Chapter 482: The First Battle of Persia—15
I really don't believe that these guys can have any amazing performances, but at the beginning of the war, he did achieve a huge strategic advantage.
On the battlefield of the northern front, a number of generals, including Wang Yanzhang, launched a surprise attack led by Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi's group, and the rich Khorasan region fell under the control of the Liangzhou system in an instant, and on the battlefield of the middle line, the elephant attack group personally commanded by Suning also rushed into the inland areas of the Persian Plateau with absolute strength, although the time for each kilometer of advance is getting longer and longer, but Suning does not feel that the resistance he has suffered can change the final outcome of this war.
On the battlefield of the Southern Front, the Gede Lomeia region was already in his hands, and the Red Bull formed by Bai Qi and Chen Qingzhi's group quickly put the surrounding defenders into a bitter battle.
Although it was not an individual's body, it was so difficult to pass that their advance had to slow down to a sufficiently stable level, otherwise their defensive lines and supply lines would be attacked by small enemy troops, and worst of all, Suning and the others were surprised to find that after each of their military victories, the food in the occupied area seemed to have been moved long ago, which made the supplies they were able to take from the enemy less and less.
What is even more depressing is that the grain seized from the Khorasan region has been discovered, and there are signs of people soaking in venom, although the poison is also the extract essence of the plant, and it has not been too strict and systematically refined, so that the medicinal effect is not as terrible as imagined, but it still brings unexpected trouble to the various armies of the Yangzhou system.
Many of them, including Wei Qing's prime ministers, had to go to the field hospital in the rear to rest because of eating this kind of food, and many of them also suffered undue casualties because of the ineffectiveness of the antidote, which made Suning feel very disgusted with the methods of the Persians.
Fortunately, Huo Qubing seems to have learned the lessons of his previous life, even the water on the Persian plateau, he does not allow his subordinates to use it easily, but requires them to be sure to use the boiling water used in their respective kitchens, even in the process of marching, such boiling water is also a continuous supply, although this seriously slows down their progress, but Huo Qubing does not think that his strategy and tactics are suitable to play a role in the plateau area, so, in line with the subjective motive of being able to take as little responsibility as possible, They were moving even slower than the venom-cleansed Wei Qing Division.
Of course, Wei Qing knew what his nephew thought, but he didn't mean to preach at all, the Persian Plateau is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw, and even Suning's various recommendations in the middle road are also cautious and cooperate with Suning to carry out work in the middle of the road, and even a long time ago proposed that a sufficient number of fortresses should be built on the advancing route, so that the army that transports food to them can have enough hard shelter to prevent Xiao Jia's enemy troops who are familiar with the terrain from flowing behind them and looting their grain. In that case, it will provide a huge guarantee for the advance of the army.
But this strategy is also too conservative, at least for Suning, the construction of the fortress will be delayed for too long, and the building materials in the construction bag cannot be thrown away directly from the Persian plateau, because their glass repair technology requires a large number of pre-processed raw materials, and the Persian plateau can only provide huge stones.
As a result, the pressure on logistics becomes even greater, because they need to afford to transport building materials, which is obviously more frustrating than if they were only responsible for transporting food.
Unfortunately for all, on the battlefields of the Persian plateau, they had little supply from the trains, which were built to extend only to the border areas, and behind the three-tiered defensive line were a small station that served as a terminal for transporting food to the local garrison.
But on this high Persian plateau, the distance between these terminals will be significantly farther away, in fact, it is also to prevent the Persians from destroying those trains and tracks, so this sales strategy is implemented, but now it seems that it will obviously have a huge impact on their own attack.
This is why Suning prescribed the fortress tactic, although he knew that if the time was enough, such a tactic could actually bring him great benefits, and this tactic of advancing layer by layer, which could make the tenacious Xixia Kingdom at that time almost perish, fully proved the power of this tactic, and this tactic adopted for the nomadic tribes was also achieved in the Hexi Corridor and later in the Western Regions, very good results, and now countless bags are still boiling along the track in the Spanish-speaking region. Not only as a stop along the way, but also to provide a guarantee for local security.
But the terrain of the Persian Plateau is too complicated, if you want to build a track here, you will have to waste more work inside, and the strategy they will use in this attack is to use the lion to fight the rabbit, cleanly and completely defeat the fragile Resting Empire, although it does not require the occupation of every inch of land here, but it must provide an excuse for all the rebel forces on the Persian Plateau to rebel, if they can divide one side, It is very likely that it will also become a buffer zone between the Han Dynasty and the Western Great Qin Empire, but in this process, the Great Han Dynasty can obtain less territory, population and resources than the Western Great Qin Empire in the direction of the two river basins, and it is also more barren, although the Persian plateau has bred a fairly prosperous civilization, and even nearby have been ruled by this empire, but since losing to Greece, Greek civilization has begun their conquest in this extensive areaThis historical period, known as the Hellenistic period, even extended their rule to Central Asia and Northwest India, which is why there were some Greeks in Northwest India, and this is almost a thing that will be forgotten by the learners of Eastern civilization in history, because in history textbooks, Greek civilization brought us all kinds of political reforms, and fought to the death within a small territory, but the fact is, The Greeks created more than just small city-states fighting each other, because the power they had accumulated in the melee of these city-states allowed them to surpass other civilizations in terms of political system, military equipment, and strategy and tactics.
