On this day, Han Xin, Xiang Yu and Long He met in a dense forest in the mountains after several days of observation, and the three of them shared what they had observed, preparing to set the final strategy for attacking the capital of the Mauryan Empire on this day.

"No matter which direction we come from, as long as we get close to the arrow tower, we will be discovered by the sergeants on the arrow tower, and we will definitely fall into a bitter battle with the Peacock Dynasty soldiers stationed outside the city, although the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is still much worse than my cavalry in Daqin, but in such a battle, I am afraid that our army will suffer heavy casualties!"

The first to express his opinion was Long And, along the way, Long and were all put behind by Xiang Yu to transport grain and grass and baggage, but after attacking a city, the grain and grass and baggage were temporarily put there, and this time the troops were sent for the mobility of the cavalry, 100,000 people basically brought more than ten days of food, and they all did not occupy the place, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, in fact, even if there is no food, the cavalry who ambushed the river or at the foot of the mountain will not starve to death, but it solves a big problem for them.

Long Ji led 30,000 horses this time, and he wanted to give Xiang Yu a great credit in this important battle.

But obviously, after some observation, he found that although the soldiers of the Mauryan Dynasty were not very well trained, this was the capital of the people after all, and the front was not very good, so Long Ji only said what he had observed, and did not have any other ideas.

Han Xin and Xiang Yu looked at each other, and they both saw a flame in each other's eyes, if it had been like before, Xiang Yu would have regretted that he had personally led the army, and now, the subject of the capital of the Peacock Dynasty had been placed in front of Xiang Yu, he had to not only cooperate with Han Xin in this battle, but also prove himself, this is the battle he really wants to participate in.

"Shan Yu, this capital is not as good as the previous city, according to the scout report I sent, in a military camp, there are hundreds of elephants, once our cavalry is impacted by these elephants, the damage will not be small, it is estimated that it is because of these elephants that the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty will be so stable as Mount Tai."

In Han Xin's view, elephants are definitely a huge threat, their 100,000 cavalry are attacking, even if there are 200,000 foot soldiers on the opposite side, they are not afraid, but if there are 500 elephants on the opposite side, the situation is not good.

Since the people of the Peacock Dynasty dare to raise elephants, there must be a way to make elephants obedient, before he figured out this matter, Han Xin thought that it was impossible to easily let the 100,000 army fight against the enemy, otherwise once their elephants were very obedient, this matter would not be easy to do.

As the main commander of this team, Xiang Yu knew that this head must be opened by himself, and Han Xin did not say any way before, it must be to let himself say it first, and he didn't want to steal his limelight.

After calculating the time, Xiang Yu knew that he had taken the 80,000 horses of the Xiongnu to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty for more than two months, and in a war of such a scale, more than two months was naturally not a long time, but Xiang Yu knew that he should solve the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty as quickly as possible, because he had to go back to carry out a series of transformations of the Xiongnu under his rule.

"This Mauryan Dynasty is different from the Central Plains, although the city walls are high and the scouts are dense, but if you want to come to the city, there will not be many defenders in the city, almost all of their defenders are outside the city, so if our army wants to take this city, we must first defeat the defenders in several barracks outside the city, of course, including those elephants raised by the people of the Peacock Dynasty, but the existence of this elephant may not be completely bad for us......"

Speaking of elephants, Xiang Yu's eyes exuded some different brilliance, which made Han Xin's eyes shine, he hadn't heard Xiang Yu say how to use these elephants before, the reason was very simple, that is, they didn't know how to control these elephants at all, let alone how the other party controlled these elephants.

According to the previous discussion between Xiang Yu and Han Xin, it is true that they must not figure out how to attack the city first, but must first break through the barracks outside the city one by one, and the two of them agreed that they should concentrate their superior forces and defeat those barracks individually.

But through the observation of the past few days, they have found that this strategy is very simple to say, but it is difficult to do, there are a total of six barracks outside the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, five of which are all infantry, and there is probably less than a thousand elephants and less than 10,000 cavalry, which can be regarded as the cavalry barracks of the Mauryan Dynasty, but the reason why their cavalry exists is obviously to cooperate with elephants.

Although these two barracks are located on the perimeter of Fahrenheit, they all have a characteristic, that is, they are not too far away from each other, the elephant barracks are located in the middle, and the other five barracks radiate around this barracks.

With this arrangement, once any barracks is attacked by the enemy, at least two of the sergeants in the barracks closest to him can go to the rescue in time, plus those elephants, they can definitely arrive when the casualties are not very large.

In this way, Han Xin and Xiang Yu want to attack these barracks in various ways, which is not very meaningful, and they will quickly expose their troops and strength to the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, and it is precisely because they are aware of this matter that they will have this discussion.

"I wonder what you want to do with those elephants?"

"My Central Plains and the Huns are not without elephants, but since ancient times no one has tamed elephants as mounts, it is precisely because elephants are wild and untamable, I look at the elephants raised by the soldiers of the Peacock Dynasty, and the elephants in my Central Plains are no different, so I guess they are only commanding elephants to a certain extent, otherwise, they will not use the place where the elephants are raised with a high fence, the elephant and the human distance is very far, which is clearly afraid that the elephant will run out uncontrollably or hurt people."

Xiang Yu's words made Han Xin nod his head, and he suddenly found that Xiang Yu had grown too much compared to the young man in Jiangdong before, and he didn't pay attention to those at all, but obviously the people sent by Xiang Yu noticed those, Han Xin knew that sometimes there seemed to be no flaws, and the biggest flaws often appeared in these details that others had not noticed.

