Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 262 Everyone, take care of your health!
"Let's withdraw, the general, this Chiyan Pass can no longer be guarded..."

"Take the general first and withdraw immediately..."

Seeing that the soldiers from the Western Regions who blocked the city gate had suffered heavy casualties from the unconscionable bombardment, and there was no possibility of success, they set up Toriti and retreated decisively.

And Toriti didn't struggle, and under the cover of his personal guards, he quickly went to the back of the city, where there were war horses.

He said earlier that if Guancheng is breached by the Qin army, no one can escape, and the only way to survive is to defend to the death. In fact, it was just a lie, hoping to fool the soldiers into dying.

When the Qin army really breaks through the pass city, if you want to escape, you can still escape...

Even though the cavalry of the defenders were cooked by the Qin army during the day, the chief general Toriti and his personal guards also had horses.

And it is the best war horse in West Asia!

In addition, there were those Qiang people who led the way, who were disarmed by his personal guards during the day, and the horses that the Qiang people brought with them were naturally collected by the personal guards, and there were two to three thousand horses.

The soldiers of the Western Regions in Guancheng can be assigned to ride, one or two people ride on the same horse, and it is no problem to escape quickly!
Most importantly, the mouth of the Chiyan Canyon was still blocked by the avalanche of snow at this time, and the cavalry of the Qin army and the Qiang people could not get through, and infantry could not chase the cavalry in the ice and snow...

Speaking of it, this is a blessing in misfortune, and it is also thanks to his sudden whim that he designed to lure the Qin army to attack the city at night.

Otherwise, after two days, the Qin army shoveled away the snow at the mouth of the valley, and set up a formation to attack the city in time.

After Jieshi Qin's army broke through with firearms, Toriti and his soldiers really had no chance to escape and could only fight to the end.

It will even implicate the other coalition forces that came to support!
Tonight's defeat was not a crime of war, it was Daqin's weapon, it was too sharp and terrifying, so he had no psychological burden of losing, and he didn't feel shameful about running for his life.

Now he just wants to convey the real power of firearms to the other coalition forces, so that everyone can integrate their forces to fight against the Qin army, and jointly study how to deal with firearms. Maybe there is a chance of winning.

Otherwise, when everyone faced Qin Jun's firearms, they would be like him tonight, beaten and tired of coping.

In the end, they will definitely be defeated one by one, and they will all be buried on this snowy plateau!

……

Cao Shen led his guards and thousands of Qiang warriors, rushed into the hole in the city gate, cleared the way with individual thunderbolts, and quickly cleared them up, but he didn't know that he was abandoned by the general, and he still tried to block the gate with sandbags, rolling logs and stones soldiers of the Western Regions.

Then, seize the pass wall at the first time, and use the binoculars to observe the situation inside and outside the pass city with the help of the bright moonlight reflected by the snow.

Outside the Guancheng, Qin Mo has already led the follow-up support troops and is on their way.

In Guancheng, Toliti and his personal guards had gathered the soldiers from the Western Regions who were going to deal with the Qiang slaves. There were about [-] people, and they were fleeing from the back gate of Guancheng on horseback.

The Qiang slaves knew that the Qin army was attacking the city at night, and wanted to cooperate with the Qin army to keep all the soldiers from the Western Regions, but ninety-nine percent of them were unarmed, and they did not have the conditions to stop the soldiers from the Western Regions.

All those who tried to stop them were killed by random knives, random arrows, random horses and trampled to death!

Cao Shen saw that the escape of soldiers from the Western Regions was inevitable, so he resolutely focused his attention on the Guancheng, and ordered all the generals to lead his troops, bring along a group of Qiang warriors, and began to eliminate the hopeless remnants of the Guancheng.

In order to prevent the remnant enemies who are anxious to jump over the wall, they will set fire to destroy the armaments and supplies!
He himself led short soldiers and a group of Qiang people, went straight to the back gate of Guancheng, ate the tails of some Western Region allied forces, chased them out of the city, and immediately gathered those Qiang slaves who wanted to go out of the city to chase the soldiers of the Western Regions They also closed the back door of the city and controlled it.

Later, the follow-up soldiers led by Qin Mo arrived and quickly wiped out the desperate remnants of the enemy in the city, saving a large amount of armored army, food, cattle, sheep and other supplies!
"General, the chief general of the defenders led about [-] remnants and escaped on horseback from the back gate of Guancheng. The last general did not send any men to pursue him..."

With the smell of gunpowder and blood all over his body, Cao Shen went to Qin Mo to report the situation of the battle.

Qin Mo didn't blame him, he nodded understandingly and said, "If you can't catch up, you won't chase. That's right. None of our soldiers have horses. If we chase them out, they will be ridden by the enemy's cavalry, and they will be killed by the carbine."

"How much will the soldiers lose in this siege?"

Cao Shen shook his hands and replied: "When the city gate was blown up, several Qiang soldiers were injured by the city defense equipment, and one guard was injured by the city defense gold juice, and urgently needed medical treatment... The rest were only injured in the battle. , it is not heavy even with armor and body protection, just wipe it with alcohol and bandage it yourself."

