Because they were going to attack and annihilate part of the main force of Guishuang, Zhang Ji would pay special attention to Lin Dai and others before setting off. However, just by paying such attention, Zhang Ji discovered that something was not right.
"Why are there so many people, are they all going to attack?" Zhang Ji looked at Lin Dai and asked with a bit of weirdness. Although there are ten thousand people, there are no bounds, but when the scale reaches a certain level, even if it is boundless,
There will be a difference along the way, and Zhang has seen an army of tens of thousands at some point. How can I say the size this time? It is larger than the last time when he surrounded Fulward.
"This is just a part of the young people. Each of the three troops in our Tibetan area has brought out a main force of this size. I don't believe that Fuwode is made of iron." Lin Dai said with a ferocious look. He was injured in the last battle.
The wound still hurts a little when I recall Fulward at this moment, but this cannot stop Lin Dai from his determination to send troops to destroy Fulward.
The sweat on Zhang Ji's forehead is oozing out. Damn it, say it again, no, what are you talking about? What are the three Tibetan areas? Each one has a main force of this size. You Qingqiang and Faqiang.
, adding up the Di people, the three films brought out a total of 50,000 to 60,000 people, which is outrageous. Now you have brought out so many from one film, and so many from the other two films. Are you crazy?
Zhang Ji hurriedly asked his guards to do an inventory. Although he had never learned any military skills, as a Liangzhou person, he had some impression of large-scale battles. He had never thought that Lindai would be so outrageous before, and with such an inventory, Zhang
Since everyone is numb, 70,000 people?
Let me check it out, do you Qingqiang have so many young people?
"Most of you don't even have armor!" Zhang Ji was stunned and hurriedly stopped him. Damn it, even half-grown young men were dispatched. Are you crazy? If you lose this fight, no,
Not to mention losing the battle, even if we win the battle, tens of thousands of people will die, and if you fall or not, I will definitely fall.
"No need. When we Qiang people went to war in the past, most of them were wrapped in two sheepskins. We only need a bow and arrow. Now at least we not only have bows and arrows, but also spears, and the young men can at least wrap five sheepskins.
Counting the 30,000 armored main force at the beginning, this time we can definitely inflict heavy damage on Fulward!" Lin Dai said with great confidence.
There is one thing to say, and this is not nonsense. The main force of Fulward is only 30,000 people. The remaining Gaoyuan servants, that is, the Xiangxiong soldiers, except for a few who have surrendered to Fulward, the rest are all
You can do whatever you can, and there are very few people who really work hard. As for the Qiang people, most of the Qiang people present are spontaneous.
Although this kind of spontaneity is the result of Lindai giving the Qiang a bag of rice, a pot of oil, a large piece of tea cake, and half a catty of sugar to the Qiang people, you can just call it spontaneous. At least this time Lindai
I really didn't force this group of Qiang people. I just scolded the leaders and asked the leaders of each department to mobilize their young men as much as possible, and asked as many young men as possible to sign up to participate in this matter.
Originally Lin Dai and Yang Pu estimated that each of them should be able to mobilize 40,000 to 50,000 people, so the total would be 120,000 to 150,000. However, since the materials of the Han Dynasty were really in place, and the three Qiang troops were
In the past few years, we had suffered snowstorms and epidemics in Tibetan areas, and we had to rely on the Han Dynasty to provide food, clothing, and medicine to survive.
Although Chen Xi had given the same treatment in other places during previous snowstorms and epidemics, it can be said that this was the first time that the three tribes in Tibetan areas enjoyed the treatment of Han people. The original situation of seven or eight deaths did not occur at all, so when the tribes
The leader brought supplies and informed the Qiang people under him that when it came time to work for the Han Dynasty, every household basically used up the Chengding people.
As a result, the scale originally estimated at 120,000 to 150,000 has directly reached the peak of three draws and one in just over 200,000.
