Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1069

Chapter 1079
"But this city will soon be deserted!" Niu Zijie said, "What's the use of me, Da Wei, in a city without people?"

"How can there be no one?" Ye Xian said: "This is a commercial hub, here is rich in products, and there is inexhaustible wealth here, because of the wealth, there are always people coming here to pan for gold. It will fill up the city, you can rest assured that without a hundred thousand, Taluosi City will become a metropolis with hundreds of thousands of people."

In fact, this is the westward strategy that Ran Ming has formulated long ago. If you follow it, you will prosper;Any invasion in history was bloody, despicable, and ruthless. However, Xia and Shang China were only a small area of ​​the Yellow River Basin, and the Qin Dynasty only expanded to Lingnan and Bashu.In the Han Dynasty, it expanded to the Western Regions.At this time, Ran Ming needs to expand and leave more imprints of Chinese people. Now he can't wait to brand Wei's great imprint on every stone, every war horse, and even every rabbit in the world.

Regarding popular support, Cheng Zhi only wanted to say one thing: Whoever kills many people, who can scare the people so that they dare not resist, will win the support of the public.Mongols slaughtered 6000 million to 8000 million Han people, and finally conquered the Song Dynasty, the first time to completely conquer the Han people. The Qing Dynasty told us this bloody fact with the lives of 4000 million (historically available) Han people, the iron-like fact .It is also a fact that Japan used the lives of 500 million people to rule most of China, and traitors are everywhere.If the mind is bright, then the light will not perish.Justice only exists within the range of the cannon, and the hearts of the people are also only determined by the butcher's knife.

For the sake of expansion and the rise of the Great Wei, stepping on the bones of other nations is the only way. The so-called peaceful rise is simply nonsense.No one is willing to find a father for themselves, no one is willing to be a slave to others, of course, after the slaughter, the bloody slaughter, it becomes a matter of course.

Just after Ye Xian completely conquered the Stone Kingdom, he began to cross the Taluosi River and advance westward.On August [-]th, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, they captured Red Deer City (located near Bairam Ali City in Turkmenistan). After capturing Red Deer, Ye Xian's army did not stop, but continued westward.But at this time, the decisive battle between the Heda Empire on the southern line and the Great Wei Empire is also coming.

Of the three theaters in the east, west, and south of the Heda Empire, the western theater is actually the most powerful in terms of combat power.This is mainly because the westward expansion of the Heda Empire faced the Sasanian Empire, the successor of the Parthian Empire.The Sassanian Empire and the Roman Empire coexisted for more than [-] years, and it was not until the Arab Empire invaded that they perished.

At this time, the emperor of the Sasanian Empire was Ardashir II, who was a vassal of Aditya Pona before he became emperor.A statue of him is preserved today in the village of Tagbostan in Bakhtaran Province in western Iran.Of course, those who can successfully seize the throne with the vassal king's army are not mediocre.In Chinese history, sons killed their fathers to become emperor, and many brothers killed each other. However, the only one who rebelled as a vassal king and finally took over the world and succeeded was Zhu Di, the ancestor of Chengzu.It is actually no less difficult to become emperor as a vassal rebellion than founding a country.

In fact, Adashir II is also such a person. He has always followed the example of the great emperor Constantine I of the Roman Empire since he was a child. After adulthood, Adashir is also the same as Constantine I, with the same governance and diplomatic skills. Strong and powerful, and all opportunists.Ardashir II and Constantine I also pursued a policy of religious tolerance, and religious minorities could gain greater freedom. Ardashir II stopped the persecution of Christians in the past, and even the nobles and Priests punish.The Sassanid Dynasty seemed relatively peaceful during his reign, but he won more and more defeats in the war with Rome, and he fought Jovian to sign a peace treaty.Regarding the Heda Empire, although Ardasil II had no obvious victories, he stubbornly resisted the continuous expansion of the Heda Empire.

In the duel between the Heda Empire and the Sassanid Empire, it is clear that Urdu, its western general, is also a good general.In fact, Heda's strategy has always been to focus on the West and despise the East. Urdu was very satisfied with the Eastern Expedition, but when Wei's army approached him, he was not worried. He believed that the soldiers and horses in the western theater were the He The core strength of the empire.

