Chapter 673

With the advent of a new day, the clouds in the East have dispersed, and when the sun rises, the sky is full of belly color.

At a glance, wisps of cooking smoke rose on the beach and inland. The two armies buried pots for cooking in the early morning. When the sun rose, they actually had dinner, but the firewood had not been completely extinguished.

Zanpt Warren took people out under the sun. He didn't dare to go straight to the Han army. He sent someone to contact him first and got a reply before he officially set off.

At the time of breakfast, the battle on the land was temporarily stopped, but the noisy land stopped a little, but the battle on the sea continued.

Naturally, the battle site is a mess. Discarded debris can be seen everywhere. There are also some lying bodies on the ground, especially in the front line of the battle between the two armies. In addition, there are arrows inserted all over the ground.

Meet zampt Warren's man is Si Hongzhuang.

Si Hongzhuang saw zanpute at first sight Warren squinted when he was, zanpt Warren is a temple of the Gupta Dynasty, and there is no lack of white people in the temple of the Gupta Dynasty. The Han people who have been ravaged by the Jie nationality for decades have a natural hatred for the white people.

Zanpt Warren's dress seemed normal to ah San. He was dressed in colorful robes, and there was no lack of gold pendant. The jewelry inlaid with gemstones could count as much as he could. Anyone who saw it had to jump out the word "local tyrant" in his heart. In fact, he wore two layers of lock armor in his robe. There was also plate armor in the key part of his chest, and a machete was hung on the belt around his waist.

The two met in a tent at the forward position of the Han Army, zanpute Warren observed carefully on his way to the camp. The fortifications of the Han Army seemed dense, and the mood of the soldiers seemed very relaxed.

With a little military common sense, it is clear that the relaxed mood of soldiers in an army is the key, which at least indicates that the morale of the army is OK, and it is not easy for a morale army to lose.

Zanpt Warren also faced up to the point that the three civilizations, the Mediterranean civilization and the Central Asian civilization all have each other's shadow because of their communication. They are more or less familiar with each other when it comes to cognition. The civilization of the Central Plains is "independent" everywhere. At least the civilization with hair tied is only in the Central Plains Dynasty, whether in terms of clothing or hair accessories.

"My master comes from the south of the great empire. He is the largest nobleman there. He has a large area of land and slaves. He has more wealth than shashuo. He can fight with the lion..."

Si Hongzhuang listened to the translator constantly boasting and praising pute Warren's life experience and ability are all on his face. I really don't know whether he should be thick skinned or shameless.

The problem is that no matter the a'san civilization or those civilizations in Central Asia and the Mediterranean, they usually put all kinds of "halos" on themselves. It is a process to show off their identity, status, wealth, force and reputation. The more titles, the more they usually appear.

"I'm a Han pingman colonel." Si Hongzhuang raised his chin slightly. He just introduced his official position without talking about his title. He asked expressionless, "when the two armies were fighting, why did you come here, but you want to surrender?"

Zanpt After the translation, Warren confirmed that there was no error in the translation and said, "this is our sea. Myanmar (PYU) is also a dependency of the great Gupta. It is an uncivilized and barbaric act for you to invade our sea and occupy the land of Myanmar."

"We're coming, we're fighting, we're taking." Si Hongzhuang pulled a corner of his mouth and said with disdain, "if there is a place for the Lord, the place where the Han army boots tread is the Han land."

Zanpt Warren is not an ignorant chadili. After listening to the translation, he was stunned and thought of the sentence "I come, I see, I conquer" of Caesar in Rome.

Caesar has been exploring the outside world. Klassus and Pompeii are also doing this in the same period. The three giants of Rome have said similar words. Generally, they believe that the powerful party can naturally occupy more land, not justice and evil.

Si Hongzhuang meets zanpute Warren was stunned and said impatiently, "since you have to surrender, you can leave."

"The empire is a powerful country. We rule the Indus and Ganges rivers. The country is rich and has a large population." Zanpt Warren frowned at Si Hongzhuang and continued, "we have an army of 400000, and we can organize another army of one million anytime, anywhere."

