Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 988
Chapter 995

At that time, the situation in Wei State was very bad, and the only way to get the slim chance of life was to take the risk of a surprise attack, so Ran Ming dared to bet, because he knew very well at that time that he had nothing but his life, and he was willing to scrape himself off, and dared to drag the emperor dismount.So Ran Ming relied on his pitiful historical knowledge, foresight, and the mentality of a gambler, and finally succeeded.

However, as the national power of the Wei State became stronger and stronger, Ran Ming never counted on any surprise soldiers to win in the military field, but crushed his opponents with an upright army formation and overwhelming power.Chen Yong especially understands Ran Ming's good intentions.That's why Ran Ming dared to hand over this huge army to Chen Yong, not only because Chen Yong was Ran Ming's apprentice, but also because Chen Yong was stable enough.

After collective discussion, the generals at all levels of the Wei State Expeditionary Army overturned the three sets of operational plans of the Expeditionary Army Staff Headquarters. To establish a stable port, it was no coincidence that the staff of the expeditionary force finally established the port at the location of the port of Chennai after field reconnaissance.At this time, of course, there is no name of Chennai Port, but on the ground here is a small village named Madras.

The waters near the port of Madras are very good, with an average water depth of ten feet, and the deepest depth is seventeen feet and three feet. Not to mention ordinary wooden sailboats with shallow drafts in this era, even the 30-ton giant ships of later generations can be normal. dock.This coastline shaped like a "ji" has become a huge construction site. Wei Guo not only planned to build as many as 48 [-]-stone berths, but also built semi-permanent water villages and port walls.

The whole project plan is very huge, and the newly built port will be Hanchang Port with a strong Chinese style. Anyway, after Chen Yong reports it, whether Ran Ming will change its name again is Ran Ming's business.The staff of the Expeditionary Force is running out of time, and they are only building docks that can berthed by warships and transport ships. As for other facilities, it is a follow-up construction plan.

After the Wei State Expeditionary Army landed in Madras, it began to reconnaissance and advance outwards, pushed the cordon to a radius of [-] miles, and established a temporary half-moon camp in the port area.These camps are all composed of Wei's eight-ox crossbow crossbow carts, ballista gun carts, rocket launchers, and fierce fire oil tank launchers. More than [-] chariots of various types form a ten-year-long road The six-mile camp, and meticulously digging trenches, setting up horses, traps and erecting arrow towers, although these are only temporary buildings, they have also become a hard bone. If the Gupta Empire does not take enough lives to fill it, it must be Will return in vain.

The advanced point of Wei State is the clear division of labor. The Chinese nation has already accumulated enough experience in building various large-scale buildings. If the Gupta Empire were to build a port of this scale, it would take at least ten years, if not ten years. more than five years.However, Wei Guo used miraculous speed to complete this huge project.Especially on the third day, shore cranes, gantry cranes and tower cranes that can lift tens of thousands of catties were erected, and the progress of the entire project was increased geometrically.

Of course, there are also some discordant things in the progress of the project. For example, the soldiers of the indigenous servant army are forced to work as laborers. The screams of the indigenous workers came from the construction site. For example, an indigenous soldier who wanted to be lazy would be roughly hung on the flagpole by the supervisors to bask in the sun.Apart from these occasional discordant things, the treatment of these workers is also good, at least the Wei State Expeditionary Army did not deprive them of food, and there is enough sea fish.

After reconnaissance, Naya Malik could no longer sit still after discovering the real movement of Wei Guo, and he suddenly became anxious.If the Serisians were to continue working like ants, it would be difficult to drive them away.Although the Gupta Empire was on the rise at this time, and the centripetal force and cohesion of the whole country were also very strong, it was just that the third brother was never world-famous for his force.Naya Malik sent an army to test the reality of the Wei army, but was beaten up by the expeditionary army Gao Shi for a while, but an army of 3000 people fled back with less than [-] people, and the others were either killed on the spot or Became a member of the labor force on the construction site of Wei State.

Bender Assam is a Brahmin of the Gupta Empire. Bender is one of the unique castes of Brahmins. Less preferential treatment, there is no way, who told Bender Assam to cooperate too much with the Wei State Expeditionary Army? Not only did he lead his subordinates to surrender, but he also commanded the captives to give up resistance.Because of Bend Assam's move, the Wei State Expeditionary Army and the captured soldiers in Tamil Nadu reduced a lot of unnecessary unfriendly behaviors.

As a noble Brahmin of the Gupta Empire, Bund Assam naturally did not have to work.At this time, Bender Assam was lying comfortably on a deck chair, stuffing steamed buns into his mouth from time to time.These steamed buns are not the food that the indigenous soldiers and laborers should enjoy. These soldiers of the Wei Army Expeditionary Army, the special treatment of soldiers in the north who love pasta.The steamed buns just steamed by Huotoujun are fluffy and soft, and there is a piece of lard with salt in the middle. If you eat a mouthful of oil, you only need to eat two pieces of these steamed buns a day.Never go hungry all day.

