In the middle of autumn, the sky full of dark clouds is still drifting with moderate rain, standing in one place and looking out, the green mountains and green forests in the eyes are shrouded in a kind of haze.
It should have been a poetic landscape, but the roars and screams between the mountains and forests were continuous, and it was the Gupta coalition forces that launched an attack on the Han army's defensive line, one side desperately moving forward, the other struggling to hold back.
The battle took place at the forefront, and it was not the first day.
It is a rare thing for the army of the Zhuxia civilization to still launch an offensive in rainy weather, and it is not a last resort that the Zhuxia civilization will not carry out military operations in this weather, but Gupta and the multi-part coalition army do not seem to have the concept of not fighting in rainy weather It had been raining for several days, and the battle was under the rain, and the ground absorbed too much water and became soft, and the feet would sink into the ground if they stepped on it, and after many trampling, the soil would inevitably become muddy, and since the mud would hinder the movement, it was not a good time to fight.
"Ignorant aliens" Cai Lan was smiling, the crossbow in his hand was pulled the trigger, the bowstring fluttered, and the person who was shot in front of him was pierced through the head by the crossbow arrow and fell down without snorting: "My legs are full of mud, it is difficult to move, and the slope is too slippery to get up, it is simply a pure good target." ” This defensive point was located on a sloping ground, and was constructed into a continuous line of defense with sheds on top, with a slope in front of the line, on which the Han army defended, and below it were a mass of enemy troops who wanted to climb up.
The air in a place like Indochina has been humid for a long time, and the test for the bow or crossbow is actually quite large, and if the bowstring is not maintained from time to time, it will be relaxed, which will definitely affect the firing of the bow and crossbow.
The history of Zhuxia is a history of war, in the mountains, in the plains, in the jungle, in the swamps in the rain, in the sunny, in the rainy weather, in the rainy weather, in the rainy weather, in the rainy weather, anyway, almost all kinds of battles have been encountered, and the experience accumulated by the predecessors has been recorded in writing, giving future generations more ways to deal with it.
Use all kinds of means to maintain the bowstring at any time, so that you can use it if you want after the battle, and it is almost deep into the bone marrow of the Xia Miao descendants.
If you look through the history of war, it is difficult to find an example of a regular army that could not be used because of poor maintenance after the outbreak of war.
However, after the continuous rainy season, there are many examples of bowstrings being unusable, but this is purely a problem of moisture in the process of use, and it is not impossible to use it in advance.
On the offensive and defensive battlefields, only the Han army is still firing arrows, and what the attacking coalition can do is to throw all kinds of weapons, but compared with the arrows fired with instruments, throwing weapons with hands must be a loss in range, and as a result, an offensive and defensive battle becomes a one-sided massacre because it is difficult for the attacking side to go up the slope.
Cai Lan is not a big official, he is a team leader who can be called an "official", with fifty people under his command to be responsible for the defense of this slope, in three days only four of his own people were slightly injured, and the enemy soldiers killed or killed were at least three or four hundred.
The four people will be injured, they were injured by the bamboo spears thrown by the enemy, their bodies have armor and bamboo spears have no penetrating power, and the injuries are in the limbs without armor.
The slope is a kind of inclined plane of about 35 degrees, needless to say that the Han army specially made the angle, the length is about 20 meters, and a trench two meters deep and three meters wide is dug at the bottom, and then it is flat, and the obstacles are very deliberately removed.
The long rainy weather had already filled the trenches with stagnant water, and the muddy water had now turned red, and it was also full of corpses.
Some corpses have been soaked in water for too long, their skin is pale, and the flesh and blood of the wounds have become swollen and rotten due to long-term immersion in water.
At the beginning, there were about 500 coalition troops crowded under the slope, the dead and wounded fell to the ground and mixed with the mud and were trampled, everyone who was alive was covered with mud, Cai Lan visually checked, there were almost 400 or so enemy troops left who could move, and he knew that those guys would soon have to retreat again.
Sure enough, the coalition forces under the slope didn't know who howled first, and then turned around as usual, pushing each other, walking a few steps and sliding to a moment, and retreating in embarrassment.
Not only was the offensive on the slope side over, Cai Lan looked around, and the enemy troops on the entire front were retreating, so he said, "It's a little abnormal." ” The attack of the coalition army has been going on for seven days, and every day it is necessary to send people to the Han defense line to send people to the head, and it is not difficult to distinguish the people who are sent to the dead from the clothes, the slick ones must be savages, and the ones with a few pieces of cloth should be small states or small tribes, and they are almost unchanged for seven days to send them to death.
