Natural Disaster

Chapter 379 Counterattack

Vaughan would never have imagined that a full-fledged attack of thousands of miles would fail in the end, and would end in a loss. He could only lead the army personally, and smash a bloody path from the snow league’s heavy siege. The Xue Allies chased them out of a hundred miles, and they had been out of the ice and snow ridge, and they hadn’t let it go.

20,000 elites in Glacier City came in, leaving about 8,000 when they withdrew.

“No more chasing.” Zhang Mu stopped chasing. “Vaughan arranged an army of tens of thousands of people behind. Once the Frost Trolls rendezvous, we will be disadvantaged in the field situation.”

The morale of the Xue Alliance army was temporarily mobilized, but the rabble was the rabble, and they were hungry for many days, and it was impossible for them to fight for a long time.

The Frost Troll came back with a carbine, and the Snow Allies could not stop it in a field battle.

Vaughan’s strategy is blitzkrieg. Relying on the advantages of sharp soldiers and maneuverability, the vanguard will run for thousands of miles. Without giving the Xuemeng time to react, he will retreat after a fight, not seeking to kill the enemy, but destroying the altar. Once the altar is breached, the Xuemeng will definitely be defeated. A few days later, the main army and the vanguard will rendezvous and launch another round of attacks to defeat the Xuemeng’s team.

This battle was undoubtedly a failure, because Vaughan was too hasty. In fact, Long Hao deliberately let the spacecraft pass over Vaughan’s head and actively stated his strategy. It was nothing more than to stimulate the Frost Troll and let Vaughan know that he was discovered, lest the Xuemeng had enough time to prepare, speed up the march in a hurry, and finally caused the lone army to deepen. But the backup was not enough, and he was defeated.

This is the consequence of underestimating the enemy.

Vaughn underestimated the morale of the Xuemeng, and underestimated the fighting ability of the Xuemeng. Vaughan should change his strategy at that time and let the vanguard stop and wait for the Zhu army to rendezvous. Although the battle of the main army is not as good as the vanguard’s elite, it is not as difficult as the elite troops’ ability to travel freely in the ice and snow ridge. At any rate, there are a large number of them, and there is no problem with supplies. Things.

It’s too late anyway.

Glacier City failed.

Vaughan returned with less than half the elite, and joined the main army on the third day. Glacier City did not have the strength to attack. Because Vaughan himself had fallen into a weak state, Long Hao and Lei Ming had made trouble in the rear again, and had to return to the assessment temporarily.

Seeing that the soldiers carried all the corpses, Xue Ling picked out the complete corpses and placed them under the altar, preparing for the death ceremony.

In this battle, the Snow League lost 30,000 soldiers, and the undead lost about 7,000 to 8,000. Even in the case of waiting for work with more and less attacks, they still paid 3 times the cost of casualties. This is enough to reflect the tyrannical combat power of the elite army of the frost trolls. And the huge gap between the Snow Allied Army and the Glacier Army.

Of course, of the 30,000 people lost by Xuemeng, more than 10,000 were not killed by the Frost Troll, but finally cracked Vaughan’s trick. When the solidified energy falls off the ground and becomes pure energy again, it will be released at one time. The heavy losses caused.

Fortunately, Zhang Mu succeeded in stopping it. If the skills were directly detonated, with the crowded situation at that time, about 40,000 people near the altar would have died, which would be a catastrophe.

When the Dawn returned to Ice and Snow Ridge, its energy was basically exhausted.

This time the plunder grabbed a large amount of supplies, because Vaughan issued the destruction order in time, so the food harvest was smaller than the image. However, if there is less return, Zhang Mu’s promise can be fully realized, at least let everyone eat a full meal.

Xuemeng was not stingy, and drew more than half of the food, which greatly rewarded the whole army.

After a battle, the lifeless Xue Allied army was rejuvenated.

Xue Ling personally bowed and saluted several humans: “Thank you.”

Zhang Mu, Long Hao, Lei Ming, Huang Tian, ​​if there are not four of them, Xue Meng will definitely not win, let alone keep the altar.

“Although we won a battle, the results are obviously not enough, because through this war, we have not changed anything.” Lei Ming was not very happy, “Xuemeng still has insufficient supplies, the strength of Xuemeng is still weaker, and Glacier City The main force is still there, the supply is sufficient, the number of troops, the army is stronger. Vaughan is not a general, after this failure, he will become more cautious!”

Long Hao asked Leiming: “How many days did we bring back enough food?”

Lei Ming replied: “Not much, even if it is calculated with the lowest consumption, it will last for about two days at most!”

“Only 2 days?”

Lei Ming nodded: “With the lowest consumption, it is two days. If the standard consumption is calculated, we will run out of food again tomorrow!”

Everyone looked sad.

What can I do in two days?

After two days, Xuemeng will run out of food again. Where can I get it this time? Vaughan gains his wisdom after eating. The three towns and even the Ice and Snow Pass will definitely not accumulate too much food. Can’t he go directly to Glacier City to grab food, right?

Huang Tian sighed: “There is no way, our team is too bloated!”

