Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

As the Condor Army in Myanmar began to gradually retreat towards Daluo Town, the Toungoo Kingdom and Myanmar players, who had gained a breather, began to gradually regain the initiative in the war.

Just when people thought that the Divine Eagle Army would soon set off a new round of war storm in China, the Divine Eagle Army suddenly ceased its activities.

In the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau theater, the Condor Army changed its previous aggressive attitude and began to shrink its defense across the board.

In the Yangtze River Basin, the Shenying Army also suspended its previous siege of cities and began to build fortifications in situ. It seems that it also wants to defend in situ.

This series of actions by the Condor Army has left many players who like to analyze at a loss. They can't figure out what the Condor Army wants to do.

Regarding the sudden change in the strategic policy of the Condor Army, the Chinese player forces were happy to see the result, because after the Condor Army suspended their offensive, they could finally take a good breather.

However, foreign players have shown great concern about this, especially those countries adjacent to the Condor Empire.

Many foreign players are worried that this is Ning Yuan secretly deploying troops and punishing generals, preparing to kill chickens and scare other countries that have not yet chosen to surrender and pay tribute.

There is no telling when the Condor Empire will suddenly send troops to attack a country that has not surrendered and paid tribute to it.

Although the probability of this possibility happening is not very high, they still have to guard against it.

As a result, several small countries that were still in a wait-and-see attitude finally couldn't bear this invisible pressure, and successively sent missions to the Condor Empire to pay tribute to the Condor Empire.

The attitude of the Condor Empire seemed very lazy.

If you come and pay tribute to me, I will gladly accept it.

If you don't come, then I will pretend that I didn't see anything and continue to pretend to be dead.

The Condor Empire actively chose to play dead, and players from other countries had no choice but to adapt accordingly.

Countries that believe they have the strength to resist the attack of the Condor Empire continue to build various fortifications in border areas to prevent war from suddenly coming to them.

Countries that think they cannot withstand the attack of the Condor Empire will either look for allies to form alliances and joint defense, or prepare some tributes and directly rely on compromises to gain security for a certain period of time.

...

With the coming of winter,

There have been several heavy snowfalls in northern China, the temperature has continued to drop, and the Yellow River has begun to freeze.

January 11, 1934.

The lowest daytime temperature on this day reached minus 25 degrees Celsius, and goose-feather-like snow flakes fell throughout Henan and Shandong.

It snowed heavily all day long, and the deepest part of the snow outside was already as high as a person.

In this extremely bad weather, few people choose to go out. People usually like to sit around the warm stove and chat.

He eats when he is hungry, drinks when he is thirsty, sleeps when he is sleepy, and continues to chat when he wakes up. He will never leave the house unless absolutely necessary.

This is the daily life of ordinary people in the north in winter. People call this kind of life Cat Winter.

Logically speaking, in extremely bad weather like today, there shouldn't be many people outside. It would be difficult for the flying race to get into the air, and it would be difficult for the army to march, let alone fight.

However, in the afternoon, two special armies appeared outside Hengshui City.

The soldiers of an army were all tall and tall, wearing simple leather armor, holding a huge tower shield in their left hand, and a terrifying huge mace in their right hand.

Their appearance is almost exactly the same as the bear warriors that players usually see. The only difference is that the hair on the bear warriors that players see is gray-black, while the hair on their bodies is all pure white.

This orc army is a close relative of the Bear Tribe. The White Bear Tribe living in the polar regions is often called the Polar Bear Tribe.

The other army is composed of two races.

They are Druid warriors wrapped in thick leather coats and the naive silver-gray Baikal seals.

After living in the polar regions for a long time, the polar bear people and Baikal seals have long been accustomed to cold weather.

Today's temperatures in the Yellow River region pale into insignificance compared with Lake Baikal and the polar regions further north.

Therefore, the low temperature and heavy snow in the Hengshui area are nothing to the polar bear human warriors and Baikal seals.

No, heaven would be more appropriate to describe it.

In summer, when these two armies come to the Yellow River Basin, they will be acclimatized due to the high temperature.

In the cold winter, these two legions will be at home once they come here.

For this kind of legion linked to the seasons, Ning Yuan gave them a very appropriate name: seasonal legion.

The reason why Ning Yuan had not taken any action in the past two months was to wait for the arrival of these two legions.

Heavy snow and low temperatures are undoubtedly essential conditions for the arrival of these two legions.

