On top of the main battlefield in the South.

When the 60,000 elite army slaughtered the already panicked 80,000 army.

The whole battlefield is like a steel knife cutting tofu.

In a short period of time, the Mauryan army was shattered.

They wanted to retreat, but as soon as they turned around, they saw the 30,000 troops brought by Chang Lin.

The blockage of the back road was a hammer, smashing all their hopes.

Except for a few soldiers scattered on both sides who were able to get around the encirclement.

No one will ever be able to escape from the battlefield.

When the first slave discarded his weapon and fell to his knees.

The 80,000-strong army fell to the ground and surrendered like the waves of wheat in autumn.

Zhang Han looked at this scene with satisfaction.

But I don't want to, in the western mountains and forests.

But the chief of the Nati tribe rushed out to take back the scattered soldiers, regardless of the danger.

They hid their horses on the west side of the forest and fled quickly.

Zhang Han didn't plan to chase anymore.

And in his opinion, the defense line he has set up is an excellent place to defend against the enemy.

This time it didn't play a role, and it would be a waste to abandon it and continue westward.

It is entirely possible to wait for the next wave of reinforcements from the Mauryan Empire.

Relying on the defense line, the strength of the Mauryan Dynasty was almost consumed, and then decisively marched westward to attack the hinterland in one go.

And the Zhiti patriarch who fled got what he wanted from the mouths of these scattered soldiers.

"The other party is not a human at all, they are all devils who don't know pain!"

"They are under the command of the Demon King Bo Xun, and they must have come to pull us to hell."

The patriarch of the Zhiti was very satisfied with the words of the soldiers.

In Buddhism, people have predicted that Ashoka killed too much, which is likely to attract the prying eyes of the demon king.

Now that the rumors have been confirmed, the God King absolutely can't bear it.

In a fit of rage, he will send troops to recruit himself.

When the time comes, the hatred between the two countries will no longer be caused by his small support.

With the encouragement of the Zhiti patriarch, the news of the Demon King's attack was constantly passed on by these soldiers who fled all the way west.

The entire Mauryan Empire became suspicious.

……

And at the same time.

The northwestern land of the Mauryan Empire.

Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu, Wang Li, Yi Xie.

Four men led 30,000 infantry and 100,000 cavalry.

Divide into three routes and quickly go south.

At a speed that the Mauryan Dynasty didn't have time to react, it took twelve cities in a row.

These twelve cities are not the small cities that Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu fought in order to bring back 100,000 border troops some time ago.

Rather, it is the twelve veritable main cities of the Mauryan Empire in the West.

It is equivalent to eating one-twelfth of the territory of the Mauryan Empire (a little larger than the current southern area of Pakistan).

After 27 battles, tens of thousands of enemies were killed.

War destroys the ancient decay, and there is never a united enemy.

The soldiers of Daqin who fought were a little carried away.

The Evil Duck is often in tears.

This is the normal combat power of the farming dynasty.

It turns out that the royal court is not weak.

It's all bad luck.

At the beginning, he led them to pick the strongest opponent.

This feeling is like encountering the final chapter boss just out of the novice village.

After being abused thousands of times, I realized that the world was so beautiful.

Not far away, Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu had some disputes at this moment.

Zhang Liang still believes that the expansion of the army should be based on prudence.

After all, Guishan behind him only left 20,000 defenders.

If they break into the Mauryan Empire too deeply, they will lose their connection with the Kushan.

If Napatia takes the opportunity to expand eastward, it is impossible to say that the land of Kushan will be lost.

At that time, the Mauryan Dynasty will also react, and it is likely to form a two-bread sandwich.

Even if they had 100,000 cavalry, it would be difficult for them to fight on both sides when their backs were empty and they were deprived of supplies.

But Xiang Yu didn't think so.

After he saw the combat power of the Mauryan Empire's soldiers with his own eyes.

I excitedly changed my initial plan.

The strategic goal is to penetrate the Mauryan Empire.

Directly cross from the middle of the Mauryan Dynasty and arrive at the West Port of Daqin.

After meeting with Zhang Han, report to His Highness.

Request assistance from the southern garrison of Great Qin.

Then turn around and sweep away the entire Mauryan Dynasty in one fell swoop.

"That's what we set out to do."

"And now it's easier to implement, why doesn't the gentleman agree?"

Zhang Liang's face was anxious.

"That's because it was judged that there was another force fighting the Mauryan Empire."

"We can do it with their confusion."

"But now another force has suddenly disappeared."

"You and I attacked twelve cities in a row, but we didn't find any news."

"It's so strange, it's probably the boast that the man made at that time to deter us!"

"After all, the Mauryan Empire has a million troops, and the territory is vast."

"If the other force is false, we have no information and no geography."

"If you go in headlong, you will only be led by the nose by them."

Xiang Yu was slightly unconvinced, thinking that even if there were no other forces.

