Daqin: You were asked to build the Great Wall and you destroyed the Huns?

Chapter 385 Is one hundred thousand worthy of provocation?

Maurya, east coast.

One hundred thousand guard troops stationed in the south began to move north excitedly as soon as they received the order.

On the way, they met up with ten thousand cavalry, which was a mighty force.

The general who led them was named Axetus.

He is the nephew of the current Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister took office not long ago. Although he has considerable power, he has no military power at all.

It takes time to put a trustworthy person in the position.

What's more, attacking such a little-known country is almost a waste of military exploits.

Of course the Prime Minister will not miss it.

Not to mention they also brought 10,000 cavalry.

He wanted to demonstrate his abilities to the greatest extent.

You know, the entire Mauryan Dynasty only had 60,000 cavalry.

Axeto could only say with a fake smile.

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

"Such a coalition of 50,000 people would be hard-pressed to resist even ten thousand of us."

At this moment, the army marched to Yangjia Province and was already less than dozens of miles away from Mount Noa.

After all, the Prime Minister had personally warned him that the main purpose of this war was to win over the generals and gain military power.

Axeto's words did not alert everyone.

Combined with the words, I suddenly understood.

The cavalry of other small countries in the north cannot compare with them.

We must seize this opportunity and win the most beautiful battle.

"The leader of the Zhiti tribe said that 50,000 of them fought to the death and caused nearly 10,000 injuries to the opponent."

But now the generals are all extremely arrogant and their thoughts are not on the war at all.

But as the prime minister's nephew, Axetto, he was extremely fed up with what these people were doing.

"The Tiao Zhi tribe, which is known as the first tribe on the eastern coast, I saw with my own eyes when I followed King Asoka to gather them."

"The 50,000 allied troops of the Tiao clan and the border clans were all destroyed in the hands of the enemy."

The deputy general's words made Axeto very dissatisfied, but it was difficult for him to get angry.

The generals following him didn't care.

There is no way that small country can withstand the attack of a hundred thousand troops.

"Don't be careless, please!"

"But I don't want too many casualties in this battle."

In his opinion, the reason he had the opportunity to command such a large army was to make great achievements.

"a ha ha ha!"

"The general is overly concerned!"

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

This made Axeto extremely angry, and he wanted to slap them all awake.

Our losses were controlled to less than 8,000, the enemy was wiped out, and we even counterattacked into the hinterland of Qin.

Only in this way can he prove his ability.

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

In their opinion, the outcome of this battle has already been determined.

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

"To defeat them, we need to send 80,000 people, so what kind of thing can Qin be?"

Therefore, their thoughts were all on pleasing Axeto.

Instead, he was comforted by his subordinate generals.

"Although there are three thousand cavalry in the clan, the weapons and armor are too old and worn out. The soldiers have no strategy in fighting and are no longer worthy of being more like farmers."

Just keep complimenting the manager.

Not to mention the Qin State, which has never been heard of in the East.

It is best to achieve a casualty ratio of ten to one.

How much benefit can an individual receive?

Victory is already certain, and the only thing they need to worry about is the post-war awards.

The generals immediately narrowed their eyes.

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

But who knows, Axeto said something else.

"Also, after all, this is the first opportunity given to me by the God King, and I also want to do better."

"At least we can't let the King of Gods think that this battle will be the same no matter who he sends."

"Then why not limit the damage to less than 8,000!"

These words immediately made the generals on both sides look even more solemn.

After all, the opponent had an army of 80,000 men. The young general wanted to defeat ten men one to one. This was really a huge ambition.

In this way, the defense line must be defeated within the shortest possible time of contact with the enemy.

After that, we have to quickly disrupt all the opponent's layout.

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

The requirements are not too high.

However, the enemy's combat power is not strong after all, and we still have 10,000 elite cavalry.

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

One of the tall, bearded men responded in a deep voice.

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

"Isn't it just a quick defeat?"

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

After hearing this, Axeto finally had his mind right.

His mouth opened in excitement.

"it is good!"

"That's how it should be."

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

"Report!"

"The people of Qin really took over Mount Noah."

"And they also formed a line of defense at the foot of the mountain."

"Judging from its appearance, there are tens of thousands of people."

These words made everyone present stare.

Axeto screamed even more harshly.

"How brave you are to invade the territory of our Mauryan Dynasty like this."

"If you don't retreat even after being warned, you won't be able to remember them without beating them painfully!"

