Chapter 678: All the military boots step on are Chi

With the advent of a new day, the dark clouds in the east have dissipated, and the sky is full of belly when the sun rises.

   At a glance, plumes of smoke rose from the beach and inland. It was the two armies who buried their pots and cooked food in the wee hours of the morning. When the sun rose, they had already started cooking, but the firewood had not been completely extinguished.

   Zanput Warren led people to set off under the sun's rays. He didn't dare to go to the Han army, but he sent someone to contact him before he got a reply.

   At the time of breakfast, the fighting on the land was temporarily stopped, but it made the noisy land have a halt, but the fighting on the sea still continued.

   The battlefield is naturally a mess. There are discarded debris everywhere, and there are some lying corpses on the ground. Especially the corpses at the front of the battle between the two armies are the most, and there are arrows that fill the ground.

   The person who met Zampte Warren was Si Hongzhuang.

Si Hongzhuang squinted his eyes when he first saw Zamput Warren. Zamput Warren was a Kshatriya of the Gupta dynasty, and there is no lack of white people in the Kshatris of the Gupta dynasty. It can be said that the Han people who have been ravaged by the Jie tribe for decades have a natural sense of hatred towards the white people.

Zampte Warren’s dress looks normal to Ah San. He has a colorful robe, and there is no shortage of gold pendants on his body. Jewelry inlaid with jewelry can be loaded as much as possible. Anyone who sees it has to feel like The word "local tyrant" comes out. He didn't seem to wear armor from the outside, but actually wore two layers of chain mail inside his robe. There was also a plate armor on the vital part of his chest, and a machete hung from the belt around his waist.

   The two met in a tent in the front position of the Han army. Zampte Warren carefully observed the way on his way. The fortifications of the Han army camp appeared densely packed, and the soldiers seemed very relaxed.

   A bit of military common sense understands that the key is that the soldiers of an army are relaxed. At least it indicates that the morale of the army is acceptable, and it is not easy for a morale army to lose.

Zampt Warren also faced one point squarely. Because of the exchanges between the Asan civilization, the Mediterranean civilization, and the Central Asian civilization, each has a shadow of the other. It is somewhat familiar to the civilization of the Central Plains. But it seems "independent" everywhere, whether it is from the dress or the hair accessories, at least the civilization that can tie the hair is only in the Central Plains dynasty.

   "My master comes from the southern part of the great empire. He is the largest nobleman in the area. He has a large area of ​​land and servants. He has more wealth than Shashuo and can fight against the lion..."

  Si Hongzhuang listened to the translator constantly boasting about Zanput Warren's life experience and ability, and his cheeks twitched. How could he not know whether to comment on a thick-skinned or shameless one.

The problem is that regardless of the Asan civilization or the civilizations of Central Asia and the Mediterranean, they usually put all kinds of "halos" on themselves. It is a process to show off your status, wealth, force, and reputation. More often, it's more arrogant.

"The officer is the Captain of the Great Han Pingman." Si Hongzhuang raised his chin slightly, only introduced the official position without talking about the title, and asked blankly: "When the two armies were at war, what happened to you? , But to surrender?"

Zampt Warren was waiting for the translation to be completed, confirming that the translation content was correct, and said: "This is our sea. The country’s land is an uncivilized and barbaric act."

   "We are here, we have fought, we have taken it." Si Hongzhuang twitched the corner of his mouth, and said disdainfully: "Don't say whether there can be a land of the Lord, the land that the Han's army boots will step on is Han soil."

  Zanput Warren is not an unlearned Kshatriya. He was stunned after hearing the translation. What he thought of was Caesar's sentence in Rome, "I come, I see, I conquer."

Caesar has been expanding outward. Crassou and Pompeo in the same period are also doing this. The Big Three in Rome have said similar things. Generally speaking, they believe that the powerful party can naturally occupy more land, and it cannot be justice. And evil.

  Si Hongzhuang saw Zampte Warren stunned, and said impatiently: "Since you are here to surrender, you can leave."

"The empire is a powerful country. We rule the Indus and the Ganges. The country is prosperous and has a large population." Zampte Warren frowned and looked at Si Hongzhuang, and continued: "We have an army of 400,000, anytime, anywhere. One million more troops can be organized."

