The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 676
"If you want to go with us, go ahead, but you have to be mentally prepared. This time we are attacking the Western Region.

Do you know what the Western Region is like?That place is full of desert.

When the strong wind blows, the sky is filled with yellow sand and it becomes a sandstorm.

And the sun's rays are very strong, and it's very likely to burn your skin.

It will be very hard anyway, and the conditions are far worse than at home! Lin Hai said seriously.

I had never thought about attacking the Western Region before, and I promised them that I would take them with me when fighting in the future.

But the situation changed too quickly.

It was because he had taken a fancy to the Hotan jade in the Western Regions that he had to conquer the Western Regions.

The most important thing is that the rebels have fled to the Western Regions. If they are not wiped out all of them to avoid future troubles.

These rebels will cause trouble to Daxia sooner or later.

They must be wiped out while Daxia is at its strongest.

"As long as I follow you, no matter how hard it is!" Qiaoer said immediately.

"Since the conditions are difficult, we should stay with you so that we can take care of you." Lin Ruoxue also said.

"I want to catch Mo Han personally and avenge our Turkic people." Shaoyao Yin gritted her teeth tightly, with a look of hatred in her beautiful eyes.

Mo Han really caused so much harm to the Turks and killed so many Turkic people.

Shaoyao has been looking for opportunities to take revenge with her own hands.

Now the rebels were cornered.

As long as they defeat the breakthrough, they will completely cut off the rebels' chance of escape.

Of course, Peony will set off with the army.

Since he wanted to go with him, Lin Hai had no choice but to agree.

But in order to avoid having a bad impact on the army, he asked them all to change into men's clothing and follow him as bodyguards.

You can't be so arrogant with a woman in front of you, the impact is really bad.

Go as soon as you're ready.

Lin Hai and others sat in the carriage together, looking at the map sent from the front line.

"According to the news that came over, the Western Region has made preparations for war. They have cleared many places without leaving a single person.

Many wells were also sealed, and there was no water source at all after arriving in the Western Regions.

It seems like they want to trap us alive inside! "

Lin Hai said lightly

"What are your plans for this situation?" Yuhuashi asked.

Lin Hai smiled slightly: "The Western Regions thought that after our Xia army left, they would look for their troops for a decisive battle.

If this is the case, of course they will lead the way.

But they underestimated the strength of our Xia army and have they understood how we fight.

We used to occupy the Western Region, so why should we seek a decisive battle with their troops? "

After hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Hai with doubts.

Isn't it a matter of finding the main force in the place, completely wiping them out, and then occupying the entire Western Region?

Yuhuashi reacted quickly and suddenly realized: "So this is your plan!"

"That's right, we are heading to the Western Region to fight steadily.

Capture wherever you hit.

Find a water source and set up camp.

Wait until the enemy takes the initiative to find us.

As long as we occupy all the places where we can find water.

The army in the Western Regions will be defeated by itself. " Lin Hai explained formally.

Anyway, Daxia has gunpowder as a weapon, and its defensive capabilities are even stronger.

The rebels took the initiative to attack simply seeking death.

This time the troops were sent to specifically search for water sources and stationed there.

Instead of actively looking for enemy troops, try to occupy cities and territories as much as possible.

Slowly reduce the area where enemy troops move.

In particular, there are a few places in the Western Region with large amounts of water resources.Just use the advantage of the army to occupy all the main water sources.

You can control most of the people in the Western Region.

Without water sources and the support of the people, the army in the Western Regions would not be able to sustain it for long.

This leads to civil unrest.

Self-defeating.

The main purpose this time is not to eliminate the rebels, but also to destroy all the armies in the Western Region.

annex all their territories.

Lin Hai knew that the Western Region was a huge treasure, with many mineral deposits buried underneath.

It will be of great benefit to future generations.

“This is the largest water source in the Western Region, and there are also some water wells.

As long as these can be taken back, the Turkic army will naturally come to us.

All you need to do is push the opponent back, and it won't take long for you to defeat yourself. "

Lin Hai pointed to the wells and oasis on the map and said.

"This is a good idea! The army in the Western Regions is far inferior to the Turks.

Moreover, the Turkic war horses could not fully exert their advantages in the desert.

Cut off their water source and you will be in chaos first! "

Yuhuashi also very much agrees with this method of fighting.

The march was slow and unhurried.

Lin Hai also had many horse-drawn waterwheels specially built to transport water.

Must be fully prepared.

Avoid any surprises.

If anything is lacking in the Western Region, water must not be lacking.

He did not rush there as quickly as possible, deliberately leaving a chance for the people from the Western Regions to prepare.

Lin Hai has already calculated that the Western Region will focus on protecting water sources.

It would be easier for the caravan sent there to get information.

Find all their water sources.

More than ten days later, the army arrived at the border of the Western Region.

The weather has been getting hotter and hotter, and water consumption is quite large every day.

If not for the large number of water trucks built in advance and continuously delivered.

It is really difficult to support the army.

Under the scorching sun, wear thick armor.

Many people were panting from the heat. Under such circumstances, they could not even use half of their strength in battle.

I could only keep drinking more water, but I was still hot and sweating profusely.

"No wonder even the Turks have almost never used troops against the Western Regions, the conditions here are too harsh.

Even if they were defeated, it would be of no use to the Turks. "

"It seems that it is of little use now, but it will be an endless treasure for future generations." Lin Hai replied, standing on the carriage and looking into the distance.

It's all endless yellow sand, with no end in sight.

"How do you say this? Are these jade stones going to be mined for generations to come?" Princess Chenxi was listless from the heat. She was lying against the carriage and fanning with a fan.

The armor had already been taken off.

"What you don't know is that there are many minerals such as coal, iron ore, and copper mines buried underground.

It's just that we don't have the ability to mine it now, or the cost of mining is too high.

And the fruits grown in this place will be particularly sweet.

Otherwise, why would the wines from the Western Regions be so famous?
The wine made from their grapes is much better than ours in Daxia. Lin Hai explained with a smile.

"You have never been to the Western Regions, how do you know so clearly?" Shaoyao felt very incredible.

"Ahem, this has to involve geology! As long as you know the general terrain and the condition of the surrounding soil and stones, you can roughly calculate it." Lin Hai found an excuse to fool him.
