A rain of arrows like flying locusts shot from inside the city walls to the Great Qin infantry outside the city.

One by one, the Great Qin soldiers fell, and one by one the Great Qin soldiers were on top, and the huge gap that was flattened by the blood barbarian bull was rushed, and the Great Qin soldiers poured into it like a rolling torrent.

Just when Zhao Yuan climbed the city wall, the herd of bloody cattle also poured into the city.

The city of Tongzhou is narrow, naturally it is unable to accommodate hundreds of huge blood cattle charging at the same time, after entering the city, hundreds of blood cattle will be scattered, some are running wild on the city wall, some are running wild in the city.

The Blood Barbarian Bull itself is invulnerable, plus they don't love war at all, even if they encounter a master's interception, they just blindly collide, this way of fighting has caused huge casualties to the Crusader infantry.

In fact, casualties were secondary, and the greatest credit of the Blood Barbarian was to disrupt the defensive formation of the Crusader infantry.

Infantry is different from cavalry, cavalry is a mobile killing fortress even when it is alone, and infantry, pay attention to coordinated operations, once the formation is disrupted, falling into separate battles, it is equivalent to losing the advantage of infantry.

The entire city of Tongzhou was boiling.

Everywhere there were shouts of killing, billowing smoke obscured the sky and the sun, the flames burned everything, and the siege lasted less than a stick of incense, when the strong walls of the city were crushed by the bloody herds, and the gates were opened.

The war progressed to bloody and barbaric infantry battles.

The 50,000 elite Crusader cavalry outside the city had been scattered and routed by the Blood Barbarian Bull, and now, the 110,000 morale-boosting Great Qin infantry were facing the 50,000 terrified Crusader infantry.

110,000 against 50,000, the infantry of the Great Qin Empire already had an absolute advantage in numbers, while the Crusader infantry, the commander was killed, the morale was already low, and they were hit by the blood barbarian bull, and they had already been scattered, and after the Great Qin infantry rushed to the city wall, the whole line immediately collapsed.

Of course, at this time, the Great Qin army besieging the city had already lost a lot of manpower in the battle with the Crusader cavalry, but it had no impact on the siege.

In fact, the infantry of the Great Qin Empire was already brave in the world, and the 50,000 crusader cavalry were originally inferior to the Great Qin infantry in all aspects......

......

The Great Qin infantry followed Zhao Yuan's back and launched a bloody massacre.

For the first time, the infantry of the Great Qin Empire, who had suffered more than a year, raised their eyebrows so much, and killed the enemy bravely one by one, and all of a sudden, in the city of Tongzhou, the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the blood flowed like a river, and everywhere were the crusaders who lost their armor and abandoned their armor and the Great Qin infantry who were killing the sky.

The people of Daqin in Tongzhou City also took advantage of the fire to loot and joined the team of hunting the crusaders.

The originally arrogant and domineering crusaders were like rats crossing the street, no matter where they ran, someone would intercept them, even if they knelt down and surrendered, often with a knife in the neck.

The infantry of the Great Qin Empire killed the red-eyed, as long as they were wearing crusader armor, they were all targets.

This bloody massacre lasted for two hours before it ended.

After the battle, of the 50,000 Crusader infantry, less than 2,000 were captured, and the rest were all slaughtered.

Mutilated corpses are all over the snowy fields.

One night, the snowfield was littered with the screams of badly wounded Crusader soldiers and dying horses, and the next day, both wounded and dying horses froze to death and solidified into a moving gesture of pain.

In the first battle of Tongzhou, the Great Qin Empire won more with less, and won a complete victory, however, the 110,000 infantry were also severely damaged, and more than 30,000 soldiers died on the battlefield, more than 10,000 were wounded, and thousands were missing, almost half of which was lost in terms of combat effectiveness.

In fact, during the siege of the city, except for the initial rain of arrows that were shot and killed, most of the Great Qin soldiers were killed or injured in the battle with the Crusader cavalry, and when the infantry of the Great Qin Empire attacked the city wall, they almost did not encounter any resistance, and it became a one-sided massacre.

