Ergutai. Bahram did not return to his own warship, and Mi Yuan did not feel that there was any threat to the two more people on board, so he stayed on the Han warship.

The Persian Sassanids really wanted to join this naval battle, and it was indeed important for Ergutai to complete the unfinished business of their ancestors, that is, to fight side by side with the Han army. Bahram is attractive, but more out of a sense of foresight.

No one (empire) that can be recognized as a great power in the world is in name only, and it will not fall to the point of imminent destruction because of the defeat of a local war, and the country that will be worried about the death of the country because of a local war will only be a small country, and less than half of the real big countries will fall and may turn defeat into victory at any time.

Ergutai. Bahram doesn't know what the current Han Kingdom has to do with the former Han Dynasty, he only knows one thing, even if the current Han Kingdom is not the former Han Dynasty, as long as the current Han Kingdom is established on the same land, then the background is definitely about the same.

The Persian Sassanids were re-established on the ruins of the Parthian Empire, which was once in ruins by Rome, and even the capital (Ctesiphon) was looted, but after they rose again, it was only a hundred years, and the same land and the same race, with different leadership, began to gain an advantage in the confrontation with Rome.

A well-established country will not have much impact because of a war, but will retaliate more ferociously after a defeat. Bahram firmly believed that even if the Han State failed this time, it would definitely make a comeback, and he planned to fight the enemy together with him in order to form some friendship and open a window of friendly exchanges between the two countries in the future.

Ergutai. Bahram thought that the Han army would be defeated in this confrontation with the Gupta dynasty, but with the appearance of the Han fleet, there was a new turnaround.

"You deliberately landed the Xindu people, right?" Ergutai. Although Bahram is using questions, he is unusually sure in his heart. He said with admiration, "It must be so." Now that the Xindu people have landed, and the fleet has entered the shallow area, even if they want to break through at night, they will not allow it in terms of dispatch. ”

Why is ambush warfare so useful, isn't it because the enemy is caught off guard? When any army is attacked by a sudden attack, it is absolutely panicked for a moment. Even if the side that encounters the ambush has more troops than the side that is ambushed, because of panic and hesitation in the heart, the combat effectiveness will inevitably decline. Therefore, ambush warfare is a tactic to destroy the psychology of the enemy.

Under any uncertain factors, the first thing that the attacked party thinks of is that he has stepped into the trap set by the other party, since the other party has set the trap, it is by no means so simple, at this time, even if the upper level can be stabilized, the soldier will not, resulting in the upper level can only choose not to fight even if they want to fight, and the victory or defeat is already doomed the moment they step into the trap.

How can Mi Yuan know so much! But he was unwilling to show his cowardice in front of outsiders, and said with a smile: "The general who commanded this battle is a general who destroys the country." ”

It is absolutely not wrong to say that Huan Wen has the merit of destroying the country, he led the army to destroy the Li family and the Han dynasty within three months, and there are only a few commanders in the Han country who have the merit of destroying the country.

As a general, there is nothing worth showing off more than having the merit of destroying the country, which is a fact recognized in every country. When Bahram heard this, he was immediately in awe, and when he saw Mi Yuan open the conversation, he took the opportunity to ask about the Han Kingdom.

As long as it is a person, there is no one who is not happy to be flattered, although Mi Yuan does not know what kind of existence the Persian Sassanid is, nor does he know how strong the Persian Sassanid is, he has been removed from the Ergutai. Bahram knew that the Bahram family was also prominent in the Persian Sassanids, and there was no need to keep the war that had taken place in the Han Kingdom secret, so he talked about it.

Despite being relied on by translators, Ergutai. Bahram listened intently, and when he heard that the Han Kingdom had fought no less than ten wars among hundreds of thousands of people, destroyed no less than eight countries with millions of people, and had ruled over an area of tens of millions of square miles, he could not help but be extremely shocked by the great martial arts of the Han Kingdom.

Among the known countries, the countries with a population of more than one million are definitely a minority of the few, and there are no more than three countries with a population of more than 10 million (not counting slaves), they are the Han Kingdom, the Persian Sassanid Dynasty, and the Gupta Dynasty. Of course, the population under Roman rule was more than 10 million, but the real Romans were only in the millions, which was about the ratio of a Roman to dozens of slaves.

