Chapter 787

To completely conquer a nation, we must first make that nation feel that it has no hope. It is better to join the sequence of powerful conquerors, or lie dormant, endure hardships, or survive. As long as the nation is not destroyed, there are still countless possibilities.

Did Zhuxia belong to a nation from the beginning? The answer can be drawn from the word "Zhu".

Zhuxia did not refer to a single nation, but to the same camp sequence. After the beginning of the Han Dynasty, a large number of Han people gradually formed, coupled with many vassal races such as Wuhuan, Xianbei, southern Xiongnu, Qiang and Koguryo, forming a pan Zhuxia system.

According to Sima Qian's explanation, Zhuxia started from the Xia Dynasty. With the collapse of the Xia and Shang Dynasties... And even the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors of Xia, Shang and Zhou moved outside the Central Plains. Therefore, the Huns are descendants of Xia, and other non Han nationalities can also find evidence related to Xia, Shang and Zhou, especially the Xia and Shang Dynasties, so as to judge that everyone is their own.

It is difficult to say what role the pan Zhuxia theory played in history. When the Han people were strong, it was a sharp weapon to defeat and assimilate foreign races. But waiting for the Han people to weaken, there are foreign enemies to invade, unable to resist and ruled, that set of theories has become a sharp weapon to disintegrate the Han people's resistance. Even some cultural people can confidently say that it is not shameful to serve the invaders of the same ancestor.

Under normal circumstances, even if the main ethnic groups of Zhuxia can ensure their own strength, the other vassal races will not honestly unite around the pan Zhuxia camp. Sometimes they will make some small moths, and sometimes they will even suddenly be cruel.

Most of the time, it is the main ethnic group that cares for and takes care of other small partners, such as providing food subsidies, teaching knowledge, improving their industrial level, and... Extra points in the college entrance examination? But such help is basically not grateful. After the main nation has problems many times, it is those people who bite over.

Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao both experienced the same era. Before the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty, the ruling class did not think there was any threat from the Hu people. They have such confidence that they are based on the coexistence of the three countries. Any country can rub the surrounding Hu Lu or barbarians on the ground and think that the Hu Lu has been completely tamed.

Facts have proved that the mysterious self-confidence of the Western Jin Dynasty is completely false.

The civil war between the princes and the Three Kingdoms led to the loss of a large number of people in Zhuxia. Due to the lack of labor force, they constantly introduced Hu prisoners who thought they had been tamed. At first, Hu prisoners were relatively honest, but they couldn't bear the Sima family. The attacks of the kings revealed the reality of the paper tiger in the Western Jin Dynasty, and then they were taught by Hu.

With the lessons of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Han people began to realize that Hu Lu would not be tamed at all. At least no one could tame Hu Lu except the western and Eastern Han Dynasties. There was no mistake in their cognition, and none of the later dynasties did the great feat of taming Hu Lu like the first Han Dynasty.

Neither the great Sui Dynasty, which was once strong, nor the great Tang Dynasty, whose population was not as large as that of the great Sui Dynasty from its establishment to its demise, suffered the loss of thinking that they had tamed the Hu prisoners. One was besieged and had to ask the king of diligence to lead to chaos in the world (Yang Guang was trapped in Yanmen pass), and the other was simply sent to the grave by the Hu prisoners they thought they had tamed (an Shi rebellion).

Now the Han state has regained the confidence of its overlord, but the lessons from the Western Jin Dynasty are deep enough. It is difficult to say what the rest is. Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao will have a mentality that if they support a white eyed wolf again, they will be bitten.

Because of worry, Yuan Qiao withdrew from educating Persia.

Huan Wen also had concerns, but he chose to face the difficulties. He was already making a draft in his mind. He wanted to suggest that the center should increase the cultural penetration of Persian Sassanian and help the aldasher royal family of Persian Sassanian establish a centralized system. However, he wanted to create internal chaos in Persian Sassanian. There were too many places to operate.

Finally, kianush Alta Aldasher's request to buy ordnance did not receive a timely response, and Huan Wen's reply was to ask for instructions. But his other request to study the Han system was promised.

Kianush Alta Aldasher's arrival is just a small episode. Huan Wen's most important thing now is to fight against ah San.

In the north and East, the Han army will not make any offensive for the time being, and the two sides have temporarily entered the stage of confrontation.

