Sweep the World

On the other side of the mountain not very far away, a huge camp was set up between the green hills and jungles. On several hills, flags of various patterns were flying, and the flags had almost any shape.

In one shot, the largest flag is topped the highest, and it is surrounded by the rest of the flags in the middle. On the black flag, a simple-looking elephant is painted in white.

It is common for Ah San to use pictograms as flag patterns, but the colors of the flag face and the painting are different. Even if the generals in the same country go on an expedition, the flag face and the painting color of the flag will also be different. That is the lineage specification used to distinguish the command.

"The enemy's soldiers have few armors, most of them are bare-chested, thin and short, shaped like macaques."

Si Hongzhuang stood on the top of a mountain in the line of defense. To the northeast was the enemy's barracks, and to the west was the front line built by the Han army.

They have advanced to the northeast for nearly sixty miles. Even though it is only sixty miles, it took nearly a year. The engineering work is actually not easy to get there. Basically, they open roads in forests, build bridges when encountering water, and hit bridges. Mountain detour.

The environment of the virgin jungle is very complicated, especially in areas with abundant rainfall throughout the year. There are many kinds of poisonous insects. In addition, there are various beasts in the dense forest, and then some areas with perennial water have formed. Swamp, if the forest is dense enough and not ventilated, it is extremely easy to produce miasma.

"We only advanced sixty miles and nearly sixty thousand people died. They advanced more than one hundred and fifty miles and how many people should die?"

Fu Wei was on vacation, and it was impossible to return to the mainland after only half a month of vacation. When the ship was tired of getting stuck on land and had no good place to go, he came to the front line on land.

The northwest and northern Xinjiang of Han are in a dry period, but the Indo-China Peninsula has an endless rainy season starting from spring, even in early autumn.

The local indigenous people may have adapted to the rainy climate, but for the Han people, such a climate would appear to be very tormenting. It was raining all the time, the temperature was neither hot nor cold, but the air was very humid, and it was difficult to change and wash the clothes, and it was even rarer to have a hot meal due to lack of dry wood.

Most of the local aboriginals are currently raised by nature. In many cases, they don’t actually eat the food after cooking. They can solve the meal by looking for wild fruits in the food-rich woods. The stomachs of the wild people have long been I'm used to this way, but letting the Han people do this will not solve the hunger pangs at all, and even if the Han people do it, they will be fainted.

The Pingman Captain's Department arrested a lot of savages around and drove the construction of roads and fortifications. The savages were not easy to use at first, and they were cooperated with the food provided to the Han family. With the captured Asan and the local savages, there are also slaves from Malacca who are constantly sending in. They have built a line of defense 60 miles deep. The problem is that there are a lot of labor deaths.

In fact, the Han people don't care so much about how many Ah San and savages die. The captured Asan is valuable only for Kshatriya, and the rest of the Asan Gupta dynasty has no intention of redemption at all. Savage is more worthless than Asan. Asan's untouchables are at least very obedient, and most of the savages are wild and untamable. Just like many labors who build military fortifications, in order to keep their secrets, they have to deal with them. Asan and the savages have to be cleaned up even if they are not dead during the construction of the fortifications.

"After the rain stopped, the war began." Si Hongzhuang was standing inside a fortification, reaching out to catch the dripping water, and looking back at Fu Wei: "How do you navy want to fight this time? "

The first time the Gupta dynasty attacked the Pingman Captain’s Department came only from the sea. After failing once, it was obvious that a single-line attack was unreliable, and it was the act of gathering small partners. On the offensive line, the second attack must go on both land and water.

"You know, first we continued to invade the coast of Asan to look for and spy on landing sites, giving Asan the illusion that we could land at any time, and the result was that Asan was desperately recruiting troops and building ships, and desperately besieging him. Intercept us." Fu Wei said that Huan Wen made some necessary preparations for the landing: "A San is still very ruthless in fighting his life. Later, our penetration becomes more and more difficult, and the cost is getting higher and higher. We have to For the time being, give up fighting for the coastal waters. Asan wants to take the initiative to attack, the best way is naturally to shrink up to wait for the enemy's fighters."

