Chapter 536: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well (First Update)
"General, these so-called Seleucid soldiers in the mouth of the Great Qin Emperor are really capable of fighting well, if they encounter the combined forces of my Xiongnu and Great Qin on flat land, the outcome is unpredictable!"
When the sun rose, the dragon, whose face was already covered with blood, said to Peng Yue, who was also like a bloody man beside him.
Indeed, the difficulty of this battle was much more difficult than they imagined, and what they thought would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables turned out to be almost the most stubborn resistance from beginning to end.
The price paid by the coalition of the two in this battle was still very painful, more than 5,000 people lost their lives in this battle, but under the leadership of the two of them, the general who wanted to make a miraculous feat was personally beheaded by Long He and the horse, and after the general hung up, plus their physical strength was not as good as that of the army under Peng Yue and Long He after more than two hours of rapid march, this led to a rout.
In the end, the two killed the main general of the enemy army, annihilated more than 10,000 enemy troops, and captured a lot of war horses, which ended the battle.
For the loss of so many men and horses, Peng Yue's face did not have the expression that he should have to win the battle, the strength of the enemy exceeded their expectations, bringing more than the result of this battle, if there may be a protracted war on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty in the future, no matter whether Great Qin wins in the end or not, if you want to gnaw such a hard bone, a certain amount of damage will definitely not be able to escape.
"The outcome is unpredictable, but it is true, but compared with the caution of my Great Qin and the Huns, they must have underestimated me and waited, if you use the words of the king, these people are the frogs at the bottom of the well, and we naturally want to let them see what it means to be outside the sky in the future battle!"
Peng Yue's words made Long He very useful, although many words in Peng Yue's mouth were something he had never heard of, but he still understood the meaning expressed in them very well. That is the shock they caused to the enemy this time, it must be greater than the shock caused by the enemy, in fact, these words were all learned by Peng Yue when he usually listened to Yinggao, and Long didn't know what was going on, so it was understandable.
The two of them knew that some of the enemy troops who had escaped would definitely inform the other people of the news as soon as possible, and such an attack was enough to slow down their pace of attacking the city and buy more time for Great Qin and the Xiongnu.
Originally, the idea of the two of them was that if the enemy really did something, then the two of them could get a little more men and horses, and they could do it all the way, but now it is obviously not the case, it is so hard to do it all the way, and after winning this way, the other generals are alert, and they have no advantage in troops, so they can only return to Fahrenheit City, which is very well guarded, to think about it in the long run.
After a little discussion, the two buried the bodies of the dead soldiers on their side, and took the captured war horses back to Fahrenheit City.
Although the loss was a little bigger, but the battle between the two was still of great significance, as soon as they returned to Hua's city, Peng Yue hurriedly wrote a letter, informing Yinggao of all the enemy's situation.
Although this time the troops were not assigned by Yinggao, Peng Yue was still very able to handle things, he felt that if the enemy had this combat quality, they should increase their troops to the Peacock Dynasty faster, otherwise once some of the cities with a large scale and good foundation fell into the hands of the enemy, and then give them time to deploy in those cities, it would be very difficult for Daqin to take these cities back in the future.
Peng Yue and Long He were quite well prepared, but when the Seleuc people fled back and told the person in charge of the army about this, the guy's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
"Are you sure that the enemy you encountered is not the defenders of the Mauryan Empire, but the aliens who have occupied the Mauryan Empire?"
Hearing that his entire army was directly wiped out by others, and even the generals under his command were killed, the main generals of these armies were angry enough, but until this time, he still didn't believe that this was done by those aliens who occupied Hua's City, and he even preferred to believe that it was done by some of the remaining generals in the Mauryan Dynasty.
"It's true that they are not from the Peacock Dynasty, although it was late at night when they were attacked, and these people were wearing the clothes of the people of the Peacock Dynasty in order to hide their eyes, but the weapons used by these people, as well as the language they spoke with each other, were really alien races that they had never seen before, although their faces were not very real, but they were also quite different from the faces of the people of the Peacock Dynasty, it was the people of the foreign race!"
Hearing such exact words, the general was silent, he knew that the thing he least wanted to see might have happened, although he tried his best to tell Antiochus III about the many advantages of conquering the Mauryan Dynasty, but that was indeed the true idea in his heart, not that he had any other purpose, and the previous series of circumstances have also confirmed that the current Peacock Dynasty is indeed a place of three things.
But now, it's clear that things are not as simple as they thought they would be. Judging from this clean and neat sneak attack, the actions of their five-way army must have been completely controlled by others, and they are not afraid of their Seleucid name, but they just think that there is no good opportunity.
"In this battle, how many men did the other side dispatch? Is there a loss? ”
"The opponent's men and horses are inferior to our army, at most 10,000 people, and our army should also inflict thousands of losses on it......"
After listening to this description, the general's brows furrowed even tighter, this is obviously not something worth bragging about, it can only show that people have almost wiped out you with only half of your men, and the strength of others is definitely not below you.
In the history of the Seleucid Dynasty's wars, such aggrieved defeats are actually rare, and after thinking about it for a while, this general hurriedly passed the news to the generals of several other armies, and temporarily stopped moving forward to continue the attack, but temporarily held his own city to prevent it from being attacked by the enemy.
At the same time, he also thought it necessary to report the matter to Antiochus III in such a situation.
When Antiochus III received the letter from his generals, he really regretted that he had sent 100,000 cavalry to attack the Mauryan Dynasty, he didn't expect that the aliens who occupied the Mauryan Dynasty would not be afraid of him at all, nor did he expect that the other party's warriors might be more powerful than those battle-hardened warriors in his own dynasty.
