Country and Beauty

The Qin Army, together with the South India Army of Independence and the Battlefield of Death, had surrounded Benares. When the Vikramaditya had urgently mobilized all of his manoeuvres to support Benares, everyone's eyes were focused on the holy city of the Gupta Empire. At this time, Huadian City, who was three hundred miles away from Benares, did not have the nervous atmosphere like before the big battle. At this moment, everything was the same as before, the Huadian City was still singing, dancing and drinking according to the song.

Compared to the Huadian City, the great battle was very far away. At this time, besides increasing the patrolling strength, Huadian City did not close the city gates nor did she impose a curfew. At this time, at a checkpoint ten kilometers north of Huadian City, there was a small unit of a Gupta Army. It had a chariot, three battle elephant s, three cavalry, and five infantry soldiers.

In the Gupta Empire army, other than Senna, only the nobles held positions as battalions' equivalent, and Potti was held by Vedic, who was born of a free people.

One of the soldiers holding a spear said to another guard, "I heard that there was a big commotion in the south. A lot of people died. There were rebel soldiers in many of the provinces."

A soldier who answered said, "Isn't that so? I heard that the entire village was massacred and their property stolen. "

Another soldier showed an expression of yearning and said in a low voice, "Did you know that the Indian Army in the south is given food and land as long as they participate? "He's much stronger than us!"

Furthermore, they also had to prepare their own food for training. Other than receiving food as compensation for fighting, they had to prepare their own personal equipment, weapons were their own, armor was also their own, if they had money they could buy them, or if they were rewarded with military exploits.

If the commoners wanted to be promoted, there was no other way than to do so through military exploits. That was why the Gupta Empire could sweep across the entire Indian subcontinent in a short span of a few decades. Including today, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and most of Indonesia's territory were all part of the Gupta Empire's territory, and they did not rely on the Vikramaditya's wise and mighty abilities. Instead, the Gupta hoped to improve their living conditions through war. Thus, they were able to obtain more land and wealth through constant war.

The war of aggression for external expansion could never be waged by a single person or a group. It was a combination of the premise that a majority of the people in a country would benefit from it. It was laughable for some people in the country to attribute the Japanese invasion of China to the arbitrary actions of the military forces, as it had nothing to do with the Japanese people.

If they did not expand, it was possible for you to reach the position of a county magistrate and not get promoted. However, from a small zhuangzhuo country, to the point where the territory is becoming larger and larger, it is possible for those civil officials who followed Xie Fei to become larger and larger, and they were able to reach the position of a county taiwai in less than a year, and even more so, in just a few short years, they were promoted from the seventh grade to the Stone Region. Furthermore, a military general was the only way to get rich. As for the traditional clans, they had turned Xie Fei into a group of interests. He was not allowed to own land and privileges in the Qin State, but he was not restricted when he was in overseas territories. As for the ordinary citizens, they could obtain even more cheap means of livelihood and wealth through war. That was why the Qin State had formed a huge interest group that could expand by force and benefit the entire nation.

Historically, China had always opposed expansion, mainly because civil officials were afraid that military officers would ride on their heads, because once a war was over, they had to promote their military officers, causing them to lose their power and prestige, which was the last thing any Confucian official wanted to see, so using literature to suppress a martial artist, this was a conservative strategy adopted by the emperor in order to achieve balance. However, Xie Fei had changed this tradition and continued to advocate for the benefits of war, using war to nurture war, to achieve the goal of becoming rich and powerful. There are countless countries and peoples that rely on war to prosper, and the modern United States is a country that typically relies on war to prosper. So the United States can form a national common interest.

The other soldiers nodded in agreement. At this moment, the concept of a country was very vague. What they were loyal to was only the monarch's family name.

Another soldier suddenly said, "If the Indian army were to attack, would you surrender?"

Saying that would probably be a serious crime in China, but not in Gupta Empire. Regarding words, the Gupta Empire was much more civilized. As long as there was no substantial rebellion, they would not be punished.

Potti suddenly said, "Do you want to betray Buddha?"

"I don't dare to betray Lord Buddha, but I don't dare to disobey Hanuman either!"

