Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

Whether Lhasa is a necessary place on the Tang-Tibet ancient road or the base camp of Tiger Zhairi, it is very important to Tiger Zhairi, so he must return to the army to rescue him.

Even though he knew that the city of Lhasa at this time had probably been captured by the Divine Eagle Army, Hu Zhairi still had to lead his army to recapture it, because he could not afford a series of serious consequences of losing the city of Lhasa.

After Hu Xiaotian died in battle, the powerful Linhai Empire completely fell apart overnight.

As the legal heir of Hu Xiaotian, Hu Zhairi now only has the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in his hands.

Although the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is huge, most of the plateau is uninhabited land, and there is very little land suitable for human settlement.

Places suitable for human settlement in Qinghai are mainly concentrated in the Hehuang Valley, the areas surrounding Qinghai Lake and the southeastern region of Qinghai.

Places suitable for human settlement in Tibet are mainly concentrated along the Yarlung Zangbo River, in eastern Tibet and in southern Tibet.

Now that the most fertile Hehuang Valley has been captured by the Shenying Army, only some counties around the Yellow River are left in the Qinghai region.

The southern Tibetan region of Tibet is located on the southern slope of the Himalayas. It is warm and humid all year round and has excellent water and heat conditions. It is the northernmost tropical region in the world.

It is warm and rainy, with an average annual rainfall of more than 9,000 millimeters. It is one of the areas with the highest rainfall in the world. Many subtropical crops can be grown there. It is so fertile that it is called the "Jiangnan" of Tibet.

Most of the population and cultivated land in Tibet are distributed in southern Tibet and eastern Tibet.

After losing the Hehuang Valley, if Hu Zhairi still wants to restore his country, he must always maintain the size of his army.

If you want to raise a sizable army, the fertile southern Tibet region is essential.

Gangdise Mountains and Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains divide the entire Tibet into two. If you want to enter the fertile southern Tibet, Lhasa is the only way to pass, so no matter what, you must regain control of the Lhasa area. Destroy the invading Condor Army.

In order to recapture Lhasa, Tiger Zhairi handed over the defense task of Sun Moon City to his deputy, and then personally led the 30,000 Tiger Army and 50,000 Owl Army on their way home.

Originally, there was an army of nearly one million Indian players to the south of Sun Moon City. Tiger Picking Japan could lead more troops to return reinforcements.

But the distance from Sun Moon City to Lhasa is really too far.

The more troops returning to support, the slower the march will be.

Hu Zhairi was very anxious now. He just wanted to rush back to Lhasa as soon as possible and recapture it. He couldn't stand the slow march at all.

And what kind of troops the eight Tianlong Guilds are, Tiger Picking the Sun knows very well.

The troops that the Divine Eagle Army invaded this time must be elite. The troops from the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds will not only not be able to help much, but may also hinder the Tiger Army.

Therefore, instead of leading their slow march, it is better to lead an elite force back directly and use the elite against the elite.

As for the 50,000 owl army, it was entirely to deal with the Silver Pegasus Army of the Condor Army.

In this way, Hu Zhairi led an army of 80,000 people to Lhasa, traveling lightly and day and night.

After learning that an army of nearly 100,000 people suddenly left the Sun Moon City area, the Seraph scouts of the Condor Army immediately followed them secretly.

When Hu Zhairi led the army to successfully cross the Bayan Har Mountains, the Seraph scouts immediately returned to Sun Moon City and told Ning Yuan the news.

Ning Yuan was overjoyed when he heard that Hu Zhairi personally led his troops to return reinforcements and had successfully entered the Yushu area.

While he asked the participating troops in the city to increase their attack intensity, he also sent people to notify Ma Wanli and others to close the net.

The Tang-Tibet Ancient Road and the Tea-Horse Ancient Road are the two main passages from the Central Plains of China to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

In addition to these two ancient roads, if you want to enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, you must climb mountains and ridges.

Crossing mountains and ridges to enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a very difficult challenge for some adventurers. If you are not careful, you may end up sleeping on the way, let alone the army.

Everyone knows that the ground army wants to enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and there is no other way except the Tang-Tibet Ancient Road and the Tea-Horse Road.

If you want to cross the mountains and ridges to get in, then it is very likely that the entire army will be buried in the vast mountains.