It has been more than a year since the Han State began operating Malacca in the seventh year of Yuanshuo, and the Pingman Academy was established at the end of the seventh year of Yuanshuo.

At the beginning, the intensity of the war between the two sides was very low. It was the Han warships who went to the raid war first. It must be said that the Gupta side thought it was an island or something. Waiting for Gupta to discover that there is a huge military base in the southwest of the country. I realized that it's not the same thing.

The Gupta Dynasty is worthy of being a rising country, and it may be muddled... For example, after discovering that it was the Han Empire, the first thing it thought was peaceful exchanges, but it found that there was no possibility of peace and did not immediately prepare for war.

In some respects, the Gupta dynasty was still a relatively efficient regime. If the central government was incompetent, it would never be possible to switch from a peaceful system to a war system in one year, let alone recruit 300,000 troops immediately after the southern mobilization. During the preparations for a military war, they were able to unite even most neighboring countries, which also showed that the status of regional hegemon at this stage has not been shaken.

"After all, we underestimated Ah San!" Fu Wei said in a general sense: "Just as we thought that Kyushu is the world before, I really didn't think about any power outside the region."

It can transform the country from a peaceful to a war system within a year, and it can also recruit 300,000 soldiers at once. The speed of this transformation system, the base of the population, is to say that it is not a strong country or it is deceiving itself.

It has to be said that the larger the country's territory and the larger the population base, the more difficult it is for the state system to change from peace to war.

It has not been less than a year for the countries of the past dynasties of Zhu Xia to switch from peace to war. Usually, the border is full of beacon smoke or even already fallen. The rest of the places either don’t know what’s going on, or they can only do it in a hurry after knowing it. The class that governs the country may still be arguing, arguing, arguing...

That is, the central authorities stopped arguing and had already determined that they would launch a counterattack, but Shente seldom was able to immediately pull out the corps, either by all kinds of wrangling, or there was not enough reserve materials for war. If it hadn’t been for the territories of the countries of the various dynasties of the Xia Dynasty to be large enough, I really don’t know how many times the country would have been subjugated before the grind was over.

"How can they be so fast?"

"Ha ha ha..., you may not believe it, it is the so-called Kshatriya who have made merit."

It is really the Kshatriya of the Gupta dynasty who did meritorious service. They themselves were a class that existed for war, just like the warrior class of various countries in the summer and spring and autumn periods, waiting for war anytime and anywhere, and once they receive an order, they can pull The author reported immediately, a little integration is a big army. Therefore, Zhu Xia civilizations were not all procrastination in dealing with wars, and there were also times when they were highly effective.

In the classical era, the more a country with one army, one country, and one dominance, the faster the response to war. Many countries divided their citizens into different levels in order to cope with wars provoked or passively provoked.

The current system of the three surnames is still not corrupt, especially the ruler Samadora Gupta is an ambitious monarch. If there was no Han army coming, Samadhara Gupta had planned to take action on Vajadha. That is to say, the Gupta dynasty was also preparing for war, but the Gupta dynasty was originally used to prepare for the war. It's on Han.

The light rain just now didn't know when it had become heavier. Looking out from the top of the mountain, the whole world seemed to be covered with a veil, and everything looked hazy.

"Will the enemy take advantage of the limited vision to launch a surprise attack?"

"It's been dealt with early."

where is this place? There are dense forests everywhere, mountains everywhere, and there is not a wide field of vision at all, and there are opportunities for sneak attacks. Otherwise, what is the purpose of the Pingman Captain's Department to build a defense depth forward?

Fu Wei really didn't know the real situation on land, so he asked curiously.

"Small stock exchanges have been going on all the time." Si Hongzhuang said without the slightest surprise: "At this moment in a corner we don't know, fierce fighting may be taking place."

"Then you..." Fu Wei asked strangely: "Can you still be so calm?"

"The terrain determines everything." Si Hongzhuang couldn't help being calm, and said: "This ghost place cannot be deployed. The attacking party can only advance by pulling out a mountain or a stronghold. It can unconsciously pull out certain things. The stronghold, but it is unable to capture the hilltop quietly."

