Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 907, Stop the war with killing
Outside the city of Herat, Huo Yun, the Ming general who led [-] cavalry all the way here, was riding a horse and carefully inspecting the entire city of Herat with a telescope.

"It's really a huge and strong city. It's not difficult to take it down, but the casualties will definitely be heavy."

After careful study, Huo Yun couldn't help frowning.

It is obviously unwise for cavalry to attack the city. It is not difficult to break through the city gates and walls. You only need to use a lot of gunpowder, and there is still hope that the city gates and walls will be blown open.

But after the explosion, the cavalry entered the city to fight, obviously unable to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, and there would be a large number of casualties at that time, which is definitely not possible.

"There must be a lot of people in the city. We just need to besiege them for a while, and wait for the arrival of our Ming follow-up army. It will be easy to take this city of Herat by then."

"The Timurid Empire is already in decline. If the city of Herat is taken down by us, they will not be far from extinction."

Next to Huo Yun, the deputy Liao Yuan said with a smile.

"Wait a few days?"

"When others eat up all the meat, we will only be able to drool dryly."

Huo Yun asked back immediately.

The Ming Dynasty implemented a compulsory military service system, and also implemented a military merit system in the army. If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, you must make military merits, and the brothers under your command also rely on military merits to obtain the land, money, slaves, titles, etc. they want. Wait.

Just work here, and when the brothers in the other army finish their work, they can only gnaw on the chicken rib in front of them.

"What should I do?"

"We can't use cavalry to attack the city, can we?"

When Liao Yuan heard this, he panicked immediately.

Because of Huo Yun's battle last winter, he had already been made an earl, but Liao Yuan's contribution was not enough, and he was not enough to be a knight.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether we fight Herat or not. The purpose of our attack on the Timurid Empire this time is not to attack this city of Herat."

"Our [-] cavalry from the Ming Dynasty entered Central Asia and attacked the Timurid Empire, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Shaybani Khanate, not for the sake of gaining or losing this city or place, but to stop the war with killing!"

"We need to fully understand the above sentence, and combine it with our Ming Dynasty's situation in Central Asia, then we will be very clear about what to do."

Huo Yun thought for a while and said.

"Stop the war with killing?"

Liao Yuan immediately became thoughtful.

At the level of Huo Yun and Liao Yuan, generals no longer simply think about combat matters. They need to think about the meaning above, and fully consider the situation of Daming in various places, so as to complete the tasks assigned above. .

"Yes, to stop the war with killing, this is an order from our Great Ming capital. If I guess correctly, this must be the meaning of His Royal Highness today. It should also refer to Liu Jin Liugong's opinion."

"Now Your Majesty is sick and is concentrating on treating the disease. The crown prince and the princesses in the court are in charge of the affairs of the world. Although the crown prince is young, he has always liked military affairs. He has studied and trained in the Daming Royal Military Academy, and has Liu Gong as his assistant. His vision is natural. It's very long-term."

Huo Yun nodded and said: "Last winter, my Ming Dynasty entered the Western Regions and the Hezhong area forcefully, swept all directions, and seized the most fertile Hezhong area in Central Asia very domineeringly."

"That's why we have received hatred from the large and small tribes and khanates in Central Asia. In addition, our Ming's culture, religion, etc. are completely different from these tribes, khanates, etc. in Central Asia."

"So these tribes, khanates, etc. in Central Asia not only have deep hatred with our Ming Dynasty, but also have huge cultural and religious conflicts."

"Not to mention, in the Western Regions alone, because of the comprehensive Great Ming policy formulated by Mr. Liu, many tribes in the Western Regions have fiercely resisted, and fierce resistance has erupted everywhere."

"Sometimes the clash of cultures and ideas is the scariest thing."

"Not to mention the Central Asian region, the Hezhong region is a piece of fat that everyone needs to eat, plus the conflict and hatred between itself and our Ming Dynasty."

"Duke Yang dispatched some of his troops to the north of the Altai Mountains, and these people immediately began to eye the Hezhong area of ​​our Ming Dynasty. Among them, the Timur Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate were the most active."

"It's easy to understand the meaning of "killing to stop war" above, that is, the countries and tribes in Central Asia that must be killed with knives are bleeding into rivers. They will tremble when they hear our Ming Dynasty, and kill them until they see our Daming's dragon. The flag will continue to kneel down and kill them until they dare not make any attempt against our Daming Hezhong area."

"This is the meaning of the above, a bloody killing in exchange for the permanent rule of my Ming Dynasty in the river area, in exchange for long-term peace."

"The Hezhong area has no danger to defend, but it is very important to our Ming Dynasty. There are still millions of immigrants here, so there must be no accidents."

