Chapter 585, Three-legged Stand
While Ning Yuan was busy forming the Angel War Elephant Legion and preparing to start a war with the Demon Clan, a major counteroffensive was also being staged in the Baikal region.
As the climate gradually warmed, the regular army of the Condor finally stepped out of the fortified castle, and they began to attack the castle held by the Russian players one by one, along with the player legion.
In the latter stages of the winter offensive, the Russians were no longer significantly superior to the Chinese players, and the two sides were in a delicate balance.
With the addition of the Condor, this balance was quickly upset, and the Russian players were defeated and had to huddle in castles to survive.
In this war, although the two sides involved in the war are from two countries other than the North Sea State, nominally, this war is actually a civil war in the North Sea State.
The Russian players had expected that the Condor would stop the war after driving them out of the territory of the North Sea State.
After all, Ning Yuan is still trapped in the Lost Continent, and if he doesn't give an order, the Huaxia players will not be able to command those aboriginal legions of the Condor Empire at all.
Even Ning Yuan himself thinks so, because he adopts two different management models for the aborigines and the players.
However, the Russian players were destined to be disappointed, as they faced an opponent named Ji Wushuang.
As one of Ning Yuan's most trusted all-round generals, Ji Wushuang has absolute autonomy in the Baikal region.
Ning Yuan gave Ji Wushuang the task of protecting Caterina and trying to maintain the existing territory of the Beihai Kingdom, but he did not restrict him from carrying out other military operations.
Although this war was initiated by Russian players, and as the attackers, they seemed to be strong, but Ji Wushuang, who had a keen sense of smell, quickly discovered the strength of Russian players.
The invasion coalition of Russian players seems to be a lot, but they are actually desperate, because in the rear, they don't have much left, and many areas are completely useless, and even a few hundred defenders can't make up for it.
After discovering this, Ji Wushuang had no intention of stopping, and after conquering the last castle in the Beihai Kingdom that was occupied by Russian players, he immediately ordered the major legions to take advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to advance.
Facing Ji Wushuang's order, many people were a little hesitant, after all, it was a civil war between brothers and sisters in Beihai Country before, and if it continued, it would be a national war between the two great powers.
The stakes are very high, not to mention those aboriginal generals, and even some Chinese players have questioned Ji Wushuang's order.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Ji Wushuang just replied lightly, "The general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch", and then forcefully ordered all legions to attack immediately, and those who violated the order will be killed.
Seeing that they were about to be beheaded if they disobeyed the order, all the doubts immediately disappeared, and the legions of the Condor Army and the player legions immediately rushed down the Siberian plateau.
When they entered the hinterland of Siberia in Russia, they couldn't help but admire Ji Wushuang's strategic vision.
Because after defeating the Russian coalition army that invaded the North Sea State, the entire Siberian region completely opened its arms to them, and they went hundreds of kilometers in a row, and they did not encounter any decent resistance.
Obviously, the Siberian region of Russia is the fruit that is strong on the outside and dry on the outside, and when the hard outer shell is broken, the tender flesh inside is ready for you to enjoy.
Ji Wushuang's "self-assertion" directly caught the Russian players off guard.
In the face of the Punishment Legion with strong frontal attack ability, the invincible Centaur Legion in the field, and the Orc Legion suitable for fighting in dense forests and mountains, Russian players simply could not organize any effective resistance.
They could only watch as the Condor Commander drove straight in and quickly occupied a vast area of Siberia.
When the angry Russian player representative found Ning Yuan in the neutral city to question him and demanded that the Condor Army withdraw immediately, Ning Yuan looked innocent.
Ning Yuan said that he had been trapped in the Lost Continent and had lost control of the Condor Army on the Great Earth.
Ji Wushuang's invasion of Russia with his army was entirely his personal act and had nothing to do with himself.
Of course, as a friendly neighbor, Ning Yuan is deeply sympathetic to the plight of Russian players.
At the same time, he also said that after he left the Lost Continent, he would definitely severely punish Ji Wushuang who disobeyed the military order, and he would definitely give a satisfactory answer to the Russian players when the time came.
In the face of Ning Yuan's shirking of responsibility, the representatives of the Russian players were very angry, and they said that they would definitely make Ning Yuan regret it.
Regarding the anger of the representatives of the Russian players, Ning Yuan expressed his understanding. When the representative of the Russian player turned to leave, out of a sense of responsibility, Ning Yuan also reminded the other party euphemistically.
Ning Yuan told the Russian player representative that Ji Wushuang's "rebel minister" was the commander-in-chief of the entire Heilongjiang, Outer Mongolia and the Far East of the Condor Empire, and that he had millions of troops under his command, and even the Tiger Legion recuperating in Heilongjiang listened to his deployment.
If it really doesn't work, the Russian player had better admit to Ji Wushuang first, because Ning Yuan still has to stay on the Lost Continent for several years.
If before he came out, Ji Wushuang and other countries had already destroyed Russia, then he couldn't help it.
Although Ning Yuan expressed it more tactfully, the representative of the Russian player still understood the meaning of his words at once.
What do you mean by admitting a cowardice?
Don't you just want them to cede their land and pay compensation?
Do you need to beat around the bush like that?
It's hypocritical.
The Russian players didn't have much hope for Ning Yuan, and after Ning Yuan hit a soft nail here, they immediately adopted a preparatory plan.
It's just a game, and they would rather die than pay reparations to other countries.
In order to prevent their army from continuing to be crushed by the Condor Army, they voluntarily abandoned a large area of territory and shrank all their troops to the west of the Ob and Irtysh rivers, with their backs to the Ural Mountains for stubborn defense.
The Russian player voluntarily ceded all the territory east of the Ob and Irtysh rivers and withdrew all the troops on the Russian-Kazakh border to the Ural Mountains.
After the withdrawal of Russian troops on the border, the Kazakh army was able to cross the Irtysh River and drive straight in.
When the time comes, facing the big fat of Siberia, I don't know who will make concessions between the Condor Army and the Kazakh players.
The purpose of the Russian player is clear, Siberia is a vast and sparsely populated region, and there are many independent indigenous kingdoms.
They were left to the enemy on their backs, scattering their already stretched forces and dragging them into the quagmire of a protracted war.
It's better to lure the enemy deeper, use the land to draw the two main enemies together, and then wait on the sidelines to see what happens, and then launch a counterattack depending on the situation when the opponent is defeated.
This move of the Russian player is very bold to retreat into advance, and it is impossible for either the Kazakh player or the Condor Army to give the fat to others.
As a result, the two armies soon encountered each other in the region of the Western Siberian Plain, and many fierce battles ensued.
As more and more armies of the two countries entered the region of the Western Siberian Plain, the scale of the war grew.
At the end of the battle, the Condor and the Chinese players occupied all Russian territory east of the Ob River.
The Kazakh player occupies the Russian territory between the Ob and Irtysh rivers.
Coupled with the area west of the Ob River and the Irtysh River, where the Russian players are located, the three parties temporarily formed a three-legged situation.
