After marching at full speed for a month, the army appeared outside the Mauryan city of Kashubi.

Wang Jian led the army, standing at the end of the horizon, behind him was the boundless old Qin people, ten armies together, a full two million Qin soldiers.

Among them, there are millions of elite soldiers, who have followed the first emperor to unify the six countries, and have extremely rich combat experience.

The remaining one million are logistics soldiers, but with the increase in the national war system, the physique has changed greatly.

Except for the lack of combat experience, there is no difference between them and veterans, on the way here, Wang Jian specially let these people take the lead, and after training, they all look good.

Wang Jian squinted his eyes and looked at the city in the distance, and a trace of strangeness appeared in his eyes.

It's not so much a city as a large village.

This city is very large, the city wall in front of it alone covers an area of nearly 100 miles, and there is no end in sight, but it is only about ten meters high, which looks a little shabby.

The normal ancient city wall is so high, it can be regarded as good, but now that the national war system has come, it has brought the technology of later generations, steel and cement and soil have come out, and the city wall is still only so high, it is a little too much.

The lowest city walls in Daqin are nearly twenty meters.

Wang Jian raised his hand and gestured to the side, signaling the people behind him not to rush to do it first.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he carefully observed the distance.

There were many slaves standing there on the walls, holding bricks and cement, building the walls, and it can be inferred that the Mauryan Empire did not know about their arrival, but simply built them slowly.

From the speed of development of light industry, it is possible to deduce the approximate strength of one side's forces.

When Wang Jian knew everything in his chest, he waved his hand lightly and ordered someone to raise the battle flag and blow the horn of attack.

The old Qin people walked very lightly, hid their figures through the darkness, and approached in the direction of the city wall.

It wasn't until they arrived under the city walls that they were spotted by the people on the city walls.

At this moment, on the city wall of the Peacock Dynasty, there were slaves busy, and inadvertently someone saw a black figure approaching under the city, and he was directly stunned, and before he could speak, a crossbow arrow appeared first, sealing his throat.

It wasn't until several bodies fell that there was an uproar on the walls.

"General, something is wrong!"

Someone yelled in horror.

"I'm annoyed."

The soldier in charge of the patrol was woken up from his sleep, his face was full of irritability, and he was just about to open his mouth to scold angrily, when he suddenly noticed the Great Qin soldiers killed in the distance, and he was instantly stunned.

He pinched his thigh vigorously, wondering if he was dreaming.

The severe pain allowed him to quickly regain consciousness.

Frightened, he got up from the ground, and without saying a word, turned his head and ran, and went to ventilate and report the news.

Castle Lord's Mansion.

The lord of Kashubi City was lying in the courtyard, hugging left and right, his face squinting, so unhappy.

This place is the closest to Great Qin, but due to the obstruction of the Himalayas and the fact that it is winter, the Qin people will definitely not be able to reach it, so he is drunk and dreams every day.

Bang!

The wooden door of the city lord's mansion was knocked open, and the soldiers ran in in a panic.

"Bastard, didn't the lord of this city give an order, and without my order, idle people are not allowed to approach?" The city lord was originally left with only one last trembling, but he was suddenly frightened, and his face instantly turned extremely pale.

Without hesitation, he reached out and picked up the saber from the table, his face full of madness.

He swore that if he didn't kill this soldier, he would not be a man for the rest of his life!

Several maids were obviously also frightened, and hurriedly picked up their clothes and covered them.

His face was not embarrassed, but full of banter, wanting to see how the soldier was dismantled.

"Lord of the city, something is wrong, someone has called, someone has called."

The soldier ignored his fear, and said in horror.

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked to the ground by the city lord and looked at him like an idiot.

"Didn't I say that you should not sleep while defending the city, and treat the words of the city lord as fart, how did you do it?" The city lord smiled coldly.

Anyone who has seen the map knows that it is absolutely impossible for the Qin soldiers to fight here.

Unless the Qin soldiers have wings and can fly over the Himalayas.

Is it possible?

"Look clearly, this mountain range is called the Himalayas, it is nearly eight thousand meters high, you tell me, how did the Qin soldiers fight here? Yes! Tell me? The lord grabbed the soldier's head and pressed his face against the map on the table.

