Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 1159

The two towns on the east side of the Colorful Bridge are right next to Dadingzi Mountain and Taohua Mountain. There are not only trees that can make trebuchets, but also inexhaustible stones.

As long as Lu Chenguang mobilized a team of craftsmen over, he could immediately rush to make trebuchets and stone bombs of various specifications in the two towns.

Everything on the mountain is ready-made, they only need to contribute some people and spend some time by the way, so the offensive plan proposed by Sun Junyi went directly into Lu Chenguang’s heart.

After asking other people and discovering that they didn’t have any good suggestions, Lu Chenguang directly chose the offensive plan proposed by Sun Junyi.

While sending people to mobilize more artisans, he continued to increase troops to Luqiao Town, preparing to fight a time-consuming war of attrition with the Dashi Kingdom.

……

“Your Majesty, now the Great Stone Kingdom and the Northern Expedition coalition forces are facing each other in the Taiping Town area on the east bank of Dushan Lake. Both of them have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and countless grain, grass and materials there. It looks like they want to fight. In a protracted battle, the winner will be determined by one battle.”

In Taiping Town, although the Northern Expeditionary Forces and the Dashi Kingdom have not yet fully fought, both of them have gone on a one-way street, and no one can withdraw. This war is destined to be inevitable.

When Ning Yuan, who was in Nanzhang County, learned of the latest information, he let out a long breath.

During the period when the Northern Expedition Allied Forces fought against the Dashi Kingdom, Ning Yuan was suffering.

In order to cope with the strategy of the five brothers of the Xiao family on the east line of the Yangtze River, Ning Yuan has been firmly holding 300,000 monkeys in the narrow and long valley of Nanzhang County.

Although the grumpy macaques have been able to constrain a lot through the last time they killed the monkeys, they are still monkeys.

Driven by a strong curiosity, the monkeys who have learned how to behave like a tiger are very interested in everything in the valley.

They often walked around in the valley with their own mouths, and found something interesting. All of a sudden, the family immediately swarmed them, and then a lot of furry palms and feet stretched out in a hurry.

Everyone in the valley knows that these monkeys are his Majesty’s dear ones. They cannot go directly to Ning Yuan to complain because they were harassed by the monkeys. Therefore, as long as the harassment of the monkeys is not excessive, they all chose temporarily. endure.

Monkeys are creatures that push their noses on their faces. They are like four or five-year-old humans. They have no idea of ​​right and wrong.

When the soldiers of the Condor Empire in the valley chose not to be familiar with them, the monkeys naively thought that they were right to do so, and then they became more vigorous.

Ever since, in the entire valley of Nanzhang County, there are monkeys all over the place. Except for the courtyard where Ning Yuan lives, they can go wherever they want in the entire valley, just like a group of gangsters in the village. People dare to provoke.

Ning Yuan also knew that monkeys were very active, and he couldn’t paint a prison for them to stay in one place for a long time without moving.So as long as the monkeys didn’t cause any trouble for him, he simply started to open one eye and close the other, without seeing it.

Ning Yuan could have accepted it all the time, but as time passed, they soon encountered new troubles.

Although Ning Yuan led the Condor Army to seize a large amount of food and grass materials in Nanzhang County and Baokang County, the food consumed by the 170,000 flying legions and 300,000 monkeys every day is an astronomical number.

Every time they waited in Nanzhang County, the grain in the granary would drop by a large amount. If the Northern Expedition coalition army and the Dashi Kingdom have been there forever, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold it first.

After Ning Yuan personally changed the strategy, he and the five brothers of the Xiao family all had to wait for the battle on the Eastern Henan Plain to become a fierce state before they could act, otherwise it would very likely give the Northern Expedition Alliance a chance to withdraw in time.

Therefore, they must continue to wait until no one on the Yudong Plain can get out easily.

In order to alleviate a possible food crisis, Ning Yuan simply directly divided the Flying Corps into three parts.

Every day, a flying corps flies over Bashan to the Sichuan Basin to replenish food. They will spend the night in the Sichuan Basin. After breakfast the next day, they will return to Nanzhang County with a small bag of rice noodles.

Although the weight of the materials that the Flying Corps can carry is very limited, their movement to and from the Sichuan Basin can save Nanzhang County a lot of food, allowing the 300,000 monkeys in Nanzhang County to persist for a while.

