Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 801 The First Mystery of War—How to Accurately Kill

The situation of the battle was not as Guo Guangyi thought, Zhou Junguang caught only 5 heads, er, [-] people would take a long time.

In fact, as soon as Bai Congxinsuo arrived, the battle was easy.

Hezhong and Persia, what should I say in this area, their combat effectiveness belongs to a very uncomfortable level, as if their production and lifestyle are between farming and nomadic.

In terms of infantry and elite cavalry, they were far inferior to the Chinese dynasties represented by the Han and Tang dynasties. After the Chinese dynasties took control of Anxi, they would casually recruit some Anxi miscellaneous soldiers to fight them, and then blast them.

For example, Zhang Xiaosong, the ancestor of Zhang Shengren, relied on a few hundred Tang troops to control more than ten thousand Anxi miscellaneous soldiers, and fought all the way from Shule to Samarkand and Kabul. The Tang Dynasty was shocked.

At the same time, the Hezhong and Persians were no match for the ruthless men from Monan and Mobei when they played light cavalry.

Historically, as long as the grassland peoples in the south and north of the desert moved westward, Hezhong, Persia and other places would suffer bad luck. First there was Xiliao and then Mongolia, all of which are famous examples.

Even if it wasn't for the 300-year war in the Hexi Corridor that caused the population to drop sharply, and the subsequent climate change made it impossible to recover the population quickly, Zhang Teng has no doubt that the Xixia in history would have been able to take a trip to the river.

The only short period when they rose to prominence was nothing more than the explosive development of Tianfang Sect, and then encountered this small window period when the Tang Empire gradually collapsed, and Saman Persia rose to prominence.

But it was only 30 or [-] years before and after, and then they quickly returned to their original rank.

So, when they bumped into the heavily armored infantry and elite cavalry from the Great Zhou Dynasty, they ran into the prairie light cavalry from the desert grassland and brainwashed by the Six Law Sects.

The scene was just like Lao Tzu beating his son, more than [-] prairie light cavalry grabbed these river chickens and beat them up, but within an hour or two, the first stage of the battle was completely over, and the rest was hunting.

In this battle, Guo Guangyi came with an army of 4. As a result, more than 2000 were killed, tens of thousands were injured, and more than [-] were captured. Those who escaped smoothly, no more than [-] people, and it is very likely that found in subsequent searches.

After Bai Congxin and Hu Guang joined forces, Hu Guang took out the order that Zhang Ting had given him a long time ago, ordering Bai Congxin to immediately form the Hezhong Duhufu and Hezhong Xingying Yamen.

Bai Cong trusted the Chief Protector, Hu Guang served as the Deputy Chief Protector, Yao Yuanfu, Lu Sanlang and Lu Zhen served as the Deputy Chief Protector, Guo Guangsheng served as the marching commander, Li Jixun and Pei Tongyuan served as envoys to the left and right sides of the camp yamen, and the army was stationed in Talas.

Guo Guang became the governor of the Suiye Governor's Mansion, and the garrison Suiye resumed production.

Guo Guangyi was tied up outside Hushui City, his heart was ashamed, and he was even more shocked.

It wasn't until this time that he felt that he had indeed underestimated the determination of the emperor, and of course he underestimated the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty even more.

Judging from the current combat effectiveness, not to mention that the [-] fine cavalry that Bai Congxin came across the desert can easily beat him, even if Hu Guang led only a few thousand people to fight, he would not be able to carry it.

Like Guo Tianfang, he realized for the first time that there are real heavenly soldiers, and it is also true that a Han should be a five-hu.

Bai Congxin glanced at Guo Guangyi in disgust, then looked past Hu Guang, Yao Yuanfu and others, to Lu Sanlang in the distance and Xue Shouli, who joined the army following him.

"Cut off the tongue, cut off the tendons in the hands and feet, but don't let him die, and send him back to the capital of God."

The meaning is obvious. Although Guo Guangcheng didn't come, this traitor should be dealt with by your own members of the Donggui Sect.

