Zhao Yuan's move back to the carbine had a far-reaching impact. It not only killed the active forces of the Crusaders, but also strangled all the Crusaders near Tongzhou City. This greatly eased the pressure on the local resistance forces and gained living space.
began to flourish and grow.
In addition to the direct attack on the Crusaders, a large number of war horses were captured in these two battles in Tongzhou City. Especially in this victory, more than 50,000 war horses were captured. Such a large number of war horses established the foundation for the Qin Empire.
The cavalry provided the conditions.
The next day and night, Zhao Yuan arranged for manpower to send most of the war horses to Zhenshuiguan.
Compared with Tongzhou City, Zhenshuiguan requires more war horses. Moreover, Zhenshuiguan has strategic depth and is safer.
The great victory in Tongzhou City soon spread throughout the entire Great Qin Empire. This news made the cold Great Qin Empire seem to have arrived in spring in advance. The people of Great Qin rushed to tell each other, especially some local resistance forces, who were even more excited.
For the resistance forces in the areas occupied by the Crusaders, any victory of the Qin Empire was exciting.
Zhao Yuan's reputation became more and more resounding in the Great Qin Empire, and he became a benchmark figure in the resistance to the Crusaders. At this time, in the Great Qin Empire, the once famous General Chang Kong had been gradually forgotten, and the Undefeated God of War had become
The hope of all the people of Great Qin is like the rising sun rising in the east.
When Zhao Yuan won successive victories in Tongzhou City, Heishui City also took a series of military actions to cooperate.
As early as when Zhao Yuan was still marching in the snowy field, General Chang Kong received a letter from the golden eagle in the sea of clouds.
Originally, General Changkong wanted to cooperate with Zhao Yuan in the battle, but for safety reasons, General Changkong delayed it for a few days. It was not until Zhao Yuan captured Tongzhou City that Blackwater City launched a large-scale military operation.
The three barracks, Rolling Stone Barracks, Maple Grove Barracks, and Jiudaowan Barracks, echoed each other from a distance. With the Slave Cavalry as the middle force, they began to launch successive military operations against the surrounding Crusader Rangers.
In order to prevent Blackwater City from expanding its power, General Gore refused to give in and immediately retaliated.
In the ice and snow, the Great Qin Empire and the Crusaders launched a brutal and bloody fight. There was no final winner in the fight. Although the assassin cavalry was brave and good at fighting, they could not defeat General Gore's army in just a few battles.
possible.
Blackwater City, with a radius of hundreds of miles, has become a huge meat grinder. The number of soldiers invested by both sides is getting larger and larger, and the number of soldiers dying on the battlefield every day has skyrocketed...
Just when the Qin army and the Crusaders in Heishui City were locked in a tug-of-war, the news that Zhao Yuan had abandoned Tongzhou City reached Heishui City, which severely damaged the morale of Heishui City.
Before they could figure out what Zhao Yuan was facing, Blackwater City ended this brief but terrifyingly intense battle and began to adopt a wait-and-see approach.
The Qin army retreated to Blackwater City to watch, which made the nervous Crusaders heave a long sigh of relief. After all, no one wanted to fight outside in such bad weather...
…
When the news that Zhao Yuan killed a beautiful carbine and severely damaged the Crusaders reached Blackwater City again, the entire Blackwater City was boiling, and the soldiers were full of fighting spirit.
General Chang Kong lost no time in sending troops again and launched a head-on war of attrition against the Crusaders' camp.
The war of attrition in the cold weapon age was terrifying. On the snowy wasteland outside Blackwater City, the Crusaders and the armies of the Qin Empire once again fell into a bloody tug-of-war.
This is a cruel winter.
Every day, thousands of people are killed or injured.
Within a hundred kilometers outside Blackwater City, sneak attacks, ambushes, and frontal charges have become commonplace...
General Gore faced unprecedented pressure.
The morale of the Qin army is getting stronger and stronger, but the Crusaders are becoming more and more war-weary because they don't have the advantage of the black-winged Kunpeng.
Now, General Gore still has nearly ten thousand black-winged Kunpeng under his command, but he no longer dares to release these heavenly troops that he was once proud of, because the Great Qin Empire has already found a way to deal with the black-winged Kunpeng.
method.
The sharp archers led by Lan Cai'er were wandering in the vast snowfield like ghosts. They became the nemesis of the black-winged Kunpeng.
In the early days of the confrontation between the two armies, the Crusaders lost only dozens of black-winged Kunpeng every day. However, the number began to increase dramatically as time went by. At the peak, the number of broken Black-winged Kunpeng was as high as hundreds. This number has already
It was more than General Gore could bear.
Just when the battle situation in Heishui City became increasingly fierce, that is, on the seventh day after Zhao Yuan captured Tongzhou City again, Heishui City suddenly received news that more than 100,000 Qin troops in Tongzhou City suddenly evacuated again.
Just like last time, this time, Zhao Yuan's evacuation was still silent. When the people of Tongzhou City opened the door in the morning, the originally crowded city became empty again.
More than 100,000 Qin troops disappeared without any warning.
At first, many people thought that Zhao Yuan was only temporarily evacuating like last time. However, careful people soon discovered that Zhao Yuan's evacuation this time was very thorough. Not only did he take away some heavy equipment, but also the food in the granary.
