Chapter 791, the first battle is victorious

The Linhai Empire originated in Xinjiang and expanded to Gansu and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the later period, and the domestic animal husbandry was extremely developed.

The one million sheep and 100,000 cattle proposed by Ning Yuan were not worth mentioning for the Linhai Empire at all, and the only difficulty was how to quickly drive the million sheep and 100,000 cattle to Bayannur.

In order to complete the transaction with Ningyuan as soon as possible, Hu Xiaotian could only collect materials nearby, while sending people to collect cattle and sheep from Gansu to send them to Bayannur, and at the same time replenishing cattle and sheep from Xinjiang and Qinghai to Gansu.

After the tiger roared and gave the order to die, it only took a month and a half for a million sheep and 100,000 cattle to arrive in Bayannur.

After receiving the cattle and sheep sent by Tiger Roaring Heaven, Ning Yuan immediately led the Condor Army to withdraw to the east of Longshan Mountain, and surrendered Tianshui, Longyou and other places to the Linhai Empire.

In the middle of November of the 31st year of barbarism, after obtaining all the land west of Liupan Mountain, Hu Xiaotian immediately tore up the peace agreement signed with Ning Yuan and led 600,000 elite troops to Xiaoguan.

After letting the army rest in place for a day, the Tiger Army immediately launched a ferocious attack on Xiao Pass the next day.

In the past, the Jiayuguan was able to block the westward advance of the Tiger Army, entirely because the Tiger People lacked advanced siege equipment, and they had no way to take the tall city wall of Jiayuguan.

After Ning Yuan put the Tiger Army into Jiayu Pass, the Condor Empire supported the Tiger Army with a number of advanced siege equipment, helping the Tiger Army to break through the strong cities defended by players one after another.

After tasting the sweetness of the siege equipment first, Tiger Roar began to pay attention to the craftsmen who could build siege equipment.

After years of foreign conquest, the Linhai Empire not only gained a large area of land, but also a group of professional-level talents who could build siege equipment.

In this attack on Xiaoguan, they transported the most advanced siege equipment in China.

The biggest role of trebuchets in siege warfare is to bring huge psychological pressure to the defenders on the city walls, if they cannot smash the city walls, then the damage that trebuchets can cause is extremely limited.

The Linhai Empire has the most powerful tiger warriors and the fierce saber-toothed tiger army, and they are all kinds of unreasonable to attack the city, as long as they rush to the top of the city, it will not be far from breaking the city.

If you can end the battle quickly, who would use a trebuchet to throw stones stupidly?

The Tiger army was extremely confident, so they never disdained to use trebuchets when attacking the city, because with that stone-throwing skill, they might have already broken the city.

In this attack on Xiao Pass, Tiger Roaring Sky can be described as the best of the best.

The Tiger Man Sword and Shield Soldiers, the Tiger Fighting Master, the Saber-Toothed Tiger Legion, the Griffin Legion, and the Owl Legion make up this elite army of 600,000.

Due to the forbidden space realm in Xiaoguan, the griffin legion and the owl legion can only watch from the wall.

After the army was assembled north of Xiao Pass, Tiger Xiaotian personally sounded the horn of attack.

With the sound of a low horn, a group of tiger warriors armed with swords and shields slowly approached Xiao Pass in a neat line, and behind them were specially treated siege towers.

After the Tiger Army entered the firing range, the trebuchet placed on Xiao Guan immediately opened full fire, and the huge stone projectiles fell into the Tiger Man's team with a whistling sound.

The main reason why the Tiger Army is so disdainful of trebuchets is that the boulders thrown by trebuchets do not threaten the tigermen warriors who are known for their agility.

Under the skillful dodging of the tiger warriors, the Condor Army's stone-throwing attack did not achieve any other results except for smashing two siege towers.

And when the Condor, who was controlling the trebuchet, reloaded the stone projectiles, another advantage of the Tigermen army soon became apparent, that is, they were traveling so fast that they didn't even give the Condor a second chance to throw stones.

When it was discovered that the Tigerman army had crossed the range of the trebuchet, the Dragon Legion player in charge of commanding the trebuchet had no choice but to give up.

Soon, the Tigerman army was within range of the archers on the city walls.

Facing the tiger warriors holding large shields, the players of the Dragon Legion on the city wall symbolically shot a wave of arrows.

After discovering that the rain of arrows attack was becoming less effective, players decisively abandoned their ranged attacks and prepared to meet the enemy's melee onslaught.

As the pontoon bridge on the siege tower slammed into the city wall, the tigerman warriors who had been waiting on it for a long time immediately rushed to the head of the city along the pontoon bridge.

At the same time, the players of the Dragon Legion, who had been waiting at the head of the city for a long time, also stepped on the pontoon bridges at the head of the city at the same time, and launched a counter-charge towards the tigerman warriors on the siege tower.

The players who stepped onto the siege pontoon and launched a reverse charge against the tigermen were all orc players.

There are all kinds of powerful orc races such as bear people, wild boar people, minotaurs, tiger people, etc.

Although the tiger warriors are infinitely powerful and athletic, they pay attention to hard encounters on the narrow siege pontoon bridge, and there is no room for the tiger warriors to display their agility.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and this law is vividly displayed in the city of Xiaoguan.

When the enemy and the enemy meet on the narrow siege pontoon bridge, whichever side is stronger will have a chance to continue advancing, while the losing side will fall under the city.

In siege warfare, the defending side of the city always defends the city wall in a regular manner, trying to prevent the besieging side from rushing up the city wall.

The tiger warriors of the Linhai Empire rely on their physical superiority on weekdays, and they have always been the only ones who press the defenders to fight, and they have never encountered a situation where the defenders take the initiative to launch a counter-charge against them.

The Orc players of the Dragon Legion launched a charge, and immediately caught the Tiger Warriors off guard.

Although the tiger warriors reacted quickly, and then launched a ferocious counterattack against the dragon legion orc players on the pontoon.

But in the face of orc players who are better in tonnage than them and no worse in strength than them, their counterattack has little effect.

Although from time to time, there will be orc players on the side of the Condor Army who fall off the pontoon bridge, but more people fall down on the side of the Linhai Empire.

At this time, on the narrow pontoon bridge, the advantages of heavy body and stable center of gravity appeared.

Bearmen, Minotaurs and other large-tonnage orc players stood steadily on the pontoon, and no matter how the tigerman warriors collided, their bodies would not shake too much.

Unless two or three Tiger warriors attack them together, it will be difficult to knock them off the pontoon.

As the Orc players on the Condor side made steady progress, they soon reached the platform used by the siege tower to load their soldiers.

After the Condor Army captured the siege tower's troop platform, this siege battle initiated by the Tiger Army completely changed its flavor.

The next battle is no longer a question of whether or not the city walls can be captured, but how to recapture the siege towers from the enemy.

After seeing that the tiger warriors could not recapture the siege tower no matter how they charged, the face of the tiger roaring sky watching from the rear suddenly turned extremely dark.

"Mingjin retreats."

Although it was a shame to withdraw like this in the first siege battle, Tiger Roaring finally chose Mingjin to withdraw his troops, because if they continued to fight, in addition to causing more casualties, they would be even more humiliated.
