Chapter 827: Momentum (I)


In addition to nearly 100,000 people killed in battle, the remaining 200,000 people, including Xue Qiaoe, the crown prince of the Seljuk Empire, became prisoners of war of the Xia army, and the Xia army also captured a large number of war horses, which together with all the captured grain, grass, ordnance, gold, silver and jewelry in the city of Termi, were enough to support the continuous war of Li Zhe, the king of Qin, for the next three to five years.

After the surrender of the coalition forces, a very serious problem was placed in front of Li Zhe, the king of Qin, and Li Yi, the capital of Anxi, that is, how to deal with the nearly 300,000 prisoners of war, some prisoners of war have starved to death or died of illness, this is 300,000 people, and a large amount of grain and grass will be consumed every day, and now for Li Zhe, grain and grass are extremely precious.

In the camp of the Xia army on the south bank of the Jihun River.

Li Yi said to Li Zhe, the king of Qin: "Lord Wang, although we have won the war now, there is still a very serious problem in front of us, we have 300,000 prisoners of war, even if they are not fed, the daily need of grain and grass is very huge, and it is completely a waste. ” Li Zhe, the king of Qin, looked at Li Yi and asked, "What does that uncle mean?"

"Kill them all."

Li Yi said with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Li Zhe, the king of Qin, was shocked and said: "It's too brutal to kill 300,000 people."

Li Yi said to Li Zhe, the king of Qin: "My lord, how can there be no cruelty on the battlefield since ancient times, they are enemies, and kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. ” Li Zhe, the king of Qin, thought about it and said, "Uncle, why don't we use them for us?"

"How is this possible for us to use, and what if they rebel then," Li Yi questioned Li Zhe, the king of Qin.

"Since the little nephew let them belong to him, there is naturally a way for them to die for us, which is nothing more than coercion and temptation in four words."

Li Zhe, the king of Qin, said to Li Yi; "These 300,000 prisoners of war can't all be alive, we want only the strongest, and only the strongest among them can survive."

"The prince means to let them kill each other," Li Yi said to Li Zhe, the king of Qin, with a shocked face.

Li Zhe's idea Yan King Li Qing had used it in the Wa Kingdom, of course, Li Qing did not tell anyone about this method, Li Zhe's idea can only be said to be a coincidence, since it was finally decided, then it began to be implemented, the next day presided over by Li Yi, under the coercion of the Xia army, 300,000 coalition prisoners of war began to kill each other in order to survive; For the selection criteria, Li Zhe initially set 100,000 people, but at Li Yi's insistence, it was finally decided that only 50,000 people would be recruited.

These 50,000 people all survived by stepping on the corpses of their companions, and some of them thought about rebelling, but in the end the Du Xia army was killed, and the methods were so cruel that all the rebels were divided by five horses, and all the servant troops watched, in order to intimidate them, of course, giving them a stick will also give them a sweet date, as for the reward is nothing more than money and women.

After the threat of the coalition army was eliminated, Li Zhe, the king of Qin, officially announced the establishment of the new Qin state in the city of Telma, which was also the first of the seven major vassal states to announce the formal establishment of the first brother vassal state, after the establishment of the new Qin state, Li Yi, the protector of Anxi, officially resigned from the position of the protector of Anxi, and at the same time, the nobles who were fiefdomed in the new Qin country also began to rush to the command of Li Zhe, the king of Qin; With the establishment of the New Qin State, the New Qin Army was also formed.

The New Qin army had a total of 250,000 troops, including 200,000 regular troops and 50,000 servant troops; The 200,000 regular army included two heavy firearms corps and two elite cavalry corps, with a total of more than 600,000 horses; These are the entire family of the current Qin king Li Zhe, after the establishment of the servant army, the new Qin army began the journey south, while the Anxi army and the tribal alliance army returned to the north of Tiemen Pass.

The current territory of the new Qin State is still very narrow, from the desert in the west to the Pamir Plateau in the east, connected with the Tiemen Pass of the Great Xia Dynasty in the north, and the Jihun River in the south; It's just that this territory is only temporary, and as the army of King Li Zhe of Qin continues to attack the Seljuk Empire in the south, the territory of the new Qin State will continue to expand.

When the Qin king Li Zhe fought with the Cypriot army in the city of Termaze, Li Xiang and Li Siqi, the king of Yong, also led the army to storm the city of Nisa, which is the only strong city in the northwest of the Seljuk Empire, there are veteran Sevic and general Orel in the city, and there are now 300,000 Serb troops in the city, but now the Serbian army has reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and under the bombardment of the heavy artillery of the Xia army, the wall of Nissa City can no longer be supported.

North of the city of Nisa, inside the camp of the summer army.

"Lord, I just got the news that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has captured Telmi, and eliminated 600,000 people of the Serbian army and the Ghaznavid coalition army, and now His Royal Highness the King of Qin has officially announced the establishment of the new Qin State, which is tentatively in the city of Terma, but now the new Qin army has gone south to attack the Black City of Bari."

After Li Siqi entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he said to Li Xiang, the king of Yong.

King Yong Li Xiang said: "It seems that we have to hurry up, our conditions here are much better than the second brother, if we can't capture Nisa City tomorrow, then the king really has no face to see the second brother." ” In the early morning of the next day, when Li Xiang led the Xia army to attack, the Xia army suddenly found that the Serbian army that was originally trapped in the city of Nisa had escaped, and later learned that the Serbian army had fled to Appialverd, and after taking the city of Nisa, Li Xiang only left part of the troops to garrison, and then returned to Yulongjie Chicheng to announce the establishment of the new Yongguo and establish the new Yongjun; Thanks to the foundation left by the original Xia Emperor Li Bingchang, the Xinyong Kingdom basically inherited the territory of the original Xinjin Kingdom, including the entire Khorezm region and the Kipchak grassland.

After all, although there is a foundation left by the new Jin Kingdom, but now the new Yongguo is not very strong, the new Yong army is now only 150,000 troops, of which the firearms army is only 30,000, and the artillery is even less than 30 guns, and the grain reserves of the new Yongguo are not much, so the most important thing for Li Xiang now is to train the army and reserve grain and grass.

And Qin King Li Zhe is not so idle, the new Qin army immediately launched a fierce siege when it arrived in Barihei, Barihei is an important city of the Serbian army in the south of Jihun River, and the city also stores a lot of grain and grass ordnance of the Serbian army's reserves, of course, these cannot be compared with the city of Ter's maze, the number is about one-third of the city's maze, but this is also a lot of baggage, the important thing is that Barihei is not hiding in the Serbian army.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the servant army of the New Qin Army took this important town in only one day, and the servant army suffered less than 3,000 casualties, and the New Qin Army did not hurt a single one; After taking Balihei, Li Xiang, the king of Qin, and Li Yi, the minister of the new Qin state, divided their troops to sweep to the east and west respectively, and Li Yi led 20,000 servants and 50,000 elite groups of the new Qin army to attack the cities and castles of Kalipur, Sapurgan, Andiquand and other places from the western route army; Li Zhe, the king of Qin, led the rest of the main army to attack Talihan, Barharan, Baluwan and other places, which were already the territory of the Ghaznavid Dynasty
