"I'm not afraid to tell you, although this Zhenshui Pass, although it is located in a key chong, and the waterways are even more accessible, but in fact, this is just a lonely city, we have no reinforcements, no food, ......"

"Isn't there food in Zhenshuiguan?" A superpowered man said with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, there is a lot of grain in Zhenshuiguan, if you save some food, it will not be a problem to eat until next year's autumn harvest, but the question is, after next year's autumn harvest, what will we eat? Now, the Crusader rangers have completely controlled the suburbs, and the peasants can't work, even if they plant crops, it's still a question of whether the Crusaders allow us to harvest, so there will always be a time when the grain in Zhenshui Pass will be eaten up, and once the grain in Zhenshui Pass is eaten, when the time comes, Zhenshui Pass will be self-defeating......"

There was a quiet silence audible from a falling pin.

It was only after Zhou Sen raised this question that people realized the seriousness of the matter.

Zhenshui Pass is surrounded by fertile farmland, but as long as you leave the city, it is the territory of the crusaders, which means that it is impossible to grow crops at all.

Now, more than 90% of the territory of the Han Empire is occupied by the Crusaders, which also means that it is impossible for Zhenshui Pass to wait for foreign aid, as for the emperor of Wuchao City, it is thousands of miles away from here, even if it is killed, it will be a year and a half later, and when the Han soldiers of Wuchao City kill it, the daylily will be cold.

"Now, there is only one way, and that is to take the initiative to attack and expand the living space of Zhenshui Pass!" Zhou Sen said word by word.

"General, we are all rough people, we don't know any art of war, in short, in a word, you let us go east, we will never go west!"

"That's right, the general Tao is amazing, if there is any way, just say it, just leave the matter of killing people and overselling goods to us."

“……”

Everyone was gossiping again, swearing to show their loyalty, and they couldn't wait to dig out their hearts and show them to Zhou Sen.

"I don't know if you've noticed? This huge Zhenshui Pass, located in the key chong, is under the jurisdiction of hundreds of miles away, such a military town, there are only 80,000 defenders, what does this mean? It shows that the crusaders are in short supply, think about it, our Han Empire has a vast territory and a population of hundreds of millions, not to mention millions of crusaders, even if it doubles the crusaders, it will not be able to hold every city. The Crusaders have the advantage of being mobile and aggressive, but they don't have enough men to defend the breached cities, so we have a chance to take advantage of them......"

People's eyes lit up.

The reason Zhou Sen said is very simple, using the skills of the characters and superpowers in the rivers and lakes, using Zhenshui Pass as the radiation center, recovering some surrounding towns, and then, relying on the towns, the scope of the Crusader cavalry's activities is gradually compressed, and the advantages of population and resources are used to encroach on the territory occupied by the Crusaders little by little.

The biggest advantage of Jianghu characters and superpowers is that this is the territory of the Han Empire, with huge population resources, and the Crusaders are one less to kill one, and one less pair to kill a pair, and in the long run, the Crusaders will be annihilated in the art of the sea of people.

At the beginning, when the crusaders entered the Han Empire, they had a million troops, all the way to conquer the city, like a bamboo, but as the territory occupied became more and more extensive, the weakness of the crusaders was exposed, and this time the fall of Bafang City and Zhenshui Pass, the predicament faced by the crusaders was undoubtedly revealed.

If it was at the beginning, at most a few days, the army would have been pressed to Zhenshui Pass, and now, from the fall of Bafang City to now, it has been nearly a month, and the Crusader's army movement has not been completed, which has shown that the Crusader's army movement is not as free as before......

……

The superpowers and heroes were excited by the blueprint outlined by Zhou Sen, and they were all gearing up, eager to fight on the battlefield immediately.

After some discussion, Zhou Sen aimed his first target at the big stone bridge downstream of Zhenshui Pass.

The Big Stone Bridge is not a stone bridge, but a place name.

Dashiqiao is a small town, with a population of less than 50,000, located 60 miles downstream of Zhenshui Pass, according to the information provided by the Zhenshui Pass army, only 2,000 cavalry are stationed at Dashiqiao.

Two thousand cavalry!

It's a lot of no more and no less.

People showed embarrassment on their faces, especially the superpowers, who fell into silence, but a group of Jianghu characters and strong people were ready to move one by one.

