The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"My God, how many corpses are there!"

"Tsk tsk, that's too cruel!"

Zhang Ling and Zhang Gui couldn't help but click their tongues at this beautiful scene. The two of them are businessmen and have seen battlefields, but compared to this, they are nothing compared to this. It is not too much to describe it as a mountain of corpses.

And Zhang Huaimeng and Zhang Feizi are also high-ranking officials of the Dayan Empire, and their determination is much stronger than that of Zhang Ling and Zhang Gui. However, this is the first time for the father and son to witness a [-]-level battle. Blocking.

"Conservatively speaking, there should be 15 corpses!" Zhao Hua said with a calm smile.

Hearing these words, the four of Zhang's father and son couldn't help but glance at Zhao Huagao, 10,000+ corpses were spoken out so lightly, they are indeed the people His Majesty valued.

Ying Chang turned his head to look at Zhang Feizi, and asked with a smile on his face, "Sir, how does Qin Jun compare to Yan Jun?"

Everyone has a heart for comparison, and Ying Chang is no exception. For a long time, Ying Chang has always wanted to know the strength of the armies of the Kyushu countries, but he has never had the opportunity. Now that he has the opportunity to compare with the Yan Army, he will naturally not let it go .

Zhang Feizi fell silent, and after a moment of silence, he talked eloquently: "The iron cavalry of the Qin army led by His Majesty is already an elite cavalry, and coupled with excellent equipment, it is the elite of the elite, that is, the elite king teacher!"

"In the battle just now, the old man witnessed the whole process of the battlefield. It can be said that this Qin army is definitely the most powerful iron cavalry among the kingdoms of Kyushu. Even the Wei army cavalry cannot compare, and the Yan army has three elite kings, He has made great achievements in battle, but if he is against this Qin army, he probably has no chance of winning. This is due to the gap in equipment. In addition, the Great Qin Empire has a large number of generals, so there is no shortage of generals who can fight, so there is no need to worry about being misled by mediocre generals Big defeat!"

"With this Qin army, the Great Qin Empire is proud enough to stand out among the heroes!"

Zhang Feizi's answer was still very objective. He didn't tout how powerful the Qin army was. He focused on weapons and equipment. Ying Chang was very satisfied with this objective answer. Weapons and equipment are also a kind of strength, and they were obtained by investing a lot of money and manpower. , It is not shameful to win with weapons and equipment!

PS: "Ask for a full order, ask for a monthly pass!"

Chapter 393 The Ningta Legion suffered heavy casualties!

"What is the annual military budget of the Yan Empire?" Ying Chang asked immediately. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will win every battle. Now that you have the opportunity to know everything about the Yan Empire, you can't give up this great opportunity. This is all valuable information.

"That depends on whether it is wartime or peacetime. The military budget in peacetime is 600 million taels of silver and 350 million shi of grain. In wartime, the military expenditure is doubled. Compared with the annual fiscal revenue of the Yan Empire, these military expenditures are nothing. !” Zhang Feizi said with a smile on his face.

"Oh? The Yan Empire's annual financial income is nothing!" Ying Chang was a little surprised. The annual military expenditure of the Yan Empire alone was almost half of the Qin Empire's financial income. So much can't be said What the hell, how much money does Yan Empire have!

"The main source of revenue for the Yan Empire is the salt tax. The annual salt tax of the Yan Empire is as high as 2000 million taels, plus other taxes, it is very impressive!" Zhang Feizi answered every question, and answered everything Ying Chang asked. inform.

After hearing these words, Ying Chang couldn't help becoming serious. The Great Qin Empire still has a long way to go. The Yan Empire can compare with the Great Qin Empire, so wouldn't an empire stronger than the Yan Empire crush the Great Qin Empire?

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades need to work hard!

"Your Majesty, the Great Qin has just begun, and there is still a long way to go. I believe that with the Northwest Desert as the background of the Great Qin Empire, the annual financial revenue of the Great Qin Empire will not be low!" Zhang Feizi said with a smile on his face.

