Nest City!

The current Wuchao City is very different from the past, in the direction of facing the Han Empire, it has been pushed out for several miles, and a thick city wall dozens of meters high has been built, like a huge black monster lying outside the Wuchao City, behind the city wall, the tents of the Han Empire are dotted like stars in the sky.

The defensive direction of Wuchao City was originally the Xiongnu steppe, but after the fall of the territory of the Han Empire, the originally safe direction of Wuchao City became the most threatening direction.

In Wuchao City, there are 180,000 soldiers of the Han Empire, and these 180,000 soldiers of the Han Empire are the only remaining elite troops of the millions of troops of the Han Empire.

If it weren't for the city wall pushed out for several miles, it would have been impossible for the small Wuchao City to garrison 180,000 soldiers and thousands of civilian officials, not to mention, countless family members.

The whole Wuchao City is filled with a strong atmosphere of war, the heavily armed army keeps shuttling in the city, the armor is bright, the gold and iron are resonant, from time to time there are carriages full of materials leading to the city wall, the killing atmosphere is permeated in the air, and the atmosphere is extremely depressing......

……

General Wu Yuan's injuries still did not improve, sitting on the chair, without his previous anger and self-authority, his face was pale, as if he would fall down at any time.

The little emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, and his face was uneasy.

The only living golden gourd god of the four heavenly gods was sitting with a solemn face.

Lu Axe also had a serious face.

Inside the hall, there was a suffocating silence.

Now, Wuchao City has almost reached the point of exhaustion, with 180,000 soldiers, plus tens of thousands of civilian officials and family members, as well as the original residents of Wuchao City, the total population has reached 280,000.

280,000 people, the daily consumption of materials is unimaginable, not to mention, there are still some war horses and livestock to eat beans.

All the animals that can be slaughtered in Wuchao City have been slaughtered, wild cats and wild dogs that can be seen casually are rare, and some chickens and ducks are even extinct.

Now, the city of Wuchao is not facing the attack of the crusaders, but how to fill the stomach, the food of the soldiers has changed from three meals to two, and some soldiers on duty at night have also canceled supper, and morale is becoming more and more sluggish.

If the situation continues to worsen, Wuchao City will be self-defeating.

"General Lu, I heard that someone slaughtered a war horse?" General Wu Yuan coughed violently.

"Yes."

"Why?" General Wu Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect Lu Axe to admit it so readily, you know, slaughtering a war horse is a big crime, and the general must also be jointly and severally responsible.

"They're hungry!" Lu Axe was as taciturn as ever, and his answers were extremely concise.

"Hungry to kill a war horse?" General Wu Yuan's face showed a hint of anger.

Lu Axe didn't argue out loud, and his face was silent.

"Well, this matter will not be investigated, and it will not appear again in the future." General Wu Yuan sighed and said, "Now that the situation is getting worse and worse, do you have any suggestions?" ”

“……”

The generals in the hall looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't make a sound.

"Fight!" Lu axe urn sound urn airway.

"General Lu, I said it, it's not okay to go to war." General Wu Yuan's face was displeased.

"General, the last general has checked, the food in Wuchao City can last for three months at most, and it also needs to be thrifty, now, the supply of some officials' families can only last and will not starve to death, there are many complaints, many civilian officials are also fluctuating, some people have to take the risk of sending their own families to hunt in the dark forest, and many families are gone, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will ......"

"I know."

General Wu Yuan stopped Lu Axe and continued.

Now, General Wu Yuan is in a dilemma.

Although Wuchao City is high and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, however, food cannot be guaranteed, and sooner or later there will be leaks, but the problem is that taking the initiative to attack is not a way, after all, protecting the emperor is the main thing now, once you take the initiative to attack, the military risk is huge.

The most important thing is that the crusaders are not fighting with the army of the Han Empire at all now, they just sent a large number of rangers to surround Wuchao City, and the infantry of Wuchao City has no place for bravery, as for the pitiful cavalry and heavy cavalry, the impact on the entire battle situation can be said to be minimal, and sending them out is no different from sending them to death.

