Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Although it is difficult for people to hear what Li Hongfei's true thoughts are from his statement, and he did not show his kindness to the Northern Expedition Alliance as openly as Sun Xiaosheng did, but as long as he agrees to let the orc army from the Wicked Valley participate in this major counterattack, then For everyone in the Northern Expedition Alliance, everyone is happy.

After experiencing a series of previous events, the rift between the five Jiangnan families has widened again, which is still very good news for the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Although Dongfang Ming, Lu Chenguang and others are not in the mood to pay attention to the troubles between the five Jiangnan families now, as long as they can successfully overcome this difficulty, they will definitely take advantage of the conflicts between the five Jiangnan families. Disintegrate and divide them.

For the Northern Expedition Alliance, the five Jiangnan families, Xiao Li Tang and Xiao Zhao Song were not qualified to be on an equal footing with them, because they were not of the same order of magnitude at all.

However, the fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and the tiger that has descended from the mountain is not as good as a dog. At this time, they are already in such a state that they have to rely on each other's breath to survive.

Originally, everyone in the Northern Expedition Alliance was still worried about the five Jiangnan families that were gradually overtaking them. They didn't know how to regain their top spot in the Chinese region.

Now, luckily, internal strife has broken out among the five Jiangnan families. For them, this is really a blessing after a long drought!

They would never miss such a good opportunity.

Dongfang Ming and others have even begun to consider how to continue dividing the five Jiangnan families after the war.

Sun Xiaosheng of Huaguo Mountain has already made it clear that he will join the Northern Expedition Alliance. As long as they make some promises, the entire Huaguo Mountain will immediately be planted with the Northern Expedition Alliance flag.

You can also fight for the Valley of the Evil, but considering that in the next attack, the Valley of the Evil will lose a large number of elite orcs, so the difficulty may be a bit high.

As for the three adjacent player forces of Tianjian Pavilion, Yujian Villa and Jingwu Alliance, with Li Tiancheng, a cunning careerist, it will be very difficult to win over one of them unless they can first Convince Li Tiancheng himself.

...

While Dongfang Ming and others were mobilizing troops to prepare for a large-scale attack and thinking about how to further divide the five Jiangnan families, fierce aerial battles were taking place in the Dongting Lake to Honghu basin.

After receiving the order from Ningyuan to withdraw the entire army to Jingzhou, brothers Dong Tianbao and Dong Tianba immediately organized soldiers to board the ship, and then began to swim upstream along the Yangtze River.

Just when they were ready to retreat immediately, the second wave of Seraph scouts sent by Ning Yuan found the two brothers again.

This Seraph team brought new orders from Ning Yuan to the Dong brothers.

Ning Yuan asked the two brothers to stop immediately when they retreated to the Dongting Lake Basin, then dispersed all the air force and deployed an air blockade from Hong Lake to the southernmost end of Dongting Lake.

The order given by Ning Yuan was that the Dong brothers' army must not let any flying scout of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance cross this long air blockade before dark.

Although they didn't know what Ning Yuan's purpose was in setting up such a long air blockade with great fanfare, out of trust in Ning Yuan and obedience to military orders, the two Dong brothers faithfully carried out Ning Yuan's order.

After the Divine Eagle Army voluntarily abandoned the Rainbow Bridge in Wuhan and Yueyang, the players responsible for commanding the battles in these two theaters immediately dispatched flying scouts to deliver the good news to Dongfang Ming.

However, facing the tight blockade of the Condor Air Force, the flying scouts sent by the Northern Expeditionary Alliance were intercepted by the Condor Air Force as soon as they arrived over Dongting Lake.

With the cooperation of the Seraph scouts, all the flying scout teams of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance were killed in Dongting Lake.

After waiting for a long time and failing to receive a reply from Dongfang Ming, Murong Changfeng, who was responsible for commanding the Yueyang Campaign, immediately felt something was wrong.

Because according to the straight-line distance from Yueyang to Jingzhou,

The owl players they sent out to report the news should have turned back long ago, unless they encountered something unexpected on the way.

When he thought that the owl scouts he sent out were probably intercepted halfway by the Seraph scouts of the Condor Empire, Murong Changfeng immediately sent an owl army of nearly ten thousand people to fly to the Jingzhou war zone.

