Chapter 271: Dieluo City

readx;

Many people would not have thought that this seemingly random move by the Holy Son of Heaven Hu Hai would create the royal newspaper that would become the mouthpiece of the entire Great Qin in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

And at this moment, these students of the Royal Academy, who were receiving Hu Hai's earnest teachings, naturally did not expect that there would be such a day in this newspaper academy. At this moment, they were excited to be able to get in touch with His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven Emperor of Great Qin so closely, and they were thinking about the disadvantages of the needle in the mouth of His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven.

…………

Daqin Western Regions County, car city.

After the oath of the flag three days ago, the Pingyi general Li Xin was the main general, commanding the 80,000 cavalry of the Great Qin Pingyi Army and 20,000 foot soldiers of the White Tiger Army as the first army of the Great Qin's Western Expedition.

At the same time, Du Teng, the commander of the White Tiger Army, left 10,000 Pingyi Army cavalry to garrison Shache City, and personally commanded the 30,000 White Tiger Army infantry and 10,000 Pingyi Army cavalry still parked in Shache City.

The direction of Du Teng's 40,000-strong army was the three small cities of the Yiya Kingdom, which were only more than a hundred miles away from Shache City and in the basin at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.

The official of the Ministry of Rites who handed over Hu Hai's letter to Iya had already returned. Three days, this is the deadline given by Hu Hai to Ia. If Iya hadn't chosen to join Great Qin, then the Kingdom of Iya would have been greeted with a devastating blow from Great Qin.

It is impossible for Hu Hai to keep such a hostile kingdom to Great Qin because Yi Ya is the princess of Loulan and a beautiful woman in the city, and it is on the road to Central Asia that Great Qin has.

Either annex or perish.

These are the two paths stated in Huhai's letter to Iya. How to choose, that's Iya's business.

In three days, Li Xin's army had all crossed the Holy Mountain Pass and entered the Pamir Plateau. As early as before Hu Hai officially declared war on the Brahmana, Jiezhi, Chaobo, Najieluohao and other countries in Central Asia, the 5,000 White Tiger soldiers of the Lu Xiong Division of the White Tiger Army stationed at the Shengshan Pass had already attacked and defeated the 20,000 Brahmana troops who came to provoke.

The battle of the 5,000 White Tiger Army against the 20,000 Brahmana army. The full count only lasted less than two pillars of incense.

The entire legion of the White Tiger Army of 100,000 people is the only legion in Great Qin with only 10,000 cavalry. The rest, such as the heavy armored regiment of the Royal Xuanwu Army, have 30,000 heavy armored cavalry and 10,000 light cavalry;

However, the White Tiger Army was the legion with the most large repeating crossbow machines among the sixteen legions of Great Qin. The entire corps is now equipped with more than 2,500 large-scale repeat-firing crossbow machines, and on average, there is basically one large-scale repeating crossbow machine for every 40 soldiers.

If you add a new type of crossbow machine per person, the White Tiger Army still holds the title of the highest attack power of all legions in Great Qin, even if Weng Zhong's Royal Xuanwu Army Heavy Armor Legion can only choose to retreat three feet in the face of the White Tiger Army's 2,500 large continuous shooting crossbow machines.

Lu Xiong's 5,000 White Tiger Army is equipped with more than 100 large-scale repeating crossbow machines. In the face of this large repeated-fire crossbow machine with more than 100 units, a swarm of swarms rushed up to kill Fanyan's 20,000 troops before they even entered the White Tiger Army's position within 200 steps, and they had already collapsed.

This is also the reason why Lu Xiong deliberately let them into the range of the White Tiger Army's small crossbows in order to kill and injure these Fanyana people who don't know the height of the sky.

Otherwise, according to the effective killing distance of more than 1,800 paces of the new large-scale repeating crossbow machine. It is impossible for the 20,000-strong army of the Brahmana to even enter the range of 1,500 paces.

A three-foot spear on the ground with the thickness of an arm, well, in the eyes of the Brahmanas, it was a spear, though it was shorter than a spear. Every time the mournful sound of breaking the sky came, it would plow blood grooves in the dense ranks.

If that spear is deadly. Then the inch-long rain of black crossbow arrows that will fall from the sky every few breaths is the death scythe that chases the soul.

In the face of the spear, there may be a possibility of escaping, but in the face of the rain of crossbow arrows that seems to be denser than the rain, there is no possibility of escaping at all, and he can only watch more than a dozen dozens of crossbow arrows tear through his thin armor and skin, piercing his body.

For the first time, these small Central Asian countries saw the war machine from that legendary ancient country of the East, and had the privilege of being the first to feel it. Although the price is their lives.

Seeing that the Fanyana Corps dropped no less than five or six thousand corpses in less than a stick of incense and began to turn around and flee, with Lu Xiong's order, the five thousand White Tiger Army foot soldiers were three people and one cone, ten people were one big cone, and one hundred people formed a larger conical charging formation, pulled out their waist swords, and pounced fiercely like a tiger down the mountain.

Even if the Ouroboros were chased, the long-term training still allowed the White Tiger Army to maintain a strict cone-shaped formation. The power of teamwork. It is always much more lethal than fighting alone.

After ten years of accumulation and innovation, the Great Qin Army has long since broken away from the primary form of judging military merits by the head set by the initial emperor. Instead, it was changed to a brand-new method of evaluating military merit based on the corps, the colonel, the captain, and the establishment of the Great Qin army.

