Qiang Qin

Qin and Xiong confronted each other for the third time.

The direct opponents are: Li Zhongxiang, Luo Jia vs He Lianbi.

No matter from which aspect, the importance of this third battle is no longer a matter of death and death for the powerful Qin State.

The Qin armies from all walks of the Western Expedition are continuously advancing westward along the Silk Road. The city-states of the Western Regions along the way have opened their gates to welcome the powerful neighbors from the East with the most respectful attitude.

The Xiongnu were defeated by the Qin State and the Allied Forces of the Western Regions in Tianchi. The new commander, Yu Helianbi, was discredited. He led only [-] cronies and followers all the way west, escaped from Wusun and Daxia, and entered Anxi. Only then did the inside begin to relax.Luo Jia's army pursued fiercely all the way. If Anxi's army hadn't appeared on the border, the vanguard Cao Xin might have chased and killed He Lianbi to the end of the west.

This is the only battle.

Qin's prestige in Central Asia suddenly rose. The tribes of Wusun and Daxia, who were destroyed by the Huns, were very grateful for the arrival of the Qin army. The slave who escaped with his life in the Battle of Tianchi was lucky. They lost all their money, and their only hope for life was to reopen the Silk Road, which would bring a lot of money.

Under such a mentality, the speed of dissemination and promotion of Tianshidao, a sect from the East, in Central Asia was astonishingly fast, and Zhang Liang, a great celestial master, also appeared in due course following the steps of the Qin army's westward expedition. Every lecture has benefited the Taoists a lot, and they have more admiration for the oriental civilization.

The first day of June.

Li Yuan's army entered the Aral Sea, and merged the Aral Sea Basin where Wusun and Daxia belonged to into Yili County, which became the No. 30 counties of the Qin State.

At the same time, the confrontation between the Anxi army and the Qin army on the border began to be broken. Affected by the incitement of the Bank of China and the influence of Wusun and Daxia's destruction of the country, the Anxi king united the three kingdoms that belonged to Persia in the west. , four small countries, plus Helianbi's remnant soldiers and defeated generals, formed a huge coalition army with a scale of more than 25.Prepare to deal with the Qin army's western expedition.

25 million.

This number is the most powerful military force that has appeared in Central Asia after the Persian Empire and the Macedonian Empire. If there is a wise and decisive commander with military skills, it may really be able to stop the Qin army. Elite figures who do not fall into this category.

Seven days.

The 15 main force of the Qin army, together with about [-] Wusun and Daxia auxiliary soldiers, launched an attack on Anxi. The two sides fought successively in the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus. Showed a rare tenacity and tenacity.But it is a pity that Qin Jun's technical advantage is too great.

Hong Tianlei appeared in the Battle of Zhengxi.

Tall carts, moving wooden archery towers, and desperate infantry in heavy armor. These new weapons appeared on the battlefield without interruption, making the Parthians and Persians who were still in the Bronze Age , The Seleucids felt extremely desperate and at a loss.

After more than ten days of fierce fighting, the Anxi army retreated to the front line of the Caspian Sea, and lost more than [-] strong soldiers.

"The people of Qin are not humans, they are gods, and they are messengers sent by the gods!" Just when the Anxi soldiers were suspicious, Tianshi Dao came with a spiritual force that made people unable to resist.When the poor Anxi people are suffering from the inherent inequality, Tianshidao rouses the resentment they have deposited in their hearts.

Rest in peace from internal and external troubles.

The outside was invaded by a strong enemy, and the battle was defeated, and many cities inside were occupied by the rebels.In just one month, the once powerful Parthian Kingdom was facing the dilemma of breaking up the country. At the beginning of July, Zhongxing Shuo, who had always been trusted by the Parthian King, led more than [-] troops and fled further west with the Huns.The Anxi army, which had lost the support of its allies, was suddenly in a state of turmoil. In desperation, the Anxi king had no choice but to shrink the remaining [-] remnants into Fandou City and stick to it.

However.In front of the Qin army who possessed the gunpowder weapon of Thunderbolt, the defensive advantage of the bluestone city wall no longer existed. Even King Anxi had no confidence in Fandou City being able to defend it for a few days.

July [-]th.

Fandou City, which had been besieged for half a month, was breached by the Qin army, and King Anxi was defeated for [-] years. The entire city was turned into ruins under the explosive power of the Qin army's thunder.

Anxi was destroyed by the Qin army.

August.

The remnants of the Huns swept across the Anatolian Peninsula, crossed the Eurasian Strait, and continued to attack the place occupied by the Thracians on the opposite side.

On the one hand, the Huns were chased by the Qin army and fled around, on the other hand, they enjoyed the thrill of conquering the West. In this alternation of pain and happiness, they obtained territory, money, and gold coins from the Westerners, and then transferred them to the West in a blink of an eye. They handed over to Qin Jun who was chasing after him closely.

