Give up Tongzhou City!

When a group of high-ranking generals heard Zhao Yuan's words, they were all petrified.

This Tongzhou City, but after hard work, tens of thousands of Great Qin hot-blooded sons and daughters died before it was finally attacked, and it was said that if you give up, you will give up, and no one can understand it.

People with a little military knowledge know that the capture of a city can be as short as a few days, as long as months, or even for years, and a flat hinterland like the Great Qin Empire, a city is an impregnable fortress, as long as you occupy this city, you can control a radius of 100 miles.

The military defense role of the city in the era of cold weapons is very significant, like Zhenshui Pass, although it fell into the hands of Zhao Yuan, the crusaders did not dare to attack easily without full certainty, because attacking a strong city not only requires several times the military strength of the defender, but also takes into account all aspects of the risk after defeat.

Now, Tongzhou has fallen into the hands of the Great Qin army, which makes the people rejoice, and there is really no reason to give up, not to mention, Tongzhou and Zhenshui Pass are only one hundred and fifty miles apart, echoing each other from afar, which can form a psychological deterrent to the crusaders, so that the other party does not dare to act rashly.

However, although everyone was shocked, no one objected to Zhao Yuan's words.

In the Great Qin Army, Zhao Yuan had absolute prestige.

From the moment Tongzhou City was breached, the worship of Zhao Yuan by the soldiers and civilians of Great Qin had reached the point of incomprehensibility.

No one will oppose Zhao Yuan's decision on how to take military action, and now, what Zhao Yuan needs to do is to convince everyone.

In fact, there was no need for Zhao Yuan to negotiate, but Zhao Yuan's goal was to establish a constitutional monarchy, which was itself the prototype of a system.

Zhao Yuan hopes that the constitutional monarchy can start with him, and even if he has absolute decision-making power, he still hopes to create an atmosphere of free speech.

After listening to the opinions of all parties, Zhao Yuan began to express his views.

"Let's look at this map!" Zhao Yuan got up and walked to the side of the huge map, "This is Tongzhou City, with Tongzhou City as the center, within a radius of four hundred miles in diameter, there are more than 30 large and small towns, among them, there are three large cities, we don't know how many crusaders are stationed in these cities, but it is certain that in these cities, the crusaders stationed in Orange Island alone will far surpass the Great Qin army in Tongzhou City......"

"General, it's freezing cold, will the Crusaders travel a long way to capture Tongzhou City?" said a senior officer of Great Qin.

"Since we were able to travel long distances to storm the city of Tongzhou in this bad weather, the Crusaders could not do anything, they still had war horses. Remember, never underestimate the willpower of your enemies!"

"Yes, General. The senior officer's face showed a look of shame.

"If Tongzhou City is intact, then, we don't have any problem holding on to Tongzhou City, the problem is that the current Tongzhou City has been destroyed by the Blood Barbarian Bull A large section of the city wall, now the weather is freezing, the stones and bricks are frozen, if you want to repair the damaged city wall in a short time, it is impossible, which means that the city wall of Tongzhou City has lost its defensive role, then, once the Crusader cavalry arrives at Tongzhou City......"

Zhao Yuan paused, his deep gaze scanning over everyone's faces.

Inexplicably, everyone fought a cold war.

If the Crusader cavalry really kills them, tens of thousands of Great Qin soldiers are afraid that there will be more than one luck.

"General, we still have the Blood Barbarian Bull to help!" Tu Lao Er reminded.

"Yes, we also have the Blood Barbarian Bull with terrifying combat value, they are invincible and invincible, but don't forget, the Blood Barbarian Bull will not help humans to fight on the city wall, their biggest role is to conquer the strong fortress and open the way for the Great Qin soldiers to overcome obstacles. Think about it, if thousands of Crusader Rangers take turns harassing around Tongzhou City, will the Blood Barbarian Bull be useful?"

“......”

There was silence.

Indeed, as Zhao Yuan said, the horror of the Blood Barbarian Ox lies in its powerful destruction ability, their destructive power is fierce, but the number is too small, once dispersed, it will lose its effect, and they are not as flexible and agile as the Crusader Rangers, if they chase the Crusader Rangers in the wasteland, most of them will return in vain.

