It is true that the city has a large population, but there is no quality in terms of quantity alone, even if you stay here and fight to the death, I am afraid that you will not be able to consume much of Great Qin's strength, but may become cannon fodder.

On the first day, Great Qin wiped out nearly 700,000 people of the Mauryan Empire.

The next day, a million were wiped out.

Hold on for another ten days and a half at most, and everything will be over, for the great ancient, half a month is really nothing, not enough to change the situation of the battle.

"But have you ever thought about it, if everyone escapes and arrives safely in the next city, then they can join forces and better deal with Great Qin."

"I have no will, there is no need to continue to persuade me, destroy all the grain, grass and fresh water in the city, and never leave it to the Qin soldiers."

After taking a few breaths, the city lord said categorically.

Several generals next to him saw the murderous eyes of the city lord, but they still gritted their teeth and said, "Lord of the city, if we escape, the morale of the people in other cities will definitely decline. ”

There are many factors that affect a war, and morale plays an extremely important role.

"In this way, I will take some people to pretend to flee to attract the firepower of the Qin soldiers, and then you will defend the city and launch an attack when you find a suitable opportunity."

The city lord's eyes rolled, and he pretended to be righteous and said awe-inspiringly.

In his heart, he secretly sneered, a group of idiots stayed here so resolutely and waited for death.

"The city lord is righteous! In that case, it would be disrespectful for us to wait. ”

Everyone nodded their heads with admiration on their faces.

The city lord did not hesitate, after arranging everything, he took a dozen of his henchmen with him, and then found a carriage and escaped through the gap that Daqin deliberately let go.

However, he didn't ride in the car himself, and even took off all the clothes on his body and pretended to be an ordinary person.

When he escaped the encirclement of the Qin soldiers and was about to leave Kashubi City in the crowd, he let out a long sigh in his heart.

However.

The next moment, it was instantly petrified in place.

"City Lord, don't go, wait for us, the brothers are still here!"

it?

The city lord was stunned, turned his head to look at the group of people standing on the city wall, who were pointing at him, a trace of dazedness flashed in his eyes, and a thick sense of incredulity.

Originally, he wanted this group of people to stay and block the Qin soldiers behind him, thus creating an opportunity, but he didn't expect that he would become the one who attracted firepower instead.

The Qin soldiers who had originally let him go, their eyes turned red in an instant, and after throwing grateful glances at everyone on the city wall, they killed him like a wolf seeing meat.

"Sabi!"

The city lord stared at the soldier on the city wall who was shouting, greeted his whole family ten thousand times in his heart, and then turned his head and ran away without caring about anything else.

But how could his speed be faster than those Qin soldiers who had been in a hundred battles, and in just half an hour, he was caught up by the Qin soldiers and cut to the ground.

This is still because of the large number of people on the road, and many people of the Peacock Dynasty blocked the footsteps of the Qin soldiers for him, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even be able to hold on for half an hour.

Burst!

The sharp Changge slashed across the city lord's neck, knocking his entire head to the ground, and a Qin soldier snatched his head from it, and a hearty laugh came out of his mouth.

The other soldiers looked at them with envy on their faces, and then turned around and returned to the battlefield to hunt down the soldiers who had fled in all directions.

I have lived for most of my life, and it is the first time I have seen it, and I will naturally not miss the opportunity to obtain military merits so easily.

This pursuit, that is, nearly two hundred miles, almost two days of pursuit, after most of the soldiers of the Peacock Dynasty were destroyed, the Qin soldiers reluctantly stopped.

After the farce just now, the war has almost tilted in the direction of Great Qin, and only the part of the city that has been given to the recalcitrant soldiers remains.

Wang Jian did not rush to order the soldiers to launch a general attack, but ordered the soldiers to retreat and rest first.

The siege battle the day before yesterday, coupled with the pursuit of these two days, for nearly three days, many of the Qin soldiers were directly tired.

There was also a group of people left before, so that they would not be attacked during the break.

The Qin soldiers recovered quickly, and after half a day, they all crawled out of the camp one by one in good spirits, staring at the military exploits on the city wall with burning eyes.