The Han army knows very well what the coalition is doing like this, which is nothing more than to drive the lowly people to consume their own arrows, and then let their own bow and crossbow be used wantonly, as long as the bow and crossbow are used, it will inevitably make the bowstring damp.
Driving the common people or miscellaneous soldiers to consume the defenders' arrows, similar practices are often seen in the history of warfare of the Zhuxia civilization, not only the Zhuxia civilization will do this, in fact, every civilization has the same commonality.
Killing someone who no one cares about will consume arrows and reduce the number of bows and crossbows available, and that's the idea of the coalition forces.
Today's situation is a little different, the collapse of the coalition forces that attacked in the past is also a part of the time, and there is really no retreat at the same time.
"Did anything special happen just now?"
"I didn't notice the return rate."
The Zhuxia civilization talks about beating the drum and marching and retreating, and the rest of the civilizations will also have similar means, usually using sound to convey the advance and retreat of the army, and will distinguish the different beats with different meanings.
Cai Lan didn't hear any strange sounds, and he didn't see any obvious signals from the height, wondering how the coalition forces could transmit information and retreat at the same time.
Just before Cai Lan and most of the Han troops at the forefront had figured it out, the coalition forces had a new move.
"No complete retreat of the coalition forces" "Back to the general, the coalition army retreated twenty miles back and set up camp."
Huan Wen did not go to the front line on land, and the Gupta Dynasty did not attack on the land, and it was located eighty miles north of the Pingman Captain's Headquarters, and there was already a Gupta fleet on the shore to build a port and a water village.
On the side of the Pingman Captain's Department, Huan Wen did the overall planning and command, the front-line command of the land battle was handed over to Si Hongzhuang, the captain of the Pingman Captain's Department, and the naval battle was handed over to Li Mai, the governor of the navy.
As the commander-in-chief, Huan Wen is doing the layout of strategy, picking up and filling in the gaps with his old partner Yuan Qiao, and of course the tactics are handed over to the generals under his command.
"With more than 10,000 dead and wounded, it was so easy to retreat."
Yuan Qiao was talking about the recent losses of the land coalition forces, or the numbers that the Han army could determine.
He kept looking at the map of the mountains and rivers hanging on the wall, and whispered: "The mountain road has been carefully investigated, and there is no detour, what is the reason for the enemy's move." ” The battle between the mountains and the jungle is very complicated, and the most feared thing is that the defense is not strict and the enemy army steals the road that they have not detected.
In the past, the Qin army went south to Lingnan, and it was not false at all when it fought head-on, but in the face of the enemy's continuous attacks and harassment, it was caused heavy losses and panic, and the first time the Qin army went south was in this context and had to stop the pace of the south, and then it was a situation to set up a trap to trap the leader of the enemy army to open the situation.
It took more than a year for the Pingman Lieutenant Department to build a defensive line, and no one dared to guarantee that all the passages were really closed to prevent the enemy from penetrating, so various open and secret posts were distributed on the front line, and the troops were arranged to patrol in rotation, for fear of encountering the dilemma that the Qin army had encountered.
Although the Pingban Captain's Department did its best to prevent it, there were still small groups of enemy troops entering the defensive circle, which was determined by the environment on the side of the Pingban Captain's Department.
After all, there are mountains and dense forests everywhere, do you still put out a human wall to stare at every inch of land, there are always some unnoticed places that will be infiltrated by the enemy, that is, the Han army has already dealt with it, and found that the infiltrated enemy army can be encircled and suppressed in time, and it is difficult to cause too much trouble to the Han army.
"Even so, if the enemy infiltrates one person, our army needs to be surrounded and suppressed by 100 people."
Wang Ji said very distressedly: "It is precisely because of the large number of troops of our army that the enemy army is happy to do this. ” Since it is a battle in a complex environment, it is necessary to be mentally prepared for the complex situation, not only the coalition forces on the Gupta side have infiltration operations, but the Han army is also doing the same thing, and the problem is that it is on both sides and not on the other side.
"The enemy stopped the tentative offensive and retreated twenty miles" Huan Wen looked very calm, and said slowly: "I should think that I have figured out the layout of our army" The culture of each civilization may be different, but the military is basically the same, and the attacking side must first understand the layout of the defenders to the greatest extent before arranging the direction of the attack.