  Zampute Warren doesn’t seem to be bragging either. If calculated by national power, the Gupta dynasty has a large area of ​​grain production, so there is really no shortage of domestic food. Furthermore, apart from the Gupta dynasty being at odds with Vajdagarh, it also maintained a prosperous trade with neighboring countries and Rome, and it was absolutely wealthy in terms of financial resources. Even the untouchables together should have a population of about 25 million. Under the background of not treating untouchables as human beings, they will not hesitate to arm untouchables to die, let alone armed one hundred. Thousands of untouchables, another one million thing can be done.

  The Han Kingdom has limited knowledge of the Gupta Dynasty, but it is more or less to detect some information, including the wealth of the Gupta Dynasty, and the fact that the Gupta Dynasty is indeed the No. 1 rule in South Asia. It is difficult to judge whether it can organize a million army.

"That's very good." Si Hongzhuang was not even as frightened as he should be. On the contrary, he licked his lips and said with excitement: "The big man has already cleaned up the surrounding people. "

  Zanput Warren felt that the Han Empire general in front of him was sick, and he was the one who was very sick.

  In the eyes of any country or nation, war is never a trivial matter. On the contrary, it is a major matter concerning the rise and fall of the country and the survival of the nation. If there is no need, no one will easily start a war.

The    Gupta dynasty was located in South Asia. If they were not counted as the Guishuang Empire, they had no conflicts with the Han Kingdom in East Asia, let alone any conflict of interests. And if the Guishuang Empire had a conflict with the Han people, it would have happened hundreds of years ago. The Gupta dynasty was established on the ruins of the Guishuang Empire. There is nothing wrong with it, but the Gupta dynasty is not the heir of the Guishuang Empire.

In Zampt Warren’s view, the distance between the Han and the Gupta dynasty was too far away. It was because of some madness that I thought of the Lao Shi’s expedition. How did the Gupta dynasty destroy the country?

   "Any war is always motivated." Zampt Warren tried his best to endure his anger, and in a willingness to communicate well, he asked, "What did the Han Empire want to gain by launching this war?"

   Si Hongzhuang knew what he wanted, but it seemed a bit embarrassing to say it, and he would appear to be a little fussy, staring blankly at the puzzled Zampt Warren without giving an answer.

The Han and Gupta dynasties were unable to pass. The reason was that they knew that the Gupta dynasty was rich in grain here, and Han was about to face a severe drought. Under the drought, most areas would have no crops. They were thinking of plundering to stop losses. From the very beginning, he held on to destroy the Gupta dynasty, but he didn't have such a big thought.

Later, the Han army came to Asanyang and established a base on the southern coast of Piao. They successively found out more information about the Gupta dynasty, and discovered that the Gupta dynasty was not a country that can be destroyed by a single blow. On the contrary, the Gupta dynasty was in this area. It is the overlord, and it is really rich in food, and it is still an extremely rich country. The original idea of ​​grabbing one and catching one has changed.

The hegemony of any region should not be underestimated. It should be treated with sufficient caution. Therefore, not only the invasion force has been increased, from the original one standing army to two standing army, and the servant army, which was originally only 20,000, also increased to 40,000. Coming here as General Zhengnan, Huan Wen represented that the Han Dynasty really regarded the Gupta Dynasty as a dish, rather than as a handy grass.

   At this time, there was a notification from outside the account, and Si Hongzhuang allowed people to enter, and the information about the battle at sea was also revealed.

   The Han Guo fleet and the Gupta fleet started fighting at night, and they were still fighting in the early morning. During the night, the large ships of the two sides did not lose many ships, but the two sides of the ship and the warship lost relatively large.

After the new day arrived, the navies on both sides who had been fighting for the whole night were very tired regardless of whether they accepted it or not. Especially those who were in charge of paddling the oars were the worst. Many of them did not even listen to their arms, but it was because the speed of the big ship dropped. , So that the battle became more and more fierce.

Just now there was a large-scale battle between the fleets on both sides. First, the long-range weapons greeted back and forth, and then a warship collided and jumped to the side. It was tantamount to a local decisive battle. Si Hongzhuang reported that he had lost 17 ships. , The Gupta fleet lost 16 ships, and the damaged ships on both sides are still counting and estimating, and the Gupta fleet retreats proactively to announce the victory or defeat of the local decisive battle.

