Chapter 485: The First Battle of Persia—18
This strategy, known to later researchers as the Line of Actual Control (LAC) strategy, was particularly useful in dealing with schemes such as fortified walls and clearing wilderness.
So the noble sons and daughters who said that your army rushed to find that they could not move forward under the encirclement and interception of the Han Dynasty army, and the other party did not send the main army, but built a fortress there leisurely.
This reminded them of the tactics they had seen on the battlefield of the Kushan Empire, and if they used the same tricks, then the day when this treasure was completed would mean that any army of the Rest Empire would not be able to cross this defensive line, and the vast land on the other side of that defensive line would become the actual control of the Han Empire.
Such thoughts made these noble sons of the Anxi Empire very anxious, knowing that most of their fiefdoms were concentrated on that side, and if they ended up in the hands of the Han Empire, then they would lose their original lands, unless they made a decision that made them all ashamed, that is, surrender to the opposite Han Dynasty.
Of course, before that, they could have made some other attempts with their own strength, such as rushing over and destroying the fortresses that were being built before the other side sent a sufficient number of troops.
But this method was immediately considered a stupid risky method, because his course of action was based on the premise that there were not enough troops to confront them, but the reason for the formation of such a group was precisely because the main army on the opposite side was not all dispatched, which meant that they were very likely to have hidden value and did not take it out, and if they tried to rush forward, it was very likely that they would be hit hard, and who wants to lose the army in their hands in this situation? That would be their foundation in the chaos that followed, and I'm afraid only a fool would be willing to take that risk.
But there are still a lot of idiots among them.
You interpret that you often led their soldiers to rush over, and at the beginning their battle was relatively smooth, at least the first reaction that those craftsmen could make after seeing the army of the Rest Empire rushing over was to leave there quickly, so as not to lose their lives on the battlefield, which is obviously not a worthwhile thing for the craftsmen, because the battle is not their obligation, and their job is just to humiliate violence, and for Suning, The value of these people is indeed reflected in military engineering, if they are lost on the battlefield like this, it will inevitably be a little worthless to him, as for those soldiers, they are all brave and good at fighting, he doesn't need to worry too much at that time, anyway, when the group of guys launched a charge, those soldiers of the Rest Empire who rushed over immediately showed signs of collapse, which made Suning feel that there was no need to be full of cynicism, so that those soldiers could sacrifice their lives with more alternative professional positions.
That kind of idea is obviously immoral, and the soldiers who led him proved to him, the lord, with their heroic performance, that such a boring idea can be thrown out of the clouds, at least several noble princesses in the charging Anxib Imperial army have fallen into their hands, and this has just become the hole card in Suning's hand.
When our group of guys were tied up into zongzi and thrown outside the battle line to build the fortress, those aristocratic sons who did not participate in the attack, Central Africa all the way to the Han Dynasty, the strength of the army, which made them no longer dare to act rashly, but they slowly found that the Han Dynasty squads that appeared around seemed to have been replenished by the troops, each of those forces had hundreds of people, and they appeared more and more frequently, and even three or five appeared immediately to attack them, and the direction of the attack was different, and even cooperate with them to ambush and block when they retreat, such a small army is very large in number, and it seems that it is specially designed to deal with the internal composition of their army.
Yes, since they are the private armies of various nobles, there is no unified command, and even these young people do not obey anyone at all, if they were replaced by the older generation, they might elect one or two people with prestige to command, but now it seems that they decided to attack and defend the alliance with each other only by virtue of their personal relationships, so that several powerful small groups appeared within them, and even broke out fierce conflicts between each other, which was mainly for the sake of fighting for logistical supply resources, Especially for food, because they left the map in such a hurry after all, that they didn't have enough food with them, their men didn't eat, and they had been delayed near this line for too long, so ......
So they don't need anything, if they can't achieve absolute superiority over the Han army in the next few wars, then they will face an embarrassing dilemma.
But at this time, Suning received a very interesting information from his subordinates, that is, in a looting activity against the enemy's logistics camp, his subordinates successfully rushed into the enemy's well-defended camp, but were surprised to find that there was actually no food in it, so Suning began to make a judgment that their logistics supply was likely to have a problem, which made him feel that the next strategy should be changed.
So that night he sent someone to secretly contact all the detachments operating outside the order, and they immediately returned to the vicinity of the main force to build a defensive line together, so that the Persian nobles who were preparing to search for these detachments and make a final battle were surprised to find that their enemy had completely disappeared around them.
As for the main army of the Korean and Korean Koreans, which had never appeared on the other side, they continued to send workers to build strong fortresses one after another, and put trenches and barbed wire in front of these noble lords of the resting empire, which made these young and ignorant children almost mad, because the situation had become more and more untenable for them.
If they attacked, they would have to face a strong defensive line, if they retreated, they would face the enraged monarch, and if they stayed here, they would face no food to eat, leaving them with little choice.
