sweeping the world

Chapter 872 The heart is so tired

If it is reinforcements from the sea, there will be no accidents in a short time.

If we talk about other reinforcements, I wonder if the Han army going north from Pingman Xiaowei's headquarters counts?

The army that landed at Asan was Huan Wen's. The exact number was an exaggerated 74, including servants and slaves. However, more than half were slaves. The real Han army was only 14, and the rest were servants. .

Invading a place, occupying land, recruiting enemy prisoners of war, and recruiting young and strong civilians, there is never a shortage of puppet troops.

It is a coup to gather the young and strong in the occupied area to the greatest extent, and use this method to control the most unstable factors.To put it bluntly, it is to control the source of troops (unstable factors). Even if it is for nothing, as long as it can be monitored, a little cost is nothing compared to maintaining stability. It is even a good thing to use them to maintain law and order.

It is a very correct thing to use the puppet army to maintain law and order. Find them some jobs that are not difficult and can be domineering. On the head of the army (that's why the little devils will come up with so many puppet troops).

What the Han people should ensure is that they will not lose on the battlefield, otherwise the puppet troops who were originally very obedient must have some thoughts.

For example, they feel that the rule of the Han people in the mainland of Asan is about to come to an end, and the puppet army shouted "people are in the Han camp and their hearts are in Asan", or "it has always been hypocrisy and deception", and if they are shameless, they can say "we are trying to save the country". , you can become a national hero or a pillar of the country with just one turn.

As for what the puppet army did in the past, for the sake of stability and harmony in the post-war regime, the authorities will definitely selectively forget about it anyway.

"The rear is very stable." Yuan Qiao has been paying attention to the rear of the front line: "We are in an offensive posture, and the battle situation is also that we are constantly advancing. The slave army is more obedient and well-behaved than before."

The Han people regarded the local Asan as a slave army, but there was a more formal name called the Imperial Association Army, and the name was given by Liu Yan who was far away in New Chang'an.

It would be a lie for Huan Wen to say that he is not afraid of moths coming out of the battle ahead.Otherwise, he would not have only dispatched [-] county soldiers and [-] servants to the main battlefield, leaving the same number of county soldiers and servants behind, and only transferred [-] slaves to the main battlefield to do chores .

After all, they went deep into the enemy's territory and came as invaders. Except for a very small number of their own people, any local people were either obvious enemies or potential enemies.

"Very good." The place where Huan Wen is standing now is the high raised body of a nest cart, with a very wide field of vision: "Ah San on the opposite side didn't realize that we eliminated their ambushes, right?"

"Hand-to-hand combat seldom happens. If you find a place, you just fill it with smoke. The movement is not big, but the smoke column is abnormal." Yuan Qiao is not completely sure: "The enemy didn't have much reaction, no I don't know if I found it."

In the distance, arrows rained all over the sky, most of them were fired by the crossbowmen of the Han army, and Ah San could only occasionally fight back.

As the war continued, the interlocking posture of the long front became more serious. Looking at the differences in the colors of military uniforms and flags, the Han army already had several obvious protrusions.

Since Ah San's counterattack was not resolute, there was no fierce resistance. There were very few melee combats, and the fighting did not evolve into a street fighting mode, which really made Huan Wen heave a sigh of relief.

Huan Wen hadn't figured out what Ah San was thinking, he didn't resist resolutely and didn't retreat, and he almost couldn't help but push him straight away several times, only holding back when he felt that the time was wrong.

"Tonight, try to lure as many enemy troops into the trap as possible." Huan Wen had never fought such a battle before, and he tried not to defeat the enemy troops that seemed to collapse easily: "We must make the enemy troops The commander believes that even if their operation fails, it will still cause us heavy damage or big trouble."

For this Yuan Qiao can still guarantee to do it, it is nothing more than making the movement louder, sending an appropriate number of troops on the front line back to the rear, and then constantly moving his own side where the enemy's field of vision can see. Actions of dead soldiers.

"Uncle Yan, tell me..." Huan Wen seldom hesitated, but in recent days he has repeatedly muttered, wondering if he is not bold enough: "If we defeat this enemy army in the shortest time, can we Catch their asses and run into the king of the enemy country, defeat them in one go, and end this war?"

Yuan Qiao stopped what she was doing and didn't answer Huan Wen's words right away.It's not that he hasn't thought in this direction. It doesn't seem difficult to defeat the current enemy army, and it's not even difficult to control the direction of the enemy army's rout, but...

"Yuanzi, as a general, it is difficult to have a certain and safe strategy of battle. You can only choose the strategy with the greatest chance." Yuan Qiao didn't address Huan Wen's official position and title, which meant he was speaking as a friend rather than a subordinate: " The main purpose of the fight this time is to force Samadragupta to speed up to the battlefield."

