Dawn shrouded the entire Bafang City in a mysterious veil.
The Crusader cavalry had already been out scouting the area to collect intelligence.
Information was continuously transmitted to Rom's temporary camp from all directions.
Rom came out of the tent and stood at the door.
Sunrise.
The sunrise in the hinterland of the Qin Empire is the most majestic and magnificent... Suddenly a thin parabola rises from the dark blue clouds. This line is red and translucent, shining with golden light, like a boiling solution splashing up, and then like
A rocket keeps shooting upwards.
Although Rom looked up at the sky, he was not in the mood to watch this magnificent sunrise because he was thinking.
Something is wrong.
This Bafang City has a mysterious atmosphere.
What makes Rohm most incomprehensible is that some soldiers riding black-winged Kunpeng seem to have disappeared out of thin air. So far, he has not received any information from the air.
During the war for more than a year, Rom was very aware of the importance of aerial intelligence. The Crusaders were able to defeat the fierce soldiers of the Qin Empire, which was entirely due to their understanding of the dynamics of the Qin Empire's army. They were often able to exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and concentrate superior forces to strike.
If the opponent loses the advantage of the Black-winged Kunpeng and the two armies confront each other, I really don’t know who will win. After all, the army of the Great Qin Empire is not easy to mess with, especially those warriors. Their combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying, and each of them has ten thousand men.
Mo Di Zhang Yang, just by killing the three great gods of the Qin Empire, the Crusaders lost many masters.
What conspiracy will the other party have?
Rohm knew Zhao Yuan very well. He knew that Zhao Yuan was extremely thoughtful and made almost no major mistakes during his life on the run.
There is no doubt that this is a powerful opponent.
Rohm was convinced that no matter how powerful Zhao Yuan was, he would never be able to use hundreds of thousands of refugees to fight against his elite Crusader cavalry who were armed to the teeth.
From Roma's point of view, this time it was not a matter of luck between him and Zhao Yuan, because he had an absolute advantage.
Perhaps many people don't know what fifty thousand cavalry is.
In the battles of the past year, there were countless cases where a cavalry force of several thousand soldiers of the Heavenly Crusaders defeated tens of thousands of Qin Empire soldiers.
While Rom was thinking, at the same time, Zhao Yuan was also thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the Crusaders compared to the Qin Empire army, because if he wanted to regain the Qin River and Mountains, it would be useless to just rely on Zhao Yuan's bravery.
The main force of the Crusaders was the rangers, that is, light cavalry, with one person, two or three horses, mobility, and super endurance. They often used drag-and-fight tactics against large corps. The main force of the Qin Empire was the infantry squadron, which was good at frontal attacks.
The cavalry is mainly used for reconnaissance and the chariots are responsible for outflanking. In frontal decisive battles, the Crusaders will attack frontally and use drag to harass. In the past year, millions of troops in the Qin Empire were dragged to death in this way, and heavy cavalry was given to light cavalry.
Drag to death. The Qin army has no chance of winning in a decisive battle in the wild. What's more, because of the black-winged Kunpeng, the Crusaders have an asymmetric advantage in mastering intelligence.
Facing the Crusaders' superiority, it was almost impossible for the Qin Empire to defeat the Crusaders.
unless……
Unless dragging is also used.
The most advantageous way for the Qin Empire is to use the city as a stronghold to bring in, outflank, and then use mobile troops to raid the base and use the country's resources to consume Mongolia.
The problem is that now that the Qin Empire has completely fallen, it is no longer feasible to use cities as strongholds to introduce outflanks.
Putting aside other reasons, the Qin Empire had obvious strategic advantages. It had great national potential, richer resources, a large population, great strategic depth, and higher war potential.
In Zhao Yuan's view, the Great Qin Empire almost collapsed due to too many reasons, both institutional and military. The root problem was the inherent disadvantage of the farming people against the nomads. After losing its vast territory, the Great Qin Empire became even more
It is impossible to form a cavalry force that can compete with it.
Thinking of cavalry, Zhao Yuan thought of Earth's powerful military industry. There is no doubt that the Crusaders' light cavalry is no different from Earth's armored vehicles, and the heavy cavalry is equivalent to tanks.
Now, the Great Qin Empire has lost its strategic depth, and it is no longer possible to form a large-scale cavalry for confrontation. The only reliance is the hundreds of millions of subjects of the Great Qin Empire.
If the Great Qin Empire is full of wars, then no matter how powerful the Crusaders are, they will not be able to hold off the ants and kill the elephants.
The problem is that it is not easy to get the people of the Qin Empire to participate in the battle against the Crusaders!
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Yuan's mouth.
No one knows the people better than Zhao Yuan, because he has spent a long time in Wanjiadongyuan. For the people at the bottom of society, they don't care who rules whom, as long as they have a bowl of food to eat.
In fact, the interests of the ruling class have nothing to do with the people at the bottom. It is precisely for this reason that when the Qin Empire was defeated, not many people in the empire stood up to resist.
unless……
Zhao Yuan thought of "unless" again.
