Chapter five hundred and ninety sixth brutal attack hopeless
Hearing this, Ling Yun was instantly startled and showed an expression of disbelief. He found this matter unbelievable. It was a fantasy that a dynasty could not conquer a small tribe. He couldn't help but doubt Chen Xing'an's words.
He asked him to say that although the Daqian Dynasty could not reach the level of military force of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was not a small tribe that could compete with it. The army alone was one million, and each of them would have peed on Tujia Fort. , you can drown them, why can't you surrender?
Ling Yun paused and said angrily, "Mr. Chen, it's not my fault that I don't believe it. Our Daqian dynasty has an army of millions, and there are as many brave generals as a cow. No matter how powerful a small Tujia fort is, it only has tens of thousands of people." , what is there to fear?”
His words were full of disdain. In his opinion, Tujiapu was as easy as squeezing an ant to death for Daqian. There was no such thing as what Chen Xingan said.
In fact, from Ling Yun's words, he could also understand that Tujiabao was like an ant against an elephant, with no ability to resist in front of a behemoth like Daqian.
But facts speak louder than words, no matter how hard you believe it, it is just like that.
"No, no!"
Chen Xing'an shook his head gently, his tone full of helplessness, which made Ling Yun confused. He eagerly wanted to know if there was any little-known secret in this, so he looked at him with inquiring eyes.
Chen Xing'an felt his questioning gaze, and after thinking for a while, he explained, "The result of all this is actually due to the geographical location of Tujiapu. Lingnan has many hills since ancient times, and most of them are covered by mountains, forests and weeds. Due to the presence of tigers and wild animals, coupled with the climate in Lingnan, we are destined to be unable to garrison a large number of troops. Even if troops from other places arrive here, their combat strength will be far less than one-third of the original combat strength."
Chen Xing'an suddenly approached Ling Yun and lowered his voice, "To be honest with you, your Majesty, I once heard that when I was Emperor Taizu of the Great Qian Dynasty, I deployed troops and generals to unify Jiaozhi in one fell swoop. However, because of the existence of Tujia Fort, my army was not allowed to attack. We suffered heavy losses here and had to return home in defeat."
Seeing Ling Yun's expression of disbelief, Chen Xing'an actually understood the doubts in his heart, and then said seriously, "Sir, don't underestimate these natives. Even though their population is only tens of thousands, they are really very cunning."
"They know how to assess the situation. When the army comes, if they can defeat it, they will fight. If they cannot defeat it, they will hide in the mountains. Although our army is strong, we are good at defending and attacking cities. If we are trapped deep in the mountains, we will not understand. The roads and terrain in the mountains are also blocked by the mountains. Wild animals are infested and often left behind. For example, during the war, a figure would emerge from the cracks in the mountains from time to time and launch a sneak attack on the soldiers. The soldiers had no time to react and were on the spot. Drink your life."
"this…"
Hearing this, Ling Yun stopped talking.
After thinking carefully, I found that it seemed to be the case. The terrain and temperature in Lingnan were very different from other areas. If we marched rashly, it would be counterproductive.
Hearing this, he had to think of one thing. He still remembered that when he was studying history in his previous life, he had learned about such a period of Qin history.
After the First Emperor wiped out the six eastern kingdoms, he set his sights on the land of Baiyue in the south, and then launched a war against Baiyue.
General Zhao Tuo was sent to Baiyue with an army of 500,000 troops. Logically speaking, Qin's 500,000-strong army had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. In addition, Qin's soldiers were already brave and good at fighting, and their equipment was far ahead. During the Six Kingdoms period, more often defeated less.
With such crushing troops and equipment, Baiyue should have been defeated easily, but the reality was exactly the opposite. The Battle of Baiyue made the Qin army feel hardship and pressure that they had never imagined before the war.
The main reason is due to the harsh battlefield environment and the extraordinary ferocity and tenacity of the Baiyue people.
If it were a frontal battlefield, no matter how fierce and tenacious the Baiyue Army was, they would not be a match for the Qin Army. However, due to their superior geographical location, they chose to go into the mountains and jungles to fight the Qin Army, even fighting against wild beasts, and would not surrender until death. Qin Army.
As a result, the Qin Dynasty's army struggled every step of the way, suffered setbacks, lost troops and generals, and was unable to enter the Shiju territory of Baiyue.
Although Qin won the Battle of Baiyue in the end, the cost was unimaginable. The two armies faced off for three or four years, and Qin lost as many as 300,000 soldiers and horses.
The land of Baiyue in the Qin Dynasty was the area south of the Daqian Mountains and Jiaozhi.
Although the Tujiapu people are only a minority group in Nanyi Prefecture and their number may not be large, when the Daqian army besieged them, they ran into the jungle and sometimes into Jiaozhi, making it impossible to truly eliminate them.
It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and many people cannot afford it, so they just let it go.
Chen Xing'an's statement, coupled with his understanding of previous lives, gave him a clearer understanding of the existence of Tujia Fort.
Worried that Ling Yun would not believe it, Chen Xing'an said earnestly, "Sir, what I said is from the bottom of my heart, and every word is true. Tujia Fort cannot be attacked without force, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Having said this, there is no room for Ling Yun not to believe it. If what Chen Xingan said is true, even if this matter is brought to light, he will not bear too much responsibility. After all, Emperor Taizu suffered losses here when he was alive. He always Scholars of high rank cannot avoid it.
"Sir, what do you think of the Tujia Fort issue?"
Finding that Ling Yun was deep in thought, Chen Xing'an was silent for a long time, and then asked softly. In fact, he wanted to know how he would solve this matter based on their current situation.
According to Chen Xing'an's idea, peace is of course the most important thing. After all, he has no soldiers under his command, and neither does Ling Yun. If he really wants to send troops to attack Tujia Fort, he has to speak to the governor to have some hope.
But according to his understanding of the governor of Lingnan, this matter will definitely be reduced from a big matter to a trivial matter, until finally it will be nothing.
Ling Yun thought for a while. The top priority was of course to send people to Liujia Village to appease the injured people. As for whether to attack Tujia Fort, after understanding the past of Tujia Fort, he had no idea.
As for war?
Fighting is nothing, Tujiapu takes advantage of its geographical location, the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy retreats and we advance, he has no chance of winning.
Because the hundreds of people he brought from Guangxin City are not worth mentioning in front of Tujia Fort. He will not lead a hundred people to attack Tujia Fort stupidly, unless he is tired of living. Would do something stupid like this.
Ling Yun followed Chen Xing'an to Liujia Village, but when he entered the village, he vaguely heard bursts of wailing and hatred towards Tujia Fort. This result was tantamount to giving him a blow in the head, which made him feel particularly heavy.
