Chapter 899: Battle of Darjeeling (1)

Darjeeling is located in the Darjeeling-Galapahar range of the Darjeeling Himalayas at an average altitude of 2,134 meters, where the climate is pleasant and it is the main production area of Darjeeling black tea, one of the world's three most fragrant black teas.

Darjeeling black tea, also known as the "champagne of black tea", has always been very expensive.

Even in the game, Darjeeling black tea has always been sought after by Indian players.

High-quality Darjeeling black tea is very precious, and was once used by Indian players to curry favor with those dignitaries of the Peacock Kingdom.

In India, Darjeeling black tea is a status symbol, and Singh, the king of the Peacock Kingdom, is a loyal lover of Darjeeling black tea, so Darjeeling black tea is also known as the royal tribute tea.

Darjeeling black tea is divided into spring, summer and autumn, and now that it is the season of autumn tea, the king of the Peacock Kingdom, Singh, is probably waiting to drink the freshly picked autumn tea.

Although Singh would not blame Irfan and the others for drinking a few sips of tea, he could not even hold a Darjeeling that produced royal tribute tea, and Singh would think that Irfan and other nobles who were divided into feuds were not qualified at all, and they would probably be replaced directly as soon as there was a suitable candidate.

So this is also one of the reasons why Irfan is so anxious to take the initiative to attack, because only by defeating the enemy early and reclaiming Darjeeling can their position be secured.

The average elevation of the Siliguri region is 100 meters and the average elevation of the Darjeeling region is 2134 meters.

With a difference of nearly 2,000 meters in height, and the fact that the Darjeeling area is full of valleys and dense forests, the road into the mountains is very narrow, so it is not ordinarily difficult to attack Darjeeling from Siliguri.

As long as the army defending Darjeeling is heavily fenced along some of the main thoroughfares, the attackers will have to pay a heavy price if they attempt to capture Darjeeling from the ground, and they will not necessarily succeed.

However, the complex terrain of Darjeeling is only effective for the ground corps, and there are no restrictions on the flying corps, so the Indian coalition directly chose to let the air force pour out this time.

In order to allow their ground legions to reach Darjeeling City quickly, the Indian Flying Corps began to push forward along the road leading to Darjeeling City after dispatching.

After receiving Ouyang Fenqiang's order to defend to the death, the Chinese player coalition forces guarding the Darjeeling Pass quickly hid in the fortifications and the surrounding woods, stubbornly fighting the invading Indian coalition forces.

Since Ouyang Fenqiang had placed all the flying legions of the Huaxia Coalition in the north of Darjeeling City, the Huaxia Coalition players in the front completely lost air supremacy, and they could only let the flying legions of the Indian Coalition Army wreak havoc above their heads.

Air-to-ground has always been the specialty of owl warriors, they are like real eagles, as long as they find the direction of their prey, they will quickly swoop down, and then directly use their sharp eagle claws to crush the prey's heavenly spirit cover.

Although the players of the Huaxia Coalition are equipped with bows and arrows captured from the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds, the players' archery skills are really not very good.

In addition, the movements of the owl warriors are very agile, and they can easily avoid the cold arrows shot from the ground, so the counterattack of the Huaxia Coalition players seems to be so weak and weak, they can only watch the huge eagle claws volley down in the air.

As for the Blue Feather Peacock Legion of the Indian Alliance, which is good at long-range attacks, it has been quietly watching the excitement in the sky, and has no intention of joining the battle.

Irfan and others, who were familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, knew very well what it meant to use steel on the blade, so after the Owl Legion was capable of slaughtering the enemy, he directly ordered the Blue Feather Peacock Legion to stand still.

He wanted to keep the one hundred and twenty-eight peacock feathers of the Blue Feather Peacock and use these big killing weapons on the flying legion of the Huaxia Player Alliance and the Dragon Eagle Knights of the Condor Empire.

One-sided carnage continued as soon as the flying legions of the Indian coalition flew into the Darjeeling area, and the passage to Darjeeling was littered with the corpses of the Chinese coalition players, while the corpses of the enemy owl warriors were few.

With the Flying Corps opening the way ahead, the Indian Coalition Ground Corps followed up very quickly, and if all went well, they were able to reach the vicinity of Darjeeling City in the evening, and then officially launch a general assault on Darjeeling City the next day.

For the stubborn resistance of the Huaxia Coalition players, Irfan and the others who accompanied the army felt very strange, because they couldn't understand the significance of this resistance of the Huaxia Players' Alliance.

If the Chinese Players want to hold the passage to Darjeeling, they should send their flying legion to defend with the troops on the ground, and only then will they have a chance to fight their own side.

However, along the way, Irfan and the others did not even see the air force of the Huaxia Player Alliance, and only a large number of ground legions were stubbornly resisting along the way.

It's not impossible to use the Ground Legion against the Flying Legion, but you must at least have some ground troops that are good at long-range attacks, such as the Elven Ranger or something.

But all the players they met along the way were Terrans and some orcs, those warriors could fight hand-to-hand, archery couldn't bear to look at directly, and sending those warriors to defend to the death was no different from sending them to death.

The corpses of the Huaxia Coalition players all over the road have perfectly interpreted all this.

Sometimes the more a person thinks he is resourceful, the easier it is to doubt some unknown things, and Irfan, who thinks that he has studied the art of war more thoroughly, is in this state at this time.

After never finding any trace of the flying legion of the Huaxia Coalition Army, he always felt that there must be some conspiracy here.

After being calculated by Ning Yuan's use of the strategy of striking east and west, Irfan is now more and more cautious in doing things.

He kept sending reconnaissance teams to the front to conduct carpet surveys of all areas near Darjeeling.

Fortunately for the rest of the place, the reconnaissance team sent over quickly returned, while the reconnaissance team sent to the vicinity of Darjeeling City was all gone and never heard from.

After feeling that there was something strange near Darjeeling City, Irfan directly sent an army of 10,000 people of owls to investigate the situation.

Before the Owl Legion left, Irfan instructed the player general who led the team to make sure that he could find out the situation around Darjeeling City before returning.

If you encounter an attack by the enemy flying legion, except for the scout team responsible for returning to report the message, no one else is allowed to retreat, and even if the whole army is destroyed, you must cover the scout team to return safely.
