"Or" El Bata had a desperate expression on his face: "Charge the whole army" The situation on the battlefield undoubtedly showed that the anti-Han axis coalition forces were at a disadvantage, and it was they who dispatched 800 charioteers, about 4,000 cavalry, and 13,000 infantry, but under the frontal advance of the Han army, they were beaten not only without an inch, but even collapsed and retreated.
It cannot be said that the Persians and Romans were not brave, they were the first army in the world to dare to advance against the riflemen of the Han army.
The Persians collapsed after losing about seventy percent.
The Romans lost more than eighty percent before they collapsed.
They have shown amazing will.
It is important to know that when the majority of armies lose about 10% of the battle, the collapse will naturally occur.
Armies that are recognized as strong usually need to be able to endure about 30% of battle losses.
Under normal circumstances, if an army loses 10% of the battle, it means that those brave and brave have been completely damaged, and the rest are either cowards or people who go with the flow.
The Han army, which was in the upper hand, was actually quite admirable for the enemy who could endure more than half of the casualties and still show the will to fight.
If the soldier is admired, the officer will be jealous.
An army that is not afraid of death is not terrible, and it is worth worrying that an army that is not afraid of death does not lack training and has a perfect degree of organization.
With the foundation of training and arming the army, coupled with a tenacious will, it is just a matter of not giving them a chance, and once they seize the opportunity, they can usually create miracles.
The number of enemy troops who ran away on the frontal battlefield was very small, and more than seventy percent were left behind.
With each step forward, Liu Shen avoided the corpses on the ground, which were mended by the riflemen who had been advanced earlier, and each corpse had at least one hole in the blood gushing out.
A few people were shot and then reinforced, but they were very tenacious and did not die.
Their brains are completely occupied by pain, their bodies will roll up like shrimps, and their bodies will continue to tremble slightly when they close their eyes, and they will soon go into shock due to too much blood loss, and then die in shock.
From the start of the battle to the defeat of the soldiers of the anti-Han Axis coalition into the battlefield, everything happened in an hour and a half.
Because of the fighting, the Han army stopped in place most of the time to shoot from a platoon of guns, and the distance they advanced was only about 600 meters.
When the anti-Han Axis coalition sent out engaged troops to show defeat, Malus and Elbata retreated with the troops that did not participate in the battle.
In the end, they still did not dare to send troops to fight again, and the armies of both empires were defeated so badly that the chance of using their own troops to refuel was more than eighty percent.
If the other countries and nationalities that mobilized the anti-Han axis coalition forces, not to mention whether those people were willing to obey orders, those in power were really willing to send troops, and the biggest possibility of those miscellaneous troops was that they would collapse at the touch of a button and then turn around and attack their own formation.
"Return to the camp."
Malus's face was very disillusioned: "Using the camp to defend is our only option at the moment. ” Most of the rest of the peoples did not know how to build fortifications, and they were proficient in the Romans and Persians, and the Romans would have more experience in building fortifications.
The Romans were really good at building fortifications, especially after conquering the Greeks, who gained a lot of knowledge about engineering in Greece.
For example, the Persians also had a set of methods of building fortifications, and they built camps by making fences and repelling horses, digging one or more trenches, digging countless traps and placing spikes, and adding more fence walls or earthen walls if they were more particular, but they relied on their hands for everything, and basically had no mechanical tools.
The Romans were different, they had the technology to lift and have a large number of machines that made engineering easier, and they built the same fortifications as the Persians, who needed ten days, and the Romans could build them in three or four days.
Stemming from the fact that the war was not so smooth at the beginning, Malus had the knowledge of building a large number of fortifications and fighting a protracted war with the Han army from the time he marched to the banks of the Penchi River.
They were building fortifications on the west bank of the Penchi River.
The first camp was less than 500 meters from the Penchi River.
Because this camp was within the range of the Han army's artillery fire, it was destroyed by the Han army on the 17th day by simply digging two trenches and setting up a fence and a three-layer fence wall.
The second fortification was built on the west bank of the Pench River, three thousand meters from the river, and directly in front of it there were six trenches about five meters wide, each about twenty meters apart.
