The 50,000 Crusader cavalry from Bafang City did not come.
News of the fall of Bafang City and Zhenshuiguan spread throughout the Qin Empire. The deaths of General Bach, Sergei Army and General Rohm deeply shocked the Crusaders and caused a sensation in the entire Qin Empire.
If it is understandable that General Bach and General Sergei died on the battlefield, then the death of Rohm was incomprehensible to the Crusaders.
The soldiers and civilians of the Qin Empire could not understand Roma's status in the Kingdom of Heaven.
No matter how notorious and vicious Rom is, people have to admit that he is the greatest assassin in the Kingdom of Heaven in recent years, and this greatest assassin failed for the first time when assassinating Zhao Yuan, and
, and eventually died in the hands of Zhao Yuan - currently, no one knows that Rom died in the hands of his own people.
The Crusaders killed three famous generals in succession, and they just killed the Crusaders with high morale.
The originally lifeless Great Qin Empire was like a strong wind due to the appearance of Zhao Yuan. This strong wind swept across the entire territory of the Great Qin Empire. The gentry and local tyrants were all ready to take action, and some young people in the empire were even more ambitious.
As the saying goes, heroes emerge from troubled times, and it is natural that heroes emerge from troubled times.
Zhao Yuan, who rose up in rebellion, became a model for resisting foreign enemies and an idol for young people in the Qin Empire.
In the past, Zhao Yuan was also the idol of many young people. The image of Zhao Yuan at that time could not be compared with the image now, because the image now involves the life and death of the country, and its positive significance is much more important.
Zhao Yuan's reputation has reached an unprecedented height.
If Zhao Yuan was just a reckless hero before, now Zhao Yuan has become a patriotic hero who saved the Qin Empire.
A fanatical atmosphere surged in Zhenshuiguan.
No one knows Zhao Yuan's anxiety. Everyone believes that as long as Zhao Yuan leads, the future will be bright.
Zhao Yuan stood on the city wall, and his rock-like armor made people feel extremely ancient and vicissitudes of life under the sun.
Where did Fairy Caixia and the others go?
It has been almost a month since Zhao Yuan appeared, and everyone knows about it, but there is still no news about Fairy Caixia and the others.
Lan Cai'er nestled on Zhao Yuan's arm, she could feel Zhao Yuan's sadness.
"Zhao Lang, don't worry. Ji people have their own destiny. Sister Fairy has been in the Qin Empire for hundreds of years. What's more, there is also the resourceful Wan Ling'er and they are together, taking care of each other. Even if there is any danger, they will definitely be safe.
Someone who can turn misfortune into good fortune." Lan Cai'er said softly with relief.
"Yeah." Zhao Yuan nodded and sighed.
"Zhao Lang, shall we stay here and wait at Zishui Pass?" Lan Cai'er changed the subject.
"No." Zhao Yuan shook his head.
"What's the plan?" Lan Cai'er's blue eyes lit up.
"I need cavalry."
Zhao Yuan looked at the sky in the distance. He could see a group of Crusader rangers moving in the crop fields on the plain.
Now, although Zhenshuiguan has fallen into the hands of Zhao Yuan, in fact, the place controlled by Zhao Yuan's army is within Zhenshuiguan City. Outside the city, there is the world of Crusader cavalry. They are like ghosts.
, elusive, coming and going like the wind.
"Unfortunately, this place is too far from the Cinu Prairie." Lan Cai'er sighed.
"Chanyu can definitely assist Blackwater City now, why do you have to wait for me to arrive at the Cinu Prairie in person?" Zhao Yuan frowned.
"Zhao Lang, you also know that the little emperor of the Great Qin Empire..."
"And General Changkong."
"General Changkong is old. The last time he fought with General Gore in the imperial capital, he was seriously injured and has not recovered yet. In the Qin Empire, there are only a few people who can speak in the military.
, but Shanyu doesn’t believe them..."
"He believes me? I killed his father!" Zhao Yuan snorted coldly.
"Zhao Lang, our Cinu clan worships the strong. On the one hand, the Cinu people worship the strong and follow whoever is strong. This is related to our authority. In ancient times, we worshiped the Qin Empire, so
Just go with the Great Qin Empire. Zhao Lang killed Luna Luo at the foot of Heishui City, chased King Shanyu for thousands of miles, and killed Master Ruolin, the King of Martial Arts in the imperial capital of the Great Qin Empire. In my clan of assassins, I have a great reputation. Although
Not only are I afraid of you, but I also respect you, so if we are negotiating terms with the Qin Empire, it must be Zhao Lang."
"You need to write a letter first so that they can be prepared. I will rush to the Cinu Grassland as soon as possible."
"Okay, Zhao Lang." Lan Caier's face showed a hint of joy.
"You can stay there just out of reach, but water from afar cannot quench your thirst nearby!"