   In the current naval battle, it is not easy for a warship to sink. Even if the ship burns up, if the cabin of the hull has no holes, it should be that the water surface burns to almost damage the bottom of the ship to cause it to sink.

The fleet commanded by Fu Wei lost 17 ships, and only four of them were sunk. The remaining ships were captured due to the defeat of the gang jump. The next 12 ships were burned down, and only one was brought back by the retreating Gondo; Sixteen ships were lost, seven were sunk, and nine were captured.

The    Gupta fleet took the initiative to evacuate. Naturally, it was unable to take away the captured ships, and it was impossible to rescue the people who fell into the water. The Han army was able to do the above things.

Judging from the mutual losses, the Han fleet is at a disadvantage, but in any case the Gupta fleet chooses to retreat. The local decisive battle is the Han army's final victory, which Katluk Karp hopes to break. The blockade intention failed.

  Zanput Warren after listening to the translation, he was proud of his own loss less than the Han Empire, but on the other hand, he was disappointed at the failure to break the blockade. In fact, he knows very well that in any confrontation, you can't just look at the loss. Whether the desired result is achieved is the key.

Failure to penetrate the defense is tantamount to a difficult situation for a fleet that is blocked on the coast. The next Gupta will definitely continue to organize a breakthrough until the fleet's ships are lost to a certain extent, or there is no confidence to break through, before they will admit it. Fail.

   "Is there anything unsaid?" Si Hongzhuang asked casually, waving his hands: "This school lieutenant is very busy with military affairs and has no time to chat."

   "I will stay here." Zampt Warren at least knew that the Han Empire would not kill the messenger, and said bluntly: "No matter what the final result of this war is, I will stay on behalf of the Empire."

   Si Hongzhuang was surprised, he didn't understand what the idea of ​​A San was. He changed his mind, and he really needed someone to convey his meaning, smiled and said, "So, wait for you to be near the school."

The army’s food has long been eaten, and the Han army on the land is ready to attack. As the commander of this battle, Si Hongzhuang will naturally not stay in the tent, but he will not take the lead in the charge. After all, It is the commander of this battle, and the charge is what the frontline soldiers should do. His responsibility is to take the overall situation and deploy troops.

  Zanput Warren followed Si Hongzhuang out of the tent and saw the Han soldiers standing around him with awe-inspiring expressions. Seeing that the number of Han troops was really large, he immediately noticed that the Han troops were making a big move.

Si Hongzhuang needed enough height to see the overall situation, but he couldn't find a hill. He had to keep a distance from the participating troops and stand on the front line when necessary. The three- and four-floor-high nest carts became observation places. ~lightnovelpub.net~The attack of the Han army on the Gupta troops at the beachhead broke out in the beating of war drums. After a neat "Han Army Mighty" battle horn, the servants at the forefront began to move forward and follow up. The queue is the soldiers of the standing army.

Zampte Warren, who is also standing on the nest cart, has enough height to observe. He has seen the servant army of the Han country yesterday, and he is not curious about this group of slave soldiers who are dressed in all kinds of clothes. Feeling, on the contrary, he is full of curiosity about the Han army, who is wearing red and black shirts and armor.

No matter how bad the standing army’s soldiers are, they will also have a leather armor. The standard equipment on the body is based on the type of unit. After repeated selection of the best, whether it is from the height or the body, they are all excellent. Each one has at least dozens of battles. All are aggressive soldiers.

"Armed infantry?" Zampt Warren attaches great importance to a large group of armored phalanxes. When he sees the strange knives or broadswords in the hands of those heavy infantrymen, his cheeks twitch: "One after another. One is the same as a tower."

  The heavily armored infantry of the Han Army are selected from tall people, with an average height of 1.9 meters, which seems to be very deterrent.

   Speaking of, the Chinese Miao...especially the Chinese Miao in the Central Plains. The average height from the Warring States Period to the Three Kingdoms is really not bad. It is not difficult to find a young man with a height of about 1.9 meters.

While Zampt Warren was still observing, the chanting "Long live the emperor" and "Long live the heavens" in his ears screamed at him. He turned to look and saw that The Han archers and crossbowmen covered, and at the same time the servants at the forefront also launched a charge.
