"Your Majesty, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world, this is clearly Ning Yuan's delaying plan, you won't really believe him, right?"

"Your Majesty, Ning Yuan is a wolf with ambitions, don't fall for his tricks."

When Tiger Roaring Heaven went back and told his subordinates about the agreement he had reached with Ning Yuan, several Tiger players who had joined the Linhai Empire immediately began to speak carefully.

"Don't worry, I won't let Ning Yuan go because of this agreement, after getting the land west of Liupan Mountain, I will immediately wave my troops eastward and not give Ning Yuan too much respite.

A million sheep and 100,000 cattle are only a small amount to us, and if we can really exchange them for the land west of Liupan Mountain, we should give the enemy a good meal!

Hahahahaha....... ”

Tiger Xiaotian laughed happily at the thought that he could get a large piece of land without blood.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Ning Yuan has always been a scheming person, how could he be so kind to give us land?

I suspect there's a scam here! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, you think, Ning Yuan must know that even if you get those lands, he won't stop there, why is he so kind to give you a large piece of land?

This doesn't make sense. ”

These tiger players were all from the Northern Expedition Alliance, and although they couldn't understand why Ning Yuan would do such a stupid thing, they all firmly believed that there must be fraud in this.

Thinking of what happened to the demon clan before, they had lingering palpitations in their hearts, so even if Tiger Roaring Heaven was determined to win, they still wanted to persuade Tiger Roaring Heaven to change his mind.

Hearing that several tiger people were still there, Tiger Xiaotian's face suddenly fell, and then reprimanded loudly: "Wait, there is no need to say much, I can tell if there is fraud in this."

Remember who you are, you are the most powerful tiger people on land, and you are the existence that all other races fear.

Don't always be like those human beings, that will only make people laugh. ”

"Tiger Peak!"

"The subordinates are here."

"You immediately have a million head of sheep and 100,000 head of cattle ready, and I must send these animals to Bayannur within two months, no matter what method you use."

After reprimanding several Tiger players, Tiger Xiaotian immediately arranged for people to prepare cattle and sheep, he wanted to get the area west of Liupan Mountain within two months, and then immediately moved his troops eastward, not giving Ning Yuan extra time to prepare.

In Hu Xiaotian's opinion, if he directly started a war with the Condor Empire, then it would be completely impossible to completely capture Tianshui, Longnan and other regions without two or three months.

And exchanging cattle and sheep for land is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing, so even if there may be fraud in it, he must try it.

There is no other reason, just because the reward is so rich, so rich that he willingly goes to drill into it.

......

"Pass on my military order, except for the Flying Legion and the Dwarven Rock Sheep Knight Legion, the other armies will immediately withdraw to the Guanzhong region from now on."

After returning to Lintan, Ning Yuan immediately issued an order for the whole army to retreat.

"Your Majesty, are you so sure that Tiger Roar will take the bait?"

Seeing that Ning Yuan would arrange for the withdrawal of the army when he returned, Sosa Warhammer couldn't help but ask.

Glancing at this old subordinate of his, Ning Yuan smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "If you were a tiger roaring sky, what would you choose when you encounter this kind of pie-in-the-sky beauty?" ”

After thinking for a while, Sosa replied, "The temptation is too great, and I will try it anyway, because the reward is so great that I can't refuse."

But if it were me, I would immediately send someone to prepare the cattle and sheep, and then deliver them to the designated trading place as soon as possible.

After the transaction is completed, I will immediately move eastward, and I will not give your Majesty much time to prepare. ”

Smack, smack, smack.

"That's a good answer, Tiger Roar will definitely make the same choice as you.

When he finds out that all this is true, he will surely be overjoyed and lead his army eastward at once, and then our chance will come. ”

Ning Yuan affirmed Sosa's answer.

"Then Weichen will first congratulate Your Majesty on opening up the territory again."

Seeing that Ning Yuan was very happy, Sosa patted Ning Yuan's ass a little.

"Alright, alright, don't worry, I won't forget your Rock Sheep Cavalry Regiment.

Although we are going to fight a defensive counterattack this time, there will be opportunities for you to play in the future. ”

Sosa's sycophants were extremely unnatural, and Ning Yuan could see through his caution at a glance.

The Condor Empire itself has a large number of tiger people, so Ning Yuan is still very clear about the combat effectiveness of tiger warriors.

