v2 Chapter 1242: , Winter Song (31)

As Ning Yuan's order was passed to Changgang Town, the Eagle Army and the logistics department in Changgang Town immediately acted urgently.

People try to fill every carriage with food and materials to keep out the cold, and the materials on each carriage are stacked like a hill.

If it weren't for the limited load capacity of the pack horses, there might be a miracle that only Brother Asan could see here in Changgang Town.

In addition to the pack horses and vehicles of the logistics transportation department, many centaur civilians who were recruited have also become the main force of the rescue materials.

In order to carry more food, the centaur civilians basically carried three or four times the usual amount of things on their backs, and they staggered eastward on foot, unable to run at all.

Because Ning Yuan has already ordered, all the food and grass materials that cannot be taken away must be destroyed.

So in order to avoid waste, the Baikal seals located near Changgang Town ushered in their most abundant feast this winter.

As long as it is what the Baikal seals like to eat, as long as it is in the Changgang Town camp, the officials of the Condor Empire in charge of managing the supplies will directly supply the Baikal seals who are staying here to rest.

After tens of thousands of Baikal seals had a full meal, there was a small burden on their backs.

The baggage contained the freshly frozen fish that they depended on for a living here.

Now everyone is trying their best to salvage the food and grass supplies for the army, and their own food can only be rescued by themselves.

Watching the hordes of Baikal seals carrying their burdens to the east with difficulty, looking at the various food and grass materials still piled up in the mountains of Changgang Town, many still remain in the logistics of the Condor Empire in Changgang Town. The staff couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Although they were very reluctant to burn this batch of food and grass materials that they had managed to transport over, the military orders were like mountains, and Ning Yuan's orders were more than anything else, so they had no choice.

"Two hours have come. Except for the army left behind, everyone else will immediately evacuate Changgang Town."

Soon, two hours will come. No matter how reluctant the logistics personnel are in the eyes of the condor soldiers responsible for setting fires, they faithfully carried out the orders given by Ning Yuan. Sprinkling kerosene on the grain supplies.

When all the combustibles in Changgang Town were sprinkled with kerosene, the remaining condor soldiers began to light piles of bonfires in the town. The bonfires extended from the west of Changgang Town to the far east. .

After all the preparations were done, the soldiers came to the bonfire in the far west of Changgang Town with arrows soaked in kerosene, where they waited for further orders.

About ten minutes later, a large black shadow suddenly appeared in the west of Changgang Town, and Li Yufeng's army arrived.

"Start the fire."

Although the Eagle Army officer in charge of staying behind did not want to set the entire Changgang Town on fire, with the appearance of Li Yufeng's army, he still issued this somewhat cruel order.

After hearing the superior officer's order to set fire, the soldiers in the formation immediately ignited the arrows on the bonfire, and then shot the flames to the places that had already been marked.

Soon the entire town of Changgang was on fire as the soldiers responsible for setting the fire fired rockets from west to east.

At this time, Li Yufeng's army was less than two kilometers away from Changgang Town. When Li Yufeng saw the raging fire suddenly rising in front, he immediately ordered the army to stop.

Looking at the growing fire in Changgang Town through the telescope, Li Yufeng couldn't help but admire Ning Yuan's ruthlessness.

For a small town to be able to ignite such a big fire, you don't even have to think that there must be a huge amount of food and grass stored in it.

Ning Yuan was able to let people burn the town and materials together without blinking an eye, how cruel he felt!

After all, as long as everyone knows, the Eagle Empire has just encountered a food shortage, and they have not fully recovered. Every batch of food and grass supplies is very important to them.

However, even so, Ning Yuan would rather burn it all with a fire than send his centaur army to block it. It seems that he is becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

"Commander, it's impossible for Ning Yuan to really burn all the food and grass materials stored in Changgang Town. Before we came over, he must have sent a lot of people to transfer them out.

I just sent a team of cavalry around the sea of ​​​​fire to investigate the east of Changgang Town, and found that there are heavy ruts on the east.