Among all the generals, Lu Axe is the representative of the main battle faction.

"General......" Lu Axe seemed to want to say.

"Is there any news from General Zhou?" General Wu Yuan interrupted Lu Axe's words.

"No, Zhenshui Pass is very safe at the moment, and the crusaders are only adopting a roundabout tactic of dragging, and there is no large-scale military mobilization." A general in charge of intelligence.

"What about those towns?" General Wu Yuan's face showed a hint of hope.

"There are more and more rebel armies in the Han Empire, and many squires support the rebel army, but the scale is very small, mainly in some towns and villages, once the number reaches a certain number, it will be pursued and encircled by the cavalry of the crusaders, and it is difficult to become a climate."

"Oh......"

General Wu Yuan sighed, and the generals around him all looked disappointed.

When the news of Zhenshui Pass in Bafang City was transmitted, the entire Wuchao City was boiling, and people almost saw the dawn of victory, but things did not develop as they expected, sparks and did not burn the plains.

The cavalry of the Crusaders still occupied an absolute advantage, dividing the vast territory of the Han Empire into countless small pieces, so that some people with lofty ideals in the Han Empire could not join forces and form a huge resistance force.

"Is there no way for General Zhou!" General Wu Yuan's face showed a hint of fatigue.

Inside the hall, there was a long silence.

Originally, all the people pinned their hopes on Zhou Sen, but for three months, Zhou Sen was still cowering in Zhenshui Pass, except for the resistance of some small towns in full swing, but there was no reaction in big cities.

Obviously, Zhenshuiguan also encountered the same predicament as Wuchao City.

If this situation continues, Zhenshui Pass will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Crusaders.

"He has!" Lu Axe stood up proudly.

"There is ......," General Wu Yuan showed a wry smile on his face.

"If I were General Zhou, I would take the initiative to attack, echo with Wuchao City, and I would never sit still!" Lu axe sounded like a bell, and said loudly.

"However, he is still in Zhenshuiguan."

"Perhaps, he is waiting for Wuchao City to take action, and then form a flanking attack to recover the Dahan River and Mountain in one fell swoop!"

"Axe, I know you're in a hurry, but now if we take the initiative to attack, it's likely that we'll fall for the tricks of the crusaders, and, aside from the cavalry of the crusaders, they also have a lot of superpowers, and we're all inferior in both the army and the generals who lead the troops, otherwise, the four gods won't go to the third ......"

General Wu Yuan's face was gloomy, he had always shown a powerful image, his eyes were filled with tears, you know, the four gods are his protégés.

"General, we still have many high-level powerhouses who are on par with the four great gods!"

Lu Axe's gaze fell on the back of the little emperor, behind the little emperor, surrounded by dozens of older strong men, they were the dozens of strong men brought out by Zhou Sen from Huangpu, only after the war was in chaos, these people were all sent by General Wu Yuan to the little emperor's side, responsible for the safety of the little emperor.

"Don't mention this matter!" General Wu Yuan snorted coldly.

"General, General Lu is right...... the little emperor opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, I promised the emperor back then, I must protect the emperor's safety, although the country is important, but it cannot be compared with the emperor's safety, once the emperor has three long and two short, this big Han river and mountain ......"

Inside the hall, there was another long silence.

People understand what General Wu Yuan meant, if the emperor dies, the Han Empire will have no orthodoxy, and when the time comes, the army and people of the Han Empire, fighting for some reason, are likely to cause new chaos.

For a regime, orthodoxy and inheritance are more important than a war, as long as the little emperor does not die, the Han Empire can rise again at any time, once the little emperor dies, there is no cohesion, and all resistance will become a plate of scattered sand.

For the Han Empire, as long as the little emperor is alive, he can be worthy of thousands of troops......

……

Inside the hall, there was a long silence, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.

At present, Wuchao City seems to be neither fighting nor defending.

