His own casualties were less than 2,000, but he killed or captured more than 34,000 Ah San, and the ratio of battle losses was an astonishing 1 to 17.
If the ratio of battle losses killed in battle is calculated, the ratio of battle killed is 1 to 90.
As a price, the Han army consumed more than 800,000 arrows, almost 30 arrows to achieve a result.
Because the Han army was in a state of advancing on the battlefield, the arrows fired could be recovered, and they didn't actually consume as much as 800,000.
There are only a few arrows that cannot be recycled, and the arrows lost by the Han army in three days are actually only about 60,000.
The Han army's unhurried and unhurried tactics will make onlookers feel bored, and for Ah San, it will be uncomfortable from top to bottom.
Ah San did not try to counterattack, they mustered up the greatest courage, screaming to recapture the camp occupied by the Han army, but in the face of the Han army's arrow array, they fell on the road of repeated charges, and the courage that they had just mustered up had already been vented before they could get close to the Han army.
The Asan often rushed halfway and fled back in disgrace, and when they ran backwards, they were shot three or four out of ten, and they didn't even touch a single hair of the Han soldiers, and less than half of the charging thousand-man team went back and shivered.
It's not that the Asan are incompetent, it's the combination of the Han army's bow and crossbow that is really terrifying.
Looking back for hundreds of years, as the strongest nomadic Huns on the Asian continent, they gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege a Western Han army with a total of only 5,000 people.
History has proven one point again and again countless times, whether it is a tough battle or a defensive battle, once there is enough crossbowmen and arrow reserves, it is invincible and rock-solid, especially under the premise of occupying the range advantage, it does not mean that the daring can change the direction of the war, nor is it that the brave and brave of the attacking side and the defender can determine the victory or defeat of the war, and what can determine the war is when the arrows are exhausted.
"The total number of arrows we have in reserve is more than eight million" Huan Wen didn't talk nonsense, the real number is like this: "Come here to fight the war of destroying the country" This expeditionary force had only 60,000 Han troops in the standing army, 80,000 county soldiers, 80,000 crossbows of various types, and 120,000 bows of different tensions.
Just counting the number of crossbows and bows, anyone can operate a crossbow, and it is difficult to draw a bow and shoot arrows accurately, but it is not difficult to just pull the string to shoot arrows.
The crossbow is mechanical, so it is not difficult to operate, and it is easy to learn.
If you want to be a qualified crossbowman, the difficulty is to learn to shoot, shoot, shoot, and diffuse under a variety of different passwords, according to the requirements of each password, that is, it is difficult to execute the password.
Operating the bow is far more difficult than operating the crossbow, don't look at just holding the bow in one hand and pulling the string with the other hand to tie the arrow, but how to hold the bow, how to pull the string and tie the arrow, how to loosen the string and how to shoot the arrow in an instant, the angle of holding the bow and whether it will be steady, all determine how far it can shoot and whether it can shoot accurately.
Archers also have to know how to follow the command to shoot different arrows, which is far more complex than crossbowmen.
In this way, it is only natural that archers can be trained much more difficult than crossbowmen.
For example, if you want to shoot, the crossbowman is holding a crossbow, and the string tension is determined by the machine, and it is enough to know how many angles to lift.
But archers, they have to control not only the force and amplitude of the string, but also the angle of inclination of the bow, and the slightest mistake will not meet the requirements of the distance.
"It's full of knowledge" Julian really hadn't deliberately observed what an archer was like before, listening to the officers of the Han army constantly shouting out the passwords that sounded very complicated, and then watching the Han archers shoot arrows according to the password, the arrows shot by different passwords flew at different angles: "We are not good at archery because soldiers can't do such complicated things" For Rome, which had no regular army of archers, no Roman could answer Julian's questions.
The Persians who watched were equally shocked.
The Persians have always had regular archery units throughout their history, and once relied on archery troops to run rampant throughout Central and West Asia, and even pressed them to the ground in the early days of the Romans.
There is a saying that the reason why the Romans studied the tortoiseshell formation was forced by the Persians, and then it was clear that the Persian archery had no effect on the Roman legions that formed the tortoiseshell array, but the Persians still did not change their tactics, and the balance of victory in the war between the Romans and the Persians was tilted to the side of the Romans.
The Persians are extremely good at playing archery, and they also have their own archery culture, that is, there is no special armor-piercing arrow in the long history, and then they ignore the same style that archers also need to match far and near, and even many times they don't think that archers also need elite melee troops to defend them.
