Chapter 744

The Han state now has no conflict of interest with the Persian Sassanian. On the contrary, it has common interests in many aspects. The most obvious common interest is against the Gupta Dynasty. In addition, the Han country also needs the cooperation of Persian Sassanian in some aspects from land to West... Or assistance. The two countries are in the honeymoon period of cooperation, so there is no need to trip each other.

In fact, even if you want to trip up or something, you just deliberately let thousands of Persians lose in a certain battlefield. No matter how you look at this conspiracy, you can't get on the table. You should set traps in the overall strategic situation.

Cheng Shuo did not get any sign or hint against the Persian friendly forces, nor did he get any instructions to deliberately protect the Persian friendly forces. Everything was judged by himself according to the immediate needs.

When they were attacked on the March, they were unable to determine the number of enemy troops coming, let alone what the surrounding situation was, such as whether there were friendly troops nearby. Whether all the enemy troops attacking themselves appeared, the correct way was to calm down, not because some local friendly troops looked bad and rashly began their own response.

The Persians in the marching troops have obviously become a breakthrough for the enemy's attack. More and more enemy troops are pouring into the Persians. The pressure in the rest of the area has been relaxed. Cheng Shuo soon found out the general situation.

"Han Army!"

The noisy battlefield is full of strange sounds. It takes a loud voice to penetrate and spread the sound in the noise. Cheng Shuo's voice is not small. After a loud roar, all the Han soldiers who heard the call responded to the word "mighty".

After the self-protection officers and men of the Han Army responded, it was like an originally silent machine waking up. Cheng Shuo shouted the word "Han Army" again. The officers and men responded with a "mighty" sound. Then the shield arrays of each formation defense split in an instant.

The split of the shield wall seems to be a blooming flower, but the flowers are harmless and beautiful. The crack of the shield wall is shot out by a sharp arrow. A large area of stunned or stunned enemy fell under the arrow. The next picture is that the Han soldiers trot and hit the sharp blade, and the blood flowers bloom in all kinds of screams.

When the Han army took action, the morale of the Persians was immediately inspired. The next moment, the battle horn they hated was roared out.

"For Rome!" Marius Ugri holding a short sword, very windy to chop down: "attack!"

The square shields cracked in the knock, and the Roman soldiers shouted "Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" rhythmically, Step on the small broken steps, one hand against the square shield, the other hand's short spear stabbed step by step, looking at the neat queue.

The roads in the forest are not regular. The widest section is about seven meters, but the narrower section is only about five meters. There are troops marching. After arranging defense, they occupy most of the space. The incoming enemy has only a few space, and most of the enemy are crowded on the edge of the forest with trees.

In this environment, bow, crossbow, javelin and other long-range attack weapons are actually of little use. Launching into the forest will inevitably be blocked by layers of tree trunks. The Han camp, which changed from defensive posture to offensive posture, only started to launch long-range weapons. Only some people who fired 1 accurate fire arrows behind, except the necessary reserve team, Are involved in hand to hand combat.

The incoming enemy does not have a unified uniform. It does not mean that they do not see people who serve in the same way. It is because the overall uniforms are not unified. In general, they can still see some enemy uniforms, but there are too many enemy troops and too few people who wear the same uniform. It doesn't take too much brains to judge that they are also joint attacks.

The non Han camp appears on the battlefield again. There is no doubt that it belongs to the Gupta Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that the Han invasion of the Gupta Dynasty has evolved into a world war.

Originally, the Han state was on its own, and then Persian sassanne intervened. The Persians also felt that the scene was not big enough. They attracted several countries to participate and organized a so-called "five Nation Alliance". In fact, in addition to the large number of troops dispatched by the Han state and the two satraps, the rest, including Persia, were mostly made of soy sauce.

As a regional overlord, the Gupta Dynasty is not vegetarian. They themselves are not weak and their economic strength is particularly strong. Realizing that war was inevitable, they quickly mobilized and won over many countries in terms of diplomatic achievements.

