Chapter 940: Return to the Horse Gun

,!

That night, there was no meat, and the table was full of some melons, fruits and pastries, but dozens of jars of wine were placed in the corners of the wall, like a hill.

One person, a rat, a cow, drink heartily, the amount of wine of the Bull Demon King is amazing, a jar of wine is opened, and the neck is swallowed, Zhou Sen's amount of alcohol is passable, and he drank a few jars with him, and if it doesn't work, he will use magic to melt it, but the amount of wine of the Tongtian God Rat is very poor, and the wine is very poor, when he is drunk, he grabs the Bull Demon and beats him violently, and the Bull Demon King does not dare to fight back, so he can only stare and endure, and Zhou Sen is stunned, is this the legendary brutal Bull Demon King?

This meal of wine was drunk until the early hours of the morning, and after the drunken Tongtian Divine Rat beat the bull demon violently, he chatted incoherently with the bull demon king, and talked about the past, it was a handful of snot and a handful of tears, and in the end, the two of them drank so much that they hugged their heads and cried, and fell down on the spot, snorting and sleeping.

Zhou Sen naturally won't drink with them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to inquire about the news!

However, what made Zhou Sen depressed was that although a cow and a mouse had nothing to say, they were upside down, incoherent, messy, without the slightest clue, and with Zhou Sen's IQ, he only heard a rough idea.

After combing it repeatedly, Zhou Sen figured out a little bit of eyebrows.

To the effect that the two of them didn't know how many years ago, although they were their own masters, they still fought in one camp, and later, the dead died, the dead died, everyone was displaced, and finally lost contact, and now they meet, even the two iron "men" are very sad......

……

Zhou Sen, who racked his brains, only got some simple information, which is better than nothing.

After the two of them fell asleep, Zhou Sen called a few monsters, carried a cow and a mouse to the bed to rest, and continued to work.

Because of the large-scale conscription, Zhou Sen's official duties were very heavy, and the documents that required his endorsement were piled up every day.

Zhou Sen didn't dare to relax, he knew very well that the things he did casually were likely to be related to the fate of some people's lives, and in the future, he couldn't stay in the Han Empire, so he naturally didn't want to leave sequelae, so the work that could be clarified should be done now, take precautions, and never delay.

The document that Zhou Sen recorded and endorsed was actually the identity of some soldiers, in addition to their place of origin, etc., the most important thing was that Zhou Sen wanted to pardon some deserters as prime minister, which required him to sign in person before it could take effect.

This is the first time that Zhou Sen has exercised the right of the prime minister, and this right is almost negligible for Zhou Sen and the current Han Empire, but once it comes to peace, Zhou Sen's amnesty is related to the fate of thousands of families.

Zhou Sen didn't want the soldiers who fought with him to be court-martialed in the end.

The next day, when the first ray of sunshine fell on Tongzhou City, the busy conscription work began again, and many people began to line up a few hours ago, for fear of being brushed off, because there was already a notice saying that the conscription work would end this afternoon, that is, the conscription should not be conscripted today, and there would be no chance in the future.

In addition to the people of Tongzhou City queuing up all night, young adults from the surrounding towns and villages are also coming from all directions.

In order to speed up the efficiency, Zhou Sen temporarily added several places to sign up.

Just as the conscription work was in full swing, preparations for the expedition were also proceeding in an orderly manner.

What puzzled Zhang Laosan and his group was that Zhou Sen was not allowed to carry a large amount of food and heavy weapons.

Attacking Orange Island is not worse than attacking Tongzhou City, if you don't carry weapons, it will only cause immeasurable casualties, but no one dares to disobey Zhou Sen's clear order.

All the preparations were simple, and the food ration for each person was only for three days, and some heavy siege equipment was not allowed to be taken away at all, and even some surplus military supplies such as armor and stomach were strictly forbidden to carry.

The most outrageous thing is that Zhou Sen actually did not allow the Han soldiers to destroy the excess military supplies, but instead sealed them in the warehouse, which made a group of generals feel incredible.

Since it is to abandon Tongzhou City, then, sealing these weapons is equivalent to leaving them to the Crusaders.

At the same time, Zhou Sen ordered to kill all the dogs and geese in Tongzhou City, even the dogs and geese in nearby towns, and not a single one was left.

