Lhasa, whether it is a necessary place on the Tangbo Ancient Road or as the base camp of the Tiger Picking Day, is very important to the Tiger Picking Day, so he must return to the army to rescue.

Even if he knew that Lhasa City at this time was likely to have been breached by the Condor Army, Hu Jieri had to lead the army to recapture it, because he could not afford to lose Lhasa City in a series of serious consequences.

After Tiger Roaring's death, the mighty Linhai Empire fell apart overnight.

As the legitimate heir of Tiger Roaring, now Tiger Picking Day has only the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau left in his hands.

Although the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is huge, most of the plateau is uninhabited, and there is very little land suitable for human settlement.

The suitable places for human settlement in Qinghai are mainly concentrated in the Hehuang Valley, the area around Qinghai Lake and the southeastern part of Qinghai.

The places suitable for human settlement in Tibet are mainly concentrated along the Brahmaputra River, eastern Tibet and southern Tibet.

Now that the richest Hehuang Valley has been captured by the Condor Army, only some counties around the Yellow River remain in the Qinghai region.

Located on the southern slopes of the Himalayas, Tibet's southern Tibet region is warm and humid all year round, with superior hydrothermal conditions, and is the northernmost tropical region in the world.

It is warm and rainy, with an average annual precipitation of more than 9,000 mm, making it one of the wettest areas in the world, and can grow many subtropical crops.

Most of the population and arable land in Tibet are located in southern and eastern Tibet.

After losing the Hehuang Valley, if Tiger Harvest still wants to restore the country, then he must always maintain the size of his army.

And if you want to raise a sizable army, the rich southern Tibet region is indispensable.

The Gangdis Mountains and the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains divide the whole of Tibet in two, and Lhasa is the only way to enter the rich southern Tibetan region, so no matter what, Tiger Harvest Day must regain control of the Lhasa region and wipe out the invading Condor Army.

In order to recapture Lhasa, Hu Jieri handed over the defense of Sun Moon City to his deputy, and then personally led 30,000 tiger troops and 50,000 owl troops on the way home.

Originally, there were nearly a million Indian players to the south of Sun Moon City, and Tiger Pick Japan could lead more troops to come back.

But the distance from Sun Moon City to Lhasa was too far, and the more troops came back, the slower the march would be.

Tiger Picker is now anxious, he just wants to rush back to Lhasa as soon as possible and recapture it, and he can't stand the slow march at all.

Moreover, what kind of goods are the troops of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds, it is clear in the heart of the Tiger Picking Sun.

The armies invaded by the Condor Army this time must be elite, and those troops from the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guilds will not only not be of much help when they come, but they will probably drag the Tiger Army back.

So instead of taking them on a slow march, it is better to return directly with an elite army, with elite against elite.

As for the army of 50,000 owls, it was entirely to deal with the Silver Pegasus Legion of the Condor Army.

In this way, Hu Jieri led an army of 80,000 people to Lhasa along the way, traveling lightly and day and night.

After learning that an army of nearly 100,000 people suddenly left the Sun Moon City area, the Seraphic Scouts of the Condor Army immediately secretly followed.

When Tiger Picking Sun led the army to successfully cross the Bayan Kala Mountain, the Seraphic Scout immediately returned to Sun Moon City and told Ning Yuan the news.

After hearing that Hu Jieri personally led the army to return to reinforcements and had successfully entered the Yushu area, Ning Yuan was immediately overjoyed.

While he asked the participating troops in the city to increase the intensity of the attack, he sent people to inform Ma Wanli and others to collect the net.

......

The Tangbo Ancient Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road are the two main passages leading to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the Central Plains of China.

In addition to these two ancient roads, if you want to enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, you must go over the mountains.

Crossing mountains and mountains into the Tibetan Plateau is a difficult challenge for some adventurers, and if they are not careful, they are likely to sleep on the way, let alone the army.

Everyone knew that the ground army wanted to enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and there was no other road except the Tangbo Ancient Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

If you want to climb over the mountains and get in, then it is likely that the whole army will be buried in the reckless mountains.

However, there are people who do not believe in this evil and want to do the opposite.

This person is Ning Yuan.