Ningyuan has been waiting for today's heavy snowfall for more than two months.

Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Ning Yuan estimated that the temperature in the Yellow River area would drop sharply after the snow stopped, so he did not wait for the snow to stop and directly sent the two legions to teleport over despite the heavy snow.

One hundred thousand polar bear warriors, ten thousand raptor druids and two hundred thousand Baikal seals are all the two legions.

While the soldiers of these two legions were still coming out of the teleportation array one after another, the druids who had teleported over earlier had already begun to direct the Baikal seals to build an ice and snow slide southward to Texas.

As the Baikal seals continued to exhale and turned into ice, large areas of snow were frozen, and soon an ice and snow road extending southward began to take shape.

Although Baikal seals usually walk clumsily, their speed when gliding on the ice is not slow at all.

As more and more Baikal seals happily slid and exhaled on the ice, this ice and snow road immediately extended southward at an incredible speed.

The first people to set foot on this ice and snow passage were the druids and their pet Belgar seal.

After all the Baikal seals stepped onto the ice and snow passage and headed south, under the order of a tall and muscular polar bear warrior, the polar bear warriors immediately placed their shields on the ice, and then used their shields to For the ice car, slide all the way south along the ice.

In the evening, the ice and snow road of Berga Seal reached Texas City.

After successfully arriving in Texas City, the Baikal seals, under the command of the Druid, immediately built huge igloos in the open space outside the city.

By the time the Polar Bear Legion arrived in Texas City, 100,000 igloos had already been built.

After spending the night repairing in Texas City, the Baikal Seals continued to build ice and snow passages southward, while the Polar Bear Corps stayed outside Texas City.

...

January 13, 1934.

After two full days, the Baikal Seals finally built the ice and snow channel to the bank of the Yellow River.

One night, hundreds of thousands of huge igloos appeared on the north bank of the Yellow River.

So many igloos appear on the north bank of the Yellow River, naturally they cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Big Stone Kingdom on the other side of the Yellow River.

After learning that countless igloos had appeared on the other side of the Yellow River overnight, Xiong Dashi immediately sent a dozen teams of werewolf scouts to investigate.

However, the werewolf scouts sent by Xiong Dashi had just reached the middle of the Yellow River when they were intercepted and returned by the Silver Pegasus Knight Squad of the Condor Empire.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Although Xiong Dashi did not detect the situation on the other side of the Yellow River in the end, he still had a premonition that a war was about to happen.

If the Condor Empire really wants to attack the Dashi Kingdom, then the best attack route should be in Laizhou Bay.

Because there is a long coastline there, through the transportation of the Condor Navy, the Condor Army can land from any place.

However, at this time, the Shenying Army did not choose Laizhou Bay, which was more suitable for landing, but chose the frozen Yellow River, and the spearhead was pointed directly at Jinan where Xiong Dashi was located.

Then there is only one truth. Ning Yuan wants Xiong Dashi's life.

"It seems that the guy from the Condor Empire finally can't tolerate me anymore."

After sighing softly, Xiong Dashi immediately mobilized his troops and prepared for a decisive battle with the Condor Army in Jinan.

...

January 15, 1934.

Less than a day after Xiong Dashi sent out the messengers to mobilize reinforcements, densely packed condor troops appeared on the north bank of the Yellow River.

A dwarf engineering corps wearing thick fur coats.

An army of tauren carrying a huge totem pole on their shoulders.

Centaur legions holding large axes and carrying various weapons on their backs.

An army of tiger fighting masters wearing special gloves.

A legion of werewolf guerrillas armed with scimitars and bucklers.

A legion of quilboars with strong bodies, fangs, and maces.

In addition to the dwarf engineering corps, the Condor Empire sent out an all-orc corps.

After seeing the luxurious lineup of the Condor Army on the other side of the Yellow River through the telescope, Xiong Dashi immediately ordered all the troops in the Jinan area to enter Jinan City. He planned to rely on the strong city to resist the Condor Army's attack.

However, as the Condor Army's camp launched behemoths one after another, and those seemingly honest and cute Baikal seals condensed huge ice balls out of ice and snow on the banks of the Yellow River, Xiong Dashi quickly changed his mind.

With the Yellow River at its back, and several heavy snowfalls recently, as long as those damn seals are around, it is impossible for the Condor Army's trebuchets to lack ammunition for throwing.