I secretly said in my heart, do you think this king is an idiot?

"Lord of the City, I really didn't lie to you, someone really called, I don't know if it was Qin Bing, I only know that they are all wearing black armor, and they are very brave."

The soldiers were about to cry, and their little faces trembled with fear.

"Get out!"

The city lord kicked him to the ground with an impatient kick, and was about to continue to complete the trembling that he had just completed, but at this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly fixed on the soldier.

As if he had seen something, he quickly took two steps forward.

Raising his sleeve, he wiped it on the soldier's armor, and by the candlelight, he glanced at it, and his face changed in an instant after seeing it clearly.

Bloodstain!

"Idiot, why don't you hurry up and tell me about such a big thing?" The city lord had a bad premonition in his heart, kicked the kneeling soldier to the ground, and hurriedly walked out.

The soldier was dumbfounded, and he couldn't do it in his heart.

Damn!

Obviously you don't believe it, and you blame me?

didn't dare to hesitate, got up from the ground with a wheel, and hurriedly chased out.

The city lord left the city lord's mansion, grabbed a carriage from the side, quickly rushed to the city gate, stepped up the city wall, and was completely stunned when he saw the black figure under the city.

As far as the eye could see, there were people everywhere, and the black soldiers almost covered the plain outside the city gates.

These soldiers were all wearing armor, holding Changge in their hands and carrying Qin crossbows on their backs, just by looking at them, they all made people's hearts shake.

The war had already broken out completely, and because he was not there just now, he missed the first opportunity, so that some Qin soldiers were killed on the city wall. It's a hard fight.

The city gate was blocked, and countless Qin soldiers were surrounding it, attacking the city gate.

There were soldiers from the Mauryan Empire in the city, rushing from the barracks to support, and many of them didn't even have time to put on their clothes, apparently, they were sleeping just now.

All this happened so suddenly, it was just a stick of incense.

"Damn, how did these Qin soldiers fight here, it's the Himalayas over there, can the Qin soldiers really fly?"

After seeing the situation on the battlefield clearly, the city lord was in a slightly stable mood, raised his hand and took the map next to him, staring at the Himalayas, his face full of incredulity.

After the arrival of the later generations of travelers, they brought a map of the world and the distribution of mountains and rivers, so the ancients knew all kinds of mountains well, and they were not much different.

It was because of this that he let his guard down.

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and transfer people from the barracks, how many are transferred, hurry up!"

The castle lord roared like crazy.

Turning his head, he looked out of the city, wanting to find the leader of the Qin soldiers, capture the thief and capture the king first, but soon he was disappointed, there were too many figures, and he didn't know where the other party's general was.

At this moment, Wang Jian was standing on the chariot, and he was almost 100% sure that the Peacock Dynasty did not show weakness to the enemy, but really did not defend, and his face was full of lightness.

But deep in his eyes, there is still a trace of doubt.

The battle was so smooth that it made him wonder if it would be a delusion.

Rong Ma has experienced countless battles in his life, and he has extremely rich combat experience, but it is really the first time to fight this kind of slaughter battle.

Not only him, but even many soldiers on the front line were dumbfounded.

After being stunned, there was ecstasy.

This is almost no different from picking up military exploits directly on the ground.

As a result, at the beginning, many Qin soldiers were still beaten, but in the end, they completely let go of their hands and feet, screaming in their mouths, and rushed to the front line.

"This time, due to the long distance, I didn't bring a bed crossbow and engineering vehicles, I thought it would be a waste of effort, but I didn't expect it to be surprisingly smooth."

Wang Jian took paper and a pen, recorded the process of this battle on it, highlighted the strength of the Peacock Empire, and then waved his hand to order people to come over and send them back to Great Qin.

Every major battle needs to be reported in a timely manner, this is the rule.

Although the First Emperor never cared, claiming that he would be able to arrange all the plans on his own, the rules could not be broken.

After two hours, the advantage of the Qin soldiers gradually slowed down, and the soldiers in the Mauryan Dynasty camp all came to their senses.

After the advent of the national battle system, the physique of the Qin soldiers increased by a total of 118%.