Xue Shouli couldn't hold back for a long time. He stepped forward, picked up Guo Guangyi's hair, and went back and forth with four big pussies, only hitting Guo Guangyi with starry eyes and nosebleeds.

"Donkey, you are really embarrassing to your ancestors, our family with five surnames and three kings, why did you come out of such a thing!"

Lu Sanlang came up with a dagger himself, and he had mixed feelings at this moment. If Zhang Ting hadn't come to Anxi, he would have almost followed Guo Guangyi's path.

Although Lu Sanlang was not welcomed by the five surnames and three kings' families of the Donggui Sect, it was precisely because of this that he wanted to use this kind of thing to strengthen the rationality of his identity.

Although Guo Guangyi was beaten into a pig's head, when he saw Lu Sanlang coming up with a short knife, he still instinctively wanted to say something, but how could Lu Sanlang and his dirty words stain everyone's ears.

Therefore, before Guo Guangyi could speak, he squeezed Guo Guangyi's jaw and twisted it. Guo Guangyi's jaw dislocated and he was completely speechless.

At the same time, a delicate hook miraculously appeared in Lu Sanlang's left hand. Somehow, he inserted it into Guo Guangyi's unclosable mouth and pulled out his tongue.

Then Lu Sanlang pulled his tongue straight, and the pain continued until Guo Guangyi's eyeballs protruded, as if his tongue was about to be pulled off in a second, and then he slashed with the dagger.

There was an inhuman scream. Although Guo Guangyi was tied to the wooden stake, his whole body was shaking like an electric shock. The veins on his forehead popped up. He struggled so hard that the wooden stake began to crooked. up.

It wasn't until Guo Guangyi, who was bleeding heavily, turned pale, his howling voice became hoarse, and his clothes on his chest were all stained red with blood, that Lu Sanlang took out a small package of medicine and handed it to the army doctor.

"Wait until his tendons and hamstrings are healed before picking them up, otherwise the pain will add up and the pain will be less painful. These days I will lock him in the livestock shed, and when the wound is almost healed, I will call a certain family."

Guo Guangyi looked at Lu Sanlang in horror, his eyes full of despair that he didn't die early.

Luo Dingzhong knelt on the ground with a plop, and the corpses of Hu Shuicheng were cleaned up. A total of more than 4 men died in battle, and more than [-] people died of old and weak women and children due to various reasons. All [-] people died directly. One-third more.

However, he knew that the people in Hushui City were pretty good, because in front of his eyes, a massacre was going on that he had never seen before.

Guo Guangyi's defeated army of more than 5 people plus the captured Baishui City's thousands of men, a total of about [-] people, were all pulled to the edge of Hushui.

Soldiers in heavy armor walked among these kneeling captives, throwing a lump of mud on his neck to see who displeased them, and then those who were thrown cried out in horror.

Luo Dingzhong knew why they were crying, because anyone whose neck was smeared with mud would be pulled aside soon, and their heads would be chopped off with a knife, and then the headless corpses would be pushed into the big pit dug by these people in advance. was thrown into a large box.

Luo Dingzhong looked around, and he suddenly found out what these soldiers were choosing.

All those with fierce faces, rebellious temperament, physically disabled, thinner, and older people were all marked with mud on their necks and then executed.

And those who survived were all simple-faced or frightened to shit and pee, but they looked healthy and had two strengths.

This is not selecting people, but selecting cattle and horses, the kind of cattle and horses that dare not make a sound until they plow the land to death.

Bai Congxin yawned. It is rare to see this kind of situation in the Central Plains, because every working man in his prime is precious.

Even if it is a capital crime, those who can stay should stay as much as possible. Even in the rebellion in Wuning Town, Xuzhou, most of them were pardoned and assigned to Anton.

But the young people in this place are valuable productive forces, but sorry, they need to make room for the herdsmen on the grassland and the farmers from the Central Plains.

The 5 people were drawn three times and killed first, and then drawn three times and killed again. In the end, Bai Congxin felt that there were still some vicious people who slipped through the net, so he drew three times and killed again.

