Chapter 119: David Lewis and the City That Never Falls (Part I)
After the Wang Zhong incident, although many players shouted at Ning Yuan to kill, they were just addicted to it, once they wanted to move the real thing, they all died down, and Ning Yuan waited for more than half a month, but he couldn't wait for an intruder.
Nowadays, as the game continues to evolve, Bronze Age player lords are very cautious about initiating invasion wars, because there are too many examples of failure.
Every invasion war is costly for the invading lord's player.
It's good that the war is won, but once they lose, then they won't be able to breathe this breath for a long time, and what they are most afraid of is that there will be no return.
After all, those lord players who are the guardians are not vegetarians, and you have come to destroy me, so I will definitely not let you go easily.
Lords of the Guardian will always do everything possible to prevent the invaders from retreating on the tenth day, trying to hold them back, and then selling the invaders' details to others after the game is over.
In this way, when the game restarts the next day, the invader's lair will be invaded by other lord players, and they can make full use of the time, place, and people to slowly grind the invader to death.
If the rules of dimensional warfare are not friendly to the invader, then the Bronze Age plane war is very unfriendly to the invader, because every invasion war may lead them to a point of no return.
So after a series of painful lessons, the Bronze Age player lords are starting to become cautious.
Every time they launch an invasion war, they have to deduce it for a long time in advance, and if they are not more than 80 percent sure, they will never choose to start a war.
......
In the past half a month, although there have been no intruders, Ning Yuan has not been idle, and he has been studying the list of players available for him to invade while he is waiting.
Since the player lords don't come to invade him, then he takes the initiative to go out and invade others, after all, only by launching an invasion war can he grow faster.
After entering the Bronze Age, it was also very particular about choosing the objects of invasion.
First, as a Huaxia player, Ning Yuan can no longer take the initiative to invade the player lord of his own country, otherwise he is likely to become the target of public criticism.
Although he has now become the target of public criticism, the attitude of players towards him is still limited to verbal criticism.
If he really dared to cross this red line, then as a "traitor", he would most likely usher in the conquest of countless players, and even those big guilds would attack him, so Ning Yuan would not dare to cross this red line no matter what.
Second, select the target of the invasion. He has to choose both those that are easy to take, and those that have enough resources.
If the opponent is a poor bastard, then even if he wins, he may lose more than he gains.
After all, as an invader, he has to pour out every invasion war, and consumes a lot of supplies, and if he can't plunder enough resources, then this invasion war is a failure.
Third, the choice of invasion targets should try to avoid those foreign guilds.
Although the queen bees of those big guilds were all fat and oily, if Ning Yuan really hit them with his idea, it would be easy to stab the hornet's nest, and then he would not only encounter a large number of enemy reinforcements, but his own plane would also be likely to usher in a large number of enemies.
Although Ning Yuan is very strong, his two fists are difficult to defeat four hands after all.
If the other party really wants to choose the kind of fight with him at any cost, then in the face of a steady stream of enemies, Ning Yuan is likely to be slowly grinded to death by the enemy, after all, the soldiers under him are not iron men, they also have to eat and sleep.
In fact, Ning Yuan was not afraid of that kind of battle with open swords and guns, what he was most afraid of was that the enemy would not engage him head-on, but would constantly harass his rear.
Now, with the continuous expansion of the Condor Territory, it is no longer possible for Ning Yuan to take care of all the places.
When the enemy sends a large number of small detachments to constantly harass the production of the Condor Leader's rear, the Condor Leader will fall into a complete passivity, and at that time, whether Ning Yuan wants to or not, he must send a large number of soldiers to round up these enemies scattered everywhere.
If he dares to ignore it, then it won't be long before the production of his territory will be completely abolished, and then the people in the territory will start to eat their old capital.
When the food resources stored in the territory are depleted, without anyone else's hands, his Condor Territory will collapse due to the lack of food.
This kind of exhaustion tactic is the one that those big guilds are best at, because they have troops and supplies, and they are not afraid of this kind of attrition at all.
And scattered lord players like Ning Yuan, they can have now, they are all piled up by winning one victory after another, and their foundation is actually very weak.
Although they are not afraid, once they fall into a protracted war, their weakness of lack of stamina will be infinitely magnified.
In fact, those big guilds are not very willing to use this tactic easily, after all, their losses will be very large, if they are not mortal enemies who must be destroyed, they are not willing to fight each other now.
For those large guilds, every player lord who enters the Bronze Age is a very valuable asset, and every loss of a player lord is a big loss for the entire guild.