This phenomenon is like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, in order to dominate the world, countries had to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in the political, military and other academic fields, so that they finally drummed up a prosperous situation called a hundred schools of thought, as for the military systems and related equipment of various countries, there were also a large number of glasses, and even many famous generals and military strategists, and those small city-states in Greece are closer to each other, of course, it is easier to produce large-scale cultural exchanges and conflicts. All sorts of novelties were being tested by the rulers, and those with a wealth of ideas and knowledge were choosing a way forward for Greek civilization, so they amassed a force in the process, so that they could resist hundreds of thousands of powerful Persian enemies with a small projectile.
As a result, the slave countries suffered the famous hot spring pass fiasco in the face of the so-called democratic civilization. With the gradual weakening of the Persian Empire, the various tribes that were originally attached to the Persian Empire gradually began to fall apart, although the Persian Empire had a traffic design similar to Qin Shi Huang's late arrival, which made it very easy for the central court to control various places, but unfortunately, the emperor at that time obviously did not have Qin Shi Huang's capable milk and swordsmen, at least the manpower and material resources he could mobilize were much worse than Qin Shi Huang, so his efforts did not save the empire from decline in the end, Even Qin Shi Huang was actually unable to do this, let alone a country that was more than 200 years earlier than the Qin Empire, how could he have a richer row of noodles than Qin Shi Huang.
After this scene, the various civilizations of Greece finally saw the opportunity for their rise, so they first started various colonies along the Mediterranean coast, which had already had their first results a long time ago, and then they developed along these colonies overland, and spread their civilization and institutions in more distant directions, and even some armies completed the conquest of many places during this time, including the Persian plateau, which had been against them.
Today's most outstanding performance is, of course, Alexander the Great, who did not waste his troops and various resources on hegemony within the Greek city-states, the so-called golden horn and silver edge grass belly, the position of this emperor is located in the north of Greece, whether it is Athens or Sparta, he did not take him to heart, and he did not take these two to heart, knowing that Sparta went to a landslide, he slowly unified the city-state Greece, and handed over related civilizations, bringing more distant places, as for those tribes in the East, Soon under his attack, he unified and strategized, although India was lucky to escape from his attack due to the climate, China due to the terrain barrier, but at that time his military ability far exceeded India, and it is very likely that he will once again bring the white civilization to ancient China.
Although the Qin Empire at that time had already mastered 40% of China's homeland, not everyone could be like the rich people, who came to the white crowd for a few hundred yuan, and regarded them as their own funeral objects.
So in a way, we should still be glad that the emperor only lived for ten years, and his empire fell apart immediately after his death, so that most of the Greek soldiers fell into the hands of different warlords, they were scattered all over the place, because of the history of the population, they had to slowly integrate into the local population like the later Mongols, but this was only the elite, because their culture was more advanced, so they did not believe in the local culture like the MongolsAt least after the rise of the Arab world, many of the various academic institutions in Baghdad studied the civilizations left by the Greeks, which is also one of the important reasons why the Arab world was able to rise in the world after the Tang Dynasty, and even the later Europeans, when exploring Greek culture, did not look for it from their Greek homeland, but after the Crusades, They were surprised to find that those former enemies had mastered some of the profundity of the ancient civilization at their doorstep, which made them so surprised that they had to learn from them, so the reintroduction of various Greek civilizations finally brought them the Renaissance movement that laid the foundation of modern history, and all this, although it is said to be a historical coincidence, but it seems that there is also a heavenly arrangement in the dark, English is the reason for geographical barriers, and Chinese civilization is almost not involved in any step in this process, Except for the captured Du Huan and others, who most likely passed on the art of papermaking to the Arab world, everything else has nothing to do with our group of descendants of Yan and Huang.
Although we have been emphasizing the exchange of history between China and foreign countries, which has not been cut off since ancient times, the frequency density and effective value of exchanges are very worthy of our doubts, especially because the time is too far away, there are many things that we cannot verify, and most unfortunately, we are too far away in terms of distance, so that we cannot bring enough effective information.
I really don't believe that these guys can have any amazing performances, but at the beginning of the war, he did achieve a huge strategic advantage.
On the battlefield of the northern front, a number of generals, including Wang Yanzhang, launched a surprise attack led by Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi's group, and the rich Khorasan region fell under the control of the Liangzhou system in an instant, and on the battlefield of the middle line, the elephant attack group personally commanded by Suning also rushed into the inland areas of the Persian Plateau with absolute strength, although the time for each kilometer of advance is getting longer and longer, but Suning does not feel that the resistance he has suffered can change the final outcome of this war.
And on the battlefield on the Southern Front, the Gede Lomeia region has long been in his hands.
