Chapter 105: Strategy and Tactics

The Qiang people in the city participated in the battle faster than Yun Lang expected, and they were much more resolute than Yun Lang expected.

As the sun sets, the early spring dusk is poignant, and if it weren't for the corpses everywhere, the rising flames of war, and the stench of all kinds of war materials, it would have been a good time for the farmer to return with his oxen and hoes.

The Qiang people outside the city suffered heavy casualties, and the Qiang people in the city were also seriously injured.

At the most critical time, one hundred and ten Qiang people rushed to the head of the city, but they were pushed by the Han army and the Qiang people defending the city with huge shields and planted from the head of the city.

Yun Lang was very skillful when he put the Qiang people on the city, there were only three at first, and then it expanded to more than a dozen, and in the end, two hundred were put up at one time, and now, the remaining Qiang people are less than a hundred.

The defenders of the city lying in pools of blood are now difficult to distinguish who is who, bloodstains, sweat stains, and soot obscured everyone's true face.

The strong soldiers clung to the dry cakes, and the tired Qiang people who defended the city also clung to the dry cakes, and they drank the water from a kettle and ate the bread from a basket, and they didn't seem to see much difference.

Yun Lang saw it very clearly......

The Shooting Battalion not far away has been keeping an eye on the Qiang people who are not wearing armor, as long as they have any abnormal movements, without Yun Lang's order, the crossbow arrows will be summoned to them first.

Yesterday, today, and for the next three and a half million days, nationalism is still the food of the order, and the people who do not identify with themselves can only be slaves of other races.

In the same way, the honor of a nation-state has no trade-offs, it will be like the sun, you must be irradiated.

No bargain can be obtained in vain, and if you have not shed your blood for this nation, you will not be eligible to enjoy the supreme glory that is about to come.

Many times, Huo Quzhi said good words, although the execution is more bastard, he will generally kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000.

But once there is no other choice, war is not an option.

There were still countless wounded soldiers on the battlefield who were left on the battlefield by the Huns to survive, and perhaps after the darkness of night, death would take them away one by one.

Xie Gu was one of the few good men among the Qiang people, and today, he was the first to climb the city, and before he had time to cheer, he was pushed off the city wall by a huge shield.

He broke both legs and one of his arms, as a result of the fall.

When the city fell from the top of the city, his companions smashed him one by one, and he almost felt like he was going to die, but when he came to his senses, he was glad to find that he was not dead, and that the dead men lying on his body accepted the crossbow arrows and pebbles of the Han army in his place.

Xie Gu looked left and right, but he did not see the brave Aguba, who he had not seen since he went to the battlefield.

All he saw was a lot of familiar faces......

These people he and Aguba had found from the wasteland and persuaded them to come here, and now, all dead.

The Han people are hungry wolves in the wasteland, they are 10,000 times more brutal than the Huns, the Huns just want the cattle and sheep of the Qiang people, grain, women, but the Han people want everything, they robbed the cattle and sheep of the Qiang people, and the food children are not satisfied, they also want the Qiang people themselves, and they want all the Qiang people to become their slaves and work for them to death.

This kind of thing has happened many times in the wasteland, and it is because of the corpses of the Qiang people who were killed, the tents and houses that were burned, that Xie Gu himself joined the army of the Huns without hesitation and fought desperately with the Han people.

Korai's body lay on top of his head, at the top of the tall pile of corpses, probably from his imminent death, and blood was dripping down his fingertips on Shekku's mouth.

Thirsty, Xie Gu involuntarily swallowed the blood......

Before his thirst could be quenched, the blood froze on Kelai's fingertips, and he should have died.

Shegu had never grieved so much as he did now, and he knew that he was about to die, because the Han army had opened the city gates, and a group of soldiers had walked out of the city gates, examining the corpses......

"There's one here who isn't dead!" The face of a young Han soldier appeared on top of Shegu's head.

Shegu struggled violently, and he tried to resist by grabbing something with his right hand, which could still move, but his hand only grabbed a fur hat belonging to the Qiang people.

The young Han Jun, who should be really young, and still have the innocence of a young man in his eyes, saw Xie Gu struggling, he was frightened, until Xie Gu waved his fur hat and made him laugh, then he let go of the spear in his hand, grabbed his shoulder, and dragged him out of the pile of corpses.

