"How hot!"
"Take it off?"
"That's not good..."
"It's too hot."
Persia is close to Lek in the A3 continent. The weather in summer is stuffy and hot. Even the wind blowing by the sea doesn't feel any coolness at all.
The climate is dry and muggy. The environment looks like there is no fertile soil. Liu Ming doesn't understand what to do with such a place.
Before Liu Ming went abroad, he heard rumors that the land in Outland was full of all kinds of beauty. It seemed that he could pick up a piece of dog head gold in two steps, and even cut down a valuable piece of wood in the forest.
Maybe Nanyang and Indochina Peninsula really have so many opportunities as rumored, but the oil-rich A3 continent is not so beautiful. They have not been to Fahrenheit city and can't see the extreme luxury. What they see along the coast and other areas is only primitive and desolate.
Persian sassanne is one of the three known empires in the world. There are not many rumors about Persia among the Han people.
It is said that bossasan is a country with a huge territory. The environment in the East and middle is not good, the north is a plateau, the south is a place with dense forests, and the main economically developed area is in the West.
"Fortunately, we don't have to go to the hinterland of Persia, or can we live?"
"What do you mean?"
"Our location is in the southwest of Persia. It's so harsh and muggy. It's everywhere in the East and middle of the desert. How hot should it be?"
"The people on the other side of the fleet looked at the thermometer and said that the temperature was 39 degrees."
"Look for the local area. Where can the temperature reach 39 degrees?"
Liu Ming still couldn't stand it. He took off his coat and left only a pair of underpants.
The military uniforms of the Han Army are divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, but it depends on where the army is. Some places wear spring military uniforms all year round, while others wear winter military uniforms all year round. Military uniforms in summer are jackets and shorts. Ordinary clothes are made of hemp, dresses are made of brocade, and combat clothes are made of wool.
Woolen cloth was a product 14 years after Yuan Shuo. At first, it was rare and regarded as a luxury. However, with a large number of people going to the grassland to join the textile industry, coupled with the large-scale production of Shaofu, it soon became common.
However, wool is actually uncomfortable to wear, but the Han army only stipulated the appearance of military uniforms, regardless of what to wear inside. Many people would prepare silk or brocade and silk underwear themselves.
In fact, only the Han Empire today is so particular about it. In a way, it also shows that the military is not short of money. Not only the military is not short of money, but the soldiers also have enough money in their pockets. If they don't have clothes for decades, they can be regarded as rich families.
The prosperity of the Han army was not just reflected in the stress of dress. The military issued personal standard accessories. In addition to clothes, there were more than ten kinds of iron kettle, iron tableware, blanket, soap and belt, and the rations would not be short of meat and dairy products,
In addition to the standard allocation issued by the military, soldiers also have transportation share. Ordinary soldiers are five kilograms. The higher their position, the higher the transportation share. At the same time, the title will also have a bonus. Their share of transportation can be goods carried from home or mailed from outside home.
For soldiers who go abroad to fight, their transportation share is usually used to mail some booty. In this way, you don't have to always carry a lot of things around.
Transportation is carried out once a month, that is, when the goods can be sent to the people who want to receive them, there is basically no accurate time.
Even soldiers are too extravagant to arrange transportation shares? I'm afraid I didn't take into account the deeper intention.
The seemingly luxurious transportation share, although the things transported back belong to the private ownership of the soldiers, after all, those things are in the mainland, and they are bound to become a part of the mainland.
To put it bluntly, the military's extravagant share of transportation is actually acquiescence in the army's looting outside the country.
Such behavior is now that the Han Empire has done so orderly. Compared with the Han Empire, other countries do not exist looting, but they do not have such procedures as the Han Empire.
"They're just around us?"
"If they get close, they will be shelled by the ship. They don't have the courage."
This Han army occupied the coastline of Lek, did not conduct in-depth behavior, and only built camps on the beach.
After a short three days, the Persian army slowly gathered should be about 35000? At the beginning, they would also try to attack the Han Army camp on the beach. Every time they entered the firing range of the Han Empire gunships, they would be shelled, and then they would only surround but not attack.
The Persian army's encirclement circle is about twenty-five miles away from the Han Army camp. It may be forces in different regions. Perhaps they want to induce the Han Army on land to take the initiative to attack. About 35000 Persian troops do not gather together, but are divided into at least twenty strands to form a semicircle distribution.
The Han Army that landed was close to 3000, and then withdrew to the sea for 2000, but left less than 1000 people in the camp on the beach. Liu Ming's team is one of them.
They thought they would encounter a stormy counterattack. To be honest, they were still a little nervous when they faced the enemy of about 35000 with less than 1000. They retreated when they saw that the enemy was repeatedly shelled and knew the composition of the enemy.
The current shelling is far more powerful than killing, which is determined by the shell itself.
In fact, if they are not afraid of the impact of life and death, the Persian army can definitely rush to the edge of the Han Army camp. Once they are close to the Han Army camp, the gunships at sea must stop the shelling to prevent accidental injury, but the Persian army obviously does not have enough determination.
One after another, the Persian army never knew where to gather. The more the Persian army came later, the more confused their clothes were. It didn't look like a standing army. It should be an armed force gathered from the people temporarily?
The enemy only surrounded but did not attack, and could not see the appearance of daring to approach. As a result, the Han Army in the camp changed from high alert to normal alert.
Liu Ming is not on duty today. If they are willing, they can even return to the warships at sea, but the weather is really too hot. Returning to the sea is not more comfortable than land. It will even be more painful because they are exposed to the sun after being stained with salt water at sea. Naturally, they choose to stay on land.