After re-walking Deng Ai's route to Shu, Ning Yuan never forgot to bypass Sun Moon City and directly enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road can directly attack Lhasa, the hinterland of Tibet, but it is too far to go around the back of Sun Moon City.

So Ning Yuan decided to send an army over the Qilian Mountains into the Qinghai region to hide, and then suddenly kill from behind the enemy at a critical moment, and cooperate with the army of Huaxia players north of Sun Moon City to flank the enemy in front and back.

This idea is very good, and once it is realized, it will definitely catch the enemy by surprise, but it is simply difficult to put it into practice.

The Qilian Mountains are covered with strange peaks and dangerous rocks, and it is difficult for even the best hunters in the region to climb them, let alone a large army.

Originally, Ning Yuan had a whim, and he mentioned it casually, but he didn't pay much attention to it at all, after all, he himself knew the difficulty of this very well.

However, he ignored his identity.

He is now the founding emperor of the Condor Empire, and as the founding emperor, every word and word he says will be remembered by his subordinates.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and when the news reached the ears of Ma Wanli and others, some people began to take it seriously.

This person is Xiong Dalin.

Although Xiong Dalin once helped the Condor Army successfully capture Tiger King City, and he was also rewarded by Ning Yuan, in fact, Xiong Dalin's debut was a failure.

After the Battle of Tiger King City ended, Xiong Dalin, Ma Wanli and others lived in Tiger King City.

Every day, they either hunted the red-horned goats that ran out of the Red Sheep Mountain, or carried out daily combat training in the square, and this battle to defend the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau had nothing to do with them.

Although he has officially become a leading general of the Condor Empire, Xiong Dalin has always been obsessed with the performance of his debut.

One of the things he thinks about the most every day is when he will be able to continue to lead his army into battle, to correct the name of the bear warriors in the Tarim Basin, and to wash away the shame of his debut.

When he chatted with Ma Wanli and others once, and heard Ma Wanli talk about the news that Ning Yuan wanted to send an army over the Qilian Mountains to go around behind the enemy and launch a surprise attack, Xiong Dalin began to take it seriously.

Xiong Dalin once entered the Qilian Mountains to hunt when he was young, when he got lost in the mountains chasing a large wild boar.

After finding a way to come, Xiong Dalin began to descend along a waterway washed by a flash torrent.

I don't know how long I walked, but a big river suddenly appeared in front of Xiong Dalin's eyes.

This is a big river flowing from east to west, Xiong Dalin walked along the river bank all the way to the west, when he was thirsty, he drank a sip of river water, and when he was hungry, he took two bites of the big pork leg on his back.

I don't know how long he walked, Xiong Dalin finally walked out of the Qilian Mountains alive.

The big mountain where Xiong Dalin got lost is called Danghe South Mountain, and the big river under the mountain is called Danghe River.

Originally, Xiong Dalin had forgotten about this stubble, and after hearing Ning Yuan's whimsical idea, he immediately remembered the adventure he had when he was young.

After careful consideration, Xiong Dalin decided that as long as the logistics of the army could be solved, then they could go upriver and enter the Qinghai area from the mountains on both sides of the Dang River.

When Xiong Dalin told Ma Wanli and others about this idea, he was immediately affirmed by several people.

After a heated discussion, several people found out some of the difficulties.

As long as those difficulties can be solved one by one, then they can smoothly cross the Qilian Mountains and enter the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The first difficulty is the logistics.

The amount of food that each soldier can carry is very limited, and if you don't want the army to starve to death in the deep mountains and old forests, you must ensure the smooth logistics and transportation.

The second difficulty is the difficulty of the road.

The terrain on both sides of the Dang River is very steep, and it will be very difficult for the army to advance along the river valley little by little.

The river valley can't be walked, so the only way to go is to take the mountains on both sides of the Dang River.

To the north of the Dang River is the Wild Horse South Mountain, and to the south is the Danghe Mountain, both of which are facing east and west, sandwiching the Dang River in the middle.

The third difficulty is confidentiality.

Odd soldiers, strange soldiers, what is a strange soldier?

Only surprise is called a surprise soldier, if it is discovered by the enemy in advance, then it will lose the effect of surprise attack.

