Chapter 853: Night Attack

Wuqi, Luolong, Bomi, Motuo, Nyingchi, Milin, Langxian, Naidong, these cities on the ancient tea horse road were conquered by the Condor Army one by one.

Since the Naidong region is already very close to Lhasa, the slightest carelessness will expose the whereabouts of the Condor Army.

So after occupying Naidong, in order to avoid startling the snake, the Silver Pegasus Knights immediately began to stand up and handed over the next task to Hu Dashan and his Snow Mountain Legion.

Along the way, what Hu Dashan did was to keep rushing and recovering the Tiger warriors left by the Snow Mountain Legion in various cities.

Although there was no difficulty in breaking through the cities along the road, after several days of rapid marching, Hu Dashan and his tiger warriors were very tired.

After using his identity to deceive Gonggar's city gate and kill all the players of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds in the city, Hu Dashan gave his soldiers a day off, and everyone slept beautifully in Gongga City all day.

After a good night's sleep, Hu Dashan led 5,000 tiger warriors who had not been left behind and began to march towards their destination, Lhasa.

......

Lhasa is located in the south of the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains, with sunny weather throughout the year, scarce rainfall, no severe cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, and a pleasant climate. With more than 3,000 hours of sunshine throughout the year, it is known as the "Sunshine City".

After the Linhai Empire was fully invaded by the Condor Empire, Lhasa became the old nest of the Tiger Picking Sun.

As the eldest son of Tiger Roaring, Tiger Picking Day did not trust his father's subordinates so much, so he directly sent the Snow Mountain Legion of Hu Dashan to the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and handed over the task of guarding Lhasa to the Tiger Legion under his direct jurisdiction.

With a total of 120,000 soldiers, the Tiger Legion is a legion specially formed by Tiger Xiaotian to support his eldest son, and it is also the most powerful legion on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

After the Condor Army gathered heavy troops to invade the Hehuang Valley, although Tiger Picking Day transferred most of the main forces of the Tiger Legion to Sun Moon City, he still left a lot of troops in some cities along the Tangbo Ancient Road.

Lhasa, as the end point of the Tangbo Ancient Road and the nest of the Tiger Picking Day, has a very important strategic position.

With the loss of Lhasa, it is likely that the army on the front line will be completely blocked north of the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains.

Therefore, in order to defend Lhasa and the Tangbo Ancient Road, he not only forbade any players of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds to approach Lhasa, but also arranged 5,000 soldiers of the Tiger Army to defend the lair in Lhasa when the war was tight.

Hu Dashan can use his identity as the commander of the Snow Mountain Legion to deceive other cities, but for Lhasa City, which is garrisoned by the Tiger Army, his identity may not be easy, so if he wants to take Lhasa, he has only one way to attack it.

After a rapid march all the way, most of the soldiers of the Snow Mountain Legion had fallen behind, and now there were only more than 5,000 tiger warriors left by Hu Dashan's side.

Although these 5,000 people are the elite of the elite, the 5,000 Tigers stationed in Lhasa are not vegetarians.

5,000 against 5,000, on the one hand, it is to wait for work, on the other hand, it is to stay in the city condescendingly, on the other hand, not only does it not have any siege equipment, but it also has no logistical supplies, this is not a reciprocal war at all.

If they only relied on the more than 5,000 people of the Snow Mountain Army to attack Lhasa, then Hu Dashan would definitely choose to refuse directly, because once they could not deceive the city gate, they would have no chance of winning at all.

Fortunately, Hu Dashan and his Snow Mountain Legion are not alone, and the flying legion of the Condor Army will cooperate with them in attacking the city.

After a day and a night of continuous travel, Hu Dashan led his Snow Mountain Legion to finally appear under the city of Lhasa.

By this time it was already dark, and torches were already burning on the walls.

After leaving most of the soldiers a kilometer away from the city wall, Hu Dashan came to the city gate with a hundred guards.

"Whoever comes stops immediately, otherwise there will be no mercy."

As soon as Hu Dashan and his party approached the city gate, they were shouted by the defenders on the city wall.

After stopping, Hu Dashan shouted to the tiger defenders on the city wall: "I am Hu Dashan of the Snow Mountain Legion, and I have an urgent need to meet General Huertai." ”

Hearing that it was Hu Dashan, a tiger leader on the city wall immediately shouted: "It turns out to be General Hu Dashan, please wait, I will send someone to inform you." ”

After about ten minutes, a tall tiger man appeared on the city wall.

