The Han state did not have any conflict of interest with the Persian Sassanids, but rather shared many interests, the most obvious of which was in relation to the Gupta dynasty.
In fact, even if it is just to stumble or something, it is just to deliberately let thousands of Persians suffer losses on a certain battlefield, no matter how you look at it, this kind of conspiracy will not be on the table, and it should be a trap arranged in the overall strategic situation.
Cheng Shuo did not receive any hints or hints against the Persian allies, nor did he receive instructions to deliberately protect the Persian allies, and everything was judged on his own according to immediate needs.
When they are attacked on the march, they can't be sure how many enemy troops are attacking for the time being, let alone what the surrounding situation is, such as whether there are friendly troops nearby, whether all the enemy troops attacking them have appeared, the correct way is to calm down, not because a certain part of the friendly army looks bad and rashly start their own response.
It was clear that the Persians in the marching force had become a breakthrough in the enemy attack, and more and more enemy troops were pouring towards the Persians, and the pressure on the rest of the area was relaxed, and Cheng Shuo quickly figured out the general situation.
"Han Army" The noisy battlefield is full of strange sounds, and you need to have a loud voice if you want to be able to penetrate and spread the sound in the noise, Cheng Shuo's voice is not small, after a loud roar, the Han soldiers who heard the call responded to the word "mighty".
After the soldiers of the Han army who formed a formation to protect themselves responded, it was like a machine that had been silent to wake up, Cheng Shuo shouted the word "Han Army" again, and all the soldiers responded with a "mighty", and then the shield arrays of each formation defense split in an instant.
The shield wall is split, as if it is a budding flower blooming, but the flowers are harmless and beautiful, but the crack of the shield wall is a sharp arrow shot out, stunned or stunned enemy A large part of the enemy fell under the arrow, the next picture is the Han army soldiers striding and waving the blade, and the blood flowers continue to bloom in various screams.
The Han army made a move, and the morale of the Persians was immediately boosted, and the next moment the battle horn they hated was shouted.
"For Rome" Marius Ugri held his short sword and slashed down very stylishly: "Attack" The square shields cracked in the crash, and the Roman soldiers shouted "huhuhuhu" rhythmically, stepping on small steps with one hand against the square shield, and the short spear in the other hand stabbing step by step, watching the queue neatly.
The road in the forest is not regular, the widest section is about seven meters, the narrower one is only about five meters, it itself is a troop march, and after arranging the defense, it occupies most of the space, and the attacking enemy army has only a few spaces, and most of the enemy troops are crowded at the edge of the forest with trees.
In this environment, long-range attack weapons such as bows, crossbows, and javelins are actually of little use, and firing into the forest will inevitably be blocked by layers of tree trunks or something.
The attacking enemy army does not have a uniform uniform, not that I don't see people wearing the same uniform, but the overall uniform is not uniform, and in general, you can still see some enemy uniforms, but there are too many enemy troops, and there are too few people wearing the same uniform, so you don't need to think much to judge that it is also a joint attack.
The non-Han camp appeared on the battlefield again, and there is no doubt that it belonged to the camp of the Gupta Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Han invasion of the Gupta Dynasty turned into a world war.
Originally, the Han State was on its own, and the Persian Sassanid intervened, and the Persians felt that the scene was not big enough, so they attracted several countries to participate, so they organized a so-called "China Alliance", but in fact, except for the Han State and the two Satrap troops, the rest of the three parties, including Persia, were mostly soy sauce ingredients.
The Gupta Dynasty, as a regional hegemon, was not a vegetarian, they were not weak in themselves, and their economic strength was particularly strong.
Realizing that war was inevitable, they quickly mobilized, and their diplomatic relations were won over several countries.
The three "imperial" superpowers of the World Island, namely Han and Persia, formed an alliance, and Rome showed the greatest goodwill to Han.
To some extent, these three countries represent the whole world at this moment, each with its own little brother, and the armies of all three countries have appeared on the battlefield against the Gupta dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Gupta dynasty is fighting against the whole world.
Of course, the main field of the war was on the side of the Gupta dynasty.
