Chapter 1430: Whoever starts in hell mode dies

Many games have multiple difficulties such as normal mode, hard mode and hell mode.

Anyone who plays games frequently knows that the normal mode is for players to get familiar with the game and operations.

The normal mode and hard mode of some games also have the function of allowing players to accumulate levels and equipment.

Only those who have mastered the game's operations and mechanisms proficiently, and have sufficient levels and equipment can be qualified to challenge the hell difficulty.

If there is no level and equipment, and the hell mode is turned on directly from the beginning, then without the support of level and equipment, if the operation is still top-notch, the only result will be game over.

Now for the coalition of Middle Eastern players led by Abbas, the Condor Empire army on the Amu Darya River is definitely a hellish existence.

Without sufficient levels (strength) and equipment (weapons and equipment), their move is definitely very dangerous.

Because the elite troops on their side that can really attract the attention of the Condor Empire are now trapped in the Kazakh Khanate.

To put it bluntly, the generals of the Condor Empire headed by James did not look down upon them at all.

If this wasn't a long-distance expedition, if it weren't for the conquests against Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, if it weren't for the Condor Empire's insufficient number of troops here, and if Ningyuan hadn't banned them from crossing the Karakum Desert, I'm afraid James would have led The people were killed as far as the gates of Ashgabat.

Because what Ning Yuan wants is long-term occupation, many of his strategies are to be as safe as possible to avoid unnecessary legacy.

As one of the elders of the Condor Empire, James certainly understood Ning Yuan's thoughts, so after capturing the Amu Darya River Basin, he did not make any aggressive gestures, but took a full defensive stance.

It may be that James's comprehensive defense gave Ibn Haidar and others the illusion that the city of Turkmenabat could be attacked by them, and the defenders in the city would only defend the city and would not take the initiative to attack.

Although they hope that the defenders in the city can engage in field battles with them, because it is easier to fight in the field than to attack the city.

But at the same time, they do not want the Condor Empire army in the Turkmenabat area to fight with them in the field, because if the Condor Empire army engages in a field battle with them, it means that the Condor Army has the confidence to defeat them.

Only the Condor Empire's army clinging to the city shows that the enemy has no confidence in defeating them in a field battle.

That's right, Ibn Haidar and the others are so conflicted. They both want to fight in the field with the Condor Empire's army, but they are also afraid of fighting in the field with the Condor Empire's army.

...

When Abbas led the army to Turkmenabat, the reaction of the defenders in the city made them both happy and disappointed.

Fortunately, the enemy adopted a completely defensive posture, which showed that the enemy did not have the confidence to defeat them in the wild.

What's disappointing is that the enemy is holding on to the city and they will have a very hard siege.

It is very likely that we will have to constantly replenish troops from the rear to the front.

Abbas had a beautiful idea, but this was just his wishful thinking, because James was not prepared to fight a protracted war with them here at all.

In the view of Ibn Haidar, Abbas and others, the oasis where Mare State is located is the only way to southern Turkmenistan. If this route is not taken, it is impossible for the army to cross the Karakum Desert.

Because when traveling in the desert, in addition to temperature differences, wind and sand, and water sources, the sense of direction is also a very fatal factor.

Because of the wind and sand, there is no obvious reference point in the desert full of yellow sand. After a gust of wind, people are likely to be lost forever in the vast sea of ​​sand.

So after they controlled the only passage to Mare State, it was impossible for the Condor Empire's army to bypass their rear.

It is precisely because of this that Abbas deployed most of his troops on the side near the desert, in order to prevent the Condor Empire's troops from taking advantage of the loopholes.

...

In response to Abbas's arrangement, the Condor Empire troops on James' side were indeed unable to quietly penetrate behind enemy lines unless they could break through the enemy's blockade head-on.

At the same time, the endless Karakum Desert is indeed a formidable existence. Even the Centaur army with super endurance does not dare to penetrate into it easily.