In this way, although some stifle the emergence of individual heroism, some discourage the enthusiasm of the soldiers. But it is far more likely than having disputes or even killing each other for the sake of heads, and unnecessary battle damage due to not maintaining a formation on the battlefield.

Ten years ago, the military merit knighthood system may have been the basis for the Great Qin to unify the world, but ten years later. However, under Hu Hai's deliberate changes again and again, he has long lost his original purpose.

It is undeniable that the military lord system is the basis for the Great Qin to unify the world, but with profit as the driving force, driving the soldiers to fight may be able to achieve temporary victory, but when there is no war, how can the soldiers achieve military achievements? What then?

With the passage of time, the military system will inevitably disappear. And the military system of the Great Qin army, Hu Hai is accumulating. As long as the time is right, the system of military merit awarding can be formally implemented and abolished.

The military lord system made Great Qin belligerent and aggressive, with both advantages and disadvantages. However, today's world science and technology as a whole is still in the embryonic state, which is still achieved by the great efforts I have made in the past ten years. How far can you hit with just two human legs? What's the use of just beating it down without effective control?

When Li Xin's army arrived at the Holy Mountain Pass, Lu Xiong's 5,000 White Tiger Army had just finished cleaning the battlefield. Fanyan's 20,000-strong army was lost in a battle, including the main general, who also died under the strong crossbows of the White Tiger Army, and only a few Fanyana soldiers of less than 1,000 people escaped.

Naturally, there won't be too much oil and water on these Brahmanas, but the corpses always have to be disposed of, and more than 2,000 captives also need to be arranged. Of course, this captive is the main force that disposes of the corpses of the Brahmana soldiers.

To be honest, the battle against Fanyan's 20,000-strong army made the soldiers of the White Tiger Army who were bent on fighting very disappointed. The contrast is too great. Although the White Tiger Army looked down on Fanyana's soldiers, and the strong crossbows of the five thousand White Tiger Army were not without flaws, they originally thought that Fanyana would be able to at least fight with their own real swords and guns no matter how unbearable they were.

As a result, before the battle was engaged, these Brahmanas had already been directly dispersed. So much so that the next chase and killing of the White Tiger soldiers couldn't lift their energy.

Li Xin didn't say much about Lu Xiong's battle. On the way here, he had already seen the official report of Lu Xiong and others. After a day's pause and rest at the Holy Mountain Pass, the White Tiger Army, a lieutenant who left Lu Xiong, continued to guard the Holy Mountain Pass and was responsible for sending the Brahmana captives back to Sheche City. Li Xin waved his army and officially entered the territory of the Brahmana Kingdom.

……

Li Xin's 100,000-strong army was advancing, and the 20,000-strong army that had already received the 20,000-strong army that had gone to punish the small eastern country had been wiped out, but the Brahma kingdom had already quarreled because of the destruction of the 20,000-strong army.

The loss of the 20,000 army was all lost, and naturally it would not make the Brahmana Kingdom, which had more than ten cities, break its muscles and bones. What was terrifying was that the 20,000-strong army had completely collapsed within 200 steps of not even entering the opponent's formation, while the opponent only had 5,000 men.

Naturally, the people of Fanyan would not know that the reason why they were able to walk two hundred steps was because Lu Xiong deliberately released water to let them get closer so that they could die. If he knew, I am afraid that at this moment the king of Brahmana would have begun to consider whether to surrender directly.

In terms of how to deal with the Eastern Great Qin, the country was divided into two factions. One faction is the main battle faction led by the family of the fallen Brahmana generals, and the other side is the main peace faction that advocates reconciliation and temporary rest. The argument between the two sides seems to have forgotten a serious question, that is, whether the Great Qin will send troops to attack Fanyana.

On the first day of the fifth month of the 60th year of the Great Qin calendar, Li Xin's army captured the border fortress of Fanyana, which seemed to have no defense, and captured the general of Fanyana who defended the city, Luo Ji, and more than 10,000 soldiers defending the city. In the battle of the fallen city, Li Xin's army suffered only a few hundred casualties.

After capturing the fortress of Luocheng, Li Xin did not make any stops, and after leaving 30,000 troops to garrison Luocheng, he immediately marched westward and captured the second largest city in the Brahyana kingdom, which was less than 200 miles away from the royal city of Fanyana, on the night of the second day of the fifth month.

Since Li Xin had never stayed in Luocheng at all, he did not receive the news of the fall of the Luocheng fortress at all, and took advantage of the night to cover the 20,000 cavalry of the Pingyi Army to forcibly break through the rudimentary gate of Dieluo City and enter the city of Dieluo.

In just one hour, the banner of the word "Qin" has begun to flutter on the head of the city of Dieluo.

In this battle, more than 30,000 Fanyana soldiers and civilians were strangled by the cavalry of the 20,000 Pingyi Army, and there were countless cases of burning, killing, looting, and plundering cheap silver. After the war, the fire of the city was monstrous, and it could be seen dozens of miles away.

After Li Xin entered the city, he did not see any captives of the Brahmana soldiers. There were only flames burning everywhere, broken corpses all over the streets, and women who had been stripped naked and discarded haphazardly in various parts of the city.

Dieluo City seems to have ignited the beastly nature in the hearts of the Donghu cavalry who belonged to Daqin, and became a hell on earth under the hooves of the cavalry of the Pingyi Army. (To be continued)
