Driven by such ideas and possibilities, several generals of the Seleucid Dynasty each led a team of 20,000 men and horses, and they did not cooperate with each other very much, only to see who occupied more cities, to see who occupied more cities, to see who occupied more cities, and to see who advanced faster, after all, if it was really time to settle the credit, they would all be considered credit.

If you are proud, you will get carried away, and if you forget your form, you will be given the opportunity by the enemy, and this sentence is very suitable for the Seleucid soldiers at this time.

Long Ji and Peng Yue, each with five thousand cavalry, all of them lightly armed, they had already arrived at the front line, and they had been observing the situation of the Seleucid cavalry.

Because the Seleucid Dynasty often went east under the command of Antiochus III to regain the previously lost land, the army's army was almost always dominated by very mobile cavalry, and only the defenders of the dynasty's borders and some cities inside were infantry, so this time the Mauryan Dynasty was also a cavalry.

In this case, after discussing with Peng Yue, he followed Peng Yue's advice, and when the distance between the enemy's teams became farther and farther away because of the increasing number of cities attacked, and it was difficult to echo, he would choose one of the weakest to strike first, and once he succeeded, he would plan according to the enemy's situation.

Although Long Ji's favorite way to fight is still positive, but in this case, the situation Peng Yue said is indeed the most reasonable, otherwise a bad one is the result of 10,000 against tens of thousands, which is obviously not their original intention of disobeying the orders of Yinggao and Xiang Yu and secretly sending troops.

Seeing that the city that should have belonged to their side was attacked by foreign races who didn't know where they came from, and seeing the people who were about to become the subjects of their own dynasty being driven and slaughtered by those foreign races at will was uncomfortable, Peng Yue and Long He persevered for several days, and finally, an opportunity appeared under their noses.

At the very beginning, it was obvious that several generals of the Seleucid Dynasty had planned in advance to capture those cities, and the five armies were almost all in a situation of advancing in unison, so the benefits were obvious, that is, once they were attacked all the way, at least two reinforcements could arrive to support them relatively quickly, and it was precisely because of this that Long He and Peng Yue endured for so long.

But the attack was too smooth, so that one of the generals had some different ideas, according to their original plan, there were indeed a lot of cities in his direction, but they were not big cities, in his opinion, in the end, the other generals of the other people made a lot of money, and their own credit was the least, and there would definitely be no face in front of Antiochus III.

Driven by such thoughts, he made a decision that seemed a bit bold, but he felt that there was nothing to do, and crossed the two smaller cities and directly attacked a city located in the center of the Mauryan Empire, which was of great strategic significance at first glance.

He believed that there must be no decent defenders in this city, so he took it quietly, and even if the other generals were unhappy, they had to endure it, because it had become a fact.

In this way, he completely ignored the plan they had made together to not send troops at night, and gathered his 20,000 cavalry on a dark and windy night, and hurriedly advanced to the line that had been touched before.

In fact, as early as when this guy sent a small team of people to inspect the city in front of him sneakily, Peng Yue and Long Ji had already seen the purpose of this guy, and what they were waiting for was such an opportunity, although there were only 10,000 horses, but they were able to take each other off guard and be able to catch each other off guard, and the two of them still had great confidence.

Although they had taken a shortcut, because of the distance between the city and him, it took the Seleucid generals more than two hours to rush all the way to the near of the city, and when they stopped, even the horses were tired and began to gasp.

But in his eyes, this is not a problem, because when they attacked those cities before, it has been proved that no matter what the size of these Mauryan cities is, you will basically be able to defeat them when you arrive, and the rest of the work is just to smash the city gates open.

"Dismount, break open the gates, and prepare to enter the city!"

The general gave such an order with a swagger, and when he had finished speaking, a group of men jumped off their horses, and took a very heavy wooden stake from the carriage at the back of the procession, which was their sharp weapon for breaking down the city gate, and after that, the whole group of people carried the large wooden stake, and prepared to start the storming of the city gate.

However, just when everyone's eyes were focused on the gate of this large city, on either side of them, there were two ghostly teams, 10,000 cavalry, all of whom held the largest Qin crossbow in their hands, and when the eyes of the Seleuks were focused on the city gate, they were silently aiming at their targets.

"Boom! Boom! ”

The stake slammed down on the city gate, and inside the gate, there were frightened Mauryan people, as if waiting for fate to judge them.

The general listened to this beautiful voice, and his heart was very proud, he was also a battle-hardened general, knowing that if there were defenders in this city, he would have fought back on the city wall, but now there is nothing, this is obviously a city with only people.

But just as he was closest to success, suddenly an untimely scream appeared in his ears, and his first reaction was that the city gate might have been breached, but when he looked closely, it was not.

Then, there was a massive scream, and it was only then that he finally realized that the scream was coming from the ranks behind him.

"General, enemy attack! Our army has been hit by the enemy's bow and arrow! ”

As soon as he turned his head, an adjutant general had already arrived in front of him, hurriedly informing his general of the situation that was happening to his army.

"It's okay, don't panic, it's probably because the scouts in this city have detected our army's attack on this city, so they are ambushed on the periphery, and when this round of bows and arrows is finished, they should show up, these soldiers of the Peacock Dynasty who have not been trained for I don't know how many years, our army is just chopping melons and vegetables!"

