The Solomon Pass fell. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The 460 Sunga soldiers guarding the pass were killed by the Wuhuan people, and only one of the little novices who was detained in the cellar survived, this lucky guy named Shamen Muriri, I don't know if it was the protection of the Buddha, all the guards in the stone house above him were burned to death, and he obtained the much-needed oxygen by relying on the leaky gap on the side of the cellar.

Feng Tang and Qiu Lijin joined forces in one place, and the rapid integration of troops reached more than 5,000 people, which was huge for a while, and the Indian kingdoms were extremely shaken, especially the Xunjia Kingdom, which bore the brunt of the attack, and was even more nervous.

You must know that although they have been shouting "The wolf is coming, the wolf is coming", but judging from the actions, the preparation for war has not really begun, and even the Sunga king Psyamita will be mainly busy calming the disputes between different sects in the country, and he has no time to care whether the Qin army will cross the Suleiman Mountains and appear in the place where they have lived for generations. The reason for this is because of the laziness and indifference of Indian nature.

Darrow City.

It has become a large barracks, after a fire and an infantry regiment was annihilated, the poor friend finally repented from his mistake, it is impossible to annihilate an infantry regiment just because of the rebellion of the Buddhists, so it is obvious that there are scout troops of the Qin army mixed in, and there are quite a few of them.

In a panic, the messenger hurriedly reported the emergency military situation to Pssimitus, this upheaval made Pssimitus shocked, the successive defeats have seriously affected his prestige, and the death of Sha'ou made his heart ache even more, in a hurry, the Sunga king raised 100,000 soldiers and 2,000 war elephants, formed a pro-conquest army, and fought a decisive battle with the Qin army in the Indus River area.

Three hundred years ago, the Mauryan founder's military victory in repelling the Macedonian invaders was the only proud example of counter-aggression in the subcontinent.

Three hundred years have passed, and now another test is before the Indian tribes, who are blaming each other. Or unite regardless of previous suspicions, whether Psyamito is the hero who leads the kingdoms against foreign enemies, no one knows the answer.

Darrow City is the second line of defense.

Its location, already in the heart of the Indus River, is a vast plain that is suitable for a large-scale decisive battle, and Pssimitus has set up a battlefield here. It is to establish its prestige with a big victory, and its confidence comes from the most outstanding war elephant troops in South Asia.

Elephant soldiers.

One of the most formidable of the subcontinent's armies, Psyamito believed that he and his people would win the final victory in this patriotic battle.

――。

The Qin army crossed Mount Suleiman one after another. Appearing on the Indus Plain, the arrival of these armies from the East was like a sudden opening of a door, blowing the breeze from outside into the hearts of Indian civilians and slaves who had been oppressed by the caste system for centuries.

Caste system.

It is the most typical and strict hierarchy in the ancient world, and it is also an ancient system unique to South Asia, and its existence has allowed the people of this subcontinent to be thousands of years later. Still can't get rid of the impact of the difference in rank.

The first estate of Brahmins was mainly a monk-aristocracy with the privilege of interpreting religious scriptures and offering sacrifices to the gods; The second estate, the Kshatriyas, were the military aristocracy and the administrative aristocracy. They have the privilege of collecting all kinds of taxes. The third estate, the Vaishyas, is the class of free commoners. They were engaged in farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, etc., and had no political privileges, and had to provide for the first two ranks in the form of alms and taxes. The fourth class of Shudras were overwhelmingly subjugated, non-Aryan people who practiced farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, and occupations that were considered lowly at the time.

There are clear barriers between these four ranks, and the occupations of each level are hereditary, and the father and son are passed down from generation to generation. There is basically no possibility of intergeneration, especially between low-ranking men and high-ranking women, and as for the last Shudra, they do not even have the right to participate in religious life.

For the unreasonable old system, all overthrows, liberate those Shudras who live at the bottom of the oppression, and tell them that they are born equal. There is no distinction between high and low, and they are called upon to rise up against the oppression of the first and second estates.

People are equal.

This is the concept of governance that Qin has always advocated, and Li Yuan, as a person with a modern soul, naturally abandons the concept of hierarchy. Among his subordinates, there are not a few people from humble backgrounds, such as the general Cao Xin, who is a disciple from Li Youfuzhong.

A liberation movement sweeping South Asia is about to begin. And its fuse is the battle for the city of Daro, the first thing the Qin army wants to gain the trust of the Shudras with the largest number of people is to defeat the Kshatriya and Brahmin forces led by Psyamida and Chayou.

In the eighteenth year of the Great Qin calendar, March 19.

A torrential rain saved the Indus Valley from the dry season, flooding the thirsty sand and waking up life that had been dormant for a whole winter.

70,000 Qin soldiers stationed outside the city of Daro, and the Indian army against it, the number of 100,000 people, only from the lineup of both sides, this is an evenly matched contest, although the Indians have more than 30,000 people, but in terms of weapons and equipment, compared with the Qin army, the gap is too big, if it is not for the strong support of war elephants, Psyamatus simply can't afford to have the idea of a decisive battle with the Qin army.

On the side of the Qin army.

Like a pitch-black cloud, covering the north bank of the Indian River tightly, in an inconspicuous place, Li Yuanzheng faintly looked at the Indian Sunga army arrayed in the opposite valley, after experiencing countless large-scale fierce battles, his judgment of the battlefield situation became more and more keen.

"Your Majesty, the Indians have come out, but they have a big river to block them, and Daro City is in their hands, and in a short time, it will be very difficult for us to defeat them?" Next to Li Yuan, Han Xin hugged his gray beard and said.

"Feng Tang and Qiu Lijin's troops have already crossed the river, do they have any latest news to send back?" Li Yuan glanced at Yang Yu, who was discussing things with the staff officers, and asked.

Yang Yu's face turned red, he ran a few steps quickly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, General Feng Tang's scout troops have crossed Patara and marched towards the area of Mocha and Abanti, and Qiu Lijin's Wuhuan advance team is still south of Daro City, and they have just sent news that they have seen the war elephant troops of the Indians passing by-!" ”

After being reprimanded by Li Yuan, Yang Yu was also obedient, and after thinking about it, he simply resigned from the mission of leading troops to fight, and concentrated on running to the General Staff Department as a battlefield analyst.

"War elephants, generals, against such a behemoth, our crossbow arrows are afraid that they will not play much role, in your opinion, what method should be adopted?" Li Yuan nodded and asked Han Xin instead.

For several years, the various units of the Qin army have been fighting independently, and Li Yuan and Han Xin are also extremely rare to be able to get together and jointly command a big battle. With this opportunity this time, Li Yuan naturally wanted to hear the thoughts of Han Xin, a military master.

Han Xin's dark face revealed a bit of longing: "Your Majesty, using an elephant as a mount, this is not much different from the northern steppe peoples using horses to mount, the difference is that elephants are bigger than horses, and their bodies are more sturdy. ”

The power of the couch crossbow.

In the battle of Cape Andre has been undoubtedly revealed, the wooden warships of the Romans, in front of a thick and powerful couch crossbow, turned into a pile of rotten wood floating on the sea, and now, the Indians' rough-skinned war elephants meet the advanced weapons of the Qin army, what will be the result, Li Yuan is very looking forward to it.

"General, it's not easy for the crossbow to move and turn, and the enemy war elephant moves fast on land, if our crossbow bolt misses, it will be irreparable!" Li Yuan thought for a moment and reminded.

Han Xin waved his hand suddenly, and said: "Your Majesty, it is raining in the sky, and there is no fire attack, if our army wants to win, it is imperative that we lure the enemy war elephants into the range of the couch crossbow.