Few of the current Snow Allied forces have received formal organization and training. The real army was wiped out in the battle of the Ice and Snow Pass. The current Snow Allied forces are composed of young and middle-aged residents. The harsh environment of the Desperate Ice Field will encourage the people to be sturdy, but compared with the regular army, there is a big gap.

Zhang Mu rubbed his temple head, pondered for a while and said, “Is there food for 2 days? Almost! In these two days, we will try our best to create the undead and expand the army at the fastest speed! Let’s set out with an army directly and counterattack the Frost Troll. Capture the lost town.”

Someone immediately said: “Is it too early?”

Long Hao shook his head and pointed out: “Bingxueling has to take a few days to return to the three towns, so we have to consider it. In other words, we need to starve for a few days anyway. Morale will be greatly affected. Before the morale was dissipated, immediately began to counterattack and retake the villages and towns. If the snow allies are supported by their beliefs, the fighting strength can be best preserved if they pursue the victory and seize the banner of returning home.”

Vaughn doesn’t know the Snow King at the moment.

The Snow Allies basically didn’t know.

Some senior Xue Ling, although they knew about the Snow King, did not know when the Snow King could successfully transform into an undead. It has been almost 20 days since the Snow King was put into the Hades’s Coffin, and the Xue League did not have time to wait any longer. Although the overall strength was not enough, it was not the best time for a decisive battle, but there was no choice.

“Then do it!”

Vaughan was weak and didn’t dare to go into the army easily.

Although it is not the best time, it is also an opportunity anyway. If you miss the opportunity, you may not be able to catch it again.

After much discussion, everyone finally made a decision. First, draw out a relatively elite army of 100,000, bring more food to go first, and try to maintain it for one or two days. The rest of the army or the undead stay in the ice and snow ridge. Of course, there is not much food. , Can only keep hunting for a while, and will not starve for a short time.

After the meeting, Zhang Mu was about to return to his residence, but was intercepted by Chen Tingting in the middle, “Brother, you come with me!” Chen Tingting took Zhang Mu’s hand and ran directly into an igloo, “We are eating stew. Well, come and help!”

Zhang Mu smelled a tempting fragrance.

There was an ice stove in the igloo. Everyone used magic fuel to make a fire. Just after some meat slices were placed in the pot, the water boiled slightly, and the attractive aroma gradually diffused. Du Rongrong and Qin Xiaoshi slobbered and battled beside them.

“Wood, come and help!”

Zhang Mu had no choice but to help cooking. At the same time, he used cooking techniques several times. After magic processing, the pot of food immediately rose to several grades.

“All right.”

Several people share a pot of stew.

Du Rongrong drank half a bowl in one breath, “It’s so fragrant.” She touched her stomach, “I haven’t eaten for many days, I’m almost starving.”

Chen Tingting also gobbled up, drank and ate up.

“Brother Zhang Mu.”

Qin Xiaoshi brought a bowl to Zhang Mu. On his beautiful and delicate face, his eyes were as clear as black gems. They were very clean and innocent. Such people are very rare among human beings.

Zhang Mu smiled slightly and said, “Thank you.”

Qin Xiaoshi was shy, his face flushed directly.

Du Rongrong laughed: “Xiao Shi is shy!”

Qin Xiaoshi quickly argued, “I don’t have one.” The voice was soft, just like her personality.

Chen Tingting said to Zhang Mu: “Brother, I’m so handsome today. Use a fire-breathing skill to block Vaughan’s big hockey puck, otherwise we will all have to die. Xiaoshi worships you terribly, as soon as you have time. Bothering me to inquire, I’m so annoying!”

Qin Xiaoshi was embarrassed.

Du Rongrong and Chen Tingting are two ghosts, lively by nature and like to be funny, Qin Xiaoshi is a standard good girl, quiet and always being teased. Zhang Mu looked at the three girls playing around, but his heart was very warm. They were not of high physique. They hadn’t eaten enough for many days, and they were so cold in the icy and snowy environment.

But no complaints.

Instead, stay optimistic.

Some adults can’t do it.

Zhang Mu knocked on Du Rongrong and Chen Tingting’s heads alone, “Stop making trouble, eat and drink well, rest early, and we will leave tomorrow.”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and all the other people in the core group of Huangquan came.

“I guess I know you are here.”

Everyone walked in with a smile. Everyone brought food. Zhang Mu was the only cook in the core group. After everything was processed by magic, the strongest effect could be retained. Because of this, everyone was recruited.

The fat man carried a wine jar, “I got some wine, boss, let’s have a few drinks!”

The crowd gathered to eat and drink.

Some of this group followed Zhang Mu at the beginning, and some joined in one after another halfway through. Everyone has different personalities, but unknowingly, they have become trusted companions to each other and built a family.

Lei Ming said as he ate, “The Dawn has little energy and can only walk tomorrow. If this happens, I am afraid that Vaughan will find it. What should I do if it is intercepted or attacked on the way?”

Zhang Mu had thought of it a long time ago.

But there is no way, even if he knows he has been attacked, he has to kill him, at least retake a town. Because a town is retaken and the right to use the airport is regained, mankind has a way to contact the camps and deliver a batch of supplies in time to solve the most troubled food problem to a certain extent.
