But aren’t the people from the Western Regions one and the same as Tuyuhun?
Sorry, the answer is no. Li Xingchen never thought that a group of small countries in the Western Regions that were the most clinging to each other in history could have any loyalty to Tuyuhun. The relationship between the two parties was actually more of a distant surrender.
If Murong Shifu hadn't started a big battle this time, forcing all the countries in the Western Region to take a stand to avoid Murong Shifu turning around to deal with his words, let alone sending troops to help, I'm afraid there would be no money or food at all.
Will give.
We even have to think about whether Tuyuhun can handle the big man, or should we prepare to use another thigh hug?
Even Li Xingchen had reason to suspect that these guys had secretly begun to discuss whether this big man was far away but powerful, or Gao Chang was close at hand but seemed incapable of fighting.
As for the countries in the Western Regions that can make gold and silver jewelry, can they also make muskets?
This is different too.
Therefore, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who was originally good at smelting firearms, had to tinker with firearms for such a long time. Tuyuhun, who originally only played with wood, should have a big head.
But at least they got the firearms and analyzed their principles, so that the Tuyuhun army no longer only feared firearms. Even relying on the captured firearms, everyone could brainstorm how to crack it, whether it was the simplest and primitive human sea tactics or building a thick
Armor and shields are also a method, and they will kill you if they are piled up.
That's right, Tuyuhun now doesn't have the money to build a large number of shields and other things that can withstand bullets. Especially these things are fine for use in defensive warfare, but are quite cumbersome to use in offensive warfare. Even if they can block the enemy's muskets,
Do you think the Han army's artillery is blinded by such a slow-moving living target? What's more, the Han army's infantry can directly attack them and still be able to cut down the tired Tuyuhun soldiers to the ground.
Moreover, we also need this and that. The craftsmen of Tuyuhun are exhausted.
Therefore, taking advantage of the number of people is undoubtedly the best choice for Tuyuhun now.
And Tuyuhun did take advantage of their numbers to the extreme.
Who are the scouts of the Han army? During the Northern Expedition for many years, the scouts were often the first to enter the battlefield and the last to leave the battlefield. Who is not the elite of the army? What's more, the white robes are not afraid of anything these days. Really
In terms of individual combat capabilities, apart from some of the Yulin Cavalry around Li Xinchen who were specially trained to protect His Majesty and engage in extremely important assassinations and other tasks, they were probably the only ones in the world.
These scouts and the white robes working together were unable to break through the Tuyuhun people's obstruction. It is obvious that the Tuyuhun people were aware that the Han was setting up a big plan at this time, and were ready to catch them all in one fell swoop, so that they could use their strength as much as possible.
To gain the advantage, first cast a net to block the Han army's scouts from coming and going, so as to prevent the Han army from communicating with each other.
This is indeed something Li Xingchen had not considered before.
After all, he still had too much confidence in his scouts and white robes.
But think about it, the father and son Murong Shifu and Murong Fuyun in history really caused headaches for several emperors in the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty. In the end, it was the Tang Dynasty that prospered due to the rule of Zhenguan that brought out all the elites.
Tuyuhun was defeated, so in the situation set by Li Xingchen, they were able to see something and counterattack as much as possible.
This father and son are not masters who just sit back and wait for death.
Li Xinchen asked Zhang Xutuo questions, which made Zhang Xutuo feel helpless.
Now that the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty cannot communicate with each other, this pocket array is probably full of holes.
"In total, Master Pei should have led his army to Wuwei by now." Li Xingchen murmured. He felt like an emperor for the first time, but his grasp and understanding of the battlefield was already small enough. Delay
When the battle report came to Li Xingchen's desk, the new round of competition was actually over.
This is really heartbreaking, and I even wish I was on the front line right now.
However, this also gave Li Xingchen a warning. As the territory of the Han Dynasty became larger and larger, the contact time between the imperial court and the frontiers would naturally become longer and longer. Now it takes more than a month for messages from Nanyang to be sent to the capital.
This is thanks to the Jiangnan Chidao built by His Majesty, otherwise it would have been possible in half a year.
This will be even more the case when the Han Dynasty takes over Liaodong, goes deep into Mobei, recovers the Western Regions, and even intervenes in Tianzhu.
Was the Tang Dynasty powerful? It was powerful, but in the end, why was it just a flash in the pan? In the final analysis, the Tang Dynasty expanded too fast, and there was almost nothing to fight around. Naturally, the Tang army was invincible, but in the battle of Talas, Gao Xianzhi used Anxi
It is reasonable for the elite to defeat the country's troops. After the defeat, the Tang Dynasty was a little difficult in Anxi. Then the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and the Anxi army returned to Guanzhong. From then on, the entire Western Region, the heyday of the Tang Dynasty
As a symbol, we say goodbye to the Tang Dynasty.
But if Datang learned about the power of Dashi, mobilized more troops, invested more money, and did not consider the internal factors of An Lushan, would it be able to defeat Dashi and continue to expand into Central Asia, and even drink
What about Maples Bay?
In Li Xingchen's opinion, it is not impossible. After all, the Prince of Persia once traveled thousands of miles to the Tang Dynasty to ask for help. Even morality is in your hands. What is there to be afraid of? Unfortunately, after all, the Western Region is still too far, and what is in front of you is
Prosperity and prosperity are too close. After the defeat of Anxi, the Anshi Rebellion breaks out again, and everything may disappear.
If Xuanzong at that time could have received the news earlier and had more comprehensive information to help him distinguish the pros and cons, then history would have been rewritten, and a super empire like Mongolia would have appeared in history many, many years earlier.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen himself felt a little enthusiastic.
Such a huge empire, in another time and space, God gave the Li family a chance, but the Li family failed to achieve it. But in this time and space, will it be the Li family like me who can achieve it?
As a time traveler, he naturally has a vision that is not limited by this era and can see a broader world. Especially now that Li Xingchen is sitting in this position again, how could he not have any ideas?
The huge empire spanning Europe and Asia is the long-cherished wish of many heroes in future generations.
However, Li Xingchen still has reason because of his hot heart.
The current problems to be solved are: one is whether the main force of Tuyuhun can be defeated; the other is how to strengthen the connection between local places and the central government - especially when His Majesty goes to a certain place to sit in command, this connection becomes even more important because of the long journey.
As for the rest, I may not be able to see it, it is a matter for future generations.
"Whatever the frontline needs, just provide it. Just ensure the logistics first." Li Xingchen ordered.
Since there was no way to see the real-time changes in the battle situation with his own eyes, he chose to trust Pei Zilie.