In Murong Changfeng's view, no matter how elite the Seraph Scouts of the Condor Empire are, they cannot intercept an owl army of tens of thousands of people with only a few hundred people. Therefore, this time the owl army can definitely defeat Wuhan. The good news about the Yueyang area was sent to Dongfang Ming.

Dongfang Ming's thinking was not wrong at all. With the number of Seraph scouts in the Yangtze River area, they were indeed unable to intercept an owl army of tens of thousands.

However, their inability to intercept does not mean that the Condor Air Force cannot complete this interception mission, because in the air around Dongting Lake, the Condor Air Force has an absolute numerical advantage.

Not long after the Owl Legion sent by Murong Changfeng took off, the Seraph scouts had already sent the enemy's intelligence to the sky above Dongting Lake.

Facing the Owl Legion with only tens of thousands of people, after mastering their detailed flight routes, the Condor Air Force just deployed a pocket formation over Dongting Lake. This Northern Expeditionary Alliance Owl Legion with a scale of tens of thousands all Became a corpse on the lake.

At the Colorful Bridge, the reason why the Condor Air Force was no match for the Northern Expeditionary Alliance was mainly because the Northern Expeditionary Alliance had both the Demon Warrior ejection device to restrain them and the Somersault Cloud Legion that could ignore low-altitude flight.

Facing such two opponents who had absolute restraint on them, they were directly suppressed by the enemy. In the end, they had no choice but to ask for help from Ning Yuan.

But now after they voluntarily gave up defending the Colorful Bridge, the new battlefield came to the sky above Dongting Lake.

Here, the Northern Expeditionary Alliance's demon warrior ejection device has no use at all.

Because there were a large number of mermaid warriors on their side, the ships of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance did not dare to enter the water easily, so the ejection device of the demon warriors to restrain them was directly abolished.

As for the somersault cloud army that can also fly, their flying speed is driven by human power.

By the time the players from Huaguo Mountain fanned the Somersault Cloud Legion to their location, I'm afraid those guys would no longer have the strength to draw their bows and arrows.

Therefore, in setting up an air blockade over Dongting Lake this time, the Condor Air Force not only had the right time, place, and people, but also had absolute numerical and intelligence advantages.

With such a huge advantage, if Murong Changfeng wanted to get in touch with Dongfang Ming, they could only choose to take the land route.

However, eight hundred miles away from Dongting, it was not easy to send the news to the Jingzhou war zone by land.

The cavalry messenger sent by Murong Changfeng set out from Yueyang. The first stop was to arrive in Changsha, then from Changsha to Yiyang, then from Yiyang to Changde, and finally from Changde to the Jingzhou theater.

The straight-line distance of this route is more than 400 kilometers, not to mention there are many winding roads halfway.

Although the ancients often said that a thousand-mile horse can travel a thousand miles in a day and eight hundred miles at night, in fact it is impossible for a horse to run such a long distance continuously in one day.

Take the Mongolian horse, which is known for its endurance, as an example.

It takes about six hours for a well-trained Mongolian horse to run one kilometer, which is six hours for 100 kilometers, and it must be the best among Mongolian horses.

One hundred kilometers takes six hours, and four hundred kilometers equals twenty-four hours, which is a whole day.

Considering that no matter how good the Mongolian horse is, it has to stop to rest and eat, so the time consumed will have to continue to increase.

If the Northern Expedition Alliance had set up post stations in these important transit cities, and the cavalrymen who delivered the message would change horses and men directly after arriving at the inpost station, then they would have to run for at least twenty-four hours to get to Dongfang Ming.

And this must be based on the fact that the Seraph scouts do not actively harass them.

If the Seraph scouts targeted them, and then took advantage of taking a shortcut by flying to arrive in front of them and set up an ambush, then they would never be able to reach Dongfang Ming.

Because there were not many cavalry in Yueyang City where Murong Changfeng was stationed.

As long as a small number of cavalry messengers are targeted by Seraph scouts, they will have no chance of surviving.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for Murong Changfeng to deliver the information to Dongfang Ming within one day, unless they could break through from above Dongting Lake.

...

Considering that there was no news about the owl team sent out earlier, for the sake of safety, Murong Changfeng quietly sent a thousand owl army to follow at a distance after the owl army of ten thousand people set off. behind them.

