，！

This Tongzhou City, but it was hard work, and tens of thousands of hot-blooded men died before it was finally attacked, which is to give up, no one can understand it.

People with a little military common sense know that the capture of a city can be as short as a few days, as long as months, or even years, and that a flat hinterland like the Han Empire, a city, is an impregnable fortress, and as long as you occupy this city, you can control a radius of 100 miles.

The military defense role of the city in the era of cold weapons is very significant, like Zhenshui Pass, although it fell into the hands of Zhou Sen, the crusaders did not dare to easily send troops to attack without full certainty, because attacking a strong city not only requires several times the military strength of the defender, but also takes into account all aspects of the risk after defeat.

Now, Tongzhou has fallen into the hands of the Han army, which makes the people rejoice, and there is really no reason to give up, not to mention, Tongzhou and Zhenshui Pass are only one hundred and fifty miles apart, echoing each other from afar, which can form a psychological deterrent to the crusaders, so that the other party does not dare to move.

However, although everyone was shocked, no one objected to Zhou Sen's words.

In the Han Army, Zhou Sen has absolute prestige.

From the moment Tongzhou City was breached, the worship of Zhou Sen by the Han army and civilians had reached the point of fanaticism.

No one will oppose Zhou Sen's decision on how to take military action, and now, what Zhou Sen needs to do is to convince everyone.

In fact, there was no need for Zhou Sen to discuss, but Zhou Sen's goal was to establish a constitutional monarchy, which was itself the prototype of a system.

Zhou Sen hopes that the constitutional monarchy can start with him, and even if he has absolute decision-making power, he still hopes to create an atmosphere of free speech.

After Zhou Sen listened to the opinions of all parties, he began to express his views.

"Look at this map!" Zhou Sen got up and walked to the side of the huge map, "This is Tongzhou City, with Tongzhou City as the center, within a diameter of four hundred miles, there are more than 30 large and small towns, among them, there are three large cities, we don't know how many crusaders are stationed in these cities, but it is certain that in these cities, the crusaders stationed in Orange Island alone will far surpass the Han army in Tongzhou City......

"General, it's freezing this day, will the Crusaders travel a long way to attack Tongzhou City?" A senior officer of the Han Dynasty said.

"If we were able to travel long distances to storm the city of Tongzhou in this bad weather, why can't the Crusaders, they still have horses. Remember, never underestimate the willpower of your enemies! ”

"Yes, General." There was a look of shame on the senior officer's face.

"If Tongzhou City is intact, then, we have no problem holding on to Tongzhou City, the problem is that the current Tongzhou City has been destroyed by Red Bull for a large section of the city wall, and now the weather is frozen, the stones and bricks are frozen, and it is impossible to repair the damaged city wall in a short time, which means that the city wall of Tongzhou City has lost its defensive role, so once the crusader cavalry arrives at Tongzhou City......"

Zhou Sen paused, his deep gaze patrolling everyone's faces.

Inexplicably, everyone fought a cold war.

If the Crusader cavalry really kills them, tens of thousands of Han soldiers are afraid that there will be more than one bad luck.

"General, we still have Red Bull to help!" Zhang Laosan reminded.

"Yes, we also have the Red Bull with terrifying combat value, they are invincible and invincible, but don't forget, Red Bull will not help humans to fight on the city wall, their biggest role is to conquer the strong fortress and open the way for the Han soldiers to overcome obstacles. Think about it, if thousands of Crusader Rangers take turns harassing around Tongzhou City, will Red Bull be useful? ”

“……”

There was silence.

Indeed, as Zhou Sen said, the horror of Red Bull lies in its powerful ability to destroy, their destructive power is fierce, but the number is too small, once dispersed, it will lose its effect, and they are not as agile as the Crusader Rangers, if they chase the Crusader Rangers in the wasteland, most of them will return in vain.

This time the capture of Tongzhou City, Red Bull can play a role, the most important thing is that the Crusaders are on the defensive, and the passive defense allows the Crusader cavalry to gather a large number of together, which makes the Red Bull's charge play to the extreme, if it is really a long front, Red Bull will become dispensable, at most, that is, to stimulate the morale of the Han soldiers, inspiring, and the actual effect can be ignored.

Of course, there is another reason why Zhou Sen did not tell everyone.

Red Bull doesn't like winter, moreover, a long time of running consumes a lot of physical strength of Red Bull, so that Red Bull's food has also greatly increased, Tongzhou City, there is simply not enough food for more than 500 Red Bulls to consume for a long time, they still have to stay in the Shentai world most of the time, it is impossible to assist the Han soldiers to fight for a long time.

