The grand strategy of the nomads is the same no matter where they are. They rely on mobility to attack the enemy's weak points, and rely on cruelty to destroy the enemy's will. Therefore, games such as massacre of the city and not sealing the sword for three days are also very fun for the nomads who are lost in the land.
slip.
This method is effective against ordinary countries and ordinary cities. The timid people within the enemy will choose to take the initiative to help because of the tragic situation of the example before them, and disintegrate their own people from within, just looking for a way out.
But for the magic tower, this trick is not so easy to use.
A tower can support twenty people to death, and the tower owner has absolute authority; in the face of war, the tower owner does not rely on people to fight, but relies on the magic tower to fight. Therefore, whoever dares to show cowardice in front of the tower owner and make surrender remarks will be directly
Just kill him without saying any nonsense, and you can save one person's food rations.
Therefore, for the party that wants to attack the magic tower, there are only two options left: hard attack and food deprivation tactics.
If you want to surround and kill the people in the tower, you have to consider that the attack range of the magic tower is tens of kilometers (km), how many troops are needed to completely surround them, and how much price they have to pay to destroy the magic tower.
The surrounding area of the tower is reduced to scorched earth, and most importantly, how long will it take for the magic tower to run out of food?
If the tower owner dares to do something extraordinary, he can spend several years with one person and one tower fighting an army of hundreds of thousands. For example, he can use his apprentices as emergency rations...
Therefore, those lords who are interested in targeting magic towers rarely choose encirclement tactics. Because it consumes huge manpower and material resources, it is very likely that the expected results will not be obtained. After all, as long as the opponent survives one tower owner, he can maintain complete combat effectiveness.
If you attack hard, no magic tower is invincible. But before you can achieve your goal, the person who issued the order must be willing to sacrifice a lot. Facing a war fortress, there is no easy way out.
In the aggressive war launched by the Suritan Empire, its cruel behavior after it invaded the enemy's country aroused dissatisfaction with the owner of the magic tower who was in the enemy's territory and favored the enemy's country, so he rejected the request to surrender to the empire.
As the saying goes, when the emperor is angry, the ground will be red for thousands of miles. This situation will also happen in the Lost Land. It is true that many people died this time, but it was tens of thousands of corpses left by the attacking soldiers. On the side of the Magic Tower
After all calculations, there are only five people. The tower owner, his wife, and three students include one official magician and two apprentices.
In order to scare the monkeys, the Great Khan of the Suli Tang Empire ordered to kill all the prisoners. Even though there were only five of them, tearing them alive was not enough to relieve the army; then he knocked down the magic tower, leaving not a single stone behind! Such cruelty really made the army angry.
The owner of the second magic tower he came into contact with surrendered voluntarily and promised not to be an enemy of the empire.
What followed was the most puzzling order in this war, which came from the mouth of the Khan of the Golden Family: trap and kill, push down the tower, and leave no stone behind!
The original intention of the tower owner in surrendering was just to let the conquering army pass by. He would break away from the position of the invaded country and no longer interfere in any war actions of the empire. Just like the original magic tower in the Sulitang Empire, the two parties were at peace with each other.
Nothing happened. But in the end, the bodies of him, his students, and family members were pierced by wooden stakes and stood on the ruins of what was once the magic tower.
No one's position as tower master is secure. There must be a bloody accumulation in the early stage, and it may even be the result of several generations. Although the completed magic tower cannot become one's own family, or one's own students can inherit it.
legacy, but the magicians who built the tower viewed their contributions to the world from a higher perspective.
Magicians believe that the magic tower that goes deep into the wilderness is a refuge for travelers and a vanguard to protect civilization. Each additional magic tower can protect more people in an area and open up an extra inch of land in the wilderness.
.
Under such a premise, anyone who knocks down a magic tower is like touching the nerves of the entire magician community. If it is the kind of magic tower built in the city to serve the noble lords, then forget it; if it is that kind of magic tower
To be alone at the forefront of the war against monsters, or to have a magic tower knocked down deep in the wilderness, is simply a taboo for the entire magician community.
Even if we don't talk about ideals, a magic tower is the foundation of the tower owner, the last fortress, and the burial place destined for him. If it is about rules and morality, then forget it. But threatening a tower with blood
The Lord just releases the beast in their hearts. Those who can become Tower Masters were once ruthless people.
Therefore, after the tragedy of the second tower, almost all the magic towers in the Sulitang Empire rebelled. The magicians used tower magic unscrupulously to bombard the tribesmen left behind by the empire, as long as the opponent entered the attack range of the magic tower.
中. A large and the most powerful empire and group of magicians in the contemporary era, instantly entered a state of all-out war.
