Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

A philosopher once said, don't put all your eggs in the same basket, otherwise if the basket falls over, all the eggs are at risk of breaking.

Although Ibn Haidar has asked the players of Beautiful Country for help, he knows that he cannot place all his hopes on the players of Beautiful Country. Otherwise, once the players of Beautiful Country have any bad intentions, they will probably die without success. Burial place.

So while the American players were still recruiting troops, Ibn Haidar decisively ordered the first batch of assembled Middle Eastern player coalition forces to move closer to the Amu Darya River Basin.

This first batch of Middle Eastern coalition forces is composed of 400,000 indigenous troops and 1 million player troops.

In order to ensure the logistical supplies for this 1.4 million-strong army, countries in the Middle East also recruited 2 million civilians to be responsible for the transportation of logistical supplies such as grain and grass supplies.

...

70% of Turkmenistan is covered by desert, and the Karakum Desert almost dominates Turkmenistan.

If it weren't for the existence of some rivers and oases in the desert, the entire central region of Turkmenistan would be almost an impenetrable no-man's land.

It is precisely because of the connection between large and small oases in the desert that people can normally travel between the north and south of Turkmenistan.

There is a huge oasis at the intersection of the Murgab River and the Karakum Canal, which the Turkmen people call Mare and the ancient Chinese called it Wood Deer.

Mulu is the only way to connect the north and south of Turkmenistan, and it is also an important transit station and supply point to Turkmenabat.

Mulu is about 240 kilometers away from Turkmenabat. The first batch of assembled Middle Eastern player coalition forces is currently stationed in the huge oasis where Mulu is located.

After receiving the instructions from Ibn Haidar, Abbas committed suicide and returned home. After leaving 200,000 troops stationed in Mulu, he immediately led an army of 1.2 million men and pounced on the Amu Darya River. Turkmenabat.

Facing the menacing coalition of Middle Eastern players, James, who was stationed in Turkmenabat, did not choose to take the initiative. Instead, he directly gave up a large area of ​​open space in the south of the city to the enemies so that these enemies could successfully complete their garrison.

When Abbas learned that the Condor Empire army in Turkmenabat did not come to block and delay the army he led, he immediately frowned.

Before leading his army to attack, Ibn Haidar had already discussed the attack on Turkmenabat with him.

The two of them agreed that it would be most beneficial to them only if the Condor Empire army stationed in Turkmenabat fought against them.

If the Condor Empire army in Turkmenabat just defends the city, then not only will they fight a very difficult battle, but it will also add a lot of variables.

Variable 1: Once the siege drags on for too long, their logistical supplies will encounter serious difficulties.

With 1.2 million troops on display in the Turkmenabat area, eating, drinking, and defecating every day will be a huge challenge.

Due to the restriction of the location of Turkmenabat, their base camp could only be set up in the southern part of the city near the desert.

Not only is the temperature difference between day and night very large in places close to the desert, but getting water every day is also a huge problem.

If they could not dig a deep well to draw water, they would have to cross a distance of more than ten kilometers to get water from the Amu Darya River.

Since the Condor Empire's army also built a large number of fortifications outside the city of Turkmenabat, they must always be prepared to be attacked by the Condor Empire's army when fetching water.

Ten days and a half are easy to endure, but if it really lasts for three to five months or even a year, then just the daily water collection activities can drive people crazy.

Therefore, Ibn Haidar and Abbas agreed that Turkmenabat, located on the south bank of the Amu Darya River, must be captured as soon as possible.

Only by completely occupying the NA area of ​​the Amu Darya River can they transport more strategic materials here to prepare for the recovery of Uzbekistan on the north bank of the Amu Darya River.

If the Condor Empire is delayed in the Turkmenabat area for too long, even if they finally succeed in occupying the entire Turkmenabat area, they may not have time to rescue Ibn Haidar who is trapped in the hinterland of the Kazakh Khanate. .

The second variable is that time waits for no one. Every day that passes, the situation they need to face will be very different.

