Chapter 151: The Old Qin People Annihilated a City in One Night
Wang Jian was holding the map in his hand, pondering how to continue this battle.
At this moment, we are facing a very serious problem, that is, there are too many enemy troops, and 10 million pigs cannot be killed for a while and a half, let alone people.
Daqin is fighting away, and the advantage is not big, so it must not be delayed.
He had sent some scouts to make sure there were no ambushes around, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, and accidents could happen at any time.
"Have you lost so many people?"
Wang Jian frowned slightly.
I thought that if I died, I would only die one or two hundred thousand people, but I didn't expect it to double.
"There are too many people on the other side, often more than a dozen soldiers hunt our soldiers, and the opponent's body has been systematically amplified, and the defense has been enhanced."
Wang Ping said helplessly.
"Is there enough poison this time?" Wang Jian said coldly.
The easiest way is naturally to poison all the people in a city, which can greatly reduce the time.
"It's not enough, it's impossible to poison so many people."
Wang Ping stretched out his hand and scratched his head.
No one expected that the Mauryan Empire would have such a large population.
Moreover, Great Qin's attack on the Mauryan Dynasty was a blitzkrieg, which would not be delayed for too long, and the poison worked very slowly, and the effect it could play was extremely limited.
"Prepare some combustibles or something, find a way to attack the fire, and then use up all the poison you brought, and kill a group of people before anything else." Wang Jian thought for a moment and then ordered.
Vile?
Perhaps, but war has always been like this, and there has never been a word of meanness and meanness.
Besides, the other party is a barbarian, not even a human, so there is no need to talk about the rules.
"General, before we set out on the expedition, Master Zhang reminded him several times that we must leave him some more slaves." Wang Ping said faintly.
If Zhang Han is here, he will definitely die of pain.
These were all high-class slaves, and for every one who died, there was one less.
"What are you afraid of, the title of the Mauryan Dynasty is enough to produce a steady stream of slaves, enough for him." Wang Jian said casually, his face full of strange expressions.
Throughout the ages, I am afraid that Zhang Han is the only one who is reluctant to be a slave.
"By the way, deliberately open a gap to give the enemy a chance to escape, thus disturbing their morale." He continued to speak to the soldiers next to him.
After all this is done, bring a pillow and rest on the chariot without saying a word.
I didn't fight last night, but I was tired and desperately needed to rest, and as the commander-in-chief, I was the brain of the whole army, and I had to keep my spirit at full strength.
At this moment, the lord of Kashubi City dragged his tired body and ran back and forth on the city wall.
It took a great deal of money to get this moment of respite, he couldn't rest, he had to arrange everything and determine the next layout.
However, when he heard about the attrition caused by this battle, his whole face was completely dead.
"700,000 people died in battle, 300,000 people bleed too much, nearly a million, nearly a million, how is it possible, a million people died overnight?" The city lord gasped.
Later generations of time-travelers have brought advanced medical technology, but theory is one thing, and theory and practice are another, and it is impossible to popularize basic medical care in just one year.
Don't talk about hemostatic drugs here, not even hemostatic bandages.
Except for some herbs dug in the mountains, it was completely carried by the perseverance of the soldiers.
"Lord City, what can we do, if we continue like this, we will definitely lose, there is no possibility of turning over, and when the Qin soldiers rest, they will definitely launch a sprint again, and every time we sprint, we will pay a huge price."
The general of the City Lord's Mansion stood beside him, looking at the Qin soldiers who were encamped in the distance in horror.
I also thought about taking this opportunity to sneak attack and disrupt Great Qin's plan, but the price they paid in this battle was more than that of Great Qin, and they needed to rest more urgently.
Moreover, at this time, sending out soldiers is completely equivalent to sending them to death, and it is impossible to achieve the purpose of harassing the Qin soldiers, rather than this, it is better to reduce casualties.
"Did the spies who went to ask for reinforcements send out, did they spread the news to the Peacock Imperial City?" The lord sat weakly on the ground, his hands clutching his messy hair.
