Chapter 334: How Expensive Is Hu'er?
After several years of immigration, a large number of people migrated to the four counties of Hexi, making the four counties of Hexi vibrant.
In particular, Wang Jing specially arranged for some people who had migrated to return to their hometowns to visit relatives, and told those people about the situation in the four counties of Hexi. Let more people migrate there.
After all, although the environment here is worse than that of the Central Plains, it is not as competitive as the Central Plains. In addition, in order to develop the four counties of Hexi, the imperial court has a policy tilt towards the four counties of Hexi, which is enough to make the people live a better life.
Therefore, from the 21st year of the Mandate of Heaven to the 26th year of the Mandate of Heaven, the population of the four counties in Hexi has exceeded 700,000 in five years.
In addition, there are many horse farms in the four counties of Hexi, and the horse farms not only produce war horses, but also a large number of horses. Some of these horses are sent to various places for sale, and some are sold to local people at low prices.
Therefore, almost every household in the four counties of Hexi has a horse. Horse farming, which is different from other places, has also emerged here.
Heavenly Gift City in the Western Regions.
When the first batch of expeditionary sons came here, Wang Bo was ready.
Because there is a heavenly spring, the farmland of Tianci City is very fertile, since the Wang family took root in Tianci City, reclaimed millions of acres of fertile land, Tianci City through the ditch to lead the spring water, the original surrounding small oasis all connected.
Over the years, the scope of these oases has been slowly expanding, and now all of them are connected to the Heavenly City.
The original Gobi Desert has become the south of the Yangtze River, which is also known as the land of heaven. Today, 200,000 people live in the land of heaven.
At that time, the imperial court migrated thousands of princes, and after these years of multiplication, the number of dry people exceeded 50,000. And there are as many as 100,000 mixed-race children with dry people.
It can be said that this place has become an important base for the Great Cadres in the Western Regions.
Outside the city of Qiuzi, shouts of killing came and went.
Wang Bo led 2,000 troops of the Western Regions Protectorate, 3,000 expeditions to Erlang, and 3,000 Guardian Knights lined up outside the city.
After Daqian defeated the Xiongnu, most of the small countries in the Western Regions surrendered, and even many small countries went to Shenluoyang to worship.
Many small barbarian countries were shocked by the prosperity of Deep Luoyang, but there were also some small barbarian countries who found that Daqian was too far away from the Western Regions. Even if the Great Cadre is strong, it is very difficult to put his power into the Western Regions.
As a result, some countries in the Western Regions began to have thoughts that they should not have.
Among them are Wusun, Qiuzi and some countries further west. In their minds, the Huns were defeated and no longer a threat, and the Central Plains was thousands of miles away, so the Western Regions was what they said.
Therefore, some small countries dare to be rude to the envoys, and even send people to attack and kill the envoys.
Seeing this situation, Wang Jing was furious, so he sent an expedition to Erlang, gave soldiers armor, grain and grass to let them follow the Western Regions Protector to crusade against Qiuzi.
The country of Qiuzi has a population of more than 80,000 in the Western Regions, but because it is in the trade route, it has a lot of money and has 20,000 soldiers. It is the strongest country in the Western Regions except for Wusun.
But this strength is only compared to the countries of the Western Regions. If the matching mechanism of such a place as the countries of the Western Regions had been destroyed in the Central Plains, I don't know how many times it would have been destroyed.
Wang Bo led an army of 8,000 to line up outside the city, and the Qiuzi Kingdom requisitioned all the troops from other cities to defeat Daqian in a battle.
In addition to these 8,000 troops, Wang Bo also had many soldiers drawn from other countries. The first thing that started was the battle between the country of Qiuzi and the soldiers of these small countries. Da Qian only sent some archers to assist.
The two sides fought outside the city, and it was not until the afternoon that the soldiers of those small countries could not hold on and withdrew in embarrassment.
"This Guizi country still has some skills!" Wang Bo looked at the battlefield and said with a smile.
