Chapter seven hundred and sixty-eight serial traps
"That's wrong!" A staff member shook his head and objected, "The last time Zhao Yuan evacuated Tongzhou City, he was already ready to come back, and some strategic materials were sealed but not taken away. But this time, he not only took away
All the supplies, even some that were not taken away, were burned, which shows that he never thought about coming back."
"What if burning military supplies is just a tactic to deceive soldiers?" the first aide retorted.
"this……"
"I believe that no matter what the villain Zhao Yuan's conspiracy is, it must be centered around Tongzhou City. It is not suitable to stay in Tongzhou City for a long time, so it is better to give up altogether."
"no!"
The giant spirit god flatly refused.
For the Giant Spirit God, Tongzhou City is no longer just a dilapidated city, but also a spiritual symbol. If Zhao Yuan really has the possibility of coming back, then he should stay here.
If Zhao Yuan doesn't come back and abandons Tongzhou City, wouldn't it make the world laugh? People in Da Qin will think that he was scared away by Zhao Yuan's reputation.
"What's the news from the scout?" asked the giant spirit god.
"After careful inspection, Zhao Yuan may have retreated in three directions. Because the wind and snow were too heavy, some traces were covered up, and it was impossible to determine which way." A soldier with a solemn face said.
"Three ways...why three ways?" The giant spirit god showed a trace of doubt.
"General, I think this is Zhao Yuan's trick to confuse you. Let the general lead the army to chase in one direction, and then set up an ambush..."
"..."
A group of staff discussed in a hurry, but in the end they did not come up with a specific response plan. However, everyone believed that in order to strengthen the defense of Tongzhou City, at least not all troops and horses could be concentrated in Tongzhou City.
Avoid being wiped out by a sneak attack.
Julingshen accepted the advice of a group of staff and set up camp outside Tongzhou City, dispersed the 100,000 troops. With this layout, even if Zhao Yuan suddenly attacked, the losses would not be too great, and it could form a trend of echoing each other. If
Zhao Yuan's sneak attack can form an outflank immediately.
Ten days!
It has been ten days.
An infantry unit led by Zhao Yuan hid in a valley blocked by heavy snow and remained stationary.
The other two soldiers and horses, one stationed in the original small town, and the other a cavalry, more than 20,000 people, took a small road and ran towards Orange Island.
Finally, Zhao Yuan, who had been hiding in the valley for ten days, took action.
However, it was not the Qin infantry who took action first, but more than 500 bloody bulls.
More than five hundred bloody bulls, led by the Heaven-defying Monkey, ran towards Tongzhou City.
This time, he was not running quietly, but running wildly in broad daylight, hitting mountains and rivers, flying sand and rocks, and rushing with momentum, as if the sky was falling apart.
It would take at least more than a day to reach the distance between five hundred bloody bulls and Tongzhou City. No one understood why Zhao Yuan wanted the blood bulls to run with such fanfare, because it was completely possible to approach Tongzhou City before taking any other measures.
surprise attack.
After the five hundred bloody bulls left, Zhao Yuan led 80,000 infantrymen and marched in another direction.
After marching for more than two hours, Zhao Yuan reached his destination, a wide glacier, and in front of the glacier was a vast plain.
Eighty thousand infantrymen began to dig traps on a large scale.
It is undoubtedly quite difficult to dig traps in the snowy fields with heavy snowfall. However, the biggest advantage of digging traps in the snowy fields is that they are very hidden, because the flying snow in the sky can quickly hide all traces.
Various traps, snagging ropes, and horse traps stretch for miles on the snowfield, all the way to the glacier bank.
The glacier bank is the most important trap.
The glacier was completely frozen, but Zhao Yuan dug a trench five meters wide and three meters deep in the middle of the glacier. The trench was covered with bamboo strips and supported by wooden pillars. Then he placed white snow on it, poured cold water on it, and condensed it.
It is solid ice. Immediately, the originally deep ice trench became integrated with the ice surface, making it difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
At this time, Zhao Yuan's purpose was self-evident.
The soldiers were extremely excited, as if they were seeing thousands of crusaders falling into those traps one after another...
This is the only way for the Crusaders!
Through careful reconnaissance, Zhao Yuan discovered that the Crusaders passed through this glacier when they rushed to aid Tongzhou City twice. Especially the Crusaders coming from the direction of Orange Island, without exception, all passed through this glacier.