In the current era, there are not many nations that have really built a country, and more of them exist in the form of tribes (tribes), and the basic countries that can really be regarded as countries are in the "world islands" and Africa, and there are really not many countries on the rest of the continents.

It took a hundred years of war between Rome and Parthia to decide the winner. Bahram was curious to know how many years it took the Han Empire to destroy those eight countries with millions of people, and when he heard that it had taken less than ten years, his face was full of bewilderment, and his heart was shocked but not believing.

Mi Yuancai doesn't care about Ergutai. Bahram believed it or not, he only knew that it was very refreshing to show off his martial arts to other races, and he was notified later that the Grand Fleet ordered them to join the blockade on the northwest side, so he didn't have time to deal with Ergutai. Bahram.

The battle between the fleet led by Fu Wei and the Gupta warship formation continued, because the ships and warships of both sides entered the battleship, and the large ship formations were distanced, and the battle situation entered the stage of trying to sink the warships or warships.

Whether it is a ship or a warship, they are not very large, and they were designed with flexibility in mind, after all, they are specially designed for ramming tactics.

When a large formation is engaged, it indicates that the long-range attacks of either side will be very dense, and the large ships can withstand the attacks of bed crossbows and arrows to the greatest extent without fatal damage to the hull, such as the ships and warships are not so strong.

The Han army's stern had a sturdy top layer, which was sealed except for the stern entrance, leaving only observation holes in the front and sides. Each ship carried twenty-two people, sixteen of whom operated the oars, and the remaining six included a captain and five combat crews. But to be honest, the warmen are not very useful, they are very low, they just catch the enemy ship and run away.

The Gupta Dynasty's warships should be twelve or thirteen meters long and about four meters wide, with shelters on the top floor, but they are of different specifications, some are wooden structures, and some are simply cloth structures. In addition to the top-level structure, there are no shelters on all sides, and each carrier should have twenty or thirty people, which is different from the Han army's warships in that there are more archers.

"Small boats" such as warships and warboats also have a role in relatively calm water, and if the kind of sea area that can lift waves more than ten meters high at any time and anywhere, the big ships cannot guarantee that they will not be overturned, and they should end up in minutes.

The pace of naval warfare is not too fast, whether it is in the era of cold weapons or hot weapons. From the time the two sides came into contact with each other to the start of the war, and after continuous fighting, the loss of personnel was inevitable, but there was no broadside jumping gang battle, and the warship was really not damaged.

Behind the scenes, the "collision ships" of both sides came on the field, but the warships and warships were targeted separately, and the number of people who could really rush into the warship formation was very small, and the number of successful collisions was even less, and the fight was lively but the effect was not great.

The Han army successfully rammed two Guptor ships, but they were subsequently sunk.

The warboats on the Gupta side did not succeed in colliding, and they were densely covered within 100 meters of the Han army's large ship formation.

At this stage of naval warfare, the ships or warboats that were originally sent out to carry out ramming tactics are actually more entangled with each other, not mentioning the mutual damage caused by collisions, and they will continue to shoot arrows at each other when they seize the opportunity. In the mutual shooting between the warship and the warship, it is the warship that is more often being shot, but this is related to the concept of design.

There are clashes on land and on the sea, and the night in this area is full of fire, and the sky is also drizzle, light rain, moderate rain, and heavy rain tossing back and forth, from the beginning of night until late at night, and from the passage of time to the early morning.

The autumn day will come a little later, and the two armies in a state of war, no one on the Gupta Dynasty's side can rest at all, and the Han army, as the "host", is because of the strategic depth, only the forward troops have not stopped.

Pingman Lieutenant Department is the official name of the Han Dynasty in this area, and its scope includes the coastal land and coastal waters of modern Burma, the main base is in Yangon, and the subordinate bases are distributed everywhere, of which the main base extends inland for about 20 miles.

The Gupta dynasty carried out the landing, and the position they occupied, that is, the beachhead, extended inward for about three miles, and the width should be five or six miles wide. More than 15,000 Gupta troops came ashore, almost seventy percent of the troops loaded by the fleet were delivered, and the rest of the troops were being delivered one after another.

