Chapter 923: The Prince is furious
Under the darkness of the night, the Jiepai Xiongguan was low and dilapidated, like a wild beast lurking on the vast plains.
Standing on the city wall, there will be the heroism of the king who looks down on the world.
Walking at the base of the city wall, it will produce the opposite feeling, a feeling of insignificance and humility.
Under the corner tower of the city wall of Jiepai Xiongguan, there is a boulder that has been dug up, the boulder weighs at least thousands of catties, and the position originally covered by the boulder is the delicate octagonal pattern, which is where the eye of the eight-star array is located.
Around this array, Zhao Yuan arranged a large number of soldiers to guard, really three steps and one sentry, five departments and one post, and the security was extremely strict.
......
The morning sun rises.
When the fiery red sunlight shone on the walls of the Jiepai Xiongguan, a strange scene appeared.
The superb spars placed by the eight organs of the eight-star array refracted red light, and the light reflected to the huge bluestone slab, and the bluestone slab emitted milli light, and then, the milli light revolved around the city wall as if it had spirituality, and eight rays of light shot out in eight directions, converging in the sky above the Jiepai Xiongguan, forming a huge three-dimensional red eight-pointed star in the sky.
The eight-pointed star kept rotating under the canopy, like a huge gear, and it was full of a mysterious atmosphere.
The spectacle lasted less than a stick of incense, when the spinning eight-pointed star vanished, and the mist surging in the air disappeared without a trace, as if the dreamlike scenery had never appeared.
Everything returned to its normal state, but the soldiers vaguely felt that the ancient city wall seemed to suddenly become vibrant, which was an extremely strange feeling, because the city wall, which was still dilapidated and decrepit just a moment ago, suddenly regained new vitality, thick and steep, and daunting.
Everything Zhao Yuan did was just repeating everything he did back then.
The secret of the Eight Star Array had been deeply seared into his soul.
For half a month in a row, the entire Jiepai was silent, and the crusaders in the inland area seemed to have forgotten about it.
Zhao Yuan also did not take military action, because the army he now had was not enough to strike a powerful military blow against the crusaders.
Zhao Yuan's purpose is not to attack all the way to the hinterland of the Great Qin Empire, and to join them with Guo Axe, in fact, with Zhao Yuan's current strength, let alone hitting the area of Zhenshui Pass, even if he leaves the Jiepai Xiongguan, it will be difficult to protect himself.
Zhao Yuan's real purpose is to hold the boundary card Xiongguan.
As long as he guards the Boundary Pai Xiongguan, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road and supplies of the Crusaders, and he does not need to take the initiative to attack at all, and the Crusaders will come to the door.
The silence at this time is a precursor to a thunderstorm.
Now, Zhao Yuan has cut off the retreat of the Crusaders, and the Crusaders have also cut off all the passages between the Jiepai Xiongguan and the outside.
In other words, the Crusaders blocked the news, so that the Great Qin soldiers in the area of Zhenshui Pass in Orange Island could not know that Zhao Yuan, who was thousands of miles away, had already occupied the Russian Empire and Jiepai Xiongguan.
No one knows how long this kind of news blockade can last, but Zhao Yuan is sure that the crusaders should be sending troops to deal with him.
Zhao Yuan also needed a little time, and these fifteen days were not only the time when the crusaders were deploying troops, but also the time when the Russian army was constantly coming.
By the fifteenth day, the total number of the Orr army had exceeded 100,000, and with the surrender of the Tianzun Grand Canyon and Jiepai Xiongguan, Zhao Yuan's available troops had reached 120,000, not including some civilian armed organizations.
Now, what makes Zhao Yuan depressed is that although he has 100,000 soldiers, he has no generals who can be used.
The only one who helped Zhao Yuan was Lan Cai'er.
In these fifteen days, Lan Cai'er continued her own work and trained a large number of archers to deal with the black-winged Kunpeng in the sky.
Throughout the war history of the entire Zhanyun Continent, the Lan Caier family has played a vital role, from the confrontation between the Thorn Slave and the Great Qin Empire, and from the confrontation between the Great Qin Empire and the Crusaders, until now the confrontation between the Orr Army and the Crusaders, Lan Caier has let the glory of the family shine on the entire Zhanyun Continent.
In the military world, although Lan Caier is not directly in charge of military power, no one can despise Lan Caier, although there are elements of Zhao Yuan, but it is more of Lan Caier's own efforts.
