Chapter 878: The Battle of the Canyon (2)
Dangxiong County was actually deliberately ceded by the Condor Army to Tiger Picker, in order to dispel Tiger Picker's vigilance and let him rest assured to attack Lhasa.
And the situation was just as Bai Ze expected, after capturing Dangxiong County, Tiger Picking Day's vigilance was indeed reduced a lot.
After leaving behind 3,000 Tiger Army soldiers and 3,000 owl soldiers to defend Dangxiong County, Tiger Picking Day immediately rushed towards the Yangbajing area with confidence and boldness.
Because the Yangbajing area is full of hot springs, hot springs, boiling springs, fountain holes, hot lands, hydrothermal explosion holes, intermittent jet wells, hot water ponds, and hot water swamps where hot water rises, these places are not suitable for the passage of large armies.
Therefore, the Condor Army used wood and stone to build some simple fortifications on some relatively narrow communication arteries, preparing to fight a defensive counterattack with the invading Tiger Picking Japanese army.
Faced with the three- or four-meter-high stone wall and the hot water ponds on both sides, Hu Jieri knew that there was no other way but to attack, so he immediately sent 5,000 owl warriors and 3,000 tiger troops to attack the fortification.
Faced with the approach of tens of thousands of enemy troops, the Condor Army guarding the stone wall reacted immediately.
As soon as the command flag waved, thousands of silver Pegasus knights flew into the sky behind the stone wall.
Seeing the large number of Silver Pegasus Knights of the Condor Army, Tiger Picking Sun's brows immediately furrowed, and after thinking for a moment, he clenched his fists fiercely, and then sent all the Owl warriors out.
For the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Condor Army, Tiger Picking Sun is both envious and hateful.
What I envy is the terrifying combat power of the Silver Pegasus Knights and their perverted defensive long-range attack ability, compared to the Silver Pegasus Knights, the Owl Legion of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds is simply rubbish, and they are not vulnerable at all.
What I hate is that the Silver Pegasus Knights belong to the Condor Empire. Why didn't such a powerful flying legion belong to their Coastal Empire?
Although Tiger Picking Day did not participate in the battle where Tiger Roaring Heaven attacked the Guanzhong region, there is no need to think about it, the Silver Pegasus Knights must have participated in that battle.
If it weren't for the participation of the Silver Pegasus Knights, maybe his father would not have been defeated, after all, his father had a griffin army and an owl army in his hands at that time.
What Tiger Harvest didn't know was that the Silver Pegasus Knights weren't the key factor in deciding the battle, but they did give Tiger Roar the most fatal blow.
They not only burned the logistics of Tiger Roaring Heaven's army, but also ended Tiger Roaring Heaven's life with their own hands.
If Tiger Roaring Heaven had left the Flying Legion of the Linhai Empire to him, then at this moment, he would not have to rely on these pieces of garbage from the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds.
Regarding the combat effectiveness of the orc legions of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds, Tiger Picking Day always felt very incomprehensible.
Why is it that a warrior of the same race, in his Linhai Empire, is one of the best soldiers in a hundred, and in the hands of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds, he is a waste?
If he had enough time, he really wanted to temper those orc warriors of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds and see why they were so useless.
It's a pity that what he lacks most now is time, so he has no choice at all, and can only choose to continue to rely on the army of owls above his head.
Although the first attack was mostly a temptation, out of fear of the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Condor Empire, Tiger Picking Day had no choice but to send all the owl warriors up.
Because once the Owl Legion is defeated and the air supremacy is controlled by the Silver Pegasus Knights, the Tiger soldiers on the ground will be in danger.
At that time, the Tigers will not only have to face the attack on the stone wall, but also be on the lookout for cold arrows from the sky.
If that were the case, it would be difficult for the Tiger soldiers to concentrate on attacking the stone wall.
Moreover, although the place where the Condor Army built the fortifications was very dangerous, it was only compared to the situation on the ground, and the sky was not affected in any way.
The ground legion could not be deployed because of the hot water ponds on both sides, but the flying legion was not affected, and even if the number of the owl legion was doubled, it could easily spread the formation, so Tiger Harvest Day planned to give full play to the numerical advantage of the owl legion.
As the Tigers and the Owl Legion approached the stone wall, the defenders on the stone wall finally revealed their true faces.
After seeing the defenders appearing on the stone wall, Tiger Picking Sun's eyes immediately turned red, and he could no longer control the anger in his heart.
The defenders who appeared on the stone wall were all Tiger warriors, and they were the Snow Mountain Legion that had previously belonged to Tiger Picking Day.
Although it is not clear what happened in Qamdo City at the beginning, Tiger Picking Day still can't let go of the Snow Mountain Army's defection.
He thinks that he treats Hu Dashan well, even if Qamdo City can't be defended, and Hu Dashan doesn't want to die for his country, then he can lead the Snow Mountain Army to retreat to Lhasa.
However, Hu Dashan chose naked betrayal and defected directly.
If it weren't for the Snow Mountain Army's defection, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Condor Army to capture the entire Ancient Tea Horse Road so quickly and march to Lhasa.
Therefore, the Tiger Picking Day can be said to hate the Tiger Mountain to the bone, and I can't wait to eat its flesh raw, drink its blood, draw its tendons, and crush its bones and ashes.
"Hu Rui, you immediately lead three thousand Tiger Army and two thousand Tiger Guards to help, and strive to break through the stone wall in one go."
The appearance of the Snow Mountain Legion immediately attracted the attention of Tiger Picking Day.
Although Tiger Picking Day hated the Snow Mountain Legion very much, he still recognized the strength of the Snow Mountain Legion.
In terms of the combat power of ordinary tiger warriors alone, the Snow Mountain Legion was no worse than the Tiger Army under his command.
The reason why the Tiger Army was able to overwhelm the Snow Mountain Army was mainly because the Tiger Army had 5,000 super strong Tiger Guards.
These 5,000 Tiger Guards were specially prepared by Tiger Roaring Heaven for Tiger Picking Day, and they were the exclusive privilege of Tiger Picking Day as the first heir of the Linhai Empire.
If you remove these 5,000 powerful Tiger Guards, then there is almost no big difference between the Snow Mountain Legion and the Tiger Legion.
"Kill!"
Although Bai Ze formulated a defensive counterattack tactic here in Yangbajing, this tactic was only for the army on the ground, and the Silver Pegasus Knights were not subject to this restriction.
In addition to their strong frontal assault capabilities, the Silver Pegasus Knights' greatest advantage is speed and long-range firepower.
The ground legion has the advantage of the stone wall and can defend it, but the stone wall is ineffective against the Owl Legion that can fly in the air, so in order to defeat the enemy Owl Legion, the Silver Pegasus Knights must give full play to their advantages.
With the commander's order, the Silver Pegasus knights immediately flew towards the enemy.
As soon as the enemy came into their range, thousands of Silver Pegasus Knights immediately rained down on the enemy.
