Later, countless historians discovered through research that there were countless coincidences in the Crusaders' disastrous defeat. For example, Lu Ax relied on his keen military talents to make a desperate attempt to sneak into the Tanbao barracks and seize a golden opportunity.
Among them, the most important reason is that General Gore made an extremely wrong decision. Just when the Crusaders were defeated all the way from the Dark Forest, he led the defeated army to the vicinity of Wuchao City.
According to General Gore's idea, there are still 30,000 rangers in Wuchao City who are defeated in this direction. Once 30,000 new troops join the battle, they can immediately turn defeat into victory.
However, fate is not as good as fate. General Gore never imagined that 30,000 rangers would have been attracted to the Tanbao barracks by Lu Axe’s 500 heavy-armored cavalry and more than 40 super strong men, fighting and killing them all the way.
There is not much left.
When the Crusaders were in the Dark Forest, they only suffered more than half of their casualties. However, after the battle in Wuchao City, very few of the 80,000 elite cavalry were left.
Many things feel a bit unbelievable, but they will always happen.
Wuchao City used 100,000 people to hunt 40,000 cavalry. This feels a bit like a fantasy, but it really happened. The reason is very simple. The Crusaders were chased by the Huns cavalry all the way and retreated to Wuchao.
When they entered the city, not only did they lose all fighting spirit, but the men and horses were also exhausted. It was difficult to even draw their bows and arrows. How could they be an opponent of a hundred thousand troops?
In this battle, there is another detail that is unknown.
Just when Zhou Sen led the Xiongnu army to pursue them all the way to Wuchao City, the Xiongnu army was so excited because of their victory that they shouted Zhou Sen's name. It was precisely because thousands of people shouted Zhou Sen's name.
It was only then that General Wu Yuan of Wuchao City decided to take the risk and send troops to help the battle, but it made the Crusaders even worse.
If you don't have the ax to fight, you will take risks and make a desperate move.
If Wuchao City hadn't come out in force.
If the thirty thousand rangers had not left Wuchao City.
If there were not 500 red bulls joining the battle.
If no one chants Zhou Sen's name...
…
Unfortunately, there is no if for war.
Perhaps the Han Empire has not yet exhausted its strength.
Tanbao Barracks, Dark Forest, and Wuchao City are dozens of miles apart. The total number of troops mobilized by both sides is as high as 300,000. In order to commemorate Zhou Sen’s meritorious service in this battle, these three battles took place almost at the same time.
The war that took place was collectively known as the Red Bull War.
This war is not only famous because it was a turning point, but more importantly, it set the precedent for monsters to participate in human wars.
There is no doubt that Red Bull will take the lead in this battle. Without Red Bull, there is really no telling who will win. Even if they can win, the Huns army led by Zhou Sen will pay a heavy price.
Here, we should also mention Tanbao Barracks.
Lu Ax's all-or-nothing battle, although he achieved impressive results, was extremely brutal.
In the battle of the Tanbao Barracks, not only did they have to attack the Tanbao Barracks, which was high in the city and dangerous, they also had to deal with 30,000 rangers who were like gangrene on their bones.
In this tragic war, 30,000 of the 50,000 infantrymen led by Lu Ax were killed, and the entire army of 500 heavy-armored cavalry was wiped out. Even the 40 super strong men suffered six deaths and more than a dozen were seriously injured.
The losses can be described as huge.
However, compared with the victory of this war, this little loss seems insignificant.
Because of the large-scale destruction of the Crusaders' effective forces, the total number of Crusaders in the two barracks of Jiudaoguai and Maple Grove was less than 150,000, and at least half of them were infantrymen.
At this point, Wuchao City reversed its passive defense situation.
The addition of 150,000 Huns cavalry has given Wuchao City an absolute military advantage, something that has never happened in more than a year of war.
The alliance of the Huns not only relieved Wuchao City from its worries, but also provided it with vast strategic depth, horses, food, and soldiers.
On the fifth day of the Battle of Red Bull, Jiudaoguai and Maple Grove were burned to the ground by the Crusaders and then evacuated, and the three barriers of Wuchao City were completely recovered.
Now, it is no exaggeration to describe Wuchao City as impregnable.
One hundred and fifty thousand cavalry.
180,000 infantry.
The total strength of Wuchao City has reached over 300,000.