The ruts were fresh and deep.

It seemed that the enemy convoys had not only just left, but were all severely overloaded.

Commander, if we send cavalry to pursue the east now, I estimate that we will soon be able to catch up with the enemy's transport convoy. "

A few minutes later, Li Kun came to Li Yufeng with the latest information.

In fact, there is no need for Li Kun to report, and Li Yufeng can also guess this situation.

Because even if Ning Yuan was cruel, he wouldn't really be willing to burn so many grains and supplies.

He will definitely let the logistics department try to transfer part of it first, and then send someone to guard the part that is too late to transfer.

If his army hadn't appeared here in Changgang Town, then Ning Yuan would not have made people ignite.

Only when they led the army to appear here, would they have no choice but to burn the rest of the food and forage along with Changgang Town.

Judging from Ning Yuan's strategic layout, he would definitely not give himself time to lead the army to pursue it, at least the infantry would definitely not be able to catch up.

If he wanted to lead his army to pursue the convoys of the Eagle Army logistics that had left Changgang Town, he could only separate the infantry from the cavalry.

Once the cavalry regiment lost the cover of the Mo Dao Army and the Divine Arm Army, and let them face the centaur army who had come and gone without a trace, they would eventually be killed by the centaur warriors.

No way, those centaur warriors were born with four legs, and their racial talent naturally suppressed all cavalry on the ground. It was too difficult for other cavalry to defeat them in the wilderness.

Although Li Yufeng has full confidence in the Xuanjia cavalry and the Jingsai Army under his command, if the opponent is the centaur army, then he has no bottom at all.

Send the cavalry regiment to pursue the east actively, then when the cavalry regiment is finished, they should also be able to catch up with the logistics convoy evacuated from Changgang Town, and then destroy some of the vehicles.

But correspondingly, they shouldn't be able to come back, because the centaur army that has been following them all along is impossible to miss this rare opportunity.

As soon as the cavalry regiment is finished, the remaining infantry regiments will also be finished. Without any logistical supplies, it is estimated that the soldiers of the two infantry regiments will hardly survive this cold winter night.

If the cavalry regiment is not sent to take the initiative to pursue, but the army continues to turn around and go to other places, then with Ning Yuan's character, he should continue to order people to set fire to the villages and towns where they went. After all, Changgang Town is on fire, and it is not bad That one or two places.

In this way, they can not only force Ning Yuan to take the initiative to set fire to more villages and towns, but at night, they can also slaughter war horses to spend this cold winter night safely.

One war horse can feed fifty people for a day.

Now there are more than 60,000 war horses on his side, enough for the 200,000 people under his command to eat for half a month.

If they can find enough firewood and other combustibles for heating, they can last at least fifteen days.

Although the hope of their army escaping was very slim, fifteen days was enough for a lot of variables to happen. He wanted to see if Ning Yuan could really tolerate them wandering around on the eastern Henan plain for fifteen days.

After making a decision, Li Yufeng immediately ordered: "Pass our order, the army will immediately turn to the northeast, and we will go to Shangtun Township."

Following Li Yufeng's order, more than 200,000 troops immediately headed towards Shangtun Township.

......

After learning about the latest movements of Li Yufeng's army, Ning Yuan immediately ordered the Eagle Army near Shangtun Township to make a strategic transfer. He still took away what he could take away, and burned everything he couldn't take away.

When the vanguard of Li Yufeng's army came to Shangtun Township, many of the villages here had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Since the Condor Army did not store many strategic materials here, the fire here was not very big. Basically, some houses were burning after being ignited.

After arriving in Shangtun Township, Li Yufeng immediately sent people to fight the fire.

The number of people is strong, and after countless soldiers kept throwing ice and snow at the burning house, the flames that were not too big were quickly extinguished.

After the fire in the entire Shangtun Township was put out, Li Yufeng immediately ordered the soldiers to start collecting all kinds of things that could burn.

