Chapter 1187, the new situation
After the game started again, both the Northern Expedition and the Condor Empire took action immediately.
On the Northern Expedition Alliance, the Zuo Yu flag appeared in front of Taiping Town where the Northern Expedition Alliance fought fiercely with the Dashi Kingdom. A Northern Expedition Alliance delegation was in charge of negotiations quickly entered Taiping Town along the passageway where the bear soldiers made way.
After half a day, the messenger team walked out of Taiping Town, and then the Northern Expedition Alliance began to retreat on a large scale.
A week later, all the Northern Expedition forces on the east bank of the Grand Canal retreated back to the west bank.
Another week later, the Northern Expedition Alliance withdrew from the Heze area.
As the Orc Legion of the Dashi Kingdom returned to Heze, the border between the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom returned to its original state.
......
The day after the game started again, nearly 100,000 owl army appeared in Wuhan, and then a large number of troops appeared there one after another.
As more and more troops near the two cities of Hankou and Wuchang gathered, the Condor Navy located in the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River had to temporarily evacuate there. While sending people to closely monitor the abnormal movements of the enemy in Wuhan, they reported to Ningyuan urgently.
In the primeval forests on the border between Vietnam and Guangxi, with the arrival of the player legion between the enemy and us, the war quickly began to burn.
Because the Condor Empire adopted the tactic of waiting for labor and waiting for the rabbit, all the players and mercenaries hired by the Northern Expedition Alliance came through mountains and rivers, exhausted both physically and mentally.
Therefore, in the early stage of the battle, basically the players from the Condor Heroes Empire had the advantage. With their number and physical strength advantages, they successfully killed many enemy players.
However, as many player masters arrive one after another, the situation on the battlefield begins to become more and more anxious. Every day, many players will be killed on both sides of the enemy and us.
Although the mercenaries of the Northern Expedition Alliance have never been able to break through the jungle defense line of the Condor Heroes Empire, many players who come to make money have tasted great sweetness.
Each time a player warrior from the Condor Empire is killed, they can get a reward of 200 copper coins. This is absolutely no different from picking up money for some skilled players.
According to news from the Adventurer World, a human player with excellent archery skills sniped and killed fifty-three players from the Condor Empire in one day, and obtained a total of 10,600 copper coins, equivalent to 10,600 earth coins.
Although this human player was eventually killed by players from the Condor Heroes because of his arrows shooting light, he had already made a lot of money.
It is said that after he was reborn, he immediately spent a high price to buy a genius race transformation scroll. After all his attributes were raised to full value, he would immediately rush to the front line to harvest the heads.
The power of role models is infinite. After seeing someone successfully earning the first pot of gold, many powerful Mavericks players have teleported from the adventurer world to Guangxi, and they also want to use their superb skills to make a small fortune in war.
Among the Mavericks who came to Guangxi, the most players use bows and arrows.
Because in the dense rainforest, sneak attacks with bows and arrows cost the smallest and the greatest results are achieved.
As long as the players are well concealed, shoot accurately, and carry a full range of arrows, they can basically make a fortune.
Although there are many masters among the players who join the Condor Heroes Empire, most of those masters have now joined the Tenglong Army.
Among the remaining players, there are also some players with good skills, but not many of them are good at using bows.
So after facing the cold arrows flying everywhere in the jungle, the casualties of players on the Condor Heroes Empire began to increase rapidly.
The players of the Northern Expedition Alliance originally planned to quickly get rich by slaughtering villages, but as players from the Condor Empire fought a war of attrition with them on the edge of the jungle, their goals soon focused on the legion of players of the Condor Empire.
The number of indigenous people in a village is limited. After killing all the people in the village, they still have to work hard to find the next village.
Moreover, the indigenous people are not fools, they will stand there waiting for them to kill. I guess those people will immediately abandon the village and flee as soon as they hear any movement.
If you are unlucky, it is likely that the waiting for them will be an empty village.
The defense lines arranged by the Condor Empire player legion on the edge of the jungle are different.
Whenever the number of player soldiers on the defense line is greatly reduced, the Condor Empire will quickly add a new group of player troops to come.
In order to prevent them from rushing out of the jungle, the players on the side of the Condor Heroes were all fierce and desperate to repel their attacks.
