0266 The Qin-Han Controversy
The mercenary captain took out the wine jug from his waist and took a slight sip, "And under the all-out blitzkrieg launched by the Great Han, Ying Tiancheng, as the easternmost part of Great Qin, is the primary target of attack. β
"Almost in less than three days, inside and outside Yingtian City, the corpses of soldiers left by Daqin and Dahan have exceeded 100,000, after the East-West War, Daqin has a retreating reserve corps just repaired in Yingtian City, and this corps of less than 30,000 people, in less than three days, all of them were killed, and the Han attacked Yingtian City regardless of the cost, just to quickly break the city and attack the territory of Daqin, so the death toll is more. β
"The entire Eastern Alliance was shocked, they didn't expect the Great Han to be so crazy, and what they didn't expect was that the Great Qin Empire, which had always been at the forefront of the East-West War, was able to withstand the most powerful attack of the Great Han in a very short period of time after experiencing painful casualties and attrition. β
"A legion was wiped out, and the entire Yingtian City fell into the hands of the Han Empire, but at that time, Yingtian City was only a ruined wall, and it was impossible to see that it was once a heroic city. β
The mercenary captain sighed lightly, "Do you know, three days, only three days, maybe the fast horse that reported from Ying Tiancheng has not yet rushed back to Fengdu, Ying Tiancheng has already broken the city." This time was something that Great Qin could not have imagined at all. β
Qin Qiong also sighed lightly, "That time, Daqin's loss should be very large, right?"
The mercenary captain nodded slightly, "No, it can be said that the entire eastern part fell under the iron cavalry of the Great Han in a short period of time." But at that time, the Han Dynasty also experienced the Great War between the East and the West, although it was not on the front line, but there were always many main forces fighting on the front line, and at the same time they had to bear the logistics maintenance of the front line, so it was also a loss of money and money, and it also took a long time to repair. β
This is why future generations don't understand that the Han Dynasty would choose such a point in time to launch a war against the Great Qin. β
"What's even more interesting is that", the mercenary captain shook his head and said puzzledly, "The Han Empire spent so much manpower and material resources to finally capture Yingtian City and the eastern part of Great Qin, but did not choose to occupy it, but just burned it
Killed and plundered. β
"What kind of country is Great Qin? It is the country with the highest military strength on the entire continent, how can it allow people to enter the house without resisting? So there was no need to mobilize, the four main group armies that came down from the battlefield did not receive any orders from the royal family, the main cavalry regiments of the two group armies, the Qinglong and the White Tiger Cavalry Regiment, went straight to the eastern battlefield, and the main cavalry regiments of the other two group armies, Suzaku and the Xuanwu Cavalry Regiment, did not say a word, and actually bypassed the eastern battlefield, did not say any greetings to Datang, and directly entered the national border of Datang, and under the nose of the Datang border guards, they borrowed Datang and went straight to the territory of Dahan. β
Bai Qianye and the others were stunned suddenly, including Bai Yiyi and the others, they were all surprised, they all knew that the Great Qin Iron Cavalry was in the world, but they really didn't expect it to be so fierce.
The mercenary captain took a sip of wine at this moment and laughed a few times, "If you talk about defending the city, then there is nothing to do with the cavalry regiment, that is the strength of the infantry." β
"But if you talk about the Great Plains battle in the eastern battlefield, it is really the world of cavalry, and we, the Great Qin Iron Cavalry World!"
"When the Qinglong and the White Tiger Cavalry Regiment rushed to the eastern battlefield, they did not make too many repairs, the Green Dragon Cavalry Regiment attacked head-on, and the White Tiger Cavalry Regiment attacked from the side, and the strong combat effectiveness of the two cavalry regiments was shown in the eyes of the Eastern Alliance. β
"Although the Han Dynasty entered Daqin with a total of 200,000 troops, the number of cavalry was only less than 70,000, and in the eastern plains of Pingchuan, it was impossible to stop the charge of nearly 100,000 iron cavalry of the two major cavalry regiments. β
"It is also a division that has experienced a big war and is also a tired army, but the two cavalry regiments of Qinglong and Baihu are biting the 200,000 Han troops to the death, so that they can't do it if they want to retreat, so they can only hold on to the same place. β
The mercenary captain smiled, "You all know this, after all, on the plains, in the face of cavalry, especially the cavalry opponent who is superior in all aspects, the best way is to set up a defensive formation, and you must not break and escape, so the casualties will be heavier." β
Bai Qianye nodded, "We all know this. β
The mercenary captain shrugged, "Of course, this
Everyone knows this truth, so the Han army, which had already lost most of its cavalry in the first round of confrontation, immediately set up a defensive formation and slowly retreated towards the national border. β
"But it was precisely because the main force of the Han Dynasty that contained the 200,000 people and did not let them quickly retreat into the country that the other two cavalry regiments were able to slaughter in the western part of the Han Dynasty, only grabbing supplies and leaving no people and animals in the whole process. β
"You must know that the two major cavalry regiments of Xuanwu and Suzaku are the main cavalry regiments of Great Qin, although they are a little worse than the Bright Cavalry Regiment directly under the Holy See in the Western Alliance, after all, it is a cavalry regiment directly under the Holy See, and no one can compare with it. β
"But among the regular cavalry regiments of other empires, the four major cavalry regiments of Great Qin are all in front, especially the Blue Dragon Cavalry Regiment, which is a heavy cavalry, and the entire cavalry regiment is a heavy cavalry, so they are responsible for the main frontal attack. β
Qin Qiong slowly exhaled, "It seems that in this big battle, the big man won at the beginning and lost at the end." β
The mercenary captain nodded, "Don't think that Daqin, who only has two cavalry regiments, will do something in the Great Han, because these two cavalry regiments actually hit Chang'an City in the end, which is the country of the Great Han." β
"The cavalry, you are fast, and when you hit Chang'an City, you naturally encountered other corps in the Han Dynasty, so the two cavalry regiments also withdrew, and they withdrew from the western border of the Han Dynasty openly. β
The mercenary captain smiled at this time, and it was obvious that it was the kind of laugh that came from the heart, "The entire Eastern Alliance countries interceded, and the two cavalry regiments withdrew, but they went back, but they cut off the back road of the nearly 200,000 people in Daqin. β
"You can imagine the result", the mercenary captain sneered a few times, "Let's pass the fortress, and after a short walk, you can see an altar, which is the altar built by the Han for the 200,000 people back then, and all the 200,000 people died in battle, and none of them survived." β
And the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty have not recovered for many years since then. The current Han Dynasty has long lost the glory of many years ago, so many people in the country have begun to disobey the royal family's orders. β
