Regarding Zhenshuiguan, Zhao Yuan would not give up easily, not only because Zhao Yuan had put in a lot of effort in Zhenshuiguan, but most importantly, the people of Zhenshuiguan had high hopes for Zhao Yuan, especially some
The local gentry and local tyrants. Back then, when they were in Bafang City, there were some local gentry and local tycoons, but they lost all their money to follow Zhao Yuan.
Before heading to the prehistoric area, Zhao Yuan always wanted to stop at Zhenshuiguan, which shows that he attached great importance to Zhenshuiguan.
Now, Zhao Yuan wants to sort out the situation and ensure that there will be no danger in the short term at Zhenshuiguan.
At present, Blackwater City has strong soldiers and horses. The number of Cinu cavalry alone exceeds 200,000. Including the army of the Qin Empire, the total number has reached 500,000. As long as General Changkong is in charge, even if there is danger,
The Crusaders would never be able to defeat the city in a short time.
As for the God of War Ares, Zhao Yuan is not worried, because the Heaven-defying Monkey said that the clone of the God of War Ares does not have long-lasting combat effectiveness. In other words, there is no way that Ares can persist until the Blackwater City is captured.
In addition, summoning the divine clones also requires a huge amount of energy from the summoner. Because of this, General Gore cannot continuously summon the divine clones to fight.
Usually, General Gore would summon his divine clone only when the war was in reverse.
At present, after General Gore set foot on the territory of the Great Qin Empire, in addition to summoning the clone of the gods once at the Rolling Stone Barracks, he also summoned the gods once in the imperial capital. It was that time he summoned the gods and defeated the invincible General Chang Kong, allowing Cross
The morale of the soldiers was greatly reduced and they were completely defeated.
The crusaders' biggest reliance is the black-winged Kunpeng, and the black-winged Kunpeng has been restrained by the sharp archers led by Lan Cai'er and cannot move.
After finding out the details of the Crusaders, Zhao Yuan no longer worried about the safety of Blackwater City.
Now, what Zhao Yuan is most worried about is Zhenshuiguan.
Intuition told Zhao Yuan that the Crusaders would never let Zhenshuiguan remain in this state of being controlled by Da Qin for a long time.
Why didn't the Crusaders take action?
Zhao Yuan racked his brains to reason about the thoughts of the Crusaders commander.
If he were the commander of the Crusaders, when the battle in Blackwater City was in a stalemate and Zhao Yuan, Ni Tianhou and others were unable to escape, they would take thunderous action and capture Zhenshui Pass in one fell swoop.
Some things don't make sense.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Yuan is a bold and evil person, but in fact, Zhao Yuan walks on thin ice every step he takes. Although he often takes risks, he does not like taking risks. He prefers to think carefully before acting.
When Zhao Yuan was on the run, he had experienced the kind of pressure that would lead to death if he made one wrong move. But now, when the two armies are fighting, his personal wrong decision will not affect Zhao Yuan's personal safety, but its influence will be.
It is more far-reaching, not only related to the national destiny of the Qin Empire, but also related to the lives of thousands of ordinary soldiers.
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
Now, Zhao Yuan has a title of "Prime Minister". Although this title has not been fully announced, it is just an internal decision, and it is in name only. However, he planned and promoted the entire political reform of the Qin Empire, so he must bear the responsibility.
Take this responsibility...
…
Suddenly, Zhao Yuan thought of a problem. He had been paying attention to Zhenshuiguan and Heishui City recently, but he had not noticed the movements of the Crusaders.
According to intelligence, nearly a million infantrymen have landed in the territory of the Russian Empire from distant oceans. What are such a huge army doing?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan immediately combed through all the relevant information he had. Soon, he made an astonishing discovery.
The hundreds of thousands of troops who have arrived at the Great Qin Empire have been distributed to various territories of the Great Qin Empire.
Moreover, some huge buildings are being built in some of the larger cities in the Qin Empire.
Huge building!
Zhao Yuan suddenly remembered that he remembered that when Zhenshuiguan was captured, a magnificent building was under construction at Zhenshuiguan, but now, the building was in a semi-abandoned state.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan immediately jumped up and disappeared into the vast darkness. A group of monsters wearing soldiers' armor all had shocked expressions on their faces.
