"Or..." albata had a desperate expression on his face: "let the whole army charge!"
The situation on the battlefield undoubtedly shows that the anti Han axis coalition forces are at a disadvantage. They dispatched 800 chariots, about 4000 cavalry and 13000 infantry. However, with the positive advance of the Han Army, they are not only pushed forward, but even collapsed and retreated.
It can't be said that the Persians and Romans were not brave. They were the first army in the world to dare to push forward with the platoon and rotation of the rifle soldiers of the Han army.
The Persians broke down after losing about 70%.
The Romans lost more than 80% before they collapsed.
They have shown amazing will. It should be clear that when the war losses of most armies reach about 10%, the collapse naturally occurs.
An army recognized as a strong army usually needs to be able to withstand about 30% of the war damage.
In general, 10% of the war damage of an army means that those brave and brave have been damaged, and the rest are either cowards or those who drift with the tide.
The dominant Han Army actually admired the enemy who could endure more than half of the casualties and still showed the will to fight.
If the soldiers admire, the officers will be afraid.
An army that is not afraid of death is not terrible. What is worrying is that the army that is not afraid of death is not lack of training and has a perfect organization.
With the foundation of training and arming the army, coupled with tenacious will, it's just not to give them a chance. Once they seize the opportunity, they can usually create miracles.
The number of enemy troops running away on the front battlefield is very small, and more than 70% are left behind.
Every step forward, Liu Shen had to avoid the bodies on the ground. These bodies were mended by the riflemen who had been pushed in previously. Each body had at least one hole emitting blood.
After being shot, an individual was mended, but he stubbornly didn't die. Their brains are completely occupied by pain. Their bodies will roll up like shrimp, close their eyes, and their bodies will continue to tremble slightly. They will soon be shocked and die in shock because of too much blood loss.
From the start of the war to the defeat of the soldiers of the anti Han axis coalition forces on the battlefield, all happened within an hour and a half.
Because of the fighting, the Han Army stopped in place for platoon shooting most of the time, and the forward distance was only about 600 meters.
When the anti Han axis coalition sent fighting troops to show defeat, marus and albata retreated with troops who did not participate in the war.
In the end, they dared not send troops to fight again. The armies of the two empires were defeated so miserably. The probability of using their own troops to add oil was as much as death.
If other countries (nationalities) mobilize the anti Han axis coalition forces, they don't say whether they are willing to obey orders. Those in power are really willing to send troops. The greatest possibility for those miscellaneous soldiers is to collapse at one touch and then attack their own formation.
"Return to the camp." Marus's face was very frustrated: "using the camp for defense is our only choice at present."
Most of the other nationalities do not know how to build camps. They are proficient, that is, the Romans and Persians. At the same time, the Romans will have more experience in building camps.
The Romans were really good at building camps, especially after conquering the Greeks, they got a lot of knowledge about engineering in Greece.
Like the Persians who also have a set of methods for building barracks, they build barracks nothing more than making fences and resisting horses, digging one or more ditches, digging countless traps, placing spikes, and adding more fences or walls if they pay attention to some, but they rely on their hands and basically have no mechanical tools.
The Romans were different. They mastered the relevant lifting technology and had a large number of machinery to make the project construction more convenient. They built the same camp as the Persians. The Persians needed ten days, and the Romans could finish the construction in three or four days.
Since the war was not so smooth at the beginning, marus had the knowledge of wantonly building camps and fighting a long war with the Han army from marching to the banks of the Pinchi river.
They are building camps on the West Bank of the Pinchi river.
The first camp was less than 500 meters from the pinch river. Because this camp was within the range of the Han Army's artillery fire, it simply dug two ditches and set up a fence and three-layer fence. It was destroyed by the Han Army on the 17th day.
The second camp was built on the West Bank 3000 meters away from the Pinchi river. In front of it, there are six ditches with a width of about five meters, each with an interval of about 20 meters. Behind the trench is the "city wall" which is generally built by using the wood structure and rammed with the wall. Its width is about four meters and its height is also four meters. The more the "city wall" is more than 700 meters long, and the built driving wooden frames extend out on both sides. It will continue to ramme the wall in enough time, with a large number of arrow towers.
The third camp became a half bend. The Romans took advantage of the large number of miscellaneous soldiers to build a great wall on the front. The project did not stop when the war was going on. Its ditches, walls and traps are much more than the second camp, and the height of the "city wall" is much higher.
The current second camp, whose current role has been transformed into the forward base of the anti Han axis coalition army, is where the anti Han axis coalition army retreats from the front battlefield.
It must be said that the Han people were extremely surprised that the anti Han axis coalition forces could move the project in wartime and even form a scale in a short time.
The Han Army did not want to send troops to interfere, but the number of anti Han axis coalition forces was too large and the terrain was too limited.
Li Kuang sent cavalry to harass him several times. Either he was intercepted by more than ten times his own enemy, or he rushed in and was in danger of being surrounded and eaten. He simply turned a blind eye to it.
"Where did the artillery advance?"
"Back to Duhu, we have followed within 100 meters of the rear side of the propulsion force."
The advancing Han army is still a rifle array in the center, but only cold weapon troops on foot are left on both wings. The cavalry are scattered and are still playing the game of "cat and mouse" with the anti Han axis coalition.
The terrain of the battlefield is really too restrictive for the Han Army crossing the river to the West Bank. There is no depth. On the one hand, it is because the number of anti Han axis coalition forces is really too large. At the beginning, it is in the state of being sandwiched by three bread. Unless the Han Army crosses the river from other river sections, there is no detour space at all.
In some ways, the Han Army liked such a battlefield very much. They had 10000 riflemen. In the face of such a battlefield, not only would there be no constraints, but even at such a disadvantage, they could attract the enemy to attack on their own initiative, fight openly and squarely, and give full play to the greatest shooting advantage of platoon guns.
