Chapter 634: Violent Qin 4

In the era of cold weapons, the breaking of the battle line means that the end of the battle is already sealed at this moment.

The Han soldiers easily dispersed the auxiliary troops of the Pa army, and Xu Daizhuo led the guards to make a detour to attack the back of Gulam on the right.

The light cavalry that accompanied the Ghulam charge was completely powerless to stop it, and in fact, the moment the middle line was broken through, the rout of the light cavalry of the Pars Army had already begun.

Gulam, who was fighting fiercely with the heavy cavalry of the Qin army, was flanked in front and back, and then lost the determination to continue the fight and began to try to turn around and escape.

The Pars Army collapsed on all fronts.

The armored cavalry is full of momentum when charging, as if it were an armored cluster, but when it escapes, it will look clumsy, especially after charging once, and even the best horses will not have enough physical strength to escape the enemy's pursuit under such a heavy load.

Now, the Qin cavalry only needed to catch up with the enemy, and then hit the back of the head with the weapon in their hand, and they could easily take out a once formidable enemy.

It's a lot of effort.

The battle turned into a one-sided slaughter, and Qarluku and other wall-weeds rushed up like hyenas and vultures to bite the Parsians.

The Qin army started from the battlefield west of Barasagon and pursued for more than fifty miles, until it was completely impossible to see after dark, and then Mingjin withdrew his troops.

In the Battle of Barasagon, the Qin army completely destroyed the eastern legion of the Pars Empire, killing more than 20,000 enemies and taking nearly 50,000 prisoners.

Only a few light cavalry of the Pars army who came to participate in the battle were able to break away from the battlefield, and the rest, including the 5,000 Ghulam heavy cavalry and all the infantry and auxiliaries, were annihilated.

Until much later, the poets of the Western Regions were still singing about the victory of the Great Mother Country and the sight of the Buddha's enemies lying for dozens of miles.

As an episode and epilogue of this battle, during the Battle of Barasagon, as the Qin army poured out to meet the enemy, the remaining nobles and wealthy merchants of Pars in the city of Barasagon instigated a rebellion in the city in response to the attack of Pars's army.

After a decisive victory, the Qin army returned to Barasagon and easily suppressed the rebellion.

Only this time, Xu Daixuan decided that the rebels were unforgivable, so he ordered the purge of all Pars people in the area under his control.

Except for the Han soldiers and the king of Qin, all the other soldiers in the Qin army scattered out and slaughtered the Pars people in a frenzy.

According to incomplete statistics, by the end of 1795, no less than 500,000 Pars had been killed by the Qin army, and no less than 300,000 others had been sold into slavery.

Every Qin soldier who participated in the expedition was assigned a few to a dozen male and female slaves, as well as a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock, and a large amount of arable and pasturable fertile land was distributed to the soldiers participating in the battle, and even the poorest soldiers at the time of the expedition became jeweled at this time.

……

Li Zhonghan rode a good horse in Hexi, with a saber hanging from his waist and a whip in his hand, and watched the rows of captives pass by in front of his horse.

This young Khotanese aristocrat was now in high spirits.

"Ye Go!" A cavalry guard came to Li Zhonghan's side on horseback and reported loudly: "The king of Great Qin has given us five hundred slaves, three hundred female slaves, one hundred cattle, two hundred camels, three thousand sheep, and many armor and weapons. ”

"I said it, don't call me Ye Hu in the future!" Li Zhonghan gently stroked the armor page of the gorgeous armor on his body, felt the unique cold breath of steel coming from his fingertips, and said with satisfaction: "I am the special Khotanese uncle of Prince Qin under the Great Chinese Empire!" You'll all have to call me Count from now on! ”

"Also, King Daqin is the uncle of this king, and you all have to be called 'Uncle King' in the future!"

Li Zhonghan was not called Zhonghan before, and of course he was not surnamed Li.

But that doesn't matter, hundreds of years ago, Khotan paid tribute to the Central Plains Empire, which once ruled the Western Regions, and was very lucky to marry a princess.

The imperial surname of that dynasty was Li, so when the Han people returned to the Western Regions, Li Zhonghan did not hesitate to give up the surname Hu, attached himself to the surname Li, and changed his name to the extremely sycophant Zhonghan.

Originally, Li Zhonghan also wanted to call the republican emperor of the empire "uncle", but King Qin is the grandson of the emperor, if he calls Xu Muhe uncle, wouldn't he become the elder of King Qin?

Therefore, Li Zhonghan did not hesitate to surrender his identity and called Xu Daixuan, a young man who was almost 20 years younger than him, "Uncle King".

In order to shoot the sycophants of this "uncle king", Li Zhonghan even wanted to send his youngest daughter and a granddaughter who had just turned 15 into Xu Daixuan's harem.

It can't be blamed that he licked the dog to such an extent, Khotan used to be a powerful country in the Western Regions, but it was destroyed by Pars seventy years ago, and the Khotanese royal family fled eastward, sheltering with the party and pseudo-Xia.

As a royal race, Li Zhonghan's childhood was lived in the shadow of despair, on the one hand, the enemies of the Western Regions were still pressing forward step by step, and the remaining countries of the Western Regions were desperately resisting but could not see any hope.

On the other hand, the life under the fence is not easy, the party pseudo-summer is not a charity, and it is natural to pay a large enough price to protect it, and the men in the clan have to pay taxes for the emperor of the party members; The emperor's tribute daughter who has to be the first party member in the clan every year; Each generation of heirs to the throne in the clan has to go to Xingqing Mansion to join the sanitation and sentry to the emperor of the party.

Everything seems to be stuck in a quagmire, no matter how hard they struggle, they can't break free, and only in the most beautiful dreams in the middle of the night can the bereaved people of Khotan return to their homeland built on the tributaries of the Chihe River, with abundant water and grass.

Well, now, with the Qin king's westward expedition and victory at the Battle of Barasagon, all nightmares are a thing of the past.

Because of his Han blood (although there was only a trace of it) and because there was no lower limit to licking, Li Zhonghan became a subordinate earl of the King of Qin, and was allowed to restore the kingdom with the old land of Khotan.

After recalling the old ministry and attracting the residents of other ethnic groups in the Western Regions who believe in Buddhism, after the restoration of the country, Khotan has 2,000 households, 13,000 mouths, and can dispatch 2,000 soldiers and horses, which can be regarded as one of the powerful countries in the Western Regions.

Of course, the so-called 2,000 soldiers are the result of counting all the men in the country, and this time with the King of Qin, Li Zhonghan was ordered to bring only 800 real young men.

At the beginning of the Battle of Barasagon, Li Zhonghan's fear of the enemy was almost irrepressible, after all, it was a terrible enemy who destroyed Khotan once, and their family also sent troops to the Western Regions every year to assist the countries in the Western Regions to resist the invasion of Pars during the pseudo-summer, for which every generation of their family sacrificed on the battlefield.

Therefore, Li Zhonghan was well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Pars people, especially those who were armed with horses, and in his opinion, it seemed that only the same people and horses with armor could fight against them.

This fear continued until the Battle of Barasagon where the Han soldiers easily penetrated the Pars mid-formation, and it came to an abrupt end.
