Country and Beauty

When the port was seized by the army of the Jiangnan Merchant Union at the speed of lightning, he lost most of his king's guard, leaving only about ten thousand men behind. He immediately gathered all the troops that had been transmitted to him from Sioborga and began to defend the perimeter of the palace. He used the riders to place thirteen circular lines around the perimeter. This type of deployment wasn't considered a loophole, but his biggest mistake was not knowing who his opponent was.

Because this was not a real army, but a death squadron. The order they received was to complete Zhou Yang's plan at all costs. In a one on one fight, these Death Soldiers were able to defeat a large portion of the elite Qin Army troops. He Yuan did not have much leadership skills nor did he have any preparations. He only had the three families as a team and attacked directly. They did not send out any feints or reserves. Eighty thousand men and horses attacked. As for Gu Shuo, he was left behind at the port to carry out the task of setting the fire.

When the Vikramaditya received the report of the battle, he only attacked along the way after seeing the division of Jiangnan Merchant Union's troops. As for the other path, he did not move and rested at the port. He judged that the Qin Army must have used the eighty thousand people to feign attack and the remaining troops to attack the weak points of their defense. Therefore, he dared not to be careless. He ordered the remnants of the King's Guard to retract their defenses and deploy them in four different directions of the palace.

He Yuan did not plan on splitting up the troops. He only knew that with more people, the hundred thousand Gupta Army were divided into four groups, with each side having thirty to forty thousand people while He Yuan had more than eighty thousand. Although frontal attacks could resist strongly, they could not resist He Yuan's attacks either.

The battle on the outside was also rather unexpected, making it so that the chariots, archers, infantrymen, javelins, sabers and shields had not even finished setting up the formation, the Jiangnan Merchant Union Army had already arrived, easily breaking through all six lines of defense, and on the seventh path they finally encountered a real resistance. The Jiangnan Merchant Union Army suffered heavy losses, with heavy casualties. With just a round of attacks from the archers, more than three to four thousand people were killed.

However, the traits that practitioners of the martial arts world possessed was that they valued friendship and life and death. Most of them were close friends, but when he saw his close brothers and fellow soldiers had died in front of him, their first reaction was to seek revenge. Due to the different reactions, everyone had different movements and speeds. Adding to the fact that the speed was different, such a sparse and scattered attack formation should not hold any advantage against the concentrated defensive Formation, but, the Jiangnan Merchant Union Army had to have trained a lot of powerful martial artists, although they did not have any powerful skills, their attack speed was much faster than normal people. With shields in hand, their charging speed was too fast, and in front of a two meter carriage, this height was not something an ordinary person could directly overturn without using any technique, but in front of a group of Death Soldiers, it was very easy for them to overturn.

Close combat, random battles, they were all under the Jiangnan Merchant Union army's control. The most striking massacre for the Jiangnan Merchant Union Army appeared on the battlefield. The powder was still flying all over the place, and the defending army of Gupta was blinded by the scene before them – short blades. A longsword, a gauntlet, and a departure hook. In any case, as long as the grade eighteen weapons could be called high quality, they were all here. Soon, another side of the battlefield fell.

It was not that there was no history of a single siege, but that it was only for the sake of defeating the enemy. Although the subsequent battles were quite tragic, the Jiangnan Merchant Union's army had the advantage in numbers. Furthermore, every one of them had the intention to make a fortune in their hearts, and each of them had the ability to fight in a battle that was unlike any other army they had ever fought.

As the most characteristic nature of Chinese people, the soldier dies for the confidant. For five thousand years, such thoughts had affected countless people. For the sake of a single promise, countless people had sacrificed their lives for it. They were not loyal to the Qin State, but they were loyal to their Patriarch, to the parents who raised and trained them.

Gu Shuo ordered his men to set fire to the ports, burning all the military supplies used by the Gupta Army to support the war. After the fire, Gu Shuo received a report, "A large number of the Gupta's Elephant Army has been discovered. About thirty thousand elephants are in the northwest. "

Gu Shuo didn't know what the Elephant Army was. In the battle at the port, he felt that the Gupta Army really didn't have anything extraordinary about them. Other than fighting to the death and not retreating, there wasn't anything impressive about them.

