The next morning.
A snowstorm comes unexpectedly.
This was a good opportunity. The Mercenary Union and the Chinese Alliance took advantage of the raging snowstorm and set off with the Snow Alliance Third Order. A total of 100,000 relatively elite Snow Alliance troops were taken away, plus four to five thousand undead to leave the Ice and Snow Ridge. The rest are on standby in Ice and Snow Ridge to create more undead warriors to further expand the strength of the Snow Allied Forces.
An army of 100,000 people is an elite for the Snow Alliance. In fact, it is just a matter of selecting a few tall ones among the many dwarfs. The strength of the army is naturally not strong, but it is barely up to the ordinary level. As for the four to five thousand undead, half of them are It had just been awakened last night, and was made entirely of the elite frost trolls who died in battle. The other half was selected from the undead army, and most of them had superior combat effectiveness.
Vaughn is currently very weak, and the Third Army is enough to deal with him. In addition, the army has just suffered a defeat. Let alone whether the Snow Alliance army can be found, Vaughn does not dare to attack rashly even if he knows that the Snow Alliance army is chasing him.
The ice sheet is vast and empty. One hundred thousand people are like a group of tiny bugs in the vast ice field, drowned in the snowstorm, and they are inconspicuous at all. Glacier City does not have advanced reconnaissance tools, but the Snow League has advanced reconnaissance bugs that can fly hundreds of feet in the air to monitor hundreds of miles at a time. It is not easy for the frost trolls to find the Snow League troops and intercept and attack them.
Zhang Mu avoided sensitive routes, and it would be best if he made a surprise attack and captured a town without being discovered by Vaughn.
As we marched through the ice and snow day and night, the blizzard became stronger and stronger.
Zhang Mu had to stop marching in order to save the soldiers' physical strength.
Everyone found a place to take shelter from the wind.
"At the current speed, I'm afraid it will take several days to reach the three towns." Lei Ming calculated the marching speed, "When we arrive, most of the soldiers will be too hungry to have any strength. Unless we can capture the towns in one battle, the consequences will be disastrous. ”
Long Hao said: "Among the three towns, Bingyan Town is the most suitable to capture." He gave the reason, "Bingyan Town has the thickest city wall. It will be easier for us to defend after we occupy it. Vaughn's garrison is located in Bingxue Town in the center. After the Dawning raid in Ice Rock Town the day before yesterday, there were not many Frost Trolls left. In such a short period of time, even if we replenish them, the number is probably not that high. This is an opportunity!"
Huang Tian said, "If we just break in, can we hide it from Vaughn?"
"I have an idea."
Zhang Mu gestured with his hand on the snow, "Let's split up. I will lead 80,000 people towards Bingfeng Town and take the first step. Long Hao will lead 20,000 people in a circle to attack Bingyan Town. If Vaughn has nothing Check, both towns have been captured. The result couldn't be better. We can meet directly through the train. If Vaughn notices, of course I will launch a feint attack on Icewind Town in order to attract Vaughn's attention, but I won't really use it. . And what Long Hao wants to do is to take the opportunity to sneak attack on Bingyan Town."
Long Hao agreed.
Zhang Mu divided the army into two, and basically allocated the fast and highly maneuverable barbarian warriors to Long Hao, plus some Xue tribe archers to assist him. The giant spirits and undead were not given. The former was too slow and lacked mobility, while the latter was not flexible enough. As a surprise soldier, Long Hao's speed and adaptability were crucial.
"Tomorrow at noon, we will separate and go in different directions."
Several people perfected the details.
Zhang Mu led 80,000 people to separate. Among the more than 80,000 people, Xuehou, Manhou, Julinghou, and several powerful intelligent undead were all included. Because Zhang Mu's route is relatively straight and the number of people is relatively large, he is easily discovered by the frost trolls. Once discovered, a battle is inevitable. Without sufficient combat power, how can he dare to deal with Vaughn. Fortunately, Vaughn was very weak and his fighting ability was greatly reduced.
The Snow Allies split into two and set off from different directions.
On the third day, everyone ate all the food they brought. No matter how frugal they were, it was not enough. The journey has just passed halfway, and it is too late to retreat now. The soldiers also know that only by fighting to the death can they gain a chance of survival.
On the fourth day, the scout bugs ahead suddenly found traces of Frost Troll activity. Vaughan had probably discovered the Snow Alliance team. Sure enough, things are not easy. If we launch an attack on Icewind Town now, we will avoid being severely attacked by the Frost Trolls.
no choice.
Since there was no need to hide after being discovered, Zhang Mu ordered to speed up the advance. If Vaughn's attention was focused on Bingfeng Town, Long Hao's success in attacking Bingyan Town would be much greater.
On the fifth day.
The Snow Alliance appeared on the horizon of Icewind Town. An army of nearly 100,000 people was exhausted. They had not had enough to eat for a long time, and every one of them had little strength. However, in front of the town where they used to live, they regained their morale and were all ready to fight.
Zhang Mu slowly raised the Ice River Sword and stared at Bingfeng Town. The drums behind him were already beating.
