Chapter 690: Broken Leaves—River 2

Hearing this news, Outer Tibetan Sauron and the people of Outer Tibetan Muguls couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers.

Cannon is truth.

This truth is especially easy to understand for the Tartars, who are good at bullying the weak.

In the past, although the Han soldiers in the Qin army were strong, they could not be considered complete Han soldiers without artillery.

Now that there are cannons, although there are only twenty cannons, it is still far from the hundreds of cannons that the Chinese army used to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, but this is the truth.

All Sauron and Mughal people firmly believe that the Han people who possess the truth are invincible!

Then no matter how many enemy troops come from the river, it is a fat pig, and if you slaughter them, you will be able to make a fortune!

In a relaxed mood, the Tartars have already begun to discuss what good things they can grab this time, as if chatting about family life.

Last time in the Barasagon big break Pars army, each soldier who participated in the battle was given a lot of booty, horses and camels and other large animals were first concentrated to the king, and then distributed to each family according to the size of the merit, this year's spring ploughing, many people used horses to pull the plow, the efficiency is much higher than that of people pushing the plow.

There are also a large number of weapons and armor, the Han people don't care much about these things, people have guns, and they don't care about armor, those swords and old-style iron armor are naturally cheaper for Tartar soldiers.

At that time, the square in front of the Broken Leaf Palace was full of weapons, and each family selected them according to the quota, picking out the remaining rags or even returning them directly to the furnace.

Of course, the more important thing is actually slaves, although the Tartars do not have the right to keep slaves, but if there are more slaves, you can rent a few slaves from the Han people for a small amount of money to do farm work, or be a farmer for the Han people, and just manage the work of those slaves.

This saves a lot of effort and gives the Tartars the stamina to participate in more oily labor - guarding caravans, convoys, or hunting.

By the way, there are many slaves, and the Tartars can use credit or money to buy a mother-in-law of Pars.

Slave women are always cheap.

Xu Daixuan looked at these elated barbarians coldly.

They are all their own subordinates, which is true, but as they are, if the Chinese Empire declines, they will still become a threat to the Han Chinese.

Just like a pack of wolves, if a human being is strong, then any tartar will behave like a dog, and if a human being is weak, then it will definitely pounce and bite.

We have to find a way to train them well." ’

One way to do this is to break them up and keep them from organizing.

Nowadays, except for a few cities such as Broken Leaves, the Qin State lives in villages. In order to make it impossible for the alien soldiers to organize into a whole, the Han, Sauron, Mongul, Tibetan, Uighur and Qiang ethnic groups in the Western Regions were all mixed.

Generally speaking, a village of 100 households should have 10 Han Chinese families, 30 Sauron and Mongul, 30 Tibetan families, and the rest Uighurs and Qiang from the Western Regions, as well as local Tiele and Pars slaves.

With the Han people as the main administrators of the village, the villagers of all ethnic groups do not belong to each other and do not know each other, and it is difficult to connect them by blood or other ties.

It's just that when the time came to fight, due to the different equipment and techniques and tactics, the Qin army still had to organize its own battalions as ethnic units as a basic organization.

Xu Daixuan planned that after this victory, he would take advantage of the opportunity to share the spoils of war and buy people's hearts and minds to completely disrupt the combat units, preferring to be weaker in combat effectiveness, but also to change the status quo of the separate grouping of various nationalities, and reorganize the Qin army with Han people as officers as much as possible.

……

Samarkand, which means "fertile land" in Sogdian, is the oldest and most prosperous city in Central Asia.

A thousand years ago, the Han people called it Kangju, and the main inhabitants were the Sogdians, a merchant people, who had established the Kangju Protectorate here during the Tang Dynasty, but later the Tang army abandoned this important city and withdrew to the mainland, and it was annexed by the Parsians.

The Sogdians, who lived here earlier, were good at business, and during the Han Dynasty, they were a merchant people who traveled to and from the Silk Road for profit, and they were known for their wealth in Central Asia, but they never had a unified state.

So, although it was the Sogdians who gave the city prosperity, the owner of this "fertile land" was now the emperor Volodyasis III of the Pars.

Volodyasis III was nearly fifty years old, and his body was huge and his muscles were tense, and his magnificent gold armor bulged up.

With a thick black beard and a golden helmet in the shape of a lion, it's easy to think it's a real lion.

Volodyasis III was a martial artist, and his greatest hobbies in life were conquest, fine wine, and beautiful women.

In the past forty years of his life, he has successfully conquered vast lands and imprisoned the most beautiful wives and sisters of the conquered in his harem.

Such an emperor, who was proud of his martial arts, of course, could not accept that the land he ruled was robbed by others.

So a year after losing Barasagon, he personally led the main force of the Pars army to "recover" the territory.

"Dalkeqing, do you still insist on opposing a direct attack?"

Emperor Pars's voice was heavy, like a lion roaring, and the faint of heart would most likely tremble when they heard this questioning from the king, and would no longer hold their own opinions.

But Darke is a man who sticks his guns.

"I am against a direct march into Barasagon, Your Majesty."

In the hall of the emperor's residence, Darke knelt down on one knee and said in a voice that was neither loud nor small, but very firm

"It is impossible for us to take the enemy's city. If we still have a chance in the field, the probability of success in the siege is too low. ”

When China was still a Qi state, Dalk had traveled to the Far East to study, he had seen the early Chinese artillery, and even participated in several major battles between the Chinese army and the Jin army (he returned to China not long after the Battle of the Yellow River).

At that time, the characteristic of the Chinese army was that the defense was almost impregnable.

With a large amount of fortifications, combined with artillery and muskets, Darch believed that no one could conquer a city of China with enough troops to garrison it.

The Qin army was also part of the Chinese army, and if possible, Darke hoped to be able to lure the Qin army into the wilderness, taking advantage of the poor mobility of the Qin artillery, destroying it in the field, and then attacking Barasagon with the captured artillery.

A direct siege of the city will only be a disaster.

"The courage of Captain Darkovan does not know where it went."

Before the emperor could speak, another captain of ten thousand horsemen standing beside Volodyasis III said with a sneer

"That kind of thing called a cannon is also being trial-produced in China, I went to see it, and it is indeed very powerful, but the advantages and disadvantages of that kind of thing are almost equally obvious - the hit rate is too low!"

"The most powerful weapons in the world are still courage and sword, we have such a big advantage in strength, if we don't even dare to take the initiative to attack, the aliens will definitely laugh at our courage."

"Farlanqing is right." Volodyasis III looked at Darke indifferently and made a final decision: "If you don't have the courage to face the enemy head-on, then don't go into battle, act with the crown prince in the rear, and protect him." ”

"Let's attack!"
