Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

As the flying player suicide squads hired by the Condor Empire were all buried in the two towns, the war between the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom once again fell into a state of anxiety.

Although all the trebuchets in Taiping Town were destroyed in the last air raid, due to the overtime work of Sui Guangliang and others, Taiping Town finally succeeded in producing a batch of trebuchets before the Northern Expedition Allied Forces launched their attack. machine.

Relying on the newly manufactured trebuchets, the orc defenders in Taiping Town successfully withstood another massive attack by the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, allowing the enemy and us to return to the same starting line.

Facing the rebuilt Taiping Town, the Northern Expedition Alliance players headed by Lu Chenguang once again became helpless.

Feeling the terrifying and destructive power of the flying player suicide squads, they have never thought of hiring the flying player suicide squads again to attack Taiping Town.

But the same trick is ineffective against the Saints.

Although the Oishi Kingdom cannot be that Saint Seiya, the Condor Empire is even more difficult to deal with than the Saint Seiya.

As long as they let out the news that they want to hire player suicide squads, the Condor Empire will definitely follow up immediately.

They paid real money to hire the player suicide squads, while the Condor Empire only paid for the quota to enter the Hualong Pond.

If the two sides continue to offset each other like this, then the Northern Expedition Alliance, which spends real money every time, will definitely be the first to be unable to bear it, because the price paid by the Condor Empire can be regarded as a costless transaction. It cannot harm the foundation of the Condor Empire at all.

After considering that the cost was too high and the benefits were too small, Lu Chenguang could only reluctantly give up this method that Sun Junyi had finally come up with.

After being unable to use external forces to deal a fatal blow to the orc defenders of Taiping Town, Lu Chenguang could only command his troops to launch an attack on Taiping Town openly.

Every day, a trebuchet corps of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance would set off from Xiezhuang Village. Under the cover of their own heavy infantry corps, they would launch a stoning attack on Taiping Town.

Facing the trebuchet bombings of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, the orc defenders in Taiping Town did not show any weakness. They would use the trebuchets that Sui Guangliang and others worked overtime to build to fight back.

Since the heavy infantry legions of both forces are very powerful, whichever side initiates a melee battle will suffer more.

Therefore, both the enemy and ourselves unanimously chose to engage in a war of attrition dominated by trebuchet bombing.

Now there are no external forces involved. What the enemy and we are competing for is resilience and comprehensive national strength. It depends on which side can't hold on first.

Once the production speed of one party's trebuchets cannot keep up with the consumption speed, then as all the trebuchets are destroyed, the stalemate on the battlefield will be broken immediately.

Since he really couldn't think of any good ideas, Lu Chenguang had already made up his mind to use his powerful logistics and production capabilities to crush the Dashi Kingdom.

As long as the production speed of trebuchets in Taiping Town cannot keep up, the death of the orcs in Taiping Town will soon come.

Although Xiong Dashi had already seen the intentions of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, he had no choice at this moment.

Li Jian and others disappeared so suddenly that he was not mentally prepared at all.

Although Li Jian and others helped them burn a lot of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance's food and supplies before disappearing, those losses could not hurt the bones of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance, which had been well prepared.

So from a comprehensive perspective, the disappearance of Li Jian and others is still more beneficial to the Northern Expedition Allied Forces.

Because Xiong Dashi's side is not completely ready, and the losses suffered by the Northern Expeditionary Alliance will not affect their next attack.

Now, unless Xiong Dashi voluntarily abandons Taiping Town and retreats to the three iron triangle cities, he will have no choice but to accept the challenge of the Northern Expedition.

Taking the initiative to abandon Taiping Town will basically give the Dashi Kingdom no hope of turning defeat into victory. At that time, they can only passively defend.

Eating and waiting to die in the city.

Therefore, Xiong Dashi will never give up Taiping Town, an important defensive fortress, unless he has to. Even if he has to wipe out all the capital of the Dashi Kingdom, he will persist.