Gu Shuo immediately ordered the Elephant Army to attack.

The mistake was that the Gupta Army was self-righteous, they had been attacked by the Heaven Bombing grenade before, and such a violent explosion would make the elephants go crazy, and they would not be able to control themselves, causing more harm than the mad horses. When the Third Fleet's artillery barrage was fierce, the elephant army, fearful that the elephant would go crazy, actually thought themselves as if they were tying the elephant up with thick ropes or iron chains, although doing so avoided the destruction caused by the elephant's madness. However, when Gu Shuo launched his attack, the elephant army was actually unable to fight directly.

The thirty thousand odd Elephant Army did not form a formation, they were all scattered Formation. The immovable elephant army is the target of the infantry.

When He Yuan attacked and broke through the palace's six lines of defense, Gu Shuo completely annihilated one of the Gupta's Elephant Army — — Aksoschini. Most of the thirty thousand Elephant Army troops were captured, and a few fled.

Gu Shuo ordered all the elephants to be gathered up. The iron chains were still tied, and he was prepared to bring them back to the country as spoils of war. But the cannons outside the port didn't know why, but when they saw the huge elephant army appearing at the port and thought it was the Gupta Army's counterattack, the cannons immediately fired.

Another chaotic battle broke out. After a series of artillery barrages, the elephant went completely mad. With the instinct of animal self-preservation, they began to run wildly. They backed away. Gu Shuo had suffered heavy losses after being attacked by the elephant army. Over thirty thousand men and horses were trampled by the elephants in an instant. Seeing that he was unable to stop the elephant from running, and that the sword and arrow were unable to harm the elephant, Gu Shuo ordered the Heaven Bombing grenade to counterattack.

Elephants were not afraid of swords and arrows, but they were afraid of Heaven Bombing grenade.

There were not even half of Gu Shuo's troops left. There were less than ten thousand left. These men were the loyal death warriors that the Gu Clan had nurtured for many years. They were the backbone of their forces. With such casualties, he would not be able to report them back. The furious Gu Shuo ordered the rest of his troops to chase after them.

Explosions could be heard from time to time from behind, and the speed at which the elephant was running became even faster.

The ones defending at the west side of the palace were the three Plutnas of the Para Wa Tribe. There were more than 40,000 troops and more than 5000 chariots among them. With such a strong defensive force, even if the Qin Army attacked, it would still be at a heavy cost to break through the defensive line. However, the mad elephant easily broke through the Parawan Tribe. The chariot couldn't withstand a single blow from the elephant, and was directly trampled into pieces.

Almost at the same time He Yuan broke through the thirteen lines of defense on the east, Gu Shuo drove the Elephant Army to break through the western line of defense.

When the Singer heard this news, he was completely shocked. His first reaction was that the elite troops of the Qin Army had arrived. They were able to breach thirteen lines of defense consecutively, using more than eighty thousand people on the eastern battlefield, but it took them more than six hours.

At this time, He Yuan saw from afar the temporary palace of Gupta Sendaro II. Although it was temporary, the buildings here were clearly of ancient Indian characteristics. Although it couldn't be compared to the one in Batna, it was still magnificent, majestic and grandiose.

"Formation, fight the enemy!" In front of him was another high-pitched sound. The long spear, short blade, and large shield formed a wall of steel and sharp blades.

Seeing the formation, He Yuan was startled, and shouted with his spear, "Vikramaditya's palace is close, kill your way in! To capture Vikramaditya alive, you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold. "

The last line of defense made He Yuan extremely excited. At the same time, he ordered everyone to take out their final killing move, which was the Heaven Bombing grenade that Zhou Yang had given them. The strength of these Heaven Bombing grenade were not ordinary among this group of martial artists. Their arms were quite good, much stronger than the regular army of Qin Army. Their aim was also not bad, and many of them were the original hidden weapons experts.