The position they were staying in was within Ah San's camp, and the Han army was as steady as a few days ago, and first continued to cover the clearing field with rain of arrows, and sent a small force to test it, and Ah San let out of the camp before continuing to advance.
Time shifted back and the battlefield moved forward, but what changed was that the number of Han crossbowmen used was decreasing, and archers took the place of crossbowmen.
"From the edge of the camp at the western end, we are now within two romans of the camp."
Flavies looked around at the chaotic camp, which was six miles deep according to the length of the Han army: "I found that the will of the Xindu people to resist had been broken, and most of the camps retreated after only a rain of arrows. ” "Yes."
Julian frowned and said, "We think that the Faithful have lost the will to resist, but General Seris has asked us not to go any further. ” Ksiaias leaned over and said mysteriously, "I got the news that one of the nobles of Hierro accidentally fell into a pit, and he yelled and led people away, and there were dozens of believers hiding inside. ” There is no doubt that the nobleman of Hierro is dead, but the Ah San who hid in the hole dug out was discovered, which is enough to show a problem, Ah San actually played a strategy Julian and Flavis were stunned, and subconsciously looked around, looking for places that might exist in the underground space.
"I was just going to the rear, and I was very politely invited back."
Glad that he had learned what the Romans had not discovered, Xeias continued in a boastful tone: "The soldiers of the Han Empire are conducting a carpet search, sealing the entrances and exits and pouring smoke into each one they find. ” "I thought it was a nearby fire to make food," Flavis was wondering how so much smoke could be raised, and jokingly said, "The people of Hierro have made a meritorious service."
In fact, the work of "digging up gophers" was mainly handed over to the Japanese servant army, and they were happy to do this kind of thing.
The nobleman of Hierro was indeed meritorious, but he was not the first person to discover that there were Ah San Tibetan soldiers underneath, and before him, the Han army investigated the occupied camp and quietly eliminated Ah San who hid soldiers underground.
"Now that you know, why are the Seris continuing to push forward," Julian paused in the middle of his words, and made a sudden expression: "According to the Seris, they are planning what they do" Yo, Julian even knows idioms A few people were chatting, but Wang Meng appeared.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Wang Meng saluted and said hello, explaining his intention: "General Zhengnan has prepared a banquet and invites you to the banquet." ” A few people looked at each other silently, guessing if there must be a big move next, or if it was too big to care about their safety.
Almost as they arrived at the place where the banquet was set up, a fierce uproar suddenly erupted from the front line, first a local shout, and then spread to the entire front.
During the war, Huan Wen naturally had no spare time to entertain, and even Yuan Qiao did not appear, in fact, Wang Meng presided over the banquet in order to let international friends withdraw from the war zone.
"King Angel."
Julian drank a little wine tastelessly, did not touch the dishes that he usually liked to eat, and said gloomily: "We are here to watch the battle."
Now that the real war has broken out, we are drinking here. ” "It's also for your safety."
Wang Meng said very sincerely: "As soon as the war starts, it is a battle in that kind of complex terrain, and we cannot guarantee your absolute safety. ” The truth is like this, Julian didn't dare to pack tickets for everyone and said that he didn't care about the danger, and wanted to say that he didn't care about the danger and wanted to watch the battle, but then he endured it.
"There will be no variables in this war, and it must be the final victory of the Han Empire."
Ksiaias said a compliment that was not a flattery, but a few more gossips, before he told his true purpose: "We've seen what we should see, the monsoon is coming, isn't it?"

"We get accurate information."
Wang Meng heard that the Persians did not want to stay in the Asan continent and wanted to go to the Han mainland as soon as possible, but this was not in line with the interests of the current Han State: "Shamadharagupta has already led the army from Hua's city, and it will arrive at the battlefield within twenty days at the earliest. ” Almost all of them showed a surprised expression, not surprised by Shamodharagupta's personal expedition, but frightened that the Han people could prepare to grasp Shamodharagupta's whereabouts.
What shocked them even more was that the Han army was going to use the total strength of the regular army and the servant army, which combined to only 220,000, to fight a decisive battle with more than 600,000 troops under the command of Shamadaragupta with a difference of three times.
"Seris, you" Flavies didn't deliberately stammer, but was really shocked, and subconsciously asked: "There are reinforcements behind?"
Wang Meng just smiled and didn't speak