At first, Chen Yong thought that the monks in the Gupta Empire did not eat meat. In fact, the Brahmins who were responsible for the sacrifices in the Gupta Empire were not all vegetarians. Some of them still ate meat, such as fish, chicken, pigeon, mutton and Duck eggs (most are sacrifices to gods).The Brahmins of Bengal eat fish.Bend Assam had never eaten pork before, and suddenly he got braised pork (canned). He felt that he had spent more than 30 years in vain.

The name of the foodie empire is really not built. Through some simple meals, Bund Assam was completely conquered.Suddenly, Bund Assam, who was eating steamed buns, ran to the construction site quickly, stuffed the steamed buns in his hand into his mouth three or two times, and then raised his whip to whip a Tamil prisoner. What is surprising is that the beaten prisoner not only didn't know how to dodge, nor begged for mercy, but immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bender Assam.

It turns out that in the eyes of Tamil people, being beaten by noble Brahmins is also their glory.Chen Yong and the generals of the Wei State Expeditionary Army really didn't understand these captives, why they had to work hard with the paid Wei State craftsmen.This is an incredible nation, and even more so, a country that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

The time of peace is always the shortest. After persisting for the sixth day, Naya Malik sent his confidant, Dela Sekia, to lead a full two reorganization of Aksohini's army and leave Chennai City, launched an attack on Hanchang Port.The distance between Chennai City and Hanchang Port is not far, and the straight-line distance is only 100 miles. Of course, the road conditions of the Gupta Empire are very poor, and they need to detour for more than [-] miles to reach Hanchang Port.

With this distance of less than 140 miles, Wei Guo could reach it in a day at most with a full-armed march.However, the Gupta Imperial Army walked for three full days, and did not reach fifteen miles outside Hanchang Port until the evening of the third day.

"Walking 120 miles in three days, it's really hard to believe that this is the elite of the Gupta Empire who is best at fighting on foot!" Chen Yong said to Gao Shi with a smile: "I thought they were all invited by monkeys! "

"Who says it's not!" Gao Shi said in a daze: "I really can't believe that the Gupta Empire will create such a big situation in just over forty years. From the beginning of the city, it may take more than 40 years for the Gupta army to go around all the territory of the Gupta Empire!"

Guo Yue said: "There are no worthless soldiers under the fame, and the Gupta army must not be like this. Although their speed is slow, but the Gupta Empire can break through such a big situation, there must be their excellence."

Chen Yong said: "Whether it's a strong outsider, or a trick to lure the enemy into a weaker one, don't we know if we try?"

"Let me go, little brother!" Ran Ming's fifth disciple Zu Yan immediately established a relationship with Chen Yong.This time with Ran Ming, all five of Ran Ming's disciples participated except Liu Ke.But after these hours of fighting, the gap between them has also widened.Chen Yong became the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, while his second disciple Qin Chong became the general of the marine corps, and he was in charge of four marine battalions, which is equivalent to a lieutenant-general-level general in later generations.And Guo Yue became the marching commander of the expeditionary army, and this official position is equivalent to the chief of staff of the great military region in later generations.

But Zu Yan didn't take part in many battles, and his combat characteristics were more conservative than Chen Yong's, so he didn't get much military merit. He was only promoted to two ranks and became a fourth-rank Jianwei general, far behind Chen Yong and the other three.

So Zu Yan was in a hurry.Chen Yong understood Zu Yan's eagerness, but he still persuaded: "Master has already taught us that combat is a process of following the trend. We must use all the forces we can to strengthen ourselves as much as possible. Among the forces of nature, the power of nature is the most powerful among them, and it is also the most equitable force for both sides in the battle. Master taught us that combat is to pull the enemy from their best field to our more In the fields we are good at, we will give full play to our strengths."

"Thank you for your teaching, senior brother, Yan understands!" Zu Yan said: "Yan will never embarrass the master and senior brother!"

In fact, the smooth and crazy expansion of the Gupta Empire for so many years is definitely not based on boasting. Just like Della Sekia, regardless of his age is less than 40 years old, he is the golden age of a general. An old bird who had been on the battlefield for a long time, just arrived at the front line, he smelled danger from the air.

"General, the people of Seris are gathering, why don't you take this opportunity to test their quality?"

"No hurry!" Della Sekia said lightly: "You don't need to try to know, you will definitely not take advantage of it if you go, you haven't seen the densely packed crossbows on those camps, this is the most important thing for the Serisians. One of the terrifying weapons, the range can reach a thousand meters. The shields and armors in the hands of our soldiers have no defense against this kind of giant crossbow. Wait for them to come out, as long as they leave the protection of the giant crossbow, I will let them These ignorant Siris know that Brahma cannot be offended!"