These military exploits can actually speak!

"Hehe, do you want to continue to resist, there are only a few million people in Lingcheng now, it's better to hurry up and arrest you, and I can spare your lives?"

Wang Ping took the lead, standing under the city wall, and a faint voice sounded.

"If you Daqin have the ability, you can naturally get in, why continue to waste your tongue here?"

Several generals glanced at each other, and there was a look of determination in their eyes.

Secretly said, even the city lord has been sacrificed, how can he and others be greedy for life and afraid of death?

Wang Jian gave an order, and the Qin soldiers did not hesitate, one by one screamed, and crossed the city wall to kill in.

Three days ago, the city wall had been breached, and a ball of nearly ten meters appeared, which became the avenue of Daqin, and it entered the city without pressure.

The people and soldiers in the city who had not yet had time to flee tried their best to resist, but how could they be the opponents of the Qin army.

Seven days later, the war ended.

Wang Ping took the lead in leading people into the city, and searched the entire city inside and out to make sure that no assassins remained, and then came to the outside of the city and led Wang Jian into the city.

"It's over."

Wang Jian entered the city, stepped on the city wall, put his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance.

I can't help but be in a trance, I didn't expect the victory to come so quickly, this battle from the beginning to the end, it only took about half a month, faster than an ordinary war.

"General, our side has a total of 100,000 killed and 200,000 wounded, there are 14 million people in the city of the Peacock Dynasty, nearly 5 million people have been beheaded, and the rest have run away."

After Wang Ping counted the data, he trotted all the way to Wang Jian and whispered.

There was a slight silence when the number was spoken.

This part of the brothers who died in battle is destined to stay here forever.

"Burn the corpse, keep the ashes, and order people to send them back to Daqin, and be sure to let them return to their roots." Wang Jian patted him on the shoulder and spoke comfortingly.

Rong Ma has fought for decades in his life, and he is used to seeing too many lives and deaths, so that now, although he feels uncomfortable, he will not show it.

"Let's go, let's see our loot."

From the outside, except for the city wall, everything else in the Peacock Dynasty is very normal, only after entering the city, will you understand what it means to lose the golden flocculation.

There are many earthen houses in the huge city.

The cement and steel buildings in the city cannot even reach one-tenth of it.

Moreover, there are only a dozen blast furnaces and iron-making platforms for ironmaking.

"Could it be that the other party damaged or took it away, otherwise how could there be only so much?" Wang Jian looked at the poor iron platform in front of him, and couldn't help but have black lines in his head.

Even when the Great Qin Shaofu was at its most depressed, there were hundreds of blast furnaces.

It is no exaggeration to say that this giant city can't even compare to a county in Daqin!

"General, the equipment of the brothers has been damaged to varying degrees, and there is not even raw ore in the enemy's treasury, and if you want to completely repair it, I am afraid it will take a long time." Wang Ping stood beside him, his face full of helplessness.

Before the war, he also prayed that the Mauryan Empire's iron-smelting technology would be a little behind.

I didn't expect that I would fall behind to such a point.

No, this cannot be said to be backward, and it is not an exaggeration to call it primitive.

"General, let's continue the battle, although the equipment is damaged, it can still be used, and we must not waste time." The general stood up and said excitedly.

Wang Jian thought for a moment, shook his head after a moment, and ordered without question.

"Tell me to go down and set up camp here, and at dawn tomorrow let people go around in search of iron mines, and there are not tens of thousands of slaves in the city? Let them go to the mines, and they must not go to the battlefield until the equipment is repaired. ”

It's not that he doesn't understand the truth of the speed of soldiers, and continuing to go out at this time can definitely deal a fatal blow to the Peacock Dynasty.

But under no circumstances should soldiers be allowed to go into battle wearing damaged armor.

This will increase casualties.

Although the soldiers couldn't wait to get military merit, they could only accept it when they saw Wang Jian say this.

