"It's hot" "Take it off" "That's not good" "It's too hot.
Persia is close to the continent of Asan, and the weather in summer is stuffy and hot, even if the wind blows by the sea, I don't feel the slightest coolness.
The climate is dry and sultry, and the environment doesn't look like any fertile soil, Liu Ming doesn't understand what such a place is for.
Before Liu Ming went abroad, he heard rumors that the land of the outer regions was full of all kinds of beauty, and it seemed that he could pick up a piece of dog's head gold by walking two steps, and at worst, he could go to the forest to cut down a piece of valuable wood.
Perhaps there are as many opportunities in the South Seas and Indochina Peninsula as rumored, but the Asan Continent, which is described as rich, is not so beautiful, they have not been to Fahrenheit, they cannot see the extreme luxury, and what they see on the coast and other areas is only primitive and desolate.
The Persian Sassanid was one of the three major empires in the known world, and there were not many rumors about Persia among the Han Chinese.
It is rumored that Persian Sassanid is a very large country, with a poor environment in the east and center, a plateau in the north, a jungled place in the south, and a major economically developed area in the west.
"It's a good thing we don't have to go to the heart of Persia, otherwise we would still be alive" "What do you mean?"
"We are located in the southwest of Persia, and it is so harsh and sweltering.
Everywhere in the eastern and central parts of the desert, how hot should it be?"
"The people on the other side of the fleet looked at the thermometer and said it was thirty-nine degrees."
"If you look for the local area, where can the temperature reach 39 degrees?"
Liu Ming still couldn't bear to take off his shirt, and only a pair of pants remained on his body.
The military uniforms of the Han army are divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, but it depends on where the army is, some places wear spring military uniforms all year round, and some places wear winter military uniforms all year round.
In summer, military uniforms are short tops and shorts, and the usual clothes are made of hemp, dresses are made of brocade, and combat uniforms are wool.
Woolen is a product of Yuan Shuo 14 years later, and it was rare at first, and it was considered a luxury.
However, with a large number of people going to the grassland to join the textile industry, coupled with the mass production of Shaofu, it soon became an ordinary thing.
But wool is actually not comfortable to wear, but the Han army only stipulates the appearance of military uniforms, and it doesn't matter what to wear inside, many people will prepare their own silk or brocade and silk underwear.
In fact, the Han Empire is so particular about today, and in a certain way it also shows that the military is not short of money, not only the military is not short of money, but the soldiers also have enough money in their pockets.
The affluence of the Han army is not only reflected in the exquisite dress, in addition to clothing, the military issued personal standard equipment for more than ten kinds of iron kettles, iron tableware, blankets, soap, belts, rations will not lack meat and dairy products.
In addition to the standard configuration issued by the military, soldiers also have a transportation share, ordinary soldiers are five catties, the higher the position, the higher the transportation share, and the title will also have a bonus.
Their share of transportation can be carried from the home country, or they can be sent by mail from outside the home country.
For soldiers who went abroad to fight, their share of transportation was usually used to mail some of the spoils of war.
That way, you don't have to carry a lot of stuff with you all the time.
Shipping is done once a month, that is, when the goods can be mailed to the person who wants to receive them, and there is basically no exact time.
Even the soldiers are too extravagant to arrange transportation shares, and I am afraid that they have not taken into account the deeper intentions to think like this.
It seems that the extravagant share of transportation, although the things transported back belong to the private owners of the soldiers, but after all, those things are in the homeland, and they will inevitably become part of the homeland.
To put it bluntly, the military's extravagant share of transportation is actually acquiescing to the army's plundering outside the country's borders.
Compared with the Han Empire, the rest of the countries did not have looting, but they did not have such procedures as the Han Empire.
"That's how they surrounded us" "If you get close, you'll be bombarded by the ship, they don't have the guts."
This Han army occupied the coastline of Luck, did not go deep, and only set up camp on the beach.
