Country and Beauty

At this time, the biggest threat to the Gupta Navy was not Qin Army's Cannon boat or the bed crossbow on top of Qin Army's battleship, but rather the floating thunder.

On the vast surface of the sea, the sky and water formed a line. There was no smoke, no gunfire, everything seemed so peaceful. Originally, the Gupta Navy could only move back and forth with their eyes closed as they were extremely familiar with the route. However, just at this moment, a loud "boom" rang out, sending huge waves into the sky. An unlucky Gupta warship, which had a weight of over fifty kilograms, was struck by water and thunder. The pure wood structure of the warship was able to complete the transformation from a warship to a broken piece of wood.

The Gupta Navy still did not understand what happened just now. They still maintained their offensive formation and rushed forward quickly.

Twelve seas ahead, on the observation tower of the Qin Army's Navy Wei Qing, Yu Le put down the binoculars with a strange expression on his face, he shook his head and walked to the observation tower, and muttered: "Big loss, big loss!"

As the senior elder of the Qin Army, Li Shan sighed and asked, "General Yu, what great loss have you suffered?"

Yu Le had a look of regret on his face as he spoke sincerely, "How should we put it this way? The cost of a single water mine is not low at all. It's worth more than a hundred taels of silver, but why do I feel like killing a chicken with a cow-knife on a small boat like the Gupta's navy? From my point of view, we should not have set up these water and thunder fields, and should be fighting them head on. "

Li Shan also knew that as long as the Gupta Navy entered the mine, it would basically mean destruction. The pitiful Gupta Navy probably wouldn't even have the chance to see the enemy face to face. No matter who was in command, the path forward was a dead end.

The people of Gupta did not know what happened. The water mines were a type of weapon that could explode below the water line. Even if it was just one water mine, it could send the two thousand ton iron armored ships of the future to the bottom of the sea. The strong explosive force, which was a fatal blow, quickly made countless of the Gupta's navy fall into a panic. The pursuers had already approached the defense line, and the fierce battle of jumping made the proud skills of the Gupta's navy seem to pale in the face of the Qin Army's piercing attack.

No matter if it was the Qin Army's cannon boats or the transport ship s, their size was much larger than the Gupta's war ships. Other than the previous Galgona's fleet of warships which still held the advantage, the Gupta's fleet had been completely wiped out, and the Gupta's navy no longer had the ability to build large ships in this short period of time. In this kind of battle, unless one had the faith to fight to the death, the Gupta's navy had been scared out of their wits by the craziness of the Qin Army.

It was almost impossible to see hand-to-hand combat in the sea in modern times, but Age of Cold Weapons used to do this before the invention of missiles and aircraft.

As far as they could see, Qin Army would use their cannons to shoot, and bed crossbow to suppress and fire at close range. As soon as they got close enough, it would save them a lot of trouble, allowing them to directly catch the enemy ship with a hook. Then, Qi Li would pull the enemy ship closer together, saving even the water ladders for jumping combat. The Qin soldiers who had boarded the enemy ship unleashed his strongest fighting strength as well as his fearsome fighting style. First, he threw out Heaven Bombing grenade s, causing them to be badly mutilated from the explosions, which caused the Gupta's navy to be disoriented.

Without sufficient manpower to resist, without any reasonable tactics to resist, it would be a one-sided massacre. Broken weapons, thick blood, and mutilated corpses were strewn across the ships' warehouses, decks, and corridors of the Gupta.

They were slaves in the Gupta Empire, the lowest class of people. No matter how much they surrendered, they would only end up as slaves, they were still young and strong, so there was no need to worry about them being killed because of the food problem.

Reporting to General, the troops at the frontlines have sent a message, a large number of Gupta people have surrendered.

In the end, Meng Tianhu was still an Old Qin man. In order to deter the enemies, the Old Qin man's favorite method was to kill the prisoners. Meng Tianhu didn't even think as he replied without turning his head: "What are you asking for, kill them all. This daddy isn't so free to feed these beasts."

When the messenger received the order, he immediately turned around and prepared to pass the order.

"Hold on."

Meng Tianhu looked towards the source of the voice, to see that it was Eighth Legion's direct guard camp's Battalion Commander, Huan Wen. Towards this Huan Wen who had rejected her orders straight away, Meng Tianhu was not angry. Instead, they had fought side by side before, and he knew that Huan Wen had the most insidious ideas.

Huan Wen looked at the soldier, and said quietly: "Wait a moment!" Then, he walked to Meng Tianhu's side. Explain to him: 'General. The people of the Gupta are tens of times stronger than us, leaving them behind is indeed an unstable factor. If we were to kill the prisoners, how long would it take us to do so? How about we turn these captives into troops and let them take the lead to act as cannon fodder to attack the Gupta. "

"If they are not of my race, then their thoughts will definitely be different" Meng Tianhu said: "Their idea is not bad, but the people of Gupta will not have the same thoughts as us, if they counterattack, at that time, the entire army will be in danger, or they might not be able to handle it!"

