Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

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

Unlike the generally dry conditions in the Middle East, Mesopotamia has many floodplains.

The floodplains of the two river basins are well-watered, and their water source mainly comes from the snow in eastern Ottoman Turkey.

The degree and size of the flood depend primarily on how quickly the ice and snow melt.

The peak period of flooding is from April to June every year. This is also the time when the two major rivers, the Euphrates and the Tigris, are at their most ruthless.

Facing the Condor Empire troops walking down the Persian Plateau, the United States Allied Forces chose to deploy defenses on the west bank of the Tigris River.

With the Allied Forces of the Beautiful Country having built fortifications, it was still very difficult for the Condor Empire army on the other side of the river to forcefully cross the river and launch an attack.

Most of the Condor Empire's troops on the east coast are aboriginal troops, while the main force of the United States' coalition forces is mainly player troops.

If this battle across the river ends in both sides losing, then even if the Condor Empire wins the final victory, the price paid will be too high, which will seriously affect Ningyuan's future strategic planning.

Therefore, in order to avoid too many casualties, Ning Yuan chose to launch a full-scale attack on the United States Allied Forces in June, during the flood disaster period in the two river basins.

...

After entering April, the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, two major rivers in the Middle East, experienced surges in water volume.

Due to the flooding of the Euphrates River, the Condor Empire army and the Ottoman Turkish army in Syria all chose to leave the river and moved their military camps to distant highlands that were not easily flooded.

During the period of truce between the two armies upstream, the United States Allied Forces in the Tigris River Basin also had to abandon some lower-lying positions near the river bank.

However, in order to prevent the Condor Empire army on the other side of the river from suddenly crossing the river, Raymond could only send out round-the-clock patrols to patrol along the river bank and monitor the movements on the other side of the river.

After the two river basins entered the flood season, Raymond could not sleep well for a day because he was very worried that the naval fleet of the Condor Empire would take advantage of the flood season to swim 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 position near the river bank through a small magic warship, things will immediately become very difficult.

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

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

After learning from Assam Hussein of Iraq that the flooding period in the Mesopotamia Basin lasted for about three months, Raymond counted the time every day.

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

He had a premonition that Ningyuan would never miss the three-month flooding period.

So it is very likely that in the final month of June, they will usher in the most ferocious attack from the Condor Empire.

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

After seeing the mermaid army of the Condor Empire appear, Raymond knew that the most critical time had come, so he immediately ordered all the troops to enter the first level combat state, ready to welcome the fierce attack of the Condor Empire at any time.

...

On June 3, 1940, it suddenly rained heavily in the two river basins.

When 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 continuous line of cold rain, Raymond's expression became more solemn.

In June in the Mesopotamia, this was originally a very ordinary heavy rainstorm, but as the rain became heavier and heavier, Raymond soon sensed the aura of conspiracy contained in it.

It stands to reason that even if a normal heavy rainstorm lasts for a long time, it will become heavier and lighter at times.

But the heavy rain in front of us has been going on for more than an hour, but there is no sign of getting smaller.

This kind of natural phenomenon has not happened before, but the probability of it happening is very small. Raymond doesn't believe that he will be so lucky, so someone must be playing tricks here.

In the game world, except for those guys who call themselves dragon warriors, there are no other people who can play tricks on this miracle of nature.

To be able to affect such heavy rainfall, a few dragon warriors are definitely not enough to see, so there must be a large number of dragon warriors lurking in the Tigris River under the rain curtain.

As the most precious strategic unit of the Condor Empire, the Dragon Warriors have already appeared here, so the time for the Condor Empire's general attack should not be far away.

Looking at the turbulent and turbid river water a hundred meters away, after Raymond ordered to strengthen the defensive force on the city wall, he simply sat down in the city tower.

He was destined to be unable to sleep tonight, so he simply decided to stay in the tower all night, because he had a strong premonition that the Condor Empire was likely to launch a night attack on a rainy night.

...

The sudden heavy rain continued throughout the day without any sign of stopping.

After nightfall, although the rain intensity decreased compared with the daytime, the rainfall amount was still considerable.

This means that the drainage facilities in Baghdad are relatively good, otherwise the water in the city would probably be up to the knees.

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

Just when Ning Yuan was watching with relish, a Seraph scout opened the curtain and entered.

"Your Majesty, the drainage facilities in Baghdad are very good. There hasn't been much water in the city for a whole day."

After listening to the Seraph Scout's report, Ning Yuan slowly put down the book "My Story of the Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon in the Game" written by a Tenglong Army player.

"What about the defense situation in Baghdad?"

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

“Back to Your Majesty, the defense in the city is even tighter than the previous few days.

From the moment it started to rain this morning, the enemy immediately strengthened the defenses near the city walls. "

"How many of the dragon warriors in the Tigris River are left who have not cast spells? Can they keep raining 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 cast spells yet, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on until midnight."