Some of Zhou Sen's practices made all the feelings unreasonable, but no one objected.

The legendary story of Zhou Sen is popular in the Han Empire, and even some women and children can tell some of Zhou Sen's classic battles, and people have an almost blind worship of Zhou Sen......

……

That night, the conscription ended, and after the count, the total number of recruits was 78,000, of which 23,000 were veterans of the rout that year and re-enlisted.

After resting for two hours, in the early hours of the morning, in the dead of night, more than 100,000 troops set out on the road.

Hit the road without warning.

Whether it is a recruit or a veteran, they are all incredulous about the decision to suddenly abandon Tongzhou City, but the military order is like a mountain, and no one dares to disobey it, not to mention, the commander is the famous bandit Zhou Sen.

The legend of Zhou Sen can be said to be mixed, but whether it is ruined or reputational, there is no doubt that Zhou Sen is an iron-blooded soldier, in addition to his steely willpower, he also has bloody wrists, challenging his authority, undoubtedly joking with his own life.

More than 100,000 troops, in the vast snowy night, abandoned the hundreds of thousands of Tongzhou City residents who slept in the quilt and left quietly.

The night in Tongzhou City, where there are no dogs and geese, is breathtakingly quiet.

On this cold night, no one would walk on the streets, even if someone encountered the evacuated army, they would mistakenly think that Zhou Sen was going to take some military action, and they would never have thought that Zhou Sen had completely abandoned Tongzhou City.

When the sun rose, the entire city of Tongzhou was silent, and the city walls, which were originally heavily guarded, were empty.

At first, people didn't take it seriously, but the atmosphere of fear soon filled the city, and soon, people understood that Tongzhou City was abandoned by Zhou Sen.

No one knows why Zhou Sen gave up Tongzhou City, but there is no doubt that this is a huge blow to the people of Tongzhou City, you know, many people in order to support Zhou Sen, it can be said that they have poured out their family wealth, and even, many people sent the young adults in their families to the battlefield, swearing that even if they shed the last drop of blood, they would hold Tongzhou City, but Zhou Sen evacuated without warning, and even left quietly without even saying hello......

Amid the curses of the city, the Crusaders rushed from all directions and reoccupied the city of Tongzhou without much effort.

The flag of the crusaders was replanted on the city of Tongzhou.

Just when the city of Tongzhou fell back into the hands of the crusaders, and Zhou Sen, a small town already eighty miles away, with hundreds of cavalry and more than 2,000 infantry stationed in the small town, was surrounded by Zhou Sen's large army and annihilated with a thunderous force, without any omission.

More than 100,000 troops were stationed in this small town, and the entire small town was blocked, only allowed to enter and not leave.

No one knows what medicine Zhou Sen sells in his heart, but a group of generals are becoming more and more anxious, because the food brought by hundreds of thousands of troops can only last for three days, even if it is counted as food in small towns, it can support a week at most......

A blizzard raged across the wasteland, rolling up a flurry of snowflakes.

The traces left by hundreds of thousands of troops in the snow field were soon covered by the flying snow, and the black-winged Kunpeng, who was already pitiful in the sky, died under Zhou Sen's arrowing technique.

In order to ensure that his tracks were not exposed, Zhou Sen went on a killing spree, shooting all the birds that were close to the surroundings and never letting them go.

On this wasteland, a group of youkai finally came in handy, they moved around the army, and any suspicious targets, immediately culled......

The crusaders who had rushed from all directions to encircle and suppress Tongzhou City lost Zhou Sen's trace.

Time passed little by little, and there were more and more crusaders in Tongzhou City.

When Tongzhou City fell, the Orange Island Guardian General Giant Spirit God issued a series of orders to assemble the Crusader defenders around Tongzhou City and take Tongzhou City back from the Han Dynasty.

Speaking of the giant spirit god of Orange Island, it is necessary to make it clear.

The crusaders led by General Gore were the first expeditionary force sent by the Kingdom of Heaven to the Han Dynasty, but they were not the only ones.

The Kingdom of Heaven sent a total of four armies to expedition to the Han Empire, forming an echelon form, echoing each other from afar, among them, General Gore was only one of the commanders of the four armies, and the other three armies, one of which was commanded by the Djinn Spirit, and the remaining two armies, one was stationed in the territory of the Russian Empire, and one was stationed in the capital of the Han Dynasty.

