Mauryan Empire, east coastal.

The 100,000 guards who were already stationed in the south began to excitedly move north as soon as they received the order.

On the way, it met with 10,000 cavalry, and it was mighty.

The general who led them was named Axesato.

He is the nephew of the current Prime Minister.

The prime minister has not been in office for a long time, and although he has a lot of power, he has no military power at all.

It's time to put someone you can trust in the right place.

What's more, attacking such a little-known small country is almost picking up war achievements in vain.

The Prime Minister certainly won't miss it.

At this moment, the army marched to the province of Yangga, which was less than a dozen miles away from Mount Noa.

Axeto had already begun to send out scouts to spy on the enemy's movements.

The generals who followed him didn't care.

Just keep complimenting the manager.

In their opinion, the outcome of this battle was already predestined.

It was impossible for that small country to hold off an attack of 100,000 troops.

Not to mention that they also had 10,000 cavalry with them.

You must know that the entire Mauryan Empire is only 60,000 cavalry.

The rest of the small countries in the north, the cavalry cannot be compared.

Not to mention the Qin State, which the East had never heard of.

Victory was already predestined, and the only thing they had to worry about was the post-war awards.

How much benefit can be shared by the individual.

So, their minds were all on currying favor with Axesato.

But Axesto, the prime minister's nephew, was extremely tired of what these people were doing.

In his opinion, he has the opportunity to lead such a large army, which is to make meritorious achievements.

This opportunity must be seized and the most beautiful battle can be won.

It's best to have a casualty ratio of 10 to 1.

Keep your losses below 8,000, wipe out the enemy, and even counterattack the hinterland of Qin.

Only then can he prove his abilities.

But now the generals are arrogant to the extreme, and their minds are not on the war at all.

This made Axeto extremely angry, and he wanted to wake them up with a slap in the face.

"The 50,000 allied forces of the tribes and the border tribes have all fallen into the hands of the enemy."

"Don't be careless!"

Axeto's words did not alarm the people.

Instead, he was comforted by the generals.

"The general is overthinking!"

"The Tiaozhi tribe, known as the first tribe on the eastern seaboard, I saw it with my own eyes when I gathered it with Emperor Ashoka."

"Although there are 3,000 cavalry in the clan, the weapons and armor are too worn, and the soldiers have no strategy in battle, more like farmers who are not at all in the climate."

"And the other tribes, not to mention, are not as good as him."

"Such a coalition of 50,000 troops, I'm afraid that even 10,000 of us will be difficult to resist."

"To defeat them, you still need to send 80,000 people, so what kind of goods can Qin State have."

"Huh? Hahaha! ”

The lieutenant's words made Axeto very dissatisfied, but it was difficult to attack.

After all, the prime minister personally warned him that the main purpose of this war was to encircle the generals and control the military power.

Axeto could only say with a smirk.

"But this battle didn't want too many casualties."

"The Zhiti patriarch said that 50,000 of them fought desperately, causing nearly 10,000 injuries to the other party."

"If we defeat each other, but the damage is greater than 10,000, wouldn't it be the same as those coastal tribes?"

Axeto's smiling face finally made the surrounding generals feel something.

Combined with the words, I suddenly understood.

He wanted to show his abilities to the fullest.

The generals' eyes narrowed suddenly.

It is easy to defeat, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is somewhat difficult to control the casualties to be less than 10,000.

But who knows, Axeto then said again.

"Also, after all, this is the first chance given by the God King to Benjiang, and Benjiang also wants to do better."

"At least don't let the God King think that no matter who is sent to this battle, it will be the same."

"Then it's better to set the damage below eight thousand!"

These words suddenly made the faces of the generals on both sides more solemn.

After all, the other party has an army of 80,000, and this young general wants to fight with 1 to 10 people, which is really ambitious.

This made it necessary to break the line of defense in the shortest possible time of contact with the enemy.

After that, you have to quickly disrupt all the other party's layouts.

This casualty ratio can only be achieved by beating the enemy to the point of being overwhelmed.

That's not a lot of demand.

However, after all, the enemy's combat strength is not strong, and he still has 10,000 elite cavalry.

After thinking about it, the generals still thought that it was not a big problem.

One of them, a burly man with a full beard, replied in a deep voice.

"Since the general is so determined, we generals will never back down."

"Isn't it just a quick break?"

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer and fight a bloody way for the army!"

When Axeto heard this, he was finally right.

Tears open in excitement.

"Good!"

"That's how it should be."

At this moment, the scouts who had gone to investigate first began to return one by one.

"Report!"

"The people of the Qin State really occupied Noa Mountain."

"And also form a line of defense at the bottom of the mountain."

"There are 10,000 people looking at it."

These words made everyone present stare.

Axetto snorted even more.

