Heavenly Calamity - Chapter 378

[Chapter 92 Counterattack]

Vaughan would never have imagined that a thousand-mile attack full of confidence would end in failure, and would end up with a loss of troops.

He could only lead the army himself, and forcefully cut a bloody path from the heavy siege of the Snow League.

The Snow Allies chased for a hundred miles, and they have been out of the Ice and Snow Ridge, and they have not given up.

20,000 elites from Glacier City rushed in, and when they pulled out, there were only about 8,000 left.

“You don’t need to chase anymore.” Zhang Mu stopped chasing, “Vaughn arranged for an army of tens of thousands of people to follow. Once the frost trolls meet, in a field battle situation, we will be disadvantaged.”

The morale of the Xue allied army was temporarily mobilized. , but the rabble is the rabble, and it is impossible for them to fight for a long time after being starved for many days.

Frost trolls come and go with their carbine, and the snow allies will never be able to stop them in the field.

Vaughn’s strategy was a blitzkrieg, relying on the sharp edge of the soldiers and the advantages of mobility, let the vanguard run thousands of miles, without giving Snow League reaction time, retreat after a battle, not seeking to kill the enemy, just to destroy the altar.

Once the altar is breached, the Snow League will inevitably collapse. A few days later, the main army will join the vanguard and launch another round of attacks to defeat the Snow League team.

This battle was undoubtedly a failure, because Vaughan was too hasty.

In fact, Long Hao deliberately let the spaceship pass over Vaughn’s head, and took the initiative to show his strategy. It was nothing more than to stimulate the frost troll and let Vaughn know that he was discovered, lest Xuemeng have enough time to prepare, so he accelerated the march in a hurry, and finally caused the lonely army to go deep. And the backup was not enough, and it was a big defeat.

This is the consequence of underestimating the enemy.

Vaughn underestimated the morale of the Snow League and underestimated the fighting ability of the Snow League.

Vaughan should have changed his strategy at that time, stopping the vanguard and waiting for the Zhu army to meet.

Although the battle of the main army is not as good as the elite of the vanguard army, it is not as easy as the elite troops can travel freely in the ice and snow mountains. Anyway, there are a large number of them, and there is no problem with supplies. It is not too difficult to fight steadily and step by step. thing.

It’s too late anyway.

Glacier City failed.

Vaughn returned with less than half of the elites, and joined the main army on the third day. Glacier City did not have the strength to attack.

Because Vaughn himself fell into a weak state, Long Hao, Lei Ming and his gang made trouble in the rear, and had to temporarily return to the assessment.

Xue Ling saw that the warriors carried all the corpses up, picked out the complete corpses, and placed them all under the altar, ready to perform the undead ceremony.

In this battle, Snow League lost 30,000 soldiers, and the undead lost about 7,000 or 8,000. Even if they waited for work and attacked less, they still paid three times the cost of casualties. This is enough to reflect the tyrannical combat effectiveness of the Frost Troll elite army. And the huge gap between the Snow Allied Army and the Glacier Army.

Of course, of the 30,000 people lost by Snow League, about 10,000 were not killed by the frost trolls, but they finally cracked Vaughn’s trick, the solidified energy fell off the ground, and when it became pure energy again, it was released once. significant losses.

Fortunately, Zhang Mu managed to stop it. If the skill was directly detonated, with the crowded situation at that time, about 40,000 people near the altar would be killed. It was a catastrophe.

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

This time, a large amount of supplies was looted, because Vaughan issued a timely destruction order, so the food harvest was a little smaller than in the image.

But less is less, Zhang Mu’s promise can be fully realized, at least everyone can have a full meal.

Snow League was not stingy, and allocated more than half of the food to greatly reward the entire army.

The originally lifeless Xue Allied Army, after a battle, was revived instead.

Xueling personally bowed to the several humans and said, “Thank you.”

Zhang Mu, Long Hao, Lei Ming, and Huang Tian,

without the four of them, Xueling would definitely not be able to win, let alone keep the altar.

“Although we won a battle, the results are obviously not enough, because through this war, we haven’t changed anything.” Lei Ming was not very happy, “Snow League is still not enough supplies, Snow League is still weaker, and Glacier City is still weaker. The main force is still there, the supplies are sufficient, and the number of troops and troops are stronger. Vaughn is not a generalist, after this defeat, he will become more cautious!”

Long Hao asked Lei Ming: “How many days will we bring back enough food? ”

Lei Ming replied, “Not much, even at the minimum consumption, it will last for about two days at most!”

“Only two days?”

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

Everyone showed a sad look.

What can you do in two days?

After two days, Xuemeng will run out of food again. Where will I get it this time?

Vaughn eats a sting and becomes wiser. He will definitely not hoard too much food in the three towns or even in the Ice and Snow Pass, so he can’t go directly to Glacier City to get food, right?

