In terms of area, the Asan Ocean is actually very vast, and it is divided into various small sea areas, such as the Bay of Bengal and the like.

The forward base of the Han Kingdom was set up in Rangoon, later generations, named Pingban Captain's Department, which was hundreds of nautical miles off the coast of the Gupta Dynasty, and it was by no means able to travel in a short time at the current speed of ships.

Cuttack was not the largest coastal city of the Gupta Dynasty, in fact, another coastal city called Visakhapatnam was, but Visakhapatnam was located in the southwest, and Visakhapatnam was not suitable as a forward base for the Gupta Dynasty's operations against the Han army.

Ah San has a strong sense of territory, saying that strong is the strong control of the nobles in each region over the place, and whether the Gupta Dynasty should choose Ketak or Visakhapatnam as the enemy base, in fact, it is a very fierce internal game. Since the various ships of the Gupta dynasty were concentrated in Cuttac, it was obviously the noble group on Cuttac's side that won the final victory in the game.

The earth is a big ball, and the area where the Pingman Captain Headquarters is located is the season of continuous rain, but it is a sunny day in Cuttac, including the surrounding seas, and the huge fleet formation is directly choosing a route away from the coastline for sailing.

"What we know about the Han Empire is limited to hearsay." Kapil. Malik has not shied away from this fact, he is standing on the deck of the warship facing the sea breeze, looking at the friendly ships around him, and he is very interested in the deputy and friend Dijan. Makul said with great emotion: "It can be said that we know almost nothing about the current Han Empire. ”

No one would ignore the fact that it was precisely because the Gupta dynasty knew nothing about the nascent Han kingdom that they would try to seek peaceful exchanges, but they also knew a fact, exchanges were based on the premise of equal status, that is, both sides recognized the strength of the other, otherwise who had ever seen the tiger and the elk negotiate the possibility of peaceful coexistence.

It is the Han Empire, that is the Western Han Dynasty with the defeat of the invincible Xiongnu to fight the hegemony status, after the division of the Xiongnu, the Northern Xiongnu can continue to ravage the Western Regions in the following decades, not only the countries of the Western Regions suffered from it, but also the Parthia that has not yet perished and the powerful Kushan Empire will also be beaten from time to time.

Today, there are still remnants of the descendants of the Northern Xiongnu in the west of the Western Regions and the east of the Sassanid Empire, and those descendants of the Northern Xiongnu live together with various ethnic groups and establish the Yueban Kingdom and the Hunni Kingdom respectively. The other part of the Northern Huns, who repeatedly migrated westward, were already in the later Ukrainian region.

There are not many remnant descendants of the Northern Xiongnu in the Yueban country, the main body is the Bada people, many of them are the people of the Kushan Dayue clan after the death of the country, and there are some uncountable ethnic groups. This country was a nomadic herding habit, and from time to time it clashed with the kingdoms of Usun and Hungina, which rose to prominence once in the next one or two hundred years, causing considerable harm to the Persian Sassanid and Asarsan states, and gradually forming a Turkic branch.

In fact, the Hungarian state is also dominated by the Persians, who have been determined to have been unable to get along with the Persians for 500 years, and have always been the troubles of the eastern part of the Persians. What is more amazing is that the Hungine Kingdom, which had been fighting with the Sassanid Empire, then negotiated peace with the Persian Sassanids, and then formed a coalition to invade the eastern borders of Rome, which killed a prince and made the Hungni Kingdom and the Sassanid Dynasty fall out. Later, the Hungni Kingdom was gradually assimilated by the rising Turks and became a branch of the Turks.

It is precisely because the remnants of the Northern Xiongnu are still able to wreak havoc on one side, resulting in the reputation of the former Han Empire, to say a polite word, but wherever the Xiongnu have been ravaged, there is no one who is not yearning for the Han Empire that can completely defeat the Xiongnu, and subconsciously think that the Han Empire must be an incomparably powerful empire.

"Whether the current Han Empire is the Han Empire that used to be the key is, of course." Kapil. "No one wants to be the enemy of a powerful empire," said Malik. ”

Dijang. Makul nodded approvingly and said, "I didn't hear that the Han Empire had a strong navy. ”

"yes, that's why we're fighting." Kapil. "This is an inexplicable friction, and we will emerge victorious, to let the Han know that 'our sea' will always be our sea, and to make them understand that we cannot be conquered by chance," Marik pointed to the endless warship. ”

On the surface of the sea, the warships sailed in formation under the influence of the wind, and people could be seen moving on the decks of each ship.

