Nine hundred and fortieth chapters back to the carbine
,!
As expected, there was no meat that night, and the table was piled high with fruits and cakes. However, there were dozens of jars of wine, stacked in the corner like a hill.
One person, one rat, and one cow, drinking freely. The Bull Demon King has an astonishing amount of wine. He slaps a jar of wine away and swallows it when he raises his neck. Zhou Sen's drinking capacity is not bad. He drinks a few jars with him. When he can't drink anymore, he uses magical power to transform it.
However, the Tongtian Divine Rat has a very poor drinking capacity and the quality of the wine is very poor. When he was drunk, he grabbed the Bull Demon and beat him up. The Bull Demon King did not dare to fight back and could only endure it with his eyes wide open. Zhou Sen was dumbfounded.
, is this the legendary cruel Bull Demon King?
This meal lasted until early in the morning. After the drunken Tongtian Divine Rat beat up the Bull Demon, he started chatting with the Bull Demon incoherently. After talking about the past, there was a lot of snot and tears.
In the end, the two drank so much that they hugged each other and cried, fell down on the spot, and fell asleep.
Of course Zhou Sen would not drink wildly with them. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get information!
However, what depresses Zhou Sen is that although Niu and Mouse talk about everything, they are confused, incoherent, and messy, without the slightest clue. With Zhou Sen's IQ, he can only get a general idea.
After combing through it repeatedly, Zhou Sen finally got some clues.
The general idea is that the two of them fought in the same camp despite being their own masters many years ago. Later, they died and died, and everyone was displaced, and finally lost contact. Now they meet each other.
, even the two iron "men" were particularly sad...
…
After racking his brains, Zhou Sen only got some simple information, which was probably better than nothing.
After the two of them fell asleep, Zhou Sen called a few monsters, carried the cow and the mouse to the bed to rest, and then continued working.
Due to large-scale military conscription, Zhou Sen's official duties are very heavy, and documents that require his signature pile up every day.
Zhou Sen didn't dare to relax. He knew very well that the things he casually made may be related to the fate of some people's lives. In the future, he would not be able to stay in the Han Empire. Naturally, he did not want to leave any sequelae. Therefore, the work that can be clarified is now
Just do it, plan ahead and never delay.
The documents Zhou Sen recorded and signed were actually the identities of some soldiers. In addition to their place of origin, etc., the most important thing was that Zhou Sen wanted to pardon some deserters as prime minister, which required his personal signature for it to take effect.
This is the first time that Zhou Sen has exercised the power of prime minister. This power can be almost ignored for Zhou Sen and the current Han Empire. However, once peace comes, Zhou Sen's amnesty will affect thousands of people.
The fate of thousands of families.
Zhou Sen did not want the soldiers who fought bloody battles with him to end up in a military court.
The next day, when the first ray of sunshine fell in Tongzhou City, the busy recruitment work began again. Many people had started lining up a few hours ago, for fear of being kicked out, because there was already a notice saying that the recruitment work would
It will end this afternoon, which means that if you should not be drafted into the army today, you will have no chance in the future.
In addition to the people in Tongzhou City queuing up all night, young adults from surrounding towns and villages are also coming in a steady stream from all directions.
In order to speed up efficiency, Zhou Sen temporarily added several registration places.
Just as the recruitment work was in full swing, preparations for the expedition were also proceeding in an orderly manner.
What puzzled Zhang Laosan and his group was that Zhou Sen had explicitly ordered not to carry large amounts of food or heavy weapons.
Attacking Orange Island is not inferior to attacking Tongzhou City. If you don't carry weapons, it will only cause immeasurable casualties. However, no one dares to disobey Zhou Sen's explicit order.
All preparations are kept simple. The food ration for each person is only three days' worth. Some heavy siege equipment is not allowed to be taken away at all. Even some excess military supplies such as armor and stomach are strictly prohibited.
carry.
The most outrageous thing is that Zhou Sen actually did not allow the Han soldiers to destroy the excess military supplies, but instead sealed them in the warehouse. This made a group of generals feel incredible.
Since Tongzhou City is abandoned, then sealing these weapons is equivalent to leaving them to the Crusaders.
At the same time, Zhou Sen ordered that all the dogs and geese in Tongzhou City be killed, and even the dogs and geese in nearby towns were killed without leaving any one behind.
Some of Zhou Sen's actions made everyone feel unreasonable, but no one objected.
