The climate in the Tarim Basin is warmer because it is surrounded by three majestic mountains, so the winter in the basin is slightly later than in other northern regions.

But even if winter comes late, it will come sooner or later.

After the Condor Army subdued all the other orcs in the basin, the snowfall in the Tarim Basin was finally long overdue.

In the face of the goose feathers and heavy snow flying in the sky, Ma Wanli and others had to temporarily stop all military operations, and the 300,000 troops hid in warm stone houses to escape the cold.

After learning about the geographical location of Tiger King City and the attributes of Chiyang Mountain, Ma Wanli and the others suddenly made a difficulty.

If Tiger King City was just an ordinary city, then they could have besieged it and waited for the food in the city to run out.

However, the existence of Chiyang Mountain makes Tiger King City invincible, it is like an independent small world, as long as the city wall is not breached, then the defenders inside can always hold on.

Centaur warriors are inherently unsuitable for sieges due to their race.

Elven archers and wolf cavalry, one good at mounted archery and the other good at long-distance running and pursuit, they are also not suitable for siege.

Although there is really no way, the Elven Knights and Wolf Knights can also be dismounted and used as siege infantry.

But if the soldiers defending the city are tiger warriors, then letting them go to the siege is no different from taking the initiative to send them to death.

Therefore, it is impossible for the 300,000 Condor Army that invaded the Tarim Basin to break through the Tiger King City, which has unlimited food.

As the saying goes, cutting grass does not remove roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

Don't look at the other orc clans in the entire Tarim Basin have already defected to the Condor Army, but as long as the tiger royal clan in the Tiger King City is not wiped out for a day, then the tiger clan will always have a chance to make a comeback.

Because the tigers have been in the Linhai Empire for a long time, once the wind is not in the right direction, those orcs who have taken refuge in the Condor Empire are likely to return to the arms of the tigermen.

Therefore, Tiger King City, a city that symbolizes the supreme ruling power of the Linhai Empire, must be attacked as soon as possible, otherwise some unnecessary changes are likely to occur.

When Ma Wanli, Ivan, and Wolf Invincible unified their attitude towards Tiger King City, they immediately summoned the patriarchs of the three powerful races of the Bear Race, the Minotaur and the Wild Boar People in the Tarim Basin.

Xiong Dalin, Niu Dashi, and Zhu Dachang are the respective patriarchs of the three ethnic groups in the Tarim Basin.

When the three of them arrived at the stone house where Ma Wanli and the others lived, a six-person meeting about attacking Tiger King City immediately began.

After inviting the three patriarchs to sit down, Ma Wanli took the lead in speaking: "Three, I invited you here this time to ask if you really want to join my Condor Empire?" ”

Hearing Ma Wanli's question, the anxious Zhu Dachang immediately stood up and said, "Of course it's sincere, General Ma, what do you mean by asking?" Is it doubting our sincerity? ”

Seeing that Zhu Dachang was panting heavily, Ma Wanli signaled him not to worry, and then looked at Xiong Dalin and Niu Dashi.

"I, the Bear Clan, are truly committed to the Condor Empire."

"My Minotaur clan is also sincerely in the Condor Empire."

Seeing that Ma Wanli was waiting for his statement, Xiong Dalin and Niu Dashi successively gave their attitudes.

"Okay."

After the three of them finished speaking, Ma Wanli clapped his palms happily.

"The three patriarchs, since everyone is their own person, then I have something to say.

The three of us were ordered to lead the cavalry regiment to capture the Junggar Basin and the Tarim Basin, and now the Junggar Basin has been completely occupied by us, and there is only one Tiger King City left in the Tarim Basin.

Originally, we could have used cavalry siege tactics to trap those diehards in Tiger King City, but due to the relationship between Chiyang Mountain, our cavalry siege tactics could not be effective against Tiger King City.

The problem before us now is that the Tiger King City must be captured as soon as possible, so that the Tiger army trapped in the Hexi Corridor and Gansu and other areas will choose to surrender. Otherwise, as long as Tiger King City is not breached for a day, they will always have the mentality of luck.

The three of them also saw that in the face of the Tiger King City defended by the Tiger Man Escort Army, the cavalry led by us was not suitable for attacking the city at all.

And if you want to transfer a legion from the mainland of the Condor Empire that can attack the city, I'm afraid it will have to wait at least until the flowers bloom.

Moreover, it will take a lot of time for the siege legions to come all the way, and the water will not quench the thirst of the near, so we need the help of the three patriarchs. ”

Ma Wanli said his plan more implicitly.

He observed the expressions of the three as he spoke, and when he saw that all three of them were frowning there, and had no intention of making a sound, Ma Wanli continued:

"Three patriarchs, I know what you're worried about, but fighting always kills.

I think the three of you should understand the difference between giving charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake.

If you just want to be ordinary people in the Condor Empire, then you can just choose to refuse, and we won't force you.

If you want to be like those people of the same clan in the Condor Empire, to become the pillar of the Condor Empire, and to become an important minister favored by His Majesty Ning Yuan, then now is a great opportunity for you.

Whether you are willing to be ordinary, or want to soar to the sky, it depends on your choice today. ”

After seeing the hesitation in the eyes of the three people, Ma Wanli began to tempt them with high-ranking officials.

After hearing that they could soar into the sky and directly become the important ministers of the Condor Empire, the eyes of the three of them immediately lit up, but out of caution, they still did not dare to express their position immediately.

After you look at me and I look at you, the most stable Niu Dashi finally asked, "General Ma, if we help you capture Tiger King City, can we really get the reuse of His Majesty Ning Yuan?" ”

"Of course." Ma Wanli replied with great certainty.

Seeing that the three of them still had expressions of disbelief, Ma Wanli immediately explained with a smile: "Three, maybe you think that attacking a small Tiger King City is not a great thing.

Then I can tell you right now that you are very wrong in this thinking, because you only see the Tiger King City, and you can't see the whole battle.

His Majesty Ning Yuan now wants to end the war with the Linhai Empire as soon as possible, and Tiger King City is the top priority, because although Tiger Xiaotian is dead, his heir is still there.

As long as his heirs are resisting, the Tiger armies loyal to Tiger Roar will not surrender.

Only by breaking through the Tiger King City and capturing or killing all the heirs of Tiger Roaring Heaven alive will the Tiger Man army that is still resisting lose hope of continuing to resist.

Therefore, a small Tiger King City is not only related to the integrity of the Tarim Basin, but also related to the war situation in the entire Gansu and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau regions.

Think about it, if you can make this miraculous feat, will His Majesty Ning Yuan reward you heavily? ”

After hearing that the existence of Tiger King City was actually related to the entire battle situation, the eyes of the three of them immediately began to become hot.

After confirming each other's eyes, the three of them got up together and bowed to Ma Wanli: "The three clans of the Minotaur, the Bear and the Wild Boar are willing to listen to General Ma's dispatch." ”