However, some people do not believe in this evil and want to do the opposite.

This person is Ning Yuan.

After retracing Deng Ai's route to Shu, Ning Yuan never forgot about bypassing Riyue City and heading directly into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road can lead directly to Lhasa, the hinterland of Tibet, but if you want to go around to the back of Riyue City, the distance is really too far.

So Ning Yuan decided to send an army to cross the Qilian Mountains and enter the Qinghai area to hide, and then suddenly rush out from behind the enemy at the critical moment, and cooperate with the Chinese player army north of Sun Moon City to attack the enemy from front to back.

This idea is very good. Once implemented, it will definitely catch the enemy by surprise, but in practice it is simply difficult to achieve.

The Qilian Mountains are covered with strange peaks and dangerous rocks. Even the best local hunters would find it difficult to climb them, let alone a large army.

Originally, Ning Yuan just had a sudden idea and mentioned it casually, so he didn't take it to heart at all. After all, he himself was very aware of the difficulty involved.

However, he ignored his identity.

He is now the founding emperor of the Condor Empire. As the founding emperor, every word and word he speaks will be remembered by his subordinates.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When the news reached the ears of Ma Wanli and others, some people began to take it seriously.

This person is Xiong Dalin.

Although Xiong Dalin once helped the Condor Army successfully capture the Tiger King City, and he also received awards from Ning Yuan, in fact, Xiong Dalin's first show was a failure.

After the Battle of Tiger King City, Xiong Dalin, Ma Wanli and others settled in Tiger King City.

Every day they are either hunting the red-horned goats that ran out of Chiyang Mountain, or they are conducting daily combat training in the square. This time the battle to defend the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has nothing to do with them.

Although he has officially become a leading general of the Condor Empire, Xiong Dalin has always been worried about the failure of his first show.

The thing he thinks about the most every day is when he can continue to lead his army to fight, clear the name of the bear warriors in the Tarim Basin, and wash away the shame of his debut.

Xiong Dalin became interested when he was chatting with Ma Wanli and others and heard Ma Wanli tell the news that Ningyuan wanted to send an army to cross the Qilian Mountains and go behind the enemy to launch a surprise attack.

Xiong Dalin once entered the Qilian Mountains for hunting when he was young. At that time, he got lost in the mountains while chasing a large wild boar.

After being unable to find the way back, Xiong Dalin began to go down the mountain along a waterway washed out by flash floods.

I don’t know how long they walked, but a big river suddenly appeared in front of Xiong Dalin.

This is a big river flowing from east to west. Xiong Dalin walked west along the river bank. He drank a sip of river water when he was thirsty and took two bites of the big pig leg carried on his back when he was hungry.

I don’t know how long he walked, but Xiong Dalin finally walked out of the Qilian Mountains alive.

The mountain where Xiong Dalin got lost is called Danghe Nanshan, and the big river at the foot of the mountain is called Danghe.

Xiong Dalin had already forgotten about this incident. After hearing Ning Yuan's whimsical idea, he immediately remembered the adventure of his youth.

After careful consideration, Xiong Dalin believed that as long as the army's logistical problems could be solved, they could go upstream and enter the Qinghai area from the mountains on both sides of the Dang River.

When Xiong Dalin told Ma Wanli and others about this idea, he immediately received approval from several people.

After a heated discussion, several people found out several of the difficulties.

As long as those difficulties can be solved one by one, they can successfully cross the Qilian Mountains and enter the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The first difficulty is logistics.

When the army enters the mountains, each soldier can carry a very limited amount of food. If you don't want the army to starve to death in the deep mountains and old forests, you must ensure smooth logistics and transportation.

The second difficulty is the difficulty of traveling.

The terrain on both sides of the Dang River is very steep, and it will be very difficult for the army to advance along the river valley bit by bit.

Since the river valley is impassable, the only option is to take the high mountains on both sides of the Dang River.

To the north of Danghe River is Yema Nanshan Mountain, and to the south is Danghe Mountain. Both mountains face east and west, sandwiching Danghe River in the middle.

The third difficulty is confidentiality.

Strange soldiers, strange soldiers, what are strange soldiers?

Only surprise can be called a surprise attack. If the enemy discovers it in advance, the effect of surprise attack will be lost.

