Country and Beauty

The Qin State was stationed in the acanthopanax's main tent. Currently, the inside of the main tent was filled with killing intent. Trouble Soldiers Commander Shi Yue's face was ashen as he went into a rage. The fifteen Battalion Commanders under Trouble Soldiers were all like frosted eggplants, they didn't even dare to breathe out. They were afraid that General Shi would vent his anger on them.

"It took us three months to defeat acanthopanax, but now, in only five days, we have lost a third of the entire acanthopanax."

Shi Yue's chest heaved up and down. He stabilized his emotions for a moment and said: "To think that the great masters of our Great Qin s have always been unstoppable and invincible. Our Trouble Soldiers s have even specially come into being to relieve His Majesty of his troubles. I don't even know how to explain this to His Majesty! "

Just then, one of the staff officers stepped forward and pointed to the sand table map: "The Gupta's army's front lines have already reached the city, and they have basically controlled the area to the west. From the looks of the overall situation, if we cannot stop the Gupta Empire's army from advancing at the Motors Plateau, then we will lose the advantage of being in the acanthopanax. As long as we are able to cross the plateau, the acanthopanax will be a boundless beach and plain, and there will only be some low hills ahead of us, so if we cannot stop the Gupta Empire's army from attacking, we will be driven out of the acanthopanax sooner or later!"

This was the first time that he was in charge of a commander of a division, and this was the chance for him to show off his ability to the emperor. If he was unable to win this battle, and had even lost the acanthopanax, even if Xie Fei could not deal with him, the soldiers and tyrants of the army would not let him off easily. No matter how anxious he was, Shi Yue did not lose his wits. He turned to the generals and asked, "Which one of you has a good idea? can stop the troops of the Gupta Empire from continuing their attack! "

The officers below did not say a word. In the past, they had used mounts, deer firewood, horse spears, barricades, as well as various trap s and trenches to defend themselves. Unfortunately, the Gupta Empire was just like a modern version of an armored car, such as a horse, trap, or crater. Previously, the Qin Army had used the combination of the trap and the fortification to try and see things. However, elephants were different from war horses, they mainly relied on their charging speed to charge through the enemy, but elephants used their own huge natural advantage along with their unique Sound Wave Weapons.

If thousands of elephants were to howl together, anyone in front of them would feel short of breath and short of breath, and if they were serious, they would enter a short period of dementia. There was no need to talk about animals. Even if the King of Beasts was facing a herd of elephants, he could only run for his life. Especially war horses. Even if they were more than five kilometers away, they would still panic and cause a mad horse effect. Besides, elephants have a natural insight into danger, and no one who tries to ambush the elephant army can fool a smart elephant.

Although the Qin Army was equipped with brachial arch with a range exceeding 300 steps, they were able to shoot such people. When you shoot at an elephant with a very powerful bow and arrow, you can only pierce its skin at a distance of fifty paces. It would be difficult to inflict fatal damage on them unless they used massive poison arrows. Besides, if the elephants were hurt after the attack, they would change even more crazily. Furthermore, elephants were a group of animals. As long as an elephant was injured or killed, the other elephants would involuntarily choose to avenge their companions. This would enrage the elephant, making it extremely dangerous.

He couldn't beat them, but how many people would be needed to flatten an elephant's foot? One had to know, the Gupta Empire was not just a few hundred thousand elephants, it was a hundred and fifty thousand. Even if the Trouble Soldiers had a few hundred thousand more people, it was still not enough for an elephant to trample on.

If ambushing didn't work, they couldn't fight head on. It was a pity that it would be extremely difficult to realize it. The Gupta Empire was able to annihilate dozens of countries of varying sizes and unify all of India, at least his General Jia Lituo was not a mediocre person. The tactics he used were almost the same as Qin Haoran's; Since it was like this, it was impossible to lure the enemy any further.

Although Shi Yue liked to use his brain when fighting, didn't like to put too much effort into fighting, but war was like this. If the opponent didn't make a mistake and wanted to come up with a surprise win, there was nothing he could do about it.

As the silence grew longer, the atmosphere in the tent became so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. At this awkward moment, a voice broke the silence.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw a young general standing in the corner of the tent. From the looks of his military uniform, he wasn't even a high ranking military officer. He was just an ordinary lieutenant. However, this young lieutenant was emitting a unique aura. Even the Trouble Soldiers Commander Shi Yue's aura wasn't as strong as his. Everyone knew that this was the second prince of Great Qin, Xie An. It was not uncommon in Chinese history to fight on the front lines as a prince. This young general who was even more handsome than the woman went straight to the point, "Right now, under the situation where there is a huge disparity between the military equipment and overall combat capabilities of the two sides, using the tactics that the Qin Army has always used, and fighting head on with force, the tactic of" fighting to the death with the position ", is not a strategy. That way, it would often result in a situation where one was passively receiving a beating, and was surrounded and annihilated by the Gupta's army. In order to lure the enemy deeper, it was not a good idea to retreat in a straight line. When the Trouble Soldiers retreated, it was very easy for the Gupta's army to catch up with him. At the same time, once the troops retreated in a straight line, it would be very difficult for them to stand firm on their feet, and like this, they would actually charge to the rear lines of their army and cause them to be in an uncontrollable state of retreat. "

When Shi Yue heard Xie An's words, he continuously nodded his head. Being able to have such wisdom at such a young age, it was indeed worthy of respect.