The food in Nanzhang County has been saved, but the food in the Sichuan Basin is being consumed sharply, and more than usual. Because the soldiers fly back and forth every day, the soldiers consume a lot and eat naturally. More than usual.

Ning Yuan also knew that doing so would not only greatly consume the strength of the flying legion, but also waste more food, but in order to wait, he seemed to have no choice.

Looking at the tired faces of the soldiers of the Flying Legion, Ning Yuan suffered every day. Fortunately, the Emperor paid off, and they finally didn’t have to do this kind of useless effort to fly back and forth over the mountains.

The latest news that Seraph’s scout brought back to Ning Yuan really made him very excited, and he was almost depressed waiting for the news.

After taking a deep breath and calming down his excitement, Ning Yuan asked calmly: “Has the Dashi Kingdom come out this time?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, the Dashi Kingdom has transferred almost all the adult men in the country to the frontline area this time, and then arranged most of the main force around Taiping Town.

Now there is basically no decent army in the area east of Mount Tai in the Great Stone Kingdom. There are baby soldiers and temporary patrols composed of orcs and women everywhere. ”

“What about the Northern Expedition Alliance? Are they also coming out?”

After getting an answer he wanted to hear, Ning Yuan continued to ask.

“Your Majesty, most of the troops on the Northern Expedition Alliance are still on the west bank of the Grand Canal. Because the Dashi Kingdom troops in the cities of Heze and Dongming are still holding on, most of the infantry of the Northern Expedition Alliance is surrounding these cities. .

Although the Northern Expedition Alliance did not mobilize those ordinary legions, they transferred all the elite legions under their hands to the west bank of Nanyang Lake. Now there are more than two hundred thousand elite legions to the east bank through the Colorful Bridge.

At present, the 200,000 elite of the Northern Expedition Alliance are facing the Dashi Kingdom in the southwest of Taiping Town. It has been several days, and neither of them has any intention of doing anything.

The Great Stone Kingdom seems to have made up their minds to defend Taiping Town firmly. If the enemy does not attack, they will stop silently.

And the Northern Expedition coalition forces didn’t seem to be very anxious, they were transporting various materials to the front area every day.

By the way, Your Majesty, the day before my departure, the Northern Expedition Army suddenly sent tens of thousands of people into the mountains to cut trees and mine stones.

The trees and stones that were cut down were all transported to Luqiao Town, and now Luqiao Town is full of wood and stones. ”

The Seraphim scout gave Ning Yuan a detailed introduction to the situation of the Northern Expedition coalition forces during this period, and also informed Ning Yuan of some new discoveries.

Hearing that the Northern Expedition coalition forces were cutting down trees and mining stones on a large scale, Ning Yuan was shocked in his heart, and he thought of a very unfavorable possibility.

If the Northern Expedition coalition forces are simply cutting down trees, then they probably want to use those timbers to build camps and have a better confrontation with the Great Stone Kingdom.

But now they are not only cutting down trees, but also mining a lot of stones. There is almost only one possibility, that is, the Northern Expedition Alliance wants to make catapults on site in Luqiao Town, and then use the catapults to bombard the guards of the Great Stone Kingdom. Taiping Town.

Ning Yuan knew everything about Dashi Kingdom.

The Great Stone Kingdom is well-known for being able to conquer orc ground regiments, the most famous of which are the Bearmen Heavy Infantry Corps and the Wolf Cavalry Corps.

Now, Wolf Xiaotian has abducted more than half of the bearmen heavy infantry and all the wolf cavalry in the Dashi Kingdom, and now the Dashi Kingdom has only the 60,000 bear guards and others. Werewolf Infantry Regiment.

Almost all of the cavalry crossbows provided by the Condor Empire to the Dashi Kingdom are on the wolf cavalry. After losing that batch of cavalry crossbows, the long-range attack ability of the Dashi Kingdom is basically zero, and they can only engage in close-range combat with the enemy.

The current Dashi Kingdom is like a high school student with a severely partial discipline. They have outstanding melee combat capabilities, but they hardly have any long-range attack methods.

If it is the offensive side, then their shortcomings are not particularly obvious.

But if, as a defensive party, they lack the long-range attack method, they can only be led by the nose by the enemy who has the long-range attack method.

Long-range attack is a very important means of killing the enemy when defending. Without long-range attack capability, you still have to defend a certain place. This is definitely standing there as a living target for the enemy and letting the enemy take what we want.

