Chapter 709: Not a single soldier is spent
Not only are the anti-sky monkeys full of aggression, but even a group of cosmic hunters in the meteorite belt are also like great enemies, with fierce eyes one by one, and they look like they are hurting people at any time.
Zhao Yuan was injured, and the most self-blamed was a group of hunters in the meteorite belt, because they were responsible for Zhao Yuan's safety work, and if they wanted to be held responsible, they were the most responsible.
There is no need to question the loyalty of the people in the meteorite belt to Zhao Yuan, and it is precisely for this reason that the hunters in the meteorite belt have a sense of guilt.
In addition to the meteorite belt people forming a huge defensive circle, some cultivators on the periphery were also secretly vigilant.
People with a little military knowledge know that Zhao Yuan at this time is not trivial.
The impact of Zhao Yuan's combat effectiveness on the entire battle situation is almost negligible, after all, the confrontation between the two armies is often the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the combat effectiveness of individuals has become insignificant, but Zhao Yuan is not a soldier charging into battle at this time, he is the commander of the three armies, and he is the idol of the military and people of the Great Qin Empire.
The layers of defense formed a huge U-shape, completely encircling a group of crusaders holding white flags.
Looking at the murderous refugee army, the surrendered crusaders were terrified, secretly glad that they didn't have to fight each other.
The crusaders naturally didn't know what to do, and what they were in contact with now was not a real refugee, except for a group of hunters in the meteorite belt, as well as some masters in the rivers and lakes, as well as cultivators in the cultivation realm, these people, their spiritual temperament was naturally not comparable to that of the rabble of refugees.
Surrender!
Although Zhao Yuan had already seen the other party's white flag, when the other party said the word "surrender", Zhao Yuan still felt a little incredible.
Marching all the way from Bafang City, Zhao Yuan formulated countless siege plans, he also thought of countless possibilities, and even prepared for the worst, but he never thought that without a single soldier, he would be able to take a Xiongguan like Zhenshui Pass.
In fact, not only Zhao Yuan felt incredible, but even some officers and cultivators of the Refugee Army were also sluggish.
This victory, it seems, came too easily, and it is easy to be a little unreal.
In order to be foolproof and avoid being a trap, Zhao Yuan arranged for thousands of elites and hundreds of martial arts figures and cultivators to enter Zhenshui Pass in advance, ensuring that after completely controlling the city wall, hundreds of thousands of refugee troops entered Zhenshui Pass......
......
After entering Zhenshui Pass, Zhao Yuan, led by a group of generals who surrendered, came to the place where Rom was buried, and saw the secret room that had been burned to powder, as well as a pile of corpses like meat sauce.
Zhao Yuan did not doubt Roma's identity, because he could feel it.
Not only Zhao Yuan was able to identify Roma's body, but even the Monkey was able to identify Roma's body.
Looking at the pile of rotten meat on the ground, Zhao Yuan had mixed feelings.
In fact, before the surrender of the Crusaders at Zhenshuiguan, Zhao Yuan did not know much about Roma, and it was only now that Zhao Yuan knew about Rohm's status in the Heavenly Crusaders.
Zhenshui Pass, like a festival, is full of colorful ribbons, and the residents of the Great Qin Empire in Zhenshui Pass have held flowers and wine, rewarded the refugee army, and the refugee army has been respected like never before.
Whether it was the refugees of Bafang City or the people of Zhenshui Pass, they were full of a fanatical worship of Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan didn't spend a single soldier to let Zhenshui Pass hang up in vain, which has become a legend.
It's not just some ordinary people who worship Zhao Yuan, but also some cultivators who look at Zhao Yuan differently.
People were smiling.
In order to avoid chaos caused by the hundreds of thousands of refugee troops, Zhao Yuan diverted the refugee army, those with relatives to join relatives, those with friends to join friends, and those without relatives and friends temporarily arranged to camp in open fields.
