Several years have passed after Gushan City fell, the last mountain city that was still resisting was captured by the Asura army on the grassland, and the Asura imperial army in the whole city was killed in battle.

At this time, almost ten years have passed since the war between the two sides began. There are very few left to survive until now.

The Demon Tiger Fort is the border between the Asura Imperial Army and the Asura Army in the Grassland. It is the most important military center and the last key fortress of the Asura Imperial Army. If this fortress is lost, the Asura Army in the Grassland can drive straight in.

Therefore, the battle for this Demon Tiger Fort is of great significance to both sides, and the two armies have fought many bloody battles here.

The results of these battles are very different, and it can be said that they did not get any benefits in the end.

The Demon Tiger Fort was initially taken down by the Asura Army in the grassland due to the mistakes in response to the Asura Army. Then the Asura Army launched the Battle of the Demon Tiger Fort in an attempt to recover it.

The important task of regaining the Demon Tiger Castle fell on the shoulders of Asura King Zongtian.

Zong Tian is a famous general among King Asura and has also served as the vanguard of the Asura Emperor for a long time. Given the great significance of the Battle of the Demon Tiger Fort, the Asura King Council ordered him and Mingtang and others to discuss the combat plan together.

Generals such as Mingtang are not inclined to attack the Demon Tiger Castle, because the terrain of the Demon Tiger Castle is steep and the road is long. If you launch an attack rashly and cannot conquer it, you will be in a dilemma.

Under Zong Tian's insistence, several large corps were finally mobilized to form a powerful assault force, traveling day and night, and the troops were divided into two groups, cutting off the traffic line of the Demon Tiger Fort one by one, and besieging the Demon Tiger Fort the other.

As a gateway to the Asura Army on the grassland, this Demon Tiger Fort further attacked the core area of ​​the Asura Emperor. It was built according to the danger, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

More importantly, it is close to the newly occupied land of Asura in the grassland, and a large number of troops can be dispatched to quickly support the Demon Tiger Fort, so besieging the city to attack aid has become the tactical choice of the Asura Imperial Army.

Due to the rapid advance of the Asura Emperor army under Zong Tian's command, they occupied the commanding heights around the Demon Tiger Castle City in one fell swoop, cutting off its connection with the outside world, and immediately made the Demon Tiger Castle an isolated city.

Then the Asura Imperial Army launched a fierce attack. The Asura defenders on the grassland could not resist without reinforcements, and the castle was finally captured.

The victory of this battle was a great encouragement to the Asura Imperial Army. You should know that since the war started, the Asura Imperial Army has been defeated and lost cities, and has never achieved a sharp victory and regained a lost city like now.

The Asura Army in the Grassland temporarily stopped attacking because of its defeat. It seemed that it could not accept it for a while and had been beaten by itself.

The Asura Imperial Army, which had no power to fight back, was able to fight back.

But the Asura Army in the Grassland did not stop the truce. After all, this is a strategic location, so how could it be so easy to let go?

After recapturing the Demon Tiger Fort, the Asura King Council did not let Zong Tian garrison, but instead asked another general Zhao Lei to take on this important position and be responsible for managing the Demon Tiger Fort, with a force of up to 500,000.

However, Zhao Lei was addicted to alcohol and sex while serving, and did not think about defense, which eventually led to a disaster.

Not long after, the Asura Army in the Grassland launched a sneak attack and easily captured the Demon Tiger Fort.

The news reached the Asura King's Council, and it was immediately in an uproar. The Asura King was furious and immediately removed him from office, causing him to wait for the new commander and fight with him to make meritorious service.

After recapturing the Demon Tiger Fort, the Asura Army in the Grassland immediately strengthened the Demon Tiger Fort and turned it into an indestructible fortress of death.

After the defeated Asura Emperor Army reappointed Zong Tian as the main general and came to take charge of the war, they immediately adjusted the personnel arrangements on the border.

Several hard-line generals were sent to serve as generals under Zong Tian.

The Asura Imperial Army began to take the initiative to attack. Zong Tian first defeated the branch base of the Asura army on the grassland, and then defeated the support camps it set up in nearby.

