Chapter 679: A Clash of Different Civilizations


The servant army from the Japanese countries is cannon fodder, and when it can be used, it is natural to use it, and the order that Si Hongzhuang gave to the servant army is to rush to the end.

Naturally, the charge was also tactical, not chaotic, and thousands of servants were shouting and running, facing the Gupta defenders who had been prepared for a long time.

Gupta was indeed prepared for the counterattack of the Han army, both psychologically and operationally, although they could not build such powerful fortifications under the attack of the Han army, they were able to put on the necessary repulsion horses and build obstacles.

The crossbowmen on the Han army's side were firing, and the longbowmen on the Gupta side were naturally not idle, and the ranged troops of the two camps could not shoot each other, but they were melee hand-to-hand combat troops that could shoot each other.

Arrows were fired at each other on the battlefield, and the sky was almost obscured by a dense barrage of arrows, and every moment people fell to the ground with arrows, screams, wails, and groans coming from the mouths of the wounded.

Inurou stepped onto the battlefield again, as he wished, only this time he was no longer wearing bamboo armor.

He also became a naturalized citizen after being verified by military merits, although he still belonged to the servant army rank, but he received a leather armor and a war sword from the Han army.

At this moment, the 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, and because he has become a small leader of the Han army, he has become a small leader of the servant army, and he runs and charges with nearly 100 servant troops under his command.

The little boss is naturally a little different, that is, there will be a small flag behind them, and the soldiers to whom they belong are to identify the flag and know where the little boss is, so they don't need to pay attention to anything else, just follow the little leader.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Japanese are a country of immigrants, and the high-level people above the archipelago are basically outsiders, who have absorbed and retained a considerable amount of foreign cultures, including the pre-Qin culture.

In the pre-Qin period, officers on the battlefield would also put small flags on their backs and use different patterns to distinguish the formation, so that the soldiers of the same formation would not lose their commanders.

This habit was still retained until the Western Han Dynasty, and the information on Liu Che's military parade in Shanglinyuan could be consulted, but it was not done again after Wang Mang's new dynasty.

The Wa Islands would retain this custom until the Meiji Restoration in modern times, so one of the characteristics of the Wa army can always be seen in movies and television works and some games, that is, the military leaders will always have a different number of small flags behind their backs.

The battlefield where arrows fly wildly, whether the soldiers in it can live or not depends on luck many times, and no matter how vigilant the person is, he will be shot over because of a momentary mistake, even the person who is always vigilant will also be killed by a stray arrow at a certain moment, Inuro's luck is very good, he saw an arrow shooting at him with his own eyes, but before he reacted, there was a servant army who ran too fast to block the arrow, and the servant army naturally fell forward with an arrow, and he was shocked and unharmed.

"Long live the Son of Heaven" “aaaa” Two different battle horns were shouted out, and the melee combat arms of the two sides collided, which was the impact of two torrents in an instant, and the collision of soldiers in different camps began with the swing of weapons, and the blades of swords, knives, and spears broke through the armor, and the skin cracked and the blades entered the flesh, and the blood like flowers bloomed with the entry of weapons into the flesh.

I don't know if it's because of the relationship of becoming a Shangguo, Inulang feels that he has become very brave, and the sword in his hand has stabbed two enemy soldiers to death, but he hasn't even been hit.

He has a good habit of cutting off the head when he kills the other party, but if it is him, every servant army will cut off the head and hang it around the waist after killing the enemy.

"Why are these damn guys short haired?"

will complain, naturally because it is not easy to tie short hair around the waist, and now the "Celestial Empire Cultural Circle" is basically based on long hair, and there is usually a habit of tying hair, but the civilization outside the "Celestial Empire Cultural Circle" does not pay special attention to hair.

With bloody heads hanging from their waists and a hideous look on the faces of the soldiers, any confrontation with such an army must be a little frightening.

The Gupta untouchables who were placed on the front line, they were facing an army with their heads hanging from their waists, their dark faces were full of fear, and they wanted to retreat for fear of being hacked to death by the Warlords and could not enter the reincarnation, so they could only tremble their hands and feet and use their weak bodies to meet the sharp weapons.

