Chapter 700: Countermeasures
Although the students of Xuetang Island have experienced small-scale wars, but in such large-scale wars, they only participated in the one of Emperor Liu Heng, who participated in the transportation of materials and had no actual combat experience.
They are very strong in individual force, but in this kind of group battle, how much they can play depends on luck.
It can be seen that the person who conveyed the news came. It is estimated that it is also very nervous.
Usually smart and clever people, but the message conveyed is not clear.
If this person is not a student of Xuetang Island, Qian Rujun will probably wonder if this person is his subordinate, and whether it will be discovered by someone about the use of space nodes by students on Xuetang Island.
Qian Rujun also felt a headache about what happened thousands of miles away, and asked her to go back to the rescue, which was impossible, and she could only rely on their people in Metroidvania City to deal with this difficulty.
At least, the people who participated in the battle, only themselves.
Qian Rujun came to this place and used the top speed flight many times.
Although Qian Rujun still walks on land most of the time, the flight time is not short, so it is very difficult to return to Metroidvania City quickly.
Qian Rujun has not tried to send herself to the space node to transmit, she feels that the transmission of goods and the transmission of people are two completely different concepts.
I don't know why, she never dared to make such an attempt.
Because she felt that the teleportation of space nodes seemed to be a kind of travel, tearing apart space and time to reach another place.
I don't know what kind of toss will go through in the middle, in fact, except for animals, she has not transported living people, and the animals themselves are already dead animals. That is, the meat of cattle and sheep.
"The nomads of the north, when they move, do not know at all whether they want to attack or to approach peacefully to trade. More than 200,000 people is indeed too much for the current Metroidvania.
And our warriors themselves, in the beginning, were not the most valiant warriors, they were just herdsmen.
Although the herdsmen of the grassland can fight on horseback, there is a big difference between a small-scale battle and a large-scale battle.
Herdsmen, everyone's fighting skills are still very different.
People who are constantly on the field will learn the skills of saving their lives, and although we often let them move on the battlefield during this time, we don't know how they have learned. ”
Qian Rujun thought of what they had been asked to do recently, they were simply treated as laborers, and only part of the time they were soldiers. I don't know what the consequences will be when I go to war.
But she also didn't believe that the other party would be a warrior.
It is estimated that many tribes migrated together, and maybe even the elderly, children, and women were brought out.
"Princess, the ability they can exert seems to be stronger than before, and after being soaked in divine power, the people who snatched it back have one hundred and fifty percent of their previous abilities.
Facing their strongest warriors one-on-one, there is still a chance of victory, but now we only have more than 100,000 people, and they have more than 200,000 people, this battle may be difficult to decide, and maybe the Metroidvania City we have worked so hard to build will be destroyed. ”
The students of Gakudo Island cherish the fruits of their labor, and they know very well that Metroidvania is proof of their existence.
"I'm curious, how do they count? I know I have more than 100,000 men. This is the result of your detailed count, but how do they know that the enemy has more than 200,000 people.
Will they be able to calculate?
I hear you guys, they haven't met it yet, they just got the news. I don't know what kind of people the other party is, only that they are from the East. ”
Students of Xuetang Island, you look at me, I look at you, they have no way to answer this question.
After further questioning, it was revealed that their source came from a team that had gone out to spread the news of the Metroidvania trade.
The team traveled far away, and in the far east, there were tribes in the east that were migrating in their direction.
At the same time, they found that the power of the steppe seemed to be emptied. At least, they were met not with slaughter, but with retreat.
This made their ambitions slowly rise.
What they found came, and no power could stop it.
Perhaps the news of the death of the Xiongnu has already been conveyed.
As far as the grassland people are concerned, they never think that the Han people, the farming people, will come to encroach on their grazing land.
For them, once the strongest of them have been harvested, they will consider it safe and return to their original land.
They are accustomed to knowing that the farming people will not stay in this place anymore.
Because for the agrarian people, if they want to cultivate the land, they just have to ask for it from the south.
The land they can cultivate is already exhausted, and there is no need to go to the grassland to grab land from them.
It never occurred to them that the farming peoples of the south would be interested in their land, nor that they would be able to compete for the land that belonged to them.
Of course, if they could, they would also like to go south.
But most of the time, they find that being surrounded by a flock of sheep is not very pleasant.
And they were right, if modern technology hadn't destroyed the old world.
If Qian Rujun did not appear, in fact, the Han nation really did not have the ability to rule the grassland.
The biggest constraint is the population.
The population of this era was too small compared to later generations.
The small ones did not even have the population of a province in later generations.
Many people think that distance is also an issue, if you draw a big circle from Chang'an, the distance from Lingnan is far farther than the grassland.
In this case, distance doesn't seem to be an issue.
The grassland roads are flat, and for the Han people, walking is not the biggest problem.
The biggest problem is that the people in this place are too tough and undisciplined, and there is no way to graze on this land like cattle and sheep, which means that it is too difficult to manage, and too fierce.
For the Han Emperor, the cost of managing this land was too high, so they never wanted to include this place in the management before, but if they did not include this place in the management, they would invade the south at any time.
This is an unsolvable cycle for the emperor, and the emperor Liu Heng wants to break it, and his approach is to leave the biggest variable of this era, Qian Rujun, in the grassland.
Therefore, except for a few emperors who were interested in this land and wanted to use this land to increase their military force as Qian Rujun thought, no one was interested in this place.
