Chapter 0429: An Empire of One's Own
A huge black arrow, clinging to the vast grassland, moved eastward.
The thick snow slowed the pace of the steppe cavalry, depriving them of their usual speed of impact. However, the speed of advancement is still not slow.
This is the wedge-shaped attack formation often used by the Tatars.
This formation, for the infantry of the Han land, has a lethal impact.
The rapid speed of the assault and the earth-shattering momentum almost broke the infantry's heart. In many cases, before the assault could be reached, the infantry's psychology had collapsed, and the defense line was in disarray.
Even for cavalry, this was true. If there is no equal strength and individual combat effectiveness, it will be difficult to block the opponent's attack in front of such a cavalry formation.
Although it was known that the Buqua had firearms, for most of the Tatar cavalry, they still did not think that they would be able to stop their way.
As long as they rush into the opponent's position, their bows and sabers will crush the enemy.
Getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, you can already see the figure of the Bukui people. The next moment, it is necessary to rush forward, shoot arrows at them, and then it is time to slash and slash with the saber.
Suddenly, tongues of fire appeared on the opposite side, and then there was a clanging sound.
The Franc machine of the Fu Corps fired, and the eighty-one Franc machines fired together, and the fire light from the burning of the medicine room lit up the dark grassland.
The overwhelming flowering bombs fell into the herd of horses and exploded, and immediately the roars of horses and the screams of people sounded.
The formation of the Tatars was chaotic, but the speed did not slow down and still stubbornly advanced forward.
Another salvo was fired, and more men and horses fell.
Fallen horses and injured horses running around further confused the formation, but it quickly returned to normal.
It was about to come within range of the bow and arrow, and at that moment, there was another burst of fire from the Bukui people. Then there was a thumping thump, one after another.
The horsemen on the horses landed one after another, and many of them were still in the stirrups, dragged around by their usually loyal companions.
Hugel's heart became tighter and tighter.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer warriors around him, and before he could shoot his arrows, almost half of the horses disappeared from the ranks.
He hesitated.
Next, you can get into the range of the bow and arrows yourself. But the other side still has a long gun to intercept. After the long gun, you can shoot arrows yourself, and the opponent can also shoot arrows.
Maybe before you start shooting arrows, you'll be dead.
This is pure death!
"Stop advancing, retreat! Fall back! Hughar finally made a decision.
They turned their horses' heads and ran back. The sound of banging was still ringing in the back, and people kept falling off their horses, and there were even fewer people around.
Hugel understood that the thumping sound was a chain of guns. It is possible to beat the cavalry into a pile of dead corpses.
When attacking, the road has been opened, and the speed of retreat is much faster.
"Centurion, check how many more there are."
The numbers came out quickly, and only more than six hundred people returned. This trip alone, in Sancheng, went to the first floor.
I've never seen such a battle before, and I can't fight it.
"The Tatars have returned, long live, long live my emperor, long live!"
On the position of the government corps, bursts of cheers were remembered.
After the cheers, some people complained.
"Why did these Tatar cowards go back as soon as they were halfway there? I haven't fired a single shot. ”
"Yes, these cowards are too unsophisticated, and they are deliberately cheating us. He didn't even give us a chance to release the gun, and he had to bring back the ammunition when he went back, which was weird. ”
"Second Brother Lian, let's retreat two hundred steps."
Jia Min's words made Jia Lian stunned.
It's obviously a victory, so why do you have to retreat?
"Sir Min, you mean that we retreat two hundred steps?"
"Yes, retreat two hundred paces, lay mines, take out all the mines, turn this place into a minefield. The next time they attack again, let him taste the mines. People come from afar, and they have to call someone to eat a set meal. ”
"Understood, Sir Min, retreat two hundred steps, Bray."
Jia Lian went to arrange the task, and Chang'an came over.
"Chief Min, why didn't you take advantage of the victory just now to pursue you?"
"Chase? What does Fena do with strength? We waited for them to come and beat us. ”
"Why not do it quickly?"
"I'm outnumbered, just keep them out here. Now it's Simari who is in a hurry, and we are not in a hurry. ”
"We still have a lot of ammunition on our cars, if we take the initiative to attack, we can hit them, but they can't hit us, why not use the Fran machine and the chain of guns to attack and kill them all."
When Chang'an said this, Jia Min couldn't help but admire her a little.
This little girl is very smart and not very easy to fool. In a short period of time, the situation was understood.
"Now Simmari still has illusions that there is still a chance to beat us. At least he still has a chance to escape. So, we can't push him too hard. Otherwise, he will have to flee now, and it will be difficult for us to pursue. ”
This battle to regain South Vendura has different meanings for different people.
For the imperial court, it was a move to restore the dignity of the Heavenly Empire.