When all the problems were put on the table, people found that Tongzhou City was a city that could not be defended at all.

Giving up seems to be the only option.

Now, everyone has no objection to giving up Tongzhou City, but is concerned about where to go after giving up Tongzhou City.

"Orange Island!" Zhou Sen said word by word.

"Ah......h

"Orange Island!"

“……”

……

People had different expressions, some were shocked, some were sluggish, and some were incredible.

Orange Island is Zhenshui Pass, not Tongzhou City, it, but a giant city, is the largest city in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, in the history of the Han Empire, Orange Island was once the capital, its scale can be imagined.

In addition to the fact that Orange Island is a super city comparable to the imperial capital, the most important thing is that if you attack Orange Island, it is equivalent to going against the direction of Wuchao City.

Originally, everyone thought that Zhou Sen would wave his army to attack in the direction of Wuchao City, until he joined forces with the army of Wuchao City, and then waved his army straight down to recover the Dahan River and Mountain.

Judging from Zhou Sen's current military operations, he never thought of joining forces with Wuchao City, but opened up a new battlefield to contain the crusaders in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty for the army of Wuchao City.

"We only have tens of thousands of people now, even if we hurry up the conscription, the maximum is 100,000, and this time we have captured more than 20,000 horses, but it will take time to form a battle." Zhang Laosan is known for his boldness, but he was also shocked by Zhou Sen's madness, and said with a wry smile.

"We have Red Bull!" Zhou Sen smiled.

Red Bull!

The crowd was shocked.

The Red Bull herd is not large and unsuitable for defending the city, but they are the nemesis of the city, and if the Red Bull helps in the battle, the towering walls of Orange Island can be captured without much effort.

"However, our forces are still too thin!" A high-ranking general of the Han Dynasty shook his head and expressed his opposition very clearly.

The crusader defenders of Orange Island have at least more than 200,000 troops, and there are large-scale crusaders stationed around it, as long as the battle drags on a little, it will only take a few days for Orange Island to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops.

100,000 Han soldiers, and most of them are infantry, to attack a super city with hundreds of thousands of defenders, the difficulty can be imagined, it is not a few hundred red bulls can be done.

In addition, the status of Orange Island is similar to that of the imperial capital, and the Crusaders will never give up, even if they die in battle, they will carry it to the end with the Han army, and when the time comes, the crusaders from all directions will continue to rush to Orange Island, then, the Han army, which is alone, will fall into the quagmire of war and cannot extricate itself......

"Don't worry about this, considering the confidentiality issue, I won't announce it to you for the time being." Zhou Sen nodded and said, "We'll leave the day after tomorrow, there are still two days to go, everyone will work hard, and finally recruit soldiers...... Well, the Han Empire originally had millions of troops, and after the rout that year, many veterans lived in seclusion in the countryside, and when they were conscripted, it was clearly announced that as long as they re-enlisted, the Han Empire would be restored in the future, and the responsibility for deserters would never be investigated! ”

"Yes, General!"

The next day.

A large-scale conscription campaign was launched in the city of Tongzhou.

This conscription is completely different from the conscription in Zhenshuiguan, it is not the old, weak, sick and disabled, but the requirements are extremely high, and it needs to face some simple tests, and it has extremely high requirements for physical and psychological quality.

Tongzhou City is located in a key area and has a high population density, even if the conscription screening is extremely strict, the number of people who enthusiastically sign up is more than 100,000.

After more than a year of war, the war was in chaos, the economy of the Han Empire was almost destroyed, and there was nothing to do in winter, many families can be said to be poor, hungry and cold, being a soldier is undoubtedly a good way out, bad luck, it's a big deal to die on the battlefield to serve the country, if you are lucky, if you are lucky, you will glorify your ancestors and bless your descendants.

The enthusiasm of the people to join the army is high, and many families are a few families, father and son go into battle.

In order to improve efficiency, Zhou Sen sent soldiers and horses to vigorously publicize in nearby towns and towns, and handled it on the spot, as long as the qualified conditions were met, he immediately enlisted in the army, which greatly improved the efficiency of conscription.

In the conscription, because of Zhou Sen's promise, many veterans with scruples also left behind their ideological baggage and re-enlisted.

The large-scale return of veterans has given this new recruit team a backbone, and at the beginning of its establishment, it has a certain combat capability, which is exactly what Zhou Sen needs.

Because when the city of Tongzhou was captured, a large number of military materials were captured, but there was no need to worry about the problems of weapons, armor, stomach, food and grass.

