Chapter 700: The Water Floods the Bafang City
The dawn shrouded the entire Octagon City in a veil of mystery.
The Crusader cavalry had long been scouting and gathering information.
Information was pouring in from far and wide into Roma's makeshift tent.
Roma came out of the tent and stood at the door.
Sunrise.
The sunrise in the hinterland of the Great Qin Empire is the most majestic and magnificent...... Suddenly, a thin parabola rose from the inky blue clouds, this line was red and shining, and it was like a boiling solution thrown upwards, and then it was like a rocket rushing upward.
Although Röhm looked up at the sky, he was not in the mood to see this magnificent sunrise, because he was thinking.
Wrong.
This Bafang City has a mysterious atmosphere.
What puzzled Röm the most was that some of the soldiers riding the Black-winged Kunpeng seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and so far, he had not received any information from the air.
In the war for more than a year, Rohm is very aware of the importance of air intelligence, the Crusaders were able to defeat the fierce soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, completely thanks to the understanding of the dynamics of the Great Qin Empire's army, often able to use their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and concentrate superior forces to attack the opponent, if they lose the advantage of the black-winged Kunpeng, the two armies will face each other, and the deer will die really I don't know who will die, after all, the army of the Great Qin Empire is not easy to mess with, especially those warriors, their combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying, all of them are invincible, just killing the three gods of the Great Qin Empire, the Crusaders have lost a number of masters。
What intrigues will the other side have?
Rohm knew Zhao Yuan very well, he knew that Zhao Yuan was extremely thoughtful, and in his life as an outlaw, there were almost no major mistakes.
There is no doubt that this is a formidable opponent.
Röhm was convinced that no matter how powerful Zhao Yuan was, he would never be able to use hundreds of thousands of refugees against his elite Crusader cavalry, armed to the teeth.
In Rohm's opinion, this time it was not a battle of luck between him and Zhao Yuan, because he had an absolute advantage.
Perhaps many people don't know what the concept of 50,000 cavalry is.
In the battles of the past year, a cavalry of thousands of men of the Heavenly Crusaders defeated tens of thousands of soldiers of the Great Qin Empire.
While Rohm was thinking, at the same time, Zhao Yuan was also thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the crusaders and the army of the Great Qin Empire, because if he wanted to recover the Great Qin River and Mountain, it would not help at all to rely on Zhao Yuan's bravery.
The main force of the Crusader army was the rangers, that is, the light cavalry, with one man, two horses or three horses, with super power and endurance, and the large corps mostly used drag tactics. The main force of the Great Qin Empire was the infantry squadron, which was good at frontal attack, and the cavalry was mainly used for reconnaissance and the chariot was responsible for outflanking. In the past year, the millions of troops of the Great Qin Empire have been dragged to death, and the heavy cavalry has been dragged to death by the light cavalry. The Qin army had no chance of winning a decisive battle in the field, not to mention, because of the black-winged Kunpeng, the crusaders had an asymmetrical advantage in the mastery of intelligence.
Faced with the superiority of the Crusaders, it was almost impossible for the Great Qin Empire to defeat the Crusaders.
Unless......
Unless it is also dragged in a towing way.
The most advantageous way for the Great Qin Empire was to use the city as a base to bring it in, outflank it, and then mobilize troops to raid the old nest and use the resources of the whole country to consume the Mongols.
The problem is that now that the Great Qin Empire has completely fallen, it is no longer feasible to use cities as a base to introduce outflanking and the like.
Aside from other reasons, the Great Qin Empire had obvious strategic advantages, great national potential, richer resources, a large population, great strategic depth, and higher war potential.
In Zhao Yuan's view, the Great Qin Empire almost perished, there are too many reasons, both institutional and military, the root cause of the problem is the inherent disadvantage of the farming people to the nomads, and after losing the vast territory, it is impossible for the Great Qin Empire to form a cavalry force that can compete with it.
Thinking of cavalry, Zhao Yuan thought of the powerful military industry of the earth, there is no doubt that the light cavalry of the crusaders is no different from the armored vehicles of the earth, and the heavy cavalry is equivalent to the existence of tanks.
Now, the Great Qin Empire has lost its strategic depth, and it is no longer possible to form a large-scale cavalry confrontation, and the only reliance is on the hundreds of millions of people of the Great Qin Empire.
If the Great Qin Empire is full of smoke, then no matter how strong the crusaders are, they will not be able to resist the ants biting the elephant to death.
The problem is that it is not easy to get the people of the Great Qin Empire to engage in a campaign against the crusaders!
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yuan's mouth.
No one knows the people better than Zhao Yuan, because he has been in the Wanjia East Courtyard for a long time, and for the people at the bottom of the society, they don't care who rules who is whom, they just need to have a bowl of rice to eat.
In fact, the interests of the ruling class and the people at the bottom have no meaning, and it is precisely for this reason that when the Great Qin Empire was defeated, few of the people of the empire stood up to resist.
Unless......
Zhao Yuan thought of "unless" again.
