Savagery and Progress. In the battle between the Qin army and the Thracians, this was most obvious. Adesilia was at a loss. The powerful Thracians, the infinitely powerful Thracians, and the Thracian warriors who made the Greeks, Persians, and Macedonians tremble, all faced the Qin people who had endless advanced technology. Like a chicken or a dog, he instantly became a pitiful character who was killed. "What's going on?" "How come these yellow-skinned monkeys from the East are like magic wizards, able to conjure one after another unexpected and terrifying weapons." "Oh, God Zeus, you Save the poor children." The Thracians who were gradually losing their fighting spirit were like swarms of headless flies. They were running around aimlessly, but found themselves trapped in the bastion that was about to collapse and could not get out. There is no escape. Half of the gate of the bastion has been collapsed by the thunder army's cluster gunpowder. What panicked the Thracians was that the Qin soldiers did not rush in. They surrounded the gap in a semicircle. Those special soldiers who blew up the stone fortress threw iron boxes one after another. This kind of terrifying thing will explode violently after landing, and then groups of Thracian warriors will be killed and injured. Piles of dead bodies piled up at the entrance of the crumbling stone castle. A pair of eyes that never close their eyes, like a rope of seduction, are stretching towards the surviving Thracians. The strongness of the bastion made the Thracians blindly confident, thinking that it was an unbreakable fortress, so they had no other way out. Now the only passage is blocked, as the morning light gradually appears in the sky. The Thracians fell into endless despair. "Great Thracian, Akmaji (charge)¡ª¡ª!" At the time of life and death, fierce Thracian officers tried to break out of a bloody road from time to time. However, their efforts were blocked by the Qin army. Failure again and again. "Great Thrace!" Adhilya was almost desperate. He hissed and swung his giant sword desperately to kill. He didn't care whether it was his own army or the enemy in front of him. After cutting down five or six of his own soldiers in a row, his eyes suddenly went dark. When he looked up, he saw rows of Qin soldiers. Like a cold stone statue. He was holding a crossbow and a spear, waiting for him to surrender. "I surrender!" "Thrace, surrender! Qin people, you have won." Adexilia stood blankly at the door, and the giant sword in her hand fell to the ground with a cry. Everybody is afraid of death. Even Adesilia, who had beheaded hundreds of slaves with her own hands, was no exception. When the cold arrows were pointed at herself, Adesilia succumbed. ¡ª¡ª. The Battle of the Bastion. It ended at dawn with the surrender of the Thracian general Ardesilia. The fighting spirit of the Thracian soldiers became even lower. In the end, more than 2,000 of the 5,000 warriors were killed, and the remaining more than 3,000 people, including wounded soldiers, all became prisoners of the Qin army. Not only did this include Ad Helia, the commander of the city defense, and Spartacus, a young soldier who was lucky enough to escape. at this time. No one would have thought that it was this young Thracian. A few decades later, there would be a great uprising on the Apennine Peninsula that would devastate the Roman Republic. Of course, with the participation of the Qin State, the fate of Spartacus and his slave brothers has changed. The only thing that remains unchanged should be their own abilities and talents. no doubt. The battle for the capture of Constantinople started from the crossing of the sea yesterday evening to the end in the early morning of the next day. The entire campaign planned by the Qin army was perfect. Cao Xin, the fierce general of the Qin army, is like an experienced hunter. He commanded decisively and dispatched well, and groups of Qin troops were like waves, hitting the weak points of the Thracians. And when he saw the opportunity to kill everyone, he was able to restrain his nature, which Cao Xin could not do in the past. Behind all this, he was able to thank the establishment of the Qin Army's staff system. The unity of the country. The concentration of a large amount of financial, material and human resources made it possible for Li Yuan to establish a specialized quality education system in the military. Ten years of recuperation also allowed batches of young people to become the reserve talents of the Qin army generals, like young people. Generals such as Gan Yong, Zhou Ping, and Yang Yu were all sent to Chang'an Military Academy for training. As for a fierce general like Cao Xin, unfortunately, he was repeatedly mentioned as a negative teaching material by students, saying that he was brave and foolhardy, and that his brains grew from pigs' bodies, etc. After being "humiliated" again and again, Cao Xin angrily asked Li Yuan for help and volunteered to return to Chang'an Military Academy to serve as an instructor for young people. Cao Xin¡¯s original intention was toIt was a good idea to teach the younger generations who had not yet grown up, but in the end, his thoughts became a living example of self-humiliation in front of the collective efforts of the students. In the end, Cao Xin, who was convinced, finally bowed his head. In this battle, he humbly accepted the opinions of these young staff officers and no longer resisted at all. ¡ª¡ª. The middle reaches of the two river basins. Xin'an City. Since the arrival of the Qin army and Qin people, the laying of advanced urban water supply pipeline facilities and strict self-discipline rules for residents have given the city a new look. The