Behind the ditch is the "city wall" that generally uses the timber structure to build up, and then ram the earth wall, its width is about four meters, the height is also four meters, the length of the "city wall" is more than 700 meters, and the two sides extend out is the high wooden frame that is built, and there is enough time to continue to ram the earth wall, and there are a large number of arrow towers.
The third stronghold was a semi-curved shape, and the Romans were determined to build a great wall on the front by taking advantage of the large number of miscellaneous soldiers, and the work did not stop while the battle was going on.
It had far more ditches, walls, and traps than the second barracks, and the height of the "walls" was much higher.
The current second barracks, its current role has been transformed into the advance base of the anti-Han Axis coalition forces, and the frontal battlefield is retreating to this camp of the anti-Han axis coalition forces retreating backwards.
The Han people were extremely surprised that the anti-Han Axis coalition was able to impress the project in wartime and form a scale in a short period of time.
It's not that the Han army didn't think of sending troops to interfere, but the number of anti-Han axis coalition forces was really too much, and the terrain restrictions were too great.
Li Kuang sent cavalry to attack and harass him several times, but he either faced the enemy troops who were more than ten times his own to intercept them, or rushed into them and was in danger of being surrounded and eaten, so he simply turned a blind eye to them.
"Where did the artillery units move forward?"
"Hui Duhu, already within 100 meters of the rear of the advancing troops."
The advancing Han army is still in the center of the rifle array, but the two wings are only cold weapons on foot, and the cavalry is scattered and is still playing a "cat and mouse" game with the anti-Han axis coalition forces.
The terrain of the battlefield is really too restrictive for the Han army crossing the river to the west bank, and the lack of depth is only one aspect, and then because the number of anti-Han axis coalition forces is really too much, it has entered the state of being caught from the three breads at the beginning, unless there is a Han army crossing the river from other river sections, otherwise there is no room for detours.
In some respects, the Han army likes this kind of battlefield very much, they have 10,000 riflemen, not only will there be no restrictions in the face of such a battlefield, but even in such a disadvantage, they can attract the enemy to take the initiative to attack, and they are fighting a dignified hedge, which can give full play to the greatest shooting advantage of the platoon guns.
Liu Shen stood in place when he heard the military order to "stop", he looked left and right, and the robes around him showed a somewhat tired expression.
The position where they stopped was only 500 meters away from the camp of the anti-Han axis coalition army, and at a glance it was impossible to see the figure of the enemy outside the camp, the enemy army was standing on the "city wall", and more enemy troops were behind the "city wall".

"Rest in place, hydrate, eat, and don't move around" After an hour and a half of non-stop fighting, people have been in a state of mental tension, and then they have been under exercise, people will really feel dry mouth, drink some water appropriately, and eat some things, which can relax the spirit and recover the physical strength.
Liu Shen took out the kettle hanging on his back waist and poured it for a while, and after a few sips, he felt that his chest was finally not so stuffy.
He lifted the kettle high and tilted it, and the water was poured on his face, flowing down his neck and body, and the whole person immediately had a comfortable feeling of "living" again.
A lot of people are doing that, next to the Penchi River, there is no need to worry about not being able to replenish the water source, and the body and mind can be relaxed by drenching them with water, so why not do it "It's unpalatable."
Ji Hai chewed the dry noodles in his mouth while disgusting: "If it weren't for the crispy taste, it would really be useless." ” The rations carried by the soldiers are dry noodles wrapped in cloth bags, which are ground and pulled into strips, and then fried, which does have a crispy taste and has little nutritional value, but it is easy to carry and not easy to spoil.
Liu Shen chewed dry noodles, poured water into his mouth from time to time, and his eyes were looking at the "city wall" not far away, and the enemy troops above were busy.
"They're actually pretty good."
Ji Hai exclaimed: "I built such a thing in less than a month, and I heard that there is another one further west." ” When it comes to starting projects, the Han people have seen a lot of various projects in the past ten years, and gradually understand what efficiency is, and at the same time, they think that no one in the world can compare with themselves for engineering construction.