The only thing that made Zhou Sen depressed was that some of the captured military supplies were mostly Crusader things, including wintering clothes, and in the face of this situation, Zhou Sen could only helplessly deal with it, bought a batch of red cloth strips, torn them into strips, and let those big Han recruits wearing Crusader armor and stomach tie them to their arms, so that they could distinguish from each other.

Originally, they thought that the source of soldiers was the biggest problem, after all, no one was willing to risk their lives to go to the battlefield to fight.

Zhang Laosan underestimated Zhou Sen's appeal.

Many people who signed up, except for a group of poor people, most of them joined the army because they admired Zhou Sen, and some people, even if they just saw Zhou Sen's back, would be excited and incoherent.

Outside the official residence where Zhou Sen temporarily lives, there are countless handsome men and women, they are all to see the idol in their hearts, many young people heard the news of the conscription, and immediately signed up to join the army, and even, many young girls, also lined up in the long line, but unfortunately, Zhou Sen did not want female soldiers, otherwise, a women's corps could be established.

In addition to ordinary people, there are more and more superpowers coming from all directions.

The monster team around Zhou Sen is also getting bigger and bigger.

So far, Zhou Sen has no intention of letting the monsters participate in human battles, of course, it is not that Zhou Sen is worried about the monsters killing innocents indiscriminately, but he knows that these monsters have limited mana, so they have no problem dealing with individual humans, but in his thousands of troops, the fierce murderous aura of the human beings is enough to destroy the will of the monsters, even if it scares them into incontinence.

Many people overestimate the power of youkai, and in the human world, there are countless legends about youkai, but the stories of youkai on the battlefield are rare.

In the face of monsters, human beings have an innate advantage, especially when there are many people, human beings can burst out of a fierce momentum and masculinity, that masculinity, not only to scare monsters, but to monsters is really lethal, many monsters, on the battlefield, in the face of thousands of human soldiers, were directly frightened to the soul of not a few, fortunately not dead, but also more than by the monstrous masculinity, the loss of Taoism......

Of course, that only refers to some small monsters, and the real big monsters are still very scary.

Just when Zhou Sen was sorting out information in the mansion, there was a little monster who introduced a big monster, why did he say that he was a big monster? Because, when the demons saw him, they all showed fear in their hearts, and even the wolf demon and Du Juan demon, who were not shallow, did not dare to look directly at him, obviously, this monster can be regarded as a big monster.

Du Juan Demon took this big monster to the living room to wait for Zhou Sen, and when Zhou Sen walked into the living room, a heart-pounding feeling also rose in his heart.

What a majestic momentum!

This monster is more than two heads taller than Zhou Sen, standing there, his majestic figure has the potential to look down on the world, and his two eyebrows are thick and black, like two black blades.

"Zhou Sen!" Zhou Sen collected his mind and gave gifts, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Niujiazhai Cow Demon King, General!" The monster's expression was respectful, and he bowed down.

"Bull Demon King ......" Zhou Sen was dumbfounded, he was spurred by his adoptive father and adoptive mother, but after reading "Journey to the West" of the ancient earth, he naturally knew that there was such an important character in it.

"The general knows me?" The Bull Demon King was also stunned when he saw Zhou Sen's stunned expression.

"I have heard the name for a long time, like thunder, I can't imagine that it is Brother Niu who has arrived, and there is a loss of welcome, and there is a loss of welcome!" Zhou Sen was overjoyed and hurriedly beckoned the Bull Demon King to sit down.

"Why doesn't Lao Niu know the general?" The Bull Demon King was confused by the enthusiastic Zhou Sen, and asked suspiciously.

"Is Brother Niu's wife the princess of the iron fan?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Yes......" The Bull Demon King looked stunned, he couldn't imagine that in this God and Demon Continent, there were still people who knew about the existence of Princess Iron Fan.

"Do Brother Niu and Princess Iron Fan have a child named Red Child?"

"Yes......"

"Does Brother Niu have a sworn brother named Sun Wukong?" Zhou Sen laughed, being able to see the legendary characters, so that Zhou Sen, who was not shocked, was a little excited, think about it, on the earth, who can see the true face of the Bull Demon King!

"That monkey...... Hum! The Bull Demon King had a look of annoyance on his face.

"Haha, that's it, although we don't know each other, we have known Brother Niu's name for a long time!"

Zhou Sen personally poured tea for the Bull Demon King, which flattered the Bull Demon King, after all, it was the famous undefeated God of War in the Gods and Demons Continent who poured tea for him, and he, in the Gods and Demons Continent, was just a monster who occupied the mountains and was the king.

"Why ......" Bull Demon King is still confused.

"Does Brother Niu know about the Tang Dynasty?" Zhou Sen knew that if he didn't make it clear, this Bull Demon King would probably think about it in his head.