The whole person is like a ball out of breath, trying to lift his spirits, but he can't get back to his state no matter what, this feeling can almost drive people crazy.
"Lord Hui, I have already sent someone to ask for help, Daqin deliberately let go of a gap, as if he is not afraid of the news of this place leaking out." The soldier immediately spoke.
After the city lord was stunned for a moment, he quickly reacted, "It's not that Qin Bing is not afraid of the news leaking out, but they are helpless, because they know that they can't stop so many people, and they deliberately let go of a gap in order to disturb our mentality." ”
knew that Qin Bing was doing it on purpose, but he was helpless.
Fortunately, the war has just begun, and the morale of the people has not yet been broken.
But it can be expected that as time passes, someone will inevitably start running away.
"Pass my order, send an army, plug the gap, no matter what, you can't mess up morale, this battle can only be won and not lost, even if everyone dies here, you must not escape."
The city lord clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said categorically.
Secretly, since the city lord can't leave, then you definitely can't leave!
Yesterday, I wanted to take the opportunity to leave several times, but I keenly found that there were several eyes on him in the dark, and as long as he dared to leave the city wall, he would definitely be assassinated.
Just as a few people were talking, the location at the gate of the city suddenly burst into flames.
"What!"
The city lord didn't have time to rest, so he quickly stood up and looked under the city wall, where there was a team of Qin soldiers, holding oil and various combustibles in their hands, setting fire to the city.
"Let them burn it, such a small fire won't make much difference."
Seeing that it was not the army attacking, he let out a long breath, and a sneer appeared in his eyes.
The city covers an area of nearly 1,000 miles, and if you want to burn it with fire, isn't it an idiot?
"City Lord, we have investigated clearly, the other general's name is Wang Qian, and he is a famous general in Great Qin."
A soldier ran down from under the city wall and spoke in horror.
During these days, the Peacock Dynasty was naturally not idle, and while deploying troops and developing science and technology, it has also been investigating the details of Great Qin.
One of them is named Wang Qian, and his name is like thunder.
"This is the person?" The city lord was slightly stunned, and his eyes showed surprise.
There was no horror in the depths of his eyes, but a hint of thought.
If you kill this person.
You can definitely get a reward, and then you will be knighted!
Moreover, as far as he knew, Meng Tian, another general of Great Qin, had been besieged in the Baicheng Dynasty, and if he could kill Meng Tian and Wang Jian at the same time, it would be equivalent to cutting off Qin Shi Huang's right-hand man, which could greatly weaken Great Qin's strength.
It plays an extremely important role in the final battle.
"Pass my order, whoever can win the head of Wang Jian with a reward of ten million, and reward him with the youngest daughter of the lord of this city, from now on, get up and sit with me, and in addition, I will speak well for him in front of Ashoka!"
After the city lord figured out all this, he didn't hesitate, waved his hand, and said decisively.
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men!
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the surrounding soldiers suddenly lit up.
The youngest daughter of the city lord has a graceful figure, she is a rare beauty, who doesn't want to get it?
Not to mention that there is still a chance to sit on an equal footing with the city lord, it is simply a chicken dog ascending to heaven, and immediately, the soldiers did not care about resting, and screamed and went towards Daqin's military camp.
A smile appeared on the face of the city lord, and the banter in his eyes was well hidden.
It's a pity that these people went fast and died quickly, and in just a few moments, nearly a thousand people fell in a pool of blood, losing their lives, and they couldn't pose a threat to the Qin soldiers at all.
Stimulated by death, the soldiers of the Mauryan Empire woke up one after another, and no one dared to step forward.
Next.
The sky was bright.
The city lord opened his eyes with difficulty, and for some reason, he felt that his brain was a little groggy.
At first, I didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it should be too tired, but when I inadvertently found that all the people around me were like this, and I was dizzy for a while when I stood up, and it was difficult to walk in a straight line, I felt a pang in my heart, and a bad premonition rose.
Quickly picked up the knife and stabbed it into the palm of the guard next to him without hesitation.
