If we use full firepower, we can obviously achieve greater results.
But Qin Yun issued such a military order in order to reduce casualties.
"In this way, our own casualties have indeed been reduced. The number of Di people's casualties has increased, but the quality has dropped to the extreme."
All the great khans and shamans of each tribe ran away.
Not a single one was left.
"You can't blame Qin Yun for this. This is the limitation of the family's private army."
All the soldiers in the family's private army are from the same clan, and the whole army is related by blood. If Qin Yun still wants to be recognized by the whole army and does not deviate from the clan, he can only make a plan with such a low casualty rate.
Strategy.
Qin Yun was already very powerful if he could get the other eight armies to agree to send troops.
"However, everything has its disadvantages and advantages."
Because the whole army comes from the same clan, they are like brothers and sisters. The general cherishes the soldiers and the soldiers respect the general.
If according to the imperial court's plan, the soldiers recruited in the future will no longer be restricted to aristocratic families, then will the general still cherish the lives of the soldiers so much? Will the sergeants still respect the general so much? Will the whole army still be as close as a family?
How can a disorganized army ensure its combat effectiveness?
This is probably the biggest doubt in most people's minds.
"The memory of my previous life tells me that this is feasible."
Even though they are not connected by blood, they can still be as close as brothers.
Even if they are not from the same clan, they can work together as one.
As long as we have the same interests, the same beliefs, the same pursuits, and no blood ties, we can become each other's staunchest comrades-in-arms.
"Furthermore, the private army of aristocratic families has one of the biggest drawbacks."
The number of people is too small.
When the Qin family's army was at its largest, it was only 30,000 people.
The private armies of other aristocratic families are similar.
Only by letting go of clan restrictions can we quickly explode our troops.
"In addition, the private army of aristocratic families is also inconsistent with the general trend."
The decline of aristocratic families and the rise of ordinary people are the general trend.
This general trend is not only reflected in the court, but also in the army, among the people, and in all aspects of the human race in the Central Plains.
“What is the general trend?”
My will is the general trend.
…
Liang Qiu's face turned pale, and he suddenly opened his eyes, breathing heavily.
"No matter how many times I die, I still won't be able to adapt."
Liang Qiu glanced down at his chest with concern, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no bleeding.
Liang Qiu raised his head and looked towards the south with a smile.
"The Immortal Saint is indeed an Immortal Saint. After the snowstorm stopped, it only took less than ten days to defeat Beidi's 300,000-strong army."
Liang Qiu recalled the battle involving hundreds of thousands of people that he had just experienced with the help of the secret technique of Lingxi and shared perception.
"I have never experienced the catastrophe of the spiritual tide. The strength of the Central Plains under the rule of the Immortal Saint is really too strong."
This is just the army stationed at the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang, and it is just the tip of the iceberg of the power of the Central Plains.
"In this battle, we obviously did not use our full strength. Otherwise, the Khan and the Shaman would not have been able to escape unscathed, and not one of them fell on the battlefield."
If Zhongyuan's firepower was fully unleashed, Liang Qiu couldn't believe what the consequences of this battle would be.
I'm afraid that if the Snow Wolf Demon Clan doesn't come out, Beidi will really be exterminated.
"Obviously, Immortal Saint acted very well and was not in a hurry. In the battle of Beidi, morale was completely lost and there was nothing to worry about. However, the Central Plains has just risen and is far from reaching its peak period, especially for high-end strategies.
It’s not enough to fight against the demon clan. We really shouldn’t stimulate the demon clan and let them fully intervene in the war between the human races. It’s best to be like now, obviously achieving brilliant results, but limiting the battle to the human race.”
Liang Qiu couldn't help but admire Qin Yi for presiding over this battle.
Liang Qiu thought of all the previous rumors about Qin Yi, coupled with this close contact, he couldn't help but smile and thought: "The Immortal Saint has created the realm realm technique. As long as the human race is given another hundred years,
It’s enough to give the human race the confidence to fight against the demon clan.”
Although Liang Qiu didn't know much about the demon clan's strength, he had his own estimation.
"Under the leadership of the Immortal Saint, the further we go, the greater our human race's chances of winning."
At that time, the time will come for the Central Plains to conquer the four barbarians and for the Lantern Man to return to the Central Plains human race.
"Time is on our side."
Liang Qiu was imagining a bright future in his mind, when Liang Qing's secret technique of telepathy came upon him.
Liang Qiu knew without guessing what the spiritual dialogue between Liang Qing and him was.
"Instructor, we have won in the Central Plains, a great victory! Less than 100,000 people from Beidi fled back, and 200,000 Di people stayed in the south of Yinshan Mountain. I heard that the Langya tribe that guarded the gate of Yinshan Mountain has completely retreated.
North of Yinshan Mountain, haha, from now on, the whole of Beidi will probably change its color when talking about the south, haha..."
Liang Qiu didn't lay a stake in the Langya tribe, and he really didn't know anything about the Langya tribe.
The Langya tribe is one of the largest tribes in Beidi.