The three "imperial" superpowers of the world island, that is, Han and Persia became allies, and Rome showed the greatest goodwill to Han. To some extent, these three countries represent the world at this moment, and each has its own little brother. The armies of the three countries have appeared on the battlefield with the Gupta Dynasty. It is not too much to say that the Gupta Dynasty is fighting the world.

Of course, the main venue of the war is on the side of the Gupta Dynasty.

The Han Army's mobilization of two standing armies, 80000 County soldiers and 150000 servants from the army to the land battlefield with the Gupta camp has exceeded the limit. Without the supply convenience of the system warehouse, let alone about 300000 people, the long-distance supply of 30000 people will bring down the logistics line and the country. On the other side... That is, there are more than 40000 soldiers and civilians of the Han country in the southeast of PYU. There can be no more.

The number of countries gathered by the Gupta Dynasty and the number of coalition troops formed by the Gupta Dynasty, the Han army only got a vague number, and the Gupta Dynasty claimed millions.

The joint forces of the Gupta camp who entered the land battlefield, Huan Wen repeatedly spied and obtained information about 200000 people, but the joint forces claimed to be 800000.

Cheng Shuo guessed that the enemy would not attack more than 10000 based on knowing the total number of enemy troops on the land and looking at the actual situation on the battlefield. Of course, he did it without hesitation.

The air here is mostly wet in a year. After too many people bleed, the plant flavor in the moist air is immediately replaced by the bloody smell.

The two camps fought for about half an hour. The battlefield extends from around the road to the woods. Dead bodies and soldiers lying on the ground can be seen everywhere.

"More than 6000 enemy troops came." Cheng Shuo didn't pursue in person, and the orders he gave the troops were not to pursue too far. After defeating the enemy, he should come back and rest. He ordered people to torture the prisoners, got the answer, and found Marius Ugri and ergutai Bahram asked, "what are the losses of your army?"

Marius Ugri could see from his emotions that he was relaxed and didn't answer at the first time.

Ugutai Bahram's face was very ugly. He pleaded that he had not had time to count the casualties, but later said, "please allow the Han Army to hand over the prisoners to us."

The hasty and short fight has come to an end. The fleeing enemy has gone into the woods and disappeared. The Han Army has some troops to continue marching in advance.

Cheng Shuo pondered for a moment and promised ogutai Bahram's request.

Soon, the captured enemy troops were dispersed. They were tied one by one with ropes, and they were escorted into the forest in rows. The Persians were escorted in rows after rows, about five minutes at a time.

The enemy prisoners of war escorted into the woods by the Persians were kicked down and knelt on the ground by the Persians, and then wiped their necks with machetes.

People don't die immediately after being smeared. They are filled with blood quickly after the trachea is cut. People still need to struggle for a while. Depending on everyone's different, the length of struggle is also different, so they will die slowly because of suffocation.

It is impossible to carry prisoners of war in the marching state. Cheng Shuo will promise ergutai Bahram's request was that the prisoners of war should be killed anyway. He frowned at the Persian way of killing prisoners of war. The Han army killed prisoners of war by cutting off their heads very quickly, and was relieved by a short flash of knife light. Compared with the Persian way, it was cruel to those who must die.

People, the shorter the time of death, the easier it is to get relief. On the contrary, it is terrible not to lose consciousness for the first time.

Almost Cheng Shuo continued to March, and troops from the front came.

The captain who led the team was Zhang Lian. His arrival solved Cheng Shuo's confusion.

"Our attempt to attack the battalion failed to achieve the expected results. The troops retreated three miles to rest. The enemy came out of the battalion to counterattack. The enemy who came to attack you should be part of it." Zhang Lian did not bring as many troops as a division, just two songs. They didn't come to meet them. They wanted to go to a stronghold on the march route to strengthen their defense: "the attack situation has basically not changed. In general, it is to attract the enemy to take the initiative. Even if there are military affairs, I won't say much."

Cheng Shuo was relieved.

Since it is a war zone, there is no so-called mastery of everything. It is a miracle if they can really grasp all the movements of the enemy. When they encounter an assault without prior warning, it is a normal state of war. If they can't resist, of course, they are guilty. Even if they lose a lot, they are incompetent. If they resist and win, they will be rewarded.

