Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 1113: Lu Chenguang Being Played

After secret talks with James, Lang Xiaotian returned to Zhangzhuang Village and began to prepare for his retreat two days later.

In order to avoid being detected by the Northern Expedition coalition forces outside their intention to retreat, Lang Xiaotian used the construction of a wharf as a deterrent, and directly transferred a large number of awkward bear soldiers to the bank of the Yellow River for stationing.

Lang Xiaotian’s internal explanation was to expand the wharf on the river bank so that the Condor Army on the other side could transport various materials to them.

The soldiers of the Bear Legion undoubtedly have all been involved in the expansion of the wharf. They are not only responsible for the expansion of the wharf, but also for building roads and warehouses near the wharf.

The Yellow River beach where Lang Xiaotian was located was full of farmland, lacking enough building materials, so the Condor Army on the other side of the river used cargo ships to continuously transport stones and wood to them.

The owl scouts of the Northern Expedition Allied Forces detected the actions of the Wolf Xiaotian army on the bank of the Yellow River, and immediately reported everything they had seen to Lu Chenguang, who was on the front line as a law enforcement team.

Hearing that the enemy began to build docks and warehouses on the banks of the Yellow River, Lu Chenguang’s first reaction was that the enemy was going to consume them to the end, so he increased the number of owl scouts while continuing to urge the soldiers on the front lines to speed up the progress. .

Just when Lu Chenguang thought that the enemy and us would be engaged in a long-term infrastructure competition, on the third day, a dense array of warships suddenly appeared in the Yellow River.

A golden condor flag was hung on the flagpoles of all warships, and the leading warship went upstream until the Luoyang section of the Yellow River channel before stopping.

When Lu Chenguang saw a small magic transport ship specializing in transporting personnel and materials docked near the north bank of the Yellow River, his expression was immediately gloomy to the extreme.

What is really afraid of.

They had been worried before that when they assembled a heavy army to attack the Dashi Kingdom, the Condor Army north of the Yellow River would take the opportunity to get in.

So even if they had decided to make a desperate move to counterattack the Dashi Kingdom, they did not relax at all for those ferry crossings on the banks of the Yellow River that could be landed temporarily.

In order to prevent the Condor Army on the other side of the river from crossing the river suddenly, they not only built a large number of watch towers on the banks of the Yellow River, but also deployed heavy troops for defense at many important ferry crossings.

As long as the Condor Army on the other side of the river wanted to cross the river, they would immediately notice it.

However, at this moment, the Condor Army directly placed a dense array of warships in the Yellow River, extending from the Luoyang section of the Yellow River to the Dongming County section of the Yellow River.

The Condor Army prepared so many magic transport ships at once. Are they preparing to launch a full-scale cross-river battle along the entire Yellow River?

With so many magic transport ships working together, I am afraid that it will not be possible to directly transport hundreds of thousands of troops at one time!

If this is the case, can their line of defense on the bank of the Yellow River stop the enemy’s forcible crossing of the river?

“Passing our military order, all the senior officers immediately gathered for a meeting and asked them to temporarily hand over the matters on the construction site to their deputies for handling.”

The situation was urgent. Lu Chenguang no longer had the mind to be a supervisor on the construction site. After ordering a meeting, he hurriedly returned to Yanghuai Village with his subordinates.

Soon, the high-ranking officers of the Northern Expedition Allied Forces scattered in various places once again gathered in Yanghuai Village.

After Lu Chenguang expressed his own concerns, the player officers immediately expressed their opinions. As they said, due to different opinions, a fierce quarrel occurred at the meeting site again.

This time the player officers were clearly divided into two factions, one faction believed that the Condor Army was just bluffing and frightening them.The purpose of the Condor Army is to prevent its own side from attacking the Great Stone Kingdom with all its strength.

Taking the defense line deployed along the Yellow River, only those major ferry ports can accommodate a large number of Condor troops to land at the same time. In other places, let alone troops landing, it is very difficult for ships to approach the shore.

The Condor Army dispatched this time are all small magic transport ships suitable for navigating in the ocean.

Although these magic transport ships have the word “small”, this small is also divided into regions.

In the boundless ocean, even near the coastline, the seawater there is generally tens of meters deep, enough for many large ships to travel and dock there.

The small magic transport ship is indeed small compared with the large warships that are hundreds of meters long, but compared with the ships in the inland rivers, it is a total giant.

After entering the Yellow River waterway, why did the Condor Army only travel to the Luoyang section of the Yellow River and then stop?

Because further forward, those small magic transport ships with small characters in their names are in danger of being stranded.

Although the water volume of the Yellow River is also very abundant, because of the nine bends and eighteen bends of the Yellow River, the entire watercourse is not all high-quality channels. Some places have great drops, and some places are full of various shallows. Large ships simply cannot Passable.

