Chapter 211: Mu Guiying Sets Out
Click!
The sabers in the hands of the Qin cavalry continued to harvest the lives of the Huns, and in the face of a group of unprepared and physically exhausted Huns, the battle was very smooth, and there was basically no much resistance.
10,000 armed horsemen against the unarmed Huns, the battle was decided from the beginning. The Huns, who kept falling, finally collapsed completely, and knelt down and surrendered one after another amid the shouts of the Qin soldiers, which was a chance to survive.
In less than twenty minutes, 6,000 Hun iron horsemen who crossed the desert were completely annihilated, and Han Xin's 10,000 horsemen did not cause even minor injuries.
To illustrate a problem, the Huns who crossed the desert really reached the point when the mountains and rivers were exhausted. There is no supply, no support, and it is completely in absolute predicament.
Think about it, too, into the situation of killing war horses to satisfy hunger. For the Huns, the war horse is life, and it is better to kill the war horse than to commit suicide.
In twenty minutes, more than 2,000 Huns were killed, and the rest were captured.
Through the interrogation of the captives, Xiao Hanxin learned the details of the Huns who had crossed the desert.
When crossing the desert, the Hun iron cavalry was a total of 50,000 cavalry, passing through the great desert, there were constantly iron cavalry falling, plus bad luck, encountering a desert storm, 50,000 iron cavalry suddenly decreased by more than half.
The desert storm did not cause heavy losses to the Huns, the problem was that the supplies were basically lost.
After more than 20 days of arduous marching, I was lucky enough to not go in the wrong direction, and finally crossed the desert.
The Huns did not have compasses, sextants or anything like that, and it was entirely up to luck to cross the desert. Even very experienced people can have a hard time crossing the desert without a compass or something. There is no sense of direction, and the desert is everywhere you jump into.
The jade gate was closed, and after receiving a report from Xiao Hanxin, saying that it was the total annihilation of the six thousand Hun iron horsemen who had crossed the desert, Jiang Song was finally relieved.
Yumenguan Heavy Industrial Park is an important industrial base of the Qin Empire, not only oil refineries, but also dozens of enterprises such as chemicals, fertilizers, and steel plants.
The Qin Empire had begun to mass-produce internal combustion engines, and oil became a scarce commodity for the empire. Yumen Pass was an important oil production base of the Qin Empire, and the oil resources in other places were basically not exploited.
A few days later, Xiao Hanxin led 10,000 turquoise cavalry to escort nearly 4,000 Xiongnu captives back to Yumen Pass, and the captives were thrown into a civilized school to study, which was not questioned, and it was the policy of the Qin Empire.
The attack and defense of Yumen and Yangguan have entered incandescent level.
If the Huns wanted to take the Yumen Pass in one fell swoop, they had to rely on people to fill it, and there was no other better way. Jiang Song, who guards the Jade Gate, will definitely not stupidly lead his troops and horses to the field for a decisive battle.
Joke!
100,000 Qin troops against 600,000 Hun iron cavalry, to the field decisive battle, no matter how strong the Qin army's combat effectiveness, can not resist the Xiongnu iron cavalry. Once in Qunou, the losses of the Qin army will be very large.
With the danger of Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass, it can effectively prevent the Huns from entering the Central Plains, which is the best way. Only a fool would do a field job.
It's not that the Qin army doesn't want to fight in the field, it's that the time is not right. It is necessary to consume the strength, morale, and fighting spirit of the Huns first. When a certain time comes, the Qin army will kill again, and it will receive good results.
The Huns were very persistent, and continued to attack, leaving more than 100,000 corpses in 20 days, and finding nothing, not even touching the edge of the wall of Yumen Pass.
What about Qin Jun?
There was no damage, nothing to lose except for the consumption of a large number of bullets.
This is the result of the confrontation between hot and cold weapons, and the advantage is extremely obvious. Regardless of range and accuracy, bows and arrows cannot compare with muskets.
As for bullets, supply problems, even less to worry about.
Ye Tong had long expected that there would be frequent fierce battles at Yumen Pass, and that he would have to go west in the future, so Ye Tong deliberately established a new bullet production line in the heavy industrial zone to specialize in the production of ammunition.
As much as the Qin army on the jade gate can consume, the factory can produce. Assembly line operation, modern factory, the output is terrifying.
After more than 20 days of fierce fighting after the closure of the jade gate, Jiang Song hadn't shown his full strength, but the musketeers shot out, and the artillerymen were still idle and watching the show?
There are two types of artillery in the Qin army, one is a 60-mm mortar and the other is a 75-mm field gun. Field artillery is incredibly powerful and difficult to move. Mortars have low power, short firing range, and are easy to carry.
According to Jiang Song's meaning, he took out the field cannon to bombard at the beginning, directly scaring the Huns and letting them roll back to the grassland. However, Fan Zeng suggested not to take it out for the time being, and leave it for the end to be used as a hole card, maybe it can play a better role.
Jiang Song knew that Fan Zeng was powerful and would definitely follow the advice, so the Qin army never used artillery, which made the artillery brothers complain and keep shouting to make a move.
"Mr. Fan, did the Huns get into the water in their heads, or were caught by the door, knowing that attacking was to send them to death, and still attacking as before, what does it mean?"
Fan Zeng smiled and said: "General Jiang, the Huns must still be waiting for the sneak attack iron cavalry across the desert, hoping that after successfully crossing the desert, they will sneak attack Yumen Pass and Yangping Pass from the rear." Therefore, the Huns knew that the attack was heavy and the losses were heavy, and they continued to attack, and they had illusions! ”
Just as Fan Zengzeng guessed, the Huns were indeed waiting, waiting for the iron horsemen to cross the desert, hoping to succeed. Finally, he launched a sneak attack from the rear of Yumen Pass and captured Yumen Pass in one fell swoop.