"Ah...... Know! ”

The Bull Demon King's body was shocked, and he stood up suddenly, looking at Zhou Sen in shock, with an incredible expression.

"I've read the history books of that place." Zhou Sen smiled.

"No wonder, no wonder......" The Bull Demon King sighed and sat down slowly, with a relieved expression.

"Brother Niu came over this time, I don't know what advice you have?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Since the general knows my old cow, then I might as well say that I was ruined by the Hercules in Niujiazhai in Weiling...... And also...... I heard that there are hundreds of red bulls under the general's command, which can be regarded as a member of my Niu family, and the Tongtian Divine Rat also follows the general...... But...... But ......" the Bull Demon King said that he was at the back, hesitating, and he stopped talking.

"Brother Niu has something to say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!" Zhou Sen paused word by word, and said with a solemn face.

"Lao Niu originally defected to the general, in order to take back Niu's village and avenge the clansmen, but just now I heard the general say that he knows that place, so Lao Niu has a reluctant request, I hope the general has the opportunity to send Lao Niu to that place to see......" The Bull Demon King said back, with an excited face.

"Brother Niu is going to that place, and when the war in the Han Empire is over, he can go at any time, but that place has changed, and Brother Niu will be disappointed if he goes." Zhou Sen sighed.

"This ...... What's changed? ”

"The vicissitudes of life, things are not people, the changes are so great that you can no longer imagine, and those people have already left."

"The Flame Mountain is still ......," the expression on the Bull Demon King's face became nervous.

"Yes, though, there's no Iron Fan Princess." Zhou Sen smiled bitterly.

"It seems, it seems, that battle, even she was affected......" The Bull Demon King was in a daze for a while, and his face showed a look of loneliness that was not commensurate with his rough facial features.

"Brother Niu, don't worry, when the war in the Han Empire is over, I will accompany Brother Niu to take a look, maybe I can find something." Zhou Sen said with relief.

"Okay, by the way, the god rat is here?" The Bull Demon King hesitated for a moment and asked.

“…… Tongtian God Mouse? ”

"Yes, it's an old acquaintance."

"Hmm."

Zhou Sen's divine thoughts entered the Shentai world and summoned the Tongtian Divine Mouse.

"Squeak ......" Tongtian Divine Rat looked confused, as if he was sleeping, his eyes were not fully opened, and he sat on a chair and screamed, as if he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Sen disturbing his sweet dream.

"Tongtian God Mouse, look who is coming!" Zhou Sen said with a smile.

"Squeak ......" Tongtian Divine Rat raised his eyes, a pair of misty eyes suddenly shot out of lightning, and at the same time, his body rushed towards the Bull Demon King like lightning, and a pair of indestructible monkey claws pulled out of the Bull Demon King when his chest.

"Ahhh......h Divine Mouse, Lao Niu is not fighting with you......"

Seeing the Tongtian Divine Mouse pounce on, the Bull Demon King was horrified, and he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and hurriedly summoned a heavy black giant shield to block in front of him, the black giant shield was caught by the Tongtian Divine Mouse, making a piercing sound, and the solid metal shield surface was torn alive with a few holes, which was shocking.

"Hey, he's coming to see you, what are you doing!" Zhou Sen hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the Tongtian Divine Mouse, fortunately, the Tongtian Divine Mouse did not make a move against Zhou Sen, but just stared at the Bull Demon King with a pair of eyes, and the battle intent was raging.

"God Mouse, I have no grievances with you, why do you kill when you see it!" The Bull Demon King looked depressed.

"I've long seen that you're upset." Tongtian God Rat spat out his mouth and snorted coldly.

"......" the Bull Demon King was speechless.

"Okay, okay, it's rare that everyone is together, and in the future, everyone will be brothers!"

"Who is a brother with him!" Tongtian Divine Rat said coldly.

"Ahem......" Zhou Sen was also speechless.

"Forget it, the Tongtian Divine Rat is a divine beast in the fairy world, how can you recognize me, a ninth-rate brother." The Bull Demon King was also open-minded and grinned.

"Bull Demon King, what are you doing?" The Heavenly Divine Rat pursed his mouth and asked.

"I heard that you are here with General Zhou, so you came to defect to ......"

"Hehe, you are my three-year-old child, listen to your nonsense, if you don't meet an opponent, will you come to Zhou Sen?" The heavenly god rat scoffed.

"This ...... Ahem......"

"Okay, okay, you are not too young, it is rare to get together today, don't talk about grievances and grievances, just eat meat in large pieces and drink wine in big bowls!"

"We don't eat meat!" The Bull Demon King and the Heavenly Divine Rat said in unison.