The entire Yellow River waterway began to stabilize only after the Wei River merged into the Yellow River. Therefore, the fleet of small warships of the Condor Army could only go as far as the upper reaches of the Luoyang section of the Yellow River.

However, being able to drive in the Yellow River waterways and being able to dock on the banks of the Yellow River are basically two concepts.

Since the naval ships transferred by the Condor Army belonged to the big guys in the river, only those wharves with deep water could allow them to dock.

In the Yellow River waterway, almost all the docks that meet this condition were guarded by the Northern Expedition Alliance. I am afraid that the warships have already run aground before they can reach the shore.

Therefore, many player officers of the Northern Expedition coalition believe that as long as they can defend those deep-water piers, the Condor Army, which relies on small magic transport ships to transport the army, cannot land on the south bank of the Yellow River on a large scale.

Even if the Condor Army made a forced landing in some humble places, the number of soldiers they could land on would be very limited.

The Northern Expedition Alliance’s watchtowers all over the banks of the Yellow River were prepared for these small groups of troops who had smuggled here.

As long as the Condor Army dared to approach the south bank of the Yellow River, they would immediately be spotted by the sentry in the watchtower.

When the time comes, as long as the Northern Expedition forces stationed nearby rush over as soon as possible, then the small units of the Condor Army who have smuggled over will definitely not be able to make any waves.

Therefore, the players of this faction are very convinced that the Condor Army is definitely a bluff this time. They hope that Lu Chenguang will not be affected by the illusion created by the Condor Army. After all, they have already made quite a deal with the Condor Army on the north bank of the Yellow River. Completely arranged.

Now they only need to brake statically and watch the changes, there is no need to be overly nervous.

The player officer of the other faction thinks that the Condor Army must have come prepared.

The Condor Army is fighting against Hubei and Henan this time. It is impossible for every place to be bluffing!

Since everyone believed that the real goal of the Condor Army was the Eastern Henan Plain, after making targeted arrangements and starting to counterattack the orc army that had suppressed the Great Stone Kingdom, the Condor Army would certainly not stand idly by.

Because the Dashi Kingdom and the Shenying Empire wear a pair of trousers, they are the spokespersons of the Shenying Empire on the south side of the Yellow River.

If the Great Stone Kingdom collapses, then the Condor Army will probably not be so easy to get involved in the area south of the Yellow River, so they will find ways to keep the spokesperson of the Great Stone Kingdom anyway.

The Condor Army wanted to support the Dashi Kingdom but there were so many marching routes.

One is to land from the land of the Dashi Kingdom, and then cooperate with the army of the Dashi Kingdom to counterattack.

The other is to land from Jiangsu, and then march to the Anhui region, threatening their defense line from the south with the Anhui region as a base.

Another is to directly cross the Yellow River from the north bank of the Yellow River and launch an offensive against some of the major cities of the Northern Expedition Alliance, making them feel uncomfortable.

Each of these three options has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of the first option is that the Condor Army can easily enter the territory of the Dashi Kingdom, and then quickly assemble to the front line.

The disadvantage is that the Condor Army has to march for a long distance after landing, their logistics supply line will be very long, and they may not be able to transport to the frontline area in time.

After all, there is only one route, and the orc army of the Great Stone Kingdom also needs to use that transportation route.

Relying on the same route and fixed means of transportation, even if it is round-the-clock transportation in the rear, it is difficult to guarantee all the logistical needs of the two armies at the same time.

If logistical supplies are not available, the front-line army will be greatly affected, so it is unlikely that the Condor Army will join the Dashi Kingdom in eastern Shandong.

The advantage of the second option is that the Condor Army can travel to Bozhou and other places unimpeded, putting tremendous pressure on the Northern Expedition Alliance.

Since there is no natural danger to defend on the entire Yudong Plain, as long as the Condor Army wants to attack from the south, they can attack all the cities at the junction of Henan and Anhui, and they can even bloom at multiple points at the same time.

If the cavalry regiment deployed by the Northern Expedition Alliance in the southern area of ​​the Eastern Henan Plain were suppressed by the Condor Army, then the entire Eastern Henan Plain would become the back garden of the Condor Army Cavalry Corps.

When the time comes, they will come and leave if they want, and everyone in the Northern Expedition Alliance can only hide in the city and pay their attention silently.

The disadvantage is that Anhui and Jiangsu have been abandoned for a long time, and the logistics supply of the Condor Army is a huge problem.

In order to confront the Northern Expedition Alliance on the Great Plains, the Condor Army must transfer a large number of troops, otherwise they will not be able to break through the Northern Expedition Alliance’s defense line in the south.