"The generals obey the order and the army speeds up."

"Ben will take back my Mauryan Kingdom's territory within one day."

"We must invade Daqin within three days, find their capital, find out their king and make him sober!"

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

At this time, the bearded general spoke out again.

"General, if you think you want to quickly defeat the opponent's defense line, you must first gain momentum and break their confidence."

"Especially since they just defeated 50,000 coalition troops, and they are in full momentum at the moment."

"Let them recognize the reality without suppressing it."

"If we start a war directly, I'm afraid it will also hinder our army!"

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

Axetto also frowned in thought.

"Then tell me, how to suppress the opponent's momentum and frighten the enemy?"

The bearded general smiled slightly.

"This is the easiest thing for you to do."

"The other small country does not have the strength to form cavalry."

"Chief Zhiti also said that his three thousand cavalry were attacked directly at the door of the opponent's house before they were besieged and died!"

"It shows their fear of the cavalry."

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

"That mighty momentum will definitely scare the enemy."

"Then our 100,000-strong army will follow closely behind, let alone the other party's soldiers."

"I'm afraid their generals won't have the guts to defend anymore."

"It's impossible to say that we will be able to recapture Mount Noah without any bloodshed."

"The general can also march eastward again and achieve more achievements!"

As soon as the words fell, Axeto's eyes were already bright.

Appreciate this person with a smile.

"well said."

"That's how it should be!"

Other generals were dissatisfied with this man taking the lead, but they also nodded, believing that this move would indeed hurt local confidence the most.

Seeing that there was no objection, Axeto shouted.

"Herald the cavalry!"

"Prepare the battle first and let Qin have a good look."

"What a huge dynasty they have provoked!"

After the words fell, the herald immediately went back.

Not long after, ten thousand mighty cavalry rushed towards the east.

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

Always waiting for the Maurya counterattack.

After all, this is a huge dynasty that even His Highness has warned.

Never take it lightly.

He turned around and looked at the difficult and dangerous place behind him where he had been lying in wait for a long time.

Then he scanned the hundreds of warships hidden in the bay to the south.

His face was solemn.

They roughly calculated in their hearts that if the other party came with 200,000 people, they could hold on for more than a month.

If 500,000 people come, they can only hold on for ten days.

If millions of people come, it will be very difficult to defend for three days.

It will take another three days for His Highness's army to arrive. Zhang Han felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Hopefully the opponent won't go all-in as soon as they come up.

But the words just fell.

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

"Report!"

"Enemy cavalry sighted ten miles to the west."

"There are ten thousand in number, and they are speeding towards us!"

These words made Zhang Han look solemn.

The deputy general beside him also frowned.

"Is there 10,000 cavalry just for the pathfinding vanguard?"

"It looks like this battle is going to be difficult!"

Zhang Han frowned and thought for a moment.

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

"They dare to brutally kill my Da Qin soldiers, they must pay the price with blood!"

"So what if we have a million troops?"

Zhang Han turned over and climbed up the boulder beside him, stood on the top of the mountain and shouted to all the soldiers.

"Soldiers!"

"I, the Qin Dynasty, swept across the world and unified the nine states."

"What for?"

"Isn't it just to prevent us Qin people from being bullied by foreigners?"

"But now His Highness is stepping on the Huns, sweeping the Western Regions, and is invincible in Yuyu."

"But there are still people who took the opportunity to sneak attack and brutally kill two hundred of our loyal soldiers of Great Qin!"

"Tell me, what should I do?"

Suddenly, sounds echoed from all over the forest.

"The only way to avoid being bullied by foreigners is to kill them!"

"Kill him until he is heartbroken, kill him until he kneels down and begs for mercy!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Zhang Han nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right!"

"Only kill!"

"Let me tell you, those two hundred soldiers are not unable to leave."

"But they feel that they cannot lose the face of Great Qin, and they cannot lose the blood of our Qin people!"

"Even if the opponent's number is a hundred times greater than theirs, we will fight to the end."

"What they protect is the dignity of our Qin Dynasty and the bottom line of our Qin people!"

"But these enemies unexpectedly attacked us secretly and brutally skinned our warriors in public."

"Tell me, they didn't retreat, even if they faced a million troops today!"

"Should I wait and retreat?"

The chaotic shouts all around suddenly gathered into a torrent.

"Fight to the death!"

"Don't retreat!"

"Don't retreat!"

The violent roar finally satisfied Zhang Han.