Whether it is a civilian official or a military general, they are all in a state of confusion, and General Wu Yuan is doing his best to protect the safety of the little emperor, and he can't think of a good way.

In fact, General Wu Yuan was already ready, and once Wuchao City was not protected, he would immediately take the little emperor away in order to make a comeback.

"It's better for us to sue for peace with the crusaders, and we can be their vassal states and pay tribute every year......," the general of the Lord and the peace said cautiously.

"Fart...... cough cough ...... "General Wu Yuan coughed violently, and actually coughed up a large ball of black blood, which was shocking.

"If anyone dares to mention suing for peace again in the future, don't blame me Guo for being ruthless!" Lu Axe snorted coldly, and his sharp gaze fell on the general, who shrank his neck in fright, avoiding Lu Axe's gaze, and never dared to speak out again.

During this time, civilian officials and generals had made peace requests more than once, and almost every day, there were people who offered to negotiate with the Crusaders.

From this phenomenon, it can be seen that Wuchao City is already floating in people's hearts.

This meeting broke up unhappily, and in the end, no conclusion was reached.

The injured General Wu Yuan also seems to have lost his previous adventurous spirit and heroism, and completely put the safety of the emperor first. A large number of masters were transferred to the side of the little emperor.

I have to say that General Wu Yuan is still very far-sighted, he knows the status of the little emperor very well, as long as the little emperor lives, the crusaders will be like a fish in the throat, and it will be difficult to sleep......

On the streets of Wuchao City, there is a clergy of a church who is giving porridge.

Looking at the clergy wearing black robes and wearing a cross around their necks, Lu Axe was angry, but he was helpless, because the clergy of those churches did not violate the law and discipline, and even they never inquired about the military intelligence of the Han Empire......

Lu Axe didn't understand religion, however, he knew that it was not good, but he couldn't find a better solution, after all, these church people played a certain role in the stability of Wuchao City.

And just above the city tower, General Wu Yuan was also watching this scene, with a melancholy expression.

The religious infiltration of the Crusaders was even more influential for their armies.

In just one year, millions of troops of the Han Empire were wiped out, and the main reason was that the people did not resist.

It wasn't until the Crusaders conquered the territory of the Han Empire that General Wu Yuan discovered that the religious beliefs of the Crusaders had long penetrated into every corner of the Han Empire, and some people at the bottom of the Han Empire basically came into contact with this mysterious religious organization......

……

Just when General Wuyuan was in a hurry, Zhou Sen led 50,000 cavalry, day and night, and arrived at the edge of the dark forest along the desert.

The day and night are in order to hide people's eyes, you know, the Crusader Black-winged Kunpeng is very terrifying in collecting intelligence.

No one is more familiar with the Dark Forest than Zhou Sen, who fought a group of Red Bulls for more than a month.

At the beginning, when the Han Empire was at war with the Xiongnu, Shan Yu once opened a secret passage and secretly transported thousands of cavalry, causing huge losses to Wuchao City.

After Zhou Sen and the Xiongnu reached an agreement and formed an alliance, he immediately thought of this secret passage.

For Zhou Sen, there is no need for him to take this bumpy secret passage at all, but in order to surprise and fight the living force of the crusaders, this secret passage is particularly important.

It was not easy to kill the living forces of the Crusaders, because the Crusaders were basically cavalry, and the infantry was extremely mobile, and if something happened, they would immediately scatter and flee, and then they could quickly gather together as an army.

The best way to deal a fatal blow to the crusaders outside the city is to outflank and divide them from the periphery, and then join forces with the outside of the city......

……

50,000 cavalry, led by Zhou Sen and Shan Yu, marched through the dark forest.

For several years, the secret passage had been covered by overgrown weeds, and Zhou Sen could only judge the direction of the secret passage by relying on his memory and the bones along the way.

Fortunately, Zhou Sen's memory is extraordinary, and although this secret passage is covered by weeds, some bones and weapons along the way still leave a lot of clues, as long as you are careful, it is not too difficult to find out.