On August [-], the army of Wei Guoan's Southwest Front Detachment began to appear on the east bank of the Heli River.At this time, Liu Ke concentrated almost all the strength of the Annan Front Corps.Although it belongs to the Southern Front Corps, there are only more than [-] troops in the Wei State Army.But Liu Ke has absorbed a large number of non-Chinese soldiers in the army.Especially the soldiers of the Modao Army. In comparison, the Hus from Central Asian countries are more qualified than the Han people in the Modao Army in terms of physique.Armor weighing more than fifty catties is already too heavy for Han soldiers.The equipment of nearly a hundred catties all over the body made it very difficult for the small and weak Han soldiers.

But for the Hu people of Central Asian countries, a hundred catties of equipment is not a big deal, and the height of eight feet is already a giant among the Han people, but among the heights of the Hu people of Central Asian countries, eight feet is just an ordinary height.Picking out a nine-foot-tall man, Liu Ke can easily pull out a reinforced group.

Liu Ke selected more than [-] Hu soldiers from the servant armies of various countries, and issued them certificates of Wei Guoyi nationality to win the hearts of Hu soldiers.In this way, after being repaired by the artisans accompanying the army and the spare Modao army equipment shipped in, the Modao army came back to life and restored the eight thousand formation.However, due to too many broken Modao, and the spare Modao that was transported later, it was still not enough.Liu Ke ordered people to collect a large number of battle axes, thus forming a heavy infantry with Mo Dao and battle axes as the main equipment.During the march, Liu Ke ordered the soldiers of the Modao Army to train the new Hu soldiers with the old and the new, so that the strength of the Modao Army was quickly restored.

In addition to the Modao Army, Liu Ke also rode the Major General of the 44th Division to select Hu soldiers from the servant army and surrendered army to restore the [-]th Division of the Anxi Army.As for the [-]th Infantry Division, which has been almost completely wiped out, the organizational system has also been restored.It's just that Liu Ke didn't place Hu soldiers in the army, but ordered the wounded soldiers to return to the army, and finally set up the [-]th Division.The Southern Front Corps has a total of [-] Infantry Divisions (only one infantry regiment), [-] Infantry Divisions, [-]th Cavalry Divisions, and Modao Army.The whole army has a total of more than [-] people, including more than [-] Chinese soldiers.

In addition, there are more than 26 Lida soldiers from the Zhenwei Army, and the servant army has been organized into 5000 battalions of [-] people.

On August [-]th, Ozana Heyab took Urdu and Patirobal across the river to see the enemy's situation.A cursory look shows that there are basically nearly [-] enemy troops gathered outside the city, and most of them are infantry, and only a small part is composed of cavalry.

After watching it, everyone gasped. They thought to themselves, no wonder the army of Wei State was able to devour tens of thousands of miles, annihilate dozens of countries, and beat the Heda Empire to lose most of its territory. The momentum of Wei State's army is indeed very fierce, and they His generals are also very tough, no one can deny this.

Although Urdu thinks that the soldiers in the western theater of the Heda Empire are the strongest soldiers in the world, but after looking at the army of Wei State, he is still not sure that he can defeat this army in the wild with the same strength. The army of Wei State.

Patirobal said: "It's no wonder that the Great Wei Empire now engulfs thousands of miles like a tiger, and has defeated the Gupta Empire one after another. Now I finally know why the Gupta Empire died and did not send reinforcements to the north. According to the accounts of the Gupta Empire prisoners, the Great Wei Empire was The south of the Gupta Empire has more than [-] troops, and hundreds of thousands of Gupta Empire troops have been wiped out, and the Gupta Empire's Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh have been occupied."

All the generals of the Heda Empire exclaimed when they heard this, and Ezhanahe Yabu frowned when he saw this, thought for a while and smiled: "You all think too highly of Wei's army, although they are powerful, but The warriors of our Heda Empire are not intimidated. Most of them are infantry, even if we lose, we can ride on horseback, they can't catch up with us with just two legs!"

Hearing this, General Heda thought the same thing to himself. Cavalry always fight if they win, and run away if they don't win. No one will laugh at anyone.But Urdu said: "Khan, it seems that our plan needs to be changed. If a decisive battle is fought on the east bank of the Heli River, if the battle is unfavorable, we may lose room for detours. Why don't we retreat to the west bank of the Heli River, Let them cross the river to attack, as long as their Wei army crosses the river, we will attack their vanguard, once the vanguard loses, the Wei army will definitely lose ground and become a mess, our chance will come!"