Looking at the expressions of the superpowers, Zhou Sen immediately understood.

In the Han Empire, superpowers rarely directly participate in secular wars, and even if they have superpowers to serve the imperial court, they only fight with the opposing generals, and will never slaughter ordinary soldiers with flying sword spells.

In the world of cultivating gods, many superpowers often kill innocents indiscriminately, killing people and overpowering goods, but no matter how evil superpowers are, they will also behave coyly, cover their ears and steal bells, and are unwilling to join the army to slaughter soldiers, some self-proclaimed and decent superpowers, but they dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool, and unscrupulous superpowers like the Nine Heavens Xuannu can be said to be rare, and it is precisely because the Nine Heavens Xuannu does her own thing, so she has become a figure on the list of bandits.

After understanding what happened, Zhou Sen immediately promised to send 5,000 soldiers to fight together, led by the strong and Jianghu figures, and the superpowers only needed peripheral cooperation to disturb the military spirit of the crusaders.

After getting Zhou Sen's promise, the superpowers suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

If you just cooperate on the periphery, you don't need to face ordinary soldiers, and the superpower will naturally not shirk.

Superpowers don't kill soldiers on the battlefield, but it's not that they don't kill people, but the way of killing is different, for example, there is no problem in killing enemy generals, in addition, superpowers kill ordinary soldiers, and the most feared thing is to use powerful weapons such as flying swords and magic weapons, because mortals don't have the slightest ability to resist these weapons in the god cultivation realm, which forms a massacre in a sense, which is likely to cause a catastrophe.

If a superpowered person kills people with physical strength, without superpowers, he will naturally not cause a catastrophe.

Strong people like the Four Heavenly Gods can kill the enemy on the battlefield because the martial arts they practice are all primitive powers possessed by human beings, and the qi of heaven and earth cannot be perceived, so naturally they cannot cause a heavenly tribulation.

Of course, when the strength of the strong reaches a certain level, it will also cause the Heavenly Tribulation, but most of the strong who can cause the Heavenly Tribulation are about to soar, and they usually do not participate in the worldly wars......

……

Zhou Sen selected a group of people.

Two hundred masters.

Among these two hundred people, there are twenty superpowers, sixteen strong people, and the rest are heroes in the rivers and lakes.

It is worth mentioning that it was not these two hundred people who led 5,000 Han soldiers to raid Dashiqiao, after all, they were all reckless heroes and had never led troops to fight.

Zhou Sen arranged for 500 real soldiers to divide 5,000 people into groups of 10 people, and these 500 soldiers were either active soldiers or retired soldiers, all of whom had rich experience in military operations, so that the 5,000 people would not become a rabble.

In order to ensure that this operation was foolproof, Zhou Sen equipped 5,000 men with a large number of crossbows, and the weapons were also configured according to the standard standards of the Han Empire.

The opponent had only two thousand men, but those two thousand men were all cavalry, and the numerical superiority did not mean anything.

The best way to deal with the cavalry is to die, once they escape and make a comeback, it will be a great disaster.

There is no doubt about the horror of the lethality of the cavalry, even if a cavalry team of several hundred people escapes, it can defeat the infantry of 5,000 people, so this operation can only succeed, not fail.

Two hundred masters plus five thousand soldiers armed to the teeth can be said to have an absolute advantage against two thousand light cavalry, after all, five thousand soldiers are equipped with bows and crossbows.

Zhang Laosan, the supreme leader of the raiding force of this army.

When the sun was about to set, Zhou Sen, Fan Nick, and some archers in Zhenshui Pass all climbed the city tower to hunt the Crusader rangers who were moving around, and even sent a small group of archers to take the initiative on horseback.

In order to cause psychological pressure on the crusaders, Yunhai Golden Withering and Tongtian Divine Rat were also sent out.

We must not leak the news.

If there was no Yunhai Golden Wither, Zhou Sen would not be able to completely block the news, after all, the other party's black-winged Kunpeng was still moving around, and with the Yunhai Golden Withering dispatched, those black-winged Kunpeng would not dare to approach Zhenshui Pass......

Night falls.

Under the cover of night, two hundred masters and five thousand soldiers of the Han Empire, under the cover of the golden withering of the sea of clouds and the heavenly god rat, quietly lurked out of the city.