After a short period of three days, the Persian army that slowly gathered should have numbered about 35,000, and they would try to attack the Han camp on the beach at first, and every time they entered the firing range of the Han Empire's gunboats, they would be shelled, and then they would only besiege but not attack.
The encirclement of the Persian army was about twenty-five miles outside the Han camp, it may have been troops from different regions, or they wanted to induce the Han army on land to take the initiative to attack, and the Persian army of about 35,000 did not gather together, but was divided into at least twenty strands to form a semicircle.
The Han army that landed was originally close to 3,000, and later withdrew to the sea with 2,000, leaving less than 1,000 people in the beach camp, and Liu Ming's team was one of them.
They originally thought that they would encounter a stormy counterattack, but to be honest, they were still a little nervous in the face of about 35,000 enemy troops with less than 1,000, and when they saw that the enemy troops were repeatedly shelled, they retreated, and formed a group that knew the composition of the enemy army.
The current shelling is far more powerful than lethal, that is what the shells themselves dictate.
In fact, if they were not afraid of life and death to launch an attack, the Persian army would definitely be able to rush to the edge of the Han army's camp, once they approached the Han army's camp, the gunboats at sea would definitely stop the shelling to prevent accidental damage, but the Persian army obviously did not have enough determination.
One after another, Persian troops gathered from unknown places, and the more Persian troops arrived later, the more chaotic their clothes became, and it didn't look like a standing army, but an improvised armed group from the people The enemy army only besieged but did not attack, and did not dare to approach, which caused the Han army in the camp to change from high alert to normal vigilance.
Liu Ming is not on duty today, if they are willing or even can return to the warship at sea, but the weather is really too hot, returning to the sea is not only more comfortable than land, but even more painful because of the salt water on the sea and then being exposed to the sun, so they naturally choose to stay on land.
The Han camp on the beach was not very elaborate, with a makeshift fence wall on the periphery, and six earthen walls of different heights every ten meters in the back, and no trenches dug out.
Looking at the facilities in the camp, the lack of local materials on the premise of the house can not be built, you can only see rows of white triangular tents, and the larger tents are canteens or warehouses.
"There's movement" Zhou Chubo stood up and raised his hand to the east: "Look over there" Almost the next moment Zhou Chubo reminded, drums were beaten in the camp.
Twenty miles to the east of the Han camp on the beach, the Persians could be seen advancing in groups, but the distance between each of them was a little far, and the nearest was more than five meters.
Liang Min was drinking ice grape brew just now, when he heard the sound of drums coming from the land, he stood up and put down his cup, and picked up the binoculars to observe.
The Xingyang was one of the two gunboats left behind by Huan Wen, the other being the Jingjiao.

Bao Qing and Liang Min, who were the captains of the ship, were clearly told by Huan Wen that their main task was to ensure Liu Ming's safety, and that Liu Ming had to be withdrawn to the ship if nothing could be done, and guarding the beach troops was another major task.
"Three thousand, the enemy is in a straggler formation."
Xiao Xin has been an intelligence officer on the Xingyang for two years, and with sufficient experience, he just picked up a telescope and swept it, and immediately judged the number and intentions of the enemy.
With the permission of Captain Liang Min, he walked to the microphone and shouted: "The secondary gun is loaded with fragmentation shells, and one round of burst fire" The artillery of another Beijing ship also received the same order.
Soon, the two gunboats anchored on the sea surface sounded one after another, and the muzzles of the guns sticking out of the hull roared and then the guns retreated into the cabin, and the shells shot out from the dense smoke, and they flew into the land range after a leap, from the beach camp to the east, and gradually lost their kinetic energy, and then the position began to decrease, and the fuse inside hit the bottom, and the projectile exploded, and the shrapnel was shot out.
"Damned Persians" Ibn Abd al-Pil is stepping forward step by step, and with each step he comes a sharp ache: "They should go to hell" Ibn Abdul, who is a familiar name, was one of the Arab chieftains who had been financed by Wang Meng, who had been captured in Iraq six months earlier and sent to southern Sassanid a month earlier.
