Abandon Tongzhou City!

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

This Tongzhou city was captured after hard work and tens of thousands of bloody sons of the Qin Dynasty died. No one can understand that if you give up, you just give up.

Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge knows that capturing a city can take as short as a few days, as long as a few months, or even a few years. In a flat hinterland like the Great Qin Empire, a city is an indestructible fortress. As long as you occupy this city, you can control the range of a hundred miles.

Cities played a very significant role in military defense in the era of cold weapons. Like Zhenshui Pass, even though it fell into the hands of Zhao Yuan, the Crusaders did not dare to send troops to attack without full confidence, because attacking a strong city would not be easy. Not only does it require a military force that is several times that of the defender, but it also needs to take into account all the risks after failure.

Now, Tongzhou has fallen into the hands of the Daqin army, which makes the people rejoice. There is really no reason to give up. Besides, the distance between Tongzhou and Zhenshui Pass is only 150 miles. .

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

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

From the moment Tongzhou City was breached, the worship of Zhao Yuan by the army and the people of Daqin has become unbelievably fanatical.

No one will object to any military action Zhao Yuan decides. Now, what Zhao Yuan needs to do is to convince everyone.

In fact, Zhao Yuan didn't need to discuss at all. However, Zhao Yuan's goal was to establish a constitutional monarchy. This kind of discussion itself was the embryonic form of a system.

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

After Zhao Yuan listened to the opinions of all parties, he began to express his own views.

"Everyone, take a look at this map!" Zhao Yuan got up and walked to the huge map, "This is Tongzhou City. With Tongzhou City as the center, there are more than 30 large and small towns within a radius of [-] miles. Among them, there are three large cities. We don't know how many crusaders are stationed in these cities, but what is certain is that in these cities, the crusaders stationed in Juzizhou alone will far surpass Daqin in Tongzhou City. army……"

"General, it's freezing cold today. Could it be that the Crusaders will travel long distances to attack Tongzhou City?" a senior Daqin officer asked.

"Since we can travel long distances to attack Tongzhou City in this bad weather, why can't the Crusaders, they still have horses. Please remember, never underestimate the willpower of the enemy!"

"Yes, General." The senior officer showed a trace of shame on his face.

"If Tongzhou City is intact, then there is no problem for us to stick to Tongzhou City. The problem is that the current Tongzhou City has been destroyed by blood bulls. Freezing, it is impossible to repair the damaged city wall in a short time, which means that the city wall of Tongzhou City has lost its defensive function, so once the Crusaders cavalry arrives at Tongzhou City..."

Zhao Yuan paused for a moment, and his deep gaze scanned the faces of everyone.

Inexplicably, everyone fought a cold war.

If the Crusader cavalry really came to kill them, there would be more than a few tens of thousands of Daqin soldiers.

"General, we still have blood bulls to help out!" Tu Laoer reminded.

"Yes, we still have blood bulls with terrifying combat values. They are invincible and invincible, but don't forget, blood bulls will not help humans defend the city walls and fight. Their greatest role is to conquer the strong The fortress opened the way for the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty. Think about it, if thousands of Crusader rangers harass around Tongzhou City in turn, will the blood bull have any effect?"

"..."

The crowd fell silent for a while.

Indeed, as Zhao Yuan said, the horror of blood bulls lies in their powerful destructive power. Their destructive power is fierce, but the number is too small. The cavalry is flexible and agile. If you chase the Crusader rangers on the wasteland, you will probably return without success.

This time in the capture of Tongzhou City, the Blood Bulls were able to play a role, mainly because the Crusaders were on the defensive, and the passive defense allowed the Crusaders to gather a large number of cavalry, which made the Blood Bulls charge to the extreme. If the battle line is stretched, the blood savage bull becomes dispensable. At most, it is to stimulate the morale of the soldiers of the Great Qin and inspire the hearts of the people. The actual effect can be ignored.

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

The blood bulls don't like winter, and the long-time running consumes a lot of blood bulls' physical strength, which greatly increases the blood bulls' food intake. In Tongzhou City, there is simply not enough food for more than 500 blood bulls to consume for a long time. They still have to stay in the world of Lingtai most of the time, and it is impossible to assist the soldiers of Daqin in fighting for a long time.

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

Giving up seemed to be the only option.

Now, everyone has no objection to abandoning Tongzhou City, but is concerned about the whereabouts after abandoning Tongzhou City.

"Orange Island!" Zhao Yuan paused.

"what……"

"Orange Island!"

"..."

……

People have different expressions, some are shocked, some are dull, and some are incredulous.

Juzizhou is the Zhenshui Pass, not Tongzhou City. It is a huge city, the largest city in the hinterland of the Great Qin Empire. In the history of the Great Qin Empire, Juzizhou used to be the capital, and its scale can be imagined.

Apart from the fact that Juzizhou is a super city comparable to the imperial capital, the most important thing is that if you attack Juzizhou, it will run counter to the direction of Heishui City.

Originally, everyone thought that Zhao Yuan would attack in the direction of Heishui City with his army, fight until he joined forces with the army of Heishui City, and then move his army straight down to recover Daqin Heshan.

Judging from Zhao Yuan's current military actions, he never thought of joining forces with Heishui City at all, but set up another battlefield to hold back the Crusaders in the hinterland of the Qin Dynasty for the army of Heishui City.

"We only have tens of thousands of people now. Even if we hurry up to recruit troops, the maximum number is 2. We have captured more than [-] leather war horses this time. However, it will take time to form a battle." Tu Laoer is famous for his boldness. , However, he was also shocked by Zhao Yuan's madness, and said with a wry smile.

"We have blood bulls!" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Blood bull!

Everyone was shocked.

The herd of blood bulls is not big, so they are not suitable for defending the city, but they are the nemesis of the city. If there are blood bulls to assist in the battle, the towering city walls of Juzizhou can be captured without any effort.

"However, our military strength is still too thin!" A senior general of Daqin shook his head, expressing his opposition very clearly.

There are at least 20 Crusaders defending Juzizhou, and there are large-scale Crusaders stationed around it. As long as the battle is delayed a little, it only takes a few days for Juzizhou to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops.

Hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers, most of whom are infantry, are difficult to attack a super city with hundreds of thousands of defenders. It is conceivable that it cannot be handled by a few hundred bloody bulls.

In addition, the status of Juzizhou is similar to that of the imperial capital. The Crusaders will never give up. Even if they die in battle, they will fight the Qin army to the end. At that time, the Crusaders from all directions will rush to Juzi Continent, then, the helpless Great Qin army will fall into the quagmire of war and cannot extricate itself...

"Don't worry about this. Considering the issue of confidentiality, I won't announce it to you for the time being." Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "We're leaving the day after tomorrow, and there are still two days left. Everyone, it's better to recruit troops... Well, the Great Qin Empire Originally there were millions of troops, but after the defeat that year, many veterans lived in seclusion in the countryside, and when they were recruited, it was clearly announced that in the future the Great Qin Empire would be restored, and deserters would never be held accountable!"

"Yes, General!"
