After receiving information about the arrival of a large number of Crusaders infantry, Zhao Yuan suddenly realized a problem.
It's not that General Gore has no way to deal with him. He doesn't care about the gains and losses of the city of Zhenshuiguan. His target is very clear, Heishui City, because the emperor is in Heishui City. As long as the emperor is captured, the Qin Empire will be destroyed.
.
Although the emperor is only a little emperor, he has an unparalleled spiritual symbolism. As long as the little emperor lives, the Qin Empire will still exist.
There is no doubt that General Gore is going all out to deal with Guo Ax. Once Blackwater City falls, it will be his turn to Zhao Yuan.
Originally, Zhao Yuan hoped that Zhenshui City could contain the Crusaders, but Gore simply ignored him and still concentrated his superior forces to besiege Blackwater City, which meant that Zhao Yuan's containment plan failed.
At present, Zhenshuiguan seems to be prosperous, but Zhao Yuan knows very well that this is just an illusion.
As for the shortage of soldiers in the Crusaders, the phenomenon will soon be alleviated. Once the large-scale Crusaders infantry rushes to the interior of the Qin Empire and has sufficient military power, those lost towns will soon fall to the Crusaders.
in hands.
Relying on guerrilla warfare to regain the huge Qin country is nothing more than a dream.
If you want to defeat the Crusaders, you still need to defeat them on the frontal battlefield. Although this small-scale tactic can boost morale, it has a negligible impact on the entire battle situation.
It seems that my "kingly way" still needs to be cultivated.
Zhao Yuan sighed.
According to the description of "Ten Thousand Enemies", the realm of "Kingdom" is a transition from tactics to strategy, but I actually wasted more than three months at this Zishui Pass, which is simply unforgivable.
Abandon the Shuishui Pass?
A crazy idea arose in Zhao Yuan's mind, but it was fleeting.
Zhenshuiguan is not Bafang City. If Zhenshuiguan is abandoned, not only will the efforts of these three months be in vain, but it will also cause a huge mental blow to the soldiers and civilians of the Qin Empire.
How can we get out of this predicament?
Faced with this problem, Zhao Yuan thought about it for three days, but could not find a perfect solution.
Now, the Crusaders have chosen a siege attitude toward Zhenshuiguan, neither suppressing it too hard nor giving Zishuiguan too much room for movement.
At present, because Zhao Yuan's victory at Zhenshuiguan has inspired countless people with lofty ideals to rise up, the resistance battle is in full swing in the Qin Empire. It has indeed played a diversionary role and caused huge pressure on the Crusaders. However,
This pressure is not as great as it seems on the surface. In fact, the Crusaders still control the military fortresses and large cities of the Qin Empire.
The resistance of the people of the Qin Empire actually strengthened the military structure of the Crusaders. They gave up some sparsely populated small towns with vast areas, and instead gathered in large cities, forming an unshakable military force.
The most important thing is that after the Crusaders abandoned small towns, their mobility increased exponentially.
Facing the resistance of the Qin Empire, the Crusaders still concentrated their superior forces and relied on their absolutely superior intelligence power. Once they discovered a small gathering of people in a small town, the Crusaders' cavalry would immediately rush towards the local area like a hurricane...
…
Although the development of Zhenshuiguan is obvious to all, the traffic arteries of Zhenshuiguan are blocked and there is a lack of military supplies. It is simply impossible to form a force to destroy the Crusaders in a short period of time.
Zhao Yuan conservatively estimated that even at the fastest development rate, it would take three to five years for Zhenshuiguan to develop a military industry capable of competing with the Crusaders.
Even if Zhao Yuan was given three to five years to develop, Zhao Yuan could at most have an invincible infantry team, but he would never be able to develop an invincible cavalry team, because Zhenshuiguan did not produce good horses at all.
Only the Or tribe and the Cinu prairie produce good horses, and now, after the Or empire was destroyed by the Qin Empire, it fell into the hands of the Crusaders.
Although Cinu did not fall, because the Great Qin Empire controlled Cinu for a short period of time, when the Great Qin Empire collapsed thousands of miles away, the Cinu clan was also waiting and watching, and Shanyu was still waiting for Zhao Yuan. Without Zhao Yuan's commitment
Before, there would never be any action.
In addition, even if Ci Nu fully supports Zhao Yuan, Ci Nu's good horses cannot be transported all the way to Zhenshuiguan...
…
Through countless analyses, Zhao Yuan has concluded that it is impossible for Zhenshuiguan to develop into a subversive military force.