Unless, the crusaders acted perversely and adopted iron-blooded tyranny, which made the people of the Great Qin Empire feel the crisis, and when life and death were at stake, there would naturally be countless people with lofty ideals who dared to stand up and resist.
Let the people of the Great Qin Empire resist spontaneously, even Zhao Yuan, who is strong in incitement, feels a little unreliable.
At present, Zhao Yuan believes that the only chance for the Great Qin Empire to turn defeat into victory is to assassinate slaves.
Because, the thorn slave is also a nation on horseback, subconsciously, Zhao Yuan glanced back at Lan Cai'er who was bathed in the golden morning sun, Lan Cai'er who was wearing a bathrobe, was formed by the golden sunlight into an extremely beautiful silhouette......
......
Finally, the first rays of sunlight pierced the darkness.
Rom looked at the Bafang City bathed in golden sunlight, and above the head of the Bafang City, stood a young man with long hair in golden armor.
Zhao Yuan.
Undefeated God of War.
Rohm's icy gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, and the fierce battle intent boiled in the air.
Almost at the same time, Zhao Yuan's deep gaze also fell on Rom's body.
Although the two were miles apart, they seemed to be close at hand.
Rom was murderous.
Zhao Yuan smiled.
What is he laughing at?
Am I being tricked?
Looking at the golden-armored long-haired young man standing on the city wall like a mountain, Rom was puzzled, he thought of countless possibilities, but he couldn't think of any way for Zhao Yuan to defeat him.
Theoretically, as long as he does not move and takes advantage of the Rangers, it is impossible for the opponent to cause harm to him, even if he is strategically against the sky.
In a sense, as long as Rohm does not forcibly attack the city, he is already invincible.
Inexplicably, a hint of anxiety appeared on Rom's face.
If it had been before, this would never have happened to Röm, because the Crusaders were very aware of the movement of troops and horses in the Great Qin Empire, but now, the Black-winged Kunpeng has lost its effect, and all the scouts who sent it have disappeared.
The crusaders can be said to know nothing about Bafang City, like a blind man touching an elephant, which has never appeared in the previous confrontation with the soldiers and horses of the Great Qin Empire, which also makes Roma feel extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves.
Under the morning sun, Röm saw the scout rushing towards him in a panic, and vaguely, Rom had a bad premonition.
"General, general is not good...... the cavalry turned over and dismounted dozens of kilometers away, and rushed to Rohm's body to pray.
Click!
Rom's scimitar was pulled out in half, revealing a shiny and sharp blade.
"General, the embankment from the Huangshi Reservoir in Bafang City has been dug up, and the water will soon overflow under Bafang City. The soldier shuddered and hurriedly prayed.
"What...... The Yellowstone Reservoir has burst its embankment......"
"Oops......"
“......”
Before Rohm could speak, a group of generals behind him had become a mess.
"Those who shake the morale of the army will be killed"
Brush!
Röm screamed, the scimitar was unsheathed, and the bright scimitar drew a bright line in the air, and finally, the line fell on the soldier's neck, and the soldier was just about to open his mouth to speak, but the head had already landed, and a pair of big eyes stared blankly at the sky, dead and blind.
In the distance, there was a commotion, and it was clear that the water from the Yellowstone Reservoir was already approaching the camp.
Around Röhm, there was a suffocating silence.
No one dared to challenge Röhm's authority, and in the eyes of the Crusader generals, Röhm was not a large army with troops, but a criminal who treated life as a mustard, but no one dared to speak out.
"Don't panic, everyone, the water level of the Huangshi Reservoir is not high, and the terrain of Bafang City is flat and vast, a small Huangshi Reservoir is impossible to flood this Bafang City. In addition, the city of Bafang is lower than we are, and if the Crusaders were to be flooded, it would be the city of the eight directions that would be flooded first. ”
"General Röhm is right, our mathematician Gauss said that even if all the water from the Yellowstone Reservoir were released, it would only flood the horse's legs. ”
"Hahaha...... It's just the position of the horse's legs. ”
"It turns out that Gauss has long known the truth. ”
“......”
At the mention of Gauss, a group of generals immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally dignified atmosphere was much more relaxed, and people joked with each other.
Even if the water floods the Bafang City, the Crusaders still have an absolute advantage, because the Crusaders are all cavalry, and the horses they ride are all tall horses, and if Gauss says that the water will only flood the horse's legs, it will never drown the horse's belly.
In the kingdom of heaven, there is an almost blind worship of the mathematical genius Gauss.
The water gradually flooded under the Bafang Castle.
With the persuasive power of Rohm's high-handed tactics and Gauss's words, the rebellious crusaders had stabilized, and the soldiers began to retreat to higher ground in a planned manner......
As the riots subsided, Röm stared at the golden-armored long-haired young man on top of the tower.
Rohm is empathetic.
Röhm had to guess the other party's intentions.
Why should the other party do things that harm others and themselves? You must know that the Huangshi Reservoir has been dug up, and it will not do the Bafang City the slightest......
