Country and Beauty

C552 Doomsday for Gupta (9)

The wind blows, the water is cold, the brave men go, but never come back! Ran Min did not plan to live on his own, the five thousand odd soldiers of the Trouble Soldiers held onto the thought of certain death! There was even less of a need to talk about Ran Min. He was the son of Ran Zhan, and was adopted by him since he was young. Although he was not Xie Fei's son, he was still a noble. However, in Ran Min's heart, there were too many things. Spirit, conviction, responsibility, and integrity.

Xie Fei repaid the debt of gratitude that Xie Fei owed to him with his life. As for Ran Min, he owed Xie Fei far too much.

The Trouble Soldiers warriors that followed Ran Min were originally just the slaves of the tribe leaders, but now that they had left their slaves, every one of them even had a considerable amount of wealth. Their children and grandchildren were no longer needed to serve as servants or maids. The people of these Southwest Ethnic Groups would have to truly integrate into this large family of the Han people until the Tang Dynasty. Xie Fei had treated them like the common Chinese people, and had never sided with them even a little. They now had their own property, land, and independent authority, and could be taught and read like the ordinary Chinese.

Everything that they had was given to them by Xie Fei. Although these magnanimous men of minority clans were not as loyal, filial, and benevolent as the Han people, they still knew who was nice to them. Xie Fei's enemies were the targets that they were determined to eliminate.

Ran Min raised the blade in his hand high up. At this time, Ran Min was like the ten great warlords in the history of China, emitting a domineering aura. Ran Min said: "Soldiers, maybe tomorrow will be the day of our sacrifice, maybe after the battle, we won't be able to survive, but, for the Great Qin, for your majesty, we have to die, no matter what!"

"Kill!" A dense killing intent quickly filled the air, the Trouble Soldiers soldier's eyes turned red, like a ferocious tiger, he rushed towards Gupta's camp!

A group of Gupta sentries shouted until they swayed left and right. It was not that the Gupta Army was completely defenseless, but their focus was still facing off against Qin Army. It couldn't be said that the Gupta Army wasn't cautious at all. At the very least, they placed their patrolling sentries in front of the Qin Army's formations 50 miles away. Within the range of 50 miles, there were at least a hundred riders watching the movements of the Qin Army closely.

However, because of the hoodlum tactics that Ba Bu had used, they were finally able to restrain the crossbow formation of the Qin Army, allowing these Gupta's cavalry s to gain confidence that they have not seen this for a long time. They felt that with this tactic, they would be able to eliminate the Qin Army in one go.

Under this kind of atmosphere, the defenses of the camp in the rear of Gupta Army was extremely relaxed. Other than the faint sentries, the entire camp was as quiet as a grave!

Suddenly, a group of people appeared in front of him. These people were wearing tattered clothes, and their footsteps were shaky, but their fighting spirit was incomparably high!

"Who is that?" A Gupta sentry asked in confusion. At this moment, he had actually forgotten his responsibilities. He did not even give out any warning!

"Maybe it's those hungry slaves. These slaves actually begged for food to come here. They are simply courting death!" Let's go and expel these slaves! "

Compared to the Qin Army, the Gupta Army's fighting strength was lower. However, compared to the rebel slaves who were poorly equipped and had no way to train, they were like a group of fiends. Even a mere Gupta Sai Na's cavalry could slaughter tens of thousands of rebel slaves to the point where there was no path to heaven and no door to hell. It was customary to harm people, and this was the truth. The sentries did not warn them of the thousands of rioting slaves, and instead, they rode their horses and charged forward!

However, just as the hundred odd cavalrymen entered the two hundred foot radius of Ran Min's camp, they were met with a rain of arrows. The unique equipment of Trouble Soldiers, the brachial arch that was invented during the Song Dynasty, was like a huge dead net that enveloped the hundred odd cavalrymen!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Miserable screams filled the night sky. After waking up Gupta's cavalry from his sleep, the riders in the tent looked at each other and asked, "What happened?"

Some of the Gupta's soldiers left the tent bare-chested, but what welcomed them were waves of cold light.

"Kill!" Ran Min was like a nimble leopard, he brandished his blade and his head shot up to the sky. When the warning was sent out, the Gupta camp immediately panicked, all of the Trouble Soldiers soldiers kept quiet, they were too tired to even say a word, they were all focused on the blade in their hands, their blades like wind, their spears like swimming dragons, blade lights flowing, their heads rolling, their spears piercing through, sealing their throats by blood!

The one guarding the back of the camp was Plytner, who was led by Ba Bu. Tomorrow, they would have to take on the responsibility of attacking again. In order to let them save enough energy, these soldiers would have to eat and drink. Ba Bu heard the sound of miserable screams coming from the left camp, he quickly rushed out of the tent as though he was being wrapped by a strong wind, his hand was still holding onto the treasured sword, he shouted fiercely: "What happened?"

"It might be the Qin Army's Night Assault!"

Ba Bu sneered: "The Qin Army barbarians are just over ten thousand troops, using Rajmer is narrow and inconvenient, the cavalry army might be able to hold on for a few days, but my Gupta army's camp is empty everywhere, which is extremely advantageous for the cavalry, even if we manage to sneak an attack, how could their troops shake my Gupta company?"