The Han Army camp on the beach is not very particular. It is surrounded by a temporarily pulled fence wall. In the back, there are six walls of different heights every ten meters, and no ditches have been excavated.
Look at the facilities in the camp. Without local materials, houses can't be built. Only rows of white triangular tents can be seen, and the larger tents are canteens or warehouses.
"Something's happening!" Zhou chubo stood up and raised his hand to the East: "look over there!"
Almost the next moment Zhou chubo reminded, drums were sounded in the camp.
Twenty miles to the east of the Han Army camp on the beach, from a distance, we can see that the Persians are advancing in groups, but the distance between each of them is a little far, and the nearest is more than five meters.
Liang Mingang was drinking ice grape wine. When he heard the drum from the land, he stood up, put down the cup and picked up the telescope to observe.
Xingyang was one of the two gunships left by Huanwen, and the other was the slogan of Beijing.
As captains, Bao Qing and Liang min were clearly informed by Huan Wen that their main task is to ensure Liu Ming's safety. Once something can't be done, Liu Ming must be evacuated to the ship, and the beach guard is another main task.
"The number is 3000. The enemy is in a loose formation." Xiao Xin has been an intelligence officer on the Xingyang for two years. With enough experience, she just picked up a telescope and immediately judged the number and intention of the enemy. With the permission of Captain Liang min, he went to the microphone and shouted: "the auxiliary gun is loaded with fragment bombs, a round of spot firing!"
Another artillery of Beijing slogan also got the same order.
Soon, the two gunships anchored on the sea sounded one after another. After the muzzle extending out of the hull roared, the gun body returned to the cabin, and the shells burst out in the thick smoke. After a period of leap into the land, they gradually lost their kinetic energy from the Beach Camp to the East, and then their position began to lower, and the internal burning fuse touched the bottom, The projectile exploded and the shrapnel was blasted out.
"Damn Persians!" Ibn Abdul stepped forward step by step. Every step he took, there would be a sharp pain: "they should go to hell!"
Ibn Is the name Abdul familiar? He was one of the Arab leaders funded by Wang Meng. He was captured in the Iraqi battlefield six months ago and transferred to the south of sassanne a month ago.
If you carefully identify the people approaching the Han Army camp on the beach, you can tell by looking at their appearance that most of them are not Persians at all, most of them are Arabs, a few are Serbs, and even fewer are Persians. They were either prisoners of war or slaves, and the rest were supervisors.
The captured Arabs were basically wounded, not in the fight, but with whips, like Ibn Abdul's arms, legs and back were full of whip marks.
Because the weather here is too hot, many injured wounds have long festered, and pus can be seen at any glance. If such a situation is not treated urgently, it will generally have a high fever in inflammation and die if it doesn't last.
Five or six meters in the sky, shells continue to explode. After each explosion, shrapnel can always sweep down at least one or two people, and even take more than a dozen people in serious cases.
Ibn Abdul saw a black thing flying at a very fast speed and instinctively fell to the ground. The next moment, the explosion came from the top of his head. A Persian who raised a whip to beat him burst out with blood in his head.
I feel something falling on me, Ibn Abdul was a little scared of the dead. He turned around and saw a head with red and white liquid. He was relieved immediately.
Ibn Abdul already showed signs of fever. Not only him, but most of the people who were driven out to attack the Han Army camp on the beach were in very poor physical condition. They belonged to the type that could not last long before they could use Persian waste.
"Wait a minute, don't run when you are close to the Han Army camp!" Ibn Abdul knows that many Persians can understand Arabic, but now is not the time to care: "attack the Persians around you immediately, and then shout 'I make arabo'. Be sure to remember this sentence!"
There was a constant response to Ibn Abdul, there are promises and threats. Naturally, the Arabs promise, and the Persians must threaten and scold.
Persians who understand Arabic have begun to attack Arabs and Cypriots nearby. Their behavior seems to be killing each other in the eyes of the Han Army in the camp.
In fact, the Han people can't tell who is Arab and who is Persian or Serb from their appearance. They can only clearly distinguish ah San and the black skin system of Africa. Many Han soldiers looked at each other for a while when they saw the enemy dragging their way to the camp. They were only shelled on the way, but they immediately fell into mutual killing.
Before long, a Persian Archer made a little clear to the Han army. The Persian Archer was shooting at unknown armed forces.
"It should be prisoners of war or slaves." Liu Ming has entered the combat post and guessed: "they are forced to attack us, and then choose to resist."
Han people are no strangers to this situation and are proud of it.
"The captain has an order! Don't let anyone near the camp!"
There are only about 1000 Han troops in the Beach Camp, but the chief officer is a school captain.
Chen Zhan is the chief officer of the camp. He doesn't care who resists the Persians, where they come from, or what they want to do. He cares about guarding the camp and where they may receive some guys of unknown origin.
He got up again and ran to Ibn at the Beach Camp Abdul, he looked at the camp of the Han Army to see the hope of life.
The gunships on the sea are no longer shelling them, but extending backward. At present, the main guns and auxiliary guns are firing, and the shelling is the Persian army within the firing range.
Ibn Abdul is a leader, so he must master the visual measurement of distance. He approached the Han Army camp about 150 meters. Every step forward was considered to be facing survival.
On this side of the Han Army camp, a group of crossbow men have entered the waiting state. They shoot their arrows in the voice of the command.
Ibn Abdul didn't feel surprised when he saw the archery of the Han army. Instead of stagnating, he even accelerated his running speed.
"We are Arabs!" Ibn Abdul shouted: "Dear Han brothers, don't shoot arrows!"
It's not just Ibn Abdul is shouting, but Ibn is the most standard Chinese speaker Abdul.
"What are they shouting?"
"Whatever it is, archery is right!"