From beginning to end, Zhou Sen walked in the front with his sharp long knife with a broken head and a thick back, taking the lead all the way, overcoming thorns and thorns, and forcibly carving out a path in the dark forest.

Looking at the back with long hair flying, Shan Yu's face changed from disbelief at the beginning to admiration.

From the beginning of entering the Dark Forest, Zhou Sen did not stop all the way, his arms were like machines, constantly cutting through thorns and thorns, and his thick body seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

Not only Shan Yu, but the group of generals behind him, the eyes that looked at Zhou Sen also turned into awe.

In the Xiongnu, many people only heard of Zhou Sen's reputation, and not many people saw Zhou Sen with their own eyes, but this time, almost every soldier of the Xiongnu saw Zhou Sen and his strength.

Zhou Sen did not disappoint the Huns, and his abundant physical strength convinced the Huns.

The Dark Forest is still eerie.

In the face of such a huge human army, most of the demon beasts fled, and of course, there are also demon beasts that are not afraid of humans - Red Bull.

In an open woodland, an army of 50,000 was blocked by hundreds of red bulls.

Red Bull was lying asleep in the woods, and the panicked soldiers held their breath and did not dare to make the slightest sound.

The Xiongnu steppe and the dark forest border, many Huns will also go to the dark forest to hunt, or experience, no one does not know the power of the red bull.

Zhou Sen, who was standing in front, was also petrified, he never dreamed that he would encounter such a large herd of Red Bull.

Although Zhou Sen is not afraid of Red Bull, but 50,000 Hun cavalry are afraid, no matter how powerful Zhou Sen is, it is impossible to drive away these hundreds of Red Bulls alone, once these Red Bulls launch a madness, it will definitely be a disaster, and the 50,000 cavalry will be scattered by Red Bull before they have time to put into battle.

A red bull weighed several tons, and if it did rush into the cavalry, the consequences would be unimaginable.

There is no doubt that the Red Bull herd is the king of the Dark Forest, and in the face of such a huge herd, no matter how powerful the demon beast of the Dark Forest is, it will not be provoked.

With such a large herd of cattle, so strong that there are no natural predators, and there is not even a need for sentry sentry, the red bulls are lying in the woods, snoring and sleeping......

……

Make a detour!

After a few breaths, Zhou Sen decided to take a detour to avoid the huge Red Bull herd.

Zhou Sen made a gesture to let Shan Yu lead the cavalry to follow behind him, and made a silent movement.

In fact, at this time, the Hun cavalry had a chill on their backs, like walking on thin ice, even if Zhou Sen didn't make gestures, no one dared to make a sound to stimulate the sleeping Red Bull.

It can be imagined that 50,000 cavalry led the trembling war horses to walk slowly little by little, what a comical scene.

Thousands of eyes stared at the layers of Red Bull herd, so quiet that they could hear a pin.

Fortunately, the horses are all muzzled, and if a horse neighs out of fear, then the matter is a big deal......

……

Little by little, the cavalry marched forward.

Suddenly, all the people's bodies froze, and their faces were full of fear.

A red bull lying on the ground like a hill raised its head, and a pair of blood-red eyes arrogantly glanced at the silent Hun cavalry in the woods.

One, two, three...... Countless red bulls raised their stout necks.

It's over, it's over!

Watching the Red Bull stand up from the ground, Shan Yu looked desperate, he thought about countless ways to die, but he never thought about dying under the sharp horns of the Red Bull.

Just when the soldiers were desperate, Zhou Sen carried a long knife with a severed head and a thick back, and strode towards the red bull, the gray armor was like an ancient god of war.

Get out!

Zhou Sen gritted his teeth, murderous, and pressed towards the herd step by step.

Crazy battle intent boiled in the air like flames.

Thousands of eyes were staring at the long-haired back......

Just when the eyes of thousands of cavalrymen fell on Zhou Sen's long-haired back, at the same time, the eyes of hundreds of red bulls also fell on Zhou Sen.