Yes!
The sharp stinging pain made the guards instantly regain their clarity.
"Go quickly, bring a basin of cold water for General Ben!" The city lord shouted with difficulty.
After the soldier fetched the ice water, he plunged his head into the water and slowly recovered.
Without waiting to speak, he suddenly found that there was a piercing shout of killing under the city.
Immediately got up from the ground, staggered to the city wall, looked down, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes were instantly split.
"Damn, who can tell General Ben what happened and why the Qin soldiers attacked him?"
The city lord's face was full of sluggishness.
The head was still in standby, and it didn't react for a while.
"Lord Castle, we've been in a coma for nearly three hours!"
"These Qin soldiers are so despicable that they released a coma-causing drug under the cover of the smoke from the flames, and all the guards on the city wall fell into a coma."
The general woke everyone up one by one and exclaimed.
The city lord's face sank, he didn't care about saying anything, and he was just about to open his mouth to give an order, but he found that the soldiers at the city gate already looked black and poisonous.
Obviously, Daqin used not just one poison, but several at the same time.
"The Qin soldiers are so strong, but they are still so shameless, they are really hateful, quickly pass on my orders to fight to the death, and you have to resist them!" The city lord roared angrily.
However, when he turned his head to look in the direction of the city, he was completely dumbfounded.
Originally, although a war broke out outside the city, everything was peaceful except for the tense atmosphere in the city, but at this moment, there was a war in the city, and I don't know how many Qin soldiers killed along the city gate.
As far as the eye could see, there were corpses everywhere, and the sky was slightly red with blood.
Every time I took a deep breath, I only felt a lot of blood burrowing into my nose.
"In one day, in just one day, the Qin army broke through the defenses of my Peacock Empire?" The city lord raised his head in a daze, and looked at the steel torrent in the distance in disbelief.
Faintly, I saw a huge Xuanyao battle flag.
Under the Xuanniao battle flag, there is a chariot, which is protected by everyone.
On the chariot, there was a black figure, due to the distance was too far, I couldn't see the appearance of this person, but I guessed that this should be the legendary Great Qin God of War Wang Qian.
At this moment, I thought of a lot, a lot in my heart, thought of the Mauryan Dynasty, thought of the result of this battle, and my mind was in a mess.
For some reason, there was a faint premonition that perhaps, the Mauryan Dynasty would lose this battle.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, my Peacock Dynasty has nearly 100 million people, and I have also obtained the title of reproduction, how can he talk about Daqin and my Peacock Dynasty?" The city lord's eyes turned red in an instant.
In any case, he could not accept the result of this defeat.
After taking a deep breath, he managed to regain some composure and continued to stand on the city wall and command, but as time passed, a heart completely sank to the bottom.
The combat power of the Qin soldiers is too strong, almost invincible.
This is still the result of a 90% increase in the physique of the soldiers of the Peacock Dynasty, if there is no increase, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of Great Qin.
Nearly five hours later, the city was completely breached.
Bang!
Half of the city wall was bulldozed by the Qin soldiers.
"Damn, why did the walls crack so easily?" A hint of incredulity flashed in the city lord's eyes, as if he was looking at the devil, looking at the Qin soldiers in front of him.
This is a city wall made of reinforced concrete and earth, not ordinary stone.
"Stupid, I don't even know that cracks will occur when the stone encounters water under high temperatures, is the traveler of your country illiterate?"
A contemptuous voice sounded, and the city lord was slightly shocked, and suddenly found that a soldier in inky black armor was directly killing in his direction.
What is not recorded in the history books is that ordinary soldiers in Daqin do not need to study, but the soldiers above the commander of a thousand commanders must participate in the assessment every year, and if they fail to pass the assessment, they will be demoted.
After the opening of the national war system, it involved the study of a variety of disciplines.
It is no exaggeration to say that each of these commanders and commanders of Daqin is no less than the education level of high school students.
"Stop him, hurry up and stop him for me, what bullshit high temperature and shit low temperature." The castle lord's legs weakened and he fell to the ground in fright, but this also allowed him to dodge the fatal blow.