Upon hearing this, Ezhanahe Yabu nodded and said, "Urdu's words are reasonable, let's retreat to the west bank of the Heli River!"

Ozanakh Yabu had lingering fears about the Battle of the Syr Darya.At the beginning, it was because of the pontoon bridge problem that the Syr Darya was difficult to cross. As a result, tens of thousands of troops could not escape.

On August 4798, [-] in the Yellow Emperor era, Liu Ke suddenly received a report from scouts and found that the Heda army had retreated without a trace overnight.The pontoon bridge originally built by the Heda people was also demolished by the Heda people.Liu Ke smiled at Zhao Xun: "I think this Xie Da is stupid enough! He still wants to attack our army halfway!"

Zhao Xun said: "What does the general mean?"

"Just plan!" Liu Ke said: "This time our army will surely win!"

"How do you know?" Zhao Xun asked in confusion.

"The Heda people are good at cavalry! But now they avoid fighting, which shows that the Heda people are already afraid of our army!" Liu Ke said: "Being timid before fighting, is there any reason to be invincible?"

The Heli River is also translated as the Hari River, but the earliest name was the Jielu River. Because it is located in a desert area, there are few tributaries and the river is short of water.It was not difficult for Wei Jun to cross the river.Each infantry division in Wei State has an engineer battalion.Of course, the engineer battalion under this division is obviously different from the engineer battalion directly under the battalion.With the cooperation of thousands of soldiers, these professional engineers built five semi-permanent wooden bridges on the Heli River in just one day and one night.In order to verify the strength of the wooden bridge, the engineer battalion actually let several carriages walk back and forth on the bridge.

With the completion of the construction of the wooden bridge, Liu Ke ordered [-] horsemen from the Western Regions as the vanguard to cross the river first.Liu Ke knew that the shepherds from the Western Regions crossing the river would definitely be ambushed by the Heda army.

However, when more than 21 shepherds from various countries in the Western Regions successfully crossed the river, they were not attacked by ambushes. Liu Ke doubted his own judgment. When Ke Shi, Liu Ke smiled leisurely.He then ordered two battalions of the servants to cross the river, so that by noon on the 3st, the army crossing the Heli River had exceeded [-] horses.

"General, shall we attack?"

Wu Erdu said: "At this time, all the cannon fodder of the Wei army came here. No matter how much such an enemy eats, it will not hurt the Wei army at all!"

"What does the general mean?"

"Wait, keep waiting!" Urdu said with a sarcasm smile on his face, "We will attack only when the Wei army is able to cross the river!"

When more than [-] cavalry arrived on the opposite bank, they began to establish defensive positions, digging trenches for those who dug trenches, and those who set up refusal horses set up refusal horses.

At this time, Urdu couldn't wait any longer. As the Wei army camped longer, the defensive strength of the Wei army forwards on the west bank was increasing at an extremely fast rate.

"It's sad that the Wei army doesn't care about the life and death of these cannon fodder?"

Urdu said: "I will lead [-] elite cavalry to attack, and Khan will lead other troops and Patty Robal to lead the army as backup!"

Urdu raised his scimitar and shouted, "Come on!"

There seemed to be a tacit understanding on the battlefield. In order to increase the success rate of this ambush opportunity, Urdu led the ambush in the woods, more than 500 steps away from the river bank.However, the distance of more than 500 steps did not leave time for Wei Guo's servants to prepare.What's more, in order to lure the Heda Empire army to attack, Liu Ke has not sent anyone to tell those servants that the Heda Empire has already ambushed.

Urdu originally thought that these traitors wanted in Central Asia didn't even have the courage to face the army of the Heda Empire squarely.However, under the haste at this time, the phenomenon that made Ur thought it would collapse at the first touch did not appear.These reckless cavalry actually launched a counter-charge against these ambush soldiers

Qi Bi, the Zhongshun General of the Anxi Army of the State of Wei, was a Tiele native, and he was also the first general of all the servants in Anxi to join the State of Wei.Since taking refuge in Wei State, Qi Bi has not continued to play the role of a fence, and can be regarded as dedicated to the country.With the expansion of the size of the Anxi Army's servants, Qibi has also risen with the tide. At this time, he has already ranked as the fourth-rank military general loyal and obedient.In the military system of the Wei State, the fourth-rank military rank is already a high-ranking general, which is equivalent to the rank of a major general in the regular army.