Overseas in Cuttack, the weather today is not bad, the fleet attracts seagulls to approach, and many of the ship's personnel are teasing, but no one is doing some bird-shooting behavior.

The Gupta Grand Fleet sailed northeast, and as they got farther and farther away, they were able to see a spectacle in the sky.

It was as if the sky had been split in half, one half overcast and the other clear. In the cloudy half, the clouds in some areas are rolled away, and the sunlight shines down through the gaps, as if the heavens have given the world a staircase that can be walked up, and it looks very beautiful.

In fact, it rains more often at sea than on land, and it just depends on whether it will form storms. Non-storm rain at sea does not increase the wave height, which will affect the navigation of the vessel, but will not increase the danger.

The Gupta dynasty did not rush to continue to approach the cloudy sea, and they lowered their main sails one after another under the ringing of the bell, and continued to advance at a reduced speed, but the speed was much lower.

Kapil. Marik gets the flagship's summons to Dijan. Makul gave him some advice, and he came to Katruk on the boat that the ship had laid down. The flagship where Karp is located.

Katruk. Karp's flagship was an authentic A-3 warship, about 60 meters long, about 20 meters wide, 5 meters deep, with as many as six masts, in addition to the four large masts in the middle of the hull, the other three masts were arranged on the left and right sides, and each mast had a large segmented sail.

Like the Greeks, Ah San likes to arrange various statues on the ship, with some differences being that the Greeks basically arrange them in the ramming area, while Ah San is arranged on the top of the bridge behind the bow of the ship.

Kapil on a boat crossing. Malik could see the statue glittering in the sunlight from afar, and after saluting and praying, he reached the melee ship, putting on a noose that had dropped the knot, and the only way to get on the ship was to cling to it and climb up.

At present, except for the Han Navy, which uses mesh climbing nets, other countries really do not use this tool. And the application of the Han Congress is fundamentally because of the existence of Liu Yan.

The Gupta dynasty dispatched a fleet of 500 ships, and there were small fleets under the large fleet, and the number of ships in each formation was different, like Kapil. Malik led a formation of fifty ships, but his formation was not the largest. The largest formation is as many as 100 ships, and the few, maybe less than 10 ships, according to the tradition of Asan, each Kshatriya can gather as many subordinates as he has as much influence or financial resources.

"Apu has gone to observe." Katruk. Karp was the commander of the formation who received him in the cabin: "I hope there is no storm, or ......"

As the flagship of the Gupta dynasty, it not only had to be large enough to be large, but also to be perfect in some arrangements. From the outside, the hull of the ship is painted with various colors and patterns, and the carvings are not missing at all. Inside, of course, the floor can't be directly wooden, but must be covered with Sassanid precious felt, and all the decorations on the walls must be hung, and they must all be glittering with gold. Generally speaking, there are two words, and that is luxury!

They came with the intention of a surprise attack, and if there was a storm on the route, they could not rush forward stupidly, or else they would have staged the tragedy of the Persians.

What tragedy did the Persians have? Isn't it that Darius invaded Greece, and after the pilot troops landed, they were competing with the Spartans who were holding Hot Springs, but the follow-up fleet broke into the storm area, and the good invading troops had not yet landed, but most of them were fed fish.

As the flagship of the Brahmin, there should be the ultimate luxury that must be there, and the enjoyment of the above is also indispensable at all, Katruk. Capuan sat on a Roman-style semi-chaise longue, wrapped in precious fur, with a golden patch visible in some corners, apparently at least gilded.

The golden semi-recliner is just part of the place that sits in Catruk. On the low table in front of Karp's body, all the utensils were either gold or silver, each with intricate patterns, inevitably inlaid with precious stones, and the utensils contained various types of food. The most exaggerated is a scimitar that is placed horizontally, the handle is obviously ivory, the scabbard is definitely precious wood, and it is also inlaid with large gems, which is worth a lot at a glance, in fact, the knife is also made of Uzi steel.