Because as long as you get lost, no matter how strong your endurance is, the probability of getting lost in the sand sea is more than 90%, because even the best guide cannot guarantee to find the correct route in the ever-changing sand sea. .

If you cannot find the correct route quickly, the final result will be a withered skeleton in the sea of ​​sand.

The desert is so awe-inspiring to all living things, and it has always been called a forbidden area of ​​death.

However, the death zone is not an absolute place of death. As long as people can find the right way, they can successfully cross the so-called death zone.

For the Karakum Desert, which is hundreds of kilometers wide, the only way James can think of is to take advantage of the Seraph army's high-altitude vision to conduct a voyage.

Seraph warriors with high-altitude vision have certain vision advantages in the desert. As long as they don't encounter too rough weather, they will not get lost easily.

What James used was a relatively stupid pathfinding method.

This method is to have the Seraph army enter the desert first and station one person in the air every few kilometers.

In this way, as long as every two adjacent Seraph warriors can see each other, then none of them will get lost.

In this way, a Seraph warrior was placed every one kilometer as an aerial landmark until the frontmost Seraph warrior found the Mare Oasis hidden in the desert.

Although this method seems clumsy and time-consuming, as long as it can ensure that the Condor Empire troops entering the Karakum Desert from the ground will not get lost, then this tactic is successful.

After successfully crossing the Karakum Desert to find the Mare Oasis for the first time, James immediately ordered the Condor Empire troops stationed in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River to prepare for a raid on the Mare State.

On the day of the real action, a Seraph army of several thousand people set off from Urgench first.

Along the route of their last exploration, they left two Seraph warriors every one kilometer as aerial landmarks, and then headed east, spanning more than 360 kilometers, and finally successfully found the Mare Oasis.

After successfully finding the Mare Oasis, the Seraph warriors immediately relayed the news all the way back to the Condor Army station in Urgench via air transmission.

That night, all the Seraph warriors spent the night in the vast desert, working in groups of two. Even if they encountered a large sandstorm, they did not leave the ground facing their position during the day.

Gu He\u003c/span\u003e Early the next morning, when all the Seraph warriors took off again, the Condor Empire expeditionary force that was ready in the Urgench area immediately entered the endless Karakum Desert.

In order to ensure that the army has enough logistical supplies and fresh water, Sosa Warhammer led a total of 50,000 centaurs, 10,000 dwarfs, 10,000 elven archers, and 2,000 men and three camels. Tiger warriors and five hundred angel warriors with somersault clouds.

According to the instructions of the Seraph warriors, the army had to walk at least a hundred kilometers in the desert every day before stopping to rest.

In this way, after four days of hard work, Sousa Warhammer finally led the army to the vicinity of Mare Oasis.

After climbing to the top of the dune and looking at the Mare Oasis in the distance through the telescope, the corners of Sousa Warhammer's mouth gradually rose.

At this time, the sun had tilted to the west, and Sotha Warhammer ordered the army to start repairing on the back of the dune.

It was night, when the people in the Mare Oasis were already lying in warm quilts and falling asleep, countless figures suddenly appeared on the sand dunes to the west of the oasis.

After the army was in formation, following Sousa Warhammer's order, 80,000 cavalrymen immediately rushed towards the buildings in the oasis.

Eighty thousand cavalrymen were running at the same time. Even if they were careful, they could not cover up the sound of the galloping horses.

As the ground of the entire oasis shook violently, the sleeping people immediately woke up from their sleep.

When they got dressed, picked up their weapons and went outside to check, they saw fast-moving black shadows everywhere outside. Many people fell into a pool of blood before they could even realize what was going on.

Under the deliberate attack of the centaur army and the other two cavalry, the 200,000 troops left by Abbas in the Mare Oasis were defeated almost instantly. Only the 10,000 defenders stationed in Mare City survived.

That night, except for Mare City, the entire oasis was filled with fire and shouts of death.