In the hasty battle just now, the Han army lost more than 200 people, 27 died directly, the rest were seriously injured and inconvenient to move, and the remaining minor injuries did not count at all; The Persians were relatively miserable. More than 400 people died in the war, more than 300 people lost their ability to move, and the servant egutai died Bahram would feel damned, but the death of more than 20 warriors and nearly 100 soldiers really made his heart tremble with pain; Only seven Romans died in the war, and 24 were seriously injured and lost, which was the least loss.

In contrast, the number of enemy troops killed by the Han camp reached 209, and more than 500 captured enemy troops gave vent to the Persians.

"The Persians lost almost a third directly?" Of course, Si Hongzhuang wanted to meet Cheng Shuo, ask about the battle process and understand the casualties face to face: "it's really..."

Cheng Shuo knows why that happened. The Persians didn't arrange the march in the forest at the beginning. However, they didn't get attention after communication. It seems easier to bully. Of course, it will become the "MT" of the whole marching team.

"Two thirds of those achievements are the achievements of the Romans?" Si Hongzhuang contacted the Roman army for nearly a month or two and said unexpectedly, "it seems that the Romans can fight better than the Persians."

The Romans had a public opinion about whether they could fight earlier than the Persians. Cheng Shuo, who personally experienced the whole battle, was very impressed by the response to the Roman attack, including the subsequent counterattack: "the Romans obviously have rich forest combat experience, and their personal quality and overall coordination can not be underestimated."

That's Cheng Shuo's intuitive impression of seeing the Romans line up to harvest the enemy like mowing grass. The way to hit people with a square shield step by step and stab out a short spear is simple and direct, but without good training, there can never be such a high coordination ability.

Si Hongzhuang is to have a necessary understanding of the unbearable Persians and the strong Romans. Basically, he is not qualified to suggest to a higher level about the diplomatic relations between countries.

When Cheng Shuo led the troops, he didn't have time to breathe at all. He was immediately assigned to a certain area. I don't know what the situation was. The Romans were assigned to his command chain, but the Persians were left in the headquarters by Si Hongzhuang.

The headquarters of pingman school is to occupy the mountainous area to build a defense chain. Outside the mountainous area is a relatively flat jungle. The Han army attacked and cut down an area to camp, but it really can't open up too much space.

On the side of the Gupta camp, their camp is also in the jungle. The result of the prying of the Han army is that the Gupta camp has not cut down trees at all. Only a small part will build tents, others will build shacks, and more people simply sleep outdoors.

Neither side has the ability nor the effort to cut down trees. Naturally, the war zone is under the appearance of the jungle.

Seriously, if we fight in such an environment, with the urine of Zhuxia civilization, we think of fire attack at the first time. Si Hongzhuang's idea of fire attack has risen again and again. He is also afraid of the Gupta camp playing fire attack. Of course, building a camp is to cut down the necessary vacuum belt.

The problem is that Si Hongzhuang really doesn't dare to play fire attack. It's not out of the idea of protecting the forest. It's that the area is a continuous jungle. Once set fire, it's really impossible to control the fire. What's more, the continuous rainy season has just ended. No matter what it is, it has enough water. Fire attack is really not so fun.

In short, if you really want to play fire attack, it is not easy for wet trees and plants to light it. You can't play fire attack at all unless you can carry several tons of dry firewood or fire oil everywhere.

"This fucking place is full of poisonous insects..." Si Hongzhuang can get a report every day. He knows how much the village of which song has been damaged. He deeply knows that the jungle is not so easy to treat. He subconsciously looked at a nearby stove, which was boiling Python soup: "there are too many snakes."

No kidding, the Han Army found a snake's nest when building the camp, so they had to move to another camp. In this jungle, there are many poisonous snakes, and python with a bucket size of more than ten meters is not uncommon. At first, the soldiers took that kind of Python as a dragon.

"It's reasonable for general Zhengnan to ask for more enemy troops to be captured!"

Si Hongzhuang knows very well that if such a broken place needs to be developed, it can't be filled in with the life of the Han people. It's the king's way to fill in with the life of other nationalities!