Although Ning Yuan did a great job, because the fire was quickly extinguished, Li Yufeng still collected a lot of incompletely burned wood, beams, etc. from the burning places.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Yufeng didn't want to toss any more. After he arranged the defense work on the periphery, he immediately let people start slaughtering the horses and preparing the army's dinner.

The cavalrymen of the two cavalry regiments were very reluctant to hear that they were going to slaughter the war horses they had been with day and night, but they understood that they had no way out now, and that was the only way they could do it now.

So after saying goodbye to the war horses who had accompanied them for many years, they all evaded and handed over the task to the soldiers of the Modao Army.

As the coldly shining Mo Dao kept swiping down, the entire Shangtun Township immediately bleeds into rivers, and the sad roar of the war horses lasted for a long time.

......

"What? Li Yufeng slaughtered all the horses?"

Ning Yuan, who returned to the camp, was stunned by the unexpected news.

Originally, he thought that he had secured the victory. After losing logistical supplies, the army of more than 200,000 people under Li Yufeng's command must not be able to survive until dawn tomorrow.

So he went straight back to the camp to deal with the Tauren Heavy Infantry Corps.

However, he never expected that Li Yufeng was even more ruthless than him, and slaughtered all the war horses directly.

If he remembered correctly, there were 60,000 to 70,000 warhorses!

So many war horses are enough for Li Yufeng's 200,000 people to eat for more than half a month.

And the most important thing is that the blood shed when the war horse is slaughtered can disperse the cold for the soldiers who gradually lose their body temperature.

After drinking the hot horse blood, eating some horse meat and broth at night, and then the soldiers leaned against each other to keep warm with the dried horse skin, then they would definitely be able to live to see the sun the next day.

Shangtun Township is less than ten kilometers away from the county seat of Suixian County.

Although Suixian County has been directly frozen by the condor army's ice hockey bombing, if Li Yufeng brings an army of 200,000 people over to break the ice, the ice in the county will not be able to withstand the disaster of 200,000 people!

If Li Yufeng was able to lead people to break the ice successfully, and then obtain the food and grass materials stored in the county seat of Suixian County, then coupled with the 60,000 to 70,000 horses they slaughtered, they would definitely be able to rely on the county seat of Suixian County to hold on for a long time.

In Ningyuan's plan, the Northern Expedition Allied Forces on the eastern Henan Plain should be eliminated as soon as possible. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Because his entire strategic plan has been launched, the battles in several other areas will soon start, and it is impossible to stop.

Therefore, he must never let Li Yufeng hold himself back in the Yudong Plain. He must solve this difficult opponent as soon as possible.

Although Ning Yuan's Cold Night Offensive has basically failed, he is not without any gains, because in order to fight against Ning Yuan's Cold Night Offensive, Li Yufeng has slaughtered all the war horses in the army.

The reason why the Xuanjia cavalry and the Jingsai Army were powerful was not only that the soldiers themselves were elites, but also that they were cavalry, heavy cavalry who were good at rushing into formation.

Once these two cavalry have no horses on which to charge, their strength will be directly discounted.

For the heavy cavalry who dismounted and turned into infantry, their real strength may be far inferior to those of the real heavy infantry, so Li Yufeng wants those heavy cavalry to replace the original role of the tauren heavy infantry, then he A little too naive.

And after losing all the war horses, Li Yufeng's army completely lost its mobility and turned into a pure infantry army.

In the past, Ning Yuan was afraid of the sudden charge of the black armored cavalry when he was fighting, and he did not dare to use many tactics.

Now, he doesn't need to have any scruples anymore, because the black armored cavalry has completely disappeared for the time being.

It is much easier to deal with a pure infantry army than a mixed army of infantry and cavalry.

Without the threat of the black armored cavalry, Ning Yuan's available tactics suddenly increased.

As Ning Yuan thought of a tactic that could make Li Yufeng cry without tears, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