Huan Wen said: "This is not the first time this type of armed captive has increased the strength of the forces of her side. Previously, during the war in the Western Region, the Northern Palace General also did it. They were formed into a single army, organized according to the battalions of the Qin Army. If one of them ran away, the entire platoon would be killed. If the other one ran away, the entire troop would be killed. This way, they would be under pressure and wouldn't dare to resist. Even if they did resist, the rest of them wouldn't follow. In addition, they could also receive heavy rewards. They would be treated as part of the military merits of Qin Army, rewarded when they were beheaded, and rewarded when they received rewards. This way, they would fight to the death. In addition, we can avoid forcing the people of Gupta onto a path of no return. If they fight to the end, we will have a lot of trouble. "

In fact, Huan Wen's excuse was that when Xie Fei was trying to settle the Western Regions, the Western Regions had a superior military force. In order to defeat the enemy, Xie Fei ordered Beigong Chun to form the active army, with the captives as the main force, and form an army to act as the death squadron. This was 20 years ago, so it was impossible for Huan Wen to know of it. However, after Xie Fei invented the printing press, he used the army's classic tactics to form characters and spread it across the entire army. Since then, although Huan Wen had never experienced the war in the Western Regions, she also understood this strategy.

Using Huan Wen's strategy, Meng Tianhu set up a single Qin Army Battalion, making the first eighteen thousand soldiers and seven thousand Gupta ships into ten Battalions, acting as the vanguard of the entire army.

From then on, Zhou Yang's tactics that he learnt from the Eighth Legion were spread throughout the entire army.

The surrendered slaves had no dignity, no property, and no freedom. However, after joining the Qin Army, although they were just cannon fodder troops, they could now own their own property, and with their own identity as citizens of the Great Qin, they could rely on their military exploits to obtain land and wealth after the war. Under this kind of reward, not only did Qin Army's Zhou Yang Tribe have extremely few casualties, they even had more and more troops. From the initial 4000 odd warships to the end of the ocean battle, even Zhou Yang was shocked, they actually had 260,000 troops and 30,000 warships. The Gupta's captives were more than twice their original strength.

Yu Le naturally did not know of Zhou Yang's actions. However, after the Gupta Navy had charged into the Thunder District and lost thousands of small warships, they did not have any intention to attack anymore. The Gupta Navy didn't need to receive orders from their commanding officer to lower their sails and break down. Stopped on the surface of the sea. Although they clearly knew that stopping meant death, they didn't want to use their bodies as a water bomb.

Just like that, the Gupta's navy in the minefield stopped, and the water army in the rear quickly turned around under the assault from Zhou Yang's army.

When the Vikramaditya found out that his navy was trapped in the Pie Point area, he was so angry that his body was trembling and he almost fell to the ground.

More and more information was quickly delivered to the Vikramaditya. The more information he received, the colder his heart was, all the information that he had received in the past ten days was grievous news, without any happy news at all, the province of Galgona had already spread the news of their separation from the Gupta Empire, a certain province of Gardibad also had ambiguous feelings towards the Qin Army. Although he did not declare his independence, he did not carry out his own orders and attacked the Qin Army.

The Vikramaditya suddenly felt that it was very funny. The Gupta Empire who originally had the advantage suddenly had a change of heart, the situation became very bad.

Vikramaditya asked Singer: "Singer, am I wrong? Was it wrong to declare war on the Qin State? "

The Singer said: "Great King, you are incomparably wise. If you do not initiate the war against the Qin State, you can imagine, they would similarly invade our Gupta Empire."

Until now, these enemies had only faced him face to face for a short period of time, and they had always been scheming and scheming. Vikramaditya had also used a strategy before. However, most of the time, they would use strategies and tactics to fight directly, and up till now, the Qin Army had always been using direct combat tactics, using traps as main battle weapons.

Vikramaditya was not convinced, he really was not willing to accept this from the bottom of his heart. He wished that he could be like a warrior and be defeated fair and square, but Qin Army did not give him the chance. He still had close to eight hundred thousand troops in the acanthopanax and the Kara Peninsula, and more than two million troops in the Gupta Empire. But now, without a warship, his army of eight hundred thousand was only able to stay in two places, unable to join the battle at all. Although he was not at the end of his wits yet, whether it was acanthopanax or Kara Peninsula, the output of these two lands could not support the consumption of his 800,000 army.

"Vikramaditya has a headache." What should I do? "

Singer was now clear-headed. He was not arrogant enough to think that he could defeat Qin State using his martial arts. He thought for a while and said, "Right now, we can only negotiate with the Qin State to buy time, and even if we have to give up the acanthopanax and Kara Peninsula, it won't be too late for us to fight with them once we gather our troops. The lost ones, the real warriors will find them with their fists! "

Vikramaditya said, "Alright, I wonder if Qin Army will give us the chance to negotiate! It must be, the situation is extremely good for them! "

Singer said, "Although the Qin Army seems to have the advantage in every aspect, but they are too far away from the Gupta Empire, so their transport of weapons and equipment is even more difficult than us. The peace talks are good for us and good for them. "

There was a saying that war was a continuation of politics and that the goals that could not be obtained by means of war could be resolved by political means, which was the war between France and China during the Qing Dynasty. Although China won the war, China lost politically. After the victory, the world's most powerful monarch could do anything that could be done by cutting the land and making reparations.

Following the dispatch of the peacemaking emissary from Vikramaditya, the war between Qin State and Gupta Empire came to a temporary end. Although the military operations on the surface had stopped, the Gupta's navy was still surrounded by the Qin Army and the Expeditionary forces. In addition, after half a year of arduous journey, with the exception of fighting, who had lost 30% of their troops, over 800 Warriors finally appeared outside the Huadian City.
