The Gupta dynasty knew that the landing operation would encounter strong resistance, they were not a country that did not dare to die, especially if the death was basically the untouchable class, and it was an indifferent attitude to die more.
Aputra took a position on the beachhead with his elite soldiers, and the people who were sent to the beachhead were all armed untouchables, who did not even have time to catch their breath when they got to the beachhead, and were driven to join the warbands with whips.
The servant army that was thrown into hand-to-hand combat on the beachhead earlier, they fought very hard against the Gupta elite soldiers, and they were pressed and beaten for a while, and then as the opponents who participated in the battle were replaced by Ah San untouchables, they could be regarded as stabilizing the battle line.
The Wa people are a mixed ethnic group, and the Japanese people of this archipelago are very short in stature, generally around 1.3 to 1.5 meters.
It is said that the Japanese people are a mixed ethnic group, naturally because there are many people who cross the sea to live, especially Buyeo has the largest number of immigrants.
The current habitat of Buyeo people is in the eastern 131 province in the later generations, to be honest, the racial genes are quite good, the height is generally more than 1.7 meters, and the body is still very strong.
There are quite a few countries in the Wajijima, and the closer you are to the Asaichi Peninsula, the better your physical fitness, such as Kyushu.
In the true sense of the word, the soldiers who are indigenous to the Japanese Islands will be very worrisome, but they do not lack a ruthlessness.
The servant troops who were sent out to fight hand-to-hand combat on the beachhead did not know that the higher-ups did not have the will to defend to the death, they were doing their best to drive the landing enemy troops into the sea, and several times they defeated Ah San's untouchable troops and collided with Ah San's elite soldiers, and the back and forth battle for the beachhead suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Inulang already had two heads hanging from his waist, but the bamboo armor on his body was completely rotten, and he was shot in the shoulder, and retreated to the rear of the crossbow unit as a wounded soldier.
The crossbow troops had actually been shooting arrows at Gupta's landing force, against warships and manned boats, and they had achieved great success, and the beachhead was littered with floating corpses, which had also stained the sea red.
"I'm going to be a Shangguo" Inulang loudly announced to the surrounding Japanese people, licking his lips and shouting excitedly: "No matter how much I win, I can make my family a Shangguo" The widows who heard the dog Lang's announcement all showed envious expressions.
The class of the Wa Islands is fixed, and what identity should be will always be what it is, and there is no chance to change their fate before the Han State intervenes, and even the non-samurai class cannot participate in the war.
A backward nation will certainly aspire to be strong, and if it has the opportunity to become a member of the strong, it will definitely work hard for it, especially on the premise that the nation has no chance to stand out on its own.
Wounded soldiers, even those of the servant army, are taken care of.
Seriously injured people are naturally sent to the rear on stretchers, not heavy is bandaged in situ, bandaged wounded soldiers and servants after bandaging whether they are willing to participate in the war depends on personal wishes, obviously the dog Lang also wants to make persistent efforts to make some military achievements.
In fact, the casualties of the 3,000 servants who went to war had exceeded 30%, but from the small soldiers to the nobles who commanded the battle, none of them wavered in their will to fight.
The small soldiers needed the enemy's head to change their fate, and the nobles were able to obtain rich rewards for the capture of the small soldiers, and they had great confidence in the Han army when they took what they needed, believing that it was worth the casualties in the war that would be won.
"Lose to five and let them retreat."
It was the first time that Huan Wen had seen the tenacity of the servant army, and he thought that the servant army was useless, and it would collapse as soon as the casualties were achieved: "It seems that the servant army can be given better treatment."
The servant army has always served in the Liaodong battlefield and has long belonged to the shogunate of the general Zhengdong, although Huan Wen and Lu Tai know each other but have no deep friendship, Lu Tai will not say anything to Huan Wen.
The beachhead battlefield was full of dead people, and the Gupta side, despite knowing the difficulties of the landing and not caring so much about how many untouchables died, still felt urgent if no significant progress was made.
"Speed up the speed of troop projection" Katruk Karp will not make any promises to the untouchables, such as changing their social status after meritorious service, and he is full of anger and says: "Four or five thousand people can't beat one or two thousand people on the other side, and the untouchables are really untouchables, it's really useless."
