Many people would not have thought that this seemingly random move by the Holy Emperor Hu Hai would actually create the Royal Newspaper Academy that would become the mouthpiece of the entire Da Qin in the future.
And at this moment, these Royal College students who are accepting Hu Hai¡¯s earnest teachings naturally never thought that there would be such a day in this college. At this moment, they were excited to have such close contact with His Majesty the Holy Emperor of Qin, and they were daydreaming about the report that His Majesty the Holy Emperor spoke of to criticize the current ills.
¡¡¡¡
The Western Region County of Da Qin, Sheche City.
After sacrificing the flag and swearing an oath three days ago, the Pingyi general Li Xin led the Great Qin Pingyi Army's 80,000 cavalry and 20,000 White Tiger Army infantry as the first legion of the Great Qin's Western Expedition. They left Sheche City and crossed the Holy Pass of the Kunlun Mountains to enter Pa Mir Plateau, officially entering Central Asia.
At the same time, Du Teng, the chief general of the White Tiger Army, left 10,000 Pingyi Army cavalry to garrison Yarkand City, and personally commanded the 30,000 White Tiger Army infantry and 10,000 Pingyi Army cavalry still stationed in Yarkand City to set off. out,
The direction in which Du Teng's 40,000-strong army was marching was surprisingly exactly the three small towns of the Kingdom of Oiya, which were only a hundred miles away from Shache City and located in the basin at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.
The official from the Ministry of Etiquette who delivered Hu Hai¡¯s letter to Iya has returned a long time ago. Three days, this is the last deadline given by Hu Hai to Iya. If Eya had not chosen to join Great Qin, what would have greeted the Kingdom of Eya would have been a devastating blow from Great Qin.
It is impossible for Hu Hai to leave such a kingdom that is hostile to Da Qin lying on the road from Da Qin to Central Asia just because Iya is Princess Loulan and a stunning beauty.
Either surrender or be destroyed.
These are the two paths stated in Hu Hai¡¯s letter to Iya. The specific choice is up to Iya.
In three days, all Li Xin¡¯s army had passed through the Holy Mountain Pass and entered the Pamir Plateau. Even before Hu Hai officially declared war on the Central Asian countries of Vanyana, Jiezhi, Ranbo, and Nagaraja, the 5,000 White Tiger Army Lu Xiong soldiers stationed at the Holy Mountain Pass had already attacked and defeated the former. The 20,000 Brahmayan army came to provoke.
The battle between the 5,000 White Tiger Army and the 20,000 Brahma Yana Army. Despite all the efforts, it only lasted less than two sticks of incense.
The White Tiger Army¡¯s entire legion of 100,000 people is the only legion in the Qin Dynasty that has only 10,000 cavalry. Others, such as the Royal Xuanwu Army's heavy armored corps, have 30,000 heavy armored cavalry and 10,000 light cavalry;
But the White Tiger Army is the one equipped with the most large-scale repeating crossbows among the sixteen legions of the Qin Dynasty. The entire legion is equipped with more than 2,500 large-scale repeating crossbows. On average, there is basically one large-scale repeating crossbow for every forty soldiers.
If one new crossbow machine is added to each man's hand, the White Tiger Army still maintains the title of having the highest attack power among all legions in the Qin Dynasty, even if Weng Zhong's Royal Xuanwu Army heavy armor legion faces the White Tiger Army's 2,500 large-scale continuous-firing crossbow machines. He can only choose to retreat three feet.
Lu Xiong¡¯s 5,000 White Tiger Army is equipped with more than 100 large-scale repeating crossbows. Facing these more than 100 large-scale continuous-firing crossbows, Fanyan's 20,000-strong army rushed up in a swarm and completely collapsed before they even got within 200 steps of the White Tiger Army's position.
This is because Lu Xiong deliberately let them into the range of the small hand crossbows of the White Tiger Army in order to maximize the damage to these Fanyana people who did not know the heights of the sky before launching the large continuous-fire crossbow machine.
Otherwise, the new large-scale continuous-firing crossbow machine has an effective killing distance of more than 1,800 steps. It is impossible for Fanyan's 20,000 troops to even enter the range of 1,500 steps.
There is a three-foot-long spear on the ground with a thick arm. Well, in the eyes of Fanyan, it is just a spear, although it is shorter than a spear. Every time the shrill sound of breaking through the sky was heard, blood troughs would be plowed through the densely packed team.
??If that spear is fatal. Then the inch-long black crossbow arrows raining down from the sky every few breaths are the death scythes chasing souls.
There may be a possibility of escaping in the face of the spears, but there is no possibility of escaping in the face of the rain of crossbow arrows that seems to be denser than the rain. I can only watch dozens of crossbow arrows tearing apart my thin armor. and skin, piercing one's own body.
These small countries in Central Asia saw the war machine from that legendary ancient oriental country for the first time, and were fortunate to be the first to experience it. Although the price is their lives.
Seeing that the Fanyana Corps abandoned no less than five or six thousand corpses in less than a stick of incense and began to turn around and flee. Following Lu Xiong's order, three of the five thousand White Tiger Army infantrymen had one cone and ten had one cone. Hundreds of people formed a larger cone-shaped charge formation, pulled out their sabers, and rushed down the mountain like tigers.
Even in a tail-to-tail pursuit, long-term training still allowed the White Tiger Army to maintain a strict cone-shaped formation. The power of teamwork. Forever?It is much more lethal than one person fighting alone.