"Fu Wei is already moving to the coast there." Yuan Qiao pointed to the map of the eastern coastal area: "the mountain area here is not very vast. The enemy is most likely to retreat and turn into if they don't want to be attacked by the frontal advance and the fleet sends landing troops."

Up to now, the Han army is still not very familiar with mountain warfare, and even a little blind to jungle warfare. However, Mountain Warfare and jungle warfare can not be avoided whether it is in pingman Colonel's headquarters or a San's native land.

Huan Wen would not land in the A3 mainland until this time. The reason is that he dispatched troops from the southwest of the mainland. The other is to set aside more time to make more troops adapt and learn Mountain Warfare and jungle warfare.

The latest batch of standing troops transferred from the mainland are the troops commanded by Huan Wen for the longest time. At first, they followed Li Chenghan who followed Huan Wen to attack Bashu, followed by ningzhou, Jiaozhou and guang1, which swept through the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The reason why they were removed from the establishment commanded by Huanwen in the seventh year of Yuanshuo was, of course, the end of the war in the south of the mainland, and the Han army system did not allow a force to be controlled by a general for a long time.

In addition to the troops who are relatively good at Mountain Warfare and jungle warfare transferred from the mainland, Huan Wen also specially invited Qian Jiantong and a part of the Yulin army.

Qian Jiantong and Yulin army were the last troops to land on A-San. After necessary rest, they were assigned tasks. The headquarters and the standing armies of the two divisions were responsible for attacking the Satte City, the king capital of gitanado. They were accompanied by some A-San's subordinate troops, followed by servant troops from the Japanese Islands.

Sartre, the king capital of gitanado, is built in the core of a plain. In terms of the geographical environment of a San, even the plain cannot lack dense forests, and the river system is also numerous and complex.

Unfortunately, the Han army never lacked the experience of crossing the river. With the guidance of the guide, the headquarters did not encounter too much trouble. If there was anything unpleasant, it was the subordinate armies that slowed down the overall marching speed.

"In addition to the necessary guides, I don't care about those ah San." Qian Jiantong has just learned that as long as he crosses the river in front of him, there is a flat river ahead, and there is no dense forest: "it's more than 80 miles from Sutter City, and some cavalry can arrive before dusk."

Li Jun is the Vice General of Qian Jiantong. The deputy general is the role of the main general to pick up the leftovers and fill the gaps. In addition, he does some work such as guarding the flanks of the main general. He knew exactly what Qian Jiantong was going to do.

"The infantry lacks the animal power to take the place of walking, and can only arrive before dawn as soon as possible." As a long history, Cai Mian has more concerns: "although we have snooping information about Sartre, it is difficult to estimate the authenticity of the information."

Cai Mian is the eldest son of CAI you. It is Cai you's special favor to ask Liu Yan that he can take the last bus to conquer the A-San mainland this time.

Many of the second generation of officials in the Han Dynasty did not understand Liu Yan's specific ideas for the time being. Most of them were relatively honest in learning or practicing martial arts. Waiting to find out Liu Yan's ideas a little, the official generation began to strive for opportunities to make achievements for their children. Very few developed in the direction of local officials, and more sought to go out of the country to participate in the war.

As the king capital of a country, even in a small country such as gitanado, there can be no garrison in the city of Sartre at any time. The information received by the Han army is that there are about 8000 so-called guards stationed in Sartre city for a long time, basically eight tenths of the chadili legion of this small country. When necessary, they can mobilize no less than 30000 citizens to participate in guarding the city.

In addition to military snooping, the Han Army also learned about the city defense. Sartre city is a city of about 50000 or 60000 people, with a wall of about 30 feet as a barrier, but there is no moat.

Qian Jiantong also knows that he has been idle for too long, resulting in some eagerness. Giving up the idea of being raided by the cavalry alone, he inevitably scolded: "can those ah San be more wasteful?"

After all, the Han Army has invaded the territory of gitanado. No matter how stupid the Dera Dynasty is, it will not ignore the urban defense of Sartre city. The garrison city of Sartre can't be won by a surprise attack, especially the number of cavalry is only about 2000.

The number of affiliated troops following Qian Jiantong to attack Sartre city is not large. The 3000 chadili Legion personally led by misap and nearly 50000 Dalits are armed. In fact, the quality of the chadili Legion among them is quite good, but those Dalits are really a little ugly.

