Under the night, the Jiepai Pass is low and dilapidated, like a wild beast lurking on the vast plains.
Standing on the city wall, you will have the heroic spirit of lording over the world and looking down on the common people.
Walking at the base of the city wall, you will have the opposite feeling, a feeling of being small and humble.
Under the turret of the city wall of Jiepai Xiongguan, there is a huge excavated stone. The huge stone weighs at least several thousand kilograms. Where the huge stone originally covered is the exquisite octagonal pattern, which is the eye of the eight-star formation.
location.
Around this formation, Zhao Yuan arranged a large number of soldiers to guard it. There were really three steps and one sentry, five troops and one post. The security was extremely tight.
…
The sun rises.
When the fiery red sunlight shone on the city wall of Jiepai Xiongguan, a strange scene appeared.
The top-grade crystals placed in the eight organs of the Eight-Star Array refracted red light, and the light reflected onto the huge bluestone slab. The bluestone slab emitted light. Then, the light seemed to be spiritual and rotated around the city wall. Eight rays
The light rays shot out in eight directions and converged over Jiepai Xiongguan, forming a huge three-dimensional red eight-pointed star in the sky.
The eight-pointed star is constantly rotating under the sky, like a huge gear. The spectacle is filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
This wonderful scene lasted for less than a stick of incense, when the rotating eight-pointed star disappeared, and the surging mist in the sky also disappeared, as if the dreamlike scenery had never appeared.
Everything returned to normal, but the soldiers vaguely felt that the ancient city wall seemed to suddenly become full of vitality. This was a very strange feeling, because the city wall that had just looked dilapidated and old suddenly suddenly became full of vitality.
It was filled with new vitality. It was thick, steep and dignified, which was daunting.
Everything Zhao Yuan did was just repeating everything he did back then.
The secret of the Eight Star Formation has been deeply ingrained into his soul.
For half a month, the entire Jiepai was quiet, and the Crusaders in the inland areas seemed to have forgotten this place.
Zhao Yuan did not take military action because the army he currently had was not enough to take a powerful military blow against the Crusaders.
Zhao Yuan's purpose is not to attack all the way to the hinterland of the Great Qin Empire and join up with Guo Futou and the others. In fact, with Zhao Yuan's current strength, it is difficult to even leave Jiepai Xiongguan, let alone the Zhenshuiguan area.
Self-preservation.
Zhao Yuan's real purpose is to guard Jiepai Xiongguan.
As long as he defended the Jiepai Pass, it would be equivalent to cutting off the Crusaders' escape routes and supplies, and closing the door. He didn't even need to take the initiative to attack, and the Crusaders would come looking for him.
The silence at this time is a precursor to a thunderstorm.
Now, Zhao Yuan has cut off the Crusaders' retreat, and the Crusaders have also cut off all the passages between Jiepai Xiongguan and the outside.
In other words, the Crusaders blocked the news so that the Qin soldiers in the Zhenshuiguan area of Orange Island could not know that Zhao Yuan, who was thousands of miles away, had occupied the Er Empire and Jiepai Xiong Pass.
No one knows how long this information blockade can last, but Zhao Yuan is certain that the Crusaders should be dispatching troops to deal with him.
Zhao Yuan also needs a little time. These fifteen days are not only the time for the Crusaders to mobilize their troops, but also the time for the Russian army to come in a steady stream.
On the fifteenth day, the total number of Er's army had exceeded one hundred thousand. With the surrender of Tianzun Grand Canyon and Jiepai Xiongguan, the number of troops at Zhao Yuan's disposal had reached 120,000, not including some
Civilian armed organizations.
Now, what makes Zhao Yuan depressed is that although he has 100,000 troops, he has no generals worthy of his use.
The only person who helped Zhao Yuan was Lan Cai'er.
During these fifteen days, Lan Cai'er continued her job and trained a large number of sharp archers to deal with the black-winged Kunpeng in the sky.
Throughout the war history of Zhanyun Continent, the Lan Cai'er family has played a vital role. From the time when the Cinu fought against the Great Qin Empire, then from the Great Qin Empire against the Crusaders, to the current Orr army against the Crusaders,
Lan Cai'er made the family's glory shine on the entire Zhanyun Continent.
In the military world, although Lan Cai'er is not directly in charge of the military, no one can despise Lan Cai'er. Although Zhao Yuan is involved, it is mostly due to Lan Cai'er's own efforts.
