Chapter 6659 The collapse of the kingdom

Because he wanted to attack and wipe out some of the main forces of Kushan, Zhang Ji would also pay special attention before his departure. However, just by paying attention, Zhang Ji found that something was wrong.

"Why are there so many people? Are they all going to attack?" Zhang Ji looked at Nei Dai with a strange look and asked. Although there were tens of thousands of people, even if there were boundless people, even if there were boundless people, Zhang Ji had at least seen an army of tens of thousands of people. How could he say the scale of this time, it was even larger than when he encircled Ward last time.

"This is just a part of the young and strong. Each of the three departments in our Tibetan area has brought out the main force of this size. I don't believe that Fu Ward was a fierce attack." Lin Dai said with a ferocious look on his face. The injuries suffered in the last battle still hurt a little when recalling Fu Ward, but this could not stop Lin Dai from sending troops to wipe out Fu Ward.

The sweat on Zhang Ji's forehead was oozing out. Damn, you say it again, no, what are you talking about? What are the three Tibetan departments? Each department has taken out the main force of this size. You Qingqiang, Faqiang, and Di people combined, and the three departments have brought out a total of 50,000 or 60,000 people, which is outrageous. Now you have so many one of them, and the other two have so many. Are you crazy?

Zhang Ji quickly asked the people who were guarding him to take stock. Although he had never learned some military skills, as Liangzhou, he had some impression of large-scale battles. He had never thought that Nei Dai would be so outrageous. With such an inventory, Zhang Ji was irritated, 70,000 people?

I'll let me go, do you Qingqiang have so many young and strong people?

"Most of you, you don't even have armor!" Zhang Ji was so numb, so he stopped him quickly. Damn, even half-year-old guys were out. Are you crazy? If you lose, no, you don't mention losing. Even if you win, tens of thousands of people will die. If you fall or not, I will definitely fall.

"No, when we Qiang people went to war, most of them were wrapped in two sheepskins, just with bows and arrows. Now at least we not only have bows and arrows, but also long spears, but the young men can also wrap at least five sheepskins. Including the main force of the 30,000 armored armors at the beginning, this time it will definitely hurt Fu Ward severely!" Neil Dai said confidently.

To be honest, this is not a nonsense. Fu Ward's main force is only 30,000. The remaining Gaoyuan Servant Army, namely Xiangxiong soldiers, except for a very small number of whom surrendered to Fu Ward, the rest are all those who can and can get along with each other. Few really work hard. The Qiang people, most of the Qiang people present were spontaneous.

Although this spontaneity was the result of Lin Dai asking the head man to give the Qiang people a bag of rice, a pot of oil, a large piece of tea cake, and half a pound of sugar to the Qiang people, you just said it was spontaneous. At least Lin Dai really didn't force these Qiang people this time. He just scolded the head man and asked the heads of each tribe to mobilize the young and strong men as much as possible, so that the young and strong men of each tribe could sign up as much as possible to participate in this matter.

Originally, Nei Dai and Yang Pu estimated that each of them should be able to mobilize 40,000 to 50,000 people, which totaled 120,000 to 150,000. However, since the Han Dynasty's supplies were really provided, and the three Qiang people suffered from snow disasters and epidemics in the Tibetan area in recent years, they all rely on the Han Dynasty to provide food, clothes and medicine to carry it over.

Although Chen Xi also gave the same treatment in other places during the snow disaster and epidemics before, it can be said that this is the first time that the three ministries in the Tibetan area have enjoyed the treatment of Han people. The original situation of death was not entirely true. Therefore, when the leaders of each tribe brought supplies to inform his subordinates of the Qiang people, when it was time to work for the Han Dynasty, basically all households and households basically took time.

So much so that the scale of 120,000 to 150,000 was estimated to reach the peak of 3 draws and 100,000.

You should know that there are only 600,000 Qiang people in the Tibetan area, but so many young and strong people have drawn out. In this battle, neighbor Dai was obviously heading for every family to be in vain. He didn't believe that no matter how hard Fu Ward was against the will of heaven, he could still withstand his army of more than 200,000.

Even if the army of more than 200,000 is old, young and young, in this case, if the Qiang people had not gone to the Tibetan area and hugged the thighs of the Han Dynasty, where would the 50-year-old soldiers come from? Not to mention ordinary Qiang people, even most Qiang people will live less than fifty years old. In this case, the 200,000 army of except for some half-year-old men, looks quite neat.

After all, the biggest one is Nei Dai, who is in his early forties. He has been nourishing in the past two years and has been well maintained. At least he still has the ability to stab someone with a gun.

"Turn all the young men under the age of 18 back." Zhang Ji said with a dark face. He knew that Lin Dai would be crazy. He never thought that Lin Dai would be so crazy. He did not have enough weapons and equipment. Many Qiang people just put a few pieces of sheepskin on their bodies, then took a long spear and came. This is a death sentence, do you know?

