Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Since Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu dared to attack the guild's coalition forces, they must have made sufficient preparations. They must have their own strategic goals, so lures and the like must not work for them.

After the failure of the collusion, the coalition forces of the guild immediately stopped their offensive against the orcs in order to regain the initiative.

They dispatched several elite troops to launch a fierce attack on Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu, and the two sides fought fiercely in Nanyang and Susong.

On the Nanyang battlefield, Li Yufeng relied on Nanyang City to successfully block the guild coalition forces under the city for thirty days.

After being unable to attack for a long time, the coalition forces of the guild immediately sent out some troops to attack Xiangyang City. They wanted to give Li Yufeng a siege to save Zhao, force Li Yufeng to attack, or take away his lair directly.

As a result, when the army marched near Xinye, an army suddenly broke out and attacked the flank of the guild coalition forces. After a day and night of fighting, the guild coalition forces that wanted to attack Xiangyang were completely defeated.

It turned out that the army stationed in Nanyang City was not the elite of Li Yufeng's men. Li Yufeng only left 20,000 Mo Dao soldiers in Nanyang City.

The elite army under Li Yufeng was actually stationed in Xinye City.

His plan was to use Nanyang City to drag the guild coalition forces there, and then wait until the opponent was unable to attack for a long time, and then send troops from Xinye to launch a surprise attack on the guild coalition forces from behind.

The guild coalition's plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao was right in his arms, so after learning that the other side had taken the initiative to divide the troops, he immediately led the army to launch a surprise attack on the guild coalition from the flank.

After defeating the southward guild coalition forces, Li Yufeng led the army to Nanyang non-stop.

Outside Nanyang City, the enemy and us fought fiercely. In the end, with the cooperation of the Modao Army who came out of the city, Li Yufeng completely wiped out the guild coalition forces.

So far, the West Route Army sent by the guild coalition forces has been wiped out.

In the south, the 300,000 troops of the Guild coalition launched a fierce attack on Susong City.

In order to capture Susong City as soon as possible, they divided the 300,000 troops into four echelons, and launched attacks on Susong City day and night.

Unlike Li Yufeng, Zhao Guangfu did not hide his main forces elsewhere, and his main force was basically in Susong City.

Many people know that the Beiwei army is invincible in field battles, even the most elite army in the Kingdom of Jin is no match for them.

However, people ignore their real housekeeping skills. In fact, their defense can make the enemy more desperate than their offense.

Because of the lack of war horses in the Southern Song Dynasty, their cavalry has always been difficult to compete with the Jin people, so in order to make up for this defect, they invented the magic arm bow and chariot formation.

When facing the charge of enemy cavalry, the Southern Song army would use vehicles to form a line of defense, relying on this line of defense to fight against the Jin soldiers.

In the chariot formation, except for the hand-to-hand units in the front row, all other soldiers were armed with bows and crossbows.

These crossbowmen will carry out indiscriminate long-range strikes on the enemies and war horses rushing over, and shoot as much as possible of their vitality before the enemies rush over.

If it is said that in positional warfare, the enemy still has a high probability of defeating the Southern Song army, then in the defensive battle, it is not so easy to break through the city they are defending.

In the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, the two most famous battles for defending the city were the Battle of Diaoyu City and the Battle of Xiangfan.

The Mongols at that time could be said to have defeated the invincible opponents in the world, but under these two cities, they collided with blood.

In the Battle of Diaoyu City, the Mongolian army not only suffered heavy losses, but even their Great Khan, Mengge, died in the battle. Until the Southern Song Dynasty was completely destroyed, the Mongols failed to capture this fortified city.

Diaoyu City has persisted for thirty-six years and has never lost its hold. Finally, after learning that the Southern Song Dynasty court had perished, the soldiers and civilians in the city opened the city and surrendered.

The Battle of Xiangfan was even more tragic. The Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongols fought under the city of Xiangyang for six years.

Then, some people may ask, why are Diaoyu City and Xiangyang City so difficult to break into?

The answer is simple, because there is a sharp weapon for defending the city, the divine arm bow.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, because the cavalry was weak and the foot was strong, in order to fight against the enemy's cavalry, they put more energy on the development of long-range weapons used by infantry, so the god arm bow was born.

Compared with ordinary bows and crossbows, the Divine Arm Bow has a longer range and greater lethality. If the distance is too close, it can even shoot through some iron armor.

The Divine Arm Bow can be said to be a nightmare for lightly armored soldiers, and most of the siege soldiers are light armored infantry, so using the Divine Arm Bow to defend the city can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.

The coalition forces of the guild have besieged Susong City for more than a month. During this period, they have successively transferred two legions from the front line. They are bound to win Susong City.