The nomadic army almost does not need supplies from the rear, but that does not mean that they will cut off contact with the rear. When the Khan of the Golden Family learned about the fire in the backyard, of course he was so proud that he could not choose to compromise, but kept a high profile and
Counterattack without leaving any room.
The army used for invasion divided up and attacked, knocking down magic towers one after another. Let the world understand that compared to magicians, they are the real rulers of this world!
Such a move did not make the tower owners choose to surrender. Instead, the Magic Tower, which had no intention of confronting the Suritan Empire, also embarked on a hostile path. Even the Golden Khan Court was divided by the Dushanbe Division of the Magician Association.
The headquarters magic tower will be destroyed.
Whether it was the soldiers who stayed behind who wanted to disarm the magic tower, or the magicians who used tower magic to brutally kill women and children, so the Khan Court launched a counterattack, the cause is unknown. In short, the most brutal battle in the Northern War was
It happened at the Dushanbe District Headquarters of the Golden Khan Court and the Magician Association, which were originally interdependent.
The attack magic used by the tower all belongs to the strategic level, which means wide-area attacks. There is no way to distinguish between soldiers and women and children. Not to mention that for nomadic people, anyone who can mount a horse or hold a bow can be considered
There is no way to strictly distinguish between soldiers and civilians. They can only be distinguished based on age and gender.
Therefore, the Golden Khan Court, which was mainly composed of women and children, with a few elite troops left behind, was completely destroyed by the magic tower of the district headquarters. Perhaps in the counterattack launched by the Magician Association, this was not the war with the largest casualties in the Sulitang Empire, but
This was definitely a turning point in the fate of this northern empire.
The final result of the war was that the Suritan Empire broke with the entire magician community. The two magician association districts in the empire, Dushanbe District and Ashha District, were destroyed, and all magic towers in the territory were bulldozed.
The price paid by the secular government was that an empire powerful enough to sweep across the land almost fell apart. The authority of the Golden Family was no longer there, and the leaders of various places were almost independent. Even the hawks in the remaining four empires believed that there were only four empires left in the land.
, where does the theory of five come from.
The biggest reason for all this is that for a powerful regime, the magic tower that was built at a huge cost failed to bring them any war dividends.
A magician's collection? Can this be compared to the wealth of an empire? Even if it is even more valuable, what about the quantity?
Food? A magic tower can provide enough food for a dozen people at most. Even if it lasts for a year, it wouldn’t even be enough to feed an army.
Population? In other words, women and children... Just the few kittens in the magic tower were all captured. Can they compare to so many dead soldiers?
Conclusion: Attacking the Magic Tower without any reason is a loss-making business for a country.
The high-profile invasion of the Suli Tang Empire made all the countries in the world tense up, and even military offensive and defensive alliances began to be brewed under the table. As a result, the most powerful country in the world stumbled heavily, and it seems that
Get up, or the kind that can't get up.
All the nobles, generals and kings who were paying attention to this war, for the first time raised the loose organization of the Magician Association to an equal status with them, and faced it seriously. Because it is impossible not to do this, a person so powerful that no one dares to look directly at it.
The empire has been ruined by the masters.
Only then did everyone notice what kind of existence the magic towers dotted across the Lost Continent were. For rulers who intend to invade and annex other countries, negotiations with the Magician Association have become an unavoidable obstacle.
Threshold.
The most damning thing is that even if the association makes a decision, there will still be a considerable number of tower owners who act on their own and do not obey orders. The association does not have absolute authority over the tower owners, and it is worse than the king over the noble lords everywhere.
.
It was also the first time since the Northern War that representatives of the powerful regimes in the Lost Lands sat together in order to negotiate a way to get along with the Magician Association. This included clarifying the territory of X ten days (10 kilometers) around the Magic Tower, and the station.
In a neutral position, it does not interfere with the rule of nobles everywhere. There is also a clause that in the magic tower, the tower owner has the power of life and death, which is also clearly recorded in this period.
These agreements seemed like the nobles recognized many of the powers held by the masters of the magic tower, but they invisibly stifled the development of the magic tower in terms of power. Of course, the mages could not understand the nobles' calculations, but they still accepted it.
After all, for most magicians, they would rather focus on studying magic and are not so keen on operating power. These agreements can be regarded as each getting what he needs.
In short, since the saying "I come, I see, I conquer" has never existed in Lost Land, it is unlikely that it will exist in the future. Because no force can ignore the magic towers standing everywhere and invade others at will. And the magicians
The likes and dislikes of people are not like ordinary people, who can be influenced by some inconspicuous righteousness.
And in the same situation, if it were left to those empires or forces that had left a great reputation in history, would they be able to break through such a predicament?
Countless military scientists, generals commanding troops, and those who wear crowns or crowns and have noble bloodlines all have the same understanding: it is impossible. Even a thousand years ago, the darkness that once ruled the land was
