From beginning to end, Zhao Yuan did not participate in the battle, even though the Crusaders had ended the chaos and began to counterattack.
Only after the last battle between Zhao Yuan and the God of War Ares, Zhao Yuan began to get tired of fighting with mortals. For this reason, Zhao Yuan began to try to avoid being directly involved in war killings.
The war in the Great Qin Empire on Zhanyun Continent is no longer just a war between mortals. It has gradually escalated and evolved into a battle between strong men. In addition to the mythical beasts and monsters, gods have also begun to appear.
From Zhao Yuan's point of view, his enemies are not only the Crusaders, but also the clones of gods that may appear at any time.
Zhao Yuan's mood is changing.
numbness!
Cold-blooded!
In Zhao Yuan's eyes, these tens of thousands of soldiers fighting are like ants fighting. However, this kind of fighting is necessary because to defeat another group of ants, one must have a numerical advantage.
The best way to gain an advantage is to kill the opponent's vitality so that the opponent cannot resurrect.
Zhao Yuan achieved decisive victories in several successive battles in Tongzhou City, but he still paid an extremely heavy price.
In fact, when the battle of Tongzhou City began, it turned into a tragic war of attrition.
There is no shortcut to defeating the Crusaders. The only way is to make them fewer and fewer. As long as one more Crusader is killed, the Qin Empire will take another step towards victory.
Zhao Yuan had already foreseen massive casualties when he recruited a large number of new soldiers.
The Crusaders are not a weak army. When they invaded the Qin Empire, they have been trained into soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. Even if they set up an ambush, if they want to completely defeat and eliminate the opponent, they still need to be fearless.
Courage and determination...
…
The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty fell one by one, and the Crusaders also fell one by one. The wilderness swept by the snowstorm seemed to have turned into a silent horror movie. The soldiers just mechanically raised their weapons, attacking, withdrawing, and attacking again and again.
Take it back and fight with this primitive, brutal and simple action.
In such a large-scale battle with a narrow scope and a density of 200,000 soldiers, individual combat skills become ridiculous.
As the battle came to an end, the fighting style became more and more brutal and bloody, and more and more soldiers died together. Some soldiers lost their weapons, and their teeth became the best tools to attack the enemy.
The soldiers' movements became more and more sluggish, and the collisions between bodies were no longer as exciting as at the beginning. Instead, they fell down together, and then got up with difficulty, using all their strength to kill the soldiers in front of them.
Moving target…
…
Eighty thousand infantrymen would not have much advantage in strangling a hundred thousand cavalrymen in a trap.
The only thing that makes the infantrymen of the Great Qin Empire excited is their morale.
From the beginning to the end, the morale of the infantry of the Great Qin Empire was as high as a burning flame. The infantry rushed into the crowded cavalry camp one after another, like waves, fighting fearlessly, making it difficult for the cavalry to assemble effectively.
Form a battle formation.
The Crusaders were best at charging. As long as they couldn't use their speed to charge, it would be like a bird losing its wings.
Looking down from the hillside, it seems that the infantry of the Great Qin Empire have the upper hand, but in fact, the death ratio of both sides is basically equal to one to one. In other words, when a Crusader is killed, there is also a heroic soldier of the Great Qin Empire.
sacrifice.
Traps still threaten the Crusaders, because the C-shaped trap surrounds the Crusaders, and the Crusaders' only escape is the entrance. This causes the bottleneck-like entrance to be extremely crowded from beginning to end. In that small place,
Thousands of soldiers crowded together to fight, fighting on layers of corpses. The snow on the ground had turned into scarlet mud, which was shocking...
…
The battle lasted for two hours and ended only after dark, and the raging snowstorm also slowed down.
Of the 100,000 Crusaders, less than 20,000 fled with the Djinn God. Of the 20,000 Crusaders, countless Crusaders sacrificed their lives and broke out of the filled-in trap.
There is no doubt that the iron-blooded and decisive Giant Spirit God played a decisive role in the siege. It was he who slaughtered his subordinates without hesitation to stabilize the morale of the army and quickly gathered a group of cavalry with good psychological quality around him.
annihilated...
…
Seeing a group of defeated generals fleeing towards Tongzhou City, Zhao Yuan did not pursue them, but cleaned the battlefield, gathered all the trophies that could be used, took away what could be taken away, and burned what could not be taken away.
