Chapter 690 Broken Leaf - In The River 2

Upon hearing this news, the foreigners Soren and the foreigners Mengwu couldn't help but cheer.

Cannon is the truth.

This truth is particularly easy to understand for the Tartars who are good at bullying the weak.

Although the Han soldiers in the Qin army were strong in the past, they did not have cannons, and they were not considered complete Han soldiers.

Now there are only twenty cannons, which is far from defeating the enemy in one fell swoop when the Chinese army fought, but this is the truth.

All Sauron and the Mongols believed that the Han people who possess the truth were invincible!

Then no matter how many enemy troops come from the river, they are all fat pigs. If they kill them, they can make a fortune!

As he was relaxed, the Tartars had already begun to discuss what good things they could get this time, as if they were chatting about home.

Last time, the Pars army was defeated in Balashaguon, each soldier who participated in the war received a lot of spoils. Horses, camels and other large animals were first concentrated for the king, and then distributed to each family according to the size of the credit. When the land was plowing in the spring of this year, many people used horses to pick up the plow, which was much more efficient than people pushing the plow.

There are also a large number of weapons and armor. The Han people don’t care much about these things. They have guns and armor. Those swords and old iron armor are naturally cheaper to the Tartar soldiers.

At that time, the square in front of the Sacred Ye Palace was full of weapons, and each company chose at will according to the quota, and the remaining rags were even directly returned to the furnace.

Of course, what is more important is actually slaves. Although the Tartar soldiers do not have the right to accumulate slaves, if there are too many slaves, you can spend a little money to rent a few slaves from the Han people to do farm work, or serve as a farm for the Han people and manage those slaves to work.

This can save a lot of effort and allow the Tartar soldiers to have the energy to participate in more labor guard caravans, material transportation teams, or hunting.

By the way, with too many slaves, the Tartar soldiers can use their merits or money to buy a Pars' wife.

Slave women are always cheap.

Xu Daixuan looked at these happy barbarians coldly.

They are all their own subordinates, which is true, but as they are now, if the Chinese Empire declines, they will still become a threat to the Han people.

Just like a group of wolves, if humans are strong, then any Tartar will be as obedient as a dog. If humans are weak, then it will definitely pounce on and bite people.

‘We have to think of ways to train them.’

One of the ways is to break them up and prevent them from organizing them.

Nowadays, except for a few cities such as Saiye, the Qin State lives in villages. In order to prevent the alien soldiers from being organized into a whole, the Han, Suolun, Mengwu, Tubo, the Western Regions Uighurs, and the Western Regions Qiang are all living together.

Generally speaking, a village with a population of 100 should have ten Han households, thirty Soren and Mengwu households, thirty Tubo households, and the rest are Uighurs, Qiang households, and local Tiel and Pars slaves.

With the Han people as the main managers of the village, villagers of all ethnic groups do not affiliate or know each other, so it is difficult to connect blood or other bonds together.

But when the war was fought, due to the differences in equipment and technology and tactics, the Qin army was able to organize their own battalions based on ethnic groups as a basis for the organization.

Xu Daixuan planned to take advantage of the opportunity of sharing the spoils to win people's hearts and completely disrupt the combat units. He would rather weaken his combat power than change the current situation of the individual formation of various ethnic groups, and use the Han people as officers as possible to reorganize the Qin army.

...

Samarkand, in Sogdian, means "fertile land", the oldest and most prosperous city in Central Asia.

Thousands of years ago, the Han people called this place Kangju, and the main residents were the commercial Sogdians. During the Tang Dynasty, Kangju Protectorate was established here, but later the Tang army abandoned this important city and withdrew its land, and it was annexed by the Pars.

The Sogdians who lived here earlier were good at doing business. During the Han Dynasty, they were commercial nations that traveled to and made profits on the Silk Road. They were famous for their wealth in Central Asia, but they never had a unified country. They belonged to any outsider who had strong power and would surrender to the fence-bearer.

Therefore, although the Sogdians gave the city prosperity, now the owner of this "fertile land" is Volojas III, the emperor of the Pars.

Volojas III was nearly fifty years old, with a huge body and a tight muscles, which swelled his gorgeous golden armor.

The thick black beard and the lion-shaped golden helmet can easily make people think that this is a real lion.

Volojas III was a warrior, whose greatest hobbies in life were conquest, wine and beauty.

In his past forty years, he has successfully conquered the vast land and locked the most beautiful wife, daughter and sister of the conquered person into his harem.

Such an emperor who is proud of his martial arts will certainly not be able to accept that the land he ruled is stolen by others.

So a year after losing Balashaguen, he personally led the main force of the Pars army to "regain" the territory.

"Dalkeqing, do you still insist on opposing direct attack?"

Emperor Pars' voice was very heavy, like a lion roaring. When a timid person heard the king's questioning, he would probably tremble and no longer insist on his own opinion.

But Dark is just a person who can stick to his own opinions.

"I oppose the direct march to Balashaguon, Your Majesty."

In the hall of the emperor's residence, Dark kneeled down on one knee, his voice was not loud or small, but he said very firmly:

"We cannot conquer the enemy's city. If we still have a chance to fight in the field, the possibility of successful siege is too low."

When China was still Qi, Dark had been studying in the distant East. He had seen the early artillery soldiers of China and even participated in several major battles between the Chinese and Jin armies (he returned to China not long after the Battle of the Yellow River).

At that time, the characteristic of the Chinese army was that its defense was almost indestructible.

With large-scale fortifications, combined with cannons and muskets, Dark believes that no one can conquer the Chinese city with enough troops to garrison.

The Qin army was also part of the Chinese army. If possible, Dark hoped to lead the Qin army into the field, take advantage of the opportunity of the Qin army's artillery's poor mobility to destroy it in the field, and then use the captured cannons to attack Balashaguon.

Direct siege will only be a disaster.

"I don't know where Captain Darkwan's courage has gone."

Before the emperor could speak, another ten thousand cavalry leader standing beside Volojas III sneered:

"That kind of thing called cannon is also being trial-produced in China. I went to see it. It is indeed very powerful, but the advantages and disadvantages of that kind of thing are almost as obvious that the hit rate is too low!"

"The most powerful weapon in the world is courage and sword. We have such a great military advantage. If we don't even dare to attack actively, the alien disciples will definitely laugh at our courage."

"Farran's right." Volodys III looked at Dark coldly and made the final decision: "If you don't have the courage to face the enemy, then don't join the war. Follow the crown prince in the rear and protect him."

"We attack!"
