In the days of wooden ships, what is the most feared thing in the fighting is undoubtedly the fire attack.

Whether it's fire attacks on land or water, in fact, fire attacks are not so fun, and the weather and geographical advantages are fundamentally indispensable.

There was a sudden strong wind on the sea, and the wind is still beneficial to the Han fleet. Originally, only some warships that were on fire rose up to attack the enemy, and the prepared ships launched the fireboat charge. If the wind direction did not change, the results of the battle had actually been shown. The difference is how many ships each party loses.

"It's over." Huan Wen is not completely unfamiliar with water warfare. He saw that Gupta's fleet was in chaos under the fireboat's offensive, and then he continued to say, "Go down the mountain."

The coastline began to have dense plumes of smoke rising to the sky again. It was a burning ship emitting thick smoke. The two warships in the first combat position, the fire of their hulls, made it clear from afar.

Not only did Li Mai let the sterns attack, and even the warships of his fleet continued to move forward. As the space for the activities of the Gondo fleet was continuously compressed, the ships crowded up and the Gondo party looked even worse when the fire attacked.

There were too many ships that burned, and people in the rear could only see dense smoke. More and more ships on the other side began to wash up the beach. Some soldiers and sailors who abandoned the ship, whether in small boats or swimming, were deadly. Move to the beachhead position.

In the battle on land, the Han army kept pushing forward and down, and it took about an hour and a half. The Gupta side was squeezed toward the sea for about a mile.

The heavy infantry of the Han army had exhausted their physical strength and retreated to the rear. Shield soldiers organized the shield wall to slowly advance, covered by some melee infantry, and a large number of crossbowmen kept dropping arrows behind the shield wall.

There were originally more than 15,000 people in the small beachhead position, and some people continued to go up to the beachhead, which caused a crowded phenomenon. Under the continuous coverage of the Han archers and crossbowmen, they suffered heavy casualties and too many people. The body was bleeding, and there was a bright red stream of blood on the ground heading towards the sea.

Katlukkap has come ashore. He stared at the sea for a while, turned his head to look at the land, the sky was like a rain of arrows, and his ears were full of screams and wailing. He closed his eyes and opened it again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Request the Han army for a truce."

There is no other way. The battle on the sea has changed suddenly, and the battle on the land has been at a disadvantage. Katlukkap has no hope of winning this battle. He has also seen bankruptcy when he breaks through. The beach is facing unilateral killings, and support is no longer worthwhile. It is better to admit defeat to the bachelors.

When Si Hongzhuang saw Aptra, Aptra knelt and said a bunch of words.

Through the translation, Si Hongzhuang knew that the black charcoal in front of him represented the highest commander in this battle, and he was looking for Zampte Warren.

"We admit that we have failed. Please order to stop the attack." Zampte Warren's waist was completely bent: "Please also introduce your general to discuss the ransom."

Si Hongzhuang smiled and said, "Order your soldiers to put down their weapons."

Zampte Warren has nothing to be hypocritical, and he said a few words to Aptra. After Aptra left, he said to Si Hongzhuang: "We are a civilized country and we abide by the civilized world's rules of engagement. Please also the Han Empire, which has a long history and civilization, to respect the rules of engagement."

Speaking of it, the development time of the Asan civilization is really no less than that of the Zhuxia civilization. On the contrary, the development time of the Asan civilization is longer than that of the Zhuxia civilization. It is not only the Asan civilization. In fact, among the four countries known as the four ancient civilizations, Babylon has the longest history, and then there is ancient Egypt. The Asan civilization and the Zhuxia civilization are not much different in time, but the Zhuxia civilization Definitely no longer than the Asan civilization. (fact)

Babylon was established around 3,500 BC, and is the oldest known civilization. The official founding of the country took place in 2006, but writings had already been invented before that. As the oldest civilization, Babylon has quite a few firsts (there are still archaeological texts), and even created a building comparable to mythology (the sky garden), but it was destroyed by Assyria in the back.

Although there is still Egypt at present, it must be said that Egypt has long since declined. After the Ptolemaic dynasty, Egypt has been a civilization that has been conquered repeatedly. As an ancient civilization, Egypt lost its autonomy after being conquered by the Romans. Later it became a colonized civilization. After the rise of the Arabs, it even merged Egyptian civilization. As a civilization, Egypt has actually died, that is to the modern age. There is no such thing as "deception".