The tall tiger man looked at Hu Dashan under the city wall and asked loudly: "Hu Dashan, didn't the eldest prince ask you to defend Qamdo City?" Why did you suddenly return to Lhasa? ”

Hu Dashan sighed and replied: "Hey, it's not a secret, I have the high hopes of the great prince, and the city of Qamdo has been lost." ”

"What? You say the city of Chamdo has been lost? Huertai was shocked.

Hu Dashan nodded and said, "That's right, Qamdo City has been lost, and my Snow Mountain Legion has been defeated, and now there are only more than 5,000 people left."

Now the brigade of the Condor Army is heading towards Lhasa along the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and we have fled all the way back in order to prepare General Huertai in advance. ”

"Impossible, Qamdo City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also has a forbidden space domain, and the Ancient Tea Horse Road is not suitable for a large group of people to pass through at all, how can the enemy break through Qamdo City quickly?"

Huertai immediately raised his doubts.

Hu Dashan said: "General Huertai, do you remember how the saber-toothed tiger army attacked the city? ”

Hearing the three words of the saber-toothed tiger, Huertai exclaimed: "You mean that the Condor Army used the saber-toothed tiger to attack the city?" ”

Hu Dashan shook his head and said, "It's not a saber-toothed tiger, it's a star-striped demon tiger."

The Condor Army has an army of Starstriped Demon Tigers, and during the siege, those Starstriped Demon Tigers hid on top of the sealed siege tower, and we were caught off guard by the Starstriped Demon Tiger.

Although everyone risked their lives to put up the most stubborn resistance, in the end, they were still unable to resist the attack of thousands of Starstriped Demon Tigers.

If it weren't for the fact that I had come back to report to the eldest prince, I might have died in the battle of Qamdo City.

General Huertai, we have been on the road day and night, and now everyone is tired and hungry, so you should quickly open the city gates, and let us go into the city and have a good rest! ”

Hu Dashan said that the three points were true and seven points were false, and he didn't fight at all, but it didn't seem to be able to make Hu Ertai fully believe it.

Looking at Hu Dashan with a calm face, Hu Ertai always felt that something was wrong.

After carefully looking at Hu Dashan and the guards around him, Hu Ertai suddenly said angrily: "Hu Dashan, you are lying, have you already taken refuge in the Condor Army?" ”

Hearing that Hu Ertai had debunked himself all of a sudden, Hu Dashan's heart was shocked, he thought that he had not revealed any flaws, so he pretended to be calm and said: "General Hu Ertai, don't spew blood, my loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon." ”

Huertai sneered: "I believe that you are loyal to Your Majesty, but not necessarily to the Great Prince.

You keep saying that you fought a bloody battle with the Starstriped Demon Tiger Legion of the Condor Army, but you don't have any scars on your body.

You and I are both battle-hardened people, have you ever fought against the Starstriped Demon Tiger Legion, can't I still tell? ”

Huertai had dealt with saber-toothed tigers before, and he was well aware of the consequences of fighting saber-toothed tigers.

Fighting the saber-toothed tigers, even if you are lucky enough not to be killed by them, you will leave some scars on your body, after all, the power of the tiger's claws is there.

Although Hu Dashan and his party looked very tired, they did not have any scars on their bodies.

If one or two people are still like this, but more than a hundred people are all like this, there must be ghosts in it, unless they have never fought against the Starstriped Demon Tiger at all.

Hearing Hu Ertai say that his group did not have any scars on their bodies, Hu Dashan immediately knew that the matter was completely exposed.

When they first followed the Tiger Roar, in order to exercise their superb skills, all of them had entered the secret realm of the saber-toothed tigers to fight those wild saber-toothed tigers.

In the face of the rampaging saber-toothed tiger, they initially adopted a group hunting mode, with dozens of people besieging a wild saber-toothed tiger.

After each hunt, several tiger warriors were killed on their side, and the rest of the survivors were all covered in scars.

In Qamdo City, they surrendered directly shortly after the battle, and not many people had fought with the Starstriped Demon Tiger at all, so their bodies were very clean and there were no wounds.

Hu Dashan didn't expect that he would be recognized by Hu Ertai because of this.

Since Huertai was now suspicious, even if he identified a flower, Huertai would not open the city gate for him, so he simply stopped hiding it.