Except for some fields near the city, the whole Anhui and Jiangsu are full of overgrown scenes of weeds.

The player lords who took refuge in Ning Yuan simply couldn’t take out the extra food to supply a huge Condor Army, so the Condor Army had to provide their own food and grass if they wanted to support the Great Stone Kingdom in the south.

Now the entire Yangtze and Yellow River basins are about to enter the rainy season, and ground transportation will be more difficult at that time.

Such long-distance logistics transportation in the rainy season is a very huge test for the Condor Army.

The Anhui area is densely covered with rivers, and various floods often occur in the rainy season. If a certain river suddenly soars and stops the logistics transportation convoy of the Condor Army, then the Condor Army on the front line may be hungry.

In addition, the Lujiang area in southern Anhui is still in the hands of the Northern Expedition Alliance. If the Condor Army wants to attack Henan from Anhui, their backs will be exposed to the Northern Expedition Alliance’s garrison in Lujiang and other places.

If the Lujiang garrison sent a cavalry death squad into the hinterland of Anhui, the logistics supply line of the Condor Army would be in danger.

So no matter how you look at it, the second option will do more harm than good for the current Condor Army.

The advantage of the third option is the short distance. As long as the Condor Army can successfully land, then their follow-up army and logistics supplies can be transported quickly.At the same time, several major cities of the Northern Expedition Alliance, such as Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, are located near the Yellow River.

These heavy cities are not only their military headquarters, but also important areas where they stock up on food and supplies.

If these heavy cities fall, Luoyang, which is located in the mountains, will become a lone city, and other cities on the Eastern Henan Plain will also face a huge threat from the Condor Army.

At this time, if the Condor Army sends their powerful cavalry regiment into the Eastern Henan Plain, the scene from the Songnen Plain of the Eagleshoe Empire will be replayed on the Eastern Henan Plain.

If all this comes true, then all the remnants of the Northern Expedition Alliance will have to retreat to the Nanyang Basin and Hubei area and rely on the Dabie Mountains and Funiu Mountains to survive.

The disadvantage is that under the focus of the Northern Expedition Alliance, it is not so easy for the Condor Army to land on the southern bank of the Yellow River.

Just like what another player said, the Northern Expedition Alliance has deployed heavy troops to guard each ferry. Even if it pays a heavy price, it is difficult for the Condor Army to land.

This third choice is not a good choice at first glance, but if you consider the possibilities after the successful landing, then this choice is undoubtedly the most labor-saving and most effective one.

Although the Yellow River defense line of the Northern Expedition Alliance is inexhaustible, but not afraid of 10,000, just in case, what if the Condor Army has unexpected means?

You should know that under Ning Yuan’s hand, there is a special force of the Dragon which is composed of players who have obtained the blood of the Dragon.

Now those dragon warriors have neither appeared in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau region, nor in the Jiāng Liú region, so what should they do if they suddenly appear in the Yellow River Basin?

Although the Dragon Warriors are a strategic unit, they can’t attack from the front when facing a large army, but the combination of the Dragon Warriors and the Mermaid Warriors is a perfect match.

The dragon fighters are responsible for large areas of rainfall and create a powerful fighting environment for the mermaid fighters.

The mermaid fighters are responsible for the frontal charge. In the downpour, the Northern Expedition Alliance has no units that can fight against it.

Once encountered this situation, they can only hide themselves in the defense.

Of course, with a solid line of defense, they still have the ability to withstand the attack of the Mermaid Legion, but again, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of accidents. What if the Condor Army has other means?

Once a ferry is lost, it will surely cause a series of chain reactions, making them passivity everywhere.

So in the face of such a fanfare action by the Condor Army, they must not take it lightly, and must give the other party enough attention.

Publicly speaking, the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable. The analysis of the two players is very reasonable, which makes it difficult for Lu Chenguang to make a final decision at a moment.

In the end, based on the principle of doing more harmlessly, Lu Chenguang finally decided to increase troops immediately to strengthen the defense force of the Yellow River defense line.

He would rather transfer some troops away and sacrifice some progress in the project, but also strive to ensure the absolute safety of the Yellow River defense line.

After Lu Chenguang issued the order, the Northern Expedition Allied Forces located in various parts of Henan immediately took action, and a large number of army and cavalry troops went to station and patrol along the Yellow River one after another.

However, the Northern Expedition Alliance had just made targeted arrangements, and a new situation had occurred on the Condor Army side.

Just one night later, all the Condor fleet that had docked on the north bank of the Yellow River disappeared, along with the 200,000 orc army led by Lang Xiaotian.

When Lu Chenguang, who received the news, rushed to Zhangzhuang Village, looking at the deserted camp, he finally couldn’t bear it anymore, and directly cursed his mother.