Fu Wei also thought about it. The complex terrain, coupled with the positions with deep defensive chains, is really not a slight advantage to the defensive side, and he is not afraid of the so-called surprise attack.

"From here, to the west is a large mountainous area." Si Hongzhuang drew his hand and pointed to the northeast: "There is a flat area over there, which is full of jungle."

Fu Wei was not in the navy at the beginning, but was transferred to the navy because he served as Jiang Duling. He had been in the navy before. He rolled his eyes, showing a suddenly realized expression.

"Did you think about it?" Si Hongzhuang saw the change in Fu Wei's expression. He said with a smile: "We are stationed with fortifications and use high-intensity battles to kill the enemy's spirit, looking for opportunities to use terrain to annihilate the enemy's forces, and then ..."

"Wait for the morale of the enemy army to fall before counterattack." Fu Wei simply followed up, saying that similar tactics have been fought too much by the Xia Civilizations: "The defensive counterattack is indeed very suitable."

"There are too many enemy forces, but there are other benefits." Si Hongzhuang didn't know who or what he was laughing at. After a short while, he said, "Allied forces or something, they have made up a huge number of troops. , But history no longer proves the disadvantages of a complex composition of an army?"

There are simply too many examples. The formation of coalition forces by multiple parties is indispensable in intrigue. Everyone is afraid of being consumed, unless it is always a tailwind. Once there is a bit of setback, no one will be willing to sell their lives.

"So you are here." Egutai Bachram can speak Chinese, but his accent is very strange. He went into the shed and immediately took off his hat and fur clothes, and hung it on the hook next to him with ease, and said in a complaining tone: "The gang of savages took advantage of the rain to attack, and the number is very large."

Si Hongzhuang "haha" laughed a few times and teased: "Seeing that there is no trace of blood on your body, do you know that the savage was shot by a bow and arrow?"

The Persian army also participated in the garrison of the Pingman Captain's Department, and it also specifically required that it must be the front line. A prominent part of the entire defense line was assigned to the Persians by Si Hongzhuang.

"The naked savages, armed with bamboo spears and weird things, roared like beasts, and charged forward one after another, but the Persians who were still used killed a river of blood." Egutai Bahram exaggerated. He smiled and said, "I have to say that the Han people construct fortifications very cleverly, and the wild men are really stupid."

The savage they were talking about should be a certain force in the coalition army, or the unlucky one who simply caught up to test the Han army's defense line.

It’s quite simple to distinguish whether it’s a savage or not. It’s a savage in the true sense that there is no cloth underneath it. Large tribes or indigenous people who built a country will have at least a piece of cloth to cover private parts. The lower the civilization level, the cloth on the indigenous people The less, the harder it is to see metal materials in weapons.

It didn't take long for the Japanese man Niu Zansi to come over. He didn't even remove the rainproof gear after entering the house. He knelt on the ground and gave a salute, waiting to be greeted, and report respectfully.

It doesn't matter what Niu Zansi called before. After he got the Chinese book, he gave himself such a name and was responsible for a front mountain. He came to report that he had also encountered a surprise attack. Unlike the Persians, they counterattacked after the surprise attack.

"Is it stupid, I don't know..." Si Hongzhuang said with a smile ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and changed to seriousness: "Two places separated by a few tens of miles to test together...", halfway he looked at the cow. After four, without asking anything, he paused before continuing to say: "The enemy can't be restrained anymore."

Perhaps it was to show the correctness of Si Hongzhuang's guess, but it was not because someone came to report the raid or something. It was someone from the navy who told Fu Wei that his vacation was over and he should report back.

"Ketak’s enemy navy has left the port." Fu Wei had nothing to take away. While wearing rain gear, he said: "We spied a ship appearing on a coast eighty miles to the north. It looks like I want to build a nearby water village."

There is a long coastline on the Asanyang side. After repeated surveys on the Han side, four natural harbours have been discovered. One of them is eighty miles north of the Pingman Captain's Department.

"It looks like the Navy has succeeded."

Si Hongzhuang also knew that there was a natural seaport there, and he knew why he didn't rush to build a military port and returned his salute to Fu Wei, who was wearing rain gear.

At the same time, the two said in unison: "Take care!"
