The Mesopotamia generally refers to the middle and lower reaches of the Euphrates and Tigris River.

Unlike the general dryness in the Middle East, there are many flood plains in the Mesopotamia.

The flood plains in the Mesopotamia are abundant in water, and their water sources mainly come from the snow in eastern Ottoman Türkiye.

The degree of flooding and the size of flooding mainly depends on the speed of ice and snow melting.

April to June each year is the peak of flooding, which is also the coldest time for the two great rivers, the Euphrates and the Tigris.

Facing the Condor Empire army that was walking down the Persian Plateau, the Beautiful National Alliance chose to deploy defenses on the west bank of the Tigris River.

As the Alliance of Beautiful Nations has built fortifications, it is still very difficult for the Condor Empire army on the other side of the river to force the river to launch an attack.

Most of the troops on the east coast of the Condor Empire were indigenous armies, while the main force of the Beautiful Nation Alliance was mainly the player army.

If this battle to cross the river is both defeated, even if the Condor Empire wins the final victory, the price it pays will be a bit too high, which will seriously affect Ningyuan's future strategic planning.

Therefore, in order to avoid too many casualties, Ningyuan chose to launch a full-scale attack on the Beautiful National Alliance during the flood disaster in the Mesopotamian Basin in June.

......

After April, the water volume of two major rivers in the Middle East, the Euphrates and Tigris, rose sharply.

Due to the flooding of the Euphrates River, the Condor Empire and the Ottoman Turkish troops located in Syria all chose to leave the riverside and moved the barracks to high grounds that were not easily flooded in the distance.

During the period when the two upper reaches of the army were in a standstill, the beautiful coalition forces in the Tigris River Basin had to give up some positions close to the river bank and were relatively low in terrain.

However, in order to prevent the Condor Empire army from crossing the river suddenly, Raymond had to send a twenty-four-hour patrol to patrol along the river bank and monitor the movements on the other side of the river.

After the Mesopotamia entered the flood season, Raymond did not have a day to sleep, because he was very worried that the naval fleet of the Condor Empire would take advantage of the flood season to go upstream.

When the Tigris River enters the flood season, large magic warships cannot enter, but small magic warships can still enter freely.

Once the Condor Empire launches a strong attack on their positions near the river bank through small magic warships, things will immediately become very difficult.

Because the Condor Empire not only has an established mermaid army, but also a large group of dragon special forces that can call for wind and rain.

Although he had ordered people to raise and strengthen the fortifications near the river bank as much as possible, as the Tigris River surged day by day, his heart became more and more unsatisfied.

After learning from Assam Houseyin of Iraq that the Mesopotamian flooded the Mesopotamian was about three months old, Raymond counted the time every day.

As April and May passed one after another, Raymond not only did not feel any relief, but began to become more anxious day by day.

He had a premonition that Ning Yuan would never miss the three-month flooding period, so it is very likely that in the last June, they would usher in the most fierce attack of the Condor Empire.

Raymond's premonition was very correct, because as soon as June entered, countless mermaid troops appeared on the east bank of the Tigris River.

After seeing the mermaid army of the Condor Empire appear, Raymond knew that the most deadly time was coming, so he immediately ordered all troops to enter a first-level combat state and prepare to face the fierce attack of the Condor Empire at any time.

......

On June 3, 1940, heavy rain suddenly started in the Mesopotamia.

The moment the rain fell from the sky, Raymond immediately rushed to the east wall of Baghdad.

Looking up at the dark sky and feeling the almost lined cold rain, Raymond's face became more and more serious.

In June of the Mesopotamia, this was originally a very ordinary heavy rainstorm, but as the rain got heavier, Raymond quickly noticed the aura of conspiracy contained in it.

Logically speaking, even if a normal heavy rainstorm lasts for a long time, it will be a little bit older and a little lesser.

But the heavy rain in front of me has lasted for more than an hour, but there has been no sign of getting smaller.

This natural phenomenon has not been seen before, but the probability of it happening is very small. Raymond doesn't believe he will be so lucky, so there must be someone doing it here.

In the game world, it is impossible for anyone who can make trouble in this miracle of nature to have no other people except those who call themselves dragon warriors.

It is definitely not enough for several dragon warriors to be able to affect such heavy rain, so there must be a large number of dragon warriors lurking in the Tigris River under the rain.

As the most precious strategic armies of the Condor Empire, the dragon warrior has appeared here, so it should not be far from the general attack moment of the Condor Empire.

Looking at the turbid river water a hundred meters away, Raymond simply sat in the city tower after ordering to strengthen the defensive power on the city wall.

He was destined to be unable to fall asleep tonight, so he simply decided to stay in the city tower for a night because he had a strong premonition that the Eagle Empire would likely launch a night attack on rainy nights.

......

The sudden heavy rainstorm still showed no sign of stopping after the whole day.

After nightfall, although the rainfall decreases compared to daytime, the rainfall is still considerable.

This means that the drainage facilities in Baghdad City are relatively good, otherwise the water in the city may have been less than the knee.

