Chapter 813, the prelude to the siege
(Please watch in 10 minutes)
After receiving assurances from Ma Wanli and the others, Xiong Dalin and the three of them immediately sent people back to the tribe and began to gather men.
After promising a series of preferential conditions and a bright future to all the orcs living in the Tarim Basin, many orcs who were unwilling to be ordinary carried large bags and small bags in the direction of Tiger King City.
In just half a month, more than 400,000 orcs gathered around Tiger King City.
In addition to the bearmen, boars, and minotaurs, werewolves, leopards, rabbits, and other orc tribes also came, and most of them were young people.
Although many orcs in the Tarim Basin have become accustomed to daily labor such as herding, mining, and logging, they are accustomed to serving the tiger people.
But no one is willing to live their lives like this, especially the young orcs.
Compared with being servants of the Tiger People all their lives, they want to take advantage of their youth to see the outside world and have a good time while they are young.
Even if they fail to achieve any results in the end, or even die in a foreign country, they will not hesitate.
Because they have worked hard for their ideals, although they have no regrets!
It's a pity that during the reign of the Linhai Empire, without the consent of the tiger people, they could not even leave their own areas of residence without permission, so they didn't even have the opportunity to work hard for their ideals.
With the appearance of the Condor Army, they gradually saw the light, so when they learned that the Condor Army had recruited labor to build ice and snow passages on a large scale, they immediately called friends, prepared their own dry food and tents, and rushed to Tiger King City.
Although they can't attack Tiger King City, they can still do the task of building ice and snow passages outside the city.
When the first batch of orc laborers arrived in Tiger King City, Ma Wanli immediately arranged for them to start building the ice and snow passage.
As more and more orc laborers rushed to Tiger King City, the entire outside of Tiger King City was full of hot scenes.
Seeing that there were dozens of ice and snow passages outside each city wall approaching the city wall little by little, the tiger people in the Tiger King City finally couldn't sit still.
"Is there any news from my eldest brother? When exactly will our reinforcements arrive? General Hufeng, you haven't been perfunctory to me, have you? ”
In the palace of Tiger King City, a young tiger man was confronted by a tall tiger man with a scar on his face.
The young tiger man's name is Tiger Picking Moon, he is the second son of Tiger Roaring Heaven, and after Tiger Roaring Heaven died in battle, he is currently in Tiger King City, and his identity is the most noble.
Seeing the impatience on Hu Jieyue's face, Hu Feng squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Second prince, I have already sent out the messenger for help, as for when the eldest prince can lead the army to rescue Tiger King City, it is not up to me."
Maybe the reinforcements will feel it in a few days, or maybe the reinforcements will never appear. ”
Hearing that reinforcements would never appear, Tiger Picking Moon was immediately furious, he opened his eyes wide, glared at Tiger Peak, and asked, "Tiger Peak, what do you mean by this?" ”
didn't care about the attitude of the tiger picking the moon, Hu Feng said lightly: "Second prince, you don't think that after Your Majesty dies in battle, we are still in an advantageous position!"
Let me tell you the truth, none of the messengers we send out will necessarily be able to find the Great Prince.
Do you think that we are attacked by the Condor Army here, and the Great Prince will be safe there?
It is likely that the eldest prince is now leading the army to fight against the Condor Army, and it is also possible that the eldest prince has been defeated and martyred.
Instead of pinning your hopes elsewhere, you might as well rest and prepare to fight your enemies to the death. ”
"Those untouchables outside have all taken refuge in the Condor Army, and now the enemy is besieging more than 10,000 of us, you tell me, how to fight to the death?" Tiger Picking Moon roared loudly.
"Killing one is enough, killing two earns one, killing three earns a pair." Hu Feng looked indifferent.
"Tiger Peak, did you already know that there could be no reinforcements?" After listening to Hu Feng's answer, Hu Jieyue's face immediately darkened.
Glancing at Tiger Picking Moon, who was already on the verge of collapse, Tiger Feng suddenly cracked his mouth and replied with a smile: "That's right, from the moment the Condor Army attacked the Tarim Basin, I knew that we were finished.
Because in order to prevent an enemy from directly attacking the Tarim Basin, His Majesty deployed an army there at Jiayuguan.
