Chapter 715: Empty City Strategy

When he learned the information that a large number of Crusader infantry were coming, Zhao Yuan suddenly realized a problem.

General Gore is not without a way to deal with him, he doesn't care about the gains and losses of Zhenshui Pass at all, his goal is very clear, it is Blackwater City, because, the emperor is in Heishui City, as long as the emperor is captured, the Great Qin Empire will be equivalent to the destruction of the country.

Although the emperor is only a little emperor, he has an incomparable spiritual symbolism, as long as the little emperor lives, the Great Qin Empire will still exist.

There is no doubt that General Gore is going all out to deal with Guo Axe, and once Blackwater City falls, it will be his turn Zhao Yuan.

Originally, Zhao Yuan hoped that Zhenshui City could contain the Crusaders, but Gore simply ignored him and still concentrated superior forces to besiege Blackwater City, which meant that Zhao Yuan's containment plan failed.

At present, it seems that Zhenshui Guan is thriving, but Zhao Yuan knows very well that this is just an illusion.

As for the lack of troops of the Crusaders, the phenomenon of lack of troops will soon be alleviated, once the large-scale Crusader infantry arrives in the interior of the Great Qin Empire, and has enough military strength, those lost towns will soon fall into the hands of the Crusaders again.

Relying on guerrilla warfare to recover the vast Great Qin River and Mountains is tantamount to a dream.

In order to defeat the Crusaders, it is still necessary to defeat the opponent on the frontal battlefield, and although this tactic of small fights can boost morale, the impact on the overall situation of the battle is insignificant.

It seems that his "royal road" still needs to be cultivated.

Zhao Yuan sighed.

According to the description of "Ten Thousand Enemies", the realm of "royal road" is a change from tactics to strategy, and it is unforgivable that he actually wasted more than three months in this Zhenshui Pass.

Give up Zhenshui Guan?

A crazy thought arose in Zhao Yuan's heart, but this thought was fleeting.

Zhenshui Pass is not a Bafang City, if Zhenshui Pass is abandoned, not only will these three months of hard work be in vain, but it will also cause a huge spiritual blow to the military and civilians of the Great Qin Empire.

How can we get out of this predicament?

Faced with this problem, Zhao Yuan thought about it for three days, but he couldn't find a perfect solution.

Now, the Crusaders have chosen a siege attitude towards Zhenshui Pass, neither suppressing it too much nor giving Zhenshui Pass too much room to move.

At present, because of Zhao Yuan's victory in Zhenshui Pass, it has inspired countless people with lofty ideals to rise up, and the battle of resistance is in full swing in the Great Qin Empire, which has indeed played some role in diverting and causing great pressure on the Crusaders, but this pressure is not as great as it seems on the surface, in fact, the Crusaders still control the military fortresses and large cities of the Great Qin Empire.

The revolt of the people of the Great Qin Empire strengthened the military structure of the Crusaders, who abandoned some sparsely populated and vast small towns and gathered in large cities, forming an unshakable military force.

Most importantly, the Crusaders' mobility increased exponentially after they abandoned small towns.

In the face of the resistance of the Great Qin Empire, the Crusaders still adopted the concentration of superior forces, with the help of absolute superiority of intelligence, once they found that there was a small gathering of people in small towns, immediately, the Crusader cavalry would rush to the local area like a hurricane......

......

Although the development of Zhenshui Pass is obvious to all, the traffic arteries of Zhenshui Pass are blocked, and there is a lack of military supplies, so it is impossible to form a force to destroy the crusaders in a short period of time.

Zhao Yuan conservatively estimated that even at the fastest rate of development, it would take three to five years for Zhenshuiguan to develop a military industry that could compete with the Crusaders.

Even if Zhao Yuan is given three to five years to develop, Zhao Yuan can have an invincible infantry team at most, and it is impossible to develop an invincible cavalry, because Zhenshui Pass will not produce good horses at all.

Only the Orr and the Thornnut steppes produced good horses, and now, after the Russian Empire was destroyed by the Great Qin Empire, it fell into the hands of the Crusaders.

Although the Thorn Slave did not fall, because the Great Qin Empire controlled the Thorn Slave for a short time, when the Great Qin Empire collapsed for thousands of miles, the Thorn Slave clan was also waiting to see Zhao Yuan in front of him, and there would never be any measures until Zhao Yuan's promise was obtained.

In addition, even if the Thorn Slave fully supported Zhao Yuan, it was impossible for the Thorn Slave's good horse to be transported thousands of miles to Zhenshui Pass......

......

Through countless analyses, Zhao Yuan has concluded that it is impossible for Zhenshuiguan to develop into a subversive military force.