Xie An continued: "We cannot continue to retreat now, if we do, the entire acanthopanax will be lost. Great Qin Empire is giving over thousands of loyal warriors their territory, if we lose it, we would be the sinner of Qin State. "

Just then, everyone in the big tent looked at Xie An at the same time. Facing dozens of eyes, Xie An's Typhoon is not bad, he revealed a mesmerizing smile, and continued to speak: "In the future when the Gupta Empire's army attacks, the frontline guards will not be allowed to follow the rules of the city, that way the Gupta's army will easily encircle and destroy them. He had to make full use of the acanthopanax's terrain to fight and retreat. Retreat is not to retreat in a straight line like before, but to retreat into the mountains on both sides. The most dangerous areas, after occupying a favorable terrain, make the best use of their time to set up defensive fortifications. In response to the rough nature of the elephants, they set up numerous fire arenas. No matter how brave and fierce the animals are, they all have a fatal weakness: they are afraid of fire. After circling the troops outside of the enemy's encirclement, the troops were scattered everywhere. Each of them had their own way of fighting, forcing the Gupta Empire to divide the troops on a large area. If the enemy continued to move forward, it would be the same as before. The external forces are tasked with attacking their food lines. "

Ran Min muttered to himself, "I understand, all enemies have a weakness. The Gupta Empire's army had a lot of troops, his defense was strong and defense was strong, the impact was strong and forceful, her cavalry moved extremely fast, and he had both offense and defense. But they also have weaknesses, and having more troops means that it's hard to command and control, and it's even more difficult to supply. "

Xie An smiled and said to Ran Min: "What second brother said makes sense! —) At the same time, we must also do our best to prevent the Gupta Empire from getting supplies on the spot. lure the enemy to the final battle area, then use the naval cannons of the Third Fleet and our artillery to form a strong artillery position. When the enemy is exhausted, we will resolutely fight back. "

After Shi Yue received Xie An's reminder, he quickly asked a certain department to formulate a detailed battle plan.

Just as a certain clan was making a plan for the final battle, Shi Yue also gave the order for the entire acanthopanax to mobilize. It was because the Gupta Empire had taken the attack without discrimination or object, and after letting the indigenous people of the acanthopanax pay the price for their suffering, they finally stood firmly on the side of the Qin State. The nearly four hundred thousand young and able-bodied citizens of acanthopanax were all gathered together, digging trenches and ditches everywhere. As long as elephant soldier fell into the trench, they would not be able to get out. The trench was three meters deep and perpendicular to the direction of the trench was the width of the trench. At the same time, the ditch was also filled with spices. Since they could not severely injure the elephant with the wood trap, they had to take the natural sharp stone. No matter how thick the elephant skin was, under the effects of gravity, it was not possible for them to escape unscathed.

That night, the Trouble Soldiers made a plan of battle.

On that day, the Fourteenth Battalion of the Trouble Soldiers was the first to receive the enemy. According to the plan made by a certain division, the Fourteenth Battalion Commander had reinforced the defensive structures.

The Elephant Army of the Gupta Empire also attacked slowly as usual, they were also using the method of moving forward slowly.

But suddenly the dozen elephants in front wailed and fell into the camouflaged trench. There were three soldiers controlling the elephant, a shield bearer, a longbow bearer, and a longspear bearer. He was also knocked unconscious, and before they could even react, the elephant who was stabbed by the sharp stone immediately went crazy. The elephant moved randomly, and the three Gupta soldiers were crushed into meat patties by its usually docile companion. They finally understood that a mad elephant was not something a man could control.

When they heard the wails of the elephants in front, the elephants behind them also sped up their charge. The elephants had their own language, and after conversing with them for a while, the elephants stopped. Of course, at this time, the elephant learnt its lesson, no matter how elephant soldier tried to drive it away, the elephant would still resolutely strike.

Within a short five kilometers, the Gupta Empire did not even manage to see the shadow of the Qin Army, and they had already lost close to a hundred elephants and hundreds of soldiers.

Although this kind of loss was nothing to Gupta's army, who had 150,000 battle elephant s, 300,000 troops, and more than 800,000 people, it was a huge blow to their morale.

The next day, the Gupta's army encountered another barricade. On this day, the entire Gupta's army only advanced a little less than fifty kilometers. They had lost another few hundred battle elephant. Nearly a thousand casualties.

Qin Army had changed her strategy, making Jia Lituo very angry. This was the first time she felt that their opponent was not that easy to deal with. But when Jia Lituo thought about how the Qin Army's forces were not even a tenth of their own. Jia Lituo regained his confidence and fighting spirit.

Two days after obstructing the Gupta's army, the Fourteenth Battalion received the order to split into two groups to retreat towards the two flanked mountain ranges.

When Jia Lituo received the news that the Qin Army was retreating towards their two wings, he did not split up his troops, but continued forward, not caring about the movements of the Qin Army at all.