The Asura Army in the Grassland had more than one million troops stationed here. After the attack of Zongtian's army, more than one hundred thousand people were immediately wiped out, one out of ten.

Several nearby barracks were all defeated by Zong Tian with a blitzkrieg attack.

Then Zong Tian found that the enemy troops used Eagle Fort as their outposts, so he sent troops to occupy it.

Since the place is northeast of the Demon Tiger Fort, the Asura Imperial Army has made an advance of thousands of miles of troops and fought alone, so this battle has also become the prelude to the battle for the Demon Tiger Fort.

However, the battle for the Demon Tiger Fort started, and Zong Tian personally supervised the army. However, because the Demon Tiger Fort City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the interception of reinforcements was ignored, although the Asura Imperial Army was very brave, it still did not capture the Demon Tiger Fort.

In order to break the stalemate of this war, the Asura King Council continued to send outstanding generals to Zongtian to command the war.

At this time, Zong Tian held many positions. Zong Tian knew that the military power of the Asura on the grassland was strong, the situation was stable, and occupied a natural dangerous place. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was obviously not the best way to fight hard.

However, the Asura kings in the Asura King Council did not think so, and kept urging Zong Tian to take back the Demon Tiger Fort as soon as possible.

In fact, the most fundamental difference in this matter is that it has a different understanding of strategy.

During the period of Asura Emperor and the early days when the emperor had just passed away, the strategic intentions of Asura Emperor Army were based on a large-scale advancement to annihilate the enemy's vitality.

To defeat the opponent, so if you don’t fight, you will have to do it. Once a war begins, it will inevitably be a large-scale overall war.

However, from the late period of the fall of Emperor Asura, after several major battles and defeats, to the time when he is basically on the defensive, the Asura King Council, which actually controls the power, has completely abandoned the deep-seated strategic thinking and wants to base itself on the battle of one city and one pool. Therefore, although the war has been protracted, it cannot control the enemy to death.

Zong Tian wanted to change this clumsy tactic, but because he was accused of passive combat, he was restricted from his power. After that, Mingtang took over the command.

The Asura King Council still obsessed with the Demon Tiger Fort. They once again instructed the front-line general Mingtang to launch an attack on the Demon Tiger Fort as soon as possible to regain the military fortress.

Then, under the command of Mingtang, who received the order, the huge battle for the Demon Tiger Castle began.

In order to prepare for this huge offensive, the troops used include the Mingtang Corps and the remaining troops, totaling three million troops.

The reason why the Battle of Demon Tiger Fort is very difficult is mainly reflected in several aspects. The extremely strong defense of Demon Tiger Fort is one aspect. Since the Demon Tiger Fort changed hands several times, both sides are very clear about the other party’s background.

There are cliffs on three sides here, and there is only one road to walk on. It is a steep terrain that can be reached by one man and ten thousand men.

But this is not the main reason why the Demon Tiger Fort is difficult to conquer. Although the Demon Tiger Fort is extremely strong, it is just a small castle. There are not many defenders in the grassland Asura, which is far from the scale of Gushan City.

A more important factor is that after the Demon Tiger Fort, it is a plain with a flat mountain. Asura on the grassland has a large number of troops here, and can reinforce the Demon Tiger Fort at any time.

Therefore, the battle against the Demon Tiger Fort must be carried out while surrounding the points to attack the aid, and also to the Asura army on the grassland to reinforce the Demon Tiger Fort and seize the Demon Tiger Fort as quickly as possible.

This task is not easy at all. You should know that the reason why this Demon Tiger Castle is difficult to conquer is because its steep terrain is, and this also causes people to guard it. Although there are not many people, you cannot use many people to attack when attacking. You can only use oil-adding tactics to attack bit by bit.

This causes the depression that although there are many troops, they cannot use them all, and they have the feeling of having enough strength but not being able to use them.

Moreover, because the plain terrain behind him is very suitable for the cavalry activities of Asura on the grassland, although the Shura Imperial Army is gathered here, it is actually very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be attacked by the other party and cause great losses.