"Shan Yu means that even the elephants raised by the people of the Mauryan Dynasty are still wild and untamable, and we can take advantage of this......"

"Yes, if only the cavalry of my Great Qin and the Huns faces the elephants, it will naturally be our cavalry that suffers in the end, but if it is not only my Daqin and the Xiongnu's cavalry who are facing the elephants, plus the situation is very chaotic, it is not necessarily our cavalry that suffers."

Xiang Yu's sentence is obviously to the point, but Han Xin and Long He are both generals who stand at the top of the pyramid in this era, and they almost instantly understood what Xiang Yu thought of doing, this is a strategy to repay the other in the other way, once successful, the effect is self-evident.

But the three of them also know that all the strategies that seem to work well, there must be risks, and the risks will definitely not be small, this strategy is the same, elephants are animals, and cats and dogs are very different, once the elephant rushes up, no matter how fierce you are, no matter how invincible, once you are hit, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

Moreover, the speed of the elephant running is certainly not inferior to that of the war horse, once the strategy fails, if the people of the Mauryan Dynasty can really let the elephant attack the enemy alone, the risk is too great.

"What Shan Yu said, it is indeed a clever plan, you can try it, but I am waiting for 100,000 troops, but I can't all of them be dispatched, in case this matter does not go according to Shan Yu's idea, I am afraid it will be very unfavorable for us."

Han Xin didn't say it directly, it was because he thought it was worth taking the risk, but he would definitely not agree to such a thing as putting all his eggs in one basket.

According to Xiang Yu's strategy, it is nothing more than a team of men and horses to attack the enemy's military camp, but its purpose is to lure the elephants out, and after the elephants are drawn, they will use the advantage of cavalry speed to break up the formation, so that the elephants can have an impact on the Mauryan Empire's own army.

If such a strategy were to go with an army of 100,000, not only would it not have a very great effect, but it would also block some escape routes because of too many of its own people, and it would obviously outweigh the losses.

In fact, what Han Xin meant when he said this, it was still necessary to bring the 30,000 pioneers with him, in case he succeeded, he would undoubtedly be the biggest hero in this battle, in case he failed, Daqin's 20,000 cavalry would not lose, of course, in Han Xin's heart, he would basically not fail.

"Yes, the three of us are here today, if we all agree with this plan, then you will take 20,000 men with the dragon and choose a night to attack the infantry battalion closest to the barracks where the elephants are raised, and try to mobilize and fight, and guide the people in the barracks closer to the elephants, if you can lure out the elephants, you can use the horsemanship and mobility of my Hun cavalry to see if you can let those elephants follow our lure, even if it is a failure, You also have to know how those Peacock Empire people control the elephants, if you learn about it, even if there are some losses, it will be worth it! ”

Before Han Xin could say anything, Xiang Yu directly gave this task to Long Ji, Han Xin was just about to refute a sentence or two, but Long He didn't give him this opportunity at all, and he was very excited to agree to Xiang Yu's order, and Han Xin was stunned, knowing that if he argued at this time, he might destroy the unity of Daqin and the Xiongnu, so he could only frown and did not speak.

Next, Xiang Yu and Long Ji set the time for the expedition, and gave some advice to Long Ji's attack line and escape route, and then put Long Ji back in advance to prepare.

According to Xiang Yu, their 100,000 army was ambushed in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the capital, and it was impossible for them to remain undiscovered by the people of the Peacock Dynasty all the time, so only by making a move as soon as possible could they take the initiative in their own hands.

After Long Ji left, Xiang Yu did not let Han Xin leave immediately, obviously, he had something to say to Han Xin.

"This time to deal with the elephant of the Peacock Dynasty, it is a strategy that I thought of on a whim, it is too risky, Daqin only has a general this time, and there are only 20,000 horses, once something goes wrong, Xiang Yu really can't explain to the emperor of Daqin, if the relationship between Daqin and the Xiongnu deteriorates, Xiang Yu will become a villain."

"If you just say that, you can't look down on Han Xin......"

Although Han Xin also knew that Xiang Yu was telling the truth, his words still made him not very comfortable in his heart.

"This is naturally only one of the aspects, this time let the dragon take the lead, you and I are not without nothing to do, if the dragon fails, you and I can't watch my Huns' 20,000 cavalry completely wiped out by the Peacock Dynasty, if the dragon wins, you and I will have a heavy task next, this matter is not for you and me to cooperate, I'm afraid it can't be completed!"

Xiang Yu said this, Han Xin naturally couldn't say anything more, so the two of them discussed there for a full hour, and then they each returned to their ambush places.

Xiang Yu almost didn't give any constructive advice in the previous process, nor did he take the lead in the charge, but now at the base of the capital of the Peacock Dynasty, Xiang Yu finally stopped being silent, this is the first strategy he arranged, whether he can achieve the result he wants Xiang Yu naturally doesn't know, but for this war that should have been dominated by Daqin and followed by the Huns, at least in the case that Sima Xin and Peng Yue have not yet arrived, he has temporarily provoked the big beam.

And the most bottomless place in Xiang Yu's heart in this plan is undoubtedly that he doesn't know how the people of the Peacock Dynasty control the elephants, but if they know the language of the elephants and can even communicate with the elephants, then of course Xiang Yu's plan will definitely end in failure.

If the people of the Peacock Dynasty knew Xiang Yu's idea, they would probably cry.