Zhao Yuan took off Lan Cai'er's short bow from his shoulder and gently stroked it in his hand. Then, he took out a black-feathered arrow from the quiver behind Lan Cai'er's back, placed the arrow on the string, and slowly pulled out the bow string.
For an instant, the entire city tower was suffocatingly quiet.
Time and space seemed to have frozen at this moment.
The soldiers on duty on the city wall cast their fanatical eyes on Zhao Yuan.
During the past half month, Zhao Yuan climbed up to the city tower to shoot arrows almost every day. His arrows were always fired and never missed. It was precisely because of Zhao Yuan's terrifying archery skills that the Crusaders cavalry did not dare to approach Zishui Pass unscrupulously.
Zhao Yuan's target was a Ranger officer.
Through observation during this period, Zhao Yuan discovered that most of the rangers were in groups of nine, among which there would be an officer with a slightly higher rank than the ordinary cavalry leading the team, and Zhao Yuan's target was the officer leading the team.
Zhao Yuan did not kill people for fun.
Although there were 100,000 troops at Zhenshuiguan, in fact, these 100,000 troops could not fight against the well-trained cavalry in a short period of time. In order to keep their morale, Zhao Yuan had no choice but to personally go out and kill the Crusaders' rangers.
.
There is no doubt that Zhao Yuan's method is very effective. It not only prevents the rangers from getting close to the city wall, but also greatly boosts the morale of the Qin Empire soldiers defending the city.
During this period, Zhao Yuan had almost no rest. He knew very well that the survival of the entire Zhenshuiguan Pass depended on him, and he had a heavy responsibility.
In fact, not only Zhao Yuan did not rest, but also the Golden Eagle of the Sea of Clouds did not rest. In order to find out the movements of the Crusaders and beware of the Crusaders' sneak attack on Zhenshuiguan, the Golden Eagle of the Sea of Clouds would fly out every once in a while to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.
Zhao Yuan discovered that the reconnaissance significance of the Yunhai Golden Eagle is actually not very great, because the Rangers' activities are too frequent, and the scope of their activities is also getting larger and larger. They can launch a large-scale battle at any time.
, the reconnaissance of the Yunhai Golden Eagle has become dispensable. Now, what Zhenshuiguan has to do is to prepare for war at any time.
Now, what troubles Zhao Yuan the most is that he cannot take the initiative.
Zhao Yuan is not good at defense.
During Zhao Yuan's legendary career, he almost always launched attacks. Even when facing peerless masters like Luna Luo and the King of Martial Arts, Zhao Yuan was able to take the initiative, fight against the odds, and fight to the bitter end.
Using infantry to attack cavalry is simply seeking death.
Now, what Zhao Yuan hopes most is for the Crusaders to attack the city, and then use the advantages of the city wall and population to wear away the Crusaders bit by bit.
Unfortunately, the Crusaders were not fooled, but moved several miles away, causing a psychological shock to the Qin soldiers at Zhenshuiguan. If Zhao Yuan had not continuously climbed the city wall to attack the Crusaders' arrogance, the Qin Empire's
The soldiers guarding the city may have collapsed long ago. After all, most of them are not regular troops, but farmers who have just put down their farm tools. Let alone fighting, they just hold a weapon and their movements are not standardized. They are expected to go out of the city to kill the enemy.
That's nothing more than a fool's dream...
…
"General, someone wants to see you." Tu Laoer climbed up the tower.
"Who?" Zhao Yuan saw that the expression on Tu Laoer's face was a little strange.
"Some martial arts figures and cultivators..."
"Let them come up." Zhao Yuan said calmly.
"Yes, General." Tu Lao'er turned around and went down to the city with a respectful expression. After Zhao Yuan regained Zhenshuiguan without any troops, Tu Lao'er's fanatical admiration for Zhao Yuan has reached an unparalleled level.
No matter what arrangements Zhao Yuan made, he always obeyed his words.
"Why is Zhao Lang smiling... Huh... I understand, I understand..." Lan Cai'er was very familiar with Zhao Yuan. When she saw the fleeting smile on the corner of Zhao Yuan's mouth, she immediately noticed something.
"What does Cai'er understand?" Zhao Yuan chuckled.
"Zhao Lang has deliberately ignored those martial arts figures and cultivators during this period, just to make them volunteer to kill the enemy." Lan Cai'er said with a sly expression.
"Cai'er has almost turned into a roundworm in Zhao's stomach." Zhao Yuan laughed.
"What are roundworms?" Lan Cai'er was stunned.
"...Uh." Zhao Yuan was petrified immediately. He actually used some words from the earth here, and quickly changed the subject and said: "Cai'er, I have a gift for you, close your eyes."
"What kind of gift... is so mysterious, you still have to close your eyes." Lan Cai'er pouted, but still closed her eyes.