The soldiers of the Han Empire, for some special reasons, have always been a group of proud people, firmly believing that no matter what they are, the Han people are at the top of the world.
Now, as a "second generation" and a soldier, Ji Hai is amazed, which shows that he is really surprised.
"The Romans were fond of all kinds of engineering, and they were no strangers to building roads and walls."
Liu Shen knew that the Romans had always had a history of building the Great Wall, and the Great Wall was built with every period that needed to be defended: "Wang Meng, the king's servant, went to Rome and introduced the traffic conditions and various arenas in Rome, especially admiring the Romans' dedication to building aqueducts. ” Including Ji Hai, Xu Guang and other "second generations" all understood.
The Romans are not barbarians, they also have a relatively high level of civilization for the current world, and the Romans who like to start the project have their own mechanics, and they will use machinery when carrying out engineering construction, which can achieve a faster construction speed than those who do not know what mechanics are.
While they were chatting, there was a burst of cannon fire behind them.
After the shells leave the barrel and fly into the sky, they will make a whistling sound because of the breaking of the air, and more than forty percent of them fly a distance and blast into the "city wall" where the soldiers of the anti-Han axis coalition are busy, and the rest either land prematurely or cross the "city wall" and hit the camp behind.
The "city wall" is mainly supported by wooden frames, and one after another cannonballs are smashed down, and the tamped earthen walls are recessed but do not collapse, and the walls that have not had time to be tamped are blasted out of the effect of falling apart.
The artillery units of the Han army fired solid bullets, which were mainly used to bombard the "city walls", not to cause many enemy casualties.
"It's amazing."
Qin Song looked at the city wall that was being bombarded continuously, and praised the other party for setting off the strength of his artillery unit: "Our fastest record is to build a stone city wall of more than ten miles in one month."
What Qin Song said was a long time ago, when they were still a weak force in Changguang County, forced by the Shiqi Zhao State to retreat to the Liaodong Peninsula, and had to build the Great Wall in order to deal with the threat of Murong Yan State.
Of course, it was the system farmers who built a ten-mile city wall in a month, and they were once considered to have created miracles by countless forces.
"The Romans did have their own merits."
Li Kuang is not averse to praising the enemy: "The Central Library in Chang'an has an introduction to Rome, and they are quite remarkable. ” Only by praising one's enemies properly can one show one's strength after defeating them.
If you belittle your own enemy without a bottom line, it is not natural to win the war, and if you still lose a lot of money in the course of the battle, you will show your own incompetence.
According to the understanding of the Han people, there are so many forces on the other side that can carry out those projects in wartime, and there is really no one else except the Romans.
"Some time ago, there was news from abroad that the Romans were working on a large scale in their Spanish and Egyptian provinces, both of which are coastal defense chains."
Li Kuang had nothing to deal with now, and when he found that the enemy army had no signs of leaving the camp at all, he was still willing to chat with Qin Song more: "They are afraid that the navy of the Han Dynasty will be able to reach Constantinople directly from the sea.
Indeed, they should be afraid."
In the past, most people, especially the military army, rejected and criticized the development of the navy, and generally believed that it was better to strengthen the army with those financial resources.
At the stage of the war with the Gupta dynasty, when the navy showed its prowess, the rejection was somewhat reduced, and the criticism disappeared.
Now that Rome participated in and led the formation of the anti-Han axis, they became the second axis, and they began to rejoice that they had a strong navy, otherwise it would not be known how long it would take to kill them from land.
"Didn't you notice it in the newspaper" Qin Songle said hehehe: "Your Majesty has approved the formation of an expeditionary force, the size of the fleet alone is more than two thousand, and seven gunboats have been dispatched, including the Linzi. ” The Han people, who have re-turned into a hegemon-level nation, have never been able to wait for revenge, and they really don't want to wait for one day to hit Europa on land, and they have a firm attitude towards forming an ocean-going navy to retaliate against the Romans.
"It takes at least one year and two months to sail through the Cape of Good Hope at sea.
Landing from Egypt, not counting the preparation time, will be half a year later.
Li Kuang didn't mind looking forward to his future: "When the time comes, we should march into the territory of Sasani." ”:
