Chapter 674 Collision from Different Civilizations

The servants from the Japanese kingdoms are cannon fodder, and they will be used when they can be used. Si Hongzhuang's order to the servants is to rush to the end.

Charging naturally also involves tactics, not a chaotic rush, thousands of servants shouting and running, facing the Gupta defenders who had been prepared for a long time.

The Gupta side was indeed prepared for the counterattack of the Han army, both psychologically and practically. Although they were unable to build strong fortifications under the harassment of the Han army, they were able to put up the necessary refusal and build obstacles. things.

The crossbowmen of the Han army were firing, and the longbowmen of Gupta's side were naturally not idle. The long-range troops of the two camps could not shoot at each other, but they were melee melee units that could shoot at each other.

Arrows shot at each other on the battlefield, and the sky was almost covered by dense arrows. Every moment, people fell to the ground with arrows, and screams, wailing, and groans came from the mouths of the injured.

Quan Lang stepped onto the battlefield again as he wished, but this time he was no longer wearing bamboo armor.He has been verified by military merits and has become a naturalized citizen. Although he still belongs to the rank of servant army, he has received a leather armor and a battle sword from the Han army.

At this moment, Dog Lang is wearing the Han Army's standard leather armor, and the guy in his hand is also a Han Army's standard sword. Also, because he has become a Han citizen, he has transformed into a small leader of the servant army, with his subordinates. Nearly a hundred servants ran and charged.

Small bosses are naturally a little different, that is, there will be a small flag behind them, and the soldiers they belong to can identify the flag to know where the little boss is, and don't need to pay attention to other things, just follow the little boss.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Wolie Kingdom is an immigrant country, and the high-level people on the islands are basically foreigners. They have absorbed and retained a considerable amount of foreign culture, including the pre-Qin culture.

In the pre-Qin period, officers on the battlefield would also have small flags on their backs, using different patterns to distinguish the establishments, so that soldiers of the same establishment would not lose track of the officers.This habit was preserved until the Western Han Dynasty (you can refer to the information of Liu Che's military parade in Shanglinyuan), but after Wang Mang's new dynasty, he didn't do it anymore.

The Japanese islands will keep this habit until the Meiji Restoration in modern times before it was abandoned, so later generations can always see a feature of the Japanese army in film and television works and some games, that is, the officers and leaders will always stick the number behind their backs. Varying little flags.

In the battlefield where arrows are flying randomly, whether the soldiers in it can live is often a matter of luck. No matter how vigilant a person is, he will be shot down because of a momentary mistake, and even a person who is always vigilant will be shot at a certain moment. Liu Ya lost his life in the end, and Dog Lang was very lucky. He saw an arrow shot towards him with his own eyes. Before he could react, a servant ran too fast to block the arrow. Naturally, the servant was hit. The arrow fell forward, but he was shocked and unhurt.

"Long live the Son of Heaven!"

"*&*&...%...%￥"

Two different battle horns were shouted out, and the melee combat units of the two sides collided. It was two torrents colliding with each other in an instant. The collision of soldiers from different camps started with waving weapons. Swords, knives, The sharp edge of the spear pierced the armor, the skin split open and the weapon penetrated into the flesh, and the flowery blood bloomed as the weapon entered the flesh.

I don't know if it's because of becoming a native of the country, but Quan Lang felt that he had become very brave. The sword in his hand had stabbed two enemy soldiers to death, but he didn't even get hit.He maintains the good habit of cutting off the head when he kills the opponent. Not only him, but every servant army will cut off the head and hang it on his waist after killing the enemy soldier.

"Why do these damn guys have short hair!"

I would complain, naturally because it is not easy to tie short hair around my waist, and now the "Celestial Culture Circle" basically has long hair, and usually has the habit of bundling it, but civilizations outside the "Celestial Culture Circle" Nothing special about hair.

With a bloody head hanging from the waist, and the soldiers' faces are full of ferocity, any confrontation with such an army will definitely be somewhat frightening.

The Gupta untouchables who were placed on the front line faced an army with heads hanging from their waists. Their dark faces were full of fear. If they wanted to retreat, they were afraid of being hacked to death by the supervising team and could not enter reincarnation. They could only tremble with their hands and feet. Use your weak body to meet sharp weapons.

"Your slave soldiers are so eager to fight." Zampute Warren saw that his own line was dented within a short period of fighting. He cursed the untouchables for their incompetence in his heart, but also praised him.But he then said: "But it's useless. All the untouchables here are dead. We can still pull out more untouchables."

Si Hongzhuang had to admit that under the temptation of joining the Han Dynasty with the function of killing enemies and reporting, the servant army was indeed very eager to fight. Every time it was sent out, it would enter the mad dog mode in an instant.

Some ethnic groups are very strange, they are like that when they fight for themselves, but if you want to become a slave army of a strong ethnic group, you will get an increase in strength, the desire to fight and the strength of the fighting will depend on the background What kind of master is what they stand for, not how much fighting power they have.

To explain it in a digital way, the servant army of the Urishima Islands has entered a strange state. When fighting for itself, it will have a combat power of 20.00, but it will increase its combat power by about [-]% when fighting with a powerful master. But if they are allowed to attack their masters, their combat effectiveness will drop to around twenty or thirty.

There are many such peculiar nationalities. For example, Ah San is also such a nation, but Ah San's "racial talent" has not been developed yet.

Si Hongzhuang had to think about it. He felt that the servant army of the Wa Lie Islands was very useful. Could it be possible to apply this model to those ethnic groups in the peninsula?But he thought too much about this point. Some ethnic groups are born useless, such as the Sanhan ethnic group.

Three Koreas are not the same nation, but three big tribes. Before Baekje, Silla, and Gaja were destroyed, they lived scattered in these three countries, but there is really nothing worthy of praise, whether it is for themselves. Fighting, they have become other people's dogs. What they are best at is to call out with the authority of their masters, so that they will go to the battlefield and do everything except when they are absolutely superior.

Liu Yan was willing to incorporate the Japanese into the servant army, because the Japanese were really useful, and then there was the need for annexation to boil the frog in warm water.Except that he didn't forget the harm that those waste wood did to his nation during World War II (it was worse than the Japanese country, and the Chinese officials didn't mention it for political needs), he really didn't look down on the Sanhan people at all.

Han conquered the peninsula, and after Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla perished, all the people living in those lands, except women (excluding older women), were beaten into slaves and were being transported in batches instead of being sent to the Northeast Plain reclamation means being transported back to the mainland for various constructions.

Si Hongzhuang didn't know that the national center had prepared a plan to completely wipe out the existence of the peninsula nation from the spirit to the body, so he said flatly to Zaput Warren's clamor: "Do you think the big man will be short of cannon fodder? "

Zapt Warren fell silent after listening to the interpreter.

How can any powerful country in the world lack conquered countries or nations?Powerful countries can draw out conquered nations as consumables anytime and anywhere if necessary. Zaput Warren already knows that the Han Empire has conquered at least eight countries with millions of people. It is a matter of course that the Han Empire has Ability to pull out endless cannon fodder.

It is not nonsense that a powerful country drives its conquered peoples to serve them on the battlefield. Rome has always been doing this, and both Parthia and Sassan are doing it, even once powerful countries ( Nationalities) have also done it, like the Gupta Dynasty, using the untouchables of the country as cannon fodder is simply not up to the grade.

By the way, the Central Plains dynasty rarely used conquered nations as cannon fodder, even if it was cannon fodder, it only pulled a small amount.After the Sima family reunified the Central Plains, they did that, but they were knocked to the ground by the cannon fodder they armed themselves. It is probably because of the lessons learned by the Sima family that subsequent dynasties did not dare to do that.

In fact, Rome was also overthrown by the cannon fodder it armed itself, but it hasn't happened yet, but if history hasn't changed, it won't be far from this scene happening.

On the battlefield, the two cannon fodders clashed with different mental outlooks, and the outcome was obvious in less than a quarter of an hour. It was the cannon fodder on the Han side that defeated the cannon fodder on the Gupta side, forcing the regular army on the Gupta side to stand up. superior.

"The retreat has been rotated, execute the order immediately!"

In the end, Quan Lang was injured, but because of the protection of the leather armor, it was only a flesh injury, but the battle sword in his hand was lost at some point, and he replaced it with a machete from Ah San's side.