The Condor Empire army currently located on the north bank of the Amu Darya River is seizing time to conquer every city in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

Facing the somersaulting cloud army of the Condor Empire, the tall city wall originally used to protect the city immediately became a decoration.

After losing the protection of the city wall, the defenders in the city could only rely on some buildings to engage in street fighting and hand-to-hand combat in small spaces with the attacking Condor Empire troops.

However, after demobilizing most of the elites in the country, there are not many elite troops left in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan that are good at close combat.

On the other hand, in the Condor Empire, the army responsible for siege is not only a powerful orc army that is best at hand-to-hand combat, but it is also able to ignore long-range attacks.

This is basically a battle with a huge disparity in strength, so wherever the Condor Empire's siege army goes, no city can hold on for a day.

In this way, every day, an important city on the north bank of the Amu Darya River would fall.

If they delay for too long, no matter how large the combined land area of ​​Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan is, they will eventually be cannibalized bit by bit by the Condor Empire.

Once Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan fall, Ibn Haidar will basically be hopeless.

Because they don't have any Douyun legions that are good at attacking cities. Facing the cities guarded by the Condor Empire army, they can only fill them in one by one with human lives.

Variable three, their rear area is not 100% safe.

Although the existence of the Karakum Desert basically eliminates the possibility of the Condor Empire troops bypassing the Mulu area and directly attacking Ashgabat, if the Condor Empire thought of launching a surprise attack by water, they would be quite passive. .

The existence of the Karakum Desert and Mulu City makes land-based sneak attacks almost impossible, but the existence of the Caspian Sea greatly increases the variables of sea-based sneak attacks.

Although the Caspian Sea is a completely closed inland saltwater lake with no connection with other oceans, it is large enough to be able to carry the birth of a large navy. The most embarrassing thing now is that there is no one in the Caspian Sea. A large naval fleet exists.

Because of the special nature of the Caspian Sea's closed loop, the countries located on the Caspian Sea signed the Caspian Sea Protection Treaty in order to prevent serious internal strife from seizing control of the Caspian Sea.

Gu Miao\u003c/span\u003e The treaty stipulates that the Caspian Sea belongs to all countries along the Caspian Sea. No country is allowed to develop a navy in the Caspian Sea. Once a country is found to be secretly developing a navy, the countries surrounding the Caspian Sea will immediately rise up to attack. Attack it.

The main starting point for these countries to sign the Caspian Sea Treaty was to avoid sudden attacks from the sea, so no country developed a navy in the Caspian Sea.

Originally, the signing of the Caspian Sea Treaty greatly protected the security of every country around the Caspian Sea. However, as the Condor Empire invaded the Kazakh Khanate and completed its occupation of its entire territory, the Caspian Sea Treaty suddenly became their destiny. Door.

Although the powerful naval fleet of the Condor Empire cannot sail into the Caspian Sea, if the Condor Empire wants to build a new fleet on the Caspian Sea, all the countries along the Caspian Sea will be in trouble.

Because of restrictions on the Caspian Sea Treaty, these coastal countries do not have any naval power in the Caspian Sea.

Because these countries do not have any powerful naval forces, the Condor Empire does not need to form a fully functional naval fleet in the Caspian Sea to move sideways in the Caspian Sea.

Because the Condor Empire possesses the most powerful army in the ocean - the Mermaid Legion.

Under the cover of the Mermaid Legion, the Condor Empire only needs to build a batch of ships capable of manned navigation to dominate the entire Caspian Sea and attack all countries along the coast through the Caspian Sea.

The Caspian Sea, the world's largest inland lake, has become the biggest hidden danger in the entire Middle East and Central Asia.

Because there is no navy that can compete with the Mermaid Legion, it is difficult for countries along the Caspian Sea to defend against attacks from the Caspian Sea.

