Chapter 666

The A3 ocean is actually very vast in terms of area, and it can be divided into small sea areas, such as the bay of Bengal.

The frontier base of the Han Dynasty was set up in Yangon later generations, named pingman Xiaowei department. It is hundreds of nautical miles away from the offshore of the Gupta Dynasty. At the current speed, ships can not travel in a short time.

Ketak is not the largest coastal city of the Gupta Dynasty. In fact, another coastal city called Visakhapatnam is. However, Visakhapatnam is located in the southwest region, and Visakhapatnam is not suitable as the front base of the Gupta Dynasty against the Han army.

A San has a strong sense of territory. It is said that the strong is the local control of the nobles in various regions. The Gupta Dynasty should choose ketak or Visakhapatnam as the enemy base. In fact, it is through a very fierce internal game. Since all kinds of ships of the Gupta Dynasty only concentrated in ketak, it is obvious that the Noble Group on ketak side won the final victory in the game.

The earth is a big ball. The area where pingman captain is located is in the season of continuous rain. Ketak, including the surrounding sea areas, is a sunny day. The huge fleet formation drives away and directly chooses the route away from the coastline.

"Our understanding of the Han Empire is limited to hearsay." Kapir Malik never evaded this fact. He was standing on the deck of the warship, facing the sea breeze, looking at the surrounding friendly ships and his deputy and friend dijean Makur said with great emotion: "it can be said that we know almost nothing about the current Han Empire."

No one will ignore that fact. It is precisely because the Gupta Dynasty knew nothing about the new Han state that they tried to seek peaceful exchanges. However, they also know one fact. Exchanges are based on the premise of equal status, that is, both sides recognize each other's strength. Otherwise, who has seen the possibility of peaceful coexistence between tigers and elk.

It is the Han Empire, which was the hegemonic status of the Western Han Dynasty by defeating the invincible Xiongnu. After the division of the Xiongnu, the northern Xiongnu continued to wreak havoc in the western regions in the following decades. Not only the countries in the western regions suffered deeply, but also the surviving Parthia and the powerful Kushan Empire were beaten from time to time.

Today, there are still more descendants of the northern Huns to the west of the western countries and the east of the Sassanian Dynasty. Those descendants of the northern Huns lived together with various nationalities and established Yueban state and xiongni state respectively. The other part is the northern Huns who have moved westward again and again. They have arrived in the later Ukrainian region.

The remaining descendants of the northern Huns in Yueban country are not many. The main body is dada people, many of them are kusana Dayue people after the subjugation of the country, and some ethnic groups are not numbered. This country is a living habit of nomadic herding. From time to time, it will conflict with Wusun and Hunni. They once rose up in the next 100 or 200 years, causing great harm to the Persian Sassanian and the three states, and gradually forming a Turkic branch.

In fact, Hunni is also dominated by dada. They are determined to have a hard time with the Persians for 500 years, which has always been a worry for the east of the Persians. What's more magical is that the Hunni state, which has been fighting with the Sassanian Dynasty, negotiated peace with the Sassanian Dynasty of Persia, and then jointly formed a coalition to invade the eastern territory of Rome. A prince died in this battle, which led to a quarrel between the Hunni state and the Sassanian Dynasty. Later, HUNI was gradually assimilated by the rising Turks and became a branch of Turks.

It is precisely because the remaining northern Huns can still wreak havoc on one side, resulting in the once famous Han Empire. If you want to say it impolitely, no one is wrong. The Han Empire, which can completely defeat the Huns, subconsciously thinks that the Han Empire must be an incomparably powerful empire.

"Whether the present Han Empire is the former Han Empire is certainly the key." Kapir Malik said faintly, "no one is willing to make enemies with a powerful empire."

Dijean Makur nodded deeply and said, "I haven't heard that the Han Empire has a strong navy."