"General, there is also bad news, before these people of the Peacock Dynasty died, they destroyed all the grain, grass and fresh water in the city, and they could not continue to use it, and the grain and grass they carried on their bodies were probably enough to last for two months."

Wang Ping acted quickly and quickly counted the available resources.

When starting from Daqin, the food he carried was naturally sufficient, and there were millions of logistics soldiers to supply, but the problem was that the consumption along the way was not insignificant.

The original plan was to feed the war with war, while attacking the Mauryan Dynasty, while plundering their grain and grass as much as possible, I didn't expect these people to be so decisive.

"Two months is enough, and while you are encamping here, send out your soldiers to plunder the surrounding villages, and remember to withhold the slaves' food so that they can eat for a while longer."

Wang Jian picked up the secret letter and read it for a while, then opened his mouth and commanded.

There are two or three hundred thousand slaves in the city, and with so many mouths to eat, the loss is naturally large.

As for mining, one day is enough, not to live here for a long time, but to need some raw materials and repair the equipment on your body.

Wang Ping said respectfully, closed the door and left.

Wang Jian sat in the study, took out the world map, and looked at it carefully.

Nine hundred miles away from the city of Kashubi, in front of the left and in front of the right, there are two giant cities.

They are the cities of Allahaba and Mathura.

The population of these two cities is a little smaller than here, with about 10 million people each.

When the news spreads, if the two sides join forces, plus those who fled from the city of Kashubi, it means that the total population will exceed 20 million.

"This battle is too smooth, there is almost no decent resistance, most of the city is militia, the regular army is only 500,000, the Mauryan Dynasty claims to be 5 million troops, is it a rumor or something else?"

Wang Jian stood up again, took the secret letter next to him, and watched it word by word.

The history of the Mauryan Dynasty is very fake, but after this year's development, it is impossible for the Mauryan Dynasty to stand still.

For example, Great Qin originally had only nearly two million soldiers, but after the advent of the national war system, the people's physique increased, making the total number of soldiers almost four million.

With the population base of the Mauryan Empire, it is not difficult to double the number of soldiers.

"Wang Ping, have you caught any important people in the Peacock Dynasty, or in the city lord's mansion, have you left any letters or something?"

The more Wang Jian thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and immediately pushed the door and walked out, shouting loudly at Wang Ping, who was in the side hall next to him, sorting out materials.

As a manager, you have to see all the details and never miss anything.

Once something goes wrong, the two million Qin soldiers behind him will all suffer a catastrophe.

"General, I just want to tell you that I just found a secret letter, Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty, transferred a group of elite soldiers three months ago, the number of which is nearly one million."

Wang Ping held a letter in his hand and immediately whispered.

"Doesn't that mean that the city originally had an army of 1.5 million?" Wang Jian raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

After taking the letter and reading it a few times, I knew it in my heart.

"It seems that the Mauryan Empire should be brewing something, a conspiracy that I don't know about."

Wang Jian ordered someone to bring a map of the world, and kept looking back and forth at the border between the Peacock Empire and Great Qin.

There were two roads from Great Qin to the Mauryan Empire.

When they came, they walked in the Himalayas and did not encounter anything along the way, which means that if the Mauryan Empire wanted to attack Daqin, it would have to take the road of the Khmer State and take a detour.

"The Mauryan Dynasty went around to the Khmer Kingdom to attack my Great Qin, it will take at least a year, and it is absolutely impossible for Emperor Ashoka to give such an order." Wang Jian frowned and shook his head in a whisper.

Because the detour was too far, I chose this route.

If the shopping cart wants to attack Daqin, it will definitely be the same.

Then there is only one answer, the goal of the Mauryan Empire. It's not Daqin.

"If Emperor Ashoka doesn't attack Great Qin, where else can he attack, do you want to attack the Rest Empire?"

Wang Jian frowned, and thought coldly.

At first, he thought the idea was a bit funny, but when he thought about it, it was really possible.

Emperor Ashoka is not a fool, he knows how strong Great Qin is now, and the Mauryan Dynasty has tried its best to mobilize the country, but it is not necessarily the opponent of Great Qin, so he naturally does not dare to go to war.