"If we open the way ahead, they can still walk like this..." Li Jun didn't know whether to laugh or angry: "if ah San is like this, we really chose a good place to conquer."

Isn't it? The worse a San behaves, of course he can't stand it as a teammate. But for the invaders, the worse ah San is, the better he will fight. It's really a good thing.

After crossing the river and marching five miles or so, Qian Jiantong ordered to build a temporary camp, and the necessary Scouts must also be sent out.

Before the captive army could catch up, Qian Jiantong had ordered Cai Mian to bury the pot for cooking. The scouts sent back to report that they found a considerable number of gitanado troops coming from two directions.

"One is a mixture of cavalry and infantry, with a number of about 8000." Of course, Cai Mian didn't have time to cook. He urgently returned to the main army's main post: "the other is the coordination of chariot soldiers and infantry, with a number of about 6000."

Chariot soldiers? The chariot soldiers were eliminated in the early years of Zhuxia, and other civilizations... Including the two imperial countries of Rome and Persian sassanne, there are more or less chariot soldiers. In particular, the chariot soldiers of A3 countries are still quite large and regarded as one of the main combat arms.

Generally, the detection and warning range of the scouts will not exceed 30 Li. It will take some time for the scouts to find the enemy and report back. In fact, the enemy is always approaching, and the time to respond to the Han army will not exceed an hour at most.

Qian Jiantong ordered the construction of temporary camps. According to the camp specifications of Zhuxia, the temporary camps will not pay much attention, that is, they will not dig necessary ditches. At most, they will set up horses and fences, and multiple defense chains will not be built in the camps. Such a camp has little advantage of tenacity.

"They went out of town to take the initiative?" Li Jun is not a fake. He doesn't understand. He really doesn't understand what the mentality of gitanado is: "is it delaying time to strengthen the fortification of Wangdu?"

"A lonely city is not guarded." Cai Mian did not have much actual combat experience. Based on his military knowledge, he said: "there is no satellite city around Sartre city. The mobile forces are arranged outside the city, which is in line with the military layout."

If you defend a city, of course, you can't shrink all troops into the city. In addition to increasing the consumption of resources, you will completely cut off the external connection, and let the incoming enemy lose the threat and concentrate on attacking the city.

No matter what the purpose of the approaching enemy is, Qian Jiantong will not stay in place passively. His choice is to ride the army to meet the incoming enemy's infantry and cavalry mixed headquarters. A division will match nearly 10000 subordinate troops to meet the enemy's chariots and infantry mixed headquarters. The rest will be used as reserve forces while guarding the camp.

The terrain of this area is flat, surrounded by forests, but the forests do not cover a wide area.

A San has a hot climate. Even on the plain, you can't see the lush grassland. At a glance, it is a generally earthy yellow scenery.

Qian Jiantong, who led the cavalry to the battle, did not march far to the northeast. He saw the enemy on the horizon in his field of vision. With the convenience of binoculars, he strangely found that the cavalry of gitanado's army had a long distance from the infantry, which was eight miles away.

"Blow the trumpet!"

Qian Jiantong now has three options. The first is to directly attack the enemy cavalry, eliminate the cavalry, and then slowly clean up the enemy infantry; The second option is to detour, give priority to attacking the infantry, strive to break up, and then turn around to fight the enemy cavalry; The third option is to divide the troops and attack the enemy's cavalry and infantry at the same time.

"Target enemy cavalry!"

Qian Jiantong himself was born as a cavalry general. He also commanded infantry. He knew cavalry and was no stranger to infantry. His choice was to give priority to the enemy cavalry.

Gitanado side obviously also found the existence of the Han army. The cavalry running in front slowly stopped, and the infantry in the rear also stopped after a distance.

Qian Jiantong soon saw that the enemy cavalry was changing horses, and some of the enemy infantry left behind about 1000 people, and the rest began to move forward again.

"Change horses!"

This Yulin cavalry is to change horses directly in the movement, use auxiliary horses on the way, and change into the main war horse when fighting. That's what cavalry with multiple war horses will do.

The horse changing action of the Yulin cavalry seems to scare the A-San of gitanado. At the next moment, the A-San cavalry turned its horse head and ran back