"Yes, that's why we fought." Kapir Malik pointed to the boundless warship: "this is an inexplicable friction. We will win, let the Han people know that 'our sea' will always be our sea, and let them understand that we can't be conquered casually."

Above the sea, warships are arranged in formation, sailing under the action of the wind, and people can be seen on the deck of each ship.

Ketak's overseas, the weather is pretty good today. The fleet attracted seagulls. Many people on board are teasing, but no one did some bird shooting.

The great fleet of the Gupta Dynasty sailed northeast. As they got farther and farther away, they could see a wonder in the sky.

It seemed that the sky was divided into two parts, half cloudy and the other half clear. In the cloudy half, the clouds in some areas were rolled up, and the sun shone down from the gap, as if God had given the world a ladder that can step up. It looked very beautiful.

In fact, it rains more often at sea than on land, just whether it will form a storm. The non storm rain at sea will not increase the waves, which will affect the navigation of ships, but will not increase any danger.

The fleet of the Gupta Dynasty rashly continued to approach the Cloudy Sea area without trade. They lowered the main sail one after another under the bell. The speed was still moving forward, but the speed was reduced a lot.

Kapir Malik was summoned by the flagship to dijean Makur gave orders, took the boat put down by the warship and came to katruk Kapp's flagship.

Katluk Kapp's flagship is a genuine A3 warship, which should be about 60 meters long, about 20 meters wide and 5 meters deep. It has as many as six masts. In addition to the four large masts in the middle of the hull, the other two masts are arranged on the left and right sides, and each mast has a large segmented sail.

Like the Greeks, ah San likes to arrange various statues on the ship. Some differences are that the Greeks are basically arranged in the collision angle area, but ah San is arranged on the top of the bridge behind the bow.

Kapir in a sea crossing boat Malik could see the statue glittering in the sun from a distance. After saluting and praying, he came close to the warship. On the ship, he dropped the knotted rope sleeve. If he wanted to get on the ship, he could only climb up with the rope sleeve.

Now, in addition to the Han Navy's application of mesh climbing net, other countries really do not use this tool. The application of Han Congress is fundamentally due to the existence of Liu Yan.

The Gupta Dynasty dispatched 500 fleets, and there were small formations under the large fleet. The number of ships in each formation was different, such as kapir Malik led a formation of 50, but his formation was not the largest. The largest formation is as many as 100, and the less may be less than 10. According to the tradition of ah San, each chadili can collect as many men as he has the influence or financial resources.

"AP has gone to observe." Katluk Kapp is the formation commander who received from the cabin: "I hope there is no storm, otherwise..."

As the flagship of the Gupta Dynasty, it should not only be large enough, but also be perfect in some layout. From the appearance point of view, its hull has been painted with various colors and patterns, and there should be no less carving. Inside, of course, the ground can't be directly a wooden board. It has to be paved with precious felt on Sasan. All the decorations that can be hung on the wall have to be hung, and it has to be glittering. Generally speaking, there are only two words, that is luxury!

They came with the purpose of surprise attack. If there was a storm on the route, they couldn't rush up foolishly, or they would stage the tragedy of the Persians.

Persians what tragedy? Darius invaded Greece. After landing, the leading forces competed with the Spartans who stuck to the hot spring pass. However, the follow-up fleet broke into the storm area. The good invading forces haven't landed yet, but most of them feed fish.

As the flagship carrying Brahmans, there must be extreme luxury, and there can be no lack of enjoyment, katluk Capuan sat on a Roman style semi recliner, which was wrapped in precious fur, but there was a piece of gold in some corners, which was obviously a gold-plated thing at least.

The golden half recliner is only part of it, placed in catrook On the low table in front of Karp's body, there are all kinds of utensils, either gold or silver. Each utensil has complex patterns. It must be inlaid with precious stones. The utensils contain all kinds of food. The most exaggerated thing is a horizontally placed machete. The handle is obviously ivory, and the scabbard is definitely precious wood. It is also inlaid with large gemstones. At first glance, it is valuable. In fact, the knife is also made of Uzi steel.