The strong centaur warriors set fire to all the buildings except the granary, leaving the enemies hiding inside with nowhere to hide.

When it gets brighter, the entire outside of Mare City has become a hell.

There were smoky ruins everywhere, mutilated corpses everywhere, and the entire oasis ground had been dyed dark red.

In order to ensure the success rate and concealment of the raid, the Condor Empire army led by Sousa Warhammer did not take any prisoners of war. Whether they were the Middle Eastern troops stationed in the oasis or the civilians responsible for logistics and transportation, all were beheaded without exception. Kill them all.

When the defenders in Mare City saw the scene outside the city, they were immediately frightened and shuddered by the scene in front of them.

While some of the aborigines in the city were still debating with the players whether they should open the city and surrender, white clouds appeared outside the city.

As white clouds lined up from low to high, a white ladder leading to the city wall soon appeared on the north wall of Marley City.

While the angel warriors of the Somersault Cloud Legion were building ladders, the defenders on the city wall began to fire arrows continuously.

However, for the Seraph warriors who were armed to the teeth, the rain of arrows shot from the top of the city was simply an irritation. They directly built the ladder to the top of the city against the enemy's rain of arrows.

As the last set of stairs was built, the tiger warriors who had been following the angel warriors immediately jumped up.

When two thousand tiger warriors attacked the city, there was no suspense in the siege.

In the end, just like outside the city, the tiger warriors left no one alive. They directly killed all the soldiers and civilians in Marley City.

After successfully occupying the entire Mare Oasis, Sousa Warhammer organized manpower to transport grain and grass supplies from the warehouses outside the city to the city, while sending two cavalry regiments along this green passage to clear out the enemy troops.

The cavalry regiment heading south fought its way to the outskirts of Ashgabat City as if there was no one around, frightening the Turkmen players there and immediately closed the city gates and did not dare to fight.

The cavalry regiment heading north took advantage of the fact that Abbas had not yet reacted, and cleared all the supply points built by the coalition of players in the Middle East along the way, completely cutting off the connection between Abbas's army and Mare.

When Abbas learned that the Mare Oasis had been completely occupied, he immediately sat in the camp, as if he was stupid. No matter how others called, he remained silent.

It's not that Abbas has poor mental endurance, but that he knows too well what the loss of the Mare Oasis means.

There are a million Middle Eastern players in Turkmenabat.

The food and drink of these one million people depend on the Mare Oasis behind them.

Every day, a large number of horse-drawn carriages travel between Mare Oasis and Turkmenabat.

Because the grain and grass supplies they carried with the army were only enough to sustain the army for half a month, they had to continuously transport grain and grass supplies to the front line.

With the fall of the Mare Oasis, their army of millions was directly locked to the south bank of the Amu Darya River by the enemy.

To the north is the city of Turkmenabat, and on the other side of the river are various fortifications built by the Condor Empire.

To the south are an unknown number of Condor Empire centaur troops and other cavalry regiments.

Although Abbas still hasn't figured out how the enemy got around it, to be able to defeat the 200,000 garrison in Mare Oasis overnight, the number of enemy troops must be at least 100,000.

The camp of the Middle Eastern player coalition in Turkmenabat is more than 180 kilometers away from the Mare Oasis.

Now most of the supply points along the way have been burned down by the Centaur army of the Condor Empire.

After losing those supply points, even if they wanted to take back the Mare Oasis, it had become a luxury.

Because under the harassment and interception of the Centaur army, they may not be able to cover the 180 kilometers even if they run out of food.

So the moment he learned that the Mare Oasis had been captured, Abbas knew that the millions of troops he led were doomed, and so was he.

Ibn Haidar would never forgive him for such a fatal mistake, even if he was Ibn Haidar's favorite.

It is estimated that this battle will be his last dance in the game. Even if Ibn Haidar does not kick him away afterwards, it will be difficult for him to lead the army alone again.