But a month later, they voluntarily withdrew their troops.

When the 500,000 army left, there were only more than 200,000 left, but Susong City showed no signs of being breached. The defenders in the city were raining arrows every day, as if the arrows in their hands were free of money. , casually wasted.

If the fight continues like this, I am afraid that the remaining 200,000 people will all be here, so no matter how unwilling the guild coalition forces are, even if they know that the defenders in the city are about to reach their limit, they will not dare to fight again. Bet down.

In fact, if they could persist for another month, the arrows in the city would be exhausted. Unfortunately, they had already been killed, so Zhao Guangfu had the last laugh.

With the defeat of the two southwestern armies, the situation of the guild coalition forces suddenly became passive.

Although the orc army has experienced several major defeats, they still have the power to fight. If they are not careful, the guild coalition forces may be overthrown by them.

Although Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu didn't take the opportunity to attack the guild coalition army back and forth with the orc army, they managed to cut off the guild coalition army's retreat and supply lines. Once the guild coalition army's food and grass were exhausted, the army of tens of millions would collapse immediately.

Now there are two paths before the guild coalition forces.

One is to send people to guard the main road in the rear, and then attack the Ten Thousand Beast Empire with all their strength. As long as they can completely wipe out the Ten Thousand Beast Empire, then all problems will be solved.

One is to return to the division immediately, concentrate superior forces to wipe out Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu, and then deal with the Beast Empire.

These two paths, no matter which one you choose, are very risky.

The first path looks good, after all, the morale of the orcs is sluggish, and they can take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out each other completely in one go.

But after this period of rest, the orcs have recovered a lot, and they really don't have much confidence in destroying each other.

And once they are defeated by the orcs, with the back road blocked, they may be completely finished.

If you choose the second path, no matter how elite the Modao soldiers, Xuanjia cavalry, and Beiwei army are, they will undoubtedly be defeated under the siege of tens of millions of troops.

It stands to reason that the second way is safer, but it needs the cooperation of the orcs to actually implement it.

When the army returned to the division, it was equivalent to selling their backs to the orcs. If the orcs chose to pursue them, they might lose even faster under the enemy's back.

And if a part of the army is left to defend some checkpoints and main roads, and the main force returns to the division, it will be difficult for them to resist the attack of the orcs if the force is not dominant.

So no matter which path you choose, you must take risks.

Because the matter is so important, the leaders of the major guilds did not dare to make decisions lightly, so they asked the army to station in place and collect as much food as possible in case of emergencies, and they themselves started the battle. intense discussions.

Some leaders of the guild thought that they should concentrate on dealing with the orcs when there was enough food and grass. As for the two flies behind, let them buzz for a while.

After the orcs are wiped out, those two flies will be the turtles in the jar.

Some people think that the foundation of the Wanshou Empire is still there, and it will take a long time to completely destroy the Wanshou Empire. As the saying goes, you must first settle down if you fight against the outside world, so it is better to swatt the flies to death first, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

While discussing countermeasures, they sent people to contact Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu again, hoping that they would change their minds.

It's a pity that these two people were determined to keep the main force of the guild alliance here, so they still broke up without speculation.

Facing the arrogant attitude of the two, the high-level members of the guild coalition army were completely furious, so after a show of hands voted by most people, they chose the second way, first swatting the annoying flies to death, and then going to deal with the beasts empire.

In order to prevent the orc army from taking the opportunity to make trouble from behind, they left half of the army for defense, and all the other troops returned to deal with Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu.

Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu laughed in unison after hearing the news of the division of the guild's coalition forces.

 …

Just when the coalition forces of the guild had just entered the territory of Hubei, the orc army who had been on the defensive before suddenly launched a crazy counterattack.

Although the coalition forces of the guild had expected that the orc army would not be honest, they did not expect that this counterattack would be so violent.

The orc army almost came out in full force this time. Facing the overwhelming orc army, the defenders of the Guild Alliance put up a tenacious resistance.

While defending tenaciously, they asked for help from the rear. After persisting for five days and five nights, because the reinforcements failed to arrive, they were finally defeated by the orc army.

With the defeat of this defending army, the guild coalition forces immediately fell into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

At this time, they were in no mood to deal with Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu. After learning that the orc army was chasing them, they immediately stopped and began to build fortifications on the spot.

After the orc army won a big victory, the morale was boosted. Although there were still many player spies among them, the players were immediately isolated after the orcs adopted the defeat order.

The so-called defeat order is that once defeated, the entire army will be severely punished, and the entire army will be executed if it is serious.