In the eyes of the demons, Zhao Yuan's magic power has become more and more powerful and unfathomable. Just the speed of his transformation is difficult to capture with the naked eye...
…
Zhao Yuan arrived at the magnificent building.
Zhao Yuan stared blankly at the building in front of him. Inexplicably, he felt insignificant.
Looking around, you can see tall spires, pointed arches, large windows and colored glass with written stories.
When Zhao Yuan was on Earth, he voraciously studied some religious buildings on Earth. He discovered that the design of this huge and magnificent building used pointed rib vaults, flying buttresses, and slender beams to create a light and airy atmosphere.
The slender flying feeling is shocking.
Around it, as well as a new frame structure to increase the strength of the top support, the whole building has a straight line, a majestic appearance and an open space inside the church, combined with the long windows inlaid with glazed glass, creating a strong sense of depth in the building.
The religious atmosphere. The plane of the building is still basically a Latin cross, but a pair of tall towers are added on both sides of the west end door...
Shocked in his heart, Zhao Yuan slowly walked into this admirable building and was stunned. He had seen this building from a distance before, but he never expected that there was such a scene inside.
It is no exaggeration to describe it as magnificent.
On the huge dome, there are some mythological figures depicted, and around it are some sculptures that are so delicate that it is unbelievable.
Many sculptures are still half-finished.
Some of the paintings on the dome are only half completed.
Obviously, the construction of this building was stopped due to Zhao Yuan's sudden appearance. However, the visual impact of this semi-finished product is extremely shocking. If it is completed, it will be okay.
The church is not deserted. There are many clergy in robes praying inside the church. Down below, there are actually many ordinary people from the Qin Empire...
…
Looking at the devout people of Da Qin, Zhao Yuan felt more and more heavy. He actually ignored the most important thing - the power of faith.
Obviously, the spark of fire at Zhenshuiguan made the Crusaders realize that war was only a secondary means, and the most important thing was to change the beliefs of the people of the Qin Empire.
As long as the beliefs of the people of the Great Qin Empire are changed, I believe that soon some people of the Great Qin Empire will join the Crusaders to fight against the armies of the Great Qin Empire.
The follow-up army of the Crusaders is not here to fight, but to stabilize the territory that the Qin Empire has occupied, create a peaceful environment in a short period of time, and then use religious brainwashing to change the beliefs of the people of the Qin Empire.
It is very difficult to change human beings' beliefs, but it is not as difficult as imagined. Especially in times of disasters, diseases and wars, human beings' beliefs are most easily shaken.
Usually, some humans with weak willpower will choose religious beliefs that are beneficial to them.
But now, the Great Qin Empire is in chaos, and the people of Great Qin have suffered a lot. Every common person hopes to live a stable life. At this time, the Crusaders' religious beliefs have taken advantage of the situation and can easily gain a group of loyal believers.
After allowing the first batch of believers to obtain some material and spiritual things, the subtle belief change has been completed...
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan shuddered inexplicably.
The Great Qin Empire has a vast territory, and Heishui City and Zhenshuiguan are insignificant. As long as the army of the Great Qin Empire is held at Zhenshuiguan and Heishui City for some time, even if the Great Qin Empire's army fights back, it will not
There was a scene that responded to everything.
It is not unusual for a war to last ten years or a hundred years. Obviously, the Crusaders are no longer in a hurry to capture Blackwater City and Zhenshui Pass, but are focusing on the places they occupied.
No wonder General Gore took the initiative to abandon Jiudaowan and Rolling Stone Barracks. They never thought about exchanging huge casualties for a temporary victory.
In fact, just after the Cinu people formed an alliance with the Qin Dynasty, it was no longer possible for the Crusaders to eradicate the weeds, because behind Blackwater City was the vast and fertile Cinu prairie.
The winter in the Great Qin Empire is very long. Winter has only started for more than a month now, and there are at least more than two months left. In these two months, the Crusaders are enough to complete control of the Great Qin Empire. When spring comes, Blackwater City counterattacks.
I'm afraid it would take one city and one pond to be attacked, and with the national strength of the Cinu Prairie, it would be impossible to fight a protracted war of attrition...
…
No, the military rhythm of the Crusaders must be broken!
Zhao Yuan glanced at the towering buildings in the night, then strode away with firm steps, leaving a series of deep footprints on the snow, with a murderous look on his face...
