Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

The two towns east of Colorful Bridge are right next to Dadingzi Mountain and Taohua Mountain. There are not only trees on the mountains that can be used to make trebuchets, but also inexhaustible stones.

As long as Lu Chenguang mobilizes a team of craftsmen, he can immediately make trebuchets and various specifications of stone bullets in the two towns.

Everything on the mountain is ready-made, they just need to put in the effort and some time, so the attack plan proposed by Sun Junyi directly entered Lu Chenguang's heart.

After asking other people and finding that they didn't have any good suggestions, Lu Chenguang directly chose the offensive plan proposed by Sun Junyi.

While he sent people to mobilize more craftsmen, he continued to increase troops to Luqiao Town, preparing to fight a long-lasting war of attrition with the Dashi Kingdom.

...

"Your Majesty, the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expeditionary Alliance are currently facing off in the Taiping Town area on the east coast of Dushan Lake. Both sides have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and countless supplies of food and grass there. It seems that they want to fight. A protracted battle, one battle will determine the outcome.”

In Taiping Town, although the Northern Expeditionary Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom have not yet completely fought, they are both on a one-way street and no one can withdraw. This war is destined to be inevitable.

When Ning Yuan, who was in Nanzhang County, learned about the latest information, he let out a long sigh of relief.

During the days when the Northern Expeditionary Alliance was at war with the Dashi Kingdom, Ning Yuan was suffering a lot.

In order to cooperate with the five Xiao brothers' strategy on the east line of the Yangtze River, Ningyuan has been keeping 300,000 monkeys firmly in the narrow valley of Nanzhang County.

Although the bad-tempered macaques have restrained themselves a lot after the last killing of monkeys to establish their authority, monkeys are monkeys after all, and after eating and drinking enough, they simply cannot stay idle.

Driven by strong curiosity, the monkeys who have learned how to act like a fox and a tiger are very interested in everything in the valley.

They often run around in the valley with their families, and when they find something interesting, they will shout and the whole family will rush forward, and then a lot of furry palms and soles will rush over.

Everyone in the valley knew that these monkeys were the darlings of His Majesty. They could not go directly to Ningyuan to complain just because they were harassed by the monkeys. Therefore, as long as the harassment by the monkeys was not too excessive, they all chose to temporarily endure.

Monkeys are creatures that push their noses and faces. They are just like four or five-year-old human children, with no sense of right and wrong.

When the soldiers of the Condor Empire in the valley chose not to be familiar with them, the monkeys naively thought that they were right to do so, and then they intensified their actions.

As a result, the entire valley in Nanzhang County was full of arrogant monkeys. Except for the courtyard where Ningyuan lived, they went wherever they wanted in the entire valley, just like a group of dandy boys who were causing harm to the village. People dare to provoke.

Ning Yuan also knew that monkeys were active by nature, and it was impossible for him to draw a barrier to keep them in one place for a long time without moving.

So as long as the monkeys didn't cause any big trouble for him, he would simply turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't see anything.

Originally, Ning Yuan could accept it if they kept waiting like this, but as time passed, they soon encountered new troubles.

Although Ning Yuan led the Divine Eagle Army to seize a large amount of food and supplies in Nanzhang County and Baokang County, the food consumed by the 170,000 flying corps and 300,000 monkeys every day was an astronomical figure.

Every extra day they wait in Nanzhang County, the food in the granary will drop a lot. If the Northern Expeditionary Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom continue to be there, I am afraid they will be unable to bear it first.

After Ning Yuan personally changed the strategy, he and the five brothers of the Xiao family all had to wait until the battle in the East Henan Plain reached a fever pitch before they could take action. Otherwise, it would probably give the Northern Expedition Alliance a chance to withdraw in time.

So they must continue to wait until no one can escape easily on the eastern Henan Plain.

In order to alleviate the possible food crisis, Ning Yuan simply divided the flying legion into three parts.

Every day, a flying regiment flies over Daba Mountain and back to the Sichuan Basin to replenish food. They will spend the night in the Sichuan Basin, and after having breakfast the next day, they return to Nanzhang County carrying small bags containing rice and noodles.

Although the weight of supplies that the flying corps can carry is very limited, their operations to and from the Sichuan Basin can save Nanzhang County a lot of food and allow the 300,000 monkeys in Nanzhang County to persist for a longer period of time.