After ten years of accumulation and innovation, the Great Qin Legion has long since broken away from the primary form of military merit based on heads set by the original emperor. Instead, it was changed to a new military merit evaluation method that unified merit evaluation based on regiments, schools, lieutenants, and the organization of the Qin army.
In this way, although it will stifle the emergence of individual heroism, it will also dampen the enthusiasm of soldiers. But it is far more likely than the possibility of disputes over heads, even killing each other, and unnecessary battle losses due to failure to maintain formation on the battlefield.
The military merit conferment system may have been the basis for the Qin Dynasty to unify the world ten years ago, but ten years later. However, due to Hu Hai's deliberate changes again and again, it has long lost its original purpose of setting the tripod.
It is undeniable that the military nobility system is the basis for the Qin Dynasty to unify the world, but using profit as the driving force and driving soldiers to fight may temporarily achieve victory, but when there is no war, how can soldiers obtain military exploits? So what then?
With the passage of time, the military nobility system will inevitably disappear. As for the military salary system of the Qin army, Hu Hai is studying it. As long as the time is right, we can formally implement the complete replacement and abolition of the military merit conferment system.
The military nobility system made Da Qin warlike and aggressive, which had both advantages and disadvantages. But today's world's technology as a whole is still in its infancy, and this is what I have achieved through great efforts in the past ten years. How far can a person travel with just two legs? What's the use of just fighting it down without effective control?
When Li Xin's army arrived at the Holy Mountain Pass, Lu Xiong's 5,000 White Tiger Army had just finished sweeping the battlefield. Fanyana's 20,000-strong army was wiped out in one battle, including the generals, who were all killed by the White Tiger Army's crossbows. Only a few of Fanyana's soldiers, less than a thousand men, escaped.
Naturally, there will not be too much oil and water on these Fanyana people, but the corpses must be disposed of, and there are more than 2,000 prisoners who also need to be arranged. Of course, this prisoner was the main force in disposing of the corpses of Fanyana soldiers.
To be honest, the battle against Fanyan's 20,000-strong army made the soldiers of the White Tiger Army who were bent on fighting feel very disappointed. The contrast is too great. Although the White Tiger Army looked down upon Fanyan's soldiers, and the powerful crossbows of the five thousand White Tiger Army were not without flaws, they originally thought that no matter how unbearable Fanyan was, he would at least be able to fight with him with real swords and guns.
????????????? The result was that these Fanyana people had already dispersed before even engaging in battle. So much so that the White Tiger soldiers couldn't get enough energy to pursue and kill them.
Li Xin didn¡¯t say much about Lu Xiong¡¯s battle. On his way here, he had already seen the victory documents from Lu Xiong and others. After stopping for a day's rest at the Holy Mountain Pass, Lu Xiong's White Tiger Army team continued to guard the Holy Mountain Pass and was responsible for sending the captives of Fanyana back to Sheche City. Li Xin then commanded his troops to formally enter the territory of Fanyana Kingdom.
¡¡
Li Xin¡¯s 100,000-strong army is advancing. The Vanyana Kingdom, which has received the annihilation of the 20,000-strong army that went to punish the small eastern country, is already quarreling over the annihilation of the 20,000-strong army.
The loss of all the 20,000-strong army will naturally not cause any damage to the Brahmanya Kingdom, which has more than ten cities. The scary thing is that the 20,000-strong army collapsed completely before entering the opponent's formation within 200 steps, while the opponent only had 5,000 people.
Fanyan naturally didn¡¯t know whether the reason why they were able to walk two hundred steps was because Lu Xiong deliberately released water to let them get closer so that he could die. If he knew it, I am afraid that King Fanyana would have begun to consider whether to surrender directly at this moment.
On how to deal with the Eastern Great Qin, Fanyana was divided into two factions. One faction is the main war faction headed by the family of the fallen general Vanyana, and the other is the peace faction that advocates reconciliation and a moratorium on war. The two parties seemed to have forgotten a serious issue in the debate, and that was whether Great Qin would send troops to attack Fanyana.
On the first day of the fifth lunar month in the 60th year of the Qin Dynasty, Li Xin's army took less than half an hour to capture the seemingly undefended Fanyana border fortress Luocheng, and captured the defending general of Fanyana, Fanyana County. Wang Luoxie and more than ten thousand soldiers guarding the city. In the Battle of Fallen City, Li Xin's army suffered only a few hundred casualties.
After capturing Luocheng Fortress, Li Xin did not take any rest. After leaving 30,000 troops to garrison Luocheng, he immediately marched westward and captured Fanyana Kingdom on the night of the second day of May, which was less than 200 miles away from the royal city of Fanyana City. The second largest city in the country is Dieluo City.
Since Li Xin never stopped in Luocheng, Dieluo City did not receive any news of the fall of Luocheng Fortress. They took advantage of the darkness to cover the Pingyi Army's 20,000 cavalry in two groups and forcibly broke through the simple gate of Dieluo City and entered Dieluo City. In Luo City.
In just an hour, the banner with the word "Qin" began to fly on the top of Dieluo City.
In this battle, 20,000 flat army cavalry strangled more than 30,000 Vanyana soldiers and civilians, and burned, killed, looted and looted countless people. ?At the end, the flames of Dieluo City were so bright that they could be seen dozens of miles away.
After Li Xin entered the city, he did not see any prisoners of Fanyana soldiers. There were only flames burning everywhere, broken corpses all over the streets, and women who had their clothes stripped and randomly dumped everywhere in the city, being ravaged and died miserably.
Dieluo City seemed to ignite the animal nature in the hearts of the Donghu cavalry who surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, and turned into a hell on earth under the hooves of the Pingyi cavalry.