The Linhai Empire was very strong before, and after occupying the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, they not only successfully subdued the remnants of the Wolf's Hoof Empire scattered throughout the plateau, but also snatched a large number of Griffon Demon Beast eggs from the player forces that occupied the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

If the previous Linhai Empire was only a ground power, then the current Linhai Empire is a new generation of land and air hegemons.

In the face of such a strong opponent, if he chooses to be tough head-on, then even if he can win in the end, the Condor Empire will suffer heavy losses, so Ning Yuan will formulate a defensive counterattack strategy that takes retreat as advance.

Originally, the Minotaur Legion led by Niu Tianci was a killer weapon to deal with the Linhai Empire's Tiger Army and the Sabertooth Tiger Legion, but Niu Tianci's earth-shaking battle method with a cooldown of one year had just been used on the Demon Clan, maybe this was the will of heaven!

After losing the only killer weapon that could limit the ability of the Tiger Army, it would be difficult for the Condor Army to gain any advantage against the Tiger Army in the wild.

The Tiger Warriors are not only burly, but they are also very agile.

Compared with the bulky minotaurs, bears, etc., the tiger warriors are a lot more powerful than them in terms of overall strength, except for being slightly inferior in durability.

Tiger warriors are not only unstoppable on the plains, but also adapt to fight on some complex terrains such as mountains and hills.

Aside from the fact that they can't form a formed cavalry regiment because they can't find too many suitable mounts, the Tigerman can be said to be a perfect all-round class.

In particular, the Tiger Fighting Master is the best in close combat.

They want to be strong and powerful, agile and agile, once they are close to them, as long as their hard power is not as good as theirs, then they will be ruthlessly crushed.

The Sabertooth Tiger Legion, the treasure of the Linhai Empire, the trump card of aces.

In the wild, if you suddenly encounter the saber-toothed tiger army, then there is only one result, and that is to be ruthlessly torn to shreds by those killing machines.

In addition to being invincible in the field, the Sabertooth Tiger Legion can also be used to siege cities.

The last time he cooperated with Tiger Roaring Heaven, Ning Yuan had personally witnessed the scene of the saber-toothed tiger using the siege tower he provided to rush to the head of the city.

In the face of this peerless beast, even the heavy armor of the hoplites could not protect the personal safety of the soldiers, because the huge impact force was enough to shock the soldiers who were tightly wrapped in armor.

Tiger warriors, tiger fighting masters, and saber-toothed tiger legions, these three strong ground soldiers not only have strong frontal attack capabilities, but also excellent pursuit and killing capabilities.

If they fought in the field, even Ning Yuan's Condor Army was not sure of victory, so Ning Yuan would come up with a strategy of retreating to advance, introducing Tiger Roaring Sky and his Tiger Army into a battlefield that was more conducive to the Condor Army, and then inflicting heavy losses on them in one fell swoop.

Although the Linhai Empire is very powerful, it is just like the Divine Eagle Empire in Ningyuan, as long as the Tiger Roaring Heaven dies, this powerful empire will immediately fall apart.

Compared with the majestic Tiger Roaring Heaven, his tiger cubs were not to be feared at all, so Ning Yuan's first step in retreating was to leave Tiger Roaring Heaven forever, and then eat away at the entire Linhai Empire little by little.

......

In order to defend Guanzhong, the ancients built a lot of passes on the passage from Guanzhong to other places, among which the four passes are the most dangerous.

These four levels are Xiao Pass, San Pass, Tong Pass and Wu Pass.

Xiaoguan is located in the southeast of Guyuan, Ningxia, and the Liupan Mountain Range lies in the northwest of Guanzhong, which is its northwest barrier.

The passage into Guanzhong from Longshang is mainly the valley lowland cut by the Wei River, Jing River and other rivers.

The direction of the Wei River is steep, while the direction of the Jing River is relatively flat. Xiao Pass stands in the Liupan Mountain Pass, guarding the passage from the direction of the Jing River into Guanzhong.

Xiaoguan is an important pass in the northwest of Guanzhong, which protects the safety of the northwest of Guanzhong.

Although Longshan can be artificially crossed, it is not suitable for the passage of large armies, and the terrain on both sides of the Weihe River is also extremely steep, and it is difficult for the ground army to pass, so if Hu Xiaotian wants to attack the Guanzhong area, he can only take the passage of Xiaoguan.

And the main battlefield chosen by Ning Yuan to retreat as his strategy was in a river valley south of Xiao Pass.