The Peacock Dynasty is 90%, which is thirty points less than the Qin soldiers, but it will not be defeated so quickly, and it can be regarded as barely having the strength to fight.

Call!

The lord of Kashubi stood on the wall and let out a long sigh.

Within two hours, the Mauryan Empire had paid for the lives of nearly 100,000 soldiers, but the situation was finally stabilized.

But soon, he became nervous again.

As time passed, the belligerent superiority of the Qin soldiers gradually emerged.

"Qin Bing is really crazy, it's the same as not dying, every time he makes a move, he is exchanging injuries for injuries, we are not opponents."

"The Qin soldiers are extremely well-equipped, and there are only 300,000 people in our city who have iron equipment, which is completely unmatched."

The two lieutenant generals came to the city lord and shouted loudly in horror.

The reason why I had the illusion of being equal to the Qin soldiers just now was because there were too many people who died in the Peacock Dynasty, and the corpses blocked the attack of the Great Qin soldiers.

When the Qin soldiers cleaned up the stumbling corpses on the road, the situation turned one-sided again.

"What are you panicking, we are fighting at home, Qin soldiers are fighting away, the advantage is ours, it is Qin soldiers who should be panicked!" The city lord pretended to be calm and roared.

At this time, you must not be the first to panic.

"Pass my order, immediately ask Ashoka for help, and send someone quickly." As if he remembered something, the city lord said sharply.

Just now, because the war broke out so suddenly, he panicked for a moment.

"Lord of the city, it is said that Emperor Ashoka is dispatching troops and planning big things, and we are asking for help at this time." The soldier next to him stood up and hesitated to speak.

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped in the face.

The city lord scolded and said, "Don't you see how many Qin soldiers there are, can we stop it?" ”

"By the way, to prevent the Qin soldiers from sending people to kill the scouts, and directly send me 10,000 people to ask for help, I want to see if the Qin soldiers can stop them all."

He grabbed the soldier who was about to leave, and said.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth raised to reveal a sneer, but he wanted to see if Qin Bing could besiege everyone here.

It doesn't matter why Qin Bing appeared, even if it is figured out, it doesn't matter if it is won or lost in this war.

As for why they didn't receive the news in advance, it is easy to guess that Qin Bing must have wiped out several villages on the road to prevent the leakage of the news.

Between Daqin and the Himalayas, due to the barren land and snow all year round, there are no large tribes, only a few hundred small villages, and it is normal that Daqin cannot be stopped.

"The Qin soldiers are really ruthless, they actually wiped out all the hundreds of thousands of people of my Peacock Dynasty, these bastards who should kill a thousand knives." The city lord clenched his fists, and there was resentment in his eyes.

Of course, it's more about worrying.

I have heard a long time ago that the Qin soldiers are brave and have extremely strong individual combat ability.

"General don't worry, there are many soldiers in the city, and we also have the most advanced iron-smelting technology, so these Qin soldiers can't pose a threat to us."

The deputy city lord stood beside him and whispered comfortingly.

"Hope."

The city lord said absent-mindedly.

Airplanes!

Before he could finish speaking, a crossbow arrow flew past his scalp, bringing out a patch of blood from his face, which made him tremble and hurriedly take several steps backwards.

"Hehe, that's what you said no need to worry? What are you waiting for, send troops, hurry up and send troops, let Qin soldiers see the crossbow arrows created by my Peacock Dynasty! ”

The city lord's heart suddenly became angry.

Some frightened bent down and picked up the crossbow arrows that had fallen on the ground, and they were just close to killing him! Looking at such a superb arrow, there was a slight silence.

Although they are both iron tools, the iron tools of the Qin soldiers are very different from the iron tools they invented.

Qin Bing's craftsmanship is too sophisticated, and with the same materials, the Peacock Dynasty is far behind.

According to his estimates, there is more than one version behind......

Fortunately, Kashu City is large enough to stretch the battle line, and coupled with the large population in the city, it is not afraid of being destroyed in a short time.

The biggest feature of the Mauryan Dynasty is that it has a large number of people and a large city.

After Emperor Ashoka sent a large army to arrive, he could also attack inside and outside to destroy Great Qin.