"This fool isn't dead." The young Han army continued to shout.

Soon two Qiang people drove the ox cart to Xie Gu, threw him into the ox cart like a sack, and then continued to wander the battlefield.

"If we continue to fight like this, there may be no more men for the Qiang people."

Yun Lang was worried.

Huo Quzhi bit the dry cake and said, "There will always be something to look for." ”

"There won't be many, this ghost place is full of wars, it's not suitable for men to grow at all, and if you don't grow up, you will die on the battlefield, and you don't know what you're fighting for, and who you're fighting for."

"What are you going to do?" Huo Qubing saw that the soldiers sent out by Yunlang were treating those injured Qiang people, so he asked puzzledly.

Yun Lang clicked his mouth and said, "Naturally, I want to reconcile!" ”

"Reconcile with whom?"

Huo Quzhi stopped the dry biscuit that was about to be sent to his mouth and asked.

"The Qiang people in the city have become mortal enemies with the Qiang people outside the city, so I naturally want them to reconcile."

"Why?"

"Because the location of the surrendered city is too important, we need the population, and without the population, wouldn't it become an empty word to talk about such a thing as the surrendered city supplying the food and grass of the border army?"

Huo Quai's detective looked down the city, and saw that the corpses of the Qiang people were piled up under the city, and stretched from the city to a hundred zhang away, so he shook his head and said: "There is no hope, it is better to kill it cleanly." ”

Yun Lang smiled: "It's really not worth it, but it's a game, and it's also an attempt, it's not much use if it succeeds, and there are no serious consequences if it fails."

You have no idea how difficult it is to come across such a good subject, and if successful, it will not only bring us food, but also the most important experience.

I have no doubt that the Han defeated the Huns, and after defeating the Huns, we will have to deal with many people who have not met and dealt with before.

At this time, what kind of attitude should we use to face them?

Obviously, it's easy to make mistakes when you think about it when it's over, so it's better to prepare early.

This will give me a ready-made example that I can learn from when interacting with people of different races. ”

Huo Quzhi took a bite of the dry cake and shook his head helplessly and stopped talking, he felt that Yun Lang had no chance of success.

Just now, they were rolling the heads of the Qiang people to kill, and before the blood was dry, they had to tell the Qiang people about making friends, how stupid do the Qiang people need to be to be fooled?

Yun Lang knew what Huo Quzhi was thinking in his heart, and he didn't explain more, he felt that he would do it first and then talk about it.

When the time comes, letting Huo go to the disease to see the effect is the best way to persuade him.

The Qiang people could not be divided in this way, and once they really became two opposing sides, it was impossible for the Han people to want a safe surrendered city.

The biggest effect of the surrendered city is Tuntian.

In fact, the military role is secondary, and it is not the endless war that drags down the finances of the Han Dynasty, but the supply of money and food needed for the war.

The saddest thing is that from Chang'an, Guanzhong will transport grain and materials to the grassland, the loss is too amazing, a load of grain may only be worth 30 copper coins in Guanzhong, yes, a load of grain is transported to the grassland, after the border pass, its value becomes a hundred copper coins, if you also need to transport the materials with the army to the depths of the grassland, its value will rise.

According to Yun Lang's personal calculations, if you transport an additional 200 miles, the cost will be doubled, and it will be doubled on the basis of 100 copper coins.

The surrendered city is in the depths of the grassland, whether it is attacking the Xiongnu royal court in the east, or attacking the Hun evil king in the west, it is not very far.

Therefore, the production of one more load of grain in the surrendered city is equivalent to the production of eight more loads of grain in Guanzhong, and the benefits in this middle are by no means as easy as simple numerical conversion.

It can really be said that it affects the whole body.

Yun Lang even believed that the reason why Liu Che sent such a demon king as He Chou to the surrender city was not as simple as spying on a few of their young people.

And He Chou is definitely not the kind person Yun Lang has seen, who can make Cao Xiang pee his pants, if it is so simple, it is too underestimated He Chou.

If the emperor could come to the northwest frontier, he would not let go of the people who had been surrendered, because he could not come, so he sent the most trustworthy person to watch for him.

For the surrendered city, the production of food was more important than the defeat of the enemy.

Of the two, food belongs to the strategic level, and killing the enemy is only a tactical thing, which is more important, Yun Lang can see it very clearly.