"Your slave soldiers are eager to fight, and they want to be strong."

Seeing that his own front had not been beaten for long, Zampt Warren scolded the untouchables in his heart, and at the same time praised them.

He then said, "But it's useless, the untouchables here are dead, and we can pull out more untouchables." ” Si Hongzhuang had to admit that the servant army was indeed very eager to fight under the temptation of joining the Han State with the function of killing the enemy, and every time he sent out, he would enter mad dog mode in an instant.

Some nations are very peculiar, and they are like that when they fight for themselves, but if they want to become the servant army of a strong nation, they will get an increase in strength, and how strong the desire to fight and the will to fight are determined by what kind of master they stand behind, not how much combat power they have.

To explain it in a data-based way, the servant army of the Wa Islands has entered a strange state, when they fight for themselves, they will have a hundred combat power, and when they fight with a strong master, they can get about 20% increase in combat power, but if they are allowed to do it to their masters, their combat power will drop to about twenty or thirty.

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

Si Hongzhuang had to think about it, he felt that the servant army of the Japanese Islands was very useful, and he thought too much about whether he could also apply this model to those ethnic groups on the peninsula, some ethnic groups belonged to the natural wastewood, such as the nation of Sanhan.

Samhan is not the same nation, it is three large tribes, Baekje, Silla, and Gayang did not perish, they were scattered in these three countries, but there is really nothing commendable, whether it is fighting for themselves, or becoming someone else's dog, what they are best at is to call with the prestige of their masters, so that they can go to the battlefield except for the absolute superiority of the situation of all evil, a little setback immediately collapsed.

Liu Yan is willing to include the Japanese in the servant army, because the Japanese are really useful, and then there is the need for the annexation of boiled frogs in warm water.

In addition to not forgetting that those waste firewood did more harm to his nation than the Japanese State during World War II, the Celestial Empire did not mention it officially for political needs, and he really didn't look down on the Samhan people at all.

After the Han conquered the peninsula and the fall of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, the people living in those lands, except for women, were all made slaves and were being transported in batches, either to the Northeast Plain for reclamation, or to the mainland for various constructions.

Si Hongzhuang didn't know that the national center had made a disposal plan, and it was to completely erase the existence of the peninsula nation from the spirit to the body, and said flatly about Zampt Warren's clamour: "Do you think the Han will be short of cannon fodder?"

Zampt Warren was silent after listening to the translation.

How can any powerful country in the world lack a country or a national power that can pull the conquered nation out as a consumable anytime and anywhere under the premise of need, Zampt Warren already knows that the Han Empire has destroyed at least eight countries with millions of people, and it is natural to think that the Han Empire is really capable of pulling out endless cannon fodder.

It is really not nonsense for a powerful country to drive a conquered nation to the battlefield to serve itself, Rome has always done this, the former Parthia and the current Persian Sassanid are also doing it, and even the once powerful countries and nations have also done it, and it is simply not up to grade like the Gupta dynasty to pull their own untouchables as cannon fodder.

By the way, the Central Plains Dynasty rarely pulls conquered nations out as cannon fodder, even if it pulls cannon fodder, it is only a small amount.

After the Sima family reunified the Central Plains, they did it, but they were also knocked to the ground by the cannon fodder they armed, and it is estimated that it was because of the experience of the Sima family that the subsequent dynasties did not dare to do that.

In fact, Rome was also knocked to the ground by arming its own cannon fodder, but it has not happened yet, but if history has not changed, it is not far from this scene happening.

On the battlefield, the two cannon fodder were fighting with different mental outlooks, and the victory or defeat was clearly laid out in less than a quarter of an hour, and it was the cannon fodder on the side of the Han State that defeated the cannon fodder on the Gupta side, so that the regular army on the Gupta side had to be on top.

"The retreat is in rotation, immediately execute the order" In the end, the dog herd still hung the lottery, but because of the protection of the leather armor, it was only a flesh injury, but the war sword in his hand didn't know when it was gone, and it was replaced with a scimitar from Ah San's side.

