Although Li Yufeng is still not very harmonious with the major guilds in Huaxia represented by Ye Ziqing and others after joining the Northern Expedition Alliance, even if the contradiction between them is big, he also understands the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Once the Henan region guarded by Ye Ziqing and others is completely fallen, then he and Zhao Guangfu's Hubei will face the troops of the Condor Army.

Therefore, before the threat of the Condor Empire is completely resolved, it is impossible for him to turn against Ye Ziqing and the others.

He is now a member of the Northern Expedition Alliance, and he has a relationship of both glory and loss with Ye Ziqing and others, so when facing the Condor Empire, not only will he not turn his face against Ye Ziqing and others, but on the contrary, he will work hard to maintain the interests of the entire Northern Expedition Alliance.

Now Ye Ziqing and others are all on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and only Shui Ruyan is left alone in the Henan nest.

Although Shui Ruyan's Shuiyun Pavilion is also one of the top ten guilds in Huaxia District, as the president of Shuiyun Pavilion, she also has excellent leadership skills.

But after all, she is only a woman, and when it comes to marching and fighting, she is still much inferior to Dongfang Ming and others.

Sometimes the situation on the battlefield is so fast-changing that the supreme commander in charge of the three armed forces is likely to miss the best fighter plane and cause incalculable losses.

Li Yufeng was worried that Shui Ruyan would have a hard time facing the battle-hardened Condor Army, so he had to analyze the real main attack point of the Condor Army this time, and only by understanding the true intentions of the Condor Army could they make the most correct response.

With the current national strength of the Condor Army, they could not maintain a multi-million army on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau while launching an all-out attack on Hubei and Henan.

Therefore, their real main attack direction should only be one way, and the attacks in other places are all feints, in order to distract their own attention and cover the real main attack point along the way.

After eliminating the Condor Army on the two roads of Hangu Pass and Shangnan County, according to the current performance of the Condor Army, the most likely thing for them to attack was the Hubei region defended by themselves and Zhao Guangfu.

Whether it was the Condor Navy that forcibly landed on the north shore of Yichang, or the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan himself, no matter how Li Yufeng looked at it, he felt that Ning Yuan really wanted to take the entire Hubei region in one go this time.

However, when he learned that the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan had not captured the town of Transition Bay in the northern part of Baokang County, he always had a strange feeling in his heart, as if the Condor Army had deliberately failed to capture it.

The Condor Army had been planning secretly for so long, so it was absolutely impossible for them not to know the importance of Transition Bay Town, a transportation hub connecting Zhuxi County with the Hubei Plain.

As long as the Condor Army captures Transition Bay Town, then the troops of the Northern Expedition Alliance stationed in Zhuxi County, Zhushan County, and Fang County will immediately become the turtle in the urn.

After being cut off from logistical supply lines, the troops stationed in those three counties would soon be in danger of running out of food.

If the Northern Expeditionary Alliance is unable to recapture the town of Transition Bay in a short period of time, then the Northern Expeditionary Alliance troops stationed in those three counties will definitely be self-defeating.

After losing the elite troops of those three counties, their side was definitely injured, and when the time came for the Condor Army that invaded the Hubei Plain region, they could only retreat in the city for passive defense.

Transition Bay Town is definitely a lifeline for the Northern Expeditionary Alliance's army stationed in Hubei.

So Li Yufeng really couldn't figure out why Ning Yuan would lead the main force of the Condor Air Force to attack the relatively less important Nanzhang County.

As for the more important town of Transition Bay, he sent only a small Condor air force, and after the failure of the first attack, he simply abandoned the next attack there.

As long as a player with a little brain can see how important it is in Transition Bay Town, Ning Yuan has been fighting in the south and north for so long, even if he is simple-minded, he should not be unable to see it, not to mention that he still has so many aboriginal think tanks and player think tanks under his hands.

Ning Yuan alone couldn't imagine that there was a slight possibility, but it was absolutely impossible for so many people to think of it.

Therefore, Li Yufeng always felt that the Condor Army did not capture Transition Bay Town, and there must be some conspiracy here.

If it were combined with the Dashi Kingdom's side of sending an army of 200,000 elite orcs to attack the Henan region on a large scale, then it was likely that this Transitional Bay Town was deliberately left behind by Ning Yuan in order to deliberately confuse his sight.