For Chang'an, it is an honor to redeem its honor and return to the imperial capital as a victor.
For Wang Ziteng, it was his own political achievement as the commander of the affairs of Undura.
For Bukwe, it was an operation to remove the Tatar threat and create a stable environment and buffer zone.
For Feng Ziying, General He and others, it was a military achievement.
For the four major tribes such as the Iron Buddha in South Wendura, it was an opportunity to break free from slavery.
Regardless of the intentions of the parties, there is one thing, they are all on the same page. It is to completely exterminate these Sidhwa. It's best not to keep one of them, which is the most ideal result.
However, this is not the result that Jia Min wants.
It's not because he is soft-hearted and doesn't want to kill. It's because this war is just one step in his big game of chess.
So far, the recapture of South Windola is within reach.
With the 7,500 men of the Fu Corps and the Beijing Battalion, it is only a matter of time before Northern Wendura is pacified in the future.
However, he did not want to solve the North Vendura problem so early.
His gaze was farther north of North Ventura, in a place called the North Sea.
This Beihai is the Beihai where Su Wu shepherded sheep in the Han Dynasty. In his previous life, it was called the Lake Figar region, which was the largest freshwater lake in the world.
Jia Min's current enemies are no longer the major tribes of the Northern Vandus steppe, but the Cossack cavalry of the Rus Empire.
In his eyes. The Wattles of the Northern Windula Meadows, the Wali Valley people, and the Sidwa people in front of him are already his future subordinates.
Therefore, in this battle to regain South Windura, he deliberately emphasized that he should take as many prisoners as possible.
These captives will all be his subordinates in the future. He has the importance of subjugating them so that he may use them for his own use, and where will he kill them quickly?
With proper training and the right weapons, these men will become the most formidable samurai. They're all killed, where will he go to find such a good warrior?
Jia Min's real goal is to build his own private army. In the near future, step out of the borders of the Great German Empire, conquer the North Sea region, and establish your own empire.
This is the real reason why he happily agreed to Wang Ziteng this time and came to Bukui to help.
is also the reason why he resolutely refused Wang Ziteng to ask him for merit and ask the emperor to reinstate him.
You are an old emperor, and you have an official position of fame and guerrilla warfare, and you think it's quite interesting. Now, I, Jia Min, don't play with you anymore.
You want to do it for me, but I won't do it.
Build an empire by yourself, be the king by yourself, and Lao Tzu will be an official for others. Who still cares about you, a broken official.
As for the pig teammates in Jiafu and the rescue of Baoyu this time, it was just his own responsibility.
I am a person who wants to build an empire, and if I engage in house fights with these people all day long, I am really lowering my status and lowering my level, and I am suspected of being willing to degenerate.
The reason why he wants to build his own empire is also related to these women who will arrange him in the future.
Baochai is the wife of her matchmaker, but because of a sentence from the emperor Lao'er, he said that if he is not allowed to get married, he cannot get married. I can only watch and be anxious.
Miaoyu is also from an official eunuch, everyone is beautiful, and she will be a concubine in the future, and she has really been wronged.
Ping'er, Shen Bingyi, and Qingwen are all very good women, but because of secular etiquette, they can only be concubines. This is also unfair to them.
Qin Keqing has her own child, such a peerless beauty, and because of secular etiquette, she can't be with her.
Within the scope of the Dade Empire's rituals, it was difficult to achieve these goals on its own.
The only way to achieve this goal is under a new system of rituals.
This requires making your own set of rules.
The reason why Jia Min set his sights on Beihai is because there is a Takr tribe there.
It was the custom of the Takr tribe that a man could marry as many wives as he could, and that each wife had an equal status. There are no wives and concubines.
Jia Min's idea is based on this tradition of the Takr tribe and establishes cultural, moral, and even legal legitimacy.
When the time comes, you can marry whoever you want.
It's like Lamei can find multiple men at will, but no one laughs at them, it's just a cultural difference.
North of the Northern Vendura steppe was the place where the Cossack cavalry frequented. The Cossack cavalry was also an obstacle for his future conquest of the North Sea region.
At present, the reason why Jia Min is not in a hurry to solve the problem of North Vendura is not only that the time is not yet ripe, but also because he needs the three major tribes of North Wendura as a barrier to block the Cossacks.
At the moment, it seems to be an enemy, but before long, it will become an ally.
The so-called no fight, no deal, only after the fight, convinced, can you make friends.
used to be like this with Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang, the old lady, and Niu Jizong and others. This is the case with Zhao Dahai, Yang Lin and others, and with the four major tribes of South Wendula.
The same is true now with Simari, and in the future with the Waters and Vale.
This is the real purpose of Jia Min.