If you hike to the big stone bridge, I am afraid that you will not be able to reach it at dawn tomorrow, and even if you do, you will be exhausted and unable to fight, so Zhou Sen finally chose to take a boat.

In Zhenshui Pass, there are many large ships passing by, Zhang Laosan has already contacted two large ships, in order to hide people's eyes, the place to board the ship is not in the dock, but in an abandoned natural port downstream of the wharf.

When we took a boat from Zhenshui Pass and went down the river to the Great Stone Bridge, it was just the time of dawn, and at that time, it was also the time when the human spirit was relaxed.

Now, the most important thing is to ensure that we can reach the big stone bridge silently, once the target is exposed, it will be a catastrophe.

Although the two cargo ships were large, it was still difficult to carry more than 5,000 heavily armed people, and the people were crowded together like sardines, with their chests against their backs, densely packed......

……

After bidding farewell to Zhang Laosan, Zhou Sen personally went into battle and led the few hundred cavalry to outflank the Crusader rangers.

Zhou Sen's initiative made the rangers excited.

The Crusader Rangers preferred field battles more than siege warfare, and they had always looked forward to the soldiers of the Han Empire going out of the city to fight them.

Immediately, a large number of crusaders gathered from all directions under the city of Zhenshui Pass.

However, what made the Crusader generals vomit blood was that after only a few attacks, the other party retreated behind the high city walls, and did not leave the city even if the city was scolded.

The crusaders naturally didn't know that Zhou Sen didn't have the heart to fight them in the field, he just took a little action to divert the attention of the crusaders and cooperate with Zhang Laosan's army to leave quietly......

……

The world-famous Battle of the Great Stone Bridge began.

In the military history of the Han Empire, the Battle of Dashiqiao can be called a classic battle of infantry ambush cavalry, and it is also a turning point in the battle between the Han Empire and the Crusaders, and some small towns of the Han Empire were inspired. Countless people with lofty ideals and enthusiastic young people threw themselves into the battle against the crusade in full swing.

Zhang Laosan and them, they never thought that they would go down in history because of a small battle.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

At dawn, 200 masters and 5,000 Han soldiers finally arrived at the big stone bridge and swam to the shore by moonlight.

The sea of clouds and the heavenly god rat still firmly control the sky, and when they encounter the black-winged Kunpeng, they will kill them immediately, even the sentries underground.

Tongtian Divine Rat is not a superpower, he is known as the head of the four famous monkeys, and killing people is commonplace for him.

As for the golden withering of Yunhai, he is a carnivore, predatory and killing, and has the support of the heavenly god rats, and he is not merciful and arrogant when he kills people.

No one expected to slaughter an army of thousands from the water, because it was already a Crusader-controlled territory.

After landing, simply wringing out the water on their clothes, the soldiers went into battle, and by this time, two hundred masters had already lurked in the crusader camp in the pre-dawn darkness.

The horn of the charge sounded, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the five thousand infantry who approached the big stone bridge did not rush to the crusader barracks like a tide.

In order to catch the crusaders off guard, the Han soldiers who had taken a break immediately threw themselves into battle.

In the earth-shattering roar, five thousand Han soldiers rushed to the front of the camp, the crossbows in their hands kept shooting overwhelming crossbow arrows, and the crusaders on duty had not yet reacted, they had been shot into hedgehogs.

Zhang Laosan arranged the best crossbowmen to the front, and this round of blows smashed into the crusader barracks like a giant hammer.

At this time, the east had already revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, but the arrow feathers were like overwhelming locusts, which instantly made the fish's belly white.

At this time, there is no waste of crossbow arrows, because, in a war, what is important is morale, and the first round of blows is particularly important.

Under the overwhelming barrage of crossbow arrows, the crusaders on duty had no room for resistance.

The soldiers of the Han Empire were in a state of anger, and at this time, some of the superpowers who were lurking in the barracks began to set fire to the Edgeworth Flight.

Disheveled!

Disheveled!

Disheveled!

Disheveled!

……

The barracks of the big stone bridge are covered with dense feathers like snow.

Although the Crusader barracks were well defended, they still caused huge casualties in the face of the overwhelming array of arrows.

