Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

The Condor Army captured the city of Qamdo, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, which was equivalent to capturing the Ancient Tea Horse Road from Ya'an to Lhasa.

But even if the entire Ancient Tea Horse Road is captured, it will be difficult for the Condor Army to transfer its troops in Sichuan to Lhasa and other places.

Because only pack horses can travel normally on the Tea Horse Road, it is difficult for the Shenying Army to transport the grain and grass supplies needed by the army just by relying on pack horses.

Therefore, if the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds launch a counterattack against Lhasa and other places, the only ground legions that the Condor Army can rely on are the Ape Man Legion and the Snow Mountain Legion.

As for the nine days Bai Ze mentioned, it was actually a confidentiality period for this military operation.

Although the military operation of the Condor Army to raid Qamdo City was very sudden and the confidentiality measures were very good, as soon as the game time of the day was over, this matter was no longer a secret.

That's why Bai Ze asked Hu Dashan to lead the Snow Mountain Army to the Lhasa area within nine days.

Although Bai Ze didn't know that players could go offline, Ning Yuan had hinted to him that if he wanted to launch a surprise attack, it would be best to launch it on the 1st, 11th or 21st of each month. This will result in a nine-day period of absolute confidentiality.

Although Ning Yuan did not give any explanation at the time, Bai Ze still remembered it in his mind.

This time, Bai Ze chose May 21st to launch a raid on Qamdo City.

So after blocking the news from the front line, the Condor Army had nine days to operate.

After finishing the conversation with Hu Dashan and Hu Dashan, Bai Ze immediately sent Seraph scouts back to Ya'an to inform Xue Guangyi's vampire legion to officially start the Thousand Miles Raid.

In the early morning of May 22nd, the Silver Pegasus Knights, the Ape Man Legion and the Snow Mountain Legion of Huda Mountain left Qamdo City and headed towards Lhasa along the Tea Horse Road.

The Silver Pegasus Legion left the two infantry legions far behind. They used a thousand-man brigade as a unit and took advantage of high altitude to capture every village and town they encountered along the way.

When encountering an enemy city guarded by troops, they would first clear out the enemies outside the city to prevent anyone from escaping and reporting information.

After surrounding the city, they will use air superiority to carry out fixed-point sniper attacks on the enemies on the city wall.

Faced with the almost rogue style of play of the Silver Pegasus Legion, the defenders stationed in the city could only hide in the solid houses with helplessness and reluctance.

The Silver Pegasus knights are all elites who are only one in ten thousand. Even if they dismount their horses, they still possess strong combat effectiveness.

But they were too precious, and Ning Yuan didn't want to see any losses on them.

Therefore, Ning Yuan once issued a military regulation specifically for Silver Pegasus knights: All Silver Pegasus knights are not allowed to dismount and participate in hand-to-hand combat. Even if they die in battle, they must die on their horses. If the person is on the horse, the horse will die. .

With this military rule, as long as the enemy hides in a strong bunker, the Silver Pegasus Knight will have nothing to do with them.

To conquer a city, the Silver Pegasus Knights must cooperate with other infantry legions.

Bai Ze took this into consideration, so the task he gave to the Snow Mountain Legion was to rush and persuade them to surrender.

After removing the enemy's defense on the city wall, the Silver Pegasus Knights quietly waited for the follow-up infantry regiment to follow.

When the ape-man army and the snow mountain army arrived at the city, the ape-man warriors immediately climbed to the city wall through ropes, and then immediately opened the city gate.

As the city gate was opened, the tiger warriors of the Snow Mountain Legion immediately rushed into the city.

As for the cities along the Ancient Tea Horse Road, the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds only deployed heavy troops in Qamdo City.

In other cities, they only deployed some defenders in a symbolic manner, and then Tiger Zhaerri left hundreds of tiger warriors for them in each city to assist them in defense.

Since they were in the hinterland, except for some wild beasts, they did not encounter any danger at all. Therefore, the biggest task of the defenders was to guard the food and grass in the city and be responsible for regularly delivering food and grass to the city in front.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road is a hurdle for the Divine Eagle Army, and the same is true for the Eight Dragons Guild.

It was also very difficult for the Eight Dragon Guilds to transport food and supplies from Lhasa to Qamdo, so Samir regarded every city along the way as a transit station.

He arranged a transportation team in each city, and these transportation teams would regularly transport grain and grass supplies to the city in front.

Each transportation team is responsible for a city. In this way, the originally very difficult transportation work suddenly became a lot easier.

Since the greatest significance of these cities is to serve as transfer stations for grain and grass supplies, in order to reduce the consumption of grain and grass supplies at these transfer stations, there cannot be too many defenders in these cities.

Samir only deployed 2,000 players from the Eight Dragon Guilds in each city, plus 500 tiger warriors responsible for assisting in defense. Each city had approximately 2,500 troops.

In other words, the only ones with real combat effectiveness in these cities are the five hundred tiger warriors.

"I am Hu Dashan, Hu Erduo, take your men and get out of here immediately."

Unfortunately, the tiger defenders in every city on the Tea Horse Road were all soldiers of the Snow Mountain Legion. They only listened to the orders of Hu Dashan, the legion commander who came out of the Snow Mountain tribe.

So when Hu Dashan called out the names of those old subordinates, the only defensive force in the city was the two thousand players from the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds.

Solid buildings can defend against Silver Pegasus knights who are unwilling to dismount, but cannot defend against agile Khajiit warriors.

After the tiger warriors took action, the city quickly fell into the hands of the Condor Army.

After leaving an ape-man army to defend the city, the other legions headed towards the next city on the Tea Horse Road again.

These cities on the Tea Horse Road are not difficult at all for the luxurious Condor Army, and they can be completely captured in basically half an hour.

In fact, the biggest difficulty in this long-distance trip was the problem of traveling.

The Silver Pegasus Knights can ignore the terrain and fly directly from one target to the next, but the soldiers of the Ape Man Legion and Snow Mountain Legion cannot.

They must move forward along the narrow Tea Horse Road.

After the Silver Pegasus Knights helped them deal with the enemies on top of the city, all they had to do to take over the city was Hu Dashan entering the city and shouting, and it wouldn't waste much time at all.

After all, there are more than 20,000 people in the Snow Mountain Legion. Hu Dashan only needs to leave 1,800 tiger warriors to effortlessly destroy the enemies in the city, while the other armies can continue on their way.

It is precisely because there is no difficulty in attacking the city that Bai Ze said that the biggest task of Hu Dashan this time is to bring the Snow Mountain Legion to Lhasa within nine days.