The most glorious period of Asan civilization was in the era of King Ashoka (Maurya Dynasty), but Asan was glorious once, then fell into a split, and was conquered by the Dayue people (Kishuang), and then split after the collapse of the Kushuang Empire. It has become more than a dozen countries, both large and small. Among them, the Sundanese dynasty has the largest territory. General Psiamituo, who founded the Sundanese dynasty, killed the last king of the Maurya dynasty, Prihadurada, Sunda during the military parade. The dynasty was established. (185 BC)

In fact, the Sunda Dynasty did not last long, and it soon lost the two river basins. Even the Baichen Dynasty (Andalo Dynasty) on the land of Asan was inferior, and the Baichen Dynasty was actually one of the vassal states of the Eastern Han Dynasty. .

Almost at the time when the Eastern Han regime fell, regardless of whether it was the Baichen Dynasty or the rest of the countries, it was also destroyed one after another. The Vagatoga Dynasty was the first to rise, and the Gupta Dynasty can only be said to have come from behind.

There were also many ups and downs in the civilizations of Zhu Xia. The Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties can be regarded as the peak periods of civilization. After the turbulent wars of the princes in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, another three kingdoms came together. The tomb man’s crimes really can’t be put on Sima’s head. The responsibilities of each family are far greater than that of Sima, but who makes Sima the royal family.

If history has not been changed by Liu Yan, the degeneration of the civilizations of Zhu Xia will last for hundreds of years. It will not be revived until Yang Jian relies on Zhou to establish the Great Sui Dynasty. Although the war in the end of the Sui Dynasty has gone through, Li Tang still stands in the world after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty. It’s just that the glory of Li Tang did not last long. The wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms completely changed the civilization of Zhu Xia.

It is not nonsense to say that the wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms had a profound impact on the civilization of Zhu Xia. It was precisely because of the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms that the generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were chaotic, which led to the suppression of the generals after the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the generals did not think that there was anything wrong with being suppressed. Learned from the history books the domineering of those generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

With the emphasis on literature over military in the Song Dynasty, Confucianism has completely risen in the true sense. From then on, the Central Plains civilization only valued military commanders in the Zhu Di generation, and all subsequent emperors tried their best to suppress military commanders, even the country, under the guidance of so-called scholars. The status of the dead generals has not been promoted.

Speaking of the rules of engagement, in fact Zhu Xia civilizations ceased to be classical civilizations since the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and began to move toward the road of "everything to do". The rest of the civilizations more or less preserved the rules of engagement of the classical era. Including the defeated party will get preferential treatment as long as the status is noble enough, and the defeated will also be free to redeem with a ransom.

Si Hongzhuang was not from a family of families. In fact, even a family of families no longer talked about the rules of engagement. Zampt Warren's words about respect for the rules of engagement were basically useless.

As the Gupta put down their weapons, the victory or defeat in this battlefield was undoubtedly revealed.

On land, the Han army gathered the prisoners and got the cooperation of Gupdo, even if Gupdo cooperated, it would be endless for a while. In the process, some things that seemed very funny to the Han army occurred, such as some Kshatriyas of Gupta demanding treatment that matched their status.

"What the hell?"

"Need a comfortable residence, but also a servant who serves life."

There is nothing wrong with Asan's nobles. They admit defeat and are willing to cooperate with being taken into custody, but they must have a comfortable house and there must be no fewer people accompanying them.

The Han army has so many requirements for the defeated. In addition to being funny and annoying, the civilizations of the Xia Dynasty have long been silent on the rules of engagement. Only with the special permission of the generals of the same army, some defeated will receive special preferential treatment, but it is usually a kind of Case.

"What?" Huan Wen felt bitter about the situation at first, and then slightly annoyed: "At least 1,700 so-called nobles protested and demanded that they be treated as eligible prisoners of war?"

Asan’s aristocracy is divided into classes, not official ranks, but caste distinctions. Even if they are all high castes, there are clear classes, and they cannot be overridden by what class they are.

Huan Wen's annoyance was that the prisoners had so many and complicated requests. If the requests were broken down, they would definitely be able to see the status of the prisoners of war.