"If that's the case, the other cities will probably be drained." Wang Jian thought for a moment, but finally shook his head and did not let the soldiers set off immediately.

It's better to be cautious, there is no need to take risks.

"Send some eyeliner around to prevent the enemy from killing us, and remember to bring more people when you go out to find rough iron ore."

After Wang Jian arranged everything, he picked up the secret letter on the table, returned to the study and began to study it carefully.

Through the secret letter, it can be deduced that many secrets and basic national strength of the Mauryan Dynasty will be of great benefit to the next conquest.

……

It didn't take long for the news to spread.

When they first learned the news, many people thought it was a rumor, how could Great Qin attack the Peacock Dynasty, winter had just ended, and even if Great Qin could fly, it would be impossible to fly over.

But soon, the matter was confirmed, and the world was in an uproar.

:, what happened, Great Qin really attacked the Peacock Dynasty

: It is said that Daqin mobilized a million soldiers this time, all of whom were elite soldiers, and this was for the life of the Mauryan Dynasty

: Since the troops are dispatched, how can there be any reason to scare, there is a high probability that it will be a national war, and Daqin will not say that it will come out, and it will not be much worse

: It is said that the city of Kashubi of the Mauryan Dynasty has been slaughtered, and nearly five million Indians have died

: The person who led the troops to the expedition of Daqin this time is named Wang Qian, who is one of the two great war gods of Daqin, this person is a famous person, who can not be afraid?

:Wait a minute! Doesn't this mean that the Qin soldiers crossed the Himalayas when the snow closed the mountain? It's terrifying, isn't it?

After netizens learned the news, they were no longer calm and completely shocked.

The shock was followed by a deep fear.

If Great Qin can attack the Peacock Empire, that means that it can also attack other forces!

Everyone was afraid that Wang Jian would turn the gun and hit his side.

But the most worrying thing is the reward after the Great Qin destroyed the Peacock Dynasty, there are nearly two billion people in India, and the devil knows how far the reward will go.

Council Chamber.

The old table sat in front of the table, staring at the news on the screen, his pupils contracted slightly, and although his face was calm, he had already set off a monstrous wave in his heart.

I was still worried about what to do if the Peacock Dynasty attacked Great Qin.

Even, he also pondered a way to send a message to Brother Zheng, so that he could delay as much time as possible, but he didn't expect that without waiting for the Mauryan Dynasty to make a move, the First Emperor would take the lead in sending troops.

I didn't expect that in just half a month, Great Qin destroyed a giant city of the Peacock Dynasty, and such a feat would definitely be recorded in history.

"This old ancestor is too strong, a little outrageously strong."

Li Meng operated on the computer with both hands, trying to simulate the outcome of this battle, his face full of shock.

"It seems that we are worried about Your Majesty in vain, Daqin has Your Majesty at the helm, and it will definitely not be able to capsize the ship, it is not us who should be worried, but the Peacock Dynasty, presumably the current Yintu is about to cry." Jin Lao's eyes were also shocked.

With their identity, they have seen many major events in their lives, and they have already cultivated a character that is as immobile as a mountain, and the problem is that the strength of Daqin is really unexpected.

Even in modern times, it is extremely difficult to send an infantry across the Himalayas in the cold winter months, let alone the ancient times with backward equipment.

It's nothing short of a miracle!

It's hard to imagine how the old Qin people did it.

But when you think about it, you have to pay a great price.

"Having said that, it's still hard to say how to win this battle, the Mauryan Dynasty has 100 million people, plus the terrifying ability to reproduce, the victory or defeat is at most five or five points." Wang Lao took a deep breath and tried to calm his mood.

I still feel that the First Emperor is a little too anxious about this move

After the end of winter, the disaster brought by the volcanic ash to Great Qin disappeared, and it would not be long before the national strength could be restored, and it was completely possible to attack other small forces around, and there was no need to fight with the Mauryan Dynasty at such a time.

"What if, this old ancestor is 100% sure?"

Li Meng went to the side to get a few glasses of juice and said meaningfully.