The Han army's mobilization of two standing armies, 80,000 county soldiers and 150,000 servant troops to the land battlefield with the Gupta camp has exceeded the limit, if there is no system warehouse supply convenience, let alone about 300,000 people, even 30,000 long-range supplies will drag down the logistics line, and may even the country be dragged down.
On the other side, there are more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians of the Han State in the southeast of the Bi Kingdom, and it is impossible to have more at all.
How many countries and how many people did the Gupta Dynasty gather, the Han army only got a vague number, and the Gupta Dynasty claimed to be one million.
The Gupta camp coalition army that entered the land battlefield, Huan Wen repeatedly spied on the intelligence that was about 200,000, but the coalition army itself claimed to be 800,000.
It was based on knowing the total number of enemy troops on land and looking at the actual situation on the battlefield that Cheng Shuo guessed that the enemy army attacking would not exceed 10,000 at most, so of course he did not hesitate to do it.
The air here is humid for the most part of the year, and after too many people bleed, the smell of plants in the humid air was immediately replaced by the smell of blood.
The two camps fought each other for about half an hour, and the battlefield stretched from the perimeter of the road into the woods, where dead bodies and wailing soldiers could be seen everywhere.
"The enemy army attacking is more than 6,000 people."
Cheng Shuo did not pursue in person, and the order he gave to the troops was not to pursue too far, and after defeating the enemy army, they should come back to rest.
He ordered the captives to be tortured and got an answer, and called Marius Ugri and Egutai Bahram and asked, "What about the losses of your army?"
Marius Ugri could see that he was more relaxed emotionally and did not answer immediately.
Ergutai Bahram's face was ugly, and he excused himself by saying that he had not had time to count the casualties, but then he said: "Please allow the Han army to hand over the prisoners to us." ” The hasty and short battle had come to an end, the fleeing enemy army had disappeared into the woods, and the Han army, which had rested a little, had already continued its march in advance.
Cheng Shuo groaned for a moment and agreed to Ergutai Bahram's request.
Soon, the captured enemy troops were scattered, they were tied with ropes one after another, and row after row were escorted into the forest, and the Persians were escorted in row after row, for about five minutes at a time.
The enemy prisoners of war who were escorted into the woods by the Persians were kicked to their knees by the Persians, and then their necks were cut with a scimitar.
People who are wiped on their necks do not die immediately, but the trachea is quickly filled with blood after being cut, and people still need to struggle for a while, depending on each person's differences, the length of struggle is also different, and they will slowly die due to suffocation.
It is impossible to carry prisoners of war on the march, and Cheng Shuo will agree to Ergutai Bahram's request, and those prisoners of war will be killed anyway.
He frowned at the Persians' methods of killing prisoners of war, the Han army killed the prisoners of war very neatly and cut off their heads, and they were relieved with a short flash of the sword, compared to the Persians' methods were cruel to the mortal.
The shorter the time of death, the easier it is to be liberated, on the contrary, it is not the first time to lose consciousness to look terrible.
It was almost as the Chengshuo side continued to resume the march, and troops came over from the front.
The captain who led the team was Zhang Lian, and his arrival solved Cheng Shuo's confusion.
"Our attempt to attack the camp did not achieve the desired effect, the troops retreated three miles back for rest, and the enemy troops came out of the camp to counterattack, and the enemy troops who came to attack you should be part of it."
The troops brought by Zhang Lian did not have as many as one division, just two songs.
They did not come to meet them, but to go to a stronghold on the marching route to fortify the defense: "The attack posture has basically not changed, and it is generally to attract the enemy to take the initiative.
Even there are military affairs, so I won't say much. ” Cheng Shuo was relieved.

Since it is a war zone, there is no so-called everything under control, if you can really grasp all the movements of the enemy army is called a miracle, they encounter a surprise attack without anyone warning in advance, it is a normal state of war, of course, it is guilty if you can't withstand it, and even if you lose a lot, you will be incompetent, and if you resist and win, you will be rewarded for your merits.