Huo Yun explained in detail to many generals around him.

In fact, to put it in a simple sentence, it is that Daming has not yet gained a firm foothold in the Hezhong area. If he wants to stand firm, he must use a butcher knife to kill the Quartet, until no one dares to have any thoughts about the Hezhong area. In exchange for the long-term stability of the Hezhong area.

"The end will understand!"

When Liao Yuan heard it, he immediately understood.

No wonder it is said that this city and place are insignificant at all. Even if the city of Herat is captured now, Da Ming will not be able to rule for a long time, and this place is far away from Da Ming.

Daming is already tired of ruling the Hezhong area, let alone ruling the city of Herat. If that is the case, then what do you want this city to do.

"Liao Yuan listens to the order!"

Huo Yun immediately spoke upright.

"the end will be"

Liao Yuan immediately saluted respectfully.

"I order you to lead ten thousand iron cavalry to sweep away the major tribes of the Timur Khanate, sweep all sides, and kill all men who are taller than the wheel!"

Huo Yun ordered with a serious face.

"The last will obey!"

Liao Yuan replied respectfully, and after finishing speaking, he began to gather troops and horses, and left Herat like a whirlwind, and killed all the important tribal areas of the Timur Khanate.

As for Huo Yun himself, he still surrounded the city of Herat with [-] troops.

He has already received information on his side that there is the last power of the Timurid Empire in the city of Herat, which must not be let go.

As for whether the [-] men could annihilate the army of the Timurid Empire in Herat, Huo Yun didn't have the slightest doubt. If he couldn't win, he was ready to retire from the army.

Liao Yuan led [-] cavalry to leave the city of Herat, and began to sweep across all sides of the Timur Empire like locusts. The [-] army did not sound like a lot, but when it turned into a killing machine, the entire Timur Empire The entire empire began to be stained red with blood.

On the vast basin grassland of Fergana, it is the season when the water and grass are fertile and the cattle and sheep are flocking. The herdsmen enjoy the best time of the year.

However, soon, with the sound of rumbling horseshoes, a bright yellow Daming dragon flag fluttering high appeared above the ground line, and then raised the scimitar, like a whirlwind, towards the vast grassland and killed the Daming Iron Cavalry .

Like locusts crossing the border, and like a plague, where the Ming cavalry passed, the originally busy grassland suddenly became dead silent, the clear river was stained red with blood, the blue pasture was stained with gunpowder smoke, and the high mountains were crying silently.

The poet who traveled far and wide wrote this.

That should have been the happiest season of the year.

The melted water from the snow-capped mountains gave birth to green grass and nourished the earth and the people of God.

However, when the bright yellow dragon flag floated by.

Blood stained the earth, and the flames of war blackened the grassland.

Wives lost their husbands, children lost their fathers.

God has abandoned his people.

Daming people are like demons, they kill anyone they see.

They are like a plague, where everything they pass by withers.

Compared with the Mongols, they are more ferocious and ruthless.

From then on, as long as you see the bright yellow dragon flag and hear the voice from the east, even a child will stop crying immediately.

Daming's iron cavalry, with two war horses per person, does not need to carry much food and grass. Compared with real nomads, they are more pure.

Wherever you go, wherever you kill, you also eat wherever you go. It is the season when cattle and sheep are fat, and no matter whether it is a human or a horse, there is no need to worry about food and drink.

The war horses galloped, and wherever they went, blood flowed and killed countless people. The entire Timurid Khanate and Shaybeni Khanate were shrouded in this cloud. Countless tribes, large and small, began to migrate continuously to remote mountains. A remote desert area to avoid the killing of the Ming cavalry.

At the same time, it was also the first time for countless tribes, large and small, to feel the horror of the huge eastern empire. This memory will be deeply imprinted in their souls and bones, and written into their history and poetry.

Just like the Mongols massacred in Central Asia back then, all the tribes knew how terrible the Mongols were, and thus established the long-term aristocratic status of the Mongols in Central Asia.

Here, since ancient times, only killing can make people remember you and deeply admire you. As for the so-called benevolence and morality, it doesn't work at all, it will only make people think you are easy to bully and weak.

After all, since ancient times, this place has been a place where strong clans and strong people are born in large numbers, and it is also a place where the most powerful civilizations, countries, and races have been invaded.

From the earliest Aryans, they relied on killing to become the rulers and nobles of Central Asia, and most of the nobles in Central Asia are still descendants of Aryans.

Then came the Alexander Empire, the Guishuang Empire, the Persian Empire, and then the Arab Empire from the Middle East. They conquered this place with their scimitars and Bibles, and left a deep imprint on the souls of everyone here.