You must know that there are only 600,000 Qiang people in Tibetan areas, but so many young people have been drawn out. This battle clearly shows that the neighbors are going for each family. He does not believe that no matter how defiant Fulward is, he can still withstand it.
His army of more than 200,000 people lived there.
Even if the army of more than 200,000 people is old and young, but in the case of the Qiang people, if they had not gone to Tibetan areas and hugged the thighs of the Han Dynasty, where would the fifty-year-old soldiers have come from, let alone the Qiang people?
Ordinary Qiang people, even most Qiang heads do not live to be fifty years old. Under such circumstances, except for some half-grown young men, the army of 200,000 seems to be fairly organized.
After all, the oldest one is Lin Dai, who is in his early forties. He has improved his nutrition in the past two years and is taking good care of himself. At least he still has the ability to stab people with a gun.
"Drive all the young men under the age of eighteen back." Zhang Ji said with a dark face. He knew that Lin Dai was crazy, but he never thought that Lin Dai would be so crazy. There were not enough weapons and equipment. Many Qiang people just wore a few sheepskins on their bodies.
Once you put it on, you come back with a spear. This is to commit suicide, do you know?
"Ah? These young men are the main force!" Lindai said in confusion.
"After these people are defeated, your tribe will be gone!" Zhang Ji said angrily.
"It's okay, we can't finish the fight. No matter how unfaithful Fulward is, it's impossible to kill our army of more than 200,000. We swarmed up and launched a full-scale encirclement and suppression from the northwest, central, Qiangtang, and south at the same time.
, maybe some of our departments will definitely suffer heavy losses, but it doesn't matter, we are ready to die together with Fulward." Lindai said without caring.
The tribe is gone? Le, in the past, the big blizzard of the year before last, the blizzard of the year before last, and the big blizzard of last year were enough to kill most of the tribe. Now that we still have the opportunity to talk here, what else can we say?
Yes, offer your loyalty to the Han Dynasty!
Lindai's idea was very clear, which was to conduct a large-scale blockade and encirclement, to encroach on the few points where the main Kushan forces were stationed from the periphery, and to force Fuwode to lead troops into battle. However, with more than 200,000 young men, Fuwode was unable to do so due to the distribution of his troops.
The problem is that it is impossible to gather all the main forces in a short time, so the battle line will be fully spread out, and this is what Nedai wants - a large number of auxiliary troops to fill the line, and then use the armed super shield guards to strike the decisive blow.
After all, an army of 200,000 people is here, and it is impossible for Lindai to coordinate it. In fact, even if there are strong leaders among the Qiang people, they can only lead 10,000 to 20,000 people at most, and they are not very good.
Even if they are under the command of more than 200,000 young people working together, it will be difficult for the Qiang people to effectively control them.
In this case, it is better to use these young men to fill the line, forcing Fulward to send out the main force, and then the Qiang-headed people will lead a super heavy cavalry with one man and three horses. When Fulward's main force enters the battle line, they will make a strong attack.
, maybe we can rely on line-filling young men and super heavy cavalry to achieve an incredible record and kill Fulward directly.
That's right, the Qiang-headed people placed their treasure directly on the five hundred super shield guards with defensive etching armor that the Han Dynasty had prepared for them. The core of the entire strategy and tactics rested on this.
After all, these five hundred people are the elites of the three tribes of the Qiang people. They spent almost all their money to create warriors. Even the rare vulture shooters were invested in them. Finally, they relied on muscle-enhancing injections.
, bone-strengthening needles, and highly nutritious food, successfully raised a group of strong men.
Then the Qiang people gave all their war horses to this group of people. There was no way. Although the Tibetan areas could also raise horses, on the one hand, the quality was not good, and on the other hand, the pastures were not suitable, so neither side of the Tibetan areas had them.
There were too many war horses, but in order to create super-heavy cavalry and make full use of the magic weapons donated by the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people gathered all the war horses together, and this was how they formed the first cavalry regiment in Tibetan areas.