"One thousand seven hundred nobles?" Si Hongzhuang really didn't know beforehand. He was a little surprised when he heard the data: "All the nobles in Jidu are here?"

In fact, the seven hundred nobles are really nothing. As long as the Asan civilization is a high caste, they are all nobles. In their race, Kshatriya is used to lead soldiers. There is really no shortage of Kshatriya in the army. The nobility of China is based on "10,000" as the basic unit.

Huan Wen is not a rigid person. He has learned about Ah San’s civilization and customs, and knows a general situation. Although annoyed, he is more dumbfounded: "According to their habits, the nobles and above are also nobles, so a big man is at least There is a nobleman of tens of thousands."

Later, Katlukkap and some others were taken to Huanwen.

"Our request is very reasonable." Of course, Katlukkap was not subjected to any abuse, even because he was the supreme commander of the Gupta side in this battle and was given preferential treatment. He reasoned and said generally: "We have given good treatment to your captured nobles."

Katlukkap was talking about those who were arrested when the Han army went to the Gupta dynasty for intelligence spying. He specifically mentioned the treatment Li Ming received after being captured. Huan Wen and other Han generals heard about Li Ming. Even being arranged to live in Gupta’s palace was stunned.

Li Ming is just a team leader. The title is the second-class title. Although there are not many people like him in Han, there are not hundreds of thousands of equal people, but there are tens of thousands of people. In this way, after he was captured, he was served well and even lived in the palace of Gupta.

Zhu Xia is a civilization of courtesy. To put it bluntly, it is good face. Although Huan Wen does not know who Li Ming is, he knows that he will not talk nonsense as Catluck Karp. Even though he is still unhappy in his heart, he ordered Gupta to be given. Prisoners of war treatment matched by nobility and status.

"Thank you very much for your civilized treatment." Katlukkap's heart is false, and it is a temptation to try hard to get a prisoner of war treatment that matches his identity. He had obtained the desired result and was on the defeated side. He did not dare to disrespect his attitude. He had some chattering conversations, and failed to detect why the Han army attacked the Gupta dynasty. Then he said: "According to The rules of engagement, each of our Kshatriya will deliver gold of the same weight as the body to redeem it for freedom. I myself will deliver the treasure of a hundred carriages."

Huan Wen learned some news from Si Hongzhuang. After Ah San was defeated, he wanted to redeem his freedom with gold. He couldn't think about it. He was stunned when he raised the treasure of a hundred carriages to redeem his freedom.

"Rules of engagement?" Huan Wen, who loves gold, sneered at Katlukkap's righteousness: "Only a big man can make rules."

Katlukkap frowned and asked, "So, how much do you want?"

What Huan Wen struggled with was not the question of how much ransom was received. He just pretended to be unable to see it after the defeat of Katluk Karp, and his response was a series of "hehe" laughter.

"The wealth of a hundred carriages is more than 200,000 gold coins." Katlukkap is a Brahman. Even if he is defeated in the war, as long as he is not killed in the battle, the ransom must be matched with his own status and status. He feels that he has drawn The price is very reasonable: "It's two hundred thousand gold coins!"

The Gupta Dynasty had its own currency system, which was divided into three types: copper, silver, and gold. The ternary system of this currency is actually better than that of other countries today~lightnovelpub.net~The Central Plains Dynasty is really lagging behind.

Don't worry about how many copper coins are exchanged for how many silver coins, or how many silver coins are exchanged for how many gold coins, and so on. The currency of the Gupta Dynasty naturally has strong Asan characteristics, and the patterns are very beautiful, and the weight of each gold coin is about 15 grams.

To put it simply, Katlukkap has to pay a ransom of two hundred thousand gold coins, each fifteen grams, two hundred thousand is fifteen tons, which is fifteen tons of gold.

Huan Wen displeased people to bring Katluk Karp down, and said uncomfortably: "What is his attitude? Did we win, or did they win?"

Si Hongzhuang didn't do anything else just now. He was calculating how much ransom money could be provided by the 1,500 nobles. The calculated figure was at least 75 tons of gold. Later, he was calculating how much Katlukkap's ransom was.

"Uh...!!!" Si Hongzhuang said to Huan Wen with a slightly sluggish facial expression: "General, if they really pay the ransom, they will have 90 tons of gold together..."

Huan Wen was only concerned about the irritation, and really didn't think about it. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard it.
