Chapter 816: The Great Qin War
Like Zhenwu, the Wuji Hall is overgrown with weeds and extremely desolate.
The crowd walked through the Taoist temples that stretched for miles, and there was a feeling of going back in time.
It is conceivable that this large-scale Taoist temple was at the peak of incense back then, and presumably, there were at least thousands of cultivators among them.
In the Honghuang area, even if it is the largest sect of cultivation, there are not thousands, hundreds, and there are very few disciples, most of them are more than a dozen people, and most of them are fifty or sixty people, and the buildings they live in, that is, a main hall and a few tiled houses, such a huge scale and a building complex that stretches for several miles, is simply unheard of.
Everyone found that although no one had come to this temple for a long time, there was nothing of value, and it seemed that this place had been searched many times.
"Brother Zhao, we should have arrived at the place of hiding the treasure described in the sheepskin map, how to find it?" Leng Qing asked.
"I don't know what to do. ”
Zhao Yuan found a big stone, spread out the sheepskin map, and carefully measured it.
According to the description of the parchment map, the treasure is nearby, but there are dilapidated Taoist temples all around, and there is no clue at all.
After all, in that inhospitable and desolate place, it is easy to find the clues of the treasure place as long as it takes a little time, and in this Taoist temple, there are traces of human activities everywhere, and it is much more difficult to find the treasure place, because it is impossible to demolish all the buildings and houses......
......
Just when Zhao Yuan and Long Zifei and a group of cultivators racked their brains to find the hidden treasure on the sheepskin map, the Great Qin Empire was in the middle of a war.
Zhenshuiguan and Tongzhou City, under the leadership of the Monkey Against the Heavens, launched a large-scale military operation.
When Zhao Yuan left, he left a good plan for the generals of Zhenshui Pass and Tongzhou City.
Attack.
Non-stop attack!
With the exception of Zhenshui Pass and Tongzhou City, the Great Qin Empire only blindly counterattacked some cities around Orange Island, but did not occupy them.
Because of the capture of a large number of war horses of the Crusaders, Zhenshui Pass and Tongzhou City also have a large number of cavalry.
In addition to the Great Qin cavalry who came and went like the wind, the most headache for the crusaders was the hundreds of monsters.
Above the Ice and Snow Wasteland, it is simply a paradise for youkai, who are not only hunting the Crusader scouts, but also hunting the Crusaders' black-winged Kunpeng on a large scale.
The official road between Zhenshui Pass and Tongzhou City has been completely opened, and then, through non-stop military operations, little by little encroached on the territory of Orange Island, many small towns were recovered by the Great Qin army, and some of the people of Great Qin also began to join the battalion to cooperate with the military operations of the Great Qin army.
The situation of the crusaders in Orange Island is precarious, because Zhao Yuan killed hundreds of thousands of crusaders in Tongzhou City, which not only caused a spiritual blow to the crusaders, but also a heavy military blow, because now the Great Qin Empire is dripping into ice in winter, and the supply of troops of the crusaders has become the biggest problem.
Orange Island is currently facing a number of problems, among which the most troublesome is Shou.
The army of Orange Island is no longer able to organize large-scale corps operations, but they have to intercept the crazy sneak attack of the anti-sky monkeys.
The defenders of Orange Island are now in a hurry......
......
The Crusaders in Blackwater City weren't having a good time either.
When General Changkong learned that Zhao Yuan had recovered Tongzhou City, his keen military talent immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
At this time, the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire had realized that the crusaders hated winter more than them.
If you wait for this cold winter to carry out a large-scale counteroffensive, by that time, the Crusaders will also recover.
On a snowy night, General Changkong personally led a large army to attack General Gore, and when the two armies were engaged in a bloody battle, Shan Yu, Qiu Xiaoworm, Guo Axe, and Yang Cheng led a group of generals, each leading 50,000 cavalry, bypassing General Gore's defense line and going deep into the hinterland of the Great Qin Empire.
If Zhao Yuan's battle at Zhenshui Pass and Tongzhou City formed a turning point, then the battle of Heishui City was a comprehensive counterattack by the Great Qin Empire.
For this full-front counterattack, historians have a very high evaluation of General Changkong, because General Changkong did not even consider the safety of himself and the emperor, and devoted all his military strength to carry out this military operation.
It is not an exaggeration to use "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat" and "fighting against the water" to describe General Changkong's determination for this battle, because Blackwater City almost poured out, and more than 200,000 Thorn Nu cavalry and hundreds of thousands of Great Qin cavalry and infantry were all thrown into this huge battle.
In the face of the all-out counterattack launched by the Great Qin Empire, General Gore did not have the slightest power to fight back, because, whether it was Shan Yu or Guo Axe, they were extremely fierce generals.
Hundreds of thousands of Great Qin troops, all the way like a bamboo, swept the remnants of the clouds, just a week, to recover dozens of cities, and General Gore, in order to avoid being cut off by the Great Qin army deep into the hinterland, decisively ended the tragic battle with General Changkong, lost his armor all the way, and fled to Baisha City.
Baisha City, six hundred miles away from Blackwater City.
The Great Qin army, which was overwhelming all the way, fought all the way to Baisha City, and then stopped, because, at this time, the battle line of the Great Qin Empire was too long, the supply line was too long, and the occupied cities also needed to be consolidated.
In this battle, the Great Qin army raised its eyebrows, not only killing the prestige of General Gore, but also seizing hundreds of miles of strategic depth for Blackwater City.
General Changkong, who was seriously injured and had not recovered, led a large army to kill until Baisha City, and formed a stalemate with General Gore again, however, unlike before, this time, it was not General Changkong who defended the city, but became General Gore.
General Changkong did not storm Baisha City, because Baisha City is a famous city through the ages, not only the city walls are impregnable, but the crusaders entrenched in it also exceed 200,000.
General Changkong, who has a deep understanding of the way of using troops, naturally knows that it is almost impossible to capture Baisha City in a short time, even if he captures Baisha City, it will be a defeat for both sides, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The most important thing is that the Great Qin army can no longer defeat the battle, so every decision made by General Changkong now is walking on thin ice!
This time, General Tsuneko adopted the tactics of the Crusaders - encirclement and reinforcements!
The most ingenious thing about encirclement and reinforcement is that the enemy surrounding a town uses it as bait to attract enemy reinforcements from other places, and its real purpose is to fight the reinforcing enemy and achieve the purpose of annihilating the reinforcement enemy.
The focus of General Changkong's encirclement and reinforcement is to send reinforcements, so the focus of troop deployment is the strength of reinforcements, and the amount of auxiliary forces that surround Baisha City.
The tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements dealt a heavy blow to the Crusaders near Baisha City, and every day, the number of Crusaders killed in battle was counted in thousands, and the morale of the Crusaders in Baisha City was low......
......
"General, although the cold winter of the Great Qin Empire is only more than a month, but the early spring after the cold winter is still cold, and the ice and snow are melting, the road is muddy, this Baisha City, although it is indestructible, but the grain and grass are insufficient, and the surrounding towns have also been broken by Daqin one by one, within a month, this Baisha City, I am afraid it will become a lonely city, and besides, Orange Island has been heavily damaged by Zhao Yuan, and the reinforcements are ......" A soldier looked at General Gore with a cold face, and cautiously proposed.
"It's okay, our reinforcements are coming!" said General Gore, with a strange smile on his face.
"Reinforcements?" the generals looked at each other.
"Prince Philip is here. ”
"Ah......h
All the generals were shocked, and their bodies trembled inexplicably.