Many outstanding generals of the Great Qin Empire have been guided by the Lan Cai'er family, and the members of Lan Cai'er's family have been active in every military camp of the Great Qin Empire, which can be said to be full of peach and plum all over the world.
The most powerful thing about Lan Cai'er's arrow technique is that it can train a sharpshooter into a master who can shoot a black-winged Kunpeng in a very short time.
There is no shortage of archers in any army, so it means that Lan Caier can form a powerful army of archers at the fastest speed anywhere.
When Lan Cai'er was captured, it was because of the importance of her status that she was escorted to the rear of the Crusaders, the Russian Empire, in addition to wanting to threaten Zhao Yuan, mainly to let Lan Caier serve the Crusaders.
In fact, at that time, Shan Yu was able to independently support Guo Axe's rescue, and it was also because the senior generals of the crusaders wanted to capture Lan Cai'er alive, which shows how noble Lan Cai'er's status is......
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
The Orr army stationed in Jiepai Xiongguan and Tianzun Grand Canyon all knew that next, the current quiet and peaceful was the prelude to a storm.
Zhao Yuan's guess was correct.
The Orr Army was right.
When they learned that Zhao Yuan had occupied the Xiongguan Pass of the Russian Empire, the crusaders panicked, and even Prince Philip, who was not shocked, was furious.
Any crusader knew the importance of the Russian Empire.
If the Russian Empire is lost, the crusaders of the Great Qin Empire will be cut off from supplies and back routes.
If you want to recover the territory of the Russian Empire, you must defeat Zhao Yuan, the undefeated god of war who is entrenched in the Tianzun Grand Canyon and the Jiepai Xiongguan.
"We must recover the territory of the Russian Empire!" the furious Prince Philip slammed his fist on the table.
Dozens of generals were silent.
Although few of the generals present had dealt with Zhao Yuan, no one was unfamiliar with what Zhao Yuan had done.
General Bach.
Death disciple Rom.
Hercules Samson.
......
There are countless Crusader generals who died in the hands of Zhao Yuan, General Gore was killed by Zhao Yuan in Blackwater City and lost his armor, and the 100,000 army led by the giant spirit god was killed on the ice field, and the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain.
It was precisely because of Zhao Yuan that the Great Qin Empire drove the crusaders from Blackwater City all the way to the area of Zhenshui Pass Orange Continent, and it was precisely because of Zhao Yuan that the Giant Spirit God lost the strategic place of Orange Continent.
Today, Zhao Yuan once again struck up a surprise army, captured the Russian Empire in one fell swoop, controlled the Russian military port, and went all the way east, crossing the barren and arid Orr Desert, and capturing the Tianzun Grand Canyon, a dangerous place, entrenched in the Jiepai Xiongguan.
No one dared to fight.
In the eyes of a group of crusader generals, fighting with Zhao Yuan is full of unknown variables, and the long-haired young man is always able to use all the resources to win and achieve the final victory.
There are many masters under Philip who are not afraid of Zhao Yuan, and even have the certainty of defeating Zhao Yuan, but militarily, no one dares to pat their chests and guarantee to win.
Zhao Yuan is a legendary figure, and everything he does is unexpected.
Convincing the Assassin Slave to be loyal to the Great Qin Empire, which was simply impossible in the eyes of the Crusaders at the beginning, because, according to the investigation, the Assassin Slave and the Great Qin Empire can be described as a deep blood feud, not to mention loyalty to the Great Qin Empire, it is enough to be righteous if you don't fall into the ground, and Zhao Yuan persuaded the former enemies to fight side by side with the Great Qin soldiers.
The addition of the Assassin Slave not only allowed the Great Qin Army to gain a vast strategic depth, but also provided a steady stream of troops for the Great Qin Army, providing a huge amount of materials, and the war horses of the Great Qin Empire were almost all provided by the Assassin Slaves, and even the archers of the Great Qin Empire were also trained by the Assassin Slaves.
Now, the fierce and fierce Assassins have become a nightmare for the Crusaders, because their riding and archery skills are not inferior to those of the Crusaders, and even surpassed.
Zhao Yuan single-handedly rebelled against the Russians, which also far exceeded the expectations of the Crusaders.
In the eyes of the crusaders, the Great Qin people let the Orrs lose their country, and this hatred is not deep, but Zhao Yuan made a miraculous reversal and let the Orrs work for him......