When a few people reported the idea of ​​this surprise soldier going to the plateau to Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan quickly gave a reply.

Regarding the first difficulty, Ning Yuan believes that it is not a big problem.

Since no logistical supplies can be transported on the ground, it would be better to simply hand over the task of transporting logistical supplies to the flying corps.

Now the only ones who can easily cross the Qilian Mountains are the Flying Legion.

Although the amount of food the Flying Legion can carry at a time is very limited, the advantage is that they can deliver it several times a day.

After finding the location of Danghe on the big map, Ning Yuan immediately transferred the Swan Legion to the Subei area.

Swan warriors are the best logistics unit. In addition to transporting various supplies to the army, they can also catch some fish from nearby rivers and lakes to improve the food for the soldiers.

There are many fish in the Dang River, and there is a large lake at the end of it - Hala Lake.

Hala Lake is a large saltwater lake. The lake is rich in Qinghai Lake naked carp. There is no human habitation there, which is very suitable for the army to hide there.

Regarding the second difficulty, Ning Yuan racked his brains and couldn't come up with a good solution.

In the end, he could only transfer a team of ape warriors who were good at clearing roads to Ma Wanli and others, hoping that those ape warriors could open an easy path for the army.

As for the issue of confidentiality, it is even simpler.

Ning Yuan directly dispatched a large number of Silver Pegasus knights to patrol the mountains. Once a situation is discovered, they will immediately carry out targeted elimination.

After successfully resolving the three difficulties, Ning Yuan immediately appointed Ma Wanli as the commander-in-chief of the raid and Xiong Dalin as the deputy commander-in-chief.

Since the plan is to launch a surprise attack deep behind enemy lines, if the number of troops brought is too small, the surprise attack plan will have a high chance of failure.

And if too many troops are brought over, it will increase the pressure on the Swan Legion.

Therefore, it is still very particular about how many troops to bring over in the end.

After a heated discussion, everyone finally decided to bring a total of 20,000 warriors for the raid, half of which were Centaur warriors and Ursine warriors.

Although bear warriors and centaur warriors are not suitable for walking on such rugged mountain roads, considering the power of these two legions on the wild battlefield, no matter how difficult the road is, these two legions must be safe. Take it with you.

After the ape warriors responsible for opening the road conducted some exploration, the surprise army of 20,000 people began to move southeast along the Yema Nan Mountain.

In order to be able to travel better, the two legions were all lightly armed, and all the soldiers did not even have a weapon on them.

They have to rely on the food dropped by the Swan Legion every day to survive. As for their own safety, they are completely left to the escorting Silver Pegasus knights.

In this way, 20,000 big men marched hard on the rugged mountain roads every day, and it took them two full months to reach the shore of Lake Hala.

After the surprise attack legion arrived at the shores of Lake Hala, the Swan Legion first captured a large number of Qinghai Lake naked carp for them, and then helped them transport weapons and equipment from Subei.

After they were all ready together, they stayed quietly by the Hala Lake, waiting for Ning Yuan's next order.

When Ning Yuan's order to start action was passed, Ma Wanli and Xiong Dalin immediately led the surprise attack army and ran towards Delingha.

With the help of the Silver Pegasus Knight and the Dragon Eagle Knight, the surprise attack army easily broke through the city gate of Delingha.

After a brief repair in Delingha, they rushed to Ulan City in the southeast.

After capturing Ulan City, they rushed non-stop to Gonghe City, south of Sun Moon City.

In the Republic area, a fierce battle broke out between the surprise attack army and the Indian player army defending there.

Facing an enemy that was several times larger than his own, Ma Wanli led 10,000 centaur warriors to directly launch a desperate charge against the enemy formation.

Under the double attack of javelins and arrows, the defensive array set up by the Indian players was completely broken in an instant.

After losing the cover of the formation, Indian players no longer have any ability to fight back.

Under the pursuit of the Centaur Legion, they fled towards the direction of Sun Moon City in embarrassment.

In order not to give the enemy any breathing space, Ma Wanli led the Centaur Legion to pursue them all the way, and Xiong Dalin led the Bear Man Legion to follow closely.

As this army suddenly came out from behind enemy lines and got closer and closer to Sun Moon City, the real battle of Sun Moon City was about to begin.