Although he encountered a round of bows and arrows, and in the dark night sky, he did not know the specific casualties of the 20,000 soldiers under his command, but he still had great confidence in himself, after all, such a large city, according to the consistent urine nature of the Mauryan Dynasty, it was not impossible for the city lord to get some private arms and want to take it for himself.

But he didn't know that this round of Qin crossbow had already made me know how many sergeants died here quietly, this was not a consumable Qin crossbow carried by the cavalry, but a standard version of the Qin crossbow that was more than half a person high, and it was opened to improve a lot, if it was daytime, the Seleucid general who felt good about himself would find that there were two soldiers under his command who fell to the ground and were pierced with the same arrow because they were too close before, which is enough to show the power of the Qin crossbow.

And with such a big Qin crossbow is also Peng Yue's suggestion, according to him, he and the dragon must be at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers, in this case, only if all other aspects are well prepared, it is possible to give the enemy a real fatal blow, originally the dragon and a little bit of such a statement can not agree, but when a round of Qin crossbow is launched, he can't help but sigh: Da Qin, this thing is really good!

Just when Long He wanted to get his sergeants to get up and ride their horses to rush out, Peng Yue sent someone to deliver a message, telling Long He to hurry up and launch another round before the enemy could react to their exact location, and then throw Qin Crossbow here for the time being, rush out as fast as possible, and have a white-knuckle battle with the enemy.

Although Peng Yue's proposal was not the same as Long He had imagined before, he always had a feeling that he had heard Peng Yue's words and had a certain reason, so he immediately ordered the sergeant to use the Qin crossbow in his hand to shoot another round.

With Long Ji's order, another round of arrows poured out, and at this time, the Seleuc cavalry had just judged the direction of the enemy, some had already begun to move towards Long Ji and Peng Yue, and some had just turned around.

But at this time, another round of arrows poured out, which was definitely what they didn't expect, they thought that the archers would be very weak after pulling the bow and shooting arrows, and they would definitely not shoot a second round in a short time, they would quickly flee for their lives, so as not to be close to the archers.

Of course, they didn't know that the Qin crossbows unique to Great Qin didn't require so much effort, and the people who operated these Qin crossbows were not archers themselves, but cavalrymen like them.

The damage caused by the second round of arrow rain was naturally not as great as that of the first round, but it slowed down their movements, because they didn't know if there would be a third round of arrow rain waiting for them when they rushed there again, after all, it was pitch black in front of them.

"Kill! Slay all these aliens! ”

But they hesitated, Long Ji and Peng Yue did not hesitate, they had been held back for a long time in the realm of the Peacock Dynasty, and they were finally able to be presumptuous, so they naturally wanted to seize the opportunity.

Especially the Hun cavalry under the command of Long Ji, what they pursued was the pleasure of killing one enemy after another on horseback, but since arriving in this place, although they have won several important wars, they have basically not experienced the feeling of cavalry rushing back and forth on land, and this time, such a feeling is coming.

Hearing the cavalry of Daqin and the Huns shouting words that they didn't understand, the Seleucid general finally understood that there would be no third round of arrow rain, so he hurriedly beckoned the soldiers under his command to meet the enemy.

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was any, and the main purpose of Long Ji and Peng Yue's expedition this time was to find out what the combat ability of the Seleucid soldiers was.

For the combat effectiveness of these Seleucid cavalry, Long Ji and Peng Yue were a little more dignified in their hearts.

These people experienced two rounds of very strong arrow rain under unsuspecting conditions, and according to Long Ji and Peng Yue's guesses, there should definitely be a situation where the formation was scattered and difficult to withstand their onslaught, and even if it was not good, these cavalry might flee directly.

But this time they were disappointed, the situation they imagined did not appear, although almost thousands of people were shot, but the formation of these cavalry was not very scattered, when they realized that the enemy's cavalry would soon reach their eyes, they all formed a certain formation with their comrades nearby, and did not run away because of the fear of the enemy.

In the end, Long Ji and Peng Yue came to a conclusion, since this dynasty dared to send these cavalry to compete with Great Qin in the affairs of the Peacock Dynasty, he still had a certain strength, their cavalry was not just well-trained, obviously they had also experienced a lot of wars, and it was impossible for cavalry who had not experienced real wars to have such a rapid reaction ability on the battlefield.

Although it has encountered hard stubble, but as Peng Yue said before, there is a mental calculation and no intention, and the secret calculation is clear, plus this team of people has broken away from the large army, almost all the dominant dragons and Peng Yue have already accounted for it, but the number of people who came over this time is a little less.

In such a situation, it is impossible for them to retreat after detecting the enemy's catties, both of them have a belief in their hearts, that is, the harder you are, the more I have to take you down, this is also a good opportunity to show the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin and the Huns in front of their enemies, so all they want is to eat this team of cavalry, even if it is necessary to pay some price, it is impossible to die in war, and retreating will only kill more people.

Great Qin and Xiongnu have been in the land of the Mauryan Empire for some time, and the Seleuc Dynasty and the Mauryan Empire are also quite familiar, but what they would never have thought is that on this ordinary night, this small battle is the fiercest battle of the Mauryan Empire for decades, and this battle has made both forces re-understand each other's capabilities.

This battle did not stop until the sky had gradually brightened, and the result was both unexpected and reasonable.
