Sweep the World

His own casualties were less than 2,000, but he killed or captured more than 34,000 Asan. The battle damage ratio was an astonishing one to seventeen.

If calculated based on the ratio of battle losses to deaths in battle, the ratio of deaths in battle is one to ninety.

As a price, the Han army consumed more than 800,000 arrows, almost as if it had achieved a result with 30 arrows.

Because the Han army was advancing on the battlefield, the arrows fired could be recovered, but in fact it did not consume as much as 800,000. There are only a few arrows that are not recyclable, and the number of arrows used by the Han army within three days is actually only about 60,000.

The Han army's unhurried tactics will make the onlookers feel boring, but for Asan, it will be uncomfortable.

It's not that Ah San has not tried to counterattack. They mustered the utmost courage and called out to retake the camp occupied by the Han army. Facing the arrows of the Han army, they repeatedly charged and fell on the road. The courage he had just gathered within a hundred meters of the Han army had long since vented.

Sanmen often rushed halfway and fled back in a desperate manner. When they ran backward, they were shot three or four times out of ten. They didn’t even touch a piece of the hair of the Han soldiers. Less than half went back shivering.

It's not that the Asanmen are incompetent, but the combination of the bows and crossbows of the Han army is really terrifying.

Going back for hundreds of years, as the strongest nomadic Huns on the Asian continent, they assembled hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege a (Western) Han army that had only 5,000 soldiers and a total of 5,000 soldiers. The two sides changed continuously. The field, after the encirclement war that followed, the Huns fell tens of thousands of people, but the (Western) Han Army couldn't help it. The (Western) Han Army was still at the end of the war until the arrows were consumed.

History has repeatedly proved one point, whether it is a fortified or defensive battle, once there is enough archer and arrow reserves, it is invincible and solid as a rock, especially if it has a range advantage. It is not that the attacker (defender) is brave or not, which can determine the victory or defeat of the war. It is the time when the arrows are exhausted that can determine the war.

"The total number of arrows we reserve exceeds 8 million!" Huan Wen didn't say nonsense. The real number is like this: "Come here to destroy the country!"

This expeditionary army, which belongs to the standing army, has only 60,000 Han troops and 80,000 county soldiers. It has 80,000 crossbow machines of various models and 120,000 bows of different tensions.

Just counting the number of crossbow machines and bows, anyone can operate a crossbow. It is difficult to draw the bow and shoot accurately, but it is not difficult to just pull the string to shoot the arrow.

Crossbows are mechanical, and there is no difficulty in operating them. It is easy to learn. If you want to be a qualified crossbowman, it is difficult to learn how to project, flat, squeeze, and diffuse in accordance with the requirements of each password under various passwords. That is to say, it is difficult to execute the password.

Operating a bow is far more difficult than operating a crossbow. Don’t look at just holding the bow in one hand and pulling the string to set the arrow, but how to hold the bow, how to draw the string and how to set the arrow, how to loosen the string and how to shoot the arrow The momentary cooperation, the angle of holding the bow and whether it is steady or not, all determine how far you can shoot and whether you can shoot accurately.

Archers also need to understand how to follow the commands to shoot different arrows, which is far more complex than crossbowmen. In this way, it is a matter of course that the difficulty of training archers is much higher than that of crossbowmen.

For example, if you want to throw a crossbow, because the crossbow soldier holds the crossbow, its string tension is determined by the machine, so you only need to know how many angles to raise it. But archers, they have to control not only the force and amplitude of the string, but also the angle of inclination of the bow. If there is a slight mistake, the shooting distance will not meet the requirements.

"It's full of knowledge!" Julian hadn't deliberately observed what the archer was doing before. Hearing the officers of the Han army yelling out complicate passwords, let's watch the Chinese archers follow the instructions. In archery, the angles of the arrows fired by different passwords are different: "We are not good at archery, is it because the soldiers can't do such complicated things?"

For Rome without a regular archer army, no Roman can answer Julian's questions.

The Persians who were watching were equally shocked.

In the history of the Persians, there have always been regular archers. They once relied on their archers to run across Central Asia and West Asia. They were even able to rub them on the ground when they encountered the Romans.

There is a saying that the reason why the Romans studied the tortoise shell formation was forced by the Persians, and then it was clear that the Persians’ archery had no effect on the Roman legions that formed the tortoise shell formation, but the Persians still did not change their tactics. The balance of victory in the Persian war also tilted towards the Romans.