"It's really brave to invade the territory of my Peacock Dynasty like this."

"If you don't retreat after being warned, you won't be able to remember if you don't beat them up like this!"

"The generals obeyed the order, and the army hastened its march."

"Ben is going to retake my Mauryan Empire's territory in one day."

"It is even more necessary to attack Daqin within three days, find their capital, and find out their king to make him sober!"

The words full of momentum made all the generals shout along.

At this time, the bearded general spoke again.

"General, if you want to quickly break down the opponent's defense, you have to take the momentum first and break their confidence."

"Especially since they have just defeated the 50,000 coalition army, and they are gaining momentum at this moment."

"Don't press it, let them recognize the reality."

"If you start a war directly, I'm afraid it will also cause obstacles to our army!"

The words of the bearded general were indeed recognized by everyone.

Axeto also frowned.

"Then you say, how to suppress the opponent's momentum and deter the enemy?"

The bearded general smiled slightly.

"It's the easiest thing for you."

"A small country like the other party simply doesn't have the strength to form cavalry."

"The patriarch of Zhiti also said that his 3,000 cavalry were killed directly at the door of the opponent's house before they were besieged and died!"

"You can see their fear of cavalry."

"You only need to line up 10,000 cavalry in front of you to clear the way."

"That mighty voice will surely terrify the enemy."

"Then our 100,000 army will follow, not to mention the other party's soldiers."

"I'm afraid that their generals will no longer have the courage to defend."

"I can't say it, then I can recapture Mount Noa without blood."

"The general can also wave his army eastward again and make more achievements!"

When the words fell, Axeto's eyes were already bright.

A smile full of praise for this person.

"That's a good point."

"That's how it should be!"

The other generals were dissatisfied with the fact that this person had taken the lead, but they also nodded, believing that this move was indeed the most damaging to local confidence.

Seeing that there was no objection, Axetor shouted.

"Herald cavalry!"

"Suppress the formation first, let Qin Guo take a good look."

"What kind of huge dynasty they provoked!"

The words fell, and the herald immediately went to the back.

In a short time, 10,000 mighty cavalry rushed to the east.

At this moment, Zhang Han, who was standing on the top of Mount Noa, was constantly looking to the west.

Always waiting for the Mauryan Empire's counterattack.

After all, this is a huge dynasty that even His Highness has spoken out to warn about.

Don't take it lightly.

He turned to look behind him at the difficult and dangerous places that had been lying in ambush for a long time.

and swept to the south to the hundred warships hidden in the bay.

The face is solemn.

It is roughly estimated in my heart that if the other party comes with 200,000 people, they can hold on for more than a month.

If 500,000 people come, they will only be able to hold out for ten days.

If there are millions of people, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to defend for three days.

His Highness's army will take another three days to arrive.

Zhang Han was a little apprehensive in his heart.

I hope the other party won't go all out as soon as they come up.

But the words just fell.

The scout, who had climbed anxiously from the foot of the mountain, shouted back.

"Report!"

"Enemy cavalry found ten miles to the west."

"There are 10,000 of them, and they are speeding up!"

These words made Zhang Han's face solemn.

The lieutenant general on his side also frowned.

"Is there 10,000 cavalry just for the pathfinder forward?"

"Looks like this battle is going to be tough!"

Zhang Han frowned and thought for a moment.

"No matter how difficult it is, it must wait until His Highness arrives."

"If they dare to torture and kill my Great Qin soldiers, they must pay the price of blood!"

"What if it's a million-strong army?"

Zhang Han turned over and climbed the boulder on his side, standing on the top of the mountain and shouting to all the soldiers.

"Soldiers!"

"I, Great Qin, swept the world and unified Kyushu."

"For what?"

"Isn't it just to keep my Qin people from being bullied by foreign clans?"

"But now His Highness has stepped on the Huns, swept the Western Regions, and is invincible."

"But there are still people who take the opportunity to sneak attack and torture and kill two hundred loyal soldiers of my Great Qin!"

"Tell me, what should I do?"

Suddenly, there were voices echoing everywhere in the mountains and forests.

"Don't be bullied by foreigners, only kill!"

"Kill him with a broken heart, kill him and kneel and beg for mercy!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Zhang Han nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right!"

"Only kill!"

"Let me tell you, it's not that those two hundred soldiers can't go."

"It's that they feel that they can't lose the face of Daqin, and they can't lose the blood of my Qin people!"

"Even if the other side is a hundred times as many as them, they must fight to the death."

"What they are guarding is the dignity of my Great Qin and the bottom line of my Qin people!"

"But these enemies actually attacked and viciously skinned our warriors."

"Tell me, they didn't retreat, even if they face a million army today!"

"Shall I wait for a refund?"

The chaotic shouts around suddenly converged into a torrent.

"Fight to the death!"

