sweeping the world

Chapter 870 There Really Is a Conspiracy

Maybe I should sigh with emotion, as expected of a race of the same blood, Ah San has always been careful about small things (not a typo), but when it comes to big things, his reaction speed is astonishingly slow.

In the history of Ah San, there is no shortage of examples of being beaten to the door of the house without discussing how to deal with it. The most famous one has happened, and the Yuezhi people have already entered the border. They have not yet decided whether to resist or not. Resist, and then fall without making a decision at all.

"Ah San just defended the camp in sections all day?" The confusion on Huan Wen's face was definitely not feigned: "Didn't go out of the camp to fight back, let alone mobilize troops from the rear?"

Yuan Qiao was also full of bewilderment. She never thought that Ah San hadn't reached a conclusion in the argument, so she thought in a cautious direction: "They must be very confident in themselves, right?"

Today's battle report has been collected.

Roughly, nearly [-] Ah Sans were wiped out, seventy-eight out of ten were shot to death from a long range, and the rest were eliminated (captives) in hand-to-hand combat.

There were fourteen large and small camps captured, and only one camp met with firm resistance, and the rest were all retreated by Ah San on his own initiative.

"General, please take a look at the map." Yuan Qiao walked to the edge of the battlefield situation map: "The current battle line is in a criss-cross pattern. The deepest area has been three miles forward, forming a protrusion."

Huan Wen had looked at that picture countless times. It represented the color of the Han army invading Ah San's camp, and it also drew the current Han army's consolidated front and Ah San's retreat.

The current situation is that the battlefield between the Han army and Ah San is the barracks.

Because Ah San didn't pay attention at all when building the camp, the messy tents, shacks, warehouses and other buildings and sundries made the terrain of the battle zone very complicated, and it was impossible to clear it during the battle. Another kind of street fighting.

"The whole area is connected together." Yuan Qiao had already introduced the complexity of the terrain, and asked with a little worry: "Are they deliberately showing weakness and luring us into fighting in complex terrain?"

It's not an unreasonable guess. The Han army is very good at fighting in the field. Except for a few elites, Ah San can't form an army formation at all. So it is right to let the war become a battle in terrain where formation is difficult. Three benefits.

"Uncle Yan, actually I've been a little bit confused..." Huan Wen stroked the beard on his chin with a confused expression on his face, "Since we landed on the Asan Continent, whether it's fighting Jitanado or the Gupta Dynasty, they They seldom defend the city, why do they always choose to go out of the city to fight in the field?"

Yuan Qiao really hadn't thought about this before, and was immediately stunned when asked.

If you think about it carefully, after the Han army landed on the Asan Continent, there were only a handful of battles to attack the city, usually because the Han army marched too fast. Otherwise, Asan's army would have spied on the existence of the Han army , or simply slipped away, or gathered a large army to camp in the wild or rushed forward to fight.

"There's another one..." Huan Wen walked to the side of the large-scale landscape map of the painting, and patted the cowhide landscape map: "Looking at the thousand miles around, I can't find a pass that can be called a dangerous pass. "

Yuan Qiao had done some research on this, but he couldn't explain why Ah San didn't choose a dangerous place to build a pass.

The area of ​​the Asan Continent is naturally smaller than that of Zhuxia, and generally speaking, the geographical environment is much better than that of Zhuxia. For example, the area of ​​the plain is much larger than that of Zhuxia, but this does not mean that there are no mountains on the Asan Continent. .

Valleys surrounded by mountains. Many times when encountering mountains, you don’t want to take a detour. It’s great to have natural passages. If you don’t have one, you have to dig a passage. Generally, such places are regarded as dangerous. In this land, build a pass, even if it is a simple pass, it has extraordinary military value.

There is no need to even have any mountains. For example, if you build a city at the intersection of four well-connected passages, as long as there are enough defenders in the city, it will also be a major military town.Its existence value lies in the development and convenience of transportation, but it is difficult to conquer because of the strong city defense and numerous defenders.As long as it can be defended and no enemy army dares to ignore its crossing, otherwise it will be easy for the attacking side to be cut off. How should the supply line be maintained?

The two discussed for a long time why Ah San did not defend the city. Because they did not understand Ah San's thinking and national culture, they naturally could not find an answer that could convince them.

In fact, it is precisely because Huan Wenwen and Yuan Qiao don't understand Ah San's thinking and culture that they can't figure it out. It seems that the values ​​and lifestyles of Han people and Romans are different. It seems that they can't accept it.

It's not that Ah San doesn't defend cities, in fact, not all cities are worth defending.

For example, there are not many high-ranking officials or specialties in the city, and they are all f*cking untouchables. Is it true that the noble soldiers shed blood to protect the untouchables?