Yes, the previous wars in Tibetan areas were all infantry wars. Even Fulard gave up the core strength of his camel cavalry because he wanted to go to Tibetan areas and went to Tibetan areas as infantry.
There is no way, people eat what horses chew, and with a mount, the loss of food and supplies will increase significantly, so both sides did not have cavalry in the early wars.
The super heavy cavalry currently produced by the Qiang people, in the eyes of Lin Dai and other Qiang heads, is the most important decisive force in this war. As for the more than 200,000 young men, they are used to fill in the lines.
Entangled with Fulward.
"Everyone under the age of 18 is going back. He hasn't been to any battlefields yet, and he hasn't even experienced military service drills a few times. What are you doing?" Zhang Ji said to Lindai with a dark face. He didn't want to explain those things to Lindai.
Some have not. At this time, we must show the majesty of the Han Dynasty governor and order Lin Dai to quickly dismiss the young people. Otherwise, what will happen if our hometown is confiscated?
Lindai was very helpless. He finally gathered a force of over 200,000 men and was sure to kill Fulward. However, before he even set out, he was stopped by his own governor. He was simply convinced.
But in the end, Zhang Ji was persuaded, not because of anything else, but because Zhang Ji said that the Han Dynasty does not recruit people under the age of 18 for military service. This is an official requirement. In this regard, the country must treat everyone equally, and the Qiang people are
My brothers, you can't cheat your own family.
So everyone under the age of 18 was driven back. Although they were not completely disbanded, they were organized to patrol their own villages after the army went out to prevent Kushan soldiers from crossing the front line from doing evil things to the rear.
"It feels like after the people under eighteen years old left, half of you are missing?" Zhang Ji looked at the young man under Lin Dai's command and said a little strangely.
Lin Dai glanced at Zhang Ji, "What nonsense are you talking about? After the people under eighteen years old left, how much more, half less, and less?"
"This population structure is a bit strange." Zhang Ji looked at Lin Dai with a strange expression and said, feeling that there were far more young people than old people.
"What's weird?" Lin Dai glanced at Zhang Ji, "Half of the children born in the past would die before they were five years old. From five to eighteen years old, they would die due to the climate, epidemics, civil strife, and other factors on the grassland.
If half of them die from hunger, not many will live to be eighteen."
Why are you willing to risk your life? Why did Lin Dai scold Mang Zhong so much some time ago that Mang Zhong did not refute, and the other leaders did not persuade Lin Dai, because they really needed to fight hard. After they were truly accepted by the Han Dynasty, their lives would change.
Earth-shaking changes have taken place.
The simplest one is that Lindai believes that he can live to be sixty years old and that his children and grandchildren will be at least fifteen adults. This was something that he could not even imagine before.
Similarly, Mangzhong was scolded like that in front of a group of leaders. When he was in the grassland, Mangzhong would have prepared an army to fight with his neighbors. After all, in that period when he could not live to be fifty years old, it was already
For both parties, both of whom are forty years old, their face is more important than their lives.
But it was different now. Mang Zhong accepted the fact that he had indeed done a bad job, because just looking at his seven or eight thriving sons, Mang Zhong felt that he should accept the fact.
Living for face, living for dignity, many times it is just because there is nothing else worth living for, only these two things are left.
But now there are more things in Mangzhong, so he can accept being reprimanded by others for his mistakes, and it is no longer as extreme as before.
"The young and strong people you just saw were at least 60% less than before. Well, it was not for any special reason, but because they were not healthy and lucky enough, and then died in the process of growth." Yang Pu was very plain.
He spoke.
Zhang Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and was somewhat silent. Although he was not a wealthy person, 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 seven or eight of them.
This horrific typhoid fever was suppressed by Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo so early that Zhang Ji, Chen Zhen and others never imagined that there would be such a brutal mortality rate.
"That's it." Zhang Ji waited for a while before speaking. Even if he did speak, he didn't know what to say, so he could only say a simple word.
"It's nothing. We were used to it before. You see, my relationship with Pu Yang is pretty good now. To be honest, in the past, my main focus now was on how to kill him." Lindai said very calmly.