In the hasty battle just now, the Han army lost more than 200 people, and 27 people were killed in the direct battle, the rest were seriously injured and people with reduced mobility, and the rest were not counted at all; The Persians were relatively miserable, with more than 400 people killed in battle, more than 300 incapacitated, and the dead servant Ergutai Bahram would feel that he deserved to die, but the death of more than 20 armor soldiers and nearly 100 warriors really made his heart tremble; The Romans suffered the smallest losses with only seven killed and twenty-four seriously wounded and disembarked.
On the other hand, the Han camp killed 2,000 enemy troops, and captured more than 500 enemy troops to vent the anger of the Persians.
"The Persians are directly gone, almost a third" Si Hongzhuang of course wanted to see Cheng Shuo at first sight, and asked about the battle process and the casualties in person: "It's true" Cheng Shuo knew very well why it was like that, it was the Persians who had not arranged the march in the forest at the beginning, and they didn't get paid attention to it after communication, so it seemed easier to bully and of course it would become the "t" of the entire army.
"Those results, twenty-three out of ten are the achievements of the Romans" Si Hongzhuang came into contact with the Roman army for nearly a month or two, and said more unexpectedly: "It seems that the Romans are indeed better than the Persians." ” It is fair to say whether the Romans were able to fight earlier than the Persians, and Cheng Shuo, who had personally experienced the entire battle, was very impressed by the reaction to the attack of the Romans, including the subsequent counterattack: "The Romans obviously had a wealth of experience in fighting in the woods, and their personal qualities and overall coordination should not be underestimated. ” That was Cheng Shuo's intuitive impression of seeing the Romans lining up to harvest the enemy army like mowing grass, the kind of combat method of smashing people with a square shield and stabbing a short spear step by step was simple and direct, but without good training, it would never be possible to have such a high coordination ability.
Si Hongzhuang is to carry out the necessary understanding, for the Persians to show the unbearable, and to the Romans to show toughness, basically to the higher level, the diplomatic relations between countries or something, he is not qualified to suggest.
Cheng Shuo led the troops over, but he didn't get a respite at all, and was immediately assigned to a certain area, and I don't know what the situation was, the Romans were assigned to his chain of command, but the Persians were left in the command headquarters by Si Hongzhuang.
The Pingman Captain's Department occupies the mountains to build a defensive chain, and beyond the mountains is a relatively flat jungle, and the Han army is to cut down an area and set up camp, but it really can't open up too much space.
On the Gupta camp, their camp is also in the jungle, and the result of the Han army's snooping is that the Gupta camp did not cut down trees at all, only a small part of them will set up tents, others will build shacks, and more people simply sleep in the open.
Neither side has the ability or the ability to cut down trees, and the war zone is naturally under the jungle landscape.
Seriously, if you are fighting in such an environment, the first thing that comes to mind with the urine nature of the Zhuxia civilization is a fire attack, and Si Hongzhuang's idea of fire attack has risen again and again, and he is also afraid that the Gupta camp will play with fire attack, and the construction of the camp is of course to cut down the necessary vacuum belt.
The problem is that Si Hongzhuang really didn't dare to play with fire, not out of any idea of caring for the forest, but because the area was a continuous jungle, and it was really impossible to control the fire once it was set on fire.
What's even more fucking up is that the rainy season has just ended, and no matter what it is, there's plenty of water, and fire attack is really not that fun.
To put it simply, if you really have the idea of playing with fire, it is not easy to set fire to moist trees and plants, unless you can carry several tons of dry firewood or oil or something to arrange it everywhere, you can't play fire attack at all.
"This fucking place is full of poisonous insects" Si Hongzhuang can get a report every day, which tune which tun has lost a lot, and he knows that the jungle is really not so easy to treat.
He subconsciously looked at a stove next to him, which was boiling python soup: "There are too many snakes." ” No kidding, the Han army also found a snake nest when building the camp, and had to move the place to choose another camp.
In this jungle, there are many poisonous snakes, and pythons about ten meters the size of a bucket are not uncommon.
"It makes too much sense for General Zhengnan to ask for more enemy troops to be captured" Si Hongzhuang knows very well that if such a broken place is to be developed, it really can't be filled with the lives of the Han people, and it is the royal way to fill in the lives of foreign races:
