Chapter 706: Sweeping the entire realm of Kalinga
Han Xin was right, it was not the people of Great Qin who described the Peacock Dynasty as very powerful with false rumors.
But compared with the previous Great Qin, the Peacock Dynasty is indeed very powerful!
During the reign of Emperor Ashoka, the territory of the Mauryan Empire was also constantly expanding, and the weapons and equipment were very sophisticated!
But now that Ashoka is dead, the Mauryan Empire has begun to decline.
It's just that there's an empty shelf, and it won't be long before it falls apart!
And Daqin is thriving, getting stronger day by day!
That's why Wang Li and the others felt that the folk legend of the Peacock Dynasty was too evil, in fact, it was like paper paste, and it couldn't withstand a few shots from them!
"General, I asked out, they are all ordinary soldiers, and the one who was killed is the city lord of this Kalinga City!"
While Han Xin and others were cleaning up the battlefield, they also talked about the rapid development of Daqin in recent years.
Meng Yun suddenly ran over and reported with a smile.
"What? The one who died was the lord of the city? ”
Everyone was stunned.
Especially Fan Xu, he watched a few young people kill the dark-skinned middle-aged man with a rusty broadsword!
I thought someone had given the order to do this.
Unexpectedly, the one who died was the city lord!
"Do you know why?"
"It should be that city lord who asked them to do something, but they didn't want to, so there was a riot!"
The two Chinese languages do not understand each other, and they are also half-listened and half-guessed, which is why this result is reached.
"Haha? Is there such a thing? ”
Hearing this, everyone present laughed.
"That's it! These are not important, control them all, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, live here tonight, and early tomorrow morning, split up, expand around, sweep the villages near Kalinga City, and see if there are still remnants of the army! ”
"Yes!"
The territory of the Mauryan Empire was larger, especially the city of Kalinga.
This was once an independent country, and it was impossible to have only these troops in the city, and the other tribes must still have troops stationed there, so they all had to be swept away.
"It's still the same principle as before, don't kill the people, don't kill the prisoners, but if you encounter stubborn resistance, you will never be soft, and you must ensure the lives of the soldiers!"
Han Xin confessed again.
Even though these words had been said many times on the ship, he still had to tell them again and again!
The original purpose of Great Qin's attack on the Mauryan Dynasty was to need captives to work as coolies and build bridges and roads for Great Qin.
So as long as you are willing to surrender on your own initiative, then there is no need to kill them all!
"Okay! General Han has said this many times, and we have taken it to heart! ”
"No! As soon as I closed my eyes, it was General Han's words! ”
"What are you guys, I dreamed on the ship a few days ago, and I dreamed that a soldier under my hand was in danger, and I sacrificed my life to save him, for fear that the soldier would be in any danger, and I was scolded by General Han, haha......!"
Wang Li, Fan Xu and the others laughed jokingly.
Although there is an exaggeration in it, what they want to express is that they have imprinted these things in their minds and will never forget them!
"You guys, clean, have I said that so many times?"
After being teased by a few, Han Xin scratched his head and asked with a smile.
"Uh-huh!"
The answer is necessarily in the affirmative.
A few people nodded again and again as if pounding garlic!
"That's no way, every soldier has parents and children, if they die because of the war, what should the family do? But while you keep them alive, you have to be safe! You are all the pillars of the imperial court, and no one can have anything to do! ”
Han Xin opened his mouth with a straight face, scanning everyone.
Before this, Daqin's strength was relatively weak, and some people sacrificed for the war, for the sake of long-term peace in the future, and for their families not to be harassed by foreign races!
But now that Great Qin's strength has stood at the top of the world, the war can also be said to be overwhelming.
If there are any more casualties, it will be the responsibility of the generals!
"General Han, you can rest assured, we all understand!"
Wang Li and the others responded with a smile, and then went to work.
The city is now just an ordinary city, there is nothing valuable at all, and it only takes half a day to clean it up.
However, I found a lot of grain and poultry, and stewed it for the soldiers that night, and opened the meat!
After a good rest, the next morning according to the plan, the team was divided into dozens of squads and cleaned up the Kalinga area.
Seven days later, the army reunited, bringing back a lot of prisoners and booty!
Not counting grain and grass, there are 10,000 or 20,000 war horses alone!
After leaving the grain, grass, prisoners, and booty in the city, and leaving a group of people to guard the town, Han Xin ordered all the horses to be distributed to the soldiers, and then set off and continued on his way.
Their next target is the city of Bodh Gaya.
It's not far from Fahrenheit.
Once you've conquered it, head straight to Fahrenheit!
Take down their royal city first, and then gradually attack the other cities!
Although the Qin army had war horses, there were also a lot of foot soldiers, plus some heavy grain and grass, so the speed of movement was not fast!
But Han Xin is not in a hurry, anyway, none of these cities can run, and it is a matter of time before they are bulldozed!
"Hey! Old Peng, it's been a few days since we left the city of Qianlinga, and the news you said should have reached the ears of their king at this time, right? ”
"Hmmm! You're welcome! ”
On the march, Fan scolded Peng Yue beside him, and asked with two sword eyebrows.
Peng Yue thought for a while, and responded innocently!
In the Mauryan Dynasty, the city of Kalinga is considered a very large city!
It was attacked by foreign races in a short period of time, and if their king didn't even receive the news, he really deserved to destroy the country!
"What? Scared? ”
Yingbu clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and also caught up, interjecting horizontally.
"Afraid? When did I say that I was afraid? ”
However, his words immediately aroused Fan Xu's dissatisfaction, and he shouted with his neck stalked.
If you don't know him, you think this guy is about to do it!
"Why aren't you afraid of asking this?"
"Hey, hey! You don't understand this, do you? As long as the king of their Peacock Dynasty receives the news, he will inevitably release the 10,000-headed elephant army, I want to see if our Makqin is powerful, or the elephant army is more powerful......! ”
Fan Xu, who was still pulling his neck just now, suddenly laughed maliciously, "It is said that the elephant's body is like a hill, its ears are like a fan, and its four feet are like pillars, but I have never seen it before!" I don't know what that means, is it delicious? ”
Fan Xu's eyes were shining, and he looked at everyone suspiciously.
"Poof......
A few people around him, no one expected him to come up with such a sentence.
After doing it for a long time, he was afraid that the king would not know that the war had started, and he was worried that they would not let go of the elephant army!