"Ah? These young men are the main force!" Lin Dai said in confusion.

"After these people are fighting, your tribe will be gone!" Zhang Ji said angrily.

"It's okay, I can't finish it. No matter how hard Fu Ward is, he will never kill our army of more than 200,000. We rushed forward and launched a full-scale encirclement from the northwest, central, Qiangtang and southern part at the same time. Maybe some of our troops will definitely suffer heavy losses, but it doesn't matter. We are ready to die with Fu Ward." Neighbor Dai said indifferently.

The tribe is gone? Le, in the past, the big blizzards of the previous year, the big blizzards of the previous year, and the big blizzards of the last year were already enough to kill most of the tribes. Now I still have the opportunity to speak here, so what else can I say? I will show my loyalty to the Han Dynasty!

Lin Dai's idea was very clear, which was to block and encircle the encirclement on a large scale, erode the points where the Kushan main forces were stationed from the periphery, forcing Fu Ward to lead troops to fight. Due to the distribution of troops, Fu Ward could not gather all the main forces in a short time due to the distribution of troops, so the front line would be fully expanded. This is what Lin Dai wanted - a large number of auxiliary soldiers filled the line, and then used the armed super shield guard to fight a decisive blow.

After all, there is a 200,000 army here, and it is impossible for Lin Dai to dispatch it. In fact, even if the leader among the Qiang people is strong, he will lead at most 10,000 or 20,000 people, and he cannot command well. Even if the young and strong people of more than 200,000 are united, it is difficult for the Qiang people to effectively control it.

Since this is the case, it would be better to use these young and strong men to fill the line and force Fu Ward to dispatch the main force. Then the Qiang Rent-headed man led a super heavy cavalry with one man and three horses. When Fu Ward's main force entered the front line, a strong attack would be interspersed. Maybe the young and strong men and super heavy cavalry could achieve a great record by relying on the line filling the line and kill Fu Ward directly.

That's right, the Qiang Rentou people pressed the treasure directly on the five hundred super shield guards with defensive etching armor that the Han Dynasty had created for them, and the core of the entire strategy and tactics was pressed on this.

After all, these 500 people are all elites in the three Qiang people. They spent almost all their capital to create warriors. Even the Sagittarius, who were very rare, were put into it. Finally, relying on muscle-building needles, bone-strengthening needles, and high-nutrition food, they successfully raised a group of men.

Then the Qiang people handed over all their war horses to this group of people. There was no way. Although the Tibetan area could raise horses, the quality was not good on the one hand, and the grassland was not suitable on the other hand, so neither side of the Tibetan area had too many war horses. However, in order to create super heavy cavalry, the magical weapons donated by the Han Dynasty were used to the extreme. The Qiang people gathered all the war horses, which led to the first cavalry legion in the Tibetan area.

That's right, in the past, the wars in Tibet were all infantry wars. Even Fu Ward gave up the core power of his camel cavalry because he wanted to go to Tibet and as an infantryman to climb to Tibet.

There is no way, if people eat horses and chew them, if there is a mount, the loss of food and supplies will increase significantly, so there were no cavalry in the previous wars between the two sides.

The super heavy cavalry created by the Qiang people, in the eyes of the Qiang people such as Nei Dai, is the most important finale of this war. As for the more than 200,000 young and strong people, it is used to fill the line and entangle Fu Ward.

"All those under the age of eighteen have returned. They have not even experienced military training several times. What are you doing?" Zhang Ji said to Lin Dai with a dark face. He didn't want to explain to Lin Dai that those who were not. At this time, he must show the majesty of the Han governor and order Lin Dai to disband the young man as soon as possible, otherwise what should he do if his hometown is confiscated?

Neighbor Dai was helpless. He finally gathered more than 200,000 troops and was confident that he would kill Fu Ward. But before he even set off, he was stopped by his own governor. He was simply convinced.

But in the end, he was persuaded by Zhang Ji, not because of anything else, but Zhang Ji said that the Han Dynasty does not recruit under the age of eighteen in military service. This is an official requirement. In this regard, the country must be treated equally. The Qiang people are their own brothers and cannot cheat their own family members.

So those under the age of 18 were driven back. Although they were not completely disbanded, they organized themselves to patrol their own villages after the army set out to prevent Kushan soldiers who crossed the front from doing bad things to the rear.

"I feel that after those under the age of eighteen have left, half of you are missing?" Zhang Ji looked at the young and strong man under his command and said strangely.

Neil Dai glanced at Zhang Ji, "What nonsense are you talking about? After the 18-year-old left, how much is it?

"This population structure is a bit strange." Zhang Ji said to Nei Dai with a strange look on his face, feeling that there are far more young people than elderly people.