When the ten-thousand-strong owl army plunged into the pocket formation of the Condor Air Force and was completely wiped out, the thousand-strong owl army immediately fled towards Yueyang City with all their might.

Although the Seraph scouts had tried their best to hunt down the owl warriors, their local numbers were too small, so they still allowed hundreds of owl warriors to successfully escape back to Yueyang City.

When Murong Changfeng heard from the escaped owl warriors that the Condor Air Force had deployed an airtight air defense line over Dongtian Lake, his brows immediately furrowed.

In Murong Changfeng's view, when the Divine Eagle Empire chose to voluntarily abandon the Colorful Bridge in Wuhan and Yueyang, they must have wanted to take advantage of their marching speed to quickly form a numerical advantage in the Jingzhou Theater. Fight against the attack of Dongfang Ming army.

Otherwise, it would make no sense for them to voluntarily abandon the Rainbow Bridge in these two theaters.

However, now the fleet and air force of the Condor Army are all staying at the Dongtian Lake line, and a strict air blockade has been deployed there. What is their intention?

Could it be that he simply wanted to keep the naval fleet and Tenglong Air Force that had been withdrawn from these two theaters?

If this is really the case, then Ning Yuan's IQ is too low!

The current situation is that the Eagle Army, which withdrew from Wuhan and Yueyang, has truly stopped at the line from Dongting Lake to the Yangtze River. Moreover, they have blocked the airspace of Dongting Lake and cut off all connections between the east and west of Dongting Lake.

Judging from the momentum of the Condor Air Force above Dongting Lake, it seemed that they did not want Dongfang Ming to obtain detailed information about the two war zones in Wuhan and Yueyang, so they deployed this airtight air blockade.

So is the intelligence on the success of these two theaters really so important?

After thinking about it, Murong Changfeng couldn't figure out what was the real purpose of the Condor Army in blocking this information?

And is this information really important enough to influence the situation in the Jingzhou War Zone?

If Ning Yuan's original intention was to have the Condor Army from Wuhan and Yueyang suddenly appear in Jingzhou and catch Dongfang Ming off guard, then Ning Yuan would definitely be the most stupid person in the world.

Because even if he cannot break through the blockade of the Condor Army and send the information, as long as the Condor Navy fleet appears near Jingzhou, Dongfang Ming will be able to discover it immediately. After all, as long as such a large fleet appears in the Yangtze River, Not even a blind person can see it.

And judging from the current situation, most of the warships of the Condor Navy are parked in the waters near Dongting Lake, and they seem to have no intention of leaving.

If this large fleet stays in the Dongting Lake area, then the battle situation in Yueyang and Wuhan will have almost no impact on the Jingzhou theater.

As long as Dongfang Ming in Jingzhou can defeat the Eagle Army there according to the original plan, then as long as he continues to sit in Yueyang and stand still, everything will be fine.

Could it be that the Condor Air Force deliberately deployed an air blockade on the Dongting Lake line to mislead itself that Dongfang Ming would be defeated, to induce itself to take the initiative to send flying legions to support Dongting Ming, and then to eliminate the flying legions it sent in Dongting? Over the lake?

If this is the case, then the Divine Eagle Army must have already known some of the fatal weaknesses of the Somersault Cloud, so they deliberately set up this trap to encircle and suppress the Somersault Cloud Army in Huaguo Mountain above Dongting Lake.

If their real target is the Somersault Cloud Legion of the Huaguoshan Legion, then everything can be explained.

Because what really forced the Wuhan and Yueyang Condor Armies to abandon the Rainbow Bridge was not the Demon Warrior ejection device, but the Somersault Cloud Legion that could attack without damage.

As long as this obstructive Somersault Cloud Legion is eliminated, then with the Mermaid Legion's storm tactics and the power of the massive Tenglong Air Force, the Condor Army has a good chance of taking back the Colorful Rainbow Bridge from them.

Murong Changfeng suddenly took a breath when he thought of the scene where the Rainbow Bridge was gained and lost.

"Come here, immediately notify Long Yifan who is in Wuhan and tell him not to let down his guard, because the Condor Army has not really withdrawn, and they may suddenly launch a counterattack at any time."

After patting his chest, Murong Changfeng immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Long Yifan, fearing that the other party would make a huge mistake.
