wicked immortal

Chapter 712 Take the initiative

"I'm not afraid to tell everyone that although the Zhenshui Pass is located in an important location and the waterways extend in all directions, in fact, this is just an isolated city. We have no reinforcements, no food..."

"Isn't Zhenshui Pass full of food?" A practitioner asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, there is a lot of food in Zhenshuiguan. If you save some food, it will not be a problem until next year's autumn harvest, but the question is, what will we eat after next year's autumn harvest? Now, the Crusaders' rangers have completely controlled the suburbs , farmers can’t work, even if the crops are planted, whether the Crusaders will allow us to harvest is still a problem. , Zhenshui Pass will be broken by itself..."

There was an audible silence.

When Zhao Yuan raised this question, people realized the seriousness of the matter.

There are fertile farmlands around Zhenshuiguan, but as long as you go out of the city, it is the territory of the Crusaders, which means that you can't grow crops at all.

Now, more than 90.00% of the territory of the Great Qin Empire is occupied by the Crusaders, which also means that it is impossible to wait for foreign aid at Zhenshuiguan. As for the emperor of Heishui City, he is thousands of miles away from here. After half a year, the daylilies were cold when the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty from Heishui City came to kill them.

"Now, there is only one way, and that is to take the initiative to attack and expand the living space of Zhenshuiguan!" Zhao Yuan paused every word.

"General, we are all rough people and don't know the art of war. In a word, if you tell us to go east, we will never go west!"

"That's right, the general's strategy is amazing. If there is any way to talk about it, just leave it to us."

"..."

The crowd was chattering again, swearing to show their loyalty, wishing to dig out their own hearts and show Zhao Yuan.

"I don't know if you have noticed it? This huge Zhenshui Pass is located in an important place, and the area under its jurisdiction is hundreds of miles away. Such a military town has only a mere [-] defenders. What does this mean? It means that the Crusaders The supply of soldiers is tense. Think about it. Our Great Qin Empire has a vast territory and a population of hundreds of millions. Let alone a million crusaders, even if we double the number of crusaders, we cannot hold every city. The advantage of the crusaders is their mobility. The attack is strong, but they don't have enough manpower to defend the breached city, so we have an opportunity..."

People's eyes light up.

The reason Zhao Yuan said is very simple. Using the ability of people in the world and cultivators to come and go, use Zhenshuiguan as the radiation center to recover some surrounding towns, and then rely on the towns to expand the scope of activities of the Crusaders and cavalry. Gradually shrinking, taking advantage of the population and resources, bit by bit the territory occupied by the Crusaders.

The biggest advantage of the people in the Jianghu and cultivators is that this is the territory of the Great Qin Empire, with a huge population resource, and the Crusaders, if they kill one, they will lose one, and if they kill a pair, they will lose one pair. If things go on like this, the Crusaders will be wiped out In the art of the sea of ​​people.

At the beginning, when the Crusaders invaded the Great Qin Empire, they had millions of troops, attacking the city and occupying land all the way. However, as the occupied land became more and more extensive, the Crusaders' weaknesses were exposed. This time Bafang City and Zhenshui Pass The fall of the Crusaders clearly revealed the difficulties faced by the Crusaders.

If it was at the beginning, at most a few days, the army would have already reached the Zhenshui Pass, but now, it has been nearly a month since the fall of Bafang City, and the mobilization of the Crusaders has not yet been completed. It shows that the mobilization of the Crusaders' troops is no longer as easy as before...

……

Cultivators and heroes of the rivers and lakes were excited by the blueprint drawn by Zhao Yuan, each of them was gearing up, eager to go to the battlefield immediately.

After some discussion, Zhao Yuan set his first target at the Liujiao Pavilion downstream of Zhenshui Pass.

Hexagonal Pavilion is not a pavilion, but a place name.

Liujiaoting is a small town with a population of less than [-]. It is located [-] miles downstream of Zhenshuiguan. According to the information provided by the soldiers at Zhenshuiguan, there are only [-] cavalry stationed in Liujiaoting.

Two thousand cavalry!

This is a quantity that is neither too much nor too little.

Difficulty appeared on the faces of the people, especially the cultivators, who fell into silence, but instead, a group of characters and martial artists were ready to move.

Looking at the expressions of the cultivators, Zhao Yuan immediately understood.

In the Great Qin Empire, cultivators seldom directly participated in secular wars. Even if there were cultivators serving for the imperial court, they only fought against the opposing generals and would never massacre ordinary soldiers with flying sword spells.