Zhou Sen's legendary stories are very popular in the Han Empire. Even some women and children can tell some of Zhou Sen's classic battles. People have an almost blind worship of Zhou Sen...
…
That night, the conscription ended, and after statistics, the total number of new recruits was 78,000, of which 23,000 were veterans who had been defeated and re-enlisted.
After resting for two hours, in the early morning, in the dead of night, hundreds of thousands of troops set off on the road.
On the road without any warning.
Whether they were new soldiers or veterans, they all felt incredible about the sudden decision to abandon Tongzhou City. However, no one dared to disobey the military orders, not to mention that the coach was the famous bandit Zhou Sen.
The legend about Zhou Sen can be said to be mixed, but whether it is criticized or praised, there is no doubt that Zhou Sen is an iron-blooded soldier. In addition to his steely willpower, he also has bloody wrists to challenge his authority.
, undoubtedly joking with his own life.
Hundreds of thousands of troops abandoned hundreds of thousands of Tongzhou City residents sleeping in their beds on a vast snowy night and left quietly.
Without dogs and geese, Tongzhou City is so quiet at night that it is suffocating.
On this cold and freezing night, no one would be walking on the street. Even if someone encountered the evacuating troops, they would mistakenly think that Zhou Sen was going to take some military action. They would never have thought that Zhou Sen had completely abandoned Tongzhou City.
.
When the sun rose, the entire Tongzhou City was silent, and the originally heavily guarded city walls were empty.
At first, people didn't take it seriously, but an atmosphere of fear soon spread throughout the city. Soon, people understood that Tongzhou City had been abandoned by Zhou Sen.
No one knows why Zhou Sen gave up Tongzhou City, but there is no doubt that this is a huge blow to the people of Tongzhou City. You must know that many people have spent all their wealth in order to support Zhou Sen, and many people even gave up their family's money.
All the young and middle-aged men went to the battlefield, vowing to defend Tongzhou City even if they shed the last drop of their blood. However, Zhou Sen evacuated without any warning, and even left quietly without even saying hello.
He left quietly...
Amidst the curses all over the city, the Crusaders rushed in from all directions and reoccupied Tongzhou City without any effort.
The flag of the Crusaders was planted again on Tongzhou City.
Just when Tongzhou City fell into the hands of the Crusaders again, Zhou Sen was already in a small town eighty miles away. There were hundreds of cavalry and more than 2,000 infantry stationed in the small town. Unprepared,
They were surrounded by Zhou Sen's large army, and they were all annihilated with thunderous force, leaving no one behind.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in this small town. The entire small town was blocked and only allowed in but not allowed out.
No one knows what kind of medicine Zhou Sen is selling, but a group of generals are getting more and more anxious, because the food carried by hundreds of thousands of troops can only last for three days, even if the food in small towns is included.
It can support for a week at most. Now it is freezing cold and the roads are blocked by heavy snow. It is impossible to collect food and grass for hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time...
A blizzard was raging in the wilderness, throwing up snowflakes all over the sky.
The traces left by the hundreds of thousands of troops in the snowfield were quickly covered by the flying snow. The few black-winged Kunpengs in the sky were all killed by Zhou Sen's arrow technique.
In order to ensure that no traces were exposed, Zhou Sen went on a killing spree and shot all the birds that came close to him without letting them go.
In this wasteland, a group of monsters finally came into use. They moved around the army, and any suspicious targets were immediately killed...
The Crusaders who originally rushed from all directions to besiege Tongzhou City lost track of Zhou Sen.
As time went by, there were more and more crusaders in Tongzhou City.
When Tongzhou City fell, Ju Ling Shen, the defender of Orange Island, issued a series of orders, asking the Crusader garrison around Tongzhou City to assemble to recapture Tongzhou City from the hands of the Han.
When it comes to the guardian giant spirit god of Orange Island, it is necessary to explain it clearly.
The Crusade led by General Gore was the first expeditionary force sent by the Kingdom of Heaven to the Han Dynasty, but it was not the only one.
The Kingdom of Heaven sent a total of four armies to the expedition against the Han Empire, forming an echelon formation and echoing each other. Among them, General Gore was only one of the commanders of the four armies, while the commander of one of the other three armies was the Giant Spirit God, and the remaining
There are two armies, one is stationed on the territory of the Er Empire, and the other is stationed in the capital of the Han Dynasty.