"Then follow me and face the enemy!"

As soon as the words fell, ten thousand cavalry from the west happened to rush out from the distant mountains and forests.

Like an earth dragon, it stirred up a huge cloud of dust.

At the foot of Mount Noah.

When the ten thousand soldiers saw that the enemy was cavalry, they immediately began to change their formations.

The shield soldiers retreated and the spear soldiers stepped forward.

In the trenches dug on both sides, soldiers dozens of meters tall and slightly short in stature were bent forward in groups of two holding iron ropes.

Until he reached the front of the battle line, he lay down tens of meters away, ready to tighten the snagging rope at any time.

All the generals were extremely solemn at this moment.

Those who dare to put cavalry in the vanguard are either nomadic people who are horse-oriented.

Or even if the troops are strong, the 10,000 cavalry are just the vanguard.

His Highness said that the other party also belonged to a farming civilization like Da Qin, so the only explanation left was the latter.

Together with Zhang Han's shout just now, it boosted morale.

The purpose is to prevent the soldiers from feeling psychological pressure when they see the opponent's millions of troops.

It was almost telling the soldiers that the enemy was much more numerous than imagined.

When ten thousand cavalry came to the forefront of the front line in a mighty manner.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Watch closely behind, waiting for the real army to appear.

Sure enough, these 10,000 cavalrymen had no intention of rushing up to test them.

He just kept wandering outside the range of the bow and arrow.

From time to time, they would also yell and taunt at the soldiers on the defense line.

"You small countries have eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?"

"Dare to attack my Mauryan Dynasty?"

"Is your general going crazy?"

"How dare you leave ten thousand of you to garrison?"

"Do you know they are asking you to die?"

"You are still stupid, standing here motionless!"

"Stupid as a donkey, hahaha!"

These words made all the officers and soldiers of the Qin army look ugly.

There seemed to be a surge of anger in his heart.

But their good military qualities prevented them from acting rashly.

But everyone looked at these cavalry with very fierce eyes.

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

These ten thousand cavalrymen looked at the Qin army's defense line that did not dare to move at all and was even shrinking.

I was overjoyed for a moment.

"Inform the General."

"As soon as I waited for the cavalry to appear, I scared the enemy out of their courage!"

A few people made radical attempts and even rode horses to within a hundred paces of the defense line.

But still not a single arrow was shot from the Qin people's line.

Being arrogant, they didn't feel anything was wrong at all.

I just think this is the suppression of small countries when facing cavalry.

And on the mountain, they looked so arrogant and ignorant of life and death.

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

The lieutenants were all furious.

"It's really courting death!"

"Even though I have traveled thousands of miles with His Highness, I have never seen such an arrogant enemy!"

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

"Today, even if they have a million troops, I will kill all these 10,000 cavalry!"

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

"They just want to piss you off and make you lose your mind."

"With such a despicable method, do you still want to be fooled?"

Zhang Han glanced at the generals.

"Your Highness will arrive in three days, I don't care what method you use."

"You must defend the area I designated for you."

"Even if the last person dies, the last drop of blood will be shed!"

"The defense line cannot be broken!"

Zhang Han's stern words once again aggravated people's inner solemnity.

No matter how angry the generals were, they could only nod in agreement at this moment.

That is at this moment.

In the far west, the enemy's real army finally arrived.

With the waving military flags appearing one after another.

Zhang Han and others all stared uneasily.

Everyone wants to see how many people there are in the enemy.

As the first batch of 100,000 troops entered the front of the battle line.

Zhang Han squinted his eyes and carefully observed the second batch of military formations behind the smoke.

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

At the edge of the mountain forest behind, the smoke gradually dispersed and became clearer.

The forest suddenly returned to silence.

There was no more movement.

This scene made the generals stunned to explain.

Zhang Han woke up first. Could it be that the opponent had other attack routes?

Or gather in batches?
But the words were not finished.

At the foot of the mountain, the enemy's cavalry shouted at the top of their lungs to the battle line.

"did you see it!"

"My Mauryan Dynasty's one hundred thousand army has arrived!"

"If you don't retreat, you won't surrender."

"The only way out for you is to die!"

After the words fell, the defender on the defense line at the foot of the mountain was the first to blink.

"What? Only 100,000 people?"

The originally solemn brows of the soldiers beside him relaxed instantly.

"Only 100,000 people came. How could they have the courage to be so provocative?"