Although the 200,000 army is not a lot, the 200,000 elite orc army of the Great Stone Kingdom is no joke.

If their side is not able to resist those elite orc armies head-on, then the army of 200,000 orcs will be enough to turn the entire Henan region upside down.

The reason why they were able to defeat the orc army of the Great Stone Kingdom last time was mainly because they took advantage of the weakness of the opponent's paralysis and carelessness, and separated the opponent's wolf cavalry legion and bear man heavy infantry legion.

Then, with the heavy cavalry army that he put together and the Divine Arm Bow that was extremely lethal to light armor, he inflicted heavy damage on the enemy's wolf cavalry legion.

After suffering a big loss last time, the Dashi Kingdom will definitely not give its own side a chance to break through this time, so compared to the Condor Army, which has many soldiers, Li Yufeng still thinks that the 200,000 elite orc army of the Dashi Kingdom is more difficult to gnaw.

Even if Ning Yuan was now leading more than 100,000 Condor Air Force to be stationed in Nanzhang County, not far from Xiangyang, and the Mermaid Legion of the Condor Army had successfully landed on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the Yichang section, Li Yufeng still had a feeling.

That is, all the military operations launched by the Condor Army are actually feints, and its purpose is to contain as many of their own troops as possible and cover for the 200,000 elite orc army of the Dashi Kingdom, that is, the orc army of the Dashi Kingdom is the real main attacking army this time.

On the surface, there were only a few bandit cavalry on the side of the orc army of the Great Stone Kingdom, and it should be the least powerful way.

On the Hubei side, the Condor Army is a joint force of water, land and air forces, showing great determination, and the scale of the army dispatched is also the largest.

However, if we carefully analyze the topography of the two regions, it is not difficult to find that it is much more difficult to capture Hubei than Henan.

The western side of the Hubei region is surrounded by tall mountain ranges, and except for the flying legion, the other armies can basically only look at the mountains and sigh.

The plains of Hubei are densely populated with waterways and rivers and lakes, making them very unfriendly to the armies accustomed to fighting in the north.

Now that the rainy season in Hubei is approaching, many low-lying areas will turn into an ocean, and the troops coming from the north will be even more difficult to move.

Although the Condor Army has a mermaid army that can fight in the water, the mermaid army's ability to attack fortifications is limited, and it is impossible for them to break through some of their own strong cities by relying on the mermaid army alone.

As for those dragon warriors who were hidden by Ning Yuanxue, their ability to travel clouds and spread rain was definitely nothing in the rainy season in Hubei.

All the cities in Hubei were built in relatively high areas that could not be reached by floods, and each city had an excellent drainage system.

Those cities were not even afraid of heavy rainstorms that could rain for several days and nights in a row, not to mention the dragon warriors' ability to travel clouds and spread rain, which was obviously much inferior.

Coupled with the rainy weather and dense rivers in Hubei, the Han River, which divides the Han River Plain from north to south, the Dahong Mountain in the middle of the Han River Plain, and the low mountains and hills in northeastern Hubei in the east of Hubei, it is not realistic for the Condor Army to capture Hubei during the rainy summer season.

Back then, Yu Ban led a large army to support Cao Ren, but it was because of the overflow of the Han River that he was trapped on the high ground by the flood, so he would give Guan Yu the opportunity to defeat him.

I heard that Ning Yuan is an out-and-out fan of the Three Kingdoms, and his idol is Boss Cao, it stands to reason that he shouldn't know how terrible the summer floods in Hubei are, isn't he afraid that he will fight to defeat both sides, dig up the river embankment and give him a flooded Seventh Army?

No matter how you analyze it, summer is not a good season to attack Hubei, if Ning Yuan really wants to attack Hubei, then he should choose to attack in winter.

Because the temperature in Hubei is not very low in winter, and there is not a lot of rain, it is very suitable for marching and fighting in this season.

The Henan region, which borders Hubei, is the opposite.

Except for the mountainous area to the west of Zhengzhou and the Nanyang Basin, most of the eastern part of Henan is a flat plain.

The orc army of the Dashi Kingdom attacked from the east, and before reaching Zhengzhou, they were facing an endless plain, and the Northern Expedition Alliance had no danger to defend there except for the city.