With the strength that the Mauryan Empire is showing now, it can't stop their army at all.

But Zhang Liang was always worried that there would be changes in Parthia behind him.

And he found that the soldiers under his command were becoming more and more arrogant and underestimating the enemy.

Even a Wu Commander doesn't take the Mauryan Dynasty in his eyes now.

Zhang Liang was secretly worried.

Arrogance is the worst enemy of the self-destruction of all powerful forces.

If this continues, it is likely that the enemy will seize the opportunity and usher in a big defeat.

Zhang Liang now wanted to retreat more and more.

Not to mention Xiang Yu's army, even the 50,000 Hu people who came to support the Yi Evil Duck didn't want to leave.

The constant victories once again stirred up their bloodthirsty hearts.

All they could think about at the moment was the constant siege of the city and the land.

These few times after beating the city, before they could rest, some soldiers shouted where to attack next.

seems to be extremely imposing, but secretly it is planting the root cause.

Zhang Liang, who was vigilant in his heart, was now only thinking about how to get the soldiers back to normal.

If you continue like this, you will definitely pay a price.

It is best to usher in a small defeat and pour cold water on the soldiers.

Zhang Liang can also take this opportunity to temporarily retreat and wait for the news to return to China.

After His Highness gave the order, he attacked with the east.

At that time, even if there are no so-called other forces, it will be easy to sweep the Mauryan Empire.

Xiang Yu was very helpless, he understood Zhang Liang's thoughts.

But in his opinion, this state is the best for the soldiers.

If you don't take all enemies into account, you will only become more and more brave and victorious.

In this way, it is very likely that the penetration of the Mauryan Dynasty can be completed.

This is just one move, regardless of whether His Highness wants to continue to attack the Mauryan Dynasty in the future.

This country didn't dare to disturb Great Qin in the slightest.

Shock by force is always the best warning.

But seeing that Zhang Liang had made up his mind, he no longer planned to continue eastward.

He could only sigh and put the move on hold for the time being.

Turn around and command the army in all directions.

Prepare to face the Mauryan counterattack.

……

For the next few days, the surroundings of the Mauryan Empire were unusually quiet.

And in the eastern capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, the royal palace of Fahrenheit.

Ashoka sat above, but his face was already pale.

The report of the battle in the northwest direction of the dynasty has been returned.

The ministers who issued it exchanged heads and ears, making a mess.

No one expected that the 100,000 troops they sent to help Parthia not only failed to help Parthia resist the harassment of Kushan.

was even directly counterattacked by the other party to his own country.

This cream is simply audacious, bordering on madness.

The news that the 100,000-strong army rushed back anxiously but was ambushed halfway and annihilated is deplorable.

But at this moment, what is more important is how to resist these ignorant and ignorant small clans who dare to rebel against the Mauryan Dynasty.

The ministers bowed their heads and whispered for a long time before secretly looking up to see what Ashoka meant.

But Ashoka never said a word.

His eyes stared fiercely at the outside of the hall.

Until the Prime Minister stepped forward cautiously and spoke first.

"God King, that Kushan clan is ignorant and fearless, and not only will it not surrender when it is warned by our court, but it will also dare to resist."

"The ministers thought that it was necessary to send a large army to wipe it out completely."

"In this way, I can show that I am listening, Yang and my peacock national prestige."

When Ashoka heard this, he finally lowered his head.

Glancing at the powerful ministers.

Leng Yan said.

"It seems that this world has forgotten the prestige of my dynasty's army!"

"A little Guishuang dares to be so rampant."

"If I don't destroy it this time, how will the Western countries still think of me?"

"Then how can I eat Bactria and my Mauryan Dynasty?"

Ashoka's eyes narrowed, and he looked sternly at every minister in the main hall.

"Since this king can completely unify the surrounding areas."

"It can make the Mauryan Dynasty stronger."

"Command, gather the army."

"This king wants to conquer again!"

When the words fell, many ministers were suddenly shocked.

Ashoka is going to mobilize the whole country again.

This is to start killing non-stop again.

Suddenly, many ministers hurriedly dissuaded.

"God King can't!"

"Now that the places have just been decided, if you go out in person, in case there is a bad dynasty that can't afford it!"

But who knows, this remark made Ashoka's eyes widen.

"Huh?"

"You mean, attacking a small Kushan clan will make it difficult for this king to win?"

The Prime Minister also burst into applause.

"How dare you make such a wild statement?"

"The god king is invincible."

"Don't talk about a small Guishuang, even if there is a hundredfold stronger enemy, you will definitely be scared."

"Even if the God King doesn't go, it's just because the other party is not qualified enough!"

Although it is also a persuasive word, the prime minister is much more pleasant.

Sure enough, Ashoka's face softened a little bit, which was on the verge of anger.

The minister who spoke out reacted with a shudder.

Plop fell to his knees.