Now there are two roads in front of him, one is to take it when he sees it, and withdraw with the things seized in the cities of the Mauryan Dynasty, and it will be over if he guards his own territory, and the other is to occupy the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty that has been attacked, because after all, it was not taken down by Daqin and the Xiongnu, it belongs to his own hard work from the hands of the people of the Mauryan Dynasty, and it stands to reason that there is no need to be soft on Daqin and the Xiongnu. What's more, he didn't know what kind of dynasty it was.
Antiochus III proclaimed himself the Emperor, and in the history of the Seleucus Dynasty, he was a very strong guy, and he really didn't do much to obey the soft, and after a struggle in his head, he secretly made up his mind, that is, I will not attack anymore, but now I have taken the place, I'm sorry, you must not go back, if you can talk to the aliens who occupied Fahrenheit City at that time, it will be over if you sign a peace agreement with the Mauryan Dynasty like before.
Antiochus III thinks that if he does this, he has already shown great sincerity, after all, it is very reasonable for him to do this, if you don't come to occupy it, won't I be allowed to occupy it?
But Antiochus III obviously didn't know how big Daqin was, nor did he understand Yinggao's character, and even Meng Tian's character who was rushing to the Mauryan Dynasty, he didn't know and couldn't think of it.
When Peng Yue's letter was delivered to the Western Regions, Meng Tian had already arrived with Fusu, and was reminiscing about the old days in the city that Fusu had just completed near the gate.
Although Meng Tian was very anxious to go to the Mauryan Dynasty, there was one point, the 100,000 troops he led had gone through a series of rapid marches in the Western Regions, and he needed some rest when he arrived here, after all, he didn't know what the war on the Peacock Dynasty's side was like, in case the enemy had already attacked under the city gate in Hua's city, it was very possible.
In addition, Meng Tian has always been a hardcore supporter of Fusu before, before Yinggao was born, Meng Tian has always hoped that Fusu can become the one who Emperor Daqin, and when the initial emperor sent Fusu to Shangjun, Fusu's mentality has almost collapsed, in this process, Meng Tian has been acting as Fusu's mentor, although after Fusu arrived in Nanhai County and failed to see each other for several years, but the relationship between the two is definitely not something that ordinary people can shake.
Knowing that Yinggao took the initiative to send Meng Tian over for the war in the Peacock Dynasty, Fusu knew that this time Meng Tian should be stationed in the Mauryan Dynasty for a long time, and he told Meng Tian everything about how Yinggao wanted to develop in the Western Regions, obviously, this was very helpful to Meng Tian in the war in the Peacock Dynasty.
This night, Meng Tian and Fusu were having a rare drink together, and after three rounds of drinking, suddenly the guards outside the door came to report, only saying that there was an urgent military situation from the Mauryan Dynasty and that Yinggao needed to be informed.
According to Yinggao's requirements, all anxious things are sent to the Western Regions by the Mauryan Dynasty, and after arriving in the Western Regions, Fusu is in charge, and Fusu has the right to check some letters, which is enough to see Yinggao's trust in his brother.
This time, when he heard that it was an urgent military situation, and Meng Tian was sitting opposite him, Fusu did not shy away from it, so he directly opened the letter in front of Meng Tian and read it word by word.
After reading it, Fusu did not immediately inform Meng Tian, but resealed the letter, and found one of his cronies to let him see that the letter was sent to Xianyang City as soon as possible, and then looked at Meng Tian again.
"Could it be that something big happened on the territory of the Mauryan Empire?" Meng Tian didn't dare to delay Fusu's strength at all, and felt that this was not a trivial matter, and his head, which was already a little dizzy, suddenly sobered up a lot.
"Peng Yue and the Xiongnu's general Long He led a small number of cavalry to sneak attack the enemy army on the Peacock Dynasty, and now they have an understanding of the enemy's combat effectiveness, so they will inform the king of the situation as soon as possible, if it is different from what the king thought before, the king will naturally change the previous plan."
"How strong are those enemy troops?" This question is the question that Meng Tian almost wants to know the most, although he also knows that if the opponent is nothing, it will still be very beneficial to Daqin, but in his heart he still hopes that the opponent will not be too vegetable, otherwise it will be useless for Ying Gao to send him to the Peacock Dynasty? Peng Yue and Long He and a few others can do a good job, what kind of fun can they follow, after all, if those people are in terms of age and generation, they are all their juniors.
"According to Peng Yue, if the king can't send some reinforcements this time, although they will also have the ability to defend Hua's City to the death, but those cities occupied by the enemy in the west, they are afraid that they will not be able to take it back, Long and Peng Yue used 10,000 troops to carry out a sneak attack at night, this sneak attack was very successful, and it was indeed almost annihilated a force of about 20,000 enemy troops, but they also paid as much as half of the losses, under such losses, they would not rashly send troops, The cavalry of the opposing side are all battle-hardened people, and once they fight, they will inevitably be damaged. ”
These are Peng Yue's original words in the letter, Fu Su relied on his erudition and strong memory to repeat it, and after Meng Tian heard it, his brows also furrowed deeply, Peng Yue's ability He didn't understand, but he still knew the courage of Long and this person, plus Peng Yue could only be stronger, but a successful sneak attack still paid so much price, which can only show that the enemy they are facing is really a little tricky.
"It seems that I am going to leave for the Peacock Dynasty earlier, what they lack now is a team of people like me leading, which belongs to my Great Qin, and they will spit it out if they eat it!"