If you carefully identify the people approaching the Han camp on the beach, you can tell that most of them are not Persians at all, most of them are Arabs, a few are Serbs, and even fewer are Persians.
They were either prisoners of war or slaves, and the rest were prisoners.
Most of the captured Arabs were wounded, not from the fighting, but from whips, such as Ibn Abdul's arms, legs, and back.
Due to the hot weather here, many of the wounds of the injured have long been festering, and suppuration can be seen at a casual glance.
If you don't treat it urgently, you will usually have a high fever in the inflammation, and you will die before you can survive it.
At a distance of five or six meters in the sky, there were constantly shells, and the shrapnel after each explosion could always sweep down at least one or two people, and even take away a dozen or so people in serious cases.
Ibn Abd al-Abd saw a black creature flying towards him at a very fast speed, and instinctively fell to the ground, and the next moment an explosion came from overhead, and a Persian who raised his whip to beat him burst out in the blood.
Feeling that something heavy had fallen on his body, Ibn Abdul instantly felt a little frightened, and when he turned his head to see a head flowing with red and white liquid, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ibn Abdul already showed signs of fever, and not only him, but most of the people who had been driven out to attack the camp of the Han army on the beach were in very bad health, and belonged to the type that could not hold on for long, so that the Persians could use it.
"Wait a moment and don't run when you get close to the Han camp" Ibn Abd al-Il knew that many Persians could understand Arabic, but now was not the time to care: "Attack the Persians around you at once, and then shout at the Arabo."
Be sure to remember this saying" There are constantly people responding to Ibn Abdul, there are promises and threats, and it is naturally the Arabs who answer, and it is certainly the Persians who threaten and scold.
The Arabic Persians, who understood Arabic, had already begun to attack the nearby Arabs and Serbs, and their actions seemed to the Han army in the camp to be fratricidal.
The Han Chinese could not really tell who was an Arab, who was a Persian or a Serb, they could only clearly distinguish between the Ahsan and the African black-skinned people.
Seeing that the enemy troops were dragging and pulling towards the camp, they were only shelled once on the way, but they immediately fell into cannibalism, and many Han soldiers looked at each other for a while.
It didn't take long for a Persian archer to make the Han army somewhat aware that the Persian archers were shooting arrows at the unnamed armed forces that were in chaos.
"It should be a prisoner of war or a slave or something."
Liu Ming had already entered the combat post and guessed: "They were forced to attack us, and then chose to resist." ” The Han people are no strangers to such situations and are proud of it.
"The captain has ordered no one to come near the camp" There were only about a thousand Han troops in the beach camp, but the chief officer was a school captain.
Chen Zhan is the chief officer of this camp, he doesn't care who is rebelling against the Persians, where he comes from, or what he wants to do, what he cares about is to hold the camp, how can he accept some guys of unknown origin.
Ibn Abdul, who got up again and trotted towards the beach camp, saw that the camp of the Han army was the hope of life.
The gunboats at sea were no longer shelling them, they were extending backwards, and at the moment the main and secondary guns were firing, and it was the Persian troops who entered the firing range that were shelling.
Ibn Abd al-Abd was a chief, and the visual measurement of distance had to be mastered.
He approached about 150 meters to the Han camp, and every step forward was considered to be a sign of survival.
On the side of the Han camp, groups of crossbowmen were already in a state of readiness, and they shot their arrows at the sound of the command.
Ibn Abd al-Il did not feel surprised when he saw the Han army shooting arrows, and his pace did not stop, but even increased the speed of his running.
"We are Arabs" Ibn Abd al-Il shouted at the top of his voice: "Dear Han brothers, don't shoot arrows" It's not just Ibn Abdul who is shouting, it's just that the most standard Chinese is Ibn Abdul.
"What are they shouting?"
"Whatever, just shoot the arrow":