Now that the enemy has entered, there is a high probability that the army that His Majesty has arranged in Jiayuguan has been defeated, otherwise it is impossible for the enemy to blatantly attack in.
The eldest prince was ordered by His Majesty to garrison the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and he would definitely be the first to be attacked by the Condor Army.
Even if the enemy has not yet invaded the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, as long as they block the passage of the Hexi Corridor, the army of the Great Prince will never be able to return to the Tiger King City, so when the Condor Army appears here, we are destined to have no reinforcements. ”
"Then why didn't you say it earlier." Tiger Picking Moon yelled at Tiger Peak.
Glancing at the green and vigorous Tiger Picking Moon with disdain, Hu Feng sneered: "What? Had I told you sooner that the outcome would have been different?
Or if he had known earlier that there were no reinforcements, the second prince would not have led the army to resist, but would have surrendered directly to the Condor Army? ”
"You..." Tiger Picking Moon was so stunned by Tiger Feng that he couldn't speak at all.
Looking at Hu Jieyue, who was hurt by his own words, Hu Feng suddenly reprimanded loudly: "Hu Jieyue, you are the second prince of the Linhai Empire, and Hu Xiaotian is your own son, he was killed by the army of that country outside."
Are you still going to surrender to your father's killer? ”
"I..."
"What am I, I tell you that the tiger picks the moon, His Majesty the Tiger Roaring Heaven has lived to the top of the sky and the earth all his life, and I will not allow anyone to tarnish his reputation after he dies in battle.
As the son of His Majesty, you have only one way to choose now, and that is to fight to the death, and repay Your Majesty for raising you with death.
If you dare to mention the matter of surrender, then don't blame me for committing the following crimes, and I will directly clean up the portal for Your Majesty. ”
Hu Feng didn't give Hu Jieyue a chance to open his mouth at all, and directly blocked all his retreats.
After seeing Hu Feng's serious expression, Hu Jieyue knew that this old subordinate of his father really dared to cut him on the spot, so he could only snort coldly, and then turned around and left with the guards.
Looking at the back of Hu Jieyue in the distance, Hu Feng immediately ordered the soldiers beside him: "Hu Tai, you immediately lead a team of soldiers to monitor the second prince and his fox friends for me, and if they have any abnormal behavior, take it down directly for me." ”
"Yes, General." Hutai was ordered to leave.
As more and more orcs rushed to the vicinity of Tiger King City, the construction of the ice and snow passage progressed faster and faster.
In less than half a month, countless ice and snow passages as high as the city walls appeared around Tiger King City.
During the time when the orcs were building the Ice and Snow Passage, the defenders of Tiger King City did not use the tactics of fire attack again.
They used to walk from the city walls to the top of the ice passages, and used axes and hammers to destroy the ice and snow passages.
However, the speed at which they destroy is simply not as fast as the speed at which the Condor Army can repair it, and every time they come out to destroy, they will be attacked by the Centaur warriors from a distance, which greatly reduces their destruction efficiency.
After losing hundreds of Tiger warriors in a row, they finally had to give up the destruction of the ice and snow passages.
In order to prevent the Condor Army from sneaking up at night, they placed a team of tiger warriors on the city wall connected to each ice and snow passage to be stationed, and then waited for the Condor Army to launch a general attack.
After all the ice and snow passages were built, Ma Wanli once again gathered Xiong Dalin and the three together.
After the three of them arrived, Ma Wanli said directly: "Three patriarchs, all the ice and snow passages have been built, and we will launch a general attack on Tiger King City immediately after dawn tomorrow."
With so many ice and snow passages, the tigerman defenders in the city want to defend each one, their forces will definitely be very scattered, and the wood and fire oil in their hands are not enough to burn all the ice and snow passages.
So I won't say too much nonsense, I hope that the three patriarchs can break through the Tiger King City in one fell swoop, and whether the Condor Empire can have an additional Tarim orc hoplite legion depends on your performance tomorrow.
Here, I would like to wish you all the best tomorrow and a victorious start. ”
All the preparations are ready, and then it's time to look at the last trembling, Ma Wanli's main purpose in gathering the three of them is to cheer them up.
"Please rest assured, General Ma, the warriors of our three clans are no worse than the tiger people, and tomorrow, we will let you see our true strength." Zhu Dachang patted his chest and assured Ma Wanli.