Looking at Hu Ertai at the head of the city, Hu Dashan said loudly: "That's right, I took refuge in the Condor Army.

In order to let me follow him with all my heart, Tiger Picking Day actually lied to me that my family was all killed by the Condor Army.

As a result, my family is still alive and well.

I served the Rimsea Empire and handed myself and my family over to the Rimsea Empire, but the Rimsea Empire was unable to protect my family and let them fall into the hands of the Condor.

Huertai, who is also a general of the Linhai Empire, why can your family follow you to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to live together, while my family is under house arrest as hostages in the Tiger King City.

Is it because you are the descendant of the Tiger Picking Sun?

The families of your Tiger Legion generals are people, aren't the families of the rest of us people? ”

"This is the reason why you betrayed the Great Prince and betrayed the Linhai Empire?" Hu Ertai sneered and looked at Hu Dashan with a jealous face.

Hu Dashan sneered: "Isn't this enough?

If it were your family that fell into the hands of the Condor, what would you choose? ”

Huertai said: "Then I will treat them all as if they are all dead, and then avenge them with my own hands." ”

Hu Dashan said: "In this way, you are ready to defend the city to the death, and you are going to be martyred for the Tiger Picking Day?" ”

Huertai laughed and said, "Martyrdom? You cowards are worthy to say these things to me?

What a joke.

As long as you dare to attack the city, I will personally solve you traitor for the eldest prince. ”

"Let's go."

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Hu Dashan glanced at Hu Ertai coldly, and then left without looking back.

Looking at Hu Dashan, which had disappeared into the darkness, Hu Ertai ordered: "Immediately send more sentries on night patrol, and immediately sound a warning if there is any movement." ”

......

"Report, general, the Snow Mountain Legion of Huda Mountain is camped in a mountain col thirty miles outside the city, except for a group of soldiers who are on guard, everyone else should be asleep."

Because he was never worried about the Snow Mountain Legion of Tiger Mountain, after strengthening the defense on the city wall, Huertai secretly sent out a team of scouts to reconnoiter the enemy.

Hearing that the scouts said that all the men and horses of the Snow Mountain Legion were sleeping in the mountain col, Huertai immediately asked, "How do you know that the enemy is sleeping?" Have you touched their side? ”

"Back to the general, the whirring sound in the mountain col shook the sky, and we could hear it from a distance, and we listened to it for more than an hour, and only after confirming that it was not the enemy's pretend, did we come back to report to you."

After hearing the scout's return, Huertai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

What he was most worried about just now was that Hu Dashan would lead the Snow Mountain Legion to launch a night attack on Lhasa City.

Although he was not afraid of the Snow Mountain Legion of Tiger Mountain, he did not want to fight a night offensive and defensive battle with the Snow Mountain Legion, because since Hu Dashan had already taken refuge in the Condor Army, the army of the Condor Army would definitely not be far from here.

If his Tigers were to fight at night, they would be very passive once the Condor army arrived during the day.

Just now, he had sent hundreds of messengers out of the city, and he believed that after learning the news of the attack on Lhasa, the defenders from other places would definitely rush over to support as soon as possible.

So the most important thing he needs to do now is to stick to Chengchi, delay as much time as possible, and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

After learning that the Snow Mountain Legion would not steal the city tonight, Huertai also lay down early to rest.

As the night deepened, some of the tiger sentries in the city gradually began to be unable to resist the invasion of drowsiness and dozed off one after another.

Since the outer part of the col where the Snow Mountain Legion rested had always been monitored by Tiger scouts, the Tiger Officer who was in charge of patrolling on the city wall only sent someone to wake them up without reprimanding them too harshly.

This is a taboo when the enemy is present, because this slackness is contagious.

Seeing that the top boss just reminded him, and then turned to leave, the tiger sentries on the city wall became more and more emboldened, and in the end, some of them even leaned directly against the female wall and fell asleep.

And at this moment, a dense black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance.

Like huge bats, those black shadows glided silently across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they approached the city of Lhasa.

Some of the tiger sentries who weren't asleep just felt as if the sky was suddenly getting darker, and when they instinctively looked up at the sky, they were stunned by what they saw.

Then, before they could send the alarm, the dense black shadow in the sky pressed down from the sky.

As the torches on the city's head were extinguished, Lhasa soon fell into darkness.