Originally, they were still worried about being unable to break through the player defense line arranged by the Condor Heroes Empire, but with more and more archers appearing, many players have begun to hope to maintain this state for a long time.
Because the closer the defense line of the Condor Empire is to Guangxi, the shorter the time they will rush back to the battlefield, and in this way, the more efficient they will be in harvesting heads.
Originally, players hired mercenaries to harvest heads all by relying on their own skills, but as more and more masters of bows appeared, those players who only know how to fight melee immediately stopped doing it.
Because their own shooting skills are very poor, every time they want to hunt enemy players, they must rush over and fight with the enemy.
In hand-to-hand combat, the sword has no eyes. If it is not a particularly powerful one, players who can harvest one or two heads are basically experts, because there are still many players who have died before harvesting the heads.
This was a very normal situation. On the battlefield, you killed me and I killed you.
However, as more and more players who made the bow followed them and fired cold arrows to seize their military achievements, those who only knew how to fight melee suddenly became unbalanced.
Why do they fight to the death in front, but those guys pick up ready-made ones behind?
As more and more players have this idea, the mercenaries of players from the Northern Expedition Alliance suddenly started to have internal conflicts.
Melee players found those who only follow their butts to pick up cheap players, and asked them to take out half of their military achievements to them, otherwise they would not be allowed to follow them.
Faced with such unreasonable requests from melee players, the Mavericks who made the bow certainly could not agree, so they fought themselves first after disagreement.
Faced with the encirclement of their own people, those masters made the archer's fists unable to defeat four hands. After being sent back to the adventurer world by their own people, they had no choice but to surrender.
So countless hunting combinations soon appeared in the jungle.
A group of melee players holding shields are responsible for attracting the attention of Condor Empire players in front, while a group of bow masters follow them and keep shooting cold arrows.
In addition to helping the bow players to lead the enemy out, melee players are also responsible for helping everyone carry arrows and food supplies to the front line after they die in battle.
As this hunting organization that combines far and near gradually took shape, the number of players killed on the Condor Heroes Empire soared again. As a last resort, Ning Yuan could only order Zhao Gang to recruit troops again.
......
The seraphic scouts of the Condor Empire are spread all over the China region. As long as there are any large-scale operations, they will definitely not be able to escape their eyes.
Soon, the news that the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom discussed peace withdrawal, as well as the news that the Northern Expedition Alliance began to build cities in Hankou and Wuchang reached Ningyuan's ears.
Ning Yuan was shocked when he heard that the Northern Expedition coalition not only signed an armistice agreement with the Dashi Kingdom, but also returned the occupied Heze area to the Dashi Kingdom.
Putting his heart in mind, if Ning Yuan paid such a great price, he would never have made peace with the Dashi Kingdom.
Even if he had to negotiate a peace cease with the Dashi Kingdom due to the situation, he would only retreat to the west bank of the Grand Canal. It would never be possible to return the Heze area that he had finally captured to the Dashi Kingdom.
Now the Northern Expedition Alliance is doing this, which makes Ning Yuan unable to doubt that there is no conspiracy here.
But no matter how Ning Yuan thought about it, he could not figure out what conspiracy the Northern Expedition Alliance had, because the Northern Expedition Alliance is now on the defensive side, and they have no ability to counterattack the area north of the Yangtze River.
So as long as the Condor Heroes does not take the initiative to attack, the Northern Expedition Alliance will not be able to underestimate the Condor Heroes.
"Come here, I will immediately write an order to hand it over to Shiraishihai and Xiongba, so that they can hurry up and prepare the winter guide. I heard that this winter will be very cold."
After racking his brains and not thinking about the enemy's conspiracy, Ning Yuan simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, it was not a few months before the winter strategy he formulated. At that time, all the conspiracies and tricks will be shattered in front of absolute strength.
After leaving behind the incidents of the Northern Expedition Alliance and the Dashi Kingdom, Ning Yuan immediately turned his attention to the Wuhan area where the enemy gathered heavily.
After staring at the two cities that are constantly approaching in Hankou and Wuchang for a long time, Ning Yuan sighed: "This TMD wants to build the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge in the game!"
When Ning Yuan thought of the two piers of the Colorful Rainbow Bridge (yin and yang trees) located in two cities on the riverside, he felt a little pain in his head.