Everyone was silent. Buddha was an untouchable existence, but Hanuman was a god of war. Hanuman was not only well-known in India, but he was also their greatest hero.

As a result, violent collisions began to take place deep within their hearts.

Faithful to the Buddha, or to Hanuman? They were all at a loss, although in the private conversations of this little Potti, their little Potti group was at a loss of what to do, and many of the Gupta people were also at a loss.

In the midst of this confusion, a caravan of about seven to eight hundred people slowly approached from the distance. In addition to the 300 armed guards, this caravan also had dozens of ox-carts filled with goods.

This sentry post did not raise any suspicions, because in this era, the speed of a caravan was limited, it would take a few months for a caravan to travel fast, and a few years to travel slow. The war in the Gupta Empire was only a few months old, so the caravan probably did not expect a war to happen in the Gupta Empire at all. After the customary negotiation, the caravan continued towards the Huadian City.

The appearance and features of the members of this caravan weren't like those of the Gupta, in fact, they were disguised by the Blood Blade Camp, Zhang Zian and Wang Huai had led the Blood Blade Camp through countless of hardships, and finally reached the outskirts of the Huadian City after crossing the Himalayas, but they had lost a large number of people. Originally, Zhang Jiai had wanted to disperse the troops and infiltrate the Huadian City, but later on, he found out that the control over the Huadian City was not as strict as he thought, and regarding the caravans, it was only a check, as long as they paid a certain amount of money, they could easily pass through.

Coincidentally, at this time, a caravan from the northern part of the country by the karma karma, the old capital of the ancient northern Indian state of Zhuanluo. It was known as the Pagoda city. Located in the northeast of Broussard City, now the city of Peshawar. Zhang Jia ordered the Blood Blade Camp to ambush this caravan. With the Blood Blade Camp's fighting strength, they, more than eight hundred people, could easily defeat the regular army of the Gupta which was at least ten times stronger than normal. The Gupta Empire was also a multi-racial country, with more than a hundred races. The difference in language and appearance was obvious, they could easily pass through the Gupta Army and easily enter the city while disguising themselves.

Of course, at this moment, no one noticed that the Qin Army had secretly inserted a nail into the Huadian City, and all of their gazes were focused on Benares.

Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Benares' battle finally began. The Qin Army used all the cannons of the Expeditionary forces, a total of 1200 cannons, a total of more than 1000 wutong tank s, to attack the walls of Benares.

Under the destructive attack of the cannons, the solid walls of Benares were destroyed in many places without even half a day's worth of bombardment.

As long as the walls were destroyed, the battle against Benares would not be a problem for the Qin Army. Benares only left behind 50,000 troops to prevent the Gupta from playing a trick on them. As a result, a large number of cannons and crossbows were quickly transferred to the ambush point, with the main target of the Qin Army being the annihilation of the Gupta Army.

As the holy land of the Gupta Empire's Brahma Sect, if the Qin Army attacked Benares, it might cause the entire population of the Gupta to resist, so Xie Fei decided that the matter regarding the Gupta should be resolved by the people of the Gupta.

The South Indian Independence Army and the Battlefield are the main offensive forces of the siege force of 420,000. This massive and intense battle proceeded intensely. Both sides were of the same race, and for the sake of their different beliefs, they had engaged in a bloody confrontation. As the holy city of Brahmin, the Gupta's defenders naturally did not dare not to not fight to the death. Furthermore, the invaders, under the influence of the huge amount of land and wealth, were also attacking with all their might.

Both sides refused to give up until their goal was achieved, so this battle was quite intense. It could be said that they were crying like ghosts and gods.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield was like two bulls fighting each other. Whoever could last until the end would obtain victory. However, if the situation continued like this, Gupta Army, whose military strength was at an absolute disadvantage, would not be able to obtain the final victory.

Under the barrage of the Qin Army's cannons, the casualties of the Gupta Army were extremely heavy, the two hundred thousand soldiers had at least suffered eighty to ninety thousand casualties in the half-day artillery barrage. At the moment, the Gupta Army still had one hundred and ten thousand soldiers, and the attacking army had a total of four hundred and twenty thousand soldiers, which made the difference even more obvious.