Qin Mo nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, the injured should be sent to the camp outside the city immediately for treatment."

"Also, tell the [-] Qiang people outside the city not to sleep, and take the time to clear away the snow blocking the entrance of the valley!"

"Here."

Cao Shen bowed his hands to accept the order, but turned around and said: "General, will the Qiang slaves gathered in the city also join in to clear the snow?"

Qin Mo shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, let's screen first, and find out the dog legs who have defected to the Allied Forces of the Western Regions."

"By the way, according to the captives, Lao Dunwei and his entourage were also detained in this pass city. Have you ever found it?"

Cao Shen hesitated and said: "I'm afraid they were taken away by the enemy when they fled. The last general's subordinates didn't find them. Otherwise, even if they died, they would always find their bodies..."

Qin Mo nodded and said nothing, and waved his hand to let him go down to take care of things.

……

There are about [-] Qiang slaves collected in the city, both male and female, all young and strong.

But about [-] of them belonged to the leading party who joined the coalition forces of the Western Regions. Their patriarchs and leaders had all been killed by Toriti, and they themselves were disarmed and imprisoned as slaves for half a day.

They were betrayed by the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, and the hatred for the Allied Forces of the Western Regions in their hearts was not weaker than other Qiang people, even more so.

However, this does not erase the crimes they committed by burning, killing and looting on the plateau as the leading party for the coalition forces in the Western Regions.

Since he has committed a crime, there is no reason to expose it easily!

Even after they were screened out, they swore to be irreconcilable with the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, and to submit to Daqin with all their hearts...

Even if they are just ordinary herdsmen, they are just drifting with the trend of joining the Allied Forces of the Western Regions. Those who really make up their minds are the patriarchs who were killed by Toriti...

But if you do a sin, you have done a sin, regardless of your deeds!

Qin Mo sent people out of the customs, found the tribes where they were still living in peace, and controlled all their families, women and children.

Then, they were all compiled as slaves.

In the future when they fight against the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, they will be death squads. If they can fight the enemy bravely and gain something, they can use their military merits to make up for their crimes and set themselves, their families, women and children free.

This is the meaning of the title of the Great Qin Army's meritorious service system. Beheading the enemy's head to pay for crimes, everything is based on military merit. If you can kill a few more ranks, you can turn salty fish over, and slaves become nobles!
If there is no gain in the battle, the whole family will do hard labor for ten years, and slowly go to atone for their sins.

This is the meaning of Qin Fa's question. Only when one person commits crimes and sits with relatives can he fear the law and obey the law!

In this way, after some treatment, the Qiang people of the leading party who were compiled as slaves, not only did not have any resentment, but were sincerely convinced.

Because they knew that if other Qiang people were to deal with it, they would count on the sins they committed when they were leading the way, and one would count as the other, and all would face crazy revenge.

Qin Mo was able to leave them a way out and open the door to make meritorious deeds and crimes, in their opinion, it was already a great mercy!

As for the other Qiang people, after learning of Qin Mo's treatment of the leading party, they were naturally unwilling, and they should kill them as many as possible to imitate others.

But despite being unwilling, all the Qiang people also understood that the Qin people regarded them as their own.

Otherwise, those Qiang people who led the way would not be enslaved.

Instead, just like those captured soldiers from the Western Regions, the wounded were directly beheaded to end the pain and built a Beijing temple, and the strong were castrated to become real slaves and labored to death.

This is how the Qin people treat their enemies!

……

……

Hexi Guoyang City, inside the palace of Hou Guo.

"You can't beat a group of young people, you really lived such a big age for nothing, let's record this whipping for now..."

Ying Zheng pointed at the old Wei Liao's nose and reprimanded him with a livid face.

Old Wei Liao's face was also ashen, he was scolded too harshly, if not for the persuasion of the officials, he would still have to be whipped at his age.

It's simply too difficult, isn't it just that he couldn't stop Qin Mo?
As for making such a big fire?

That's our Great Qin's military exploits. He went to the plateau with firearms. Could he still be defeated?

In the past few days, according to the military information uploaded from the plateau, Qin Mo fought with more than ten thousand elite Western Region coalition forces for the first time, and only sent [-] garrison forwards to attack with firearms, blowing up more than ten thousand Western Region coalition forces and annihilating them completely.

Qin Mo's [-] Hexi garrison soldiers, except for the non-combat attrition due to altitude sickness, almost did not lose a single soldier. On the contrary, they gathered tens of thousands of Qiang people, and after reorganization, they became five thousand five strong Qiang warriors.

If things go on like this, Qin Mo's subordinates will only fight more and more, and it is only a matter of time before the allied forces that are raging in the Western Regions are wiped out!
"I pass on the imperial edict, and the imperial driver will rest for three days, and then go to the plateau to support Qin Qing and wipe out the barbarians of the Western Regions!"

Ying Zheng bypassed the old Wei Liao, and then ordered solemnly.