The reason why the Condor Heroes could easily destroy the Colorful Bridge between Hunan and Hubei was mainly because the enemy's troops were limited on both sides of the straits, and there were no defensive facilities around Yangshu and Yinshu.
Therefore, the Mermaid Legion, which launched a raid on the Colorful Bridge, was able to quickly cut down two ancient trees after defeating the defenders on the shore.
Now the enemy has obviously learned the lessons from the previous ones. In order to protect the two piers, they could actually think of using the city wall to circle the piers into the city. This is definitely a genius idea!
Although doing this not only requires mobilizing a large number of troops, it will also consume a lot of manpower and resources, once the city is built and the Colorful Bridge is formed, it will not be so easy to destroy the Colorful Bridge in the city.
If you want to destroy the Colorful Bridge, you must first break through a city, otherwise you can only look at the bridge and sigh.
How easy is it to break through a city located in the hinterland of the enemy and is guarded by heavy troops?
Therefore, the enemy is likely to be able to re-open the connection between the north and south sides of the Yangtze River through this Colorful Bridge.
Originally, Ning Yuan wanted to let the Condor Navy harass the enemy when building a city, try to make some congestion for the enemy and slow down the enemy's speed of building a city.
However, after learning in detail about the enemy's troops deployment and weapons and equipment in Wuhan, Ning Yuan decisively gave up this idea.
In order to build this bridge, the Northern Expedition not only arranged heavy troops in the Wuhan area, but also assembled a large number of catapults near the river bank.
Although there are trenchers on the magic warships of the Condor Navy, they are obviously at a disadvantage in number, so it is simply unrealistic to use trenchers to harass the enemy to build a city.
In order to build this colorful bridge, the Northern Expedition Alliance has now been determined.
Unless Ning Yuan transferred a large number of troops through the fleet and launched a frontal attack on the Wuhan area where the enemy was heavily guarded by the enemy, he could only watch the Northern Expedition Alliance build cities and bridges there.
Considering the huge price to pay for relying solely on the Yangtze River waterway to launch an attack, Ning Yuan could only acquiesce to the enemy's actions and turned his attention to the primeval forest battlefield on the Vietnamese border.
The situation on the battlefield of the original forest is terriblely stable. Not only Ning Yuan is worried about the situation there, but even the Northern Expedition Alliance, which was the initiator, is also incredibly troubled.
After seeing huge benefits, the players and mercenaries on the Northern Expedition Alliance no longer want to break through the defense of the players of the Condor Heroes and rushed out. They now only want to hunt down the players of the Condor Heroes and the players who stopped them in the jungle.
As long as there are enough Condor Empire players ahead for them to hunt, they don’t care how harsh the environment in the jungle is.
Because compared with the money that has been recorded, those difficulties are not worth mentioning at all.
Now the group of mercenaries who are jealous of money have already been killed. If anyone dares to cut off their wealth, they will fight with whom they will.
As the defensive side, Ning Yuan did not dare to let such a group of players with red eyes come in, so he could only continue to increase troops to the front line to satisfy the hunting desire of those players to hire mercenaries.
Even so, Ningyuan's logistics pressure will become greater and greater, but Ningyuan can still accept it by paying more food, grass and supplies than being destroyed by the enemy.
Ning Yuan could barely accept this situation, but the Northern Expedition Alliance was absolutely not allowed.
When the Northern Expedition Alliance discovered that all the mercenaries of players stopped in the primeval forest, they immediately changed their previous employment rewards.
In order to stimulate those players who want to make money in war and let them kill towards the hinterland of Vietnam, the Northern Expedition Alliance directly reduced the reward for killing the Condor Heroes to twenty copper coins in one head, and increased the reward for killing the indigenous people to three hundred copper coins in one head.
Although the employment compensation has caused dissatisfaction among many players, as employers, the Northern Expedition Alliance has the right to change the compensation.
If players want to get this bounty by hunting heads, they must comply with all arrangements of the Northern Expedition Alliance.
After finding out that hunting players is no longer good, all the mercenaries of the Northern Expedition Alliance have turned into crazy tigers and leopards overnight. They desperately attacked the defense line of the players of the Condor Heroes Empire, trying to break through and get the high bounty.
At the same time, Ning Yuan could only continuously expand the scale of recruitment and use the players' lives to resist the enemy's attack.