The Persians are very good at archery. They also have their own arrow culture. In the long history, no special armor-piercing arrows have been developed. Furthermore, they have ignored the styles of archers that also need to be matched between distance and near, even many times. I never thought that archers also need elite melee troops to guard.

They were staying in the camp of Asan. The Han army steadily covered the field with rain of arrows as they did a few days ago. They sent small troops to try out the camp before Asan moved out of the camp.

Time moved back and the battlefield moved forward. What changed was that the number of times the crossbowmen of the Han army were used decreased, and archers replaced the position of the crossbowmen.

"From the sideline of the camp at the western end, we are now within two (Rome) miles of the camp." Flaves looked at the surrounding area as a messy camp, which was six deep in the length unit of the Han army. Li: "I found that the faith people's will to resist has been disintegrated, and most camps retreated after only a round of arrows."

"Yes." Julian said with a frown, "We think the Faith has lost the will to resist, but General Sirius asked us not to go any further."

Xias leaned over and said mysteriously: "I got news that a nobleman from Hiero accidentally fell into a pit. He yelled and led people away. There were dozens of believers hidden inside. ."

The nobleman of Hiero is undoubtedly dead, but those A San hiding in the dug hole were discovered, which is enough to explain a problem, A San actually played a trick!

Both Julian and Flavis were stunned, and subconsciously looked around, looking for places where underground space might exist.

"I was going to the rear just now, and was invited back very politely." Xias was very happy that he knew what the Romans hadn't noticed, and continued in a bragging tone: "The soldiers of the Han Empire are carpeting. Search, seal the entrance and exit every time you find one and pour cigarettes inside."

"I thought it was a nearby fire for cooking..." Flavis was indeed wondering how so much smoke would rise, and jokingly said, "Yero people have done a good job!"

In fact, the work of "digging moles" was mainly handed over to the Japanese servant army, and they were happy to do this kind of thing.

The nobleman of Hierro did meritorious service, but he was not the first to discover that there were Asan Tibetan soldiers underneath. Before him, the Han army inspected the occupied camps and had quietly spoken to Asan from the underground Tibetan soldiers. Carry out annihilation.

"Now that I know, why do the Serris continue to move forward..." Julian stopped halfway through his words, and made a dazed expression: "According to the Serris, they are going to plan?"

Oh, Julian can even speak idioms?

Several people were chatting, but Wang Meng appeared.

"Everyone." Wang Meng saluted and said hello, explaining his intention: "General Zhengnan prepares a banquet, please go to the banquet."

Several people glanced at each other silently, guessing whether there must be a big move next, or the kind of action that is too big to care for their safety.

Almost when they arrived at the place where the banquet was set up, a very violent noise broke out on the front line, first shouting out a part, and then spreading to the entire front.

During the war, Huan Wen naturally did not have the time to entertain, and even Yuan Qiao did not show up. In fact, Wang Menglai presided over this banquet to let international friends out of the war zone.

"Angel Wang~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Julian drank little wine tastelessly, not touching the dishes that he usually likes to eat, and said gloomily: "We are here to watch the game. Now that the real war breaks out, we are drinking here. "

"This is also for your safety considerations." Wang Meng said sincerely: "The start of the war is to fight on that kind of complicated terrain. We cannot guarantee your absolute safety."

The reason is this, Julian didn't dare to pack votes for everyone and said that he didn't care about the danger, and wanted to say that he didn't care about the danger and wanted to watch the battle, but then he abruptly endured it.

"There will be no variables in this war. It must be the Han Empire's ultimate victory." Xias said a compliment that was not a compliment, and then a few more gossips before telling the true purpose: "We I have already seen what I should see, the monsoon is coming soon, isn’t it..."

"We have received accurate news." Wang Meng understood that the Persians did not want to stay in the Asan Continent and wanted to go to the Han mainland as soon as possible. When Fahrenheit City opens, it will be on the battlefield within 20 days at the earliest."

Almost everyone showed a surprised expression. They were not surprised at the personal expedition of Samadhara Gupta, but were frightened that the Han people were prepared to grasp the whereabouts of Samadhara Gupta.

They were even more shocked that what the Han army put out was to use the regular army and the servant army to have a total force of only 220,000, to fight against the 600,000 or more under the command of Samadhara Gupta. Triple decisive battle.

"Seris..., you..." Flavis didn't stammer deliberately, he was really shocked, and subconsciously asked, "Is there any reinforcements behind?"

Wang Meng just smiled without talking.
