Chapter seven hundred and twentieth three chestnuts from the fire
In General Gore's camp, dozens of generals were sitting at attention.
General Gore looked proud.
In the more than a year of conquering the Great Qin Empire, General Gore has been going smoothly, destroying everything along the way. Even General Gore himself did not expect that the seemingly impregnable Great Qin Empire would be so vulnerable.
Originally, General Gore planned to occupy the entire Qin Empire in three years. As a result, the expected goal was achieved in just one year, and the plan was moved a full two years ahead of schedule. Along the way, the Crusaders encountered almost no decent resistance.
Millions of troops from the Qin Empire collapsed without any warning.
The success of the military operation made Gore overjoyed, but also made him anxious, because the operational plan was originally three years, but after it was greatly advanced, some shortcomings were exposed. First of all, General Gore encountered the problem of insufficient manpower.
General Gore's army is mainly composed of cavalry and supplemented by infantry. It is very fast and has a total number of more than one million. It is naturally difficult to occupy the huge country of the Qin Empire with a million troops.
The accident at Zhenshuiguan was actually expected by General Gore.
In fact, the Crusaders are now facing the dilemma of Shuishui Pass in the Great Qin Empire. The scattered troops have stretched the Crusaders' front line and are unable to take large-scale military operations. This has caused the troops that originally occupied towns to be compressed into big cities and had to be concentrated.
The superior military strength suppressed the raging resistance and prevented the Qin Empire from resurrecting.
Of course, all the problems will be solved soon, because millions of infantry are arriving in a steady stream on ships from the other side of the sea, and the first batch of 200,000 infantry will soon reach the territory of the Qin Empire
, as long as the early twenty infantrymen arrive, the Crusaders' urgent need will be solved.
During this period, General Gore adopted a siege policy against Blackwater City. In fact, it was not impossible to capture Blackwater City.
In fact, as long as Gore gave the order, Blackwater City could be taken down at any cost, within a week at most, but General Gore did not do this.
The reason is simple.
The last elite force of the Great Qin Empire is now in Blackwater City. If you act too hastily, in addition to causing heavy casualties to your own side, the other party will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry. If the troops break out in separate ways, it will create hidden dangers.
Gore knew very well that as long as the effective forces of the Great Qin Empire entered the territory of the Great Qin Empire, new forces would inevitably form and even become stronger and stronger, because now, in order to control the vast territories of the Great Qin Empire, it is impossible for the Crusaders to organize large-scale
If you use your troops to pursue and intercept them, this will give the other side an opportunity to grow stronger. Therefore, encirclement is the best strategy.
In addition, behind Blackwater City is the vast Cinu Prairie. If the little emperor is forced to the Cinu Prairie, if he wants to find it again, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In fact, Gore didn't know that his tactics had long been exposed by Guo Axe, but because Guo Axe was not good at words, and General Changkong was dedicated to protecting the little emperor, he had no idea of rather than being destroyed.
Let General Gore's plan proceed in an orderly manner.
However, just today, the appearance of a mysterious army broke General Gore's plan.
According to the intelligence obtained by Black-winged Kunpeng, there is an unknown number of cavalry lurking in the Black Forest, and it is conservatively estimated to be around 30,000.
Facing tens of thousands of cavalry, General Gore had to pay attention.
At first, General Gore thought that Blackwater City soldiers were trying to attack in a sneak attack, but he soon rejected this idea because, according to the intelligence transmitted from Blackwater City, Blackwater City seemed to have no idea about the cavalry appearing in the Black Forest.
Know.
Why is this happening?
Who is this mysterious cavalry army?
What struck Gore most strangely was that the cavalry in the Black Forest seemed not to want to take military action for the time being, but instead lurked and set up camp in the lush woods.
What on earth are they going to do?
A large number of black-winged Kunpeng and scouts were dispatched.
A steady stream of intelligence was fed back to the Crusade headquarters.
After combining all the information, the identity of the other party finally came to light.
Assassin Cavalry!
General Gore is no stranger to the Cinu clan, because the Crusaders and the Cinu people were both born as nomads, and there are many similarities between the two.