The boiling battle spirit seemed to plunge the entire Dark Forest into a dead silence.

Suddenly, the herd moved.

Thundered......

Hundreds of red bulls stepped towards Zhou Sen, and the blood-red fur was like a turbulent blood-colored ocean, dyeing the entire forest space into fiery red, and the visual impact was extremely shocking.

Not only is the visual impact extremely shocking, but the earth is also shaking.

A red bull weighs several tons, and hundreds of red bulls flock to Zhou Sen like a tide, and its wild momentum can be imagined.

The cavalrymen drew their sabers and prepared for battle.

Every soldier knows that Red Bull has a layer of superpowers and invulnerability, but the soldiers don't want to sit still.

The atmosphere is extremely tragic.

However, the next scene made all 50,000 cavalry petrified.

The red bull, which was like a blood-red hill, seemed to be a king looking down on the world, and walked in front of Zhou Sen first, stopped a few feet away from Zhou Sen, and then, with a roar in the sky, four hooves of joy, trotted all the way to Zhou Sen, rubbed his neck on Zhou Sen's dragon armor, and was extremely affectionate......

What's even more weird is that the hundreds of red bulls also crowded around Zhou Sen, scrambling to crowd around Zhou Sen, trying to get close to Zhou Sen.

It's a mess!

People looked at Zhou Sen with a sluggish face and gently stroked the majestic bull, the bull was already snuggling up to Zhou Sen with an affectionate face at this time, the huge body kept squeezing Zhou Sen, and it was ridiculous to squeeze the huge body weighing several tons into Zhou Sen's arms.

Is this the legendary terrible Red Bull?

Zhou Sen was surrounded by hundreds of red bulls, the corners of his mouth showed an extremely excited color, even he didn't expect that he would actually meet the red bull herd here that had been fighting in the dark forest for several months, this group of red bulls, it can be said that they were born and died with him, passed through the Death Canyon together, and reached Longtan.

The scene in front of him was really shocking, breaking through the limits of the cavalry's imagination.

The 50,000 Hun army, in their eyes, was full of endless awe.

He is worthy of being a well-known figure on the bandit list, and even the most terrifying Red Bull herd in the Dark Forest has to bow down when it encounters him.

No one knew that Zhou Sen and this group of Red Bulls had been entangled for countless days and nights, but Red Bull was killed by Zhou Sen's strong force and fled, and finally became friends who didn't know each other.

"I'm going to fight, are you interested in joining?" Zhou Sen patted the bull's huge head and asked.

The cow actually nodded again and again.

"Okay, after victory, I will take you to break through the prohibition of this dark forest and fly away!" Zhou Sen was immediately overjoyed, if these hundreds of red bulls joined, there would be almost no suspense about the outcome of the war.

Hearing Zhou Sen say that he wanted to help them lift the ban on the Dark Forest, the cattle suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, and the sound was full of incomparable pleasure.

Go!

An army of 50,000 Huns followed behind hundreds of red bulls and marched mightily.

With Red Bull, Zhou Sen has also become relaxed, because hundreds of Red Bulls are opening the way in front, and any weeds and thorns are all razed to the ground.

The worship of Zhou Sen by the 50,000 Hun cavalry has reached an unprecedented level, and every pair of eyes is full of endless fanaticism.

Not only did the Hun cavalry admire Zhou Sen, but even King Shan Yu, between his expressions, he also had more awe for Zhou Sen.

There is no doubt that Zhou Sen is a real powerhouse, a strong man who can make the Red Bull herd allegiance.

Because of the Red Bull opening the way, the speed has accelerated a lot, and the Hun cavalry, who were originally walking on thin ice, also began to urge the war horses, and the surrounding mythical beasts and demon beasts all fled in despair when they encountered such a huge Red Bull herd......

……

50,000 cavalry silently crossed the dark forest.

After passing through the Dark Forest, he couldn't help but be surprised when he counted the number of people, because it was a miracle that none of the 50,000 cavalry had been lost.