Huan Wen nodded silently.He knew that Yuan Qiao's unspoken words were that defeating the current enemy forces might frighten Samudragupta into not coming at all. Then the only way they wanted to deal with Samudragupta was to attack Fahrenheit City.

That night, probably the darkest time before dawn, there was a sudden commotion on the long front, followed by fierce shouts of killing.

The movement was naturally made by the Han army themselves, but the problem was that the Asan's didn't know.

Ah San thought it was an ambush that disturbed the Han army, and it didn't take long for Ah San's camp to respond. A large number of Ah San rushed out of their control area and rushed towards the Han army. direction.

"I didn't think Xindu was stupid before, but now I look at it..." Xias really didn't know how to describe his feelings: "Didn't they find that those places were too dark? Didn't they realize that the resistance they encountered was very dark?" Not firm?"

Julian and Xyas were on the same wagon.

Julian has a relatively reliable explanation for Ah San's stupidity: "The Xindu people took the initiative to attack the Pingman Captain's Department of the Sires twice, and both times the entire army was wiped out. The nobles died, and the captured Captured. If it were us, we would definitely not let those smart Xindu people go back, maybe the smart people in Xindu were lost in those two wars."

Xyas hesitated for a moment, thinking it was absurd, but apart from Julian's statement, there was really no way to explain Ah San's nervousness.

"As far as I know, we will never fight if we don't fight at night." Julian knew this was no secret: "It's not that I don't want to fight at night, but most soldiers are blind at night."

Xias nodded silently, and the Persians were in the same situation.

Perhaps it should be said that the vast majority of people in most countries (nations) in the world have night blindness, which is a disease of lack of essential vitamins.

At night, the vast majority of people can't see clearly or even see things, so there is no large-scale night battle. Even if there is a night battle, it will concentrate on a small number of soldiers with relatively better night vision to fight harassment battles.

The Greeks conducted a night raid of 1000 people more than 2 years ago. As a result, the army had just left the camp. They were so lost that they didn’t know where they were, and they were pushed to the absolute chaos of chaos, even because of extreme tension. Our own people started to fight each other, and the enemy didn't touch a single hair. Of the [-] Greek troops who fought, only a few thousand remained when they returned to camp the next day.Not long after, that is, at noon the next day, the enemy army attacked in a large scale, and less than a thousand Greek troops fled in desperate boats. (Real battle example, Honor forgot the name of the main general for a while)
Some of Ah San who rushed forward with their heads depressed were holding torches, but most of them absolutely did not know where they were in the camp, and they did not encounter the Han army and fell into confusion. All they could think about was "Where am I?" ?” and “What am I going to do?”.

The sound of shouting and killing that was still in full swing gradually subsided, and suddenly there was a sharp piercing sound of "咻咻" in the sky, and Ah San, who had been thinking about "Where am I?" and "What am I going to do?" Need to worry no more.

The rain of arrows made Ah San fall into darkness forever, or his head was filled with "pain! pain! pain!" and "I'm going to die... I'm going to die... I'm going to die...".

For the high-level decision makers of Asan who did not approach the front line in person, they can only guess from the movement from a distance. The picture in their minds is that the noise that just stopped for a while is that the ambush was almost wiped out by the Han army, comforting themselves Those ambush soldiers were just to disturb the Han army, and the ones who charged behind were the main course prepared for the Han army tonight.

What the high-level decision makers of Ah San didn't know was that the soldiers of Ah San who charged up really became the "main course". They only knew that the noise coming from the front was getting more and more intense. to the blazing scene.

Shouting and shouting to kill... mainly the noise, which lasted until there was fish white in the east and stopped completely.

After the light came on, Ah San's high-level decision-makers stayed far away and climbed up the archery tower. Naturally, they couldn't see clearly, but they could generally tell that the Han army was cleaning the battlefield.They judged from the color of the military uniforms how the battle damage on both sides was, and found that the remains of the war dead who were being carried away seemed to be half-fifty?
If they were not so sure after moving the remains of the war dead, they later discovered that the Han army was actively withdrawing from the occupied camp. It may have been because they dared to send troops to attack, but even if they did, only a few soldiers escaped. return.

"Last night..." Sareman Dovidos Cacedon tried his best to hide his confusion, and asked cheerfully, "Is it because of our actions last night that the camps captured by the Han army started to retreat?" They retreat?"

It is very rare for Ah San to force the Han army to retreat once. Even if some people feel that something is wrong, they will not say it right away. More people feel that they seem to have done something amazing and join in the silly fun.