Because the bears are not invincible in their heavy infantry, they can withstand the attacks of long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, but cannot withstand the boulders thrown by the catapult.

Once hit by a boulder, even if their skin is thick and thick, they will be smashed into a pool of mud.

So if the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expedition coalition forces were to fight in such a step-by-step manner, the troops that the Dashi Kingdom finally gathered would be consumed by the Northern Expedition coalition forces sooner or later.Although Ning Yuan had already given up the Dashi Kingdom, what he wanted to see was that the Dashi Kingdom and the Northern Expedition Alliance were both defeated, rather than seeing the Dashi Kingdom being unilaterally crushed by the Northern Expedition Alliance.

So after guessing that the Northern Expedition coalition forces were rushing to build a large number of catapults and wanted to use them to kill the main force of the Great Stone Kingdom in Taiping Town, Ning Yuan knew that he had to intervene immediately.

Otherwise, once the only remaining Bear Guards in the Dashi Kingdom were wiped out by the Northern Expedition, the Dashi Kingdom would no longer be able to stop the advance of the Northern Expedition.

If that time comes, the Condor Army who has been sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight will not come to clean up the mess, but will fight the morale of the Northern Expedition Allied Forces head-on.

So in what way should I intervene in this war?

Now Xiong Dashi has evacuated the orc army east of Mount Tai, making it clear that he will not take advantage of it.

In the past, Xiong Dashi once rejected the request of the Condor Army to enter the Dashi Kingdom to help them fight, so now he will refuse the request of the Condor Army to enter the Dashi Kingdom to fight?

After analyzing Xiong Dashi’s character in detail, Ning Yuan shook his head helplessly, with a clear answer in his heart.

The current Xiong Dashi is a gunpowder keg that may explode on the spot at any time. Since he refused the request of the Condor Army to cooperate in combat without hesitation before, he still would not agree to let the Condor Army enter the country. Combat.

Because it’s easy to ask the gods to give them away. Once the Condor Army enters the Dashi Kingdom on a large scale, it will not be so easy to let them go out. After all, Ning Yuan is not a livelier. Related people shed blood and sacrifice.

It is very possible that as soon as the Northern Expedition coalition forces were defeated, the Condor Army directly turned their back feet and replaced Xiong Dashi, turning the Kingdom of Dashi into a county of the Condor Empire.

In fact, Ning Yuan had always thought this way, but it was a pity that Xiong Dashi didn’t give him such an opportunity at all.

Now the entire hinterland of the Dashi Kingdom is very empty. As long as Ning Yuan thinks about it, then the ready-to-go Condor Army can immediately occupy most of the Dashi Kingdom.

It’s just that if Ning Yuan really did this, Xiong Dashi, who was ashamed and furious, would most likely plunge directly into the arms of the Northern Expedition Alliance and fight against the Condor Army with the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Therefore, as a last resort, Ning Yuan did not want to use such radical methods to stimulate Xiong Dashi, because Xiong Dashi’s influence in the entire Shandong area is too great, as long as he stands up and raises his arms, countless orcs will gather. His subordinates.

The Condor Army was unable to intervene personally, so if they wanted to help the Great Stone Kingdom’s army to deal with the Northern Expedition Allied Forces’ trebuchet bombing tactics, it seemed that there was only one way left for the artisan group to support.

However, if Ning Yuan really sends a team of craftsmen to help the Dashi Kingdom build trebuchets on the spot, then based on Xiong Dashi’s desire for skilled craftsmen, the fate of this group of craftsmen is likely to be that meat buns and dogs have gone.

Every craftsman group that can craft all kinds of siege equipment is also very precious to the Condor Empire, so Ning Yuan just thought about it, and then immediately rejected this idea.

Sending troops directly to the battle Xiong Dashi would not agree. He sent a team of craftsmen to support Ning Yuan and was reluctant. Then Ning Yuan didn’t want to watch the kingdom of Dashi being tactically crushed by the Northern Expedition. For a while, he was so embarrassed that his brows were almost squeezed. Go together.

Just when Ning Yuan was frowned upon by this problem, a big male monkey with a bare head dangled past the big tree outside the courtyard wall.

After seeing the big male monkey, Ning Yuan suddenly laughed happily. At that moment, he finally thought of how to support Xiong Dashi.