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

Not many of the Xue Alliance troops have received formal formation and training. The real army was wiped out in the Battle of Bingxueguan. It is composed of young and middle-aged residents.

The harsh environment of the Despair Icefield will make the people sturdy, but compared with the regular army, there is a big gap.

Zhang Mu rubbed the head of his temple, thought for a while, and said, “Is there food for 2 days? It’s almost it! In these two days, we will do our best to create undead and expand the army as quickly as possible! Capture the lost town.”

Someone immediately said, “Is it too early?”

Long Hao shook his head and pointed out: “Bingxueling is a few days’ journey back to the three towns, so it has to be taken into account, that is to say, no matter what, We all need to starve for a few days. Morale will be greatly affected. We must start counterattacks and recapture the villages and towns immediately before the morale is dissipated. If we pursue the victory and take back our homeland, the Snow Allies will be supported by faith. , the combat power can be best preserved.”

Vaughn currently does not know the Snow King.

The Snow Allies basically don’t know.

Some senior leaders of Xueling, although they know about the Snow King, do not know when the Snow King will be successfully transformed into an undead.

It has been almost 20 days since the Snow King was put into Hades’ coffin, and the Snow League had no time to wait any longer. Although the overall strength was not yet ready, it was not the best time for a decisive battle, but there was no choice.

“Then do it!”

Vaughn was weak and did not dare to leave the army easily.

It’s not the best time, but it’s a good time.

If you miss the opportunity, you may never get it back.

After some deliberation, everyone finally made a decision. First, they would draw out a relatively elite army of 100,000 people, bring more food first, and try to maintain it for a day or two. The rest of the army or the undead stayed in the ice and snow ridge. Of course, there was not much food. , can only hunt for a while, and will not starve to death in a short time.

After the meeting, Zhang Mu was about to return to his residence, but was intercepted by Chen Tingting halfway through,

“Brother, come with me!” Chen Tingting took Zhang Mu’s hand and ran directly into an igloo, “We are stewing meat to eat. Well, come and help!”

Zhang Mu smelled a tempting fragrance.

There was an ice stove in the igloo, and everyone used magic fuel to set up a fire. The water just boiled slightly, and the tempting aroma gradually dissipated.

Du Rongrong and Qin Xiaoshi stood beside him with a battle of words.

“Wood, come and help!”

Zhang Mu had no choice but to help with the cooking. After using the cooking technique several times at the same time, after the magic processing, the pot of food immediately rose a few grades.

“Okay.”

Several people shared a pot of stewed meat.

Du Rongrong clucked and drank half the bowl in one go, “It’s delicious.” She touched her stomach, “I haven’t eaten for several days, I’m almost starving.”

Chen Tingting also devoured it.

“Brother Zhang Mu.”

Qin Xiaoshi brought a bowl to Zhang Mu. On her beautiful and delicate face, her eyes were as clear as black gems, very clean and pure. Such a person is very rare among human beings.

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

Qin Xiaoshi was shy, and her face immediately turned red.

Du Rongrong laughed: “Xiao Shi is shy!”

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

Chen Tingting said to Zhang Mu: “Brother, today is so handsome. Use a fire-breathing skill to block Vaughan’s big ice puck, or we will all die. Xiaoshi worships you to the death. It’s annoying to pester me to inquire!”

Qin Xiaoshi was embarrassed.

Du Rongrong and Chen Tingting are two ghost spirits, lively by nature and like to be funny, Qin Xiaoshi is a standard good girl, quiet and always being teased.

Zhang Mu watched the three girls play, but his heart was very warm.

But never complained.

Instead, stay optimistic.

Some adults can’t do it.

Zhang Mu tapped on the heads of Du Rongrong and Chen Tingting, “Don’t make trouble, eat well and drink well, rest early, we will leave tomorrow.”

At this time, footsteps came, and the rest of Huang Quan’s core group came. .

“I guess I knew you were here.”

Everyone walked in with a smile, and everyone brought food. Zhang Mu was the only cook in the core group. After magic treatment, anything can retain the strongest effect.

Because of this, everyone is invited.

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

Everyone gathered around to eat and drink.

Some of this group followed Zhang Mu from the beginning, while others joined one after another halfway through. Everyone’s personality was different, but before they knew it, they had become trusted companions and built a family.

Lei Ming said as he ate, “The Dawning ship has little energy, so I can only walk tomorrow. If this happens, I’m afraid Vaughn will find out. What should I do if I encounter an interception or a sneak attack on the way?”

Zhang Mu had already thought of it.

But there is no way, even if you know that you are being attacked, you have to kill it, at least take back a town.

Because of retaking a town and retaking the right to use the airport, human beings will have 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.