The soldiers next to him quickly stepped forward and surrounded him to protect him.
Under the city wall, a steady stream of Qin soldiers appeared, and they couldn't finish killing.
The city was in flames, a scene of the end of the world.
It stands to reason that a battle that affects tens of millions of people cannot end so hastily, but the problem is that the Mauryan Empire is really too weak.
The number of participants in this war seems to exceed 10 million, but when the battle is full, it is only 3 million.
Most of the people in the city are ordinary people, and these people are wastes to say that they are ugly before the advent of the national war system, and their strength is naturally not comparable to that of the Qin soldiers.
The physique has indeed been enhanced, but combat experience, adaptability, these are the decisive factors.
"This time, my Great Qin sent two million soldiers, two million, it's not an exaggeration to say that it was pouring out, what qualifications does his little Peacock Dynasty have to resist?"
Wang Jian stood on the chariot, his deep gaze looked into the distance, although Great Qin had won an overwhelming victory, but the depths of his eyes were still full of vigilance.
As long as the moment is not over, accidents may happen in the moment, this is the lesson of blood.
As for why the siege was successful so quickly, it was naturally because of the poison.
First, he used smell poison to stun the city lord on the city wall, so that people could not react in time, and then used lethal drugs to poison the soldiers at the city gate, and then broke down the city gate and drove the army straight in.
It's not that I don't want to take the opportunity to kill the city lord, but there are countless people guarding under the city walls, and I won't be able to kill him for a while.
Poisons have a limited range of action and cannot reach a wide range of people.
And the deadly poisons, almost all of them have to see blood, and they have no choice but to be stunned.
"General Chuanben ordered, the whole army attacked, there is no need to leave a living mouth, and directly open the killing ring, kill as many as you can, but remember to minimize our casualties."
Wang Jian waved his hand lightly and ordered at the soldiers behind him.
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the millions of logistics soldiers behind him lit up directly, and they rushed to the battlefield with a scream after picking up the weapons next to them.
These people have almost never been on the battlefield, so in this epic battle, Wang Jian did not rush to let them go, but waited until now.
At the end of the war, it was just the right time to go up and practice your hands.
Great Qin has a precise rule for this part of the recruits, they can only get 70% of the military merits, because after going to the battlefield, there will be much less danger.
After all, if the beginning and the end are the same, and the military merits are the same, then who wants to fight hard ahead?
"Pass my order to go down, retreat, just abandon the city and flee There is still some life, if you continue to stay here, I am afraid that there is really no life."
The city lord stood on the city wall, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his expression.
I didn't expect that the first war between Great Qin and the Mauryan Dynasty would break out here, and it was defeated, and it was so completely defeated.
"General, if we abandon the city and flee, Ashoka will surely be angry when he learns the news."
"Yes, if we leave at this time, we will really be deserters."
The subordinates next to him spoke up one after another.
Both in Daqin and in the West, the punishment for deserters was extremely severe.
"It's going to end badly as a deserter, but it's better than dying here."
The city lord sighed, and for a moment it seemed to be dozens of years old.
My heart was full of chagrin, if I hadn't eaten and waited for death before, but trained soldiers every day, it would definitely not have been like this.
"City Lord, I don't think we need to flee at this time, but should release false news and tell the soldiers in the city that reinforcements are coming to fight to the death with Great Qin." Someone spoke.
"I also think that we should stay, the Qin soldiers have one of their biggest weaknesses, that is, they are isolated, they can't afford to drag on this war, as long as it drags on, the greater our advantage."
As more and more people came forward, helplessness appeared on the city lord's face.
Consume the strength of the Qin army as much as possible and buy time for other cities to deal with it, how could he not know such a simple truth?
But here's the problem
He wants to run away!
He is not a fool, he knows that if he stays here, eighty percent will die.
I finally got mixed into this position, I don't know how much gold was enshrined, and my ass had to die before it was hot, and no one wanted to put it alone!