Ying Chang nodded in agreement. Indeed, the annual production of cattle, sheep and horses in the Northwest Desert can greatly increase the financial revenue of the Great Qin Empire. After all, such things as cattle, sheep and horses are rare for some empires, especially cattle and horses. , are all priceless things.

And it can also indirectly increase business taxes. I believe that the smart Qin merchants will not give up this opportunity. This is all white silver.

"We must increase the fiscal revenue as soon as possible, otherwise our Daqin will run a fiscal deficit every year, and the treasury will not be able to bear it!"

After this war is over, the economy must be vigorously improved, otherwise the national treasury will really be overwhelmed.

"Financial deficit every year?" Zhang Feizi was stunned for a moment, and asked with a slightly puzzled expression: "As far as I know, since the implementation of the tenth-class peasant system in the Great Qin Empire, a large amount of barren land has become fertile land. It should be considerable, and as for the business tax, the business tax between the Great Qin Empire and the Great Qi Empire should not be low, and the salt tax, generally speaking, as long as there is no corruption in various places, it will not be too low. deficit?"

"Haha!" Ying Chang smiled wryly, "Sir, I don't know something. In order to equip soldiers with excellent armor and weapons, Daqin changed the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War to the Ordnance Department, and expanded the number of craftsmen to 1. Not too low, plus buying materials, you need to invest 1000 million taels of silver a year!"

"In addition to the Ordnance Department, military expenditures are not low. The Yan Empire's 50 army has a budget of 500 million taels of silver, while the military budget of our Great Qin Empire's 30 troops has reached 600 million taels of silver. I don’t know if it’s silver to provide comfort to the families of the soldiers who died in battle, but I don’t know if it’s because the wounded veterans of our Daqin soldiers receive ten taels of silver each year to comfort them, it’s all expenses!”

"In addition to the end of the Western Expedition, we have to plan for the reserve camp, and then a lot of money and food will be spent!" The more Ying Chang said, the more heartbroken he was, especially the plan for the reserve camp, which is simply a gold-swallowing behemoth. , Building a reserve battalion requires money, preparing soldiers requires military pay and food, these are all expenses!

"My God!"

"In this way, the annual national budget should not exceed 2000 million taels of silver?"

"Your Majesty is really willing!"

The three brothers of the Zhang family were shocked. They really did not expect the military budget of the Great Qin Empire to be so large. Not counting other things, the military expenditure alone reached 600 million taels of silver, which was three times the military expenditure of the Yan Empire. No wonder the Qin Army was so Bravery, this is Yan Jun, Yan Jun can also be brave!

Zhang Feizi, the former Prime Minister of Yan, was also shocked by this figure, and he also understood why the Qin Empire was in deficit every year.

"Your Majesty has invested a lot, and the harvest is not small!" Zhang Feizi smiled softly, stroking his beard under his chin.

Ying Chang smiled and said nothing. Investment always pays off, and he has already seen the return. The return is far greater than the investment. Just a short crossbow is worth more than [-] million taels of silver!

At this moment, Zhao Hua stood up, saluted to Ying Chang, and said, "Your Majesty, the general has almost rested. Should the general clean up the battlefield first, or send someone to chase after that straw hat emperor Qi Qituoer?"

Since the Great Wolf Empire established by Zizitor was not recognized by the nations of the Kyushu, the emperor Qizitor was called the Emperor of the Straw Hat by the army officers and soldiers, which meant that he had no real name.

Ying Chang was silent for a while, and then said: "Let's clean up the battlefield first, and stop chasing Qi Qitor for now!"

If Yang Hu acted according to his will, then he would not be afraid of Qi Qituo turning back, and at that time he also heard Qi Qituo shouting to evacuate to the west. In this way, the strategic goal has been achieved, and there is no need to rush to kill Qi Qituo you.

