For a long time, the huge casualties after the battle on the battlefield have been the primary problem that plagued Ma Teng

After a few wars, there were not many people who could come back alive and sound, and in the era of gunpowder, precious human lives became cheaper, and the tragic situation of white-haired people sending black-haired people was everywhere

In every battle, when the hearse carrying the corpse returned to his hometown, Ma Teng's heart was about to break when he saw the mournful crying of the families of the fallen soldiers

These sons and daughters who went back and forth with him were all young men and women whom he personally picked up from his father and fellow villagers, and many of them were even the pillars of the family, the only strong laborers, and before leaving, he promised his parents, wife and children that he would take their men to do earth-shattering things to make a lot of money, and send them back in five years, or ten years

Now, 20 years have passed, and there are only a handful of men left who followed him to the east and west

So from that day on, he began to feel disgusted with death...... At least that's what he himself thinks

After worshipping Luan Yimen, when gunpowder became a necessity for the siege of the city, and was distributed into the army, Ma Teng quickly found that the number of casualties among his soldiers and horses had been greatly reduced

Just like the battle against Tianshui in front of us, it is necessary to follow the tactics of climbing the city with a conventional ladder and smashing the city against the two sides without killing tens of thousands of horses and horses, and there is no winner But with gunpowder, everything has become much simpler The majestic city wall is like a paper beard in front of this powerful human weapon Several rounds of projectiles came down Half of the Tianshui city wall collapsed

Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie took advantage of the situation to lead the army into the city and attacked the city of Nuoda without much effort

In this battle, the whole army lost more than 800 people in total, and such a small casualty rate was unthinkable in the past, and the huge gap made him uncomfortable for a while, and he once thought that the statistics were wrong

It took a few checks to confirm that this was true

"More than 800 people, more than 12,000 enemies killed" Ma Teng, click his mouth, he should be happy that the battle was smooth, but he always felt strange in his heart He always felt that this battle was fought smoothly It was so smooth that it was over before he felt the atmosphere of the battlefield To give an image example, the army under his command was like an elephant Han Sui's soldiers and horses in Tianshui City were like ants The two sides were not on the same order of magnitude at all If it was a duel, the elephant would drown the ants if he spat and foamed casually There is no challenge

The Warriors have always been eager to compete with opponents of the same level, and Ma Teng always feels that he is bullying the weak, which is not fun at all

However, he forgot that just a few days ago, he and Han Sui were still standing on the same starting line, and it was because Luan Yi supported him with a large amount of armor and ammunition that he was taller overnight

……

The battle of Tianshui ended with Ma Teng's complete victory The only regret is that Han Sui fled quickly on the night when he heard that Wang Fang's night attack failed, so he fled west with 20,000 horses and went to Ma Teng's old nest Wuwei

With the experience of the battle of Tianshui, Ma Teng knew that no matter how many people Han Sui defended, no matter how huge the city was, it would be impossible to stop the steel torrent of his army, in order to recapture the entire Liangzhou as soon as possible, he decided to divide his troops Ma Chao led an army of 10,000 to seize Anding, Ma Xiu and Zhuge Liang led 10,000 troops to attack Zhangye, and he and Pang commanded the Chinese army to kill Wuwei

The three-way army marched hand in hand, the momentum was like a bamboo, and the fighting Han Sui had no parry to deal with, and he only cared about fleeing with his head in a fart, and then Nan'an, Anding and other counties fell into the hands of Ma Teng one after another

Xiliang victory

I have to admit that Han Sui's ability is only general, but the technique of escaping is first-class Ma Chao led three thousand cavalry to follow and chase after him, chasing for hundreds of miles day and night, and he was stunned that he could not intercept him, and watched him run into the territory of the Qiang people

Ma Chao did not hesitate to rush into the hinterland of the Qiang people and continue to track, galloping for more than ten miles, seeing that he was about to catch up with Han Sui, but at this moment, a group of Qiang cavalry rushed out from the mountain shade, counting more than tens of thousands of people

In the sight, this team of Qiang soldiers did not seem to have the intention of killing, rushed to Ma Chao and his party a hundred steps away, and began to line up, isolating Ma Chao and Han Sui, and then the first Qiang general shouted in Qiang language, "Ma Mengqi, why did Ru Shuai's army invade the boundary of our department?"

Ma Chao lives freely in Xiliang and can understand the Qiang dialect, so he replied angrily in Qiang dialect: "Knowingly, I asked a certain family to come here because I was ordered by the Han General Fubo to capture the traitor Han Sui, I advise you to flash to the side, don't interfere, otherwise if you block it, you will be the enemy of my Han and will definitely attract Tianwei."

"Tianwei, haha......" The Qiang generals laughed when they heard this, "Your so-called Han Court is now fighting endlessly, making a mess, and you are still too busy to take care of yourself, where do you still have the ability to fight my Qiang Ministry, Ma Mengqi, you are arrogant and ridiculous, I think back then, your Han Court has repeatedly attacked my Qiang Ministry, and there have been several big victories, this time, if your so-called Tianwei will come to my Qiang Land, they will definitely have no return."