Finally, after a fierce quarrel, they finally made the final decision, that is, to surrender to the Liang Zhu system of the Han Empire represented by Suning, although the surrender was written in their words, but the overseer occupied by the envoy made Su Lin feel very happy, so the prime minister of the Han Empire agreed to their surrender in principle, and asked the other party to immediately surrender their arms, although this was said in Chinese, but the other party obviously understood, After all, the rules of surrender are not much different between ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and even the Eastern civilization, which has subtle and introverted characteristics, is far less demanding and cruel in this regard than the West and Central Asia.
So on the second day, Suning's subordinates successfully received a large number of weapons, as well as countless soldiers of the Rest Empire who had begun to become hungry, as for those noble sons, there were still some things to eat, but they usually ate much better than this, so that many people just left their own tooth marks on those hard cakes, and then gave up the motivation to continue gnawing, but when Suning's military camp brought them all kinds of delicious food, They didn't hesitate to throw those cakes elsewhere, but Suning was very curious about the production process of those things, and even sent someone to the local people to inquire about it.
However, the language barrier made him not make substantial progress in this process, and those Persian nobles did not make a more excessive request to Suning after they were full of wine and food, they hoped to get the original fief, in other words, they just wanted to change the effective lord, but those fiefs had to be returned to them.
They were severely reprimanded by Suning, because Suning used a large number of armed forces, especially logistics supplies to occupy these areas, and under such a huge cost, it was obviously a loss-making transaction to return the occupied land to the original feudal lords, and this loss-making business was categorically unacceptable for Suning, because now he is more like a businessman, and he is using various ways in the economic field to promote the rapid operation of the war machine, so in this context, Anyone who dares to steal economic resources from him will be severely punished by him, including those who have already sworn to surrender to him.
This made those broken nobles immediately feel the fool of betrayal, so they bravely pulled out their daggers and waved them towards Suning, but they were not vulnerable in front of Suning at all, not to mention this generation of famous generals who once shocked the Chinese battlefield, even the generals around him would not easily connive at this group of guys to provoke in front of their own lords, so this group of noble sons of the Persian Plateau were beaten by the fat of three times and five divided by two, and then tied up into zongzi again, Honestly hung on the city gate building, but this time no one was watching their zongzi form, but Suning just wanted to use this way to teach the soldiers who had just surrendered a lesson, after all, although they were cleared of weapons, but it is still possible to make this kind of movement, if you don't deal with it well, maybe it will bring some unexpected disasters.
So this group of soldiers of the Rest Empire who had just thrown themselves into their repose were immediately transferred to the hands of the logistics force, and a large number of soldiers were sent to escort them, and the destination they were going to was various construction sites in the river region, these guys will be used as excellent labor, this is what kind of computer they will have, it will take time to explain.
And those brothers who were tied up in the Rest Empire now regret making such a decision very much, maybe they can't go back to the emperor's side, at least the capital of the empire will not accept a noble son who has no military strength, if they accept them, maybe they will have to give them some rights, so that they can win the hearts of the people and be worthy of their status, but for a group of guys who have no ability to resist in front of Suning, the power given to them means that they will once again entrap the existing strength of the Rest Empire, After they refused to be loyal to the emperor, the power of the Rest Empire has become very fragile, if they want to get other rights at this time, it is simply beyond their means, in this case, the emperor can not see them again, and they can only sell, waiting for Suning to completely calm their anger.
Fortunately, Suning is a good-natured person, he sent someone to rescue this group of guys from the zongzi soon after, and set up a sumptuous banquet to entertain them, but at this banquet, Suning put forward a bold idea, that is, to buy the land they own, directly under the name of the Yangzhou system, in short, these people's land will be suspected of nationalization, and the nationalized land will be in the form of selling the right to use, or simply recruiting leasing personnel, Let the residents of the nearby Anxi Empire get the right to cultivate here, and Suning will also bring them more advanced agricultural production experience, after all, the Han Dynasty is an advanced agricultural country, neither ancient India nor any other regime can compare with him.
It's just that these words are not for these nobles present, because they have lost the ownership of the land, no matter what they cultivate on it, what kind of market they obtain, it has nothing to do with them, so these words are for those ordinary people, although they are not at this banquet, but similar words will definitely spread to them through the people around them, so Suning's retail system, the comrades here will definitely be widely welcomed.
In other words, these nobles can completely abandon their reverie about the land, because Suning will govern the local area with more humane policies that far outweigh their brutal exploitation. In that case, they will never return to their former homeland. Because they can no longer have the support of the common people.
In this way, the vast land behind the station will eventually fall under Suning's control, because the emperor may not have enough ability to challenge Suning's existing defense line, so he can only operate in the area west of this line, although he still controls the rich two river basins, but in the future war, I am afraid that he will not be able to confront Suning.