However, the reality did teach Della Secchia a lesson. The Wei army's camp was actually moving, moving as a whole. Although the speed of these car formations was not fast, it caused a huge pressure on people.The Wei army infantry and a small number of cavalry are almost like a whole, especially the uniform and uniform one, which is simply a deterrent at the level of psychological warfare nuclear weapons.

Finally, those Tamil warriors couldn't bear the huge pressure. Some of them held battle axes, some held Gupta long swords, and some held long spears, making strange screams, and launched an attack on the Wei army formation. .

De La Secchia closed his eyes in pain. He knew what would happen to an army formation like an infantry charge. Sure enough, the facts also verified his guess.As the two armies approached quickly, the rockets with the longest range in Wei Guojun took the lead, and those rockets with long tails set off waves of blood among the Tamil warriors.The Tamil warriors did not disgrace their tribe, they were still the best foot warriors in the Gupta Empire.

Faced with the huge casualties caused by the rockets, the Tamil fighters did not back down, but accelerated their progress, stepping on the soft soil, leaving deep footprints one after another, but soon these footprints were collected by blood donations. Full.This tentative confrontation started quickly and ended equally quickly.

In just one stick of incense (5 minutes), the two sides retreated separately. Looking around, there were broken corpses and ownerless horses everywhere in sight. Several flags were randomly dumped on the ground, blown by the wind. There was a clattering sound, but there was no sign of the flag bearer.

This is a massacre like Shura hell!
Six-foot-long crossbows can be seen everywhere, and the incendiary bombs are still crackling and burning. The solid ballista shells are densely embedded in the soft ground, and more of them are embedded in the dead bodies.And the gunpowder bomb left huge deep pits one after another on the ground, as well as corpses that were blown to pieces.

"The combat power of equipment will eventually replace personal bravery!" Zu Yan was extremely convinced that Ran Ming was the most correct. This time, he didn't swing a knife or kill an enemy, but they won a complete victory. , and even played a huge disparity record of 87 to [-].

After occupying the small town of Mulu Dubang, Liu Laozhi embarked on a new journey after a simple repair.Although Liu Laozhi dispatched the most careful Xie Xuan's troops as forwards to search and advance all the way, the encounter finally happened.

Xie Xuan was walking in the wild, open on all sides, without any human habitation, but the uneasiness in Xie Xuan's heart became more and more intense. Even though he was protected by the bodyguards, Xie Xuan still didn't feel a sense of security.At this moment, Xie Xuan inadvertently discovered that the weeds on the ground had turned yellow. In a piece of green grass, this piece of withered yellow weeds looked so dazzling.A faint smile appeared on Xie Xuan's face, and he gestured slowly. Although ordinary Wei Jun did not promote combat sign language, he had some experience as a scout or guard.

Seeing Xie Xuan's gesture, the four guards gently pulled out the horizontal knife at their waist, and slowly surrounded the piece of withered and yellow wild grass. At this moment, a guard on Xie Xuan's right suddenly felt The ground was slowly raised, and without even thinking about it, he slashed at the raised turf with the horizontal knife, and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

The battle cry of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up" does the well-trained soldiers of the wei army quickly approach their comrades-in-arms, and then back to back, shielding their shields in front of their bodies, their eyes quickly searched for possible enemies.Just when Xie Xuan's four personal guards were about to approach the withered yellow grass, the whole ground suddenly collapsed, and the spear came out of the ground, stabbing fiercely into the lower abdomen of the four personal guards.

Although Wei Guo's armor was strong, there was no means of protection for the lower body between the legs, so the spear drilled out of the ground pierced the lower abdomen of the four bodyguards without any effort.

"Ah!" The four guards screamed in pain one after another, but the screams stopped soon, because the four guards all turned into corpses.

Xie Xuan is very skilled, and he really fights alone, and Liu Laozhi is not an opponent. If it is said that Xie Xuan can be on par with Xie Xuan in the same period in history, only Liu Yu is the only one.Xie Xuan felt something was wrong, so he rolled over without any image. Four long spears stabbed out from under his body, but he narrowly avoided them one by one, and then his horizontal knife stabbed obliquely into the ground.A puddle of blood sprang out from the ground, Xie Xuan forcefully pulled the enemy out of the ground with both hands, and saw a Gupta soldier with his upper body naked and a white cloth wrapped around his head appearing in front of everyone.

There are some monks in the Gupta Empire. They tortured themselves in different ways. Some fasted for a long time or even deprived of water. Severe cold and other things to exercise endurance and libido.Over time, these ascetics slowly evolved into ancient Indian martial arts. These people have almost abnormal endurance and physical fitness. I am afraid that the special soldiers who have undergone special training in later generations may not necessarily have better physical fitness than them.But this way of cultivating the Tao is not an individual behavior, but a very common phenomenon.
