Chapter 814: Calculating with each other

Obviously, it is impossible for the Mauryan Dynasty to really fight the Zhao army, if they can't defeat the Zhao army in a short time, after the Zhao State unifies the Central Plains, it will only be more difficult.

Although the Peacock Dynasty is not afraid of Zhao Guo, it does not want to increase the difficulty for itself.

Of course, the Mauryan Empire did not know that the Zhao State had unified the Central Plains, but because it wanted to integrate internal resources, it did not want to start an imperial war with the Mauryan Empire for the time being.

Three days later, after much deliberation, Sain decided to lead the army north again.

In order to lure the Zhao army to take the bait, Sein ordered Marin to lead a legion to the front, take over the territory abandoned by the Zhao army, and lead the army to follow behind, ready to support at any time.

The escape of the Peacock Army and the Zhao Army had little impact on them, but it could toss the surrounding barbarians.

The Peacock Army came, they surrendered to the Mauryan Dynasty, and the Zhao Army came, and they surrendered to the Zhao State.

Well, now the Peacock Army is here again!

Do they vote or not?

Can you two empires be serious, this is a war, not a playhouse.

We're embarrassed by what you're doing!

Some tribes with relatively small populations are already preparing to move their entire clans.

You two are uncles, we can't afford to hide.

However, countries with large sizes, such as the Dian Kingdom, the Mimo Kingdom, the Song Kingdom, and the Ranjiao Kingdom, could not move their clans, and could only wait for the results of the war in fear.

No matter who wins or loses this battle, it will not affect the pattern of the Zhao State and the Mauryan Dynasty, but it will determine the fate of these small countries.

Sadly, in this race of fate, they can't change anything, they can only wait until the Zhao State and the Mauryan Dynasty decide the winner, and then cling to the winner.

This is the sorrow of a weak country.

They're lucky, at least they're alive.

The Kingdom of Kunming and the Kingdom of Qiongdu have been destroyed by the Mauryan Dynasty.

Typical immortal fights, mortals suffer.

Between this escape and chase, the scout teams of Zhao Jun and the Peacock Army are also constantly fighting.

The scouts of the two armies are the most elite soldiers selected from the army, and they are impeccable in terms of individual combat ability and coordination ability.

Neither side let anyone, and the fiercest battle was launched in the jungle in the southwest.

Because the Zhao army was all northerners, they were not adapted to the climate and terrain of the southwest, and they were faintly at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Peacock Army.

"General, I noticed that an enemy army was following from the rear." Scout reports.

"The Peacocks sent a legion to chase after them? Keep exploring, there's an army behind!" After receiving the information, Tian Dan said very firmly.

He had already received the news that the Mauryan Dynasty had sent reinforcements, and from the fact that the enemy commander arrived at the front line and took the initiative to lead the army to retreat, he could see that the other party was a very cautious person, and it was impossible to do such a risky thing under normal circumstances.

"No." The scout captain said with his fists clenched.

"Go and get the guide." Tian Dan said to the guards.

Soon, the guide of Kunming was invited to the camp, clenched his fists and said, "I have seen the general."

"Sit." Tian Dan didn't look down on him because of the identity of the guide barbarian, pointed to the bench, and said kindly, "Ben will come to you this time, mainly to find out. Is there an open area nearby that can accommodate 80,000 to 100,000 troops fighting?"

"Eighty thousand to one hundred thousand troops fighting, nearby...... Not really, but there is a lake fifty miles to the north, and the open space on the shore of the lake is very wide, and it is not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people to fight." The guide said.

This lake used to be the place where Kunming depended for its survival, but then the peacock army came over, and everything changed......

If possible, the guide would prefer that Zhao would be able to defeat the Mauryan Empire and avenge Kunming.

"Not far from that route?" Tian Dan asked, pointing to the route of Zhao Jun's southward movement on the map.

"It's about this location, not very far, a mile off." The guide pointed to a location on the map.

"Is it easy for the army to get in and out?" Tian Dan asked

"It's very convenient, and there used to be a lot of businessmen coming and going." The guide said.

"Okay, this is it." Tian Dan pressed his right hand on the map and said resolutely.

He didn't plan to wait any longer, he wanted to break the Peacock Army in three days and let the entire Peacock Dynasty remember his name!

Whether it is the high-level of the Peacock Dynasty or the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom, they are extremely arrogant in their hearts, although they know that the other party is an empire of the same level as themselves, but deep down they still look down on each other, thinking that the other party is a barbarian and unworthy of being on a par with themselves.

In dealing with the barbarians, Zhao has always been quick to decide, and will never delay the war for a few months or even a year or two.

The Mauryan dynasty will not be an exception!