Zanpt Warren doesn't seem to boast. If we calculate by national strength, the Gupta Dynasty really has no shortage of domestic food because it has a large grain producing area. In addition, the Gupta Dynasty maintained prosperous trade with neighboring countries and Rome, and was definitely rich in financial resources. They should have a population of about 25 million even if they count the Dalits. They will not hesitate to arm the Dalits to death under the background of not treating the Dalits as human beings. Let alone arm one million Dalits, they can do another one million things.

The Han state has limited knowledge of the Gupta Dynasty, but it has more or less learned some information, including the wealth of the Gupta Dynasty and the fact that the Gupta Dynasty is indeed a hegemon in South Asia. It is difficult to judge whether it can organize millions of troops.

"So good." Si Hongzhuang was not frightened at all. On the contrary, he licked his lips and said excitedly, "the big man has cleaned up the surrounding Hu people. Our generation is worried that there is no place for meritorious service in the battlefield."

Zanpt Warren felt that the general of the Han Empire in front of him was ill, and he was very ill.

In the view of any country or nation, war is never a small matter. On the contrary, it is a major event related to the rise and fall of the country and the survival of the nation. If it is not necessary, no one will easily start a war.

The Gupta Dynasty is located in South Asia, not counting the kusana Empire, they have no conflict with the Han state in East Asia, let alone any interest disputes. If there was a conflict between the Kushan Empire and the Han people, it would have been hundreds of years ago. There is nothing wrong with the establishment of the Gupta Dynasty on the ruins of the Kushan Empire, but the Gupta Dynasty is not the successor of the Kushan empire.

In zampt In Warren's opinion, the distance between the Han state and the Gupta Dynasty is too far away. What madness should I think about the labor expedition? Even if I win, it's blackmail at most. Can I destroy the Gupta dynasty or what?

"Any war always has a motive." Zanpt Warren tried his best to endure his anger. He was willing to communicate well. He asked, "what did the Han Empire want to win by launching this war?"

Si Hongzhuang knew what he wanted, but it seemed a bit embarrassing to say it, and he would make a fuss, staring at the puzzled zanpute without expression Warren gave no answer.

The reason why the Han state and the Gupta Dynasty can't get along is that they know that the Gupta Dynasty is rich in food, and the Han state is about to face a severe drought. Under the drought, most areas will have no harvest. They just want to plunder outward to stop losses. They don't have such a big mind to destroy the Gupta Dynasty at the beginning.

Later, the Han army came to a Sanyang and established a base in the southern coast of Biao. After searching for more information about the Gupta Dynasty, it found that the Gupta Dynasty was not a country that could be destroyed in a dozen. On the contrary, the Gupta Dynasty was the overlord in this area, and it was really rich in food. It was also an extremely rich country. The original idea of grabbing and fishing had changed.

The hegemonic countries in any region should not be underestimated. They should be treated with enough caution. Therefore, not only the invading forces have been increased from one standing army to two standing armies, but also the number of servants who used to be only 20000 has been increased to 40000. Huan Wen, as a general of the Southern expedition, represents that the Han state really takes the Gupta Dynasty as a dish, Not as a readily available grass.

At this time, the voice of notification came from outside the account. Si Hongzhuang allowed people to enter, and the information about the sea battle was told.

The Han fleet and the Gupta fleet began to fight at night and still fought in the early morning. At night, the ships of the two sides did not lose much, but the ships and ships on both sides lost a lot.

After the arrival of the new day, the navies on both sides who have been fighting all night, whether they admit it or not, are very tired, especially those who are responsible for rowing the oars. Many of them don't even listen to their arms at all, but it is because the speed of the big ship decreases that the war situation becomes more and more fierce.

There was a large-scale battle between the fleets on both sides just now. First, there was a round-trip greeting with long-range weapons, and then there was a ship collision and side jump battle. It was tantamount to a local decisive battle. Si Hongzhuang received a report that his own side lost 17 ships and the Gupta fleet lost 16 ships. The damaged warships on both sides are still counting and estimating, Take the initiative to withdraw the Gupta fleet and declare the victory or defeat of the local decisive battle.

