In order to ensure that this operation was foolproof, the first thing Zhao Yuan did after landing in the fishing village was to control all the fishermen in the fishing village, block information, and destroy all the transportation tools in the fishing village, including killing livestock such as pack horses.
The most direct and effective way to paralyze a country in a very short period of time is to destroy its infrastructure and transportation.
As for the black-winged Kunpeng and the like, they will be killed without mercy.
Zhao Yuan's orders were quickly implemented.
The people in the fishing villages were closed down, and not only the livestock were slaughtered, but also some agricultural facilities were destroyed.
The purpose of the expeditionary force is very clear, to destroy the war potential of the Kingdom of Heaven as much as possible.
After resting for a day, the 60,000-strong army and 100,000 war horses marched silently along the coastline toward the city of Shechem. Along the way, massacres were carried out, and any possibility of being exposed was nipped in the bud.
The Kingdom of Heaven, which has not had a civil war for a thousand years, has faced the most terrifying nightmare in history.
The 60,000 cavalrymen who came from the Qin Empire were like a demonic army, destroying everything they passed by.
Farmland, water conservancy, and livestock were all ruthlessly destroyed and killed.
Water and fire have become the most powerful tools of destruction.
The march along the way was overwhelming. Although some gentry and common people from the Kingdom of Heaven organized resistance along the way, their resistance was meaningless in the face of this army that was armed to the teeth. Instead, they paid a bloody price.
The army led by Zhao Yuan came from across the ocean, and everyone was determined to die. It is conceivable that the hostility in their hearts was unmistakable. If Zhao Yuan had not restrained them, it is very likely that they would have gone astray.
It means rivers of blood and red ground for thousands of miles.
Although Zhao Yuan had strict restrictions and was not allowed to massacre ordinary people, when the dispute started, there would be bloody massacres. If there was any disobedience, there would be rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
Faced with this situation, Zhao Yuan was powerless.
Every soldier in this army has more or less relatives and friends who were tortured by the Crusaders. Now that they have fought in the Kingdom of Heaven, it is obviously a bit naive and ridiculous to want them to have a compassionate heart.
The moment the Qin army stepped onto the Kingdom of Heaven, this army had turned into demons.
Even though Zhao Yuan was careful all the way, the news was still leaked. After all, this was on the territory of the Kingdom of Heaven, with 60,000 troops and 100,000 horses. Such a huge military operation could not be silent.
When the 60,000-strong army was still more than thirty miles away from the city of Shechem, the city of Shechem had already received the news.
The news received by the city of Shechem was extremely vague. People only knew that a strange army had set foot on the territory of the Kingdom of Heaven. They did not know how many people, how many horses, or how many weapons there were.
Rumors are flying everywhere.
The lord of Shechem began to prepare for battle.
While the city of Shechem was still making panic preparations, a 60,000-strong army led by Zhao Yuan had already arrived at the city.
Sixty thousand troops and one hundred thousand horses were galloping across the plains. The overwhelming momentum that made the earth tremble caused the city of Shechem, which was not ready for battle, to fall into panic.
Zhao Yuanshen led the soldiers, wearing red and black armor, holding the magic sword of ice and fire like a door panel, descending on the top of the city of Shechem like a demon.
Arrows are like locusts.
The knife rises, the knife falls.
The majestic city wall of Shechem collapsed instantly like an avalanche under the flames of the magic sword of ice and fire.
The 60,000-strong army encountered almost no decent resistance. They marched straight in and were invincible.
The cry of killing resounded in every corner of Shechem.
Scream, cry, scream.
The entire city of Shechem became a hell on earth.
Sixty thousand troops were galloping back and forth in the streets and alleys of Shechem City, their swords flashing with a heart-stopping light in the sun, and the cultivators' armor blooming with a heart-stopping murderous aura.
Like a tide, the 60,000-strong army swept through this ancient city with a history of two thousand years in less than half an hour.
Fires were burning everywhere.
The connected houses were engulfed in flames, looking like a sea of fire.
This flame burned for three days and three nights, and two thousand years of inheritance were destroyed in one fell swoop.
The sudden army, which came and went as quickly as it came, swept through the city of Shechem like a violent wind. After burning the city into rubble, it disappeared like a violent wind over the vast plains, leaving behind a mess.
.