In a camp on the east bank of the Tigris River, Ning Yuan was holding a book with a lamp and a night candle.

Just as Ning Yuan was watching with relish, a seraphic scout lifted the curtain and entered.

"Report to your Majesty, the drainage facilities in Baghdad City are very good. It has been a whole day and there is not much water accumulation in the city."

After listening to the report of Seraph Scout, Ning Yuan slowly put down the book "Stories of My Love and Flowers in the Game" written by the Tenglong Army player.

"How is the defense in Baghdad?"

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Ning Yuan asked slowly.

"When you go back to your Majesty, the defense in the city will be more stringent than in the previous few days.

From the moment it started raining this morning, the enemy immediately strengthened the defense near the city wall."

"How many dragon warriors in the Tigris River have not used magic? Can they keep the rain until midnight?" Ning Yuan continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, in order to maintain the rainfall, less than one-fifth of the dragon warriors have not yet used magic, so it may be difficult to persevere until midnight."

"That's it, then forget it. You can send our military order immediately and let all the dragon warriors retreat to rest."

While talking, Ning Yuan picked up the book "Stories of My Love and Moon in Games" on the table again.

......

Regarding Baghdad, Iraq's capital located on the banks of the Tigris River, Ning Yuan originally planned to repeat the scene in Abbas Port here.

However, what he did not expect was that the drainage facilities in Baghdad were so good. Even if there was God helping and dragon warriors fanning the flames, the flood he wanted to see still did not appear.

Although he was a little disappointed with this result, Ning Yuan quickly adjusted his mood because even if this tactic failed, he had other tactics to use.

On June 4th, just as the sky was dawn, the Condor Empire army located on the east bank of the Tigris River began to cross the river on a large scale.

When Raymond, who was located on the city tower, saw that the Condor Empire troops crossing the river were all mermaid warriors, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​blocking outside the city.

It rained heavily yesterday one day and one night, and now it can be said that it is muddy outside Baghdad.

In this environment, their army could not be the opponent of the Condor Empire Mermaid Legion, so he could only watch the mermaid army come to this side of the river.

In the mud filled with water, the mermaid warriors of the Condor Empire were all walking steadily, and soon hundreds of thousands of mermaid warriors surrounded the city of Baghdad.

Seeing that the Condor Empire actually sent a mermaid army to surround Baghdad, Raymond subconsciously looked at Assam Houseyin who had just arrived at the city tower.

"His Excellency Assam, is June over and the flood season on the Tigris River ended?"

After being confused by the actions of the Condor Empire, Raymond asked with some uncertainty.

"It's almost the same. In early July every year, the flood season on the Tigris River will completely end, and there has never been a situation that exceeds this time node."

I don't know why Raymond asked this, but Assam answered with a positive look.

"How many months can the military rations in the city last?"

Raymond continued to ask.

"No problem for a year," Assam replied.

After hearing Assam's answer, Raymond immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he thought the Condor Empire wanted to use the mermaid army to surround Baghdad City and trap them to death.

When he learned that the flood season had ended one month and the city had enough food to eat for more than a year, he felt relieved.

I felt relieved when I was worried before, but looking at the mermaid army outside the city, Raymond was still very puzzled why Ning Yuan did this.

Now Baghdad has become a muddy area. Although the mermaid army of the Condor Empire is not affected, other armies are just as unable to gain a foothold in the mud like them.

In other words, outside Baghdad, there is no way to stay in other troops except the mermaid army.

Although the mermaid army surrounding Baghdad is enough for more than 200,000 people, it is impossible to break through Baghdad with just 200,000 mermaid army because the other party does not have any siege equipment.

Could it be that Ning Yuan was planning to transfer all the somersault clouds to Baghdad, and then use the ladder built by somersault clouds to forcibly attack the city?

This is unlikely, Ning Yuan cannot be so stupid.

Because the bonus period for somersault cloud siege has passed, everyone now knows that the Somersault cloud army of the Condor Empire is good at using an arrow that can break ordinary shields to siege the city, so many countries have specially made a large number of thick shields specifically used to resist the broken shield arrows to defend the city.

The city of Baghdad is no exception. In addition to having a large number of thick shields used to resist the arrows of the broken shield, a heavy armored infantry legion consisting of bear human warriors is also stationed in Baghdad.

Facing the defense of this bear man heavy armored infantry, the mermaid warriors in the Condor Empire seemed not very opponents.

Now only the mermaid army, which is not affected by the mud, can move freely outside Baghdad, and other armies of the Condor Empire cannot pass at all.

If the mermaid army hadn't come to attack the city, what was the purpose of the Condor Empire's move?

Raymond had already activated his brain to the limit, but he still couldn't think of what Ning Yuan wanted to do this.

"His Excellency Assam, you have lived here for so many years. What do you think these mermaid troops outside the city want to do?"

After his brain became hot due to overload, Raymond had no choice but to ask Assam, the local snake beside him for help.