Because Xiong Dashi knew very well in his heart that with the huge ambition of the Condor Empire, Ning Yuan would not just watch the Dashi Kingdom be annexed by the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Although he refused the Condor Empire's military assistance, as long as the Condor Empire was willing, they still had a way to intervene in this war, because the beginning of this war was initiated by the Condor Empire.

Now that the Dashi Kingdom is under tremendous pressure and has attracted most of the main forces of the Northern Expedition, the Condor Empire will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack from other places.

So as long as he can persist, sooner or later the Northern Expeditionary Army will retreat one day, and maybe he can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack and regain the lost ground west of the Grand Canal.

...

Soon, the news that the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expeditionary Alliance were once again entering into a protracted war reached the ears of Ning Yuan in Nanzhang County.

When Ning Yuan learned that the two forces were engaged in trebuchet battles every day and had completely fallen into the quagmire of war, he immediately ordered the Monkey Legion to start implementing the plan to desolate Hubei.

At the same time, the five brothers of the Xiao family were responsible for the operation of uprooting the fortress cluster in the Lujiang area in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

As all the flying legions that traveled to and from the Sichuan Basin returned, the monkey legion that had been trapped in Nanzhang County for many days immediately showed off their sharp fangs.

Under the command of Ning Yuan, the 170,000 flying corps spread out in a fan shape. They were located in every place between Nanzhang County and the Han River, Xiangyang and Yicheng, monitoring every move of the local Xiao Li Tang army.

With the flying army escorting the monkey army, more than 300,000 monkeys rushed over the Wuqi Mountain and rushed into the product-rich plains.

It is June at this time, and the early rice grown in Hubei is about to enter the important stage of long panicle period.

Early rice is planted in May and harvested in July.

It seems that in another month, white rice will grow in the rice ears in the paddy fields, and every household will have a bumper harvest by then.

However, the arrival of the monkey army made all this come to nothing.

Both golden monkeys and macaques are omnivorous primates. They not only eat seeds and flowers of various plants, but also some nutritious leaves.

Especially the golden monkey, this kind of monkey not only looks cute and beautiful, but also never picky about food.

Golden monkeys always eat oranges and bananas with their skins and flesh together. It can be said that there is no waste at all. As long as they are green leaves, they will eat almost anything.

When these two kinds of monkeys entered the rice field from one side and left from the other side, only a few lonely rice stalks were left in the originally lush rice field, twisted in place, with leaves, ears of rice, and everything else. All went into the stomachs of those monkeys.

It only takes a few hundred monkeys to level an acre of rice fields in no time.

When more than 300,000 monkeys rushed out of Nanzhang County, the fields near Nanzhang County soon became barren.

When the monkeys were wreaking havoc in the fields, villagers who heard the news soon rushed towards the monkeys with shovels and hoes.

These villagers are the kind who cannot leave their hometown. Even though Simone and others who left Nanzhang County had informed them in advance that a disaster was coming, they still stayed without hesitation.

As the saying goes, a dog relies on human power, while a fox pretends to be a tiger.

In the past, when faced with humans who were significantly larger than them, monkeys would generally choose to actively avoid them and stay away from them. They would not easily conflict with humans.

However, at this moment, the monkeys' biggest supporter, Ningyuan, was right above their heads. With Ningyuan supporting them, they were not afraid of the dozens of villagers holding hoes.

After seeing the villagers rushing toward them, the dozen or so leading male monkeys immediately sounded the alarm that the enemy was approaching, and began to summon their male monkeys to prepare to meet the enemy.

While the female monkeys were retreating to a safe place with their little monkeys, hundreds of large male monkeys gathered together immediately launched an attack on the dozens of invading villagers.

With their agile skills, the big male monkeys successfully avoided the hoes swung by the villagers, and then took advantage of the villagers' immunity to hit the villagers' bodies with a heavy kick.