The next day, the Zhao army arrived at the lake and set up camp as before.

After the night, the camp left without any abnormality.

On the third day, Marin led the Peacock Army to chase after him.

"General, there are scouts of the Zhao army not far ahead." Scout reports.

"Let them watch first." Ma Lin said indifferently, Dafang arranged the military camp for the Zhao army scouts to see, and there was no intention of evading it at all.

His army is the bait to attract the Zhao army to eat, and only if the enemy feels that he understands his weakness and is sure to take it, they will make a move.

However, in order to avoid Zhao Jun's suspicion, after a while, Ma Lin still sent someone to drive Zhao Jun's scouts away.

"General, this is the tent arrangement of the vanguard of the Peacock Army." The scout came to the camp of the Zhao army and handed over what he had just discovered to Tian Dan.

"The camp defense full of holes seems to want to attract my Zhao army to take the initiative to attack, and this will satisfy you." Tian Dan drew the sword at his waist and ordered, "Beat the drums and pull out the camp."

Tian Dan didn't even cover up his tracks, so he killed the past in such a righteous and bright way.

An army of thirty or forty thousand, there is no way to hide traces in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, and sooner or later it will be discovered by the Peacock Army.

Moreover, Tiandan's target is not the 6,000 peacock army in the basin, but the main force of more than 100,000 in the rear.

Marin soon received a message from the scouts and immediately sent a message to Sein, while organizing a large army to prepare for defense.

As long as he can hold out until Sain leads the main force to arrive, the Peacock Army will be able to defeat or even completely annihilate the Zhao army by virtue of its numerical superiority and win the battle.

"Kill!" Tian Dan roared angrily and led the Zhao army to kill him directly.

Seeing that the Peacock Army did not retreat, but held on to the spot, he knew that this battle was stable, and the Peacock Army would definitely pay the price for their arrogance.

The Shooting Battalion took the lead in attacking, and the overwhelming rain of arrows covered the Peacock Army, but it was just an ordinary attack, and they did not use burst arrows or split arrows, and Tian Dan and Yan Zhou did not open their talents to bless the Shooting Battalion.

After the last sneak attack, the vanguard of the Peacock Army has all changed to large shields and the best armor, raising the defense to the extreme.

Even so, a rain of arrows in the shooting battalion was also caused

The casualties of hundreds greatly suppressed the morale of the Peacock Army.

"It's Zhao Jun's super elite archer legion!" Ma Lin's heart sank, and he hurriedly turned on his talent to bless the whole army, and at the same time contracted the defensive line, protecting the wounded in the middle, blocking the strong ones outside, and the soldiers in the rear threw short spears to counterattack.

The Zhao army is wearing armor, and it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to cause effective lethality, but weapons such as short spears and short spears that make miracles can easily penetrate the armor and cause greater lethality.

"Raise your shield!" Pang Xuan shouted, and the Zhao army behind him raised a big shield at the same time to block the attack of the Peacock Army. At this time, the two sides were already very close, and they could even see each other's expressions clearly.

Whether it was the Zhao army or the Peacock army, they did not show the slightest fear, and their fighting spirit and morale were constantly rising.

"Kill." Both sides erupted in earth-shattering roars at the same time, wielding their weapons vigorously and slashing at the enemy.

Pang Xuan opened his talent and blessed the whole army, and the spear slashed a red arc in mid-air, cutting off the spear that was stabbing towards him, and then remained

Unabatedly, it crashed into the chest of the thousand generals of the Peacock Army, instantly obliterating it.

Zhu Hai led Wei Wushu to press over, he carried a big shield in his left hand, a heavy sword in his right hand, and with a swing of a sword, he cut the big shield of the Peacock Army and the soldiers behind him in half.

More than 4,000 Wei warriors were expressionless, constantly raising their shields, waving their swords, and advancing, repeating the same movements.

Even if the Peacock Army has tried its best to resist, it is still not Wei Wushu's opponent, their big shield and armor are very strong in defense, but for Wei Wushu, it is just a question of one sword or two swords.

After Wei Wushu bumped into the Peacock Army, his pace didn't even stop, but slowed down slightly.

In fact, after the fall of the Wei State, Wei Wushu was affected by some things, if it wasn't for Wei Wuji, it was very likely that he would fall under the military spirit.

Of all the legions of the Wei State, the recognition of the Zhao State by the Wei Wushu was also the lowest.

The other legions recognized Zhao Guo because of Zhao Kuo. And Wei Wushu's recognition of Zhao Guo was because of Wei Wuji.

If it weren't for Wei Wuji, there was a high probability that Wei Wushu would not join the Zhao State.

In the rear, the arrows of the shooting battalion continued, and the Peacock army was killed every minute.