Although the current intelligence does not show that the Condor Empire has the idea of ​​​​developing the Caspian Sea, and there is no sign that the Condor Empire has built ships in the Caspian Sea, the Condor Empire undoubtedly has this capability.

So it's not that the Condor Empire didn't expect it, so they didn't take precautions.

Because if Ning Yuanxiang suddenly reaches this point one day, it will really be a bolt from the blue for them.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation from happening, the best way is to drive the Condor Empire's troops out of Central Asia, at least to keep them away from the Caspian Sea.

Of course, these are all things for later, because the most important thing for them right now is to successfully rescue the trapped Ibn Haidar and others.

Only by successfully rescuing the millions of elites led by Ibn Haidar will they be qualified to continue to consider other things.

If once that elite army is completely destroyed, there are only two outcomes waiting for them.

One is that the entire territory is occupied by the Condor Empire, and the entire Middle East becomes the territory of the Condor Empire.

The other is that they can continue to survive with the help of the multinational coalition led by players from the United States.

The price is that American players will take the opportunity to station troops in the Middle East and Central Asia, and they will become a production tool to raise troops for American players.

Neither of these two results was what Ibn Haidar and the others wanted to see.

Therefore, no matter how unfavorable the situation is, they will not place all their hopes on the players of the beautiful country, because although the players of the beautiful country will try their best to help them, this help is likely to be limited to preserving the country and does not include successful rescue. Get out of the trapped elite army of one million.

Even the players of the Beautiful Country will hope that the trapped millions of elites can get rid of their eggs earlier than the Condor Empire, because in this way, all the Middle Eastern countries can only rely on them.

It is precisely because of these considerations that even though Ibn Haidar and others knew that it would be difficult to achieve great results by relying on the first batch of assembled Middle Eastern player coalition forces, they still ordered the first batch without hesitation. A group of coalition forces from the Middle East launched an attack on the Turkmenabat area.

...

After arriving in Turkmenabad, facing the Eagle Empire's army that refused to leave, Abbas could only helplessly order the army to set up camp first, and then go to the Amu Darya River to fetch water while besieging the city.

As for the siege, it would take at least three or four days.

Because after setting up the camp and storing enough water, they still needed to rush to make some siege towers and catapults for siege.

Looking at the high and deep city of Turkmenabad in the distance, Abbas's face was full of helplessness at this time.

Because the high walls and wide moats of Turkmenabad not only failed to help the defenders resist the attack of the Eagle Empire, but now they have become the helpers of the Eagle Empire's army in the city.

Thinking of this, Abbas had to sigh that the no-fly zone is really a double-edged sword.

In order to fight against the Eagle Empire's powerful air force, they did not hesitate to turn the entire Central Asia and the Middle East into a no-fly zone.

Then, the Eagle Empire's flying corps could not enter, and their own flying corps was completely abolished.

If they could really destroy all the flying corps of the Condor Empire after doing all this, then the huge price they paid for it would be worth it.

However, things did not go as planned. They never expected that the Condor Empire would come up with a bug-type corps like the Somersault Cloud.

Facing the Somersault Cloud Corps that can carry people and resist wind, their previous anti-aircraft plan was simply self-defeating.

Because without any army on their side that can take off, all the shortcomings of the Somersault Cloud disappeared.

If they had an Owl Corps, the Somersault Cloud Corps of the Condor Empire would not dare to be so arrogant.

It's a pity that because of the previous anti-aircraft plan, they personally destroyed all their air forces, so that the Somersault Cloud Corps of the Condor Empire can now walk sideways here.

With the assistance of the Somersault Cloud Corps, the army of the Condor Empire can ignore the moats and walls of every city here and directly attack the inner city.

When they wanted to recapture the cities occupied by the Condor Empire, they not only had to face the defenders in the city, but also had to prioritize the moat and the high walls outside the city.

When Abbas thought that all this was caused by their no-fly plan, and that the city of Turkmenabad in front of them was only the first city they needed to recapture, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

This difficulty was too great, which made him feel like he was starting in hell mode.