"It is indeed a maritime power." Huan Wen did not deny this, he still stayed at the top of the mountain to look at the overall situation, and said with a thoughtful expression: "It takes about three hours to send more than 10,000 troops to land, which we can't do." ”

In fact, the Han navy did the thing of projecting troops across the sea, that is, after the Han State regained Jiaozhi, it invaded the coastal area of Linyi. It is precisely because of the past that there will be a comparison, the Han army has invaded Linyi a lot of times, and the fastest cross-sea landing is to send 2,000 troops ashore within an hour.

"What can be learned from the actions of their warships rushing on the beach?" Huan Wen was referring to Gupta's ships rushing directly to the shoals, and later said: "It is necessary to develop special ships to send troops to the beachhead." ”

The beaching of a large ship is a delicate job, and it is also a great test for the boat, and then it is necessary to understand the tide, or it is a one-time consumable. But as long as war is involved, in many cases, consumption is about whether it has meaning and value, not about how much it will lose.

"General." Si Hongzhuang is not in the navy, and his attention is not on the navy, he glanced at the east, where there is no sign of the rising sun: "There is another hour before daylight, will the last general go down the mountain for final preparations?" ”

Huan Wen knew what Si Hongzhuang meant, in their battle plan, the arrival of a new day would mean the escalation of the war, and the army that had been holding back would participate in the war on a large scale, and the land would inevitably drive the enemy troops who had landed into the sea to feed the fish, and the battlefield was in the Pingban Captain's Department, so Si Hongzhuang, as the Pingban Captain, should participate in the war, and it should be the existence of the front-line commander.

"The enemy fleet must want to leave the port, but I don't know if I am ruthless enough?" Huan Wen is talking about Catruk. Will Karp abandon the Gupta army that has already landed. He thought for a moment and said, "The strength of the attack depends on the signal that Ben will give. ”

Si Hongzhuang didn't have anything to say, so he saluted and responded to the "promise" and went down the mountain in the rain.

Sleepless Katruk. Karp's eyes were already bloodshot, of course he knew that he had stepped into a trap, if to say how much panic there was at the beginning, it was all due to confidence in his own navy, but the subsequent development was not as natural as he thought.

The naval formations that went out to fight first on Gupta side and the Han army were entangled, and the two sides had been fighting for more than ten hours, and how many ships were sunk and how many were lost their combat effectiveness, in fact, as the supreme commanders of the two warring armies, they could not get the battle report so quickly.

Katruk. Karp was worried that the naval engagement had not achieved absolute superiority, and the first fleet to engage at sea had been repeatedly reinforced, but they were still blocked by the Han navy on the coastal line, and they were in a state of blockage, and there was even another Han navy cruising in the northern seas.

Without too much speculation, Catruk. Karp knew very well that the Han navy on the north side was to intercept their retreat, and would join the battlefield if necessary, but that was when they seized the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Gupta navy, and this was what he feared.

I don't know when the rain has stopped, and the clouds seem to be slowly dispersing, and the half-moon of the ninth month can occasionally appear, and as the clouds disperse, fish white also appears in the east.

"Don't stop breaking through." Katruk. Karp tried his best to maintain the grace that a brahmin should have, and he still had a confident smile on his face, but he said: "But he can send an envoy to communicate with the Han Empire, which of you is willing to go?" ”

There were a lot of Kshatriyas gathered on the flagship, and they all knew that they had stepped into the trap carefully prepared by the Han army, and they didn't think much about whether they could win the final victory for the time being, but they still thought that at least even if they were defeated in the naval battle, they would not be too miserable, and what they were worried about was what would happen to the troops sent to the beachhead.

"Dear Karp." Zampt. Warren stood up, saluted, and said, "I'm willing to serve you." ”

"Good." Katruk. Karp bowed his head and said, "Your visit has nothing to do with the ongoing war, it is to establish a communication channel between the two powerful countries. ”

Zampt. Warren also understands this, although they are in the South Asian continent, but they have close exchanges with Central Asia and even Africa, the Mediterranean, Europe and Rome, and these places are all pursuing the principle of fighting and fighting, but the principle that exchanges cannot be stopped is that there should be a sufficient amount of Kshatriyas to the Han side, but they did not understand that the Central Plains civilization does not talk about that.