Food in Nanzhang County has been saved, but food in the Sichuan Basin is being consumed rapidly, and more than usual. Because they fly back and forth every day, the soldiers consume a lot of food, and then they eat naturally. Just more than usual.

Ning Yuan also knew that doing so would not only greatly consume the flying legion's physical strength, but also waste more food, but in order to wait, he seemed to have no choice.

Looking at the tired faces of the flying legion soldiers, Ning Yuan was suffering every day. Fortunately, Huangtian paid off and they finally no longer had to do this useless task of flying back and forth over the mountains.

The latest news that the Seraph scouts brought back to Ning Yuan really made him very excited. He was almost depressed waiting for the news.

After taking a deep breath and calming down his excitement, Ning Yuan asked calmly: "Is the Dashi Kingdom in full force this time?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Dashi Kingdom has transferred almost all the adult men in the country to the front line this time, and then deployed most of the main army around Taiping Town.

Now there are basically no decent armies in the area east of Taishan in the Dashi Kingdom. There are child soldiers and temporary patrols composed of orc women everywhere. "

"What about the Northern Expedition Alliance? Are they also coming out in full force?"

After getting the answer he wanted to hear, Ning Yuan continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, most of the troops from the Northern Expedition Alliance are still on the west bank of the Grand Canal. Because the Dashi Kingdom troops in the cities of Heze and Dongming are still holding on, most of the infantry from the Northern Expedition Alliance are surrounding these cities. .

Although the Northern Expedition Alliance did not mobilize those ordinary legions, they did mobilize all their elite legions to the west bank of Nanyang Lake. Now there are more than 200,000 elite legions passing through the Colorful Rainbow Bridge to the east bank.

Currently, the 200,000 elites of the Northern Expedition Alliance are confronting the Dashi Kingdom in the southwest of Taiping Town. It has been several days, and neither of them has the intention to take action.

The Dashi Kingdom seems to have made up its mind to defend Taiping Town. If the enemy does not attack, they will remain silent.

The Northern Expeditionary Allied Forces don't seem to be very anxious. They are delivering various supplies to the frontline areas every day.

By the way, Your Majesty, the day before I set off, the Northern Expeditionary Army suddenly sent tens of thousands of people into the mountains to cut down trees and mine stones.

All the cut trees and stones were transported to Luqiao Town, which was now filled with wood and stones. "

The Seraph scout introduced Ning Yuan to Ning Yuan in detail about the situation of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, and also informed Ning Yuan of some new discoveries.

Hearing that the Northern Expeditionary Alliance was cutting down trees and mining stones on a large scale, Ning Yuan was suddenly shocked, and he thought of a very bad possibility.

If the Northern Expeditionary Army was simply cutting down trees, then they most likely wanted to use the wood to build camps and have a better confrontation with the Dashi Kingdom.

But now they are not only cutting down trees, but also mining a large amount of stones. There is almost only one possibility, that is, the Northern Expedition Alliance wants to make trebuchets on site in Luqiao Town, and then use the trebuchets to bombard the Dashi Kingdom guards. Taiping Town.

Ning Yuan knew the Dashi Kingdom very well.

The Great Stone Kingdom is famous for its orc ground legions that are good at fighting, the most famous of which are the Ursine Hoplite Legion and the Wolf Cavalry Legion.

Now, Lang Xiaotian has kidnapped more than half of the Bearman heavy infantry and all the Wolf Cavalry in the Dashi Kingdom. Now only the 60,000-strong Bear Guard Corps and some others are left in the Dashi Kingdom. Werewolf Infantry Legion.

Almost all of the cavalry crossbows provided by the Condor Empire to the Dashi Kingdom were wolf cavalry. After losing those cavalry crossbows, the Dashi Kingdom's long-range attack capabilities were basically zero, and they could only engage in close combat with the enemy.

The current Dashi Kingdom is like a high school student who is seriously partial to science. They have outstanding melee combat abilities but almost no long-range attack methods.

If they are on the offensive side, then their shortcoming is not particularly obvious.

But as a defensive side, without long-range attack methods, they can only be led away by enemies with long-range attack methods.

Long-range attack is a very important way to kill enemies when defending. If you don't have long-range attack ability but you still have to defend a certain place, you are definitely standing there as a living target for the enemy, allowing the enemy to take whatever they want.