The people who were summoned also had their own semi-reclining chairs, but they couldn't compare to Catruk in terms of specifications. Karp's one, for example, on the value of fur. The rest of the tools are not very distinct.

The high caste has servants to serve at all times, and it is no exaggeration to say that the high caste has a special servant to wipe the buttocks, including the Katruk. The people including Karp, whose status is also Kshatriya, only need to lie down and wait to be served by the servants.

"If it's not a storm, it's just rain......" Zampt. Warren was the leader of a hundred-ship formation, and the Warren family was still a large clan in the southern part of the Gupta dynasty, and he waved an arm very exaggeratedly: "On the contrary, it is conducive to us quietly approaching the garrison of the Han Empire." ”

The great nobleman of the southern part of the Gupta dynasty, although he was a Kshatriya, but the family was extremely wealthy. Warren must have some style, he is completely in accordance with Ah San's decorative aesthetics, the armor on his body must be golden, the necklace hanging around his neck, the earrings on his ears, the charm on his nose, the wrists and ankles, in addition to gold, are gems of different colors.

Of course, the armor looks golden, with intricate patterns and gemstone embellishments, but it is not entirely made of gold. Gold is a soft metal that has no protective power, and is actually a type of armor plated with gold plated steel, but it is not a willow leaf armor, but a plate armor style.

It takes time to send ships to investigate, Katrick. Karp summons people over for communication, and it is also a custom for Ah San to seize the opportunity to call friends and have fun.

Ah San's pleasure is indispensable to singing and dancing, they are a group of people who seize the opportunity to sing a dance on the first paragraph, in the wide cabin staged a mixed dance music, both men and women are still dressed colorfully, jumping men try their best to show masculine beauty, women will continue to make some bewitching with their limbs and with a strong seduction 1 sex 1 posture.

In the midst of singing and dancing, Ah San's favorite "stacked arhats" began, and it was at this time that the people who went to investigate returned, telling that there was no storm ahead.

Katruk. Karp is watching the "stacking Arhats" with an admiring face, the cabin is not high enough for people to step on each other's shoulders, dancing is simply lying flat to fold, and the limbs have to tremble constantly, and when people look at it, it is a bunch of weird objects with trembling hands and feet, but I can't help but Ah San really likes it.

Since there was no storm ahead, the fleet naturally hoisted its mainsail again and moved at full speed. However, they are not huddled together to sail, and there will inevitably be small groups around them to patrol and explore.

From Cuttac to the Pingman Captain's Department, if you take the sea route, if the wind is down, God will give you face, and you can actually arrive in a day.

Since the peripheral ships did not send the alarm, and the fleet was still some distance away from the Han military port, the commanders of the various formations did not leave the flagship, although they would not drink rather drunk, but they were willing to watch a group of male and female dancers jump in various ways.

"What?" Katruk. Karp was full of joy when he received a report: "The outer ships have discovered the warship formation of the Han Empire? ”

The Gupta Dynasty went to sea in a mighty way, and it had nothing to do with secrecy at all, and they didn't seem to want secrecy, what they wanted was to use the fastest speed, relying on the huge fleet, even if they were discovered, they would push it up in a dignified manner, that is, the later they could be discovered, the better.

The Han State was still carrying out sabotage warfare in the Asan Ocean, usually three warships in a formation, cruising in the waters of the Asan Ocean to attack any non-Han ships, not only the ships of the Gupta Dynasty suffered, in fact, the surrounding countries that had the ability to go to sea were all down.

The Gupta Dynasty, which was confident in its own strength, did not think about forming a crusade alliance with the victim countries for the time being, which was also related to the Gupta Dynasty's desire to eliminate the war, if they could defeat the Han State at sea, they also thought that they could start maritime trade, but it was another matter if they could not win.

"It's not just the Han Empire?" Katruk. The corners of Karp's mouth curled: "It's okay, let them witness Gupta is powerful!" ”

Whereabouts discovered? The Han Empire was followed by several formations, with two Satraps (a country of the Serbs), Kalabalas (the westernmost state of the Arabs), Persian Sassanids, and a number of small states with ships tailing. Karp wasn't too nervous, as he said, Gupta really wasn't ordinarily strong at sea.