At any rate, the Parthians managed to make a fuss, but the Seleucid Kingdom was completely destroyed. This short-lived kingdom established by the generals of Alexander the Great of Macedonia had an unstable foundation. After the charge, it was immediately fragmented and the country fell apart.

——.

Great Qin marched westward.

Continuously defeated Anxi, a powerful country in Central Asia and the Middle East, and drove the Huns like a group of beggars everywhere, and what is even more confusing is that although the "yellow peril" of the Huns could not beat the Qin army, they were fighting against the Qin army. In the confrontation between the so-called powerful countries in Central Asia and the Middle East, such as Persia and Seleucid, they have repeatedly won.

The Seleucids had the deepest experience in this yellow peril. They occupied the Anatolian Peninsula where the Persian Empire was originally located. They were beaten by the Huns of Helianbi, and they almost lost their foothold on the Asian continent. nothing.

This abnormal military situation was spread back to the eastern Mediterranean coast by some merchants and intercroppers from the west, which shocked Sippies, the consul of the Roman Republic who had already extended his sphere of influence to the eastern Mediterranean coast.

Around the Mediterranean Sea, there are many countries established by the ancient Greeks, ancient Egyptians, Carthaginians, Macedonians, Gauls, and Romans. These countries have risen and fallen with each other in the long course of history, and sometimes you appear on the scene , and sometimes another country ascends to the most powerful position.

The period from 200 BC to 200 AD was the most glorious and proud era for the Romans. They came out of the Apennine Peninsula, gradually conquered Gaul, Macedonia, Carthage and other powerful countries, and began to transfer The sphere of influence touches the Greek peninsula.

In terms of the historical status of the consul, although the ability and achievements of Sibbes the Younger cannot be compared with Caesar and Octavian, who created the empire single-handedly, but at this moment, they have just defeated the Han Dynasty in the third Punic War. The Roman consul, Nibal's old rival, was in high spirits.

After the Romans defeated Carthage again, the great commander Hannibal was abandoned by the nobles of Carthage, so he could only retreat to Perry, a small town on the north coast of Africa, and the strategic goal of Sibbes also moved eastward. When it comes to occupying the two ancient civilizations of Greece and Egypt.

The Qin people from the far east suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the Roman Empire, which was a huge threat.

City of Rome.

In the round arena.

A cruel slaughter between slaves and slaves is taking place, gladiatorial slaves.Generally served by slaves and prisoners of war, this extremely cruel bloody slaughter between people is the favorite entertainment program of Roman nobles in this era.Obviously, the great figures in Rome at this time would not have imagined that after another 100 years, among the gladiator slaves, there would be a hero who terrified them—Spartacus.

The famous Roman general Scipio and his mistresses were enjoying the show in the magnificent box, but his expression was a bit unsightly.

During the more than [-] years of war between Rome and Carthage, the battle of wits and courage between Scipio and Hannibal is a rare classic in Western military history.Fabian's delaying tactics prevented Hannibal from defeating the Romans in one go when he was the strongest, which gave Sibia a chance to counterattack with revenge.

In Rome, as the Carthaginians had become twilight, the struggle for the actual power of the Senate between Scipio and Fabian, between the young new forces and the conservative forces, gradually began to heat up.

Fabian did not want to give up the position of consul, but the real power of the army was controlled by Sibia and his allies. If the Roman army continued to win, Fabian, a consul without military power, would one day be defeated by Sibia and his allies. Biah replaced him, and in history, after Sibia successfully conquered Egypt, Fabian had to give up the position of consul.

The Qin army invaded west.

Fabian found a way to deal with Sibia. Yesterday, the Senate led by him formally made a resolution, deciding to send an army of 5 people to assist the Greeks in resisting the aggression of the barbarians from the East.

The person appointed as the commander of this Roman army was Scipio who had just defeated Hannibal in the Battle of Zama. Fabian’s purpose was very clear. Sibia threatened his status, and on the other hand, it also allowed the famous Roman general to stabilize the Allies in the East.

However, Sibiah felt a little confused and unfamiliar with the new enemy that appeared in the east. How could the Qin country in the east, the country that produces silk, travel thousands of miles to the Mediterranean Sea? This expeditionary Qin army, Aren't you afraid of failure, not afraid of dying in a foreign land, and your bones can't even return home?

What did the generals of the Qin army think?

Sibiah had no way of knowing, and it was impossible for him to guess that behind Qin's army, there was another road-building army of about 20 people.

Among them, there were prisoners of war from Anxi, Huns, Persia and other countries, criminals from Qin, and many auxiliary soldiers conscripted from various counties.These people followed the Qin army all the way, extending the passage of the Silk Road westward until the end of the sea.