In the current naval battle, it is not easy for warships to sink, even if the ships are burned, but if the cabin of the hull is not broken, the horizontal plane should be burned almost to the bottom of the ship.

The fleet under Fu Wei's command lost 17 ships, but only four sank. The rest were captured due to the defeat of the jump gang war. The latter 12 were burned, and only one was brought back by the retreating Gupta side; On the Gupta side, sixteen ships were lost, seven sank and nine were captured.

The Gupta fleet took the initiative to evacuate. Naturally, it was impossible to take away the captured ships, and it was impossible to rescue its own personnel who fell into the water. However, the Han army could do the above things.

Judging from their losses, the Han fleet is at a disadvantage, but anyway, the Gupta fleet chose to retreat, and the local decisive battle is the final victory of the Han Army, katluk Kapp's desire to break the blockade failed.

Zanpt After listening to the translation, Warren was not only proud that his losses were less than those of the Han Empire, but also disappointed at the failure to break the blockade. In fact, he knows that any confrontation can't just look at the loss. Whether it has achieved the desired result is the key.

For a fleet blocked along the coast, the failure of penetration is tantamount to getting into trouble. The next Gupta side will certainly continue to organize a breakthrough until the fleet warships lose to a certain extent or have no confidence in breakthrough.

"But there are still unspoken things?" Si Hongzhuang asked casually and put his hands on it: "the captain of our school is very busy in military affairs and has no time to gossip."

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

Si Hongzhuang was surprised that he didn't understand what a San thought. He turned around and thought that he really needed someone to convey his meaning. He smiled and said, "well, you should wait near our school."

The army's morning food was long gone, and the Han Army on the land was ready to attack. Si Hongzhuang, as the commander of this war, naturally would not stay in the tent, but would not take the lead in the charge. After all, he was the commander of this war, and the charge was what the front-line officers and men should do. His responsibility was to take charge of the overall situation and deploy troops.

Zanpt Warren followed Si Hongzhuang out of the tent. He saw the Han Army standing around with a solemn face. He also saw that there were a lot of Han troops. He immediately realized that the Han army was making a big move.

Si Hongzhuang needs enough height to look at the overall situation, but he can't find a mountain. He has to keep a distance from the troops participating in the war. When necessary, he can personally stand on the front line. The nest car three or four floors high has become an observation place.

The Han Army's attack on the beach Gupta troops broke out in a burst of beating drums. After a neat "Han Army's mighty" battle signal, the servant army in the forefront began to move forward, and the follow-up queue was the soldiers of the standing army.

It is also zanpute standing on the nest car Warren, he has enough height to observe. He saw that the servants of the Han country joined the army yesterday. He has no curiosity about this group of slave soldiers who wear everything. Instead, he is very curious about the Han army with red and black robes and armor.

The soldiers of the standing army, no matter how bad they are, will also have leather armor. Their standard configuration depends on what kind of arms they are. They are excellent in both height and stature. Each of them has at least experienced dozens of battles. They look like fierce soldiers.

"Equipped infantry?" Zanpt What Warren attached most importance to was a large square array covered with iron armor. When he saw the strange knife or broad sword in the hands of those heavy infantry, he pulled his cheek: "one after another is like an iron tower."

The heavy infantry of the Han Army are tall people, with an average height of 1.9 meters. It looks very deterrent.

To speak of, the Chinese and Miao people... Especially the Chinese and Miao people in the Central Plains, the average height from the Warring States period to the Three Kingdoms is really not bad. It's really not difficult to find young people with a height of about 1.9 meters.

It's in zampt While Warren was still observing, his ears were shocked by the "long live the son of heaven" and "long live the Chinese dynasty" shouted by unknown numbers of people. Turning around, he saw the bowmen and crossbows of the Han state covering it. At the same time, the servants at the forefront also launched an assault.
