Chapter 1055 Return journey

Chapter 1055    Return

As the war ended, the Qin army began to withdraw to the Great Wall in an orderly manner.

Anyway, the main force of the Hu people has been annihilated, and it doesn’t make any sense to stay 600,000 infantry on the grassland.

After all, the vast grassland is not suitable for long-term garrisons.

Otherwise, it would be an astronomical number for people to eat horses every day.

If you stay for one or two more months, I am afraid that the national strength of the Qin Dynasty will be dragged down!

Only by returning to Qin as soon as possible can we relieve the pressure on food and grass.

After the reform, the Qin State implemented a farming and war system, which was a soldier in wartime, and cultivated farming when there was no war.

In addition to leaving behind necessary defenders, everyone else will go back to plow the fields.

At that time, the Qin State's official office will greatly reduce the consumption of food and will also generate hundreds of thousands of people to grow food.

Besides, with the current situation, there is no need for so many infantry troops.

The domestic situation is stable, and it is enough to leave enough soldiers to guard the Qin Dynasty.

Besides, even if we have to go to war, we will no longer fight in large groups like before.

The battle situation started again, and it was also completed by the cavalry from afar.

Even if you want to go to the Western Regions, you can't let the army hike across the grassland on foot, right?

The marching speed of the 600,000 infantry is very slow. How much food does it take to cross the vast grassland?

With the current national strength of the Qin Dynasty, it will definitely not be able to support it.

Even this battle is just a barely supply.

Otherwise, Qin Xuan would not have been so cautious and strived to make the world apart with one battle!

Because the Great Qin infantry Army cannot afford to go through the expedition!

As for the remnants of the Xiongnu and Donghu, 150,000 elite cavalry were left to advance and clean up.

Raid at the speed of cavalry and eliminate the remnants of the Hu people at the fastest speed.

Moreover, cavalry combat alone has much more mobility.

150,000 elite cavalry can also obtain supplies by fighting and raising war.

Then we can still drive a large flock of sheep and war horses back to Qin!

The food and grass of Daqin were only enough to support this war, let alone traveling farther west.

Although it is a pity that I have reached the depths of the grassland, I can reach the Western Regions by just continuing to advance halfway.

Going back now means giving up halfway, and you will have to take more roads to the Western Regions next time you go to.

But the situation did not allow it, so I had to go back.

Qin Xuan also felt a pity in his heart, but the power of the Qin Dynasty did not allow it...

Originally, the battle to destroy Hu was expected to be within eight to ten years.

After more than ten years of accumulation, there is enough national strength to support the army's expedition.

You can't worry that the army will collapse in a month or two due to lack of food and grass.

At that time, I could afford it.

If the national strength is enough, we can also go to the Western Regions to take a walk!

But now, it's not possible.

The Western Regions are far away, and it is risky to pull the supply line too long.

Moreover, once the army goes to the Western Regions, it even adopts the method of fighting to support the war.

I'm afraid it's difficult to support the consumption of millions of people!

If you don’t grab enough food and grass for your return.

It is estimated that only cavalry can return to Daqin alive.

And the 600,000 infantry will be buried in the vast grassland because of the food is out of stock!

If it weren't for Maodun's murder of his father, the balance of the situation would have been destroyed.

The Qin State will not rush to send troops at this time, and will advance the war ten years later!

But if you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity to bring all the Hu people together!

With such a good opportunity, how could he miss the First Emperor's talent and domineering character?

Besides, if Maodun is allowed to grow bigger at this moment, with his greedy ambition, God knows what it will develop in ten years.

For Qin, if he wants to destroy him, it will probably cost a greater price!

After all, Maodun's ability and ambitions are there.

Now with the suppression of Qin, everyone will immediately annex the two companies when they see the opportunity.

In the past few years, this guy really destroyed Donghu, and it is not impossible to unify the grassland.

You know, at the peak of the Huns, there were 300,000 elite cavalry!

So many cavalry have been uniformly deployed.

If you want to eliminate it, it will be difficult.

Then, it may not be as difficult as the battle during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, and it will cost a heavy price.

But the Qin Dynasty might be able to defeat the Hun cavalry with its excellent weapons effortlessly.

But it is probably difficult to win as big as this time and wipe out all of them!

The best result is probably just to expel him from the grassland.

Qin Xuan did not have the patience to get entangled with the Huns who fled to Mobei for the second half of his life.

Fortunately, the ending was perfect.

All the main forces of the Hu people were completely wiped out according to the plan, and the high-level nobles were basically captured.

All that remains on the grassland is a small number of left-behind cavalry, as well as the elderly, young, women and children.

With the strength of 150,000 elite cavalry, you can easily wipe out all of them!

Qin Xuan rode on the back of the horse, looked back at the mighty returning army, feeling so proud.

This time, the army led to wipe out the Hu people and completely eliminated the hidden dangers of guarding the border.

This credit is huge!

The position of prince will be unshakable!

What remains is to develop step by step, while accumulating national strength, slowly building cities on the grasslands, migrating the people of the Qin Dynasty.

As long as it reproduces for several generations, the vast grassland will completely become the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

With this natural large ranch, you can also engage in large-scale animal husbandry and cultivate war horses!

Steadily and advance step by step.

After twenty years, there was no need for the Crusade Expedition, and the Qin Dynasty took the initiative to go back!

Although 150,000 elite cavalry will retreat to the Qin Dynasty after destroying the remnants of the Hu people, the grassland will not leave a large army to guard it.

However, with the intimidation of the Hu destruction, even if the vast grasslands were vacant, the countries in the Western Regions did not dare to cross the line.

Because, they all knew that it was the territory of the Qin Dynasty and could not be violated!

Even the Donghu and the Xiongnu fought against them so that they had to form an alliance to resist, not to mention facing the Qin State, which was even stronger and even the Hu people destroyed!

As long as a red line is drawn, countries in the Western Regions will never dare to cross the line.

Otherwise, they would not be able to withstand the anger of Daqin!

It would be thankful that the Qin Dynasty would not destroy them, let alone provoking them...

In the team, two rough men wearing Qin costumes rode on horseback.

Although the two were wearing Qin people's clothes, their beards were obviously different from the Qin soldiers around them!

The two of them rode on horseback and looked back from time to time.

Although they knew that their tribe members were at the end of the team, they were escorted by the Qin army as prisoners.

But the number of Qin troops was too large and the team was too long, so there was no end to see at first glance.

Looking around, I saw all the Qin army, and I couldn't see their tribe members at all.

"Oh~!"

Imori withdrew his gaze and sighed weakly.

Although the prince of Qin gave them good treatment, he could even ride a horse instead of walking.

But when the Huns were destroyed, my face was frowning.

Who is willing to destroy the country?
Chapter completed!
