Hyde was riding on a huge war horse, and his skinny body looked even smaller on the broad horse's back.
In front of Hyde, tens of thousands of elite Crusader cavalry from Zishui Pass were rushing madly.
When every cavalryman passed by Hyde, he felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at him, as if the light of a knife had been scratched on his body, and his back was chilled.
Behind Hyde were dozens of silent generals, who looked at the thin back in front of them with awe.
No one dares to despise him, because he is - the murderer King Hyde.
In the Han Empire, no one knew who Haide was, but in the Kingdom of Heaven, Haide was a very popular figure, and no one even dared to call Haide by his name.
Hyde's birth was extremely humble. He was the illegitimate son of a prostitute. No one knew who his father was. Because of his special birth, Hyde was an extremely withdrawn child in his youth. He had almost no friends, and he even never When talking to people, he was once mistaken for being mute.
While in prison, Hyde murdered seventy-six people, including a 2-year-old baby. When he was 10 years old, he showed three childhood characteristics that may make him a serial killer: Wetting the bed at an age when he should not Wetting the bed, being cruel to animals and setting fires.
Some people say that Haide is just like Du Juan, born evil.
When Hyde was thirteen years old, he showed an amazing talent for killing. He made an amazingly powerful small crossbow without anyone's help. He liked to sneak into other people's homes at night, and then shoot or strangle adult men to death. , then violently assaulted women and children, killed and then dismembered them, and after he was done, he put his mark - his name, Hyde, on the wall, on the mirror, and even on the body of the deceased. Even when he was captured, he still maintained Always arrogant and domineering.
When Hyde was seventeen years old, he already had seventy-six lives in his hands, seventeen of which were clergy of the church.
Hyde's experience is full of mystery and drama, and no one knows where he learned his skills.
In the Kingdom of Heaven, there is the death penalty. Logically speaking, a person like Hyde can die a thousand times. However, Hyde did not die because there are too many death row criminals who need to be executed in the Kingdom of Heaven. It is his turn. Hyde, at least twenty years later...
…
While Hyde was waiting for his death sentence in prison, when a prisoner was having dinner, Hyde was so angry that he killed someone because the food was unpalatable. His murder tool was a piece of sharpened volcanic stone. When a stick of incense was less than a stick of incense, Hyde killed someone. He killed twenty-nine serious prisoners, and the fatal parts of those prisoners were all in the carotid artery.
That killing incident made Hyde's murder count exceed one hundred, and he became famous in prison and became the spiritual idol of many criminals.
Hyde is taciturn, but has a strange charm. Many people are willing to listen to his orders. In prison, except that he has no freedom, he is the king. Even some prison guards dare not offend him easily.
It stands to reason that even if Hyde is not executed, he will never get out of prison. However, God seems to be particularly interested in this perverted killer.
Once, there was a turmoil in the Kingdom of Heaven, and some forces tried to overthrow the regime. In order to prevent the situation from spreading, they decided to secretly assassinate him.
Because there are many masters around the opponent, and the assassination mission cannot be leaked, in the end, it was decided to select warriors in the prison. If they complete the mission, they can get a pardon from the monarch.
In fact, this was an assassination mission with no return. Even if the mission was completed, the possibility of coming back alive was extremely slim. However, Hyde came back safe and sound.
This outstanding mission allowed Hyde to rise to prominence in the military, and the military began to use Hyde to assassinate some opposition forces.
At the beginning, the military hoped that Hyde would sacrifice himself during a certain mission, and this hot potato would be solved naturally. However, Hyde was surprisingly lucky. Not only did he complete all the tasks, but the military also owned
A large number of fans.
In the assassination missions again and again, Haide was getting closer and closer to the core power of the Han Dynasty. When it came time to invade the Han Empire, Haide repeatedly made military exploits. The imperial military publicized that Haide was inspired by God, had corrected his evil ways, and became a high-ranking official.
A powerful general.
Haide's cruel nature was undoubtedly exposed in the Han Empire. Every time he attacked a city, as long as the resistance was fierce, there would be three days of massacre after the city was broken. Corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed into rivers. The people of the Han Empire, as long as they heard the name of Haide, they would
Frightened by the news, he ran away...
…
Hyde was in a bad mood because he had received the news that General Milley and General Losey had died on the battlefield, with their heads hanging on the city walls.
In the army, Hyde had only one friend, General Milley.
General Milley is indispensable for Hyde to be where he is today, because it was General Milley's idea to dig out Hyde from prison, and it was General Milley who recommended Hyde to lead the troops in the war.
It can be said that without General Milley, Hyde would not be as prosperous as it is today.
The undefeated god of war!
There was a hint of ferocity on Hyde's thin cheeks.
From the moment he set foot on the territory of the Han Empire, Hyde began to pay attention to Zhou Sen. He knew everything about Zhou Sen.
Hyde pays attention to Zhou Sen not because Zhou Sen has established achievements that will go down in history, but because he is the most popular figure on the gangster list.