"What's the matter, my Peacock Dynasty is full of people, I don't believe it, and I can't use human lives to pile up victory." The city lord said viciously.

At this moment, the soldier who had been the first to report to him ran over in a panic.

The city lord glanced at him, suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth, and said, "I hope you can bring me good news this time. ”

"This ......"

The soldier froze in place, hesitation on his face, not knowing what to say.

"Waste stuff hurry up and say, what's going on." The city lord was shocked, and it was obvious from the soldiers' faces that it would not be good news.

The soldier secretly swallowed his saliva, carefully handed over the secret letter in his hand, and said, "Lord City, roughly estimated, there are more than one million troops from Great Qin. ”

What!

The city lord was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of incredulity.

As if crazy, he snatched the secret letter away, opened it with trembling hands, and looked at it word by word.

After a few minutes, his face turned extremely pale, and his whole body felt like falling into an ice cave.

In any case, he never expected that Great Qin would actually send more than a million people.

"If it were only a small number of people and horses, it would have been possible to cross the Himalayas, but nearly a million people had crossed that mountain, how could this be possible?"

The city lord secretly swallowed his saliva, his face was full of dazed, uncontrollable foul language.

There is another possibility.

It's just that.

Some don't dare to think in that direction.

Although I don't know what the specific strength of Daqin is, since he can cross the Himalayas, it means that his strength is extremely terrifying!

"My city of Kashubi claims to be an army of three million, but there are only 500,000 elite soldiers among them, and the remaining 2.5 million people are militiamen, and the equipment they wear is only the most ordinary bronze ware."

The city lord was originally in a very good mood, but after a little pondering, his heart completely sank to the bottom.

I didn't expect the gap between me and Daqin to be so big.

The Qin soldiers were brave, well-equipped, and had a high will to fight

"I'm ......"

The city lord's face trembled, his fist clenched, and he punched forward.

My heart was full of sorrow, and I didn't know what to do.

It will not be defeated in a short period of time, the entire city has a population of nearly 10 million, even if it is 10 million pigs, it will not be able to be killed in a short time, but you must think about the next countermeasures, as well as where this battle will break through.

After a few minutes, he was so desperate that he couldn't figure out how to break the game.

In the past, when he heard people mention how amazing and extraordinary the Qin soldiers were, he scoffed at them, thinking that it was a trick to spread fraud, no matter how strong they were, how strong could they be, and at this moment he realized that the Qin soldiers were really strong, so strong that people couldn't afford to fight a war.

"The prepared peacock crossbow, as well as the peacock bed crossbow, are all carried out for me, even if all the foundation in the city is consumed, you must stop the Qin soldiers."

The city lord clenched his fists and kept cheering himself up in his heart.

It's not that he didn't think about escaping, but as the city lord, he is too dazzling, and the ghost knows how many Qin soldiers are staring at him in the dark, and once he escapes, he will definitely be attacked by a group.

And he doesn't think that with the more than 10 million people in his hands, there is no chance to turn defeat into victory.

Rumble!

The war entered a white-hot state, and the Qin soldiers and the Mauryan Empire began to meet each other in short arms.

Time passed quickly, three hours later, the Qin soldiers broke through the city gate and entered the city, and many people of the Peacock Dynasty had no choice but to pick up wooden sticks or something to join the battlefield.

If they don't resist, they won't be alive.

After these ordinary people exchanged their lives, the situation of the war stabilized slightly, and with the advantage of numbers, they resisted the attack of the Qin soldiers.

The sky is bright.

The Qin soldiers retreated from the city, retreated ten miles away, and entered a state of rest.

After a night of fighting, everyone was exhausted, and although they could continue to force the battle, Wang Jian was unwilling to cause unnecessary casualties.

The news of this place has already spread, and there is no need to rush at this moment.

Rather than winning faster, he cares more about the casualties of his soldiers.

"General, we probably lost more than 30,000 brothers in this battle, the Mauryan Empire lost more than 700,000, of which 100,000 were soldiers, and the remaining 600,000 were people in the city, and more than one million were wounded."

The partial general Wang Ping came to the side of the battlefield and said respectfully.