A steady stream of Hun infantry are also gathering, as well as people with super powers coming from all directions.
The Battle of the Red Bull only lasted three days, but it spread to every corner of the Han Empire. People cheered and the whole country was excited.
It seems that in order to respond to the victory of Wuchao City, Zhenshuiguan carried out several large-scale military operations in succession, using the town as a stronghold, dividing several Crusaders' barracks, and using the method of retaliating against the Crusaders one by one.
Defeat. At the beginning, the Crusaders used this tactic to attack cities and territories and captured countless large Han cities.
The impact of the Red Bull War was extremely far-reaching, which greatly encouraged some underground forces in the Han Empire. The resistance in full swing began to unfold, and the Crusaders' front became longer and longer, and they were unable to cope with it.
In the rut of history, a small stone may cause the wheels to deviate from the predetermined track, but the Battle of Red Bull completely broke General Gore's military layout, not only allowing the emperor of the Han Empire to gain
It gave them a chance to make a comeback, and also put the oncoming reinforcements in an extremely dangerous situation.
It has to be said that in any war, the right time, place and people are very important. In theory, General Gore's defeat in Wuchao City should not affect the overall situation, but in fact, if it is too late, this war
In two months, the situation will change greatly, because the infantry dispatched from the Kingdom of Heaven have completely dominated the Han Empire. At that time, the victory or defeat of Wuchao City will no longer be able to shake the military power of the Crusaders in the Han Empire...
…
Zhou Sen received a grand welcome.
The Warriors are back again!
Back then, Zhou Sen rushed thousands of miles to kill Shanyu and received a grand welcome from Wuchao City. Today, history is repeating itself.
The difference is that this time, Zhou Sennai single-handedly persuaded his former enemies to fight alongside him.
The undefeated gods of war used their courage to create an epic turning point in the war.
There is another difference. At first, thousands of Han Empire troops surrounded Zhou Sen, but today, they were replaced by Huns' cavalry.
More and more Huns cavalry gathered around Zhou Sen. The soldiers surrounded Zhou Sen and Shan Yu, raised their bows, arrows and scimitars, and cheered loudly. Wuchao City was filled with the joy of victory.
When Zhou Sen arrived at the foot of Wuchao City, behind him, 50,000 Xiongnu cavalry had completely gathered, like a vast ocean.
Outside Wuchao City, General Wu Yuan and Jin Gua Tian Shen were fighting under the city gate. Surrounded by thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Han Empire, of course, many of them came from the Xiongnu prairie of Wuchao City.
herdsmen.
Zhou Sen and Shan Yu rode war horses and moved forward slowly among the crowds.
At this time, Shan Yu's inner excitement could not be increased. He never thought that he would be welcomed by so many Han people, and he never thought that one day, he would actually fight side by side with the soldiers of the Han Empire...
Zhou Sen, on the other hand, stared at General Wu Yuan in the distance.
General Wu Yuan also looked at Zhou Sen.
When they were still a hundred feet away from the city gate, Zhou Sen and Shan Yu dismounted to show respect for General Wu Yuan. No matter how General Wu Yuan performed during the year, he was a person worthy of respect, even if he was alone.
Therefore, he also has an almost pious respect for General Wu Yuan.
In the Xiongnu prairie, the reputation of General Wu Yuan is no less than that of Zhou Sen. Of course, those are all in the past tense. Only some older generation of herdsmen know how fierce and invincible General Wu Yuan is.
Finally, the two of them walked in front of General Wu Yuan.
Zhou Sen and Shan Yu saluted General Wu Yuan, and then nodded to the surrounding generals.
Out of etiquette, General Wu Yuan treated Shan Yu politely. After all, General Wu Yuan had already guessed Shan Yu's identity from his clothes.
After being polite to Shan Yu, General Wu Yuan's cloudy eyes fell on Zhou Sen.
"I read you right." General Wu Yuan nodded.
Zhou Sen smiled and said nothing.
"I lost the territory of the Han Empire, have you ever blamed me?" General Wu Yuan suddenly asked inexplicably.
"No."
"Why?" General Wu Yuan's cloudy eyes became extremely deep.
"Because, I know the reason." Zhou Sen smiled.
"explain."
"When the Crusaders invaded the Han Empire, the general had already seen that the Han Empire was not the enemy of the Crusaders. The only way to defeat the Crusaders was to use the strategic depth, vast territory and huge population resources of the Han Empire to slowly
Drag the Crusaders to death..."
