92. The End of the War (14)

This statement of the high mountains and distant mountains is tantamount to putting a cage on the two kingdoms. If the war is not declared, the Yanhuang clan will crusade, with the strength of the two kingdoms, it is naturally impossible to be the opponent of the Yanhuang clan, if this really happens, the affiliated races will not mind another battle to destroy the Heavenly Tigers, and completely remove the hidden dangers of the Tianhu Clan. And the declaration of war by the Yanhuang clan is a talisman given to him by Gao Shan Yuanyue. Once the subordinate races overly oppress the two kingdoms, this kind of oppression will not even be visible to the Yan and Huang clans, then the Yan and Huang clans can declare war on behalf of the two kingdoms. Therefore, this is tantamount to asking the Yanhuang clan to be a bodyguard.

For this point, the representatives of the subordinate races are still relatively satisfied, so that the aftermath of the large-scale war against them by the Tianhu clan after the war has been completely resolved, of course, private competition or something, naturally there is no less, and this kind of competition is not a bad thing, as long as a large-scale war is not launched, no matter how small the Tianhu clan makes small moves, it will not affect the overall situation of the subordinate race, at most it is just a small loss.

Zhou Tiehu smiled bitterly and said: "Marshal Gao Shan is so shrewd that he even set us up, but who made us the leader of the Universe Alliance? Okay, our Yanhuang clan has taken this responsibility for you." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The next thing is much easier, for the transfer of interests, Gao Shan Yuanyue has also made great concessions, including a lot of credit, these are small problems, Gao Shan Yuanyue has not been short-sighted to the point of not making certain concessions. So, on the premise that Takayama was willing to make concessions to stop the massacre, the negotiations ended in ten days, and both sides got the results they wanted.

And a month later. This "Joint Declaration between the Heavenly Tiger Clan and the Clans after the War" signed by the two sides was sent to the four kingdoms of Tianle, Linghu, Blood Tiger and Divine Tiger. The four kingdoms all signed it. Demonstrate their willingness to abide by this joint statement. The leaders of the four kingdoms all knew that if they did not sign this joint declaration, in the future, those civilians of the Heavenly Tiger Empire would declare that they would join the Alpine Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom, and they would definitely not join their four kingdoms. For example, before conquering the planets, the subordinate races only need to ask, "Are you willing to join the two kingdoms of Gao Shan and Tempest after the war, or are you willing to join the four kingdoms of Tianle, Spirit Tiger, Blood Tiger, and Divine Tiger?" If we join the Four Kingdoms, then we will kill people. "In this way, will anyone else be willing to join the Four Kingdoms?

Therefore, the four kingdoms had to sign the joint declaration, otherwise, the two kingdoms of Gaoshan and Tempest would be equivalent to dividing up everything in the Heavenly Tiger Empire, and it would be impossible for the four kingdoms to expand again, and of course they didn't want such consequences.

After the Heavenly Tiger Tiehai Zhilu said this joint statement, he showed his first smile after the war: "The two of them have made immortal miracles for our Heavenly Tiger Clan. In the future, our Heavenly Tiger Empire will be restored in the distant river system. The two of them must be designated as the greatest heroes. Tianhu Iron Wing said, "It's a pity that some of our families are afraid that they will still be purged by those affiliated races." ”

Yes, the joint statement is only for ordinary commoners, but does not include the nobility, especially the high-ranking nobles, and of course the royal family. Therefore, those aristocratic families and royal families may be hunted down by affiliated races. Although these noble families and royal families are parasites that rule the common people, there are also countless elites of the Heavenly Tiger Clan among them, and if these people are killed, the Heavenly Tiger Clan will naturally be greatly injured. The calculation of the subordinate race is also good, only need to purge some of the elites, and the tiger clan will not be able to recover for decades or even hundreds of years after the war, so as to buy more time for the development of the subordinate race.

Anyway, the massacre has stopped, which not only relieved the civilians of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, and finally did not have to die, but also relieved the warriors of the affiliated races, killing people is definitely not a good feeling, especially the slaughter of civilians, although it is ordered to slaughter, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, such a massacre will really make people crazy, and now there is finally no problem.

The war is still ongoing. Five months later, after the left and right route armies divided their forces to capture millions of light-years of territory, the logistics and transportation lines of the Central Route Army were completely stabilized, and there was no more trouble, and the Central Route Army naturally had to attack again.

This is already the fourth battle, and in the face of the crazy attack of the Zerg warriors, the Heavenly Tiger Army has also developed some targeted tactics, but they have not had much effect. After all, the Zerg warriors are not afraid of death, they themselves are lives without wisdom, they are just cannon fodder created, so, in the face of the enemy who is not afraid of death, there is really not much good way to do it, since ancient times there is a saying "The horizontal is afraid of being stunned, and the stunned is afraid of not being afraid of death." "When the attacker is not even afraid of death, you don't have many tricks to deal with.

Such a battle was extremely fierce, and the Heavenly Tiger Army repelled the fourth attack of the Central Route Army at the cost of 700 front army groups, and the Central Route Army once again retreated to rest and recover. Once again, calm returned to the battlefield. However, the mood of the Heavenly Tiger Army is very heavy, and now, even every soldier knows that if such a battle happens twice, the Heavenly Tiger Iron Sea Department will become a historical term and no longer exist.

