Country and Beauty

C548 End of the Gupta (5)

The Single foramina, who had the farthest range of the Qin Army array, was the first to show its might. According to the Qin Army's equipment, three to three sets of field equipment were set up. A field master with over ten thousand people could at most equip over three thousand single foramina, with a range of three hundred steps, and over three thousand crossbow arrows.

The first row of Qin soldiers s who were kneeling on the ground finished shooting their first arrows, and immediately handed the empty crossbows in their hands to the soldiers behind to fill their crossbows. Then, they received the crossbows that were ready to be shot, and aimed at the target again! The holes of three thousand people shot at the charging Gupta's cavalry with their fastest speed!

It must be said that the Gupta Empire was different from the Huns and the others. The Gupta Empire had a complete military industrial system, the long bows that they were equipped with were not any closer to the range of a single foramina, it was just that the biggest difference between crossbow and bow was that archers were too difficult to train, a qualified archer would need one to two years of training, and a crossbow archer could finish training within a month! The other thing was that the arrows required a lot of strength, even the most vigorous archers could only shoot eight or nine arrows continuously if they continuously shot hard bows like the Gupta Zhang Gong did not have the energy to continue shooting!

Even the most outstanding archer would find it difficult to hit their target. This way, the Gupta's cavalry would be in trouble, as long as they were within three hundred steps from the position of the Qin Army Army, they could be hit by the Qin Army's crossbow at any time. The further they went, the more danger they would be in, and the more corpses piled up on the ground would be injured. After a few rounds of fire, the Gupta's cavalry did not even have the chance to rush within two hundred steps of the Qin Army, let alone shoot and kill him with arrows. But within the range of two hundred to three hundred steps from the Qin Army's position, the injured soldiers and horses were scattered all over the place.

In the battle of the Korean Peninsula, Huan Wen discovered that the Cavalry soldiers were lying on horse manure, causing the wounds to be difficult to heal. Huan Wen then experimented and found that the arrows that had been soaked in horse manure only had a large increase in death rate when shot at an enemy. From then on, after entering India, especially during the battles in the acanthopanax, Huan Wen used this method to create a large number of poisonous arrows. Although the crossbow arrows soaked in horse dung were easy to rust, it was not easy to store.

It was all due to Ba Bu's misfortune, the more than fifty thousand specially crafted crossbow bolts from the Qin Army's Meng Tianhu Department had all landed on his subordinates' heads. Since the virus had an incubation period of seven to eight days, they, the wounded, had nothing to offer. When the virus broke out, they would no longer have any chance of saving it. In an age without penicillin, malaria was synonymous with death!

Gupta's cavalry's charge was fast, and his retreat speed was not slow either. He only charged for an hour in three waves, and that caused only four thousand casualties in the entire Gupta Army!

Ba Bu's heart almost shattered when he saw such heavy casualties.

However, our General Meng was in the middle of the tent reprimanding his Second Infantry Regiment Commander, Fu Feng Man Yi Gui, "Yi Gui, you disappoint me too much. Fifty thousand arrows were firing at four thousand enemies and you only shot one enemy with an average of ten crossbow bolts. Your 2nd Division's shooting level is so poor, so don't even think about passing the end of the year exam, Second Division!"

The Qin Army's year-end assessment was mainly about the overall battle strength of the assessment team. The assessment results were not only related to the promotion of officials, but also to military pay. The military pay was divided into the upper, middle, and lower ranks, and there was not a single person who did not care about the general and the soldiers in the assessment. At that time, Yi Gui's face turned green and his eyes turned red.

Yi Gui was full of grievance, but he did not dare retort. He said generously, "General Meng, don't worry. I will go back and give those bastards the order. From now on, they will be killed at most five arrows.

Here, the Great General Meng was not satisfied with Qin Army's battle achievements, but Ba Bu was in so much pain that he wished for death. In just an hour, more than half of the troops were dead or injured. The majority of the soldiers under his command had their guts destroyed by Qin Army's sharp crossbow formation.