Just as Ba Bu was saying that, flames soared up from the left camp's direction, Ba Bu's face immediately changed, just at that moment, the ground started to shake more and more. He shouted, "The left battalion must not panic. Take care to stay in your own camp and identify the enemy, lest they take advantage of the enemy."

But since the Trouble Soldiers who was familiar with special operations had started it, how could it allow the Gupta Army to easily stabilize her position?

It could be said that the Gupta's cavalry was not like the ordinary nomadic peoples cavalry, where people and horses slept together, but instead the Gupta's cavalry was formed according to the rules. Every cavalry was arranged into a small camp, all the war horses were centrally fed with slaves, and the more than five hundred war horses were tied up in a makeshift stable made out of rough wood. The concentrated number of war horses benefited the Qin Army and the Second Battalion of Qin Army, the Fifth Division of the Qin Army's Overseas Legion, who were in charge of disrupting the enemy's camp. They came to the stable and killed the slaves who fed the horses. Then, they divided the horses into ten districts and tied them together with a set of reins, forming a serial horse. After that, they poured oil on the horses' tails and ignited them.

The outer Gupta Army had also set up some trenches, warhorses, and thorns, but the inside of the trenches were completely flat and unobstructed.

The Trouble Soldiers's 1st and 2nd Battalion who had succeeded in their sneak attack, specialized in rushing towards the horse shed. They would snatch the horses, form the serial horse formation, and then set fire to the tents, fodder, and food of the Gupta Army. Of course, he also killed those panicking Gupta Army soldiers along the way!

It was usually because a soldier had nightmares, or was suspicious, and when he saw a shadow beast he thought the enemy had attacked the camp and caused chaos. Once this chaos occurred in the camp at night, panic would quickly spread throughout the entire camp. The soldiers couldn't control the general, and would start killing each other. Even if it was an army with strict discipline, once there was a howl, the consequences would be terrible. In the modern army, this was an almost unimaginable matter. However, under the difficult and arduous conditions of war in ancient times, this kind of thing that made people feel that it was impossible to imagine was not surprising at all. Therefore, the military was very strict with the soldiers. The general made a prompt decision and killed dozens of soldiers in order to control the situation.

Seeing that the commotion in the left camp was getting louder and louder, and the sounds of fighting and shouting were shaking the sky, but there were only Sanskrit, so Ba Bu's first reaction was to hear the sound of a siren. He immediately ordered the newly gathered soldiers to form a rectangular formation, with the shield soldiers in front and the long bowmen at the forefront.

Hundreds of soldiers were shot by the Gupta's longbow and had heavy casualties. When the surviving Gupta soldiers saw that Ba Bu actually ordered them to be shot, they all turned around and shouted at the other soldiers, "Ba Bu is on his side, Ba Bu is on his side, Ba Bu is on his own, quickly kill Ba Bu and protect the King!"

Furthermore, Ba Bu had found a way to break through the Qin Army's Crossbow Array. In fact, the Qin Army's Crossbow Array had given the Gupta Army a headache, how could this be possible, the crossbow array's range was longer than the longbow's, its speed was faster, and its power was greater, no matter how many people there were, they would still die. Now that Ba Bu said the opposite, these intelligent generals all of them suddenly thought that it was no wonder that Ba Bu could find a way to break through the Qin Army's Crossbow Array.

The pitiful Ba Bu Army soldiers heard that their general had pledged allegiance to the Qin Army and became the king of the Southern Indies. All of their soldiers had been promoted to become rich, and now that Ba Bu had fallen, could they also become rich too?

This kind of confused attitude still made the loyal Ba Bu Army soldiers wave their weapons and fight with the surrounding Gupta Army s.

Ran Min who was desperately fighting suddenly froze: "What's going on, why are the Gupta people fighting themselves?"

Ran Min couldn't figure out what was going on even when he tried to think it through. Ran Min made the decision to kill each other and let them go, he took the lead and rushed towards the camp that was not affected.

More and more tents were set ablaze. More and more war horses formed the serial horse Formation and rushed towards the Gupta Army soldiers that were preparing to fight. In the end, the fire horse formation easily scattered the newly formed Formation. The Gupta camp that was dozens of miles long, was filled with flames that shot into the sky.

Ran Min sent out many elite soldiers to grab onto their tongues, asking where the central army of the Vikramaditya was.

Ran Min was too fierce. After five years of painstaking training by the Northwest Blade King, Ran Min's blade technique was considered one of the best among all the generals in Qin Army.

The Vikramaditya Royal Tent was surrounded by five thousand King's Guards, making it the quietest place in the entire Gupta Army Camp. The five thousand soldiers of the King's Guard surrounded the big tent in front of the Vikramaditya.

"No one is allowed to go forward. Violators are to be killed!"

Ran Min panted as he pointed at the big tent on the Vikramaditya and asked, "What bird language are they talking about?!"

The man in Chinese immediately translated the warning for the King's Guards, Ran Min spat out a mouthful of blood and said indifferently: "Trouble Soldiers, follow me to break the array!"

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!" Ran Min shot out all his remaining brachial arch.
