Chapter 507: Making a Great Contribution (Second Update)
But when he heard that almost a hundred thousand enemy cavalry had been found outside the city, his mind was completely empty.
Under such circumstances, Sarishi didn't know how many of his troops were left, and no matter how many were left, they were all running in all directions, and they couldn't form combat effectiveness at all.
Hearing such bad news, Sarija did not believe it, because after tossing for almost a night, at this time the sky had begun to brighten a little, and Sarija came to the city wall in person under the protection of a group of guards, and he wanted to see with his own eyes what happened to the city that he had always thought was impregnable.
What he saw was an elephant on a rampage, and his elite soldiers didn't know how many of them were lying on the ground, and those who were alive either didn't know where they had gone, or they were still struggling to survive in the chase of elephants.
Looking further away, Sheli Shijia found Xiang Yu and Han Xin's army, who were hiding in a place where the elephant had not reached at this time, quietly observing everything that happened under the city.
Their armor, the words on their banners, all of them were unheard of and unseen by the relics, and at this time he finally knew that his dynasty was targeted by a force from an unknown place, and it hit seven inches of his dynasty at once.
"If you don't let the guards in the capital escort you out, when all these elephants run into the mountains and forests, I'm afraid that the 100,000 cavalry will attack the city, and there is no 300,000 troops and elephants of my Peacock Dynasty outside the city, I'm afraid that it won't take long for them to attack the city, so the king should leave first, and take refuge in other cities for a few days, and when my Peacock Dynasty raises soldiers, we will naturally be able to make a comeback and bring this Hua City back into our hands!"
I have to say that there are still some loyal people under the Sari-Sac, in such a crisis, what they think of is how to preserve the bloodline of the dynasty, if the Relic Loser is captured alive in such a battle, the dignity of the Mauryan Dynasty will be gone.
Listening to the words of his courtiers, the face of the relics was full of iron, since he could remember, he had been living in this Hua City and had never left, if he was allowed to leave his royal city under such circumstances, it would be a great shame for him and for the Mauryan Dynasty.
But at the same time, he also knew that what his subordinates said was also very reasonable, if he was really captured alive by those cavalry who didn't know where he came from, or was directly beheaded in Fahrenheit City, and then showed off his head in front of his own people, then the Peacock Dynasty would really be over.
He never thought that the huge edifice of the Mauryan Dynasty would fall overnight, although the city he thought was insignificant was not so strong, but his royal city was still very well guarded, 300,000 soldiers, nearly 1,000 elephants, were actually played with by a team of 20,000 cavalry.
"Your Majesty! I should have made a decision earlier! Otherwise, when the enemy army of 100,000 starts to attack together, it will be difficult to break through! ”
Seeing that the face of the relics was blue and white, it was obvious that he was still making up his mind there, and the officials under his command hurriedly added another fire to him.
"Good! Then abandon Fahrenheit for the time being, find a well-armed city to the west to rest for a while, and then raise troops and horses to take Fahrenheit City back! ”
Although this is still beautiful, everyone knows that it is very difficult to really take back this city, but these are all later words, if you don't live, everything will be in vain.
After he made up his mind, several of his cronies hurriedly found a team of palace guards, who escorted him back to his palace, changed into a set of armor that he had almost never worn, and took two of his favorite women on weekdays, and ran directly to a back gate in Fahrenheit.
There is a very hidden escape passage there, which was originally designed to prevent such a situation from happening, and he never thought he could use it before, but today, he really became the first monarch of the Mauryan Empire to use this passage, of course he didn't know, all because of Yinggao, who was almost thousands of miles away from him.
Han Xin and Xiang Yu naturally didn't know all this, they really had waited until the sky was bright, because at this time, the elephant team gradually ran into the dense forest and walked away, so they acted as scavengers, almost killing the soldiers of the Peacock Dynasty who were still wandering outside the city, and finally, the towering gate of Fahrenheit City appeared in front of their eyes.
It was not a great task to break down the gates of Fahrenheit, because there were no more soldiers against them, and their task of nearly 100,000 men was to break down the gates of a city.
Just over half an hour later, the cavalry of Daqin and the Huns appeared in the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, and at this time, although the sky was already bright, the people in Hua's city were tightly closing the doors and windows, because what happened outside the city last night had almost spread all over Hua's city, although they didn't know that their king had escaped from the secret passage of the back door, but they knew that their capital was broken by foreign races.
They didn't know what fate awaited them, most of the people in this city were from the high-ranking castes of the Mauryan Empire, and they knew what a loss it would be for the Mauryan Empire if they were killed by a foreign race.
But in the end, although they all saw groups of cavalry appearing on the streets of Fahrenheit through the cracks in the doors of their homes, they did not break down their doors or kill people on sight, they just stood in groups at the corners or ends of the streets, like sculptures.
As soon as they entered here, Han Xin and Xiang Yu discovered the palace of the relics and the Jia, because it was too eye-catching, and unlike the Xianyang Palace of Great Qin, this palace was very easy to distinguish in terms of scale and color.
But when the two of them led the army to attack directly, they had already discovered that something was wrong, if the king of the Mauryan Dynasty was still there, there would have to be his personal guards to do some life-and-death struggles with them, but except for a few attendants and women crying there, there were almost no decent people here.