Rough bandit.
Killer King!
From Hyde's point of view, he and Zhou Sen have too many similarities. Not only are they both rising from heinous villains to the stage of power, but they are also extremely lucky people.
Hyde has always claimed to be a gangster who is favored by God...
It was not easy to arrive at Bafang City in four hours, because more than an hour had passed when Hyde received General Mili's letter.
However, this does not trouble Hyde.
In the Crusaders, Hyde is synonymous with cold-bloodedness. He is taciturn and has a cold temperament. He is very strict in running the army. He whips his subordinates at every turn and gets angry at others. He goes up and down. If he is not careful, he will be splashed with blood even if he takes five steps.
Some senior generals at the same level were afraid to avoid him.
During a siege, Hyde personally supervised the troops on the front line. He found someone hiding behind and stagnating, and was immediately arrested. Later, after the city was defeated, he personally tortured several soldiers to death. The bloody
The scene made the soldiers fighting on the battlefield terrified.
In more than a year, not one thousand but also five hundred Crusaders died in the hands of Hyde. When the name of General Hyde was mentioned, the Crusaders all changed their expressions.
After several hours of rapid march, the 50,000 Crusaders cavalry were exhausted, but no one dared to stop because a pair of vicious eyes seemed to be staring at them all the time...
…
It's getting dark soon.
Bafang City is getting closer and closer.
A sense of vigilance arose in Hyde's heart, because it was so quiet that all the insects, snakes, and ants seemed to be dead, and it was suffocating.
The notorious Hyde was able to gain a foothold in Gore because of his repeated military exploits. There is no doubt that Hyde's military talent is extremely high. He was able to be invincible during this year not because of luck, but because of his true strength. strength.
It is precisely because of Hyde's amazing military talent that General Gore allowed him to take charge of his own business. It is also for this reason that General Gore loves and hates him. After all, Hyde is too cruel to soldiers. Although he can fight, he has no general. The wind fell down...
…
There is no doubt that this is a huge ambush circle.
Although Hyde is cruel, he is not impatient. In fact, he is calmer than many senior generals. Even in the midst of thousands of troops, he can think things through.
When approaching the four miles of Bafang City, Haider was already sure that the ruthless bandit Zhou Sen had set up an ambush for him. Now, all he had to do was wait for him to sneak into the ambush.
A cold, evil smile appeared on the corner of Hyde's mouth.
In the view of the Crusaders, Hyde rushed to Bafang City in a hurry to rescue General Mili. In fact, Hyde had long known that General Mili was dead. He was not eager to avenge General Mili, but to guard against Zhou Sen's escape.
Now, Bafang City is almost at hand, and Haide is not in a hurry.
Ambush circle!
If we attack the city now, we will definitely fall into an ambush. However, Hyde has never thought about attacking the city at this time, because the sky is bright at this time and the sight is not good. Moreover, Bafang City is waiting for work at this time, and The Crusaders are exhausted, and even if they win, they will pay a heavy price.
It has to be said that Hyde is a rare military genius. When he was at Zhenshuiguan, he had already decided to set up camp after arriving at Bafang City, trapping hundreds of thousands of refugees to death in Bafang City...
Dawn shrouded the entire Bafang City in a mysterious veil.
The Crusader cavalry had already been out scouting the area to gather intelligence.
A steady stream of information came to Hyde's temporary camp from all directions.
Hyde came out of the tent and stood at the door.
Sunrise.
The sunrise in the hinterland of the Han 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 Hyde 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 Hyde 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, Hyde was very clear about the importance of aerial intelligence. The Crusaders were able to defeat the fierce Han Empire soldiers because of their understanding of the dynamics of the Han Empire's army. They were often able to exploit their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and concentrate their superior forces to attack their opponents. , if the advantage of the Black-winged Kunpeng is lost, and the two armies confront each other, I really don’t know who will win. After all, the army of the Han Empire is not easy to mess with, especially the strong ones, whose 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 Han Empire, the Crusaders lost many masters.
What conspiracy will the other party have?
Hyde knew Zhou Sen very well. He knew that Zhou Sen was extremely thoughtful and had almost never made any major mistakes during his life on the run.
There is no doubt that this is a powerful opponent.
Hyde was convinced that no matter how powerful Zhou Sen 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 Hyde's point of view, this time it was not a matter of luck between him and Zhou Sen, because he had an absolute advantage.
Perhaps many people don't know what fifty thousand cavalry is.
In the battles of the past year, a cavalry force of several thousand soldiers from the Heavenly Crusaders defeated tens of thousands of soldiers from the Han Empire.
While Hyde was thinking, at the same time, Zhou Sen was also thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the Crusaders compared to the army of the Han Empire, because in order to regain the Han Dynasty, relying solely on Zhou Sen's bravery would not help at all.