For the Crusaders, Tongzhou City was too important, because as long as the Han Dynasty occupied Tongzhou City, it could form a distant echo with Zhenshui Pass, and the strategic depth of Zhenshui Pass became more and more extensive.

On top of that, the Crusaders lost two important cities in succession, which was a serious blow to the morale of the Crusaders, so the recapture of Tongzhou City was crucial to boost the morale of the Crusaders.

Because of the crusaders who fled back, coupled with the huge intelligence system, the defenders of Orange Island already knew the strength of the Han in Tongzhou City, and it was precisely because of the military intelligence of the Han that the defender of Orange Island decided to recover Tongzhou City at all costs.

In order to have a decisive strike force and ensure the recovery of Tongzhou City, the Djinn God mobilized 70,000 cavalry.

70,000 cavalry is already the limit that the Giant Spirit God can recruit in a short period of time, but the Giant Spirit God has full confidence in capturing Tongzhou City, because he knows the weakness of the Han army, and he also knows that Tongzhou City is now an undefended city.

In order to ensure success, the djinn god devised a well-thought-out military plan, employing the tactics that the Crusader cavalry did best—harassment warfare.

The rangers of the crusaders are powerful in the world, and at this time Tongzhou City is already an undefended city, according to the design of the giant spirit god, 70,000 troops, ready for a protracted war, with the surrounding towns as a base, take turns to attack Tongzhou City, slowly consume the combat effectiveness of the Han army, he believes, there is no need to end in winter, Tongzhou City will fall into the hands of the crusaders again.

The crusaders from all directions did not rush to Tongzhou City at the same time, because, for the rangers, there was no need to gather together at all, and their tactic was to grind the Han army little by little, rather than attacking.

When the first batch of crusaders arrived at Tongzhou City, they were all stunned when they looked at the open city gate.

No one thought that Tongzhou City would become an empty city overnight.

No one can understand why Zhou Sen gave up without warning after working hard to conquer Tongzhou City.

Faced with an empty city with no strength to defend itself, the Crusaders were stunned and then overjoyed, after all, no one wanted to fight guerrilla warfare in the snow in this freezing weather.

In this harsh winter, it is best to snuggle up in the barracks and drink a steaming sip of ginger tea.

The Crusaders recaptured the city of Tongzhou without a single soldier......

……

Just when the crusaders were rushing to Tongzhou City, Zhou Sen, who had rested in the small town for three days, suddenly issued an order that stunned everyone on a snowy night.

Kill back to Tongzhou City!

When Zhou Sen gave the order, everyone had a feeling of sudden realization.

No wonder you only bring enough food for three days.

No wonder you don't carry those heavy equipment.

No wonder......

……

On the night when the cold wind was calling and the snow was flying, Zhou Sen led an army of more than 100,000 and rushed to Tongzhou City in the starry night.

Eighty miles, according to the lowest pace, it only takes four hours.

Four hours, when I arrived at Tongzhou City, it was not yet dawn.

"General, why do you want to kill back?" The Bull Demon King was puzzled, this question tortured him for three hours, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Tongzhou City, he finally couldn't help but ask.

In fact, it wasn't just the Bull Demon King who couldn't figure it out, all the senior generals didn't understand, and when the Bull Demon King asked a question, they all watched Zhou Sen solve the mystery with a blank eye.

"It is possible to concentrate the living forces of the Crusaders." Zhou Sen rode on the unicorn and glanced at the Bull Demon King beside him, although the Bull Demon King was walking beside him, his figure was extremely burly and tall, but he was not much shorter than Zhou Sen.

"Concentrated Annihilation ......" The Bull Demon King is obviously not a smart monster, scratching his head, he still can't figure it out.

"I see!" Zhang Laosan, who was riding beside Zhou Sen, said excitedly.

"Hehe, let's talk about it." Zhou Sen said with a smile.

"The current Tongzhou city wall collapsed, it can't be repaired for a while, in fact, it is an undefended city, if we stick to the city, but be in a passive position, and the crusader rangers are invincible in the world, they only need to send rangers to harass every day, and even, they can rush into the city wall to slaughter, and we don't have many cavalry, we can't deal with it, we can only defend passively, the tug-of-war has been for a long time, and Tongzhou City is naturally not ......"