The Han army did not show a very cool side in the use of the servant army, and it would not hesitate when it was time to let the servant army jump out of a bloody road with flesh and blood, and it was also very simple when it was time to let the servant army retire, and it was probably because of this that the servant army was psychologically more willing to die A new group of servants took over, and they ran into the regular army of Gupta's side, and the battle was immediately deadlocked.

It was not a fluke that the Gupta Dynasty was able to become a regional hegemon, at least it was very willing to spend money to arm its regular army, it is impossible that every soldier has armor, but the weapons in his hands must be standard iron weapons.

The servant army collided with a regular Gupta army armed with armor, each of which wore plate armor with a shield that looked like a spear and a spear.

"Raise the Shield" "Thorn" Gupta shields, the upper and lower teeth have sharp serrations, obviously can be used as a defensive shield and can be used as an offensive weapon, look at them arranged in a dense formation, one step at a time to raise the shield to stab out the weapon, the tactics are very similar to the Greek combat style of the Spartans.

Seeing that his troops were firmly holding the battle line, and could even move forward to counterattack, the corpses of the servants of the Han Kingdom who were killed were lying on their back, and said proudly: "Replace our real soldiers, and the battle situation will be different immediately." ” Si Hongzhuang could naturally see that scene, the charge of the servant army was still fierce, but he really couldn't help the densely arranged Gupta regular army, turned his head to look at the triumphant Zampt Warren, and ordered: "The left and right wings of the servant army are scattered, and the mounted infantry is ordered to attack." ” The Han State did not have regular cavalry in the Pingban Captain's Department, and it was too stupid to let the scouts organize to charge into battle, and the effect of using other arms to charge the battle would inevitably be too heavy, so it was appropriate to let the equipped heavy infantry play.

The Gupta side also brought over infantry, and only brought a small number of horses and elephants for the use of special classes, and naturally there were no cavalry on Gupta's side on the battlefield.

When they were doing the scattering action, they heard the battle cry of "Han Army Mighty" that erupted from the rear, and subconsciously roared the slogan "Long live the Celestial Empire".

Some of the minions turned their heads to look behind them, and saw a jungle of steel advancing like a wall with the sound of heavy footsteps, which were so neat that they even drowned out the noise of the battlefield.

The long phalanx of 1,500 heavy infantry was moving forward, and 1,500 feet were stepping on the ground at the same time, making a movement like the beating of dozens of war drums.

Katruk Karp, who was watching the battlefield from the top of the warship, had already disregarded his noble Brahmin status, and had just convened the commanders of the warship formations to discuss the breakthrough tactics, and climbed onto the mast to observe the beachhead battlefield.

"Ah, a piece of golden light" Catluk Karp saw the reflection of sunlight on the armor of the Han military uniform heavy infantry with a steel wall under the early morning sun: "Armored infantry" Each civilization has its own name for things, just like the Han side is called Ah San, and the Persian Sassanid side is called Xindu.

The phalanx of Han military equipment and heavy infantry that repeatedly advanced forward, they did not make a trotting charge, but slowly moved forward, and the longbowmen on the Gupta side would shoot arrows at first, and after a few waves, they would give up without even shooting down a Han army's heavy infantry.

Bows and arrows are indeed nothing to do against heavily armored heavy infantry, unless the arrow hits a key unarmored part, or it is not bounced away, and even if it shoots through the armor, there will be no fatal injury.

"Raise the Shield" No matter how slow the mounted heavy infantry is, sooner or later they will approach the enemy, and when they get close to Gupta troops, the "stab" on Gupta side is shouted out.

Immediately, there was a metallic sound on the battlefield, which was the collision of the tip of the spear and the broadsword, or the contact between the tip of the spear and the plate armor.

I don't know who shouted loudly, almost chanting out of the "up", all the soldiers on the side of the Han army and heavy infantry chanted "up", and the next moment was the light of the Mo knife kept flashing, and the broadsword was also rounded and waved continuously:
