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

"However, as Liu Ji said, if Loulan's reinforcements are slaughtered, the entire Western Region will definitely be shocked...so it is essential to use them as babies. After defeating them, capture as many prisoners as possible, and then repair them immediately. A hollow Jingguan, let the remaining defeated soldiers spread fear to the entire Western Region~!"

Qin Mo turned around and said hesitantly.

The routine of the Mongols to conquer the world is still very effective. They use absolute ferocity to intimidate all enemies. Those who resist will be slaughtered, and those who surrender will live.

Coupled with absolute force, the first few slaughters will make people feel irresistible despair, and they will almost surrender later.

When necessary, Qin Mo doesn't mind Zhen Tu!

"Order, leave a garrison sharp soldier tomorrow, a thousand auxiliary troops, and three thousand slave troops to guard the Raoqiang City, guard the Raoqiang prisoners, and be responsible for receiving the follow-up Loulan reinforcements prisoners..."

"The rest of the army, with enough food, grass, supplies, armor and equipment, set out at dawn to attack the Western Regions~!"

Qin Mo glanced at the generals, and solemnly passed down the military order.

slam-la-

All the generals got up together, and amidst the sound of armor clinking, they bowed their hands and shouted: "Here~!!!"

……

……

The [-] Qin army and the Loulan reinforcements rushed in both directions. The original two-day march became a day for each side.

Moreover, since Loulan's reinforcements chose to continue marching and walked a day's journey first, the distance between the two sides was only half a day's journey.

After Qin Mo led the army to set off from Raoqiang City, he estimated that he might meet most of Loulan's reinforcements at noon, but the response of Loulan's reinforcements exceeded his expectations...

After the Loulan reinforcements knew that the Raoqiang tribe had been slaughtered, they had no plans to attack the Raoqiang City, which had fallen into the hands of the Qin army. They found a favorable terrain to occupy on the way, and stopped marching.

They just wanted to contain and prevent the Qin army from entering Loulan territory.

To some extent, this can be regarded as a limited change from passive to active, and the Qin army was still forced to attack under unfavorable terrain!

After Qin Mo learned about Loulan's reinforcements' defensive strategy from the sentry cavalry, he shook his head speechlessly, expressing that he would satisfy their wish.

Then, the order was sent to continue marching to the place where Loulan's reinforcements were firmly defended.

At sunset, one hundred thousand troops rushed to a large piece of brown sandstone, which is actually a big mountain, but it is not too prominent, and the mountain is gentle, with a river behind it.

The [-] to [-] Loulan reinforcements set up a huge and strong camp in this place with mountains and rivers!
After the Qin army arrived, the Loulan reinforcements were very nervous. The sound of ox horns rang through the continuous camp, and the walls of the village built of Populus euphratica logs were filled with Loulan soldiers with bows and spears in an instant.

"Uh, most of the generals of Loulan's reinforcements are like the leader of the Qiang tribe. They don't know how much money they are... With these old, weak, sick and disabled, they want to block us. I'm afraid they want to lose their minds! "

The former army Liu Ji looked at the Loulan soldiers on the wall with a binoculars in his hand, and couldn't help complaining to Zhang Liang beside him.

Loulan is regarded as a big country in the Western Regions today, but no matter how big it is, it can't stand the blood-drawn troops. The frontal battlefield and the plateau battlefield have already taken time out of Loulan's young and strong men, and there are very few soldiers left behind.

When Mengtian's 8 cavalry came, the King of Loulan had to recruit young men and old men to make up the number. There were even many strong women, and he managed to gather less than [-] men. Mo's army of more than one hundred thousand came again.

Therefore, King Loulan gave up participating in the encirclement and suppression of Mengtian, and sent another [-] miscellaneous troops, plus the troops from the Rao Qiang headquarters to guard a city, hoping to stop the Qin army...

"In my opinion, it's not that the generals of Loulan's reinforcements don't know what to do, but that they have to!"

Zhang Liang put down the binoculars and said with emotion.

Liu Ji was stunned, put down the binoculars, and asked, "Why?"

Zhang Liang didn't hold back, and immediately explained to him: "My lord's strategy of massacring the city and intimidating finally worked."

"If they retreat, most of these old and weak troops will collapse without fighting, and flee back with their families, hiding as far as they can."

"On the contrary, now that they are fighting to the death, for the home behind them, even these old and weak troops will burst out with unimaginable fighting power."

"This is a very simple choice, and it would be the same for me!"

Liu Ji suddenly nodded, pulled his bearded beard and sighed: "It's respectable for a good man to protect his homeland... However, he is a little over his own strength. If it were me, I wouldn't retreat. Families and relatives, let’s hide far away together, hide further west, lay down a piece of land, and rebuild the country.”

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Your idea sounds familiar~!"

Liu Ji was stupefied by his smile, but he quickly realized that his own thinking was exactly what the old families of the Six Kingdoms did back then?

Went to the land of Baiyue to restore and rebuild the country.

But in the end, Daqin conquered Baiyue, and the old clans of the Six Kingdoms were also taken over. Xiang Yu, who was left with only one arm, fled without a trace...

In the same way, Daqin's ambition is far more than the Western Regions. Even if the countries in the Western Regions flee further west, the final outcome is already doomed and will not change much!
thump—

dong dong——

dong dong dong-

At this moment, the sound of drums to urge the formation suddenly resounded through the sky.

Liu Ji and Zhang Liang turned their heads and saw the guards of the Chinese army galloping towards them holding the order flag, shouting loudly all the way: "The lord has an order, attack the stronghold immediately, break it before dark... attack the stronghold immediately , break it before dark..."

Obviously, Qin Mo already knew the situation of Lou Lan's reinforcements, so he didn't plan to waste any more time, and he didn't even bother to persuade him to surrender.

choke-

Liu Ji cheered up, drew out his saber and shouted: "Your lords, form the siege formation, Nai Weng will lead you to earn military merits~!!!"

……

Can courage and a will to defend the homeland stop long-range firearms?
the answer is negative!

Don’t you see, in the Battle of Baliqiao in the late Qing Dynasty, the Chinese men who defended their homes and the country were brave, but the results are well known...

The dimensionality reduction blow of civilization does not depend on personal will!
The Qin army used unconscionable cannons to set fire, and blasted sections of the wall, and then the vast Qiang slave army, carrying individual thunderbolt bullets, rode donkeys, mules, war horses, and camels captured in the Qiang tribe... Entering the gaps one by one, seven to eighty thousand old and weak soldiers were routed, almost powerless to fight back.

When the Qiang slave army found that they had already penetrated the enemy camp, the next step was to capture the prisoners!

The camp was broken before dark, but the prisoners were caught until late at night!
Then, a large hollow Jingguan was also built with the corpses of the Loulan soldiers who died in battle. Shout out...

Then, they got a simple and small amount of food, and they were put under surveillance.

"Qin Jun won't...don't slaughter us all?"

"Nonsense, of course we don't slaughter, otherwise why waste food on us..."

"Thank you Ahura for your blessing, and thank you two saintesses for your blessings. It really is the God's Chosen country that the saints said, and the Qin army is not that cruel at all~!"

More than 3 Loulan prisoners who thought they were going to die, were put under centralized watch, and finally recovered from their despair, realizing that they would not be slaughtered at all, and that the Qin army was threatening people.

However, they survived the catastrophe, out of luck, or self-deception, they obviously thought of Qin Jun too kindly.

Qin Jun didn't slaughter them, he just wanted to squeeze out the last trace of their value...

……

The next day, the army rested for half a day, and did not break out of camp until noon.

The more than 3 Loulan captives were escorted back to Raoqiang City by a school of [-] auxiliary cavalry, and after handing them over to the defenders, they were chasing the large troops.

Well, now under Qin Mo's command, apart from more than two thousand garrison soldiers and more than a thousand Qiang cavalry serving as sentinel cavalry, there is also an established third-rate cavalry, a total of five thousand.

The mounts were captured from the Rao and Qiang tribe, and the [-] Loulan miscellaneous army, donkeys, mules, war horses, camels, and even more robust steers...

The [-]-strong army marched forty miles a day, and after leaving the pasture boundary of the Yaoqiang tribe, they encountered the first real Loulanjian city.

The scale of the city is already comparable to Daqin County, and there is also a wide moat that drains from the Kongque River.

However, a large number of remnant soldiers and defeated generals who escaped from the territory of the Rao and Qiang tribes gathered in this city. The deeds of the Qin army had already slaughtered the Rao and Qiang tribes.

The news of Qin Jun's killing came back, and the soldiers and civilians didn't even see Qin Jun's shadow, so they began to flee for their lives with their families.

The most active ones are none other than the nobles. While ordering the garrison, gathering the remnants of the defeated generals to defend them, while cleaning up their belongings, they are the first to lead the soldiers out of the city...

In this way, the result can be imagined, the whole city escaped, inevitably happened!
When Qin Mo led the army to arrive, they found only an empty city with four gates open and burning everywhere. The slave army entered the city to search, and only saw some greedy street thieves searching for valuables all over the city.