"Go on." Zhou Sen showed a hint of appreciation on his face, although this third child, although vulgar, is coarse and fine, one point is clear, with more training, it is not impossible to become a generation of famous generals.

"If we give up Tongzhou City, and wait for the crusaders to gather in Tongzhou City, the situation will be very different, we can not only let Red Bull play their invincible advantage, but also, we can sneak attack them, and catch them off guard, at that time, their cavalry may not have ridden their horses, our army, has poured into Tongzhou City......" Zhang Laosan's face was red, his hands were dancing, and his excitement was incomprehensible.

"Yes." Zhou Sen nodded with satisfaction.

"The general really lives up to his reputation!" The Bull Demon King exhaled a long breath and gave Zhou Sen a thumbs up.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhou Sen was extremely happy, and he was able to be admired by the legendary mythological figures, and his mood was naturally not to say.

"We've been in town for three days, waiting for the crusaders to assemble?" Zhang Laosan seems to have some questions that he is not sure about, and he wants to be confirmed here by Zhou Sen.

"Yes. Now the blizzard weather, the climate is bad, it is impossible for the crusaders to gather a large army from too far away to attack Tongzhou City, then, the only feasible way is to gather the garrisons of the small towns around Tongzhou City to Tongzhou City, now the weather is cold, the weather is bad, gather the crusaders from the surroundings, at least it will take more than three days, three days later, the crusaders assembled, at this time, they traveled a long way to prepare for a bloody battle, but they did not expect that there were no Han soldiers in Tongzhou City, which would make them overjoyed, tense nerves relaxed, and fell into exhaustion, Then, at this time, it is impossible for the crusaders to return immediately, and Tongzhou City is rich in materials, at least, they will have to rest in Tongzhou City for a few days, and it is the best time to gather and destroy the enemy at this time! In addition, once we annihilate these crusaders, then the surrounding towns will return to the control of the Han Dynasty, and some local resistance forces in the Han will also have a chance to breathe, as long as they breathe, when the time comes, they will become the middle force against the crusaders......"

"I see!"

Zhang Laosan and a group of generals around him all looked at Zhou Sen with reverence.

Zhou Sen's plan can be said to be seamless, not only to speculate on the military actions of the crusaders, but even to extrapolate the situation faced by the crusaders, all of which are incredible.

The blizzard was still raging on the land, the north wind was howling, and the whole sky was gray.

An army of more than 100,000 people is trudging through the snowfields in white cloaks, and everyone knows that today, they will create a new miracle.

The icy snowflakes didn't cool down the boiling blood.

More than 100,000 soldiers, including new recruits, were full of fighting spirit, looking forward to the miracle that was about to befall them, and looking forward to the stunned faces of the crusaders.

When they arrived outside Tongzhou City, this mighty army was divided into three routes, and approached Tongzhou City little by little by means of the wind and snow that covered the sky and the sun, and everyone was careful and did not make the slightest sound, because the soldiers knew very well that every time they got closer to Tongzhou City, there would be a little more victory and fewer casualties.

At the same time, Zhou Sen sent out all the good men around him, including a group of monsters, and began to hunt down the sentries of the Crusaders.

On this cold night, there was hardly a human figure on the city walls, and even the occasional head wrapped in fur poked out, and there was a symbolic glance outside, in fact, no one thought that anyone would attack the city on this night when the ice and snow were like blades.

There is no moonshine.

However, under the light of the snow, the outline of the towering city wall of Tongzhou City is still clearly visible, and several gaps that were knocked down by the red bull are still vivid.

Outside the three crashed city walls, thousands of Han infantry had gathered densely.

The anti-slip material that had been prepared for a long time was laid on the gap in the city wall layer by layer......

……

The first to attack the city were not infantry, nor Red Bull, but a few thousand cavalry.

It is worth mentioning here that when the last time Tongzhou City was captured, although the Han Dynasty captured more than 20,000 war horses, but there were war horses, but there were not many soldiers who were good at riding and shooting.

Among the hundreds of thousands of troops, a total of more than 3,000 cavalry were selected, which shows the scarcity of Han cavalry.

More than 3,000 cavalrymen, with their horse's hooves wrapped in velvet blankets, quietly stepped on the city wall.

When the 3,000 cavalry stepped onto the city walls, they were finally discovered by a conscientious crusader sentry.