If they choose to defend Jinan City, it will definitely be a dead end.

Because as long as the Condor Army besieges Jinan City and prevents reinforcements from the Dashi Kingdom from coming to the rescue, then they will have enough time to bury Jinan City with the ice balls condensed by those damn seals.

The material reserves in Jinan City are quite good, and there will be no shortage of food or water in the short term.

If the Condor Army's trebuchets throw stone bullets, then they still have a chance to smash the stone bullets into pieces, or throw them directly outside the city.

But if the Condor Army's trebuchet throws ice balls, then they won't have any chance to resist.

Because if the ice ball is broken, it will melt and freeze on anything it comes into contact with.

If the ice pucks are next to each other, they will quickly freeze into a whole, and it will take a huge external force to separate them.

When the Condor Army used ice balls as throwing ammunition to attack the city, all the defenders in the city would definitely have to hide.

Only when the Condor Army's trebuchets stopped throwing did they emerge to clean up the mess.

The temperature is so low now that by the time the Condor Army stops throwing, the ice pucks thrown into Jinan City will have already frozen with the objects next to them.

If these ice pucks thrown into Jinan City cannot be disposed of in time, as more and more ice pucks accumulate in the city, Jinan City will eventually become a frozen city, and everyone in it will freeze to death or die. To suffocate.

It was precisely because Xiong Dashi foresaw this in time that he chose to take the initiative and never let the Condor Army's trebuchets get close to Jinan City.

Even though he knew that the orc army under his command was obviously not as elite and diverse as the Condor Army, he still had to bite the bullet and attack.

Because other than that, he had no other choice at all.

Unless it becomes summer immediately, allowing the Yellow River to thaw and the ice and snow to melt, he can only choose to take a risk.

...

On the surface, the Baikal seal is a simple and cute creature with basically negligible combat power.

However, although their combat effectiveness is not very good, the role they can play in specific winter scenes is unparalleled.

Before the arrival of the Condor Army, the distribution of ice and snow on the banks of the Yellow River was extremely uneven.

When walking on ice and snow, if you are not careful, you will immediately fall into a pit under the snow that is not necessarily very deep.

When the Baikal Seals of the Condor Army arrived, it took only two days for half a smooth ice and snow channel to appear on the straight path from the Condor Army camp to Jinan City.

The trebuchets of the Condor Army are equipped with ice blades specially designed to glide on the ice. As long as the Baikal seals build this ice and snow channel all the way to the bottom of Jinan City, the trebuchets of the Condor Army can successfully reach the outskirts of Jinan City.

After the Condor Army surrounded Jinan City, they could use ice and snow to seal all the city gates of Jinan City, and then pour ice balls condensed by Baikal seals into it, until Jinan City was completely turned into an ice city. .

This attack plan was specially formulated by Ning Yuan to target Xiong Dashi to defend Jinan City.

And when Ning Yuan learned that Xiong Dashi, who had just reduced his troops and prepared to defend the city, suddenly led the orc army to leave Jinan City, he immediately laughed happily.

Because the siege of Jinan City is not in line with the Condor Empire's winter offensive.

In Ning Yuan's opinion, it is not appropriate for the Divine Eagle Army to stay in the Dashi Kingdom for too long.

Whether or not Jinan City can be captured is not that important to Ning Yuan. What he really wants is Xiong Dashi's life.

Once Xiong Dashi dies, the entire Dashi Kingdom will immediately be leaderless.

At this time, if Lang Xiaotian leads the long-lost elites of the Dashi Kingdom to reappear on this land.

Then with the help of Lang Xiaotian, the Divine Eagle Army will soon be able to quickly occupy the entire Dashi Kingdom.

Because as Lang Xiaotian, who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, his prestige is second only to Xiong Dashi.

Once Xiong Dashi dies, Lang Xiaotian will naturally become the new owner of this land.

At that time, even if some diehards of Xiong Dashi want to cause trouble, they will not be able to make waves.

Because this world relies on strength, this time the Condor Empire dispatched so many elite orcs, not just for the Big Stone Kingdom, but for the entire Yangtze and Yellow River basins.

When Ning Yuan went on this expedition, he was already prepared to make the earth red with blood.

For those tribes who refuse to surrender, the swords in the hands of the Condor Army are the best answer.

The Dashi Kingdom will be his first stop.

During this long winter, the butcher knife in his hand will continue to swing until he completely occupies all the land between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
