Chapter 881, Canyon Decisive Battle (5)
Tiger warriors can be called one of the strongest warriors on land. If you want to defeat them from the front, you usually have to pay a very heavy price.
In the last battle of the Qingshui River Valley, the Divine Eagle Army used the Honeycomb Ballista to kill a large number of Khajiit warriors, and successfully lured away the Linhai Empire's saber-toothed tiger regiment, gaining a great advantage for a time.
However, even so, in the final decisive battle, the Condor Army still lost a large number of land forces before completely defeating it.
Although it was already sunset on Tiger Picking Day, the skinny camels were bigger than horses, and the strength of his Tiger Army should not be underestimated.
To deal with Khajiit warriors, the Hive Ballista is a very good choice.
However, because the Honeycomb Crossbow was too bulky, it was very unrealistic to transport it to Lhasa via the Tea Horse Road, so Bai Ze transferred a weakened version of the Honeycomb Crossbow, the Barbarian Legion, from the Guanzhong area.
In addition to being good at melee combat, barbarians are also masters at long-range throwing.
I remember that when Ning Yuan went to the barbarian tribe for the first time, he was beaten and fled by a group of barbarians led by Andrew.
After conquering the barbarian tribe, Ning Yuan asked dwarf craftsmen to build sharp bloodletting javelins for them because of the barbarians' ability to throw.
Although the Linhai Empire's Khajiit army is very elite, they have a fatal flaw, that is, all Khajiit warriors are light armored infantry.
Light infantry shields can withstand bow and arrow fire, but are difficult to withstand javelin piercing attacks.
Bai Ze was worried that the Snow Mountain Army would not be able to exert its full strength due to guilt when encountering the Tiger Army, so to ensure nothing went wrong, he transferred 10,000 barbarian warriors from the Guanzhong area.
Since Bai Ze had been showing weakness to the enemy, Hu Zhairi did not expect that the strength of the Shenying Army in the Yangbajing area had already exceeded his return army, so he only guarded against the possible rain of arrows. He didn't expect a deadly hail of javelins to suddenly appear.
The moment he saw the javelins flying out, Hu Zhairi's heart suddenly rose to his throat. It wasn't until he saw Hu Rui ordering the Tiger Army to retreat in time that his heart finally relaxed. .
After taking the attacking Tiger Army out of the range of the javelin, Hu Rui immediately ran towards the army at the rear.
After arriving in front of Hu Zhairi, Hu Rui immediately said: "Your Majesty, the shields in our hands cannot withstand the enemy's javelins. Without the cover of the owl army, we may have to pay huge casualties if we want to get close to the stone wall.
Can your Majesty move the owl corps resting in the camp to the front line so that they can contain the enemy and buy us time to get closer to the stone wall? "
Hu Zhairi nodded with satisfaction and said: "We thought of going together. I have sent people back to gather the owl warriors who are resting. I believe they will arrive at the battlefield soon.
Hey, these eight owl warriors from the Tianlong Guild are so unorganized and disciplined that they dare to disobey military orders and leave the team without authorization. When they come back, I will definitely punish them. "
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Our camp was attacked by a large number of Silver Pegasus knights, and the remaining owl army has been completely destroyed."
While Hu Zhairi and Hu Rui were chatting and waiting for support from the Owl Legion, a Khajiit warrior with three or four arrows stuck in his body ran and shouted.
After recognizing that the Khajiit warrior was a member of the camp, Hu Zhairi rushed over in one swift step, grabbed the man's chest and shouted loudly: "What did you say? What happened to our camp?"
The tiger warrior gasped and said: "Your Majesty, after you left, a large number of Silver Pegasus knights suddenly came out from the snow-capped mountains on the east and west sides.
Those Silver Pegasus knights surrounded our camp, and our owl army hurriedly took off to fight, but in the end they were outnumbered and all died in the battle. "
"Impossible. The Silver Pegasus Knights of the Condor Army are clearly here on the front line. They led our Owl Army to the south. How could they suddenly appear in our camp?
Wait, you said the Owl Legion is outnumbered?
How many Silver Pegasus knights were there who raided our camp? "
Hu Zhairi looked in disbelief at first, then suddenly thought of something and asked directly.
"There are about twenty to thirty thousand people. Anyway, they are densely packed. Their figures are everywhere in the sky." The tiger warrior replied.
After hearing the clear answer, Hu Zhairi let go of the tiger warrior who came to report the news. His face was full of exhaustion, as if he had suddenly aged by more than ten years.
After hearing that there were 20,000 to 30,000 Silver Pegasus knights attacking the rear camp, all the doubts that had been lingering in Tiger Zhairi's mind for so many days were suddenly answered.
No wonder the defenders of Lhasa City were able to escape and tip off him.
No wonder there were only a few thousand Silver Pegasus knights who attacked our army before.
No wonder the Condor Army did not deploy any ground troops in the Nagqu area.
No wonder the Damxiong City guarding the canyon basin was easily breached by him.
It turned out that all this was a strategy used by the enemy to show weakness and lure the enemy deeper. The purpose was to lead them into this canyon basin with only two exits.
Now that the enemy no longer hides their strength, the passage behind them must also be blocked by the enemy.
After losing the Owl Legion, it may be difficult to break through the enemy's defense line in the south with just the Tiger Army in his hands.
The east and west sides are covered with snow-capped mountains. If they choose to forcibly climb over the snow-capped mountains, they will only become a living target for the Silver Pegasus knights.
For the current plan, either lead the army directly into those hot water pools whose depths are unknown. Whether they can rush out alive depends on destiny.
Either they can directly escape to Damxion City against the attack of the Silver Pegasus Knights, defend the city, and then hope that the passage behind them is not blocked, or that the enemy blocking the passage is not strong enough, and they can break out.
Although all the soldiers of the Tiger Army can swim, and the temperature of the hot water pool is not that high, if those annoying Silver Pegasus knights arrive when they rush into the hot water pool, they will probably die forever. It sank to the bottom of the water.
The risk of leading the army to break out of the encirclement is also very high. This place is 70 or 80 kilometers away from Damxung City.
At such a long distance, tens of thousands of Silver Pegasus knights will chase them all the way to the end.
Although the Tiger Army soldiers are very skilled and have shields in their hands that can withstand arrows, when they are escaping, they simply cannot concentrate all their attention on defending against cold arrows from the air, so it is very likely that they will be trapped backward. Point of no return.
"Pass my military order, all Tiger Army officers and soldiers will immediately retreat back, the target is Xiongcheng."
After careful consideration, Hu Zhairi finally chose to retreat to Damxiong City.
