Chapter 767: Abandoning Tongzhou Again
Zhao Yuan's move back to the carbine, its impact was extremely far-reaching, not only killed and injured the crusaders' vitality, but also strangled the crusaders near Tongzhou City, which greatly eased the pressure of the local resistance, gained living space, and began to flourish.
In addition to the direct attack on the Crusaders, the two battles of Tongzhou City, a large number of war horses were captured, especially this victory, more than 50,000 war horses were captured, and such a large-scale number of war horses provided conditions for the Great Qin Empire to establish a cavalry team.
The next day, that night, Zhao Yuan arranged for people to send most of the war horses to Zhenshui Pass.
Compared with Tongzhou City, Zhenshui Pass needs war horses more, and Zhenshui Pass has strategic depth and is safer.
The great victory of Tongzhou City soon spread throughout the entire Great Qin Empire, and this news made the cold Great Qin Empire seem to have arrived in spring in advance, and the people of Great Qin rushed to tell each other, especially the resistance in some places, and they were even more excited.
For the resistance of the Crusaders, any victory of the Great Qin Empire was exciting.
Zhao Yuan's prestige became more and more loud in the Great Qin Empire, and he also became a benchmark figure in the resistance against the crusaders.
When Zhao Yuan won successive victories in Tongzhou City, Heishui City also took a series of military actions to cooperate.
As early as when Zhao Yuan was still marching in the snowfield, General Changkong received a letterhead from the golden eagle of Yunhai.
Originally, General Changkong was going to cooperate with Zhao Yuan to fight, but for the sake of safety, General Changkong still delayed for a few days, and it was not until Zhao Yuan captured Tongzhou City that Heishui City launched a large-scale military operation.
The Rolling Stone Barracks, the Maple Grove Barracks, the Nine Bend Barracks, and the three Barracks, echoing each other from afar, began to launch a series of military operations against the surrounding Crusader Rangers with the Thorn Nu Cavalry as the intermediate force.
In order to prevent the expansion of Blackwater City's power, General Gore did not back down and immediately returned the favor.
In the ice and snow, the Great Qin Empire and the Crusaders launched a brutal bloody battle, fighting, and there was no final victor, although the Thorn Slave cavalry was brave and good at fighting, but it was impossible to defeat General Gore's army through a few battles.
Blackwater City has become a huge meat grinder for hundreds of miles, and the scale of soldiers invested by both sides is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of soldiers dying on the battlefield every day has skyrocketed......
Just when the Great Qin army and the crusaders in Blackwater City were in a tug-of-war, the news of Zhao Yuan's abandonment of Tongzhou City was transmitted to Blackwater City, which greatly damaged the morale of Blackwater City.
Before figuring out the situation that Zhao Yuan was facing, Blackwater City ended this battle that was not long, but the intensity was extremely terrifying, and began to take a wait-and-see posture.
The Great Qin army shrank into Blackwater City to watch, which made the nervous crusader commander breathe a long sigh of relief, after all, no one wants to fight outside in this bad weather......
......
When Zhao Yuan killed a beautiful horse pistol and the news of the heavy damage to the crusaders reached Blackwater City again, the entire Blackwater City was boiling, and the soldiers were in a state of war.
General Tsuneko lost no time in sending troops again and engaged in a hard-fought war of attrition against the crusader camp.
The war of attrition in the Cold Weapon Age was terrifying, and in the ice and snow wasteland outside Blackwater City, the Crusaders and the armies of the Great Qin Empire were once again caught in a bloody tug-of-war.
It's a brutal winter.
Every day, thousands of people are killed or wounded.
Within a hundred kilometers outside of Blackwater City, sneak attacks, ambushes, and frontal charges have become commonplace......
General Gore is under unprecedented pressure.
The morale of the Great Qin army is getting stronger and stronger, but it is the Crusaders, because they do not have the advantage of the Black-winged Kunpeng, they are becoming more and more war-weary.
Now, General Gore still has nearly 10,000 black-winged kunpeng under his command, but he no longer dares to release these heavenly forces that he once made him proud of, because the Great Qin Empire has found a way to deal with black-winged kunpeng.
The archers led by Lan Cai'er roamed the vast snowfield like ghosts, and they became the nemesis of the black-winged Kunpeng.
In the early stage of the confrontation between the two armies, the Crusaders lost only a few dozen Black-Winged Kunpeng every day, but the number began to increase dramatically over time, and at the peak, the number of Black-winged Kunpeng lost as many as hundreds, which was no longer something that General Gore could bear.
Just when the battle situation in Heishui City was getting more and more tragic, that is, on the seventh day when Zhao Yuan captured Tongzhou City again, Heishui City suddenly received news that more than 100,000 Great Qin troops in Tongzhou City suddenly withdrew again.
Like last time, this time, Zhao Yuan's evacuation was still quiet, and when the people of Tongzhou City opened the door in the morning, the originally crowded city became empty again.
More than 100,000 Great Qin troops disappeared without the slightest warning.