In addition, the rules of dimensional warfare are not very friendly to large guilds like them, so they are not willing to provoke those powerful scattered lord players unless they have to.
Because even if they can achieve the final victory, they will not get much from paying, and they are not willing to do this kind of bloody transaction.
In fact, a lord player like Ning Yuan, who holds three natural wonders in his hands, is a big fat sheep in the eyes of many people, which will cause countless people to peep, but his horns are too sharp, and the players are not sure enough to subdue him now, so they have not attacked him for a long time.
Since the Fabi Eto'o incident, all the Scattered Player Lords have become cautious.
They no longer blindly choose to face the invaders, but began to use the geographical advantage to deal with the enemy, many conditional player lords have built a number of fortified cities in the territory, they hide inside the castle, using the advantage of the city wall to resist the invasion of the invaders.
Many invaders have a lot of headaches in the face of a strong castle, and although they can easily make some simple ladders and crash wood, the defenders are not fools, and the defenders will use the advantages of the city walls to kill and injure a large number of besieging soldiers.
Although the sturdy shield could withstand the arrows fired from the walls, the shield and armor were of little use in the face of rolling stones thrown from the heights, and all the besieging soldiers were left to their fate.
This is also the main reason why the proportion of casualties on the besieging side is much higher than that of the defending side since ancient times.
As the player lords gradually entered the state, the current war is really getting harder and harder, so many player lords began to rack their brains to think of a way to crack it, and they began to use some tricks to break the enemy's hard turtle shell.
Although Ning Yuan is hot-headed and ignorant when fighting, in normal times, he is still a very calm lord, and in a calm state, he can often come up with some ghost ideas.
Ning Yuan's chosen target this time is a British player - David Lewis.
David Lewis is a powerful Scattered Lord, he is very famous in the Scattered Lords player circle, and his castle is known as the Immortal City by players.
The city of Immortality means a city that will never fall, and David Lewis's city is very much in line with the name, as it has never been captured by an enemy since it was built.
David Lewis was also a very lucky player, having discovered a natural wonder during the Stone Age, the Black Sacred Mountain.
The Obsidian Sacred Mountain is a natural wonder that produces obsidian, which is so hard that it is ideal for building buildings such as city walls.
David Lewis is a real-life architect whose dream is to build fortified castles in the game, and then build a vast empire from those castle complexes.
So since the occupation of Obsidian Mountain, he began to plan his first castle, and after drawing the drawings, he directly began to build it.
David Luiz started with a small inner city, the size of a football field, and it was only after the inner city was built that he began to build the outer city.
In fact, the so-called inner city and outer city are just a ring of obsidian walls, and there are no supporting facilities in the city.
In order to protect the Obsidian Mountain, David Lewis used obsidian to enclose the entire Obsidian Mountain within the city walls.
In the beginning, the outer wall was only about two meters high, but with the continuous production of the Obsidian Holy Mountain, the entire outer wall has now been increased to ten meters high.
With the strong walls in place, David Lewis finally had no worries, and after leaving enough troops to defend the city, he embarked on a frenzied invasion.
David Lewis has also walked all the way to the corpse of his enemy, and now, there are three natural wonders and two civilizations in his territory.
The three natural wonders are the Obsidian Sacred Mountain, which produces obsidian, the Tree of Life, which produces the fruits of life, and the Wanjun Mountain, which produces meteorite.
That's right, everyone read that right, David Louis's territory also has a Wanjun Mountain, and its function is exactly the same as that in Ningyuan's territory.
Natural wonders of this type like Wanjun Mountain are not the only ones, although Ning Yuan doesn't know how many there are in the game, but there are currently more than five of them.
The two civilizations are the Terran civilization and the elven civilization.
David Lewis's natal race is the human race, and the elven civilization was plundered by him from others, and with the elven civilization, his unfallen city becomes more difficult to attack.
So, since David Lewis is so powerful, why did Ning Yuan choose him as his target?
It stands to reason that even if there are three natural wonders in David Louis's territory, Ning Yuan should not choose him as his opponent, so Ning Yuan must have his own reasons for doing this.
In fact, the reason for this is also very simple, that is, David Luiz has just experienced three fierce battles, and now his strength is not as good as before.
The first battle was initiated by David Luiz in order to snatch the Tree of Life in the opponent's territory.
Since both men were Bronze Age lords, this battle was fought particularly fiercely.
Although David Luiz won the final victory, he was successfully dragged by his opponent until the thirteenth day, leaving him in a disadvantageous situation of being beaten from the back.
Fortunately, he finally succeeded in destroying the other party, otherwise if it dragged on for a few more days, his city would have completely fallen.