"Bold" Ma Chao's teeth itched with hatred If it weren't for the small number of soldiers under his command, he couldn't wait to rush forward and shoot the Qiang general off the horse

At this time, I heard the Qiang general say again: "Han Wenyue is a distinguished guest invited by my Qiang prince, and all the sons and daughters of the Qiang tribe will spare no effort to provide protection, if you want to continue to chase after me, pass me first, if not, retreat quickly, I hope you will do it yourself."

Ma Chao was angry, but his mind was very clear, he knew that with his own men, it was impossible for him to be an opponent of more than 10,000 Qiang soldiers, and even if he was lucky enough to win, he would not be able to fight Han Sui again

The hero doesn't eat the loss in front of him, Ma Chao turned the horse's head, shouted, turned his head and left

After retreating to Xiliang, Ma Chao reported the Qiang people's defense of Han Sui to Ma Teng, who quickly wrote a recital to Luan Yi and begged the king of Qi for permission to give him some color to the invincible Qiang people

……

Speaking of the Qiang people, according to legend, they are the descendants of Emperor Yan, which is a part of the descendants of Yan and Huang as later generations, during the Yin Shang and Three Dynasties, they mainly lived in the northwest region located at the source of the Yellow River, and later migrated eastward during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and settled in the Hehuang area

During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, in order to appease the Qiang people, the Xiongnu royal court fell apart and collapsed in the west of Xiliang for the Qiang people to inhabit During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the glorious Xiongnu Empire on the grassland was defeated by the Han army and suffered heavy losses, and the Xiongnu royal court fell apart and collapsed, and the Qiang people took this opportunity to ask the Xiongnu to control and enslave the Xiongnu and establish an independent minority regime

After Wang Mang's rebellion, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and Zhuqiang took the opportunity to move inward, and set the tribe's garrison in the fertile Hexi Corridor and the Hetao Plain, which was the core area of the Silk Road

As a ruler who made his fortune on commerce and trade As a future man from the 21st century, Luan Yi knew very well the importance of the Silk Road to the development and reproduction of himself, the Han Dynasty and even the entire Han nation Therefore, long before Luan Yi sent troops to the west, he had already made a decision with the Korean Chinese military forces The main strategic goal was to conquer the Qiang people Occupy the Hexi Corridor In one fell swoop, he saved the Silk Road from Chang'an west to the Guizi country in his own hands

Because of this reason, when Luan Yi received Ma Teng's play, he immediately approved Ma Teng's request, but he told Ma Teng not to worry, this expedition to the Qiang Road, if you don't fight, you have to beat the Qiang people, break up, and capture the Qiang people's territory in one fell swoop

In this regard, although the population of the Qiang people is not large, only more than 3 million, but as a former grassland nomadic people, they still retain a certain tradition of all the people being soldiers, and there are at least 7.8 million soldiers who can carry swords to participate in the battle, and it is difficult for Ma Teng's 40,000 people to do anything, so it is better to stay a few days and wait for the church to reach the army, and then give a thunderous blow, at that time, the destruction of the Qiang people is just around the corner, and General Ma can also find Han Sui, but the family feud

Ma Teng knew that what Luan Yi said was right, starting from Emperor He, in the past 120 years, the Han court and the Qiang people have been fighting endlessly, and more than 100,000 people have participated in more than 30 wars, and the court cannot destroy the Qiang people in each war, and the Qiang people cannot enter Xiliang, and the two have been in a stalemate for months or even years, and finally it has ended in failure

The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and in order to get rid of the Qiang people, it is necessary to launch the most fierce offensive against the Qiang people with all the strength of the whole country, as Luan Yi said, and completely conquer them

The waiting time is always long, Ma Teng suffered for three days in Lintao, and finally looked forward to Luan Yi's army

From the soldiers and horses to Luan Yi, he immediately summoned all the civil and military forces to discuss the specific strategy after entering the Qiang land

At the military level, Xu Shu suggested that Luan Yi divide the army into three and drive straight into the Qiang Road, and finally rendezvous at the Qiang King's Court Stone Town

He said that the Qiang people seem to be extremely powerful, but in fact they are not monolithic, and there are more than 20 tribes of all sizes, among them, Xian Ling, Sister Le, Dang Pan, Dang Khotan, Feng Yang, Sister Gang, Beipu, Wuwu, Zhong Cun, Gong Tang, and Freeze, Fu Nan, all of them are in Longxi, Jincheng, Shicheng, and Saiwai, and there are no more, Shen Yi, and some of the prison sisters are in Shangjun, and some of them are in Xihe, and each department has its own chiefs, and they often attack and plunder each other, and there are constant conflicts

Our army can take advantage of the contradictions between the Qiang people and take the initiative to join forces with the Qiang people who have close contacts with Quanwu, Shen Di, Sister Prison, and Xianling to attack those Qiang people who are hostile to the Han Court, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort

After the two finished talking about the countermeasures, Luan Yi immediately made a decision, not only adopting Xu Shu's statement that the troops were divided into three routes, but also following what Xi Zhicai said, they joined forces to eliminate differences, and the two strategies were two-pronged, and the battle of the Qiang people was immediately fully deployed

Xi Zhicai immediately left Dazhai with a mission and personally wandered among the Qiangs, either to lure him or to provoke him with hatred to persuade Quanwu, Shen Yi, Sister Prison, and Xian Ling to help Han Ting
