Outside the city of Herat, Ming general Huo Yun, who had led 20,000 cavalry all the way here, was riding a horse and carefully inspecting the entire city of Herat with a telescope.
"It is really a huge and strong city. It is not difficult to defeat it, but the casualties will definitely be high."
After studying it carefully, Huo Yun couldn't help but frown.
It is obviously unwise for cavalry to attack a city. It is not difficult to break through city gates and walls. You only need to use a lot of gunpowder, and there is still hope to blow open the city gates and walls.
"But after the explosion, the cavalry entered the city to fight. It was obviously impossible to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry. There would be a large number of casualties. This was 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 army. Then it will be easy to capture the city of Herat."
"The Timur Empire is already in decline. If the city of Herat is captured by us, they will not be far from destruction."
Next to Huo Yun, deputy Liao Yuan smiled and said.
"Wait a few days?"
"When others eat up all the meat, we will only be able to drool."
Huo Yun immediately asked back.
The Ming Dynasty implemented a compulsory military service system, and the military also implemented a military merit system. If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you must achieve military merit, and your brothers must also rely on military merit to obtain the land, money, slaves, titles, etc. they want. wait.
If they just work here, when the brothers in other armies finish their work, they will only be able to gnaw on the chicken ribs in front of them.
"What should we do?"
"We can't use cavalry to attack the city, right?"
When Liao Yuan heard this, he immediately panicked.
Huo Yun had already been granted the title of earl because of last winter's battle, but Liao Yuan's merits were not enough, and he was still counting on his achievements in this battle to earn a title.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether we attack Herat or not. The purpose of our attack on Timur's Empire this time is not to attack the city of Herat."
¡°We, the Ming Dynasty¡¯s 50,000 cavalry, entered Central Asia and attacked the Timurid Empire, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Shaybani Khanate, not for the gain or loss of this city or place, but to end 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 it will be very clear what to do."
Huo Yun thought for a while and said.
¡°To end a war by killing?¡±
Liao Yuan suddenly became thoughtful.
When generals at the level of Huo Yun and Liao Yuan no longer just think about combat, they need to think about the meaning above, and also fully consider the situation of the Ming Dynasty in various places, so as to complete the tasks assigned above. .
"Yes, to end wars by killing, this is an order from our Ming Dynasty capital. If I guess correctly, this must be the intention of His Highness the Crown Prince. This should also refer to the opinions of Liu Jin and Duke Liu."
"Now that your Majesty is ill, he is concentrating on treating the illness. The prince and the princes in the court are in charge of world affairs. Although the prince is young, he has always liked military affairs. He has studied and trained at the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy, and has Liu Gong as his assistant. He has a natural vision. It¡¯s very long-term.¡±
Huo Yun nodded and said: "Last winter, our Ming Dynasty forcefully entered the Western Region and the Hezhong area, swept across all directions, and very domineeringly captured the most fertile Hezhong area in Central Asia."
¡°Therefore, we have inherited hatred from the large and small tribes and khanates in Central Asia. In addition, our Ming Dynasty¡¯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 and hatred with our Ming Dynasty, but also have huge cultural and religious conflicts."
"Not to mention anything else, just in the Western Regions, because of the comprehensive policy of Ming Dynasty formulated by Liu Gong, many tribes in the Western Regions have put up fierce resistance, and violent resistance has broken out everywhere."
"Sometimes, cultural and ideological conflicts are the most terrifying."
¡°Not to mention Central Asia, the Hezhong region is a fat place that everyone needs to eat, coupled with the conflict and hatred between itself and our Ming Dynasty.¡±
"Gong Yang transferred some of his troops to the north of the Altai Mountains. These people immediately began to eye the Hezhong area of ??the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the Timur Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate were the most active."
&nFor the first time, tribes large and small felt the terror of the huge empire from the east. This memory will be deeply imprinted in their souls and bones, and written into their history and poetry.
Just like when the Mongols massacred people in Central Asia, all the tribes knew how terrible the Mongols were, and this also 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 will not work at all. It will only make people think that you are easy to bully and that you are weak.
¡°After all, since ancient times, this has been a place where powerful clans and powerful people have emerged. It is also a place where powerful civilizations, countries, and races have suffered the most invasions.
From the earliest Aryans, they relied on killing to become the rulers and nobles of Central Asia. To this day, most of the nobles in Central Asia are still descendants of Aryans.
Then to the Alexander Empire, the Kushan Empire, the Persian Empire, and then the Arab Empire from the Middle East. They conquered this place with their scimitars and Bibles, leaving a deep mark on the souls of everyone here. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
