly why this happened.

In fact, Ibn Haidar did not want to impose food control on the soldiers in the army at this time, because it would seriously affect the morale of the army.

However, facing the tight siege of the Condor Empire army and the millions of soldiers in the army, when he didn't know when the reinforcements from Joseph's side would arrive, he had to plan carefully and put as much food as possible. save.

Ibn Heydar's idea was very simple. Anyway, before Joseph's European cavalry army arrived, he would not take the initiative to attack the enemy.

Instead of continuing to keep the soldiers full, it is better to let them dry twice a day.

After Joseph's reinforcements arrived, he would distribute the food and jerky that he had saved these days to the soldiers to eat, which would not only boost the morale of the army, but also make the soldiers grateful to him.

So even though he knew that deducting the food of the soldiers in the early stage would affect their morale, Ibn Haidar resolutely chose to do so without affecting the health and physical strength of the soldiers.

Anyway, the army of Condor Empire did not dare to take the initiative to attack them, and they would not take the initiative to attack, so some influences on morale would not affect the overall situation.

Ibn Heydar's judgment was very correct. Although the soldiers of the coalition army were affected to some extent, their spirits were still there.

However, Ning Yuan's methods are more than that.

After seeing that the temptation of food did not affect the enemy as much as he imagined, Ning Yuan continued to send people to drink and eat meat in front of the enemy's camp, and also sent somersault cloud legion to launch random air strikes on the enemy's camp.

In this air raid, the soldiers of the Condor Empire on the somersault cloud threw not deadly weapons or dirty things, but various meats wrapped in kraft paper.

Some kraft paper bags contain a delicious piece of bacon, some kraft paper bags contain freshly cooked lamb, and some kraft paper bags contain a small piece of delicious beef jerky.. ....

In short, the kraft paper bags dropped by the Somersault Cloud Legion were filled with all kinds of delicious meats. As for what was inside, it was just like opening a blind box, depending on each person's luck.

At the beginning, the soldiers of the Central Asia and Middle East Allied Forces were worried that the Condor Army would poison the food, so many people dared not eat even though their saliva was drooling.

It may be that they haven't eaten meat for a long time, and finally some daring soldiers chose food between life and food.

When these soldiers who tasted the food did not have any strangeness afterwards, the whole camp of the Central Asia and the Middle East coalition forces was immediately fried.

Looking at the delicious kraft paper bags, the eyes of many soldiers immediately turned red.

Since the total amount of food in each kraft paper bag is very limited, only enough for a soldier to eat a few mouthfuls, so in order to compete for the food in the kraft paper bag, many jealous soldiers directly moved their hands.

Every time the somersault cloud legion dropped the kraft paper bag, the barracks below them would immediately appear in varying degrees of chaos, and many soldiers would fight for food.

Even though Ibn Haidar had given a death order and severely punished a group of unfortunate people, it was still unable to stop the chaos caused by the scramble for food.

It is actually very simple to really solve this problem, as long as Ibn Heydar takes out the jerky in the granary and distributes it.

But that batch of jerky was prepared by Ibn Heydar to boost the morale and nourishment of the army after Joseph led the army over.

Take it out now and distribute it, then the soldiers in the back will have to eat hard cakes and drink gruel, and morale will definitely be very low.

So it's not that Ibn Haidar doesn't understand this, but he has to take the big picture into consideration.

In the end, in the face of Ning Yuan's destructive move, Ibn Haidar could only choose to turn a blind eye. As long as the soldiers would not suffer casualties due to fighting for food, he would not bother to care anymore. .