"But, I still lost." A look of loneliness appeared on General Wu Yuan's face.
"I think the general should know the reason." Zhou Sen sighed, "The more a dynasty reaches its end, its darkness and cruelty will often reach an unprecedented level. When the Han Empire was declining, its political body was also full of flaws.
Out-of-control corruption, bribery, malpractice for personal gain, speculation, corruption and perversion of the law, and rent-seeking for power have become common official customs. The failure of the country is due to the evil officials; the failure of the officials is due to favoring and bribery. Once the officials govern
If it is corrupted and disciplines are weakened, its politics will inevitably deteriorate. Coupled with internal and external troubles and crises, everyone will beat them. As a result, the Han Empire was invaded by foreign enemies and immediately caused the collapse of all fronts..."
"The failure of the country is due to the evil officials; the failure of the officials is due to favoring and bribing Zhang." General Wu Yuan muttered something in his mouth, and for a while felt lost. He lowered his voice and asked: "General Zhou thinks that the strength of the Han Empire has been exhausted?"
"The number of Qi is the same as the sky, and man can defeat the sky!" Zhou Sen's deep gaze was like the vast stars in the sky.
"Well, one person can conquer the sky. Sure enough, there are talents from generation to generation. The country is full of outstanding people and heroes. It's time for me, an old and immortal person, to retire."
General Wu Yuan burst into laughter, and there was endless vicissitudes and sadness in that laughter.
"Man can conquer nature, which is also one of the factors of destiny. In just one year, the Crusaders swept across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Han Empire, and hundreds of Han armies collapsed. This was just a matter of destiny, so the Crusaders gained power. However, the Crusaders did not stay prepared for danger, but instead
If you are arrogant and domineering, all the magic weapons in the world belong to me; except for me, all the sects in the world are heretical, but I am the right one; if you don’t follow my teachings, you will kill yourself. How can such virtue last long? It is also right.
Because of this, superpowers from various factions in the Gods and Demons Continent gathered together to join the Anti-Crusaders, leveraging the rule of the Crusaders, which is also one of the days..."
"General, you are humble." General Wu Yuan was stunned and looked at Zhou Sen with deep eyes.
"Follow the way of heaven and embrace all dharmas. Don't talk about the less in terms of more, and call more in the name of great righteousness. Don't talk about more in terms of less, and call the less in the name of evil and leftist. It should not be regarded by others, nor should it be respected, but only
Use the weather to make things happen." Zhou Sen said calmly.
"Congratulations to General Zhou." General Wu Yuan suddenly said.
"Thank you, General."
"Unexpectedly, in just one year, General Zhou actually asked about the way of heaven, and there was a hope of ascending to heaven. But Wu, for his own selfishness, made all living beings miserable and the Taoist heart was destroyed." General Wu Yuan looked at the sky in the distance, and there was something in his eyes.
Showing a hint of sadness.
"General!" Zhou Sen's body was shocked.
"No need to say more, let's go into the city."
General Wu Yuan interrupted Zhou Sen, turned around, and strode into Wuchao City. His back no longer looked as majestic as before, and he looked like an old man in his dying years...
…
On the third day of the Red Bull Battle, which was the day when the Crusaders from Jiudaoguai and Maple Grove evacuated, Wuchao City held a grand celebration banquet.
When the celebration banquet was held, and upon hearing that the Crusaders from Jiudaoguai and Maple Grove had evacuated, the entire fanatical atmosphere in Wuchao City reached another climax.
Zhou Sen was not surprised by the news of the evacuation of the Crusaders from Jiudaoguai and Maple Grove.
General Gore knew very well that within the scope of Wuchao City, the army and horses of the Han Empire had an absolute advantage. Once Wuchao City breathed a sigh of relief, large-scale measures would be taken against Jiudaoguai and Fengshulin.
military operations.
The advantage of the Crusaders was the cavalry. Facing the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, the Crusaders had no chance of winning.
What the Han Empire was best at was using infantry to attack cities. If the Han Empire's infantry had the cover of the Huns' cavalry, it would be a nightmare for the Jiudaoguai and Maple Grove Crusaders defenders.
Faced with this predicament, there is no doubt that the two barracks cannot be defended. Since they cannot be defended, it is better to evacuate proactively to preserve their strength.