The Gupta dynasty already knew that it was not the Han army that was thrown into the beachhead to block it, and it was difficult to know who it was, but they could guess whether it was the army of a subject state or a client state.
Nowadays, there are not many countries with slave legions, or it should be said that even a strong country has its own slave army, and the overlord country in the world belongs to the largest slave army.
Rome was the country that excelled in the use of slave legions, and Roman expansion quickly conquered quite a few peoples, and every time a major war was launched, the conquered peoples were recruited.
The Persian Sassanids were learning from their old rival, Rome, but the Persian Sassanids had conquered as many peoples as the Romans, and they were setting their sights on the Arabs and Egyptians who ruled their territory.
To put it mildly, the Persians will be overturned by the Arabs later, because of the over-arming of the Arabs.
All powerful countries have one thing in common, no one cares how many people die in the slave army, after all, whether it is a slave soldier or a servant soldier, it is used as cannon fodder anyway.
As a Brahmin, Katruk Kap was furious, and the Kshatriya group under his command became more and more dismissive of the untouchables, and they constantly drove the untouchables to charge, and when they retreated, they all cut off their heads, and declared that the untouchables could not enter the cycle after death, and only the untouchables who died bravely could be reincarnated.
The untouchables attach more importance to reincarnation than they can imagine, and their ability to endure the suffering of this life and this life is based on the foundation of happiness in the next life, so they will not completely lose their courage when they go to the battlefield and fear death.
Not being able to reincarnate is a more terrifying thing for them than death, with the intimidation of nobles, plus the fact that they can be reincarnated after dying in battle, they can't help but retreat.
"Almost" Huan Wen didn't care why Gupta landing force suddenly burst out with such a strong will to die, and saw that the servant army really couldn't stand it, so he ordered: "Give up the first line of defense, and the second line of defense can resist a little." ” The so-called first line of defense was nothing more than a fence wall, and the second line was a line of defense consisting of several fence walls and low earth walls, followed by a large camp made of bamboo buildings.
Knowing that the first line of defense of the Han army had been conquered, Katruk Karp regained his aristocratic grace, and said to the people around him in an orderly manner: "Attack the second line of defense at once, and try to occupy the territory where the garrison can be occupied before nightfall." ” Throughout the battlefield, with Gupta landing troops occupying the first line of defense of the Han army, without the threat of Han arrows, more ships and boats could be considered to be able to comfortably send troops ashore; The Gupta fleet above the sea was divided into three parts, the first was the landing fleet, the rest of the fleet seemed to be cruising and exploring the water village, and the last fleet was to lower the anchor and stop in place; Outside the water village, the Han warships and the Persian Sassanid warships were withdrawing outward, and Kapil Marik's formation did not pursue.
There was already cheering on the part of the Gupta dynasty, who believed that the raid had been a success, not only to break through the Han army's water wall, but also to land and gain a foothold, and that it was only a matter of time before the final victory of the battle was achieved.
Probably around the time of sunset, Katruk Karp received another report from the front that Aputra had led his army to successfully break through the enemy's second line of defense, and asked for instructions on whether to continue the attack.
"It's getting dark."
Katruk Karp was happy but not carried away: "We don't know how many enemy troops are stationed here, and we are very puzzled that the enemy warship has not appeared, so we will stand firm first."
It's time to contact the nobles of the Han Empire here to discuss the possibility of peace, and if the other party still refuses to admit defeat, they will continue to attack tomorrow, and they must fight until they admit defeat. ” Night battles or something, it's really not that anyone can play in today's era, even if it's really a night battle, it's basically a small group of elite troops to launch a sneak attack on the enemy, and it's not that they don't look at the quality of the soldiers.
The Gupta Dynasty did not want to fight to the death with the Han State, what they wanted was to promote peace with war, and then let the Han State officially strengthen the Gupta Dynasty, so that the Han State would not stretch out its hand so far, and at the same time withdraw from this sea area, the two sides entered the stage of maritime trade.
A group of "onlookers" saw that the Gupta landing force had gained a firm foothold, and they basically thought that Gupta would win the battle.