However, General Gore never took the Cinu people seriously, because he knew that a few years ago, Zhao Yuan, the undefeated God of War of the Qin Empire, ravaged the Cinu prairie unscrupulously. The Cinu people had declined and were no longer what they used to be.
brilliant.
"Will they form an alliance with the Qin Empire?" A general put forward his own opinion.
"Won't."
Almost at the same time, everyone, including General Gore, shook their heads, because everyone here knew that the Cinu people and the Great Qin Empire had an sworn hatred. In the past few years, the Great Qin Empire's undefeated
The God of War Zhao Yuan not only killed King Zuo Xian and Shan Yu, but also killed the most powerful Wu Wu King in the Qin Dynasty in the imperial capital of the Qin Empire.
It can be said with certainty that every Cinu person hates Da Qin deeply.
The intelligence collected also showed that the Cinu people were gloating about the fall of the Qin Empire. There were even clues that showed that the Cinu people were also ready to add insult to injury.
If it was to add insult to injury, why did it go deep into the hinterland of the Qin Empire?
Logically speaking, if the Cinu people want to attack the Qin Empire's army, it is best to attack Heishui City from the direction of the grassland, so that Heishui City will be attacked from both sides.
But now, the assassins sneaked deep into Blackwater City.
It was obvious that this large number of cavalry had an ulterior motive.
In addition, intelligence shows that there are still large-scale cavalry gathering on the Cinu Prairie.
All evidence shows that the Cinu people have a large-scale military action plan.
What General Gore couldn't understand the most was why the Slavs were so sneaky? Theoretically, the Slavs and the Crusaders had a common enemy, and both sides should communicate with each other about the enemy. Such a large-scale military operation should be informed in advance.
After a period of discussion, General Gore's think tank team came up with two possibilities. First, the Qin Empire formed an alliance with the Cinu people; second, the Cinu people wanted a share of the pie.
Obviously, the possibility of an alliance between the Cinu people and the Great Qin Empire is very slim. Even if they want to form an alliance, there is no need to sneak from the dangerous Black Forest to the hinterland of the Great Qin Empire.
Moreover, the intelligence transmitted from Blackwater City showed that the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire did not move at all, and there was no sign of a large-scale military operation at all.
The Crusaders can be said to be extremely proud of their intelligence work. Church members all over the Qin Empire provide a steady stream of intelligence to the Crusaders, and the Black-winged Kunpeng is also a powerful intelligence tool for the Crusaders.
The Crusaders were able to conquer the entire Qin Empire in just one year, and it can be said that Black-winged Kunpeng made great contributions.
If the alliance cannot be established, then the only reason for the Cinu cavalry to penetrate deep into the territory of the Qin Empire is to try to get a piece of the pie from the fire.
Now, millions of troops of the Crusaders are distributed in major cities in the Qin Empire. If the army of assassins marches all the way to capture the city, it is likely to form a rivalry with the Crusaders. After all, the army led by Gore will never leave the Black Sea.
Water City, because the emperor of the Qin Empire is in Heishui City.
If the last army of the Qin Empire is allowed to recover, there will be endless troubles.
To the Crusaders, the emperor of the Qin Empire was far more important than the army of assassins.
General Gore discovered that if the Ci Nu army really entered the territory of the Qin Empire, he would have no way to deal with it. In fact, he could not even organize a decent army to deal with the Ci Nu army. After all, the Ci Nu people were also cavalry.
In a country on horseback, like the Crusaders, they come and go like the wind.
A large amount of reconnaissance information from the Black-winged Kunpeng showed that the number of assassins' cavalry assembled outside the Blackwater City Pass had exceeded 100,000.
What is the concept of one hundred thousand cavalry?
Inexplicably, Gore was frightened for a while.
Fortunately, we discovered the army of the Thorns lurking in the Black Forest. Otherwise, by the time they launched their military operation, they would have been out of control.
Once the army of assassins rages in the Qin Empire, the military situation of the Crusaders will be disrupted, and the Qin army in Blackwater City will also take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack. By then, the Crusaders will be in dire straits.