There is no waste of armor and weapons, they can all be taken away. Most of what is burned is the food and grass carried by the Crusaders. The fire is soaring into the sky and the black smoke is billowing. In addition to taking away a batch, some heavy equipment and food carried by the Crusaders are all.
Burned to the ground.
No one understands why Zhao Yuan burned the trophies that were finally captured, but people have an almost fanatical trust in Zhao Yuan, and no one will question Zhao Yuan's decision.
After the battlefield was cleaned, the number of people was also counted.
There were more than 50,000 corpses of Crusaders left on the battlefield, and more than 40,000 Crusaders escaped. Of course, this was only counted from the corpses. In fact, the casualties of the Crusaders far exceeded this number, because many Crusaders were washed away.
They fled into the vast wilderness. People like these basically had no choice but to starve to death in these cold days when water turned to ice.
If the crusaders are lucky enough to encounter a village, they may be able to obtain food and clothing through robbery, and they can barely survive. If they are unlucky, it is a miracle that they can survive even a night.
In addition, if the Crusaders were scattered and defeated, it would be fine if they were large in number, but if they were small in number, they would still be blocked by the civilian forces of the Qin Empire. You must know that only after the last battle in Tongzhou City, the Crusaders stationed in some small towns
The Crusaders all died in Tongzhou City. The small towns around Tongzhou City have escaped the control of the Crusaders, and civilian resistance forces are very active.
The number of infantry deaths in the Qin Empire has also been revealed.
Forty thousand people!
Not to mention countless minor and serious injuries, the number of infantrymen killed in the battle alone reached 40,000. Adding in the thousands who froze to death, more than half of the 80,000 infantrymen were lost.
There is no doubt that this is a miserable victory!
However, compared to the number of 100,000 elite crusaders, the 80,000 Qin infantry were able to achieve such impressive results, which is enough to be proud of. After all, the strength of the two sides is too disparate...
…
Zhao Yuan did not mention cleaning the battlefield, but he was stunned after the Giant Spirit God was defeated all the way to Tongzhou City.
In just over two days, the flag of the Qin Empire had been planted on the wall of Tongzhou City.
The originally collapsed city wall has been repaired with ice bricks and is now towering. On top of the city wall, there are many swords and guns, and longing figures. A cold murderous aura fills the air, and densely packed infantry of the Qin Empire are waiting in formation.
"puff……"
The Giant Spirit God fought a bloody battle and was besieged by a group of space hunters. He was already seriously injured. But now that he saw that Tongzhou City had fallen into the hands of the Qin Empire, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, the Giant Spirit God had completely understood that he had fallen into Zhao Yuan's plan.
The Qin cavalry operating in Orange Island was just a bait. Zhao Yuan's real purpose was to lure him back and let him enter the ambush.
The main purpose of letting the Blood Barbarian Bull and the Heaven-defying Monkey harass Tongzhou City is to make the Crusaders abandon Tongzhou City.
The most important thing is that during the battle with the Blood Barbarian Bull and the Sky-defying Monkey, the Giant Spirit God summoned the giant wolf Fenrir. This was the main reason why the Giant Spirit God was defeated in Glacier.
If the Djinn God summoned the giant wolf Fenrir during the battle on the glacier, all the traps would be immediately razed to the ground.
However, there is no if in the world.
It is not easy to summon the giant wolf Fenrir once. Even a person as powerful as the giant spirit god cannot summon the gods continuously in a short period of time. What's more, in the battle with the Sky-defying Monkey and the Bull Demon King, the giant wolf Fenrir
The clone was also seriously injured.
"General, what should we do?!" Seeing the flag of the Qin Empire swaying on the city wall, a senior general showed a look of uncontrollable horror on his face.
In fact, not only the senior generals were panicking, but a group of Crusaders were also panic-stricken, because in the Battle of Glacier, all the supplies carried by the Crusaders were lost, and now, Tongzhou City has fallen, and the Crusaders without supplies,
It is undoubtedly more difficult than reaching the sky to reach Orange Island in the extremely cold weather when dripping water turns to ice.
In addition, people's intuition tells people that the scheming Undefeated God of War of Great Qin will never let them get to Orange Island easily.
It is conceivable that the road back to Orange Island must be full of dangers...