Before the real offensive is launched, the necessary test is to find out the layout of the defensive line, and then to see how the opponent is doing, all in order to take what you think is the right response.
Huan Wen arranged the standing army at the front line, and used a knife to kill chickens, which was to set up a clear battle and tell the coalition forces attacking on land that they must be mentally prepared to hit their heads and bleed when they attack.
He did this to cooperate with the overall situation, and the Pingman Captain Department was not alone, and there was also a Han army in the southeast of the country of Pi.

The Han Kingdom was developing the Indochina Peninsula, and the places that could be occupied by the coast by the sea were all Han people, and the plains in the abdomen were reclaimed by the Han people to the greatest extent.
Before the establishment of the Pingman Captain's Department, the Chen and Xiao clans were at the forefront of the pioneering group, and the farthest pioneering footsteps had stepped into the Burmese area.
Their conflict with the Bi State has never been broken, originally relying on family arms, and then the Han army entered, forming a distant echo with the Pingman Captain's Department in the southwest.
The Gupta Dynasty can come in two ways against the Pingban Captain's Department, and Huan Wen can't deal with the coalition forces on land from both sides, and the Pingban Captain's Department will take a defensive and defensive position on land, mainly waiting for the results of the confrontation at sea, first solve the troubles on the sea, and then be able to make every effort to deal with the land.
"This year's autumn rainy season is coming to an end."
Yuan Qiao muttered: "After the weather clears, the road will no longer be muddy, let's see if the enemy will attack again."
Otherwise, the enemy will switch to attack. ” On the Han side, the contact between the Pingban Captain and the friendly army relied on the sea route, and the land was blocked by wild mountains and jungles.
Although the Gupta Dynasty was building a seaport to the north of the Pingban Captain's Headquarters, it was necessary to travel one hundred and fifty miles through mountains and jungles to connect with the land coalition forces at that location.
Considering the actual situation of the primeval mountains and jungles, it is no longer a question of whether or not people dare to cross it, but whether people can get out of it.
It can be judged that although the naval and land armies of the Gupta Dynasty are only one hundred and fifty miles apart, it is difficult for them to communicate with each other at all, and they still have to rely on the country for transmission.
The land coalition had to pass through the territory of the country of Pyu, and through Arakan or Manipur into the small state of Datta, and then into the mainland, which was a long journey.
"If it takes us half a month to contact friendly forces, it will take at least a month for enemy forces to contact them."
Yuan Qiao had his own conversion method, and said: "The enemy army is coming from two directions, one has action, and the other must cooperate." ” Otherwise, when his old partner Huan Wen heard what Yuan Qiao said, he immediately understood that the retreat of the enemy army on land was waiting for the Han army to take action against the enemy army at sea.
"It's still necessary to force the enemy forces on land to move."
Huan Wen looked at Li Mai as he said and asked, "Can the navy attack?"
Li Mai immediately stood up and saluted: "The enemy's water village and port are beginning to take shape, and it will be difficult to give up.
Our army's attack at this moment came at the right time. ” Yuan Qiao said: "If you want to make the enemy army on land more urgent, it is not enough to target the enemy army along the coast eighty miles away. ” Huan Wen could have ordered Li to attack, but they deliberately let it go in order to deal the greatest blow to Gupta Navy.
He got Li Mai's response, and saw that Yuan Qiao thought that the strength should be greater, so he thought for a while and said, "In this case, the navy will be self-determined." ” If the size of the fleet is only 500 ships, Li Maike does not have the confidence to fight hard with the Gupta Navy, but the size of the fleet under his jurisdiction is as many as 2,500 warships, and it is not the right time to hide it before, since Huan Wen thinks that there is no need to hide, he is confident enough to give the Gupta Navy a big surprise.
"In this battle, it is necessary to inflict the heaviest blow on Ah San, and the enemy army on land will be annihilated, and the enemy army at sea will also be the same."
Huan Wen pondered for a moment, stood up and shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, annihilate the invading enemy and attack the realm of the enemy country." ” I don't have to say it, one of them stood up and shouted: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister" Huan Wen took out his sword and said loudly: "The sword in the hands of my generation of warriors is the plow, which is to destroy the Han Dynasty, so that the enemy's land is the Han land, and the enemy's people are the slaves and maids of the Han family":