The Han army did not show much ruthlessness in the use of its servant army. It did not hesitate when it was time to let the servant army blaze a trail of blood with its flesh and blood, and it was straightforward when it was time to let the servant army retire. It is probably because of this that it was allowed to Are the servant armies psychologically more willing to sacrifice their lives?

A new batch of servants took over the charge, and they ran into the regular army of Gupta's side, and the battle immediately came to a stalemate.

It was not a fluke that the Gupta Dynasty became a regional overlord, at least it was willing to spend money to arm its own regular army. It is impossible for every soldier to have armor, but the weapons in their hands must be standard iron weapons.

What the servant army ran into was a regular Gupta army armed with armor. The Gupta soldiers were all wearing plate armor, with a shield with crescent moons up and down, and a long weapon that looked like a gun or a spear.

"Raise your shield!"

"prick!"

Gupta's shield has sharp sawtooth on the upper and lower crescents, obviously it can be used as a defensive shield as well as an offensive weapon. Seeing them lined up in a dense formation, stepping on the shield and stabbing out the weapon, the tactics are very powerful A once-Spartan (Greek) fighting style.

Zapter Warren saw that his troops were firmly holding the front line, and they were even able to counterattack forward. The slain corpses of the servants of the Han Kingdom lay on the ground, and said proudly: "Put on our real soldiers, The situation is immediately different.”

Naturally, Si Hongzhuang could also see that scene. The servant army's charge was still fierce, but it was a bit helpless to take the densely packed Gupta regular army. He turned his head to look at the triumphant Zamput Warren, and ordered: "The servant army left and right Spread the wings and order the armed infantry to attack."

The Han State did not have regular cavalry in the Pingman school lieutenant's department. It is too stupid and incompetent to let the scouts organize to charge the battle. Using other arms to charge the battle will have the effect but will inevitably cause too many casualties. It is right to use the heavy infantry on the field. suitable.

Gupta's side also brought infantry, and only brought a few horses and elephants for the use of special classes. Naturally, there was no cavalry from Gupta's side on the battlefield.

It didn't matter what they were thinking in their hearts when they got the servants spreading out to the two wings. When they were doing the spreading action, they heard the "Mighty Han Army" war cry erupted from the rear, and they subconsciously roared along. The slogan "Long live the Celestial Empire".

Some servants turned their heads and looked back, and saw a steel jungle advancing like a wall with the sound of heavy footsteps. The sound of heavy footsteps was so neat that it even covered up the noise on the battlefield. .

A long phalanx composed of [-] heavy infantrymen was moving forward. [-] feet touched the ground at the same time, making a sound like the beating of dozens of war drums.

Katruk Karp, who was watching the battlefield from the battleship, had already disregarded his status as a noble Brahmin. He had just convened the formation commanders of the warships to discuss the breakout tactics, and climbed onto the mast of the ship to observe the beachhead battlefield.

"Ah, a piece of golden light..." Katruk Karp saw the reflection of sunlight on the armor of the heavy infantry of the Han army, which looked like a steel wall under the morning sun: "Armored infantry!?"

Every civilization has its own name for things, just like the Han country calls Asan, and the Persian Sasanian calls Xindu.

The Han army's armored heavy infantry phalanx advanced repeatedly. They did not make a trot charge, but slowly advanced. The long archers on Gupta's side could still shoot arrows at the beginning. After several waves, even a Han army The armed heavy infantry gave up without being shot down.

Bows and arrows really have nothing to do with heavy infantry wearing heavy armor. Unless the arrow hits a joint without armor, or it is not bounced off, even if it shoots away from the armor, there will be no fatal injury.

"Raise your shield!"

No matter how slow the armored heavy infantry moved, sooner or later they would get close to the enemy. When they approached the Gupta army, the "stab" from the Gupta side was shouted out.

Immediately there was the sound of metal clanging on the battlefield. It was the collision of the spear tip with the Mo Dao (broad sword), or the contact of the spear tip with the plate armor.

I don't know who made a loud voice, almost singing "Qi", and all the soldiers on the side of the heavy infantry of the Han army chanted "Qi" accordingly. It is also constantly waving in a circle...