All the food was moved, and the military supplies that could not be taken away were also burned. Thick smoke billowed over Tongzhou City, covering the sky and the sun.
Tongzhou City became an empty city, an undefended empty city.
Hundreds of thousands of troops trudged through the gray and icy snowfields.
No one knows why Zhao Yuan suddenly ordered the evacuation of Tongzhou City. This order came so suddenly that not even Tu Laoer and a group of senior generals knew about it.
Blackwater City learned that it was already the seventh day when Zhao Yuan evacuated Tongzhou City, but in fact, Zhao Yuan only stayed in Tongzhou City for five days.
In the past five days, Zhao Yuan only cleaned up military discipline and trained new soldiers, but never did anything else. In the early morning of the fifth day, hundreds of thousands of troops were ordered to evacuate Tongzhou City.
Fifty miles after leaving Tongzhou City, this army, which had won two battles in succession and had high morale, immediately divided into three groups and began to advance in three directions.
Like last time, Zhao Yuan sent out all the experts around him, including a group of monsters, to start hunting down the Crusaders' scouts.
The three armies disappeared into the vast white world out of thin air...
…
The fall of Tongzhou City shocked the Juzizhou Giant Spirit God beyond measure.
As one of the commanders of the four armies, the Giant Spirit God has absolute control. In just three days, he mobilized a hundred thousand troops.
The giant spirit god's hatred for Zhao Yuan can no longer be described in words.
Ever since Zhao Yuan occupied Zhenshuiguan, the Giant Spirit God had not had a good night's sleep. Because of the negative effects of Zhenshuiguan, there were more and more underground resistance forces in the Great Qin Empire. This made the Giant Spirit God anxious and everywhere.
repression.
The two falls of Tongzhou City caused the Crusaders to lose hundreds of thousands of elites, which made the Giant Spirit God even more intolerable.
Finally, the giant spirit overcame all opinions and decided to conquer Tongzhou City personally, vowing to hang Zhao Yuan's head on Tongzhou City.
A hundred thousand troops, clad in stars and moons, rushed toward Tongzhou City with murderous intent.
On the seventh day, the Giant Spirit God arrived at Tongzhou City. However, what surprised the Giant Spirit God was that Tongzhou City had become an empty city.
At first, the Giant Spirit God thought there was an ambush. After several tests, he was sure that Zhao Yuan had already evacuated Tongzhou City and was nowhere to be found.
In order to find out Zhao Yuan's whereabouts, the giant spirit tortured countless Tongzhou people to extract confessions, but in the end, nothing was found.
In order to determine the direction of Zhao Yuan's army, the Giant Spirit God sent a large number of black-winged Kunpeng and scouts, but they either found nothing or never returned.
The vast snowfield has become a huge trap, constantly devouring lives.
Wearing iron armor and sitting on a chair, the giant spirit god was like a majestic mountain. He fell into hard thinking. His intuition told him that Zhao Yuan must have a plan, but he couldn't figure out how to evacuate Zhao Yuan.
The reason for Tongzhou City.
In fact, not only the Giant Spirit God can't figure it out, but also his team of think tanks can't understand each other. You know, in this cold weather, it is impossible for an army of hundreds of thousands to hide in the wilderness for a long time, even if it is not possible.
If you starve to death, you will also freeze to death.
"General, will the evil Zhao Yuan go to Orange Island?" An officer expressed his opinion.
"Going to Orange Island?" The Giant Spirit God sneered, "You are an idiot to think that the undefeated God of War of the Great Qin Empire! Now, although Zhao Yuan has hundreds of thousands of infantry, he only has a small number of cavalry. Let's go to Orange Island and count them all the way.
Baili, aren't you going to die? Besides, even if he goes to Orange Island, the journey is far away and the news will definitely be leaked. When the time comes, I will send my troops straight down to form an outflank, does Zhao Yuan still have a way to survive?"
"What the general said is absolutely true." An aide nodded and said: "Zhao Yuan seems to be deliberately hiding his tracks. However, in this blizzard weather and freezing weather, unless they stay in one place, as long as they take military action, they will definitely
They would expose their flaws, so it was impossible for them to sneak attack on Orange Island. Besides, Orange Island had strong soldiers and horses. As long as Zhao Yuan led his troops to enter, he would be throwing himself into a trap and would be attacked from all directions. Beiji believed that Zhao Yuan would be attacked from all directions.
It might have been..."
"Speak directly if you have anything to say!" The giant spirit god said a little impatiently when he saw that the staff member was hesitant to speak.
"Zhao Yuan may want to repeat his old trick and attack Tongzhou City secretly."
"How do you say this?" The Giant Spirit God's body trembled.
"This Tongzhou City is seriously damaged. It is a cold winter now, and the city walls are frozen by ice. In addition, there is a lack of stone materials and cannot be repaired in a short time. In other words, this Tongzhou City is actually an undefended city. Although we have one hundred thousand
Army, but the other side has a group of bloody bulls brought out from the Black Forest. They charge into the battle and are invincible. Just like they took advantage of our unpreparedness and rushed into Tongzhou, the consequences will be disastrous!"