According to the map, this road is the closest and best road from Juzizhou to Tongzhou City.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Although 80,000 people are not enough to move mountains and seas, it is easy to dig enough traps.
In just two days, a huge semicircular chain of traps, two miles wide and half a mile long, was completed.
This semicircular shape is an ingenious work, forming a C-shaped encirclement. As long as the Crusaders' cavalry penetrates deep into the circle, unless they turn back, no matter which direction they go, there will be a trap.
Now, all we have to do is wait for the Crusaders to arrive.
No one understands why Zhao Yuan is so sure that the Crusaders will pass through this road immediately. If the Crusaders hold on to Tongzhou City, there will be no reward for their efforts.
Just as Zhao Yuan led 80,000 people to desperately dig traps, more than 20,000 cavalrymen had arrived at the small towns near Orange Island, dispersed into several small teams, and began to attack the Crusaders stationed in the small towns.
Only after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Crusaders stationed some rangers in some small towns to monitor the local people. Most of these rangers ranged from thirty to fifty people, and in slightly larger towns, there were more than a thousand.
This Qin cavalry, which numbered more than 20,000, was divided into dozens of small teams, with a maximum number of around 500 people. Although the number was not large, it constituted an absolute advantage over the rangers stationed in those small towns.
The game of cat and mouse is played out hundreds of miles outside Orange Island.
Raid, assassination, and burning happened non-stop. Orange Island sent troops to chase and intercept them everywhere...
…
At the same time, five hundred bloody bulls led by Nitian Monkey had arrived in Tongzhou City.
This time, the Blood Barbarian Bull did not go straight into the city like last time. Instead, it rushed back and forth crazily outside Tongzhou City, harassing the Crusaders' camp. Often, wherever the Blood Barbarian Bull passed, it was immediately razed to the ground, leaving a mess.
.
However, this time, the Crusaders had already taken precautions. Whenever the Blood Barbarian Bull charged, they had already gotten out of the way without causing many casualties. However, the harassment of the Blood Barbarian Bull still made the Crusaders miserable.
After all, this was a freezing winter. As soon as the Blood Barbarian Bull charged, they had to rebuild the camp, and the damage to military supplies was also very serious.
Facing the harassment of the Blood Barbarian Bulls, the Crusaders had no way to do anything, because the Blood Barbarian Bulls were too powerful, and every time they gathered together, they were like a bloody torrent, unstoppable...
…
Seeing the Crusaders outside the city being tortured by the Blood Barbarian Bull, the Giant Spirit God's lungs were about to explode. In fact, he had a way to deal with the Blood Barbarian Bull. Like General Gore, he could also summon
The gods fight. Even if the gods cannot kill the blood bulls, they can still drive them away. However, the giant spirit gods cannot act rashly.
Summoning gods is not as simple as eating and dressing. Every summoning requires a huge amount of spiritual power. If you summon gods now to deal with the blood bull, you will not be able to summon gods for a long time.
The target of the Giant Spirit God is not the Blood Barbarian Bull, but Zhao Yuan. He is waiting for Zhao Yuan to appear. He believes that Zhao Yuan will definitely come!
However, the Giant Spirit God did not wait for Zhao Yuan to arrive, but received news that a large number of Great Qin cavalry had arrived outside Orange Island City, and began to harass the surrounding towns, trying to isolate Orange Island City, and the defender of Orange Island
They did not dare to dispatch the defenders of Orange Island, so they could only send a small number of cavalry to pursue and intercept them. However, because the Qin cavalry did not reach any place and could leave quickly, and they were scattered into many small teams, this made the Crusaders extremely anxious and exhausted...
This time, the giant spirit god could no longer sit still.
Obviously, Zhao Yuan's goal is not Tongzhou City. The Blood Barbarian Bull's harassment in Tongzhou City is just to contain him in Tongzhou City. In fact, his goal is Orange Island.
Now, the situation in Orange Island is very dangerous.
Zhao Yuan did not attack Orange Island at this time, but sent a large number of cavalry to harass the surrounding towns. Obviously, he was determined to defeat Orange Island and did not dare to send a large army to encircle and suppress it.
Of course, Zhao Yuan was full of tricks, and it was very possible that he just wanted the garrison in Orange Island to leave the city for encirclement and suppression.
Even if Zhao Yuan could not capture Orange Island, he could not allow those cavalry to wreak havoc on Orange Island...