"That's it. Forget it then. You should immediately pass on my military order to have all the dragon warriors withdraw and rest."

While talking, Ning Yuan once again picked up the book "The Story of My Love in the Game" on the table.

...

For Baghdad, the Iraqi capital located on the banks of the Tigris River, Ning Yuan originally planned to repeat the scene in Bandar Abbas here.

However, what he did not expect was that the drainage facilities in the city of Baghdad were so good. Even with help from God and dragon warriors fanning the flames, the flooded Baghdad 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 still had other tactics that he could use.

On June 4th, just after 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 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 the attack outside the city.

It rained heavily all day and night yesterday, and now it can be said to be muddy outside Baghdad.

In this environment, there was no way their army could be a match for the Condor Empire's mermaid army, so he could only watch the mermaid army come to this side of the river.

In the mud full of water, the mermaid warriors of the Condor Empire were walking swiftly, and soon hundreds of thousands of mermaid warriors surrounded the city of Baghdad.

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

"Your Excellency Assam, has June passed and the flood season of the Tigris River ended?"

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

"It's almost like this. Every year in early July, the flood season of the Tigris River will completely end. It has never exceeded this time point."

I don’t know why Raymond asked this, but Assam answered with an affirmative look.

"Then the military rations in the city are enough to sustain us for several months?"

Raymond continued to ask.

"One year is no problem," Assam replied.

After hearing Assam's answer, Raymond let out a sigh of relief.

Just now, he thought that the Condor Empire wanted to use the mermaid army to surround Baghdad and then trap them alive.

When he learned that the flood season was over in one month, and that the food stored in the city was enough for them to eat for more than a year, he immediately felt relieved.

The previous worries were relieved, but looking at the mermaid army outside the city, Raymond was still very confused as to why Ning Yuan would do this.

Baghdad is now a piece of mud. Although the mermaid army of the Condor Empire is not affected, the other armies are just as unable to gain a foothold in the mud.

In other words, except for the mermaid army, there is no way for other armies to stay outside Baghdad today.

Although there are more than 200,000 mermaid troops surrounding Baghdad, it is impossible to break through Baghdad with only 200,000 mermaids because the opponent does not have any siege equipment.

Could it be that Ningyuan is planning to move all the somersault clouds to Baghdad, and then use the ladders built by the somersault clouds to forcibly attack the city?

This is impossible. Ning Yuan can't be so stupid.

Because the bonus period of somersault cloud siege has passed, everyone now knows that the somersault cloud army of the Condor Empire is good at using arrows that can break ordinary shields to siege cities, so many countries have specially produced a large number of them. Thick shields designed to withstand shield-breaking arrows were used to defend the city.

The current city of Baghdad is no exception. In addition to having a large number of thick shields used to withstand shield-breaking arrows, Baghdad also has a heavy armored infantry regiment composed of Ursine warriors stationed in the city.

Facing the defense of this bear-men heavy armored infantry, it seems that the mermaid warriors of the Condor Empire are not much of a match.

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

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

Raymond had already used his brain to the limit, but he still couldn't figure out what Ning Yuan meant by this move.

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

After his brain became hot due to overload, Raymond could only choose to ask for help from Assam, a local snake on the side.

Seeing Raymond asking for his opinion, Assam quickly walked to the window sill and looked at the densely packed mermaid army in the distance. He said to himself: "These enemy mermaid armies do not carry any logistical supplies.

Without supplies, by noon they would all be back across the river.

If they come back at ten o'clock in the afternoon, they will return to the other side of the river again at ten o'clock in the evening.

If they are still the same tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, then I dare to conclude that the enemy must want to use this tactic to make us highly nervous. "

"The effects of high tension don't seem to be a big deal. After all, our soldiers in the city can rest in shifts."

Listening to Assam talking about the tactics of tired troops, Raymond was suddenly a little unbelievable.

“We were very nervous at the beginning, but as time goes by and we face the same situation every day, we will definitely become more relaxed.

I guess Ningyuan wants to make us nervous first, and then make us gradually relax.

When we become slack due to the enemy's repeated actions every day, Ningyuan may suddenly launch an attack on us one day.

If I guessed correctly, this attack on Ningyuan should be based on the storm tactics that the Mermaid Legion is best at, in order to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the Mermaid Warriors. "

Assam continued to analyze, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"Aren't somersault clouds afraid of heavy rain?"

Raymond questioned with wide eyes.

"Well..."

Faced with Raymond's question, Assam was speechless, as if the somersault clouds and the storm were really not in harmony.

"Then why did the Condor Empire send the mermaid army here? Could it be that Ning Yuan just wants to treat us as a failure?"

After his theory was overturned, Assam immediately became a little angry.

"How do I know what Ning Yuan wants to do? I'm not the roundworm in his belly."

Looking at Assam who was suddenly furious, Raymond was also furious.

Damn Ning Yuan, what on earth is he going to do?