Although Henan is about to enter the rainy season, there is still a certain gap between the rainy season there and Hubei.

And the orcs have always been known for their ability to endure hardships, as long as the river does not overflow, then some rain cannot stop their progress, and the rainy night raid is the best attack method for the orc army.

In the face of the 200,000 orc army that invaded the Henan region, if the army stationed there of the Northern Expedition Alliance could not resist the attack of the orcs in the field, then they could only choose to retreat into the cities to defend to the death.

Although in the battle to defend the city, the army of the Northern Expedition Alliance can use the advantage of the city wall to consume a large amount of the living force of the orc army, if the orc army chooses to besiege and not attack, then once the grain and grass stored in the city are exhausted, the Northern Expedition Alliance army in the city can only take the initiative to kill it.

In this way, although they delayed for a long time, it was still difficult for them to escape the result of the annihilation of the entire army in the end, which was also extremely unfavorable to the Northern Expedition Alliance, whose territory was getting smaller and smaller.

The cultivated land area of Henan ranks second in China, and it is one of the important grain producing areas in China and one of the important grain producing areas of the Northern Expedition Alliance.

After losing Anhui and Jiangsu, the Northern Expedition Alliance only left Henan and Hubei north of the Yangtze River, and if the eastern Henan Plain in the east of Henan was lost, it would be impossible for them to support themselves for too long in the face of the onslaught of the Condor Empire.

Therefore, the real intention of the Condor Army this time is likely to take advantage of the absence of the main force of the player army of the Northern Expedition Alliance to attack the East Henan Plain in eastern Henan with all its might.

Even if they can't capture the East Henan Plain in a short time, as long as the entire East Henan Plain is plunged into war, then their goal can be achieved.

Because the Northern Expedition Alliance must not lose the East Henan Plain, an important production area, they are now in urgent need of this year's grain output in the East Henan Plain.

Once the eastern Henan Plain is out of production this year, then after the Yangtze River waterway is cut off by the Condor Army, they will definitely not be able to feed those armies in Henan and Hubei, close to the Hubei region.

Therefore, all the offensives launched by the Condor Army this time are likely to be fake, and their purpose is to contain the armies of the Northern Expedition Alliance in various places, and their real purpose is only one, that is, to occupy the Eastern Henan Plain, or to make the Eastern Henan Plain extinct this year.

And what those bandit cavalry from the Anhui region are doing now is further proof of this.

They neither fought head-on with the armies of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, nor did they conquer cities, and their purpose was very clear from the beginning, that is, to grab people, livestock, food, everything that could be taken away.

Now, because of their looting, many villages and towns in the southern part of the eastern Henan Plain are empty, and there are broken walls that have been burned into ruins.

Now those places are not inhabited, not to mention that there are few wild cats and dogs.

If those robber cavalry are allowed to continue to be so unscrupulous, then it is estimated that it will not be long before the entire eastern Henan Plain will be ruined by them.

Judging from the performance of Shui Ruyan and others sitting in Zhengzhou, they don't seem to be aware of the terrible destructive power of those robber cavalry, or they are aware of it but have no heart.

Because in the face of the attack of the 200,000 elite orc army in the Big Stone Kingdom, they simply couldn't divide many mobile cavalry to deal with those difficult bandit cavalry.

There are fewer cavalry factions that go to suppress bandits, and they are likely to be eaten by those robber cavalry.

If there were too many cavalry, the robber cavalry would probably scatter and not give them a chance to fight head-on.

When facing the strong pressure brought by the orc army, it was impossible for those cavalry under Shui Ruyan to stay in the southern region of the Eastern Henan Plain for a long time and play a game of hide and seek with those robber cavalry.

Therefore, they could only watch as the robber cavalry unscrupulously stirred up waves on the eastern Henan Plain, which eventually led to the displacement of the people there and became refugees.

If we want to avoid this kind of situation, which is extremely unfavorable to the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, then it is necessary to have a cavalry stationed in the southern part of the eastern Henan Plain to prevent those robber cavalry from harassing and destroying.

Only in this way can they completely crack the earth-shattering conspiracy of the Condor Empire.

Thinking of this, Li Yufeng's eyes gradually became sharp, and he already had a decision in his heart.