Furthermore, the Qiang migratory army basically walks at a very slow speed. If they run for a day first, they can easily catch up with them.

"Obey!" Zhao Hua bowed respectfully and replied, then turned and left. Ga Luyue and Alona Shunsheng also left immediately.

Next, the Qin Army and the Ningta Army began to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time counted the casualties. After a period of statistics, the Qin Army killed [-] in this battle, seriously injured [-], and only a few were slightly injured. The reason why there are so many serious injuries and so many minor injuries Less, mainly because of the equipment.

The soldiers of the Qin army were seriously injured, fell off their horses or were trampled by the rebels, minor injuries were twisted to the feet, some twisted their hands, and their throats were wiped when they died in battle. After all, the throat is the only fatal point of the soldiers of the Qin army, so it is He was taken care of by the wolf cavalry.

Compared with the 2 casualties of the Qin Army, the Ningta Army was a bit miserable. A total of [-] were killed, [-] were seriously injured, and more than [-] were slightly injured. , Ying often reminds people that they will be counted as military exploits at that time, and their relatives will be exempted from slavery.

The heavy casualties of the Ningta Legion illustrate two points. The first point is the importance of equipment. The second point is that the strength of the wolf cavalry cannot be underestimated. They can cause more than 7 casualties to the enemy under panic, which shows their strength Unusually, if the Qin army hadn't participated in the battle, the Ningta army would probably have been defeated by the wolf cavalry.

PS: "Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a full reservation, and ask for three daily requests. I beg all the big guys to click on the little hand who voted for the recommendation ticket and monthly ticket, and tap the button for the full reservation"

Chapter 394 Chase and Kill!

The Qin Empire had a total of 18 casualties, and killed [-] enemies, of which [-] belonged to the wolf cavalry, [-] belonged to the old and weak Qiang people, and the [-] wolf cavalry was wiped out.

For this reason, the Qin army seized its [-] horses, plus the horses vacated by the Ningta Army's death, a total of [-] horses were seized. It is a pity that because the weapons of the Qin army are all armor-piercing weapons, [-] chain mails cannot be used, and only [-] chain mails can be used barely.

About two or three hours later, the battlefield could not be cleaned up except for the blood on the ground, and the corpses and stumps had been cleaned up. After cleaning the battlefield, the scorching sun that hung high in the sky a few hours ago went out and fell into the west mountain .

Not only did the scorching sun go out, but the [-] seriously wounded soldiers of the Ningta Army and the [-] seriously wounded soldiers of the Qin Army also burned out their lives, and none of the seriously wounded soldiers were rescued. Without a military doctor, coupled with the environment in the western desert, it is as difficult as heaven for a seriously wounded soldier to survive!

Before night fell, Ying Chang ordered the whole army to light a fire and cook. With an order, smoke rose from the battlefield. After the food was ready, Ying Chang and the entire army began to gobble it up. People don't eat a mouthful, and even when the father and son watched the soldiers eating meat, they inexplicably thought of the bloody stumps.

If it weren't for the concentration of the four of them far exceeding ordinary people, it is estimated that the four of them would vomit in public.

At night, at the moment of Xu Shi!

Handsome account!

In the commander's tent, Ying Chang was the commander-in-chief. At this time, he had already taken off the blood-stained Dragon Emperor's armor, and was only wearing a thin red inner robe. His shiny black hair was also scattered on his shoulders. , Ga Luyue, and Alona Shunsheng were also wearing inner robes, and the blood-stained armor was taken off and cleaned.

The four Zhang's father and son were still wearing gray cloth clothes, looking very poor.

"Cough cough!" Ying Chang pretended to cough, moistened his throat, then looked around at everyone, and said, "Qiqituoer's army has been wiped out by us, and now he has no teeth and no claws." The wild wolves are no longer a threat to Daqin!"