After three rounds in a row, there were less than 5000 people left. Most of these people were as pure and qualified as Luo Dingzhong could see. The real cattle and horses.

"Order the king to join the army to commemorate the composition. Secretary Zheng led the craftsmen to erect an inscription and built a Beijing temple here, so that everyone can see what will happen if you dare to betray the heaven!"

Bai Congxin stood up slowly, it was getting late, he was going to rest in the city for a night and then rushed to Talas.

After all, there must still be battles to be fought in the follow-up. The Creek Department is going to be finished. Although Samanposs still can't swallow it, he still has to tear it out.

"Bai Gong, Bai Gong, please give the people of Hushui City a chance, Bai Gong, I will know that I was wrong."

When Bai Congxin was about to enter the city, Luo Dingzhong rushed out.

He is very smart, he will not think that they have already proved their loyalty with [-] lives, so they can get preferential treatment.

Didn't these young men in Baishui City also resisted Guo Guangyi in Baishui City, but just now, they only drew three times and killed them, and they didn't get any special treatment.

Bai Congxin didn't want to talk to Luo Dingzhong at first, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, he stopped.

Because along the way, he was thinking about what method should be used to realize the saint's Xiajun Yimin and completely occupy this place.

What's more, what Zhang Zhou is doing has never been done in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there is no precedent to follow.

A few years ago, Bai Cong had a relatively simple idea in his confidence. He thought that to occupy this place, he just had to kill all the people here. After killing all the people, the land would naturally be vacated.

However, after several years of thinking and practice, Bai Congxin has realized that killing people is simply unrealistic.

The reason is very simple. Although Da Zhou is going to come to the river to host the Xia Junyi people, the army that can be dispatched, or the army that can be kept in the river for ten or eight years, is about [-] to [-].

If there were more, the burden on the imperial court would be too great. It is simply impossible for an army of 500 to [-] to kill close to [-] million people, and each of them would have to kill more than a hundred people.

Moreover, this is a massacre, which is completely different from killing an enemy on the battlefield. Except for a few inhuman things, most people cannot bear this psychological pressure.

Let others know that after you have come to kill them all, the fighting power that will burst out will be impossible to pacify with tens of thousands of troops alone, let alone how to deal with the supplies after you kill them all.

The second and most unsolvable problem is that whether it is the Central Plains or the desert, there is a problem of sparsely populated land.

Especially the people of the Central Plains, who are the pillars of Xiajun and Yimin, it is not an easy task to attract them to the river.

If you tell these people, you come to Hezhong, and the family is given [-] mu of land, so you come to farm.

People must think you are crazy, let alone five hundred acres, even one thousand acres, it is not worth leaving your hometown for thousands of miles.

These seven lives and three deaths came to Hezhong, but in the end they were still farming, and they were still farmers planing food in the local area. There was nothing wrong with my brain, and it was not that the Central Plains could not survive.

The only thing that can attract them is that in addition to the land, there are servants and wives. It is also a thousand acres of land. You said dryly that there is only land, and there must be few people coming.

But in addition to giving a thousand mu of land, there are also eight to ten serf families who cultivate this land, eh!This attraction came up immediately.

After all, the former is still a farmer, but with a little more land and many unknown dangers, it is not worth it.

But the latter, although it is very likely that they still have to farm, but they are always masters, and their status has improved.

Therefore, simple killing cannot be used to pacify the Xia Junyi people in Hezhong, so Bai Congxin still wants to hear the opinions of local people like Luo Dingzhong.

Moreover, Zhang Ting, who is in Jinling Mansion, has also considered this issue. Don't look at those Angsas who were able to exterminate Indians in North America in history. They were supported by the achievements of the entire first industrial revolution behind them.

No matter how many people are killed, there will be no shortage of food and supplies, because large ships can continuously transport them, and they are not expensive.

After occupying the land, whether it is firewood, fur or ore, it can be converted into wealth immediately, thus attracting more people.

But in this era, it is impossible to replicate the productivity of more than 200 catties of grain per mu of land.