And the most special thing is that it is different from other large tribes. The other large tribes are all in the north and migrate around Tianshen Mountain. Only the Langya tribe migrates away from Tianshen Mountain and around Yin Mountain.
It is said that this is because the Langya tribe is the most pious and has been recognized by the gods and has been given the task of garrisoning the Yinshan Mountains.
I don’t know if it’s true or false.
However, the Langya tribe completely retreated to the north of Yinshan Mountain, which is indeed very representative.
It means that Beidi has fully retreated to the north of Yinshan Mountain and no longer dares to step south of Yinshan Mountain and enter the sight of the Central Plains.
This shows that this battle really scared Beidi.
Liang Qiu said "Okay" several times excitedly.
"In the past two thousand years, due to the catastrophe of the spiritual tide, the Central Plains was in turmoil. Beidi took the opportunity to raid the south, and the Central Plains were attacked without any resistance. Each time they returned with a full load. Such a despicable behavior is not shameful, but is proud of it.
The Di people have formed the impression that the Central Plains are weak and can be bullied, which is really hateful. This defeat can finally make the Di people sober up."
Liang Qing smiled and nodded: "Yes, this defeat is also a great impact on the belief in the God of Heaven. It is our best opportunity to promote the belief in the Dragon God."
The demon clan here in Beidi uses faith to rule the human race. Only by destroying their faith can more humans be saved.
Only in this way will their lantern-carrying talents become stronger and their scope of activities will become wider and wider.
If the Dragon God becomes the mainstream belief, they, the lantern-bearers, can even manage Beidi in an "open and aboveboard" way.
Of course, these are all fantasies and cannot be realized in a short time.
However, Liang Qiu thought further and said with some worry: "Can the Dragon God's faith be accepted by the Immortal Saints? Don't wait until the Central Plains conquers Beidi, and our Dragon God's faith will become the biggest obstacle, then..."
Liang Qing really didn't expect this.
However, Liang Qing quickly made a decision and said: "It's too early to think about this now. We'll talk about it later. I think, even if the Dragon God becomes an obstacle to the conquest of Beidi, with us here, plus the Immortal Saint, the internal and external ministers can
Liaison can always solve it."
Liang Qiu smiled in relief, nodded and said, "I've been worrying too much. Okay, this opportunity is rare, so let's go all out."
After disconnecting her soul, Liang Qing sat on the bronze throne, gently touched the spiritual seal in her hand, her eyes became deep, and she spoke firmly in a cold voice.
"Promoting the faith of the Dragon God and counteracting the faith of the demon clan in the four barbarians is the Dragon Saint's arrangement. The Dragon Saint's arrangement has its own profound meaning. Even the Immortal Saint cannot destroy the Dragon Saint's arrangement."
…
"Great Khan, do we really want to abandon the south of Yinshan Mountain?"
Barton accompanied Qierdan and looked south reluctantly, and asked unwillingly.
Qierdan nodded with a sullen face and said: "In this defeat, our Langya tribe suffered heavy losses. We have to shrink our territory and abandon the south of Yinshan Mountain. This is what we have to do."
Balton said with a mournful face: "The gods gave the land of a hundred miles north and south of the Yin Mountain to our Langya tribe. Once the south of the Yin Mountain is given up, it will be equivalent to our territory, less than half. Khan, we still have such a small territory.
Can it become a big tribe in Beidi?"
Qierdan understood better than Balton what giving up the south of Yinshan Mountain meant to the Langya tribe.
That's not just the hundred miles south of Yinshan Mountain, but the entire vast grassland south of Yinshan Mountain to the Great Wall, which is comparable to Beidi Grassland.
Even if the water and grass are not as good as Beidi Grassland, and the spiritual energy is not as good as Beidi Grassland, this vast territory alone is enough for the Langya Tribe to become the most populous tribe, plus the territory north of Yinshan Mountain.
There is no shortage of population and high-end combat power, which makes the Langya tribe become the largest tribe in Beidi.
Giving up the south of Yinshan Mountain means giving up the population. Although the high-end combat power is still sufficient now, the reduction of population will inevitably lead to the reduction of geniuses. If this problem cannot be solved in one's lifetime, then it is really possible for their Langya tribe to
Withdrew from the ranks of large tribes and disappeared into the public just like other small and medium-sized tribes.
"No!"
This is something Cieldan cannot accept.
"There must be a way!"
Qierdan growled with red eyes: "Don't worry, Barton, I will definitely find a way for the Langya Tribe to rise again in my lifetime."
After hearing this, Barton's dejection disappeared. He lowered his head and stroked his chest and saluted Qierdan: "I believe you, Khan."
Cieldan received Barton's unreserved support, and for a while, he was very proud.
At this moment, a sneer came from the side.
Ji'an Shaman came over at an inappropriate time.
"You, a sinner who betrayed the gods, lost the territory given by the gods, and lost the corpses of so many people who were grazed by the gods. You cannot sacrifice them to the gods. Qildan, your sin is too great, do you know? Humph, you can't even sacrifice it to the gods."
The sweat might not be able to do it, and it is still deceiving people, waiting for the punishment of God."
