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

　　 Regardless of whether it is fire attacks on land or water, fire attacks are not so fun to play, and the weather and geography 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 a 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 the Gupta's fleet was in chaos under the fireboat offensive. After he finished his comment, he continued, "Go down the mountain."

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

　　 After Li Mai not only let the stalkers attack, even the warships of the fleet are also constantly advancing, constantly compressing the space of the Gupta fleet, at the same time, the ships are densely packed and the Gupta side looks even worse under the fire attack.

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 the 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 stamina of the heavily armored infantry of the Han army was exhausted and retreated to the rear. The shields were organized by shield soldiers to slowly advance on the shield wall, covered by some melee infantry, and a large number of crossbowmen kept shooting 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.

Katluk Karp 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 again. At that time, gritted his teeth and said: "Plead to the Han army for a truce."

There is no way, the battle on the sea has changed suddenly, and the battle on the land has always been at a disadvantage. Katluk Karp has no hope of winning this battle, and he has 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.

　　 After translation, Si Hongzhuang knew that the black charcoal in front of him had come on behalf of the highest commander in this battle, and he was looking for Zampte Warren.

　　 "We admit that we have failed, please order you 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."

Zampt Warren has nothing to hypocritically, 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 war in the civilized world. Rules, 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 nation took place in 2006, but writings had already been invented before. 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 quickly 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. .

　　 It was almost when the Eastern Han regime fell, regardless of whether it was the Baichen dynasty or the rest of the countries. It was the Vajadha dynasty that rose first, 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 is precisely because of the chaos of the generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms that the Northern Song Dynasty has been suppressing the generals since 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 and military over military in the two Songs, Confucianism has completely risen in the true sense. From then on, the Central Plains civilization only paid attention to 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 either.

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 talks about the rules of engagement. What Zampte Warren says about respecting the rules of engagement is basically useless.

　　 As the more side put down their weapons, the victory or defeat in this battlefield is undoubtedly revealed.

　　 On land, the Han army gathered the captives 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?"

　　 "You need a comfortable place to live, and you need to be a servant of 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 was bitter at first when he learned the situation, and then a little annoyed: "At least 1,700 so-called nobles protested and demanded that they be treated as prisoners of war?"

　　 Asan’s nobles are divided into classes, not official ranks, but caste distinctions. Even if they are all high castes, there are clear classes, and they cannot be surpassed.

　　Huanwen’s irritation is that the prisoners’ requests are so many and complicated. If you break down the requests, you can definitely 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 here 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."

　　 Behind, Katluk Karp and some others were taken to Huan Wen.

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

Katluk Karp was talking about those who were arrested by the Han army going 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 that Li Ming had even been arranged to live in Gupta's palace and was shocked.

　　 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 people like him, 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 a good face. Although Huan Wen does not know who Li Ming is, he knows that he will not talk nonsense as Katruk Karp. Although he is still unhappy in his heart, he ordered Gupta to be given. Prisoners of war treatment that match the status of the nobility.

　　 "Thank you very much for your civilized treatment." Katluk Karp is false to say that he is uneasy, and it is also a temptation to try hard to get the treatment of prisoners of war 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. It is not impossible to think about it. When he mentioned the treasure of a hundred carriages to redeem his freedom, he was stunned. .

　　 "Rules of engagement?" Huan loves gold, but he sneers at Katluk Karp's righteousness: "Only a big man can make rules."

　　 Katluk Karp 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 incapable of passing after Katluk Karp's defeat, and his response was a series of "hehe" laughter~lightnovelpub.net~100 cars The wealth of the carriage exceeds two hundred thousand gold coins. "Katluk Karp is a Brahmin. Even if he is defeated, as long as he does not die, he must pay the ransom to match his status. He feels that the price he offered is very reasonable: "It's 200,000 gold coins!" "

　　 Gupta Dynasty had its own currency system, divided into three types: copper, silver, and gold. The ternary currency system is actually better than that of other countries today, and 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, Katluk Karp has to pay a ransom of 200,000 gold coins, each of which is 15 grams, 200,000 pieces are 15 tons, which is 15 tons of gold.

　　 Huan was unpleasant to let people take 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 1,500 nobles. The calculated figure was at least 75 tons of gold. Later, he was calculating how much Katluk Karp’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 just annoyed just now, but really didn't think about it, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard it.