Liu Shen stood where he was when he heard the "stop" military order. He looked around. The robes around him showed a tired expression.
The position where they stopped was only 500 meters away from the camp of the anti Han axis coalition army. At a glance, there was no enemy outside the camp. The enemy stood on the "city wall", and more enemy troops were behind the "city wall".
"Rest in place, replenish water, eat, and don't walk around at will!"
Fighting without rest for an hour and a half, people are always in a state of mental tension, and then they are always under exercise. People really feel dry mouth. Drinking some water properly and eating something can relax their spirit and recover their physical strength.
Liu Shen took out the kettle hanging on the back waist and poured it for a while. After drinking a few mouthfuls, he felt that his chest was not so stuffy. He raised the kettle and tilted it. The water was drenched on his face and flowed along his neck to his body. The whole person immediately felt comfortable to "live" again.
Many people are doing that. Next to it is the spray Red River. There is no need to worry about being unable to replenish water. If you shower with water, you can relax your body and heart. So why not do it?
"This thing tastes terrible." While chewing the dry noodles in his mouth, Ji Hai disliked it: "if it weren't for the crisp taste, it's really good for nothing."
The rations carried by soldiers are dry noodles wrapped in cloth bags. They are ground into strips and then fried. They do have a crisp taste and have little nutritional value, but they are easier to carry and not easy to deteriorate.
Liu Shen chewed dry noodles and poured water into his mouth from time to time. His eyes were looking at the "city wall" not far away. The enemy troops above were busy.
"They're really good." Ji Hai exclaimed, "I've built such a thing in less than a month. I heard there's another one in the West."
When it comes to start-up projects, Han people have seen many kinds of projects in the past decade and gradually understand what is called efficiency. At the same time, they think that no one in the world can compare with themselves for project construction.
For some special reasons, the soldiers of the Han Empire have always been a group of proud people. They firmly believe that whatever it is, the Han people are at the top level in the world.
Now, as a "second generation" and a soldier, Ji Hai praised him. It can be seen that he was really surprised.
"The Romans loved all kinds of projects. They were no strangers to building roads and walls." Liu Shen knew that the Romans always had a history of building the Great Wall. They built the Great Wall in every period of Defense: "Wang Shizhong (Wang Meng) has been to Rome, introduced the traffic conditions and various arenas in Rome, and especially praised the Romans' persistence in building canals."
Some "second generation" including Ji Hai and Xu Guang understood it.
The Romans are not barbarians. They also have a high level of civilization for the current world. The Romans who like to start projects have their own mechanics. They will use machinery during project construction, which can achieve faster construction speed than those nations who don't know what mechanics is.
While they were chatting, there were bursts of gunfire behind them.
After the shells leave the gun barrel and fly to the sky, they will roar because they break through the air. More than 40% of them fly for a distance and blast towards the anti Han axis. The coalition soldiers are in a busy "city wall", and the rest either land prematurely or cross the "City wall" and hit the rear camp.
The "city wall" is mainly supported by wooden frames. Shells hit down one after another. Some of the rammed walls are concave, but they do not collapse. The walls that have not been rammed in time are blown out of the effect of falling apart.
The artillery units of the Han army fired solid bullets, which were mainly used to bombard the "city wall", not to cause many enemy casualties.
"It's amazing." Qin song looked at the constantly bombarded "city wall" and praised the other party for setting off the strength of his own artillery: "our fastest record is to build a stone wall more than ten miles in a month?"
Qin Song said something a long time ago. At that time, they were still weak forces in Changguang county. They were forced to retreat to Liaodong Peninsula by Shijie Zhao state. In order to deal with the threat of Murong Yan state, they had to build the Great Wall.
Of course, it is systematic farmers who build a ten mile wall a month, which was once considered by countless forces to have created miracles.
"The Romans did have their own advantages." Li Kuang did not reject praising the enemy: "the Central Library in Chang'an has an introduction to Rome. They are very great."
Praise your enemies properly in order to show your strength after defeating them.
If there is no bottom line to belittle our enemies, it is not natural to win. If we still lose a lot in the process of combat, we show our incompetence.
According to the Han people's understanding, there are so many forces opposite that can carry out those projects in wartime. There is really no one except the Romans.
"Some time ago, news came back from abroad that the Romans were wantonly starting projects in their Spanish and Egyptian provinces, all of which were coastal defense chains." Li Kuang has nothing to deal with now. He finds that the enemy has no sign of leaving the camp at all. He is still willing to talk more with Qin song: "they are very afraid that the big man's navy can reach Constantinople directly from the sea. They should be afraid indeed!"
In the past, most people, especially the army of the military, rejected and criticized the development of the Navy. They generally believed that it was better to strengthen the army with those financial resources.
At the stage of war with the Gupta Dynasty, after the Navy showed its greatness, the exclusion was reduced, and the criticism was that it disappeared.
Now Rome took part in and led the formation of the anti Han axis, which became the second axis. They began to rejoice that their own side had a strong navy. Otherwise, they didn't know how long it would take to kill them from the land.
"Didn't you notice in the newspaper?" Qin Song said happily, "Your Majesty has approved the formation of the expeditionary army. The scale of the fleet alone exceeds 2000. Seven gunships have been dispatched, including the Linzi."
The Han people who once again become the overlord nation can never wait for revenge. They really don't want to wait for the land to hit Europa one day. It is a firm attitude to set up an ocean going navy to retaliate against the Romans.
"It will take at least one year or two months for a good sea voyage. Landing from Egypt will take half a year, not counting the preparation time." Li Kuang didn't mind looking forward to his future: "at that time, we should march into Sasan."