After Ji'an Shaman finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he didn't see a fierce light flash in Qierdan's eyes, and the scimitar in his hand flashed by. Ji'an Shaman fell to the ground in disbelief, and looked down at the blood flowing from his chest.
He looked up in disbelief, raised his right hand weakly, and pointed at Qierdan with his index finger: "You, you..."
After just two words, Ji'an Shaman's hand fell down and he stopped breathing.
This incident frightened Barton to stand on the spot, looking at the Ji'an shaman who was still dead. He looked at Qierdan with a horrified expression, and said incoherently with a trembling voice: "Khan, this, this..."
Qildan waved his hand casually, sheathed his scimitar, and said nonchalantly: "The Ji'an shaman took his own soldiers and comrades to stay to resist the enemy. He was defeated and killed, and returned to the embrace of the gods. Marton, please understand the whole world as soon as possible."
Jun, I want to give Ji'an Shaman a grand burial."
Balton was startled, and quickly lowered his head to caress his chest and said: "Yes, I will collect the corpses of the Ji'an Shaman's soldiers and let them be buried together with the Ji'an Shaman to ensure their loyalty."
Qierdan nodded with satisfaction, patted Barton's shoulder gently and said, "Do a good job. When I get back, I will make you the Righteous King."
Balton knelt on the ground in excitement, kissed Qierdan's boots and said: "I, Balton, swear to the gods to be loyal to the Great Khan to the death."
Cieldan laughed and stroked Barton up.
"Go, my right and wise king."
After Balton left, Qierdan looked down at the body of Ji'an Shaman and snorted coldly: "Damn thing, you are worthy of representing the gods, what the hell."
Qierdan turned his head and looked north of Yinshan Mountain, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.
"Beidi was defeated. Not only our Langya tribe, but other tribes also suffered heavy losses. With the large number of people from the south of Yinshan Mountain moving north, the population of our Langya tribe now has an advantage. Now is the time to expand. I am absolutely
No one is allowed to hinder my efforts to grow the Wolf Fang Tribe, not even the shaman."
The forces represented by the Ji'an Shaman in the tribe will never agree to his expansion plan, and now the Langya tribe, which has been severely weakened, has neither the strength nor the time to engage in internal fighting.
For the sake of the tribe, Ji'an Shaman must die!
…
At dawn, the warm sunshine shines on the earth. The vast green grassland north of the Great Wall and south of the Yinshan Mountains is blood red.
Broken tents, bodies lying in a pool of blood, extinguished bonfires, knives stuck in the ground, bows with broken strings, arrows scattered on the ground... a war involving hundreds of thousands of people, in the sunshine
Under the illumination, it is like a slowly opening scroll, slowly displayed in front of the world.
Qin Hui panted heavily and sat on the ground, eating dried meat to replenish his strength. His face was full of exhaustion, but his eyes were filled with light, and there was a vague sense of murderous intent.
Suddenly, he heard something, Qin Hui's body froze, and he held the sword in his hand. He turned around and saw Qin Wei walking over carrying an unconscious prisoner, and he couldn't help but let go of his right hand holding the sword hilt.
"Weidi, why are you escorting the prisoners? You were tired all day yesterday. Just leave these tasks to the logistics soldiers."
Qin Wei threw the prisoner on the ground casually and replied with a smile: "I accidentally discovered it when I was meditating and practicing. He was pretending to be dead at the time. He found me meditating with my eyes closed. He thought I was asleep. He got up and wanted to run. He was accidentally killed.
I'm a prisoner."
An hour ago, the commander issued an order to no longer focus on killing and wounding, but instead focus on capturing prisoners.
Otherwise, if Qin Wei found this person and killed him with one sword, he would not have bothered to capture him alive.
"Brother Hui, why do you think the commander wants to take prisoners? Just kill these Di people if you want to. Why keep them? Is it a waste of food?"
Qin Hui shook his head and said, "I don't know. Who can guess the commander's thoughts? However, we can just do whatever the commander orders. There is no need to think so much."
Qin Wei didn't think so, and continued to speak, expressing his guess: "Brother Hui, do you still remember the "Tao Jing"?"
"Of course I remember," Qin Hui nodded matter-of-factly, and suddenly reacted and said: "In the "Tao Jing", the human race outside the Central Plains is also regarded as a member of the human race, but it is just a human race that was bewitched by the monster race. The Holy Emperor
The meaning explained in the "Tao Jing" is to educate these human races, and the commander-in-chief did this to comply with the will of the Holy Emperor."
This makes sense.
Qin Hui raised his head and glanced at Qin Wei.
As expected, he was indeed the senior brother of the Holy Emperor, and he understood the profound meaning of the commander-in-chief’s actions so quickly.
"However," Qin Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is not an easy task."
Qin Wei looked at the rising sun in the sky and said leisurely: "Yes, this matter is definitely not easy, but it has to be done, right? It just so happens that this prisoner is a good start."
Qin Hui followed Qin Wei's gaze and looked up at the rising sun in the distance. The sunlight shone on his face, and it was warm, seeming to penetrate his skin and shine into his heart.