"But Zizitor still has a large population. Although it can't pose a threat in a short time, as long as there is enough time, Zizitor will definitely make a comeback. No matter how big the threat is, we should kill this threat in the cradle !"

After the words fell, everyone nodded in agreement. Qiqitor still has nearly a million people, and there are a million people. The speed of the Qiang people's resurgence is very fast.

"Originally our strategic plan was to drive Qiqitor to the southern prairie and block it. Now we have achieved this strategic goal. However, I found that the southern prairie is still too close to the mainland of the Qin Empire. The cavalry If you run overnight, you can go from the southern prairie to Xiguan in ten days!"

"So, in order to stifle this threat, I have decided, at all costs, to drive Qiqitor to extinction!" Ying Chang said with a firm expression.

Ga Luyue walked out of the queue, bowed down respectfully and confidently to write a report: "The last general invites the battle on behalf of the warriors of the Ningta Legion!"

A wild wolf without teeth and claws is just a sheep, and it has nothing to fear. He believes that as long as the Ningta army drives Qi Qitor to extinction, it will be a great achievement, and they will get whatever they want.

"Okay, I'll leave the matter of chasing Qiqitor to the Ningta Legion. I hope I won't be disappointed!" Ying Chang said with a half-smile.

"Your Majesty will definitely not be disappointed!" Ga Luyue shouted solemnly.

"Very good!" Ying Chang smiled lightly, "Then I will wait here for the triumphant return of the Ningta Legion!"

"Your Majesty, just wait for the good news from the Ningta Legion!"

.......

At dawn the next day, Ga Luyue and Alona Shunsheng led [-] Ningta warriors out of the camp, marched all the way west, and chased and killed Qi Qituoer, while the rest of the soldiers stayed in the camp and rested Resting and recuperating, waiting for the triumphant return of the Ningta Legion.

I believe that when the Ningta Legion returns triumphantly, the [-] lightly injured soldiers of the Ningta Legion will recover their combat effectiveness, and by then the active strength of the Ningta Legion will increase from [-] to [-].

Just when the Ningta Legion was on the expedition, the cavalry of the Xiguan Qin Army under the leadership of Yang Hu successfully wiped out the [-] troops led by Ulan, and completely wiped out the so-called Great Wolf Empire Army, making Qiqitor a Commander Bald.

After Yang Hu wiped out the [-] wolf army cavalry, he did not continue to advance because the logistics could not keep up. After all, Xiguan did not have a large number of war horses for them to use as mobile granaries.

Time passed slowly, and the days passed. Qiqitor was undoubtedly a smarter person. He probably guessed that the Qin army would continue to pursue, so he split the migrating army into ten groups, and the ten migrating troops went in different directions. Walk.

After discussing with Alona Shunsheng, Ga Luyue and Alona Shunsheng divided their troops according to the footprints left by the Qiang migrating army. Qiqituoer divided his way, and they divided their troops to chase him. Anyway, Qiqituoer is a wild wolf without claws. , but each of them is equipped with a strong bow, which is not in vain.

Under the pursuit of the Ningta Legion, a magnificent feast of flesh and blood officially begins!

"Boom!"

"No, Qin Jun is catching up!"

"It's the Huns, run, run!"

"Abu, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!"

"Woooo!"

"You lowly Ximo people, die!"

"puff!"

"We fought them!"

"Yes, if you fight with them, there are only a thousand of them!"

"Boo! Hah! Hah! Hah!"

In the area to the north of the Mofeier prairie, wailing was everywhere, corpses were strewn across the field, and blood flowed into rivers. Countless old people, children, and women of the Qiang nationality were brutally slaughtered by the warriors of the Ningta Army. The wailing was also mixed with angry roars. resist.

But their resistance is doomed to be in vain. Facing the Ningta Army, which is brave and good at fighting, and their shooting skills are no worse than theirs, killing them is like killing chickens and dogs. The Qiang people without the protection of the army are weak and pitiful. Unfortunately, no one have mercy on them.

