Chapter 642 641. Cutting Into the Main Artery of Long-Range Troops

A few days later, in Minanka.

The scouts sent out were reporting the location of the barbarian army to Mo Cheng. It was not without talents who understood military affairs among the barbarians. The location where the barbarian army was stationed at this time eliminated Mo Cheng's idea of ​​a night attack or surprise attack.

Although the total number of barbarian troops exceeds 100,000, a considerable part of them are slaves and auxiliary soldiers who work in transportation.

At the same time, not all the barbarian armies gathered together, but a considerable part of the army was advancing towards nearby villages and cities.

Mo Cheng knew that this group of barbarian troops planned to collect food and grass on the spot without even needing to follow them.

After all, supply is an absolutely troublesome problem when conducting legion operations in other countries. In order to alleviate the pressure on food and grass, the simplest solution is to become the enemy of food.

Mo Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the adjutant in a low voice, "How much food do we still have?"

In order to set off as soon as possible, Mo Cheng directly asked the sub-dragon cavalry to go into battle lightly, abandoning all their burdens and carrying only a few days of dry food except for weapons.

This approach directly caused the marching speed of the sub-dragon cavalry to soar to the limit. Coupled with the recovery power and speed provided by Mo Cheng's several auras, the sub-dragon cavalry met the barbarian army five days faster than originally planned. .

If the munitions department waits until the food and grass are collected before setting off, it will take at least a month before setting off. By then, the barbarian army will be in even more trouble.

Mo Cheng has not forgotten who is behind the barbarian army, Elode, the god of blood sacrifice.

Once the army starts slaughtering and forming a blood sacrifice in Minanka, there is no need for barbarians to capture the city. As long as the villages and towns along the way are bloodbathed, when they encounter each other more than a month later, the opponent will definitely give themselves a [surprise].

The adjutant who was temporarily promoted did not hesitate or need to calculate, because he was always calculating how much food was left in the soldiers.

"Two days. If you save some food, you might be able to last three days."

The reason why there was so much food left was because the dragon-riding beast's load-bearing capacity was strong enough, allowing them to bring more food and grass before setting off.

Mo Cheng nodded. He was not surprised that there were not many supplies left. The soldiers under his command would have to stop the day after tomorrow, but he didn't look panicked.

This does not conflict with the previously determined plan. As long as the victory continues, supplies can be taken directly from the enemy.

"You take five thousand people to stay here to monitor the barbarian army. I will take five thousand people to eat the barbarians who leave the large army."

It was obviously unrealistic to charge ten thousand people against the barbarian army. To put it mildly, after charging several times, he would probably be the only one left.

He plays the game F2A on the premise of ensuring that he can win, and does not care about the losses caused by the charge of the whole army. In this case, the charge of the whole army is obviously "seeking abuse" rather than "victory".

Knocking them piecemeal, knocking down the barbarian army that far outnumbered them a little bit at a time, and eating them in small bites many times.

He didn't expect to be able to complete the task in one go, as that was unrealistic.

At the same time, another point is that those barbarians who left the large army obviously went to nearby villages and towns to conduct [expropriation].

On the way here, Mo Cheng had already inquired about Minanka's attitude towards the barbarian army.

That is to say, there is no attitude. Minanka is currently controlled by an alliance of nobles. The interests of each noble and the family behind them are different. Among them, some intend to kill the barbarians with swords, while some are determined not to let them pass through their territory.

There are even plans to collude with the barbarians behind their backs in an attempt to make the bandits self-respecting.

However, the military forces in the hands of various nobles have been fully reduced in the cities and territories they actually control. They know very well that other nobles will not be so kind to help. Once the military forces in their hands weaken, their own interests will also decline. .

Therefore, the only defensive forces in those villages and towns were the sheriffs and patrol teams.

They were absolutely unable to withstand the invasion and extortion of barbarian armies.

And this is what Mo Cheng wants. The high school knowledge that has not yet been returned to the teacher tells him that if he wants to restore Aundair to the country, then in addition to a powerful army, there must be something unavoidable - —[Popular sentiment].

In order not to harm their own interests, the noble alliance chose to ignore the actions of the barbarian army and abandoned the villages and towns that should have been protected by them.

Then Mo Cheng came out to save the people when those villages and towns were about to be invaded. After contrasting with the guys from the Noble Alliance, the people would naturally know who to follow.

Mo Cheng didn't expect that just one rescue would be able to respond to Aundair's counterattack, and countless villages and towns responded.

That is unrealistic. From ancient times to the present, the people have always followed whoever wins. Mo Cheng only hopes that when Aundair counterattacks, those people can be more stable.

While he was thinking about this, the scouts came back to report and found a small group of barbarian troops besieging a village.

Looking for a high ground, Mo Cheng looked at the villages and towns in the distance that were already in flames of war. The barbarians were trying to break through the fragile defense lines composed of the villages and towns' defense forces.

Mo Cheng could see very clearly that the military discipline of the barbarians who besieged the village could not be said to be in shambles, it could only be said that it was completely lacking.

The infantry held weapons in front of the cavalry, and the horses were not soundproofed. There was even reason to suspect that some of the cavalry's horses were rogue horses, which were moved back and forth uncontrollably by the loud noises at the scene, scattering their own camp.

At the same time, the cavalry also stood in front of the archers. Even the archers were not on high ground, but stood on the flat road, and their vision was completely blocked by the cavalry.

It gives people the feeling that the commander is completely incompetent and the entire team is in chaos.

But for Mo Cheng, the chaos of the barbarians in front of him was an excellent opportunity for him.

"Surround them on three sides and charge at full speed. Give me the first chance to crush the unprotected archers."

The archers, who had no infantry blocking them in front of them, still had their backs to this side, which was the perfect straw for the cavalry.

The barbarian commander, who was cursing at the failure of the attack and vowing to massacre the town later, suddenly felt the earth shaking uncontrollably.

At the same time, he suddenly felt a powerful murderous intention approaching behind him. He quickly looked back and saw a horrifying scene.

Behind his troops, thousands of cavalry were launching a devastating charge towards them.

Mo Cheng directly activated [Shenxing Taibao]. During the activation period, the friendly party received a double movement speed bonus. In an instant, the charging speed of the sub-dragon cavalry increased to a higher level.

And this kind of improvement resulted in the first round of charge. The barbarian's long-range troops were directly cut into the main artery and completely scrapped.