Yuktor was very happy to see the army defeat the cadre army, so he sent the army to press, wanting to completely defeat the cadre army in a battle.
In the past, under the excellent matching mechanism of the Western Regions, it was rare for a big battle to last so long, usually the cavalry fought a wave as long as it was victorious, and then used the cavalry to threaten it, once the opposite side was shaken, the army pressed the decisive battle and defeated it.
But in today's battle, those dry archers were extremely powerful, and the cavalry under his command could not rush at all, so they could only use infantry to fight.
As a result, this battle lasted for more than three hours, and even those armor soldiers had been rotated for a while, but even so, they walked more and more heavily in armor.
"My lord, the main force of the cadres is those armor soldiers, and they can only defeat these people without any damage to them. It's better to press on the army, drive the rout to charge the battle, and then defeat the cadres in one fell swoop! ”
Yuktor, the king of Guizi, looked at those dry men, then nodded in agreement, and immediately ordered the army to press.
As soon as Yuktor changed formation, Wang Bo immediately found out.
Three thousand soldiers of the Knights of the Protectorate had arrived on both sides of the battlefield.
"The warriors of Daqian, the king of Qiuzi dares to attack and kill the envoys, the crime is extremely evil, and the wife and shadow are in this dynasty, kill it!"
In the sky, I don't know when, the dark clouds dissipated slightly, and a golden ray of sunlight shone down, just falling on Wang Bo, reflecting him like a god.
When the surrounding soldiers saw such a miracle, they immediately shouted: "King Wen is above, kill!" ”
With the roar of earth-shattering, the army immediately rushed towards the army formation of the Qiuzi people. The hooves of the three thousand Knights of the Protectors rushed towards the Turtles like a torrent.
Arrows fell from the sky, the Knights of the Protector were already good at riding and archery, and there were three treasures of cavalry, and their strength far exceeded that of the Qiuzi people, and for a while, a large number of Qiuzi people were directly shot off the horse, and then they were trampled into meat by the war horse in an instant.
With the continuous rain of arrows, Qiuzi's cavalry team soon suffered a large number of casualties, and the formation became sparse, and the charging Knights of the Cathar charged past the Qiuzi cavalry.
The long knife swept away, and a large number of Qiuzi people were killed.
He was followed by the expeditionary sons, attacking the defeated army of Qiuzi that had been dispersed into a rout, driving them to attack the other military formations of Qiuzi, while he hid behind, and once the army formation of the Qiuzi people was disrupted, these people immediately covered up and killed.
Then carry more routs to attack the rest of the formation.
The cavalry of the two thousand Western Regions Protectorate constantly searched for the Qiuzi army formation that still had combat effectiveness, and then shot fiercely with strong bows, and once this army formation could not support it, they immediately launched a charge to disperse it.
The Qiuzi people can't beat the Huns, that is, they are in front of the small countries in the Western Regions, how can they be the opponents of the Great Qiantie Cavalry?
Originally, they could still fight for one or two rounds in a state of complete victory, but after three hours of fighting, the Turtles couldn't resist it at all.
After encountering an enemy who cannot win, the soldiers will choose to flee for their lives, and one person fleeing will bring more people, and finally the army will be completely defeated.
Wang Bo led the army to defeat an army formation again, and when he saw that the banner of the King of Qiuci was very close, he immediately ordered two thousand elite horsemen to rush straight to the army of the King of Qiuci.
When Youktor saw the rout on the battlefield and the overwhelming iron cavalry rushing towards him, he was so frightened that he did not dare to stay, and fled back to the city with his army behind.
Wang Bo led the army to easily break through the barrier, and when he saw the king of Qiuci fleeing, he cut down the banner of the king of Qiuci with a knife, and then shouted: "The king of Qiuci has escaped!" ”
Hundreds of people shouted in unison, and soon everyone on the battlefield heard it.
Seeing that the main general fled, the Qiuci army could no longer support it, and was directly defeated, Wang Bo led the rank and tail to chase and kill, and the Qiuci army suffered heavy casualties and surrendered countless times.