The infantry was already at a congenital disadvantage against the cavalry, even if it was the Great Qin cavalry with blood barbarian cattle and two thousand jade pieces, the battle between the infantry and the cavalry was still unimaginably fierce.

In fact, we can think about it, what is the concept of 50,000 crusader cavalry? 50,000 cavalry is not 50,000, but 50,000 killing machines riding tall horses, and the combat effectiveness of 50,000 cavalry is several times that of 110,000 infantry in terms of mobility and quantity.

Although the number of casualties in this battle is not large, its tragedy even exceeds the war when the crusaders captured the imperial capital, after all, when the imperial capital fell, the Great Qin infantry stood on the city wall to defend, and this time, the Great Qin infantry not only marched one hundred and fifty miles in a hurry, but also fought with the crusaders who had 50,000 cavalry and a steep city wall as a defense.

Historians have given high praise to this battle, believing that although the bloody cattle played a pivotal role in this battle, what is more important is the senseless courage and determination of the Great Qin infantry not to be afraid of death.

As you sit by the fire and drink hot mutton soup, you can't imagine what it's like to march on a treacherous snowfield on a cold and snowstormy night.

No one who has ever been on the battlefield can imagine how painful it must be to fight a Crusader cavalry on a tall horse with a short knife in his hand.

If an infantry wants to kill a cavalryman, it is not much easier than ascending to the sky, and a cavalryman, to kill an infantryman, just raise a long knife, with the impact of the war horse, with a slight wave of the arm, the infantry's head will fall to the ground, and blood will be spilled in the sky......

......

The crusaders in Tongzhou were severely devastated by almost all of them.

Of the 50,000 elite cavalry, no more than 10,000 escaped, and more than 40,000 cavalry all died on the battlefield, and more than 20,000 horses were captured.

In fact, the cruelty of this battle exceeded the statistics of the Great Qin military, because at least half of the thousands of crusader cavalry who fled were frozen to death in the wasteland.

On the winter night of the Great Qin Empire, if you don't make adequate preparations, it is normal to be frozen to death, and every winter, the Great Qin Empire doesn't know how many wanderers will freeze to death.

Zhao Yuan said that he wanted to make the big Qin soldiers in Tongzhou and mutton soup come true.

When the battle was over, Tongzhou City was not yet dark, and the banner of the Great Qin Empire was waving in the wind on Tongzhou City.

The victorious Great Qin soldiers drank a bowl of steaming broth.

Of course, the hot soup is not lamb soup, but horse meat.

In this battle, more than 20,000 war horses were killed, fortunately, it is winter, and the corpses of the war horses will not be corrupted and wasted, and can be saved as military food, which has improved the food of the Great Qin army......

......

That night, the gongs and drums of Tongzhou City shook the sky, and the red lanterns were hung high.

The people of Tongzhou sang and danced on the bloodstained streets.

Everywhere there were earth-shattering cheers and firecrackers.

Zhao Yuan has once again become a legend.

The villain Zhao Yuan is no longer a shame, but a supreme honor.

As Zhao Yuan patrolled the streets, thousands of people swarmed behind, chanting Zhao Yuan's name.

The soldiers of Daqin, who had suffered for more than a year, were welcomed by the people, and flowers, wine, and all kinds of food were continuously served, which flattered the soldiers and moved them to tears.

As a soldier, there is no more painful than losing the city and losing the land, and for more than a year, almost every Daqin soldier has been holding back his strength.

More than a year of humiliation has finally been washed away today.

While the soldiers were full of emotion, they looked at Zhao Yuan's gaze, full of fanatical awe.

There is no doubt that all the credit for this military victory in Tongzhou City belongs to Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan's status in the Zhenshui Pass army is like the sky, and some squires in Tongzhou City have expressed their loyalty to Zhao Yuan, and have donated countless military supplies, and they are very willing to go to the ground.

However, after inspecting Tongzhou City and boosting morale, Zhao Yuan did not accept the congratulations of the squires and celebrities, but held a meeting with a group of high-ranking generals in a room.

On the wall of the room, there is a huge military map, and the military map depicts in detail the important passes and cities near Tongzhou City.

Zhao Yuan sat on the top with a solemn face.

A group of high-ranking generals looked at the huge military map, and all of them had dull expressions on their faces.
