Sweep the World

"Or..." There was a desperate expression on Elbata's face: "The whole army will charge!"

The situation on the battlefield undoubtedly showed that the anti-Han axis coalition forces were at a disadvantage. They dispatched 800 chariots, about 4,000 cavalry, and 13,000 infantry, but they were pushed forward by the Han army. An upright advancing style of play that not only makes no progress but even collapses and retreats.

It cannot be said that the Persians and Romans were not brave. They were the first army in the world that dared to advance against the Han riflemen.

The Persians lost about 70% before they collapsed.

The Romans suffered more than 80% of their losses before they collapsed.

They have shown amazing will. One thing to be clear is that when most armies lose about 10% of their battles, the collapse happens naturally.

An army that is recognized as a strong army usually needs to be able to endure about 30% of battle damage.

Under normal circumstances, a 10% battle loss in an army means that those brave and daring have been completely damaged, and the rest are either cowards or those who follow the trend.

With the advantage of the Han army, they actually admire the enemy who can endure more than half of the casualties and still demonstrate the will to fight.

If the soldier is admired, the officer will be jealous.

An army that is not afraid of death is not terrible. What is worth worrying about is that an army that is not afraid of death does not lack training and has a perfect organization.

With the foundation for training the army and the armed forces, coupled with the tenacity, it is enough not to give them a chance. Once they seize the opportunity, they can usually create miracles.

The number of enemy troops that ran away on the frontal battlefield was very small, and more than 70% were left behind.

Every time Liu Shen took a step forward, he had to avoid the corpses on the ground, and these corpses were made up by the riflemen who had been pushed forward. Each corpse had at least one hole in which blood came out.

After being hit by a bullet, he was compensated, but he was very tenacious and did not die. Their brains are completely occupied by pain, their bodies will roll up like dried shrimps, their eyes will be closed and their bodies will continue to tremble slightly, and they will soon be in shock due to too much blood loss and die in shock.

From the start of the war to the defeat of the soldiers of the anti-Han Axis coalition forces on the battlefield, everything happened within an hour and a half.

Because of the fighting, the Han army spent most of the time staying in place to carry out platoon shots, and the distance it advanced was only about 600 meters.

When the anti-Han Axis coalition forces sent the fighting troops to show their defeat, Marus and Erbata retreated with the troops that had not participated in the war.

In the end, they still did not dare to send troops to fight again. The armies of the two empires were defeated so badly. The chance of using their own troops to refuel more than 80% is how many deaths.

Regarding the mobilization of other countries (nations) of the anti-Han axis coalition forces, it doesn't matter whether those people are willing to obey orders, those in power are really willing to send troops. The greatest possibility of those miscellaneous soldiers is that they will collapse and then turn their heads to attack their own formation.

"Return to the camp." Malus's face was very frustrated: "Using the camp for defense is our only option at the moment."

Most of the other ethnic groups don't know how to build fortresses. The Romans and Persians are proficient. At the same time, the Romans will have more experience in building fortresses.

The Romans were really good at building fortresses, especially after conquering the Greeks, they gained a lot of knowledge about engineering in Greece.

Like the Persians who also have a method of building fortifications, they are nothing more than making fences and rejecting horses, digging one or more trenches, and then digging countless traps to lay down spikes. If they are more particular, they will add more. Fence walls or earthen walls, but they rely on hands for everything, basically no mechanical tools.

The Romans are different. They have mastered the lifting technology and have a large number of machines that make engineering construction more convenient. They build the same fortresses as the Persians. The Persians need ten days, and the Romans can build them in three or four days. complete.

Since the relationship was not so smooth at the beginning of the war, Marus had the knowledge that he had built a fortification on a large scale from his march to the banks of the Penchi River and fought a protracted battle with the Han army.

They are building a fort on the west bank of the Penchi River.

The first camp was less than 500 meters away from the Penchi River. Since this fortress was within the range of the artillery fire of the Han army, it was only a simple digging of two trenches, a fence and a three-layer fence wall, and it was destroyed by the Han army on the seventeenth day.

