Chapter 585: Shache's Defeat
The imperial court has changed, and the situation in the Western Regions has also changed.
Xin Sheng has been very depressed recently.It can even be said that since they took Loulan, Xin Sheng has been depressed.
All the Qiang people entrenched around Loulan were wiped out with overwhelming force, and the remaining Qiang people fled far away. The Qin army completely took the territory around Loulan into their hands.
According to Ying Gang's previous requirements, the Loulan regime can be maintained, but Loulan is not allowed to build an army.
Dell was a little reluctant at first, but facing Qin Jun's armored sword array, he had no choice.
Loulan City is the capital of the Loulan Kingdom, and of course the only city in the Loulan Kingdom.
This is basically the state of more than a hundred countries in the vast Western Regions.
A city is a kingdom, this is the customary thinking that people in the Western Regions have passed down for thousands of years.
At the beginning, more than a hundred countries formed an offensive and defensive alliance with each other and fought against each other from time to time. Now, the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions under the rule of 36 countries have to accept the rule of Qin, and they have completely become the subjects of a powerful empire. The people of Great Qin, This sudden change made people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions extremely uncomfortable at the beginning.
After all, thousands of years of conquests, the Western Regions, surrounded by grasslands and water sources, have seen countless wars and massacres.
Countries are far from reaching the point where they immediately forget past hatred, let alone become a family that loves each other.
Therefore, Xin Sheng did not continue to chase and kill the Qiang people, but stationed an army of [-] in the occupied city.
In order to stabilize these people, Yingzheng ordered the giant merchants from more than ten prefectures in Daqin to unite to form the first merchant group in Daqin, to connect the Western Regions along the newly built Longxi Chi Road to the west, and to trade goods from both sides. .
The purpose of Qin State is very simple, caravans coming and going.It is necessary to drive through Longxi to enter the territory of Daqin to the west or east, and more importantly, Loulan City, a small town by the seaside of Puchang, is actually a group of merchants or even a huge merchant group going east or west. the only way.
The prosperity of business will inevitably bring economic prosperity.What's more, Daqin already had the theory of commercial taxation.
And Loulan City is now the largest city in the Western Regions.Just collecting business taxes from business groups from the West who want to enter the Daqin trade, they will be able to earn a lot of money in the future.
Today, there are two routes from Daqin to the Western Regions. Both routes start from Loulan City. One route goes north, passes through Zihe City, and goes north along the Kongque River to the Tarim River, and then turns south to Shache. City, across the Tianshan Mountains and across the Pamirs into Central Asia.
The other is to the southwest, starting from Loulan City, passing through Milan City, Ruoqiang City, Qiemo City, Niya City, crossing the Keriya River and finally reaching Shache City, and then crossing the Kunlun Mountain Pass and crossing the Pamirs to enter Central Asia.
There are two lines, the easternmost point is Loulan City, and the westernmost point is Sheche City.And Shache City is also the westernmost city on the Great Qin territory.
This is also one of the main reasons why Ying Zheng has been stationing the [-] elite of the Longxi Army in Loulan.
In fact, the most important thing to occupy the Western Regions is to open up the road to Central Asia.At the same time, before Daqin entered Central Asia, let Daqin trade with various slave countries in Central Asia, so that the Qin people can see the world they have described.
Sheche City is the southernmost city in the Great Qin Territory, but it is not the westernmost city in the Great Qin Territory east of the Tianshan Mountains.Outside Sheche City, in a basin at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, there are three other cities, which are the westernmost cities of Great Qin.
However, these three cities were not captured by the Qin army.
On the one hand, it is because these three cities are too far away, and it is difficult for the Qin army to completely cover here, and on the other hand, it is also because the strength of these three cities cannot be underestimated.
Said to be three cities, it can actually be said to be three kingdoms, three kingdoms that are incompatible with the Western Region.
It's just that now the three have merged into one kingdom at the same time.
Kingdom of Oia.
That's right, the king of the Kingdom of Yiya is a woman, and she was also the woman who was rejected by Yingzheng on the spot in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, the former Princess of Loulan Kingdom, Yiya.
If Xin Sheng hadn't captured Shache City, I'm afraid he would never have known that Yiya, a stunning foreign beauty who was rejected by His Majesty the Emperor, would become the last stumbling block for Daqin to occupy the entire Western Region.
When Xin Sheng captured Shache City, he quickly discovered the three small cities entrenched at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.Without any hesitation, Xin Sheng immediately sent three armies, each with five thousand soldiers, to capture the city.
Under normal conditions, only a thousand people or even a team of five hundred masters are needed to conquer a city, and it is enough to take down a city.
Sending [-] troops to capture a small small town was already a prudent move by Xin Sheng after he received the warning from King Shache.
In his opinion, five thousand Longxi troops were enough to defeat or even crush an enemy three or four times his size.
However, none of the countries in the Western Regions could stop the attack of a [-]-strong Longxi Army.
As a result, the three armies retreated at the same time.
This is the first time that the Longxi Army has suffered a defeat on the battlefield since its reconstruction.
In Xin Sheng's opinion, if a small town retreats without success, it is a defeat.
However, Xin Sheng was not impulsive. Some people said that the defeat of two cities is a bit abnormal, not to mention that the three armies all retreated in defeat.
After asking the leading lieutenant, I found out that the army had just arrived outside the three cities and hadn't attacked the city yet, but there was a dense swarm of snakes in front of the army.
But the densely packed poisonous snakes are obviously controlled by people.The three armies of Qin used Qin crossbows to shoot at the same time, but in the end they still couldn't survive the overwhelming wave of snakes. In order to avoid too much loss, the armies of the three armies finally retreated in embarrassment.
If it was a fight with the same people, I am afraid that even if all the fifteen thousand Longxi soldiers died in battle, none of them would choose to retreat. , if you didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, but you were buried in the belly of a snake, then you were too aggrieved to die.
It was the first time Xin Sheng had heard of being able to drive poisonous snakes and also resist the attack of Great Qin's elite army.Unwilling to give up, Xin Sheng personally led the army and chose a small city to test, but snakes from three cities appeared at the same time and almost surrounded Xin Sheng and others.
After repeated defeats and failing to find any place to attack, Xin Sheng had no choice but to write a letter from eight hundred miles to report everything that happened here to Ying Zheng.