He said, then pointed to Yang Pu and explained to Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji was really shocked this time. In his opinion, Yang Pu, who was being taken by his neighbor, was basically the next generation leader of the Qiang people in Tibetan areas. What do you call this now?
"It's true. The living conditions in the past were too cruel. After a leader reaches the age of forty, all aspects will decline." Yang Pu didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lin Dai said. He and the other party are getting along well now. That's
Because resources are no longer tight, even if Lin Dai does not pass the throne to him, he will not be destroyed. And if he is not the leader of Qingqiang, he can also find a way out elsewhere. The two sides are no longer in a life-or-death situation.
Yes, we can naturally get along well with each other.
"So, Governor, let's go and fight this time. We were already prepared to die in battle when we came. If you don't believe it, you can ask the soldiers under your command. They were prepared when they came. Maybe we are not as strong as Fu."
Ward, but Ward is just wishful thinking in wanting to eliminate us." Yang Pu pointed at the soldiers behind him and said sincerely.
Zhang's expression was complicated, but he still went to the team to inquire. He looked at an old soldier who was somewhat old, but straightened his back when he saw him walking over.
"Old man, how old are you? If you go to fight Ward this time, it will be very dangerous." Zhang Ji asked the old man.
"I'm over forty. The leader told me that he was going to beat Fulward. Before he came, he gave us millet, meat, oil, and sugar. I have lived for forty years. If I beat Fulward, I will die.
It’s all worth it!” The old pawn, standing as straight as possible, replied loudly.
"Uh, do you know who Woodward is?" Zhang took back the titles of husband and you. The other person is actually not ten years older than you, so it's better not to call him husband.
"I know, he just sneaked around the bastard of Kou Bian while our Han clan was not paying attention. I heard that he is from Kushan and is very good at fighting." The old soldier replied loudly, feeling that he was indeed one of his own.
"Look, we really didn't force them to go out. They came voluntarily. We also told them it was dangerous, but they were all willing to come." After Zhang Ji asked a group of people, Lindai also came over.
They really didn't cheat on this aspect.
"The military morale is available." Zhang Ji said after being silent for a while.
Although the weapons and equipment are not very neat, and some people even wear sheepskins because of insufficient chain armor, everyone is very determined in going out to deal with Fulward, and the reasons given are also very simple. Most of them are
It was the Han Dynasty that needed to deal with Fulward, so they followed Fulward. Otherwise, the Han Dynasty helped to retrieve their own lives. Helping the Han Dynasty resulted in their return, and they also lived for so long. It was not a loss.
, Besides, he has lived so much longer and given birth to two more sons, so much profit!
"If I had known that you were going to fight like this, I would have applied for more scale armor from Chang'an." Zhang Ji said after a while, "You will count all the families who participated in the war later. It is too late now. After the fight is over, give each family a distribution
Full of scales."
Zhang Ji knew very well that there was no shortage of scale armor in the Han Dynasty. Even now, there are still many scale armors lying around in the treasury. After all, the reuse rate of this thing is very high. Ten broken scale armors can be used to make eight new ones.
Yes, there are also half a set of patches and so on, which is really normal for scale armor.
It's just that neither Chen Xi nor Zhang Ji thought that the Qiang people had such mobilization ability. They only gave them 60,000 scale armors for military service training. They didn't expect that such a day would come, and Zhang Ji now really believes that these Qiang people have already
Completely surrendered, as long as he finds another group of teachers to teach, within one generation at most, these people will be indistinguishable from the Han people.
The Qiang people went out, even though all the Qiang people under the age of 18 were driven away, the remaining Qiang people still numbered 120,000 to 30,000, facing the Fu from the northwest, the middle, Qiangtang, and the south.
The Shang Shung dynasty occupied by Ward launched an attack.