After storming for more than 20 days and leaving more than 100,000 corpses behind, no matter how stupid the Huns were, they understood that the iron cavalry that crossed the desert had an accident, either died in the desert, or after crossing the desert, they were discovered by the Qin army and annihilated.
In view of this situation, it was no longer much fun to continue the assault, and the Huns standing outside the jade station stopped the attack, and only monitored the movements of the Qin army in the distance when the jade gate was closed.
The battle at Yumen Pass fell into a standoff, and neither side had any intention of sending troops.
-----------------------
Liaodong:
In the headquarters of the Fourth Army of the Qin Empire, the chief officer Mu Guiying convened Chen Ping, Lu Ze, Chen Fei, Yang Zongbao and other generals to hold a combat meeting.
Mu Guiying pointed to the sand table and said: "Some time ago, we sent troops to take over the Xian Dynasty (read upside down) Peninsula in one fell swoop and officially included it in the jurisdiction of the empire. The extermination of hundreds of indigenous tribes and the capture of more than 200,000 indigenous people are considered a small gain. ”
Mu Guiying had 30,000 cavalry, 40,000 musketeers, and 70,000 Qin soldiers. Before Maodun violated the border pass, Mu Guiying sent troops and attacked directly on the Xian Dynasty Peninsula.
The Xian Dynasty Peninsula has no concept of a state, let alone a large tribe, and is basically still in the Stone Age, with nearly 1,000 large tribes and only a few dozen small tribes.
The indigenous people on the Xian Dynasty Peninsula basically live by hunting, do not grow food crops, and do not know any smelting technology, and the weapons used in their hands are generally mainly stone tools, and the most are wooden sticks, wooden spears, and wooden arrows.
When the Qin army arrived, it was basically a one-sided battle, not a level at all.
The soldiers of the Qin army knew that only when they were captured alive were they valuable, and only then could they have higher military merit value. So, everywhere you go, you want to capture the natives.
What about the local natives?
After being captured by the Qin army, he saw that the Qin army was very benevolent and righteous, not only giving food, but also clothing. This is a high-standard treatment that the indigenous people have not enjoyed in eight lifetimes.
It was the benevolence of the Qin army, which gave free food and clothing, that made the captured natives grateful to the Qin army. Knowing that the Qin army was here to liberate them and give them a better life, he was ready to continue to save the natives of the Xian Dynasty Peninsula.
The captive natives immediately volunteered to go to other tribes and persuade them to surrender. In this way, the war on the Xian Peninsula went very smoothly, and with the help of the natives, countless indigenous tribes took the initiative to surrender.
Within a few months, Mu Guiying's army completely wiped out the natives on the Xian Dynasty Peninsula and successfully incorporated the peninsula into the jurisdiction of the empire.
The natives who were captured and surrendered voluntarily could not eat and drink in vain, and the Qin army was not a charity, so it had the ability to support idlers.
The Qin Empire never raised idlers, and some people who were lazy and lazy were forcibly imprisoned and sent to civilized schools to study. Not to mention the indigenous, it must be worked.
Heavy physical work such as road repair, bridge building, and mining must be done by students in civilized schools.
But what?
The natives who were captured by the Xian Chaoshang didn't think it was wrong! It is a matter of course to get food, use, and clothing for work, and no one will object to it.
The natives of the Xian Dynasty Peninsula went to a civilized school to study, and they thought it was very good, some people taught Yan Huang dialect, and also taught life and work skills, and they were indeed teachers of benevolence and righteousness.
The work of building roads, building bridges, and mining is much easier than hunting in the forest, and there is no danger to life, so why not be happy. Very willing, even grateful to Qin Jun.
The Qin army was a division of benevolence and righteousness, and its reputation resounded throughout the Xian Dynasty Peninsula; The Qin army is the savior, who has come to help the natives of the island. If you have a good reputation, it will definitely be beneficial to take over the turf, and you don't have to spend too much effort.
Mu Guiying continued: "Mao Dun led a million iron cavalry to invade Yanmen Pass, the general led his troops and horses to fight fiercely with Mao Dun's million iron cavalry, the Xiongnu iron cavalry in the eastern region is about to be emptied, this is a very good opportunity, our goal is to take over the eastern region and bring it under the jurisdiction of the empire." ”
For this reason, Mu Guiying left 10,000 infantry to garrison Shanggu, Liaodong and other passes, and personally led 60,000 soldiers and horses to kill the area where the Huns gathered.
Mu Guiying's 60,000-strong army went on the expedition, and the biggest difficulty was the supply problem. She doesn't have a golden finger like Ye Tong, and she can only rely on logistics to support the transportation of troops.
However, there is Chen Ping, a top strategist in the army, and many difficulties are solved.
In addition, the Qin army was well prepared, and the chariots of the accompanying army were improved to be able to transport a large number of supplies. What's more, in the past few years, Lu Ze has not been idle, captured some prisoners, and built a large number of roads, which has improved the traffic situation in Liaodong.
On the eastern Great Plains, the Donghu people live in a very large population. After the conquest, he was completely enslaved. Who let the king of Donghu once extort money from Maodun, and what made Maodun most angry was that the Donghu people actually forcibly took away Maodun's Yan clan.
For a strong man, a heroic figure like Mao Dun, he will definitely not forget. After the conquest of the Donghu people, the Donghu people must have been enslaved, there is no doubt about this, who let the Donghu people do too much.
The Donghu people were forcibly siphoned off a large number of young men by Maudun, but they still have a population base of millions of people, and the population has grown equally rapidly over the decades.
