The Condor Army took the city of Qamdo, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, which was equivalent to taking the ancient tea horse road from Ya'an to Lhasa.

But even if the entire Ancient Tea Horse Road was taken, it would be difficult for the Condor Army to transfer the army in Sichuan to Lhasa and other places.

Because only pack horses can pass normally on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, it is difficult for the Condor Army to transport the grain and grass materials needed by the army just by relying on pack horses.

Therefore, if the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds launch a counterattack on Lhasa and other places, the only ground legions that the Condor Army can rely on will be the Ape Legion and the Snow Mountain Legion.

As for the nine days mentioned by Bai Ze, it is actually a period of secrecy for this military operation.

Although the Condor Army's military raid on Qamdo City was very sudden, and the secrecy measures were very good, as long as the day's game time was over, this matter was no longer a secret.

That's why Bai Ze asked Hu Dashan to lead the Snow Mountain Army to the Lhasa area within nine days.

Although Bai Ze didn't know that players could go offline, Ning Yuan had hinted to him that if he wanted to fight a surprise battle, it was best to choose the first day, eleventh or twenty-first of each month, so that there would be a nine-day period of absolute secrecy.

Although Ning Yuan didn't give any explanation at that time, Bai Ze still remembered it.

This time to launch a surprise attack on the city of Qamdo, Bai Ze chose May 21.

So after blocking the news of the front line, the Condor Army had nine days to operate.

After ending the conversation with Hu Dashan, Bai Ze immediately sent the Seraphic Scout back to Ya'an to inform the Vampire Legion of Blood Guangyi to officially start the Great Raid.

In the early morning of May 22, the Silver Pegasus Knights, the Ape Legion, and the Snow Mountain Legion of Hudashan left Qamdo City one after another and marched along the Ancient Tea Horse Road towards Lhasa.

The Silver Pegasus Legion left the two infantry legions far behind, and they took advantage of the high altitude to capture every village and town they encountered along the way, with a brigade of 1,000 men.

When encountering an enemy city guarded by an army, they will first clear the enemy from the perimeter of the city to prevent anyone from escaping and reporting the news.

After surrounding the city, they will use their air superiority to snipe enemies on the walls at fixed points.

Faced with the almost rogue style of the Silver Pegasus Legion, the defenders stationed in the city could only hide in the sturdy houses with helplessness and unwillingness.

The Silver Pegasus Knights are all elites in a million, and even if they get off their horses, they also have strong combat effectiveness.

But they were so precious that Ning Yuan didn't want to see them suffer any losses.

Therefore, Ning Yuan once issued a military regulation specifically for the Silver Pegasus Knights: All Silver Pegasus Knights are not allowed to dismount to participate in hand-to-hand combat, even if they die in battle, they must die on the horses, people are on horses, and people are dead and horses are dead.

With this military rule, as long as the enemy hides in a sturdy bunker, the Silver Pegasus Knight has no way to deal with them.

In order to conquer a city, the Silver Pegasus Knights must cooperate with other infantry legions.

Bai Ze took this into account, so the task he gave to the Snow Mountain Legion was to hurry and persuade him to surrender.

After relieving the enemy defenses on the city walls, the Silver Pegasus Knights quietly waited for the follow-up infantry legions to follow.

When the ape-man legion and the snow-capped mountain legion arrived at the city, the ape-man warriors immediately climbed to the top of the city wall by rope, and then immediately opened the city gate.

As the city gate was opened, the tigermen warriors of the Snow Mountain Legion immediately took advantage of the situation to enter the city.

For the cities along the Ancient Tea Horse Road, the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds only deployed heavy troops in Qamdo City.

In other cities, they only symbolically placed a few defenders, and then left them a few hundred tiger warriors in each city to assist them in their defense.

Since they were in the hinterland, they were not in any danger at all, except for some wild beasts, so the biggest task of the defenders was to guard the grain and grass in the city, and were responsible for regularly delivering food and grass to the city in front.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road is a hurdle for the Condor Army, and the same is true for the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds.

It was also very difficult for the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds to transport grain and grass supplies from Lhasa to Qamdo, so Samir used every city along the way as a transit point.

He arranged for a convoy in each city, and these convoys would regularly deliver food and grass to the cities in front of him.

Each transport team was in charge of a city, which made the already very difficult transportation work a lot easier.

Since the greatest significance of these cities is to serve as a transit point for grain and grass materials, in order to reduce the consumption of grain and grass materials on these transit stations, there must not be too many defenders in these cities.

Samir only had 2,000 players from the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds in each city, plus 500 tiger warriors who were responsible for assisting in the defense, and each city had about 2,500 troops.

In other words, the only people who have real combat power in these cities are those 500 tiger warriors.

"I'm Hu Dashan, Hu Erduo, immediately take your men and get out of Lao Tzu."

Unfortunately, the Tiger defenders in every city on the Ancient Tea Horse Road were all soldiers of the Snow Mountain Legion, and they only listened to the orders of the commander of the Tiger Mountain, who came out of the Snow Mountain tribe.

So when Hu Dashan shouted the names of those old subordinates, the defensive force in the city was only the two thousand players of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds.

The sturdy buildings can protect the silver Pegasus knights who are reluctant to dismount, but they can't protect the agile tigerman warriors.

After the Tiger warriors attacked, the city soon fell completely into the hands of the Condor Army.

After leaving an ape-man army behind to defend the city, the other legions marched again to the next city on the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

These cities on the Ancient Tea Horse Road are not difficult for the luxurious Condor Army at all, and they can be completely occupied in half an hour.

In fact, the biggest difficulty of this long-distance run is the problem of hurrying.

The Silver Pegasus Knights can ignore the terrain and fly directly from one target to the next, but the warriors of the Ape Legion and the Snow Mountain Legion cannot.

They had to make their way along the narrow Ancient Tea Horse Road.

After the Silver Pegasus Knights helped them deal with the enemies on the city, they only needed to shout when Hu Dashan entered the city, and it didn't take much time to take over.

After all, there are more than 20,000 people in the Snow Mountain Legion, and Hu Dashan only needs to leave 1,800 tiger warriors to destroy the enemies in the city effortlessly, while the other armies can continue to hurry.

It is precisely because there is no difficulty in attacking the city that Bai Ze said that Hu Dashan's biggest task this time is to bring the Snow Mountain Army to Lhasa within nine days.