This time the capture of Tongzhou City, the Blood Barbarian Bull can play a role, the most important thing is that the Crusaders are on the defensive, and the passive defense allows the Crusader cavalry to gather a large number of together, which makes the charge of the Blood Barbarian Bull play to the extreme, if it is really a long battle line, the Blood Barbarian Bull will become dispensable, at most, that is, to stimulate the morale of the Daqin soldiers, inspiring, and the actual effect can be ignored.

Of course, there was another reason why Zhao Yuan didn't tell everyone.

The Blood Barbarian Cow does not like winter, and the long-term running consumes a lot of physical strength of the Blood Barbarian Cow, so that the food of the Blood Barbarian Cow has also greatly increased, Tongzhou City, there is simply not enough food for more than five hundred Blood Barbarian Cattle to consume for a long time, they still have to stay in the Lingtai World Realm most of the time, and it is impossible to assist the Great Qin soldiers in fighting for a long time.

When all the problems were put on the table, people found that Tongzhou City was a city that could not be defended at all.

Giving up seems to be the only option.

Now, everyone has no objection to giving up Tongzhou City, but is concerned about where to go after giving up Tongzhou City.

"Orange Island!" Zhao Yuan said word by word.

"Ah......h

"Orange Island!"

“......”

......

People had different expressions, some were shocked, some were sluggish, and some were incredible.

Orange Island is Zhenshui Pass, not Tongzhou City, it, but a giant city, is the largest city in the hinterland of Great Qin, in the history of the Great Qin Empire, Orange Island was once the capital, its scale can be imagined.

In addition to the fact that Orange Island is a super city comparable to the imperial capital, the most important thing is that if you attack Orange Island, it is equivalent to going against the direction of Blackwater City.

Originally, everyone thought that Zhao Yuan would wave his army to attack in the direction of Heishui City, until he joined forces with the army of Heishui City, and then waved his army straight down to recover the Great Qin River and Mountain.

Judging from Zhao Yuan's current military operations, he never thought of joining forces with Blackwater City, but opened up another battlefield to contain the crusaders in the hinterland of Great Qin for the army of Blackwater City.

"We only have tens of thousands of people now, even if we hurry up the conscription, the maximum is 100,000, and this time we have captured more than 20,000 horses, but it will take time to form a battle. Tu Lao Er was known for his boldness, but he was also shocked by Zhao Yuan's madness, and said with a wry smile.

"We have blood brute bulls!" Zhao Yuan smiled.

Blood Bull!

The crowd was shocked.

The Blood Barbarian Cattle herd is not large, and it is not suitable for defending the city, but they are the nemesis of the city, and if the Blood Barbarian Cattle help in the war, the towering walls of Orange Island can be captured without much effort.

"However, our troops are still too thin!" a senior general of Great Qin shook his head and expressed his opposition very clearly.

The crusader defenders of Orange Island have at least more than 200,000 troops, and there are large-scale crusaders stationed around it, as long as the battle drags on a little, it will only take a few days for Orange Island to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops.

100,000 Great Qin soldiers, and most of them are infantry, to attack a super city with hundreds of thousands of defenders, it is difficult, it can be imagined, it is definitely not a few hundred blood barbarian cattle can be done.

In addition, the status of Orange Island is similar to that of the imperial capital, and the Crusaders will never give up, even if they die in battle, they will carry it to the end with the Great Qin army, and when the time comes, the crusaders from all directions will continue to rush to Orange Island, then, the lone Great Qin army will fall into the quagmire of war and cannot extricate itself......

"Don't worry about this, considering the confidentiality issue, I won't announce it to you for the time being. Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "We will leave the day after tomorrow, there are still two days to go, everyone work hard, it is best to recruit soldiers...... Well, the Great Qin Empire originally had millions of troops, and after the rout that year, many veterans lived in seclusion in the countryside, and when they were conscripted, it was clearly announced, saying that in the future, the Great Qin Empire would be restored, and the deserters would never be held responsible!"

"Yes, General!"
