Chapter 814: Frustration

(Wait a few minutes)

After Ma Wanli and the three of them led the army into the Tarim Basin and found that the Tiger King City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, he immediately sent people back to report to Ning Yuan, and asked Ning Yuan to send a flying legion to assist them in attacking the city.

When Ning Yuan learned that the other orc clans in the Tarim Basin had surrendered directly to the Condor Army without any resistance, he only replied to Ma Wanli with three words: Surrender.

In Ning Yuan's opinion, no matter how domineering the Tiger Race of the Linhai Empire was, how bad it was to the other Orc Clans.

However, during the reign of the Tiger Race, the other Orcs have been working hard and have not resisted, which shows that the Tiger Race has absolute deterrence against other Orcs.

Today the Condor Army came in, and they surrendered directly to the Condor Army, so tomorrow when other armies come in, they will also surrender to each other.

This situation is something that Ning Yuan does not want to see.

In Ningyuan's strategic planning, the Xinjiang region will exist as the frontier of the Condor Empire in the northwest for a long time in the future, so he absolutely cannot allow a huge force to exist in the local area with half-heartedness.

Although Ning Yuan has absolute confidence in the army under his command, he is not afraid of 10,000 before he is defeated, so he must nip all hidden dangers in the bud.

In order to prevent those orcs of the Linhai Empire from being the grass on the wall when the battle situation is unfavorable, they will be tied to the chariot of the Condor Empire forever.

Ning Yuan hoped that they would attack the Tiger King City, let them personally end the rule of the Tiger Clan over the Linhai Empire, and send the descendants of the Tiger Roaring Heaven on their last journey.

In fact, the flying legion of the Condor Empire rushed to the Junggar Basin very early, but they were only the last insurance to break through the Tiger King City, and they would not be easily dispatched until the critical moment.

......

As the bear-man warriors got closer and closer to the walls, the atmosphere on the battlefield became more and more solemn.

"Charge!"

When the shield-wielding bear-man warriors reached a distance of just over thirty meters from the city wall, they immediately let out an earth-shattering roar, and then accelerated towards the jungle of spears in front of them.

Soon, the bear-man warriors with their shields collided with the spear formation of the tiger-man defenders.

Under the huge impact force, the spears in the hands of the tiger warriors broke a lot, and many people involuntarily took several steps back.

Similarly, the bear-man warriors didn't take much advantage.

The shields in their hands did not fully protect their tall bodies, and many of the bear-man warriors were pierced through their bodies by sharp spears, or even hung directly on their spears.

"Kill!"

After seeing the first row of bear-man warriors and survivors, the tiger-man warriors immediately threw away their spears and pounced on the enemy with their flesh.

Although the bearmen warriors are tall and thick-skinned, they have not received formal militarized training after all, and their bodies are a little heavy after long hours of heavy physical labor.

On the other hand, the 10,000 tiger guards in Tiger King City, they are all the elite of the tiger people, and their hand-to-hand combat ability is no worse than those tiger fighting masters.

So when the tigerman defenders rushed over and launched a fierce attack on the bearren warriors, those bearren warriors who had not received formal training were suddenly at an absolute disadvantage.

Xiong Dalin, who was standing on the high platform and commanding, saw that the hand-to-hand combat of the clansmen was not the opponent of the tiger defenders at all, and he immediately shouted:

"Bear cubs, don't engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, let me keep rushing forward, use my body to hit their defenses, make room for those behind me, let them rush up the walls, and kill the enemy with numbers."

After Xiong Dalin realized that the situation was wrong, he quickly thought of a countermeasure.

In hand-to-hand combat in a small area, the bearman warriors are no match for the tigerman defenders at all.

The bear-men had no combat experience, and after they stormed the walls, they foolishly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the tigerman defenders.

In doing so, they not only blocked their own people behind them, but also neutralized their own superiority in troops.

When the person in front falls, the person behind can rush up.

As a result, the number of people fighting with the tiger defenders was always dozens, and it couldn't put any pressure on the tiger defenders at all.

If it continues like this, then even if the 30,000 bear warriors are exhausted, they will probably not be able to break through the Tiger King City.

Fortunately, Xiong Dalin, the patriarch, is still very strategic, and he saw what the problem was at a glance, and then responded in time.