At the beginning, many people thought that Zhao Yuan was only temporarily evacuated like last time, but careful people soon found that this time Zhao Yuan's evacuation was very thorough, not only to take away some heavy equipment, but also to move the grain in the granary, and the military materials that could not be taken away were also burned.
Tongzhou City has become an empty city, an empty city without defense.
An army of more than 100,000 trekked one foot deep and one foot shallow in the gray and cold snowfield.
No one knew why Zhao Yuan would suddenly order the evacuation of Tongzhou City, this order came too suddenly, and even Tu Lao Er's group of senior generals didn't know about it.
When Blackwater City learned that Zhao Yuan had evacuated Tongzhou City, it was already the seventh day, and in fact, Zhao Yuan had only been in Tongzhou City for five days.
In the early morning of the fifth day, more than 100,000 troops were ordered to evacuate Tongzhou City.
Fifty miles after leaving the city of Tongzhou, this army, which had won two battles in succession and whose morale was high, immediately divided into three routes and began to advance in three directions.
Just like last time, Zhao Yuan sent all the masters around him, including a group of monsters, to start hunting the Crusader's scouts.
The three armies disappeared into the vast white world realm out of thin air......
......
The fall of Tongzhou City, the shock of the Orange Island Giant Spirit God is beyond measure.
As one of the commanders of the four armies, the Djinn God had absolute dominating power, and in just three days, he requisitioned an army of 100,000.
The giant spirit god's hatred for Zhao Yuan can no longer be described with pen and ink.
Only since Zhao Yuan occupied Zhenshui Pass, the Giant Spirit God has not had a good night's sleep, because, the negative effect of Zhenshui Pass, the underground resistance of the Great Qin Empire is becoming more and more, which makes the Giant Spirit God anxious and suppressed everywhere.
The two falls of Tongzhou City caused the Crusaders to lose more than 100,000 elites, which made the Giant Spirit God more and more unbearable.
In the end, the giant spirit divine power overrode public opinion and decided to personally conquer Tongzhou City, vowing to hang Zhao Yuan's head on Tongzhou City.
An army of 100,000 people, wearing stars and moons, rushed to Tongzhou City with murderous spirit.
On the seventh day, the giant spirit god rushed to Tongzhou City, but what made the giant spirit god dumbfounded was that Tongzhou City had become an empty city.
At the beginning, the giant spirit god thought that there was an ambush, and after several temptations, it was certain that Zhao Yuan had already evacuated Tongzhou City and did not know where to go.
In order to find out Zhao Yuan's whereabouts, the giant spirit god tortured countless Tongzhou people to confess, but as a result, nothing was found.
In order to determine the direction of Zhao Yuan's army, the Giant Spirit God sent a large number of black-winged Kunpeng and scouts, but either they found nothing, or they went and there was no return.
The vast snowfield has become a huge trap, constantly devouring life.
Dressed in iron armor, the giant spirit god sitting on the chair was like a majestic mountain, he fell into a bitter thought, and his intuition told him that Zhao Yuan must have a plan, but he couldn't think of the reason why Zhao Yuan evacuated Tongzhou City.
In fact, not only the giant spirit god can't figure it out, but even his group of think tank teams can't communicate with each other, you must know that this day is cold, and it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to hide in the wasteland for a long time, even if they are not starved to death, they must freeze to death.
"General, will that wicked Zhao Yuan go to Orange Island?" said one of the officers.
"Go to Orange Island?" the giant spirit god sneered, "You are an idiot to be the undefeated god of war of the Great Qin Empire! Now, although Zhao Yuan has more than 100,000 infantry, but only a small number of cavalry, this goes to Orange Continent, all the way for hundreds of miles, isn't it going to die? Besides, even if he goes to Orange Island, this road is far away, and the news will definitely leak out, and when the time comes, Ben will wave his army straight down and form a situation of outflanking, he Zhao Yuan, still has a way to live?"
"What the general said is very true. A staff member nodded and said: "Zhao Yuan seems to be deliberately trying to hide his traces, however, this snowstorm weather, the weather is cold, unless they stay in one place and do not move, as long as they take military action, they will definitely show their feet, so if they want to sneak attack Orange Island, it is impossible at all, besides, Orange Island is strong and strong, as long as Zhao Yuan leads the army to enter, it is tantamount to throwing himself into the net, and he will definitely encounter attacks from all directions, and he thinks that Zhao Yuan may ......."
"Speak up!" The giant spirit god saw that the staff looked like he wanted to say something, and he was a little impatient.
"Zhao Yuan may want to repeat the old trick and sneak attack Tongzhou City. ”
"What do you mean by that?" the giant spirit god's body shook.
"This Tongzhou City is seriously damaged, now there is a cold winter, the city wall is frozen by ice, and the lack of stones cannot be repaired in a short time, that is to say, this Tongzhou City, in fact, is an undefended city, although we have 100,000 troops, but the other side has a group of blood cattle brought out from the Black Forest, charging into battle, invincible, as they take advantage of our unpreparedness, kill into Tongzhou, the consequences are unimaginable!"