Of course, the first round of shooting only hit the morale of the Crusaders, and did not kill many people, after all, at this time, the Crusaders were sleeping in the barracks, and the fatal ones were those buildings that burned in an instant.

However, the Crusaders were not a rabble of refugees, but well-trained regular troops, who soon came to their senses and began to resist bravely.

In the course of more than a year of high-intensity offensive and defensive warfare in the Han Empire, every crusader has been turned into a killing machine.

The military man's instinct tells them that this is a fight to the death.

Everyone knows that in the face of the enemy's sneak attack, you must keep a calm brain in order to turn defeat into victory.

There are no reservations.

After the first round of archery, organized defenses began to appear in the Crusader barracks, and many Crusaders mounted their horses and began to charge at the infantry of the Han Empire.

Because the crusaders originated from the nomadic people, lack of craftsmen, good at engineering, defense above, is their shortcoming, at this time although the organization of some defensive equipment, but it seems a little disorganized, the main defense is actually to use the advantage of cavalry to charge, break the offensive rhythm of the sneak attack on the enemy, as long as the comrades behind to buy even a little time, the victory of the scale will be like their own tilt.

When Zhang Laosan saw a cavalry rushing out, he knew that now was the time to fight against the water.

In the face of cavalry, they can only not give an inch, and retreat means death, and it is impossible for the two legs of a person to outrun the four legs of a war horse.

Seeing the cavalry in the barracks surging over like ants, Zhang Laosan was anxious.

"Throughout the ages, countless blood will be the horse leather shroud on the battlefield, but it will still be passed down through the ages! Big husband, what's the joy of life? What is there to fear from death? As soldiers of the Han Empire, it is our obligation and duty to defend the country, if we can die vigorously in battle, it is a supreme honor, I hope to use my blood to ignite the passion in the hearts of my brothers, and move forward bravely all my life, never take a step back! ”

After Zhang Laosan, who was originally tall, wore a battle armor, he looked more and more majestic, and his battle robe hunted like a god.

A round of crossbow arrows shot like locusts, and after suppressing the rainbow-like momentum of the crusaders, Zhang Laosan rushed forward first.

"Never take a step back!"

"Never take a step back!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The sound of killing shook the sky, and after several rounds of salvo fire, the crossbow arrows had been exhausted, and at this time, it was time to fight each other in close combat.

Five thousand Han warriors suddenly boiled with blood, unable to help themselves, in the roar of filial piety, suddenly, all the people pulled out the snowy long knife, and held it in the air, under the black background like the ocean, the snowy long knife was like snow, and the sharp knife glowed solemnly and coldly in the cold wind, which made people tremble!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In a surging and blood-boiling shouting and killing, five thousand soldiers, in response to the cavalry that charged over, collided with each other, Zhang Laosan waved the battle, swept out like a hurricane, beside him, was a group of strong and good men, behind the strong and good men, is the five thousand long swords and bright Han infantry.

The elite is exhausted, and the momentum is like a rainbow!

Followed by the last round of dense arrow rain, 5,000 soldiers poured over like a rushing and roaring river.

The bolts vanished, and the crusader cavalry had a hideous smile on their faces, and it was their turn to raise their eyebrows.

From ancient times to the present, cavalry has never taken infantry into account.

The earth is shaking.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

"For the dignity of the big man, for the blood in my heart, this battle will be won! Killing one is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand is a male, and slaughtering nine million is a male in the male! Brother, kill, kill a dark sky, kill a river of blood, kill a peaceful and prosperous world! Kill! ”

Zhang Laosan roared angrily, where the long knife swept, flesh and blood flew sideways, the horse's head broke, and immediately, the tide-like battle formation formed by the iron cavalry was torn a hole, and behind him, five thousand infantry rushed in along his torn hole, and the crack became bigger and bigger.

The soldiers of the Han Empire were infected by the pride of Du Zhang Laosan, and their blood boiled one by one.

A group of strong men and heroes are even more hearty.

The sound of the beating war drums echoes through the canyon, stirring the heart.

In the face of the infantry of the Han Empire, who were not afraid of death, suddenly, the tide of crusader momentum was actually forcefully contained, and the originally invincible crusader cavalry was subjected to the most brutal melee in history, and the human head flew in the sky non-stop, and there were splashes of blood and internal organs everywhere.