The old Wei Liao, Meng Tian, ​​Li Si and other ministers looked up in astonishment, their faces full of bewilderment and disbelief.

Is this the matter of Baiyue Yujia's personal conquest going to be repeated?

But the battle on the plateau was not the battle of Baiyue, Qin Mo was not lost and wandered on the plateau alone, he was armed with three thousand warriors armed to the teeth, and even equipped with the most terrifying and sharp firearms in the world.

Why do you need the support of the Great Qin Shihuang's imperial driver?
"Your Majesty, the snow season on the plateau is coming, and the depth of the snow can reach several feet. It is almost impossible for humans and animals to travel. It is really not easy for you to go to the plateau~!"

After the old Wei Liao came back to his senses, he didn't care about being angry anymore, and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

But it's okay if he doesn't persuade, but this persuasion made Ying Zheng's complexion change suddenly: "It is difficult for humans and animals to travel, almost like a desperate situation... How can the firearms and fodder under Qin Qing's command be replenished now?"

The old Wei Liao probably didn't expect that the persuasion would have the opposite effect, so he had no choice but to raise his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin has horses under his command, and he has enough firearms and fodder, and he can even recruit from the Qiang people..."

Anger appeared in Yingzheng Danfeng's eyes, and he said coldly, "Food and fodder can be collected from the Qiang people, but what about firearms?"

"Firearms are consumables. Once used, they are gone. If the firearms are exhausted and there is no support, how can the three thousand soldiers under Qin Qing's command stop the tens of thousands of Western Region coalition forces, relying on those capricious Qiang people?"

The more he spoke, the faster he spoke, and his anxiety was like an angry lion: "I pass on the imperial edict, the imperial driver will no longer be repaired, and I will go to the plateau tomorrow!"

"In addition, the recruitment of more than [-] soldiers is to dig out the ice and snow by hand, but also to dig out a supply line for me!"

The old Wei Liao couldn't get in the way, so he was so dumbfounded, he blurted out: "If you work so hard and mobilize people to support Qin Xiang, the accumulation in Hexi will be exhausted, and the people will suffer..."

Ying Zheng waved his sleeve to interrupt the old Yuliao, and said beyond doubt: "Even if I die on the plateau, I will bring Qin Qing back~!"

This is really not surprising, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who accompanied him petrified on the spot, almost suspecting that he had auditory hallucinations.

Old Wei Liao opened his mouth, and there was an unstoppable jealousy in his heart.

If this son of Yingzheng has such kindness towards him, why should he retreat hastily after destroying the six kingdoms?Even if he died, he would die in the position of Great Qin Guowei!

Willing to die!

"Report! Good news~!"

"Plateau military news~!!!"

When the hall was silent, hoarse shouts suddenly sounded outside the hall.

When Ying Zheng heard the word Gao Yuan, Dan Feng's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Xuan come in!"

Leaning slightly, Yishi was wrapped in a sheepskin jacket and wearing tactical goggles, like a polar bear-like soldier, he rushed into the hall quickly.

The leader held up the cowhide tube and saluted Yingzheng on the steps: "The last general Xia Houying, pay my respects to Your Majesty, here is the good news from the plateau!"

Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward to take the cowhide canister, climbed up the steps and turned to Yingzheng.

Yingzheng opened the cowhide box in twos and couldn't wait to take out the military information to read. After a while, his anger disappeared and he smiled: "Good, Qin Qing really has a strange idea!"

As he said that, the general handed the news to Zhao Gao again, and motioned for Dian Wenwu to have a look.

The old Wei Liao was the first to watch, and the content of the victory report was very simple. It roughly outlined the capture of Chiyan Pass and occupied the gateway to the core area of ​​the plateau.

What really catches the eye are the two pictures after the good news, which are the sled car and the individual ski suit.

With these two snow artifacts, the ice and snow on the plateau will no longer be an obstacle to marching and transporting supplies, and it will even be smoother than usual!

"Such a subject, how can the king not love..."

The old Wei Liao sighed secretly, and handed the general's news to Meng Tian who was beside him eagerly.

……

……

Qin Mo occupies Chiyan Pass, waiting for the firearms supplies to arrive, and at the same time dispatches troops to enter the core area of ​​the plateau to gather the remaining Qiang tribes who are still resisting the coalition forces of the Western Regions.

At this time, there were more than [-] Qiang people in the auxiliary army under his command, and they were all capable and courageous.

This is adhering to the principle of Ning Que Wu Chao, in order to reduce the logistical pressure, the quantity has been carefully selected. If the restrictions are relaxed, there will be [-], and [-] can be enough...

In addition to more than [-] brave auxiliary troops, there are also more than [-] slave soldiers from the Leading Party, a total of about [-].

At the same time, the old Wei Liao who stayed behind in the Hexi Kingdom also recruited soldiers to use sleigh carts and sent a large amount of firearms and armor supplies.

However, the general who came to deliver the supplies was somewhat unexpected...Meng Tian!
