Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

In ancient China, once generals who went out to fight were defeated or unfortunately captured, many people would often choose to die for their country.

The biggest reason why they made such a choice, apart from their deep-rooted loyalty to the emperor, was to leave a way out for their family members who stayed in the country.

When generals go out to fight, their families often stay in the capital, so that they can not only receive good care and protection, but also serve as hostages.

If they surrender to the enemy on the battlefield, their families back home are likely to be implicated.

It ranges from being demoted to being ostracized everywhere and unable to hold one's head up for the rest of his life; at worst, having his whole family executed and executed, the whole family has never recovered from this.

This is the current situation in Linhai Empire.

After learning that Hu Xiaotian was killed and the entire 600,000 elite army was destroyed, many tiger generals chose to resist to the end even though they knew they could not resist the attack of the Condor Army.

In addition to loyalty to Hu Xiaotian, the biggest reason is that the families of the tiger generals all live in Tiger King City.

If they choose to surrender to the Divine Eagle Army, their family members in Tiger King City are likely to be killed immediately.

Therefore, for the safety of their families, they had no choice but to fight to the death with the Condor Army.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Divine Eagle Army launched an attack on Tiger King City in winter.

Because if it was just to get the orcs from the three tribes to pay their certificates of nomination, Ning Yuanda could wait until after spring. After all, winter is really not a good season for marching and fighting.

It's just that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the Condor Empire has dispatched so many troops. Every extra day it drags on will increase their logistical pressure.

The Logistics Supply of the Condor Empire already had a big problem. Ning Yuan's forced launch of a full-scale war against the Linhai Empire this time has already begun to overdraw the national power of the Condor Empire, so he really can't afford to delay it.

However, some things are not just what Ning Yuan wants.

The enemy relied on a fortified city with a restricted airspace to defend the city, and the roads were blocked by heavy snow in winter. Most of the infantry regiments of the Condor Army were in the area east of Liupan Mountain. The cavalry sent by Ningyuan did not have the ability to attack the city.

The cavalry can only encircle and block the enemy, but cannot destroy the enemy in the city. Therefore, if the enemy does not surrender in a desperate fight,

Ning Yuan didn't have much to do with them.

Just when Ning Yuan was troubled because all the enemies refused to surrender, Hu Lie brought Ning Yuan good news.

According to Hu Lie, most of the captured Tiger soldiers have chosen to surrender. Only some senior generals in the Tiger army would rather die than surrender, but they do not really regard death as home.

They made a condition, which was to rescue their family from Tiger King City.

As long as they are successfully reunited with their families, they can serve the Condor Empire.

The news sent by Hu Lie was a timely blessing for Ning Yuan, who was worried about the war, and he suddenly became enlightened.

After finding the key to breaking the situation, Ning Yuan immediately asked the captured tiger generals to be interrogated individually, and obtained detailed information from them about the guards in various places in the Linhai Empire.

Just at this time, the messenger sent by Ma Wanli for help arrived, so Ning Yuan immediately asked Ross Shengguang to lead a hundred thousand flying legions to rush to the Tarim Basin with a secret list.

After Ross Holy Light found all the family members of the Khajiit guards on the list, he immediately led 20,000 Silver Pegasus knights to Jiayuguan.

After reuniting with the centaur army that besieged Jiayuguan, they came directly to the city of Jiayuguan, and then in front of the Jiayuguan garrison, they escorted out all the family members of the tiger guards stationed in the Hexi Corridor.

Along the way, the Condor Army not only did not abuse the Tiger family members, but also gave them the best care. Therefore, except for the look of fear on their faces at this moment, their overall mental outlook was pretty good. .

"The defenders on the city wall heard clearly, these Khajiit women and children in front of you are all the family members of the senior Khajiit generals stationed in the Hexi Corridor.

You can report to your immediate superiors now and tell them to surrender to the Condor Empire unconditionally immediately, otherwise their families will take the first step. "

After seeing the densely packed tiger warriors on the city wall, Ross immediately flew over the tiger family members, and then began to persuade the defenders of Jiayuguan to surrender.

Although the centaur army besieging Jiayuguan had already eliminated a tiger army that had launched an attack before, the defender of Jiayuguan did not join them in the battle, so when he saw his wife and children being captured by the Condor Army, , there is a high chance that Kaicheng will surrender directly.

As the general guarding Jiayuguan, Hu Bin has been having a hard time recently.

After his best friend led the army to war and never came back, he knew that his old friend was probably in danger.

After losing a large number of troops on both the east and west sides of the Hexi Corridor, the Tigers in the Hexi Corridor area were no longer able to fight out, so they could only rely on the Great Wall and Fort to defend.

These days, the centaur army outside Jiayuguan just wandered around outside and did not attack the city, so Hu Bin simply stopped going to the city wall. He just stayed in the mansion and drank alone every day, trying to use alcohol to anesthetize himself.

"General, something bad has happened. The Condor Army has captured my wife and several young masters, and is now escorting them outside the city to persuade them to surrender."

On this day, Hu Bin was drinking by himself as usual. The soldiers he left on the city wall ran into the yard sweating profusely and brought him bad news.

Hearing that his wife and children had been captured by the enemy, Hu Bin, who was half drunk and half awake, suddenly woke up. He threw the wine glass on the ground, grabbed the soldier by the collar and confirmed: " Did you see my wife and son outside the city with your own eyes, or was it just random talk from the enemy?"

The soldier ignored Hu Bin's rude action and replied: "General, what I saw with my own eyes is that there are not only your wife and children down there, but also the family members of several other generals.

I took a cursory look and it seemed that the families of all the generals stationed in the Hexi Corridor were under the city. "

After hearing the soldier's answer, Hu Bin immediately fell to the ground and was speechless for a long time.

All the family members of their generals stationed abroad all live in Tiger King City. Now that those family members suddenly fell into the hands of the Condor Army, there is only one possibility, that is, Tiger King City has been lost.

Tiger King City is the capital of the Linhai Empire. In the city, there are not only the families of high-ranking generals like them, but also the royal tiger clan of the Hu Xiaotian lineage.

The fall of the Tiger King City marked that the Tiger King clan in the Linhai Empire had been basically wiped out. Except for the eldest prince who commanded the troops on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the once glorious Tiger King tribe had disappeared.

"Hey, I can't protect myself, so how can I worry about other people's affairs? That's all, that's all. Anyway, His Majesty Hu Xiaotian is no longer here. I'd better save my wife and children first, and then find a good place with mountains and water. Spend the rest of your life quietly!" Hu Bin laughed to himself.

After paying attention, he immediately got up from the ground and said to the soldiers: "Let's go and meet the Condor Army to see what their plans are."
