November 3rd. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The vanguard of the Mauryan Kingdom, the Hundred Riders royal rate led 50,000 mercenaries to Bamiyan, an important town in the Broken Leaf Province on the Persian Plateau.

Bamiyan is located in the jurisdiction of the province of Broken Leaves, arriving in the Indus Valley, is an important node on the Silk Road, between the Persian Plateau and the Green Ridge of this small city, carrying the south, east and west of the civilization of the three sides, the first goal of the Mauryan army to the north, this is here.

Ma Jin, the captain of the Qin military academy guarding Bamiyan, has about 4,000 soldiers under his command, and this part of the army is also the only force with combat effectiveness in Broken Leaf Province except for the 10,000 people in Ji Bu's hands. Now, however, they must face an attack from an enemy who is many times larger than their own.

Abandon!

Makin couldn't do it.

This was not only because his sense of military honor did not allow it, but also because once Bamiyan was lost, the Mauryan army would be able to follow the Bamiyan Valley all the way to the city of Broken Leaf in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River. If he can hold back the enemy army in Bamiyan for a while, I believe that Ji Bu will be able to gather the strength of the whole province more calmly, and the reinforcements from the east and west will also arrive before the weather freezes.

Guarding is not weakness.

Whether it is Ji Bu or Ma Jin, they are all battle-hardened generals, their age has long passed the time of impulse, as long as the Broken Leaf City is not lost, the Silk Road will not be interrupted, Ma Jin, who has made up his mind to stick to it, began to build fortress walls one after another along the Bamiyan River Valley, where the thick loess can easily dig out one cave after another, and these caves are the Qin army's natural Tibetan tunnels.

The mercenaries of the Hundred Vehicles led by Sri led by Sri were obviously not adapted to the cold climate of the north, and the laziness of the South Asians was very thorough in the attack on Bamiyan, and the 4,000 Qin troops led by Ma Jin blocked Sri for about ten days in a row, and it was not until November 13 that Sri's army began to break through the defense line of the outer city of Bamiyan.

The decline of the hundred mercenaries made the great general Psyamituo very annoyed, this general from the Xunjia tribe originally intended to use the hands of the Qin people to weaken the rival Sri Li, but the current situation is difficult to ride a tiger. The weather in November is already full of wind and snow for the Amu Darya area.

South Asia, after years of drought and warmth, is very different from the ice and snow in the north, and the Indian army began to fear the weather here after arriving in Bamiyan. For ordinary soldiers, especially the mercenary soldiers of the Hundred Rides Country, the so-called struggle for power and profit of the big men has nothing to do with them, the slaves and civilians, what they care about is that they can have a bite to eat every day and be able to fill their stomachs.

Ptheamidus urged Sri to attack the city to no avail. In a fit of rage, the ambitious general decided to replace the siege force, and this time, he sent his descendants, the Sunga war elephants.

Elephant soldiers.

Unique to South Asia, elephants are huge creatures that are suitable for survival in tropical and subtropical jungles, and they like to eat the tender strips on the branches of broad-leaved trees. As early as around the second millennium B.C., the Indians had examples of taming elephants to serve humans, and the establishment of war elephant troops can be traced back to the beginning of the Mauryan Empire.

The elephant is large in size, superior in strength, and the general defensive formation does not play any role in the target soldier team at all, and Psiamidus takes the elephant soldier as the forerunner, and looks at the deterrent power of the war elephant rampage.

The city of Bamiyan.

It's just a simple rammed earthen wall made of loess. Such a wall is okay against ordinary infantry, but if it is against war elephants, it is not enough at all.

November 20, in the city of Bamiyan.

After a series of bitter battles, there were still more than 2,200 soldiers of the Qin army guarding the city, and it became more and more difficult to defend the city. Although Ma Jin dispatched in many ways, his troops were still not enough.

On the castle tower.

Ma Jin and several military marquis stood on a high place, watching the enemy camp in the river valley.

"Captain Ma, the attacking troops have been replaced outside the city. Those cowardly Baiyan people have withdrawn, and now it is the war elephants of the Sunga tribe that have come up, and our walls cannot withstand the impact of such big guys. Among the military marquis, a bearded man said worriedly.