The main force of the Peacock Army was only a little more than an hour away from the battlefield, and Ma Lin was originally very confident that he could hold on to the attack of the Zhao Army, but now he suddenly had some doubts.

On the other side, Feng Ting also led the Zhao army to press over, and the three legions surrounded the Peacock Legion from three directions.

With beads of sweat on his forehead, Marin quickly mobilized the soldiers from the rear to make up for them, and at the same time tore the wounded off.

But there are too many places for the Peacock Army to defend, there are enemies everywhere in all directions, and the weakest ones are on the same level as the Peacock Army, and there are three Transcendent Realm powerhouses as the front.

At first, Ma Lin sat in the center and was only responsible for command and dispatch, but soon he couldn't sit still and rushed to the front to fight with Pang Xuan.

But no matter how strong he is, he can only block Pang Xuan alone, and he can't block Feng Ting and Zhu Hai.

And as he was dragged by Pang Xuan, the command system of the Peacock Army was also paralyzed, and the wounded soldiers had no time to withdraw, and the soldiers in the rear could not come up in time, and the casualties increased greatly for a while.

And Zhao Jun, whether it is Tian Dan or Feng Ting, can command.

"If you go on like this, you can wipe out the Peacock Army in half an hour at most, and how can you attract the main force of the Peacock Army. Send an order to Wei Wushu, collect some strength, as long as you maintain the current front." Tian Dan looked at the battlefield and frowned.

The strength of the Zhao army is too strong, and this has not yet fully exploded, and the Peacock Army is a little unbearable.

Especially Wei Wushu, I don't know if there is anger in his heart, a sword and a child, he is completely killing the elite of the Peacock Army as miscellaneous soldiers.

As Tian Dan's order arrived at Zhu Hai, Zhu Hai's face showed displeasure, but he still obeyed Tian Dan's order and gave the Peacock Army a chance to breathe.

On the other side, after receiving Marin's news, Sain immediately beat the drum and gathered the whole army and rushed towards the battlefield.

For some reason, Sein always had an ominous premonition in his heart, for fear that Marin would be wiped out before he arrived, and he didn't dare to delay it at all.

By the time Sain led the Peacock Army to the battlefield, only one-third of the soldiers under Marin's command remained, and everyone was wounded.

Sein hesitated slightly, the Peacock Army had just been running wild for more than an hour, and it stands to reason that they should take a break before joining the battlefield.

But it was clear that the Marin Legion couldn't hold out for so long, and the Zhao army found that after the main force of the Peacock Army arrived, the killing speed was faster.

"Kill!" Sein still decided to join the battle immediately, although his physical strength was affected after the journey, but the Peacock Army is the elite of the world after all, and this endurance is still there.

Moreover, the Zhao army also experienced more than an hour of fighting, and the situation was not much better.

Seeing the main force of the Peacock Army joining the battlefield, Tian Dan finally breathed his last sigh of relief, with a hearty smile on his face.

This terrain was specially chosen by him, surrounded by mountains and mountains, and only the basin around the lake could accommodate an army of eighty or ninety thousand

Combat.

As long as the basin is filled, no matter how many peacock troops there are, they can only stay outside.

The number of Zhao troops was more than 30,000, close to 40,000.

The number of the Peacock Army is 1440,000, and there are tens of thousands of auxiliary troops, which should add up to almost 200,000.

However, Tian Dan did not treat the auxiliary army as a person, and in terms of the combat effectiveness of those barbarians, the Zhao army could fight ten at a time.

And it is impossible for these auxiliaries to work for the Peacock Dynasty, as long as the Peacock Army has a tendency to be defeated, these auxiliaries will run faster than rabbits.

The real enemy of the Zhao army is only the Peacock Army.

If it was a frontal battle, no matter how strong the Zhao army was, it would be impossible to defeat four times the enemy army.

After all, this is the real elite of the empire, not those barbarians can compare.

But if the number of both sides is about the same, Tian Dan is very confident that Zhao Jun will win, and can even win with a small loss.

And in this case, the Peacock Army is the most easily deceived.

The empire is self-confident, and Tian Dan feels that when the number is the same, the Zhao army will win.

Sain also felt that when the two sides were equal in number, the Peacocks would win.

In order to achieve this condition, it is necessary to find a special terrain in this mountainous area that is not three feet flat, which can accommodate about 80,000 troops in a melee battle.

And the basin centered on the lake perfectly meets this condition, as long as the Zhao army enters the basin first, the Peacock Army can only send more than 40,000 soldiers to join the war at most, and no more basin can accommodate it.

Moreover, there are lofty mountains and mountains all around, and there is no place for the Peacock Army to gain a foothold, so it is impossible to suppress the Zhao Army from a high position.
