You'an sent tens of thousands of human servants as cannon fodder after the palace, and the effect was very good, and he got enough time to clear the walls.

Small supplies were directly stolen, young and middle-aged people were forced to bear, and useless people were disposed of on the spot!

This is not the first time the Ottoman army has done this, so it is very skillful.

As a result, all Richard's Ming army harvested was a piece of ruins and a large area of ​​unowned land...

It’s okay to say that the land of fertile land is difficult to destroy, and the Ottoman army cannot spend a lot of time destroying the fields. At most, a fire will burn the unharvested seedlings.

By the next sowing season, this land will become more fertile!

Therefore, more than 30,000 auxiliary soldiers, both the Ottomans and the Han people, were happy from the bottom of their hearts, and only a very small number of Han people whose families were in the occupied areas felt worried.

However, Han people living east of the Pamir Mountains have few relatives and friends west of the Pamir Mountains. After all, one Pamir Mountain is enough to isolate the vast majority of Han people. What's more, the Ming Dynasty, which implemented the feudal land division policy, does not support the free circulation of the people. Although it is not as strict as the restrictions in the history of the earth, due to factors such as cost and roads, the population is very small.

Anyway, the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and there is no contradiction of too many lands and few people. After the policy reform of the Ming Dynasty, the landlord and gentry class that oppressed the people had completely kneeled down. The common people had land and planted their homes, so their desire to go out for a long journey naturally decreased infinitely.

This made the Han officers in the auxiliary army not much affected the west of the Pamir Mountains after being washed into white by the Ottoman Expeditionary Force. They were more in the anger of their compatriots being massacred, rather than the hatred of their family members being massacred.

There is an essential difference between the two.

In this way, You'an led his troops to retreat to the rear. You'an was really psychologically shattered by Richard. Originally, more than 100,000 main troops could not defeat Richard's army, but now You'an has less than 100,000 second-line logistics troops, so how can he have the courage to fight Richard?

As for guarding the city, in You'an's eyes, he was seeking death.

He knew very well the power of the dozens of artillery captured by Richard, and even more so how fragile the backward cities of the Ming Kingdom in the Western Regions were in the face of artillery bombardment!

After all, the Ottoman Expeditionary Force used artillery to open the way and successively break the city.

No matter how naughty the Ming army resisted, it could not stop the artillery siege tactics of the Ottoman Expeditionary Force.

Now that the situation between the two sides has reversed, You An naturally has no confidence in relying on city defense to fight against the Ming army's artillery siege tactics...

Now the remnants of the Ottoman Expeditionary Force under Yu'an's hands did not even have the courage and determination to resist the Ming army at the beginning. The morale was very low and he could not fight a tough battle at all.

So, both sides chased and fled. Every time You An waited for Richard's soldiers to catch up, he would sprinkle a human servant army to harass him. In the end, Richard's army's logistics line grew longer and longer...

Because the Ming army occupied the unmanned land, it was impossible to obtain supplies on the spot. As the supply line lengthened, the speed of pursuit naturally inevitably decreased!

Richard needed to continuously establish new supply lines, and even to prevent the attack of a small group of Ottoman Expeditionary Forces, he also had to distribute some auxiliary army escort supplies!

As a result, the Ming army won a great victory on the surface and continued to win along the way. The Ottoman Expeditionary Force was like a dog with a family, and could only cut off its tail to block the Ming army's pursuit. Losing the city and land had become a daily routine...

But the Ming army's advance was getting weaker and weaker!

The most important thing is that as a large amount of fertile fields west of the Pamir Mountains were recovered, the sound of dividing land gradually appeared in the auxiliary army. Since the land has been obtained, it is time to fulfill its promise.

The auxiliary military officers and soldiers did not work hard for the Ming Dynasty because they obtained the land, but they would hire tenants to plow the fields one day earlier and enjoy the wonderful days of collecting rent!

Starting from a minimum of 50 acres of fertile land, almost every soldier in the auxiliary army can become a small landlord, and he can hire a tenant to cultivate land for himself. At that time, the rent will be enough with the tenant!

After all, Richard promised all the best fertile land, and the output was very good. However, if Richard did so, it would take a lot of time to check the land. Dividing the land was not done with a few orders signed, but it would require a lot of manpower to implement it!

With the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions, the Ming Dynasty could not complete such a large-scale inventory, and it was necessary to assist in the participation of military officers and soldiers.

At that time, the auxiliary army will naturally not be able to continue attacking the escaped You'an team...

Therefore, Richard planned to recover the entire Western Regions and divide the land for the auxiliary army.

This is not only about the national face, but Richard wants to remove all the strongholds set up by the Ottoman Expeditionary Force in the Western Regions!

Once the Ottoman Expeditionary Force is completely driven out of the Western Regions, their supply line will be lengthened again. You should know that many of the Ottoman Expeditionary Force's materials are not transported from the local area. For example, the largest consumption of food supplies are all obtained in the Western Regions occupied areas.

It is precisely because of this that the Ottoman Expeditionary Force achieved the strategic advantage of shorter supply lines than the Ming army.

It is also the core reason why You'an firmly implements the tactic of clearing the world.

Once the Ming army stopped, You'an could take a break and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Ottoman Empire, and then rectify the defeated troops who were chased and killed, so that they could restore their power to fight, and to more thoroughly plunder and supplement military supplies in the occupied areas of the Western Regions.

You An even planned to organize some young and strong Han people into a cannon fodder army for combat with the Ming army on the front line.

You'an had heard Lin Dengwan mention that when Richard rose, the main body of his troops was the Seminary Army. It was the large number of Seminary Cannon Fodder who laid the foundation for Richard's rise and defeated the Han warlords and Tufan people who ruled the Western Regions at that time.

But one thing made Youan a little worried. The Ottoman Expeditionary Force had been too cruel to the behavior of the Han people. Youan was very worried that forming a Han cannon fodder force would easily turn against each other on the battlefield...

Therefore, to establish a Han cannon fodder army, it is necessary to establish a strict officer supervision system, so that those who are loyal to the Ottoman Empire can be sent to the point of ten or even five commanders, so that the Han cannon fodder troops will not rebel.

Obviously, this method is very time-consuming and will not be able to be done for a while.

Richard could naturally see what You'an could see, so he would never allow the Ottoman Expeditionary Force to stay in the Western Regions to reorganize!