Because the Ursine heavy infantry are not invincible, they can withstand attacks from long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, but they cannot withstand the boulders thrown by trebuchets.

Once hit by a boulder, no matter how thick-skinned or thick-skinned they are, they will be smashed into a puddle of mud.

Therefore, if the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expeditionary Alliance were to continue fighting step by step, the troops that the Dashi Kingdom had finally gathered would sooner or later be exhausted by the Northern Expeditionary Alliance.

Although Ning Yuan has given up on the Dashi Kingdom, what he wants to see is a fight between the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expedition Alliance, with both sides losing, instead of seeing the Dashi Kingdom being unilaterally crushed by the Northern Expedition Alliance.

So after guessing that the Northern Expeditionary Alliance was rushing to manufacture a large number of trebuchets and wanted to use the trebuchets to kill the main army of the Dashi Kingdom in Taiping Town, Ning Yuan knew that he had to intervene immediately.

Otherwise, once the remaining Ursine Guards of the Dashi Kingdom are wiped out by the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, the Dashi Kingdom will no longer be able to stop the advancement of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance.

If that time really comes, the Condor Army, which has been sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers, will not come to clean up the mess, but will have a head-on showdown with the Northern Expedition Allied Forces with high morale.

So how should I intervene in this war?

Now that Xiong Dashi has mobilized all the orc troops east of Mount Tai, he is obviously determined not to take advantage of the situation.

Before, Xiong Dashi had rejected the request of the Condor Army to enter the Dashi Kingdom to help them fight, so would he refuse the Condor Army's request to enter the Dashi Kingdom to fight now?

After a detailed analysis of Xiong Dashi's character, Ning Yuan shook his head helplessly, already having a clear answer in his heart.

Xiong Dashi is now a powder keg that may explode at any time. Since he refused the Condor Army's request for coordinated operations before without hesitation, he still will not agree to let the Condor Army enter the country now. Combat.

Because it is easier to invite gods than to send them away, once the Divine Eagle Army enters the Dashi Kingdom on a large scale, it will not be so easy to get them out. After all, Ning Yuan is not a living person, and he cannot let the soldiers of the Divine Eagle Army go to waste. The people involved shed blood and died.

It is very likely that as soon as the Northern Expeditionary Alliance was defeated, the Condor Army turned back and replaced Xiong Dashi, turning the Dashi Kingdom into a county of the Condor Empire.

In fact, Ning Yuan has always thought this way, but it's a pity that Xiong Dashi didn't give him such a chance at all.

Now the entire hinterland of the Dashu Kingdom is very empty. As long as Ning Yuan wants to, the ready-to-go Condor Army can immediately occupy most of the Dashu Kingdom.

However, if Ning Yuan really did this, Xiong Dashi, who was so angry, would probably throw himself directly into the arms of the Northern Expedition Alliance and fight against the Condor Army with the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Therefore, Ning Yuan did not want to use such radical means to provoke Xiong Dashi unless he had to, because Xiong Dashi's influence in the entire Shandong region was too great. As long as he stood up and raised his arms, countless orcs would gather there. under his command.

The Condor Army cannot personally intervene, so if they want to help the army of the Dashi Kingdom deal with the trebuchet bombing tactics of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, it seems that the only way left is to provide support from the Craftsman Corps.

However, if Ning Yuan really sends a team of craftsmen to help Dashi Kingdom make trebuchets on site, then given Xiong Dashi's thirst for skilled craftsmen, the fate of this team of craftsmen is likely to be that meat buns will never come back.

Every craftsman group that can skillfully build various siege equipment is also very valuable to the Condor Empire, so Ning Yuan just thought about it and then immediately rejected the idea.

Xiong Dashi would not agree to directly send troops to join the war, but he was reluctant to send a group of craftsmen to support Ning Yuan. Furthermore, Ning Yuan did not want to watch the Dashi Kingdom being tactically crushed by the Northern Expeditionary Alliance. For a moment, he was so embarrassed that he almost frowned. Went together.

Just when Ning Yuan was troubled by this problem and frowned, a big male monkey with a bare head swayed past on the big tree outside the courtyard wall.

After seeing the big male monkey, Ning Yuan suddenly laughed happily. At that moment, he finally thought of how to support Xiong Dashi.