After leaving the city of Shechem and running wildly, destroying towns along the way, Zhao Yuan made an astonishing decision and began to continuously release the captives brought from the Kingdom of Heaven.
No one understands why Zhao Yuan released those prisoners.
Likewise, the generals of the expeditionary force did not understand either.
"Why should we release them? They know our details!" Lan Cai'er was most opposed to Zhao Yuan's practice of releasing the Crusaders prisoners.
A group of new generals all looked at Zhao Yuan. They had the same doubts as Lan Cai'er.
"You will know soon." Zhao Yuan's lips curled up into a mysterious smile.
"Zhao Lang, I think it's better to let them know." Lan Cai'er was silent for a moment.
Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment and looked at a group of eager new generals. Immediately, he understood Lan Cai'er's painstaking efforts.
Obviously, Zhao Yuan's decision has shaken the morale of a group of new generals. After all, they are generals recently trained by Zhao Yuan, and their psychological endurance is far inferior to those of generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. In addition, they are in a foreign country.
The slightest disturbance can cause random thoughts.
"Yes. Now, let me ask a few questions." Zhao Yuan paused and said, "Are the Crusaders of the Great Qin Empire afraid of me?"
"Afraid!"
Everyone said in unison.
No one would raise any objection to this answer. In the Great Qin Empire, what the Crusaders were most afraid of was fighting Zhao Yuan, because Zhao Yuan had almost no defeats, and whether it was Heishui City, Bafang City Zhenshuiguan, or
Er Port, as well as the area around the border city of Xiongguan Val, it was Zhao Yuan's personal power that abruptly reversed the entire situation.
Without Zhao Yuan, the Qin Empire would have been destroyed long ago, let alone the alliance with Ci Nu Er.
During the entire reversal process, Zhao Yuan could be said to have gone through five levels and killed six generals, starting with killing General Bach and General Shegel, then killing the disciple of the God of Death, the murderer King Rom, and even fighting with the God of War Ares.
, Wolf God Fenir fought fiercely, and the battle on the ice field directly defeated the army of the Giant Spirit God, leaving the Crusaders in the Orange Island area in despair, laying the foundation for Blackwater City's counterattack.
After that, Zhao Yuan's prestige continued unabated, killing the god Samson in the Er Empire, killing angels in the city of Vaal, and killing General Gucci in a naval battle.
In the eyes of the Crusaders in Heaven, Zhao Yuan was like a devil. He was an ordinary cultivator who not only fought against gods many times, but even killed gods at the level of Samson the Angel.
In fact, the angel was killed by the mechanical warriors who awakened humanity. However, in the eyes of the Crusaders, the angel still died in the hands of Zhao Yuan.
Without Zhao Yuan, those famous Crusaders generals would not have died. But precisely because of Zhao Yuan, those famous and arrogant generals were stained with blood, wrapped in horse leather, and died in a foreign land...
There is no doubt that the Crusaders not only hate Zhao Yuan deeply, but also fear him deep in their bones.
It is precisely because of his fear of Zhao Yuan that Prince Philip did not hesitate to let gods participate in human wars and let angels personally direct the battles.
In the eyes of the Crusaders, Zhao Yuan was like a gangrene attached to his bones, making it difficult for him to sleep or eat well.
"Okay! Since you are afraid, you can think about it now, why should I let those prisoners go?" Zhao Yuan said with a slight smile.
Everyone looked at each other, looking at each other, and then fell into a long silence.
"I understand!" Lan Cai'er's eyes suddenly lit up and she spoke first.
"Wait a moment." Zhao Yuan nodded and his eyes fell on a group of newly trained generals. If you want these generals to be independent in the future, you must give them a priority to speak and cultivate their responsibility and confidence.
"I feel like this is a humble position..." A general named Wei hesitated for a moment.
"It doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong. If you have any ideas, just say them." Zhao Yuan encouraged.
"General, I humbly believe that letting those prisoners go will be beneficial without any harm." General Wei stood up and mustered up his courage.
"Continue." Zhao Yuan nodded affirmatively.
"Those hundreds of prisoners, crusaders from the Great Qin Empire, no one is more familiar with the general's achievements in Zhanyun Continent than them. It can be said that they are full of fear of the general in their bones... so... so..." Wei surnamed
The general paused for a moment, seeming to formulate his words.