This army of almost 100,000 people was gradually approaching the west gate of Bingfeng Town. Although they were several kilometers away, they could clearly see that the walls of Bingfeng Town were all densely packed with figures. I am afraid that the defense layout was extremely tight. The Snow Alliance army is already at a disadvantage and is on the siege side, making it even more difficult.
Lei Ming asked: "Do you want to attack?"
Zhang Mu nodded: "Of course we have to attack, even if it's just for show!"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and there was a sense of chilling in the air. Zhang Mu didn't know whether Vaughn had come in person, so he immediately sent out two scout bugs to explore the situation in the town first.
The reconnaissance bugs went to the sky above Bingfeng Town and used several reconnaissance techniques. A very shocking scene happened. The walls of Bingfeng Town were full of figures. A closer look revealed that they were all simple ice sculptures. They were not at all. Real person.
As for inside the city wall, it's even weirder.
The whole town was deserted, not a single ghost was seen.
The frost trolls have retreated!
Long Hao encountered a similar situation. The situation in the two towns was exactly the same. Except for collapsed buildings and ruins, there were not even half a living person in the entire town. Several large holes were blown out of the city wall. This was not caused by the Dawn attack, but by the Frost Giant. The devil deliberately destroys.
Vaughn clearly knew that the Snow Alliance was coming to attack, but he also withdrew the garrison in the town. Why is this
"attack!"
"Take the town!"
Zhang Mu can't take care of that much.
The Snow Alliance troops swarmed forward and poured into Icewind Town like a tide. The soldiers who thought they would encounter a big battle were dumbfounded as soon as they entered the city. In such a huge town, not even a single ghost was seen. Most of the buildings in the town were destroyed by the Frost Troll before leaving, plus the walls with holes on all sides. Vaughan left an abandoned city to the Snow Alliance. .
Long Hao on the other side sent a message, "We successfully took control of Bingyan Town. We checked the warehouse and found it was completely empty. There is no supplies left at all. It is basically an abandoned city. I don't know what the situation is like in Bingxue Town. I suggest you report to Bingxue Town right away. Investigate Ice and Snow Town!”
Lei Ming ran over with a few soldiers and said: "The warehouses, trading houses, taverns, and various shops have all been destroyed. We can't get anything."
"Weird!" The fat man scratched his head and said, "There's no reason why the frost trolls are afraid of us?"
"Of course it's not because of fear. Vaughn didn't attack us. It only shows one thing. He thinks there is something more valuable." Zhang Mu glanced in the direction of Ice and Snow Ridge. "If you guessed right, Vaughn followed us in a big circle. As a result, Now we go back and continue to attack the Ice and Snow Ridge!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
When Vaughn saw that the Snow Alliance had sent out a large army in an attempt to retake the town, he took advantage of his plan and gave up the town. Then he took the newly returned army to make a big circle and attack the Ice Ridge again
"This guy is really persistent!"
"what should we do?"
Zhang Mu helplessly shook his head: "Let someone inform Xue Ling that Ice and Snow Ridge is no longer safe, and the altar is no longer needed. Give up expanding the undead army and start moving. We must try to minimize the losses."
Stations and airports in towns are the strongest things and are not easily destroyed by violence. The frost troll left in a hurry and only destroyed the waiting hall, while the airport was preserved. This made Zhang Mu feel very pleased. Each airport was connected to several camps. Taking this opportunity, the Snow League could replenish food and supplies.
Zhang Mu didn't stay long in Bingfeng Town, and immediately led his people north to meet Long Hao in the direction of Bingxue Town.
Just as guessed.
There was no one in Ice and Snow Town for a long time.
Of course Long Hao also guessed what Vaughn was thinking, "This guy is so cunning!"
Who would have thought.
After suffering a defeat, Vaughan led the army to Luojiao Town, but he didn't rest for even a second. He immediately set off from one direction, directly went back to Zhang Mu's rear, and launched another attack on Bingxue Ridge. In Snow Town, with one hundred thousand relatively elite troops taken away, how could they still resist Vaughn's fierce attack
The altar must not be saved.
The Snow Alliance does not have enough energy, time, and resources to build another altar.
Army of the Undead has been discontinued!
…
When Zhang Mu and Long Hao appeared in the three towns, Vaughn, who was thousands of miles away, once again saw the ice and snow ridge, the rolling ice and snow ridge. A regular army of 60,000 frost trolls stood behind them, all ready for battle.
Vaughan's eyes flashed coldly.
Although Vaughan was defeated in the battle in the past few days, he did not lose his mind. He clearly understood the weakness of the Snow Alliance. They were too short of food. They got some food in this sneak attack, but it was far from enough to meet their needs. They will definitely launch a counterattack when their morale is high.
Vaughn did not give up his character easily, but deliberately made a retreat. Although he did not find any shadow of the Snow Alliance troops along the way, Vaughn guessed that they must be behind.
Vaughan and Zhang Mu played a hide-and-seek game, luring a large army from the Snow Alliance to leave. The Glacier City Army did not even have a foothold in the town. They immediately destroyed the city wall and destroyed various buildings. Two hours later, they set off from another direction and launched a new attack on Ice and Snow Ridge.
This time, the foundation of the Snow Alliance will be uprooted!