When several people reported the idea of this strange soldier to the plateau, Ning Yuan quickly gave an answer.

Regarding the first difficulty, Ning Yuan didn't think it was too big a problem.

Since there are no logistical materials to be transported on the ground, it is better to simply hand over the task of transporting logistical materials to the Flying Corps.

Now the only one who can easily cross the Qilian Mountains is the Flying Legion.

Although the amount of food that the Flying Legion can carry at any one time is very limited, it is better for them to deliver several times a day.

After finding the location of the Danghe River on the big map, Ning Yuan immediately transferred the Swan Legion to the Subei region.

Swan warriors are the best logistic troops, in addition to being able to transport various supplies to the army, they can also catch some fish from nearby rivers and lakes to improve the food of the soldiers.

There are many fish in the Dang River, and at the end of it there is a large lake, Hara Lake.

Hara Lake is a large saltwater lake rich in Qinghai Lake naked carp, which is uninhabited and ideal for large armies to hide.

Regarding the second difficulty, Ning Yuan racked his brains and couldn't come up with a good solution.

In the end, he could only transfer a team of ape warriors who were good at opening the way to Ma Wanli and others, hoping that those ape warriors could open up an easy path for the army.

As for the issue of confidentiality, it is even simpler.

Ning Yuan directly sent a large number of Silver Pegasus Knights to patrol the mountain range, and once they found the situation, they would immediately carry out targeted killings.

After successfully resolving the three difficulties, Ning Yuan immediately appointed Ma Wanli as the commander-in-chief of the raid and Xiong Dalin as the deputy commander-in-chief.

Since it is to launch a surprise attack deep behind enemy lines, if the number of troops brought over is too small, there is a high chance that the surprise plan will fail.

And if the number of troops brought over is too large, then the pressure on the Swan Legion will be increased.

Therefore, it is very particular how many troops to bring over in the end.

After some heated discussions, it was decided to take a total of 20,000 warriors with them, half of whom were centaur warriors and half of them were bear warriors.

Although neither the bearman warrior nor the centaur warrior are suitable for this rugged mountain road, considering the power of these two legions on the field battlefield, even if the road is difficult, it is necessary to bring these two legions safely.

After the ape-man warriors in charge of opening the way first explored the way, the surprise army of 20,000 people began to move all the way along the wild horse south mountain to the southeast.

In order to be able to better travel, both legions traveled lightly, and all the soldiers did not even have a weapon on them.

They have to rely on the food dropped by the Swan Legion every day to survive, and as for their own safety, it is completely left to the Silver Pegasus Knights who escort them.

In this way, 20,000 big men marched the rugged mountain road every day, and walked for two months before they arrived at the shore of Hara Lake.

After the surprise attack army arrived on the shore of Hara Lake, the swan army first captured a large number of naked carp in Qinghai Lake for them, and then helped them transport weapons and equipment from Subei.

After they were all ready, they stayed quietly on the shore of Hara Lake, waiting for Ning Yuan's next order.

When Ning Yuan's order to start acting was delivered, Ma Wanli and Xiong Dalin immediately led the surprise attack army to rush towards Delingha.

With the help of the Silver Pegasus Knights and the Dragon Eagle Knights, the Surprise Legion was able to breach the gates of Delingha with great ease.

After a brief repair in Delingha, they rushed to the southeast of Ulan City.

After capturing Ulan City, they rushed to the Republic City to the south of Sun Moon City.

In the Republic, there was a fierce battle between the Raiders and the Indian player armies of the Arch Guard.

Facing an enemy several times his size, Ma Wanli led 10,000 centaur warriors to launch a decisive charge directly against the enemy formation.

Under the double opening of the javelin rain and arrow rain, the defensive array set up by the Indian players was completely broken in an instant.

After losing the cover of the formation, the Indian players were no longer able to fight back.

Pursued by the Centaur Legion, they fled in the direction of Sun Moon City.

In order not to give the enemy any respite, Ma Wanli led the centaur army to pursue all the way, and Xiong Dalin led the bear army to follow.

As this army that suddenly came out from behind enemy lines got closer and closer to Sun Moon City, the real Battle of Sun Moon City was about to break out.