The big male monkey's body is covered with muscles, and the explosive power of its full blow is no less than that of an adult.

Although humans have an absolute advantage in size, ordinary people without special training simply cannot compete with those big male monkeys in terms of agility.

When the big male monkeys discovered that the clumsy villagers could not pose any threat to them, they immediately became ferocious and pounced on the villagers in groups.

Soon, the bodies of every villager were covered with ferocious male monkeys.

Being overwhelmed by the monkeys often has only one outcome, either death or disability.

In modern society, some people once angered a group of monkeys in a scenic spot, and were directly attacked by dozens of monkeys.

The person who was attacked was seriously injured in the end. If someone hadn't dispersed the monkey group in time, I'm afraid he would never see the sun again the next day.

There were many female monkeys in the group of monkeys that attacked the tourist. Female monkeys did not have sharp canine teeth, which was also an important reason why the tourist survived in the end.

At this moment, those who attacked the villagers were all big male monkeys. Each big male monkey had four sharp canine teeth.

Their canine teeth can easily tear apart the fur of other animals. For humans whose skin is relatively thin, their canine teeth are even more lethal.

Following a burst of shrill screams, the villagers who were overwhelmed by the monkeys soon became silent again.

After seeing the monkeys being so violent, the villagers who arrived later immediately turned around and ran away.

Facing the black crowd of monkeys, they could no longer care about the crops in the fields. At this time, nothing was more important than saving their lives.

The above scene occurred near many villages that were attacked by monkeys.

There are many dogs in some villages, so the villagers take the dogs who look after the homes to drive away the monkeys.

After seeing this scene, Ning Yuan, who was in the sky, laughed directly because he had already guessed what would happen next.

Monkeys are naturally afraid of dogs, but after Ningyuan arranged special training for them, the more than 300,000 monkeys are no longer afraid of dogs that are about the same size as them.

After discovering that there were not many villagers and dogs, a group of big male monkeys rushed over arrogantly.

Although dogs are very loyal to their owners, loyalty does not improve their strength, so facing the surging monkeys, they can only accompany their owners to hell.

In order to train the monkey group's ability to fight alone, Ning Yuan did not let the Silver Pegasus knights around him intervene in the war between the monkey group and the villagers.

Unless a villager appears with a sword or other weapons that can kill monkeys, Ning Yuan will ask the Silver Pegasus knights to intervene. Otherwise, he will just act as a spectator in the sky, watching the performance of the monkeys.

The greatest advantage of human beings is to know the current affairs.

After discovering that the monkeys were too violent and invincible, and that there was a group of escorting Silver Pegasus knights above their heads, the remaining villagers immediately returned home.

After hurriedly packing up their little belongings, they picked up their bags full of rice and started migrating eastward with their families.

At this time, many villagers regretted their actions. If they had listened to Simone's advice, they would not be in this situation now.

Seeing that many villages were starting to empty out of their houses, Ning Yuan, who was riding on the Silver Pegasus, began to smile proudly.

In Ning Yuan's view, no propaganda is more convincing than the personal statements of these villagers.

These villagers who have left their homes will spread the news about the appearance of the monkey army in Hubei to every corner they pass.

With their personal statements, coupled with the previous publicity by Simone and others, Ning Yuan believed that there would soon be a large-scale refugee wave here.

Once the flow of refugees begins, it will be difficult to suppress it.

Because Li Yufeng, who is the local leader here, simply cannot destroy the 300,000 monkeys under Ning Yuan.

As long as the Monkey Army exists for one day, the people in Hubei will not believe anything Li Yufeng says.

Because they cannot get rid of those pesky monkeys for one day, they will not be able to return home and resume production for one day.

Ning Yuan's plan for desolate Hubei has successfully taken the first step, and all he needs to do next is to move forward steadily.

As long as he doesn't give Li Yufeng's troops any chance to get close to the Monkey Legion, he will basically be invincible in this special war.