Under the harsh punishment measures, the orcs only believed in people of the same race who knew the basics. As long as they didn't know each other, even if they were of the same race, they would be excluded by them.

As a result, under the mutual identification of the orcs through tribes and groups, a large number of unknown orcs were quickly removed from their army, and most of these orcs were players.

After the players were eliminated, there was no more defection in the orc army, so the invincible army of beasts came back again.

The trenches dug by the players' coalition forces and the earthen walls built could not stop the orc army's footsteps at all, and soon the two armies directly fought together.

Although the fighting power of the player coalition is not as good as that of the orcs, they are superior in numbers, so although they fight extremely hard every day, they have never collapsed, and temporarily maintain a situation of equal strength with the orc army.

When the player's coalition army and the orc army fell into a stalemate, the army under the command of Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu became the key force that could determine the outcome.

Just when the player coalition army was worried that the two armies would suddenly attack from behind and cooperate with the orc army to attack them back and forth, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu unexpectedly chose to sit on the sidelines.

Although I can't figure out why the two of them stayed put, but this result is very beneficial to the players' coalition forces, which is exactly what they want to see.

Many players even think that these two have figured it out. They are afraid of offending the players in Huaxia District completely, so they dare not do things too extreme.

They thought that the two had lost face and couldn't bear to admit their mistakes, so they took the initiative to send someone to contact the two again, hoping to draw them to their side.

It's a pity that they failed again. Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu's attitudes were still so firm. Not only did they refuse to make peace with the guild coalition forces, they even refused to let the guild coalition forces' reinforcements come over.

After being rejected again, the players finally understood what the two wanted to do.

The reason why they didn't cooperate with the orc army to attack the guild coalition forces back and forth was probably to preserve their strength.

They definitely want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then suddenly step in at the right time in order to earn the maximum benefit.

Obviously, this kind of thinking of the two is very short-sighted, but the guild coalition forces want them to wait and see forever, so the players just carefully monitored them, and then put their main energy into the battle with the orcs.

When the guild coalition army was fighting with the orc army, Li Yufeng and Li Yufeng had many opportunities to severely injure the guild coalition army, but they didn't seem to see it, and they didn't have any intention of attacking at all.

However, they also did not intend to let go of the coalition forces of the guilds. The major guilds organized several reinforcements, but they all stopped them.

In this way, the guild coalition army and the orc army attacked each other every day, and neither of them would let the other go.

In this protracted battle, the weakness of the guild coalition forces without logistical supplies gradually began to be magnified.

Although the orc army also suffered heavy losses, they were able to replenish soldiers and food from the rear in time.

Not only could the guild coalition forces fail to replenish their troops in time, they even ran out of food and grass. If a large number of soldiers hadn't been killed in battle, they might have encountered a food crisis long ago.

Under this ebb and flow, the guild coalition forces finally began to run out after holding on for more than four months.

With the continuous loss of frontier positions, they still did not escape the fate of failure in the end.

The guild coalition forces on the west road were blocked by Li Yufeng, so they had nowhere to retreat, so they chose to die with the orc army.

Except for a very few who escaped from the four million troops, most of them died in battle.

However, their sacrifices were not in vain, and their dying counterattack also brought great casualties to the orc army.

The guild coalition forces on the South Road originally wanted to cross the river to escape to the south bank of the Yangtze River, but when they crossed the river, a large number of mermaid warriors suddenly appeared in the Yangtze River.

The mermaid warriors scuttled all their ships, and under the pincer attack of the orcs and the mermaids, the South Route Army was finally wiped out.

So far, the 16-month long counter-offensive ended with the annihilation of the guild coalition forces.

In this battle, the guild coalition forces lost a total of 12 million elite troops, which can be said to have hurt the bone marrow, and many guilds have been devastated since then.

Although the Beast Empire won the final victory, it was also a disastrous victory. After this battle, many elite orc legions simply canceled their numbers. It would take at least thirty years for them to return to their heyday.

There are only two real victors in this battle, Li Yufeng and Zhao Guangfu.

Taking advantage of the time when the guild coalition forces were fighting the orcs, they successfully occupied the entire territory of Hubei, and occupied some strategic points from Sichuan to Hubei. As a part of the Beast Empire, they can be said to have made a lot of money.

After going through this battle, the Grand Guilds in the Huaxia District not only suffered heavy losses in their troops, but their influence in the Huaxia District also plummeted.

After this failure, they completely lost their control over the Huaxia District. They could no longer suppress those powerful princes and players. The Huaxia District has gradually entered the era of feudal lords' melee.

After this battle, the Grand Guild in Huaxia District gradually stepped down from the altar, and the princes and players gradually ushered in their own spring, so people called this battle the twilight of the guild.