Although the battle in the Gupta Army was tenacious, due to the many collapses of the city walls, the Gupta Army had no choice but to use human lives to fill the gap. On the other hand, the South Indian Independence Army and the Battlefield of Certain Death had been "attacked" earlier.

Benares City, where the entire army could plunder and plunder in Benares for three days. To this order that could make slaves go crazy, the South Indian Independence Army and the Battlefield of Certain Death were fighting with their lives at stake.

At this moment, human lives had become worthless. Thousands of people had died on both sides during the battle in the city of Benares, but the battle was still as fierce as ever. Both sides had turned red from the battle, and neither side was willing to give in. "Whoever rushed into the city would be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins and promoted to the position of Sha Di Li," said one of the soldiers from the South India Independent Army, Sena.

In the Gupta Empire, Sha Di Li was a military aristocrat and administrative aristocrat. They have the privilege of levying all kinds of taxes. Similar to the ancient Chinese families, this promotion was more attractive than any other promotion.

Gupta Army, who was in danger originally, was now in great danger.

Finally, at the end of the day, the Southern Indian Army and the Battlefield of Certain Death had lost tens of thousands of people. At this time, the generals who had trained with the Independent Army started killing even more crazily.

Just as both sides were fighting fiercely, a special force from the Gupta Army arrived. They did not have any armor, and their weapons were simple and crude. Some of them even had wooden sticks, which made them the special army of the Gupta Army — — the City Protector Army of Nales.

The soldiers from both sides, who had already killed Red Eye, did not pay attention to the soldiers of the Protector Army who were coming from behind. They were still fighting.

When night officially arrived, the Gupta's garrison finally managed to stabilize their position after being replenished with their own strength. They temporarily guarded the inner city and a portion of the city's walls.

At this time, the South India Independent Army saw that the morale had been demoralized, so it was useless to fight again. They could only rest and choose a time to fight again.

After a day of bloody battles, a total of a hundred thousand people died on both sides of the wall. Of course, the Gupta Army's losses were even more severe, and they could only blame it on their lack of experience in defending against cannons. Right now, the Gupta Army's two hundred thousand strong army was more than two-thirds dead, so logically speaking, the defending army was no longer able to fight, but the army of more than one thousand five hundred temples' believers and their escorts, was able to make up for the lack of guarding power, and the South India independent army had also lost close to thirty thousand people. In contrast, however, the Indo-South Indian Independence Army still held an absolute advantage in numbers.

Benares was guarding Puttoro. Gupta, not only was he a noble Sha Dianli noble, he was also a Royal family of Gupta Empire. He was the eleventh son of Scar Gupta I, the younger brother of the Vikramaditya's half sister and half brother. After checking the casualties, he was deeply afraid. In just a single day of fighting, he had lost 130,000 troops. This was truly unprecedented! From this, it could be seen just how tragic this battle was!

He firmly believed that he could persevere and hold on to his faith, but at this moment, he was shaken. Unable to sit still any longer, he could only take out his pen and write a letter to Vikramaditya for help.

Just like the battle in Benares City, the current situation was not looking good for the Gupta Empire. The newly appointed King of South India fully demonstrated his political wisdom by sending envoys to almost every province that could speak, and by promising to share and divide the world equally and equally, he made more than thirty sub-monarchs in one fell swoop. At that moment, the various governors of the Gupta Empire were either moved, opposed or watching from the sidelines. When the Vikramaditya received Jia Lituo's diplomatic action, he was so happy that he started to distrust the other ministers who were convinced.

With regards to Jia Lituo randomly opening empty cheques, Xie Fei was not as relaxed as the others. On the contrary, he was very wary of this Jia Lituo who was acting according to the rules. Xie Fei only knew one thing about Liu Bang, he really liked to write empty checks, that way he would have a lot of followers.

However, Xie Fei had gained seventeen hundred years of experience, and currently, he did not have any strict control over Jia Lituo. Xie Fei then sent people to the two rivers of the Arabian to look for something called the Aphrod. In fact, this thing was the famous opium in the future generations. Even the most strong-willed man became a complete captive before the opium. This was the present Xie Fei had prepared for him!