Unless, let the cultivators go on a killing spree...
It is completely unimaginable for cultivators to be completely loyal to the Qin Empire at all costs. Even if there are cultivators involved in the war, Zhao Yuan cannot expect them to kill the enemy with swords on the battlefield.
.
In fact, it was not just the cultivators who were unwilling to do this, but even Zhao Yuan himself was trying his best to restrain the urge to kill his enemies personally.
Although Zhao Yuan's catastrophes were no longer as frequent as before, their power was getting stronger and stronger. When he had a choice, Zhao Yuan still tried his best to avoid excessive killings that would trigger catastrophes.
A long time ago, Zhao Yuan always thought that the heavenly tribulation was a restriction set by a god. It was not until he visited the earth that Zhao Yuan realized that the heavenly tribulation was not controlled by gods.
The gods have escaped the blow of the natural disaster, but they cannot control the natural disaster. The natural disaster is completely born from nature. Its appearance is a means of balancing power according to the laws of nature.
If you want to use cultivators on a large scale to fight, unless the opponent also uses a large scale of cultivators.
In the history of cultivation, cultivators have participated in countless human wars. However, these were only when both sides were evenly matched, or when both sides had large-scale cultivators participating.
At present, the Crusade is still dominated by human warriors. There are not many cultivators in an army, and it is far from reaching the point where a battle breaks out between cultivators.
Let’s break this situation!
Standing on the city tower, Zhao Yuan frowned and looked at the vast plain with deep eyes, like an eternal sculpture.
For the current Zhao Yuan, it is not difficult to lead an army to win several battles. The problem is that winning a few battles will not benefit the entire Qin Empire's predicament at all. Instead, it will waste people and money and weaken the current military strength of Zhenshuiguan.
strength.
What the Crusaders' rangers most want to see is for the troops at Zhenshuiguan to leave the city for an expedition. As long as they leave the city, the Crusaders will have countless ways to weaken the strength of Zhenshuiguan.
At present, the occasional military actions taken by Zhenshuiguan are all about mobilizing overwhelmingly superior troops, using blitzkrieg tactics to quickly defeat the unscrupulous rangers, blowing the opponent's arrogance, and then immediately retreating behind the majestic city wall of Zhenshuiguan.
.
There is no doubt that the Great Qin army at Zhenshuiguan still has an absolute military advantage. However, this advantage is only maintained within a few dozen miles of Zhenshuiguan. If it is further away, it will be beyond the reach of the whip.
What makes Zhao Yuan happy is that the Crusaders still have not assembled a large-scale army, which means that the Crusaders have no plan to attack the city. At least Zhenshuiguan is safe for the time being...
Is it safe for now?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan's tiger body trembled.
A crazy plan swirled in Zhao Yuan's mind...
Zhao Yuan thought of the Earth's empty city plan.
What if we staged an empty city plan in Zhenshuiguan?
Zhao Yuan's eyes shone with scorching light, and the blood in his veins began to boil like the Yangtze River.
Of course, Zhao Yuan's empty city strategy is not Zhuge Liang's empty city strategy. His empty city strategy is just to sneak into Heishui City quietly.
Since the Crusaders have not yet planned to take large-scale military operations against Zhenshuiguan, Zhao Yuan can quietly rush to Cinu when the golden cicada escapes from its shell, reach an agreement with Cinu Shanyu, and then go to Heishui City to wield
The troops went straight down, echoing the Zhenshuiguan Pass, destroying the Crusaders' military power in one fell swoop...
…
Zhao Yuan is a decisive person. He never delays in doing things. After having this idea, he immediately started to make plans.
Zhao Yuan is undoubtedly the soul of Zhenshuiguan. If Zhao Yuan leaves Zhenshuiguan, the morale of the army will be shaken. Once the Crusaders learn that Zhao Yuan has left Zhenshuiguan, they will definitely attack the city as soon as possible.
If you want to leave without any worries, you must make the soldiers and civilians of Zhenshuiguan and the Crusaders believe that Zhao Yuan is still stationed in Zhenshuiguan.
Zhao Yuan did something and sent Lan Cai'er away in public.
Sending Lan Cai'er away is the first step of the plan, because Lan Cai'er's current identity is extremely important. She is not only Zhao Yuan's confidante, but also a representative figure of Shan Yu. Therefore, Lan Cai'er must fight with Zhao Yuan.
After leaving Zhenshuiguan, if Lan Cai'er suddenly disappeared, it would definitely arouse some people's speculation, so let Lan Cai'er take the first step.
