The people of the gods have not experienced a greater battle than this, nor have they experienced more death.

—Zoroastrian Magar (priest) Farawha

In the Battle of the Kyrgyz Mountains in June 1796, the Qin army annihilated 255,000 Pars troops (Xu Daixuan included the people), of which 35,000 were killed and 220,000 were captured.

In addition, some 120,000 people have fled.

Of the 400,000 Pars who set out from Samarkand (in the middle of the river), only 30,000 eventually returned in formation under the leadership of Darch and Sisval, and some of them, about 30,000 or so, returned one after another.

The vast majority of the prisoners were civilians, and there were also many infantry who had no time to escape, and these young, healthy, and docile captives became the greatest trophies of the Qin army in this battle.

Because the armed civilian officials of the Qin army who were responsible for screening the captives (no way, the core population of the Qin army was pitiful, so everyone, including the officials, had weapons and the obligation to go into battle) found that most of these people were also slaves when they were in Pars, and there was no way to rise at all.

Compared to the slaves of the Empire, the slave life of the Pars was more difficult and insecure, and it was possible that their standard of living would be somewhat higher after falling into the hands of the Han Chinese.

At least the Han slaves could eat half a full day, and if they were lucky enough to make meritorious deeds, they also had the possibility of redeeming themselves.

"Two hundred thousand obedient laborers!" The armed civilian officials cheered: "We can reclaim the land and build water conservancy to our heart's content!" ”

"No wonder the fleeing Pars didn't take them with them." King Qin said with emotion: "I'm afraid they don't care about these slave laborers at all, right? ”

However, for Great Qin, these captives were very useful, whether it was farming or mining, they could allow more Han soldiers and Waifan soldiers to get rid of heavy production and become fully trained soldiers.

Of course, when the local assistance will not come for the time being, some of them can also directly supplement the strength gap of the Qin army's camp.

For example, the Silver Mask Himesis, the empty emperor, has begun to try to use his captives to form his own team.

Prior to this, the troops loyal to Himesis consisted only of eight hundred cavalry privateers led by the commander of ten thousand cavalry, Caradra.

At the end of the battle, Himesis persuaded the captured former Pars cavalry to Shamran, and the two 10,000 cavalry commanders selected some of the captured Pars soldiers who were willing to join him, and each formed a force of 3,000 men (1,000 cavalry each, 2,000 infantry).

Thus, His Majesty Emperor (self-proclaimed) Himeses I of Pars had a "great army" of six thousand men.

The equipment of this force was provided by the Qin army, which captured almost 150,000 weapons in the Battle of the Kyrgyz Mountains, and it was not too easy to arm 6,000 men.

It's just that Xu Daixuan is unwilling to provide too much iron armor for Himelsis, because the foreign soldiers and Tiele soldiers under his command are greedy for these things, and the newly established Pars New Army can only be divided into 600 sets of iron armor, and the rest of the armor has to be replaced by leather armor and the like.

A large number of swords were piled up in the square of Broken Leaf City, and the Waifan soldiers and Tiele soldiers could come and choose their favorite weapons according to their merits, and if the Han soldiers were interested, they could also come and choose a few to take away in their own name - but they could not choose long weapons, so as not to affect the service.

Another good trophy was the horses and other cattle of the Pars, Pars was a place where good horses were produced, and the military horse farms of the empire liked to use Pars horses mixed with Hexi horses and Mughal horses to obtain a large number of horses of moderate performance to supply the army and the transportation needs of various places.

Well, now that after this battle, the Qin army itself captured almost 40,000 horses! There are also 30,000 camels, cattle, mules and other draft animals placed in the auxiliary camp at the southern foot of the Kyrgyz Mountains during the war.

These 70,000 draft animals, combined with as many as 200,000 laborers, could bring the mobility of the Qin army and the domestic production of the Qin State to a new level.

Apart from the above, the rest of the booty was somewhat unmentionable, and the Pars army did not have much food and grass, and after a slight increase in the food supply treatment of the slave captives, the capture would even go into a state of loss after three months.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Daixuan had just received 1.5 million stone of food aid from China, he would probably have to kill a group of prisoners first to relieve the supply pressure.

The seizure of money was not too much - the Pars auxiliaries and most of the infantry were slaves and had little property of their own.

The officers of their cavalry and infantry were mainly yeoman farmers, but it was unrealistic to seize too much cash, and the few bits and pieces of coins and gold and silver were only enough to satisfy the soldiers below (Xu Daixuan allowed the Qin soldiers to keep some of the spoils), and for the huge Qin state, the currency directly captured on the captives had no effect.

However, Xu Daixuan himself made a small fortune - no one dared to touch the big tent of Vologasis III, so it became Xu Daixuan's personal trophy, and the guards found about 50,000 silver parsdirhams (about 13,000 imperial taels), as well as a large number of jewels, silks, gold statues of the Zoroastrian gods Mithras and slaves, and more than 50 eunuchs and maids who served Volodyasis III.

Worried that the latter would have one or two loyal ministers, Xu Daixuan rewarded the eunuchs and maids to the Waibo nobles who had made meritorious contributions in this battle.

Anyway, there is no shortage of women around him now - there are princesses from various countries in the Western Regions in King Qin's harem, and there are also other noble daughters from other foreign countries, Xu Daixuan can enjoy different tricks for many months even if he changes it every day, and he is too lazy to keep the women used by Vologasis III.

It took ten days to clean up the battlefield, and the Qin army began to advance with the help of victory.

By this time, the remaining forces of Pars had retreated to Ctesiphon, so the Qin attack met with little resistance.

In early August, the Qin army entered Hezhong Province (Samarkand) without blood, and took the most fertile land in Central Asia under their control.

Immediately, Xu Daixuan declared Hezhong Mansion the new capital of Great Qin, and Broken Leaf left Xu Shizhen to establish a feudal state.

Later, the Qin king sent Zuo Helin, Marquis of Anxi, and his ally Himesis I to send troops to the west along the Amu Darya River (known as Weishui in Han), and the troops led by the two arrived at Yuliqian (Yulong Chijie) in mid-September, where the Khorezmians, who had been subservient to Pars, turned to the new emperor of Pars, Himesis I.

The Khorezm people promised to attack the King of Qin with 30,000 gold coins a year, and Zuo Helin, Marquis of Anxi, was appointed as a local guardian and established his own feudal state in Yuli Qian.

Five days later, a detachment of Waibo Mongwu cavalry arrived on the southern shore of the Khorezm Sea (Aral Sea).

The other army sent by the King of Qin, by the Marquis of Dingxi Qi Nian, and the Marquis of Pingxi Zhi Keshi attacked south together, and occupied Mulu City at the end of September, where Zhi Keshi established a feudal state.
