Chapter 799: A War with No Way Out
"Hu Biao, you lead your Flying Tiger Army to garrison Xiao Pass, and the other legions will leave the wounded behind, and then continue to go south with me early tomorrow morning.
Alright, let's go back and get ready! ”
In the camp tent, Tiger Roar arranged tasks for everyone with a dark face.
Capturing Xiao Pass and successfully annihilating the 200,000 Condor Army defending Xiao Pass would have been a very celebrating event.
However, after learning that the saber-toothed tiger legion had killed more than 1,000 saber-toothed tigers and the tiger warriors had killed more than 50,000 people, Tiger Roaring's face had been gloomy and terrifying.
Although as a besieging party, the nearly 1 to 4 casualty ratio is a very remarkable record, but for the Tiger army, this casualty ratio is simply unacceptable.
Because the army brought over by Tiger Roaring Heaven this time is the elite of the Linhai Empire, especially the Sabertooth Tiger Legion, which is the elite of the elite, and every loss will make Tiger Roaring feel pain.
And this attack on Xiaoguan killed more than 1,000 saber-toothed tigers at once, which is simply a piece of meat cut off from the heart of the tiger roaring with a knife.
You must know that the entire saber-toothed tiger army only has more than 10,000 saber-toothed tigers, and it has lost one-tenth of it at once, which is simply painful to the bone marrow, and it will be hellish if Tiger Roaring Sky can be happy.
As for the death of the 50,000 tiger warriors, it made Tiger Xiaotian feel an invisible pressure.
If every Condor army they encountered was as desperate as the defenders of Xiao Pass, then how many troops they would have to lose when they hit the mainland of the Condor Empire.
Although the military strength of the Linhai Empire is now stronger than that of the Condor Empire, Tiger Xiaotian does not intend to fight a lose-lose war, because in his heart, he has always been jealous of the Northern Expedition Alliance that can let them cross the river with a word.
It was obvious that the alien forces on the east bank of the Yellow River who had taken the initiative to take refuge in them were all at the behest of the mysterious Northern Expeditionary Alliance.
Those alien forces can listen to the Northern Expedition Alliance to take refuge in them today, and they can also listen to the Northern Expedition Alliance turn against them tomorrow, so whether it is for those alien forces or the Northern Expedition Alliance, Tiger Roaring Sky is jealous.
This attack on the Condor Empire, Tiger Xiaotian could have mobilized more troops, but after the massacre of alien forces in the cooperation city, Tiger Xiaotian had to deploy a large number of troops in various regions of Gansu west of Liupan Mountain.
Hu Biao, the idiot, knew that there was enmity between those alien forces and Ning Yuan, but he still had to send those people to meet Ning Yuan, so that Ning Yuan was offended by those people, so he became furious.
It's a stinky move.
Who is Ning Yuan, that is the founding emperor of the Condor Empire, and he is an existence that can be on an equal footing with him.
Not to mention those alien forces, it was Hu Biao who offended Ning Yuan, and then was killed by Ning Yuan, and he couldn't say a word of objection to Hu Xiaotian, because this kind of behavior was looking for death.
The king of a country is the king of a country, even if there is a war between the two empires, only he can have an equal dialogue with Ning Yuan, and everyone else must maintain a certain amount of awe for Ning Yuan.
This is the gap in status, a gap that no one can easily cross.
If you rush over, you are likely to have to pay an unbearable price.
And Hu Biao, the idiot, first angered Ning Yuan, and then slaughtered all the alien forces in the cooperative city in order to appease Ning Yuan's anger.
This bastard thinks he is doing a very hidden job, but he doesn't know that there is no impermeable wall in this world, which is good, and he offended both forces to death at once.
It was nothing to offend Ning Yuan, after all, there would soon be a war between the Linhai Empire and the Condor Empire.
However, if they offend those alien forces who take the initiative to take refuge in them, this is undoubtedly digging a big hole for their own side, and the pit is so bad that the tiger roars and does not want it.
Originally, those alien forces took the initiative to join the Linhai Empire, and there could be a honeymoon period between the two sides, because the Condor Empire was their common enemy.
Until the Condor Empire is completely defeated, those alien forces will not hold them back.
However, after the massacre in the cooperative city, an irreparable rift has appeared between the two sides.
Although those alien forces have not shown any dissatisfaction so far, and they are still fully supporting Tiger Roaring Heaven to attack the Condor Empire, Tiger Roaring Heaven no longer dares to believe them.
He didn't dare to hand over his rear to those alien forces to take care of, because once the other party launched a mutiny, Tiger Xiaotian and his tiger army would be completely cut off in the area east of Liupan Mountain.
When the time comes, there will be the army of the Condor Empire in the east and the rebels of alien forces in the west, and they will really be in a dilemma.
So in order to avoid this from happening, Tiger Roaring had to leave a large number of troops west of Liupan Mountain, in order to ensure that the road between his hometown and the front line was always unimpeded.
After leaving a large number of troops to garrison west of Liupan Mountain, there were not many troops that could be mobilized as Tiger Roaring Heaven marched eastward.
Therefore, in order to be able to defeat the Condor Army, and at the same time to reduce the logistical pressure on his own side, Tiger Roaring Sky brought the most elite army of 600,000 troops in the entire Linhai Empire.
Originally, Hu Xiaotian thought that with these 600,000 elites, he could easily crush the Condor Army that Ning Yuan had arranged in the Shaanxi region, and then completely drive the Condor Army out of the Guanzhong region all the way.
However, just a small Xiao Guan completely shattered this illusion of his.
The death of 50,000 tiger warriors and 1,000 saber-toothed tigers completely pulled Tiger Roar back to the real world.
After seeing the indomitable will of the Condor Army, Tiger Roaring Sky already regretted starting this war a little.
If it weren't for the fact that the two empires had been completely torn apart, Tiger Roaring Heaven would even have an urge to rule separately from the Condor Empire across Liupan Mountain.
However, there was no turning back from the bow, and after he led the army to slaughter the 200,000 Condor troops guarding Xiao Pass, it was impossible for him and Ning Yuan to go back to the past.
After Ning Yuan took the initiative to retreat to the east of Liupan Mountain, and then he tore up the peace agreement, the two empires were already enemies.
Although it is not yet possible to reach the kind of relationship that never ends, there is not much room for maneuver.
The situation has developed to the point where it is no longer something that Tiger Roaring Sky can control alone.
So whether he wants it or not, he has to go all the way to the dark.
Now, only one of the two empires can continue to grow.
Either his Tiger Army drove Ning Yuan's Condor Army out of Shaanxi, or Ning Yuan's Condor Army re-entered the Gansu region and drove them back to the west of the Yellow River.
In either case, the victorious side will not rest on their laurels, and they will surely take advantage of the victory until the other side is completely wiped out.
Both sides now have no way to retreat, and they can only go one way to the dark.