gurgling river washed this ancient Middle Eastern city clean and tidy. The desert lake not far outside the city has become a scene of the city. Migratory birds from Siberia did not know when they discovered that there were not only aquatic plants in the lake. It is growing, and there are some small fish swimming back and forth. Food, environment and climate. is an important condition for birds to choose their habitat, and the emergence of the artificial lake in Xin'an City allows migratory birds to find a new home. Yan Feng fell in love with this city as soon as he arrived here. The climate in the Middle East is a bit hot in summer, but warm and pleasant in winter. In this regard, it cannot be compared to Chang'an City, which is located north of Qinling Mountains and is being hit by a cold current. Next to me, a beautiful and energetic girl appeared. ¡°For Li Yuan, this is a trouble of happiness. From the outside, Yan Feng is the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom, and has a nominal father-daughter relationship with Li Yuan. In addition, there is about ten years of age difference, so it is nothing to be close to each other, but in private, Li Yuan But they each felt that the defenses in their hearts were collapsing little by little. "Brother, look at how these clothes are. Is the waist too tight? Come and loosen it for me." Every morning, such tantrums happened from time to time, which made Li Yuan feel even more stressed. "Young lady Yan Feng, you are really not afraid that I will eat you!" In Li Yuan's mind, a taboo demon was opening its mouth, trying to swallow a little guy of the opposite sex who had thrown himself into a trap. News of the victory in the Battle of Constantinople came. Xin'an City was filled with joy. This was the first battle fought by the Qin Army since it defeated the Seleucid Kingdom. It was also the first battle the Qin Army fought on the European continent. Facing the Thracians who had defeated the Huns, the Qin Army Shang Xia actually felt a little uneasy. This day. Li Yuan held a banquet to celebrate the victory with the generals and officials in Xin'an City. At the same time, he also issued an edict to reward the athletes who had made military exploits on the front line. During the banquet, there was one person who attracted attention. Han Xin, King of Yan of the State of Qin. Han Xin, who had not appeared for a long time, served as the commander-in-chief of the northernmost army at the beginning of the Qin Army's Western Expedition. His Youzhou Iron Cavalry swept away the remnants of the Huns in the Altai Mountains. Later, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the northern line of the Qin Army's Silk Road , Han Xin was ordered to continue advancing north. After a year and a half of arduous conquest, the Qin army in Youzhou wiped out the Huns who retreated to the primitive jungles in the north, and established dozens of temporary settlements in the Ob and Lena river basins. Although the frozen soil and ice fields have a harsh living environment, for the Qin State, they are not only a barrier to protect the safety of the Silk Road, but also a reserve for future expansion and extension of living space. Han Xin came to Xin'an City this time mainly to report his work to Li Yuan. Among the generals of the Qin army, Han Xin's status was higher than that of Li Zhongxiang, Luo Jia and others, and Li Yuan was very concerned about this man who had established the army in the late Qin and early Han Dynasties. Famous generals who have made great military exploits are also treated with courtesy, which is different from others. "Your Majesty, Constantinople was successfully captured this time, thanks to the great efforts of the Tianlei Army. I did not expect that this new type of weapon would be so powerful in a siege battle. It is really unbelievable." mentioned. Han Xin looked in admiration for the Tianlei Army. This new unit, which was established and discovered by Li Yuan, was appearing in front of everyone with a brand-new attitude. For combat in the cold weapon era, the use of gunpowder was too advanced. "The power of the sky thunder is still flawed. We were able to win this time just by taking advantage of the unexpected advantage of having more strikes and fewer strikes. The Thracians are not powerful enough to be our opponents." Li Yuan shook his head. ,road. "The Thracians have a reputation for being fierce. I heard that fifty years ago, more than half of the Macedonian army that stretched across the entire continent were Thracians. If they are not real opponents, then our Great Qin Army's opponents Who is it again?" Han Xin said in surprise. In this era before paper was invented, written records and inheritance relied on oracle bones, stone tablets, wooden slips, and bamboo slips, which brought a lot of inconvenience to the spread of knowledge. Therefore, not only Han Xin, but also Li Yuan in the entire Qin Dynasty knew the history of the survival and development of various European nations. "We??There is only one real opponent: Rome. "Li Yuan's firm eyes swept across the faces of Han Xin and other Qin army subordinates: "Two years ago, the Romans defeated Carthage, a great country on the southern coast of the Mediterranean, in the Second Punic War. Now, they are like this. The country is the most powerful in the sea and has the most powerful military power. If we want to gain a foothold on the continent on the other side of the sea, we will definitely encounter the Romans head-on. "Eastern Qin and Western Qin. The two most powerful countries in the second century BC are about to collide, and the outcome will require the efforts and lives of the soldiers on both sides to write .