After hearing Xiong Dalin's order, the bear warriors who had already rushed to the city no longer cared about the annoying tiger warriors around them, they all regarded themselves as a small tank, and rushed forward unreasonably.

In the face of the savage collision of the bearman warriors, the tigerman defenders did not dare to use their bodies to make a hard connection, so they could only dodge.

However, they can dodge the first wave of impact, and they can dodge the second wave of impact, but they can't hide indefinitely forever, because the dense density of bear warriors on the ice passage all adopt the same strategy.

"The death squad will give me a top."

After seeing more and more bearman warriors rushing to the city wall, the tiger generals in charge of the command immediately sent an emergency team reserved in advance.

After receiving the order, the tigerman defenders who had been waiting nearby immediately rushed to the enemy.

In the face of the unreasonable physical tactics of the bear warriors, they won without showing weakness, and then plunged their swords into the enemy's body.

Under the fierce onslaught of the Tiger Death Squad, the tide of battle on the city wall was reversed again.

A large number of bearman warriors were killed, and the tigerman defenders regained their lost positions.

"Put oil on the fire."

After recapturing the position, the Tigerman commander gave the order again.

Upon receiving the order, a group of tigerman warriors armed with firewood and barrels of fire oil immediately rushed over, and then poured firewood and fire oil on the enemies who were crowded on the ice and snow passages.

After discovering that his body was drenched in fire oil, the formation of the bearman warriors immediately broke out into a commotion.

Everyone knew what would happen if they were doused with oil, so the bear-man warriors who had been doused with oil could no longer bother attacking the enemy in front of them, and they began to turn and retreat.

However, the ice and snow passage was already full of dense bear-man warriors, and the people behind were waiting to charge the city wall, so those bear-man warriors who were drenched with fire oil could not retreat at all.

After discovering that the rear road had been blocked, some men began to rush forward with red eyes, trying to clash the enemy's lines before they set fire.

Others rushed towards the sides of the ice and snow passage, and they jumped directly regardless of how high the ice and snow passage was.

As the tigerman defenders threw the torches over, the fire oil on the ice and snow passage immediately burst into their hands, and then many of the bear warriors who were drenched in the fire oil also caught fire on their bodies.

As the tigerman defenders continued to throw firewood and oil on the ice and snow passage, the section of the ice and snow passage connected to the city wall immediately turned into a sea of fire, and many bear warriors rolled down the ice and snow passage while wailing.

As Ma Wanli had predicted, the Tigerman defenders once again used the fire tactic when the Bearren warriors were attacking the city.

Seeing that those tall bear warriors were directly and completely defeated by the enemy's fire, and now everyone was standing there blindly at a loss, Rose, who was watching from behind, shook his head in disappointment and said, "The seedlings are all good seedlings, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

"There's no way, in the short time that the Linhai Empire has ruled, they have been suppressed too much.

The long years of adversity have already smoothed out all their water chestnuts, and if it weren't for Xiong Dalin, a patriarch who can mobilize their fighting spirit, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to rush up the city wall. ”

Ma Wanli also gave his own opinion.

After listening to Ma Wanli's opinion, Rose nodded and said, "This Xiong Dalin is really good, and then it will be up to him to see if he can turn the tide." ”

Ma Wanli chimed in: "I hope he won't let us down." ”

......

After seeing that the morale of the clansmen was burned by the enemy's fire, Xiong Dalin turned blue and shouted at the clansmen who were in a daze: "What are you looking at? Wherever there are immortals in war, cheer me up.

Immediately abandon all the ice and snow passages that have been burned by the fire oil, and then focus on the ice and snow passages that are still unharmed. ”

Although the Tiger Defenders' fire oil offensive was very unsolvable, due to the limited amount of fire oil and firewood left in Tiger King City, they only burned half of the ice and snow passages, and half of the ice and snow passages were still intact.

However, although those ice and snow passages are still intact, because the tigerman warriors chose to burn only the separated ones when they burned the ice and snow passages, the bearman warriors who were not attacked by fire next to them were also greatly affected.

When they saw their companions who had been together day and night falling from the ice and snow passages, and seeing that many people had turned into burning people, and listening to the miserable screams of those companions, their morale was suddenly greatly hit.