The main force of the Crusaders was the rangers, that is, light cavalry, with one man and two or three horses, highly mobile and extremely durable. They often used drag-and-fight tactics against large corps. The main force of the Han 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 Han Empire were dragged to death in this way, and heavy cavalry was given to light cavalry.
Drag to death. The Han army has little chance of winning in a decisive battle in the wild. Moreover, 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 Han Empire to defeat the Crusaders.
unless……
Unless dragging is also used.
The most advantageous way for the Han Empire was 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 the Crusaders.
The problem is that now that the Han Empire has completely fallen, it is no longer feasible to use cities as strongholds to introduce outflanks.
Putting aside other reasons, the Han Empire had obvious strategic advantages. It had great national potential, richer resources, a large population, great strategic depth, and higher war potential.
In Zhou Sen's view, the Han Empire almost collapsed due to too many reasons, both institutional and military. The root problem was the innate disadvantage of farming peoples over nomadic peoples. After losing its vast territory, the Han Empire became even more
It is difficult to form a cavalry force that can compete with it.
Thinking of the cavalry, Zhou Sen thought of the powerful military industries in the five star regions. There is no doubt that the Crusaders' cavalry is similar to a mecha-like existence, flexible and highly offensive.
Now, the Han 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 people of the Han Empire.
If the Han Empire was full of wars, no matter how powerful the Crusaders were, they would not be able to stop the ants from killing the elephants.
The problem is that it is not easy to get the people of the Han Empire to participate in the battle against the Crusaders!
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Sen's mouth.
No one knows the people better than Zhou Sen, because he has spent a long time in the Shenjiadong compound. 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 interests of the people at the bottom. It is precisely for this reason that when the Han Empire was defeated, few of the people of the empire stood up to resist.
unless……
Zhou Sen thought of "unless" again.
Unless the Crusaders went against the grain and adopted iron-blooded tyranny, which made the people of the Han Empire feel the crisis. When life and death were at stake, countless people with lofty ideals would naturally dare to stand up and resist.
Letting the people of the Han Empire spontaneously resist, even Zhou Sen, whose strong point is fanning, felt it was a bit unreliable.
Currently, Zhou Sen believes that the only chance for the Han Empire to turn defeat into victory is with the Huns.
Because the Xiongnu were also a nation on horseback, Zhou Sen subconsciously looked back at Fannier, who was bathing in the golden sun. Fannier, who was wearing a bathrobe, was formed into an extremely beautiful figure by the golden sunshine.
Silhouette…
…
Finally, the first ray of sunlight broke through the darkness.
Hyde 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.
Zhou Sen.
The undefeated god of war.
Hyde's cold gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, and a raging fighting spirit boiled in the air.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Sen's penetrating gaze also fell on Hyde.
Although the two of them were miles apart, they seemed as close as a few feet.
Hyde is murderous.
Zhou Sen 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, Hyde was puzzled. He thought of countless possibilities, but he couldn't think of any way Zhou Sen 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, Hyde is already in an invincible position as long as he does not forcefully attack the city.
Inexplicably, Hyde showed a trace of anxiety on his face.
In the past, this situation would never have happened to Hyde, because the Crusaders were well aware of the Han Empire's troop movements. However, now, the black-winged Kunpeng has lost its role, and all the scouts sent out have disappeared.
.
The Crusaders knew nothing about Bafang City. They were like a blind man trying to grasp an elephant. This was a phenomenon that had never occurred in previous battles with the Han Empire's troops. This also made Hyde feel extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of horse hooves.
Under the morning sun, Hyde saw the scouts running towards him in a panic, and vaguely, Hyde 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 Hyde to report.
Katcha!
Hyde suddenly pulled out half of his scimitar, 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 Hyde 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!
Hyde 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 were blank.
He stared blankly at the sky, his eyes unblinking.
There was a commotion in the distance. Apparently, the water from the Yellowstone Reservoir had approached the camp.
There was a suffocating silence around Hyde.
No one dared to challenge Hyde's authority. In the eyes of the Crusaders generals, Hyde 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 Hyde is right. Our military advisor Marco said that even if all the water in the Yellowstone Reservoir is released, it will only reach the level of the horse's legs."
"Hahaha...it's just the position of a horse's legs."
"It turns out that Military Advisor Marco knew this a long time ago."
"..."
At the mention of Marco's military advisor, a group of generals breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally solemn atmosphere became much more relaxed, and 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 Marco's military counselor said that the water would only flood the horses' legs, he would never do it.
Flooded to the horse's belly.
In heaven, people have an almost blind worship of Marco's military advisor.
The water gradually submerged under Bafang City.
Hyde's high-pressure methods combined with the persuasiveness of Marco's military division's words, the originally turbulent Crusaders have stabilized, and the soldiers began to withdraw to higher ground in a planned way...
As the commotion gradually subsided, Hyde stared at the young man with long hair and golden armor on top of the city tower.
Hyde is thinking in his shoes.
Hyde 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...