In fact, the pressure on the Qin Army was not small when she was facing the charge of the Gupta Army. Due to the power of the longbow and the long range range range of the bow, the Qin Army had suffered heavy casualties, with more than five hundred dead and injured. More than a hundred people had died instantly, which was the largest number of casualties since entering Rajmer.

Ba Bu said: "Warriors of the Gupta, for the sake of our Gupta Empire, for the sake of Buddha, for the sake of spreading the Dharma throughout the world, warriors of the Gupta, charge! As long as anyone dares to charge into the midst of a heretic's formation, Lord Buddha will challenge them to become their personal disciple. Moreover, the valiant soldiers that die in battle will be allowed to transcend and enter the realm of bliss to enjoy wealth! "

Not to mention, the ordinary soldiers who were poisoned by the Hindu and Brahmans, believed in this empty promise. Ba Bu did not bestow any official wish, nor did he reward any gold and silver, but these resolute Buddhist followers once again exploded their tenacious fighting capabilities, shouting out strange slogans, waving their horses and sabers, some even brandishing their longbows and charging forward with all their might!

These fearless and reckless Gupta's cavalry warriors, they were truly unfortunate, and deserved their doom. Although they did not receive the fueled arrows, after entering the 200 step range, the Qin Army's standard double foramina s also began to show their might, although the range of these double foramina s was closer than that of the Single foramina s, the strength was not small, and with every shot, they would shoot two crossbows, and with the same number of people, the fire attack density was two times stronger than the Single foramina's.

In addition to the single foramina's shooting, within two hundred steps, the attack density was actually three times greater than before.

With this, the charging Gupta's cavalry became even more miserable, crossbow arrows rained down like rain, countless Gupta's cavalry screamed and fell to the ground, then were stomped into meat paste by the cavalrymen behind. Seeing the precious cavalry soldiers being sliced like wheat by Qin Army, being swept down to the ground piece by piece, Ba Bu's eyes widened to the point of bursting. He almost went crazy and waved his blade, crazily roaring, "Charge! Charge! "Charge forward and shoot your arrows!"

In terms of fighting strength and courage alone, these soldiers who were poisoned by religious ideas were like demons. They knew that going forward to fight was death, but they still charged forward as they always did. Even if they were shot by arrows or even if they died without a complete corpse, they were willing to give up their lives for a promise without any reality. Under the attacks of the Qin Army, single foramina, double foramina, and Zhuge Liuyun, no matter what formation the Gupta Army took, all of them would end up the same. Countless Gupta's cavalry were like wheat that was knocked down, falling down in groups.

Especially after entering the range of attack from the Qin Army, this kind of machine gun, which could be called an ancient Age of Cold Weapons, with twenty shots of this powerful crossbow, could instantly sweep away the last few cavalrymen. Do not underestimate the crossbow that was less than three feet and was only two feet and eight inches long, this kind of short and small crossbow arrow, not only was it fast, it also had astonishing killing power.

Each crossbow had 140 arrows, but in just a short span of half an hour, almost all of the Zhuge Clan's crossbow had already shot out their crossbows. Maybe the heavens did not care about this one-sided slaughter. Gupta's cavalry who was in the middle of charging suddenly realized that the concentrated crossbow bolts that posed the most danger to them had suddenly stopped.

Ba Bu suddenly shouted, "Buddha bless me! Qin Manzi doesn't have any more crossbow bolts, quickly charge forward and snatch their crossbow."

However, at this time, as the crossbow arrow of the crossbow sounded out, the Qin Army soldiers finally had no choice but to enter melee combat.

Quickly putting away their crossbows, the Qin Army Infantry soldiers who entered the melee battle did not form a dense mass of Formation just like the other armies. On the contrary, their formation seemed to be extremely chaotic, without any pattern.

Ba Bu was overjoyed, "Quickly rush up and kill these Qin Manzi men!"