The second fortress was built on the west bank of the Penchi River three kilometers away. There are as many as six trenches with a width of about five meters in front of it, each with an interval of about 20 meters. Behind the trench is a "city wall" that was built using wood structures and rammed with earth walls. Its width is about four meters and the height is also four meters. The length of the "city wall" is more than 700 meters. Extending out is the built-up wooden frame for driving high, which will continue to be rammed on the earth wall when there is enough time, with a large number of arrow towers.

The third battalion became a semi-curved shape. The Romans made use of the large number of miscellaneous soldiers to build a Great Wall on the front. The construction was not stopped while the war was going on. It has far more trenches, walls, and traps than the second fort, and the height of the "city wall" is also much higher.

The current second camp, its current role has been transformed into the forward base of the anti-Han axis coalition forces, and the anti-Han axis coalition forces that are retreating on the frontal battlefield are retreating to this camp.

The Han people were extremely surprised that the anti-Han axis coalition forces could still impress the project during the war, and that they were able to scale up in a short period of time.

It's not that the Han army didn't think about sending troops to interfere. It's just that the number of anti-Han axis coalition forces was really too large, and the terrain was too restrictive.

Li Kuang sent cavalry to harass several times, either facing the interception by more than ten times his own enemy, or rushing in there was a danger of being surrounded and eaten, and then he would simply ignore it.

"Where did the artillery force go forward?"

"Huiduhu has already followed within a hundred meters behind the advancing troops."

As the Han army is advancing, Zhung Yāng is still an array of riflemen, but on the two wings there are only cold-weapon units left on foot. The cavalry has been scattered and is still playing a "cat and mouse" game with the anti-Han axis coalition forces.

The terrain of the battlefield is really too restrictive for the Han army to cross the river to the west bank. The lack of depth is only one aspect, and the other is because the number of anti-Han axis coalition forces is too much. In the clamped state, unless there are Han troops crossing the river from other sections of the river, otherwise there is no room for detours at all.

In some respects, the Han army likes such a battlefield very much. They have 10,000 riflemen. Facing such a battlefield, they will not have any restrictions. Even being at such a disadvantage can attract the enemy to take the initiative to attack and fight. It's a dignified confrontation, which can give full play to the biggest advantage of the platoon gun.

Liu Shen stood on the spot when he heard the order to "stop". He looked left and right, and the robe beside him showed a somewhat exhausted expression.

The place where they stopped was only 500 meters away from the camp of the anti-Han Axis coalition forces. At first glance, there was no enemy outside the camp. The enemy was standing on the "city wall". The army is behind the "city wall".

"Rest in place, replenish water, eat, and don't walk around at will!"

Fighting without stopping for an hour and a half, people have always been in a state of mental tension, and afterwards, they have been under exercise. People will really feel dry and tongue. Drink some water appropriately and eat some food. It can relax the spirit and restore physical strength.

Liu Shen took out the water bottle hanging on the back side and filled it for a while. After taking a few sips, he felt that his chest was finally not so stuffy. He lifted the kettle up and tilted, the water was poured on his face and flowed down the neck to the body, and the whole person immediately felt a sense of comfort to "live" again.

Many people are doing such a move. The Punch River is next to it. You don't have to worry about not being able to replenish the water source. You can relax your body and mind by drenching it with water, so why not do it?

"This stuff is really unpalatable." Ji Hai was chewing on the dry noodles in his mouth, while disgusting: "If it weren't for the crunchy taste, it would really be useless."

The rations carried by soldiers are dried noodles wrapped in cloth bags. They are ground into noodles and then deep-fried. It will indeed have a crispy taste with almost no nutritional value, but it is better than easy. Carry and not easy to deteriorate.

Liu Shen was chewing on dried noodles, pouring water into his mouth from time to time, his eyes were on the "city wall" that was not far away, and the enemy army above was busy.

"They are actually quite amazing." Ji Hai admired: "I built such a thing in less than a month. I heard that there is another one on the west side."

Speaking of start-up projects, the Han people have seen more projects in the past ten years and gradually understood what is called efficiency. At the same time, they believe that no one in the world can compare themselves to engineering construction.