"Boom boom boom". Hundreds of Heaven Bombing grenade s exploded violently behind the shield. Just a few hundred Heaven Bombing grenade turned the last line of defense of the Gupta Army into a pile of minced meat.

The bright red sunset, shyly hiding in the clouds, the night finally came in the anxious waiting. On the calm sea surface, Zhou Yang sat like an old monk meditating on the Third Fleet's flagship, the Qin Shi Huang Emperor. Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came over. After a while, the messenger held onto a carrier pigeon and walked quickly in front of Zhou Yang.

"Marshal, an emergency report from Sioborga!"

Zhou Yang received the carrier pigeon and took out a small slip of paper from its leg. Zhou Yang's calm face finally revealed a smile that no one knew.

Zhang Bo said seriously, "Great Marshal, could it be that the Jiangnan Merchant Union did not mobilize the troops from the Singer at the Mada Plateau? I knew that other than being greedy and selfish, there was nothing else these hereditary valve could do! "

Zhou Yang laughed: "On the contrary, they did well this time. Not only did they mobilize Ma Lawa and Wu Zhenjun's forces, they also did quite well in the battle."

Zhang Bo Zhong looked at the battle report and was stunned. His reaction wasn't slow. He said, "Marshal, shouldn't we carry out the second phase of the operation?"

Zhou Yang nodded his head, he suddenly stood up and said with a strong killing intent: "Everyone in Third Fleet has the code name 'Hurricane', we will officially begin!"

As night fell, one after another, gunboat without any lights and more than 500 transport ship s quietly headed towards Sara Bay. As the waters of Sara Bay were shallow and dense with reefs, if one was not careful, the ship would be destroyed and people killed. They actually had very detailed hydrological information. However, in order to successfully arrive at Sara Bay, the Third Fleet's water ghost army of more than two thousand people were all manually navigating the areas that were densely covered by underwater reefs.

This way, although the efficiency was low and the risk factor was high, it was still a good way to conceal the characteristics.

Just as Zhou Yang was leading the Third Fleet towards Sara Bay at night, Shi Yue started to gather everyone and prepare for their final exit.

Shi Yue said, "The more incompetent you are, the more soldiers you will have to lead." Now that General Zhou Yang has risked his life to open up a gap for us, we have to cherish this opportunity that is hard to come by. Tonight, the entire army would have a hearty meal, with all their weapons and leftover provisions, all thrown away. We will retreat from the northern mountains! "

Meng Tianhu said: "The northern borders are exceptionally steep, and are extremely inconvenient to retreat at night. If the enemy discovers us, and we were to continue to kill them from behind, our army would have heavy casualties. We can retreat, but we need to leave behind a sniper squad."

Shi Yue thought about it, and felt that Meng Tianhu's words made sense, but after adding all his guard battalions into the mix, out of the sixteen battalions, almost no one was left. The one with the most casualties was still Ran Min's eleventh battalion, which had over two-thirds of them dead and wounded. But because Ran Min, Xie An, Xie Gai and the others' identities were too sensitive, he did not dare to let Ran Min take the risk.

He helplessly looked at Shi Qian. This was his nephew, only eighteen years old, and he was also intelligent. He would also become an intelligent general after a few more days of training, and right now, he was the Battalion Commander of the Guard Battalion. After a series of intense battles, a trace of resolution appeared on his young face. However, at this time, the guard battalion had also suffered heavy losses. The one thousand five hundred people guard battalion only had six hundred people left. The casualties were close to two-thirds.

Shi Yue said, "Incorporate the remnants of the fourth and ninth battalion into the guard battalion, and transfer eight hundred people from the eleventh battalion into the guard battalion. With the guard as the organization's defender, even if the guards of the guard battalion run out of manpower, they can't retreat as long as there's one soldier who hasn't retreated. If the entire army retreat, they can wait for an opportunity to move, and have the right to be independent in battle."