The cavalry fighting against the Qin Army in this chaotic formation was the perfect time to massacre them. But what surprised Ba Bu the most was that the situation of the close combat was the exact opposite of what he had expected!

When they entered the final fifty steps of the cavalry charge, Gupta's cavalry kept his bow and raised his machete high up. Usually, they were all in the same group as the other three, and their bodies were so heavy that they would have to bear the burden of Gupta's cavalry's Lightning Strike. Then, the two cooperating infantry would seize the opportunity to slash down on the horses' legs and upper bodies.

In a single exchange, a small battle formation made up of three soldiers easily took care of one rider, followed by this kind of analogy.

What surprised Ba Bu even more was that the Qin soldiers s did not fear death at all. Even if they were unlucky enough to be knocked away by the warhorses, the injured Qin soldiers s would have to pull on someone to support them. There was one Qin Army soldier who fell on the ground who did not have enough time to retreat, nor did she have the time to dodge.

What's more, the Qin soldiers s who were being scattered by the Gupta's cavalry all shouted, "Long live the Great Qin, long live the Emperor!" It directly ignited the Heaven Bombing grenade on its body!

Ba Bu looked at the people behind him as if he had seen a ghost.

The most unbelievable part was that the battle had gradually reached its conclusion, shocking Ba Bu so much that his jaw almost fell off. Out of his ten-thousand cavalrymen, only about five hundred were left, the rest had either died or were injured.

Looking back at Qin soldiers, the ten thousand man formation seemed to have decreased a lot. In fact, the number of casualties in Qin Army was not small, more than two thousand. Among them, only eight hundred people died in battle.

Just at this time, the Qin Army that had regrouped into a neat formation once again began to walk towards the Gupta's cavalry in an orderly manner.

The sound of footsteps was like a hammer smashing into Ba Bu's heart.

"Retreat!"

Ba Bu was scared out of his wits, he immediately turned his horse around and ran towards Vikramaditya to report.

However, after being tormented for an entire night, the Vikramaditya, whose beard was about to turn white from the pain, finally received news from him that he was testing the strength of the two Qin Army's cannon fodder troops. The ten thousand riders of Songda Class had died over eight thousand times. They had only returned eighteen hundred or so to test the strength of Rajmael, but only five hundred of them had returned. Right now, the Vikramaditya did not know whether it was true or false on both sides. Helpless, he could only ask Meta, "Meta, which side do you think is false, and which side is real?"

They all looked at him with a hint of ridicule in their eyes, but they had no choice but to reply honestly, "Reporting to Great King, according to the battle report on the front lines, I am also unable to make an accurate judgement! However, we can be sure that Qin Army has made her preparations, according to Qin Army's habit, they would basically take up defense in the cities of the Eternal River Plains. We don't have any food or supplies, nor do we have any siege equipment, so our strategy of attacking the Eternal River Plains has already lost its chance.

Vikramaditya also knew that he had lost the chance to attack. If not for this flood, they would have been able to obtain supplies for the Eternal River Plains even if the road was even more difficult. The Vikramaditya sighed, and said without holding any hope: "Mei Ta.

Give the order to the generals of the various clans, we will all return to the Huadian City and make plans! "

Just then, the dejected Ba Bu suddenly spoke with a cold tone: "Great King, the truth is not that bad. Do we Gupta Empire still have the chance to enter the Eternal River Plains?"

"What chance?" The Vikramaditya asked, "The Qin Army is already in formation. No matter which route we take to enter the Eternal River Plains, our army will not be able to avoid heavy casualties. Even if we can force our way through, what will we have to attack the cities of the Eternal River Plains?"

Ba Bu said: "Actually it's not difficult. Qin Army's defense line at Rajmer, from your subordinate's point of view, it should be empty!"

A stone thrown into a thousand ripples, in the tent, all the generals of Gupta began to war with their mouths against the defeated Ba Bu.

"What an emptiness, to think that it could actually make General Ba Bu's huge army of 10,000 unable to return!"

"This emptiness has broadened my horizons!"