In fact, having the ability to conquer the grassland is actually very helpful for expanding the land.
But here's the problem, if you continue to expand, distance becomes a problem.
If the distance is far enough away, is there any benefit to ruling this place with the Great Han?
Because the jurisdiction is too difficult, the fastest speed of jurisdiction in this era is the use of horses, even if the establishment of rail transit, it does not exceed the ability of horses to walk, with the fastest way, is to constantly replace horses to spread information, but only three days can walk 800 kilometers.
The lag of time will delay many things, and some things can expand infinitely and become out of control as long as a single individual takes eight days, so the main reason for the lack of management ability in this era is actually distance.
In fact, the feudal dynasty has not given jurisdiction to the places under the county, because their salaries are only given to the county force, and there are too few people below the county level who can receive official salaries, and the local people are actually the people themselves, and many people are even local patriarchs, or local gentry, that is, local power units.
"In fact, wars are not won by a large number of people. Those 200,000 people, you students on the Academy Island don't need to be afraid.
The students of Academy Island that I stayed in Metroidvania, at least, there are more than a hundred people, and you all have more or less experience in war, and you also have some understanding of how the people of the grassland fight.
Instead of passively waiting for people to come and fight, it is better to take the initiative to find out what they are doing.
If they really have bad intentions as always, then break them up.
Even if there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people, we can solve it, and our horses have been well fed and clothed all this winter.
And their horses are actually too thin to be able to do it.
They were preparing to eat this spring, and we were well fed, and in their eyes, people like us were actually the ones who happened to rob.
But will you be so easy to rob? Actually, although you can't go back, you have no problem conveying the idea of war.
And the materials you need, I can help you mobilize them from Jinmai City, what are you afraid of?
There are no de facto walls in Metroidvania, which means we don't want to hide in Metroidvania and be attacked by others.
If someone else wants to attack Metroidvania, what we have to do is take the initiative, even if they are all killed, we can go back and collect some people to start over.
We only spent a little over a month in Metroidvania, and it took another month or so to start over, what's so difficult?"
In fact, the students of Xuetang Island are not lacking in courage, but before they give them a goal by Qian Rujun, they don't know what to do is the best, because in their minds, Qian Rujun's orders are the most important, so no matter what they think, as long as Qian Rujun has different orders, their thoughts must be eliminated in their minds.
"We know what to do, in fact, our cars can be used as chariots, and steel can actually be used as appearances, not afraid of fire. ”
From the words of the students of Gakudo Island, you know what tricks they want to use. But Qian Rujun was actually reluctant.
It is irresponsible for the Han people to let the steppe people learn too strong methods of attack.
"It seems that coal and stone grease have allowed you to find a way to attack? This method of attack will cause environmental pollution, and if you can not use it, you can not use it, and we can actually accept the death of a few grassland people, anyway, it is not the Han people who die. ”
Qian Rujun knew that the grassland people at this time were actually different from the grassland people of later generations, and in the continuous robbery and killing of tribes and tribes, I don't know if any of their descendants can be passed on to future generations.
The Mongols were actually a people who came down further north, and were not at all the same thing as the steppe people of today.
The prairie people, in fact, are feuds themselves, but they are also the people who are most able to let go of the concept of feuds.
Qian Rujun knew that his participation had actually changed this era, and he didn't know the fate of many tribes, if the Wuhuan people really attacked, it would not necessarily be a good thing for them, perhaps, they would lose the battle under these people in Metroidvania, and then disappear into history.
The biggest difference between the grassland people under Qian Rujun and the more than 200,000 grassland people who came from Wuheng is that they are a whole, not a scattered.
Although Qian Rujun was thousands of miles away, the orders he gave were conveyed through the heart, and were not hindered by spatial distance.
He can directly give a very simple order, although it will consume a lot of mental power, and that order is to obey the command of the students on the school island, and do whatever they say you do.
In this case, even if they have other ideas in their minds, they will follow the instructions and their minds will automatically change their thoughts without feeling anything wrong.
This is the biggest barrier for Qian Rujun to leave Metroidvania.
No matter how they counted the number of 200,000 people, it was not much in Qian Rujun's eyes, unless they received the same command and management.
But what Qian Rujun knew, the Wuheng people had never been a tribe.
Rather, it is composed of countless tribes, so their management is very fragmented, and they often gather many tribes before invading outward.
Even if their king gives orders, they must be in the interests of their race before they are followed.
Moreover, it is only spring when the grass and trees have just begun, sprouting and growing, and there is no way for so many people to forage in the same space, these people are definitely scattered.
This gave the steppe people of Metroidvania, who had enough logistical strength, a very big chance to defeat them.
There is no big difference between the population of 100,000 people and 200,000 people, and it is estimated that for these steppe people, they will still feel that 200,000 beggars can bring them not much, and they may not want to fight.
However, they will not disobey Qian Rujun's orders.
Now they are very fond of loot, because they can exchange things with the caravan people, and even many of the women of their steppe have already participated in the sale, and even go south with the caravan people to sell what they have put away.
It's just that they will soon find out that since they are steppe people, the people of Chang'an will not do good business with them, and it is better to use these caravans to send their goods to the south. They are also able to make more profits.
And they are in Metroidvania, and when they collect these materials, they will also get paid accordingly to make their lives better.