The summoned people also have their own semi reclining chairs, which are not comparable to catrook in specifications Kapp's one, like the value of fur. The other tools are not much different.

At any time, the high caste needs servants to serve. To say the least, the high caste needs special servants to wipe their hips, including katluk All the people, including Karp, are also the second most important. They just need to lie down and wait to be served by servants.

"If it's not a storm, it's just rain..." zanpute Warren is the leader of a hundred ship formation. The Warren family is still a big family in the south of the Gupta Dynasty. He exaggerated and waved an arm: "on the contrary, it is beneficial for us to quietly approach the station of the Han Empire."

The great nobleman in the south of the great Gupta Dynasty, although he was a chadili, his family was extremely rich, zanpute Warren must have some style. He is completely in accordance with ah San's decorative aesthetics. His armor must be golden. The necklaces hanging around his neck, earrings on his ears, pendants on his nose, wrists and ankles, except gold, are gemstones of different colors.

Of course, the armor looks golden, with complex patterns and jewels, but it is not all made of gold. Gold is a soft metal with no protective power. In fact, it is a kind of steel gold-plated armor, but not a willow leaf armor. It is a kind of plate armor.

Sending ships to explore takes time, katrick Karp calls people over for communication, and it is also a kind of fun calling custom for ah San to seize the opportunity.

A San's enjoyment is inseparable from singing and dancing. They are a group of people who want to sing a song and dance when they seize the opportunity. Mixed dance music of men and women is staged in the spacious cabin. Both men and women are dressed in all colors. Jumping men try their best to show the beauty of masculinity, while women will constantly make some enchanting gestures with their limbs and strongly seduce one sex one.

In the midst of singing and dancing, ah San's favorite "dieluohan" began. It was also at this time that the people who went to explore came back and reported that there was no storm ahead.

Katluk Karp was watching the "overlapping Arhats" with appreciation. The cabin was not high enough for people to step on each other's shoulders. The dancers simply lay flat and fold, and their limbs had to vibrate constantly. Many people looked at a pile of strange objects with shaking hands and feet, but ah San really liked it.

Since there was no storm ahead, the fleet naturally hung up its main sail and moved forward at full speed. They are not sailing together. There must be small formations around for cruising, warning and exploration.

If you go by sea from ketak to pingman, you can actually arrive in a day if the wind is favorable and God gives you face.

Because the outer ships did not send police, the fleet was still some distance from the Han military port, and the commanders of each formation did not leave the flagship. Although they would not get drunk, they were willing to watch a group of male and female dancers dance.

"What?" Katluk When Kapp was full of joy, he received a report: "peripheral ships found the warship formation of the Han Empire?"

The Gupta Dynasty went to sea in a mighty manner, which had nothing to do with confidentiality at all. They didn't seem to want to keep it confidential. What they wanted was to use the fastest speed and rely on the large-scale fleet. Even if they were found, they would push it up openly, that is, the later they could be found, the better.

The state of Han is still carrying out a raid in assan Yang. Usually, three warships form a formation, cruising in the waters of assan yang to attack any non Han ship, not only the ships of Gupta Dynasty, but in fact the surrounding countries that can go to sea have fallen blood and bad luck.

For the time being, the Gupta Dynasty, which is confident in its own strength, did not want to form a crusade coalition with the affected countries, which is also related to the Gupta Dynasty's desire to eliminate the war. If they can defeat the Han country at sea, they also want to carry out maritime trade. If they can't win, it's another matter.

"Not just the Han Empire?" Katluk Kapp's mouth turned up: "well, let them witness the strength of Gupta!"

Whereabouts found? There are several formations in the Han Empire, along with two satraps (the Serb country), karabalas (the westernmost three member country), Persian Sasan and a number of small states. Katruk Kapp is really not too nervous. As he said, Gupta's maritime strength is really not generally strong.