"No retreat!"

"No retreat!"

The violent roar finally satisfied Zhang Han.

"Then follow me and meet the enemy!"

The words fell, and the 10,000 cavalry from the west happened to rush out of the mountains and forests in the distance.

It's like an earth dragon, kicking up a continuous cloud of dust.

At the foot of Mount Noa.

When the 10,000 soldiers saw that the enemy was cavalry, they immediately began to change formations.

The shield men retreated, and the spearmen stepped forward.

In the soil ditch dug on both sides, dozens of meters of slightly short soldiers, holding iron cables, bent forward together.

Until he came to the front of the battle line and lay down dozens of meters, ready to tighten the tripping rope at any time.

At this moment, all the generals were extremely solemn.

Those who dare to put cavalry in the front are either nomads who are horse-oriented.

Either the army is strong, and 10,000 cavalry is only the vanguard.

His Royal Highness said that the other party also belonged to the agricultural civilization like Great Qin, so only the latter explanation remained.

Coupled with Zhang Han's shout just now, morale was raised.

In order to prevent the soldiers from psychological pressure in their hearts when they see the opponent's million-strong army.

It was almost already telling the soldiers that there were far more enemies than they thought.

When 10,000 cavalry, they came to the forefront of the front.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Keep your eyes on the rear and wait for the real army to appear.

Sure enough, the 10,000 cavalry had no intention of rushing up to test it.

It's just that it's constantly out of range of the bow and arrow.

From time to time, he also rushed at the soldiers on the defensive line, screaming and mocking.

"Are you waiting for a small country to eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?"

"Dare to attack my Peacock Dynasty?"

"Are your generals mad?"

"How dare you keep 10,000 of you stationed?"

"Are they sending you to death?"

"You're still stupid, aren't you, standing here motionless!"

"Stupid as a donkey, hahaha!"

These words made the soldiers of the Qin army look ugly one by one.

There seemed to be a surge of anger rising in my heart.

But with good military literacy, they still didn't act rashly.

It's just that everyone looks at these cavalrymen with very fierce eyes.

"Don't let us catch it, or you won't be able to keep any of your skins!"

The 10,000 cavalry looked at the Qin army's defense line that did not dare to move at all, and was even shrinking.

For a while, I was overjoyed.

"Inform the general."

"As soon as the cavalry appeared, we had already scared the enemy's courage!"

A few people tried aggressively, and even rode their horses to a hundred paces away from the defensive line.

But in the Qin people's front, there was still not a single arrow shot.

Arrogant, they didn't feel anything wrong with it.

I only think that this is the suppression of small countries in the face of cavalry.

And on the mountain, it looks so arrogant, so ignorant of life and death.

They have already entered the range of the crossbow phalanx, and even half of the enemies are within the range of the ballista.

One by one, the lieutenants were furious.

"What a death!"

"Even if you have fought thousands of miles with Your Highness, you have never seen such an arrogant enemy!"

Among them, the deputy general who led the crossbow arrow camp gritted his teeth and roared.

"Today, even if they have an army of millions, I will slaughter these 10,000 cavalry!"

But when the words fell, Zhang Han reminded in a low voice.

"They want to provoke you and make you lose your mind."

"With such shoddy means, you still want to be fooled?"

Zhang Han glanced at the generals.

"Your Highness is here in three days, and I don't care what method you use."

"You have to defend the area I have assigned to you."

"Even if you are the last person to die, drain the last drop of blood!"

"The defense line can't be broken!"

Zhang Han's stern words once again aggravated the solemnity in people's hearts.

No matter how angry the generals are, they can only nod their heads at this moment.

That is, at this very moment.

The far west, the real army of the enemy, has finally arrived.

With the fluttering military flags appeared.

Zhang Han and the others were all staring worriedly.

They all want to see how many people there are on the enemy.

With the first army of 100,000 men stationed at the front of the battle line.

Zhang Han narrowed his eyes and vigorously observed the second batch of military formations behind the smoke and dust.

But after a while, as the army of 100,000 got closer and closer.

At the edge of the mountain forest behind, the smoke and dust gradually became clear.

The mountains and forests were silent again.

There was no movement.

This scene made the generals stunned.

Zhang Han was the first to wake up, could it be that the other party had other offensive routes?

Or do you gather in batches?

But the words were not finished.

At the foot of the mountain, the enemy's cavalry shouted at the battle line.

"See?"

"The 100,000 troops of my Peacock Dynasty have arrived!"

"No more retreat, no more surrender."

"There is only one way to die!"

The words fell, and the defender on the defense line at the foot of the hill was the first to wink.

"What? Only 100,000 people? ”

The soldier beside him, the originally solemn brow also relaxed instantly.

"Only 100,000 people came, where did they have the courage to be so provocative?"