"What's strange?" Lin Dai glanced at Zhang Ji. "In the past, half of the children born before would die before they were five years old. When they were five to eighteen, they would die half of the weather, epidemics, civil strife on the grassland, and hunger. There were not many people who could live until they were eighteen."

Why are they willing to fight to the death? Why did Lin Dai curse Mangzhong some time ago? Mangzhong didn't refute it, and other leaders did not persuade Lin Dai, because they really needed to fight to the death. After they were truly accepted by the Han Dynasty, their lives changed drastically.

The simplest thing is that Lin Dai believes that he can live to the age of 60 and that his children and grandchildren can reach at least fifteen adults, which was something he never dared to think about before.

Mangzhong was scolded like that in front of the heads. When he was on the grassland before, he should have prepared the army and neighbor Dai to fight to the death. After all, in the age of 50, both sides who were already forty years old, their face was more important than life.

But now it is different. Mangzhong accepted the fact that he did not do anything wrong, because just looking at his seven or eight thriving sons, Mangzhong felt that he should accept the fact.

Living for face and dignity is often just because there is nothing else worth living, and only these two are left.

But now there are more things in the Mang, so he can accept that he was scolded by others for his mistakes, and he is no longer as extreme as before.

"The young and strong people you saw just now were at least 60%. Well, it was not a special reason, it was because they were not healthy and lucky enough, and then they died in the development process." Yang Pu said calmly.

Zhang Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and was somewhat silent. Although he was not a big family, Zhang Ji, who lived in the Han Dynasty, had never experienced such an exaggerated situation. After all, he should have swept the Han Dynasty and killed 70 to 80% of the terrifying record. He was suppressed by Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo early, so that Zhang Ji, Chen Zhen and others never thought that there would be such a brutal mortality rate.

"That's it." Zhang Jie spoke for a while, and even if he spoke, he didn't know what to say, so he could only say a simple word.

"It's nothing. We were all used to it. Look at whether Yang Pu and I have a good relationship now. To be honest, I have to focus on how to kill him now." Lin Dai said calmly, then pointed at Yang Pu and explained to Zhang Ji.

This time, Zhang was really shocked. In his opinion, Yang Pu, who was led by his neighbor Dai, was basically the next generation of Qiang people in Tibetan areas. What is this now?

"It's true. The living conditions in the past were too cruel. The head man would decline in all aspects after he was forty years old." Yang Pu did not think there was something wrong with what Lin Dai said. He got along well with the other party now because the resources are no longer tight. Even if Lin Dai didn't pass the throne to him, he would not destroy him. If he didn't become the head man of Qing Qiang, he could still find a way out in other places. Both parties were no longer in a state of death, so they could naturally get along well.

"So, governor, this time we let go, we were ready to die in battle when we came. If you don't believe it, you can ask your soldiers under your command. They were ready when they came. Maybe we were not as strong as Fu Ward, but Fu Ward wanted to eliminate us was also a delusion." Yang Pu pointed to the soldiers behind him and spoke sincerely.

Although Zhang looked complicated, he went to the team to ask, looking at an old man who was somewhat old but saw him walking over and straightening his back.

"Brother-in-law, how old are you? This time I want to go to whisk Ward, which will be very dangerous." Zhang Ji asked the old man.

"I'm over forty, the leader told me that I'm going to beat Woward. Before I came, I sent us millet, meat, oil and sugar. I'm 40 years old. I'm going to beat Woward, it's worth it if I die!" The old man standing as straight as possible replied loudly.

"Uh, do you know who Fu Ward is?" Zhang Ji took back the title of his father-in-law and you. The other party was actually not ten years older than him, so don't call him a father-in-law.

"I know, just to sneak a turtle boy from Kou Bian while our Han Dynasty was not paying attention. I heard that he was from Kushan and was very good at fighting." The old man replied loudly, feeling that he was indeed his own person.

"Look, we really didn't force them to go to war. Everyone came voluntarily. We also told them that it was very dangerous, but they were all willing to come." Lin Dai leaned over after Zhang asked a group of people. In this regard, they really did not make any fraud.

"The morale of the army is available." Zhang Ji was silent for a while and spoke.

Although they were not very neat and their weapons and equipment were not very good. Some people even wore sheepskin because of insufficient chain armor, but everyone was very determined in fighting against Fu Ward, and the reasons given were also very simple. Most of them were the Han Dynasty who needed to deal with Fu Ward, so they followed them to deal with Fu Ward. Or they were either the Han Dynasty who helped to pick up their lives and helped the Han Dynasty, which led to their return. They lived for so long, and they lived for so long. Besides, they had two more sons, making a fortune!