Xiao Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the Condor Army defends desperately, it will be difficult for the Tiger Army to break through.

But if he simply resisted the attack of the Tiger Army, Ning Yuan would not go to great lengths to set up this situation, he could send troops to defend Xiliang City and consume the living force of the Tiger Army there.

The reason why Ning Yuan gave away the land and showed weakness to Tiger Roaring Heaven was entirely because he wanted Tiger Roaring Heaven's life, and then swallowed the entire Linhai Empire.

If the Tiger Army is blocked to the north of Xiao Pass, then Ning Yuan's calculations will all fail, so Xiao Pass can be defended, but it must not be defended.

Of course, it won't work to release the water directly, after all, Tiger Xiaotian is not given for nothing, once he finds out that the situation is not right, Ning Yuan will steal the chicken and not lose the rice.

In order not to make Tiger Roar suspicious, Ning Yuan transferred the players of the First and Second Legions of Tenglong to Xiao Pass.

Although the players of these two legions are very elite, they can resist the onslaught of the Tiger Army for a month or two at most, and then the Tiger Army will break through the city.

Ning Yuan sent them to defend Xiao Pass, in addition to letting the Tiger Army enter the Pass, he also wanted to use them to consume the vital strength of the Tiger Army to prepare for the next shutdown and dogs.

After letting the tiger roar into the customs, the next step is to close the door and fight the dog, which is also the most important part of the strategy of retreating this time.

If you want to close the door and fight the dog, you must first have a door, and this door refers to Xiao Guan.

After the Tiger Army breaks through Xiao Pass, they will definitely stay behind to defend Xiao Pass, and then the army will continue to move south.

When the Tiger Army marched south and encountered Ning Yuan's Condor Army in the south of Xiao Pass, Ning Yuan's army in Yunwu Mountain, north of Guyuan, would take the opportunity to go south, directly cutting off the connection between Xiao Pass and the West Gansu region, and blocking the Tiger Army in Xiao Pass.

After the back road was cut off, Tiger Roaring Sky had two options, one was to defeat the Condor Army in front of him and continue southward, and the other was to return to Xiao Pass immediately and reopen the connection with the rear.

Facing the Tiger Army and the Starstriped Demon Tiger Legion on the side of the Condor Army, Tiger Xiaotian had almost no choice, because if they didn't defeat the Condor Army that was blocking the way, they would not be able to retreat back to Xiao Pass at all.

Whether they continued to move south or returned to Xiao Pass, they must first defeat the Condor Army in front of them.

This battle is basically a battle of fate for the two powerful empires, and neither of them can afford to lose.

If the Linhai Empire loses, then Tiger Roaring Heaven will probably not be able to leave Xiao Pass alive, and this place will become his burial ground.

If the Condor Empire loses, then Ning Yuan's strategy of retreating as advance will be a complete failure, and the Condor Army in the Shaanxi region will also fall into a comprehensive strategic passivity, because it will be difficult for them to confront the Tiger Army head-on in the field.

So this is a war that no one on either side can afford to lose.

In Ning Yuan's plan, the Condor Army will eventually win this battle of fate, and then cooperate with the Condor Army that came out of Yunwu Mountain to besiege the remnants of the Tiger Man in Xiao Pass.

At this point, all the retreats in the strategy of retreat are over, and the next step is to advance.

After the victory of the Condor Army at the Battle of Xiaoguan, the centaur cavalry, wolf cavalry, elven archers and Terran light cavalry assembled in the Mongolian steppes would take advantage of the situation to attack Gansu and Xinjiang west of the Yellow River.

Those cavalry regiments of the Condor Army that entered the Gansu region would quickly capture all the Yellow River crossings, cut off the connection between the tiger armies on both sides of the Yellow River, and make the tiger army on the east bank of the Yellow River completely become a turtle in the urn.

One thing that Tiger Roaring Sky is right is that Liupan Mountain, Longshan Mountain, Motianling and Minshan Mountain form a perfect barrier that divides Gansu and Shaanxi in two.

If you add the Yellow River, then this is a complete closed loop.

Ning Yuan will, as the tiger roars and wants, trap all the tiger armies that cross the Yellow River in this perfect closed loop.

And when the main army of the Linhai Empire was killed in battle and trapped, the little army they left behind in the base camp could not be the opponent of the Condor Army's cavalry sea tactics.

In the end, they could only watch as the once powerful Linhai Empire was eaten away by the Condor Army little by little.