In the world of comprehension, many comprehensionists often kill innocent people indiscriminately, killing people for profit. However, no matter how evil they are, they will also pretend to be hypocritical, cover their ears and steal their bells, and are unwilling to join the army to massacre soldiers. One step, unscrupulous cultivators like Caixia Fairy are rare, and it is precisely because Caixia Fairy does her own way that she has become a character on the list of villains.

After understanding what was going on, Zhao Yuan immediately promised to send [-] soldiers to fight together, led by warriors and figures from the rivers and lakes, and the cultivators only need to cooperate from the outside to disrupt the morale of the Crusaders.

After receiving Zhao Yuan's promise, the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

If they only cooperate on the periphery and don't need to face ordinary soldiers, the cultivators will naturally not shirk.

Cultivators don't kill soldiers on the battlefield, but it doesn't mean that they don't kill people, but the way of killing is different. For example, there is nothing wrong with killing an enemy general. In addition, when a Cultivator kills ordinary soldiers, the most fearful thing is to use power Huge flying swords and other weapons, because mortals have no ability to resist these weapons in the cultivation world, this forms a massacre in a sense, and it is likely to trigger a catastrophe.

If a cultivator uses physical power to kill people without spiritual energy, naturally it will not cause a catastrophe.

Warriors like the Four Heavenly Gods can kill enemies on the battlefield because the martial arts they practice are all primitive powers possessed by human beings.

Of course, when the power of a warrior reaches a certain level, it will also cause a catastrophe. However, most warriors who can trigger a catastrophe are about to ascend, and usually will not participate in the war of the secular world...

……

Zhao Yuan selected a group of people.

Two hundred masters.

Among the 200 people, there are twenty cultivators, sixteen warriors, and the rest are all heroes.

It is worth mentioning that it was not these 200 people who led [-] Qin soldiers to raid the Liujiao Pavilion. After all, they were all reckless heroes and had never led troops to fight.

Zhao Yuan arranged for 5000 real soldiers to divide the 5000 people into groups of ten. These [-] soldiers are either active soldiers or retired soldiers, all of whom have rich experience in military operations, so that the [-] people will not become a mob .

In order to ensure the safety of this operation, Zhao Yuan equipped 5000 people with a large number of crossbows, and the weapons were also configured according to the standards of the Great Qin Empire.

The opponent has only 2000 people, but those 2000 people are all cavalry, and the advantage in numbers is meaningless.

The best way to deal with cavalry is to die. Once they escape and make a comeback, it will be a huge disaster.

There is no need to question the horror of the lethality of the cavalry. Even if a cavalry team of hundreds of people escapes, it can defeat 5000 infantry. Therefore, this operation can only succeed, not fail.

Two hundred masters plus five thousand soldiers armed to the teeth, can be said to have an absolute advantage against two thousand light cavalry. After all, five thousand soldiers are equipped with bows and crossbows.

Tu Laoer, the supreme leader of this army raid force.

When the sun was about to set, Zhao Yuan, Lan Cai'er, and some sharp archers from Zhenshui Pass all boarded the tower to hunt down the crusader rangers moving around, and even sent a small group of sharp archers to attack on horseback. This kind of small-scale and high-intensity attack made the Crusader rangers no longer dare to approach Zhenshui Pass unscrupulously.

In order to cause psychological pressure on the Crusaders, Yunhai Golden Eagle and Guards Monkey were also sent out.

Absolutely not to leak the news.

Without the Sea of ​​Clouds Golden Eagle, Zhao Yuan would not be able to completely block the news. After all, the opponent's black-winged Kunpeng was still moving around, and with the Sea of ​​Clouds Golden Eagle out, those black-winged Kunpeng would not dare to approach Zhenshui Pass...

Night falls.

Under the cover of the night, two hundred masters and five thousand soldiers of the Great Qin Empire sneaked out of the city under the cover of the golden eagle in the sea of ​​clouds and the monkey against the sky.

If he walked to the Liujiao Pavilion on foot, he might not be able to arrive at dawn tomorrow. Even if he did, he would be exhausted, so Zhao Yuan finally chose to take a boat.

At Zhenshui Pass, there were many large ships passing by. Tu Laoer had contacted two large ships long ago. In order to deceive others, the boarding place was not at the pier, but at an abandoned natural port downstream of the pier.

Take a boat from Zhenshuiguan, go down the river, and arrive at the Liujiao Pavilion, just at dawn, and at that time, it is also the time when the human spirit relaxes.

Now, the most important thing is to make sure to arrive at the Liujiao Pavilion silently. Once the target is exposed, it will be a catastrophe.

Although the two cargo ships are large, it is still difficult to carry more than 5000 fully armed people. People are crowded together like sardines, with their chests attached to their backs, densely packed...
