The armies of other worlds like to fight stupidly, and conflicting lords will even agree on a time and place to have a playful fight. Unless there is a blood feud, the winner usually does not kill the opponent, but extorts a ransom.
After all, management capabilities are limited, and it would be impossible to rule if it requires too much territory and population.
Even Zhou Qingfeng's management of Hanfeng City has reached its limit. The tens of thousands of people in the city are enough to give him a headache, and there are hundreds of thousands of people outside the city who are in a state of autonomy.
Under this background, the generals in the North have almost never considered how to use detours, sneak attacks, night attacks and other tactics. They are famous generals if they can play the first-line push well.
The normal way of fighting a war is for military nobles to go into battle in person, assisted by their attendants. Bishop can command hundreds of knights and thousands of infantry, which means he is a general.
When he learned that Zhou Qingfeng was going to burn Bishop's logistics, Old Bank had to remind him: "Sir, Bishop's wizards have space rings and can carry supplies with them."
"Can you bring supplies for thousands of people?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"That's not possible. But it is still no problem to provide food and drink for hundreds of nobles for a day or two." Old Bank replied.
More than 400 nobles eat horse chews, which requires at least three or four tons of supplies in a day. Especially the appetite of horses is 'one is as good as five'. In battle, it is necessary to consume more feed, otherwise they will die after running for two days.
look.
Zhou Qingfeng's portable alchemy workshop is only four to five meters high after expansion, and the space of 150 square meters cannot supply the long-term needs of thousands of people.
Let alone anyone else.
Zhou Qingfeng's dozens of people maneuvered quickly, running more than 100 kilometers in a day, which is an incredible speed. Bishop's thousands of people could only move slowly to the foot of Hanfeng City, and it would take a week without incident.
With so many people acting collectively, they can drink the wells in small villages dry. They cannot gather in one or two villages and towns to camp, and must be dispersed in at least five or six villages and towns within two to three kilometers.
If three or four thousand people are cut off from supplies for just one day, it will cause huge panic.
This is also the reason why foreign wars are slow to mobilize and cannot last long. On bumpy roads, an old-fashioned carriage can make a creaking sound by transporting half a ton. It is too difficult to supply thousands of people to fight.
A group of noble knights from the Banshee Castle had already planned to enter the territory of Cold Wind City and start looting, so as to collect all supplies on the spot as much as possible.
As for how many villages and towns will be destroyed along the way, how many people will become refugees, and how much damage will be caused, no one except Zhou Qingfeng cares at all.
At present, Baron Bishop has just taken over the Town of Fog, and his men have not yet dispersed, and they still need to rely on Banshee Castle for logistics.
The load capacity of old-fashioned carriages is only one-quarter or even one-fifth of new-style carriages. In addition, the roads are not good, so the carriage cannot be fully loaded without overturning.
Cold Wind City can solve this problem with thirty carriages. Banshee Castle has two hundred carriages delivering supplies to the troops every day. Not only is the transportation consumption huge, there are too many targets on the road that can be attacked.
Utilizing the trade intelligence network that our own side has already established, Adrian's hunting team and Todd's orc guards can continuously intercept and kill enemy convoys on roads, villages and towns.
With the help of Old Bank, the chief prophecy, the small team can even be more elusive.
Zhou Qingfeng finally figured this out after reading the file. After silently reciting the 'Sixteen-Character Secret of Guerrilla Warfare' in his mind, he gave himself a slap in the face.
"Why do you have to show off your strength and go head-to-head when you obviously don't have enough strength? Taking advantage of your strong mobility and good mass base, you can completely kill Bishop's thousands of people and force him to retreat.
Alas... I have committed left-leaning adventurism, I am too dogmatic. I am an extreme leftist, an authentic extreme leftist! How could I have forgotten the ability of this dynasty to start a business?"
Thinking that he had wasted more than 10,000 coupons, Zhou Qingfeng wished he could reward himself a few more times.
The 'Joker' is not good at fighting regular battles, and most of the hunting teams are adventurers from the past. As for Todd, the orcs have night vision capabilities and are used to fighting in the wild. The logistics of arranging them to attack the enemy is definitely using their talents.
Bank Levin, this old scheming man, has relied on arcane magic to predict and calculate all his life and always take advantage. Unexpectedly, this time the boat capsized in the gutter and he met Victor Hugo, who was even more scheming than him.
Due to the rivalry between the sects, Old Bank was unable to cast teleportation arcana spells of the conjuration system.
The members of Adrian's hunting team are all veterans, and they will not let up when they keep a close eye on people. The prophecy wizard is not good at fighting, and there is no way that Old Bank can escape if he gets on the pirate ship.
Zhou Qingfeng rested for two hours in the village where he settled, then left at night with his most elite men, heading towards a noble manor outside Banshee Castle.
Old Bank was with Adrian and others, and also set out at night to attack a small town outside the city where military supplies were stored. He could only sigh repeatedly before setting off on the road, feeling that his fate was not under his control for the first time.
At this moment, Phils Longlegs was completely unaware of the danger. This ice-like man had been suffering a lot lately.
Oluel's temple in Cold Wind City was destroyed, and her divine power was damaged, which made her extremely angry but had nowhere to vent. The irrational Frost Girl took out her anger on her followers.
The howling cold wind blew in Phils' mind every day and night, and the ruthless Frost Goddess was inflicting punishment. Unless the culprit was executed, the punishment would not stop.
Phils was forced to have no choice. He devoted all the remaining strength of the Longlegs family to Bishop's army, hoping to complete his victory in one battle, avenge the goddess, and restore the glory of the family.
As for Victor Hugo, will he fight back?
Phils really didn't think about it. He took it for granted that his opponent should stay in the city and wait for the moment of destruction to come.
This is also the reason why Banshee Castle has raised thousands of infantry. The Butch family also feels that the final decisive battle must be to attack the city. Without receiving a personal critical attack, it is difficult to change the inertia of thinking.
Precisely because of Phil's desperate move, the Butch family was quite satisfied with him and allowed him to live in a manor outside the city.
There are more than a hundred people in the manor, but most of them are servants and slaves. Phils has sent out all the forces at hand, and there are only about a dozen family guards left around him, so he has to go out in person.
Bishop defeated the Lehman family's Fog Town, and the news was sent back to Banshee Castle by fast horse that day. Phils was very excited when he learned about the situation.
"Victor Hugo doesn't have much strength at all. He will definitely abandon the perimeter and choose to defend." Every day, Fiers calculated how many troops the enemy had that could be used to fight.
"Even if he is brave enough to go out and fight in the field, he will definitely not be Bishop's opponent."
"As long as that bastard holds on, I will be in an invincible position. The next step is how to deal with the demands of the Butch family." Phils was already thinking about what happened after the war and was worried about it.
This consideration is so far-fetched that it makes people relax their vigilance about the situation at hand.
Bank has been to Broken Bridge City as a special envoy for more than a week, and no news has been returned. Cold Wind City has also blocked information, and no one knows what Victor Hugo is doing.
Phils was meditating in the study when the attendant knocked on the door and came in, whispering: "Sir, a spy named Powell is back. He has brought the latest news about Cold Wind City."
"Oh...?" Phils was very happy, "Let him come to see me quickly. I want to know what Victor Hugo is doing? I hope that guy is waiting to die in panic!"