"Bamiyan can't give up. Even if we all die in battle, we will be nailed here like a nail, those brown-skinned aliens, if you want to go to Broken Leaf City, you will first step on my Ma Jin's body, you have heard clearly, if there is a situation of cowardice later, don't blame my surname Ma for not being emotional? Ma Jin's eyes widened, and he shouted at the bearded marquis.

"Don't worry, Captain, we will do our best." Hearing Ma Jin's resolute intentions, all the military marquis also looked solemn one by one, and agreed in unison.

――。

Bamiyan was besieged by the enemy, and the province of Broken Leaves was in an emergency, and Li Yuan received an urgent report from Ji Bu in early November.

In the autumn of the seventeenth year of the Great Qin calendar, the Qin army was preparing for a new round of land offensive against Rome, to be honest, the Mauryan Kingdom of the Indian Peninsula had the courage to confront the Qin State, which Li Yuan ignored, and Li Yuan really didn't know much about this South Asian subcontinent, known as the third nation in the world.

Rome was the most powerful Western power of the same era as the Qin state, and its history, from Scipio the Great, Fabian, Marius, Pompey, Caesar, Ottavian, Antony, these famous figures, are recorded in detail in Western history books, but the situation in the Indian Peninsula is different.

The ancient civilization born in the Ganges and Indus valleys is a splendid culture on a par with Egypt, China, Greece, Rome and other civilizations, but its influence has never been comparable to the first four, the reason is very simple, that is, the Indian peninsula has not been able to have a strong and lasting dynasty, this South Asian peninsula, the only one that has left a deep impression on the world, is their religion - Buddhism.

The Mauryan Dynasty had unified most of the peninsula during the Ashoka period, but the time was very short, after the death of Ashoka, the Mauryan Dynasty also declined, according to the development of history, the giant car was the last king, and his death was in these years.

A country that is about to die is naturally not in Li Yuan's sight, and the goal of Great Qin's conquest is always aimed at the most powerful opponent. This time, the Indians jumped out and wanted to let blood from the artery of the Qin State, and Li Yuan naturally would not let go of this potential opponent again.

The crisis in Broken Leaf City put the seemingly powerful Qin State in a dilemma all of a sudden.

Throughout Central Asia and the Middle East, the smoke of war has begun to ignite. The differences between the yellow race and the white race, and the differences in the living habits and personal beliefs of the Eastern and Western peoples, cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. The sudden attack of the Indian Peacock Kingdom was like a bomb that exploded at a fixed point, detonating all the unstable factors on the long Silk Road at once.

On the Persian plateau, the Persians, who were unwilling to lose power, began to attack the pavilions set up by the Qin state non-stop, and on the Syrian plateau, the descendants of the Assyrians also raised the banner of resistance, their purpose was to expel the Qin people and restore the kingdom of their ancestors.

Great Qin Western Regions.

In this situation, although the troops of Qin's western expedition were strong, if they did not withdraw from the European front, the troops used to return to Broken Leaf City and quell the wars in various provinces would be insufficient.

Mid-November.

After Li Yuan urgently convened the advisers and generals to discuss, he issued an urgent order in Xin'an City, and the 80,000 westward marching legions led by Luo Jia and Cao Xin, together with the 20,000 mercenaries of the Thracian general Spartacus, continued to guard the line of Macedonia and the Greek peninsula; At the same time, the Han Shin Army, which was oppressing the Germans and Saxons on the northern front, continued to maintain the momentum of pressure on the Nordic peoples, and strived to squeeze the northern barbarians to the Roman border line as soon as possible.

At the same time, about 60,000 soldiers were drawn from the second-line part to form a reinforcement corps, which included a group of young generals such as Yang Yu, Zhou Ping, Han Anguo, Feng Tang, and Li Shang, who were directly commanded by Li Yuan and prepared to cross the Persian Plateau and outflank the Mauryan Empire along the route of Alexander the Great's capture of the Indus River.

Come and don't be rude.

With Li Yuan's style, of course, he has to pay tribute to the Indians once, and this time after the left hook punch, Li Yuan hopes to directly beat the Indian Ah San until he can't move.