Ergutai Bahram, who advocated the rescue of the Han warship, specially brought an interpreter to Mi Yuan's warship, and after meeting, he promised that he would do his best to ensure the safety of the surviving Han army.
Mi Yuan was still confused, with questions about the attitude of the Persian Sassanids, more about the whereabouts of his own fleet, and even more surprised at the successful landing of the enemy.
"No, no, no."
Mi Yuan gave a courtesy thank you to Ergutai Bahram for ensuring his safety, and he refused or refused: "We just retreat for repairs and rest, and we don't plan to evacuate as deserters." ” "But your military port has been captured, and there are as many Xindu people as ants continuing to land."

Of course, the Xindu people in the mouth of Ergutai Bahram are Ah San, and he advises: "You only have twenty-four warships in total, but there are five or six hundred Xindu people, why do you still launch a meaningless attack?"
Yes, it is true that there are sabotage formations that have gone out to return one after another, but no one knows what kind of idea Huan Wen of Zhengnan has taken, but it cannot stop their will to attack again.
Mi Yuan smiled, and said categorically: "There are only Han soldiers who are desperate to move forward, and there are no deserters who are afraid of fighting."
Ergutai Bahram is really in the mood of a dog, he is well-intentioned to persuade him, and he can't stand this group of Han people who want to die.
He thought for a moment and asked, "If you fail this time, will you continue to come back?"
"Failure" Mi Yuan raised his head and said with a smile: "Although I don't know what is going on, the battle situation is actually unfolding like this, but we can't fail" However, the Southern Expeditionary Force had more than 300 warships, and only about 100 of them went out to carry out sabotage warfare, and there were not many warships in Shuizhai, and it was conservatively estimated that there were about 150 warships whose whereabouts are unknown.
Moreover, they have a garrison of nearly 80,000 troops in the Pingban Captain's Headquarters, even if the Gupta Dynasty successfully landed, even if the Han army was caught off guard, there was no reason why they could not drive the Gupta landing force into the sea in the later counterattack.
Ergutai Bahram did not know the actual situation of the Han army, but he was not stupid, and he could detect the confidence of victory from Mi Yuan's attitude, and with the mentality of taking a gamble, he said: "Then, please allow my fleet to join you in launching an attack on the Xindu people." ” Mi Yuan still didn't understand why these Persians were so friendly, so he asked: "You and Asan are enemies."
"What is the special meaning of the title of Ah San" Ergutai Bahram was not too entangled in this, and said with a hearty smile: "No, no, no, it's not a belligerent, I just want to accomplish what my ancestors didn't do, and fight side by side with you Han people." ” He Miyuan didn't know if he had misheard the translation, but it was actually related to the will of the ancestors.
In the west, half of the sun had descended below the water level, and the sea was dark red by the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Southeast, southeast appeared fleet" "Our fleet is our fleet" Ergutai Bahram only knew what the Han people were shouting after listening to the interpreter, and he turned his head to look in the southeast direction, because the horizontal height and the visual range of the naked eye were actually impossible to see.
"Our fleet is back" Mi Yuan's head was slightly higher than before, and the depression that had been suppressed was also liberated: "I'll just say, when the big man is pressed and beaten, it must be the general who sets up the situation" Waiting for the Han army's fleet to enter the visual range of the naked eye, Ergutai Bahram saw a huge number of fleets, not only on their side, but also on the Gupta side.
Katruk Karp was glad for his previous caution, he had previously divided the fleet into three parts, one of which was in a state of cruising alert, after the appearance of the Han fleet, that fleet had already begun to adjust the bow of the ship to sail out of the water village, with such a fleet to meet the enemy first, the rest of the ships that had anchored would get more time.
"The preliminary judgment is between one hundred and fifty to one hundred and seventy."
Zampt Warren looked quite composed, and asked suspiciously, "Are our landings going to continue?"
Katruk Karp was also pondering this question just now, their landing force had exceeded 15,000 men, and they had successfully established themselves on the beachhead, whether they wanted to give up or gather people back in a short time.
"We have far more warships than the other side" Catluk Karp knows more or less that he has been deceived, but he still has absolute confidence in his own navy: "We are here to destroy their navy, and since they appear, we will destroy them":