Another example is that the city wall is only three meters high and not thick. How should a similar city be defended?
Generally speaking, in Ah San's military history, there were very few defensive battles. The victory or defeat of a war depends on the outcome of field battles. Compared with city offensive and defensive battles, they are better at field battles, especially Forest warfare and mountain warfare.

"We didn't fire bombs because we didn't want to fight it as a decisive battle." Huan Wen would not be satisfied with just destroying 30 enemy troops: "This is a good battlefield. Maybe we can start reclamation after the battle?"

It means that after the land is beaten this time, a lot of blood will be drunk, and enough corpses will be buried, and the land will inevitably become extremely fertile.

"The enemy army didn't respond to the cavalry we sent behind them." Yuan Qiao was very puzzled: "This makes it difficult for us to withdraw the cavalry we sent out."

Huan Wen miscalculated on this point.

In any war in Zhuxia, as long as conditions permit, they will inevitably send their own troops to the enemy's rear, usually to interfere with the enemy's logistics line. If they seize the opportunity, they will also eat some scattered enemy troops, and even capture some villages and towns. , City or something to add more pressure to the enemy.

"They have nearly [-] cavalry and [-] chariots. They have no shortage of mobile troops. Who would have thought that they would ignore our cavalry." Huan Wen smiled wryly for a while, shook his head and said, "I heard that An Shi (thank you) Ann) is also very uncomfortable in the west of the Western Regions."

Yuan Qiao laughed subconsciously.

After Huan Wen arrived here, he made many mistakes, and some people who thought Ah San would react were wrong.

I don’t know if it’s luck or I should laugh. There is no difference between Huan Wen’s wrong predictions and right predictions. Not only he doesn’t understand many of Ah San’s behaviors, Ah San probably doesn’t understand what he is doing, and there are many things that Ah San doesn’t understand What the Han people are doing or wanting to do.

Differences between nations will always exist, especially for two nations that have just met, it is difficult to understand each other's thinking, and there is no reliable basis for guessing, no matter what you do, you rely on guessing.Only when you have been in contact for a long time, you are familiar with each other, you know the social reality of the other party, you know the cultural characteristics of the other party, and you can be a little more reliable when you want to guess something.

Huan Wen didn't need to really understand Ah San, he only needed to conquer Ah San.

Once the Han people successfully conquer Ah San, Ah San needs to understand the living habits and social values ​​of the Han people at that time, otherwise Ah San's individual will never have a ladder to climb up.

In the final analysis, weak and small nations have nothing to understand, and weak and small nations will be eliminated if they do not understand strong nations.Only some people who just eat that bowl of rice will devote themselves to understanding it. Usually, it is because of work needs that they need to unravel the mysteries of some vanished nations for mankind.

For three consecutive days, the Han army advanced steadily and steadily. On the fourth day, the Asan finally had a new reaction.

"I hope the Xindu people can give us a surprise." Julian has never seen such a boring war, one side attacked without delay, and the other side defended and retreated without delay, but did not move forward: "Let us Seeing the application of large equipment by the Seres people, they have many more types of equipment than us, but it is a pity that they did not use gunpowder."

It took a full four days before Ah San's commanders argued and came to a conclusion. Their unanimous opinion was to carry out a limited partial retreat, take the initiative to let the camp area open to make the Han army form multiple salient parts, and then try to see if it can be done. Eat up some of the Han troops who protruded.

"General Siris clearly noticed the intentions of the Xindu people." Flavis was talking about the troop mobilization of the Han army during a certain period of time: "It's just that I don't understand one thing, the Siris army can clearly use the letter degree People's slow response can achieve greater results, and even have a chance to defeat Xindu people in one fell swoop, why are you playing so conservatively?"

"I got a message from Angel Wang." Julian looked around, drove away the unrelated people around him, and said in a low voice: "Since the war began, the casualties of the Serisians have only been less than two thousand. Some of them were just wounded, and very few people died in battle. They could count the dead bodies and captives of the Xindu people as many as 4000 people. It was the Xindu people who realized that the Seris army had arrows to cover them and evacuated in time, otherwise There will be more."

Flavis found that his tacit understanding with Julian was getting better and better, and he understood what Flavis wanted to express.That is, since the enemy army can be wiped out in large numbers at a slight cost, and will even be so leisurely until the final victory is achieved, there is no need to increase unnecessary casualties.

"In three days, they fired at least 80 arrows." Flavis didn't need to lower his voice deliberately: "I found that the Siris army didn't think about how many arrows they fired at all. Their logistics is too strong."

Julian was also very frightened by this. He shot 80 arrows in just three days. He knew that a large part of the arrows could be recycled, but he couldn't help but guess that the Han army should shoot them in a war. How many arrows, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