Many outstanding generals in the Great Qin Empire have received guidance from the Lan Cai'er family. Members of the Lan Cai'er family are active in every military camp in the Great Qin Empire, and they can be said to be full of talents all over the world.
The most powerful thing about Lan Cai'er's archery skills is that he can train an expert archer into a master who can shoot black-winged Kunpeng in a very short time.
No army lacks sharp archers, which means that Lan Cai'er can form a powerful army of sharp archers as quickly as possible anywhere.
When Lan Caier was captured, it was because of the importance of her position that she was escorted thousands of miles away to the Er Empire, the rear area of the Crusaders. In addition to threatening Zhao Yuan, the main reason was to make Lan Caier
Crusader Efficacy.
In fact, the reason Shanyu was able to independently support Guo Axe's rescue at that time was because the senior Crusaders general wanted to capture Lan Cai'er alive. This shows how high Lan Cai'er's status is...
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building.
The Er army stationed at Jiepai Xiongguan and Tianzun Grand Canyon all knew that the current peace and tranquility was the prelude to a storm.
Zhao Yuan's guess was correct.
The Russian army had the right idea.
When they learned that Zhao Yuan had occupied Xiongguan, the boundary of the Er Empire, the Crusaders were panicked. Even Prince Philip, who was unfazed by favor and humiliation, was furious.
Any Crusader knows the importance of the Russian Empire.
If the Er Empire were lost, the Crusaders of the Qin Empire would be cut off from supplies and retreat.
If you want to regain the territory of the Er Empire, you must defeat the undefeated God of War Zhao Yuan who is entrenched in Tianzun Grand Canyon and Jiepai Xiongguan.
"We must regain the territory of the Russian Empire!" Prince Philip, furious, punched the table hard.
Dozens of generals remained silent.
Although few of the generals present had ever dealt with Zhao Yuan, there was no one who was not familiar with what Zhao Yuan had done.
General Bach.
Rom, the disciple of the God of Death.
Hercules Samson.
…
Countless Crusader generals died at the hands of Zhao Yuan. General Gore was killed by Zhao Yuan in Blackwater City and his armor was discarded. A hundred thousand troops led by the giant spirit god were killed on the ice field and their blood flowed like rivers.
, mountains of corpses piled up.
It was precisely because of Zhao Yuan that the Great Qin Empire drove the Crusaders from Blackwater City to the Orange Island area of Zhenshuiguan. It was also because of Zhao Yuan that the Giant Spirit God lost the strategic location of Orange Island.
Today, Zhao Yuan once again made a surprise attack, captured the Er Empire in one fell swoop, took control of the Er military port, and went all the way east, crossing the desolate and arid Er Desert, seizing the naturally dangerous place of Tianzun Grand Canyon, and entrenched himself in the border
Paixiongguan.
No one dared to ask for a fight.
In the eyes of a group of Crusader generals, fighting Zhao Yuan was full of unknown variables, and the long-haired young man was always able to use all resources to win and achieve the final victory.
There are many masters under Philip who are not afraid of Zhao Yuan and are even sure to defeat Zhao Yuan. However, in the military, no one dares to pat his chest and guarantee victory.
Zhao Yuan is a legendary figure, and everything he does is unexpected.
Convincing the Ci Nu people to be loyal to the Qin Empire was simply impossible in the eyes of the Crusaders at the time, because, according to the investigation, the Ci Nu people had a blood feud with the Qin Empire. Let alone being loyal to the Qin Empire, it was enough without adding insult to injury.
He was so loyal, but Zhao Yuan just convinced his former enemies to fight side by side with the Qin soldiers.
The joining of the Cinu people not only gave the Great Qin army a vast strategic depth, but also provided the Great Qin army with a steady stream of troops and a huge amount of supplies. Almost all the war horses of the Great Qin Empire were provided by the Cinu people.
, even the sharp archers of the Great Qin Empire were trained by assassins.
Now, the tough, ferocious, and death-defying Thorns have become a nightmare for the Crusaders, because their riding and archery skills are no less than those of the Crusaders, or even better.
Zhao Yuan single-handedly instigated a rebellion against the Russians, which far exceeded the expectations of the Crusaders.
In the eyes of the Crusaders, the Qin people caused the Russians to perish. This hatred was deep. However, Zhao Yuan made a miraculous reversal and allowed the Russians to work for him...