Zhou Sen is a legendary figure who created miracles.

In the history of the Xiongnu, there were many experiences of crossing the dark forest, and each time they crossed the dark forest, they had to pay an extremely heavy price, so if it was not a very important war, or if they were well prepared, they usually did not choose this dangerous path.

The smooth journey through the dark forest greatly boosted the morale of the 50,000 Hun cavalry.

Of course, what really boosted the morale of the 50,000 Hun cavalry were hundreds of terrifying red bulls, and people have already seen that these red bulls have joined their camp.

With the help of Red Bull, this war does not need to ask to know the result.

Now, there is a problem in front of Zhou Sen.

Because of the ban on the Dark Forest, Red Bull cannot leave the Dark Forest, and the maximum range of activity is only in the edge of the Dark Forest.

How to take advantage of Red Bull's advantages has become a headache for Zhou Sen.

After reaching the edge of the dark forest, the 50,000-strong cavalry army camped to rest and regain its strength, and by the way, it was necessary to think of a way.

When it was determined that hundreds of Red Bulls would participate in the battle, the Hun cavalry was surging, and people seemed to see the Red Bulls rushing into the crusader army, destroying all the way, and the momentum was like a boiling scene.

Not to mention hundreds of Red Bulls participating in the war, even one Red Bull participating in the war can cause huge casualties to the enemy, and even collapse an army, after all, Red Bulls are invulnerable, they are equivalent to a mobile fortress in war.

If you want to describe the strength of Red Bull, the best way to describe it is a tank.

There is no doubt that Red Bull's combat effectiveness is like a steel tank on the earth.

One can imagine how horrific the disastrous consequences of a tank rushing into the battle array of the Cold Weapon Age are.

After some deliberation, everyone soon came to a conclusion - seduction.

For Red Bull to be able to exert its formidable formidability, it is necessary to lure the Crusaders to the edge of the Dark Forest.

Originally, Zhou Sen's plan was to use 50,000 Hun cavalry to surprise and catch the crusaders by surprise, but now, with the addition of the Red Bull herd, the plan has to be revised from the beginning.

Plans can never catch up with change.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the plan needs to be constantly revised, when Zhou Sen led a group of elite students into the Xiongnu steppe, it was also because the situation was constantly changing.

Today, Zhou Sen faces the same problem.

At this time, Zhou Sen knew very well that any one of his decisions could lead to a different trajectory of the war between the Han Empire and the Crusaders.

To lure the Crusaders meant exposing the target.

There is no doubt that this is a plan full of risks, and if the crusade is not fooled, then Zhou Sen's original surprise plan will also fall short.

Judging from the current environment, it would be easy for Zhou Sen to win a battle, after all, the Crusaders would not have thought that an elite cavalry of 50,000 people would suddenly be killed in the reckless Dark Forest.

The advantage of the Hun cavalry was to be taken by surprise.

If you lure the Crusaders to the Dark Forest, you will give up your advantages and expose your power.

However, Zhou Sen still prefers to use Red Bull to fight, after all, the battlefield is not just about winning or losing a battle, morale is more important.

If Red Bull were to enter the war and defeat the Crusaders, it would put a lot of psychological pressure on the Crusaders and make them cringe.

On the contrary, because of Red Bull's participation in the war, the Han soldiers in Wuchao City are bound to be greatly motivated.

After much deliberation, Zhou Sen and Shan Yu decided to use Red Bull's terrifying ability to charge into battle to strike a blow at the invincible arrogance of the Crusaders.

During the discussion, Zhou Sen and Shan Yu actually had the same feelings of pity and sympathy as the heroes, and the relationship between the two was one step closer.

And Shan Yu found that Zhou Sen was not as arrogant and lofty as he imagined, but he respected him very much, and asked him for advice in many military aspects, and he was very sincere in his words, which made Shan Yu very useful......

The Continent of Gods and Demons, two great characters, collaborated for the first time.