Fortunately, Zhenshui Pass is one of the national granaries of the Great Qin Empire, and there is no need to worry about the problem of food for the time being, even if there is not enough food, it is easy to solve, after all, this Zhenshui Pass is located in a key chong, and the river extends in all directions.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees, after the diversion, there are still more than 200,000 people left, most of whom are young and middle-aged, who voluntarily stay to serve the country, and some are old, weak, sick and disabled.
After temporarily resettle a group of people, Zhao Yuan placed a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people in some posts, cooking and washing for soldiers, making weapons and sewing clothes, and so on, so as not to let people be idle.
At the same time, Zhao Yuan mobilized the big families in Zhenshui Pass to let them share some responsibilities.
Under the effective publicity, coupled with some promises from Zhao Yuan, some large families also accepted a large number of the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Zhao Yuan knew very well that he didn't need this army of hundreds of thousands of refugees at all, and he couldn't settle these hundreds of thousands of people with his personal strength, so he tried his best to divert the refugees and let some squires and tyrants also contribute money and efforts, which was really impossible to solve, and he could only arrange to work in the barracks.
Zhenshuiguan used to have high-intensity offensive and defensive battles, which were seriously damaged, but now it is a hundred industries waiting to be developed, and it only takes a little time, and it is not a problem to digest a little population. In fact, after the army of refugees entered Zhenshui Pass, many refugees left Zhenshui Pass with the help of waterways extending in all directions to seek refuge with relatives and friends.
It is worth mentioning that because the Crusader ships were too large to penetrate deep into some of the river tributaries from the sea, they were currently unable to fully control all the river channels.
For Zhao Yuan, the refugees in Bafang City are his heart disease.
No one knows better than Zhao Yuan the destructive power of refugees, when he was in the East Courtyard of Wanjia, Zhao Yuan had seen the power of refugees, under hunger, even the kindest people would become vicious wolves who were not afraid of death.
At the beginning, Zhao Yuan decided to attack Zhenshui Pass at all costs, precisely because he saw that this was a granary, at least, he would not let the refugees in Bafang City go hungry.
For refugees, as long as they can eat their stomachs, nothing is a problem.
The 30,000 surrendered Crusaders were disarmed and imprisoned, and were treated very well except for the shackles.
At the time when the refugees were being diverted, the army in Zhenshuiguan was also in full swing to form a system.
When he was in Bafang City, there were many soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, and in this Zhenshui Pass, a large number of soldiers of the Great Qin Empire were imprisoned, among them, there were some high-ranking generals, these people were familiar with forming an army, plus the weapons and military supplies of 30,000 crusaders, and soon, an army of 100,000 people was revealed.
Of course, to say that these 100,000 people, in the strict sense, are not really soldiers, it can only be said that this army is a force composed of young and middle-aged people, unlike the refugee army, which is mixed with a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled.
There is no doubt that this is a deformed army with no military training.
In addition, the total number of war horses in Zhenshui Pass is less than 200, which means that there is no possibility of forming a cavalry in Zhenshui Pass at all.
Infantry against cavalry, that's just whimsical.
Zhao Yuan has read a lot of military history of the earth, from the era of cold weapons to the age of hot weapons, he has a comprehensive understanding, among them, especially Genghis Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, he deeply admires.
There is no doubt that the current fighting style of the Crusaders is Genghis Khan during the Yuan Dynasty.
The cavalry of the Crusaders was extremely mobile, even a few thousand cavalry could besiege a city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and the combat effectiveness of the infantry and cavalry was not comparable at all.
It is conceivable that a person, riding a thousand-pound war horse and holding a sharp long knife, charging at a speed of dozens of miles per hour, is completely a moving fortress, and even a cavalry rushing into the infantry formation will cause disastrous consequences......
Although the city is high and dangerous, and the water and drought are worry-free, it is not a long-term solution to defeat the crusaders and stay here.
The problem now is that Zhao Yuan can't give up Zhenshui Pass like he gave up Bafang City, because, behind Zhao Yuan, there are still hundreds of thousands of refugees, as well as the 100,000 troops that have just been formed......