Fast forward a month, on the 14th of the first month of the 24th year of Shengqin, wandering in the extreme west of the southern prairie!

The Land of Extreme West is located in the western part of the southern prairie. It is a forbidden place for human beings, because it snows heavily all year round, and the ground is covered with snow. It can be described as a world of ice and snow.

PS: Chang Zifei and Ying Chang sat in the gazebo in the back garden of the palace, Ying Chang said worriedly: "Chang Aiqing, what if the book friends don't vote for me?"

"There seems to be a few eunuchs in the palace..."

Chapter 395 Boundary Mountain!

What is Boundary Mountain, the boundary between heaven and earth, here is the end of the world, how high is Boundary Mountain?No one knows the exact number, only the elders say that Jieshan is so high that no one can climb it. How long is Jieshan?No one knows, anyway, the Qiang people only know that the western border of the Western Desert is bounded by boundless mountains.

No one knows what world is on the other side of the boundary mountain. They only listen to stories told by the elders that the other side of the boundary mountain is the world of gods, where the gods live. They are advised never to try to cross the boundary mountain to disturb the gods.

However, at this time, a long team was walking towards Jieshan, and they were the migration army of the Qiang people!

Originally there were 100 million Qiang migratory troops, only a few 10 people were left after being hunted down by the Ningta Legion, one out of ten!

"I can not make it...."

"Let's go, leave me alone..."

While the migratory army was walking, some people fell down. Almost every moment, some people were frozen to death or starved to death. These two men had no cavalry, and their hard-earned horses were frozen to death.

If it weren't for Qi Qituoer's martial arts, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on with his body.

"Father, we are here!"

Gan Fengyun stopped with a pale face, his feet were deeply sunken in the snow layer, then he raised his head and glanced at Jieshan Mountain not far in front of him, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, daunting!

"Don't stop, keep going, we're going to cross the boundary mountain and find a new home!" Zizitor continued to walk forward with a firm expression, stepping on the thick snow layer one foot after another.

The original plan was to migrate to the southern prairie, but the Qin army still did not let them go, chasing and killing them, resulting in no place for them in the southern prairie. Therefore, their only hope is to turn over Cross the boundary mountain!

Gan Fengyun rested for a while, then continued to move forward, and the rest of the Qiang people did not give up their progress, they all gritted their teeth and followed up.

The closer to the boundary mountain, the lower the temperature, and the difficulty of breathing gradually. More and more Qiang people fell to the ground muffled and became a dead body in the snow. The Qiang people had no time to cry or mourn. Instead, they quietly Pull off the corpse's clothes and put them on himself to keep out the cold.

"stop!"

"Don't run!"

At this time, roars came from behind the migrating army. Hearing the sound, countless Qiang people, like frightened birds, quickened their pace. There is no doubt that it was the warriors of the Ningta Army who were chasing and killing them.

The warriors of the Ningta Legion are all on foot, wearing four or five layers of fur coats, holding bows and chasing after them. The warriors of the Ningta Legion are also tenacious, and they are still chasing here. Ga Luyue and Alona Shunsheng The two commanders are also among them.

Due to the thick snow layer, the warriors of the Ningta Legion were very slow, and it was difficult to catch up with the Qiang migrating army. However, with their presence, the Qiang migrating army had to continue to move forward. The more they advanced, the more people would be frozen to death. Kill the enemy indirectly.

"These Qiang people are really tenacious, they still run!"

"Yeah, isn't it good to be our dead soul?"

Ga Luyue and Alona Shunsheng discussed as they walked. They also admired the tenacious will of the Qiang people. Many brothers froze to death.

Hunger and cold, with the boundary mountain in front and the pursuers behind, the Qiang people are facing the crisis of life and death. If they cannot cross the boundary mountain, the Qiang people will disappear in the long river of history since then, as if they have never appeared before.
