Eight hundred and seventieth chapters, the decisive battle in the canyon (1)
The Nianqing Tanggula Mountains are a huge mountain range that runs across the east and west Tibet.
To the south of Nagqu, there is a huge fracture in the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains, with snow-capped mountains on both sides of the crack.
Walking south along the crack, there is a winding canyon basin with a length of nearly 200 kilometers.
Walk along the canyon and turn eastward through Yangbajing, and you can reach Lhasa.
When the Condor Army's rear wing army was about to catch up with the Tiger Picking Sun's army, the Silver Pegasus Knights and the Vampire Legion, which were responsible for harassing the enemy, immediately stopped harassing the enemy.
The Condor Heroes directly gave up the Nagqu area that had been captured and retreated to the south of the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains.
Although he didn't know why the Condor Heroes suddenly stopped harassing his own army, Hu Zhairi now has no choice but to choose. If he doesn't take Lhasa back, he will be dead.
After a brief rest in Nagqu, the army immediately entered the huge canyon in the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains through Xiangmao.
This huge canyon in the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains is surrounded by mountains with an altitude of 6,700 meters. The snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all year round and cannot be crossed by manpower.
Therefore, Tiger Picking Ri didn't worry that the enemy would set up ambush on the snowy mountains on both sides, and marched along the valley with great confidence.
Because of fear that the Owls' Legion would be attacked by the Condor Air Force when they acted alone, although the Owls' Legion could directly reach the Lhasa area along the straight line, Tiger Picking Ridge still asked them to accompany the Tiger Army to walk the winding canyon together.
A journey of 200 kilometers, the army of tigers plucked the sun took a total of four days.
On the evening of the fourth day, the army successfully arrived near Yangbajing.
After learning that the Condor Heroes had arranged heavy troops to defend in the Yangbajing area, Huzheri ordered the army to set up camp thirty miles away from Yangbajing. He prepared to let the soldiers rest for a night, and then launch a full-scale attack on the defenders of Yangbajing the next day.
The reason why the Condor Army no longer continues to harass the tiger-piercing Japanese army was mainly to introduce them into this canyon with only two exits from north and south to close the door and fight dogs. It is not that they are unable to harass it.
Now the enemy has entered the encirclement, and the Condor Army pursuing behind has entered this huge canyon, so they have nothing to hide.
At night, the vampire army, which was not afraid of the cold, flew directly over the snowy mountain and came to the camp of the Tiger Picking Sun Army.
Faced with the re-attack of the Vampire Legion, the soldiers under Hu Zhairi were not surprised. They all defended in an orderly manner and did not get lost due to the appearance of the Vampire Legion.
In the past, the vampire army would immediately evacuate after eight or nine times of throwing stones, and the soldiers thought that today would be similar to before.
However, just when everyone thought that the vampire legion was about to withdraw, the vampire legion had no intention of withdrawing.
They kept collecting stones from the mountains on both sides and poured them into the camp of the tiger-picking army.
It turned out that in the past, the reason why the vampire army retreated early was because the city where they were resting was far away from the camp of the Tiger Picking Sun Army. If they did not evacuate early, they would not be able to rush back before the sun rose.
After the Tiger Picking Sun Army arrived at Yangbajing, they only needed to fly over a snowy mountain, which took less than an hour to complete the journey, so they had plenty of time to harass the enemy all night.
The high-altitude and oxygen-deficient snow mountain is an insurmountable barrier for other races, but for vampires who are born not afraid of the cold, they are slightly higher hills. As long as there is no blizzard, they can fly over at any time.
As the night became deeper and deeper, the vampire army never wanted to retreat. When the vampire army launched the 20th stone rain attack on the camp of the Tiger Piri Army, Tiger Piri could no longer calm down.
In order to allow the army to get effective rest and not affect tomorrow's battle, Tiger Picking Day directly ordered 20,000 owl soldiers to take off urgently.
Taking advantage of the faction of the vampire army flying to the mountain beside them to collect stones, 20,000 owl soldiers rose directly to the altitude and firmly controlled the air supremacy above the camp.
Facing the owl army that was waiting for battle, Xue Guangyi did not order the vampire army to attack, but instead confronted the other party from afar.
In this way, the two air forces confronted each other in the sky for most of the night, and continued until the Vampire Legion voluntarily evacuated.
During this night's battle, although there were no major casualties between the enemy and us, the owl army, which was half of the Tiger Picking Sun Army, was successfully destroyed by the Vampire Legion.
The 20,000 owl warriors who did not get a rest for a day and a night were all exhausted physically and mentally. They were destined to be unable to participate in the Battle of Yangbajing the next day.
Tiger Picking Ri also knew that after missing 20,000 owl soldiers, their air force would be severely weakened, but compared to the entire army, he could only choose to sacrifice half of the air force's combat power, which was the least of the two evils.
In order to give the soldiers enough rest time, the tiger picking day kept the soldiers resting until the sun was at midnight.
After leaving the 20,000 owl warriors who had been staying overnight last night to guard the camp, Hu Zhairi led 27,000 Tiger Army and 20,000 owl warriors toward Yangbajing.
Yangbajing is located between the Yangbajing Basin and the Lhasa River Valley Plain. It guards the only passage from the north to enter Lhasa. Its geographical location is very important.
However, because the terrain of Yangbajing area is very flat and there are geothermal fields everywhere, it is not suitable for building a city.
In fact, in the narrow basin of the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains, the geographical location of Dangxiong County is more important.
As long as you can defend Dangxiong County, even if the enemy has a million troops, you will never want to enter the Lhasa area.
The reason why the Condor Heroes did not stick to Dangxiong County was mainly because they were worried that Tiger Picking Day would not dare to concentrate all their troops into the narrow and long basin south of the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains.
The Condor Army's concerns were not aimless. Tiger Picking Ri lived in Lhasa for so long. He knew better than anyone about this narrow basin that communicated between the north and south of Tibet.
When he first entered the basin, he did not immediately advance, but instead sent a vanguard army to inquire about the situation in Dangxiong County.
The Condor Heroes stationed a two-thousand Silver Pegasus Knights in Dangxiong County.
Facing the fierce attacks of tens of thousands of owl warriors and thousands of tiger troops, the Silver Pegasus Knights immediately fled after shooting a rain of arrows.
After capturing the only city in the canyon basin in Dangxiong County, Hu Zhairi dared to lead all the troops into the canyon basin.