"General Ma, we will prove to you that we have the strength to win the favor of His Majesty Ning Yuan, and when the time comes, we will ask General Ma to say a few more good words for us in front of His Majesty Ning Yuan." Niu Dashi clenched his fists at Ma Wanli and said.
After returning the salute with fists clasped towards Niu Dashi, Ma Wanli said with a smile: "Three patriarchs, please rest assured, how many merits your three clans have made, I will truthfully report to Your Majesty."
So how much reward you can get from Your Majesty depends on your performance tomorrow. ”
......
After everyone set up with each other for a while, and after enhancing their feelings for each other, the pre-war mobilization meeting ended happily.
The next morning, the Condor army outside the city woke up from their deep sleep early, and after a hearty breakfast, the 90,000 troops of the bear-people, minotaurs, and wild boars attacked the Tiger King City from three directions at the same time.
Xiong Dalin's Bear People were responsible for attacking Tiger King City from the west, while the other two clans were responsible for the east and north respectively.
After the 30,000 bear warriors lined up, Xiong Dalin came to the high platform in front of the team and shouted loudly:
"Bear cubs in the Tarim Basin, we have stronger physiques than the Tiger Humans, and our strength is greater than that of the Tiger Tribes, and we should have made great achievements on the battlefield with swords in our hands.
However, Tiger Roar dislikes us for being cumbersome and slow, and he has a saber-toothed tiger army in his hands, suppressing us at every turn, forcing us to mine, to cut wood, and to use them as cattle and horses.
Tell me out loud, cubs, would you like to spend your whole life in those dark and cold caves, dealing with those cold stones? ”
"I don't want to."
"Are you willing to go to the forest farm for the rest of your life to carry wood?"
"I don't want to."
"Are you willing to be a slave to the Tiger Clan for the rest of your life and be inferior for the rest of your life?"
"I don't want to."
"Very good, since everyone is unwilling to work as a coolie for the rest of their lives, then I will show you a clear path now."
Xiong Dalin turned around and pointed to the Tiger King City in the distance with his finger, and roared loudly: "Do you see the city in front?"
It was the Tiger King City, the old nest of the Tiger People.
As long as we can capture the Tiger King City, His Majesty Ning Yuan of the Condor Empire will give us an identity equal to all races in the Condor Empire, and select some people from among the warriors who are besieging the city today to form the Tarim Heavy Infantry Legion.
The opportunity is already in front of us, and it is up to us whether we can seize it or not.
Bear cubs, whether you can change your fate and soar into the sky from now on depends on today's battle.
No matter what your ideals are, only by conquering the Tiger King City will you have a chance to get everything you want.
So what are you waiting for? Rush me! ”
"Rush!"
The bearman warriors who were successfully mobilized by Xiong Dalin roared angrily as they boarded the ice and snow passage covered with licorice and mud, and then followed the ice and snow passage and approached the Tiger King City step by step.
After seeing the enemy begin to attack, the tigerman defenders on the other side of the ice passage immediately arranged a jungle of spears on the top of the city.
Dozens of tigerman warriors held sharp spears and aimed the tips of their spears at the approaching bearren warriors.
"This Xiong Dalin is a talent, and he has a good hand at mobilizing the soldiers' fighting spirit, but I don't know if this person is reliable."
When the siege battle was about to break out, a Seraphic warrior with six pairs of blood-colored wings of light suddenly appeared beside Ma Wanli.
After seeing Xiong Dalin's performance, the Seraphic warrior immediately commented on Xiong Dalin.
Glancing at Rose Holy Light beside him, Ma Wanli smiled meaningfully and said, "It doesn't matter if he has two hearts?"
After today, I am afraid that they will have no choice but to choose to sacrifice their loyalty to His Majesty. ”
"By the way, General Ross, is our flying legion already in place?" Suddenly, something came to mind, and Ma Wanli immediately asked.
After nodding at Ma Wanli, Rose replied, "General Ma, please rest assured, 50,000 owl warriors and 50,000 silver Pegasus knights have arrived at the designated location.
As long as they receive the order, they can feel the Tiger King City within three hours, so the Tiger King City will be broken.
However, Your Majesty means that if you can not use the Flying Legion, it is better not to use it, I believe you should have received instructions from Your Majesty before! ”
"Yes, I got it." Ma Wanli nodded and replied.