When David Lewis rushed back to the city, the enemy and the enemy were engaged in a fierce battle for the city walls, and at this time a large number of enemy soldiers had already ascended the city, and his brother John Lewis was leading the remaining army to fight the enemy at the top of the city, making the last resistance.
Fortunately, David Lewis came with the army in time, otherwise the city would have been completely lost.
Although David Luis successfully repelled the enemy this time, since the other party dared to come to him for trouble, he would definitely not give up easily, and the army that David Luis went out to fight was also heavily lost, so it is still unknown who will die in this battle.
The only advantage on David Lewis's side at that time was the tall walls, and if they could prevent the enemy from climbing the walls again, the enemy would have to retreat in disgrace by the tenth day.
David Louis knew this, and his enemies knew this, so they didn't want to stalemate with David Luis until the tenth day, and after a night's rest, the enemy launched an all-round general attack on the city of Buluo.
The siege lasted from sunrise to sunset, and the walls were littered with the corpses of soldiers killed in battle, and even the black obsidian was stained black and purple with blood.
By the end of the battle, the people who could still stand on the city wall had become scarce, but unfortunately, the besieging side was no longer able to launch the next attack on the city wall at this time, and the invading lord player could only reluctantly retreat to the distance with a full camp of injuries.
Facing the retreating enemy, David Lewis and his younger brother John Lewis could only smile bitterly and watch the enemy's figure fade away.
When the enemy had just launched the last wave of attacks, it was already very difficult for them to keep the city wall intact, and at this time they no longer had any idea of pursuing, and their current state was no longer able to launch a pursuit.
As for wanting to drag the enemy until the eleventh day, they just want to quickly send this enemy away, and then hang up the battle exemption token and recuperate.
When the enemy had withdrawn on the tenth day, David Lewis immediately contacted a few friends who usually got along well and asked them to come to his aid in time if he needed it.
After making a series of promises, the friends agreed to his request, and David Lewis began to recuperate in hiding in the city.
Because of the existence of the war token, David Lewis decided not to hang the war free token for the time being after discussing it with his younger brother John Lewis.
After all, their current strength is too badly damaged, and once they hang up the Freedom Token, they will lose all their support and fall into a situation of fighting alone.
What David Luiz lacks most now is time, as long as he is given a month, half of his wounded soldiers will be able to regain their combat effectiveness, so he is now in a race against time.
As the saying goes, take advantage of your illness to kill you.
In the past, when David Luiz was strong, no one wanted to fight his idea, but he is now in his weakest period, so when the news of his damage to his strength was spread on the forums, many player lords couldn't sit still.
Thus, the second fierce battle of the city began.
In the second battle, the city is on the defensive side, this time the invaders are a coalition of five player lords, and the defending side has brought in three foreign reinforcements in addition to David Luiz's native forces.
Since most of David Lewis's army was recovering from wounds, the battle around the city walls was basically five against three.
Although David Lewis's army was much smaller than the enemy, as the defender of the city, they had the advantage of the city walls, so the enemy and the enemy were basically evenly matched.
After learning that David Lewis had brought in a large number of reinforcements, the player lords on the invading side did not choose to start a siege battle immediately, and after they asked the army to surround the city, there was no movement, just besieging but not attacking.
Could it be that there was also the kind of infighting within this invading coalition army that Ning Yuan and them had at that time?
The answer is NO.
The reason why the invading coalition did not choose to attack the city immediately was because they were waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to decide the victory or defeat in one battle.
As we all know, the main reason why the city is so difficult to attack is that it has tall walls, and it is difficult for the army of the besieging side to climb the wall when there is no advanced siege equipment.
Although the tall walls were an advantage for the defenders, David Lewis was so greedy that he built the city of Buluo very huge in order to enclose the three natural wonders inside the walls.
Originally, as long as the walls were high enough and strong enough, no matter how huge David Lewis built the city, it would be difficult for the enemy to find an opportunity to take advantage of it.
But the bad thing was that David Lewis did not have enough troops to defend all the walls, so they could only place enough troops on the walls of the enemy's main attack, and the rest of the city had to send some patrols to keep an eye on the enemy's movements.
The purpose of the invading side of the player lords is very simple, since the defenders in the city are insufficient, and they have an absolute advantage in troops, then they must give full play to the advantage in strength and make the defenders in the city exhausted.
Of course, these actions are actually blindfolding, and their real purpose is to find a few places suitable for digging tunnels, and use the tunnels to directly attack the city, so as to meet the inside and outside.