Unless the Crusaders went against the grain and adopted iron-blooded tyranny, making the people of the Qin Empire feel the crisis. When life and death were at stake, countless people with lofty ideals would naturally dare to stand up and resist.
Even Zhao Yuan, whose forte was incitement, felt it was a bit unreliable to let the people of the Qin Empire spontaneously resist.
Currently, Zhao Yuan believes that the only chance for the Qin Empire to turn defeat into victory is to assassinate the slaves.
Because the Ci Nu are also a people on horseback, Zhao Yuan subconsciously looked back and glanced at Lan Cai'er, who was bathing in the golden sun. Lan Cai'er, who was wearing a bathrobe, was formed into an extremely beautiful figure by the golden sunshine.
silhouette of...
…
Finally, the first ray of sunlight broke through the darkness.
Rom looked at Bafang City bathed in the golden sunshine. On the top of Bafang City stood a young man with golden armor and long hair.
Zhao Yuan.
The undefeated god of war.
Rom's cold gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, and a raging fighting spirit boiled in the air.
Almost at the same time, Zhao Yuan's deep gaze also fell on Rom.
Although the two were miles apart, they seemed to be close at hand.
Roma is murderous.
Zhao Yuan smiled.
Why is he laughing?
Could it be that I fell into a trap?
Looking at the young man with golden armor and long hair standing on the city wall like a mountain, Rom was puzzled. He thought of countless possibilities, but he could not think of any way that Zhao Yuan could defeat him.
Theoretically, as long as you stand still and take advantage of the rangers, the opponent will not be able to cause harm to him even if his tactics are against the heavens.
In a sense, as long as Roma does not forcefully attack the city, it is already in an invincible position.
Inexplicably, Roma showed a trace of anxiety on his face.
In the past, this situation would never have happened to Roma, because the Crusaders knew the Qin Empire's troop movements very well. However, now, the black-winged Kunpeng has lost its role, and all the scouts sent out have been lost.
Traces.
The Crusaders knew nothing about Bafang City, just like a blind man trying to grasp an elephant. This was a phenomenon that had never occurred in previous battles with the Qin Empire's troops, and it also made Rohm feel extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of horse hooves.
Under the morning sun, Rom saw the scouts running towards him in panic. Vaguely, Rom had a bad premonition.
"General, General..." The cavalryman turned over and dismounted from his horse dozens of feet away, and rolled and crawled in front of Rom to report.
Click!
Rom's scimitar suddenly pulled out half of it, revealing the bright and sharp blade.
"General, the embankment of Huangshi Reservoir from Bafang City has been dug, and the flood will soon reach Bafang City." The soldier shuddered and reported quickly.
"What... the Yellowstone Reservoir burst its banks..."
"Oops……"
"..."
Before Rom could speak, a group of generals behind him had already turned into a mess.
"Anyone who shakes the morale of the military will be killed without mercy."
brush!
Rom shouted loudly, unsheathed his scimitar, and the sharp scimitar drew a bright line in the air. Finally, the line fell on the soldier's neck. Just as the soldier was about to open his mouth to speak, the head had already fallen to the ground, and a pair of big eyes appeared.
Staring blankly at the sky, his eyes never closed.
There was a commotion in the distance. Apparently, the water from the Yellowstone Reservoir had approached the camp.
There was a suffocating silence around Rom.
No one dared to challenge Röhm's authority. In the eyes of the Crusaders' generals, Röhm was not an army leader, but a criminal who regarded life as nothing. However, no one dared to say it.
"Don't panic, everyone. The water level in Huangshi Reservoir is not high. Moreover, Bafang City has a flat and vast terrain. It is impossible for a small Huangshi Reservoir to submerge Bafang City. Soldiers, please do not mess up your position and fall into the enemy's scheme. In addition,
, Bafang City is lower than where we are, if the Crusaders are to be flooded, Bafang City will be flooded first."
"General Rohm is right. Our mathematician Gauss said that even if all the water in the Yellowstone Reservoir is released, it will only flood up to the horse's legs."
"Hahaha...it's just the position of a horse's legs."
"It turns out that Gauss already knew it."
"..."
When Gauss was mentioned, a group of generals breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally solemn atmosphere became much more relaxed. People even joked with each other.
Even if the water floods Bafang City, the Crusaders will still have an absolute advantage, because the Crusaders are all cavalry, and the horses they ride are all tall horses. If Gauss said that the water would only flood the horses' legs, it would never flood them.
Horse belly.
In heaven, people have an almost blind worship of the mathematical genius Gauss.
The water gradually submerged under Bafang City.
Rohm's high-pressure methods combined with the persuasiveness of Gauss's words, the originally turbulent Crusaders have stabilized, and the soldiers began to retreat to higher ground in a planned way...
As the riot gradually subsided, Rom stared at the young man with long hair and golden armor on top of the city tower.
Rom is thinking in his shoes.
Roma needs to figure out the other party's intentions.
Why would the other party do something that harms others but does not benefit oneself? You know, digging up the Yellowstone Reservoir will not do any good to Bafang City...