"Weichen has no intention of cursing!"

Hurriedly followed the Prime Minister's words and excused.

"Wei Chen just thinks that a small Guishan is not enough for the God King to come in person."

"Wouldn't that give them too much face."

"For example, today, even the Western countries know that the God King is invincible."

"Except for an ignorant Guishan, who dares to take the initiative to provoke the Peacock Dynasty again."

"The God King has taken himself personally for the sake of a small clan, which has only lowered your prestige."

The minister's changed words finally made Ashoka sit back down.

He was just about to ask who he should send to destroy Guishan.

But at this time, an urgent report suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Report!"

"The large army sent to the eastern coast was ambushed by the enemy."

"The 100,000-strong army was routed several times by the enemy, and finally all of them were surrounded at the foot of Noa's Mountain."

"The soldiers who fled back are still ~ and said that the enemy is not human."

"Yes~ It's the command of the Bo Xun Demon King, who doesn't know pain and is not afraid of life and death."

"Soldiers can't fight at all!"

The words fell, and the atmosphere finally eased a little, and the hall completely fell into the ice cave.

Ashoka's face had been twisted together in an instant.

"What do you say? All 100,000 troops captured? ”

"Return to the Demon King? Why didn't they say that Bo Shun was there in person? ”

"Bang!" With a bang,

Ashoka rearranged on the table in front of him, gritted his teeth and continued.

"What about the 10,000 cavalry?"

"What did they do?"

The messenger raised his head slightly and said worriedly.

"The cavalry ~ cavalry lost contact, and there is no trace of it until now."

Hearing this, Ashoka was already angry and laughing.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

"One Guishuang, one Qin?"

"One east and one west, I don't take my Peacock Dynasty in my eyes at all!"

"This king has fought all his life and pushed the Peacock Dynasty to the peak step by step."

"Now even two nameless small countries dare to wantonly bully!"

Looking at the furious Ashoka, the prime minister also closed his eyes in self-sufficiency.

Now, no one wants to stop the God King from conquest.

At this time, if you dare to speak out to stop it, you will only end up with a tragic death.

The rest of the ministers also sighed stiffly.

No one expected that the armies of the east and west would lose at the same time.

Now, even if Ashoka starts a war again, they have no reason to stop it.

The next moment, everyone only heard Ashoka shouting.

"Herald!"

"Gather the whole army."

"50,000 cavalry, 800,000 infantry, 3,000 chariots, and 9,000 war elephants all marched east with this king."

"This king wants to destroy the Qin State on the east side first."

"Go back and go on an expedition to the land of Kushan!"

"This time, this king wants to show the world the army of my Mauryan Dynasty."

"How powerful is it!"

……

When the Mauryan Empire completely mobilized the nation's forces to fight against the two great enemies.

A small incident that happened in Lujiang County in Daqin once again pushed the world to a crossroads.

A boy stares at the hot gas gushing out of the blast furnace.

It's like those gases are some great thing.

Since the last time Ying Xuan left.

Yingxiang ran to the steelmaking site every day when he had nothing to do, staring at the blast furnace in a daze.

The craftsmen around him have long been accustomed to it.

But today, Lu Hui still came to call him.

In order to facilitate the artisans here to make steel.

Teng Wan led the Yushui branch in the north of Panyang City.

Lu Hui also built a huge water wheel to facilitate people to get water and irrigate the surrounding farmland.

Today is the time for the watermill to start using in earnest.

Lu Hui wanted to take Yingxiang with him, let this young man witness it, and worship and worship himself.

When Yingxiang was pulled to the side of the river of Yushui's tributary without saying anything.

The huge waterwheel, several meters high, had already begun to squeak and squeak.

The water is carried high by a wooden bucket and then flows around the woodpipes.

Lu Hui nodded with satisfaction.

There is such a waterway.

In the steelmaking site, there is no longer a need to spend a lot of manpower all day to fetch water from afar!

Lu Hui raised her eyebrows and showed off to Yingxiang beside her.

Ying Xiang smiled helplessly.

He didn't care, at this moment he just wanted to understand the meaning of His Highness's words.

Look at this waterwheel propelled by the current.

The truth is so simple, what is there to be proud of.

I can think deeply about why such a simple thing has only been created now.

I heard that Lu Hui was awakened by His Royal Highness, so he built it.

Yingxiang sighed a little.

But there was still little interest.

Some of them sat down under the trees beside them.

Look at the clouds reflected in the clear river water, one by one, and drill into the tank along the river.

Want to doze off.

Lu Hui on the side didn't bother.

He just saw that Yingxiang was getting into the horns again, so he wanted to pull him to relax.

Surrounded by flowers and birds, Yingxiang looked at it and fell asleep in a daze.

It can be used between sleep.

It was as if he saw the clouds turn into a mass of energy, replacing the flow of water, propelling the waterwheel to turn.