Qi Bi became the commander of two battalions of herders and four battalions of servants in the Western Regions, a total of [-] troops.Qi Bi is a very motivated general. After he defected to Wei State, he quickly discovered the difference in Wei State's army.First of all, every soldier of the Wei Army has his own military title field, military merit field, and military shirt field for soldiers who died in battle. Every soldier can get his military salary on time.To become a general of the regular army of the Wei State is the greatest wish of every surrendered general.Originally, Qibi had already given up, because he was from Tiele, not Han.However, with too many dead soldiers in the Modao Army and the Eighteenth Cavalry Division, it was impossible to maintain their combat effectiveness. Liu Ke selected some soldiers of the Hu nationality with outstanding military exploits from the various servant armies and asked them to join the Modao Army, the Eighteenth Cavalry Division and the others. in each army.These newly joined Hu soldiers will have a three-month inspection period. As long as they do not violate military discipline during these three months and conduct training and combat in accordance with military regulations, they will be converted into formal soldiers and enjoy all the benefits of the regular army of the Wei State Army. treatment.

After this change, nearly [-] Hu soldiers joined the Southwest Anxi Front Corps, and it also gave the soldiers of the helpless army a hope of struggle.Qi Bi looked at the swarming Heda cavalry, and said to the Zhongshun army general beside him: "In the past, we were all very miserable, especially you people, who used to be the slaves of the Heda people. If you are willing to be slaves, you can run away. Those who want to be promoted and get rich, and those who want to be the best, come with me!"

Qi Bi didn't take into account the feelings of other Zhongshun soldiers, and directly led the soldiers directly under him to rush towards the formation of more than [-] cavalry.

On the battlefield, the morale of the offensive and defensive sides often increases and decreases with each other. If the morale of the enemy is found to be high.One's own soldiers may also become suspicious because of this.Liu Ke originally thought that the [-] servants under Qibi's command alone could not even defeat the [-] elite cavalry, and even [-] cavalry might defeat the [-] servants in one blow.

However, what Liu Ke didn't expect was that Qi Bi would fight to the death in order to get the chance to become a Wei citizen.Qi Bi led more than 300 personal guard cavalry, and rushed towards the formation of more than [-] Lida cavalry.At this time, it is no longer considered a surprise attack, it can only be regarded as a frontal charge.

The three hundred relatives under Qibi's command are basically Tiele people, and they are equipped with Mingguang armor of the Wei State standard.It's just that they are not equipped with cavalry-style grenades and crossbows.But despite this, such equipment is relatively sophisticated equipment in Central Asia.The Heda cavalry on the opposite side are the most elite troops in the western theater of the Heda Empire.

As for the tightness of the organization, it is no longer inferior to the Wei army, especially the Heda cavalry has one of the greatest strengths, that is, a group of desperate guys!Following Qi Bi, he led his personal guards to the battle.

Zhongshun Military Academy Lieutenant Yi Suli said: "Everyone, General Qi Bi has already charged, what shall we do?"

Wu Nasi, the captain of Wu Dan, said: "It is absolutely impossible to escape. We abandon General Qibi and flee. General Liu will never let us go!"

"Anyway, it's dead anyway. It's better to fight. The Wei army is on the east bank of the Heli River. They can arrive here in half an hour at most. We also have [-] soldiers and horses. Why don't we fight with them, as long as we persist for half an hour At the right time, the Heda people will be defeated!"

"Fight, fight!" Several other captains also echoed loudly.You must know that the military law of Wei State is very strict, as long as you are afraid of the enemy and fight cowardly, you will definitely be killed.Because in the battle, there are no longer a few servants who were beheaded.But what makes the servants feel more at ease is that Wei Jun will never give up on anyone.As long as the injury is caused by the Wei State, the Wei State medical officers will try their best to treat them. If they are killed in battle, the rewards should be distributed to the family members.

"Kill!" Most of the soldiers of the Zhongshun Army could not speak Chinese, but this time they roared and uttered Chinese neatly.Qi Bi had already made up his mind, who would have thought that when he led his personal guards to attack for a moment, the Zhongshun Army's two shepherd camps from Western Regions and four servant camps from Central Asian countries, a total of [-] soldiers, would divide into six arrows and attack The cavalry rushed forward.