"If I had known you would fight like this, I would apply for more scale armor from Chang'an." Zhang Ji said after a while, "Let's go back and count all the families participating in the war. It's too late now. After the fight, I will give each family a set of scale armor."

Zhang Ji knew very well that the Han Dynasty was not short of scales, and there were even many scales thrown in the treasury. After all, the reuse rate of this thing is very high. Ten broken scales can be used to make eight new ones, and half a set of patches, etc. It is too normal for scales.

However, neither Chen Xi nor Zhang Ji thought that the Qiang people had such mobilization ability, and only gave them 60,000 scale armor for military training. Unexpectedly, there would be such a day, and Zhang Ji really believed that these Qiang people had completely surrendered. As long as he found a group of teachers to teach, at most a generation, these people would be no different from the Han people.

The Qiang people were dispatched, and even the Qiang people under the age of 18 were driven away, and the remaining Qiang people were still 120,000 to 130,000. From the northwest, central, Qiangtang and southern parts, they launched an attack on the Xiangxiong Dynasty occupied by Fuwad in all directions.

Of course, because the Tibetan area is too wide, it is difficult to truly blockade the Xiangxiong Dynasty occupied by Fuwad, because the scope of the Tibetan area is too wide, and it is difficult to truly blockade the Xiangxiong Dynasty occupied by Fuwad. However, the war reports sent from various places still made Fuwad quickly realize that the Han militia in the Tibetan area were dispatched collectively.

"Fuwode, the Han army has launched a full-scale attack. They really can't find your main force, but with such a full-scale attack, your dispersal of the main force in various tribes will only cause you to lose troops and lose generals." Ma Xinde came to see Fuwode again. The movements from the Qiang people made Ma Xinde realize again what kind of monster the Han Dynasty was. Does Kushan have the amazing mobilization ability of five to one?

"Isn't this your design?" Fu Ward asked as he looked at Masind.

"I don't need to do this, you know." Ma Xinde said calmly, "Make up your mind. If this continues, how many soldiers who followed you to Tibet back then will survive is really a problem."

Just as Lin Dai and others estimated, they could not defeat the main force of the Kushans, but it was okay to defeat the main force of the Kushans with tens of thousands of people. Even if these Kushan elites were desperately drawing young and strong from the Xiangxiong tribe as servants, they could only have one way to defeat the Qiang people who were more determined.

For example, the large Xiangxiong tribe discovered by Liuzi at that time. After the Qiang people suppressed the five or six hundred elites of Kushan, the hidden Xiangxiong nobles jumped out and jumped back on the spot, leading Xiangxiong green and Qiang people to attack the elites of Kushan, so that only a few dozen of Kushan elites of five or six hundred people escaped.

This is the so-called unstable foundation of Mashinde. Xiangxiong and Kushan were not the same as one, but he used special means to forcibly suppress Xiangxiong's internal problems. This exquisite means made the Xiangxiong Dynasty unable to rebel when it was attacked by conventional attacks. But in the face of the Qiang people's influx, to be honest, how could the Xiangxiong nobles who already had resentment towards Fuwude fight to the death?

"I'm already retreating, but the attack speed of the Tibetan militia in the Han Dynasty was beyond imagination. The local militia in Xiangxiong felt as if they were defeated under the leadership of our main force." Fu Ward stared at Ma Xinde, and he felt that Ma Xinde was playing himself.

"Because it is a self-destruction, you wouldn't think that the dozens of elite troops you arranged can suppress a tribe of thousands of people. That can only be achieved by relying on the tribe's original organizational ability. Now that you have external forces to dismantle this organizational power, what can the elite troops of dozens of people do?" Ma Xinde sighed and said. Fu Ward is really strong, but there are some things that really don't understand.

A dozen people drove thousands of people, not because of how powerful those more than a dozen people were, but because of the thousands of people being bound by various reasons, and they could not take action against these dozen people. Without any restraint, even if they were bare hands and empty-handed, what could they be considered when facing a dozen soldiers who were fully armed?

The arrival of the Qiang people gave the Xiangxiong tribe the courage to retreat and lose power. However, considering that the nobles who were forced to maintain tribe stability but were not killed had the opportunity to help them up. With the tribe with the leader, how could more than a dozen Kushan soldiers suppress it?

"Fu Ward, it's time for you to make a choice," Masinde sighed, "During this time, you have also summoned the people you should call. Whether to fight a battle that will be lost, withdraw, or choose to join the Han Dynasty, you should have figured it out now."

Fu Ward looked at Masind, "I really want to kill you."

"Walk together, why do you have to do this?" Masinder looked at Fu Ward, who had already stood up and shook his head. "We should not have a chance to see each other again in the future."

After saying that, Masinde turned around and left, and Fu Wode took a deep breath and began to summon his soldiers, preparing to evacuate the Tibetan area through the Karakoram Corridor and turn to Kushan.