"This monarch of the Peacock Empire, I'm afraid he will have already run away when he sees that I have already gained the advantage in the city!"
In the end, Han Xin came to such a conclusion, and Xiang Yu nodded again and again after hearing it, but in order to confirm the matter, they still brought the two young people who had been working as translators and were more and more comfortable with the language research of the Mauryan Dynasty to the main hall, and questioned some women from the Peacock Dynasty who were crying.
After inquiry, Han Xin and Xiang Yu really got accurate information, the monarch in this palace, Sheli Yijia, his guards and a group of cronies have been running through the back door for a long time, and the reason why those women in his harem know this news is because he personally took away the two women he loves the most on weekdays when he left, and it is precisely for this reason that these remaining women are crying here.
After receiving this news, the two young men who were translators also observed a few minutes of silence for these women, but they also felt that this was normal, because how could such a woman be the woman who was the ruler of this dynasty in their opinion?
Regarding the women of the Peacock Dynasty, it is true that even the Huns are powerless to complain, it stands to reason that they are still very good, if they are placed in the era of Mao Dun Shan Yu, and win such a war, it must be to experience the taste of exotic women in the city of Fahrenheit.
But after they arrived in Fahrenheit City, everyone was well-behaved, which was naturally not unrelated to Xiang Yu's strict requirements, but every one of the 80,000 cavalry was so conscious, and a large part of the reason was that the women of the Peacock Dynasty were really not very suitable for their taste, and the complexion of several shades darker than their Huns was enough for them to be discouraged.
Although Han Xin and Xiang Yu were a little disappointed by the escape of the relics, but when the two of them thought about it carefully, they waited outside the city for several hours for fear of being trampled by elephants and hurting people, plus in the end, it was already a lot of sky, and it took almost an hour to break the door outside, and people in the city could already clearly see that you were carrying 100,000 elite cavalry in your hands.
In such a situation, if the relics lose and don't run away, then he is probably a fool.
According to Han Xin and Xiang Yu's guesses, the relics must basically go to another larger city, temporarily defining it as the capital of the Peacock Dynasty, and then gathering soldiers and horses from all over the dynasty in order to recover the lost territory.
After all, in the eyes of the relics, they only have 100,000 cavalry, and 100,000 people is definitely not an invincible existence for such a large dynasty, and with the background of the Peacock Dynasty, it is definitely not a problem to gather two or three hundred thousand people.
What Han Xin and Xiang Yu are currently concerned about is not whether the relics will make a comeback in the near future, what they are afraid of is that he will not come, but at present, they still only hold two cities of the Peacock Dynasty, and they want to completely connect the capital of the Peacock Dynasty with the barren land leading to Great Qin and the Xiongnu, and there are still many places that need to be opened in the middle.
Han Xin and Xiang Yu didn't rest, the two of them sat on the bench lying horizontally on the relic, and set the general direction of their efforts in the future, and after that, Han Xin wrote this letter to Yinggao directly on the bench.
Maybe it's because Han Xin knows Yinggao too well, or maybe Han Xin is very satisfied with the battle between himself and Xiang Yu, so he didn't spare his pen and ink as before, but told Yinggao at length how he and Xiang Yu set the strategy, how to succeed step by step, how to take Hua's city, and how to plan how to do it next.
According to Han Xin's letter, he and Xiang Yu have several main directions of efforts in the next step, the most important of which is naturally to understand the terrain between Hua's City and the entrance to the barren land, and then take down all the main cities and roads in between, and make some preparations for the next step of the exchange of people and goods between the Great Qin, the Xiongnu and the Peacock Dynasty, after all, they are all knowledgeable people, knowing that you have attacked such a behemoth as the Peacock Dynasty, A large part of that must be due to the abundance of products and manpower here.
Great Qin and the Xiongnu attacked the Mauryan Empire, and the final result will definitely be that a large number of core materials of the Peacock Dynasty will flow into Daqin, and a large amount of manpower will flow into Daqin, and Daqin will also have a lot of manpower flowing here, the people of the Peacock Dynasty who flow to Daqin are to go to Daqin to open up wasteland and work, and the people who flow into Daqin are to manage and assimilate the people of the Peacock Dynasty.
Moreover, they had to find Sima Xin and Peng Yue as soon as possible, and then integrate the forces of the three people, because only in this way could they find the relics as quickly as possible and completely defeat them.
Although Han Xin and Xiang Yu both think that the relics should be a big noodle melon that can't do anything and eat nothing, but people are the spiritual totemic existence of the peacock people, as long as you completely catch this person, and then die, the people of the Peacock Dynasty can completely give up on their ruling class, and then you send some people from the hundred families of the Great Qin Dynasty to spread the language and culture of the Great Qin to them, which will definitely play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort.
For Han Xin and Xiang Yu's series of arrangements, Ying Gao is still very satisfied, although Han Xin said in the letter is relatively conservative, but Ying Gao knows that a dynasty that can even let people take the capital in one night is basically not qualified to be called a dynasty, once the relics reappear, Xiang Yu and Han Xin will definitely not let him go easily.
At this time, Yinggao knew that he didn't have to wait here stupidly, for the distribution of interests between Great Qin and the Xiongnu in this large-scale battle, as well as the arrangement of various affairs in the Peacock Dynasty, he had to start planning in the court of Great Qin.