The soldiers of the Han Empire have always been a group of proud people due to some special reasons. They firmly believe that no matter what they are, the Han people are at the top level in the world.

Now, Ji Hai, who is a "second generation" and a soldier, exclaimed, showing that he was really surprised.

"The Romans love all kinds of projects. They are no strangers to road construction and city walls." Liu Shen knew that the Romans have always had a history of building the Great Wall. The Great Wall was built with every period of defense needed. : "Wang Shizhong (Wang Meng) has been to Rome and introduced Rome's traffic conditions and various arenas, especially praised the Romans for their dedication to building aqueducts."

Including Ji Hai, Xu Guang and other "second generations" all understand.

The Romans are not barbarians, they also have a relatively high level of civilization for the current world. Romans who like to start engineering have their own mechanics. They use machinery when they are building engineering, which can be compared with those who don’t. A nation that understands mechanics can achieve faster construction speed.

While they were chatting, there were bursts of cannon sounds behind them.

After the artillery shells leave the barrel and fly into the sky, they will make a whistling sound as they break through the air. More than 40% of them flew for a certain distance and hit the busy "city wall" of the anti-Han axis coalition soldiers. The rest either landed prematurely or passed over. The city wall hit the camp area behind.

The "city wall" was mainly supported by wooden frames. One after another, the rammed earth wall was recessed but did not collapse. The wall that was not compacted in time was blasted out of the frame. Effect.

The artillery units of the Han army fired solid bullets, mainly used to bombard the "city wall", not to cause many casualties of the enemy.

"It's amazing." Qin Song looked at the'city wall' that was being bombarded constantly, and praised the opponent for the strength of his artillery troops: "Our fastest record is to build a stone masonry over ten miles in a month. The city wall?"

What Qin Song was talking about was a long time ago. At that time, they were still a weak force in Changguang County. They were forced to retreat to the Liaodong Peninsula by Shijie Zhao, and had to build the Great Wall in order to cope with the threat of Murong Yan.

Of course, the system peasants who built a ten-mile city wall in a month were considered by countless forces as a miracle.

"The Romans do have their own merits." Li Kuang did not reject praising the enemy: "Zhōng Yāng Library in Chang'an has an introduction about Rome, and they are quite remarkable."

Praise one's own enemies appropriately to show their strength after defeating them.

If there is no bottom line to slander one's own enemy, wouldn't it be taken for granted to win, and if the losses in the battle process are not light, it is showing one's incompetence.

According to the understanding of the Han people, there are so many forces on the other side who can carry out those projects in wartime. There is really no one except the Romans.

"Some time ago, there was news from overseas that the Romans were launching large-scale projects in their Spanish and Egyptian provinces. They were all coastal defense chains." Li Kuang has nothing to deal with now, and found that the enemy has no signs of leaving the camp. , I am still happy to have a chat with Qin Song: "They are terrified that Dahan's navy can reach Constantinople directly from the sea. They should indeed be terrified too!"

In the past, most people ~www.wuxiamtl.com~, especially the army of the military, had a rejection and condemnation of the development of the navy. They generally believed that it would be better to strengthen the army with those financial resources.

At the stage of war with the Gupta dynasty, after the navy showed its vigor, the rejection was reduced a bit, and the criticized views disappeared.

Now Rome participates and takes the lead in the formation of the anti-Han axis, which has become the second axis. They are beginning to be pleased that they have a powerful navy, or they will wait for the land to be killed.

"Didn’t the Dibao inform you?" Qin Song said cheerfully: "Your Majesty has approved the formation of an expeditionary force. The fleet alone exceeds two thousand. Seven gunboats have been dispatched, including the Linzi."

The Han Chinese, who have re-emerged as a domineering nation, have never waited for revenge. They are really unwilling to wait for Europa to be hit on land one day. They are a firm attitude towards the formation of an ocean-going navy to retaliate against the Romans.

"It takes at least one year or two months to sail on the Cape of Good Hope at sea. It will take half a year to land from Egypt, not counting the preparation time." Li Kuang doesn't mind looking forward to his future: "At that time, we should march to Saskatchewan. It's in Shan area."