In the four battles, the total number of troops lost by the Tianhu Iron Sea Department reached as many as 3,400 front army groups, but in just over a year, so many troops were lost. As a result, the total strength of the All-Heaven Tiger Empire after the start of the war reached 8,000 front army groups, and now there are only about 4,000 front army groups left. In the encirclement and suppression of the two kingdoms of Tianle and Linghu, another thousand front army groups have been used, plus the royal family of the Heavenly Tiger Empire took away about three hundred front army groups when they withdrew, and there are still one or two hundred front army groups in other border areas, so there are only about two thousand five hundred front army groups left in the Tianhu Iron Sea Division. Can such a force still withstand the three attacks of the Middle Route Army?

"Retreat, let's retreat to the Star River Fortress, the Star River Fortress holds the main traffic wormhole of our Imperial Capital Star, and it is the largest fortress in our empire. And it is also equipped with two Celestial Tiger Fortress cannons. Plus other firepower. I believe that even with the ability of Zhou Tiehu's mid-lane army, it will not be an easy task to capture the Star River Fortress. Tianluo faithfully proposed.

For Tianluo Zhongzhong's proposal, all the generals agreed, although it was to retreat more than 10 million light years, but it was a good way, attacking the fortress, those Zerg warriors would not be able to play their role, and the Yanhuang Clan would have to pay a greater price. Relying on the fortress to hold on is a good strategy for the Heavenly Tiger Iron Sea Department, which has few troops now.

It's just that this retreat is tens of millions of light years, which is equivalent to giving up almost one-tenth of the Heavenly Tiger Empire to the Yanhuang Clan. The Heavenly Tiger Empire now has no formed armies in the various star regions, once the Heavenly Tiger Iron Sea Department retreats tens of millions of light years away, this is tantamount to announcing the abandonment of all star sectors west of the Star River Fortress, these star regions will naturally announce their surrender as soon as possible, and then wait for the Yanhuang Clan to send officials to receive them. To give up so many territories at once, even with the determination of the Heavenly Tiger Iron Sea, it is very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Tianhu Tiehai was uncomfortable, Tianluo said faithfully: "Your Excellency." Since we can even give up the entire Heavenly Tiger Empire, what can we do with even a small piece of territory?" Heavenly Tiger Tiehai smiled bitterly in his heart. But who would give up a large amount of territory on whose head?, however, did not show this thought, and said, "Faithfully right, let's retreat to the Star River Fortress." ”

Hearing that the Heavenly Tiger Iron Sea Department retreated all the way to the Star River Fortress, all the Star Regions of the Heavenly Tiger Empire west of the Star River Fortress announced their surrender at the first time, which did not surprise everyone in the Heavenly Tiger Empire. The Yanhuang Clan has occupied countless star regions without bloodshed, and has included more than one-tenth of the territory of the Heavenly Tiger Empire in its heyday.

Ouyang Tielong looked at the intelligence with a little suspicion: "Heavenly Tiger Tiehai really retreated like this." Zhou Tiehu smiled and said: "He has to retreat, if he doesn't retreat, if he has another battle like this, he will be completely finished." On the contrary, he could hold out a little longer by retreating to the Galactic Fortress, so that the escapees of the Sky Tiger Empire could run a little further. It's just that he didn't expect that this time he was a big mistake. ”

It's definitely a good idea to use a fortress to hold on, especially a fortress like the Star River Fortress. The Star River Fortress is known as the largest fortress in the Heavenly Tiger Empire, and when the Yanhuang army saw the Star River Fortress, although they had already known the details of this fortress from countless intelligences, they were still surprised.

The fortress, with a diameter of 200,000 kilometers, is really huge. Coupled with the liquid metal layer with a surface depth of thousands of kilometers, this is enough to defuse countless fleet artillery attacks. There is also a large fleet inside the fortress and the defense system on the surface of the fortress, which is enough to make the attacking side suffer. Tianhu Tiehai suffered a lot when he attacked the Storm Fortress that day, and now he also hopes that the Yanhuang Clan will be bloodied in front of the Star River Fortress.

In fact, any race, if you want to attack a strong fortress, you have to be cowardly before you fight, after all, the strength of the fortress is known to everyone, and your own attack is weak, but the opponent's fortress-level main gun is powerful, and if you are not careful, you will lose your troops, and not many people want to fight this kind of general. However, now the Yanhuang Clan has to fight, just because the Galaxy Fortress is the most important defense point through the Emperor Star Wormhole, and if they don't capture the Star River Fortress, they don't want to hit the Emperor Star through this natural wormhole. If you don't pass through this natural wormhole, you will need to run tens of millions of light years to do it, so you have to fight the Galaxy Fortress.

Fighting the Star River Fortress, even Zhou Tiehu is a little big, how did the Heavenly Tiger Army fail miserably in front of the Storm Fortress that day, and now, in the face of the terrible Heavenly Tiger Fortress Cannon, although this Heavenly Tiger Fortress Cannon is not as powerful as the Storm Fortress, but the power is unchanged, as soon as he thinks of this, it makes Zhou Tiehu have a headache. Needless to say, there are tens of billions of floating batteries, as well as other heavy firepower, so this time, the Yanhuang clan can't afford not to pay a heavy price.

Now, it doesn't make much sense to divide the troops into three routes, so Guan Tiebing and the black-clothed Shura both led the troops to the Zhou Tiehu Department in front of the Xinghe Fortress, and the integration of the three route armies naturally increased their strength, but attacking the fortress is definitely not just by relying on more soldiers. Looking at the sturdy fortress, all the senior generals of the Yanhuang clan felt that this time it was a big trouble. (To be continued......)