Of course, because the scope of the Tibetan area is too vast, it is difficult for an encirclement composed of 120,000 to 30,000 people to truly blockade the Shangshung Dynasty occupied by Fulard. However, the battle reports sent from various places still allowed Fulard to quickly understand
The Han militiamen who had arrived in Tibetan areas were dispatched en masse.
"Fu Ward, the Han army has launched a full-scale attack. They really can't find your main force. But in such a full-scale attack, your operation of spreading the main force to raise troops in various tribes will only cause you to lose troops and generals." Masinde came to see Fu again.
Ward, the news from the Qiang people made Masinde realize again what kind of monster the Han Dynasty is. With the amazing mobilization ability of five draws and one, does Kushan have it?
"Isn't this your design?" Fulward looked at Masinde and asked.
"I don't have to be like this, and you know it." Masinde said calmly, "Make up your mind. If you continue like this, how many of the soldiers who followed you in the Tibetan area will survive is really a question.
."
Just as Lindai and others estimated, they really couldn't defeat the main force of Kushan, but it was no problem to defeat the main force of Kushan with tens of thousands of people and several hundred people, even if these elite Kushans tried their best to extract the members of the Zhangxiong tribe.
Qingzhuang was a servant soldier, but facing the more determined Qiang people, there was only one way to be defeated.
Such as the large-scale Xiangxiong tribe that Liuzi discovered at that time. After the Qiang people suppressed the five or six hundred elites of Kushan, the hidden Xiangxiong nobles jumped out directly, jumped on the spot, and led Xiangxiong Qingzhuang and the Qiang people to attack Kushan.
The elites of Kushan were so strong that only a few dozen of the five or six hundred Kushan elites escaped.
Masinde's so-called unstable foundation is like this. Shang Hung and Kushan are not of the same mind, but he used special means to suppress Shang Hung's internal problems. This superb method allowed the Shang Hung dynasty to survive conventional attacks.
There was no way to rebel at all times, but in the face of the Qiang people coming out in droves, to be honest, how could the noble Xiangxiong, who already had resentment towards Fulward, fight so hard.
"I was already retreating, but the attack speed of the Han Dynasty and Tibetan area militia was beyond imagination. The local militia in Zhangxiong felt like it was collapsing under the leadership of the main force of our army." Fulward stared at it intently.
Looking at Masinde, he felt that Masinde was playing himself.
"Because it is self-defeating, don't you think that the dozens of elites you arranged can suppress a tribe of thousands of people? That can only be achieved by relying on the original organizational ability of the tribe, and now there are
Without external force to dismantle this kind of organizational force, what can your dozens of elites do?" Masinde sighed and said, Fulward is really strong, but he really doesn't understand some things.
A dozen people drive thousands of people, not because of how powerful those dozen people are, but because those thousands of people are bound by various reasons, and there is no way to take action against these dozen people. As long as there is no restraint, even if
What does it mean to face a dozen or so armed soldiers with bare hands?
The arrival of the Qiang people gave the Xiangxiong tribe courage, and gave the nobles who had been forced to retreat and lost power, but did not kill them in consideration of maintaining the stability of the tribe, a chance to stand up and have a leader.
, how can more than a dozen Kushan soldiers be suppressed?
"Fvod, it's time for you to make a choice." Masinde sighed and said, "During this period, you have also gathered the people who should be summoned. Should you fight a losing battle, withdraw, or
Choosing to join the Han Dynasty, you should have figured it out by now."
Fulward looked at Masinde and said, "I really want to kill you."
"We are together, why do this?" Masinde looked at Fulward who had already stood up and shook his head, "There should be no chance for us to see each other again in the future."
After saying that, Masinde turned and left, while Fulward took a deep breath and began to summon his troops to prepare to evacuate the Tibetan area through the Karakoram Corridor and return to Kushan.
I finished writing it before the update. There seems to be something wrong with Dian Niang. I can’t post it no matter what. I thought it was a computer problem for the past few days, but now I’m sure it’s a problem with the writer’s assistant. It’s really disgusting. The writer’s assistant I developed can’t even post.