Unless, let the cultivators go on a killing spree......

It was completely unimaginable for the cultivators to be completely loyal to the Great Qin Empire at all costs, even if there were cultivators involved in the war now, however, it was impossible for Zhao Yuan to expect them to kill the enemy with their swords on the battlefield of war.

In fact, it was not only the cultivators who were unwilling to do this, but even Zhao Yuan himself was trying his best to restrain the urge to kill the enemy in person.

Although Zhao Yuan's Heavenly Tribulation is not as frequent as before, but the power is getting bigger and bigger, and in the case of choice, Zhao Yuan is still trying to avoid killing too much and causing the Heavenly Tribulation.

A long time ago, Zhao Yuan always thought that the Heavenly Tribulation was a prohibition set by a certain immortal, and it was not until he arrived on Earth that Zhao Yuan realized that the Heavenly Tribulation was not controlled by the gods.

The gods have been freed from the blows of the Heavenly Tribulation, but the gods cannot control the Heavenly Tribulation, which is completely born from nature, and its appearance is a means of balancing the power of the laws of nature.

If you want to use cultivators on a large scale to fight, unless, the other party also uses large-scale cultivators.

In the history of cultivation, there have been countless battles in which cultivators have participated in human wars, but that was when the two sides were evenly matched, or when both sides had large-scale cultivators involved.

At present, the crusaders are still dominated by human warriors, and the number of cultivators in an army is not large, and it is far from reaching the situation where a battle breaks out between cultivators.

To break this situation!

Zhao Yuan, who stood on top of the city tower, frowned, and looked at the vast plain with deep eyes, like an eternal sculpture.

For the current Zhao Yuan, it is not difficult to lead an army to win a few battles, the problem is that winning a few wars will not do the slightest benefit to the predicament of the entire Great Qin Empire, but will cost the people and money, and weaken the current military strength of Zhenshui Pass.

The Ranger of the Crusaders most wanted to see the army of Zhenshui Pass go out of the city on an expedition, as long as they went out of the city, the Crusaders had countless ways to weaken the strength of Zhenshui Pass.

At present, the occasional military action taken by Zhenshui Pass is to launch an absolutely superior force, and adopt the tactics of blitzkrieg against those unscrupulous rangers, strike a blow to the arrogance of the other side, and then immediately retreat behind the majestic walls of Zhenshui Pass.

There is no doubt that the Great Qin army at Zhenshui Pass still has an absolute military advantage, but this advantage is only maintained within a radius of dozens of miles from Zhenshui Pass, and if it is a little farther, it will be beyond the reach of the whip.

The only thing that made Zhao Yuan happy was that the crusaders still did not gather a large-scale army, which means that the crusaders did not have a plan to attack the city, at least Zhenshui Pass was safe for the time being......

Is it safe for now?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan's tiger body was shocked.

A crazy plan swirled in Zhao Yuan's mind......

Zhao Yuan thought of the empty city plan of the earth.

What if there is an empty city plan in Zhenshuiguan?

Zhao Yuan's gaze shot out a scorching light, and the blood in his veins boiled like a great river of the Yangtze River.

Of course, Zhao Yuan's empty city plan is not Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, his empty city plan is just quietly lurking in Blackwater City.

Since the Crusaders have not yet planned to take a large-scale military action against Zhenshui Pass, then Zhao Yuan can take the opportunity to quietly rush to the Thorn Slave when the golden cicada is out of its shell, and after reaching an agreement with the Thorn Nu, and then go to Blackwater City, wave his troops straight down, echo with Zhenshui Pass, and destroy the military strength of the Crusaders in one fell swoop......

......

Zhao Yuan is a person who makes decisions on the spot, he does things, never drags mud and water, and after having this idea, he immediately began to lay out.

Zhao Yuan is undoubtedly the soul of Zhenshui Pass, if Zhao Yuan leaves Zhenshui Pass, it is bound to shake the hearts of the army, once the crusaders learn that Zhao Yuan has left Zhenshui Pass, they will definitely attack the city at the first time.

If you want to go without worries, you must make the soldiers and civilians of Zhenshui Pass and the crusaders believe that Zhao Yuan is still stationed in Zhenshui Pass.

Zhao Yuan did one thing and sent Lan Cai'er away in public.

Sending Lan Caier away is the first step of Ji Lu's plan, because Lan Caier's current identity is extremely important, she is not only Zhao Yuan's confidante, but also a representative of Shan Yu, so Lan Caier must leave Zhenshui Pass with Zhao Yuan, if Lan Caier suddenly disappears, it will definitely cause some people to speculate, so simply let Lan Caier go first.