For the Crusaders, Tongzhou City was too important, because as long as the Han Dynasty occupied Tongzhou City, it could form a distant echo with Zhenshuiguan, and the strategic depth of Zhenshuiguan would become wider and wider.
The most important thing is that the Crusaders lost two important cities one after another, which was a serious blow to the morale of the Crusaders. Therefore, recapturing Tongzhou City was crucial to boosting the morale of the Crusaders.
Because of the Crusaders who escaped and the huge intelligence system, the defenders of Orange Continent already knew the strength of the Han in Tongzhou City. It was precisely because they knew the military intelligence of the Han so well that Julingshen, the defender of Orange Continent, decided to
, to regain Tongzhou City at all costs.
In order to have a decisive strike force and ensure the recovery of Tongzhou City, the Giant Spirit God mobilized 70,000 cavalry.
Seventy thousand cavalry is already the limit that the Giant Spirit God can recruit in a short period of time. However, the Giant Spirit God is fully confident in capturing Tongzhou City because he knows the weaknesses of the Han army and also knows that Tongzhou City is now an undefended city.
City.
In order to ensure success, the helpless Djinn God formulated a careful military plan and adopted the tactic that the Crusader cavalry was best at - harassment warfare.
The Rangers of the Crusaders were powerful throughout the world, and at this time, Tongzhou City was already an undefended city. According to the design of the Giant Spirit God, the 70,000-strong army was prepared for a protracted war, using the surrounding towns as strongholds to attack in turn.
Tongzhou City was slowly consuming the combat effectiveness of the Han army. He believed that Tongzhou City would fall into the hands of the Crusaders again without the end of winter.
Crusaders from all directions did not arrive at Tongzhou City at the same time, because for the rangers, there was no need to gather together. Their tactics were to kill the Han army bit by bit, rather than attack by force.
When the first batch of crusaders arrived at Tongzhou City, they were all shocked when they looked at the wide open city gate.
No one thought that Tongzhou City would become an empty city overnight.
No one can understand why Zhou Sen gave up without warning after working so hard to capture Tongzhou City.
Facing an empty city without any resistance, the Crusaders were stunned at first, and then overjoyed. After all, no one wanted to fight guerrilla warfare in the snowy fields in this freezing weather.
In this harsh winter, it is best to stay in the barracks and drink steaming ginger tea.
The Crusaders reoccupied Tongzhou City without spending a single soldier...
…
Just as the Crusaders were rushing towards Tongzhou City, Zhou Sen, who had rested in a small town for three days, suddenly issued an order on a snowy night that stunned everyone.
Fight back to Tongzhou City!
After Zhou Sen gave the order, everyone felt a sudden realization.
No wonder he only brought enough food for three days.
No wonder I don't carry those heavy equipment.
No wonder...
…
On a night when the cold wind was howling and the snow was flying, Zhou Sen led an army of hundreds of thousands and rushed to Tongzhou City at starry night.
Eighty miles, at the lowest pace, only takes four hours.
Four hours later, when we arrived at Tongzhou City, it was still dark.
"General, why do you want to kill him back?" The Bull Demon King was puzzled. This question tortured him for three hours. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Tongzhou City, he finally couldn't help but ask.
In fact, it was not just the Bull Demon King who was puzzled. All the senior generals did not understand. When the Bull Demon King raised the question, they all watched eagerly as Zhou Sen solved the mystery.
"The effective forces that can annihilate the Crusaders can be concentrated." Zhou Sen, riding on the ferocious unicorn, glanced at the Bull Demon King beside him. Although the Bull Demon King was walking beside him, he was extremely tall and tall, but not much shorter than Zhou Sen.
The power of the dragon and the tiger is astonishing.
"Concentrate and annihilate..." The Bull Demon King was obviously not a smart monster. He scratched his head and still couldn't figure it out.
"I understand!" Zhang Laosan, who was riding beside Zhou Sen, said loudly and excitedly.
"Haha, tell me." Zhou Sen smiled.
"The current wall of Tongzhou City has collapsed and cannot be repaired for a while. It is actually an undefended city. If we stick to the city, we will be passive. The Crusader Rangers are invincible in the world. They only need to send rangers to harass every day, even
, they can rush into the city wall and massacre, but we don’t have much cavalry and can’t deal with it. We can only defend passively. If the tug-of-war lasts for a long time, Tongzhou City will naturally not be protected..."