This scene made Qin Mo very satisfied. The method of massacring the city and intimidating finally worked!
The army entered the city, extinguished the fires everywhere, slept in the city for a warm sleep, demolished a section of the city wall the next day, and continued to march.

After that, similar things continued. Every time the Qin army arrived at a place, people must go to the empty city, so that the [-] army, without a single soldier being damaged along the way, "frightened" two small countries in the Western Regions, and In most of the cities of Loulan Kingdom, the soldiers and civilians all fled.

However, everything is not always smooth sailing!
Some nobles were afraid of being slaughtered, so they abandoned their family's territory and fled the city, while some nobles swore to the death to guard the territory passed down from their ancestors.

Qin dog wants to slaughter my city?
Then we have to be able to break the city!

Moreover, there is a saying that things of a kind flock together and people are divided into groups. When some nobles stood up and said that they would swear to resist Qin Gou to the death, many nobles who were unwilling to flee their homes, as well as soldiers and civilians, joined them one after another.

Those who have money will contribute money, and those who have no money will contribute people. In short, they will work together to fight Qin Jun to the end!

Then there are the kings of the neighboring countries. When they learned that Loulan was about to be wiped out by Qin Mo's [-] troops, they all began to scrape land and support Loulan regardless of the consequences.

As long as it can be made into armor and can fill the stomach, whether it is a bronze vessel that symbolizes power, or a grain reserved for seeds, or a calf that has not grown up, it will support Loulan...

This is not because of how strong and unbreakable their alliance is, but because they understand the truth that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold.

If Loulan is destroyed, their country will be next.

Moreover, the 10,000+ elites of the Western Regions who had already run out of food and supplies on the front line were completely finished by making dumplings. At that time, the real main force of the Qin army entered the empty Western Regions. One of the kings of the kingdoms counted as one, and he was considered lucky if he escaped. of……

Therefore, they supported Loulan, which can be said to be a disaster for destroying the family!
King Loulan, of course, transferred all the support he received to the aristocratic territory that dared to defend to the death, and sent the crown prince to boost the morale of the army and the people.

……

However, Qin Mo was very indifferent after receiving the information that the city in front was aggressively strengthening the city defense, and that a large number of reinforcements, as well as food, armor and weapons, were entering the city.

He had long expected this. After all, everything has two sides. The method of massacre and intimidation will either lead to surrender, or a similar desperate defense.

Now that the army has relied on the method of slaughtering the city and intimidating, it has easily frightened the collapse of the two countries, and it has also frightened half of Loulan. It will soon be able to join up with Meng Tian, ​​who is fighting guerrillas to cut off the food road in the Lop Nur area.

In Loulan, a big country in the Western Regions, with only two cities left, it is reasonable for some nobles to choose to be tough!

"This place is the last barrier of the Loulan King City. It is called Shanshan City. It was originally a country. In recent years, countries in the Western Regions have merged with each other. Shanshan lost to Loulan. Since then, it has surrendered to the King and was granted the title of nobleman."

"Actually, to be honest, it wasn't just the two countries that were scared to death by the Qin army. Most of the Loulan cities that were also scared to death were once independent countries in the Western Regions..."

Under the flag of the Chinese Army, Toriti pointed to the city in the distance with his shackled hands, and introduced Qin Mo and Lu Xiaomei, as well as Danshu and Zidu, with eloquence.

Qin Mo nodded as he listened, pulled his feet out of the stirrups, stood directly on the back of the sweaty white horse that was slowly advancing, and looked at Shanshan City with a binoculars.

The scale of Shanshan City is no less than that of Daqin's prefectural city, and it can be said that the city is high and deep.

Moreover, it seems that in order to prevent firearms from attacking the city, internal fortifications have also been built between the moat and the city wall.

There are actually only a few tricks to deal with firearms attacking the city. It is not uncommon for the city master and Tori to come together...

After watching it for a while, Qin Mo sat back on the horse again, then took a rod of iron beryllium from the hand of his personal guard, and poked it hard on the ground.

puff--

He had great strength, with this stab, the blade of the iron beryllium, which resembled a dagger, went straight into the ground, causing Tuo Liti, who was next to him, to twitch in shock.

As the sweaty white horse advanced, Qin Mo also pulled out the iron beryllium abruptly, and the soil was carried away, forming a small and deep hole, and a little soil was also carried on the tip of the blade.

"Fill it in, don't let the animal mounts behind step in and sprain their hooves..."

Qin Mo gave instructions to the guards behind him, and then put the soil sticking to the blade head to watch carefully before his eyes, and said after a long while, "This city can be destroyed within ten days~!"