Fearing that they would suffer the same fate, they simply could not concentrate on the attack, so they were immediately driven back to the ice passage by the tigerman defenders on the city wall.

If it weren't for the long-range attacks of those centaur warriors outside the city wall, it is estimated that the tigerman defenders on the city wall would take advantage of the situation to directly counterattack, and maybe they could completely defeat the bearman warriors in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, the timely follow-up of those centaur warriors outside the city wall successfully dispelled this idea of the tigerman defenders, otherwise there would be no need to continue the siege today.

After being awakened by Xiong Dalin's roar, the bear warriors on the burned ice and snow passages immediately retreated, and then concentrated behind the ice and snow passages that were still intact, preparing to continue the siege.

The bear-man warriors on the ice passages, who had not been attacked by fire, once again charged the walls with their shields raised.

It's just that due to the impact of the fire attack just now, when they charged again, they no longer had the sharpness they had before, and everyone hesitated, worried that the enemy would launch another fire attack.

Without the spirit of attack, the bearman warriors, who were already seriously lacking in personal strength, could not break through the defense line of the tigerman defenders at all.

Although they were still instinctively rushing forward because of Xiong Dalin's order, this kind of soft charge was basically no different from taking the initiative to send people to the head.

So the situation on the battlefield soon turned into a unilateral slaughter of the bear-man warriors who were carrying their heads side by side.

Seeing the clansmen constantly falling under the spears of the tiger defenders, Xiong Dalin's face was extremely difficult to see.

But no matter how much he shouted from behind, the already frightened bear-man warriors couldn't get back together.

Just when Xiong Dalin was so angry that he was about to personally lead the team to rush forward, Ma Wanli and Rose came to Xiong Dalin's side.

Ma Wanli grabbed Xiong Dalin, who was about to go to the battlefield in person, and said, "Patriarch Xiong Dalin, Mingjin will withdraw his troops first, and he can't continue to fight." ”

Seeing that someone was pulling him, Xiong Dalin just wanted to scold, but after turning around and seeing that it was Ma Wanli, he immediately swallowed the swear words that came to his mouth, and then said unwillingly:

"General Ma, you're giving us a chance, so many bear cubs have died in battle, we can't just withdraw like this, otherwise wouldn't those bear cubs die in vain?"

Looking at Xiong Dalin's bloodshot eyes, Ma Wanli patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Patriarch Xiong Dalin, your clansmen will not die in vain, because the enemy's reserves of firewood and fire oil have been exhausted.

However, now that they have lost their sharpness, and it is the first time they have been on the battlefield, it is difficult to adjust immediately.

So we have to get them to pull down and adjust, otherwise there will only be unnecessary sacrifices.

Believe me, when we attack the city next time, the Tiger King City will be broken. ”

"Bear cubs, stop fighting, take me down immediately."

Although he was very unwilling, Ma Wanli was very reasonable, so Xiong Dalin finally chose to suspend the siege.

After hearing Xiong Dalin's order, the bear warriors who were crowded on the ice and snow passage were immediately relieved, and they quickly turned around and withdrew from the ice and snow passage.

After seeing that all the bear warriors had withdrawn, Ma Wanli said to Xiong Dalin: "Patriarch Xiong Dalin, you go and gather your clansmen together first, and then enlighten them well, and I will come later." ”

"Mattei, bring me people to guard all the ice and snow passages, and once the tiger defenders in the city come out to sabotage, they will attack immediately."

After Xiong Dalin left, Ma Wanli commanded his subordinates beside him.

"Yes, General." After receiving the order, Mattei immediately began to organize his men to defend it.

While Ma Wanli was arranging the aftermath, the battle reports of the eastern and northern battlefields were also transmitted, and like the bears, the boars and minotaurs also suffered defeats.

After arranging all the follow-up matters, Ma Wanli turned to Rose beside him and said with a smile: "General Rose, I disappointed you, and then I will trouble you to go on a trip yourself." ”

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and it is already very good that a group of people who have never been on the battlefield can fight like this, you can rest assured, I will take the flying legion to help them regain their confidence."

After hugging his fist at Ma Wanli, Rose immediately rose into the air and left.