"Continue." There was a hint of appreciation on Zhou Sen's face. Although this third child is vulgar, it is both coarse and fine. A little bit can make a difference. With more training, it is not impossible to become a famous general.
"If we abandon Tongzhou City and wait for the Crusaders to gather in Tongzhou City, the situation will be completely different. Not only can we let the Red Bulls exert their invincible advantage, but we can also sneak attack them and catch them by surprise. At that time
, Their cavalry may not have mounted their horses yet, but our army has already poured into Tongzhou City..." Zhang Laosan blushed and danced, extremely excited.
"Yes." Zhou Sen nodded happily.
"General, he is indeed worthy of his reputation!" The Bull Demon King took a long breath and gave Zhou Sen a thumbs up.
"It's easy to talk about." Zhou Sen was extremely happy. Being able to be praised by a legendary mythical figure, his mood was naturally indescribable.
"We have been stationary in the town for three days, are we waiting for the Crusaders to gather?" Zhang Laosan seemed to be unsure about some questions and wanted to get confirmation from Zhou Sen.
"Yes. With the current snowstorm and harsh climate, it is impossible for the Crusaders to gather large armies from too far away to attack Tongzhou City. So, the only feasible way is to gather the garrison troops from the small towns around Tongzhou City to Tongzhou City. It is cold now.
It was freezing and the weather was bad. It would take at least three days to gather the Crusaders from the surrounding areas. Three days later, the Crusaders gathered. At this time, they traveled a long way to prepare for a bloody battle. However, they did not expect that there were no Han soldiers in Tongzhou City. This would make
They were overjoyed, their tight nerves relaxed, and they fell into exhaustion. Then, it was impossible for the Crusaders to return immediately at this time. In addition, Tongzhou City was rich in supplies. At least, they had to rest in Tongzhou City for a few days before attacking Tongzhou.
The city is the best opportunity to gather together and annihilate the enemy! In addition, once we annihilate these Crusaders, then the surrounding villages and towns will be back under the control of the Han Dynasty, and some local resistance forces of the Han Dynasty will also have a chance to breathe.
As long as they catch their breath, they will become the central force against the Crusaders..."
"I see!"
Zhang Laosan and a group of generals around him looked at Zhou Sen with reverence.
Zhou Sen's plan can be said to be flawless. He not only speculated on the military operations of the Crusaders, but also calculated all the situations that the Crusaders would face without omitting anything. It is really incredible.
The blizzard is still raging across the land, the north wind is howling, and the entire sky has become gray.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were trudging through the snowy fields wearing white cloaks. Everyone knew that today, they would create a new miracle.
The cold snowflakes did not cool down people's boiling blood.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, including new recruits, are full of fighting spirit, looking forward to the miracle that is about to come, and looking forward to the stunned faces of the Crusaders.
When they arrived outside Tongzhou City, this mighty army was divided into three groups. They approached Tongzhou City little by little through the wind and snow that blocked the sky. Everyone was careful and did not make the slightest sound, because
, the soldiers knew very well that every time they got closer to Tongzhou City, they would have more victories and fewer casualties.
At the same time, Zhou Sen sent out all the experts around him, including a group of monsters, to hunt down the Crusaders' sentries.
On this freezing night, there were almost no people on the city wall. Even if occasionally a fur-covered head poked out and took a symbolic look outside, in fact, no one thought that there was no one on this ice and snow.
Like a knife, someone will attack the city at night.
There is no moonlight.
However, under the shining of the white snow, the outline of the towering city wall of Tongzhou City is still clearly visible, and several gaps destroyed by the red bulls are still vividly visible.
Outside the three destroyed city walls, tens of thousands of Han infantry had gathered densely.
The anti-slip materials prepared long ago were laid layer by layer on the gaps in the city wall...
…
The first group to attack the city were not infantry or red bulls, but a few thousand cavalry.
It is worth mentioning here that when the Han Dynasty captured Tongzhou City last time, although the Han Dynasty captured more than 20,000 war horses, there were not many soldiers who were good at riding and shooting.
The Huns on horseback. In the Han Empire, many soldiers had never touched a horse in their lives, let alone fought on horseback.
Among the hundreds of thousands of troops, there were only more than 3,000 cavalry in total, which shows that the Han cavalry was scarce.
More than three thousand cavalrymen, their horses' hooves wrapped in velvet blankets, quietly stepped onto the city wall.
When three thousand cavalry stepped onto the city wall, they were finally discovered by a conscientious Crusader sentry.