It has to be said that General Gore is a very far-sighted military strategist. He is able to understand choices, be decisive in killing, and know how to cut through the mess quickly to avoid a stalemate in the war. This will cause a psychological blow to the indomitable Crusaders.
In addition, after burning the two barracks, Wuchao City can be more or less contained for a period of time. After all, the two barracks are the corners of Wuchao City. Wuchao City will definitely spend a lot of money to repair it. This is to some extent
It is also a kind of check on Wuchao City, and it can also consume a lot of supplies from Wuchao City...
…
When the news of the evacuation of the Crusaders from the two barracks reached Wuchao City, the climax of the banquet reached its peak, and Zhou Sen became the center of attention. Zhou Sen was surrounded by all kinds of flattery.
.
All the civil and military officials of the Han Empire congratulated Zhou Sen. Even the current emperor issued an edict to make Zhou Sen the undefeated God of War.
If Zhou Sen's title of Undefeated God of War was a spontaneous reward from the people in the past, then now Zhou Sen's title of Undefeated God of War is justifiable and well-deserved by the public.
In the eyes of some officials of the Han Empire, Zhou Sen would be the second General Wu Yuan, possessing power over both the government and the public. As for the real Wu Yuan army, he was already declining.
General Wu Yuan only attended the celebration banquet at the beginning, and then hid in a small room.
The room is divided by bead curtains, so you can see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside.
Seeing the stars holding the moon in front of Zhou Sen, who frequently raised his glasses, General Wu Yuan had mixed feelings. Back then, he was also so prosperous, but with the passage of time, he is no longer as brave as he used to be.
The little emperor kept moving around the room, and from time to time he would come to the bead curtain and look curiously.
Seeing the confused look on the little emperor's face, General Wu Yuan let out a long sigh, coughed violently again, and coughed up large clumps of blood.
The golden melon god sitting next to General Wu Yuan is like a sculpture, with a blank face and no expression at all.
The Han Empire was in turmoil...
Finally, Zhou Sen dismissed all the civil and military officials.
From beginning to end, Zhou Sen paid attention to one person - Lu Axe.
Lu Shatou was drinking alone. He did not crowd around him like Cai Ping, Xiao Yi and Lu Tutu. Instead, he sat in the corner and poured himself a glass of wine without saying a word.
In this Red Bull battle, Zhou Sen's light overshadowed Lu Axe. Everyone gave Zhou Sen the credit. Almost no one realized that without Lu Axe, the turnaround of the situation would not have been so clear, let alone
There will be good news about the evacuation of Jiudaoguai and Maple Grove Crusaders.
Of course, Lu Shatou never cared about competing with Zhou Sen for the limelight, he was thinking about other things.
Jiutian Xuannv, Shen Huimin and the others, Lu Futou didn't know how to deal with Zhou Sen. After all, he had promised to protect them.
Of course, besides the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl, Lu Axe had more important things to discuss with Zhou Sen.
When Zhou Sen walked up to him, he just hugged him hard.
"Zhou Sen..." Lu Axe hesitated to speak.
"Brothers are happy today. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later and drink." Zhou Sen raised his glass with a smile.
"Yeah." Lu Ax nodded heavily.
"Come, let's have a drink, brothers!" Zhou Sen turned around and said to Xiao Yi and Cai Ping.
"Fuck!" Everyone responded with a roar, and the atmosphere was extremely heated.
…
"sit."
In the secret room, General Wu Yuan motioned Zhou Sen to sit down, and poured tea for Zhou Sen himself. Zhou Sen, who was still unfazed by the favor, quickly stood up, but was stopped by General Wu Yuan and had to sit down.
Why did General Wu Yuan keep him late at night?
Looking at General Wu Yuan pouring tea slowly, countless questions arose in Zhou Sen's mind. He knew very well that General Wu Yuan's visit to him was definitely not on official business, because there was no need for official duties to be at three steps, one post, five steps, one post.
in the secret room.
"Zhou Sen, I won't live long." General Wu Yuan said slowly.
"General!" Zhou Sen's body trembled, and he quickly took out a large pile of pills from the Qiankun Ring, "I have some pills here..."
"Thank you for your kindness. I know my own business."
General Wu Yuan looked at the pile of pills in Zhou Sen's hand, shook his head, and showed a trace of relief on his face.
